In the United States District Court yesterday, before Judge Blatchford aud a jury, the case of The Uniwd ‘States vs. F. Cousinery & Co. was commenced. It was an action to condemn 800 casks of brimstone imported by the claimants, who entered the goods at the Custom House as “crude brimstone,” and, therefore, not dutia- ‘Die under the act of July 14, 1870, The government sub- sequently seized the brimetone on the ground thatit was “refined” and subject to a duty of $10 per ton ander the act of June, 1864, Counsel for the prosecution, in his ‘opening statement, contended that the claimants entered ‘the brimstone as “crude,” while they well kuew it was “refined.” Counsel for the defence took the opposite side, confending that, in order to determine the meaning ofthe words “refined” and “crude,” as applicable to this case, the meaning must be taken asit was understood in ‘the commercial rather than in the scientific world, : THE HARLEM EXPLOSION. i oe The Sub-Contractors Admitted te Bailin $20,000 Each—Alleged Probable Indict- ment for Manslaughter in the First Degree. Considerable. interest was shown in Supreme Court, Chambers, yesterday, on the bringing into Court upon writs Of habeas corpus of Herman J. Beemer and Andrew Coyne, the sub-contractors, whom the jury under Coroner Kessler, in the case of the Harlem boiler explosion, bad pronounced guilty of criminal negligence, and who, pursuant to the orders of the Coroner, had been committed to privon without bail. The fact of finding such a verdict, so rare in cases of this kind, and the dis- Position it evinces of meting out proper punishment to the culpable parties, as well asa natural inquisitiveness to know if throagh the strategy of legal device there is any likelihood of their escape, has served to invest the case with speosal Interest. 1t vad been the orig’ in- tention to take the parties before Judge Ingraham, in the Court of Oyer and ‘miner ; but as the Jatter Court had adjourned and Judge Ingraham was nowhere to be found, the case was, taken before Judge Brady, nolding bis! agra Court, Chambers. r. Albert Stickney, counsel for Beemer & Coyne, stated that the object of the writ of habeas corpus was to tix bail for them, and thus relieve them of the neces- sity, with its accompanying privations and nardships, of remaining in prison pedding their bemg brought to trial, ‘wheih might not take place in several weeks, and, pos- sibly, tor several months. He said tl these men were r sible, that ey were sure to appear for trial, and that atthe utmost they could only found guilty of manslaughter in the fourth degree, and more than likely ouly of misdemeanor. Assistant District Attorney Lyon insisted that the in- dictment against them could not be less than man- slaughter in the first CBee Not having had the papers tor examination, he could not act with that degree of intelligence he would otherwise, but trom the tindin; alone or the Coroner's jury, sharging these parties with criminal negligence, he considere at 000 bail for each was the least that should be accepted. Judge Brady said that trom the papers before him he Must assume an indictment for mansiaugnier in the first degree. He could maise no distinction between them and other prisoners. Seven valuable lives had been lost, and the Coroner's jury charged upon the prisoners criminal negligence. The question involved was one of the gravest public interest. He should Fequire bail asthe case then stood; but it the Grand Jury brought eae indictment for manslaughter in the fourth “degree would afterwards reduce the bail. Mr. Stickney fought hard for a reduction; but Judge racy, in this asin every cage where strict and impar- | justice is the matter’ ‘at issue, remained inflexible. ‘The amount of ball required, it seems, made no differ ence in the end, for the prisoners found @ willing and able bondsman 'in Mr. Sidney J. Dillon. ‘The necessary I papers were speedily prepared in the District At- Lornay’s office, the bond approved and the prisoners sot FOLEY’§ INJUNCTION. Wis Crusade Against the Comptroller and City Chamberlain Not Sustained. A full report was given in the Herarp at the time of ‘the application of Mr. John Foley’s injunction against the Comptroller and City Chamberlain, as well as the novel argument in the matter before Judge Fancher, Supreme Court, Chambers. He claimed thatin the mode of paying checks the requisitions ot the new charter were Mot being complied with, inasmuch as the warrants ghould be drawn upon the Chamberlain by the Mayor and Comptroller, and checks drawn on the banks by the Chamberlain, and thus create an important check upon the expenditure of the city money, while the present mode of drawing che y the Mayor and Comptroller directly upon the banks, without the intervention oi the Chamberlain, and the payment of the Chamberlain's checks by the Comptroller, entirely destroyed the con- templated saieguard. Judge Fancher gave his decision ip the case yesterday, denying the injugetion. DECISION OF JUDGE PANCHER, Although the language of one of the sections of the new city oharter seems to