The Trotting Match at Suffolk, Park.
There are few exhibitions so attractive to
the generality of mankind as a well-contested
trial ■of speed between two or moro fleot
horses, and civilized countries
horse-racing,- .in some shape or other/is a
favorite popular amusement. While, in con
sequence, of- the Infamous surroundings which
-are. unfortunately intimately associated with
the race-course, the English system of racing
has been .prohibited by, law in 1 many'of the
American, States,. 1 a,- number, of trotting
courseware kept np; and they aro always at
tended hy'ati immense coticonrso of. spec
tators when horses of known fame are placed
upoh them." Besides, however much the fact
may bo dtsguised, the great attraction at tho
numerous agricultural fairs which are frsqnent
ly.heldln’every Northern Statd.and In almost
Overy, important county, is , unquestionably
“trials' of speed” ' between fist trotting
hbrses ; and upon spectacles of this kind thou
sands pf our, best citizens, of fair:Jadles and
innocent children, and of the great mass of
'our-•people, gazo with Intense delight
wherever .a, convenient opportunity is af
forded them. While the old-fashioned English
system of’racing has been effectually tabooed,
the capacity "of onr. horses for fast trotting,
a gait better adapted to tlio customs and habits
of our country, .has;been developed to an
unprecedented extent. Although celebrated
American races arc now rarely or never heard
of. in the Northern States, the feme of fast
trotting steeds resounds, throughout the land,
and their admirers grow ludicrously enthusi
astic in praise oftheirfavorites. Thodevolop
ment of the speed of racers almost necessa
rily requires great expense, as tho horses must
bb, foil-blooded to hope, for eminence, and
must bo nursed in luxurious ease. Fast trot
ters; oh the other hand, have been discovered
among almost every breed of hories possessed
ia.this .country, and the superiority of those
which have become most celebrated has been
gradually acquired, and first noticed while thoy
werp being’useftilly employed as ordinary car
riage: horses.“ It' is said that the first time a
horso ever trotted in public in America for a
Stake was in 1818, when a match was made
for , $l,OOO that no horse could be produced
which omfif trot a mile in throe minutes . A
horse named Boston Blue won tho stake, con
trary to general expectation, by trotting tho
mite in a ftw seconds less than tho prescribed
ti/tie.;', 1 'Gradually the speed of trot
ters has been increased since that period from
three minutes uutll the public ceases to be
astonished when Flora Temple trots a mile In
two minutes and twenty-three seconds, as sho
did on tho Suffolk Park on Thursday. ' This
fhvorite mare was foaled In 1845 in Oneida
comity-;-New Torks end Is, therefore,' now
fourteen years of age. In 1850 she was sold
fqr $176, and shortly afterwards purchased for
about douhle tliat'sum bya resident of New
York city, who first became conscious of her
superior speed by trials 'on the ordinary roads
against well-known fbst horses. Sincothen
she has won a very largo number of purses.
•In 1856-she trotted a mile in the then'unprece-*
dented time of -2 minutes 24$ seconds In a
iaatcji against Taconyj but she has slnco, re
peatedly, excelled her speed on that occasion.
-While we' understand that many of the
spectators of ;ihe 'Tate trot on Suffolk Park
grotty jtdmired the beauty of the &e.,
general dissatisfaction was expressed with tho
manner in which the trot was conducted, the
conviction being almost universal that 3rd rd
snltof this match was arranged and understood
In advance, and that therefore no lair trial of
the speed of the 1 two horses took place., The
grounds were also surrounded with thegam
blera,' sharpers,i thimble-riggers, etc.; whose'
neftrions practices have rendered tho-race
cqurshodious,, .If, in future, Suffolk Park,
br sbmo new trotting course open to tiip "jiiilr,-
lic; and readily accessible to qur citizen's,-cau
be freed from such associations, and rendered
attractive, oken to ladies, as the exhibitions at
fairs are, Jt would prove a proflt
ahlo 'iuvestmeni-to its owners,, and attract an
immense ,'crowd of spectators Whenever cele
-btatedhevses appe&tedupim it.

