Our Temples OF MA m on.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:-
Earnest men and women go to church because 1t
is their habit, but with a feeling near akin to that
with which they visit graves, with consciousness
tnat the spirit and life which they seek Is not
there.
Our churches. instead OF being an "opcn door
which invites the stranger and the poor" have be-
come temples consecrated to the worship OF Nam
mon, and stoutbea must that stranger be who
has the courage 70 enter therein aturcd In plain
and simple raiment; for he 1t known that here,
above all other places, people are rated by the gar
ments they wear instead OF the manhood they bear.
Let any one who doubts this take a lew observe
tons from the. "free seats' OF one OF our popular
churches. These 'free seatsr are both the lonest
and the lowliest They are the outcrmost row ofthe
gallery and the innermost one at the feet OF the
preacher Between these two rows OF free seats

A QUARREL, A DILEMMA AED NO scHooL.-THE TAX
dATHBRERs RESIGN BECAUSE THE ooLoRED PEo-
PIE DEMAND AssEssMENT-GRRMAN IMMIGRANTS.
Special Correspondence of the. Commercial.
CAMDEN, May 9Th.
The public schools Of Camden have closed for
the year, for the reason that no one could be
found to assess the handsome tax voted at the
annual meeting.
The colored voters demanded of the Commits
sioners that they should be assessed, and thus
secure part OF the school funds for their bene-
fit. The Committee held the matter under ad-
visement for three weeks, and took the counsel
of several legal gentlemen. II they did not as
sess the colored people, they feared prosecution
in the United States Courts il they assessed
them and paid over to them part of the school
fund for carrying on separate schools-a matter
which they were advised they had no legal right
to do-they were threatened with prosecution by
some who are opposed to the education of the
colored people. Therefore. standing between
two fires, they called meeting of the voters and
resigned.
To the voters it was left to say whether they
would close the school, or assess the colored
people and allow them to send their children to
the public school, or provide separate schools
for them. Both Republicans and Democrats
preferred the former, and the school was closed.
Sixty Germans passed through here, last night,
going to work on the farms aud in the eanneries
at Lebanon and Five Forks. d.

Opera BouGe.

oFFENBACH IN FRENoH-AIMEE AND HER COMPANY,
AT THE OPERA HOUSE.
In spite of the exceptionally bad weather, last
evening, an audience OF very respectable size
and character-as assembled to hear and witness
the presentation OF La Grdnde DlCliesse, by the
celebrated and charming Aimee, and her troupe,
and. IL we may judge by frequent and enthusi-
astic applause, found themselves we'll repaid.
Whatever may be thought of the merits of the
Opera Bouffe, in general, and of La Grdnde
UiiCtesse, in particular-upon which subject we
could express some strong opinion-there can
be no question of Aimee's power to perform
it in very delightful manner. Her
voice, though not of remarkable strength and
compass, il sweet and flexible, and of the light
ridnt qnality demanded by this style of music
her acting sparkling and vivacious, with less
coarseness than might have been expected by
those who know how Mile Schneider used to
give this part. The rondo 'Dites-la" was given
with really surprising sweetness and tenderness.
The Sabre song was very charming, and was
tumultuouely encOred.
The Prima Donna was well supported by Mons.
Jnteau as Fritz, whose singing and acting were
admirably comic, The rest OF the support
very fair, especially Mons. Duchesne as BoNm
and Mile Roland as Wanda.
The choruses were not very good the femi-
nino portion of those singers had, however, one
point OF preeminence in their looks, which were
certainly very remarkable.
with this performance, that, in spite of the pos
tive promises Of the bills, it was much cur
tailed, 30 much Of the fifth act being omitted
that any Conference and sense that might poss-
bly, have been found there were quite impossi-
BILE in its mutilated condition. In defence OF
these omissions some may plead that the Opera
was more decorous in consequence but We con-
slider that after going to see La Grdnde Ouch
esSe at all one may as we'll be hanged for q
sheep as lamb, and we protest against all such
breaches of contract.
We can hardly close our notice OF The perform
ance without some reference to the points OF
comparison it suggested with that of Mrs Oates
and her company. We confess we think the
letter nothing inferior as the D,tctesse TO Aimee.
She is very graceful and 1.-the. We May fairly
say that she presents in her acting the poetry
OF notion" Aimee is rounder In figure. and
pleasanter in feature, but hardly none beautiful
il either can be called bsAutiful-when all points
are considered. The rollicking humor of Boan,,
In the Oates company is certainly not exceeded by
NJ. Duehesne, and the dialogue in French fails to
be 30 effective as in our own language, even il
the translation may fail to transfer all the fiji
shades OF meaning, and bouquet of expression.

HOW 1T Ys EsTABLIsHED BY "LIMTAfIoN"-A sUIT
EnR TREaPAsa AND TILE nEsIIr.

HOW 1T is EsTABLIsHED BY "LINnTAfIoN"-A sUIT
FOR TREsPAss AND THE RESULT.
An important decision was rendered in the Su-
perior Court for Kent County, at it's late sitting
in the case of Rev. DIR. Ignatius T. Cooper os
Daniel L. Mcbride. an action for trespass. Hon.
Eli Salisbury and Hon. Joseph p Comegys for
plaintiff; Hon. N. B. Smithers and Edward
Ridgely, ESD, for defendant.
The parties to the suit reside in Camden, and
have been using lane or alley in common. The
Doctor lives on one side of the lane and Mr.
Mcbride on the other. The Dr.s deed "calls
for the lane, and he refused longer to allow
Mr.. Mob. the further use of it. Mr.. Mob in
sisted that he had the right and persisted in
using it in ingress and egress to his stable. The
DIR. enclosed it with gate, which he chained
and locked; Mr.. Mob cut the gate down with
an axe, and called witnesses 10 the transaction.
Hence, says the Smyrna Times, the suit for
trespass.
1t was proved in testimony before the court,
by prominent witnesses, (Thos. L. Temple, T.
B. Coursey, and others) that the lane had been
used in common by the occupants OF the respec-
tive properties for sixty years, as far the
knowledge OF Witnesses recollection extended,
without any objection until now. The counsel
for the plaintiff showed by testimony that that
use had been granted by one Fisher, the origin
al owner OF the property, simply as
question OF privilege to the owner OF the proper
ty OF Mr.. Mcbride, and now, DIR. Cooper who
steps into Fishers shoes, has the right to deny
that privilege.
The counsel for the defendant argued that
the privilege granted by Fisher was a license,
which license died with the party granting it;
that after Fishers death the lane was still used
in common without question, and had so been
used for over forty years; that the occupant of
the property of Mr.. Mcbride having thus used
the lane without let or hindrance for twenty
years and over it became a right by limitation
Mr.. Smithers cited rulings to sustain this
point and held the court for two-and a-half hours
in most exhaustive argument, after which the
Chief Justice instructed the Jury to render a
verdict in favor of Mr.. Mcbride.
