Heber Newton in Anthon Memortal First Missionary Convention in Japan— American Protestant Churches to Act in Unison—Harmony of Clerical Views— Tran: tion of Religious Works Into Japanese—Methodist Episcopal Mis- sions. The first Missionary Convention that ever con- vened in the far East assembled in Yokohama, Japan, towards the close of last September. It ‘was composed entirely of American clergymen, who met for the purpose of considering several important subjects relative to the Christianizing ofthe natives of that country, Matters have so completely changed in Japan during the past two or three years that high hopes are entertained of Making great progress in the immediate future. Persecution is no longer carried on against native converts, and the missionaries are permitted to print and circulate Bibles and other religious works inthe Empire. Less than three years ago the Minister for Foreign Affairs announced that the Profession of Christianity was prohibited under Penalty of death, and in January, 1870, over three thousand native converts were deported by the Governor of Nagasaki, by orders from the supreme government, to distant islands, to “live in forests and work in mines.’ These people were not guilty of any other or further offence than that of becom- ing Christians, The women, whether married or single, were sent to houses of public resort, and the children 86 distributed as to secure their being Strictly educated in the Sintoo faith. But, hap- pily, all this is changed, and the missionaries have Tegolved to act in co-operation under the liberal and tolerant laws recently introduced into Japan. MINISTERS IN ATTENDANCE. The Convention was attended by fifteen clergy- men and eleven ladies connected with the missions, ‘The Presbyterian Board was represented by Revs. Messrs. D. Thompson, ©. Caruthers, H.-Loomis and E.R. Miller and I, C, Hepburn, M.D. The Re- formed Board, by Revs, Messrs. 8. R. Brown, I. H. Ballas ith H. Wolff and H. Stout. The American Boar ts y Revs, Messrs. J. D, Davis, D.C, Greene, M. L, Gordon and 0, H. Gulick, and I. E, Berry, M.D. Rev. E. W. Syle, Consular Chaplain at Yoko- hama, and Rev. Robert Nelson, of the Episcopal Mission, were also present. The Convention mainly devoted its attention to fixing upon some plan for the translation of the Scriptures into Japanese and to further the production of Christian literature and to agree upon some name and form of organiza- tion of native churches, so as to avoid the embar- rasament arising from those differences which mar #0 much the progress of missionary work in Pagan countries. e [eee were quite harmoni- ous and resulted in a satisfactory manner, WORKS IN JAPANESE LANGUAGE. The firat object Was accomplished by the appoint- ‘ment of a Scriptural translating committee, com- ed of A Member from each mission.

NAMK AND ORGANIZATION OF CHURCHES, The education of a native ministry was con. sidered of the highest importance, and tu refer. ence to the uniiormity of name the Convention came to the following resolution : hereaa the Church of Christ is one in Him, and the divisions of denominations among Protestants are but acci- dents which, though not affecting the vital unity of believers, do obscure the oneness of the Church in Christ, and much more in Pagan lands, where the bistory of the divisions cannot be understood; and whereas we, as Protestant missionaries, de- sire to secure uniformity in our modes and methods 80 43 to avoid, as far as possible, evils arising from marked differences; we therefore take the earliest opportunity offered by this Convention to agree that we wiil tive our influence to secure, a3 far as possible, identity of name and organization in the | native churches in the formation of which we are called to assist, and the organization being that wherein the government of each church shall be by the ministry and eldership of the same, witn the concurrence of the brethren.’ The few latter words were added at the suggestion of Rey. Mr. Nelson, of the Episcopal mission. Provision was also made for an organized medical mission tor the purpose of conducting medical practice in conjunc. | tion with the interests of the churches, METHODIST EPISCOPAL MISSION ARU: The action of this Conyention, composed ex- clusively of Americans, has created high hopes for the future of Japan. The extinction of diferences of names in churches, it is expected, will have the happiest effects among the natives, who will be no Jonger troubled with questions they cannot pos- sibly understand. So far the printing of the Scriptures has been a private venture, put it is understood the matter will be taken up at once | am the missionary societies at