In the Superior Court, Alderman Stur-
tevant, the author of the resolutions in
favor of the Broadway Railroad, the 26
Aldermen who voted for it in defiance of
Judge Campbell's injunction were ar
raigned on Saturday. Judge Duer pro-
nounced the sentence of the Court, stating
that the history of our country affords no
similar instance of resistance to judicial
authority, nor one more dangerous to the
existence of Constitutional Government.
Oscar W. Sturtevant's case being re-
garded the most fragrant, he was sentcn-
ced to Is days, in the City prison and to
pay fine of $3.50 to the City Treasury,
and to pay to the relators SlO2 and some
odd cents.
The other Alderman and Assistants, to
the number of the twenty-six, were each
fined $3.50 and costs, with the exception
of Aid Doherty, who had voted against
the resolutions, and Aid Smith, who made
an apology to the Court. These were
find 500 and costs.
In addition to the above, two aldermen
stand indicted by the Grand Jury of New
York for misdemeanor. Several others
of the board were presented, but these
two, on the testimony of sworn and cred
ible witnesses, have had bills found against
them for rereceiving large sums of mo-
ney as bribes. The grand jury, moreo-
yer, ascertained the existence of corrup-
ton by bribery on vastly larger scale,
but, by the voluntary absence of some
witnesses and the refusal of others to
testify, their action thereupon was in a
great measure prevented.
1t is alleged that railroads in four Of
the Avenues were obtained from the Com
mon Council by bribes amounting to sew
eral hundred thousand dollars, and that
those members who voted for the broad
way Rrailroad are to received $4,000 in
its stock, in adition to what they have al.
ready received. The Sunday Atlas men
tions one member who was Sc, 1000 worse
off than nothing when elected, but in one
year has become rich by selling his votes
The two cases above referred to, will
undergo judicial investigation, and the
courts, sustained as they are by public O.
pinioD, will be likely to do justice, though
the aldermen concerned apparently Dc
not wish to have justice done them.

Sentence of the Madiai.

The Judicial Sentence of francesca
Madiai, and Rosa, his wife, by the court
in Tuscany, has at last reached this coun-
try. The New York Tribune translates
it from the Universe, leading Catholic
journal of Paris. It is as follows:
Considering that the penal laws, agree
ing with the interpretations of the most
illustrious jurists, recognise proselytism
as crime punishable by the civil author
tiles
Considering that Francesca and Rosa
Madiai, born and brought up in the Cath
olic religion, have, within the last four or
five years, been induced to abandon it
and embrace the religion which they call
Evangelical
That francesca Madiai, availing him
self of the lessons in the French langu-
age which he gave to young man of l6,
endeavored, though without success, to
detach him from the Catholic religion;
gave him, in concert with his wife, pro-
hibited copy of the Bible in French and
in Italian
That he has made to other persons
proposals tending to show the superiority
of the religion called Evangelical to the
Catholic religion, counseling such persons
not to hear the priests, reproving the
worship of the Virgin Mary and of the
Saints as an idolatry, and especially
turning into derision the pious custom of
burning tapers before the image of the
Holy Virgin-rejecting the doctrine of
the Real Presence in the consecrated
Host, characterising as an insult towards
God intercession by the Virgin and the
Saints, rejecting the authority of the Su-
preme Pontiff, saying that the observance
of the feast-days other than Sundays, and
abstinence from certain ailments were
inventions of sinful men, saying that in
the sacrament of the Communion, the
transubstantiation of bread and wine is
not true. that Confession is useless, be-
cause it is made to man and not to God
That to make young girl of twenty,
who was in their service, abandon her re-
ligion, the Madiais taught her to read
so that she might understand the books
which they gave her, such as the Bibble
translated by Diodati, and the Book of
Prayer, printed in London by the Socie-
ty for the Diffusion of the Christian Doc
trine, in which it is said that Purgatory
and the worship of Images are ridiculous
inventions.
Considering that what has been said
by the defense on the subject of libertyof
conscience and of religious tolerance is
foreign to the question, seeing that the
first is not attacked when citizens are
called to answer for their exteanal acts,
and that the second is protected, instead
of being violated, when one preserves an
other from the danger of seductions and
abandonment of her religion.
The Courts declares that the crime of
impiety has been committed by the Ma
diais in the way of proselytism-and it
condemns francesca Madiai to fifty
months Imprisonment at hard labor, and
Rosa Madiai to forty-fve months i'm
prisonment, and to fnseof 800 livres-
and at at the expiration of their punish
ment three years surveillance by the Po-
lice.
