SLEIGHING AND SKATING ee: Tens of Thousands Enjoying the Sab- bath on Snow and Ice, In spite of a very perceptible thaw yesterday's sleighing was the best New Yorkers have enjoyed in years, and it is safe to say that they were not slow in availing themselves of its delights. Of the 200,000 people who made an early start yesterday morning full four-fifths were bound to one of three places— church, Central Park or Prospect Park, in Brooklyn. The prophets had announced fair weather, and, al- though in the first hours of the day the damp clouds threatened snow, the broad avenues beyond the Park and the well packed drives within the Park itself of- fered entertainment more attractive than the averaye Gothamite could resist. Hence a throng, a crowd, a rushing multitude of eager-eyed men and red-cheekea women, all sanguine of a day’s sport which no police- man’s whistle could subdue, THE PARK APPROACHES, Although the snow brigade has cleared away thou- sands of chilly tons from some of the narrow streets down town the approaches to the Park are yet blockaded, hemmed in and railed off, as it were, by huge heaps of dirt and snow, some of which extend for blocks and blocks, broken here and there by a zarriage cut in front of # private residence. The street railroads have made sad work on Sixth, Seventh aud Kighth avenues, where the snow ploughs, aided and abetted by an army Of shovellers, have barri- caded the corners, making it a matter of skill and science to drive around them. On the right hand and on the left piles, or rather winrows, of heaped up snow stretched the long length of the streets, rendering the passage of two vehicles at any given point an impossibility. Through these lanes, narrow and deep with lumpy snow, all sorts and kinds of sleighs, from the light and airy cutter to the ponderous bired vehicle, sped from morning till night and jingled the bells of winter sport long after the clock in the tower struck one. ‘There was no pretence of official prepar- ation in ali the city. As the snow fell it lay upon the ground, except where it interfered with the surface roads, and there it was recklessly and rudely pushed from the iron rail, heaped in the gutter or piled upon the pavement. On Fifth avenue, where, ‘es yet, there are no ties or cars, the fast going run- ‘ners had beaten the snow somewhat into shape; but even there the ups and downs of life were aptly typi- fied, and many a sleigh encountered the rub of out- rayeous fortune that upset its equilibrium and scat- tered its human load upon the street. IN THE MORNING. It is a popular deivsion that itis “the thing” to take the air in the afternoon only. Ifthat be so hun- dreds and thousands of New Yorkers are already on record as against “the thing,” for by noontide yes. terday the several lines leading to the Park were well filed, and scores of New York sleighs stood at the gates of the ferries leading to Brooklyn and to Prospect Park. It may be open to doubt whether the custom of butcher boys and grocers’ clerks exercis- ing their masters’ “knitting needles” on fine Sunday mornings is condncive to the moral growth of the boys or the happiness of the horses, but there can be no doubt of the fact of their appearance in full feather yesterday morning. Where all the “pungs,” sleds, cheap sleighs and so-called cutters came from was a mystery, ‘There they were, however, and although but fow of them cayortcd in the Park itself they kept the avenues lively, and excited visible apprehenstons in many an otherwise calm and sober breast. It was also noticed that sundry family sleighs, having duly deposited the heads of the family ut the church door, were, later on, doing duty for the younger members of the family, and adding their quota to the noisy « merriment of the Park. IN THE AFTERNOON. “This