The Trial of Rev. Mr.. Hubbard for Vic.

Church.
Special Despotch to the Evening Telegraph:
PROVIDENCE, r. l., Sept. 24.-The adjourned
ecclesiastical trial OF Rev. Mr.. Hubbard, OF
Westerly, r. l., commenced at Grace Church.
Tuesday, in this city. statement of facts
agreed upon by the Council was presented to
the Court and accepted. The statement admits
the main facts. John W. stiness, ESQ.,, counsel
for the complaipants, offered to waive further
proceedings if Rev. Mr.. Hubbard would confess
his error. This was declined, and Mr.. Stiness
opened the case in an elaborate argument.
Benjamin F. Thurston, Esq, counsel for Mr..
Hubbard, announced that Rev. John Cotton
Smith had been associated with him as counsel,
and the Court admitted him. Mr.. Thurston
then commenced his argument and partly
finished 1t at the adjournment. Yesterday
morning the Court opened with the reading of a
paper from the Hon. Horatio Rogers, the legally
appointed adviser of the Court, setting forth
that his opinion was not asked on the question
of the admission of Rev. j. Cotton Smith as
associate counsel for the defense, and that the
action of the Court was consequently irregular.
The Court refused to reconsider the decision,
and Rev. j. G. Smith continues as one of the
counsel for Mr.. Hubbard. The argument of
Mr.. Tburston was continued, without closing.
The Court adjourned till this morning.

Congregational Reconstruction.

COngreSstOnRh RecOnstructtOn.
The New York Sun has the following report of
a curious and important conversations
A well-known gentleman of this city was con-
veIslng with General F. p. Blair, Jr., not long
since, upon the power of Congress to reconstruct
the South. General Blair warmly maintained
that the Reconstruction laws were unconstitu-
tioDal, and that there was no authority in the
National Government to endow negroes with the
elective franchise in the conquered States
"You are mistaken" said his friend; "tbe
Supreme Court has fully decidec the question in
favor of the power exercised by Congress-"
"How sop asked the General. IL never
heard of any such decision."
II will give you the polots," was the answer.
al The Supreme Court has decided that the
powers as regards the Sta,es lately in Rebellion,
as 1t would have toward States or Territories
conquered In war with a foreign power.
III. The Supreme Court decided years ago
that in New Mexico which we had just then
conquered Ia the war with Mexico, the orders
of General Kearney, the Military Governor of
that Territory, had all tine force OF law and
must be obeyed as sue b.
iii. Among these orders OF General Kearney,
in New Mexico, was a code OF laws which he
promulgated some time about 1S47, by which
the right OF suffrage was conferred upon all
males of lawful age, without distinct IN of color,
ut grOes included.
New Mexico, by the military power, the Supreme
Court decided to be the righuul la v of the Ter
ritory until it should be set aside by express act
of Congress.
". The apparent author of this negro suf-
rage code was Fraucs p. Blair, Jr., whose name
was attached to it as Attorney General Of the
Terri oay."

Queen Isabella has signided her willingness to

promise, and demand the expulsion of the

The Ex-Governor HauIs the Democracy
over the Goals.

The Ex-Governor HauIs the Democracy
over the Goals.
From, the 81. Paut (Minn.) Press Septic.
Governor Orr, of South Carolina, who is now
in this city, has been giving some OF the leading
Democrats here piece OF his mind On the buug-
ling way the Democracy have been managing
matters of late. To one of them, who was
delegate to the Tammany Convention, he said
that the nominations OF Seymour and Blair were
both great mistakes. Seymour, because he
represented impracticable AID obsolete ideas,
and Blair on account of his revolutionary letter.
Besides, Blair was military man, and the
Democracy set out with the idea of having
great civilian statesman, and they should have
been consistent in that idea. Pendleton was
equally Objectionable on account OF his identity
with old worn-out policies. II the Demo-
cracy had nominated Chase, the Governor
the the abolition of slavery, would have have
enabled the Democracy TO carry every Southern
State. Now, they might possibly carry Georgia
aud Alabama-the rest would all 60 for Grant.
He further said that 1t was a great mistake for
the Southern Democracy to insist on being re.
presented in the Convention; that the crowd of
Confederate Generals there had bad effect on
the public opinion OF the North, and bad
Influence on the Convention. Wade Hampton,
for instance, whom he spoke Of in high terms,
had come home, and publicly stated that he had
procured the insertion in the platform OF the
declaration that "the Reconstruction acts were
usurpallons, unconstitutional, revolutionary,
and void," and so the Confederate element in
the Convention openly arrayed itself against
Northern sentiment, and reopened all the old
issnes. Much sensible talk of the same kind
the wise and patriotic old Governor addressed
to his hard.headed friend, but with as little
practical effect we fear, his sagacious couns sells
to his headstrong brethren in South Carolina.
We learn that Governor Orr has lust been ap
pointed circuit Judge In South Carolina, but
that be has determined to take up his residence
