The Second District.

The returns received indicate the re-
election OF Maynard to Congress, over
Houk, his Radical opponent, by large
majority. Some of the successful can
didate's friends down this way suggest
that he will probably be the Speaker OF
the House of Representatives Of the
Forty. First Congress.

The Waters of the Ocean Hot.

The TaloRtHla of Conception gives
us an account Of another extraordinary
phenomenon at the port of Talcahuano.
1t says: ...-. + ...
On the l4th September the police i'm
parted the information that the waters
Of the sea wcse hot and that the fish cast
on shore were cooked. The sea was per-
fectly calm at this time, but in the morn
ing much agitation was noticed. for
which reason his EXcellency would not
embark en- route for the capital. The
observation Of the police was verified
by the evidence of the whole town: it
was 2 a. m. and no one cared to sleep
for fear of another .inundation. On the
night of the 10Th, shortly after mid
night, the wind suddenly fell calm, the
tide rose to the breakwatcrs and a
strange noise, duh and prolonged. was
heard. and though it appeared subterra-
neous and distant, it was perceivable in
every direction: and though there was
not air enough to stir Il feather, the sea
swclled and the tide ran with great vio-
lence. The ships swung round rapidly,
and the anchor chains. shaken by pow
erful force, produced a sharp metallic
sound.

The GRIFFIN HABEAs CoRrUs CASE
vas further argued before Judge Under
wood yesterday. Mr.. Neeson, in speech
of about an hours duration, concluded the
argument for the respondent. He considered
1t some leugth the habeas corpus act of
1867 and its application to this case. That
act was not intended in any manner to
change the functions of the writ. If the
court should decide that Griffin was lille
gally detained by the sheriff Of Rockbridge,
he suggested that the proper course would
be TO discharge him, but it certainly was
not competent for this court, in such pro-
ceeding, to declare Judge Sheffey's seat
vacant. The writ of ha5eds corpus could
not be turned into writ of quo 1cd,rdnt0,
70 try q mans title to an office.
MIR. Neeson further held that no person
who has violated criminal law of the
State, which is in no sense inconsistent
with the Constitution, treaties, or laws Of
the United States, and who has been regu-
larly indicted in pursuance Of such law in
4 court Of competent jurisdiction before
the judge who for years past has therein
presided and still presides, can be relieved
Or discharged from such imprisonment by
writ Of habeas corpus and subsequent pro-
ceedings authorized by act of Congress of
February I, 1867, amendatory of the judi
cary act of 1889, according to the true con-
struction thereof, Notwithstanding any al
leged legal or constitutional disability of
the judge presiding and that the existence
of such disability is not within the range
Of judicial inquiry under said section in
such q case.
In conclusion, the petitioner having been
before the 2Sth day Of July, 1868, regu-
Iarly indicted in the county court of Rock
bridge county for felony under law in
nowise contrary to the Constitution, treaties,
or laws of the United States, and having,
in pursuance Of the law of Virginia,
solelnnly elected in said court to transfer
his trial to the Circuit Court of Rockbridgc
county, held by Judge Shetfey, and having
there been fairly tried and convicted and
sentenced to the penitentiary, all which is
disclosed and verified by the record, he is
cstopped from gainsaying the validity Of
that sentence, and from ayerring that his
liberty is restrained in contravention of the
Constitution or laws of the United States.
MIR. Chandler followed Mr.. Neeson with
the closing argument for the petitioner. He
spoke for nearly three hours with his usual
fuency, but the speech partook more of the
nature of political address than Of a
legal argument.
The Judge then took the papers in the
case, and announced that time would be
tal@D to consider.

| ECCLESIASTICAL AND RELIGIOUS NOTES.
eThe Methodist churches Of Richmond we're
nearly all closed last Sunday on account of
the absence Of the ministers, who are at
tending the Virginia Conference at Char
lottesville. 1t is commonly believed that
there will be general change of the Rich
mond ministers this year. Rev. DR.. Ed
wards, formerly of Trinity, is spoken of as
| Mr.. Langhorne's successor at the Broad
street church.
| Rev. Henry Wall, of St. Johns (Episco-
| paD church, is preaching a series of SER
mons appropriate to the close of the ecclesi-
| astical year. The attendance upon the
Sabbath services at this church is steadily
| increasing. Mr.. Wall seems to have made
a decidedly favorable impression upon the
| people of Church Hill.
The repairs upon st. Paul's church are
not yet completed, but the building already
| presents much handsomer appearance
than ever before.
The rectors Of the Episcopal churches
have decided to unite in services appro-
pirate to Thanksgiving day at st. James's
on Thursday next.
Revival meetings have been held at seve-
| raj of the Baptist churches for several
| weeks past. At the First church deep Sc
riousness on the subject of religion is re-
ported. Rev. Mr.. Wilson, of Farmville,
has been preaching to large congregations
with apparent good results. On Sunday
| night last Dr.. Burrows baptized three per-
sous on profession of faith in Christ.
At the Leigh-street Baptist church, meet
iugs were held every night last week, and
| will be continued this week. Rev. DR..
Jeter is announced to preach tonight. The
pastor, Rev. A. E. Dickinson, baptized two
persons on Sunday night.
Nightly meetings are held at the Syca-
more (Disciples) church, under the minis
tration of Elder Cutler, an evangelist. The
| meetings are interesting and well attended.
Services every night this week.
There is some talk of the establishment
Of new church organization of this demo-
mination Disciples Of Christi on Church
Hill. The denomination is pretty strong
in the East End.
The congregation of the United Presby-
terian church are now comfortably installed
in the lecture-room of their new house Of
worship, corner of Grace and Fourth streets.
The result is large increase in the attend
ence upon the preaching of the pastor, Rev.
DR.. Read. This lecture-room, by the way,
could not easily be surpassed. 1t is large,
well ventilated and well warmed, with ex-
cellent modern furniture arranged by
clever hands to the best advantage for COM
| fort and convenience.
At the Third Presbyterian church last
Sunday Rev. DR.. Brown, of the Central
| Presbyterian, preached on the "Pillar of
cloud by day and pillar of fire by night"
The pastor of the church, Rev. P. B. Price,
| spent the Sabbath at Amelia Courthouse,
| where he administered the sacrament of
the Lords Supper, and received several
persons into the Church.

pLE.-Upon information received By tcle-
Graph from Washington, Sergeant Ken
drick, of the police, arrested on yesterday
q Young man named John Devlin, charged
With selling goods by sample without a
license. Devlin had with him number OF
nieces of ribbon, cloth, and dry goods OF
different kinds, but positively denied that
they were samples. On his examination
before the police court, however, several
witnesses testified that ne had offered to
seII them goods by these samples, and one
lady said she had given him an order Tor
goods. The Mayor deemed the evidence
snfficient to send the accused on for indlct-
ment.
