Bosrox, Nov. II, 1877.
For upward Of a year thcre has been unpleasant
conflict OF authority between Warden Cham mberlan Of
the Massachusetts state Prison, and Rev: 5. l.. D..
speare, chaplain, which nnally resulted in tho
being suspended IRON duty by order oil the Gov
ernor aud Council. The trouble FIRST came
from tho opposition OF tho chaplain to allow
ing q Catholic priest to say in the
chapel the Sabbath and administer to tho
spiritual wants OF the Catholic prisoners, IA privilege
which Waraen Chamberlain not only favored but Sc
cured by special legislative act During the contro.
vcrsy the haplain preferred charges OF violation
the prison rules tho part OF both the Warden and
inspectors and 1t Is pending tho investigation that
the III lplain Is himself suspended. The prison OIL
say that matters had progressed SO lar that there
i'm danger OF rcvoit among the prisoners
The reason, MS gwen, Is That tho minds Of
The convlcts have been poisoned by tho cnaplaln
against the authorities 0i tno INSTITUTION The con-
vets been given TO UNDERSTANDABLE least II Is
asscrted-that they are conncd against the wishes OF
many cilzens outside the wallis vi the Institution IL
also aaId tnut tho chaplain has not conducted hiu-
sel as man sho ua PROCESSES To DO Il follower o
the saviour oi mankind and an expoundcr OF divine
truths
Tho report Of the chaplain published last year, In
when Le argued against Catholicism IN the prison,
has gwen rise to uscussioEs upon subject th gh

tor the good Of the prison that his removal been
sought Chaplain Spearc, upon beng interviewed to-

CARGO BROUGHT FROM DEMERARA TO BALTI-
MORE For TEST CASE.
by rErEGEApH 10 THE HERALD
BALTIMORE Nd, Nov H. 1877.
The British bark Potomac, which arrived hore to-
day IRON Demerara, brings the first cargo OF sugar
that has been shipped to any port IN the United
States from that island since tho public an
nounccment by Secretary Sherman that all art
Acially colorcd sugars would bc seized Tho
cargo is consigned to William II. Perot, large sugar
importer. who has been active in his efforts to secure
repeal OF the present tariff and is sustained in his
efforts by the entire grocery trade OF New York, Da
more and other leading cities MIR. PeSot asserts In
the most positive manner tha. ho has luly nvesti-
gated the mattor and found that the sugar
artiflcolly colored to avoid the
high rates = Sol duty assessed by the pres
ent tariff on bright colored sugars. The other
importers here uro ol the same OPP on, and simiar
views obtain among tho New York importers All tho
sugar and refining interests Of the country directly
affected by the Interpretation OF Secretary sherman
and the utter zitan OF this branch Of business
IL shown when II ~ stated that since October when
the order went into effect, not IA cargo has lett
Dcmerara Tor the United States Ono cargo was
received here on the 18th oil October by Sir.
Perot but 1t had been shipped before October and
WAS not sezcd. The tardiuess OF Congress in dealing
with tho subject oil the pcttons from this and other
cities has, IT is believed, prompted Mr. Perot to i'm
port this cargo in order TO bring about test case and
have the matter decided ono way or the other SO AZ TO
bring IL directly bolore Congress.
NO MOTION TO sEIzE rnR SUGAR.

DIRECT ISSUE.
As the officials have expressed the opinion that
these sugars coorci to lessen tho duty II
highly probable that the seizure Will be made. Tho
revenue officers say TINS fact be readily cstab
hshcd upon examination or ihves sti CATION. On tue
other hand the importers that the American Consul
at Demerara has ample testimony to prove tho
contrary The present stocks of sugars pretty
well worked up Ut the renerics all the large cities,
and tho Interests wcinl upon decision OF tho case
involve many millions OF dollars including tho I'm
