UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT. ‘an Imnortant Case Testing the; Legal Power of Consuls from Other Nations The Claim of the Seamen of the Prus- sian Bark Edwin Wreplin. WASHINGTON, April 19, 1872. ‘The following preceedings took place in the Su- preme court to-day :— In the case of Newman and others against the Prussian bark Edward Kreplin for seamen’s wages, motion was now made for a mandamus to Cir- euit Judge Woodrutf, of the Southern dis- trict of New York, to compel him to assume Jurisdiction of the case and to hear an appeal from a decree of District Judge Benedict on the merits, Judge Benedict having entered a decree for the wages claimed. Judge Woodruf, on appeal, reversed the decree, holding that no Gourt of the United States had juriadiction of the cause, because under the treaty of 1829 with Prussia the Prussian Consul has sole jurisdiction of such Claims, and that oMcer having actually decided the case against the appellants they were bound by that adjudication. It 1s here maintained that the treaty stipulations are unconstitutional and void, because they strip the Admiralty Courts ef the United States of the jurisdiction conferred upon them by the constitution, because the treaty has no reference to proceedings in rem, and be- cause the treaty is with the kingdom of Prussia, and there are no consuls or vice-consuls of that kingdom now in the United States, and those of the North German Union, which, it is urged, do not come within the treaty stipulation. Many minor points are also urged, and it is sub- mitted that to maintain such tribunals in our midst is to create many tribunals independent of our na- tional courts and y to the spirit of our in- Btitntions. Thirteen nationalities are cited which have treaties with similar clauses, thus establishing thirteen other trybunais of the same class, No. 59.—French vs. Edwards et al.—Error to the Cirenit Court for California.—This 18 an action of ejectment, brought by the plaintiffin error to re- cover possession of a tract of land in Sacramento county, California, being a part of what is known as the Sutter grant.

It is urged that the whole of the ae erty was sold to pay the judgment against it, and not merely such a ‘portion of it as ‘Was necessary to pay the claims of the State, as re- guizea by law.

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT—IN BANKRUPTCY. A Question About the Form of an Oath— The Privilege of a Lawyer. Yesterday Judge Blatchford rendered a decision 4n the matter of James M. Adams, a bankrupt. On ‘the 16th of March, in the present year, in an exami- nation before Mr. Isaac Dayton, the Register, Wil- liam G. Gates, the assignee, who Is also a creditor of the bankrupt, proposed to examine Mr. Edmund Terry, a lawyer, who had acted as attorney and counsel for the bankrupt. Mr. Terry then is sworn, his oath binding him to make true answers to all such questions as might be proposed to him respecting all the property of James M. Adams and ail dealings and transactions relating thereto, and make a true disclosure of all that had been done with the Property to the best of his knowl- edge, information and belief; also that he would make true answers to all questions relating to the disposal or condition of the said proj ary 45 the trade and dealing of the bankrupt with ethers and his accounts concerning the same, to all debts due or claimed from him, and all other matters concern- and the due settlement thereof To this oat ‘as added a reser- rry reserved to himself his r any question in regard to such matters, on the ground of privilege as the attorney and counsel of Adams, which he might not be able to answer except, in consequence of his re- tainer as such attorney and counsel and from infor- mation derived from his client as such. Under the above oath but one introductory ques- tfon was put to Mr. Terry, after which the proceed- ings were adjourned to the 18th of March. On that day counsel for the assignee objected to proceeding with the examination of Mr. Terry under the oath administered to him by the Register on the 1eth of March. The Register then prepared and proposed a form of oath, but Mr. Terry refused to be sworn according to it, at the same time declaring his wil- lingness to ve further examined under the oath he had taken on the 16th of March, the main substance of which is given above. He also declared that he ‘was willing to be sworn in this bankruptcy ‘in re- a to the matters now pending before the Regis- r,” and submitted a forin of oath to that effect to the Register. But counsel for the assignee and creditor objected to proceeding with the examina- tion of Mr. Terry under the oath administered to him on the 16th of March, and also to the form of ath prepared by Mr. Terr} The question arising upon these facts was certi- fied by the Register to the Judge. Judge Blatchford holds the proper oath is that in the form inserted above, without the reservation of Mr. ar added to it. The assignee and credi- tor was right, he says, In declining to proceed with the examination of the witness under the oath ad- ministered March 16, 1 and in objecting to the Witness being sworn in the form proposed by the withess.