beats all,” said one of the Park gatemen. “Why, in all the thirteen years I've been here I never gce such a pourin’ in.” “Do you mean there are more s'eighs ?” “Yes, and more peopie, and more general divil- Sundays didn’t use to be much of a driving day, and it you'll take the pains to look in the faces of thos day, asa rule you'll iks from those who hk Frank Work, Lindsay, Kearney, , with their recorded flyers, are not seen on Sundays is a fact; but there are hundreds of weil kuown horsemen who never permit a day, the first or any other, to pass without a trip behind their favorite teams. And many & horse whose owner is known by name simply because he is the possessor of a noted speeder takes its constitutional in the Park und down the road on Sunday as woll as any other day in the week. Yesterday was an exceptional occasion. In the first place the heavens were peacefully, beautifully blue, and the air was undisturbed by ‘the faintest breeze. Light overcoats were ample protection to pedestrians aud furs were by no means essential to the comfort of drivers, 1t may be doubted if there was a chilled nose or a benumbed thunrb on the entire island, and every horse drenched his hide with profmsest per- spiration, With such a day who could resist the temptation of a drive over well packed snow? The humps and bumps and awkwerd mazes of avenue driving were endured in patience in view of the joys ahead, and when the smooth pathways of the Park were reached quick chirrups started off the nags and the tun of the day began. SCENES IN THE PARK. ‘That there should be first class sleighing ona warm aud spring-like day was tact aiforded those ‘who ¢ perforce were com- pelled to be lookers-on in the speedy Vienna ample opportunity to witness in comfort the amateur Tacing and roystering rollickings thac characterized even the most decorous ot.the throng. The bronze statue of Daniel Webster looked down on a current of fast going trotters, with distended nostrils, pointed ears and waving tails, ‘The Indian and the Union soldier, crowned with virgin snow, at- tracted no attention from the merry crowd. Both sides ot the Park were lively, and the sweep about the ervoir was a kind of hippodrome ring, where thoroughbreds put their best legs foremost and tom d ew Yorkers cracked their whips. The Mall toraed hospitality to thousands. The Casino and the bridge: packed. In the sheds, back of the That the | p Mount St. Vincent, there were 150 sleighs of various trades at six o'clock, The parlors were filled with jadies and their escorts, and the occasion resembled a rue day in the Jerome Park Club House. The long, deep pizzas looked as they do on an autumn day. Men prominent in public and official life sat and smoked and chatted as the flyers passed along the road be- youd teow! hill. Mac day in the past three months has ween such a gathering, and e ee Osygen oe tae Lf a very one seemed full of In vai the gray-coated policemen shouted, “Go slow in vain they breathed official warnings shrough their willow whistles; in vain endeavored to catch tho tant-pulled bridles of offending drivers, lorses Wotld yo fast and drivers would pormit them to have their own wild way, in spite of curves, _men, Sunday and all, There were mang really clegunt turnouts on the drives, but the lithe, cutters were numerically largely in the asce: backed, Quaker-cut sleighs, with dark robes, were Lumbrous, and @ great, many family conveyances, containing three seats, were seen in the line, WHERK THR FUN LAY, But while the Park affords much comfortable leasure tho real fun—side splitting, old fashioned, “fun—can best bo enjoyed, as it was on this ion, Deyoud the limits of tue Park, on the bi raight, snow-clad avenues, St. Nicholas and Jerome aventtus—boulevards, in fact—were in tiptop condi- tion.

