It was Carlyle who said, “Make yourrelf a good man, and then you will be sure thero is one rascal less in the world,” Many people try to get religion when St 1s too late in life to get anything else. They fi!l the worldly dish tull and give the Lord tne overflow. 1t does no good to break the looking glass because it roflects a homely face. Change the face, and then you won’t neod to change the glass. The trouble with most people is that there is too much friction in their tives, Religion is the oil that makes the whole. machinery move quieter and smoothly, You can get it anywhere. Lord Ashley’s prayer ought to be printed for general distribution:—*‘0, Lord, Thou knowest how busy I must be to-day. If 1 forget Thee, de not Thou forget me.’ ‘The Rev. Mr, Bott, of Philadelphia, has afforded us another opportunity to say something sneering about ministers. It would be a great pity to lose such a chance to have a little conversation on a forbidden subject. Wo can shake our wise heads at the clergy apd impressively deciare that they are uo better than they ought to be, though nobody ever said they were, Let us pick up 2 stone, take aim, and—but stop. We have somewhere heard this commandment :—“Let him that is without sin cast the first stone.’’? Drop the missile, for your chance is gone. A little common Sexse—not so common, after all—will show you that when a too! stumbles and falls be does not bring walk- ing into disrepute, but only warns bis brethren to walk very straight and keep a good lookout tor pitfalls, Dr, Slade bas retired fora few months from pubhe observation for his health. The Judge thought that a hittle active exercise would do him good. Slade says it’s all a cell, and thneBritish public agree with him, He has been out of honest employment so long, however, that bo will be new to his work fora while, Still, break- ing stones is easily learned, and may possibly cure the celebrated medium of bis tendency to catalepsy. Lon- don is rather a warm climate for that class of people, and in spite of its fogs, Dr. Lankester saw his way clearly, There arotwo or three other spiritualisis in Now York whose health would be benefited by a simi- lar trip across the stormy Atlantic, The Jewish Messenger very properly complains that too much is expected of ministers nowadays, It says that once on a time a mother, with a simple-minded daughter of thirty-five summers, once visited a rabbi, and asked bim it he would perform the marriage ser- vice for the above-mentioned ‘child’? without compen- sation, In the goodness of his heart the rabbi con- sented to forego the usual fee, She then turned conf- dentially and added, “Well, these two children are poor, and yet it 1s necessary at such times to have new clothes and to give alittle party. Will you be so good as to advance a few hundred dollars for these purposes and receive your reward in heaven?” Tne security ‘was so very indefinite and tho day of payment so far off that the rabbi bashfully declined making himeelf happy im that way The saddened motner led her gray-haired child out of the room with a feeling that mintsters are not all they should be alter all. The world is certainly a evid place to live in, and the clergy are growing mercenary to decline such invitations, Certain of the more thoughtful ef our philanthro- 8 are in agony of mind over the Chinese ques- They stand on the further edge of this genera, tion, and, peering into the tuture, pretend to great alarm. The door of emigration has been opened, and through the floodgates the Mongolians aro pouring at a terrific rate. Niagara is but a-quiet mill stream in comparison with the tidal wave of Chinamen that is about to overwhelm the country. They come with their carved ivory idols, their Joss houses, their fire- crackers, their cheap labor and their pigtails. What are wo to do with them? Just suppose the whole 400,000,000 should take it into their celestial heads to come over here and engage iu a Presidential contest! They would be like a swarm of locusts crawhng all over American institutions and eating up the bunting of the American flag, This ts certainly a dismal pros- pect; but, while an involuntary groan escapes us, we will not borrow trouble, Let the future take care of itself. Mr. Frothingham says of the ‘writings of Theodore Parker that they are “valuable for many days, but not precious for many generations.”” This is a very prowty epitaph on New England transcondentalism. It shines, but gives no heat, People may be carricd away by its glittering generalities, but