Don’t covet the possessions of any man until you are willing to pay for them the price which he paid; then you will not need to covet them, for you can go and get them for yourself. It was Irving who said of a conceited man that whenever he walked toward the west he expected the east to tip up. In the general rage after antique furniture it is generally forgotten that the oldest article of the kind can be had at the cheapest rate—viz., the multiplica- tion table. A man whose ill temper is chronic is just like a camel. They both got their backs up when they were young, and they have remained in that condi, tion ever since, A good intention is very like a lady in a dead faint, If it is only carried out it will be all right. ‘There is one virtue possessed by the colored people of this continent which does not prevail among the whites. If you tell them secret they are sure to keep dark about it, A great many books have been written on the har- mony of the universe. Natural laws are consistent with each other, and when science classifies facts they agree with each other, Things furthest apart seemingly are really in perfect accord. Whats yap, for instance, between the science of dentistry and the science of grammar! And yet @ verb and atooth are both parts of speech, and their sympathy is some- times so absolute that both of them may frequently be called irregular and defective. There is perfect unity in nature if you only know how to find it. Not everybody has learned to take the things of life philosophically or how to save himself unneces- sary trouble. The old gentleman of ninety, however, who, atter a dangerous illness, was asked to get up, had found the secret, for he replied, ‘No, it’s hardly worth while to dress myself again.”” It may be a very hard thing to be tried by adver- sity, but how much harder to be tried by the County Judge! ‘The Catholics have the advantage of Protestants in some of their theological dogmas. They believe in purgatory, which is an exceedingly convenient stop- ping place, but Protestants are compelled to go turther and fare worse. ‘The man'who strikes his wife and afterward re- pents and takes her to his arms again can find but one song in the language with which to express his feclings. It is the one which begins, “Come to my bosom, my own stricken dear.” A mere suggestion is sometimes as satisfactory as adetailed statement, ‘How much did you pay for that hat?” asked a gentleman of a colored brother. “[ really don’ know,” was the reply, ‘de shopkeeper wasn't dere jess den.” No subject serves as @ target for the sharp shafts of wit like matrimony. The ladies sometimes say with becoming satire that the reason why they marry aman for his money is that thef can’t find a man who has anything else. This is plain prose, but an evident libel, The following lines are ou the other , and show that, in the language of Patrick Henry, there are blows to be received as well as blows to be given:— Waitt pride or bridogrootay Must the truth be told? Alas! it must. The bride is given away, ‘The bridegroom often regularly sold. Sensationalism in the Brooklyn pulpit has reached the onter edge of possibility at last. We thought a tow weeks since that when Talmago was describing the lower regions of New York life he had touched the basement story of iniquity, but he resembles a building which has as many stories under ground as above ground, He bas now gone down out of sight of most religious people and draws a crowd to hear him defend himself from the supposed charge of the gravest crime in the calendar, A Christian minister, a member of a respectable ecclesiastical body, using his pulpit for the retail of filthy gossip is s novel sight even in America, where nearly everything is tolerated. The little one made a beautiful answer without knowing it. “What! Kiss such a homely man as papa?’ said the mother,in fun. “Oh, but papa is real pretty in his heart,” was the reply. It is very hard for some people to admit that the doctrine of total depravity is true. They have so high an idea of human nature and they see #0 many noble and generous decds that the doc- trine scems to prove itself false. The difficulty, however, is that they do not look in the right place. ‘The depravity is there, snugly stowed away, it may | be, and hidden under a pile of good things, but still it is there. Take your position on s country road- side, from the branches of one of whose overhang- ing trees depends a hornet’s nest with a lively and enterprising population. Persuade the young and the old, the church members and the sceptics of the neighboring village, to pass that way, Stir up the hornets, get out of the way yourself, and watch for strictly theological results. Put down in your note book the first, the most natural expression of opinion, as cach passer by is stung, and then in the seclusion of your closet read over these exclamations in a whisper. ‘This little story, which shows how well a child can reason, is symbolical of a universal experience. “I think I know why I fell out of bed last night; it was because I slept too near the place where I got in.”” She was hardly satiafied, however, with that solution of the problem, and, after spending more thought on it, said, “No, mother, I gness after all it was because I slept too near the place where I fell out.” ‘The way in which the young heart recovers from the most lacerating sorrows is very peculiar, He was not yet out of his teena, but he had managed