“10 DR STORRS SPEAKS. He Dofines His Position Toward Plymouth Church. HIS OPINION OF THE ADVISORY COUNCIL The Evident Preponderance | of Favorable Delegates. ——_——. THEIR DECISION UNSATISFACTORY. Dangerous Doctrine Regarding the Power of Removal. i The attendance at Dr. Storr’s church, Brookiyn, or, as itis better known, “tho Chureb of the Pilgrims,” was suiliciedt to fll every corner even of the vast edi- Sco; im fact every seat was occupied, and camp stools | were brought into requisition to accommodate the peo- plein the aisles. This extra gathering, doubtless, was | fue to the curiosity which existed on the part of | the people of the vicinage to hear what Dr. Storrs had | to say im regard to Plymouth eburch and its pastor. Although it was simply announced that the Doctor | was to review the action of the late Advisory Council, | yet it was confidently expected that he would say | Jomething that might tend in some way or other to | throw light on the “scandal,” or at least give expres, son to some explanation in regard to the position he bas been supposed to have taken as antagonistic to Mr. Beecher. ‘The general tone of the meoting last night appeared Jo be one of solemnity. ‘The services seemed unusually | Impressive, and the selection of the portion of the Beriptures which was read by Dr. Storrs also appeared to prognosticate a statement full of portent, The voice of the minister also foreshadowed something important, ‘or it was singularly nervous and trombling in its tones, as though be had come to the conclusion that he bad a wiemn but disagreeable duty to perfor, When the hour had arrived for the usual sermon Dr, Storrs gratified the curiosity of his hearers by fully ex- plaining his position. DR, STORRS’ STATEMENT. ‘The fact Baving become public, by no agency of mine, thut I have resigned prominent offices in the Congregational communion, und it having beon 1n- ferred by the public that I am _ not ‘ju sympathy with its acts and utterances, \t scoms proper thut I should state the grounds of | my objection to these and my reasons for withdraw- ing from the position which 1 had held, As to the tharges against Plymouth church and its pastor, I have nover taken part in them, and I do not mean now to begin. I have some thoughts which to me scem Just on the relation of the result of the recent Council do the general scheme of Congregational government, and these 1am not unwilling to present, Of course they express only my opinion, and 1 have no right or Wish to do more than state them for others to think of | shem us they may, ‘The Advisory Council appears to have | been one of tuir ability and respectable character, though not, perhaps, of unusual moral right. It was largo in butubers, aud representing a constituency of 44,611 members in the churches. The Council of 1874 represented, I believe, only a membership of 28,843. Di the seventoen divines represented in that Council Dut tem were presept, Uf the twenty similarly invited | to the late Council twelve appeared. The churches Mhus represented ure scattered very fairly over the feuntry, and their advice and testimony are as proper | to be regarded as indicating the views und the practice which obtain among them, How fur many of them were called to this Council with known prepossessions in favor of Plymouth thurch policy and its minister I know not. Very ikely there was a considerable portion aud the roll | suggests that it was so. They were constantly under tbe intiuence of the pastor aud his friends, and this should be cousidered in examining the result which was put forth by them, and in estimating its probable ens efect upon the general denominational develop- meni There were also a number of other capable and dis- Unguished men whose apparent adhesion to this result fives it an importance it otherwise might not bave had. Dolleges, theological seminaries, prominent churches | e represented in it, and the natne of the Moderator who also acted in that position in the former Counci! is also of importance. The tormal utterance of this large Congregational Council musv be | poudered on by one who would knuw what the denom- | juation ts likely in the future to be and to do, aud how far he can co-operate with it, The declarations in the Feyuit put forth are loosely and imgeniously stated, but | tbe meaning of them is not hard to be found. Some of these are more important than others, but all have ref- erence to occurring cases, und are insended to mould and govern Church practice, and so far have a measure of importance. THK RESULTS, First—The result says that “in many cases’? where amember bas siguified not in writing or in Speech, but “by his acts” that he “has abandoned fol- owsuip with @ church in doctrine, &¢.,"" it may prop- erly separate him from it without formal censure, This is true, provided no charge bas been made against ‘he member afecting his character, But stated indeti- Bitely, 48 in this deduction, it leaves the church wholly at liberty to put its own construction on his | Acts as it chuoses to recognize aud to dccide tor