when they come back to their sober senses they want something in the shape ot orthodoxy to.t1e to. Spicod food is well enongh as an entrée, but for a tegular diet there 19 nothing better ‘than the roast beef of honest corservatism. Mr. Griffis’ book on Japan and the Japanese throws a great deal of light on a very interesting subject. These people are essentially different trom their neigh- pors, the Chinese, and the only things they have in comunon are their olive complexion, their almond eyes andthe capillary attractions of a long queue. The Chinaman is solemn and gloomy in temperament in comparison with hie brother across the strait, The Japaneso 1 as light-hearted as a boy, fall of practical jokes, and givem to laughter and fun even in his old «age. He is progressive, too, and wants missionaries, an educationa! system, and railroads, anda public debt, and lager beer, like any other Christian nation. He is almost as shrowd in business as an American, never taking what ho cannot reach, always sted when he h: erything he wants and willing to make large profits on small sales or large profits on large sales, as the case may be. With such a phrenological development we may safely trust him to make his own way in the world. The Baptists are in a high state of theological ex- If the supply should give out they would become Congrega- tionalists by the force of circumstances, and clove communion would come to an untimely end. This would be a sad calamity, apd would check a contro. versy that has afforded employment to thousands of pugoacious Christians, Still we shall have more rain within a month, and then the quarrel will freshen like grass after a shower. There is one peculiarity of Mr. Tupper which wo cannot help admiring, viz, h’'s imperturbable good na- ture under trying circumstances. Several of our con- temporaries have gone mad in the vain attempt to scan his verses, and others have hope'essly lost tocir reasoa while trying to find out what the great poot means in some parts of his “Proverbia) Philosophy.’’ ‘That his married hfe, about wh ch he delights to talk, has been the ineans of perfect sanctification, making him happily indifferent to the lesser evi's of critical jibos and jeers, is very evident, Just think of that scrapbook which contains the witty hits of the last twenty yours and of the uproarious laughter which fills the Tupper home when it 1s brought out and read in instalments, Some men would weep and gnash their teoth, but M. F. T, takes it all as a joke. We Wish @ great many other people would write a “Pro- verbial Philoso; by,’ if it tends to such genial termper, Long live the poet who can afford to smile at his critics, A new era has begun, aod hereafier our cry will be Tapp, Tupper, Tuppest! Mothers-in-law are a constant source of mingled amusement and horror, TLo theme is never stale. Some ono remarked of Peter that he had a cheerful tomper, and it was at once accounted tor by the fact that his ‘‘wife’s mother lay sick of a fever.’ Logic is logic, and its conciusious are inevitable, Thero 18 nothing like practice to prove protession true. Men who pretend to believe, but who only half believe, alwaya shirk, It 18 characteristic of the ani- mal. If, on the contrary, your convictions are strong you will roll up your sleeves and help some one. Theological blunders are sometimes peculiarly an- fortunate, Two ladies were recently at a dinner party The busband of one was dead and the spouse of the oun asin Ind, The wrong one leaned on the arm of tieman who was loading her to the feast, She rematkea that it was very hot. ‘‘Yes,’’ be replied, hoping to make bimeeit agreeable, “but not balf as hot as the place to which your busband has gone."’ He discovered too late that he was talking to the lady whose husband was dead. THE PROTESTANTS IN SPAIN. Last month the Execative Committee of the Evan- gelical Allianco of the United States appointed a com- mittee consisting of Drs, Prime, Samson and Abbott, of this city, to express the sentiments of the alliance on the lato action of the government of Spain toward | dalned pti Protestant Christians in that country, copy of such expression in the han nd to place a of the United States Minister to Spain, Hon. Caleb Cushing, and to cause the same to be published. The committee sab- mit that tho mgbt to worship to the dictate of tho lividual conscience, without interfering with the rigtts of otuera, has been truced to procedents universally recog- nized, and is now embodied in futcrnational taw; ‘and for this reason the