to fall in love, Some people are always on the edge of it, and at the slightest provocation tumble over. He had already mounted a hat and learned how to swing acaue, and spent a large part of his time in caressing that shadowy something on his upper lip which had not yet sufficiently defined itself to enable him to prophosy that at some time in the future it would certainly become a mustache. The stern, hard, grinding fact in his young life was that he cherished. a hopeless affection, It was neither the pa nor the ma who had for- bidden him the house, but the angel herself, who preferred to dazzle snother man’s eyes with the brightness of her wings and the length of her train. it was a maddening thought and he determined to drown himself. The burden of unrequited love was too mueh for him, An inky blackness spread itself over his future, so he went down to the pond to cut ® hole in the ice and drop himself into it. The fatal leap was taken—not, however, without a moment's hes- itation, during Which he wondered whether it would | pay after all. The moment he soused himself he con- cluded that the water was too cold for suicidal pur- | poses and scrambled out as quickly as he could. That evening he went to the minstrels and laughed at the jokes of the end men, Life still had attractions for him, and in two months he was writing poetry to the long eyelashes of another girl. Ah, the delightful ro- mance of our boyhood days! Still, we old folks have our compensation, for— You'll in your girls again be courted ‘Aud I'll go wooing in my boys. Great grief certainly does produce confusion of ideas, and the worst thing @ man can do under such circumstances is to attempt to write poetry, Let us illustrate :— She 2 ane # little seraph that her father, who is Realty’ docan't seem to care if he never smiles again. She has gone, we hope to heaven, at the early age of seven have pain, Aman may denounce infidelity in a spirit which is itself essentially infidel. David Hume once said to such a person, “You hope I shall be damned for want of faith, and I fear you will suffer the same fate for want of charity.” It often happens that a man is willing to pay 4 compliment, even when he is unable to pay his other debts. A compliment, however, may look like the honey of the bee and yet conceal the sting of the wasp. A certain lawyer was compelled to apologize to the Court. With stately dignity he rose in his place and said:—‘Your Honor is right and I am wrong, as Your Honor generally is.” There was a dazed look in the Judge’s eye, and he hardly knew whether to feel happy or fine the lawyer for con- tempt of court. Nothing could be more natural or proper, when & defaulting clerk fails to keep his accounts straight, than to send him to the House of Correction, It is unfair to make sport of the weakness of the other sex—i,e¢., the tongue. The last quotation in the way of abuse is from Tennyson:—“Men may come and men may go, but she runs on forever.” Religion even in its most diluted form has a cer- tain value. When the coachman was dying he con- soled himself because he had driven many 8 poor body to church, though he had never attended ony himself. A slight change seems to be gradually going on in the relation of parents to children, Time was when the father, in his ignorance, regarded himself as the head of the family, and had the audacity to give ar- bitrary orders to his offspring, not even saying, “If you please.” The days of such despotism are, how- ever, happily over. Offspring are no longer to be crowded into corner and deprived of their inalien- able right to do as they wish to. They have risen in successful rebellion against the servitude of centu- ries, and will probably consign the parental fossils to the shelf of curiosities where they belong. Asa kind of avant courier of the condition of affairs which will shortly appear is the following incident, which ought to serve as a warning to every father of a family not to interfere with the best interests of his children:—There was a funeral in the neighborhood, and it was expected to be as cheer- ful as a polite undertaker, whose oply object was to serve the public to the best of his ability could make it. It was certainly an opportunity for youth- ful refreshment not to be disregarded. The boy asked his father fora horse with which to attend. Instead of kindly loahing the beast and bidding the innocent boy speed on his way, and enjoy himself among the mourners of his own age, he harshly re- fused. Alas! he forgot that the good old times of despotism are over, and in order to impress that fact on the aged parent’s mind the irate boy, with an ir- repressible longing for independence in his heart, flew to his chamber, seized his gun, and nobly broke the chains of his servitude by shooting the old gen- tleman dead. The boy was cast into adungeon by the unappreciative officers of a grovelling public, which still labors under the fatal delusion that pa- rents have rights which their children are bound to respect. If the order should be given to “strike the lyre” nearly every man in the world would get ready to dodge or parry the blow. AMERICAN CHRISTIANITY TIALLY CATHOLIC. To THE Eprror or THE HenaLp:— In no less than four issues of the Hxratp the past week has this noteworthy fact been demonstrated. American citizens are disposed to bury Old Country issues, because the dead ought to be “‘buried out of sight,” as old Abraham said. American Christians not only