A Blumenstiel attorney for appellant; Messrs, Cox & Ready uttorneys for defendant, SUPREME COURT—CHAMBERS. The Gould-Gordon Litigation. Before Judge Brady. Jay Gould vs. George H. Gordon, alias Gordon Gor- don.—This suit, which is an action to recover $273,000 in railroad stocks and certificates, alleged to have been obtained from the plaintiff through fraudulent representations, the facts of which were published in yesterday’s HERALD, came up again in this Court yesterday. The defendant, who is repre- sented as being known under the additional alias of the Earl of Aberdeen, wasin the hallway chatting unconcernedly with friends while the proceed- ings in the case were being conducted in Court. As on the previous day, the extended array of legal talent employed on both sides put in an appearance, embracing David Dudley Field, ex- Judge Fullerton, Henry 8. Knox and Mr. Root for the plaintiff, and ex-Judge Pierrepont and Mr. Strahan for the defendant. It came up on a motion on behalf of plaintiff to vacate an order of the Court staying an examination of the defendant under a previous order until a motion could be heard on next Wednesday to vacate such original order, Mr. Field, in making the motion, claimed that they were entitled, under the practice, to the ex- amination of the defendant, in order to obtain the facts necessary for them to form their complaint. He stated that two suits had been commenced against the defendant, an order of arrest having been obtained in one, and in the other the summons above having been served. The order now stayed was obtained in order to supply plaintif® with the in- formation necessary to prove his complaint in the second action. Mr. Strahan opposed the motion on behalf of the defendant. The afidavits of plaintiff in the second suit, he claimed, showed upon their face that the basis of the complaint was the alleged obtaining from plaintiff of stocks and property under fraudu- lent representations, and he insisted that if such representations were made they must necessarily be within the knowledge of the plaintiff, and, con- stituting as they did, all that was necessary to allege in the complaint, no further information could be necessary to plaintia to enable him to frame his complaint. This fact appearing broadly on the face of plaintiffs afidavit, it was, he urged, clearly proper that the stay should be continued until next Wednesday, when a formal motion comes up to set aside the original order directing the examination to be made, The op- osing counsel was clearly trying to deceive the Vourt. Mr. Field denied that he was attempting to de- ceive the Court, and, passing this imputation by as. unworthy of notice, stated that the defendant, though representing himself as a man of largo wealth, got from Mr. Gould half a million dollars’ worth of stocks and securities to be applied to COT vite enecitic purposes, and that he did not use the property tu" «sch purpe The question was what disposition he had mune of tnis property. He claimed to have $30,000,000 worth or Brie Railway stocks and securities in his trunk. The present auit was an action for damages. On the allegation that the property obtained from the plaintiff had been improperly MEL ep of, the plaintif, he claimed, under this examination would have a right to know what disposition had been made of the roperty—whether he still held it in his possession or jad transferred it to other parties, and, if 80 trans- ferred, to whom the transfer had been made. Ho referred to the decision in the case of Havemeyer vs. Ingersoll as a precedent, proving their view of the case on the joint of a general examination. Ho asked the examination at once; their rights were clear, The postponement sought for was for no good end, and only tended to embarrass the parties, Judge Brady said it was clear to him that plaintitt ‘was not entitled bts J such wide range of exami- nation asasked. The plaintiff's own affidavit showed the grounds of his action the obtaining of propert: on alleged false and fraudulent representations. If the plaintiff parted with his property on such repre- sentations they must necessarily be within his knowledge, and therefore he could need no further information in order to prove his complaint. After @ careful examination ofall the papers in the case he deemed it his duty to deny this motion and con- tinue the stay until a motion to vacate the original order can be made on next Wednesday. Vacated A sments. About twenty motions were on the calendar yesterday for writs of mandamus against the Comptroller for failure to comply with the orders of the Courts in the matter of vacating certain assess- ments.

