The grandest fostival of the year is celebrated by the Church to-day, and the joyousness of the event it commemorates tinds its way ito every heart, even when only the earthly gladness of the season is per- mitted to warm with its sunshine. To-day the whole Christan world rejcices that Curist is msen from the tomb, that man’s redemption is accomphshed and that the hope inspired by the prophets is fulfitied. During the past there has been mourning over the agonies which the Redeemer suffered, tears over His crucilixion ard ali the solemn warnings avd invi- tations of the ministers to hearken to the meaning of tbe life that was offered up for the saivation of the world. The churches were ail draped in embiems of sorrow, ceremonies were performed suggestive of the different stages of tho passion, and a!l Cors- endom stopped a iittle, in its everyday @orldly pursuits as a mark of respect to the final scene on Calvary. To-day “these commemorative signs of the cruelties, the agony and the death which Christ sufferod are all thrown aside, and in whe presence of the stupendous miracle of the resurreetivn, the Church sings loud hosannahs, peals forth a song of praise and wonder that resounds throughout the world, for Christ nas verified the } roph- ecy—Uh Death, I will be thy death! Oh heil, I will tear thee with my teeth.”’ Inthe celebration of this crowning festival the Church kaows no exaggeration im «tS expression «of the senso oof = its sublime Importance, We may expect today to see all tho churches exercised at their uimost to do honor to the festival, using all ‘that core- mony and sermon can do to impress upon the minds of the faithful the grand event which 1 being com- memorated, Inthe Episcopal and Catholic cburches the most gorgeous ccremonies which their respective liturgies permit will be put in use at the services, and all who feel a renewed impulse to devotion by witness- ing solemn church scenes may expect to be treated to rare feasts in this regard. In the Catholic churches especially the Ligh masses will be attended with un- usual pomp and magnificence, there bemg no festival in the year when so much latitude in gorgeous display is allowed. The sanctuaries will be all decorated with unusual and profuseness, and in every Uttic incidental detail some additional charni will be added. The altars will bo abluzo with lights and every niche made beautiiul with ornaments or flowers. The Vestments worn by the priests will be of the very Tichest fabric each church possesses, and the golden Vessels used ia the service of the mass will be the Tarest and the most costly, All the choirs will be re- intorced, especially ior the grand masses, the choicest works of tbe great composers being selected aud the best singers that can be procured added to the ordi- nary voices, In many of the churches orchestras will be added to assist the organ accompaniment, The best preachers may aiso be heard on the sublime themo ot the resurrection, In the Episcopal churches not less aplendid Wiii be the services, though not so repleio with ceremonial detail. At all times the Episcopal service is interesting in the extreme trom the quiet, simple beauty of its liturgy; but when to this ts added an especial attention to the exquisite music to which its hymns and psaims are sung the service 1s more than impressive and imposing. 1n’allthe leading churches of this denomination a special feature will be made of the music, and ef course eloquent sermons will be preached by the pastors. In ths brief allusion to the Feligious celebration of the glorious Easter festival to- day therc is only one painful circumstance that suggests tiself in the enumeration of the many attractions which the pastors wili bold forth to their rongregations, and that is the absence of Mis Emi- nence Cardinal McCloskey from the Cathedral, ow'ng to the continued feevle condition of his health.’ In all the uther churches, also, interesting services may be expected, more, however, from the sermons to be deliv- ered than from any adventitious aids that wiil ve availed of im giving expression, tofrengious feeling or in seeking to inspire it in others, In the Ritualistic churches Services similar in u great degree to those held im the Catholic churches will be held as usual, IN THR GREEK CHURCH, An event which rarely happens and which will occur oniy once again during the present century will take Place to-day, and that 1s the commemoration of Easter ‘on the same day by the Oriental aud Occidentat Chris- care tian churches, In the Greek chapel on Second enue Easter will be observed to-day with unus' pomp and ceremony. Last week ser- vices were held Monday, Tuesday and W re: ued was in the chapel every day, On Yedmesday the titurgy of the ted, and on Thursday and St Basil the Great, On evening & service commemorative of the deal of the Redeemer was performed, and vo-day the liturgy of St. CEryostom will bo chanted by Mr. Verofl, the feader, in the Sclavonic language. Father Bjérring, the priest, attired im a heavy purple and goid-spangled robe, and bearing in his hands a golden: censer, a erocitx and triple candel:bram, containing Iighiea tapers, will proceed, according to custom, from the altar toward the congregation, who stand during three hours swinging the eenser the salatation which may be heard on the public streets ip Russian cities all day long, “Christ ws risen.” To this salutation the readet in Uchalt of the people, responds, “Truly risen. The paintings of Christ, the Virgin Mary and the saints, whom the ‘orthotox Greek Church honor, and’ which in the little chapel on Second avenue bang on the wails lacing the audience in the pre- sanctified place will be reverenced to-day by priest and people, 1s the custom