Reforms in Austria,
Somo time ago, wp stateq thnj;,the Austrian
Ministry and other ilgh offlelalS ytare doing-at
thatl thgy cojlld tp.tpfn'tho Etpjioior’s promise
;pc .eitensivpiy liberal administrative reforms
a merjffiullityi. ifKese people Vellevo that
'Keform would only unsettlQ the public mind—
ihat,the.promiso of-it was in a.manner forced
-from the •'Emperor TsAMtjis-jdShPH, by the
crisis which followed his defeat in Italy—and
that if dolay can be gained; now;, it will not bo
difficult to postpone any and all changes sine
die. ■ ,
A change of Ministry at Vienna, which lias,
jnst been announced, would indicate that the
Emperor of Austria is not satisfied with his
principal State advisers. IL AnEXANDBK Bacii,
Minister ; of the!lnterior, has boon suddenly
dismissed, and ‘given to iff* Goi.u
ouowsKi, who is not a liberal in politics. Ba
ron Baou, now m'liis forty-seventli yoar, camo
into political notice in 1848, as doputy from
the order or class of advocates, he then being
a practicing lawyer of considerable roputo.
He was a representative to the Central Com
mittee of tho Provincial Statos of the Aus
trian monarchy, and was appointed a member
of tho first Libptal,Ministry appointed by tho
Emperor Perdu add. Ho held’tho office of
Minister of Justice, and was also, by. .popular
election, amemjbor of t)ic Constituent Assem
bly. Ho was much respected for tho zeal and
ability with which ho- applied lilmsolf to
reorganize tho judiciary system of Austria.
He was unpopular, however, by his resistance
toliboral concessions to Hungary, which ho
considered as an integral part of tho Austrian
Empire, without any distinctive nationality.
The insurrection of October 6th, 1848, com
pelled him to resign office, .which he subse
quently resnmed under tho Ministry of Princo
Schwaexzeudebo Stadios, whom ho succeed
ed as Ministor of tho Interior, in May, 1849.
Baron Baoh is what 1 is called “ erbteheity,”
with liberal tendencies. 'M.db Hobner, Aus
trian Minister at Paris, to whom Napoleon
gave the memorable, scolding on last New-
Year’s day, bcebmes Minister of Police at Vi
enna. The English journals describe hi in fis
« notoriously a creaturo of the Jesuits,” but
his public career (almost wholly diplomatic)
has not shown him as a man of arbitrary will
or contracted views.
The reforms which tho Emperor FraNois-
JoSEph desired' to carry out relate to tho
national fltiances—to the development of civil,
and religious liberty—to tho better govern
ment of the cities and to n system
of national representation which will really
mako all parts of the Austrian Empire have a
voice In foaming the laws and in: distributing
the public money. As an absoluto monarch,
Francis-JosEph would merit well of his peo
ple by carrying even one of these reforms.; ,no
appears earnest in his intention of granting
them all.
. Tho Government journal at Vionna, whon
stating whfit reforms the Emperor proposes,
hints against the obstacles which have been
raised against them, and significantly adds,
« Too groat caution in advancing is as much
to be avoided Ss too much haste.” Tills, ,if
it mean anything beyond a generalization, is a
decided hint to tho officials not to waste any
more time. The Emporor apparently is a
well-meaning man, who, when he promised ro
forms, really intended,to keep his word. Ho
is a man of decision, too, and tho partial
Ministerial change which ho has made may bo
followed by a complote alteration of his whole
system of official government. Things are at
a pretty pass, indeed, whon a Sovereign,
wishing to do justice to his pooplo, is pre
vented by his officers of stato.
Better Horn “ Occassional.”
(Correspondsnoo of Tlia Praia.]
Washington, September 11, 1859.
The triumphal tour of Judge Douglas through
tho West, is uow the universal topic In'poHtioel
circle! here. The extraordinary evidenco of Ids
popularity afforded by tho oordisl and onthnsUstio
manner In Which ho waa greeted, at the various
prominent railway stations in your State and
Ohio!—at Harrisburg, Pittsburg, Columbus and
Cincinnli,—olearly point but to the Domooraoy their
true policy in tho seieotlon of a Presidential can
didate In 1860. While these significant popular
demonstrations are exceedingly gratifying to the
numerous admirers of the (i Littlo Giant” Id onr
oity, they are as distasteful as gall and wormwood
to the Illustrious donlsen of tho White Bouse,
Polltioal jealousy is a marked trait of his charm*
tor, and against Judgo Douglas It has assumed the
most virulent type imaginable, for as the approval
of the proscribed rebel necessarily eateries with It
tho oobdoranstion of his enemies, every token of
public regard which he reoelvea ie considered by
J. B. us an assault upon himself; and he is there
fore being politically tortured as severely as the
imaginary victims of wltohoraft In, olden times,
who felt InmuaeraUtJ p/ns and needles rankling in
their sides.
One of the happiest hits of ths great ohamplon of
popular acverelgnty, in his late ipsaohcs, is his
ekilful roprodCPdeP theextraet from Mr. Bn
ohanan’s totter of aoeep‘*Uoe, In 1856, whl»h says
that “ the peoplo of a Territory, lit) thou of a
Stale, shall decide for themselvss wheiu' r riarjjry
Bhall or shall not oxist within their limits.” T^' 1
sentence is destined to eternal remembrance. It
will be reoolleoted and ohorlahed by the American
peoplo when all other expressions of Mr. Buchanan
will have passod away Into oblivion. It presents
tho essence of the dootrlno of popular sovereignty
in the most concise, emphatic, and unmtstake
able language in whloli St has ever yet been
expressed. It eweepH away ail tho misera
ble sophistries by whloh the Intervention
ists seek to bolstor up their mischievous and
impraotloable theories. Mr.lßuohanan is, therefore,
destined to achieve a singular ronown, and to oo
onpy a peculiar position in the future hlstoiyof tho
oountry. ’While the name of Patriek Henry is in
timately associated with tho expression, “ Give mo
liborty or give me deathwhile Jefferson’s namo
is closely connected with tits maxim, “ F.lornal vigi
laucejls the price of libertywhile with Jackson’s
fame isooupled his expression, “Tho Federal Union,
it must bo presorred while Webster’s greatness
is linked with hfs - famous remark, “Liberty and

