BAT BARNARD INJUNCTION — -—-= Argument Upon the Application for Its Modification. The Court Explains What He Meant to Do and Still Means to Do. A Raid on Municipal Extrava- gance and Sinecures. A hearing of the argument on the appiication of the Department of Public Works for a modification of the Foley injunction order took place at ten oclock yesterday morning, before Judge Barnard, in the Supreme Court, Chambers. There was a large crowd in attendance, its component parts present- ing the same motley variety of politicians, office- holders and loungers about the Court House as on previous occasions when the same subject was up. The lawyers—the same as have been empioyed all the way through—were promptly on hand. Mr. Bare lett commenced with THE OPENING ARGUMENT. Mr. BARTLETT—Your Honor, in the case of Foley va. the Supervisors and others, I am here on behalf of the Department of Public Works in support of an application for a modification of the injunction here- tofore granted by you in this action, The moditica- son we ask for is one which was ordered by Your Monor on the injunction as it stands, but by some act of omission was left out, not by me, for Iwas not then counsel for the department. It is ® modification in the precise words well selected by Your Honor, as applied to the other departments which are excepted from the effects of the injunction; itis merely that the Department of Pubtic Works «may do that which 1t 1s required by law to do; that the funds may be provided for it which are authorized and required by law to be provided. I conceive that to be a modification emimently fit for the Court to make of its’ own motion. We have, however, sprenarea some very = affidavits, which we will read, and on them eat. Judge BARNARD—There is no necessity. They are served on the other side, and I have read them. Mr. LAWRENCE, Who opposed the application, then read thé foliowing affidavit as a reply tothe affidavit of Mr. Tracy, already published :— City and County of New York, « daly sworn, says that be is au en: sition of Cihe! Engineer of the late Croton Aqueduct ment from July, 1648, until he resignea therefrom in 1868; that while occupying sueh position deponent becan familiar with all the works of the Croton Aqueduct, includ- ng its structures, mains and reservoirs, and with the Croton River, AVIT. Alfred W. Craven, being ineer and occupied the po- its tributaries and water shed: that be bad charge of structures and operutions undertaken durinj S ned, and of the preparation of seimnaion soca wiiteh the game were carried ont ‘eservoir, on the western branch of the Croton River «which 1s alluded to im the aldavit of Edward, H. ned and commenced during this period; jonent’s belief, as an engineer, the kind of work required on a structure of this character ought not to be prosecuted during cold weather, and 1s generally pro- tubited by express specications in all such contracts hereto- fore made by the Croton Aqueduct Board, after about Octo- ber 15; that the natural lakes in the valley of the Croton River, referred to in suid af- davit, although comraratively of little value as perm: it ator reservoirs, are quite avaiable as tem- porary enfeguards in special emergencies, and sufficient in volume to prevent any sudden great inconvenience; and that deponent is wholly unable to perceive any more dangers threatening this city in case the work upon this reservoir !s not continued at the present time than it has been exposed ‘ofor several years. Deponent further states that in his opinion there is no more demand at present in that portion of cily below Fourteenth street for the additional supply of water intended to be provided for by the laying of the inde- pendent %5-inch tnains from Forty-second street to fidavit, than Ubambers street, referred to in Mr. Tracy's hag exinted for a nomber of years past, ‘Tha ihe defects in the waier aysiem referred to in the said aflldavii in regard to the size of the pipes north of Fourteenth street, and the want of proper connections, at well as the necesdity of an are pipes being laid in ‘certain localities, mattere which have ext for years? work required to supply them is a matter of con God not uv! necessity, andfor which there is no immedia Wressnre, and (hat no more danger or inconvenience to the sity will be experienced if the work ja not continned during this winter than has been experienced for years past; that this fa also the case in regard to the pipes connecting the city with the islands tn the Kast River; that the work of replacin, the aqueduct between Ninety-third and 113th atreets wit fron pipes is one designed not to add to the water supply ot Ibe city or to remove any dancer