10 THE STATE CAPITAL. Third Reading of Bills in the Senate—Attorney General Barlow on Dividends on Fraudu- ently Issued Erie Stock—Supplomentary Charter for the Aldermen—Temperance Men Wanting the Civil Damage Clanse—Manhattan Ship Canal Company's Bill—Payment of City Expenses. ALBANY, May 26, 1873, ‘Third reading of bills was the order of business in the Senate this evening, although there were ‘only twenty-twe Senators present, and it was dimMeult to muster up the usual con- stitutional vote on many of the bills. One of the bills passed under & pressure was that dividing the State anew into Congressional districts, Iv received twenty votes out of the twenty-two, Allen and Madden voting against it and every democrat present voting for it. The bill has yet to pass in the Assembly, where, however, it is morally sure of passing. Among the bills which failed by reason of the lack of votes was the ‘Thirty-fifth Street Railroad bill, which, however, was lald ‘away by the veconsideration process until & more con- venient season, Such was the general disposition toshirk voting, and so alarming became the num- ber of bills rejected, that Senator Woodin moved to Jay aside the order of third reading and proceed to the next order. A few moments in general erders sufficed to dispose of @ general Tax bill and the Supply bill was called up fer @ third reading. It met with unexpected obstacles, however, for Tiemann moved to recom- mit it for the purpose of inserting an appropriation for a foundling asylum in New York, which was at once rejected, and James Wood moved te reinsert the Elmira Reformatory claim of $200,000, which Produced somewhat more discussion, The motion Was lost and the bill was passed, GEORGE FRANCIS TRAIN, On the reassembling of vhe House this evening the Speaker presented a communication trem George Francis Train, criticising the action of Judge Davis in hia case. On motion of Mr. Husted the communication was referred to the Judiciary Committee. CONSTITETIONAL AMENDMENTS. A message was read from the Senate announeing the non-cencurrence of that body with the Assem- Diy amendments to the comstitutional amendments, and asking for a Conference Committee, which ‘Was ordered and appointed. ERIE RAILWAY LITIGATION. Attorney General Barlow, who was called upon by the resolution of the House for his opinion ‘Whether the dividend by the Erie Railway Com- pony. on fraudulently issuea stock could be legally paid out of the treasury of the company, and ‘Whether the company could not be re- strained from paying it, submitted areport. After stating the case as charged, he says :—‘‘Before such Bstate of facts there can be no doubt that the transaction and the issuing of the bonds and their conversion into stock was_ illegal, fraudulent and void. The statute (he says) contemplates a vona fide borrowing of money upon bonds for certain specified purposes and the clement of convertibility into stock was added QS @mere means ofincreasing the value of the bonds; but he says there is difficulty in reaching @remedy. He then proceeds to show that it would ‘Ot now be possible to discriminate which is the Btock t: and which isnot. The dimculty, he is not in the law of the case, but in the facts, ‘or, rather, in the proof of the facts, He has no hesitation in saying that the company caunot rightfully pay these dividends on such fraudiu- Jently issued stock as can be identified and traced into the hands of persons who took it with knowledge of the fraud. But the diMiculties of jason! above referred to are so great that sucha ‘Buit would be practically useless. The same difi- culty is stated to be in the way of action concern- ing the over issue of convertible bonds, and though he is of opinion that a suit would fail of any practi- cal resnits, still, he says he will cheerfully Undertake it if directed by the Legislature. He also suggests that even if this steck were can- celled the dividends would amount to the same, as there is nolaw limiting the dividends which railroad corporations are allowed to pay to any per centage on the capital stock. The company could and Would exact the same rate of fare and pay increased dividends on the diminished aggregate of stock. He closes by sayt the only remedy for such violations of the law, if it can be called a remedy; is the criminal Ty emene of the guilty officers of the railroad, and the summary proceed- ings of a forfeiture of the charter; ad it is no doubt competent for the Legislature to limit by law the scales ef fare and freight, and thus effec- pact set bounds to the amount of dividends ‘Which shall be paid on this stock. SUPPLEMENTARY CHARTER. The House went into committee on the bill to ‘amend the New York charter as to the term of office of aldermen, their number, and reguiating their proceedings; also various other govern- mental regulations. On motion of Mr. Husted the previaon restricting the inneeae ra? of policemen persons who have resided in the city one year Was stricken out. On motion of Mr. Husted the amendment transferring the powers of the Superintendent of Buildings to the Surveyor of Buildings was stricken out. Mr. Burns moved to make the salaries of Justices of the District Courts $8,000 instead of $6,000. Carried. Mr. Smith moved an amendment providing for the election of Comp- trolier of the city in 1873. Mr. R. B. Cornell hoped the amendment would not prevail. The object of it was simply to lessen the term o7 the present Comptroller one year. Mr. Smith de- fended his amendment, saying it was recommended by the Reform Association, Mr. A. B. Cornell moved to amend, 80 as to have the election take Place, if at all, in 1874. Mr. Smith accepted this amendment and then it was rejected by the House, Mr. Healey moved a provision authorizing the Corporation Counsel to appoint a marshal and designating his duties. Lost. The bill was then ordered to a third reading. TEMPERANCE ADVOCACY OF THE CIVIL DAMAGE CLAUSE.

