THE RIGHT OF EPISCOPAL Leroy.

The Supreme Court of New jersey,
at its last session, refused new trial
in the case of Rev. William j. Lynn,
former rector OF st. BarnaDas church,
at Roseville. The action was for forci-
bly, preventing minister from preach
ing in the church and occupying the
parochial school-house. Upon argu-
ment of the rule the court decides as fol-
lows:
81, A minister of the Protestant
Episcopal Church has either the possess
sion OF the church or right, in the ma
ture OF an easement, to enter therein
on all occasions set apart i'll the parish
for divine service, and substantial in
reference with such right will lay the
ground of an action At law.
~. The English ecclesiastical law
forms the basis of the law regulating
the affairs OF this denomination Of
Christians.
80. In order to vest the pastor with
the ordinary rights in the temporalities
pertaining to his office, it is not neces-
sary for the congregation to be incor-
porated, nor that the title to the church
should be lodged in such congregation.
90. A Protestant Episcopal minister

RELATIONS WITH GREAT BRITAIN.

The following is an extract from ,
letter from Mr.. Reverdy johnson, u
5, Minister to Great Britain, addressed
to the corporation OF Brighton, Eng
land. 1t is dated November 10:
| "Ihe subject of naturalization is now
settled by the protocol agreed to by
! Lord Stanley and myself, and so set
| tied that it cannot hereafter give trou-
| Die to either Government, and am
| glad to add that it has received the an
proyal of the Executives of each. The
naturalized is placed upon the same
footing in all respects as tile native citi-
zen.
The second cause was as to the true
running of one of the lines which di-
vides your possessions and ours, as de-
scribed in the treaty between us of 49,
At. This at one time rendered a war
almost imminent. All danger from
that source is removed by the second
protocol. agreed to by his Lordship and
myself, and which also has the approval
of the two Executives.
The third and the only other cause of
trouble originated during our late do
nestle war. From this has arisen most
OF the claims made by your citizens up
on my Government, and my fellow
citizens upon yours, the latter known
by the general name of the Alabama
claims.
The convention which we have re-
Gently agreed to (and which have no
doubt will be approved by both Govern
ments) provides that these are to be set
tied by a Board of four Commissioners,
two to be appointed by each Govern
ment.
In the event of their not deciding BY
a majority for or against any claim
other than an Alabama one, the decis-
ion is to be made by an umpire chosen |
by themselves In regard to the Ala |
bama claims, the arrangement is some
what different.
Before these are to be considered by
The Commissioners, the two Govern
nents are to agree upon the head of
some foreign Government as an arbi-
rat0r, by whom the decision as to the
liability of your Government for such
claims is to be made on the contingency
hat the Commissioners fail to come to
N unanimous decision tor or against
t.
Thisarbitrator, however, IS to adjudge
My the question of Liability.
If he rule that question against your
Government, the amount due to each
lamant is to be ascertained by ma
Ority of the commissioners. If he rule
4 favor of your Government, the claim
J to be pcrpetually barred.
You will thus see, gentlemen, that all J
he sources of trouble have been Closed,

as soon as the law expires. The WASH

Gazette says:
ut is understood here that General
Grant Will not authorize any extension
OF the Virginia stay-laws, and conse-
quently hundreds of the best farms in
that State will soon be offered for sale
under the hammer. In view of this re-
suit, it is rumored that an ASSOCIATION

loose upon our devoted people hor DIES

as we contemplate the wide spread mis-

Gen. Stoneman has generally managed
the affairs of his district in wise and

deeply regretted should he lend himself

friends and foes, at the moment when
you require quietness IN order to con-
slltute yourselves in Il manner worthy
OF the great nation that is building her
sovereignty on the ruins of a detested
throne' To-day, at your request, IwIll
frahkly give my opiuion.
Proclaim the federal republic and
name II Dictator for two years.
SPAN is not wanting in honest men

