Important Decision under the Civil Right
Bill.

BALTIMORE, July 6.-An important decision
hes been rendered by Judge Bowie, Chief JUS
tice of the Court of Appeals of Maryland under
the Civil Rights bill. The facts of the case are
briefly as tolows:-
DR.. A. H. Somers, of Rockville, MONTGOMERY
county, committed an assault upon colored
man in the streets of Rockville beating him
very severely. The colored mans wife sued out
a warrant before Justice of the peace against
Soners, on which helwas arrested and arralgned
before a magistrate. The counsel of Dr. Somers
argued that the warrant was Illegal under the
laws of Maryland, contending that no negro or
mulatto could be a competent witness against
white person.
The Justice decided that the said State law
had been abrogated and superseded, and was
null and void under the Civil Rights bill. and
required the accused to give bail to answer at
the Circuit Court. Somers refused to compIy
with this order, and was committed. Thereupon
his council applied to Chief Justice Bowie for a
writ of habeas corpus, which his Honor refused
to grant; giving written opinion sustaining
the decision of the magistrate, and maintaining
the constitutionality of the Civil Rights bill, so
far as relates to the question in dispute
The Judge, in conclusion, says:-,
Aware that there are many and serious obiec
tions to the constitutionality OF the law upon
other points, yet it is not clearly unconstitu.
tional in the particulars in question. | am
bound by the usage and decision of the highest
Courts to assume that Congress has not violated
its constitutional obligations.
Not being able TO perceive clearly and I'M
equivocaly breach of the Federal Constitution
in the act OF Congress entitled "An act to pro-
tect all persons in their civil rights" etc., in
making negroes competent to testify without
expressing an opinion of the other sections of
q ln I IF,arrg nIn ha
the warrant, and remand the prisoner to the
custody OF the officer.

A WARNING TO HoUsEKEEPERS LEAVING
THE CITY.-Mrs. +. Howell, who resides at No 1920
Ghesnut street about week ago left the city for
summer sojourn at Cape Island. AS AL the members
of her family accompanied her lit necessary to
lock up the house during their absence. During this
time however it has not been untenanted. Some
individuals OF burglar procllyitle have been
watching the premises and they found
the way clear they commenced their operations.
When their irregular proceedings were discovered
the house was found in n terrible contus on. The
chandeliers had been detached the carpets taken up
drawers and closets emptied, and almost every
article OF value prepared for removal. The thieves
had succeeded in getting off with some of their
plupder, and, from the number of neatly packed
bundles lying around, were evidently intending
another descent for the purpose of removing the re-
mainder. 1t is quite probable that they will not
again be seen in the nelgnborhood, now that their
schemes have been detected.
great many families are in the habit of thus lock-
ing up their houses for less time during the
summer, and then starting off on a pleasure tour
But we hope they will all take warning from this
case, and make some provision for protecting what
they leave behind them. When there is one in
house for several days in succession iG requires bu
little ingenuity and perseverance on the part
housetreakers to accomplish their sinister objects
Knowing that they will not be disturbed by any
member OF the family whose properly they are
despOiling they can take their own time for the
work, and thus eectually elude the vigilance Of the
police

INTERESTING RELIGIOUS CEREMONY.
Laying of the Cornerstone Of the Me-
mortal Church of Washington Irving,
at TarrytOwB, N. Y,-The stone Laid
by Bishop Potter - Address by DIR.
Tyng, Etc. Etc.

One of the most interesting religious ceremo-
nies that has taken place in this country for
many years past was solemnized yesterday in
the village of Tarrytown, on the Hudson. 1t
was the laying of the cornerstone of the Memo
rial Church of Washington Irving, whose life il
isrwel known was passed in that town, where
the author of the Legend of Sleepy Hollow
was beloved by all who knew him Tor his ines
unable social virtues as neighbor and a
citizen.
The present Episcopal Church of Tarrytown
bears the title of st. Marks. Within this parish
rests not only the grave of Washington Irving
of Sleepy Hollow" has made forever famous.
Not far OFF from the site of the Memorial
Church lies the renowned hollow itself-that
wondrous region (which abounds with local
tales, haunted spots, and local superstitions"
Within a stones throw is the old Dutch
Church, still standing ION knoll, surrounded
by locust trees and lofty elms, from among
which its decent, WhiteWashed walls shine mo-
destly forth, like Christian purity beaming
through the shades of retirement" Near by,
spanning the silvery PocantecO is the bridge,
in crossing which lcha6od Crane was struck by
the "horrble missilen hurled at him by the
'headless horseman;" while at the foot OF an ad-
jacent hill is the lonely but pleasant site of the
school-LOuse, from "Whence, IN a dIowsy sum-
mer's day, the low murmur OF pupils voices"
coming over their lessons, was heard of old,
''hke the hum OF a beehive"
Influenced by their contiguity TO these points
of interest to all the readers of Godfrey Crayon,
as well as by the fact that no fitting testimonial
to his memory has, as yet, been erected amid
these now familiar scenes, the wardens and
vestry of ST. Marks Church have determined to
set apart their new edi6ee, the building of which
they have some time had in contemplation, as
his memorial. In pursuance of this plan, they
have purchased an elieible lot OF land, situated
on Broadway, the principal avenue of the village
of Tarrytown, only fifty yards from the spot
where Major Andre was captured, and where
the "strange rider" first appeared TO the village
enha lVna and n thereon a
beautiful structure of stone, TO be known as the
Memorial Church of Washington Irving.

his senses, he found himself lying under billiard