Bnchnnan, when remembered in futuro ages, will

“ The people of a Territory, LIKE TiIOSE OF A

But though the lives and public characters of all
the eminent men I have Just named have harmon
ised with the expressions otosely associated with
their memories, except tho latter, Buchanan will
bo recollected tor hie treachery to the doctrine he
had so clearly enunciated , Charlee lof England
“ nevor said a foolish thing, and norcr did a wiso
one,” and the present occupant of the White
Honso may felicitate himself at onoo upon his
ability to avow bn tho roxod question of tho day,
a correct dootrlno, and his eagerness to betray it;
and to punish to tho extent of his power Its faith

The Constitution of last evening contained a
six-bolnmn nrtlolo in answer to tho artiola written
by Sonator Douglas for Harper's Magazine, on
Popular Sovereignty. This is tho famous produc
tion upCn which alt tho genius of our rulers and
.their satellites has been oxpendod during several
weeks past. . I bavo not yot had time to road it
carefully, hut incline to think that the popular
verdict will be that* the Administration mountain
has only brought forth a moose.
It is astonishing to notloo how rapidly the vast
political machinery of tho nation Is being pat into
motion by all parties, preparatory to tho canvass of
1860. An infinite number of preliminary move
ments aro being made to adranee the fortunes
of Presidential aspirants, and their “namo is
legion.” I shall- watoh the development of
these movomonts os closely ns possible, and from
time to time inform yoqr readers of their progross.
It is daily becoming more hnd moro doubtful
which of tho two great political divisions of tho
oountry, the Demooraoy or the Opposition, is most
distraoted. Tho Administration Is the most potent
element of mischief and disoord In the former, but
as its lease of powhr grows “ small by degrees and
beautifully loss,” and the disposition of tho De
mooraoy to dlsoard it altogether, and to unite upon
the oheriihcd and time-honored prlnoiples of tho
party, increases, the Domocratio ranks aro being
closed up and straightened, while the divisions of
the Opposition are becoming dally more and mote
apparent. OocastoNAn.

