Tub Railroad Convention Remos-
OTKAhCK AOAIAST A iilOH T ARIFF ON ltAlLROAD
Ikon. 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

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. The tremendous
exertions to save Umiloror A Dolen's planing
mill were unsuccessful, which razd Commer
cial street and the lower side of Fore street.
The National Traders' Bank papers an!
money are all safe, also the papers of the Ocean
Insurance Company. 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

the Bishop said: 4 '

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. Gra
irilla's Band was picnoiit, and portoinied, among;
other selections, a "March" from Tannliauser, ' Old
Hundred," "Gloria in Excolsis," "ligli Dolamore,"
and "Overture trom William Tell." ihe oration
was full of eloquence and anecdote, and was a
worthy tribute to the memory of the great frying
N. Y. Times.