arising from that can: Dnt to remove the obstruction to the public which ts a by the embankment upon which the aque !uct is curred; What the provecut ono. this work is more likely to make it necessary to snapend the Cow ot water fora period during the work than to increase It, and Is not in any way called for by the necessities of the chy for water; in fact, the law re- quiring this improvemect was passed in opposition to the wishes of tne Croton Aqueduct Department. A. W. CRAVEN, : ABOVE AFFIDAVIT AS A TEST. NCE—It seems to me that tne applica- granted, is virtually a dissolation of the in- junction; and if the injanction which Your Honor, alter very Careful argument before you a month or so ago and alter the mature consideration you gave the subject, is to be cut away piecemeal, he might as well make one job of it and dissolve the injanction entire- ly. One thing 14 apparent, that every act referred jo In Mr. ‘Tracy's afidavit as conlerring authority on the Department of Public Works for doing the work mentioned in the afMdavit was passed before ihe Two Ver Cent act which, has been the matter of so muca discussion, T take the position that im Your Hooor’s opinion the acts reier Tracy have been repealed by the Two or if not, there can be no Itatlon to the depart- ent to carry om any schemes or ex d any jount of mouvey they may dcem fit. Tracy's atti- davit refers to four kings Of werks. First, the storage reservoir on the west bank of the Croton river. Tne authority for raising mouey for the res- srvotr, he says, Is contained the act passed on the 2th of February, 1871, and amended in April, 1871. These two acts contemplate an expenditure of a mitlion dollars, and 1 submit anless some coutrolling necessity ¢xisis for that vast sum of money at this particular lume on this rucular work Your Honor ought not to graut the plication. Now, we have the affidavit of one of the most competent engineers in this city or country, who shows that as to that particular kind of work, in his opinion as an engineer ana according to the custom and practice of the Croton Aqueduct De- d to by Mr. er Cent act, partment, it would be improper ww continue me prosecution of that work alter the cold weuther sets in. Therefore it seems w me there can be no controlling necessity or particular emergency for the work to go on and she mouey to be spent, even assuming tbat it is tegally in the power of the Department to call on the Comptroller that it may be expended, Now, I anderstood that your Honor intervened tn this case for the reason that you supposed froim the facts vefore you that the public moneys were being squandered, and that, siting as a Court of Equity, you deemed it your duty to intervene, unt some legislative remedy was provided, Therefore, your Honor will not undo what you have done without a grea: controlling necessity, which does not exist a8 to this first kind Of works, JUDGE BARNARD EXPLAINS THE INJUNCTION ORDER. Judge BARNAnD—I cannot tell what the necessity may ve unttl I come to examine the two afi- davite and the law, but as you were not present when [ made the order, and may not have under- stood its effect, though it was very fuiiy reported in the papers, | wlll sunply state tie object of the in- janction was, ip the first instance, to SAVE THE PROPLE’S MONEY and to prevent the pubic Treasury from being the present or the future by direcung at- the necessity for a change la the Board of the accession of some gentleman migence, Which, in wy It Was w KE SALARIES, A probably two mulion dollars a the Court ry moun ment oa aud ior @vertiming aud printing bilis cogirac tw the amoaut of several hundred thousend Gollars, and to prevent expenditure on the Court House unl the community was satis! it | Would ve done With economy aad hunest 4 to prevent vonds from teing iseued with- out due authority; bot it was not to cause hard-working laborers and mea depending on their salaries to be put out of employmentin | consequence of any irrega arty committed by pub. | lie officers. Whether this modification prayed for is hecessary of not lam not anie to answer at present. if public Necessity doca not demand a continuation of the works, Uf the works mmay be completed as Well or better some otuer time. I shail not give the Modificacion; but if It be shown that vo refuse it would prevent the becessary completion of water works for pnbuc supply or prevent the Board of Health from carrytug out sanitary precautions, or prevent the Gus Board from procuring tie light which is the best remedy, as we know, against tue CHIMES COMMITTED IN DARK ESA, 1 shall rmodily it to that extent, but not for the sake of keeping @ gang of men employed without necessity.