right now askod ior im Spain ig God aecord, acknowledged by the most intelligent nations, and ts { incorporated, in eome form, into their fundamental law. Experience bas proved that no danger to the State arises from the concession and exercise of thin right; tbat such liberty of worship is 00% incompat- ible with ap established religion, The committee give | expression to the paintul solicitude that has been | caused here by the recent decree of the Spanish gov- ernment oppressive to and repressive of Protestant public worship; they cite the tolerance that is shown to Roman Catholics in Prote: rep- resent to the Spanish government and to the world that it 1s not im accord with the acknowledged rights of humanity, nor with the civilization of the nor with the customs of other uations, por with the spirit of the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ, to restrain hberties of Protestant Christians as long as those liber- tes are so used as not to interlere with the rights of others and the peace and good order of the State. The paper concindes with an earnest expression of sympa- Uny to our Protestant fellow Christians in Spain, assur- ing them of our prayers that they may have 4g given unto them to bear with patience the afflictions which will endure but fora little; thas they submit themselves withort resistance to the powers that be, looking unto the King of saints for their verance;, d that in all things they give to those who oppress them occasion to admire their obedience to law, so far ‘as that can be rendered with a good conscience toward CHURCH CONGRESS. Next week the Episcopal Church Congress will open in Boston. The exercises will commence with the ad- ministration of the Lord’s Suppor on Tuesday morning, the 14th inst, after which Bisbop Paddock, of Mass ebusetts, will take thochair as prosident, A few years ago, when the Church Congress was first called for bere, the bishops, with a few exceptions, held aloof or frowned upon the euterprise. Bishop Potter even went so farasto prohibit its meeting in his diocese. But 1t was held here, nevertheiess, and ueither the Bishop nor the congress were burt a bit by the pro- ceedings. 1: isa perfectly innocent but eminently worthy gathering of ministers and laymen of the Church to discuss matters of interest not merely to their own denomination but to the entire Church of Christ. This will be seen in the names of the speakers and the topics which are to be discussed. For tastance, on Tuesday, Dr. Os- good, of this city, ana Mr. C, C. Perkins, of Boston, will read essays on ‘The True Place of Art in Chris- tianity,”’ and Professor Weir, of New Haven, and Dr. J. H. Hopkins, will discuss it. Drs, John Cotton Smith and John N.

Greer and Jonathan Eagar, and verbally by the Right Rev. William W. Niles, D..D., Bishop of New Hamp- shire, and the Right Rev. H. B, Whipple, D. D., Bishop of Mimnesota, This is the most denuminational topic jo the series, and it 1s one to which the attention of the Church has’ been directed for years Ministers and people feel the need of « more flexible servico and discretionary power to be given to the former. tia timely topic and one that the next General Convention should consider maturely and act upon intelhgentiy and calmly. Friday will close the sessions of the cou- gress, when papers will be presented by Dr. Tyler, tor- merly Superintendent of the McLean Asylum, and H. ‘A. Hortt, M.D., on the ‘“Preveution aud Care of Drunkenness’—than which a more practical and timely subject could not have been selected by the com- mittee. ‘Tho Rev, R, Heber Nowton, vf this city, and Dr. Shattuck, of Boston, will discuss it orally. “Revi- vals and Christian Nurturo” will bo presented by the Rey. Richard Newton, D. D., and the Right Rov. Will- jam C. Doane, D. D., Bishop of Albany, It will be discussed by the Rev. Artnur Brooks and the Rev. C, Maurice Wines. We look forward to an interesting session of this Church Congress ‘and hope tho time may soon come when such gatherings shall uot be confined to the Protestant Episcopal Charch alone, but will be shared im by other lovers of Christ and His cause here, ORTHODOX UNIVERSALISM. ° THE CREED OF THE AMERICAN FBEE CHURCH— ITS CLAIM FOR FELLOWSHIP WITH OTHER CHBISTIAN CHURCHES. ‘To some ears it will sound very strangely and to some eyes seem oddly to task or write about Universalism and Orthodoxy as ifthey were in any sense related or had any affinity with cach other, But it is to receive demonstration and recognition in this city to-day. It will