itsell, | Whether this is one of manycases where such action is Brorer. th te.st all events a dangerous doctrine to adopt. the man who lus excited animosity in the church can thus be removed. Under ita church may cut off a member whose opinions and Votes differ irom the ma- jority, afd there is no redress, It seenrs hardly possi- jie that the Couucil foresaw the perilous range of its words, Perhaps the members were so intent on the of those whose exclusion they had beeu brought | re to justity that they quite forgot the many others @hom such a rash statemen! would equally alfect. mit is set to the exercise of women on the part Sf tke church. It might become tyrannical, and any abuse would seem justified by this vague but decided | ailirmation of the Council, It’strikes at the man who | would seek for an 1uquiry, unless a passive agreemont wus entered into with the governing power. Second—Still more dangerous, worally, least, is the further declaration that when a member has openly andoved communion with the Church, aud is charged ith a scandaJous vllence, ether vy public rumor or by specific allegations, “the church may use a Wise discretion in selecting the offence on which | separate him trom it and discharge from all further responsibility for his conduct and character.’’ This relieves every church | from the duty of investigating any offence or any otfender who does not himself prefer to be oxamimed. | It allows him to escape any ecclesiastical inquiry, and | makes him irrespousibie 10 the churci for any Wrong- | doing, whether itis a charge of forgery, adultery, slauder or a flagrant breach of trust. According to the Council the church is not bound to the community, to the churcbes, to the man himself orto the Lord and | Judge of all to examine the grounds of the blasting | Accusation, though it fills the wir, or though it be pre- feuted by specific allegations, sustained — by | unanswerable § trath, That church is at | hberty to separate the offender irom future fellowship on the ground of _ continued | absence trom church. This authorizes the course of Piymouth church im contravention of the result of the council of 1874 It was hardiy to be expected that a | Second council with the saine iwoderator should so ex- Pheitly contradict the first, which declared that “whea & council, properly couvencd, and orderly proceeding, has pronounced 118 advice, & second council, upon the | Substance of the same question, or upon the advice of the first, is manifestly hnproper.” It leaves every- thing unsettled, e THR STARTLING THING about the statement is that it prompts any criminal to ade achurch censure by abandoning church com- munion, A church may treat bin as ¥ recognized ab- sentee and so dismiss him, It seems to me the Couneil bas heaped dirt ou the graves of its ancestors and dooe e dishonor to the uame aud the cause of the Lord and righteousness, Third—Thowgh not of any primary importance, a dictum of the Council in regard to «certain class of cases specitied in the letter missive claims a moment's attention. It concerns members, otherwise unaccused, | who absent theinselves from its services on th that they believe its pastor guiity of crime, tb ae. after ‘nvespigation, has avquitted and » y | The wrath of the Council seems fully aroused against such Wrongdoers, though it vas just offered an outiet ‘0 instant and so easy for those accused of scandalous | offences. Undoubtedly it is true that a member velev ing bis pastor guilty of wickedness should seck eise- where tor religious tustructious, but there are mani- told cases in which retirement from the church stiould properir be long postponed. The better way woald seer | ior a member (o wait in patience aad prayer until | God in Hie providence shall bring to light the hidden thingy and make others the sharers of bis painful Knowledge. 1 am not prepared to say that the tuinistry of one believed to be vicious must be ac- cepted because others adhere to bim; that | the iguorance of the church is to super. | sede the knowledge of an icdividual member; that member may hope, peraaps. by tarrying fm the church to be able to P+ Neetning. pf it io ihe end, But in the interval it strikes me that not his ab- sence from the services, but bis continual attendance Upon thetm—his listening to the teachings and accept- jug sacraments of one whom he entirely believes impure hypocrite—this is the course which most Fequires apology or deience, and Piymouth eburch itsell, in @ recent conspicuous and signiticant case, ap- Pears to be of the same opinion. Fourth—A inutoal council isdefined in the result as “one selected by mautoal ereement between the need the protessors to PUFpose to give this de- mutual council ove in which the two op- ree in common on every member of is it one in which they agree in com- It did not | mine, in case charges were presented to them, NEW YORK HERALD, MONDAY, MARCH 13, 1876.