Tue modern European feudalists. who

uous war, desolation and misery,
DO not let your admirable and valiant
chiefs tall into the same error as the
good, credulousiand deceived LAFAYETTE,
VINO bequeathed to France the inheri-
lance of two revolutions and tyranny.
Inc DugDear of the republic. so ably
handled by despots and Jesuits, was
created by tie excuses of the great
revolution of 1888. which, by endeavor-
ing TO remove despotism and render
liberty sublime, terminated by throw
ing itself into the arms of an adventure
Gus tyrant.
You have proved by the most exem-
plafy moderation that your system is
not that of the guillotine; therefore
your revolution may inspire confidence
even to the codes of law, which unfor-
tunately are not few.
The republic is the government for
honest people, and the proofs cad be
found in AL epochs. When virtuous
they last, but fall when corrupt and full
of vice.
Switzerland and the United States,
1t Is true, maintain themselves without
dictatorship, although Washington
and Lincoln became the moral dieta.

tcfest required them.
Spain finds herself IN an especial DO
sition- many and powerful pretenders;
Jesutical influences at home and close
by, and, in fact. with a national charac-
ter both generous and noble, but at the
same time very restless-therefor she
requires very just but energetic gov
ernment.
The national sovereignty once ac-
quired, pass on to the constituent Cortcs
with universal suffrage, and they will |
occupy themselves in finding the man
capable of governing the republic with
dignity, who will return to his hearth
after two years accompanied by the |
benedictions of his grateful teilow-cit-
zens.
This is what hope for nation that

property, as we'll as real estate. was
sold about 1850, by decree of the Cir
cult Court of Louisa coul,t y. for which
bonds and security were taken by the
commissioners. ..... -
Some time since the war the slaves in
the case named brought suit in the Uni
ted States Circuit Court under the
style OF Timberlake, &C., VS.. Timber

under the will, and not being parties to
the suit IN the State Court, were not
bound by its decision, and claiming the
land devised to them under the will,
and asking that the purchasers at said
sale be enjoined from paying purchase
money to said commissioners. An

MR.. CHASE SPEAKS OF US.

Chief Justice Chase, who has Just re
turned from Richmond, speaks in flat
tering terms of the Southern people, so
far as he was able TO judge of feelings.
He thinks there are no people more 10y b.
al or more anxious for peace and har-
mony between the two sections, and
that if permitted 20 do so they would
very soon recover from the disastrous
results OF the rebellion. The action of
the Chief Justice in sustaining the mo-
tion to quash the Davis Indictment was
anticipated in this correspondence, but
it was not expected that the vindictive
nature of Judge Underwood would
prompt him to dissent, and necessitate
the question being certified to the Su-
prenle Court. The Chief Justice thinks
there is no doubt about his opinion be-
ing sustained by the other members of
the COURT Washington Letter-Baltlnore

EXPECTED SALES OF LAND IN VIRGINIA

a letter from Petersburg in the Rich
mond Dispatch says:
1.-TWO months ago the land agents
here were sanguine OF having a host of
visitors after the election, and of dis
posing of large number of farms. But
not MANY have yet come, and not all
who did come have bought. An event
is now shortly looked for of greater mo-
ment both TO Virginia landholders and
to those who contemplate vesting mo
nry IN our lands than the result of q
Presidential election-and that is the
early limitation of the stay law, with
the great probability, not to say GER
tainty, that it will not be continued
This Is the cause assigned Ivy such of
our agents as have been carrying on an
extensive correspondence with north
ern gentlemen. Ne arc also informed
that companies are being formcd,-or
have been fOrmed-with ample funds at
command, to invest largely whenever
our lands are thrown on the Market
Even already, during the present sea-
son, right good farms with comfortable
buildings have been sold under trust
deeds III some of the adjoining counties
at Two dollars, and in fact as low rs
one dollar per acre. And unless the
competitor among strangers is more &C
i've than we fear it may be, is is appal-
ing to think of the great sacrifice of
property during the next year. 1t may
all work well in the end, and we trust
II may, but it Will be by the ruin of a |
large majority of the land proprietors.