Some time after, on applying for payment of the coupons, the same was refused. The present suit was brought for the whgle amount, it being claimed that when the intérest was not paid the principal was due, The facts stated were admitted by the defendant, butit was claimed that the bonds Were not due until 1888, and that they contained no clause by which the principal could be set up as due; also that the mortgage which the bonds could be foreclosed contained a clause that no creditor — could be preferred to others; that a@ failure to pay the-coupons did not make compulsory pay- ment of the principal, and that no action of fore- closure could be brought without the consent of a majority of the bondholders, The Court directed a verdict for the plaintiff for $16,131 88 in gold, sub- Ject to decisian upon the exceptions to be carried to General Term, SUPERIOR COURT—SPECIAL TERM. pha, Xe, under the provisions of salute, ny cymsidera.

Mr. Charler, Blandy, of counsel for the plaintiff, showed that ¢ne Robert White Butler, as manager of the itm Square Theatre, had engaged Miss Avuie Adams in England, in June last, te, perform at the aforesaid Theatre (com- “mencing at first opening, in Sep- tember last) for twenty-six weeks certain, at a weekly salary of £35, gold, English money, and had agreed to prepay first class fares and clear the bagg: for two persons from London to New York. Miss Adams had only performed fourteen weeks under that contract, having been paid in full for ten weeks only, leaving the balance, $389 63, on the succeeding four weeks’ salary still due, when, the contract pede J been broken on the part of the de- fendant, Miss Adams ceased to perform any longer under it. The case lasted three hours and was then adjourned till yesterday, but in the meantime ‘was settled by the parties in litigation on Thursday. COURT OF GENERAL SESSIONS. An Alleged Bigamist Discharged, Before City Judge Gunning 8. Bedford. Terrence Farley, who early in the week pleaded guilty to bigamy, stating that he committed the act when intoxicated, was placed at the bar. Judge Bedford said—I have thought a great deal about your case, and have talked the matter over with District Attorney Sullivan,, I have come to the conclusion, for the sake of your three little chil- dren, not to send you to the State Prison, with the distinct Tate ene however, that you are to fall your promise strictly and literally; that you are to be kind to your wife and children, and that you will never touch intoxicating liquor again, If pont wife makes any complaint against you, show- Ing that you have abused the generosity of the Dis- trict Ae, I shall certainly send you to the State Prison for five years, but so long as you be- have yourself you will not be molested, A Bold Larceny by a Bad Bowery Boy. John Tully, a youth, was tried and convicted of grand larceny. The testimony showed that on the night of the 31st of January, about nine o'clock, the prisoner and a confederate approached the window of Louls Tobias’ jewelry store, No. 170 Bowery, and that as soon as his ‘pall’ threw a large stone and broke a pane of glass Tully thrust his hand in and stole $300 worth of property. They were pursued by Mr. Tobias and a boy named Hugo Zindig, who was standing at the next window and positively identified Tully, but the thieves eluded their pur- suers, The prisoner was arrested four days after, A number of Bowery boys were called to estab- lsh an alibt, all of them stoutly swearing that on the night of the larceny Tully was in Tony Pastor’s Opera House from eight till ten o'clock. But the uy, rendered a verdict of Fellty, and the officer having informed the Judge that he saw Tully in the Bowery between elght and nine o’clock that night and that he had been arrested three times, His Honor sent him to the State prison for three years and six months, remarking that all the boys who were on the stand were young rufllans. An Assault Upon a Little Girl. James Whalen, who was indicted for assaulting Annie Bradley on the 13th of January with intent to violate her person, pleaded guilty to assault and battery, that being the only offence that could be sustained by the evidence. The sentence was one year’s lmprisonment in the Penitentiary. BROOKLYN COURTS. SUPREME COURT—CIRCUIT. Tho Westficld Verdicts for Damages Ac- cumalating. Before Justice Pratt.