—Wi1rH SUPPLEMENT mon on having a tribunal, and then proceed to consti- tute it, not in common, bat mutually, by reciprocal in- torchabge of selection of 13 members? ‘THIS COUNCIL ANNOUNCES it to be the former, and thereupon proceeds to say that Plymouth church had a ag to object to twoof the churches named by ber who had demanded the Coun- cil, and to make the objection at a meeting subse- quent to that which they had been named, and it had been agreed that they should be notitied. 11 the definition is generally accepted it will put an end to mutual councils im all dangerous cases | and in all cases im which they are needed. If either party have a right to object to achurch or ministers selected the attempt to constitute such a tribunal must be about as hopeful as the attempt to get apy tugitive from justice to beg judges to give him a trial. dangeroua blow was never given at that church order which has guaranteed to ministers a right to be heard, ‘To give to each party the right to select half the couneil would be the proper way. When the proceedings of a council are public, neither one can afford to be repre- sented exclusively by partisans. The public would find it out and they would be discredited at once if they gave a wrong decision. The Council of 1874 was emi- hently a non-partisan one. The weakness of this last Council comes largely from the fact that the majority Were supposed to be in sympathy with the action to be n ¢ Council assures the public that it tinds no 1 to cull in question the method by which the In- ating Committee of Plymouth ebureh was consti- tuted or the integrity with which the proceedings were conducted, It has not usually been the case that an investigating committce is named wholly by the party accused. does not generally consist exclusively of personal friends or business associates, it usually appoint as influential members of that Committee thore who are not we ‘8 of the church, It has not, either, been customary to appoint the attor- ney of accused as legal adviser to the Council, and instances = will__—rarely found in which that attorney saw witnesses beforehand and arranged with them so to shape his question as to seem to cxamine them while keeping Jrom the com- mittce ama which is known to hav least m the case committee sec sed seen about as clive: complicated facts, espe TRSTIMONY been done in the instance at of Mr, Richards, and 80 conducted would r elucidating obscure and ally for evolving inimical facts against its nominator, as a bushel of feathers for | excavating miues. A minister must be ing io the extreme who would not be satis with such artistic and comprehensive arrangements for smielding hin froma threatening inquiry. Since the Council Indorses the constitution and conduct of the famous committee, it looks as though a precedent has | been established of a most dangerous character, Sizth—Lest, however, even this arrangement should not give a wholly sufficient protection to a minister ac- cused of whatever crime, the Council in another way makes his security neariy perfect, This ix one of the most remarkable things comnected with this remark- able result. ‘THE CUURCH OP AMDOVER sends a letter expressive of concern in regard to the injury to the cause of religion and asking Plymouth Church to appoint a mutual council to investigate the matter aud settle the question for others. The Council goes outside the letter missive and adopts a series of resolutions on this matter, In doing this it showed its revolutionary principles. An ex parte coun- cil ought not to be convened untila mutual council had been refused, According to the vehement deliver- ance of the recent tribunal a minister can no more be discharged or investigated by his church, lt can only call a council to say whether the action of the church has been in order or not, and not whether the pastor is a graceless sceptic and criminal. Cer- tainly no pastor can be so safe as long as he is sustained by his personal followers and they | adhere to him, and while the Council throws over it this buekler the decision —of the council is un invitation to any plausible rogue to enter a Congregational church and there get a safety which outsiders would not be willing to offer. Seventh—Having made the Mutual Council of the Church impossible by giviug the parties the right to veto, the Council proceeds to invent a new instrument for its purpose, It appoints a committee of three, who are to select a council of five, to whom shall be referred all future questions, The council of five has the power to fill va- cancies in caso any of the members refuse to serve, There is a quorum, and it would be easy {or | them to determine, in case charges were propared, what the result should be. They might even deter: that they have been investigated before, and close the matter | finally. The Council says that a demand must be made by the party to the charges, who must be responsible, but does not say to whom. | If they ure not presented in sixty days the Committee of Five may still be or- ganized if they and the Committee of the Church choose so to decide, THRY ARE RESPONSIBLE to no one and governed by uo rule. Plymouth church is not even advised to accept the result, only