favor the position ot the plaintif, yet_when all the sections are colinted and the general intent Considered, it is apparent that the plan pursued by errors, and the Chamberiain for the safe keep- bn} aoe bursement of the public moneys is conformable There seem to be sufficient checks against improper Payments, devised as well with regard to the provisions of law as to the exigencies of the Finances Department. Warrants drawn on the Chamberlain by the Comptroller and countersigned by th layor, which are paid by tl deposit banks under the existing arrange- ment, are, when paid, equivalent to the pay- ments by the Chamberlain. There does not seem be any n ity for the eircuity and increased labor of another set of checks by the Chamberlain, cor- responding with the warrants. As to the point that the Chamberlain has not the opportunity for the further scrutiny of each claim thus paid by warrants, which he would have if he drew another set of checks, it must be remembered that the Comptroller is the chief et the Fi- nauce Department, and the Chamberlain could not refuse ich are drawn by the Comptroller Moreover, such war- Cred it Pe ime that a rent pro- cedure would Recesaitate additional labor, expense and without any corresponding advantage. The course suggested in the plaintiff's papers docs not seem ‘to indicate any improved chart for ocean of affairs in the Finance Department of the city. I think the mo- ‘tion for an injunction should be denied, with $10 costs, to abide the event. BUSINESS IN THE OTHER COURTS. SUPREME COURT—TRIAL TERM—PART 2. The Comptroller eon Payment for Profes- sional Servic Before Judge Van Brunt. ‘There are some “bills for professiona! services" ren: dered the city which the Comptroller does not pay with quite the alacrity he pays his own special counsel.

The Mayor, &c.—This ts au action to recover from the Corporation of the city of New York for printing and furnishing stationery to the amount of $113 25, The defendants’ answer is that Mr. Taylor was at the time an officer of the Corporation, and therefore could not be lawfully interested in the work which he Bow sues fer, and which isto be paid tor irom the city treasury; that he was Commissioner of Jurors, To this answer the plaintiff has demurred, and on the argument which has been submitted to me in writing by both sides, these points are made:—first, that this Court has no Jurisdiction over the Corporation of the city of New York. itis not contended that the subject matter of the action is not properly within the jurisdiction of the Court, but itte urged that the Corporation is exempt from being sued in this Court.

This I cannot say; and the act itself provides that all acts theretofore passed inconsistent with that act*ghould be deemed to be and were thereby repeated. 1 consider that it was the intention of the Legislature todo awa: with a policy which had existed to narrow the channels of obtaining justice crea the city of New York by mo- nopollzing such jurisdiction in one or two courts of the State. Much of the mischief which has obtained in the administration of the affairs of the city (which now bas become historical) would have been prevented and might never have occurred if parties having jnst claims against the city of New York had had that free and un- trammelled resort to all courts which obtains in all other rtions of this State, In regard to the question whe tr.

Nor do I think there Is any force in the suggestion that the Corporation of the city of New York is not corporation established by law within tne city of New York, but that it holds by a charter from the British Crown. ‘The acts of the Legislature amend- ing the charter recreate and re-establish this municipal body as one of the corporations created by law of this State, “A demurrer is therefore well taken, and the do- the answer fendant may have the usual leave to amen on the usual terms. MARINE COURT—PART 2, Authority of Mr. Bergh to Make Arrests. Before Chief Justice Shea. In the case of Dennis Christie vs. Henry Bergh, Presi- dent of the Society for the Prevention ot Cruelty to Animals, Chict Justice Shea delivered, yesterday morn. ing, an elaborate opinion, defining his powers as such officer in niaking arrests and calling the police to his aid, and also as to the relative rights of the public under such circumstances. The power to arrest was upheld and it was decided that Mr. Bergh was responsible only for an abuse of power, and as the mere question of the authority to arrest was betore the Court, there being po avermenis that the power was abused, Mr. Bergh was discharged from arrest. The opinion considers the policy of the statutes in superseding the rule of the common law in respect to arrests in such cases of mere misdemeanor. COURT OF GENERAL SESMONS. A Shooting Case. Before Recorder Hackett. In this Court yesterday Benjamin P. Mallory pleaded guilty to an assault with a dangerous weapon, with in- tent to do bodily harm, The indictment charged that on the 6th of November he fired a loaded revolver at Joseph Costello and inflicted a wound In the neck.