A'Sronv, of Murder anp MrsTßßr—Amiost I

romance in a single mght to support a sensation weekly;
enough fact for an enoymoppdia; onnueli novelty for a
now tbontre; and enough misery and wretehodusss for
another Oliver Twist. But tlie st rangost talc of all came
to our knowledge on liwt Friday evening—a tale that
rdads like tile ‘‘Bloody Bear of Timber Crock,” or some
other of the popular effusion of our sepnation cotem
porartoa. wefoel half disposed to give Uto tho render
in chapters, with wood-cuts at the hood of the column,
ana 44 to be continued" at tho thrilling paragraphs, but
that our impatience is as great as their presumed cu
riosity, . ,
On hfidav evening, tlion, to conio to tho proso of our
story. Chief Ruggles received a telegraphic dcapatch
from Harrisburg requesting him to arrest t> notorious,
character ir this pity who keeps a gmnhhng house, and
whom we will call Mr. Z., as we do not wish <o put inoro
on his shouldom than he already carries. Tho charge
preferred asainst Z. was that of murder, ami on it he
wai arrested and taken liofofo the Cluof. Tie scouted
thoideawithall the imlignntion of injured innoeonco,
mid demandod tho fullest investigation into tho charge.
Furthermore, he professed his willingness to go to Har
risburg, and did so in the uhdnight train in company
withaßofficor.
Thisjs all prosy onongli. so far an it goes ; as there is
nothing romantic or poetia aliout Mr. Ruggles. a war
rant, tlm arrest of a man. And his being tagnn to Harris
intrs. But hero comes the ronmneo, of which wo will
give a skeloton, preserving the anonymous capitals in
troduced in the last paragraph:
It seems that within a short time a mulatto wo
man, named Catharine Otivnn. was arrested in Carlisle,
’a., op some trifling ohargo, and committed to prison.
Whilq ip phfon, she became tick, and she appeared to
be labonng'under some montftl distress. Sho was Ire
queutly urged to tell her secret, if sho had one, nnd
within a few days she said that she lind witnessed a
murder, nt Harrisburg, some timo ago, which hAd
caused her uneasiness ever since. This naturally alarm
ed her keepers, who had her forthwith taken before
udge Pearson, and two or three of tlm dignitaries of
{arrisburg. She was closoly questioned, nnd told the
following Btory »
“ In tlm spring of 1857 she lived a* a servant girl in tho
family of,Mrs. 8..wh0 resided in Susquehanna townshjp,
a short distance from Harrisburg. Mr. Z. was a son-in
wof Mrs. 8., having married her daughter. One night
Mr. Z. and another gambler took a stranger to tho house
of Mrs. 8., and Mr. Z. and tho stranger commenced
playing oards in a room in which tho witness nnd Jane,
he sister-in-law of Mr. Z., were present. There was
about one hundred dollars upon the table, nnd a quarrel
arose between the two players. The stranger accused Z.
Of cheating. Z. replied that the stranger was a liar, and
the tatter drew a knife; but tho Üblo was too wide to
allow him to i)se it with effect. Cathraino says
tint Z. thon drrnv a pistol, and, firing it across tho table,
shot the strange' through tho head. Ifo died instantly,
and Jane fainted. Catharine says that Z. nnd his friend
hen dug a hole in the yard, and, wrapping the body np
in a sheet, they buried it, The next morning Mrs. Z,
Bowed .grass seed ovor tho grave, nnd Z. nnd his friend
washed up tho blood in the house. The possession or
this .terrjble secret made Catharine very unhappy, an,!
shp received-presents from Z- to keep quiet, whilo
she was threatened with death ifshn hotruyed him. ftho
aars she remained at the housn throe weeks after the
affair, and she then went to Carlisle,whero she finally
divulged the matter in tho manner already doscrilwd."
Catharine was taken to the house where the alleged
tragedy t6ok ptnoe. and she was desired to point out the
spot whero the body of tho murdered man was buried.
She pointed out tho site occupied by a bake-ovon, adis
tnneefrom the house, which sho said had been built
there after she left. In tho morning the place wad dug
up tq tho depth of three feet, hut the diggers, finding
nothin*! gave uo the soarch. Jane, the sinter-in-law of
Z.. wj}| be examined, nn she has boon sent for by the
authorities. Mrs. B. denies tho story totally, and the
citizens of Harrisburg place no roltance in it. Catha
rine, however, tolls a straight story, the closest exami
nation being unable affect the consistency of her
statements.
- Of course all this produced a great deal of excitement,
both In Harrisburg and Philadelphia. It is a pity l speak
ing yepnrtorially; that there is no truth In it.forwlist an
okqisite sensation it would have boon to those who with
nonciland paper are so eagerly waiting, hkn Queon
Elizabeth in the play, to welcome “blpoq end massn
ore.*' It wouhl have lasted two weeks nt least—a column
a day in tho smallest tyne. There was only wanting
one thing to make it uerfoct. to wit, a bundle oflotters
and a bloody handkerchief. To be sure, a gold ring or
so on the body of tho mftn found under the bake-oven,
with an inscription on it«wonld have added to the ro
mance. but it was not sd Absolutely necossary. •'We can
only regret its untimely and whimsical conclusion, nnd
file it away among our scraps of singutar hallucinations.
Finn on Satfbday,—Tboro was an alarm of
fire on Saturday evening, occasioned by the burning of a
barn owned by William Farrell, on South Third street.
The flames produced a great light and were distinctly
seen all over the city. Tho barn was a very largo ntruc
tura.the lower story being of stone, nnd the superstruc
ture of wood. It contained about twenty, tons of hay nnd
a quantity of grain and lumlier. nil of which was destroy
ed, There were a large nuraberofehickens in the barn,
but fortunately they escaped and dispersed themselves
over Southwark. As they were not seen afterwards, wo
supposed a good many of tho people down tlmtwny fared
sumptuously on fresh eggs, and phlcken soups. It was
impossible to discover tho origin of the fire, os the
Jlsmft* had scarcolr broken out Ufore the building was
was beyond any hope of preservation.- A numlx*ro
stonmnnd other engines woro on the ground, and did
good service. ,
. While tho firo was in progress a man, named George
Ferguson, wm seriously wounded in the side with a
pistol shot. Hisaa»aaUy Ind to a great deal of excite
ment among tho firemen. There were a dozen rumors
alioutliia being a tnctnl»er of the Khiffler, or tho Moya
mensiug, or the Franklin, and others equallv extrava
gant, some of which entno nvor the wires, and cot into
one or two of tho Sunday pipors. Tim facts of the case
are, that George was sitting on a rail of a fence \tith
some other spectators, that the rail save way. and pre
cipitated them to tho ground, and that a pistol in the
rocket of Ferguson exploded and inflicted tho wound.
He was not a member of any fire company, but lived in
the southwestern part of tho city. He was a carpenter
by trade, and was removed to his home suffering se
verely,