to publish it. Thoresult arrived at by the committee is sup- posed to bea finality boyond which no examination shall go. Is it not humiliating that all ancient and honorable methods of mutual councils are set uside by a body not convened ww consider such question? This Council could not deprive a pastor of his pulpit even it ee should find him guilty of crimes worse than those charged. If a result like this be accepted what is 1eft in Congregationalisin under the original plan’ What basis remains for any rules whatever? Why contend, when the only result 1s to heap up sand tor the next puff of wind to blow it down? Dr, Storrs here in reference to the And. over letter gave a forerble illustration of the seandul, using the initials “A” and “8”? in putting the cases of the Andover Seminary and Mr. Beecher, He then went on to describe his reasons for leaving the positions from which he has lately re- sigined, saying he lef them —_ because of the presence of the thoughts above referred to, not as declaring a purpose to leave at once the communion in which he had been born ip. He continued, ei ave no claim to influence others, but for myself I want to see what others say, what the general mind of the church says to the re- cent extraordimary proceedings. Such a revolution may occur as will create a revolution in the general scheme of government which appears now to threaten A NEW TERM OF LIPE, with more of stability, order and strength. But un- Jess such comes I do not see how any man can abide in a house so frat in its foundations so inirm im {ts structure that it may tum ble in heaps around him ut any moment, I cannot give any large portion of my remaining years to rebuliding the platform on which Tam to stand. I capnot be alWays upavailingly trying to get the primary rules of the church established. Dr, Storrs here gave a sketch of the history of Con- gregationalism, and said ‘it must ut least wssure the world that it provides established rules which will assure the members of churches which may be formed that the: by sunply absenting themselves from the sacrament, Councils should be assured to the humblest member who feels aggrieved. Lastly it must be said, with the utmost em- phasis, that a method must be found, if one does not exist, by which can be secured preach- ing in the pulpit, In the case of Plymouth eburch the dropping of one of its members from the roll atter the pastor had been charged with adul- tery, and when a complaint on account | of ‘such charges by @ member of — excel- lent standing and rep had formally lodged against him; the peculiar appointment and peculiar procedure of the Investigating Committee, on account of whicb their verdict wholly tailed to RESTORE PUBLIC CONPIDENCE. ‘The cutting off of another member without trial or consure, in spite of her protest, and in face of her terrific declaration — that the pastor, who for years had opened to her the secrets of his confidence was to her knowledge a perjured adulterer; the denial to her of a mutual coun- cil under cover of an_— objection —_to two of the churches named = by her | whieh made {t impossible for them to appear, and jus- Utied others in equally declining; the repulse of the gentle and noble overture of the Andover church; every ono of these proceedings is emphatically endorsed. ‘The last. was suggested by this large and influential body. Dr. Storrs concluded by saying, “I would almost recall, if it were possible, the words I leit coastratned to write but vera progratis is as good a rule as in earlier time, and iv is as true of the | government of the churches as it 1s of their worship, that “God 1s not the author of confusion,” FIVE CENT NICKEL COUNTERFEITS, There appears to be a mania among dishonest people for counterterting five cent nickel pieces, notwithstand ing the example which the government has already mado of Lewiniski and Jobo and Thomas Loughrey, who are now undergoing sentence at bard labor in the Penitentiary. For some time past the police of the | Twelfth preeimet, Brooklyu, have been annoyed by | complaints from storckeepers setting forth that a boy was going about that district passing spurious five cent | pieces. The car conductors on the Fulton avenue line | Were also victimized, though they managed to pass them in return on unsophisticated passengers, jt Week (he police were on the alert for the nimbie youth with the counterfeit nickels, On Saturday last they arrested « boy wuamed Lynch as tne culprit, On being closely questioned he confessed that he was the son of a bricklayer named Wiliam Lynch, residing at No. 1,575 Fulton avenue, | avd bis faiher was in the babit of making the bogus coin im the nighttime, The police visited the residence | | of the Lynebes and took the father aud mother of the boy intu custody. They found a plaster of Paris mould wii a quantity of molten metal on the premises, Lynch said that he had found a package of bad nickels on the street; that he had been ous of work all winter, with the exception of a iew days, aud his family werd in Wank ASSAULT ON AN OFFICER.

