SUNDAY CAR QUESTION. (Continued from Page 333.) 'The Injunction granted on Both aims. The result of all this is that the co mplainants, Sparhawk and others, have, in my opinion, a clear right to my interposition to protect them in that enjoyment of their d w elling-houses and their pews, to which I have shown they are en titled by law. It may be that there is a formal error in the joinder of plaintif f s having distinct interests. If there is, it is remediable by amendment. And the very eminent counsel of the defendants, who have argued these cases with signal ability, as well as with fairness, have properly declined to avail themselves of the error, seeking only a decision upon the merits of the controversy. In the case of Sparhawk against the Union Passenger Railway Company, I shall thereupon grant the injunction for which _I am moved. The case of Kenton against the same Com pany and others is, if possible, still more clear. He is a stockholder, and, as such, he has a right to insist that the Company shall do nothing ultra sires, or contrary to law. Such conduct imperils his interests. He may have purchased 1 his stock with a full knowledge that the Com pany was acting illegally, but his right is never- 1 theless to demand that there shall be no con tinuance in illegality. There is no analogy between the position of this complainant and that of Scott vs. The Atlantic and Great West -ern-Railroad Company, to which my attention has been called. Scott was seeking to destroy the Company of which he claimed to be a shareholder. This plaintiff seeks only to com pel his trustees to obey the law, and act within the compact of their powers. He has a clear interest to , be protected. The control of a corporation by courts of equity at the instance of a stockholder is a well recognized branch of equity jurisdiction. That the acts of which this plaintiff complains are unauthorized and unlawful is not to be dis puted. I have already shown that running cars on Sunday is contrary to law. It exposes the defendants at least, to the imposition of a pen alty. It would be a scandal were Ito weigh their possible profit, gained by defiance of taw. against the Penalties to which they are subject ing themselves. It is also plain that they have no legal authority to carry the mails or to enter into a contract with the United States Govern ment to carry them. If anything is settled it is 'this, that a corporation has no power beyond what is given by its charter. What is not clearly given is denied. These defendants were incorporated as a Passenger Railway Company, to transport passengers, and nothing else. By the law that gave them being . they were posi tively prohibited from permitting freight of any kind to pass over their railway. And in addi tion to this they were expressly subjected to the city ordinances, one of which interdicts the transportation over passenger railways of any other thing than passengers. It was therefore beyond their power to contract with the Feder al Government to collect and carry the mails, and every step taken in . pursuance of such an attempted contract is without right. As well might they have contracted to transport all the cannon and military stores which the Federal Government may have to pass through the city. It appears probable that the defendants sought this contract as a means to enable them to over-ride the State law, but instead of relieving them from the obligation to cease from their ordinary worldly employment on the Lord's day, it makes their conduct a double violation of law. In this case, therefore, as well as in the other, an injunction will be awarded. Sparhawk et al. vs. The Union Passenger Railway Company of Philadelphia. Let an injunction issue, to continue until final hearing, restraining the defendants, their officers and servants, from running or permit ting to run, any car over any of the streets of the city of Philadelphia, on the railway of the defendants, or otherwise, on the first day of the week, commonly called Sunday, on the com plainants, giving bond in the sum of $5OO with two sureties to be approved by me, conditioned to indemnify the defendants for all damages they may sustain by reason of this injunction. Kenton vs. The same and others. Let a similar injunction issue, and also an injunction to restrain the defendants, their offi cers, conductors and agents from doing any act whatsoever under or by reason of any contract, or alleged contract, entered into by them or any of them for the carrying of the mails, on the complainants giving bond with two sureties in the sum of $5OO, conditioned to indemnify the defendants for all damages they may sus tain by reason of this injunction. `4lsin ttE Wait. THE EXECUTIVE. Freedmen's Bureau. —General Howard has ordered the restoration of the property of Joseph E. Davis, brother of Jefferson Davis, he having been pardoned some time since. This includes $20,000 of rent, accu mulated since the pardon. J. W. Addison, sentenced to ten years' impreionment for mail robbery in Boston, .has,been pardoned by the President. 