THE WEATHER N NEwBERRT.-The Herald
says the weather continues excessively warm for
1shia season, and dry In this immediate neighbor.
mood On Friday evening there was slight rain
from the edges Of storm cloud, which passed
from west to east. The lightning and thunder
during It's passage was terrific. The chimney OF
MIA. n. Wlcker's house was struck, but luckily
the fiuid glanced on without entering. The main
body OF the storm developed heavy rain, wind
and hail. About Kings Greek, hail fell thiclly
about the size Of musket balls, and must have
done no little damage. We have heard from no
other section. Rain Is still greatly needed in
many portions Of this district. Wheat Is still
iookng dne and almost ready to cut.

NEw YORK, January ia.-An extraor-
binary scandal is agitating the religious
circles up town. A prominent clergy
man Of this city disappeared on Satur-
day morning in company with a young
lady-ene of the pre.tisst Of his flock
and who belongs to wealthy and highly
respected family. The circumstances
are such as are certain that guilty in
trigue existed between the parties. The
reverend gentleman leaves behind dis
tracied wife and two children. Yestsr-
day his pulpit was occupied by the Bishop
of the Diocese, and it was not until even
ing that the shocking intelligence reached
the ears Of the congregation. The utmost
astonishment and grief prevailed in the
circles where the parties have heretofore
been known and beloved.

chose TO raise the question. It's decision
against Mr.. johnson, then, might prove
detrimental to the best interests OF the
neople. for it would simply invalidate
b;s acts The actions of self-constl.
tuted Mayor would stand equally valid
;f no one attacked them. And this is
the whole point at issue. How long
would the Citizens Union Ring hesitate
to use this question Of citizenship as
lever to overthrow any action OF the
Mayor distastsful to its members
For the mere qualification of the inde-
pepdeut boilers from the Democratic
oarty. we will notice the probable validi-
ty of Mr.. John Johnson's acts, should It
turn out that be is ineligible for the
oaice of Mayor. Believing the gentle
man qualified to gil the position, and
having been elected to it by large ma
iority of the people, he could in no sense
be regsrdes as usurper That is, in such
an event, be will perform the duties OF
the Office by color of law and right
The merits of the given case would mol
lest npou the probability of the Mayor
acts being attacked. Whether they were
objected 10 or not, would in no event
render them invalid. From the fact
that be was in office when the deed was
executed in the name Of the city, would
carry with it all the necessary binding
force to make il lawful transaction.
And, as evidence of this, we will refer
the opposition to the well considered law
of both England and America on this
point
Mr.. Kent, in his second volume Of
commentaries on the common law, states
that: "In the case Of public officers who
are such de facto, acting urder color Of
Office by an election or appointment moi
strictly legal, or without having qualified
themselves by the requisite tests, or by
holding over till after the period pre-
seribed for new appointment, as in the
case of sheriffs, constables, etc., their ac,s
are held valid as respects the rights OF
third persons, who have an interest in
them, and as concerns the public, in or.
der 10 prevent the failure Of justice
Nothing could lie plaineS than this in es
tablishiug the principle that a de factc
officer can bind the people OF
do any other valid act while il
Office. If it was necessary dozen oil
more cases could be given from the Law
reports that would sustain this
position. But we deem this unRec'
essary, as every well Informed man ia
the community must know what we stat
is true.

other ring, attempting TO invalidat'
