THL DAILY EViyXIflQ TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 5, 1871. lYlllTEHOfSE CHESET. Some Inlf rrt ing Kttrnet from tlie Cor rrtpoiidrnre llctween HUliop 'White lioiiKeniKl the Wartlcn.of ChrlstChtirch, Chicago. Rev. Charles Edward Cheney, rector of Christ Church, Chicago, is to be brought to trial for contumacy In disregarding the sentence of the ecclesiastical courts as pronounced by the bishop, by which he was tried and convicted for non-conformity. A portion of the correspond ence is published. It embraces a letter ad dressed to the wardens of ChrlBt Church, and the reply of the wardens thereto. Bishop Whitehouse, in his letter communicating olli cially the sentence of the court, says: "At every stop, from tin- Initiatory petition Binned, bj Individuals for official permission to organize through jour organization, incorporation, admission to tlie convention, the ti le to property, the reception of benefactions, the Imparting of vested rights, and your enfolding tn the general Church, you have pledged conformity to the doc trines, discipline, worship, rites, ami con-monies of the Protestant Kpts-pal Church In the I nlted States, to the constitution and canons of the general convention and of the diocese of Illinois. All your corporate life Is Indissjlubly bound up by a solemn pledge, In honor, In love, as well as In law and equity, with this franchise of membership. You cannot dissolve it, and I have confidence that you will not impeach It by any rash counsels, or degrade It by any passionate though futile secession." The reply of the wardens la quite lengthy. They say: "We acknowledge the solemnity of the authority attached to the Episcopal oillce, and just in propor tion to Its exalted character we have looked to see it administered, not to destruction, but to salvation ; not to hurt, but to help. Our beloved rector, after Eleven years of labor among us, during which Pro vidence has seen fit to prosper his work exceed ingly, and to endear him very much to his people, has incurred tlis displeasure of his ecclesiastical superiors, and an alleged sentence, claimed to have been arrived at and Inflicted In the administration of discipline, has been passed upon him. If he had been guilty of oifense or misconduct requiring and justifying such a sentence; if that guilt had been ascertained, the conclusion reached and the sentence announced in accordance with the laws of the church in which he Is an otllcer, and in accord ance with those essential principles tf justice with out which there can be no just judgment, then it would be clearly his duty to submit and ours to counsel such submission. Is such the case In this Instance ? Accnsed upon no information by his ves try, by his brother presbyters, or upon preliminary Investigation, our pastor, engrossed In the work of his sacred calling and entirely unconscious of the Impending blow, found himself subjected to a prose cution upon the serious charge of violation of his solemn engagement of conformity, and of his ordination vow, and that he had been guilty of such violation In that he had omitted, in the ad ministration of the oftlce of the public baptism of infants, the positive aillrmation therein contained that the child Is regenerated by the baptismal aet itself. The doctrine of the Protestant Kplseopal Uhurch does not hold that the Holy Npint is neces sarily present In the administration of the rite of bap tibm. To declare In positive language that which was not the doctrine vt the church was a burthen to our pastor almost too grievous to be borne." The letter conclude as follows : "Entertaining these views, we cannot hesitate as to our duty In the premises. It is with Indescribable grief that we Had ourselves obliged, even in appearance, to assume an attitude of diilerence with the ecclesiastical autho rity of the diocese; but, however paiutul the dudes Imposed upon us, we must discharge them under the guidance of our own consciences. The character of these proceedings, the manner In which they have been carried on, the conclusion In which they have culminated, and the utter Impracticability of sub mission without moral degradation, leave no alternative?" A SEASATION SPOILED. Forrester Arretted In Memphis ly Proxy An Eitraordluary lt.eiicibln.iice. The Memphis Avalanclie of the 1st inst. has the following: Considerable excitement was occasioned in police circles yesterday morning by a rumor to the effect that Johnny Forrester, the alleged Nathan murderer, had been captured by Deputy Sheriff Murphy, while leaving the city on the 4 A. M. train on the Louisville road. He was conveyed bvMr. Murphy to the jail and detained there until 2 o'clock in the afternoon, when he was brought before Squire P. M. Winters for identification, and if the right man, for trial. When arrested he gave his name as J. V. Cum rnings, alias Dave Cummings, and stated that he was on his way to Louisville. Upon being brought before Squire Winters he Was confronted with a number of detectives and other persons who knew both Forrester and Cummings, and they instantly said that he was the person he claimed to be, and was not Forres ter, as suspected. He is known ta the authori ties as a professional thief. Cummings almost exactly answers the description of Forrester, teinror ine iCt Aye feels' Inches, dark hair, high cheek bones, thin face, a pro truding upper jaw, same age, thirty-five, and in fact he is almost the exact counterpart of the noted New York "cracksman" whom so many persons want to see. ... Mr. Murphy had seen Cummings the night be fore near the depot, and suspecting from his movements that he was intending to leave the city, was at the depot on the watch for him yesterday morning. lie did not get on the train at the depot, but jumped on the Second street crossing as the train was passing, and this, to gether with other suspicious actions on his part, and his great personal resemblance to Forrester, caused the officer to arrest him. The identical Forrester was here a few weeks ago, before it was known that he was wanted, ana was stopl ped by one of our detectives, to whom he said that he was passing through the city, and was not intending to do any "work." Not knowing that he was wanted for anything particularly, the officer allowed him to go on his way. REPORTERS' RIGHTS. A Policeman who Assails a. Reporter Dis missed from the Forte ami Sent to Prison. For some time past reporters, although wearing fire badges, have often been subjected to con siderable annoyance in attempting to pass through the fire lines, owing either to the ig norance or imperiousness of the officers, whose business it is to know the "general orders" Issued to the department and obey them. The case of Patrolman John Shea, of the Fourteenth precinct, who assaulted William F. Quinlan, reporter of the Herald, at the fire in Mott street on Saturday night last, was brought np at the Court of Special Sessions to-day. Two other witnesses for the defense were called np, whose testimony was very conflicting. One of those witnesses stated that Quinlan strnck the officer, while the other swore that Mr. Taylor.of the Star, strnck the officer. Otllcer Shea, who swore on Thursday that Quinlan wore a small cilver badge, said to-day that he might be mis taken in the kind of a badge. Judge Dowling eaid, "Reporters bad rights and privileges ac cording to the General Orders, which should be recognized by the police. In this case it had been shown by the testimony that unnecessary force had been used by the officer in pushing the reporter, so that he tell into an area-way. and was seriously injured." The Court found the officer guilty, and sentence him to ten days in the City Prison. Officer Shea wu dismissed from the department by the Police Board this morning. JV. Y.