The jury retired to deliberate on Thursday evening and brought in a sealed verdict for the widowed plaintiff yesterday morning awarding Gainages in the fuil amount claimed, Before the trial it had been agreed that the verdict in this case should govern the suits brought by Madam Allman, the mother of Mrs. Cheneviere, for the same amount, for the death of her husband, eccasioned by the same explosion, so that two verdicts of $5,000 each were rendered against the company.

ALLEGED BLACKMAILING OF A CLERGYMAN The Case of Emma Couch—Motion to ‘Withdraw Her Plea of Not Guilty Granted by Judge Bedford. Yesterday, in the General Sessions, Messrs, H. L. Clinton and E. Delafield Smith made an earnest and successful effort to permit Emma Couch, who has been indicted charged with conspiracy in writing blackmailing letters to a clergyman of the Pro- testant Episcopal Church in this city (the Rey. Dr, Carter), to withdraw her plea of not guilty, THE FACTS IN THE CASE. It will be remembered that the accused was ar- raigned a week ago, having been brought into Court on abench warrant, and pleaded not guilty to the Indictment charging her with endeavoring to extort money from Dr. Carter on the ground of al- leged criminal intimacy between them, Mr. Clinton moved for leave to withdraw the plea of not guilty tendered by the defendant in the ab- sence of her counsel, in order that they might move to quash the indictment, they believing that no of- fence had been committed by her within the statute. Mr. Smith said that when the case was up before the committing magistrate he understood that the further, TIFF BETWEEN COUN! Mr. Sullivan informed the Court that he did not wish to offensively contradict the counsel, but he wished it to be distinctly understood that no stipu- lation or agreement or promise was entered into by him to refrain from prosecuting the case. The counsel made an earnest appeal to the Police Justice to permit the prisoner to go home with her father, he (the counsel) stating that Emma’s father came from the country to endeavor to save from ruin his fallen daughter, She was permitted to go upon her own recognizance, under the belief that she would withdraw from that life which her counsel said was one of shame. But shortly after- wards @ statement made by the defendant appeared in a well-known newspaper, reiterating the charges made against the clergyman, who then felt it to be his duty to appeal to the law and have the case prosecuted, so that his character might be vindi- Eset — the foul and slanderous accusations of ¢ girl. Mr. Clinton responded at length, stating that the indictment covered 170 pages, and would require a day or two to read it through. In the course of the speeches of both counsel they called attention to the fact that Dr. Carter had never yet denied under oath the main charge preferred against him. Mr. Sullivan replied by saying that the learned gentlemen might not trouble themselves about that, for when the trial took place the prosecutor would solemnly swear that the charges made by the de- fendant were eb unfounded and false. Other POM Shag beside Dr. Carter were made the vic- ims 0} DESIGNING BLACKMATLERS, and without passing a judgment upon. the facts in this case, he, as the Assistant District Attorney for the people, desired to have the case tried and dis- posed of without farther delay. JUDGE BEDFORD'S REMARKS. Judge Bedford said :—1 the motion now before me rests in the sound and honest discretion of the Court. If I remember cor- vane Emma Couch was brought here by virtue of a bench warrant, and consequently wholly unawares, At the time that she was arraigned she was without counsel, and put in a plea of not guilty. The coun- sel now representing her inform me that if they had been ae they would not have put in a plea of not guilty, but they would have moved to quash the indictment. I THINK §T BUT PROPER, right and just under the circumstances to allow the plea to be withdrawn, and for the Court to enter- tain the motion to quash the indictment; which motion, if overruled, the ¢rial Copel Day'yeo at once, which motion, if granted, the District Attorney can reindict. Therefore, gentlemen, you will agree upon some day for thie motion to be argued; and, as is represented by the counsel for the accused, the indictment covers 170 pages, which will require several days for preparation, lsuggest that it go over for the term