home. The General ission Committee of the Methodist Hpiscopal | Church, which held its sessions in New Yor& last week, have appointed Rey. Dr. R. J. Maclay, who has roany 7e0ee| experience in China, to proceed to Japan and take charge of their missions there, Hi will be accompanied by three other clergymen, all the arrangements in reference to his new fe) of duty mean immediate and wisely-directed work. The Jew Once More. To THE Eprtok oF THE HERALD:— I premise thata repetition of this oft-mooted sub- ject may inevitably prove distasteful to the Chris- tian world, and yet there is that in the very sig- nificance of the word, hallowed as it is by such venerable asseciations of antiquity, which should give us a hearing at the tribunal of Christian opin- jon, and by that perseverance and individuality which the Jew has preserved intact for so many centuries, should we, at least, claim some respect and consideration. It is well to prate a civiliza- tion and the progress of the time, and to say that only an ignorant, illiterate bigot will insult the | feelings of a fellow man on the score of difference in | religious opinion. But the press, as tle educator ofthe masses, should in a greater measure pro- tect the interests of an inoffensive and useful class by @ countenance and moral support that can be atforded it in a variety of ways, and which willin time destroy and overcome the sectarian bias which now permeates and seemingly imbues the conduct of many pretentious journals. I specially allude herein to the conduct of a certain regiment in the National Guard of this city, to one ot whose companies an Israelite was recently pro- | posed for membersnip. His character was found good. His qualifications to serve the State as a soldier were found correct, and he was duly elected and installed, But mark the result. Some thin- skinned bigot discovers the fact that the new re- cruit isa Jew. ‘Iwas awkward—but the Jew was stillin the awkward squad—and the Captain, in obedience to an existing law of the company, politely requested the ‘‘obnoxions” Jew to resign, giving as his only reason for making the request that “the company had alaw whereby it was im- Possibiv for a Jew to become a member." Now, Mr. Editor, I prefer to place this statement before your readers without comment, I would only ask whether this action is in accordance with the spirit of the constitution ef the country or State? whether we aro respiring the glorious air of liberty, or whether the inquisition of Torque- mada ts to be revived? The country will soon cele- brate the centennial anniversary of the indepen- dence of our beloved land. Anthems will peal out to high heaven, and the national lips will invoke the favor of Providence upon the luturity of free America, Is the Jew to stand aside with folued gaberdeen and be debarred and ostracised from that freedom which, through so many ages, he has been denied, and whtch he fondly imagines he has here attained, only to be told, “Lake up thy march, thou ac- cursed?’ Oh, it 18 a strange, inexplicable sight, a very anomaly, to see the Ghetto walls over- America, Favors we crave non descension. We simply demand, in the sacred name of humanity and ‘civilization, that we be ac- corded simple justice. A JEW. we ask not con- Donations for Missionary Purposes. To Tue ADITOR OF THE HERALD:— I noticed an editorial in your issue of November 18, entitled “Methodist Missionary Appropria- tions," in which you say that the Methodist Church raised the largest amount of money for missionary purposes last year of any in the country, namely, $629,921 for home and foreign missions. Will you please to state in your next issue that the Presbyterian Church in the United States also did what it could, The members of this Church gave last year for home missions, $419,383; for foreign missions, $345,870; for church erection (that is, assisting feeble bands in the West to build churches), },606; for mis- sions among the freedmen, $46,685; for sustenta- tion (which is really a missionary enterprise), $41,073, making an saareuste Ot $1,031,707. ‘This 1a for what may strictly be called missionary purposes, Besides this the Presbyterian Church in the United States raised last year for the support of the Gospel and for benevolent work, $9,054,819, making @ total sum of $10,086,526, Yours, &¢., x, Catholicism vs. Protestantism, To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD :— Voltaire, Tom Paine, and their host of infidel followers warred against the Catholic Church as their uncompromising and unrelenting foe. They never warred against any other religious denom- ination, either from the fact that they believed they had nothing to fear from the fragmentory and discordant elements of Protestantism, or that they felt conscious that Christianity, which it was their aim to destroy, was only to be found in the solid foundations of the Catholic church, An admirer of those enemies of God and man— Voltaire & Co.