'THE OCTOBER ELECTIONS. The popular will has been expressed most emphatically and conclusively in support of Congress, through the elections held last week in the great States of Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and lowa. The present policy of the President has been repudiated as de cidedly as his former policy was endorsed in the elections of 1864. In the city of Philadelphia, though the majorities have been reduced by the power of patronage and the cry of " negro equality," yet all the Republican Congressmen were re elected, four out of five ; and we hold very much the same position in municipal and State affairs as before. A State Senator, was gained by the Democrats, McCandless, in .place of Nicolls, in the southern part of the city (First District). The names of the successful candidates in the city, with their official majorities, are as follows : Geary, Gov., 5385 ; Congressmen, Randall, Dem., 4464 ; O'Neill, Rep., 3137 ; Myers, R., 1004; Kelley, R., 2425; Taylor, R., includ ing Bucks Co., 548 ; State Senator, McCand less, D., 1547 ; President Jude,g Allison, R., 6071;`Associates, Wm. S. Peirce, R., -5614; Brewster, R., 5526; Clerk Quarter Sessions, Butler, R., 4399; Prothonotary, .McManes, R., 5783; Recorder of Deeds, Gen. Owen, R. 1401. i Receiver of Taxes, Peltz, R., 5167; , City Commissioner, Conner, R. 3916; Coroner, Daniels, R., 4031. The 'Republicans have carried 13 or 14 Assembly men out of 18, Select Council 18 out of 27 ; -Common Councils, 36 out of 49. The vote of the State gives Geary 17,416 majority. But more important than all, we have kept every Congressman, even Koontz, who only secured his seat in the 39th Con gress by contesting it with his opponent, and have gained two members—Cake, in Schuyl kill county, and Covode, in Indiana, Fayette and Westmoreland; making the Delegation stand 18 to 6, instead of 16 to 8, as'before. Ohio gives a popular majority of about 45,000. Here all our Congressmen are elect ed save one—Columbus Delano, in the Thir teenth District; Gen. Morgan's election is claimed by 250 majority. Indiana gives a'popular majority of about 13,000 and sends 8 out of 11 Congressmen, which leaves matters exactly where they were. lowa gives her usual majority of 20,000 to 25,000, and returns, as before, an entire Re publican delegation to Congress. Newark, N. J.,• hold a charter election on Tuesday, which resulted in a Republican majority of 1162 and a gain of 3 Republicans in the Common Council. For the first time in ten years every de . partment of the city government is under Republican control. Baltimore.—On Wednesday the 10th, at the election of Mayor and. Councils the Radi cals carried the whole city government, elect ing the Mayor and every Councilman. Gen. Butler has been nominated for Con gress by the Republicans of the Sixth Massa chussets District. Among the results which were expected to flow from the election, was the acceptance by the South of the very lenient terms pro posed by Congress. The Charleston News of Oct. 21, Comes out in an editorial in favor of the Constitutional amendment of Congress. It says that no other alternative seems to re main for the South but to accede to the amendment, and also to set about the election of such Senators and Representatives in Con gress from the South as can take the test oath. . SCANDALOUS IMPOSITION On Thursday, October 11, the Philadelphia Ledger, regarded as a careful reporter of news, but whose special Washington tele grams carry with them an invariable and pernicious taint of "My policy," and are be lieved to be derived from the White House and the Departments themselves, published a despatch which has created more excite ment and .alarm than anything since the bogus proclamation calling for a day of hu miliation and for four hundred thousand men, in the summer of 1864. The despatch declared that the President had, propounded the following startling in quiries to his Attorney General, to be an swered in writing : First. Is the present Congress, composed of members from the Northern States alone, such a Congress as the Constitution requires, or is it an illegal and unconstitutional assem blage? Second. Would existing circumstances jus tify the President in sending his next annual message to an illegal and unconstitutional as semblage, pretending to be the Congress of the United States? third. Does that clause in section fifth of the first article of the Constitution, which makes each House the judge of the elections, returns and qualifications of its own mem-' hers, give to the present Congress the right to exclude the members from ten'States, or to impose dishonorable and unconstitutional terms upon their admission? Fourth. Does the President's oath of offiee require him to enforce those provisions of the Constitution which give to each State an equal right of representation in Congress? [Article Ist, section 2d; section 3d, Article sth, last clause.] Fifth. What steps does the Constitution and his oath of office require the President to take in order to secure • the assemblage of a Constitutional Congress? The despatch added that the President evidently had made up his mind that the 39th Congress was not a legal body, and inti mated pretty certainly that this would prove to be the Attorney General's opinion also. Great was the excitement caused by this telegram which the Ledger had telegraphed to the New York papers in time for the same day's issue. It sounds so much like the man, it came through such trustworthy channels and from sources