ought, but will, if they are what they pro- fess to be, cease to rake up the ashes of old contro- versies, so long buried that they are resolved into nothing but ashes. In Tuesday’s Herap there was areport of a paper on the “Beast of the Apocalypse.” If Christians were ever catholic it was in the century next follow- ing the apostles, ‘An intelligent and devoted mis- sionary to France, then Gaul, born at Smyrna, nigh the apostie’s home at Ephesus, and only forty years after John wrote, states distinctly what he heard from those who had listened to John’s own explanation of his book, and such tes- timony as to fact is worth, of course, with a mind that seeks truth, more than all the fancies put forth by warring sects from the tenth to the nineteenth centuries. The beast that “came up out of the sca” enriched by its wealth, that “sat on seven moun- tains’ and that “reigneth over the kings of the earth,” was the “civil power” that by force inter- fered with the freedom of religious worship. Of course, Babylon, in the Old Testament times, as seen in the Assyrian Nebuchadnezzar commanding the worship of his image, and in the Persian Darius tricked into an edict that no one should worship any god but himself, was the type in that ancient day. In John’s day it was Rome; whose name, however, it would have been treason to utter. This power under ‘Tiberius martyred Jesus; under Claudius it mar- tyred James, John’s brother; under Nero it mar- tyred Paul and Peter; under Domitian it banished John to Patmos, and under Hadrian it built a temple to Jupiter on the site of Solomon’s Temple in devas- tated Jerusalem and raised an insulting shrine to Ve- nus on the spot where Jesus was crucified. Certainly when Irenwus, living at that very day, stated that he had learned from hearers of the apostles that “the anti-Christ,” who Paul declared was ‘to sit in the temple of God” and to claim “that he was God,” and the ‘beast’ of John’s revelation were the same power—whose identity was in the day of Ireneus illustrated at Jerusalem—it was not fancy, but fact that was stated. So the best scholars of the Oid Catholic Church—as John of Vienna, Austria, and Hug, of Constance, Switzerland—followed by Gexe- nius, the German Protestant; by Drs. ler and Whittingham, of the Episcopal Church of New York, and by Professor Moses Stuart and count- less ‘other Bible scholars of various denom- inations have agreed and are still coming more and more to agree. Of course, when the Roman Chureh, the English, German, Puritan or any other State Church has assumed that authority ond has repi by force freedom of religious worship, they have ae- cepted for themselves the “mask’’ it uot the “name” of the “beast.” But the people of America first, then of England, France, Germany and Italy successively, have taken away this power trom Christian churches, and Spain will yet follow. American Christianity is demonstrated to be true catholicity. * ‘The HxKALD has held the balance certainly in_ this controversy between General Grant and the Irish, and the Irish themselves have put the weight into the scales. It is only in America that party spirit could triumph in such a controversy. if any Ameri- can oceupyi igh position gives any ne preference to the Ohurch of his own choice the peo- ple will soon indicate the depth of their convictions as to the distinction between political and religious prerogatives. This case ix « crucial test that American Chr.stianity is catholic. ‘That certuinly was a graceful tribute from @ true Presbyterian to a true Catholic that a under the name of “Lrene: in the New York Observer of last week. It was a more graceful thing, it possible, that the Hematp should copy it the very next morn- ing after its appearance. The most promising, the most truly ing, proof that American Christianity ia truly catholic ix that the secular press is among the first to appreciate any real exhibition of this na- ture, The Nestor of the American religious preas be- of his namesake, the “Irenwus” of mtury, whose Asiatic-Greek culture was broadened among his Celto-Gallic associates. ‘The Henavp on Friday morning copied Pope Leo's Christmas encyclical allocution, It is, so far as quoted, such as to awaken an echo in response from every true Christian miud and heart. The “rule of reason,’ instead of ambition for pot place and fortune to the sucritice of the interests of others; the triumph of “the Christian spirit’ over Church an- tagoumuns, which among the most unlovely; the ‘return to Christ,” in place of rites or doginas; the peace with the Church,” if it include the “general assembly and Church of the spiritually born’ spoken of by John and Paul, and the recoguition that “the Churen is the guardian” of social and national mor- ality—these are the rally notes for # world-wide catholicity. The American secular fee in which the Hrnatn is a leader, will fulfil the highest mission to which it can be called if it continue to second such appeals, reporting also that they _ be met by the eumvuonal utterances vf, doubt dissent, ‘Tbe ESSEN- (Funeral starts off at cleven), where she'll never more | | G, W.

He felt the pressure of public opinion in his own church and out of it enough to make an explanation of his conduct last Sunday week, in which he declared that he objected to the machinery that they bring and not to the evangelists themselves, and that those who at- tended the services worshipped the evangelist much more than they worshipped God.