—writing over the signature of “A Protestant’ in last Sunday’s HeRaup, labors to convince his readers that his Catholic fellow-citi- zens are a pack of unmitigated scoundrels, not to be trusted; that they are enemies of liberty, so- ciety and their country—insinuating that they only want numerical strength to cut the throats of every Protestant in the land, upset the government and smash everything generally. To carry out this charitable and Chris- tian idea he calls to aid a number of exploded slanders against the Church which have been so often refuted that no Intelligent Protestant would use them in argument. He also produces some new ones to warn Protestants of their danger. He tells us that a Catholic paper—Tne Shepherd of the Valley—published some years ago (he don’t say where), prophecied that if Catholics ever gained immense numerical majority religious freedom would be at an end, It is needless to say, if such @ newspaper ever existed and published so con- temptibie a slander, it was not a Catnolic paper. The name sounds more of the Shepherd sti gins? school, Again, he quotes the famous Know Nothing handie so popular some years ago, that Lafayette prophected that ‘if every the liberties of the United States were destroyed it would be by Romish priests, for- getting that this slander gn the memory of the ‘eat hero was ventilated at the time by Archbishop Jughes, when it was found that the lines did not originate with Lafayette, but were merely quoted by him for the purpose of refuting, Fearing that Protestants might be dull or backward in hating their Catholic neighbors, “A Protestant" drags in that great stand-by of all bigots, the massacre of St, Bartholomew, asserting that it was sanctioned by the Catholic Church, From every reliable record we have of that atro- cious event, it may be gathered that it resulted from a deadly feud between two powerful political factions, one haying about as much religion as the other—same as the Irish Urangemen and Irish Rib- bonmen; but that It was ever directly or indirectly sanctioned or instigated by she Catholic Church is a slander too monstrous for any but the most ignorant bigot to believe, ‘The congratulations sent by the Pope to King Charles were not for the success of the horrible event, but for the preserva- tion of the King’s Iife, a matter of diplomatic cour- tesy to the ruler of a great and powerful nation. Huguenot and Catholic factions at the time buts chered each other wherever either were in the majority. The St, Bartholomew ousrage was insu. | not in gated bya had, irrelti woman, nominally @ Catholic, and muny of her taith who, from private bt fg rend reasons, joined the Huguenots, perished re. But if “A Protestant’ will look caimly into his- | tory le will Gnd that the massacre account has been balanced over and over again in the butchery of Catholies by Protestants at times when the lat- ter were in the ascendant, hever muke a right; but when “A Protestant” secks to lay all such acts at the door | of Catholics, itt is only just Protestants should be reminded of their The wholesale slaugiiter — of in England, Scptiand and Ireland (especially the latter) during the reigns of Elizabeth, James I., Charles L, Cromweil, Charles If, Wiliam JUL and Anne, when those sovereigns—the Popes of the Pro- testant Ghurch—and their Parliaments decided that the oniy direct means of establishing the Pro- testant faith was either by exterminating the Catholles or enacting such laws that they could not ractise their religion, should be suificfent to si- ence every Protestant on the subject of St. Ba tholomew, The fre and sword system of TSHR aaoRee dee in England and Scotland, but ireland, in Scotland was the massacre of Glencoe, when a | It is true two wrongs”) , churelt is now in a teeble condition, Prose. | ‘The last trial of the system made | whole Catholic colony of inoffensive men, women | and children were butchered in a night. On the score of religious toleration we would re- fer “A Protestant’ to the monstrous Penal laws eoacted against Catholics in the reigns above re- ferred to, aud which were only reiaxed at the close _ of our war with England; we would also refer him to Sweden, Norway and Denmark at this present time, where there is little or, in fact, no toleration for Catholics, We refer him to the recent acts of Protestant Prussia and Switzerland in expelling priests, imprisoning, bishops, seizing