Costly Amusement. Betore Judge Bixby. Early in the morning tour very stylish looking young men were brought in in charge of OMcer Hirsch, of the Twenty-seventh precinct. They were arrested the pre- vious evenu near the City Hall, on the charge of Gabricl Castle, driver of one of the Twenty- third street line of stages. The young bloods had been on a lark and were riding past the City Hall jm the stage, about eight o’clock. They were amusing themselves crushing each other's hats, and, getting tired of that, they smasned the stage windows, much to the discomfiture of the driver, who had visions of being obliged to pay the damages, However, he called on Officer Hirsch and had thein ull arrested.

Daniel Kelaher was brought into Court yesterday in charge of an officer, who arrested him on complaint of his wife, Catharine. She made her formal complaint of his continual inhuman conduct towards her, and said the night before he came into the house in a beastly state of intoxication and turned her and her four children out in the street. As he was about being committed by Judge Bixby for disorderly conduct he turned suddenly around and struck his wile a violent blow in the face. cutting it severely.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, Important Meeting Yesterday—The Ma- jority Report in Favor of Speedy Re- sumption of Specie Payments Passed— The Memorial to Congress. The Chamber of Commerce met yesterday, at halfpast two o’clock, at the rooms in William street, to take some final action concerning the majority report of the Committee of Specie Pay- ments, the minority report of which committee was voted down at the last meeting. Mr. W. E. Dodge, the President, occupied the chair and there ‘Was quitea ull attendance. Great interest was manifested in the subject, though opinions seemed to differ very much as to what action the members would take; indeed, the Chamber seemed to be equally divided upon their action. The meeting was opened by Mr. ALEXANDER DELMAR, who, in the course of apaper which he Tread on “Statistics,” said that the diMculty in the resumption of payments was that during the war property to the value of $6,000,000,000 had been destroyed. Mr. S. B. RuGGLES opposed this view by say- ing that, while this was true as to destruction, the actual increase in values since the war was $12,000,000,000, making a clear gain of $6,000,000,000, Mr. ANTHoNyY then read a very lengthy paper, in which he reviewed the whole field of finance and commerce, and drew deductions therefrom show- ing that the fact of re-establishing specie payments was perfectly possible. He was interrupted in his statement by a motion to limit each person to five minutes, which was carried. Mr. Anthony was al- lowed, however, to proceed to the end ofhis paper. Mr. Jackson S. SCHULTZ said, briefly, that there seemed to him one great difficulty in the resump- tion of specie payments on any one day. It was very well for the government to cover its $350,000,000, but when it was found necessary that the banks should also be ready on the same day they wouid secure every bill they could get in and keep it. Then goodby to the merchants who hoped for any discount. He believed the result of the plan would be to make the government itself fail. Mr. A. A. Low was of opinion that the longer a man was in business the less he Knew about this matter, He was involved in so many intricacies that he was not clear on any subject. The speaker therefore believed that it would be better to step very cautiously in the matter. Mr. SAMUEL D. BAROOOK, one of the two members who offered the jority report, said he iad lived to see two resumptions of specie payments by the banks, and he believed he would live to see a third, There was no necessity of delay, and the sooner it was done the better, Matters would equalize themselves speedily. Mr. Gustav Scuwas made a long speech in oppo- sition to the majerity report, and offered as an amendment to it the following :— ‘Whereas this Chamber has repeatedly expressed its conviction that the honor of our government and the welfare of our people require the spcediest possible re- turn to specie payments; whereas the crivis through which our commerce is now passing facilitates in an un- expected degree the accomplishment ot this purpose, and offers a rare opportunity for returning to the universal measure of value without inflicting on our people the losses heretofore anticipated from & general shrinkage of values, inasmuch as this shrinkage bas already been brought about by the exist- ing crisis; whereas the contraction necessary for a per- manent reduction of the volume of paper money has already taken place; whereas the balance of trade has tor some time je been in favor of this country, and hereas these favorable conditions are certain to con- sufficiently long It our government now takes de- termined steps for restoring our Lis acing 4 on a firm gold basis; whereas an elastic currency is to be best secured by a currency convertible into gold, since gold alone can bedrawn by one country irom another; whi the contraction now going oft in Kurope promises a tavor- able opportunity tor supplying ourselves with the re quired gold; therefore, a Resolved. That thi imber petition Congress for the Prompt enactment of the following measures :— 1. That sales of gold by the Treasury be prohibited. 