INCIDENTS AND ACCIDENTS, That there shoukl be an occasional brushhea; where there were so many “brushes” and sue! chances for ‘heaps’ is not a matter of surprixe. perf the men who drive on the road are ex- ports with the lines, but on Sunday, and eapecially when snow is on the ground, there are hundreds if not thonsands of hired teams, and hundreds of drivers, who know as little of horsefiesh and horse harness as they know of the electric light or the im- mortality of the som At @ Little or three o'clock = well known broker, behind Aa sorrel cot, was making good time in @ wovg line of steppers, when @ lyn NEW Y palitisien, with a bay mare, gave him one of those acit but understandable challenges that stir the breasts of most conservative men. Both horses sprang to their utmost, From 13vth street to 116th | strect they made superb time, attracting the atten- tion of every one, the drive being kept clear by uni- versal care. Just ax they reached 115th street astout party in a large sleigh, well wrapped up and very hobby in apparel, unfortunately pulled the wrong rein and traversed the avenue so as to muke a col- Vision certain, In less time than it tukes to tell it the broker's horse was on top of the nobby | man’s team, ‘The latter struggled and kicked and | upset the large Sleigh; the nobby party was | rammed, fur cap first, in a snow heap, and several | scores of interested sports yathered around, picked up the pieces, soothed the animals and induiged in lang not in accordance with the character of the | aay, Another horse broke a rein and started at a ait up St. Nicholas avenue. After he had jis cutter, demoralized his driver and scared out of hundreds of people, the animal quietly turned up toward the High Bridge Hili, and was captured by a negro tramp, not half a yard m the residence of Mr. Samuel G. Courtney. The crowd at Lambert's club house had a bad fright when # bay and gray cross team of unusually fine action were seen running at the top of their speed, dragging a single-keated black fin- ished cutter turned upon its face. Fortunately, al- though the horses were greatly excited, they turned instinctively toward the sheds, and there, in spite of their plunging and kicking, were quieted and soothed by Ed. Gilmore and several couchmen who were standing there. It was learned that the team had been taken out for the first time in three weeks by Mr. Aitken, of Thirty-fourth street, and, excited by a gong of sportive youths who found pleasure in yell- ing and screaming at every passer-by, took the bits in their mouths, ran against @ snow heap, overturned the sleigh, spilled Mr, Aitken in the yielding slush and then worked out their own swect wills, Nobody hurt, but everybody scared. SKATING IN THE PARK, But, jolly, bright, gay and frolicsome as were the hurrah-boy crowda in the Park and on the boule- vards, it may be doubted if there was any greater sport there than there was on the large double lake, where seventy or eighty thousand boys and men en- joyed a less expensive amusement. In one sense, as a crowd is always a crowd, so a skating scene is al- ways a skating scene; but, after a), yenterdiay’s scene was in some respects different trom any that preceded it. There was a larger proportion of boys than usual, and the mild weather induced inany girls and women, who have heretofore been deterred by the cold, to try the ice, Badly as it was cut on Saturday there was nothing left yesterday to be desired. The ico was perfect and the attendance immense. Everybody was good natured. There are alwaye hundreds and hundreds of persons on the lake who have no skates, and who seriously impair the pleasure of those who desire to skim the glassy suriace. ‘There was a tre- mendous gathering on the ice in the afternoon, and many who had read in the HekaLp of the immense throngs there on Sundays made part of the assem- Dluge in the hope of seeing the Sunday sport. ‘The only parties who didn’t seem to enjoy the after- noon were the attendants behind the refreshment. counter, where continuous throngs of hungry boys spent pennies at a time, and expected ay much con- sideration a8 though they were investing dollurs. The Purk skating this year has been splondid, There has been no time in the history of the Park when so many persons could be xo well accommodated. ‘The Comiissioners, and especially President Wenman and Mr. Conover, have given time and attention to the lake, the ice and the genéral arrangements in the Skaters’ Rest, while Superintendent Dawson aud the restaurant proprietors have spared no pains to per- a the facilities for public convenience and com- fort. IN BROOKLYN AND ELSEWHERP. Yesterday was a red-letter duy in all places of public resort. ‘The sleighing in Prospect Park, in Brooklyn, was very fine, as it was on the Boulevard and on the roads leading to Coney Island. The skat- ing in Prospect Purk attracted Iarge crowds of people, but the ice was badly cut up and the snow wus not entirely cleared away. Nevertheless, the boys and girls enjoyed the sport with zest, and their elders found pleasure in living their young days over again as they cheered the succeeding generation. ‘Lo- day the sleighing and skating bid fair to be even Detter than yesterday; but it is not likely the crowds that essay these sports will approximate even the multitudes of pleasure seekers who yesterday