DITY BIIJWLETIN.
REFORMATION CELEURATION.—Yesterday the
three hundred and fifty-first anniversary of the
great religious Reformation started in Germany
under Martin Luther, was appropriately ob
served in the Lutheran churches of this city. At
St. Mark's, Spring Garden street, the services
were solemn and impressive. In the morning
a sermon was preached by the pastor, Rev. Dr.
Kunkelman,and the evening a sermon by the Rev.
Dr. Schaeffer, of Germantown. Both Dr. Hat
ter's church, on New street, between Third and
Filurth,and Dr. Seiss's church,on Race street,east
ofSlixtb, held special services. The heavy storm
prevented many persons from attending, yet
there was a large audience in the houses of wor
ship.
At Zion's Church, corner of Fourth and Cherry
streets, yesterday, was an occasion of unusual
interest to the German Lutheran Congregation
of this city., For 77 years.the congregation had
worshipped there, and this being the last day In
which services would be held in the old building,
a large number of persons assembled. It is said
that UP to 1743, a small German Lutheran cqn
gregat3on, at that time the only Lutheran flock
in the city, held their public services In a
carpenter shop, situated in Arch street.
In that year, Rev. H. M. Muldenberg arrived in
this city, and in that year the corner-stone of St.
Michael's Lutheran Church, Fifth street, below
Cherry, was laid, and five years after the building
was consecrated to its sacred purposes. Daring
the services of Rev. Mr. Muhlenburg the congre
gation grew in numbers, and in consequence
more extensive accommodations were required,
and in 1766, the corner-atone of Zion Church was
laid, and the building was finished November
22d, 1769. The church was taken possession of
by the Fnplish army in 1777 and used as an hospi
taL It was also used for the same purpose by the
American soldiers in 1779. In 1794, on the 27th
of December, all of the upper portion of the
building was destroyed by fire, and nothing left
but the bare walls. Measures were at once ta
ken to rebuild, and in 1796 the work was accom
plished. The old Zion Church will seat about
3,000 people. The altar services were conducted
by Rev. E. Ruche, pastor of St. Paul's Church.
The sermon was delivered by Rev. W. J. Mann,
who has for the past eighteen years preached in
the pulpit. On the altar was placed a plan for
the new church, Co be built on the old Lutheran
burying ground, in Franklin street, below Vine.
THE SUPREME COURT. NATURALIZATIONB.—DiEr
trict Attorney Mann has written the following
letter:—l have been asked to give an opinion as to
the duties of election officers in regard to the cer
tillcatt s of naturalization issued or purporting to
be issued by J. R. Snowden, Prothonotary, with
the seal, or what purports to be the seal of the
Supreme Court attached thereto, and I unhesita
tingly say th6..t it is the duty of the officers to re
ject all votes tendered by persons who offer to
prove their citizenship by such papers, which
purport to have been issued
in September and October of this year. It is no
torious that the Judge in almost all of these cases
never saw the applicant or the voucher; and the

NEGLECT as PAbbENGER RAILWAY COMPANIES.
—The presentment of the Grand Jury, submitted
to the Court on Saturday, Bays:
The Grand Jury find it 'in imperative duty to
bring to the knowledge of the Court the gross
eghgenet on the part of the city railway corpo
rations in permitting the paving in the street
over the line of the road. in many places cut into
ruts on each side of the ralls.thus rendering it al
most impossible to drive a carriage on the track.
In many instances the roadway between the rails
is in such condition as to render it dangerous to
drive upon. We trust the Court will, as early as
possible,take such measures as may be necessary
to cause thi,Chief Commissioner of Highways to
exercise hie authority in the premises.

Two letters were found on his person, one of

ELECTION FEAUDS.-=The Grand Jdry rresent
ment made on Saturday says: The Grand Jury
have had before'them evidence of deliberate or
ganization in open day in this and neighboring
cities of bands of men having no right to vote
at our elections, for this purpose coming to oar
city and repeatedly voting under assumed names,
and also preventing by violence and intimidation
legal voters from exercising their rights. The ,
frauds have been carried to such an extent as
seems to thejury to earnestly demand of all good
citizens and officers of all parties to detect and
punish to the extent of the law all such criminals.
NEW JERSEY MATTERS.