their prop- erty, and depriving Catholics of the means of prac- Using their religion, without the shadow or show of cause, And Bay we refer him to an able article in last Sunday's Heranp on the Presby- terian Chureh in America, in which appears the following trathiul paragraph :— Itisa remarkable fact, however, that Presbyterians persecuted by Episcopalians in Virginia, and. Bpisco: paltans and others p “ and protection iu the Catholic colony of Maryland, where religious liberty was first established and practically cac- ried out in América, To blacken the character of his Catholic neigh- | bors still further he attempts to make them out ; disloyal, because they are not seen, he says, in processions on Washington's birthday. Now, it “A Protestant’ knows anything, he must know there is good reason for Catholes not joining in those processions, They were first instituted dur- ing the height of the Know Nothing furor, and monopolized almost exclusively by the secret Order of United Americuns, who proseribed Cath. olics, and in ail probability would not have allowed them, even were they so wanting in self-respect as. to march in processions where every other banner was an insult to their religion. To make those Washington birthday parades unmistakably antt- Catholic they were jomed by the Irish Orangemen, under the misnomer of the American Pro- testant Association, This patriotic body, scarcely one of whom are American citizens, cared about as much for the memory of Washington as they did | for the Pope; but being excelient haters of the Catholic Chure made the air resound with their faction tunes of “The Protestant Boys" and ‘Croppies, Lie Down," while their Orange regalia and no-Popery banners impressed one with the idea that the Father of His Country was a con- firmed bigot. Under such circum 3 it was not surprising that Catholic citizens gave Washington Birthdays parade the cold snoulder, But it is not in empty show “A Protestant’ must look for Catholic loyalty; he must seek it on the battlefields of Mexico and in our late war, when | Catholics poured out their life's blood side by side with their Protestant fellow soldiers, There was no shrinking in the day of trial. Regt- ment after regiment of Irish Catholics, as well as other nationalities, marched to the front, and there sustained the glory of our “arms, lowed by the devoted priest, who, amid carnage and slaughter, consoled the last moments | of many a brave heart. were the Catholic Sisters Mercy in the camp and in the hos- pital. This was true loyalty, loyalty to God, their country and their fellow man—of far more ac- count than any fife and drum demonstration. When “A Protestant’ questions the loyalty of his Catholic fellow citizens he should remember how large a proportion are natives, to the manner born; how many native born priests, bishops and arch- bishops there are, and the number of American converts that are daily received into™ the Church, not one of whom will yield in loyalty to the best Protestant that ever lived. Obedience to the laws and loyalty to the government under which we live are the teachings of the Catholic Church. It also teaches not to break the eighth command- ment, a fact which “A Protestant’ would do well to note and practice. A CATHOLIC, Equally devoted of Charity and Natural and Spiritual Christianity. To THE Epitor or THE HERALD :— The apostle Paul uttered a great truth when he said, That is first which is natural, aiterward that which is spiritual, and as we have borne tne image of the earthiy, so also shall we bear the image of the heavenly, Christ was a prophecy of the man of the future. He was the man of the fu- ture—the restored man of the future, living in Divine order, moving in the currents of the Divine affections, He lived on the higher plane of exist- ence; while the Jews spoke of God as their father, | Parrot like, he called God: His father from an in- | terior conscious experience. | mature and spirit were disclosed to His gaze; He The hidden forces of saw in the lily of the fleld, the sparrow, and the hen and her brood, the tender, watchful, loving care of the All Father who is tn the perpetual en- deavor to restore and save all who will receive that love into their hearts and lives. reason why he was not understood by the Jews, He was to them anenigma; while men looked at things only on the exterior, He looked at the interior of all things, The seeming righteous Pharisees, the keepers of the law in its letter, were to him whited sepulchres, full. of dead men's bones, because they were devold of any spiritual prin- ciple. He called things by their right names; he exposed the shams, deceits and nypocricies of the