LAWRENCE CONTINUES THE ARGUMENT, Mr. LawteNnce—No necessity exiats now more than for the last ten years with regard to these water alps or the removal of the oid aqueduct; the latter wiil not increase tne supply, but diminish it while the works are going on. In accordance with Your Honor’s views it 1s proper we should wait until action be taken to see whether the Legis ature intended the acts relied upon by the otber side were to have the effect contended for. but the modificauon prayed for in Mr. Tweed's report to me imse\t, Ono & necessity and the other tat there is none; but | sent a disiuterested person, who may come to @ conclusion of his own.

BARTLEIT. Mr. BaRTLET?, in reply, said taat was a Craven davit, on which to oppose the application, Some ssatisfied engineer “believes” —not that he knows anyihing—and he “is unable to sce.” Now they might have brought a blind man here who couldn’t see anything, and it would be —— as much pertt- nence, He then spoke of the abiilly and experience of Mr. , and said that they did not bring a mob behind them on the other side; but they oppose the will of the people of the State, who conterred the powers, irom the exercise of which we seek to have the injunction removed. right nas the Court to iterpose its will on the before it against Che will of the Stater I believe Your Honor, in common with the majority of the citizens, must have a sincere respect for the head of that department; but, whatever your opinion may be, it can have no eifect on your Judicial action, for the law placed them there, and unthi it is repealed it is to respected—certainly Tespected by the Supreme Court of the State. FURTHER EXPLANATION BY THE JUDGE. Judge BakNARD—I will take the wig and look at the order to see what alterauion, if any, ls to be Made in the injuncuion as granted, or the injunc- ion order as presented; but I will say, in my judge ment, it is impossible for any person to obtain a dollar wrongfully out of the treasury. The gentle- man who spoke last misapprehends the original order, It Was not to set aside the laws, but to see that they were honestly carried out by the men temporarily entrusted witb ofice; and, in regard to the allegation or sugxestion of Mr. Bartlett, that mothing was proved against Mr. ‘lweed, nothing was charged against him ex- cept that he was interested in a certai printing company, which he denied; and it was not claimed that any charge rested against him on that proceed- ing, except that as one of the Buard of Works they were raising Money not authorized by law. The Court intended to accomplish what no remedy ex- sted for in law. By its inherent power the Court of Equity has a right to step in and prevent the squan- dering of public money, to prevent the Governor even or any one else, by an injunction. AN OLD LAW TO STAN Mr. BARTLETT—That is a law whic 200 years and no one disputes tt. Judge BARNARD—I have tive years yet on the Bench and it has got to stand for that time. (Laughter.) After the above remark by the Judge the counsel passed up their respective papers for judicial exam- ination and thus terminated the proceedings, It is probable that a decision will be given at an early lay. has existed THE COURTS.