The Fears of a Summer Epidemic En- tirely Groundless—The Gua: ‘antee of a Rigid Quarantine. with ee of Summer we have the annual rumors regarding the coming of epidemic diseases, and already vague rumors from New Orleans and the South American ports have thoroughly alarmed many of the citizens of the metropolis. To learn if any unusual causes existed for the dire anticipa- tions of coming contagion, a reporter of the HERALD visited Quarantine yesterday and had an interview with Dr, Mosher, After having stated the object of hia visit, the reporter learned the {ol- lowing tacts:— Dr. MosHieR—There is something very much like cholera in New Orleans, although it has not yet been positively decided that it is this dreadful con- tagion. A disease very similar to it has existed at Santiago de Cuba for several years past, It cer- tainly bas many of the characteristics of cholera, but does not seem to be quite malignant. There is not much reliance to be placed in the re- poses regarding an outbreak of the disease in jenna. 4 HERALD RerresENTATIVE—Do you entertain any serious fears of the disease reaching New York? Dr. MosHIER—There are no serious grounds for alarm; not so much reason as in previous years. We are watching the New Orleans steamers. We have not discovered saz indications of any eholera on the vessels from the Northern Eurepéan porte. Yet we are very watchful. Every passenger is examined on the steamers coming from the dan- esas ports along the Black and Adriatic seas. ‘ne Liverpool and Stettin steamers will be subjected to @ more rigid examination late in the season, TRE DANGERS FROM YELLOW FEVER. HERALD REPRESENTATIVE—What are the dangers from yellow fever? Dr. Mosuigr—Yellow fever has not, of course, troubled us seriously yet, as the Spring has been unusually cool. There is one case in the West Bank Hospital—Christian Luker, a Dane, from the ship Possidon, He is, however, recovering. The story of the voyage of the brig Nornen is rather curious. She sailed from Rio Janeiro on January 21 and returned to that port one month afterward, having lost her commander, Captain ar tseutte| the mate and cook, by yellow fever. She saile again in February with anew captain and again put back, her captain having died and nearly her entire crew sick with yellow fever. The Nornen sailed again with new officers and men, and ar- rived alter a forty-eight-day passage, having lost one man on the voyage. é heard of her more than one month ago and have been watching tor her ever since. She is almost a pest ship. HERALD REPRESENTATIVE—Is the fever at Rio Worse than usual this season ? Dr, MosHizR—It kas prevailed there all Winter. Three vessels have come in within a week irom that port. The brig Buccleuche, from Santos, lost her commander, Captain Williams, while in port at Rio Janeiro. The entire crew of the nelep Colliga had spe valley fever while in that port an three deaths, The brig Messer also had four men sick with the fever at Rio. It proved fatal in the case of the captain and seeond mate. THE SOUTH AMERICAN PORTS INFECTED. HERALD REPRESENTATIVE—Are there any star- tling reports from any of the other Southern ports? Dr, MoSHIER—The official bill of healt from Per- nambuco states that yellow fever has prevailed there during the entire winter, The American winter residents appear anxious to get away from Havana. A steamer last week brought more than one hundred passengers, HERALD REPRESENTATIVE—How is it likely to be about smallpox next Fall? Dr. MosHigk—I do not think that there will eyer be another smallpox epidemic. Almost the whole world is now vaccinated. This preventative has proved effectual in staying the march of the dis- ease, and the contagion was bad last year only for the reason that people had become caieless, THE PRESBYTERIAN GENERAL ASSEMBLY. se BaLtmmore, Md., May 26, 1873, The tenth day's session of the Presbyterian General Assembly was opened at nine o'clock this morning with prayer by Rev. Edward R. Geary, of Oregon. The report of the Committee on Narrative was submitted and considered. The report embraces the whole fleld of the Church—its progress, condi- tion, &c., concluding with a list of the ministers who have died during the past year, After its reading the Assembly engaged in