CONGREGATIONAL SINGING—-JEWS AND CONVER- SION--SERMON BY REV. DR. F, DE SOLA MEN- DES. In his opening remarks at the Forty-fourth Street Synagogue yesterday, Dr. Mendes congratulated his, congregation upon the progress made tow- ard congregational singing, owing to diligent industry and attendance at rehearsals. His ‘subject of discourse was the aversion of Jews to ),maaking proselytes, and he took for his text Isaish, xxvii., 6—‘In the future Jacob shall take root, Israel sball bad and blossom, and ‘they shall fill the face of the world with fruit,” with which he associated a verse from the Talmud, which stated the purpose of Israel's dispersion among the nations to be ac- quisition of proselytes. IsBAKL'S PROGRESS IN HISTORY. ‘The preacher referred to the fact that the lesson of that morning (Exodus, ii.) had spoken of the children of Israelasa nation. This people was predestined to be an instrument in the hands of the Al- mighty wherewith He should do wondrow work among the children of men, and, like the im- plement wielded by human hands, Israe] had to be | heated, forged and battered in the furnace and on the ‘anvil of Egyptian persecution, Dr. Mendes then ‘traced the various phases of Jewish history, noting the impetus toward learning the Jews received in the Babylonian captivity, which bore fruit in the diligent sttdy of the law when they returned to Palestine. ‘Then that mighty offshoot called Christianity was sent forth as a pioneer to level the way in the utmost confines of earth for the advent of the purer faith whence it sprang. As soon as this movement had started Israel was taken, like a handful of seed, and fi cast over the earth to — against the exag- gerations of which Christianity was soon to make itself guilty. Marching along the avenue of time with the law for their staff aud the burden of in- creasing years on their back, the children of Israel have kept lustrous eyes riveted on the promised goal, the acknowledgment of Judaism's principles by the nations of the earth. NOT IN SEARCH OF CONVERTS. The influence and prominence of our nation to- day, said the Doctor, suggests the ewployment of our power to push our mission with energy. It is an e of enterprise. Merchants visit halt civ countries to extend their opera- tions. In the spiritual world, too, our neighbors expend enormous sums to bring such light as they have to the benighted savages of remote island groups. Are we not criminal in our inertness, in our indisposition to follow this example? Gur creed is uot a proselytizing one; we seck mot converts. The causes for this sentiment the preacher considered to be five in number—liber- ality, dignity, cousiderateness of our creed, conti dence and moral example. We should have to look far to find « Legislature as liberal as our own toward the stranger. Aristotle and Plato deemed the foreigner, the barbarian, but half human and &@ legitimate object of plunder, Compare with this opinion of cultured Pagan mind the verse, ‘Like the native born shall be the stranger among you; thou shalt love him as thyself, for ye were stran; in Egypt.” (Leviticus xix). Judaism, in its ove of humanity fore sectarianism opens the portals of paradise to the pious of every creed. “The religious of e race havi ion in the world to come.” Judaism is conscious ot its dignity and desires that appreciation of its value should be unbiassed. While ready to instruct, it shrinks from winning souls, Next, it is not a welcome office to bid men submit to restrictions such as Judaism imposes tor the welfare of their moral nature. Not every man can be «8 Jew; not every one is endowed with the courage to be a sentinel on the ramparts. We shrink from enlisting new recruits for such arduous service, Then we lave consummate faith in the Deity and believe that uli the preparation ‘so clear in our history i# not in vain, Our uctive as- sistauce bas not been our mission will be fultilied without it. THE WEIGHT OF THR EXAMPLE. Lastly, there is a moral advantage in not secking converts. kxperience shows that conversionists relax their own discipline. Many preach but do not practice. This caunot be the case with us, for our —t is our practice. We teach not by words but by example, Louder than the Church militant is the speech of & moral lite. More lasting the lesson, “Do as we do,” than “Do as we say.” Me bides the time when Jacob shall take root im the hearts of mankind, Israel bud and blossom with the France of holiness and the earth be full of the fruits of Sinai’s code. At the close of his remarks Dr. Mendes alluded to the discovery made of two conversionists’ schools, where Jewieh children are enticed and taught the tenets of Christianity, The Hebrew Free School As- soviation, with commendable alacrity, will open a school in the neighborhood to counteract this undertaking. Dr. Mendes ap; for funds to sup- port this school, and after the service several sub- seriptions were volunteered from those who, if they beck not converts, at least desire to retain their own Jam be within the fold, BABYLON'S NEW CHURCH, The first Catholic church ever built in Babylon, Long Island, was finished yesterday, and will be opened for divine worship to«lay.

