In anotlnr coiuiuu will bo found the pro ceedings of the convention ot railroad men who mot venter day in tbia city. 1 he folio win Ig a correct copy ot the lemonatrance adopted by them against an increase in the tariff on I ail mad iron: To the Honorable the Senate and Uoe ol Representa tive of the t altco. States In Cimuraai mhl,i, Ihe National C'onvenil .n ei President Suuerlntend enta and Cbiel Engineers ot Ksllroads assembled at fill- laoeliihia, memorialize your Honorable liocllon, to the end that there be no present Increase of the existing tanfl on railroad Iron ami other art cles required tor the construction ot railroads, and oiler tlie lo lowing reasons theieior. ainoriit uauy others that might be proaeuted lor your conHldetatlon : I. Because It is munlietlv the Interest of the Govera rovm tlmt every encouragement should he given to the people ol the country to take stock in rail ro -ids to Ue velou ihe resources ol the country, lustead oi discour aging them in doing o by levvlui a heavy lurlff to ba added to the cost of their railroads. 1 lucau-e it is ma hi estlv impolitic and nniust to place burdens unon the ellorts ol the people to develops tbo retourcts ot the country 3. l ecause it places the (iovemmeat In the Inooaslst en t potion of annually niaklus largo appropriations to Improve rivers ano btruois of donating the public lands, and loaning her public credit to build rnl roads to accommodate commerce and develope the resources ot tlie country t whilst, on the other hand, It levies, by tarlll, enormous burdens on Independent rullrood corn- f antes that ai-k nothing trom the Government further ban the liberality oi her citizens be not taxed lor de veloping the lesoureen of the country. 4. oeouse there is tar more capital Invested In rail roads, and rranv more emp.oes engaged with them, than in the rolling-mills. 6 iiecause every dollar ot additional tarlfl laid apon Iron or other materia s required in bui ding railroads is to require that sum irom the people already too poor to rawe the means to build their roat's without having to resort o mortgages, whereby olten they lose the whole stock lnvcsiea by ihera. 6, Because by dicoura"lng the bnlldlng ot railroads you retard ihe development of the country, and to that extent lessen the ability ol the people to acet the taxes required lor the support ot the Government. 7 Because It burden the agricultural inter St of the country tor the benefit ot an Interest ta ' lo' Important than the agricultural and railroad interest, which are one and the same. 8. Because by Increasing the cost of railroads yon In crease the suiount ol means ti be raised by atockhskler., and lh cost ol transnor a'lon to the fanner lor till he has to sell or buy and lessens the yeury profits ot his larm to this extent. 9. Iiecause. if we ere correctly InToimed the iron Interests o1 t.1 e country at this time are making enor mous dividend-, and could we I otlord to have the tariff leduccd it they would be cottent with elHit or even ten per cent dividend on the capital invested, while a verv large number of railrouda ate now uuabie to pay divi dends. 10. Iiecause the cost of Iron rolls, the most expensive Item In railroad construction and re, airs Is under the present tariff, so euonuous that it niav well he ques tioned whether thorn are not now eximin railroads of ne small pub Ic vi lue which must lie discontinued for want oi sutltcler.t earnings to purchase rails to replace those now lust weiring out II. lieeuuse In addition to the cost of ocean transporta tion, (relKht commissions, etc , we are of opinion that a duty of a rate lower than the present per ton on iron rails wl I altord all the projection that American rolling mills, judiciously located and managed, can reasonably ask, sua yield toe Govern merit a much larger revenue than exl-ting or proposed tales of duty, and that such rate once fixed, will by Its greater prubabili les oi stabil ity, do more for tbe permanent Iron interests ot tbe country than any higher tanfl. In cono nslon liecnuse the Increase of duties pro posed In the presont Congress upon railroad Iron would be unjust and oppressive In the extreme to the railroad Interests ot tbe country and that the Interests ol tbe domestic nianuiacturer as well as the Industrial pur suits oi the whole country, would m t bo promoted by such increase; that the effect would be to deter capital from engaging In the manufacture of Iron, In conse quence of the want