regarded as so well informed, that it secured general cre dence. Gold rose to 153 more rapidly than at any time since the battle of Gettysburg, and groups of excited men everywhere dis cussed the probabilities of another civil war. Some, indeed, doubted its genuineness, but the great majority were more than half con vinced of its truth. Only by diligent and repeated telegraphing to Washington, did the agents of the public learn, late in the day, that the President and his Attorney General both denied that any such questions had been put. On the next day, the Ledger acknowledged itself in error, and had the good sense to say, what it might as well have said the day previous, that the President had already fully acknowledged the legality of the present Congress, by sending his message to it last December, hence showing that the report could not be well-founded. It also promised strict inquiry into the origin of the fraud, and on Saturday it was announced that all the facts connected with the despatch, the original papers, the name of the Washington informant of their correspondent, and the grounds upon which the despatch was based, had been forwarded to the President for ex amination. On Monday the Ledger announced that its investigations resulted in fastening the story on H. M. Flint, (author of the "Dru id" letters furnished to the New York World and other pro-rebel papers during the war,) who was himself deceived by the statements of others, whose names he declined to give. THE CITY. Four _Hundred and Seventy-one Deaths, including one hundred and twenty-seven by cholera, are reported in this city for last week. Financial.—The receipts of the Govern ment for the last fiscal year, ending June 30, 1866, were 056,039,195 06, and the expendi tures $518,347,337 70, showing an excess of receipts of $37,691,857 36. This .statement does not include any transactions in loans, but the payment of interest on the public debt of $133,074,737 27 is included in the expenditures. At the beginning of tht fiscal year, July 1, 1865, there were $658,309 15 in the Treasury, and at the close of the year, June 30, 1866, $130,669,815 19. The gain during the year was therefore $129,811,- 506 t. S. N o MISCELLANEOUS. The Loss of the Evening Star, a steamer from New York to New Orleans, October 3d, _with over three hundred passengers and crew, is deeply deplored. The passengers, before starting, regarded the boat unseawor thy and overloaded—why, then, trust their lives to it? Cholera.—Forty-three cases of cholera, and eighteen deaths were reported in Chicago on Oct. 13th. FOREIGN. The Atlantic Cable has nothing for the public ear at least, for days together. By steamer from England we learn that in fifty five days ending September 21, the cable earned £46,048, which would make an aver age, including Sundays and stoppages of land lines, of £B3l a day, and if they exclude ,the exceptional days when the cable could not work at all, the average would be £960 a day. These figures are very far from con firming the recent statement in the. London limes that the cable was earning at the rate of £900,000 a year. An English Reform Demonstration.—At Manchester, England, on September 24th, there was an enormous demonstration in favor of Reform, it being estimated that not less than 200,000 people ware present at the meeting. Mr. _Bright was the principal ora tor, and in , ' his address stated that if the people of Old England were drunken, igno rant, demoralized and unfit to be intrusted with the franchise, as alleged by the govern ing class, they had become so from the effects of an aristocratic rule which controlled all the powers of the State for centuries; for the THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1866. people of the same stock were moral, edu cated, happy, and exercising the franchise in New England, under another form of govern ment." A terrible fire broke out in Quebec on Sunday, Oct. 14, which destroyed 2000 houses and made 18,000 persons homeless, with a loss of $2,500,000. lifexieo.—lntelligence has been imparted to the holders of Mexican rentes and bonds in Paris to the effect that no funds have been received from the Mexican Government for the payment of the interest and coupons falling due on the first of October, and that consequently no payment will be made.—lt was reported at Vera Cruz that Maximilian had taken a strong stand in relation to retain ing his empire in Mexico; that French money was on its way to him, and that the French troops will remain to support him. It is also said that Maximilian has gone over to the Church party as a dewier resort. To satisfy the clergy, he had to restore ;all the Church property, annul some of the offensive laws previously passed, and dismiss two of his ablest ministers. The embarkation of the Eighty-first regiment of' French infantry had been stopped, to await information from France, expected by General Castleneau, Na poleon's special envoy, who was en rbute to Mexico. A European banker had promised to loan Maximilian $17,000,000. The latest story comes from Vienna, and is to the effect that the Mexican Empress Carlotta, now iq Europe, has visited the Austrian Emperor, and that she informed him of Maximilian's probable return, and the resumption by him of his title of Aus tiian Archduke.