The Accused Pronounced ‘Not Guilty, on the Ground of Insanity.” The trial of William Rudd, chargea with killing his wife by throwing her out of a tenement house window in Reale street last May, was concluded yesterdsy, Previons to the adjournment on Friday counsel for the defence called mr. George Paddock, who accompanied him to the premises where tne alleged murder was committea, and who placed himself in the position which tie witness Hume Occupied when he swore that he saw Rudd strug- gling with his wife and throwing her out of the window. Paddock said that it was impossible to see what Hume testified to seeing. TESIMONY AS TO THB PR\SONER’S INSANITY. The first witness cailed for the deience yesteraay was William D. Harris, @ merchant and a memper of the Port Society and of the Mariners’ church. Knew the prisoner eight yeara, who was a member In good standing of the church; during the last year, and a few weeks before the killing, the pris- oner spoke to the witness about the intemperance and unkindness of his wife, and shed tears while Speaking of it; he appearea to speak in a kind tone of her, although he said she waa a bad woman. Samuel Ellioit, the missionary of the Mariner's churen, said he Knew the prisoner for the last six years, and that his character for peaceabieness and sobriety was good, but for the last year he noticed a change in his deportment; he sought the advice of the witness respecting how he shouid act in refer- ence to his wife, who was acting badly, saying that he loved her very much; his conversation was “mixed up’ a good deal, and he (the witness) remarked to persons that he be- lievea Rudd was going crazy; Rudd always professed to be greatly devoted to his wife; this was six weeks before the death of Mrs, Rudd; the prisoner complained that his wife did not take care of the house, would not get his supper, was in- temperate and took a man to board in the house, in Whose room she was locked up all night; when he spoke of his troubles he seemed very much excited and wept a great deal. Louts B, Dartois testified that he knew the pris- oner and nis wife since 1866; that his treatment of her was always very kind and gentie, but that she used tantalizing words to him. Joho R, Fiuiey, a clerk with Brush & Clarke, said that just previous to the occurrence the prisoner came to borrow money irom Mr, Brush to give to his wi he was excited, sobbed and wrung his hands; the prisoner said to Finley that bis wife would give him no peace unless she nad money; that she was halt Indian and ball Irish, and that he believed she went with other men; he spoke of loving his wite very much; of loving the ground she waiked on; he seemed to be in great fear of his wife; witaecss asked him if he was airaid se would kill him, to which he made no reply, Elizabeth Mulchamp testified that Ruda was a quiet, obedtent husband, waile his wue was an ugly-tempered woman; on tne Thursday before tne killing the prisoner and his wife were at the house of the witness; he appeared to treat her kindly, and although she had been away ‘rim him for weeks he did not upbraid her; the prisoner was religious, and when he read his Bible or said prayers she would make fun of him; witness on one occasion saw Foley and Mrs. Rudd acting umproperly; she would call Rudd insulting names, and teil him to ae hell; at sach times Rudd would smile and say Dothing. Annie Martin gave similar testimony, and addea that on the day preceding the killing the prisoner came to the room of the witness about fifty times to inquire if his wife had returned, only remaining a moment; she (the witness) remarked thet she guessed Rudd would be crazy. Rev. Dr. Morphy, of the Port Soclety, testified that Rudd was a member of his church, and that within a year he told Dr. Murphy that nis wife was treating him badly; had taken a man into the house to board; slept in hls room and refused to sleep with him; he was in avery great state of excitement at that time; on the Sunday evening before tne occurrence Rudd visited witness and stated that his wife had left him and gone away with another man, that he loved her very much, and was willing to work his hands off if she wouldomy come back ana ilve with him; he did not want a separation. George Duriee, who knew the prisoner and his wile, said that some time last March she, in com- pany with the man Foley, came to his house; she sald she had left that English ivy of hers; the witness said, ‘You are very foolish; it will set the man crazy; he told me he worshipped the ground you walked upon;’’ she said, “He is crazy already; I don’t want to have anything more to do with him."” Thomas Haivir-on, the sexton of the church of which Rudd was a@ member, sald that sometimes during the last year he would goto church in a Taving State avout his wile; that she bad left him, and that he Joved her as his own soul; in Fevruary or March he used language which itadies ought not to hear, stating that 1¢ was enough to set a man raving mad to have such a nice wile as.sbe was ana had not slept with her for nine months. Edward N, Taller, Jr., James T. Tailer, Richard B. Baker and James Devlin were ¢xamined. ‘he prisoner was in the employ of the Messrs. 