| Impression that seems to prevail among a
efect Of the decisions of the T. S. Supreme
Court lately rendered in two Bord suits
against this city. Through Ignorance or
for selfish purposes certain men are i'm
posing on uniformed but honest people
by telling them that according to these
decisions the judgments can never be COL
iecteu ana that therefor the Debt is wiped
out. There is nothing more falacous than
this impression, the decisions have not re-
duced the Debt one Cent and the onlv adj
vantage they are to US, is to place us in a
better (perhaps only temporary state Of
defense against those Shylock Bondbolders
who demand the last Dollar interest and
all. In the first suit the question was
whether the q. S. Courts have power to
order the q. S. Marshal to seize our Tax
Tolls and levy and collect tax to paw
judgments on Bonds, in the second the
question was whether the q. s. Gonrts
have power to order the Marshal to seize
private or individual property and sell it
to pay such Judgments In both suits the
city was victorious, thus granting US re-
pr'eve of shorter or longer duration. Our
debt is small affair at 40 or so cents on
the Dollar of the principal and will hardly
be felt by the Taxpayers, when distributed
over period Of fifteen years, as it is done
by the exchange plan adopted few years
ago, and if few Demagogues and Office
seekers could be banished from our limits,
the honest and well meaning portion of the
community would soon dispose of this great
"Bone of contention" and source of all our
trouble. TIE action of the Common Coun-
Gil on the 14th inst, in refusing to lew the
tax to pay the new Bonds AMI interest wa
an act OF dare devil hardihood and shame
less perhdy seldom to be met with even
among the class Of which the majority of
council was composed-thus cutting off our
last claim to the sympathy of honest men
besides destroying all hope of further COM
promlse-by this action these men haya
'put their foot in it" as they will find
when the people can be heard at the polls
while at the same time they are totally
poWerless to prevent the payment OF the
Bonds My advice (free of charged is, and
always has been: Compromise before you
are compelled to pay the whole.

blast, and made proclamation
I" Know ye all, that whatsoever shall disturb
the lawful execution of the justice of my lord
the encouragement by seditous cries, or
otherwise, shall be treated as an accomplice of
these rebels, and an accessory to their crimes,
and as such be hanged upon the same gallo VS. !"
Immediately the murmurs died away, and a
death-like stiffness fell upon the multitude.
Tho weeping women lifted up their eyes to
heaven, and addressed their supplications to
Him whose ear is ever open to His creatures
prayers, though despot's threats may seal
their lips; the men, inwardly burning with
rsge and Indignation, cursed their own irpo-
tence to help. Seven of the Edwards were
brought up, one after another to the gallows,
and turned off before the faces of their fellow
citizens The dismay of the terrified crowd
changed into horror, their horror into despera-
ton each fresh victim was thrust from the
ladder, they averted their eyes or bowed their
heads towards the ground, to avoid the spec
tacle of his dying struggles. To escape from
the scene by flight was not allowed them, and
the slightest appearance of movement among
the throng was instantly repressed by the
threatening weapons of the soldiery who barred
the way.
Only one Claward now remained by the side
of Messire de Chatillon. His turn was come
he had confessed himself, and was ready for
the executioner; but still De Chatillon delayed
to give the word. De Mortenay was earnestly
soliciting the pardon of the aged man (for he
it was), while Van Gisten, who bore him au
especial hatred, was as earnestly representing
that he was one of the very men who had been
busiest in stirring up the population against
the garrison. At last, by the governors COM

