A UNIvERsALIsT AN INCOMPETENT WIT
NESS IN NORTH CARoLINA.-Quite an excite
ment has been caused among the professors
of the Universalist faith in the United States,
by the recent decision of Judge Manley in
the Superior Court of North Carolina. The
court held that a person protesting the doc
trines of Universalism was an incompetent
witness, and, in accordance with that decis-
ion, ruled out two or three witnesses. The
members of the denomination in that State
have since held a convention and adopted the
following preamble and resolutions:
Whereas, We have learned with surprise
and regret through the public press, that his
Honor. Juge Manley, at the last Superior
Court of jackson, N. c., decided that Univer-
salists are not competent witnesses in Court
of Justice; and whereas we believe such a
decision is not only aa..rsut lsiutrasse upos
the increasing and respectable denomination
Of Christians called Uniyersalists, but uneon.
stitutional and inimical to this Republican
Government:
Resolved, That this Convention proceed
forthwith to take such measures as they may
deem expedientto have their claims and civil
rights protected in this our boosted land o.
civil and religious liberty
|. For the benefit of those who do not under
stand their faith, they insert three articles o
belief: q.
We believe that the Holy Scriptures of thu
Old and New Testament contain. rcyela
ton OF the character. Of God, and of the duty
interest, and final destination Of mankind
We believe there is one God, whose natur,
is love, revealed in our Lord Jesus Christ by
one Holy Spirit of Grace, who will fnall,
restore the whole family Of mankind to no
illness and happiness. We believe that holi
ness and true happiness ara inseparably con
nected, and believers ought to maitain orde
and practice good works, for these things ar
good and profitable unto men.

The Court of Claims

The court delivered opinions on Wedps-
day last in two of the important cases pen
ding for adjudication. In the case of l.. G..
Thomas Us. the United States, Judge Black
ford delivered the opinion, deciding that the
prayer of the petitioner cannot be granted.
This opinion appeard in our paper yesterday.
In the case of j. X. Rogers Us. the United
States, Judge Scarburgh delivered the opin-
ion, which is adverse to the claimant This
opinion delivered by Judge Searburgh APP
pears in our paper to day. We have read
both Of these opinions with care, and we have
no hesitation in saying that they are charac-
terized by great precision and accuracy in
the statements Of the claim, and by search
ing analysis of the grounds on which the
interpos.tion Of the court was asked. They
are just such opinions as will command the
approval of the legal profession, and give
elevation to the court for the ability, learning
and industry with which it investigates the
ase submitted to Washington Union.

Greece.
A letter from Athens to French journal
gives an account of the insanity of M Sill
verge, the Minister of Finance, and charged
al interim with the portfolio of Foreign AZ
fairs. We quote:
On the 10Th of this month he purchased
$50 pendulcs and so dressing tables, which
he got placed in his cabinet lie expected,
he said, visit from two Of his colleagues,
and wished TO receive Thorn with all due hon
or. This first symptom OF arrangement was
for the moment allowed to pass unnoticcd.
A short time after M. Silivergo received a
visit from the American Minister. "Have
you ,ohite s0aistcoat?" was the question put
to that functionary by the Greek Minister
before another word had been spoken. ~
1t IS dirty send it to be a0ashedi Z" The Amer
lean Minister was quito astonished, and soon
took his leave, not knowing what to think.
After this visit, M. Silivergo went to the Pal
ace, and demanded am audience of the King.
On seeing his Majesty, ne said: "Sire, which
do you prefer, the Polka the Mazurka, or
the Minuet? For my part, l am legit-
mist, and prefer the Minuet" And he
danced some steps of one. When we left
the Palace he sent for the Chief of Police oil
Patras. On that person entering the Minis
ter's Cabinet, this latter suddenly closed and
bolted the door, and then addressing that
functionary, said: "Are you a clever man?'
The reply was: "Your Exeellency, | do my
best to be So" "Well, then, il you al clev-
er, pass through that door," "But it is clos
ed" "To be sure it is, and is, therefore, thai
you will show your cleverness by going
through it; come, try" The Chief of the
Police felt alarmed, and called out for assis.
lance. Some persons came and broke open
the door, when they found nj. Silivergo sit
ting on a sofa, convulsed with laughter. On
the 18th, M. Condostakle was appointed to
succeed NJ. Silivergo, and the portfolio o.
Public Instruction was confided to M. Chris
topoulo, the director of the Ministry of the
Interior.
