described him when he spoke of him
as an illustration of the entire sep
aration of religion and morality. Cox
seems to have seen no inconsistency In In
dulging in an occasional burglary and living
dissolute life. at the same time that he was
n devout church member and went about urg-
ing Others to become members also. 1t is easy
to see how such man might reason himself
into the belief that he was innocent OF any
crime but an unmportant burglary. and how
he might roll that off his conscience with the
utmost ease. But the thought of the com
placent scaffold speech he is likely to make
is good cause for a shudder.
The Rapid Transit Commissioners defend
their action in authorizing an elevated ROAD
on Fourth Avenue on grounds when some
newsnaper arguments have already rendered
familiar. They regard such a route as Indls-
pensable to complete system of rapid transit
though why this is so the report does not
make clear unless we can have complete
system of rapid transit only by putting an
elevated road in every street. The public are
evidently of the opinion that with two elevated
roads on each side of the city the system Is
The only argument having any piausiblhty
which has ever been advanced for the Fourth
Avenue Road is that which the Commissioners
add-that there should be competition. securing
low fares aud the best OF service. The question
of fares is hardly q serious one. AT pres
ent while the roads are yet unfinished the
public does not demand reduction OF the
rates. but when that demand Is made 1T VIII
be complied with. The elevated roads under
stand too well the nature of their tenure to
venture to do otherwise. In all this, how
ever, it should be remembered that the
Fourth Avenue Road is only one out
of a number of routes selected. No objection
has been made, apparently, to the routes Sc
ected in Westchester County, and their con-
struction Is a matter of great importance TO
the city. The movement of property owners
to further this end is natural, and deserves
support.

Several Democratic papers printing a state
ment of the dire straits 10 which some gentlemen
prominent in melting or prosecuting the Rebellion
have been reduced Il certainly is sad. One who
was major-general under Lee is dOorkeeper Of the
Senate and the only man that ever whipped Shcr-
idan Is clerk in the stationery room. These are
the lucky ones. Confederate commodore is living
by odd jobs OF wood-sawing in Cincinnati. A Mis-
sissipp colonel oil .Iates as a car-starter in NewOr
leans and ga proud Georgian who formerly wheeled
battalious at Vicksburg" bosses sixteen Cinnamon
on a Nevada railroad. " One of Grants classmates
is an unhappy hghninG-rod agent al the West, and
Confederate brigadcrs scattered here and there
unable to earn living. BeauTegard and Early are
even worse Off if possible, standing either side of
a Louisiana lottery wheel, advertisements for
professional gambler. A brigadier-general at Shi-
Ion is now a deck-hand on the Mississippi. But
there are laws of disorder well as laws Of order
and il may be wholesome to remember that these
gentlemen are peculiarly lucky in one respect-in
being Americans ANY of them might have
been a Russian, Spaniard, or Prussian even
an Austrian: and if they had taken up arms TO de-
stroy those countries, they probably would now
have no heads to ache. no pride to be- wounded. If
life is worth having, they are to be congratulated.

AT meeting neld by the influential Friends in
Philadelphia this week to consider the condition of
the negro refugees in Kansas, some new facts were
brought TO light. Our Quaker friends are shrewd
as well as generous and may be trusted to get ut
the bottom facts in every matter which makes de-
mands upon their pockets. 1t appears from the
statements made to them that the negroes are not
all 50 needy as is supposed; some Of them have
money to buy land, and have bought it. The Freed
mems Relief Association has bought 5000 acres
at 50 60 per acre, has made the first payment, and
put some of the refugees TO work on it. The second
payment is not due for four years and before that
time they hope the blacks Will have got Northern
legs under Them so to speak. enough to be able to
pay it themselves. Many of the Older men and
women. however. are not self-supporting, and
never will be they went TO Kansas with the blind
faith of the Jews TO Canaan believing that ii was
a land flowing with milk and honey, for which no
grecubacks need be PAL |. The facts stated of their
immediate need were so well authenticated and the
methods suggested for their help practicable,
that the Friends have taken up the matter in
earnest. Whatever IS done by them, we have 10
doubt will be judiciousy and wisely done.