utilized every available spot upon the island. REMOVING THE SNOW. A THOUSAND LABORERS AND SIX HUNDRED CARTS ENGAGED IN CLEARING THE STREETS, The Street Cleaning Department buckled to its appointed task early yesterday morning to clear the leading thoroughfares of the accumulated snow of the past week. In all the streets of the city embank- ments of snow two, four and five feet high were to be seen, and the work of carting it away appeared a gigantic task. A force of 1,000 laborers and 600 carts was engaged at daylight, and by six o’clock in the evening the whole length of Broadway, from Twenty-sixth street to the South ferry, was relieved of its disagreeable encumbrance. . Cap- tain Gunner, of the Street Cleaning Depart- ment, was up to his eyes in business from an early hour. Before five o’clock in the morn- ing eighty carts, belonging to the service, were sent out, and the rest were hired from their respective owners. The programme embraced the clearing of Broadway, Twenty-third, Fourteenth, Grand, Canal, Wall and Broad streets, and also Park row. The latter thoroughfare was cleaned from the Hrratp Building to the office of the Staats Zeitung. loads of snow were removed, representing a weight of about two thousand tons. It was found that there were about one hundred loads to a block, and each block was attended to by an average of fifteen carts and twenty men. Every three blocks was in charge of a police officer, wlio saw to the pro- per clearing of the street. The snow was dumped into the river on the west side, at pier 34, foot of Harrison street; pier foot of Frankli pier 41, foot of Hoboken; pier 43, between Spring nd at the piers foot of Seventh and Eleventh On the east side the snow was dumped at pier 21, Burling slip; pier 23, foot of E pier 37, Market: pier 41, Pike; pier 56, Broome; p' 57, Stanton, and pier 47, between Clintoa and Jeffer- son streets, Permission was given by the Dock Department to dump the snow at any wide and convenient pier up town; sud the piers the foot of Eighteenth, Twenty-third, Thirty-first, Thirty-eighth and Forty-sixth streets on the east side and the piers at the foot of Canal, ‘Twelfth, Twenty- first, Thirty-eighth and Forty-sixth streets on the west side were made use of. ‘The removal of the snow was begun on Saturday, and the Jaborers and carts were kept busy till haif- past nine o'clock at night of that day. The work was resumed in the morning and kept going on vigor- ously till slate hour last evening. The snow was in a condition to be easily handled, and the shovellers had a comparatively soft time of (t. 4 A NOVEL SiGUT. It was quite a sight to see the long procession of carts driving down to the foot of Eighteenth street, on the east side, near to the old market, where Captain Gunner has his headquarters, and dumping their loads of desecrated snow intu the river. The dump- ing was quickly and easily executed, It was a simple turn of the wrist, and the load shot down into the | waters of the East River, covering its surtace like a scum fora brict space and then disappearing for- ever. Hundreds ot the drowsy population of that region came around to witness the scene, and we dered to themselves it the carts would over cease coming and yoing. ‘The spectacle on Broadway, along whieh great thoroughfare several hundred carts were strung out, Was very animated. There were a couple of Inborers, shovel in bund, to each cart, aud they seemed to work with a willing heart and take delight | inthe labor assigned thom. High ridges of smut- covered snow extended al) the way down the street, and in some piacca mounds six and seven feet high occurred, Those were ked with awill by the laborers’ shovels, and ina twinkling they had van- ished, Many of the workmen were Italians, and the chaftering among them was inceswant. People passing that way *t pped to look on at the work going forward and remarked to themselves that the Street Cleaning Departinent must haye recently experienced a sudden quickening of conscience. The driver of each cart le hand in loading up end eeemed rather to like the extra exertion. Captain Gunner observed that the job was Iaborious ensive, but the department was bound to yo throngh with it at any cost, and to-day it will under take to clear Fulton and Wall streets. “At the present moment, he, “we mnst aidress ourselves to clearing the main streets, and I think we shall make a good job of Broadway this evening. The snow is net so much of an ob- struction in the ride streets, and can atford to wait, but in such streets as Fulton, Wall, Grand, Can Fourteenth and Twenty-third it is a serious {i yenience, and these we must relieve right away. ia estimated that enough snow was removed from the — yesterday to treight an ocean-bound etewn- iP. and Five men were arraigned at the Fifty-soventh Street Police Court yesterday on charges of dumping snow where it is prohibited by Corporation or- dinance. Two of the men—James Hogan and Edward MeLoughlin— were arrested about half past ten Sa night, while dumping loads of snow in front of Mayor Cooper's residence, corner of Twenty-second «treet and Les- ington avenue. They were in the employ of the Fifth Avenue Stage Company, and, instead of driving to the river with their loads, contented ¢ with going as far as Lexington avenue and th turning to Fifth avenue. They were fined ATTACHMENT AGAINST AN ACTOR.