'Tai!er for six years, during which time he was an upright and ‘sober man. These witnesses all testified that within the last year a great and perceptible change had taken place in Rudd in consequence of his wife’s behavior; he seemed to gradually lose his memory; woulda sit down and cry for huif ap hour at a time, and acted in such a way as to lead them to believe that he was acting in a crazy manner; although they placed the greatest confidence in his honesty they took the keys of the store from him and watched his movements. Drs. Raymon Anuble and M. A, Balley, who had listened to all the evidence given respecting the condition of the prisoner's mind within the last few months, testified that, in their opinion, there was a doubt as to his sanity at the time the act was com- matted, SUMMING UP. Counsel proceeded to sum up the case, Mr. Townsend contending that it was clearly demon- strated that if Rudd threw his wife out of the win- dow he was insane at the time. Assistant District Attorney Sullivan contended that the significant expressions of Rudd after his wite was thrown from the winaow showed that he knew the nature of the act he committed when he said, “1 give in; if she dies I will be hung; if she lives [ will be sent to the State Prison.” THE CHARGE, Recorder HACKETT proceeded to deliver aciear and interesting charge. He said that, assuming the sanity of the accused, the evidence wouid justtiy one of the followmg verdicts:—Murder in the first degre, Of manslaughter in the second or fourth de- ces, OF a Verdict of bgt ae upon the ground of insauity at the time of the commission of the offeace. After definmg the various grades of homicide, his Houor said that it would be imprudent for him to comment at jength upon the testimony, Me would simply group tl a8 appertaining to the question of mauce or insanity, The Recorder read copious extracts from lis charge In the celebrated McFarland case upon the question of insanity, aud in conclusion said thatit they believed tue prisoner took the law into bisown hands to avenge his real or fancied wrongs while in @ state of sanity, and with matice, however sentiment for the living prisoner may ap plaud the act, he ts guiity of felonious kuling. Tue Recorder charged a number of propositions of law snomitted by the counsel for the prisoner, after which the jury retired, at twenty minutes past four o'clock, to deliverate upon their verdict. THE VERDICT. After being absent firty miuntes they returned ito Court and the forewan rendered a verdict of “Not guity.”” og prisouer was so overcome that he wept bit- terly. ACQUITTED ON THE PLEA OF INSANITY. The jury left their seats and were going from the court room, when the Recorder directed them to resume their seats. They did 80, aad His Honor asked the joreman if the verdict was ‘not guilty” on fee Rrotind of insanity. The loreman replied that he did not believe the prisoner was in his right mind at the tine he comimicted the act, but he did hot know whether he was insane or not at the pres- enttime. The Recorder airectea the clerk to enter the verdict “not gulity, on the ground of Insamity.”” Rudd was then discharged. THE GRAND JURY AND THE “RING' TROUBLES.

Have we considered the cause of the poor and needy? This has been a year of calamities to the world. Have we had sympathy for the suffering? The destroying angel whicn the Indian saw in the mountains, and remarked “The Big Spirit is mad,’ has been and 1s at work. We, asa Christian people, have lacked charity, which ts the vital part of true religion. Charity, we are told, hideth a multitude of sins. The greatest of charities is the preaching or teaching of the Word, Bivie traths, Christ’s cause, the saving of souls irom eternal death. To save the body 1s nothing in comparison to saving the soul from destruction. We have hereto- fore given, but meagrely, to Christ’s cause, the teaching and publishing of the Gospel. Now, will not the Church give an offering unto tue Lord, what his anger may be turned into a blessing? G. tT. More about the “sin of the Age.” To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD. Tnoticed a communication in Sunday’s Herap, beaded “Sin of the Age,” and subscribed * Patiiot,”” which, 1 think, 18 open to refaiation. ‘The