PAYING TO HEAR MASS. THE CASE OF THE YOUNG LADY AT FATHED BURTSELL’S CHURCH. The young lady who, according toa letter in the HeRacp of last Thursday, was ejected from a pew in the Chureh of the Epiphany, because she was unable to pay fifteen cents, was seen at her home yesterday by 4 Henaxp reporter. She 16 a gentle, modest ap- pearing young English girl, and she told her story a¢ ftollows:—“I went last Sunday to the eight o'clock mass at the Church of the Epiphany, and took a seat in the gallery. While I was there and preparing to hear the mass that followed at nine o'clock, as I was late for the former one, the doorkeeper or usher, or whatever you call him, came to me and said, ‘I want to clear this gallery.” Isaid to him that I had got to hear mass, and then he said, ‘Pay me fifteen cents.’ I replied that I didn’t have the money, and he cried out, ‘Then you must go out of here.’ at the same time putting his arm around my waist and ‘img me out of the pew into the aisle. Ithen lett the church and did not hear mass that day.” “Is it true that you said to him that you were not going pay that old pap fifteen cents to put in his ket “Oh! that’s a lie, I was too excited to say a word, I did not even open my ls 8, and as for the word “pap,” Idon’t know w! it means und never heard of it before, unless it means papa, and it is long ago since I used that expression.’ ‘The young lady’s mother, who happened to be present, said:—“I was treated in the same if not a ‘wo:se manner myself, I had only five cents and Tin- sisted on entering to hear mass, but because I wouldn't or couldu’t pay fifteen I was not alone turned out of the pew but flung out on the sidewalk. For a thing like that or for the outrage perpetrated on my daughter we could take an action for assault and battery, but we dislike all notoriety in this mat- ter and would only wish public attention might be drawn to it by somebody élae that the thing may be stopped. [have a family of four children, and it counts something on a Sunday for all of us to attend mass when the charge is fifteen cents s head, My daughter has not yet entirely recovered from the shock she received in boing treated so, After I had been turned out of the church 1 went to the pastor and said to him, ‘If I lose mass I don’t consider myself responsible.’ ‘Oh, that's all right,’ said ‘if you don’t think yourself responsible LEVYING TRIBUTE AT THE CHURCH DOOR. To rux Eprror or THE HeRaLp:— As the subject of “paying to hear mass” has been broached in your columns, I wish to relate the expe- rience of my wite. About four years ago she went in the morning to attend mass at St. Joseph's Church, on Sixth avenue, and took with her the sum of ten cents. The usher, on being proffered the dime, said, “G'wan” (go on), “g’wan now; you can’t come into the house of God for less nor fifteen cents;” and the lady bad to return and seek spiritual comfort at an- other temple of worship. crr. A TRAVELLER'S VIEWS ON FREE SEATS. Harem, Jan. 18, 1879, To rue Epiror oF THE HERALD:— Now that the question of the free seats in our Catholic Churches is agitated will you allow me tosay afew words in proposto? As an extensive traveller through the Continent of Europe I have necessarily seen and entered 4 great many churches, and have observed that these churches are as much for the poor as for the rich, Ihave resided for many years in New York city, but have never ceased to wonder, especially of late years, where the real poor class go to hear mass, In France and Italy the Catholic churches open their portals and invite lovingly to enter one and all, the beggar and the rich man, Here what a contrast is offered to our observation! In our New York churches it is the custom to crowd as many pews in as the ground space will uliow of and each pew carries on its face its own particular number. In Europe it is a rara avis to see any pews, ‘The churches are vast temples in which the people adore their God of position, but, knesling down in a corner or in the shadow of a vast pillar, are far more devout than they could be should they be constrained to occupy a pew and feel themselves obligea to one fixed position. thers is no payment for sest, and during six years’ residence abroad I have never, in one single instance, paid except in the Cathedral of Milan, when I bought a chair for one sou. In this city I never have had o seat without paying for it, and have always marvelled where the poorer class go to if they cannot pay fora seat. Ithink they stop away. Ido not think that ‘‘lruth” has overdrawn the picture in the Church of the Epiphany. I kuow that in the church where Tattend one cannot sit at any mass without paying. There are two collectio: first is for the payment of seats, the second for some- thing else. Will not it be a excel- lent plan to have one of your reporters take s turn and visit the different churches and flad out how many seats are free? ‘This would be a bless- ing to the poor, who could thereby ascertain where , they can hear mass without standing in the doom way. 4', Mr. Editor, you will influence this move~ ment it will indeed be s thing well done, Will you uscertuin it the poor—who have raised the Cathedral by their untiring zeal and subscriptions—will have free access to its interior? ing this you will confer a great favor on an Unbiassed reader and perhaps aid in eradicating an extensive evil. CRUSADERS BROUGHT TO GRIEF.. THREE TEMPERANCE ADVOCATES INDICTED FOR CONSPIRACY BY THE GRAND JURY OF PASSAIC COUNTY, N. J.