2, That the volume of legal tender notes outstandin: be limited to $36,000,000; that any greenbacks issued over and above that amount be immediately tunded in United States bonds or interest bearing Treasury notes, and that any temporary requirements of the lreasury beyond its receipts be hereafter supplied by the sale of interest bearing Treasury notes, payable at short dates, & That within the ensuing six months a old loan amounting at least to $100,000.00) be raised in Europe the most tavorable terms obtainable, and that the pro- ds of such loan be immediately converted into United deposited in the Sub-Treasury of the city of New York, and ther? used for the payment of such legal tender notes as may be offered for redemption. 4 That the legal tender notes so redeemed be destroyed, and that such reduction of the volume of paper currency be made permanent. 6, That any further gold accumulated in the Treasur; pate and above the amount of gold certificates outstand- ng the amount ot gold interest on United States ailing due within the thirty days next ensuing be in like manner used tor the payment of any further legal tender notes that may be offered jor redemption, but that the Secretary ofthe Treasury be authorized to reissue the notes so redeemed at his discretion. @. That the national banks be made exempt from the operation of the Usury laws of any State. A long discussion ensued on this matter, and, finally, Mr. Schawb’s amendment, being put to the vote, was voted down almost unanimonsly, Mr. George OppYKE said he sincerely trusted that the whole matter would be laid on the table, as he believed it would work irreparable injury to have the provisions of the majority report accepted. The motion to lay on the table was put to vote and lost by 26 to 16—some not voting. The ‘majority report and the memorial to Con- were then put to vote and were carried by to 15, amid great applause, ithe three most important clauses of the majority report are:— First—That the purchase of United States bonds be sus- pended, if not already suspended, by the force of ciroum- * Recon That the redemption of United States legal tender noves be commenced on the 4th day of May, but tthe power of reissue be continued. That the Sub- ‘reasury, in New York, be the appointed place, with fend % the department to redeem at other points also, ven acearaa munis Pare te ais Se KS, ol yoney “ot he "eountey should appear o render such @ Measure necessary.

A Brave Officer Fatally Struck with a Stone by a Negro Thief. Arrest ot the* Alleged Assassin. OMcer Edward u. Burns, of the Eighth precinct police, was struck on the head with a stone tn the hands, it is alleged, of Isaac Hatch, a negro, while on the way to the station house in Prince street ‘ime night before last. He died at nis residence, Nonod West Thirteenth street, about two kours afterwards, At eleven o’clock Officer Burus, with @ number of other policemen, followed their Captain (Williams) from the station house to a disorderly negro den at No. 611 Broome street. This piace had been @ nuisance to the inhabitants of the neighborhood for along time, and Captain Williams determined to break it up. Colored people of the most abandoned character of both sexes frequented it, and continued their dissipa-' tions up to a date hour each night. The mo- ment Captain Williams and his men made their appearance in the street on Monday night there was @ general rush towaris the back en- trance, but only about five or six persons managed to get out when tne police fastened the door on the inside. Ali found within were made prisoners, and as s00n as something like order was restored Captain Williams turned to the last officer who had entered the house, who happened to be Burns, and desired him to take acertain prisoner to the station house. The officer promptly took hold of the man (Hatch) and started outwith him. As he was leaving the premises one of the other policemen cantioned him to be on his guard, saying that the prisoner was a@ slippery customer, Burns answered that he would take care, but unfortunately he does not seem to have been watchful enough. All that is yet known of his movements from that moment until he was discovered LEANING AGAINST A RAILING in Prince street is that he took the dinection of South Fifth avenue for the station house. He had evidently made half the distance between the cor- ner of South Futh avenue and the house, which stands on the corner of Prince and Wooster streets, when the fatal blow was struck, He was almost within calling distance of the station, Oficer Keirns, who had started trom the den in Broome street with another pris- oner shortly after Burns, taking a different was the first to notice Officer Burns. He had gone into the station, locked his Prisoner UD, and was re- Loney to the scene of the raid when he saw Onicer Burns lying against the railing a few doors from the station house. Thinking he had been drinking and not wishing to be a witness against him for any charge that might be made for the offence, Keirns passed on, going through South Filth avenue to Broome street. He had a further reason for not rendering Burns any assistance, such as the occasion would seem to demand, which