For Additional Local Item tee Tldri rage.) The Eighth Sthkex LuTiii(.nA. Burial Ground-More About thb Difkiculty Skcond Mkktino op tiik Opposition. Since, our bit-t articlo relating to the cuiHrovcrsy tnen existinu between the two ptittios of the (lerman Lu theran Church, aristjR from dtllereiicns ol opinions and view in relation 1 1 the. disposal ol the Kitrhth street cemetery, runny more faet-i and circuiiistaiicoi have been brought to light hs to the movement of both. We then stated some ot tho reasons which in duced the Church Council to apply to the courts and the Lcfri.-dature lor the privilcne of sale, and which were mainly the de-ire, on their part, to raie funds tor the exicuton of their sect over a more comnrclieusivc territorythus eiviuir it a ftronncr foundation and u lanrcr Held of ope rations. ?iiico thn we have ascertained that there i. a stautiiuir incumbrance of about $511,00.) on I lie c hurch properly, it- redemption heint another reason ollered lor the sale ol the burial ground. To oilxet, all theco aratinients of tiie Church Council, the patties iu opposition brltitr many and strong reasons to bcir upon the non disposal ot thu t?rouud and .the di-intennciit or the remains ot their Irienls and relatives. In relation to the matter of lunds with which to redeem the standing church debt, it is stated that the ti unices receive a yearly income of over $10,00(1 from real etlate, ami also a larue amount from pew rents, not counted. Tins amount, it is stated, if put to.cconomical use, would redeem the church debt within ten years, thus making uiiuece-sary the .sale ot any pro perty for such purpose. The theory upon which tho action of the Church Couucil 13 based is, that by a clause in tho charter, when two-thirds ot the conresa tton lurieo to the disposal of a certain piece ol' property, it has the power so to do. Second. That the common law of Knj;land controls all laws where the English lantrua-i'i prevails ih a national lanrruase. And third. That the Eng lish courts have decided fiat all mailers ap pertaining to burial grounds, an 1 church pro perty generally, shall be referred to an eccle siastical court, which invariably suitaius the desire ol a majority of the congregation as the desiie of the church itself. But this latter theory has been overruled by the higher ciurl of New York State, which allit mcd that blood relatives have an tiudcniabl o right to the relies and inaves where are laid the bodies of de ceased members of the family. The title of that plot of Ground is eternal with the heirs, and cannot be revoked. This has been the de cision of the Superior Court of Nev York, and the principle holds good iu the courts of all the States. The Church Council do not desire the sellimr of i lie whole property, but only about one hun dred and twenty-five leer, or one section (a quarter of the whole) lrom the south end. But the selling of a section is met by the same oppo sition ot the other party as the selling of the complete ground. If the opposing party concede the right to sell a part, they concede the r'mht of the disposal of the whole. The party in minority, being the party in opposition, have taken vigorous measures against the movement. Examinations have been had before the proper appointed ollicer, in wuich evidence bas been adduced bearing strongly upon tue reasons as to why the measure is resisted. It has been aseertaine 1 that a portion of the church burial records have been lost, contain ing the descriptions of the exac: places, an 1 where to be found, of those buried in trie Lutheran Cemetery. Parties, therefore, who other ie would coincide with the proposed removal, cannot now do so lrom inability to ocsiL'tiate the bodies, and where laid, of tlu-tr lclfttive. We stated in our last article on this subject, that if the remov.i fchould take place the bodies would be rightly interred iu a ground opposite Laurel Hill Cemetery. It has been given in evidence, aud is the gi.-t of one of the principal reasons ot opposition, that the bodies, on account ol the extreme emallue?s of the ground proposed to be used, cannot be decently 'interred, but will have to be placed in trenches. In this same examination certificates were produced by persons who had paid in sums varving trotu twenty to thirty-live dollars for the privilege ot interment, thus becoming vir'ually the owners ot the land used as graves. Others had written agreements to raise monuments over the last resting-places of their deceased relatives. This ground is sacredly held iu memory hi those living whose parents, brothers, sisters, and friends have lont rested beneath its turf. The case for the opposition has been placed in the bands of eminent counsel. An adjourned meeting was held by those who opposed the measure, in the City Assembly Rooms. The attendance was fair, a large num ber of ladies being present. ."Notice was given that an examination was to beheld this (Thursday) aiternoon at II o'clock, by the same examiner, at the Wetherill House, Sausom street, above Sixth. An addition of live ladies and gentlemen each was made to the Finance Committee?. A motion that an advertisement should b3 inserted iu three prin cipal daily journals, giving the place ot busi ness of the Treasurer, Henry Grambo, JJo. 4:12 Cbcsuut street, with Mos &.