—CURIOUS COMPLICATIONS ARISING OUT OF THE ENFORCEMENT OF THE Liquor LAW. ‘The Passaio city (N. J.) temperance crusaders havo come to grief. Arthur Greenwood, the leader of the movement, together with his two associates —Messrs, Horne and Meeker—have been indicted by the Passaic County Grand Jury, and the former was yesterday arraigned on a charge of having combined and conspired, with the two above named, to induce Henry Lieve, a Pas- saic saloon keeper, to violate the Sunday Liquor law. ‘The allegation is that these three entered Lieve’s saloon on Sunday, not long since, and or- dered dinners, While they were eating they asked if they could not have some ale to drink, and the un- suspecting publican, after some persuasion, fur- nished them with the malt liquor, whereupon they arose and went forth and made complaint and caused the man to be fined for a violation of the law. This is a test case and but one of many similar ones, Greenwood waa arraignod before Judge Barkalow, in the Special Sessions, In the same building Judge Dixon was holding court, hearing argument in the certiorari cases of twenty-two Passaic liquor dealers, who had been caught by Greenwood selling {legally and fined $50 each, He had come to the Court House€o look after these cases, when, to his surprise and consternation, he was arrested on tho indictment found. When arraigned he pleaded not guilty, and the legal adviser of the Passaic City Coun- cil, Mr, Stoutenboro, was offered as bondsman in the sum of $500. The Court could not accept Mr. Stoutenboro, and Mr. Greenwood was com to sit for several hours with the criminals, who were there to be arraigned for various mis demeanors., Mr. Greenwood, who appears @ very nice, cleanly gentleman, bit lis finger nails and his lips, and twirled his thumbs and tried to look unconcerned, but tt was largely a failure, Finally, when the Court was about to be adjourned, Judge = Barkalow comut his awkw: situation, and xaid he would accept Mr. Stoutenboro oo we until next Wednesday if Mr. yt oe would promise to have more satisfactory security at that time. Mr. Greenwood said he would do noth- ing of the kind, and talked back tothe Court. Still the Court would not go back on ite word; it would accept Mr, Stoutenboro until Ws , and then if other bail were not forthcoming there woulda be further proceedings. Thou Mr, Greenwood departed, ‘THE CRATIORARI Case, ‘The certiorari cases were argued at great length be. fore Judge Dixon, emivent counsel being employed by the liquor deasers, while the city was by its legal adviser, Mr. Stouteuboro. These caves aro peculiar, and stiract much attention, They did not originate in Sunday selling, but in selling without » licens. ‘The license ot these twenty-two dealers ex- pired, an they tailed to renew them, though still continuing to sell, ‘This was in July last. The City Council of Passaic thereupon og an ordinance authorizing any individual, at his own expense, to bring suit against unlicensed dealers in the name of the city, promising such individual $50 for each con- viction. Then it Was that Greenwood entered tho field and procured the arrest and conviction of twenty-two of the unlicensed, who wore fined $50 each before local justices of the peace, But Green. wood did not receive the $1,100, owing to the fact that the dealers eppen and, pending the certiorari proceedings, the city would net pay, Grave tnformalition are alloyed agatust the rave inform: are against the original ftps ed it being claimed, among other thine that he right of trial by jury was denied, and also that no appeal would be taken in tho usual way, and a resort to certiorari was all that was left, It is held by coun- sel for appellants that the city of Passaic cannot dele. qute its power to prosecute offenders to the first comer, that consequengly the prosecution was wit out authority, The counsel claimed that under t Greenwood proceedings the City Council had made it- violation of the law of which ne nye for the a) itself was author, which would be equivalent abolition of law, becanse of the ef of its thor to seek its violation. ‘This was in reference to the practice followed by Greenwood and his asso. clates of entering saloons and calling for liquors and then making complaint, ‘fhe Court reserved its decision for oue week.