in the Catholic Church ou Easter Day, No instrumental music is used in the Oriutal churches, and none will be used in Father Bjerring’s chapel toray. The communion ents are administered in both kinds to such of the rogalion as have previously confessed and re- ceived priesily absolution, The services at this gime are 8o proionged there is scarcely a chance at any ume for a sermon, and there will ve noue to-day. HISTORY OF THK PRSTIVAL % Easter derives its Teutonic name from the festival doddess Ostara (om Angio Saxon Eastre), which the Saxons used to ce ebrate about the season at which Abe Christian festival of Buster occurs, In the ancient church tke festival Jasted eight days, but tn the second eentary was limited tu three days and later to two Formerly it was especially devoted to conterring bi lism, and at this season too, it wus customary to dipense alms to the poor, and oven to furnish feasts in the churches, lt was called the “Sunday of Joy."” In the second century a dispute arose the time of holding the festival The Bastern churebos celebrated it on the 14th day of the first Jewish mouth OF moon, considering 1 to be the equivalent to the Jewish Passover, Jews in memory of their miraculous ance from the bondage of Egypt siaughter of all the first-born of the the destroying angel having passed over the the Hebrews, whose doora were marked with of the paschal amb which was killed the mot fore. This feast the Jews kept on the lath day The Passover was kept by the deliver by the be the ing to greatest part of our Mareh and part of April, The Chureh considered the killing of the paschal lamb to Le the figure o1 the death of Christ, and commemorated the resurrection, the seat to His great work, on tho Sunday after the 4th of the moon of March, tolerated the Eastern charches for some time in celebrating the event on the Mth day, the same on which the Jews kept the Passover, Torditteronco As to the time of the celebration was the cause of the dispute. The Council of Nice, in 325 A. D., ordained that Easter should be kept on the Sunday that loilows the 14h day of the moon ot March, aud the Em- Peror Constantine pablished the decree throughout the Roman Empire. (hose who reiused to obey the guthority of the Council were looked upon as schis- ties, and called Quirto-decimans, The proper ronomical cycle for determining the occurrence of the Easter moon was not is Council, In 1582 the Gregorian calendar which the Euster time has Sanday 1s always sow Moon which happens pot of next alter the 2ist full moon happens on a Sunday pas not celebrated uotil the sunday following.

SINCLAIR—SHE WILL HAVE EVERY OPPOR- TUNITY TO PROVE HER CHARGES, | Mr. Charles 'Conor said yesterday to a Brooklyn | | Argus reporter, spexking of the statements mado by | ‘Mes, Catharine N. Sinciair to therame journalist, which | were copted into yesterday's HxRaup:— } “L am very much surprised at Mrs. Sinclair's con- | duet. Tid not think that anybody could or would act as she has done in this manver. When I first saw the statement, purporting to have been made by Mrs. Sin- clair, which was published in the Hzraup, I belleve, and which retterated her tormer charges, as published tn the Times article, 1 coud scarcely believe my own | | | | | ael . | _ “Then you maintain that Mrs. Sinclair Is not stating the tru:h when sho says that you took “her case for nothing?” “My deat éir, we are talking about a wo refer not in, and I to say that, She is- mistaken, perhaps | , though Ivan scarcely see how that thing to justily such fonts ax she has made, ? “She says that she is prepared with papers and other evidence to prove the truth of her assertion,” “She will have plenty of time and opportunity to | prove them then. 1 desire the fullest investiga. tion ito this matter, and will not be satished until [ havo proved to the world that Mrs. Sinciair’s assertions are unfounded, But I wonld much rather that vou didn’t say any. thing about this, Itis a very mupleasant subject, and I prefer not to say anything in regard to it Vestigation shail have been made. that Tam very muc Sineiair, knowing wh atements, | alway: yd If she had ment, and said:—'Mr, O'Conor, 1 want ten, titteen, or twenty thousand dollars,’ | would have given her the money, knowing that it was a gift, T would have given itto ter gladly. 1 had money im those days, plenty of it, and I would gladly have given her all she required,” “But Mrs Sinclair asserts that her card, published inthe Hexaco in 1851, was written from tho draft of a letter furnished by Mr. Chase.” “That may be. What Mr, Chase may have done lI have no knowledge of; but the card was certainly not authorized by me, If I nistake not, that card says or admits that WR NAD MRK PROMISE OF PAYNENT as soon as she had the money to pay lor our services, I never authorized Mrs. Simciair or any one to say that I bad undertaken her case for nothing. It was a mat- tor of business ail the way through, and was recog: nized by both of usassuch. .You may say that | am very sorry to see Mra. Sinclair putting herself in such peculiar position. She is awoman Lalways hiked and res) jed, ani Lam painfully surprised at her ac- it wait a little; she will have ail the oppor- tunity she wants to bring forward her papers ana all other evidence she has to make good her assert It will not be my fault it the investigation isn thorough one.”” “Sbe says:—‘Mr. O'Conor has been very many times bitterly attacked during his career, but this is the first time that he appears in print with defence or denial. if my statements are so immaterial and unfounded, as he mays they arc, why 18 he #o evidently alarmed about them 1? at thy All L bave to sa} surprised and grieved that Mrs, t she doos, should mak firet time.

