ARCHBISHOP HUGHES WON'T OBEY
THE LAW.

The Legislature of New York, on the
I'd day of April, 1853, passed law re-
quiring the registry, Of births, marriages
and deaths, in the city of New York,
under a penalty of $50. Each clergy
man is required to report the marriages
celebrated by him on or before the first
Monday in each month, to the City In
.spector. The present City Inspector,
Daniel E. Delavan, inclosed copy of
the law to Archbishop Hughes, and in
formed him that any omission or neglect
to comply with it will compel the en-
forcement of it's requirements. The
| Archbishop replies that many cases have
occurred, Sin which it is for the Catho-
lie Priest to remedy privately the evils
which the corruption of morals may have
entailed,' but that, unless under coer-
cion, he will never betray the weaknesses
of fallen human nature, when it turns up
in the form of penitence. The pretexts
of the prelate are mysterious. He says
also:
! If the State appointed salary for
clcs@ymen to perform marriage, or any
other religious act, dis its official agent, l
tcan understand that the State might
have a right to inquire into the manner,
time, circumstances, &c, of such act, and
to hold its agent responsible to its laws.
There may, be those who will admit the
Iobligation, in the absence of these con-
ditions, to render the State an account
of their stewardship. But l beg leave
to say, with the utmost respect for all
human legal authority, that [ am not
one of the number l am prepared for
prison OF for scaffold, but [ am not
!. prepared to obey requisition which
would violate the obligations of my con-
science in country like this, in which
it is said that civil and religious liberty
is the right of every citizen
The policy of the law is a sound one
and the Post suggests that no one would
!, be a whit the wiser, as to the private cir
cumstances of the marriage, by the mere
formal record of the names. Except
indeed, the public officers who make VI
the census Of the State every five years
we doubt whether any one ever looks a
the records. His suggested readiness tt
: incur martyrdom in the cause Of his con
science, it suggests is quite gratuitous
as the only penalty the law provides ii
a dne of fifty dollars for each case o
negligence, punishment the head of th'
Catholic Church in his diocese is abund
antly able to bear.
The City Inspector referred the ques
tion whether the penalty could be en-
forced, to Greene G. Bronson, the Cor
peration Attorney, who replied tha
stthe law makes no distinction between
J. clergymen and other persons, and [ SCI
no reason why the penalty may not b
enforced against any man who trans
crosses the law, without regard to hi
calling"
It would appear from this that tn
Bishop viii have to pay the penalty.

Terrible ARRAY In l.

The New Orleans Delta says:
We received information of terrible
afray in Terrebonne parish, on Friday
last, between VIM. Hornsby, Justice of
the Peace, and his brother James, and
H. II. Wallis, a planter, in which the
latter was mortally wounded. The
difficulty grew out of a lawsuit decided
by Hornsby against Wallis.
1t appears that some words passed be-
tween Hornsby and Wallis, when
-Hornsby drew knife. The ample
was followed by Wallis, when the parties
commenced cutting, each one being
stabbed FIVE or six times. Hornsby
finally exclaimed that he was killed,
when the fight stopped. Wallis was
then taken to the house of a physician,
| who on examination, discovered that he
was not dangerously wounded. Hornsby S
wound was found to be serious.
The next day Wallis was able to start
home in buggy. While passing the
residence of James Hornsby, a brother
of William, James Hornsby came from
behind the house, armed with revolver,
and advanced ON Wallis, who begged
him not to shoot, saying that he was un-
armed and wounded. Nevertheless
Hornsby fired twice, one shot taking ef-
feet in the arm, near the elbow, while
the other missed. Wallis then attempted
to get out of the buggy, when Hornsby
again advanced and shot him twice in
the back, one of the balls taking effect
near the spinal column and ranging up
ward. Wallis is not expected to live.
Hornsby has escaped.
The Hornsbys are brothers of Collins
Hornsby, who killed Twogood in this
city, sixteen years ago, at a Whig meet
ing at the Arcade.