of stability and the danger of reac tion to the other extreme, occasioned by an unreasona bly high tariff. A Warning to Housekeepers Leaving the City. Mrs. F. Howell, who resides at No 1620 thesnut si root, about a wee ago left the city for a summer sojourn at Cnpe is'und. As a'l the members of her laiiulv accompanied herjit was necessary to lock up tho house during their absence. During this time however, it has not been untenanted. Some individuals ol bunrlarous proclivities have boen watching the premises, and as soon as they found the way clear thoy comiuoncod the'r operations. When their irregular proceedings wore discovered the house was iound in a terrible confus on. The chandeliors had been detached, the carpets taken up, drawers and closets emptied, and almost every aiticlo ot value prepared for removal. The thieves had sucoieded in nettins; off with some of their plunder, and, from the number ot neatly packed bundles lying around, were evidently intending anotbor descent lor the purpose of removing the re mainder. It is quite probable that they will not strain be seen in tbe neienborhood, now that thoir schemes hare been detected. A gieat many families are iu tbe habit of thus lock ing up their houses for more or lois time during the summer, and then starting off on a pleasure tour. But wo hope they will all take warnintr Irom this ca-e, and make some provision for protecting what they leave behind them. When there is no one in a house lor several day in succession, ic requires bu little inptnuity and perseverance on the part o liousel rtakers to accomplish their sinister objects Knowing that they will not be disturbed by any member of tho family whose propor.y they are despoiling! they can take thoir own time for the work, and thus effectually elude the vigiluuco of the police. A Police Sergeant Assaulted. ' Joseph Beltz, whose latter keeps a lager beer saloon in Tiridesburg, has recently returned from Califor nia. While sojourning in that distant quarter of tbe earth ho untortuuatcly contracted somoot tho loose ways of thinking which are so prevalent there, especially concerning the saoredness of human hlo, and tbe respect that is due tbe officers ot the law in a civilized community. On the "Fourth" he in dulged in this rocklots way of looking at things in general, and as a consequence came to grief; but not before he bad iuflictod severe injuries on tho person ot Sergeunt llolden, ol the police. It appears that the Sergeant was humanely assist ing a man who bad been run over and miuted by a passing vehicle. There were no other otllcers near at ihe t me, and tho Sergeant con meted the injured man alone into tbe saloon ot tho elder fioltz, Biuiply becauso it was the i earet publio place at hand. To this proceeding young Bollz put In a strong remon strance, end when the Serjeant explained the neces sities ol the case, the bo d Californian plckod up a club, with which he smoto tho olllcer upon the lore nea a The blow was a severe one, inflicting a deep cu. direotly over the ei e, aud knocking the ollioer sense less to the floor. Wh- n sergeant tloldon recovered his senses, he found himseli lying under a billiard table. Tbe room was entirely deserted, lint a Bhort time afterwards young Belta was pointed out to a couple of ofliceis by a young man who had witnessed the assault. The cuprtt was at once taken into custody and held iu $1000 ball, to answer lor his valiant conduct A Grand Summer Trip The Tour of tdk Okkat Lakes.

Portland, Me., July C Five car-loads of pro visions came down from Boston last night, and are being ditrtbuted to tha people. A fire company, eighty strong, was working all night on the ruins. Largo amounts ot supplies have come in from various places. Tuey were greatly needed, most of the provision stores being burned out, and nothing being loft to be bought, s- that the reoplo were living on bread alone. The Athenamm Library was totally deroyed. The City Building and Custom House blaze I up again to-day, and occasioned another alarai. The city was in darkness last night, owing to the ua.1 being cut off. It is now raining, but this is scarcely needed, as the flames were so fierce that every'.hlug is burned off. Five hours alter tbe fire, one could walk through the ruins in many places. Tho First National Bank funds and securities are all saved, sure, aud there is 10 doubt in regard to any of tbe others. The brass work establishment of L. Crockett was not burned, as reportel.