Sembered that on Banday, Julr 18th. ttecantjOf the

Mayor Henry issued orders totba police to atop the cars*
sotting forth that the running of cars upon the. Sabbath
was a breach of the peace. On the following Bunnay (tp*.
J7th of July > two care started m the afterneon from tSa,\.
western depot of the company, and the first car va¥;
stopped before it had proceeded far. William 11. Jean
nolle. the driver. was arrested, ami next day he was hold
by Ahloriiian liutchinson to answer the charge ot a
breach ot the peace.
The same week tho matter wus taken tnto the Bn
promo Cour and argued before Judge James Thompson
on a writ m .tabea*corpus, asking his discharge. Judge
1 hot hdkou decided that the mero running ofa car upon
u Swptfc wa» a breach ofthe peace, and the defendant
Joandelle was renianded to answer. This decision put
the casq of Jeandollo baek to where it was l>ofore the
writ of habeas corpus wag issued, find on Saturday it
pumo up before Judro Ludlow, in the Court or Quarter
Sessions. Cases of breach of the peace are always de

out the formality of a jury. It seems necesisary For the
prosecution to prove to the satisfaction of Judge
Ludlow that Jenndelle was committing a real, abso
lute hroaoh of the poaoc, or their case falls to the
ground.
In the examination the same counsel appearod that