CABINET ORGANS.—We are sure we are do ing a real service to smaller churches and Sun day-schools, as well as to'lovers of music gen erally, in calling attention to the Cabinet Or gans manufactured by Messrs. Mason & Hamlin. No one who has heard these instruments will be surprised at the very strong favor with which they are regarded by . our leading organ ists. Their quality of tone is admirable, round, sonorous, pure, and sympathetic ; while they - have abundant volume of tone for any private house, and quite sufficient for smaller churches and for such halls as are usually occupied by Sunday-schools. With all this, their capacity for expression is wonderful, exceeding in some respects even that of the largest and most cost ly church organs. This is mainly effected by the introduction of a swell, operated upon an entirely new principle, which gives the per former very efficient control of the tones he produces. The moderate price at which they are sold, and the little space they occupy, are important practical advantages in these mstru ments.—New York Commercial Advertiser. .

In memory of Mrs. Raiguel, it is pleasant to be able to record so much that was amiable and good in her character and manners. If anything could have everted the stroke of mortality or made death less inexorable, it would seem that she might have been spared. She sustained almost all the various rela tions known in social life, and•as a wile, a mother, a daughter, a sister, a friend and Church member she so faithfully fulfilled whatever was demanded, that her departure proved like snapping all the cords of a beautiful harp and leaving it silent and tuneless. To this wide circle her loss is an irreparable loss. though, so well are we convinced that her exchange of worlds brings to her an unspeakable gain, that the bitterness of bereavement is swallowed up in the conviction of her immortal beatitude. in.aarly -1 ire. he-1 rdri and rtie came out from the world, and for thirty years main tained an example consistent with her Christian pro fession. For the last twenty years she has resided in this city, and when the Olivet Presbyterian Church was organized in 1855, slit became one of its original members, of which her husbatd was an elder. •Through life, she kept her end in view, yet when, by the progress of disease, she understood that God's finger was pointing toward the tomb, she cast aside every earthly . and family care, and set her house in order, against the decisive moment. She repaired anew to her Redeemer in whom alone she trusted for salvation, and received at His faithful hands new testimonies of forgiveness and fresh and large be stowments of hope and courage and strong consola tion. She felt ready to deport. She longed for the time to come. In view of the happy prospects, she declared she could clap her hands for joy. As the hart pauteth after the water-brooks, so panted her' soul after the living God, and her last whispered words articulated—" Come. Lard Jesus, come quick ly." Consciously she walked down so the grave and consciously departed, going forth like one who knew the way and feared net to enterit. The waters seemed to divide before her, and we knew she was passed over into the better country, even ttie hea venly. grpscut gatirtg. . .tai - The Presbytery of Pittsburgh will meet in the Third Presbyterian Church.

BRADBURY'S LATEST WORE. THE KEY-NOTE. A New Collection of Sacred and Secular Music, far Choirs and Singing-Schools. By William B. Bradbury. Price, $1.50 each; $13.50 per dozen. Mr. Bradbury is so well known, and has had such lore-eminent success as an 'author of Church Music Books, that it is hardly necessary to commend his productions. His last work previous to this—" The juhileo.---has enjoyed a sale of over 225,000 copies. It is sufficient to say, then, that this is his latest work in this department, and that its success is worthy of the.reputation of its author. It is complete in all its departments, and is printed on clear, large type, one part on a staff. DR. MASON'S LATEST WORE. ASAP.EI; OR, THE CHOIR-BOOK. A New Collec tion of Sacred and Secular Music for Choirs. Sing ing -Schools and Conventions. By Lowell Mason, Dr. of Music, and William Mason. Price, $1.50 each; .$13.50 per dozen. The Elements ,of Music Notation are illustrated by a large variety of pleasing, social pieces, part songs, glees, &e. The Tune Department contains mostly new music, and provides fur every meter, and the Anthem Department is full and attractive. It is safe to pronounce this one of the best, most attractive works of its class which even the distinguished, author of "Carmine Sacra" has ever issued. It is enriched by new tunes from Mr. William Mason, and many ftom eminent foreign and American sources.' MR. ROOT'S LATEST -WORK. THE DIAPASON. A Collection of Church M.usie, to which are prefixed a new and comprehensive view of Music and its Notation; Exercises for Reading Music and Vocal Training; Part Songs. Rounds, ac. For ChoirF, Singing-Schools, Conventions, &c. By George F. hoot. Price, $1.50 each; $13.50 per o ozon. Mr. Root's name is as a household word throughout