Workmen are busily engaged in clearing the ruins, and everybody is at work In getting into temporary residences and places of business. The hhade trees of this city are mostly burned. The newspaper offices are issuing slips, and will probebly go out of town to print for the present. Owing to Ihe noble charily of other towjs and cities, no one is suffering for food. Impoitaut Decision under the Civil Risht Bill. Baltimore, July 6. An important decision hes been rendered by Judge Bowie, Chief Jus tice of the Court of Appeals of Maryland, under the Civil Eights bill. The facts of the case are biiefly as follows: Dr. A. II. Somers, of Rockville, Montgomery county, committed nn assault upon a colored man In the streets of Rockville, beating him very severely. The colored man's wile sued out a warrant bepore a (ustice of the peace against Rollers, on which hewas arrested and arraigned before a magistrate. The counsel of Dr. Somers argued that the warrant was Illegal under the laws of Maryland, contendin ; that no negro or mulatto could be a competent witness against a white person. The Justice decided that the said State law had been abrogated and superseded, and was null and void under the Civil Riirhts bill, and required the accused to give bail to answer at the Circuit Court. Somers refused to comply with this order, and was committed. Thereupon his couucil applied to Chief Justice Bowie for a w rit of habeas corpus, which his Honor refused to grant; giving a written opinion sustaining the decision of tbe magistrate, and maintaining the constitutionality of the Civil Rights bill, so far as relates to the question iu dispute. The Judge, in conclusion, says: J Aware that there are many and serious objec tions to the constitutionality ot the law upon other points, yet it is not clearly unconstitu tional in tho particulars iu question. I am bound by the usage and decision of the highest Courts to assume that Congress has not violated its constitutional obligations. Not being able to perceive clearly and un equivocally a breach of the Federal Constitution in the act of Congress entitled "An act to pro tect all persons in their civil rights," etc., in making negroes competent to testify, withot t expressing an opinion of the other sections of the law, I roust overrule tbe motion to .quash the warrant, and rcmaud the prisoner to the custody of the officer. INTERESTING RELIGIOUS CEREMONY. Laying- of the CornerStoae or the Me morial Chnreta of Washington Irving', at Tarry town, N. Y. Tne Stone Laid by Bishop Potter Address by lr. Ty-sr, Etc. Ete. One of the most interesting religious ceremo nies that has taken place in this country for many years past was solemnized yesterday In the village ot Tarrytown, on the Hudson. It was the laying of the corner-stone of tho Memo rial Church of Wahiugton Irving, whose life it isjwell known was passed in thut town, where the author of the "Legend of Sleepy Hollow" was beloved by all who knew him lor his ines timable social virtues as a neighbor and a citizeD. Tho present Episcopal Church of Tarrytown bears the title ol St. Murk's. Within this pnrisu rests uot only tne grave of Washington Irving, tut also the various localities which the "Legend of Sleepy Hollow" has made loiever famous. Not tar oil' trom the site ot the Memorial Church lies the renowned hollow Itself that wondrous region "which abounds with local tules, haunted spots, and local superstitious." Within a stone's throw is the old Dutch Church, still standing "on a knoll, surrounded by locust trees aud lofty elms, from among w"hich lt decent, whitewashed walls shine mo destly forth, like Christian purity beaming through tbe shades of retirement." Near by, spanning the silvery Pocanteco, is the bridge, in crossing which Icbabod Crane was struck by the "horrible missile" hurled at him by the "headless horseman;" whda at the foot of an ad jacent hill Is the lonely, but pleasant site of the school-l-oufe, fiom "whence, in a diowsy sum mer's day, tbe low murmur of pupils' voices," conning over their lessons, was heard of old, "like the hum of a beehive." Influenced by their contiguity to these points of interest to all the readers of Geoffrey Crayon, as well as by the fact that no fitting testimonial to his memory has, as yet, been erected amid these now familiar scenes, the wardens and vebtry of Sr. Mark's Church have determined to set apart their new edifice, the building ot which they have some time had in contemplation, as his memorial. In pursuance of this plan, they have purchased an elislble lot of land, situated on Broadway, tho principal avenueof the village of Tarrytown, only fifty yards from the spot w here Major Andre was captured, and where tho "strange rider" first appeared lo the vlllape schoolmaster; and are about to put thereon a heautitul structure of stone, to be known as the Memorial Church of Washington Irving. The cost of the buildings and its towers, when completed, will be about $50,000. A portion of this sum has already been subscribed, aud, in order that the project may be speedily and suc cessfully carried iuto execution, the coutrlbu -5 Hons of all ChrlstUus who approve of erecting, amonsr the cenehe loved so well, so appropriate a memorial to Washlnsrton Irving as a sanctuary dedicated forever to the worship of the everlast i i ii2naro "oUcite(J Tte Bum still to be raised The church Is to bo 100 feet in length.