times, consequently he excited the hate and con- tempt of those in authority. That Christ was not understood, even by his disciples and immediate followers, I think must be apparent to every stu- dent of the New Testament. And why? Because the interior degree of their minds were closed. They lived and acted from a spiritual principle, it is true, and were accepted of Him; but the open- ing of the interior bs go of the spirit were re- served for the man of the then future age, That the apostles did not understand the true nature and mission of Christ, read their history in the Acts of the Aposties and in their Epistles. See their nerrow-mindedness in thiaking that the new king- dom was to be confined to the Jewish nation. Not their surprise when the gift of the Holy Ghost was bestowed upon the Gentiles. They had to receive the truth little by little that God is the universal Father and Christ the divine humanity, Humanity without the spirit of Christ is the man possessed of alegion of devils, the man out of whom Christ cast the legion of devils. Clothed and in his right mind, te at the feet of Jesus, is humanity re- stored to divine order. We do not blame the Apostles for their narrow-mindedness, nor do we find fault with them for not grasping the great truths uttered by the greatest of all teachers. It was the fault of the times they lived in. Our ob- ject is to show that the revelation of truth and its reception is gradual. Christ himself told His disci- ples that He had many things to tell them, but they could not hear them now; but the time would come when He would show them plainly of the Father. That time we hold is now beginning to come. We are now in the day dawn of that time— the morning of a new age is upon us. But who shall abide its coming? Who shall be able to bear the splendors of its noonday glory They, only they, who are seeking the living Christ, the risen Lord; not they who go to the sepulchre of the dead past to find Him. Ile is not there. ‘The angels said, ‘He is risen,” and humanity must rise with im if they would obtain their highest destiny, their chiefest good—restoration to divine order, That the human mind is being more un- folded I think must be apparent to oer, one. Look at the rapid advances being made in the knowledge of the sciences. The hidden torces and secrets of tne natural world, which for ages have been sealed and locked up, are being exposed to man’s wondrous pre The system of astronomy, the circulation of the blood, the motion of the earth and many other things too numerous to men- tion are all better understood now than when they were first made known—in fact, they are simple truths, taught to every boy and girl at school, But they were great truths when first made known. Great minds are prepared for the reception of great truths, else the masses would make no advancement. The Lord works from centres to circumferences, We find it is a universal divine law in all things, even to the most minute atom of matter. So they who make the Lord the centre of their lives—who scek him in heart earnestness ~He works in them from their centre (their will youcple) to the circum- ferences of their whole being, revealing to them the mysteries of His Lat wl giving to them, day by day, their daily bread, the truth they need and are able to ultimate in daily life. As the natural ee of the mind are being opened to an extent hitherto unknown, so the degrees of the Spirit are being opened In all who are able to bear it, with increased responsibilities. In this manner Christ is coming a second time to His people; coming to abide with them forever; coming In power and great glory, giving them angels’ fool— too, in the the truths the angels know; coming clouds of the literal sense of the Divine Word; withdrawing the veil which has hitherto hidden the future world, Ve wonder upon hated] and the great truths pertaining to man’s spiritua nature, the law: oud nature a tl spituay orld, and the nature and mode of the Divine exis ence, solving the problems which have battled and divided the Church of the past. This condition is the crown of all prophecy; it is the tabernacle of God with man; it is God with us. The history of the Church of the past is the history of natural Chris- tianity. The present Churches belong to the past, and are only useful 80 far as they lead men to the reception of the spirit of the Church of the future, tor thas Js Asst WG Jd pelutal Mier wards that They were fol- | | weeklies out of the market, and ‘That is the | 4 | Spent a few days here during the week, | Sunday. which is apiritaal, and as we have borne the image of the earthly, 40 8180 shall we bear the image of the heavenly. o.