The excitement which has lately prevailed among
the Episcopalans of Philadelphia, Baltimore aud
parts of Massachusetts, over the authority OF
the bishops to restrain rtuaislc" services, lends
interest to the decision rendered in the English
Court of Appeal upon the powers of bishops in the
Established Church over this subject. The Public
Worship act of Parliament and the Church Disci-
pine act prescribe the routine OF the church service
very definitely, and provide for an enforcement
upon proceedings to be instituted by the Bishop. In
the late case the Rev. Cano Carter rector of Clever,
in Berkshire, became cbargeable with violating
these ecclesiastical laws IN the matter, particularly,
Of employing unauthorized vestments."
parishioner complained to the Bishop. He seems not
to have disputed the violation of law, but thought
il not best to interfere since the rector was aged
and much respected man. the majority of the parish
were cOntented and the deyiatIons were not
important. The aggrieved plriShloner then prose-
cuted the Bishop for refusing TO institute pro-
ceedings. The words of the statute are that upon
pensioners making sucn complaint to the Bishop
cit shall be lawful" for the Bishop to institute
inquiry. The complaining parishiOner contended
that tins imposed an obligatory duty; whatever it
was lawful for him to do, that he was in duty bound
TO do when a proper case was presented. And of
this opinion was the Queens Bench. But the Court
Of Appeal has reversed their judgment. The Judges
think the statute was intended TO give the Bishop
discretion. The meaning is that it shall be lawful
for him to prosecute if he thinks best If this rule
is adhered TO the question of prosecuting rtualst
will rest with the Bishop. He cannot be compelled
10 override the choice and wishes of majority OF the
parish upon the conduct Of the service bv the COM
plants of few. The practical result Will be that
within the diocese of any bishop sharing or favor
ing rtuastc convictions, the adoption Of rites not
prescribed by law will be sheltered from interfer-
ence.

The question of pigeon shooting has been decided
by st. Louis court against Mr.. Bergh and the
pigeons. Under a statute which Furnishes any per-
son who shall needrssly kill any living creature,
Captain Boglrdus was brought up for shooting
pigeons at the Abbey race track The story against
him was that parcel of live pigeons were taken,
two at a time from their cage by an attendant and
thrown up into the air, while BOgardus, standing
near shot at them. This was done, however, not
out Of any pleasure in hurting the pigeons, but to
exercise and show skill as marksman. The court
decided that this not case OF needessly
killing ID is not to be supposed that such
statute is intended to suppress manly sports They
are generally recognized rightful and even use
full as they tend to promote health, vgor and cour-
age, and to cultivate skill which may become im-
portant in the community. The value of athletic
sports is not to be denied. But in this part OF the
country here well understood that an artificial
pigeon and glass balls may be used instead OF the
living Bird it is probable that the particular ques-
ton of any necessity for shooting at real pigeons
would be- If indeed it has not been, decided the
other way. Sportsmen hereabouts will do we'll to
consult the society" before acting on the ST.
Louis decision.

The report made elsewhere of the prospects
of the Hudson fruit crop announces IN all
probability that New-York is to have peach
region of its own, rivalling in time that OF
Delaware and New-Jersey. The success OBJ
tanned in growing many varieties of peaches
in the Ulster district has brought about what
our correspondent calls " a mania upon
the subject. 1t is believed that more than
5000, 900 trees have been set out during the
past two years, and there is to be even more
planting next Spring than before. Meanwhile
this years crop is very abundant, and
promising in all respects, and will also have
the advantage, owing to the short distance 1t
needs to travel to market, of remaining I'M
gathered until it is fully ripe.

The case of the Brooklyn dressmaker, re-
ported in our local columns, is one Of those
hardships which the law cannot well avoid
infictiEg. This woman received from a large
hearted employer in this city number of
dresses to be made up, the compensation to
reach the munifcent sum of 81 70 for every
dozen made. Two scapegrace daughters take
the dresses and pawn them without the mothers
knowledge. afterward mailing the pawn-tickets
to her employer. He thereupon lnyokes the AID
OF the authorities, and the seamstress is locked
mn in iall in default of $500 bail, to await
trial for an offence OF which there is every
reason to believe she was both innocent and
ignorant Her three children will no longer
be supported by the proceeds of dressmaking
at the rate Of 81 70 a dozen, and the large
hearted employer will have the inefable sat
isfaction of rejecting that he has vindicated
the majesty of the law.