Mrs. Hardy, of Boston, held a séance last evening at Republican Hall, West Thirty third street, im pre: ence of large and refined audience, It had been an- nouneed that through the mediumship of th “spirit hand’? would be ‘materialized,’ aod | mould taken in paraffine exhibited. y Ali this was done, 4nd apparently done without trick or device. About eight o'clock, Mrs, Hardy, together with her husband, | and Mr. Newton, of this city, stepped upon the plat- Singing by achoir and a poem by Mr. Hardy form, | Opened the séance, Mr. Newton explained the manner in which the spirit hand would me materialized. A committee would be appointed from the audience, who would have full charge of the details of the sitting. | Parafline would be melted in hot water, ;the pail | placed under the table on the platiorm; the table would be covered with a cloth, and the medium, enveloped in a sack, would sit behind it, No one else ‘was to be allowed upon the platiorm. These conditions, | he said, would be observed, and if any one present was dissatisfied with them, he could leave and get his money back. A disturbance Would not be tolerated, and that | the managers were earnest in the latter resolve, was | apparent from the presence of a policeman. Mr. Hardy then read history of his wife’s medium- ship, detailing particularly her first and subsequent attemnpts at materializing spirit hands, Her sfances had becn in the light, and she had yielded to all the | captious demands of her eritics, such as being placed ina suck and doing away with’ darkness at their re- unions, No genuiae medium could promise success, | but afrs, Hardy had matervalized about forty hands of all shapes and sizes, some of which had been | recoguized as belonging to those that had passed from | the earth, and she iad never failed, He had no the: to advance how this was done, bat did not doubt it was the work of spirits. The committee was then selected, and was composed of three gentlemen and two ladies— Oliver Jobnson, Erastus W. Smith, John W, Griscom | Mrs, Austin and Miss Burns. | The committee retired to an adjoining room, ob- | | | and then throwing it into the water, reappeared and | placed the pail in full view of the ‘audience, ‘They | then examined the platform to see that there was no trap doors, even removing the carpet that covered it. ‘The platiorm is but about four inches high, six feet long and about as wide. The ladies inspected | the sack, made of sumething | resembled fine musquito netting, and found it without break or rip. Mrs. Hardy got into itand Mrs, | Austin fastened it tigntly about her neck, Beside the pail was a basin of cold water, Around the table was placed the cloth, All retired from the platiorm but Mr. Griscom, who wanted to remain, Objections were Taised, and it was decided that he could not keep his | wcat there unless he was enveloped as was the medium, ' Mr Griscom assented to this proposition, i | endeavored to borrow some lady's waterproof, | none could lend him the article, He then took his with the remaining members of the committee, saying that he was “neither a Spiritualist nor a Materialist,” and he “wanted to see for himself,” Mr. Hardy then said:—*We want no accomplices; let everything be fair.” Some of the hghts were turned | off, but there were burners suflicient to make everything | visible and distinct throughout the hall Mrs. Hardy took her seat behind the table, and besides having her hands in full sight of the audience, apparently did othing strange, ‘The choir sang three or four pretty i and in about twenty-five minutes there wero rappings under the table, when it was an- | nounced the spirit had communicated, that work | had commenced, and whut was desired would be pro- | duced. More singing and another wait, when there were other rapping’, and the spirit sent the mes- | sage that in “seven minutes we shall be through.” In just that time Mrs, Hardy got up, the burners shut ‘of were relighted, and, with everybody anxious, tho committee began their work. Mr. Griscom immedi- ately looked under the cloth, and, clapping bis hands, sad, “I thought so; there's nothing Another member followed his example told a different story, for near the was found the | from the parattine aud was yet warm. The haud was, | apparently, somewhat deformed, but yet it wasa band, | the tingers, thumb and nails all being natural. Mr. | Johnson was satisfied, as one of the committee, that there had been no trick or device resorted to, and, though he could not explain it, deemed the 1ateriali: tion a success. Mr. Griscom was still an unbeliever, and theorized to some extent, charging that the hand had heen placed there after the medium left