A cable telegram from Berlin, dated in the Ger | man capital yesterday, 9th inst, reports as [oi- lows:—“David Friederich Strauss, the eminent German theologian, is dead.” David Friederich Strauss was, a8 @ theologian, one of the most re- | markable wen of the age, his great work, the “Lie beving excited @ commotion in the Christian world little mierior in ite intensity to Vhat which has been since produced by the pro- mulgation of the dogma o! Papal infallibility. He Was born at Ludwigsburg, in Wtirtemberg, on the 27th of June, in the year 1808, and was, consequently, 1m the sixty-sixth year of his age at his death, He completea his collegiate studies at Tiibingen and Was ordained to the service of the Church in the eer, 1530, In 1531 he became’ professor 1n tue minary of Heilbronn, but quitted the institution shortly aiterwards in order to finish bis theological studies at Berlin. Here he read the Hegviian Ppmiosophy aud returned to Tubingen, where he becume tutor in a theological academy. Strauss rematued almost entirely unknown to ame ren D the writer attempted to resolve tne saviour, the man-God, into an almost mythical personage. Hence bis book produced @ most projound seDsa- tion. The Professor recognized in Jesus merely & reformer and a teacher, around whose history bad clustered a number of beautiul myths, The aogmas of Christ he received, but the divinity of His mission he denied. These views were, at the period of their enunciation by him, new and startling, and shocked the piety of the whole Christian world, Many books were written in reply to the work, which good men did not hesitate tu term » mass of | | blasphemy, and for @ while Strauss was the object of universal indignation. It was even proposed to suppress lus pubiicationsin Berlin. Yet jour years © later he was, alter much opposition, appointed | Professor of Dogmatics and Church History in the University of Zurich. Since that date he jas pub- lishea @ variety of theological and historical works, all marked by learning and ability, but none exciting the Opposition or attracting the at- tention to which his “Das Leben Jesa” gave rise. During the ume of the revolution of 1848 he was an unsuccessful candidate for the German National Assembly. He was returned, however, by the voters of his native town as # member of the Wurtemberg Diet, where, to the asronishment of everybody, tie took his place as a conservative. His constituents were So dispicused with this ac- tion that they calied on him to resign, and com- pelled him to do so. In adaition to his theoloyical works Strauss has written “Lile of Schubart,” 1849; “Christian Maerklin,”’ 1851, and “Lie and Writings of the Poet and Philologist, Nicodemus Fischuin.”?

The matter is now before the Legisla- ture, and meanwhile the Methodist clergy are de- veloping @ most determimed opposition to the | measure, A number of them heid a meeting yes- terday in one of the parlors of St. Paul’s church, in Newark. The first business in order, after the usual devotional exercises, was the delivery of a vigorous address in favor of the measure by a layman, Mr. E. Drake, who declared that the taxation of chureh | property was right; that the Church would do wrong to place itsell in a position resisting taxa- tion on the plea that the Churca was promoting good order, intelligence and good government; that the Catholic Cuurch paid up its share of taxes as it was; that there was no good reason why Princeton College should not be taxed as well as | any other private property in Princeton; and, finally, tnat in his opinion the Church should be put in a position wnere it could stand up and say lt was @ taxpayer, as no one thing retarded the growth of the Church so much as the non-taxation Of church property, Strong ground was taken in Opposition to these views by Key. Messrs. Looinis, Tuttle, Faulk and Dr. Sheldon. Mr. Tuttle op- posed the measure because it was, he thought, “a great outrage and a mis- Mr. Faulk used similar language, but said that one great weakness of ministers was to jancy that because the ark was touched it Was going to pieces, Dr, Sheldon said that tne Christian people of the State are going to oppose the amendment, and that the change could not be made in tne tace of such an intelligent con- stituency. The proceedings closed by aresolution to print 3,000 tracts lor circuiation 1n opposition to the measure, ihe New Jersey Historical So- ciety, the Presbytery of New Brunswick and the facuity of Princeton College have all declared in opposition also, One of tae most prominent lay ethodists of New Jersey, who isin iavor of the taXation, said yesterday that the clergy were troubling themselves unnecessarily, as the entire work 0. the Governor's Commission, in his opinio: Stands small chance of being approved by th Lefisiature, much less by the next, and then by te people. BROOKLYN MUNICIPAL AFFAIRS, An Appointment—Offal Contract Busi. mess—Street Cleaning Matters Dis« cussed. The reguiar weekly mecting of the Common Council was held yesterday, President Bergen in whe chair. Andrew McDonald was, on motion of Alderman Ropes, appointed Assistant Sergeant-at- Arms, to “keep order in the lobby.” An unruly set of aldermanic constituents usually occupies the lobby auring the meetings, and keeps up such a din that public business is frequently interfered Sive thereby. The salary of Andrew was fixed at 1,000. Police Justice Walsh nominated Francis Quinn for Clerk of tis court. Tue Board coutirmed the appointment.