was that Roundsman Jackson was within a few ee of him, in company with another officer, and oth were walking in the direction of Burns. Keirns passed on his way and Roundsman Jackson went a to Burns. Seeing blood towing from the back of his head upon his linen, he called upon the other officer to assist him, and both conducted the dying man to the station house. Arrived before the desk, Officer Burns complained of feelings ill, and told the Sergeant in charge he had been struck from behind with some heavy instrument that stunned him for awhile and the prisoner had run off, Dr. Cook, the Police Surgeon of the district, ‘was cent for and arrived promptly, He examine. the wound in the officer’s heaa and dressed it. By this time all the other prisoners had been locked up and the Captain arrived at the house. On inquiring of the Doctor of the extent and danger of the wound, the latter replied that the skull was slightly dented, but the wound was not a serious one. je recommended, however, that the Captain send Officer Burns to his home in charge of a couple of other officers, and the Captain replied :— “{ WILL DO BETTER THAN THAT,’” and sent for a carriage. Burns was placed in the carriage, with two of his comrades, and the Doctor, and driven to his home; but going in from the con- vVeyance to his dwelling he died. The two police- men were beside themselves when Dr. Cook announced to them that Burns was dead, They could scarcely credit the statement. and stopped for a moment to look at him. Being convinced that there was no longer any life in the body of their comrade, they lifted him in their arms as carefully and kindly as if he had but that minute entered the world instead of having just gone out ofit. What preparation the time would allow was given bis wife, but. they could not delay until the first shock of such intelligence had passed over her, and the body was conducted into her Presence. The news of the death of Officer Burns created a profound impression in the station house. He was respected and liked by every man in the command, and there was not one in the place at the time who was not eager to start in pursuit of his murderer. Captain Williams would allow no one to periorm that duty but himsel!, and he went out alone to look for the man whocom- mitted the crime. At nalf-past two o'clock in the morning he returned with Hatch and locked him up. In the meantime a search of the street, in the vicinity of the spot where Oficer Burns was dis- covered, was made for the instrument with which the murder was committed. Fora leng time noth- ing that looked like a weapon could be noticed, but before the search was abandoned one of the policemen engaged in the work saw @ smooth, almost round, paving stode on the sidewalk, close to the place where Burns lay, and picked it up. Upon examination it proved tobe the instrument and was taken to the station house. How Hatch got possession of this stone—whether he picked it up in the street or had it with him at the time of ais arrest—is not yet known; but in ail probability « he had il in his pocket, {HE SMOOTHNESS AND CLEANLINESS of the stone gee this impression. It would have been very difficult or almost impossible for him to pie it up while in the custody of the officer, so that ¢ must have had itin his pocket previously. He no doubt slipped it out very quietly and lagging & step or two behind ¢ cer, quickly raised hand and struck the blow. Although it seems im- probable, Burns might have taken his hand irom the person of the prisoner for an instant, as the pavements were covered with snow and walk- ing Was dificult and dangerous, and in that way given the scoundrel an opportunity. Officers do sometimes allow their prisoners to walk beside them when they feel secure about them, and Oficer Burns may have done this. It was an unfortunate ‘bestowal of confidence if he did, and one that is deeply to be regretted. Throughout the department the loss of this brave officer is deplored. He was @ sober, steady, faithful policeman, and his captain says one of the bravest men it has ever been his for- tune to meet. He has only been in the department since the 9th of last May, but in that time he had managed to earn the good will and triendship of all those with whom he came in contact. e Commissioners speak of him in the highest terms, and said yesterday that they knew of but iew men in the force that gave such promise tor the future, Mr. Henry Smith, the President, took a strong interest in him, and intended transferring him to the detective offic: this week. He came to New York from Philadelphia, where he was attacned to the detective force, and where he seems to have been highly esteemed. The officials in Philadelphia who have Known and worked witn him retain their estimate of his vaiue and seem to continue their interest in his welfare. Letters irom some of them were received by President Smith during the past week, warmly enlogistic of the unfortunate officer. He leaves a wile and two children, of whom he was the on) support. Superintendent Matsell and the President Ield a consultation Mek biped in reference to the funeral, and both decided to be present, but whether it will be attended by the whole Department, or only by his comrades of the Eighth precinct, has not yet