prayer, offered by the venerable Samuel Lawrence. The report was then adopted. ‘The special committee to whom were referred the report and accompanying resolutions of the Committee on a Book of Praise, submitted a ma- jority and a minority report, the first recommend- ing the adoption by the Assembly of the report and resolutions, and the minority recommending the continuamce of the Committee on a Book of Praise for further consideration of the subject. The re- Pr and resolutions of the eommittee were given the proceedings of the 17th inst. It stated in brief that the work had been completed by Rev. Joseph T. Duryea, of New York, and the principal ac- companying resolution was that the committee be authorized to proceed with the werk, and that, under the direction of the committee, the Board of Publication stereotype and publish the same, with- out waiting tor the further submission of its parts to the Astembly. After considerable debate, the majority report was adopted. A resolution providing for the discontinuance of the Committee en Manses was adopted. Reports were made from the Committee on Bills and Overtures on a number of overtures from various Presbyteripes relative to the transfer of churches, boundary lines of Synods and the case of emigrants at Castle Garden, New York, Baltimore and other prominent emigrant ports, &c. An overture relative to the union with the Gen- eral Synod of the Reformed Church was reported, with a@ resolution that a committee of nine be ap- pointed to meet @ similar committee frem the General Synod of the Reformed Church to conier on the practicability and desirability of @ union between the two Churches, and to report at the next General Assembly. Adopted. Kev. Dr. McGill, of New Brunswick, was proceed- ing to address the Assembly on rotary eldership when the hour of noon arrived, and the Assembly adjourned until nine o’clock to-morrow morning. This afternoon having been designated for an excursion to Annapolis, nearly the entire assem- bly, accompanied by a large aumber of ladies, then proceeded to Laight street wharf and took a boat Jor Annapelis. THE PRESBYTERIAN ASSEMBLIES, Disinclination of the South to Unite with the Church of the North. BALTIMORE, May 26, 1873, A number of private letters whic have been re- ceived here from leading members of the Southe: Presbyterian Assembly lately in session at Litile Rock indicate that the Southern Assembly was almost unanimously averse toa union with the Northern Church, They received the overtures of the Northern Assembly with coldness, and, while they considered the subject of union with some other body, their general impression was towards @ consvlidation with the Dutch Reformed Church. Some of the leading men were inclined to acce; + the overtures of the Northern Assembly, but they were so overruled that they were obliged to abandon their own ideas in favor of re- union, They have written to the Assembly here, regretting that the project has failed jor the pres- ent and hoping that it may be renewed with more success in the future, There is much regret in the Assembly here that this offer for reunion has failed, but there is also a sentiment that they have done ail they properly can and that the pext prover Jnust come from the South, MASSACHUSETTS BIBLE SOCIETY, Boston, May 26, 1873. The annual meeting of the Massachusetts Bible Society was held at their rooms this morning, President Samuel H. Walley presiding. The report of the trustees showed that during the year t society had issued 26,557 volumes, of whieh 6,386 were gratuitously distribuied. Tue report stated that the work of the society had declined in every department, which is due inainty to the unfayor- able location of the rooms of the society. From the report of the treasurer, it, appears that the invested funds amount to $22,017 60; receipts from all sources, $26,936 60; expenditures, $25,835 81, including, for Bibles and Téstaments, $10,836 74; amount invested, $5,650; amount denated, $4,606 30 to the American Bible Society; Jeaving on hand $1,101 58, It was voted to authorize the Trustees to use their discretion in regard to building or leasing suitable quarters, Oilicers for the ensuing year were theu elected, LAUNOH OF THE REVENUE OUTTER BOUTWELL.