Tun Brawl-rm.—To-morrow will bo a day
fraught with important consequences to the citi
zens of Camden, as well as throughout the entire
State. The interests involved are great, and no
Republican who can in anywise walk, or be con
veyed to the polls, should be left at borne. A
United States Senator is to be elected by the Le
gislature the coming session, and it is important
that a majority of that body should be Repub
licans. Henry L. Bones% William C. Shinn
and Thomas H. Coles are the nominees
of the Legislative Districts of Camden county,
all sound and substantial men. It is imperative
that they should be elected, and for this reason
every Republican voter should go the polls.
Every vote cast for these gentlemen contributes
towards the preservation of the Union and Con
stitution of our country, good order
and peace. Neglecting to vote under
such circumstances would be criminal. Ve
hicles should therefore be provided
to convoy to the polls all who are too aged and
enfeebled to walk thither, and every effort should
be made to search them out. The importance of
the election demands that to-morrow should be
devoted to the cause of right by every true friend
of constitutional liberty,of the Union and its per
petuity. A long pull, a strong pull, and a pull
all together, and the day will be won.
Fix/maim AFFAIBB.—Daring the year just
closed the expenditures of the city of Camden
were as follows: Salaries, $1,406 97; gas and
lighting, $315 38; fire apparatus, $1,925 90; re
lief of poor, $993 33; miscellaneous, $63,864 94;
families of volunteers, $200; taxes, $4B 82;
Hughes fund, $100; interest, commission and
discounts, $8,838 50; police, $52,188 54. Total,
$132,498 38. North Ward expenses were $26,-
532 70; Middle Ward, $21,798 94; South Ward,
$20,654 01.
Fru MarrzTo-day the Weceaeoe Rose
Company of Camden will bring home and house
their new and elegant steamer. This machine
costs $45,000, and in order 'to assist the company
in defraying the burden of debt thus created, the
city council have presented them with a year's
appropriation in advance.
BTILESTS TO BE OPENED.—III keeping with the
progress of public improvements, Berkley street,
from Sixth to Broadway, and Sixth street, from
Clinton to Morris, are to be opened and dedi
cated-es public highways, in conformity with the
surveyed plan of the city.
TICE DEMOCRATIC PARADB.—The Democratic
procession and torchlight parade on Saturday
evening, notwithstanding the inclement weather,
was well attended, and made a very creditable
display. Clubs from various sections of the
county participated in the display.
NPROVEMENT.—The City Councils have
passed an ordinance authorizing the paving of
Federal street, from the junction of the Haddon
field turnpike to Newton avenue, the extreme
limit of the city. ' •
Chat About the Duke of Wellington.
I had the pleasure more than once of seeing
and saluting this famous English hero. Every
one took off his hat to the Duke in those
days, and if he were cantering along in one
of the London Parks, you could trace his
progress by the hats that were lifted to him.
One day, m London, when I happened to
stroll into eit. James Park, I observed that a
great number of carriages and gentlemen
on horseback were going toward one
of the entrances of Buckingham
Palace, the London residence of
Queen Victoria. These carriages stopped
but a few moments at the palace „door, and
then rolled away. A great crowd of people
had gathered to witness this spectacle, and I
being very young and a stranger in the place,
joined them, and stood there a long time,
admiring the beautiful equipages, the excellent
horses, and showy n livieries. Dukes and duch
esses, earls and countesses, barons, baronets,
knights and commoners, many of them dis
tinguished for more than rank and wealth,
passed in review before the crowd, without
eliciting from them any mark of respect, or
recognition.
But at length an elderly-looking gentleman
came up on horseback, attended by a single
servant, whom every one instantly recognized,
by his large and peculiar nose, to be the
Duke of Wellington. There was no indication
of the military man about him, except the
stripes down his trowsers, which, on that
day, as the Court was in mourning, were
black. The moment he appeared, every hat
was removed, and he acknowledged the
salutation of the crowd by raising his fore
finger to the brim of his hat, and holding it
there as he passed along. I saw him after
ward, when but a single individual took off
his hat to him, no one else being present at
the moment, but whether, one did so, or a
multitude, the Duke always lifted his finger in
the same courteous, military fashion.
A princess had been born the day before,
and all these distinguished people were going
to the palace to inquire respecting the health
of the Queen and the little stranger. They
merely alighted, and entering an ante-room,
made the inquiry of some official person,
wrote their names in a book, and retired.