been decided. The Superintendent was informed of the murder at about half-past three o'clock yesterday morning by Captain Williams, who went to his house immediately atter locking hts prisoner up, to re- port what had been done and receive any orders jor farther action which the Superintendent might consider necessary to give him. Hatch when arrested had nothing to say jor himself, He pretended that the other negro, who was arrested at the same time a he, threw the stone, but the police {eel confident that he was the man. Some of the officers think Oiicer Burns had two pris- oners, but that is evidentiy an error, for the Cap- tain’s order to him was to “Take that man,” and he was too good a policeman not to do exactly as he was toid, Hatch was taken in @ negro court which ruus of Thompson street and is known as the “Fort.” He was in bed when Captain Williams broke into bis room. Mang in- quirers Went to the station house during yester- lay to glean particulars of the occurrence, and among the number was Mr. Appleton oi the pub- lishing house, He desired the Captain to make put @ subscription rf for the benefit of the oficer’s family and send it to him when it was ready, At a time when so much interest attached to so remarkable a case itis to be regretted that the ser- geaut in charge of the desk was not @ more polite and courteous officer than Sergeant Grew. The public are entitled to some information when an outrage like this is committed upon one Of Its servants, and it does Dot really seem to be asking too much of a sergeant that he should give that intormation ina becoming mannt He might lift his head trom the very laboriou cee: mermaids on the slate when asked about the extent of the injuries of the officers in his pre- be! fod boy sereauee Eka that he | cal. oul e public astray. Sergeent Grew no doubt coustaers. that he ought to be a police commissioner instead of @ police sergeant, and there is no question that at the moment when a vacancy occurs in that body, he will be waited into the empty ehair by the vociferous stouting of the pre: linitation of the methods of his superiors in dealing with the public woaid do the sarenent og DAM apd cost pothing, | First Council of the Reformed Protestant Epis- copal Church—A Secsssion from the Protes- tant Episcopal Church—A Restoration of the Prayer Book of 1785—Interest- ing Meeting at the Young Men’s Christian Association Rooms, Acouncil was called yesterday by Bishop Cum- mins, of Kentucky, for the purpose of organizing for the formation of @ new Episcopal Church on the basis of the Prayer Book of 1785. The Council assembled at ten o’clock yesterday morning in the east parlor of the Young Men’s Christian Associa- tion. A declaration of principles was read by Bishop CUMMINS, who moved that the document be re- ferred to a committee, and that a recess of filteen minutes be taken while the committee was en- gaged in the work of examination. The resolution was adopted, and Messrs. Albert Urane, of Illinois; Charles D, Kellogg, of New Jersey; J. A. Sabine, of this city, and the Rev. Marshall B. Smith, of New Jersey, were appointed as the committee. During the recess copies of the Prayer Book of 1785 and of the Journat of the Convention of 1185 were dis- tributed. _ The committee appointed to consider the deci ration of principles proposed by Bishop Cummins as: the basis of organization of the Reformed Episco- pal Ghurch then.returned the same to the meeting and offered the following resolution :— Resolved. That we whose names are appended to: the call for, this meeting, as presented by the presiding Bishop, do here and now, in humble reliance upon Al- mighty God, organize ourselves into hurch, to be known by the style and title ot “The Reformed Episeo- pal Churen.”" in conformity with the following destara- i Of principles, and w! e Rey. George David Cum- milla, D. D., as brosiding Bishop. ‘6 mt DECLARATION OF PRINCIPLES, Fird—The Reforined Episcopal Uburch, holding. the faith once delivered unto the saints, declares its beilet in tures of the Old and New Testaments as od and the sole rule of faith and practice; in the creed commonly called the “Apostie’s Creed,” in the divine institutions of the sacrament of baptism and the Lord’s supper and m the doctrines substantially as they are set forth in the Thirty-nine Articles of Religion. Second—This Church recognizes and adheres to episco- acy, uot as of Divine Tught butas & very ancient and esirable torm ot church polity. Third—The Church, retaining a liturgy which shall not be imperative or repressive of freedom in prayer, ac- cepts iowa and recommended tor use by the genera! constitu- ion of the Protestant Episcopal Church A. O. 17! reserving full liberty to alter, abridge. eniarge ani amend the same as may seem most conducive w the edi- fication of the people, “provided that the substance of the faith be kept entire.” Fourth—This Church condemns and rejects the follow- ing erroncous and strange doctrines as contrary to God's 01 Fird—That the Church of Christ exists only in one order or form of ecclesiastical polity. Second—Thut Christian ininsters are priests in another fense than that in which all believers are a “royal priesthood.”” Third—That the Lord's table is an altar on which an oblation of the body and blood of