Probably larger number of ingenious the
cries were constructed with reference to Mr..
Chastine Cox's recent exploits than about any
similar affair within recent memory. But 1t
was reserved for that gentleman himself to
surpass even the morbid Inyentiveness OF
the police and bestow upon an astonished
world the most extraordinary theory OF all.
He is not guilty of murder, and has never
felt that he was; he can smile therefore and
be AT his ease, because Mrs. Hull was alive
when he left her and lac is conscious of his
innocence He does admit the burglary, but
pIacidly remarks that he thinks I" God has
forgiven that crime" He expects to be
hanged. but thinks it would be a cruel
thing to do. He is 80 buoyed up by
his goodness that when he was brought back
to his cell after his convietion he felt Ike
" shOuting praises to God" and he adds-this
most exemplary persOn-that he would have
" shouted if he had not thought the Warden
"would be displeased." From the heights Of
his piety Cox pities the District-Attorney-a
situation which Mr.. Phelps will prob
ably regard as somewhat novel. He had
"the bitter feeling of an adversary in his
"beart," and Cox is sorry" for him. The
first superficial inference from these utter
ances and others like them, which are reported
elsewhere, would be that Cox was insane, but
there are no facts to support such theory.
Neither is it likely that he is the c0Dsummate
hypOcrite he seems TO make himself out.

AFTER SWA8,

Surprisingly Benevolent Efforts to Take
Caro- of tho Dutohmen in Holland,
The St. Paul & Pacific Railroad company
was in court again yesterday. It was pro-
sumed that when tho foreclosure sales were
ordered at tho last term Of tho United States
circuit court, and contaminated by tho
transfer of millions of dollars, that tho road
was out of litigation. But yesterday 1t a.
peared in court again, under tho old familiar
phase of a contest between the Dutch bond
holders interest and the John 8. Kennedy
OF al. administration as trustees. In other
words, h. Sahlgaard, B. 81. Stricken, A.
Messehaert and D. Kropholler sew
orally brought suits in behalf of the
minority of the Dutch bondholders,
contending and complaining that thor in
terests we're ignored in the foreclosure sale,
resulting in the incorporation OF the road
under the name of the st. Paul, Minneapo-
lis & Manitoba railroad.
In view of the alleged state of. affairs, the
suits were respectively brought to have the
fol eclosure sale set aside, that their interests
might be adjusted.
Three of these foreclosures, as will be re-.
membered, took place under decree of tho
State courts, and one mortgage was fore
closed and the sale followed by decree of the
United States circuit court.
In considering the complaint and bill, the
defendants, or more properly the st. Paul &
Manitoba raicroad company, by their ooun-
sci, Hon. Geo. B. Young, entered demurrers
to the bill:
First-That the foreclosures having taken
place in pursuance Of proceedings in the
State courts, that the court had no jurisdic-
ton in the matter.
Second-A demurrer was entered to the
four suits that the plaintiffs failed to make
a case in showing that they owned any bonds
at the time of the sale.
The case came up before Judge Nelson
for argument on these demurrers.
Hon. George B. Young appearing for the
defendant, made long and exhaustive ar
gument. The full history of tho case, some-
what familiar from frequent litigation to the
public, was reviewed, and it was held thao
the sale was binding and legal
as alleged by the complajnants. Judge
Young's argument was an able exposition
of the case and impressive in it's several
points; he having become familiarized with
the business in all its bearings from long
connection with the ms and outs of the in
tricate case. He spoke from 10 O'Clock A. M
until after O'Clock.
AT this hour Hon. John M. Gilman took
the floor for the plaintiffs in opposition ia
the demurrer. But before he had progressed
to any extent In his argument the court ad-
journed.
The case will be resumed this morning,
and Mr.. Gilman's reply will more than like.
ly consume all day.