writer assumes that Catholics are more moral and increase more rapidly than Protestants; that whis is the result of their religion; ana has gloomy forobodings that unless we retrograde in our ideas of worship and embrace Catholicity we shall drift mto barbarism, and finally we shatl be all elther Jews or Catholics, Now, I dispute every one of nis asscruons and conclusions. Catpolics are not more woral and do nol increase faster than Protestants, Spain, where Catholicism has had undisputed sway for centuries, does not increase as fast in population as Britain, nor does France exhivit the increase of Germany. The Irish and Scotcn, and I may as well include the English and Welsd, increase in about the same roportion. The cause of this 1s not to be found tn ‘neir religions, which are different, but lies in tne lact that they are essentially the one people. = The Protestant counties of Europe are certainly increasing in numbers more than the Catholic, and as Southern Europe is rapidly discovering symp- toms of atheistic heresies the asseruon that we shall all be ultimately either Jews or Catholics is based on the too sanguine hope of “Patriot.” The Irish are about tne only Catholic people at present who present reproductive vitality in a large degree. The reasons that Americans do not muluply as re numerous. First, wey are as arule beter oi pecuuiarily, better educated, and therefore have more forethought, and sre unwilling to be parents unless their offspring can be happy. They do not muitiply with the reckiess carelessness: ot the denizens ol the tow wards in New York city, turning out thieves, pickpockets and candidates for the penitentiary. The educated and more refined classes of society in every country obey the same law. it is the indi gent poor who multiply in such alarming numbers That umes’ some such outlet as emigration ts 09. tained Communism fnally steps in to regulaie things generally, if human morality and increase were determined by religion, then the docirmes of Posttivists, who believe that man ilves only in his offspring, seems to me the best anildote against abortion and every Kindred crime against humaulty, A BELIEVER IN FACTS. Practical Charity and Practical Curistianity. To THE EpiTor OF THE HERALD:— [saw in the RRRALD of the 13th inst. an article headed “New York Preachers’ Meeting,’’ which the pastors of the Methodist Episcopal churches of the city of New York and vicinity held at $05 Broad- way, on the 12th inst. It was resolved that “We recommend the pastors to take collections at their respective churches for the relief of the sufferers by fire in the city of Chicago.” Now, without disput- ing the charity emooaied in the anove resolution, I would recommend the pastors herein mentioned to give substantial proof to their congregations of their own Charities by subscribing something themselves a8 Well as their congregations. Let the pastors first subseribe themselves before requesting their con- Gregations. In the same colamn there is an account of a meet- ing held in Salt Lake City, Utab, which was presided over by Mayor Wells, where Brigham Young, Sr., subscribed one thousand dollars in aid of the same aitiicted peuple.

Isnace. ‘The story of the Deluge, the preservation of Noah, his sacrifice of thanksgiving to God and Jehovah's perpetual covenant wivh the patriarch, were the subjects introduced m this aynagogue yesterday in the reading of the Scriptures in course. The Rev. Mr. Isaacs subsequently based nis discourse on Genesis vit, 2i (Dart):—"And the Lord sinciled a sweet savor, and the Lord said in nis heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake; for the imagination of man's heart is evil trom hia youth.” from this text, said Mr, Isaacs, we learn two grand principles—namely, tne goodness of God and the depravity of man. In order propery tounderstand the scheme of Divine goodness we Inust look back at the condition and estate of our originai forefather, Adam sinned and was sea tenced to die, but the sentence of death was not speedily executed upon nim, There is& beautiful allegory in the ancient tradivon, which relates that \ | when he was 330 years old, though on account of hug fall 4 hie . LIPS WaS COMPARATIVELY MISERABLE, Vet he desired to live longer. He therefore ‘calted together his sons, of whom he had a great many, and gave them his blessing, But Seth was the moas godly of tnem, and Adam selected him to go to the Garden of Eden and secure a fruit trom the tree of life, that his years might be prolonged. Seth ar- rived at the piace, but was met by a cherub, who in- quired his business and then dented his request, but handed him a plant called tmmortality, which re- vived his declining strength and gave pleasure