NEW YORK IN DANGER, MILES OF WOODEN PIERS AFFORDING MATERIAL FOR A GREAT CONFLAGRATION--WARNING CIR. CULAB FROM THE UNDERWRITERS. ‘The recent disastrous fires in this city and the ac- cumulation of great wealth in narrow limits are matters now attracting and receiving the attention of ‘The comparative immunity from great conflagrations in this city has led many to think that such disasters as overtook Boston and Chicago would be impossible here. The fire in the “dry goods district’ last week, how- ever, has dispelled that idea, for all who witnessed it recognized the fact that had a moderately high wind prevailed the fire could not have been stayed until it had swept through the block and perhaps extended still further. A committee of the Board of Under- writers has been engaged for some time past in mak- ing an examination of the lower portion of the city, with the view of discovering causes which may make a great conflagration possible and sugyest- ing remedies, ‘This committee has just issued a re- port which contains facts of rather a startling char- acter. The attention of the Board has been partic- ularly directed to the piers of New York, Brooklyn, Hoboken and Jersey City. The report states that on the North River front of this city there are sixty-two piers of wood, and of this number fifteen have either stationary boilers upon them or boiiers upon wheels; on many there are grist mills and elevators using sta- tionary power, and on ten there are blacksmiths’ shops in full operation. From the Battery to the foot of Charles street there are upon these piers four and a haif miles of wooden sheds. In a few cases the roofs are of corrugated iron, but the sides and of course the foundation are of light wood. NO PROTECTION FROM FIRE, R Eight of these piers have absolutely no protection from fire, not even 4 hydrant or an extinguisher. Nineteen ef the piers have no hose upon them, and ouly seven of the entire number have watchmen pro- vided with watch clocks. Tho committee discovered that on the piers where hydrants are placed there is no water at night, it being the custom to shut off the water tor fear of its freezing in the pipes. The keys are locked in the offices, aud water couid not be procured without great delay. Upon these piers they discovered not only the most valuable, but the most inflammable goods in the city stored in im- mense quantities or awaiting shipment. A fire starting amid such surroundings must necessarily be serious, and likely to lead to a general conflagra- tion. Superintendent Harrison, of the Board of Under- writers, says that it is now pretty generally under- stood that there is no certainty of contining a fire to prescribed limits, even with roundings of brick, stone or iron, aided by a formidable Fire Depart: ment. “If then,” says Mr. Harrison, ‘there is such insecurity under such surroundings, what may be expected from fire among our line of piers, con- structed as they are of trame of great length—some of them over 700 feet and most o1 them over 500 feet in !ength—with narrow fronts, only to be reached effectually by the aid of boats. If these sheds were entirely constructed of corrugated iron, on iron frames some hope might be enter- tained of confining the fire to the pier or shed in which it began, but the wooden supports being burned away, the whole mass tumbling iuto ruins would probably spread the desolating effect of ure on every side.” A CONSTANT MENACE. These piers the Board of Underwriters consider a constant menace to what is kuown us the “dry goods district,” where is gathered a greater aggregation of values than in any other part of the city. ‘he piers from 2% to 41 fringe this district, and between them and the great dry goods houses there are chiefly noth- ing but frame buildings, inviting a conflagration, which, with a brisk northwest wind, could not stayed, ‘The report says :—‘No one doubts the possibility ofa pier being wholly or partly destroyed by tire without injury to its neighbors, but it is unwise to close our minds to the conviction that the elements ofa large and serious conflagration are far more ap- parent than those which caused the fires of 1836, 1845, Chicago and Boston.” It must be remembered that a vast amount of mer- chandise is at all times more or less exposed on gev- eral piers on the line ot the river, as, tor instance, the buildings on the pier and bulkhead at the foot of Thirty-third street, North River, occupied as a fragile depot for the Hudson River ‘Railroad Company. There is at all times am immense amount of general merchandise stored in these sheds, and yet no appli- ances are at hand for the extinguishing of fire. ‘There is no time when the risk of loss is not greut or when all of the piers are entirely empty. If any means can be devised or plans adopted to render our river front sufer than at present they should at once be angyosted and adopted. ‘This report has been forwarded to the Fire Com+ missioners, and the underwriters consider they have performed # manifest duty to citizens, and hope that something will be'‘done to abolish the existing dan- ger.