Christ is offered anew to the Father, Fourth—That the presence of Christ in the Lord’s sup- per is a presence in the elements of bread aud wine. Fiyh—That regeneration is inseparably connected with baptism, The report and resolution were unanimously adopted. The Chairman then rose and formally declared that by the vote of the ministers and lay- men present they had organized a church tobe known as the Reformed Episcopal Church, and with the Right Rev. George David Cummins, v. D., as their presiding Bishop. The chair was then re- signed to Bishop Cummins, who offered a fervent prayer for the biessing of God upon the work of the morning. ADDRESS OF THE BISHOP. Bishop Cummins next read a long written ad- dress, embodying a detailed history of the changes in the Episcopal Church in England and his country. He described the preparation of the Prayer Book ot 1785, aud noted the particulars in which it ditfers from that new tn use, declaring it to be the most acceptable Prayer Book yet pre- pared ana the one most in conformity to the Scrip- one In the conclusion of his address the Bishop said :— Ig the Prayer Book of 1785, then, perfectly free trom ob- Jection? By no means, Nothing human is free from im- periection. But this we claim, that since the beginning of the Reformation of the sixteenth century no prayer k has ever yet been set forth so nearcontormity to Holy Scriptures. We accept it as a precious boon leit to us by our tathers, older than the constitution ot the United States and dating back to the very intancy of our existence asa nation. sut we reserve to ourseives full liberty to amend, alter, enlarge or abridge this book as the Lord may ghide us by His holy Spirit. Nor do we purpose to make the liturgy’ so con- spicuousor obligatory on you, and our generations aiter us, that your children may not say to our children in time to come, Ye have no partinthe Lord. The Lord our God judge between us and you. Towards all other Chris- tian ‘people ot like. pre taith our attitude Js that only of love and sympathy, and of earnest desire to co-operate with them in the extension of the kingdom ot the Ke- deemer, both theirs and ours. We regard our movement only as @ step towards the closer union of all evangelical Christendom. For this we shalilabor and pray. W: gladly acknowledge the conscience of men, that it is al- ways, and only to be used, and that freedoin in prayer is to be claimed and not refused. We thanktully accept the book from our Father; we will alter, amend. abridge, or enlarge it only with great caution and’ discretion, and, askinj e guidance of the Blessed Spirit’ ‘This, then, is our attitude towards our brethren ot the Episcopal Church. To our brethren wiio, with great indignation, have lifted up their voices against us, and to those who raise the hand of human might to overwhelm us, the Lord God of Gods and the Lord Jesus Christ, the Head over all things to His church, He cnoweth, and all Mis people shall know, that not in’ rebeliton or’in transgression against the ‘Lord have we done this thing, it may be a witness between us and you and’ our validity of the ministerial orders of our brethren whom God has sent into His vine- ‘ard, and whose labors in the land He tas accepted and essed. We shall invite all members of evangelical churches to occupy our pulpits and to take part in our services. And we shall rejoice to meet them and their flocks as often as may be expedient around the Lord's table, and acknowledge that we. being many, are one body im Christ, members one of another. THE BUSINESS OF THE COUNCIL. Bishop Cummins then said that the meeting was @ first Ecclesiastical Council of the Reformed piscopal Church, and could proceed to general business. Mr. CRaNe offered a resolution that the general meetings of the Church be called the ‘General Council of the Reformed Episcopal Church,” and shall be composed of the representatives ot the en- tire Church, and under that name shall hold and dis) of temporalities; also that the Council shall be held annually, on the second Wednesday in May. The resolution was adopted, On motion of Mr. caer it was also voted to choose four ministers and five laymen as a Stand- ing Committee, three laymen as a Finance Com- mittee and one layman as Treasurer. A vote by ballot was then taken and the follow- ing were elected as the committees :— Standing Commitice.—The Rev. Marshall B. Smith, New Jorsey; Rey. B. B. Leacock, New York; the Kev, Charles E. Cheney, D.D., Illinois; the Rev. Mason Gal: her, New Jersey : George M. Tibbetts, New York: Dr, G. A. Sabine, New York: Ale: @. Tyng, illinois; bard and James L. Morgan, of Brooklyn, was elected Treasurer and Herbert B. Turner was made per- manent Secretary. The Rev. Mr. WYLIE, a Presbyterian clergyman of Nyack, who was formerly an Episcopalian, made a short address, expressing nis gratification with the work of the morning. Dr. CHENEY offered a resolution that the presid- ing Bishop and the committees elected ap- pointed an executive committee to dra/t a con- stitution.and consider suggestions for the amend- ment of the Prayer Book until the meeting of the next General Council. The resolution was adopted. On motion of the Rev. Dr. GALLAGHER it was voted that the presiding Bishop and the standing Committee be authorized to prepare forms for the ordination of ministers. The Rev. Mr. LEAcocK offered the following pro- visional rules for the government of the Church ‘until the meeting of the General Council. 