Messrs. W. A. Porter, Ldw. Olmstaad. and w. 8. Price
for the prosecution 5 and Messrs. W. L. Hirst and David
Webster for thp oefonco.
Mr. W. fl. Prico opened the case upon the part of the
prosecution. He mud:
Inpreaonting this fcnse on the part of the Common-
prnposo to stAte vert succinctly the law that
will he invoked, and the facts to be proved.
This case is one that has already engrossed a largo
measure of publm interest nud attention—not more,
however, than the grave import ofi»s practical scope
and hearings would naturally arouse In a Christian Com
munity, If we have estimated this case aright, it is the
entering wedee for an extensive obliteration of Pondsy
in Philadelphia, and in thst aspect it is one of the moat
important that has ever been presented to this court for
adjudication, we are not here to invoke any new law
[or t he case in hand, but to ask and to contend that what
has heretofore been held to He the law of Pennsylvania
in cases of like character, shall lie declared to be the
law of this one also. It has been enunciated by the Bo
prenm CouTt, in more cases than one. that Christianity
—With the I/ord’s day. dedicated to rest and worship, as
one of its loading and distinctive institutions—is, and
always has been, a part of theqommon law of Pennsyl
vania. In the spirit of that Christian common law. and
declaratory of it. the statute of 17M has prohibited the
performance of apt wordly employment or business
whatsoever on the Lord’s day. and made inch perform
ance an unlawful act. That common lawnnd that sta
tute, have ordamyd and legalized tho lord’s day as a
Christian institution—as a day ol rest and worship—and
undertaken to Protect theconmmmtv in the enloyment
qt it ns Bitch. That common law and statute have or
dained a higher order of nenco for tho Lord’* day than
that winch, pertains to the secular days of the week,
lha.r have legalized sna are meant to enforce a more
ported pcp.co-a peace in harmony with the objects anc
purposes of Sunday ip a Christian institution—a peaee
and good order that is essential to the devotions, both
public and private, of a Christian people, and witnon
which tho groat purposes ofthe Christian Sunday wouh
be defeated. That peaee and good order, thus guaran
tied to every citizen, have been broken in the case be
fore the court.
If the, herd's day. or Suodar, were to be viewed mere
ly as a/dvil institution, as adayof legalized rest, as a
evil regulation for the government of man as ainember
of society, as was done by the learned judge Whodehver
cd the opinion in the caso of the Commonwealth vs.
Hpeeht, still that more peace add reposq jteceesary to
the enjovmontofthe day* alone of legalised rest, would
he the right of every citizen. And those repeated de
cisions in cases that will bo Piled; to the effect that acta
which. If done on a secular day. do not amount to
breaches of the peaeo. will 1 lie Such breaches If done or
performed on Sunday, would be as potent as ever in onr
favor Whether for worship and repose, or for repose
only, the law of Pennsylvania has clothed the first day of
the wreVwith a Mnetity again** secular-labor and busi
ness. And itnasbeenannounoedaethe solemn judgment
of this court, in the application ofthaiflaw—in'the Com
monwealth vs. Tiemann—that although worldly busi
ness may lie carried on on Sunday without disturbing*
neighbor, orin any wav attracting public notice,and thus
although the law is violated, and its penalty may be en
forced, no breach of tho peace can fx> charged on the
,offender;, yet.if the business transacted be of suoh a
character as to disturb the quiet of the neighborhood,
or ol an individual neighbor, or be carried on >n the vi
cinity of a place of worship, so as to distorotbose as
sembled tor religions purposes, it would be a misdemea
nor and a breach of tho public peace.
It is this exposition of the law, made by tbn Supreme
Court iii the case of a ship builder, again applied hr this
conrt to the case or a newsbov, and again to this identi
cal case by a learned Judge ofthe Supreme Court, that is
now asked to be once more applied to the’case inhand,
and to the corporation that puts this defendant forward
to test the power and oertaintr of that law. Tho more
than ordinary Importance of this caso arises from the
tact..that it is, pot only the single act of this defendant
that is involved in it, but over his shoulder* is si u*ht to
be established, by the decision of this court, a license to
all .the passenger railwny companies in the citv to run
their care on Sunday, and thus obliterate, to a great ex
tent, that observance of the daywh'ch the lawhssor
dained, whteh has been so signally preserved in Phila