be remembered that halt a year ago the Rev, Charles P, McCarthy left the Bleecker street Univer- salist church, charging it, and in some sense the entire degominativn, with tnfidel propensities and tendencies, He has been preaching in the Univorsity Building to such person would hear him ever since. His en- terprise has met with such success thatthe ‘‘A:ner- fean Free Uhurch” will be recognized to-day as a cburch of the Lord Jesus Christ, the sacrament will be udministered and a Sunday school, which has been organized, will be opened with Mr. and Mra Biddle as superintendents, apd Mr, Eamuod Millen as secrotur; The ladies of the church and society have undertaken to look after the financial inter of the enterprise, so that Mr, McCarthy, upon whose shoulacrs thie burden has rested for six months, will be released to attend to his purely ministerial duties. It isthe purpose and hope of the church to get within the so-called orthodox fold, if possibic, or at least to give its orthodox neigh- bors a fair chance to treat it as acharch ot God. And for this reason a cuuple ol weeks ago it adopted a “creed,” of which the following are the salient points :— F belief in one living and true God, Creator and all men to be saved;” xecond, belicf in Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of the Saviour of men, who ‘tasted death for every man,” rose again from the dead, thereby ‘demonsirating the truth of a life be- yond the grave, and that in Him all the fulness ot “ the Godhead bodily was manifested; also belief in the Holy Spirit, in the inspiration of the Scriptares and the supernatural character of tbe Ciristian religion, to- gether with the miracles of Christ and ail else con- tained therein, Aud, turthermore, a belief that God, being the righteous governor of the universe, will ren- der to every man according to his deeds tribulation and anguish upon every soul of man that docth evil; and that he that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong he hath done, and, “though vand join in band, the wicked sbull not ‘go unpunished.” Finally, a belief that the utmost freedom and liberty of thought on all minor questions of doctrine and interpretation should be cul- tuvated among all classes of Christians and that the dis- puted dogma of endiess torment after death should pot be made the cause of acrimony or division among = believers in Christ of coosidered in any sense a test of membership and Christian stand. iny. Moreover, that all who believe in and Jove the Lord Jesus Curist tn sincerity and truth, and who are secking to live upto His lie and light, are wortny of membership in soy true Christian church. Copies of this creed are to bo sent out this week to every Christian pastor in this city with a request that they shall each express an individual opinion woether it contains so fatal adefect usto bar the church the fellowship and of sister churches. Leaving out the disputed doyma of endless punishment, which is a matter that belongs wholly to God, there if nothing in the creed that the siraltest eect of the Puritans might notsubscribe to, And this | dogma, whether right or wrong, #0 long as the point cannot be definitely settled, should not be made a bar to Christian fellowship and good brotherhood, MINISTERIAL MOVEMENTS. ROMAN CATHOLIC. Last Monday was appropriately obseryed by the Catholic priests and people of Brooklyn as the twenty- third anviversary of the consecration to the episcopate of Bishop Loughlin. Tne Rev. Josoph Cunane, of St. Mary’s Seminary, Baltimore, sailed for Eurupo last woek to complete his education at the Collego of the Propaganda, Rome.

That was a peculiar bonfire which the Episcopalians of St. Paul’s church, Hobuken, lighted W days ago in froutof their building. Four years ago the debt and its interest amounted to about $25,000. At tbat UUme thé vestry met to consider whether they would permit the creditors to take the church property (whieh bad cost over $40,000), or call a rector and make a last effort to live. ‘They wisely decided to call a@rector, since that time the church editice has been completed, at a cost of $6,000, and the debt has been reduced to the sum of $5,000. Hence they coilected 20,000 worth of cancelled bonds and made a “bond- in front of the church, And now they are going rve the other $5,000 in like manner. eburch shows the true grit, and deserves to succeed as it has done. In 1842 there were in the territory now included in the diocese of Virginia 82 churches. 65 ministers in charge and 3,882 communicants.