Rev. 8S. M. Isnacs on Un-Jewish Matri- monial Alllances—Terrible Defection in the House of Israel. Rey. Mr. Isaacs has been for a few Sabbaths past lecturing in Forty-fourth Street synagogue on the life and character and important events in the his- tory of Abraham. He came yesterday to the death of Sarah, the wife of Abraham, and her burial in the cave of Machpelah, {n Mamre, where also Isaac and Rebekah were buried and where Jacob depos- ited the remains of Rachel, Traditlon also makes it the burial place of Adam and Kye, and It isa place honored and reverenced to this day by the Mussulmans and Hindoos of the Kast. This should teach modern Israelites to venerate the Old Testa- ment much more than the New. But, passing from this event, Mr. Isaacs called attention to the degree of importance in which marriage was held by Abraham, After the death of Sarah he called unto him the oldest servant of His house, that ruled over all that He had, and said unto him:—‘Put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh and I will make theo swear by the Lord, the God of heaven and the God of the earth, that thou wilt not take a wife unto my son of the Canaanites, among whom [ dwell; but thou shalt go to my country and to my kindred and take a wile unto my son i{saac’—Gen, xXxiv., 2-4. Abraham might have found a wife in Canaan for his son, Many there were, no doubt, who would have veen lad to have had Isaac for a husband and Abraham for a father-in-law. But he would not make such UNHALLOWED MATRIMONIAL ALLIANCES, He would not have for his son a wife save from his own people and his own religion, Is it sonow? Alas! it is not. Israelites marry whom they will, without reference to religion or nationality. There were in old times four classes of marriages in. Jerusalem—based on _ riches, on social distinction apd position or caste and religion. Mr. Isaacs dwelt brietly on the evils resulting from some of these marriages, The ground of Isaac's marriage, he said, was Abra- ham’s belief that marriages are made in heaven. This is shown by the language which he uses to- ward his servant in sending him off in search of a wife for his son, A heathen lady, the owner of a reat many slaves, once asked a rabbi what God did in heaven to occupy His time. The minister was offended at first, at the apparent blasphemy of the question; bat he promptly answered, “Ar- ranging marriages.” “If that is all he does,? said the dame, “I can do jas much here,” and calling together a number of her slaves of both sexes, she set them of in pairs as husband and wife. In a few days compiaints came thick and fast from all sides. Innumerable bickerings and quarrels were the result of the arrangement, and the lady readily acknowledged that something more was needed than her arbitary selection of couples for marriage. This, Mr. Isuacs sald, was confirmed by his own experieoce as a min- ister. The servant of Abraham considered his er- rand so important that at every halting place on his journey he offered up a prayer to God for direc. tion and prosperity on his way. Aud when he came to the country and KINDRED OF ABRAHAM he prayed more earnestly and fixed a sign whereb; he should know the damsel that the Lord ha chosen to be the wife of Isaac. Isaac, too, spent much of his time at home in meditation and prayer. But what shall be said ot those who, in our times, TT out of their own faith? If God arranges marriages what shall be said of these? God only sanctions marriages in one faith. Other arrange- ments are onl r seli-gratification. We are now in acrisis, This isa liberal age and we are too easily led away by this liberalism. Here is Dr. Lilienthal dedicating a synagogue in Wisconsin and taking a Christian minister into the pulpit. ‘That minister prayed to the Saviour to let his bless- ing rest upon the house. Think of a Jewish syna- gogue dedicated by a prayer to the Christian's Sa- viour! We are one and must stand upon our rell- gion. We live in liberal age, but if the number of liberals were more we are conservatives, and God will not smile upon marriages or intermal riages, save with those of our own faith and ki dred, said the preacher; and as God said to Abra- ham so He says to every one of us, “Thou shalt not fae a wile from the Canaauites among Whom wo wel Mr. Isaacs cloged with A CAUTION TO HIS CONGREGATION not to fall into the liberalism of this age nor to en- ter into mixed matrimonial alliances, and followed his remarks with a prayer in the same behalf, But fainst prayers and arguments and iectures liber- alism is manitesily ‘ing its Way into the ranks of Israel, 0 that the party of reform Israelites in the United States is to-day nearly ag large and is far more (BHuenLiAl aM We comsesvatives having | 13 THE COURTS.