ECCLESIASTICAL DISCIPLIN AN IMPORTANT DOCUMENT FOR THE ROMAN CATHOLIC BISHOPS IN THE UNITED STATES—A SPECIAL INSTRUCTION, Dvusuiw, Jan. 4, 1879. The following important document has been ad- dressed by the Propaganda to the Catholic bishops in the United States, It regulates how, in future, Catho, | lic priests within the Union are to be dealt with when charged with offences against ecclesiastical dis- cipline. It will be observed that this is a special procedure newly created "by the Propaganda for the Catholic clergy in the United States. But it may be only a temporary measure intended to pave the way for bringing into force in the Catholic Church in this | country, and with reference to the clergy ouly, the full provisions of the canon law, which, if it expects aceused clergyman with very ample safeguards, I append the full text of the ‘Instruction:"”"— Although the Second Plenary Couneil of Baltimore, proved by the Apostolic See, decreed that a certain sort of judicial form, already sanctioned by the Pro- vineial Council of St, Louis, should be observed in treating the crimmnal canes of clerics by the ecclesins, tical courts of the dioceses of the United States of North America, it has, nevertheless, been (ound by ex- perieace that ‘the decreed form ot judgment is not partof those who happen to meet with any punish- ment. For it has frequently happened of lute that priests condemned.in consequence of judgments cax- | ried on and sentences pronounced in that mat especially those removed trom the office of Mission: ary Rector, have complained here and there of their prelates, and have even frequently had recourse to It is, moreover, to be deplored that if not rarely happens that many and, indeed, nec- essary things are wanting in the statements sent, and when all things are considered that grave doubts often arise as to the trust to be placed in or refused to the documents bronght forward in these eases, ‘The Sacred Congregation for the Propagation of the Faith, seriously weighing ‘all these things, conclu that a remedy should be prepared for these incon- veniences and justice be so provided for that neither innocent clerics should suffer unjustly nor those guilty of any crime escape deserved punishment on account of a defective form of judgment. This it would easily obtain were it to command the entire observance of ali the preseriptions wisely laid down by the sacred canons for enterivg into aud termina- ting ecclesias But, reflecting that in the aforesaid regions of the United States this cannot be easily done, it considered that provision ought to be so made that at least suck investigations may be accurately made of acrime that has been committed as are deenied altogether neces- sury betore the infliction of the penalty, ‘Theretore, our Most Holy Lord, Leo XIII, by Di- vine Providence Pope, approving, in a general ses- sion held on the 25th day of June, 1873, the Sacred Congregation decreed and strictly commanded that cack prelate of the uforesaid country shoukl in dioc~ esan synod, to be convoked as soon as possible, se- lect five, or where on account of peculiar cireum- stances so many cannot be had, at least three priests from the most worthy, and as far as sible versed in canon law, of whom a sort of judicial council, or, iu other words, commission of investigation, may De constituted, and one of those so chosen placed at the head ot the same.