1. Ministers in good. standing, in other, Churches shall be received into this Church on letters of dismission, with out reordination, they sustaining a. satisfactory examina- h points as may hereatter, be determined, aud. paneer tothe ‘doctrine, discipline and moran of ins oP urdinations of bishops and other ministers in this church shall be performed by one or more bishops with the laying on of hands of the presbyters. 3. Communicants in good standing in other evangelical Churches shall be received on presentation ot a leiter of dismissal or other satisfactory evidence. ‘The rules were unanimously adopted. After the singing of the Doxology, the benedic- tion was pronounced by Bishop Cummins, and the meeting adjourned until three o’clock P. M. AFTER RECESS—ELECTION OF ANOTHER BISHOP. Alter recess the Council was called to order and Bishop Cummins satd that he desired to direct the attention of the Council to the consideration of the question of the lucation of another bishop, bishop besides himsel!, to-take part in the organiza- tion and spread of this Church. Up to last night he thought that he could do all the episcopal work. that was needed, but from information since re- ceived his opinion was changed, for he did) think that another bishop shoald be planted in the West, Rev. MARSHALL B, SMITH moved that in the papa sed of this Council it 13 expedient that a shop should be elected x @ section of this Coun~ cil and set apart for that o: Mr. JEREMIAH TAXLOR, Of Connecticut, said that he should be in favor of two additional bishops. He thanked God that the platform had been adopted which he had lived by for more than 6Qyears. He had been obliged to build a chapei in the region where he lived, because at the church where he had been in the habit of vepenippine | was taught that the triune God Was nowliere é except at the altar. Mr. TURNER, of New Jersey, was tn, favor of one bishop, and he thougnt that there should be a suc- cession of bem and that there should be & bishop who shi go West. Mr. MORGAN, of Brooklyn, supported the ap- pointment of one bishop. et ‘Mr. ALBERT ORANB, of Chicago, supporte’ 8 es of a bishop orien Sanaa uu STO ae pa ere wat ane ‘Was all that was needed in the work. He had received lettera from several Baptyst, Meth- odist and Presbyterian vleraymen, ofenag to join ie Book of Common Prayer as it was revised , pro- ,| this question be discussed by laity. He thought that tite was & strong feeling favor of the bistors Ngee eh practical argument Suggest id made to slong, if possible, with sae Moan a Dish me ‘Come out from bishop the Protestant ‘Episcopal Chura’- He believed that there would be three o! in Chicago, two in Peoria, and lie nded the starting of others in. the Jasig. ‘populous cen- tres. He thought for the next five snonthe could get on well, and that the pulpit of Saar could be filled whem he was occasionaliy ent. 5 Rev. Mr. Bowrwe sald that apostolic example showed that the ponien went out two and two, and theretore he thought, in this great enterprise, there should be one assoviated with the Who could be his companion and counsel, Colonel Aguiar, of New Jersey, was of opine = sone the present Bishop would reed seme as Rev, Mansuany B, Sart moved shat we pro- ceed to the election of a bishop for the Northwest. After afew minutes spent i silent prayer the Council was led in prayer by Dr. Mars! B, Sunith, asking for guidance on this subject. At the Suggestion of the Bishop the vote was taken by orders first, the order of the cletgy, and secondly, that of the laity, ‘The clergy nominating: and the people etecting was the practice Carough— out the world,” said Bishop uramins. Sever clergymen voted, The Rev. Charles Edward Cheney, rector of Christ church, Chicago, was nominated by the clergy On &@ unanimons vote of seven: There was one vote given forthe Rev. Marshal B, Smith, mak! it votes, A vote was then taken from the laity, and the nomination was confirmed. The ‘Gloria’ was then sung, and Bishop Cum mins offered peayer. The Rev. Dr. CuENEY said that the: office of bishop was unspeakably repugnant to him, viewed* from im pareness relations to himself, tor he was. constitutionally and socially unfitted for the office, But on this movement he would not allow that to influence hig. He felt that Chicago was: to be for the West what New York was for the East—the centre of this movement. He came fram. his vestry at Chicago, sustained by his people, and to goback to them and erat after all their trials ana labors to build up that church, he was to leave them, would excite a feeling in their minds that would not be favorable to the Prem of this movement. He should therefore compelled to oer — UW he were to accept it he should be doing ‘ong. After several appeals from his brethren Dr. cusney declined to accept, and a resolution was passed unanimously that the Executive Committee make arrangements for his consecration should’ Dr. Cheney. after consultation with the peaple of his parish, accept the office. After tae transaction of some formal business). and singing and prayer, tie Council adjourned. SALE.