A SET BACK TO KATIONALISM—THE INSPIRATION OF HOPZ IN IMMORTALITY ENFORCED BY DR, HUEBSCH. The large. congregation that gathered yesterday in the wogue in Lexington avenue and Fifty-dftth street to hear Dr. Huebsch were not disappointed. His discourse was One of those eminently practical oucs designed to counteract tho sceptical or rationalisiic tendencies of the times with which, it may be, somo ot bis people are more or less insympethy. His text was taken from Isaiah ili., 10, ll—‘Say ye to tho mghteous that it shall be well with him, for they Hh eat the iruitof their doings, Woe unto the wicked, it shall bo ill with bim, for the reward of hie bands shall ve given him.” This Scripture, the Doctor re- market, 1s moré true than we aro aware or are per- haps willing to concede in our daily iife, for the fruit of their doings shall they, the wicked, eat, Our whole Ife iu its daily events is nothing more than the reflex of Jaith, The brighter that life shines the brighter the reflex, and the more dim faith becomes the toore dark and gloomy become tho seculer affairs of life. Some per- sons think tha eat principles of religion are but holiday garments, to be put on for stated occasions, but of little account at other times, This is a mintake, They are the working garments for everyday life, to 3 jow conducting re- in Central Metho- protect us from the colds and heats and the unchang, ing winds of the moral atinosphere—the shifting opin- | jons of the commanity. Take, for instance, the beliof in iwmortality—the happy hereafter, Has that noth- ing to do with our daily life? It has very much, De We not need hope and the inspirations of hope at every step in oar life? Do not the sick and the dying need hope and a hope of the hereafter? There is some” ng in the brea every human being that hopes, that must have scope for the exercise of 11 longings and aspirations. And spall we say thai while men have bope here that hope expires with | their mortal ile? We can’t admit it, The hears of humanity repels the idea and revolis against the doe. trine. But from wnom did man learh to hope? He | migut have learned io carry vurdeus trom beasts of | burden; he might have learned ideas of industry from | the bee or the aot, orarehitecture from the bird or the | bee, but neither iusect por bird bor beast could have taugbs bim tb hope. It is something that nature could not have imparted to him, Outward things do not toach us to hope. ‘They do not inspire this quality in man, To be sure, Job says tbearee hath hope, but man, where is be? These words of Joo’ are not th last words iw the Bible, and even Job adds exultingly, “I know that my Redeemer liveth ” This suows that the bopo of immortality is in the human neart, and the refiex of this is that hope | manitested in our daily life and in our transactions with our fellow men. And still there are many men | who would extinguish the great hope in the heart of humanity—the belief in the immortality of the soul; the belief in the hereafter, They would, if they could, wipe it out her from ‘human consciousness. But still men hope the same as ever. Philosophy teaches that If you cut away the roots the branches will wither, and if we want to have bope we m lieve in hereatter and in the soul’s immorti Otherwise naught but darkness and gloom exist for us, Now, I bave tha Croton water in my honse, said the Doctor, and | can draw on it whenever I please, are not the means | by which it is brought to my home of minor conse- | quence? And what would you think of the water purveyors who would allow that element to become so | Scarce that it would disappear first trom one floor aad | then from another, and who sbould then tell you to be | careful of the rest ‘and not wash yourselves too oiten | lest you waste ity You see at once th | look out for the scarcity of water is befor it the time to thy scarcity comes, and the time to lay hold of tbe hope of tmmor- tality is before you go tnto the herealter, Now, every | cup of lite’s joy ie drawn from religion. There 1s no | Joy tn hfe that 1s not PRODUCED BY RELIGION, And can we eujuy the gifts of religion and yet neg- lect or ignore iis source? If we would have the waters of salvation im abundance we must guard well tbe fountains and the streams thereot. The spring 18 not, however, in ourselves, bus is away in the distance—in Gud, Or, take another illustration. After a mau has gathered in his harvests and fraits do you think he would be foolish envugh to say, “Why cau’t | have fruits without trees and harvests without tilling or sowing the ground?’ and straightway cut down bis fruit trees and Coase his planting? He would not realize his mistake and bis luas until he had exhausted the contents of his storehouse and granary. But, then, as be looked for the barvest and tho orchard, whose fruits were to re- plenisn th he would realize too i: perhaps, that his mistake or his neglect was fatal. Even 60 Wil it be witb the man who torows away bis hope of imwortality and rans after an ethical or philosophical phapiom, Tiis picture ought to enublo us to under- stand the rationalistic tendencies of our times and the consequent miseries thereof. Our men remember the fathers that taught them religion, and our women ‘Weep as they romembor the mothers from whom they first received the inspirations o! religious hope. Even | those who now fight against religion—they learned | better in other davs. But wow they look upon the rich harvests which faith and bope havo produced, and they think they can baveas good harvests without those grand inspirations as they have bad with them, But in the production of results { THK LAW OF MORALS corresponds to that of physics, and the man who does ot sow and plantcan’t gather aud reap nor till his barns with the traits of the carth, nor bis soul and lite with the riches of faith, And suppose the rationalistic policy should prevail; the time might come when the world woult want men to battle with infidelity, and where would they come from? The picture of whut exists now in part, but what will certainly exist in a depiorabie degree it the sceptical counsels of some teachers thrive and bring forth the hoped for harvests, is uptiy described by Solomon in Proverbs, xxxii, Rightcousness and the faith and hopo that ‘1 speax of has produced and will continue to produce a love—love to rents and children, to frionds and fellow men, d above all, to God. But godliness has produced and must ever produce all those cold sentiments that ure here pictured by the wise man. If you want those to prevail, sald the Doctor, go and destroy the trees of love in your home and in’ your hearts; but if you do not want sueb fruits, cherish the faith and hope which religion gives and keops fresh In the soul, THE EAST RIVER BRIDGE, Yesterday morning the great “foot bridge cable,” the stretching of which involved even greater earo and labor than its predecessors, was finally secured in its place at the New York anchorage. On Friday night it was carried about half way between the anchorage and tbe tower, and yesterday all that remained to bo dono on the New York side was to connect with tho anchorage and secure the cable im the socket in- tended for its reception. The process of securing the cable Is a peculiar and interosting one, A heavy troa bolt is screwed to iron bars, anchored inthe masonry. This bolt ts hollowed out in cone end of the cable is passed throug! ravelied and stretched apart. Then iron pins, wedg shaped, are driven between the stranas, ar coued and interlaced around these pin: od finally a mass of molten lead is poured into the ‘space so as to fill up the interstices, Nothing but the bursting of the fron socket can then displace the cable, for the greater the strain the greater the resistance. | Yesterday afternooa preparations were made at the Brooklyn, side to carry the other end of the cable to the Brooklyn anchorage on Mongay, The; manila rope is already tastened to the great cable, and on Monday morning the work of raising the ‘bight’ to the top of the towor will be commenced. About one o'clock yes- terday a scow arrived at the Brooklyn pier containing another 25;-tnch cable, the stretching of will occupy the workmen for the week to come. took just forty minutes to unload the reel, whieh, 1 View ot its enormous woight—46,160 pounds—was marvellously expeditious, Mr. Farrington and Chief Engiveer Martin expressed themselves as highly grati- fled with tho progress of the work, and anticipate to put tho foot-bridge in position before January. Ihe | work on the bridge proper will of course depend upon | the ability of the manufacturers of the wire cables to supply them as required. REAL ESTATE.

Tweed and Peter B. Sweeny at the Bar of Justice. Much politics and tne judiciary should be disassociated, the fact is patent und doubtiess will con tupue so as long as our judges are elected, that the oc- currence of ap important election, and more particu. larly an exciting Presidential election like the present, willcause a temporary diminution of activity In the courts, During the past week there have beeg no trial terms beid in any of the branches of the State courts, and the probability is that the courts will not get into full active operation again until after election day. ‘the November term commences to-morrow, when all the courts will convene, but it Very doubtful whether much business will be trans. feted in them, as the majority will, doubtless, adjourn FY until after the excitement of election day, whem the great pablic pulse, in 1ts present feverisn heat, subsided to a normal condition, will render judges and lawyers better fitted to enter upon the pressing duties of what promises to be an unusually busy term. Foremost in importance of casea awaiting trial is that of IX A, Wooa- | ward, the great “go-hetween’? im the | palmy days of the King v¢gime, It 1 expected that he will be arraigned in the Court of Oyer and Terminer, which convenes at ten o’clock A. M. to- morrow, with Judge Brady on the