delphia, and has been pointed to with so much pride,
Clio enterprise of running cars on Sunday is admitted
to lie an unlawful one. Iho corporation putting this de
fend i*ht forward to test the law. is willing to par tho pe
cuniary penalty for a violation or the law. They are
willing and desirous to set the provisions of the act of
J7P4 at defiance, ifthe result shall be a profitable balance
in their favor,; and before this case is dosed, they will
bo found invoking the countenance and aid of this court
to enable them to do so.
But wo contend, and shall proceed to show, by appro
priate evidence, that their Sunday business involves
more than ft mere violation or the act of J79t; that it
disturbs the quiet of noirhhnrhoods and thoroughfares;
that it dißturtm congregation* assembled for religious
worsni p l and that it fans within that description of Sun
day occupations whmh have alrendv been judicially de
termined to amount to a breach of the peace.
Tim defendant, who is the'drive* of one of the cars of
tho (itcon ana Coate*-»treets Passenger Railway Com
pany. is charged with a breach of the pence on Sunday,
tho 17th of July last. To sustain that charge It will be
shown to the court that tha defendant, on the day in
question, and at the time of arrest, was engaged in Ins
ordinary worldly employ inont and business—thst ofdn
vmg the oar of ths company, containing passengers who
were being earned for hire, upon the public highway,
then an unlawful act, because prohibited by the act of
Assembly of the 53d of April, J7W. And it willbe fur
ther shown that the einploiment ami business In which
the defendant was thus unlawfully onvased at the time
of his arrest was not only in itself a disturbance of that
peace and rood order guarantied bv law to «I! citizens
nn the Lord s day., and which thnso who attend upon
worship are conscientious and jnalon* to preserve, but
that it waa attended also with actual disorder, justifying
the arrest. , *
The cars of the railway company were nmon the pre
vious Sunday, July 10th. on the streets already desig
nated, through a well-built and densely-populated part
of the city, and upon the line of which are several
churches, attended by thousands of persons. The ex*
perienee of that dav caused a number of citizens who
bad thus (wen disturbed at home, and at their churches,
to cal! the attention or the Mayor to the subject, and to
request his interference to prevent a repetition of it.
The Mayor, consulting the decisions ofthe Supreme
Court, aqd of this court in Tiemann’a case, regarded
the running ofthe cars on Sunday as a breach of the
peace, and notified tha president of the Green and
Coates-streeta Railway Company accordingly. It wa*
determined on the part ofthe company that one ear
should ue nin on Sunday, the 17th of July, which, in no
-AoedenM with,the notice of the Mayor, would be fol
lowed by an arrest oftbedrirer. and that the question of
the breach of the peace would be thus raised and deter
mined. 7 , i
A car was started, filled with paasenvers, from whom
[are was taken by the conductor, and driven by the de
fendant. It will appear that a large number of parsons
had congregated in the neighbor! ood, some of whom
followed the car until the arrest was made. Therowrill
1* evidence, also, cf disorder lo the can The driver was
arrested and bound oyer to answer at tins court for a
breach ofthe peace. A Ao&eo*/erpiM, taken hv the de
fendant, was heard by Judge Thompson, of the Supreme
Court, and resulted In jhe remanding of the defendant
to an*werhere. The opinion of that learned Mid re in tho
dee will be haijded to your Honor. Wo shall present
tho cabs hers as it was presented lie fore the judre of the
Supreme Lourt; and in order that the nature end extent
of the disturbance caused on Sunday by the business m
which the defendant was enraged, at the time of his
arrest maybe the better understood, wo will offer the
testimony .of those who experienced Itat their homes
and at their places of worship, and who are. therefore,
competent to convey to jour Honor a reliable descrip
tion of it.
Beyeral persons living on the line of the read made
application to the Mayor of ths city of Philadelphia to
stop the running of the cars of the Green and Coates
atreets Passenrer Railway, Company, they behoving it
was a breach of the peace for them so to ilo; that it had
been so decided by the case of tho Common* ealih vs.
1 teinann, ami the ease of the Commonwealth «•*, Kvre.
Accordingly nofiroswere sojjt to the ntficqis pf the Cnm-
H'Miy, notifying them to atop running thair cars on Bmt
flay. Tha offence was repeated nnd the defendant ar
rested. Weauezuthathts running the car on Sunday