General de Cissey, the French Minister of
War, has issued proclamation to the
army in Which the question of religious
services Ia settled aud orders issued, in
conformity I" which tho soldiers will be
hereafter enabled to attend their religious
duties without Inconvenience. Protestant
and Jewish s"ldlers share the same liberty
az the Catholics. Mass will be said every
Sunday and holy day at an hour when the
men will be able to be present. The
Generals have orders to sec that no other
duty shall interfere with the hours of
Divine service. The military bands are
to furnish the music at high macs on special
occasions. The number of chaplains has
been increased, and these by special
clause, are declared dependent entirely on
their bishops. The Jewish rabbis will be
obliged to notify the General in command
some days previous, when the attendance
of the soldiers of that persuasion is neces-
sary during several consecutive days at
special religious services. Every facility is
to be accorded to both Catholic and Pro-
testant soldiers to attend missions and
other religious exercises, providing the
chaplalns officially announce the hours of
their services, and the men demand permits
sion to attend some few days before the
religious exercises commence.-N. Y. Cath

tents; and then everything the house contain
ed was wantonly broken up and demolished.
At last, tired with their work of destruction,
they were contemplating its results with ma
lignant satisfaction, when one of the band,
who had mounted the staircase, returned,
saying" 81 have heard something moving in
the loft I'll be sworn there are some Flemings
lurking under the roof, and if we make a
sharper search, depend upon it we shall find
something better worth looking for; most
likely they have the best of the gear with
them"
Upon this the whole party hurried towards
the stairs, each eager to be the first at the
spoil their comrade, however, checked their
haste.
"Stay, stay !" said he; "you can't get in yet.
The trap-door is ten feet above the floor, and
they have drawn up the ladder; but that
makes no odds. saw ladder in the yard !;
wait a moment, and will fetch it,"
This was speedily effected, and they all as
cended the stairs together, and mounted to the
trap-door; but there was still an impediment
the trap was firmly fastened down, aud could
not be raised.
"Well, then" cried one of them, taking up
a heavy piece of wood from the floor, "if the
door is locked We must find key to it,"
So saying. he struck violently against the
trap, which, however, still held fast, without
showing the slightest sign of giving way; but
a cry of terror and lamentation, as though the
very soul itself was passing out with it, sound
ed from the loft.
cha! hap cried the soldiers, "they are
lying on the trap"
HWaikw exclaimed apothar uo;oo or xv;Il
soon show them the way off it. Lend hand
there"
With their united strength they now lifted o
massive beam, and piled it so fercely against
the trap, that the shattered board soon fell
down among them. With wild shout of tri-
umph they rushed up the ladder, and in an in
slant were all within the loft. Here they sud-
denly stood still. 1t seemed as if some strange
and solemn spec sacle had touched their hearts,
for the curses died away upon their lips, and
they looked at one another with an air of hest
tation.
At the farther end of the loft stood boy
be could not be above fourteen-with pole
axe in his hand. His face was pale his limbs
4uivered with agitation; no word or sound
issued from his compressed lips. He held up
his weapon in a threatening attitude against
the intruders, and his blue eyes flashed with
the .heroism of despair, while the muscles of
his delicate cheeks were violently contracted
to an expression at once terrible and CHASTITY.
There he stood, like the miniature statue of
some Grecian hero. Behind the youth were
two women kneeling upon the foor-an old
grey headed mother, with folded hands and
ayes raised to heaven, and tender maiden,
whose hair hung dishevelled about her shout
1ers. The trembling girl had hidden her face
n her mothers clothes, and was clinging to
ler as in the last extremity of terror.

But the stiffness did not last long. Soon the
inturlated soldiery, fierce untamed beasts,
and thirsting for revenge, spread themselves
through the deserted streets, the Lilyards act
ing as their guides, and pointing out the
houses of the Edwards. Doors or windows
were instantly forced in ; money and goods
seized and carried off, and whatever was not
worth the trouble of removal broken and de-
stroyed. The terrified women, dragged from
their hiding-places, were subjected to the
grossest outrage, the men who raised a hand
in defence of wife or sister murdered on the
spot. Every here and there upon the streets

late, their hands filled with Flemish gold and

stated with blood and booty, drew off from the

by the despairing citizens.

left standing, but that the plunderers grudged
the time which they had destined for more
ruthless deeds. Another party fastened straight
to the dwelling of Jan Breydel. In a few mo-
ments the door was shivered to pieces and
breathing threats of vengeance. some twenty
of the bloodthirsty crew rushed into the shop
where, however, they could discover no one
though each possible and impossible lurking
place was rigidly examined. Chests and clos