The Duke was seventy-four years of age then,
but while he remained on his horse he sat
erect and firm, and might have passed for a
well-preserved man of sixty-five. It was
only when he was getting off his horse, and
getting on again, that he showed some signs
of decrepitude. The young stranger could
not help thinking that, when the Duke of
Wellington "mounted in hot haste" for the
field of Waterloo, there must have been more
spring in his back-bone than there was on
this occasion. However, he required no as
sistance, and when he had given his bridle to
hie servant, he stepped lightly enough toward
the door of the palace.
There was something touching and roman
tic in the spectacle of this aged warrior,whose
lifemust forever be an essential part of the
history of his country, paying homage to a
youthful Queen. Lie was a warm friend both
of the Queen and the throne, and there was
said to be in his demeanor towards her a
beautiful blending of respect and affection.
The Queen,on her part, cherished for him an
unbounded veneration.
During the time when he was Prime Minis
ter, his immovable opposition to liberal
measures made him,for tv short time,the most
unpopular man - in England: - ` - beautiful
and spacious house near the principal en
trance to Hyde Park, his country's gift, was
assailed by the mob and its windows broken.
At the same time his statue, just within the
park, was pelted; but as it was made of iron,
the stones rolled harmlesssly about the pedes
tal of the statue, land lay within the
railings. The indomitable old Tory,
justly indignant at the outrage, boarded up
the windows of his house, and refused for a
long time to inhabit it or have it repaired. He
did, however, at length, so far relent as to
have the windows replaced, and to live in
the house as usual; but the stones which had
fallen about the statue were not removed for
some years, and I saw them myself in 1843.
At that time, every American, on getting
access to the gallery of the House of Lords,
desired, first of all, to have the Duke of Wel
lington pointed out to him. I well remember
seeing the Duke, sitting in his accustomed
seat, in his accustomed attitude—his arms
folded, his legs crossed, and his hat .drawn
over his eyes; as though he had seated hita-

self for an afternoon nap.- He had -a singu
larly insignificant appearance while seated
thus, as he was slightly undersized, and his
formidable nose was concealed. It was a
warm afternoon, and he had on White trow
sera. seldom has an innocent youth betm more
astonished than I was when I was told that
that sleepy little gentleman, on the , floor of
the house, was the great Duke of Wellington,
the hero of Waterloo, the conqueror of Na
poleon t.
An hour afterwards, when the House ad
journed, I hurried down to the entrance to - see
him pass,• and possibly to have a sight of him
as he mounted his horse and rode away.
Both these privileges 1 enjoyed. He cer
tainly looked better as he stepped out of the
house, and brought up his , anger to the brim
of his hat to the people who uncovered before
him. His face, I remember, seemed all
nose, and indeed I can recall nothing of his
countenance at this time, except that well
developed organ.—Jaynes Parton.

THE COlerltTB.
The Rejection olkthe , Votes of Ilatural
• toed Citizens.
. • ,
In the cases heard in the Court - of Quarter Ses
sions on Saturday, a report of which was pub
lished in thektatskris of that day, Judge Brew
ster gave the following opinion :
In a matter of so much importance, I would
like to take time to deliberate on the points pre
sented. But the matter was in part beforo me on
last Saturday morning,and since the petition was
presented, 1 have reflected on the matter, and
given much thought and attention to it. Sof
will state my decision now. This is
a case of great importance. It concerns
numerous election officers throughout, 250 odd
precincts in this city. Those who were elected
were compelled to serve. Men who do this aro
liable • ter.very heavy punishment ; , if &hog know- ,
ingly accept a fraudulent, or reject a legal Vote.
There arc certain elementary principles,' which I
take to be my guide. in the littlevhaos which
surrounds all this controversy in question of law.
The first is that the validity of the certificate of
record must be determiucti by the paper-sth
Southwortb, p.-114, and Bilarewood in Comition
wealth vs. Louden; second, that nit things done
by officers of the law,, especially by judges. are
prest‘ined,until the contrary, isprovedto be true.
he authority of judges, cannot be impeached.
This is another things must bo pro
umed to be solemnly upright. •
Applying this teat to the [Sets before me,
they stand thus:.