so as to have it fully argued, Mr. Sullivan said that he required no further ex- tension of time, but was ready to maintain the in- dictment at any moment, Mr. Clinton said that it would require a horse ad cart to bring the indictment into Court, aud that he could not possibly be ready this term, ARRAIGNMENT OF THE PRISONER, The prisoner Emma Couch was then arraigned at the bar. When she made her exit from the prison box and walked toward the bar the eyed of a Grgwded court sogw Were xed upoy her, Miss yonng woman was discharged upon her own recog. | nizance, and that the case would not be pursued | he granting or denying of | Couch is not remarkably beautiful, but possesses such a di of refinement of temperament, com- bined wit taste in the selection of apparel, a8 to make her an object of attraction. 4, Her counsel Ere not guilty, and after Con jor. ring with them for a few moments the OM cer re- moved her to the dock. A formal applijation was made for bail, but His Honor was "ot asked to Ax the amount at that Cail Judge Bedford intimated that as the counsel had heretofore conferred with District Attorney Garvin in reference to bail, he being ill at present, it would be well to postpone the matter until he could be seen. The curtain then dropped upon the first act of the comedy in which the clergyman and the fair Emma figure so prominently. THE JACK GLASS HOMICIDE. Statement of the Accused—Able Argument of Counsel for the Defence—Judge Bed- ford’s Charge to the Jury—Costcllo Ac- quitted and Discharged. ‘The trial of James Costello, indicted for the mur- der of Jack Glass at an eating saloon in Nassau street, on the 2ist January last, held before City Judge Gunning 8. Bedford, at General Sessions, yesterday, resulted in the acquittal of the accused, James Costello. The circumstances connected with the killing were fully detailed at the time, and created considerable interest among the class to which the deceased belonged. The court room yes- terday was crowded during the trial by the friends of the man on trial and of the deceased, but no other expression of feeling or interest was mani- fested beyond the natural manifestation of con- gratulation on the part of Costello’s friends at his acquittal, THE TESTIMONY. Dr. Vandewater was the first witness called by Assistant District Attorney Sullivan. He testified that he was at the Centre Street Hospital on the morning of the 22d of January when Glass was brought there; that he found wounds on the nose, the wrist, the neck and legs—fourteen in all— which could have been inflicted by the large carv- ing knife exhibited to him. He could not say which wound was the immediate cause of death, but the wounds inflicted superinduced pyemla and menin- ‘itis, which occasioned Glass’ death on the 12th of February. The deceased was a tall, muscular and broad shouldered man. The District Attorney offered the ante-mortem examination of the deceased in evidence, but it was objected to by Mr. W. F. Howe, counsel for the accused, on the ground that, although Glass was in extremis at the time he made the statement, it was inadmissible as testimony because Glass was an ex-convict. The Court sustained the objection. THE DEFENCE. Mr. Howe, in addressing the jury for the defence, depicted in earnest language the aggravating posl- tion in which Costello was placed by the insults ad- dressed to him by the deceased Glass. He con- tended that the accused only acted in self-defence when he struck the deceased with the carving knife, which he was then using to cut meat for customers whom he was serving. TESTIMONY FOR THE DEFENOR, Mr. Howe than called James Loftus, a deputy sheritf, to prove that Glass was convicted of murder and that he was a dangerous character. ‘This deputy sheriff, however, said he did not think Glass was a bad man, that he was not positive that he had been present at the trial of Glass for murder, for he was very young then, and it was a number of years ago. He (witness) was jointly indicted with Glass about fifteen years ago; there were five of us indicted for murder, and three were “sent up” out of the five. Fenton McElroy, the keeper of a restaurant in Nassau street, testified that the prisoner had been in his employ nine years, and was a quiet and in- offensive young man; that he had given Costeilo orders to permit no person to go into the kitchen, and that on previous occasions Glass made disturb- ance