The substance of the | opinion is given below. | Alter reciting the laws under which the Commission- | ers were appointed, whose province was to determine whether a railway, the route of whieh’ had been pre viously designated by other Commissioners, ought to be constructed, be proceeds to discuss the various objec- tions raised by the property boiders, He holds that as | to the Urst objection it 1s not the tact that the act is local, and, therefore, within the constitutional pro- ‘Visions forbidding various iocal laws on the act; on the contrary, it is general im its provisions and applicable to all parts of the State. There are two exceptions in the act as regards streets in New York and Builalo, but he hold that there is nothing im the constitution forbidding the constitution to make local exceptious in generai laws, aud even If these excep- tions could not be made they would not be, under the act, anulliiy, Me next discusses the question of com- pensation, and declares that the Legislature has the power to take privato property for such purposes on 1ixing compensation by the Commissioners, and are not bound to give any other, The rights and ecuness given under this act are really no greater than those conferred by the general ratiroad acts, lor uwauer them any twenty-five persoas having the capital can com- bine to construct and operate a railroad through the entre length and breadth of the State, and, by com- pensating the owners, taking their property against their will, That system of laws has been approved ior twenty years, and there 1s as iittle reason for axsailing the jaw of 1875, jor under it no person can be deprived of his property without his consent, unless he is prop- ‘This tact was tuily maintained by the © utional amendments of January, 1875; for they declared ihat the Legislature should pass general Jaws “granting to any corporation, association or indi- vidual the mght to lay down ratiroad tracks,” with (he provision ay to consent of owners of one-half. the property affected in case of street failroads, or the ap- proval of the General Term Commissioners, He next | decides that under the uct the Comunssioners were not rostrictea sm their judginent and power in selecting un underground or overground route, or one along the street or over houses, The objection that the Mayor's “Commissioners «id not act within sixty days irom pointment, aud that the consent of the owners or of the General Term Commissioners was not had within that ume, is over Fulud us not Consistent with the provisions of the act Moreover, eveu though the law should be ao inverpre- ted, he holds that the proceedings would not be invalid, since no provision Was made ior which avy such pur- pose can ve inierred. Next he decides fhat it was not necessary that the property owners should be notitied before the seiecticu of the General Term Commissiou- ers, and that 1 Was. The notices given to the property owners were reasonably sufficient At the time when the motion was made ior the contirmation of the report no one app@red to claim that he had not been tully heard, and it cannot be supposed that the suming was defective, All that was essential to the vi- lidity of the prosecution had been carried ont, The Commissioners were not authorized to determine whether or not this Was or was not the best route toat coul< be selected, ‘That was leit to the other Commis- sioners. It was enough tor them to determine that the Toad should be built, without determining whether any route would be better or more Jeasible, The law sim- piy required that they should report whether or uot the road should be built, and although im duing this they did state unnecessary conciusions, this should Bot be allowed to annul the report. Judge Daniels then’ goes on to recite that the restrictions men- tioned in the report of the Commissioners relative to the peculiar method of the construction of the proposed road was evidently tntended for the pub- ic good, and the owuers of property along the streets have no reason for complaint on this ground, The principal object to be secured 18 the construction of the railway in such @ manner as to produce the least pos- je public inconvenience and injury, and Judge ig thinks that the result cannot be secured in any xeept by the method adopted by the Commis- sioners, In conclusion, the Commissioners, he says, were not prohibited by the provisions of the constitution Jrom rejecting a part and accepting @ part of the route and connections of the proposed road. . In this regard some little flexibility should be given. The subject was sabinittea to the good sense of thé Commissioners, | to be determined by the best judgment they could ex- ercise, : OPENING DAY AT CREEDMOOR, The Creedmoor range wns opened yesterday by the soventh competition for the Luther badge, presented | to the Amateur Rifle Club nearly a year ago.