In the United States Circuit Court yesterdays Judge Benedict sat to hear an argument with respect to the constitutionality of the new Shipping act, which provides that any person who boards any vessel, without the permission of the master, before she reaches her port of destipation and be- fore she Is Mnaily moored, is guilty of an offence against the law. This question has arisen on @ recent conviction of two,men in this Court for an alleged infraction of the statute. Counsel for the accused maintains that there is no power in Con- 4 to deal with this matter, which, he says, ts properly within the control of the municipal authorities of the city of New York. Counsel for the government, on the other hand, holds that Congress has as much power to enact a law of this character as it has to legislate in regard to the customs and to foreigners. Judge Benedict, having heard the arguments, took the papers and reserved. his decision. His judgment will probably be given next Saturday. Hans Marten, who is an attorney-at-law or claim agent at No. 30 Varick street, appeared before Commissioner Osborn yesterday in answer to ® charge of having, contrary to the act of Congress, charged a German woman—Anna Maria Walther, of No. 120 Suffolk strect—more than twenty-five dollars for the collection of a pension and bounty to which she lays claim on account of the services of her husband in the Army of the Union, The husband is now dead. The clalm was put into the hands of Marten about six years ago, aud the wo man alleges that, though she paid him $66 50, she has not been paid any portion whatever of the amount she seeks to recover, Marten maintains that the money paid him by the woman was for his services in hunting up evidence to sustain her de- mand. The Commissioner suspended proceedings for ten days to enable Marten to write to Wash- ington and make inquiries concerning the matter. Yesterday Deputy Marshal Purvis placed Ludwig Julius August Krebs on board the steamer Main, bound for Bremen, Krebs has been sent over, in accordance with the mandate of the President, on a charge recentiy investigated before Commissioner White of having forged a bank book in Germany and then fied to this country, where he was ar- rested on board ship on his arrival in this port Quick work has been made of his extradition. An application was made yesterday before Judge Fancher, holding Supreme Court, Chambers, for the discharge of Carl Vogt. The application was made on the ground of an affirmation by the Court. of Appeals of the decision of Judge Curtis, of the Superior Court, declaring the writ of Governor Hoffman awarding his surrender to the Belgian authorities unconstitutional. Decision was reserved to allow a consultation by the District Attorney with the Belgian authorities as to whether they desired to send witnesses here to prosecute him upon an indictment for grand larceny, for stealing, as alleged, bonds and secur rities belonging to Chevalier de Bianco, whom he ts also charged with murdering, and, after the alleged murder and robbery, fleeing to this country. Before Judge Fancher at Supreme Court Chambers application was made yesterday by Mr. William F. Howe for a writ of habeas corpus in the case of Rosenzweig, to dis- charge him on bail, The application was granted, and the hearing in the case set down for to-morrow. In the case of George Wood, accused of being the proprietor of a gift enterprise on Broadway, appli- cation was made yesterday before Judge Fancher, at Supreme Court Chambers, by Mr. William FP. Howe for his discharge. It waa urged that he had been guilty of no violation of any statute. The case was made returnable to-morrow. THE BELGIAN MURDER CASE. oe Application for the Discharge of Carl Vogt on a Writ of Habeas Corpus— The Matter To Be Referred to the Bele gian Authorities. Many months have eiapsed since Carl Vogt was committed to the City Prison, His case can hardly yet have been forgotten by the public, In order to refresh the public memory itis only necessary to state that some year or more ago & Beh gian nobleman, one Chevalier de Bianco, was found murdered in hig villa in the environs of Brussels. The villa had been set on fire to conceak the murder, A further investigation showed thas some fifty thousand dollars worth of various bonds and securities belonging to the murdered man’ were missing. Suspicion pointed to Carl Vogt as the murderer, Incendiary and robber, which suspi- clon was enhanced by the fight of Vogt to this country and his subsequent alleged attempt to dis. pose of some of the stolen securities. He was ar- rested here, and, in the absence of any extradition treaty between Belgium and the United Stat could only be held on the charge of the larcen: rot the stolen securities. An indictment to this effect was found against him here, and meantime Gov- ernor Hoffman directed his surrender to the Bel- gian authorities to answer the grave charge «? murder and arson. Judge Curtis, of the rioe Court, decided that this cout cae ouperio Was Unconszituional, since ‘thie’ decwong’ aie Vogt hag remained in the City Prison. APPLICATION YOR VOGT'S DISCHARGE was made J orceny before Judge Fancher, hold. ing Eppes Court Chambers, on the ground, as urged by Mr. William F, ial his counsel, that the Court of Appeals having affirmed the decision of Judge Curtis that Governor Hoffman's writ on the Sheriff demanding the surrender of Vogt te the Belgian authorities was unconstitutional.