Certain
. •
Certain perions claiming to be naturalized ap
peared at the polls and claimed the right to vote,
presenting certificates of naturalization purport-
Ing to be issued by the Supreme Court, with its
seal and signature of its Prothonotary. These
were rejected. How the judges reached their de
c Mils lam not advised. In one case there
was a difference of opinion between
the inspectors. In the others the in
frpectors appear to have been silent.
In the case of the man from New York ho could
not abjure his allegiances that ho had already
done. I hold it to be the law of the land that a
judge of election is not allowed to go into these
matters. It is not for him to judge whether a
man who presents himself to vote has been
naturalized in another State. Ho was to accept
it. It would be a sad - thing if election
officers could go behind acknowledged- pa
pers. He has nothing to do with
the question of jurisdiction. This is
a question of grave importance. A judge of the
inferior courts should hesitate a long time before
undertaking to judge the superior court. He
should leave it to the judges of the superior
court. If this was an ordinary case which is pre
sented, I believe it would be my duty to remand
the relators. But there Is an element in the case
to which I cannot close my eyes. A judge of
election is presumed to have judicial knowl
edge.
It appears that one of . the Justices of the Su
preme Court, writing in his name and for ano
ther Justice of the Supreme Court in reference to
this matter, declared in these words:
"We all three regard the practice of naturali
zation pursued in the Nisi Prins, however old or
by whatever Judges sanctioned, as contrary to
the plain words of the acts of Congress, and as
therefore ILLEGAL:
He writes not only for himself but for a third
gentleman, commissioned by the Governor, bat
who had not yet taken his seat. tikes been pro
perly suggested that the opinion of that gentle
man is entitled to no weight- There is great
truth in that remark..
But this will stand as the recorded judgment of
two of the judges of the court. Therefore, this
naturalizatloc was contrary to the - plain words
of Congress and, therefore, illegal. I do not
pause to ledge of the right of judges to address
themselves this way. In the opinion of Judge
Sbarswood there appears to be another matter of
difficulty in reference to these papers.
A rule was entered againat the Prothonotary of
the court to show why an attachment should not
be issued for contempt. That gave rise, to a pro
tracted investigation before Judge Sitar:mood,
and at the close of the arguments he took time to
conalder the points presented. In his opinion
he touches on the subject of the genuineness of
the sealettached to the papers. Hp says, after
hearing th all the case, and the testimony of Moran
and oers,that they were not sealed in the office,
and therefore fraudulent. It, is in proof in this
case that two justices in the Supreme Court pro
nounced these papers contrary to the act of Con
mesa and illegal,and another pronounced some as
forgeries, ana that a die had, been made counter
feiting the seal of the court. •
It le to be hoped that this will never occur again.
This impeaching the dignity of the court and two
other justices the seal. So successfully was the
seal of the court counterfeited that two judges
could not tell it, and that die was;, still in exis
tence. This placed the election oaken in a ca
rious position,' when papens , were vreaented,
whether to accept or reject them. If they ac
cepted the, vote, according to the opinion of two
judges they could be indicted. If they rejected
the vote they could be indicted for it. In it
there wait the grave and serious resporsibility of
deterinining two' questiOnS—the genuineness of
the law and the genuinenesa of the seal.
When it is zuolluated that the judge himself
had & difficulty in deciding, and the Prothono
tary could not recognize his signature, it can
readily be seen what great difficultleithere were.
The law imparts that full faith must be given
to its seal, but it is only when it is a genuine im
pression. It is not when papers par porting to
bear the seal of the court are presented that they
must be accepted without inquiry; that would be
terrible. If a paper is genuine, it is the bounden
duty of the officer to receive the vote. But irre
spective to any opinion of the court, if forgeries
itis his duty to reject them. lam here to pass
on the question of faith; does the evidence sat
isfy rue that they acted in good faith or cor
ruptly ?
If I had a moment of doubt on the subject, I
would send the •relators to a jury, for it would be
the duty of a jury to determine. But it is my
duty to remember, that as sworn judges of the
law, they are entitled to as much respect as any
judge, of the bench or in the land. It may, be in
this case that the relators inflicted great wrong
on voters, and that the seal was genuine. Bat
they take that risk. If they do, they will be
liable for damages to every man so damaged.
But shall I, send them as criminals to the bar of
the Quarter Sessions, to go to jail if not able to
pay the tine ? I cannot take that responsibility.
This is a case of the law maxim which tells me
to give full faith and credit to'thests judges, and I
am, therefore, obliged to discharge them.