in his place, THE PRISONER'S STATEMENT. James Costello, the accused, then went upon the stand and gave his version of the affair. He told how Glass came in at midnight and passed into the kitchen, and that when ordered to leave that apart- ment he became very abusive and used most pro- voking and insulting language to defendant, The defendant appealed to an officer who was in the saloon to put Glass ont, but he refused to do so, whereupon the deceased became more abusive than before. When the deceased called his mother a most opprobrious name he asked Glass if he called her that, and upon his repeating it, accom- panied with a kick, Costello struck him on the wrist with a carving knife which he was using at the time. Glass seized a heavy chair and raised it over Costello’s head, and while he followed him up he (the prisoner) sttuck at him with the knife to keep him away, and finally got into the street and oobi himself up to a policeman. He knew Glass to have a notorious pereatlen, and only wanted to keep him away, and did not desire to hurt him, In reply to a'question put by the District Attor- ney, Costello said he used the knife on Glass because he wanted to resent the tnsult to his mother. Counsel on either side briefly summed the case up to the jury, Mr. Howe contending that Costello was justified in what he did, while District Attorney Sul- ivan contended that the testimony showed the act‘ of Costello was unlawful and that he should be con- victed of manslaughver in the third degree, JUDGE BEDFORD'S CHARGE. Judge Bedford gave an impartial and succinct statement ef the evidence to the jury and the law applicable to it. He said that if the jury be- lieved from the testimony that at the time the accused used the knife he believed his life was in jeopardy and believing himself to be in danger of great bodily harm he inflicted the wounds, and the circumstances justified him in so doing, they ought to render a verdict of acquittal, ACQUITTED. The jury deliberated for half an hour and returned to the court room with a verdict of not guiity. Cos- tello was discharged and left the Court in company with friends, who congratulated him upon the favorable and speedy termination of the trial. HOW THEY DO IT NOW. How the Proceeds of Brooklyn Burgla- ries are Expressed to New York. For some weeks past the attention of the officers whose post of duty is on the Brooklyn side of the ferries have noticed that a wagon, upon which was painted “Baldwin’s Express, No. 3 Peck slip,” driven by a young fellow about twenty-two years old, wearing a soldier’s blue overcoat, has been in the habit of crossing over to Brooklyn at a very early hour in the morning, taking as a load going and returning two barrels. This circumstance attracted the more attention because of the fact that a burglarg had been committed upon a tailor’s shop in Fulton avenue and another on a place in Oxford street during the sojourn, it was believed, of the mysterious express wagon in the city, In the case of the former burglary about six hundred dollars worth of cloth was put into sacks, but the robbers were frightened off before they could get out their booty, Yesterday morning Patrolman Quinn, of the Fifth Pahoa while on duty at the Roosevelt street ferry, E. D., between six and seven o'clock, had his attention called to the “Baldwin express’? wagon and the inevitable “two barrels,”’ tle stopped the vehicle, looked in the barrels, which were empty, and under the driver's seat, where was secreted a sack containing eighty pairs of shoes and boots. The wagon, cargo and driver were taken to the station house, and later in the forenoon the pris- oner, who is held on suspicion, was taken by Captain Wogiam to the ofice of Chief of Police Campbell, where he was closely questioned as to what he knew. about the property found in his possession. The prisonor stood the questioning like a soldier, never once acknowledging Caged that was likely to tend to criminate himself, though “hard pressed” by the Chief, and admonished not to attempt to tell a lie unless he wished to take the full brunt of the consequences after. The prisoner stated that his name was John Bald- win, Jr.; that he drove the express wagon for his father, who had owned the vehicle for two years. He left his home, in New York, at quarter past five A. M., to get some bottles from a man who lived in a Street in Brooklyn, between the Bridge street and Fulton ferries, and cart them to the residence of one Anderson, in Myrtle avenue, near Broadway. He discharged his load as directed to do by a Mr. Buth and was driving down Myrtle avenue, near Franklyn, when he was suddenly hailed by two men, wlio Stepped out from behind a fence and asked him to carry a bundle to No, 112 Centre street, New York, where a man would re- ceive it and pay him. The men then went off. The Chief inquired, “What do you unharness your horse forin Myrtle avenue?’ “The expressman dented having done so, but admitted that two men from the Fish Market came over with him, then walked back. “Look out now or you'll walk to the County Jatl, young man, if vou don’t tell the truth.” “Were you not over in Oxford street last week ?” “No, sir.” The prisoner would acknowledge nothing, and was sont to jail, Subsequently the property found in the wagon was identified as having been stolen from the store of James Regan, No. 459 Myrtle avenue, which was burglariously entered and robbed hes ‘weg worth of shoes aad boots on the preceding night. Thirty-fhwe cases of Aclinquent officers were tried before the Commissioners yesterday. The only one of any importance among them was a charge brought by # colored man named Frisbie against officers gto and Cormick, of the Twentieth precinct. Frisbie stated that on the night of the 28th ult. a number of colored people were giving aball at the Continental Hall, on the corner of Thirty-fourth street and Fighth avenne, when these policemen gained admission to the building by representing themselves to be members of the press, They were accompanied by a dry goods clerk, who alo played the réle of journalist. The party conducted them- selves so badly in the ballroom that the people were obliged to ask them to leave; but, instead of going when be ig they created a row and ended by arresting Frisbie and another man, wo were discharged from custody by the presiding Was referred to the Board, Magistrate the following morning. The matter — SS COLOPcp) METHODIST CONFERENCE, The Brethren Cautioned Against the Rev. Mr. Butler—Charge Against a White Congregation. The New York African Methodist Conference, which met yesterday morning in Zion Church, at West Tenth and Bleecker streets, was attended by about thirty colored clergymen. There was also a e congregation present. Bishop Clinton pre- sided, The Bishop made some interesting remarks in reference tothe manner in which white bishops and clergy of the Methodist Episcopal Church have endeavored to induce them (their colored brethren) to join with them. ‘he Bishop then called upon the Rev. Mr. Cliff for his excuse for having disappointed a congregation to which he had been duly assigned to preach. Mr. Clif admitted that he failed to keep the engage- ment, but said that the night being very rainy, and his shoes entirely too thin, he feared to Venture out lest he might imperil his health. A long and ani- mated discussion followed, which terminated in the Conference good-naturedly accepting the explana- tion. 2 ko ody 5 Th Rev. Mr. Thomas proposed the following reso- ution :— Whereas the property known as the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church of Newark, and owned by that 4o- ciety, has gone into the hands ‘of the white Methodist Episcopal Church, and we consider the way in which the said church came into their possession untair and un christlaniike in a great religious body; Resolved, That they have no legal, oral or Christian right to the same, and that the Conference take the neces- sary steps to have the matter thoroughly Investigated aud publish to the world the irregularity of the sald Church. An excited discuasion followed. It appears from the remarks made that the colored people of New- ark raised a considerable sum to build the church in Ct and when partially completed it was vested in the African Zion Church, but was seized by the Sheriff for a debt of $800, and then passed into the hands of Dr. W. A. Lord, who vested it in the hands of the Central Methodist Episcopal Church, The colored people claim that the church ‘was worth $10,000 when seized for the small debt of $800; the speakers believed that advantage had been taken of the ignorance of the colored people. After a lively discussion the resolution was passed, and after the transaction of some further business the Conference adjourned, “MARRIAGES AND DEATHS. | Married.