and peace to hia departing hours, And when tne old man died his children took up the plant and carried it along from generation to generation. nourishing and caring for it until the days of Solomon, who, with all bis wisdom, did his utmost to destroy it, Nevertheless the world has always believed im the immortality of the soul and in the goodness of God, as well as in the depravity of mankind. ‘The wickedness of man increased upon the earth untih God saw that it was necessary to destroy man from off the face of the earth. But in the destruction of the world by @ deluge Noah and his family were saved, for they only were found hteous belere Goa, And the patriarch’s first act alter his deliver- ance was one of worstup ana thankfulness, and the Lord smelled a sweet savor and renewed his Adamic covenant with Noah adding also several new con- ditions thereto, “I wii not again,” said God, “curse the ground for man’s sake, for the imagina- tion of his heart 18 evil from his youth.” Is it nos the expertence of every one of us that the child from the moment of its birtn seeks to do all the miscniefitcan? We must teach men to be good, for they cannot become so naturally. The inciin- ings of the heart are to evil aud only evil cou- tinually, WE ARE ALL BAD until we see and are Jed into the better way. “Neither will J,’’ said the Lord to Noah, ‘enna smite every living thing as I have done. hile the earth remaineth seed time and harvest, and cold er hea and summer and Winter, and day and night shall not cease.” aiiter this mankind continued for a time good, but the goodness did not last long. As soon as they be- came numerous and strong they strayed from God, und having forsaken the better way they sought oat a Way of their own by which they might hold com- munion with Heaven. ‘Go to,” said they; “let us build us a city and a town whose top may reach uate heaven, and let us make us a name.” “What is @ name? asked the preacher. The name of the wicked shali rot, but the memory of the righteous 1s blessed. Nabal was ois name aud folly was.with him. A good name is rather to be chosen tham great riches. But those people wanted a name, not to perpetuate their good deeds, but to show their unity of race and worship. And they gave & name to a city and a tower whose site is unknown and bronght confusion upon themselves and upon their work, But there was one brand plucked, a3 it were, from the burning—Abranam by name, He is worshipped and loved, not by the Jew alone, but the Arab, and the prowling Arab too, Applying these incidents to the present circumstances of the Hebrews, Mr. Isaacs remarked that, situated as they are here, ee have one language and one speech—not the Hebrew speech and language merely, but the LANGUAGE OF FRIENDSHIP AND AFFEOTION one for another. They have schools which are de- signed not alone to teach the Hebrew language, bat to strengthen Israel in the purer language of the heart, one toward another, Thus it was while they were little and feeble, but when tney strong there arose some among them who said, ‘Let ug make a name, We must set aside the old forms of Judaism and adopt one more progressive and better adapted to the spirit of the age. We must cast off this and that and the other, which are unfa- vorable and unbecoming to us 1m this free land.'? And one went so far as 10 Say that We must give up the Sabbath of the Lord; but I think, remarked Mr. Isaacs, he has advanced that doctrine for the last time. ‘The judgments of God have fallen upon hima in that Westeri city which now lies in ruins, And, while | hope we may ali remember our brethren of the house of Israel in ailiction there, yet I think 1¢ proper to call your minds back to the old landmarks. ‘There are here In the United States sixteen reformed rituals, willie we have but one. Let them go on, said he, ard establish for themselves aname for naving destroyed THE FOUNDATIONS OF JUDAISM, We owe God a debt of gratitude for what he Has done for us in this land of freedom; and while there are Men among us who are trying wo make @ vame by destroying the oid laadmarks, let us hold en te them, firm unto the end. Mr. Isaacs closed his discourse with some appro- priate words of encouragement and admonition to a young man who had just taken upon hunself the Synagogue vows and had assisted in the reading of the law.

At the other olices there was nothing beyond the ordinary routine business which could be con- siuered of any pablic importance, except AT THE TAX OFFICE, where from the early morning till long after the customary office hours the patient taxpayers were on hand, Tax Collector Smyth, with all bis aids, was kept busy receiving, counting and receipling for the “contributions” as they were handed ia.
