The Mayor of New York Declines to Pre-
side.

New YORK, Feb. 26-The Irish Confedera-
ton had great meeting tonight in Cooper
Union to raise funds for the famine dis
tricts of Ireland. The presiding officer read
two letters; one was from the mayor accept
ing the invitation to preside, and the sec,
ond was from the mayors private
secretary, and read that when the
invitation to preside was accepted
the mayor thought the meeting purely be-
nevolent to aid suffering Ireland. 1t seems,
however from the advertisements and cards
of admission that it is a matter in which the
mayor must decline to take any part what
ever" The cards of admission bear the words
ireland for the Irish" The letter was re-
ceived with hisses and cries OF Throw him
overboard; that's the last of him." etc.

Judaism and Christianity.

In the Temple Gates of Hope, in East
Eighty.sixth street, New York, last Friday
evening, Rabbi Browne took for the subject
of his evening talk the Rev. DIR. Newman's
sermon on judaism and Christianity"
Referring to DR.. Newman's statement that
Judaism is the background while Chris
tianity is the picture, he said that the COM
parison should be that Judaism is the canvas
on which the picture is painted aud not a
mere background. Citing the charges made
against the Rev. Heber Newton that he had
asserted that Judaism was natural and
not revealed religion; that the prophets
did not possess predictive powers, and that
he had belittled the biblical miracles, the
speaker said that the condemnation Of Mr..
Newtons assertions sprang, not from de-
sire to defend Judaism, but to defend
Christianity, which is based on Judaism,
and could not exist without it for founda-
tion. In conclusion, Mr.. Browne said that
Jesus came not to destroy the laws, but to
fulfill them. 1t was Paul who undertook
the work of destruction that is wrongfully
attributed to Jesus.

Rnne.


Chief Justice Cartier to-day in the Court

in two attachment cases, brought by tho
United States against Henry w. Howgatc

had not been made Of record.
The Government brought suit against
Howgate TO recover 100000 alleged to
have been embezzled by him, attached
his property, and among other that sold to
Mrs. Houghton. Motion was made to quash
this writ on the ground Of an improper
levy, and the Court to-day sustained the
motion.
Tho second case was also an attachment
suit, and came up from the Circnit Court
on an appeal from decision sustaining a
demurrer to the pleas. In the original suit
the defense pleaded that the suit being
brought by William A. Cook, as special
counsel, Instead of the United States Dis
triot Attorney, was therefore improperly
brought.
This was dcmurred to and the decision
sustaining the demurrer went up on ap-
peal.

Chief Justice delivered the opinion of the
Court to the effect that the United State;
had tho right and authority to employ

Joshua Anderson Sentenced.

In the special term Of the Criminal Court
to-day, Judge Macarthur, presiding Joshua
slaughter q few days ago, was sentenced.
His Honor, in commenting upon the case,
said that he had been considerably per.
picked as to the extent of the sentence to
impose He was at first inclined to give
the maximum but, when, the other day,
the prisoners broke from the cells in tho
Courthouse, this prisoner declined to avail
himself of the chance to obtain his liberty,
but, on the contrary, declared that he
would remain and abide by the law, that
act had done much, in the eyes Of the
Court, to mitigate the sentence it had first
intended to impose, and which would to
some extent govern its action. He then
gave the prisoner a sentence of five years in
the Erie County IN. Y Penitentiary,

Pettibone and brewster.

American Register, May ..
1t seems that Congressman Pettibone, OF
East Tennessee, had agreed with the Depart
ment OF Justice, when this Department seemed
TO be in no abnormal state OF mind or body,
that youth from East Tennessee should be
pardoned out OF tho penitentiary. The boy had
been made postal route agentin Texas. He was
a Republican and Presbyterian. Maynard ap-
pointed him, and Maynard appointed no other
sort. But the boy fell into bad company, and
was cheated out of $500 of the Governments
money. He was tried, convicted and sent to
were broken.hearted. They owned little
house and farm in bright marrow
valley in East tennessee tennessee @ wney ware are
mortgaged the farm, paid $500 into the U. s.
Treasury and having the receipt for the
money, MIR. Pettlbone called on the explosive
Department OF Justice for tho pardon. What
was the Congressman's amazement when
Brewster expressed his delight that the Gov.
ernment had recovered Its $500 and what was
Pettibones horror when Brewster refused,
outright, to have the poor boy pardoned. The
two obscure old people OF East Tennessee had
beggared themselves 10 rescue their only
child from worse than living death, and all In
vain. Brewster had forgotten 1t II he ever
made an agreement contemplating the
right to comply with Mr.. Pettibone's demand
It is stated that Pettlbone made speech to
Brewster. Pettibone is voluble talker, and
people in the Department OF Justice last
Wednesday do say that he can outswear "our
army In Flanders" or "Digger In1uns" even
when Grant was there. He told the Attorney
ring on legs should be impeached, that the
Department of Justice was another name for
Ananias and sapphira and things too tedious
to mention and hardly iit for us to tell. And
the Congressman went out. But let us sup
pose for q moment that Mr.. Pettlbone had rep-
resented Sidney Dillon instead OF the poor old
farmer of the mountains. How nicely Brewster
| would have conducted himself. "lt doesn't
signify anything, Mr.. Pettibone, whether Sid
ney pays the millions he owes or not; the
Government is rich. Come, Petty, let's talk IL
over at Chamberlaine's. lI'll go over and see
Teller, and we will get up correspondence
| with Sid and blather about 1t before tho vul-
| gar tax paying people, and Sid can have all
| the time he wants, and he can take the case
| before the courts, you know" such might
| have been Mr.. Brewster's blurtings'out IL
| Pettibone had only represented a proper
| client. But this is no longer poor mans
| country, or n poor mans government They
| created and maintained II through three
| wars; have given their lives, fortunes and
| blood for It. But 1t has been stolen from them
| and perverted and made government OF
| grand swells, OF monopolists, OF bondholders
| and place-men, and OF banks. 1t must be born
| again.

ANominai Zine of $40.

The attention of Judge Smell was called
to- day to the charge of conducting a gift
enterprise in connection with the recent
fair which has been preferred against Col
onel William G. Moore, of the Washington
Light Infantry Corps. Colonel Moore was
in court, accompanied by Colonel CorlShill,
who stated that he had been requested by
Mr.. Davidge to appear in the case. The
Light Infantry had merely given one of n
series of annual fairs, the legality of which
had never before been questioned, and they
had not known that the distribution Of
prizes was in violation of law.
Prosecutor Padgett said that the gift en-
terprise law was very useful one, but SO
comprehensive as TO include almost every
form of fair, and while this case was clear
violation of the law he believed the viola
tion to have been in the interest of a very
worthy object and would be satisfied with a
nominal fine of$10. This fine was imposed
and paid.

Arwar with Their Master.at.Arms.

The sailors attached to the TaIIap0osa are
somewhat at war with their master-at-
arms, John Holland, who, they say, treated
one Of their number, Jack Leary, while on
the last cruise in most shameful and
brutal manner. Leary, it seems, got drunk
at st. Augustine and was arrested and
lodged in the brig by Holland, who
beat him over the head with a
pair of iron handouts until he
fell prostrate to the floor from sheer ex-
haustion. He then kicked him in the eye,
Holland was reported to Lieutenant Merry,
the executive officer of the ship, but that
gentleman said Leary deserved just what
he got and didn't even reprimand Holland.
1t is due to Commander Kellogg to say
that the matter was never reported to him.
Lieutenant Merry, it is said, is an applicant
to succeed Commander Kellogg, who will
soon be detached from the Tallapoosa.