ber scat; but he failed to explain how it was so warm. ‘The lady members believed what they saw, and had no theories | toadvance. The audience lingered a long while, 1n- specting the spirit hand, and finally departed wonder. ing at what they had seen. PROBABLE MURDER. At nine o’clock last night a probable murder was committed in the tenement house No, 21 Sullivan street, Alice Fitzgerald, an unmarried woman, about fifty-six years of age, plunged a kuife into the lower part of the back of Bridget Malone, another unmarried | woman of about the same age, who resides in the same | house, and inflicted what will in all probability prove to be a fatal wound. ‘The blade of the kuife penetrated the abdominal cavity, inflicting a ghastly wound. The | wounded woman was'taken to Bollevue Hospital and | her assailant was promptly arrested, The apparent motive for the murderous attack was a | quarrel which took place between the two women on Saturday afternoon. Whether there bad been any previous ill fecling between them is not known, but it appears that on that evening they bad a very bitter quarrel, during which much xbusive language and many epithets tnore forcible than polite or elegant were exchanged between them, It is said that Alice Fitz- and” pail | tagonist that she vowed vi would have Bridget’s life, This was looked upon at the Lime as a mere outburst of anger, but the result seems to show that it was the expression of a settled purpose. ‘Ata late hour last night the wounded woman was in a very precarious condition, and but slight hopes are tertained of ber recover; FIENDISH OUTRAGE. About half-past seven o'clock Inst evening a girl named Aunie Entwistle, cleven years of age, was pass- | ing from her parents’ residence, No. 95 Coles street, Jersey City, when she was followed by a rutfian who, she said, “Yumped from behind the trestlework”” of the Pennsylvania Raiiroad and seized her by the arm. | When she looked in his face he threw a handkerchiet across her mouth and burried her to some vacant | lots, where the scoundrel accomplished his purpose. | He thea led her through several streets till she was | quite bewildered, and when he reached a the city he left her to find her way home could. She wandered down Montgomery atreet tll she was met by Officer Harney, who conveyed her to the First precinct station house, where she told her story. Au officer was detailed to convey her to her | home, and meanwhile detectives will ve placed on the | track of the diabolical scoundrel. THE RHODES MYSTERY.

Albright, January 29, 1874: CHRAP BRIKERY, The above certificates were duly signed by the pre- siding officers of the respective houses, those issued to | the Scnutors by the President. of the Senate, and those issued to representatives by the Spoaker of ihe House. | Each of the suid certilicates was presented by the j Senator or Representative to whom it was issued, as | atoresaid, to B. K. Bruce (now a Senator in the United | Suutes Senate from Mississippi), at the time he was candidate for said office betore sissyppt, at the aforesaid session, and each of the said certificates was cashed in lawful currency of the United States by the said J. K, Bruce tor the full face value, with the private understanding and agreement between the said B., K. Bruce and the said members of the Legislature, as is universally believed here and com- mouly related, that ia consideration of the payment of the par value of the said certiticates they aud each of them would cast his vote for him, the said B. K. Bruce, in the Legislature for the otfice of United States Sena: tor, which agreement wus carried out by each member of tho Legislature, as aforesaid, with the exception of two or three, as the records show, At the time the said certificates were cashed all war- rants issued by the State Auditor in payment of debts due by the State were worth in open market only sixty- five cents on the dollar im legal curreney, and were bought and sold at that rate for several months previous to said transaction, and for at least one year subse- quent thereto, with but slight fluctuations, and at no time have said warrants beer paid by the State Treasu- rer for their fuce value in currency. But such war- rants were receivable for certain prescribed taxes due the State at their full value, but for other purposes they were only worth the market value, ‘The certificates bought by 8, K. Bruce were delivered to J. & T. Green, bankers, of the city of Jackson, Miss. by Bruce or bis agent. The firm of J. & T. Green did ullerward—to Sa on the 4th day of February, 1874— present the certificates to the Auditor of Publi Ac: counts, Who thereupon issued his warrant