Important Questions To Be Discussed—New Testament Precedents, Teachings of Synods and Abuses in Discipline—Abstract of the Episcopal Syllabus. The Episcopal Convention of New Jersey, which assembles at Burlington to-day, excites more and more interest, because questions the most momen- tous for the Episcopal Ohureh throughout the country are to be canvassed, It is not merely the division of the diocese that excites interest; the prime question is the “Sustentation Fund” for the benefit of the poorer clergy. As the latter are ina large majority in New Jersey the debate is likely to be lively when this topic is brought up. At the last Convention @ committee was appointed to report on the feasibility and expediency of this plan, and this committee will report at this Conven- tion, A representative of the HERALD has called upom many prominent clergymen and laymen during the past week to ascertain their views on the subject. Most of those interviewed are strongly in fayoy of the project, while the Ml- nority express doubts as to its feasibility. One clergyman in Hudson county, whois a candidate for bishop, states that he will cheerfully surrender half his salary to help his poorer laborers in the vineyard. He says it is @ gross injustice to keep some worthy and zealous clergymen in poor parishes on the miserable pit- tance of one thousand or fifteen hundred doliars a year while other ministers, whose labors are no more arduous and whose merits are not superior, are clothed in fine linen and feast sumptuously on $6,000 or $8,000 a year, The leading tepics for discussion then are, first, whether the diocese shall be divided into two, three, or even four dioceses; secondly, whether the salaries of the clergy shall be equalized; thirdly, whether many of the existing abuses in discipline shall be remedied. Tfle following points are to be submitted in support of the proposed changes, and they are based in the first place on the prece- dents in the New Testament for the control of the temporalities and the support of the min- istry; m the second place, on the teach- ings of the first six Ecumenical Synods, of which the Church of England an the American Church, in the homily against the peril of idolatry, speak of as ‘those six councils which were approved and received of all men,” and thirdly, the aberrations of the ecclesiastical discipline of our age and country, from the Scrip- tural and primitive form. We find in the New Testament all control of the temporalities and their administration in the hands of the Apostolate, with the aid of the Presbyterate and the Diaconate, In proof of which reference is made to Acts iv., 34, 36, 36, 3° ‘Neither was there any among them that lacked; for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the price of the things that were sold and laid them down at the apostles’ feet; and distripution was made unto every man aecording as he had need,” &. In the first chapter of the Acts the office of Judas is called (verse 20) a “bishopric,” and also (verse 26) ‘‘apostle- ship.” And that this office called apostileship and bishopric was to be permanent is evident from the fact that it was the only order immediately com- missioned and sent by Christ aiter his resurrec- tion; that no intimation is given that at any time it would cease; that, on the contrary, it 1s tie oniy order with which Christ promised to be to the end ef the world; and that in the New Testament alone we find no less than eight new aposties created after Christ’s ascension, and expressly ealled in the Greek “apostles” —namely, atta L, 25, 20; Barnabas and Paul, Acts Xiv., 14; Andronicus and Junias, Romans Xvi, 7; Silvanus and Timotheus, I. Thesgalonians 1., 1, compared with I. Thessa- lonians 1, 6; and Epaphroditus, Pullippians 1., 25. Peter, the apostie, warns the elders not to abuse their power over the temporalitics, which shows conclusively that they must have had delegated power over them, The passage w which allusion is made is mis- translated in our commen English version. Liberally translated it reads as iollows:—‘‘Not ioeaiig it over possessions.’ I. Peter, v., 3. And Acts vi. proves conclusively that the Diaconate was instituted by the Apostolate to minister te the poor, under the direction of the Apostolate, that portion of the temporalities whieh was to be set apart for the needy, Moreover it is recorded (Acts xi, 30) that When a contribution was made it was sent to Jerusalem by “the hands of Barnabas and Saul” to the apostles and elders. On the other hand we never tind any lay trustees, wardens, vestrymen or any other lay controllers of a single denarius of Church property. ‘nis 1s, in brief, Scripture teaching. This is the divine precedent. Moreover, the second chapter ot the Epistle of James in effect condemns our rented pew system, waere it brands definitely and distinctly as a ‘sin’ the giving to the rich a better place in church than to the poor. This, of course, condemns a'l our rented churches and ail who manage them on the rented principle as wrong and abhorrent in the sight of God. Now, with regard to the teachings on these topics of those first six Ecumenical synods alluded to, It should be remarked that the thirty-flith article of the Anglican Church avers that these homilies “contain a godly and wholesome doc- trine, and necessary for these times.” Now, what is this godly and Wholesome doctrine? We find in the Scriptures the Apostolate exercising supreme authority over the Presbyterate and Diaconate, and naving the supreme control over the temporalt- ties. These divine precedents were followed by the firat tour Ecumenical Synods, the only ones which made canons, for the Apostoiate, by those canons, retains the same power over the Presby- terate and the Diaconate, and canon 26 of Calcedon makes it the duty of every bishop to have a@ steward of the temporalities of lis diocese, which steward, it was lurther ordered by the same canon, should be ‘chosen from its own clergy.’’ These are the facts so fur as the Ecumenical canons are concerned. find any authorization tradicting and setting at defiance the order of the Holy Ghost in James II, by giving the back seats, or the side aisle seats, or gallery seats to the poor, or, as in some of our jash- tonabie churches, turning them out of doors alto- etner or into so-called missionary chapels, tie jast an enormity to which those guilty Christians who are rebuked in that chapter had never de- scended, Now for the aberrations of the ecclesiastical dis- cipline ofour age and country from tli riptural and primitive discipline, aud the remedies needed. The remedies may be sumined up in a single ex- pression, Let us conform all our management of the temporalities and all owr discipline of the ciergy to the precedents and example set belore us in God’s Holy Word. How stall we do this? First, by putting ail the temporalitics under the supreme control of the Episcopate or Apostolate, and let us give the Presbyterate a subordinate and deiegated control over the tem- poralities, 80 they shail be the Bishop's ageats and amenable to him, d next, jet us have deacons to administer the alms to the poor. (his willsecure some general controland discipline. Third,tet asum be fixed by the bishops in their pro rial synods, which the fifth canon of Nice rs tobe neid twice a@ year, as the uniform ailo presbyter; to be increased, if he be married, accord- ing to hs finiiy; and, in order that none of Goa's Moreover, we never in them for con- money be spent foolishly or criminally, let all the clergy be ‘compelled by the Bishop to dress and live very plainly and very frugally, as becomes disciples of Hun Whose robe was without seam and who had not “where to lay His head.” How unlike theirMaster do we find many of the clergy with their wives and children, and the Bishops and their wives and enil- dren, when they foliow the pomps, the gaieties, the follies and the fashions of this wicked \orld! And let the Bishops, who profess to be followers of poor Pan! thie tentmaker, and of poor Peter the fisher- man, set the example of proper simplicity and proper economy in their own house. olds, and not consume $6,000 or $8,000 salaries, the amount ex- pended on six or eight or ten or tweive of their poor, hard working and absoiutely needy clergy. Let_ any man remember that the great bulk of the Protestant clergy througiout the country are now getting one-tenth of the smailest of the in- comes of some of the clergy, and, indeed, most of them get much less than one-tenth of it; that, in fact, it isa hard and constant siruggie with most of them to keep the woll of hunger trom the door, and that, moreover, the clergy are not chosen to positions in every case by merit or learning, but largely because they have friends in the vestry or among the trustees related to them by blood or marriage, or belonging to the same secret society. Let @ man remember that the luxuriously sup- Ported clergymen are constantly preaching to poor people the lesson of self-tenial and economical use of God's gilts, and If he be a rational man can he call it bees gee = else than a roaring farce? 1s not the whole system accursed in tie sigut of Ged and & stench in the nostrils of every good man? We Speak of the inequalities of salaries in the English Church, while we can find the same evil in our own land widespread, We can find our ten or tweive Vhousand dollar salaries, and inthe same diocese our five or six lundred doligr- salaries. We can find one clergyman living in @ Inxurious palace and able to ride in his car. riage, and another always so poor as to fear that he shall not have his daily bread, Moreover, with the administration of the tempo- ralities in their own hands, the Bishops can see to it that no pews be iet and no avominable spirit of favoritism on account of rickes be manifested in the house of God. ‘The authors and supporters of the present abuses—and let the blame be laid where it properly belongs, for the only way to re- dress abuses 18 to point them out plainly—are the peta many of the presbyters, who look for fasit- jonable congregations, that they may find con- genial associates for their wives, and better bruised, ug WoIMaD RaWed Se; J ieoseas C7 awed Seymour had a | chances in matrimony for their sons and daughiers, aud fat aud extravegant splayies to spend iy luxu- rious and wasteful living, contrary to the exes of their meek and lowiy Master. Associates with them in their wrong-doing are those of the laity who lose sight of the idea that the chareh ot God is a place to teach humility and lowliness of mind and spirituality, and turn it into a mere fashion- ab.e coterie of vain and worldly company, and tor mere social and secular pleasure. And in conclusion, that it would be well in future in choosing Bishops to follow what was largely the practice, In the Scriptural times and for lon; r— hat is, to choose single men without fam) for the high office of the Episcopate. The state of the Episcopal. church in this country proves conclu- sively that, where nearly every Bishop is married, as is the case contrary to all Scriptural and primi- tive precedent, the Scriptural discipline in the con- trol of the temporalities and of the lower clergy in the provision for the poor and the protection of their equal rights, will go to the wall. Many other minor points are appended to the foregoing, and altogether the Convention premises some important results, BEAL ESTATE MATTERS, In public sales at the Exchange nothing was done yt terday.