fur. Hirst.—l hen l oßieot to any evidence from this
witness in this ease as to the cars running on a Sunday,
unless he states whether the cars ran on the 17th of July.
/udge Ludlow was of the opinion that the proeecution
might show that the defendant wa* entered in a basi
ness contrary to the peace of the dav. They might
show that Jeandefie wa* enraged, in this business on
Sunday, and that hewM eommittmr a breach of the
peace. But he could not receive evidence of the acts of
others m) which to try iMendant.
Mr. Pnce.—Now, Mr. Prck, tell ua whether you ever
saw these cars running of a fined*/, and whether they
disturbed your reace or thatofvour family ?
Mr. Hirst.-Wait a minute, Mr, Peck. I undo-stand
tny friend of the prosecution loeoncedothe point ruled
arainst him by your Honor. Js he not in this question

Judge Ludlow could weil conceive how a car being
driven violently over a pared hi; hwajr produced a noise.
But wo could not charge the defendant with a breach of
the peace m producing such a not*, to the diPtnrbsnea
ot any man or body of men, unless he was directly con

Mr. Price wanted td show hovrlt was impossible for
the defendant to pa mi* his basinets cn Sunday without

Jndye Ludlow.—it amounts to the seme thinr.
Mr, Olmstead.—CAnnot we show that the driving of

Mr. Hirst.—Were the care more noisy than a car

Mr. Iltrst.—What were you doing when these cars dts

Mr Him.—Yon spoke a few moments since of beinr
disturbed: now I want to know how or ut what way were
yon disturbed ?
Witneas.—l cannot answer that question.
Mr. Hirst.—How earn* yon to be disturbed, then ? .
Witness.—l disturb** by the noise of the cars in
taking away the quiet of a day that belonged to me ae an
American citizen.
Mr. Hirst-—Oh! I see, A kind of sentimental disturb
ance.
W itnaas.—The quiet was broken in.
Mr. Hirst.—And that was the annoranoe -
Witness.—lt was.
Judge Ludlow.—U would be better to confine this ex
amination to the (sets of tbe oase.and show whether the
cars, in runninr. placed the breach of the peace al
leged asainst Hie defendant.
Mr. Him.—That, your Honor, is Just what 1 am at
tempting to do.
Joseph Buteber, affirmed.—l resida at (18 KeUe street,

Mr. Hirst.—What do you propose to prove by this wit

Mr. Price propostdto show that the eonrrecatiociof
witnesses attending tbe Green-street Methodist Church
was disturbed by tbe running of cars 00 thatdaj.
Mr. Hirst.—l hope the ruling of your Honor will be
strictly adhered to.
Judge Lndlow saw the extent of the offer.’ A man
was here charged with a breach of the peace. Tt nutht
▼erv weH lie that a man might drive a carriage so as to
make a noise, but yet not to warrant hts arrest on this
chance. It wonld be anfast to the defendant to hear
testimony shout an offence which it is not elleted that
he ever committed. The only testimony he cock! hear
from the defendant would be as to the rate of speed
dmen by the ears as cornered with that when Jean
delle wai arrested. FuruUr. what wm wanted were
facts, not opinions. This wee the widest range he could
allow.
Mr. Hirst did not want to have testimony here about
any church. He did not want it in the ease, and the
oifer of Ins fncod pained him. It wan not fair to either
the court, the compeer, or the witaesms, *nd be pro
tested aramst it.
. Mr. Pneo.—Were you in the church or not when yon
heard these cars?
Judge Ludlow.—Xo matter where he wa*» Jn or out of
it. It does not effect the condition of the evidence.
Witness.—l saw the csrs.soing down the street; they
were gome down *t an ordinary speed; I ait id fbe ••-

Cross-examined.—We i*ave service on Wednesday
evening, between ei*ht sad nine o'clock; the ear* do
not disturb ns. as we oecni.y the basement, and are abut
in from the street: the room where we meet lam the
cpurch building, but is far back from the street: ear
nates do sometimes pass Along oa Sunder ; tbev make
some noise, but not being eo constant and uninterrupted
j* the cars, they do not eraate such a disturlwsee; the
hells are not so annoying aa the heavy rumbling of the
wheels : I think that cars make more seise than c*r
naces: the can were goingat an Ordinary speed l iber
did not disturb tne in passing alone the street, as I was
not fixed in my attention upon a certain oWect.
Mr. hirst—Doe* not your congregation make re