the land in connection with that music which is of tenest sung and most enjoyed. A large portion of 'those popular songs which are ringing from every hillside, and valley, such: as - Tramp, traran, , tramp! the boys are marching," - Rally 'round the Flag." &c., are the product of his fertile imagination. Those who like his songs will be likely to appreciate his sacred music. The "Diapason" is his latest and best work in this department. THE NEW BOOR.. THE PRAISE OP ZLON, for Choirs, Singing-Schools and Societies. By Solon Wilder and F. 5. Daven port. Price, $l5O each; $13.50 pdr dozen. A new book, recently published, and its success justifies tho very confident, predictions in regard to it. A prominent teacher or music writes thus respecting it; - To say that I like it would be too mild a phrase. lug thoroughly and decidedly in love with it. Its har monies are so unusual in a work of the class, and so rich and effective, that I have a real feast every time I treat myself to an hour for its perusal." The following are characteristics of this book :-1. Its music is fresh, original, popular; not meaningless on the one hand, nor too difficult on the other. 2. It has much variety, presenting for the first time origi nal compositions by celebrated composers: as Chas. Zenner, Novelle, bleukomna. &0., &c. 3. It has a great amount of new music. 4. It has a fine variety of Tunes of all meters, as welt as Anthems and Set Pieces, arranged as Choruses. and also with Solos, Duets. &c. 5. It has as a careful selection of the best tunes from Carmine Sacra and other sources. 6. Its Singing-School Department is Clear, concise, practi cal. 7. It is rich in Singing-School music; Part Songs, Glees, Bounds. &c. 8. The type is large and clear, one part on stair.

THE NEW CAT:MINA SACRA, being one of the most complete and popular collections of Psalm and Hymn Tunes, Anthems. Chants, Sentences, ac., for Choirs, Congregations, Singing-Schools, and Socie ties, ever published. By Lowell Mason. Price, SLSO each; $13.50 per dozen. If any American book of sacred music is entitled to be held as classic, it is this. Originally published twenty-five years since, it has had an an amount and continuance of popularity never enjoyed by any other book. Over half a million copies have been sold, and it still continues one of the beet-selling of church music books. Scarcely a singer can be found who has not used it; and whatever other books they may have or lack, few choirs feel that they can do without "Car mine Sacra." It is good, very good ; every page is good. This book more than any other—perhaps it would be true to say all others combined—furnishes the material from which nearly all the hymn and tune books are compiled. Its Elementary Depart meat, or Guide to Musical Notation, has recently been made new, and the 'Carmine Sacra" has no superior as a Singing-School Book. There is no danger in re commending such a book. It will probably continue to sell and be used longer than other books now be fore the public. MASON BROTHERS, 1065-3 t 596 Broadway, New York.

FIFTY-TWO GOLD OR SILVER ME DALS;or other highest Premiums have been award ed to MASON & HAMLIN. for the important im provements effected by them, and for the SUPERIORITY OF THEIR INSTRU MENTS TO ALL OTHERS'.

B AMLIN CABINET OLtGANS are the instruments long wanted.—of the very best quality. abundant power, not too expensive, nor liable to get out of order. • - . For private use, in drawing-rooms. &c.. they are not less desirable, and are finding a place in the musi cal families of the principal cities. . . They are adaptedto a wider range of music than the piano, being better fitted for all sacred music and for much secular music, while their quickness of action is 'such that the most lively, rapid music can be played on them. Then their cost is greatly less, as well as their liability to get out of order. BRIEF EXTRACTS FROM OPINIONS OF DISTINGUISHED MUSICIANS.

THE MASON it HAMLIN CABINET OR GANS must not be confounded with other reed in struments, from which they vary essentially, their superiority being largely derived from PATENTaii IMPROVEMENTS, which cannot not be employetr by other makers. Among them are:— THE AUTOMATIC BELLOWS SWELL (patented,) a most important invention, and greatly the best swell ever devised; being much more effec tive and easily used than any other. The variety and beauty of effect of which it is cable, cannot be appre ciated: except from actual use. The many attempts to imitate or find a substitute for this swell prove its value. None of them, however, approach it in excel lence and simplicity. EUP.ROVED SELPARTUSTING VALVES (Patented) secure much more perfeot action, durabili ty, and freedom from liability to get out of order. WOOD'S OCTAVE COUPLER (patented,) in .effeetnearly doubles the power of the instrument in which it is used. NOISELESS SAFETY VALVES (patented.) prevent the hissing sound often heard.. THE IMPROVED COMBINATION RE GISTER (patented,) gives great facility in drawing stops. Circulars, with full particulars. and list with Dins iations of styles and prices, sent free to any address.