No. 994, un- der his band and seal, for the aggregate amount of said certificates, viz., for the sum of $4,445 81, in favor of the tirm of J, & T. Green, who were at the time the | agents for Bruce and authorized to settie the accounts of Bruce as fax Collector of Bolivar county, Miss., with the State Auditor of Pubhe Accounts, Brace having held the office of Sherif and Tax Collector of Bolivar county for several years, and at the time of said trans- action holding said office aud continuing to hold it un- Ul the 4th of March, 1875, when he was admitted to a seat in the United States Senate, BRUCE'S EXCUSE. It is claimed by Bruce and bis triends, in justification of the purchase of these certilicates, that the law au- thorized him to cash warrants or certiticates at their face value, and pay them into the State Treasury in settlement of his accounts as Sheriff and “Tax Legislature of such warrants and The law uditer and Cou certiticates, regulating the Treasurers i | | Collector m leu of the current money collected | and pala for But this is duties of the Stat in respect to and other officers for public revenues collected by them is contained in the Mevised Code of Mississippi of 1871, sec, 327, page $1, and reads as follows:— ‘The Treasurer of the State, Auditor of Public Accounts | and county treasurers sball not receive from any she tax collector or other oflicer or his agen revenue, taxes or other dues of the Stat certificates of indebteduess subscribe au oath before him if, in payment for any warrauts or ‘es such ofeer shall make and his sworn doputy, who is that sueh officer {and any tal any ofieer who shail exchange mone him received or collected for for such warrants or certition reetly a ay proiit, disenunt, conte tage, shall med guilty ot m misderm@anor, and, ou con- vietion thereof, he shall be removed trom wltice and fined in a sum not less than $500 nor mere than $1,000, of be im prisoned at hard labor in the penitentiary for nov less than ove year nor more than two years, or both, at the discretion of the Court, TUE NOMINATION OF BRUCK, Finally, prior to the time of the purchase of the cer- tificates as aforesaid, Bruce and his irieads had failed to secure his nomination to the office of Senator in at least two caucus mootings of the political ; .rty to which’ he belonged; but immediately alter be bought the certificates a caucus meeting was neld, the members of the — Legislature bein present, and he was nominated to the oflice of Unit States Senator by a stnall majority, mainly through the instrumentality of the members of the Legisia- | ture from whom certificates lad been purchased, as ; above described, | That is to say, Brace not only, as is alleged, bribed i | the Legislature, but also, as is’ alleged, violated the revenue law of the State and took a false oath, in or- der to use in the settlement of bis Sheriffs’ accounts the certificates he had bought.

B, Wilson an extension of his patent on sewing machines, known as the “four motion feed,” will have, no doubt, an important bearing on the question of prices on sewing machines. Contrary to expecta- tion, the adverse decision of Congress on Wil- son's application for extension has not made any v of sewing machines, The den! was evidently foreseen, consequently manulacturers were not surprised, Tue expiration of the patent will directly benefit the younger and smaller companies, as they have beem:compeljed to pay heavy royalties to the older companies controlling ‘ke improvement, and were thus obliged to keep the prices of their machines ata figure far above the cost of production, Stil there appears to be little probability that prices will fall at once, for the combination of capital aud business interest ix so strong that the market is effectually con- troiled, Only a few of the manufacturers believe that a redaction in prices would be advantageous; there- fore the long sought for boon of rates nearer the cost of manulacture appears to be as far off as ever. CAPTURE OF A CONVICT, Tu Newark, yesterday afternoon, Officer Prout, of the police force, was advised that a gang of suspicious characters were secreted in an old building on Com- mercial street, known as Ripley’s sawmill, In com- pany with asquad of police in civilan’s dress Prout made adescent on the place and captured four men who are suspected as thieves. One of them proved to be Bill Delaney, whose escape trom the Essex County Pouitentiary was noticed in yesterday's HkwaLp, Janey tried to hoodwink bis captors by gi f, his pame as Jobu Kane. Ie wiil be returned to his old quartets in the ’enitentiary on an increased term there, The other prigoners ure held as suspicious characters.