ECCLESIASTICAL MR, M'CARTHY, THE UNIVERSALIST CHURCH AND AND THE HERALD—'‘THINGS ARE NOT ALWAYS WHAT THEY SEEM.” ‘The Rev. O. P. McCarthy, who was lately restored to fellowship in the Universalist Church by a legal apprehensions contained in an article published in the Henap on that case. He says that “Judges Bar- rett and Donohue disclaimed the consideration of any ecclesiastical matter whatever and decided in my (his) favor upon the simple fact that corporations are bound by Stete law to administer impartially and faithfully their own rules and regulations.” Now, whatever “matter” those judges considered, the effect was an ecclesiastical one—namely, to restore to ministerial and denominational fellowship a min- ister whom his brethren and peers had said was un- worthy of such feliowship. This is what the Hynatp objected to and condemned, And it makes no dif- ference how many courts decide this thing (as Mr. MeCurthy says three courts have already decided in favor), nor whether, ‘as Judge Donohue re- plied to Mr. Thomas,” that a similar decision would be given for “a Catholic priest or a Presbyterian niinister,” the principle of undoing by civil process | what a recognized ecclesiastical court, after trial (so fur as itcould go unrestrained by the civil courts), | had done, is injurious to the maintenance of religious liberty. ‘The Church courts of the lund are recog- | nized ander the common law, and so far as can be | palled to mind now this is the first instance where a il court has undertaken to say substantially that a man is a proper associate for bis brethren when those brethren have solemnly declared that he is not. Under this ruling Professor Miller, of Princeton, de- posed by his Presbyterian peers for heresy, can apply for restoration to his former standing in that body. Dr, Blanvelt can also get an order from a civil court and resume his standiag in the Reformed Dutch Chureh, aud Father McNamara, though d: posed by his bishop and disfellowshipped by his brethren in the Catholic Church, ean be restored to his former standing in that church if he wauts to be. Mr. McCarthy's grievance, 80 far as this issue is | concerned, is purely an ecclesiastical one. And in | that light only the Hemacp viewed it. Whatever damage he sustained by the finding of the Committee | on Fellowship or of the State Convention of his denomination, his ministerial standing in this State only was affected, His moral character remained | unspotted. His brethren did not say that he was not 4 proper person to associate ministerially or sovially with any body of men but themselves, He might go to other State in the Union and minister to any Universalist church whos: pulpit was opencd to him, He might enter any other denomination if he could, and no doubt they would bid him God speed. But the ministry of the Universalist Church in this State said substuntially they would have no more of him, and the ‘civil court steps in end says they must. But Mr. McCarthy, a few years ago, without let or hindrance, walked out of his denomi- nation and se: up an independent society, which he called the “American Froe Chureh,” and in which he sought to groove heterodoxy and orthodoxy, uni- versal and partial salvation in the sume platforin. His brethren would have had a right to say to him then, | as an apostle of old said, “He went ont froin us that | it might be known he was not of us,’ and have | withdrawn their fellowship from him. But they did not interfere with him. : ‘he Rev. Mr. McCarthy objects further to the HEraup art: ‘because it upholds the supremacy 0? the Church over the State and State law The C Herawp upheld the supremacy of ecclesiastical courts over purely ecclesiastical matters like this, and noth- ing more, And it had the countenance and support ot several of its religious contempors: in views it expressed, And finally Mr. McCarthy clates that nothing has oceurred since May, 1878, to justify any less favorable opinion of the merits of his case than the Henazp then expressed, But he forgets that in the article of ‘which he complains no opinion was expressed on the merits of his case. He may or may not be persecuted by his ministerial brethren. ‘The courts of his Church are open to him as to other uinisters in the Universalist donommation. He cer- tainly would find impartial Christian gentlemen among them who would not knowingly nor wiltully do him wrong. He could have appealed to the eccle- siastical judicatories ot his Church, He did not ao this, but by civil process intertered with the disci- pine of hix Chureh provided for such eases. The ienany stated that fact, but gave no opinion on the