bevch. It 18 not likely that anything turthor will take place beyond big Orraigninent and fixing the day of his trial. During tho month it is expected tnat William M. Tweed, should he happily be brought again to our shores om board the Frankiin, already so provokingly dilatory 1u its arrival, witl be brought into this Vourt t@ answer to the various indictments for forgery which bave been found against him = im connection with the great iting — robberia: Meuntime, whethor Tweed arrives or not, hia trial i@ the $1,000,000 suit is wotdown for the 15th inst., betore Judge Westbrook, as also that of Peter By Sweeny to recover $7,000,000, which he is charged with having {traudulently obtained from the city treasury asono of the leading spirits in the Ring frauds, There are no other triala of special puvlic interest oa ‘the court calendars, except the suitot Francis D. Moulton aga: Henry Ward Beecher, the trial of which the counsel of the Plymouth pastor ate moving heaven and earth to have transferred trom this county to one of the northern counties of this State, the decision to this eflect not having yet | been given by Judge Westbrook, before whom it waa ral weeks since. An important trial 1s also perior Court calendar brought by Rufus Hatch and Sidney Dition against the Pacitic Mail Steamship Company. But for that matter there are full calendars 10 all the courts, the cages awaiting trial embracing ull the varied points of controversy cha! terizing civil litigation, ‘The Supreme Court, General Term, will meet on the 15th inst., to render decisions on cases argued during be last term, and beyond this there will be no sessions of this Court during this month. As usual, Chiet Ja tice Davis and Judges Brady und Daniels will presia Jadge Lawrence will hold Chambers, Judge Barrots Supreme Court, Circuit, Part 2: Judge Donohue Su- prome Court, Circuit, Part 3, and Judge Van Vorst the Special Term. In the Superior Court Judge Speir argued si that on the $ will hold Special Term, Chiet Justice Cure tis Tal Term, Part 1, and Judge San- ford Trial Term, Part 2 Ybere will be no session of the Gencral Term until next montn. In the Court of Common Pleas Chief Justice Daly and Judges J. F.

Both branches of tho Court of General Sessions will convene to-morrow, Recorder Hackott presiding over Part 1 and Judge Suth- eriand over Part 2, Recorder Hackett will charge the Grand Jury. During the term Charles E. Beckwith will be tried on further indictments for alleged em- bezzlement from the cuntiding B. T. Babbitt. Antes, in whose case the jury disagreed, will probably be brought up for a ‘second trial. Notwithstanding seven hoinicide cases were disposed of in this Court during the last term there other cases of simular character still awaiting ¥ part of which will tried here and part in the Oyer und Terminer. Parties indicted for election frauds will also be brought to speedy justice, their cases either being tried 1n the Sese sions or tho Oyer and Terminer. DECISIONS.

There was much surprise among tho bondholders ia this city of the Kansas Pacific Railroad, occasioned by the announcement in the Heratp of yesterday that some local court in Kansas had appo:nted receivers ot the company’s property. Mr. Jobn A. Stewart, of thie city, the sole resident trustee of the first mortgage bondholders, had telegraphed to St. Louis on Tharsaay last requesting an adjournment for tea days in the nomination of receivers to enable the bondholders ta express their wishes as to tbe custody and adminis tration of their property, Yesterday « telegram | arrived from St, Louis stating that the spplication would be made at Topeka, in Kansas, at the instance of Mr. Upshur, the attorney for the stockholders, and iappears that the parties selected by him are the same officials and floating dobt claimants whom the bondholders were so anxious to avoid. Upon tl announcement of this action some of the bondholders prepared a paper for signature by their fellow creditors: requesting Mr. Stewart and the other trustees of the mortgage to enturce their rights as trusteos for the | protection of the bondbolders and to secure the adininistration of the property in a mai nos hostile to the bondholders, aod ulso to have the prop- erty protected by the United States courts. Io their juual report for the year ending January 1, 1876, the | directors of the road admit that it has earned $1,572,890 over and above operating expenses. The votal interest on $15,000,000 of first mortgage bonds of ail the diferent would bo only a fraction over 900,000, Of this amount the bondholders bad agreed Ww take one-half, but even this proportion remai unpaid. The carcings of 1874 and 1875, above ail Penses, ace more than $3,250,000, according to tI official statements. The total amount of debs is neariy $21,000,000, including the income bonds of $4,725,000, on which no interest i payable except whon declared by the direciors, thus leaving @ mort- goge dobt on the main line ana’ Leavenworth branch about $16,700,000.
