Another ' Improvement" Is the arrangement of the
proscenium boxes. The architect deserves to be handed
down to fame as the first to apply the style of the pri
vate room or eating saloon to aa opera boiise. They are
strangely suggestive of resor.s ca.led "tree and easy."

Mad'lli Vstvam played "Gamea" to a brilliant

Her gera ballads were encored, and her acting was ao

Church Anwivebsabt. This evening an
interesting time may be expected in ht. John's
Protestant Episcopal Church, ISrown street,
below Third. It is the flltietb anniversary of
its consecration, and the congregation is look
ing forward to a very plasant meeting with those
who formerly worshipped there all of whom
are invited. There will be a number of ad
dresses delivered by clergymen who know well
how to interest an audience, and what will add
to the interest is the tact that nearly all of the
speakers were connected with the church before
entering the ministry. On the list of speakers
we have teen the names of the Rev. Dr. Newton,
Kev. Dr. Seeds, Rev. Dr. Clemson, and Rev. Dr.
Morton; also the Rev. Messrs. Crown, Bonnell,
Burk, and Graham. We are always glad to
chronicle such matters as these, and to those
now connected with this time-honored church
we wish the full gratification of their desires, a
full house, an interesting and pro lit utile time,
and complete success in this as well as every
other undertaking.
A Large Haul. The police made a large
haul of river thieves yesterday morning. It
seems that for some time past the produce men
have been losing large quantities of fruit and
vegetables. Finding their losses becoming
serious, they called the attention of the police to
the tacts ot the cape. A squad of men were sent
down to Spruce street wharf yebterday morning,
and a number of men, who were ostensibly fisher
men, were arrested with about sixteen baskets
of sweet potatoes in their possession, to which
they could not give a clear title. They gave the
names of Thomas Manning, John Sullivan,
Thomas Graham, David Walsh, John Geisse.
David McC'ormick, Washington Weter, Wilbam
Gallop, John Dorsey, Anton Geisse. and James
Beekit. They had a hearing before Recorder
Eneu, who held them each in $G00 bail to
answer. I
An Awful Cbkatube. Michael Hassan
is the name 01 one of those chivalrous knighi.8 ot
the present time who display their prowess by
attacking defenseless men and women. Last
night, at Twentj-thiid and Naudain streets, he
cauPht hold of a decrepid soldier, and was about
to thrust him away with violence, when Mr.
Milley and Lis wife and daughter interfered in
the soldier's behHlf, begging Hassan not to hurt
him. Instead of being moved by pity to leave
the soldier alone, he threatened to shoot Mr.
Milley, his wife, and his daughter Mary. They
called for help, aud the fellow then left, und
was soon afterwards arrested. lie had with
him a loaded revolver when he was arrested.
He was held in $500 by Alderman Swift to an
swer the charge of carrying concealed deadly
weapons, and lor threatening to kill.
Keeping a Dxsohdebly House. There
is a row of frame dwellings on the corner of
Thirty-sixth and Market streets, known as the
"Blue Row." Whether it is from the color of
the old time-battered frames, or from the sul
phureous character of the inmates of one or t wo
of the places, we do not know. At any rate,
one of these places, occupied by a tellow named
G. W. Leas, was pounced upon by the police last
night. Leas and one or two others were arrested.
There was considerable disturbance going
on at the time of the arrest. This morning
Alderman Allen held G. W. Leas in the sum of
$G00 to auswer the charge of keeping a disor
derly house.
Fovnd Drowned Verdict 'Suicide."
Last evening, the body of a woman named
Sarah Wanstanley, aged thirty-five years, was
found in the basin at Corinthian and Poplar
streets. She tormerly resided ln Bucknald street,
near Brown. She was discovered and taken out
by a squad of the Nlntn District police, who re
moved her to the Station House. An inquest
was held on the body, aud the jury rendered a
verdict to the effect that she had come to her
death by voluntarily drowning Lerseir.
A Reckless Jehu. Samuel Leech was
arrested yesterday atternoon for fast driving.
He drove through the streets in a most reckless
manner, and as he passed the corner of Fourth