Answer Who hath niuUe heaven aud earth Bishop Except the Lord build the house, their labor is lost that build It. The stone was then struck three tiraos with a hammer by Bishop Potter, who said: "I lay the corncr-stono of this edifice, and to be de voted to the service of Almighty God, agreeably to tbe principles of the Protestant EpiscopaL Chinch iu the United Stales of America, in its doctrines, ministry, lituipy, rites and usages." The box having been placed in tho vault In whioh the stone was to be placed, the 6tone waa laid in the opening. Another prayer was then offered by the Bishop, alter which Rev. Dr. Tyng, of St. Ocorgc's Church, of this city, de livcied an address. DH, TYMO'S REMARKS. He said the laying or a cornor-etone was, after all. but a typical cerbUioDy. It is an illustration, type aud tifjure th type of our union in oue holy faith ono sacred prolesou, and one solemn testimony of tho prool ol a liviu Uod. Xhe spire will point to thi'Sky, ami bo a proof ot a condition beyond the (crave, which will last longer than all timo. This church will always stand a stable witnos of uualter able truth. Whether it be vocal with the worship of IU people, nr silent in its reposo, it will always uVost 01 lalth in FMhfcr' Son' and Uo'y There was something peculiar in the circumstances of tho occasion. It was a fact in the history and purpope ol this construction to stand in honor of ono ot tho most gentle of our iollow-mon one whose ro muius were sleeping within tio limits of tho town of Tarrytown. Ue had youe down to his grave with honor. Pilgrims already mako pilgrimaicos to the sunny ppot which be selected lor bis home His namo woulri always hvo, and his fame would spread over thowholo realm ot civilization. Tbeoonier stone was laid as a memorial in honor of that gentle genial, good, and attractive man, ' At tho conclusion ot Dr. Tyng's romark, the "Gloria in Excolsis" was then p ayed by tbe bund aud alter another prayer the .lollowlug hymn was sung: And wilt thou, O Eternal God. On earth entahilih thine abode? Then loos propitious from thy throne. And take Uils touiplo lor thine own. These walls we to thine honor raise, Long maj' they echo In thy prulse; Ami thou, dmoendlng. till the place With the rich tokens or thy sruuo. Here mar the great Redeemer reign, Wlth'all the graces ot Ills train; Y hie power divlno hlo word attends. To conquer foes aud cheer his frieudg. And In the last declnlvn day, Wnen Uod the nation shall survey, May It belore the world appear. Thousands were bora tor glory hero. Bishop Potter then pronounced the benodietion, and this concluded tbo coreinony. A very handsome and satisfactory collation was served by the rector of tho parish, at the r-etory, where tbe invitod guests and cleigy men were most courteoutly entertained. In tbe evening an oration cn the "Lite and 'limes ot Washington Irving" was delivered in the South Dutch Church of the village, byliev William U MilOurn, the blind orator.