rightfulness or wrongtulness of such a course. Every month almost in some church or other of this land cases of discipline are tried and administered by ec: clesiastical courts without interference from or 9] peals to the civil courts. If a minister of the Gospel can’t trust his brother ministers sn a Christian de- nomination like the Universalists to do him justice in any ecclesiastical matter, then there must be “something rotten in Denmerk.” “Things are not always what they seem.” “PAYING TO HEAR MASS.” FATHER FLATTERY CRITICISES THE STATEMENTS OF THE HERALD LETTER-WRITERS, Father Flattery, of St. Cecilia’s Church, yesterday said that a sermon to be useful should be practical, and to be practical it should deal with practical sub- jects; and since there was now a subject occupying considerable space in the press of the city, which was of emineatly practical importance to Cathohes, he would offer a few femarks thereon. “Paying to Hear Mass,” is a head under which appeared in the Henaup a letter signed “Truth,” the writer of which had put herself in such 8 position toward the Church that if she presented the facts to any Catholic priest she would be refused absolution. Such stetements “as were made by “Truth” should be met and properly dealt with, for the people should be instructed in their duties toward the Church and toward their pastors and should kuow that if they had any grievances they should bring them to their pastor, In commenting on the letter of “A Citizen” the reverend gentleman stated that he was a poor Catho- lie, who took this opportunity to rush into print th a matter that occurred four years ago. Such | statements could only be made with Oo mis- lead, for the time of the mass the lady attended was not vtated nor the — fae that there are plenty ot free seats at St. Josep! Not only | this; this model Catholic must take the pportunity to pan on the bad English of the poor doorkecper. Aud why did this doorkeeper speak bat inape et English? Becanse his fovefathers had withstood the attempt of the Saxon im- vader to denationalize his language and apostatize a his religion, Are these meu, and men like to be classed with such Catholics ax “Citi- who publicly state the affairs of their Charch t : when they know them to be anoth on” and eyery Other Catholic in the land knows that there are free seats in every | Catholic church, and that instead of being | forced to pay ‘the poor are always welcome and lovingly looked after, It is well known here and everywhere that there is not and exnnot be a cent charged for hearing mass, “Paying to Hear Mass” is an abomination, an‘l reyolts against every- thing which we kuow and hold to be the most sacred. ‘The person who spoke for Harlem came in for the greatest share of acher'’s indignation, He Was spoken of asa “mountebank and a writer of a tissue of most incoherent nonsense.” Opening | with a statement, which perhaps was news to some, but was certainly not to Catholics, “that in | Etirope religion was for the poor as well as for the This the “Harlem Traveller” might have he had traveided in Harlem instead of travei- ight also have (ound that the ere superior to those of France 0 glorified. He could have found Catholics who had crossed the seas to religion and who were willing to their life's biood for the truth, Compare all this with the schisms of the boasted fics of France and Italy. 1 tell you, my dear brethren, I lived in | italy twelve yoars—twice the time of our “Harlem ‘Trayeller”’—and hed I not the love of the faith pe- culiar to an Iviehman I would have left Italy an intidel. Lastiy, this mountebank appeals from the house of God’ to the secular press, which is actuated ouly by curiosity and a sprit of intermeddling. What a comment On his Catholicity ! OFFICER SISSON AGAIN MISTAKEN. Py found if ling in Europ He meri Two small boys were arraigned at Jefferson Market Court yesterday, before Judge Flammer, and accused richs’ officer (Sisson) with having robbed a lady in front of the store on Saturday. The lac James Murphy and William Dunn—were examined sep- arately and told the same story—that they were look- ing in at the window with a lot of other people when Sisson arrested them, for what they could not tell, Mrs. Frazier, who had lost a linen’ pocket handker- chiet at the tine and place specified, told the Judge that she did not know auything about the theft other than that she had been told by Officer Sisson that one of the lads had taken it from her pocket. They were searched immediate bat the article was not found on them. Yesterday the officer could not prove the charge, and the lads were therefore discharged, 2+ DEATHS.