MR. SCOVEL ALL RICHT"
Curious Action of the Democrats.
THEY REFUSE TO VOTE.
Singular Protest of the Minority
8PEOIAL BB8PAT0H TO TH1 BTEHIKO TKLBOBAPH
Tkbnton, September 18. A caucus of Repub
lican mcmbors of the two Houses was held this
morning, at which no business of importance
was transacted, except the appointment ot
Messrs. Scovel and Curtis, of Camden, to oiTer a
resolution in each House to proceed to the elec
tion of United States Senator.
The Assembly met at 10 A. M., when Mr. G
W, N. Curtis, of Camdeu, offered a resolution
that the House proceed to ballot for United
States Senator In the manner prescribed by the
recent act of Congress. Mr. E. M. White
(Democrat), of Morris, then oflered a lentrthy
protest, signed by every Democratic member,
against the proposed action.
It opposed the attempt to elect a Senator at
the present extra session, on the grounds that
no vacancy existed, and that the present act of
Congress, under which it is proposed to elect,
is unconstitutional.
The protest then reviews the events attend'
big the'election of Senators in New Jersey since
the oiganization of the Government, and dwells
paiticularly on the election of Mr. Stockton,
condemning, in severe terms, the action of the
United States Senate in depriving Mr. Stockton
of a vote in the Senate while still being per

The unconstitutionality of the act of Congress
is then argued at length. The argument that
Mr. Stockton received only a minority ot toe
votes of all the members ot tne two nouses ot
the Legislature Is met by counter-argument,
that the new law of Congress renders it possible
for twentj -one meinbets of the Leglslature.coni
posed of eiehty-cne members, to elect a Senator.
The unconstitutionality of the act ot Congress
is further insisted on, because a bare maorlty
of all the members of the Legislature may elect
a Senator at a joint meeting at which no mem
ber of the upper House may be present.
It further insists that the power of Congress
to regulate the election of Senators Ik limited to
prescribing the mere form of election, without
power to enforce a Joint meeting of the two
Houses, and concludes as follows:
For these and other reasons we deny the rUrht
of the present Legislature to choose a Senator
at an, ana nereoy enier our solemn protest
against all proceedings intended to attain that
end, as unconstitutional, invalid, and Insultinir to
the dignity a'ld character of our State and the
independence ot our Legislature.
On motion, tne protest was oruerea to De en
tered on the minutes.
The Assembly then proceeded to ballot for a
United States Senator. Hon. Alexander G.
Cnttell, ot Camden, receiving thirty-throe votes.
In accordance with the protest, the Demo
cratic members did not vote.
The result was announced by the Chair, amid
the applause of the spectators. The Assembly
adjourned to meet to-morrow morning.
The Senate assembled at 11 A. M., when Mr.
J. M. Scovel, of Camden, offered resolutions to
proceed to the election of United States Senator,
Mr. Henry Little, Democratic Senator of Mon-
mouth, then read the protebt signed by all the
Democratic members, except Mr. Kennedy, of
Monmouth. It is similar to the one read ln
the Assembly, which was ordered to be entered
on the journal.
The resolution of Mr. Scovel was then adonted
by a strict party vote, and the Senate proceeded
to ballot, lion. Aiexanuer u. uaueii, ot t ain
den, receiving eleven votes, no Democratic
members voting.
When Mr. Scovel's name was called, the ex
pectation was on tip-toe. As he pronounced the
name of Mr. Cattell, there was a hearty round
of applause.
Alter aaoiaintr tne concurrent resolution to
meet the Assembly at noon to-morrow in joint
convention, the Senate adjourned.

Ills Excellency Andrew Johnson, President C

the United States Mint, which I hold under tho
appointment and commission of our late and
ever to be lamented President, Abraham Lin.,
coin.
I cannot approve your "Policy," as defined bf
yoursolf in your lato public speeches, and prac
tically illustrated ln deeds of violence and
blood by Its advocates and defenders in Mem
phis, New Orleans, and elsewhere. I cordially
and unhesitatingly approve of the Constitutional
amendments proposed by Congress.
They embody the true policy of reconstruc
tion are just and more magnanimous that
treason had any right to expert or in justice ti
demand. Their adoption, in my opinion,
would at once restore harmony and reace to
every section of our country. I denre the ear
liest possible reconstruction of the Union, upon
the basis of truth, honor, justice, liberty, anX
equality.
This will be done, and I will labor earnestly
for its accomplishment; but in the name of the
patriot dead of the late war, and the living anil
loyal millions who then stood and still standby
the nation's flag, I protest against giving to the
late rebellious States a premium for treason and
rebellion by increasing their political power,
or granting to unrepenting Rebels the right t
make laws for their antagonists; to govern the
true friends of the Union, whilst ln their hate
of freedom they disregard the rights of eman
cipated millions, and deny to tho loyal citizens
of the United States the ordinary privileges of
American citizenship.
I cannot sacrifice my manhood for office, nor
will I approve, under any circumstances, that
which every sentiment and feeling of my heart
condemn. I regret the necessity that compel
me to address you thus. I oould say more; I
can say no less. Longer silence would be dis
honor. I will delay sending this until your return t
Washington.
Very respectfully yours,
Jambs Pollock.