The grand leature of the Christmas festivities is the Christmas-table, and to supply tbis properly with the requisite delicacies is a task ot no little dilliculty. By dropping in at the old-established grocery store of W. L. Maddock & Co., at Xol 116 S. Third street, below Ci.esnut, the purchaser, however, will tind a great relief from the ditticulries whicu may attend his peculiar situation. If he does not know precisely what he wants, his lack of knowledge will soon be supplied. And it he does know wuat he wants, behold the assortment from which he Is enabled to makp his selections! In the way of fruits, he will tind rutins, currant, lijrs, citrons, dates, English and American picklea, and Rnglish, Indian, aud American sauces; aud he will discover tin assoitmcnt of French and S.iauish sar dines, jellies, preserves, paper-shelled almonds, aud every variety of preserved vegetables. The canned iruits aud vegetaoies, in parti cular, have been ''done up" in the most ad nmable style. Tbe fresh peaches are espe cially noticeable tor the rlchue.-s of their flavor, while quinces, pea, corn, Lima beans, and succotash that delectuble compound of the two ure not a whit behind them. And then, in the way of choe&es, just read the list : Stilton. Cheddar, Edam, eutchatel, Young America, Jenny Lind, satjo, pine-apple, aud we tire of the enumeration. As an otl'set to these we find French and Spanish olives, mustards, capers, potits-pois, champignons, trufos, pates-de'foles gras. besides all these there is a tempting display oi potted meats, including ham, beet, tongue Stiasbourc anchovy, partridge, liver, shrimp, Yarmouth herring, and bloaters.

Mr. W.lson (Mass.) offered a jont resolution directing tha President of tho United fsta es to instruct the ofliocrs of the Army aud Navy and ot the Freed man s liureou to prevent and prohibit thu infliction of corporeal punishment for crimes and misdemeanors in the lute rebellious States until tuoir civil povcrnmonts stiull have been recoruized and ratified by Connress. Ordered to be printed. Mr. Catteli (N. J.) presented the petition of tha carpet manufacturers tor re iof lrom the five per cent, internal revenue tax. Referred to Finance Committee. Mr. Anthony B I ), from tho Printing Commit tee, leportod a resolu ion to print tho annual rejiort oi tho Libm rian ot Con cress Adopted. Mr. Koss (Kansa) called up the resolutions on reconstruction, offered by him yesterday and pili.ted In yesterday's report, and doltvered a si eecb in advocacy of the right ol Congress to esta blish frovcrnment in the Rebellious States. Mr. llendereon oflbrred a re olution, based on a dispatch from Governor Fletcher, of Missouri, calling upon the President for information as to nhetnerho bad, since the 1st of December, sent troop into tbe interior of Missouri tor any purpose, and it so, to indicate his reasons, oio. Tho resolu tion a adtpted. The bill to admit Nebraska was taken up. House of Representatives. Mr. fcpaulding (Ohio) arose to a personal privi lege in connection with an article in yesterday's Chronicle reflecting upon a resolution otlorcd oy him on the Sib instant, and raforred to the Com mittee on .Reconstruction J nut resolu ion simply directed tiie Committee to inquire into the propriety of propo.-iufr a joint resolution declaratory of tbo pun ose of Congress in the reception of Senators and Representatives trom rebellious States respec tively, on the ratification by them of tho Constitu tional amendment aud the establishment of a repub lican loiin ol government. He declared ins adhorenoe to the Constitutional amendment iu a I its parts, and advised its adoption as a measure ot conciliation and security, iu his judumeit, if the amendment was ratitiod by throi lourths ot tbe states represented in Cougross, it could become apart ot the Constitution, lie Old not believe that t'je approval or disapproval of tbo amendment by the outstau .fnr communities, or any oi them, would afreet the ratification of the amend ment in the slightest degree. It might become necessary ore lonn to p'aco tlios i revolted States in the condition ot territories. If that became npmirent, he should not flinch 1 1 otn t he voik, though be wou'd tain save tbe country from so great a staiu upon iU institutions or Govern ment. Mr. Stevens (Pa at a subsequent stage of the proceedings, said be had intended, perhaps irregu larly, to sav a word In reference to the position of Mr. Spaulding. He would only say now that he thought ihe argument of ihe editor altogether ttie better ol tbe two, aud peifoctly conclusive. Whiie e would not cnarire (ueigentteman ( Jir. Spauidini with bo ug the author ol the resolution, he thoutrht the doctrine implied In it was the most uernicioui that could possibly be brought to oosuuet he final free reconstruction of the Government, but ho would not go iuto the argument now, as the milt nun (Mr. Spauldlng) was not in his seat, lio 1 1 a 1 only tboupht it prop-r to say so much in fevor il i he argument of one who could not appear ne re uuiii-eit, and which be deemed conclusive, ami en-"it-lv more satislaotory than that ot tne geuiiomuu from Ohio.