Br the 2d section of the act ot Assembly approved
the Ifith ol April, A. 1). 1868. it is provided, 'That
from and after the passage of this act it "hall not
be lawiol tor any alderman of said eity to receive
the payment ot personal taxes unless specially
deputed bv the Beceiver ot laxes oi said city ; aud
no receipt for the payment of taxes heretofore
aiveu by any alderman shall be taken aa evidence of
the payment of any suoti tsx by tbe election oft
oars ot any election district of said city,"
After providing that the Receiver oi Taxes ha(
appoint at least one peison In each of the wards of
the city to receive poll-taxes lor citizens assessed,
that aot further deo lares that "said deputies sbaA
be required to collect both city and State taxes from
the citizens assetsed, either on the regular or extra,
asFoearoentB, unless he shall make an oath or affirma
tion that bo is unable to pay both, and not then
unless he shall have paid at least one ol said taxes
tfirAm fourteen months next previously."
Under this aot of Assembly the lollowinir qoestioat
has been propounded, and will now be answered :
" Are tbe provisions ot the late aot of Assembly an
nulling the Jepal effect ot tax receipts of aldermest
for taxes beivtofore paid, and requiring ths pay
ment of both State and county tax, in confliot wito.
the Constitution of the Statef"
The Constitution ot this Commonwealth ( Art. 8,
sec. 1) provides that "every white freeman,' of the
requisite age and residence, who shall have "within
two years paid a State or eounty tax, which ebait
have been assessed at loast ten days before the elec
tion, shall enjoy the rights of an elcocor."
Itispeilectly oloar that no act of Assembly can
alter the fundamental law of the State. Any whiter
freeman, theielore, who is otherwise qualified to
vote, has the right so to do, provided he bas paid,
either a State or county Ui within two years, and
any provision in this act oonflioting with this right
is clearly unconstitutional, and is absolutely void.
Tbe Constitution having declared that the citizeai
shall pay within two years a State or county tax
in ordor that be may be qualified to vote, no
act of Assembly can be constitutional which
deprives the citizen of tbe right to par either
a State or county tax. And It is the duty
of the Keoeiver ot Taxes and his donutit
to receive and receipt lor either a State ot
county tax, notwithstanding any provision con
tained in the aot of Assembly oi the 17th of April,
1866, and any of the provisions ol said act whloh.
interlore with the constitutional right of tne citizen
to pay the State or county tax, duly assessed for
the present year, are absolutely nnll and void.
Tbe Legislature have, however, declared that tar
receipts heretofore given by Aldermen shall not toe
taken as evidence ot the payment of the tax. To this
extent, the effect ot this enactment is to repeal a
clause ot section 66 ot the act of July 2, 1839, whicb
declared that a tax receipt ibou!d be evidence of the
payment of the tax in question.
But it does not repeal any other part of that sec
tion, and a citizen otherwise qualified to vote, may
do so, it bis right is challenged upon proof (see Mo
tion 66 of act of July 1 1830 ), eitlier on Ms own oath
or affirmation, or the ath or affirmation of another,
or by the production of a receipt for taxes paid at
any time to tbe Itecelver of Taxes, or his deputies,
appointed tinder and by virtue of the aot approved
April 17 1866. that he has paid either a otate or
counts' tax ouly assessed wl hin two years.
It is not for the Court to determine the propriety
of tbe provision in question, but only Its constitu
tionality. If it destroyed the right to prove tne pay
ment we should have no doubt of its unoousbtu
tionaluy. 1 his act does not do so, but simply regu
lates the method of proof.

To the second question propounded, to wit,
"Shall tbe city officers be printed with the county
ticket?" we answer, no; for although the city offi
cers are named in the act approved March IS, 18ttf,
they are clearly within its spirit. This ticket chouid
therelore be separately printed or written, should,
be labelled "City," and be dvpoeiteu in a separate
ballot-box.
To the thlrd question propounded, to wit " Kust
the word oUicers be printed on ithe outside?" we
acswer, "ho." "One ticket shall embraoe tbe
Damn of ail judges ot oourts voted for," and toe
labelled outride, "Judiciary." One ticket shall
embraoe the names of all Stat officers voted,
for, and be labelled ' State." One Uokot shall
embraoe tbe names of all ooanty offioers voted,
lor, iuoluding the names oi Senators, member and
members of Assembly, if voted tor, aud members of
Congress, it voted for, and be labelled "County;
and one ticket shall embrace the names of all city
