Chbi&t akd Pii-ats; or, Truth akd tub
Sword —The following iB the conclusion of the
sixth sermon of the series oi the Mediation of
Christ acd the Inspiration of the Scriptures, deli
vered lest lord’s I>*y afternoon, by Dr. T. H. Stock
lon pastor of ihe Church of the New Testament,
coiner of Eleventh and Wood streets:
\% what is truth 1” Ay, indeed, what is truth! Pi
late, probably, said this In scorn; but how did Jesus
pity him, and how should we pity all who are like
him. There it ia, the same old question: the Sword
cr the Tru'h—which is the mightier? There stood
the two chosen representatives of the two powers,tide
by side; the haughty Roman and the humble Naz%-
rsce. There they stood, with the people before them.
There they stood, with the world before them. There
they stood, with the ages before them. There they
stood.;- the Roman, metbiDks, with a princely iobe
of spotless splendor, and a jewelled crown of
cushioned gold; but the Nazarere, in mockery, with
a wreath or thorns, and faded folds of cast off pur
ple ! •ttm they stood ; the Roman reflecting the
glory of the loftiest and mw* illustrious throne on
earth; tut the Nszarene, with the BhadOW of the
cross failing upon hiss p .Ic face, and clasped hands,
and naked feet! There they stood; and the people,
and the world, and the *gea all scowled upon the
Nsza T CEe, and cried: “Awsj with him! away with
him r ciucify him I crucify him!” And the same
people* and woild, and egos bowed low before the
Homan* atd raze seals with the shout: “We have
noiiiligbut Ciessr!” There they stood; and still
the Nazarene had only IbUto say: “Every one
that is of the Truth, hcaretb my voice;” and the
Roman haply bought, even if too proud to declare
it: “And every one that is ol' the Sword, heareth
mine!” So, Jc«us died on the cross, and Pilate sur
vived on the throne. At ti* at moment it might have
been raid-- “The Krrasr, with the eword in hie
hand told* audiulcs !he u-oiid The whole Bledi
teuanean is his, with all iis coasts, from Maurita
nia Nuroidia, Lj bia, and Egypt, round about to
Palestine, Syria, Asia Minor, Greece, Italy, Gaul,
and Spain.” At the same moment, it might have
been said of the Nazareue, with only the truth on
his tongue: “ The foxes have holes, and the birds ol
the air have nests, but the Son of Man hath not
where to lay his head!”
And what now? Eighteen ccntui-ies have "goae
by. "What ia the reiultl Which is the stronger—
the Sword or the Truth? S; eak, Pilate! Spesk,
Jerusalem! Speak, Rome! Let the people speak.
Let the world speak. Let the ages speak. What!
is there no ;answei 1 Rehab! the face of, Jesus!
like the sun, shining in’ile strength. And hark, the i
voice of Jesus! mnriiiar sb the voice of man, but j
sewcMug and subduing aa the spirit of God : Did I !
not say—“ And I. if 1 be lifted up from the earth* I
will draw all men unto me 1” Did I not nay: “AU |
power is given unto me, m Heaven and ia earth? 9 ’
•<He&v£n and earth shall pats away, but my words
shall not pass away!” And the graves of Kings,
and the sepulchres of Empires thrill with the chal
lenge, but cannot deny it. And the Church claps
her hands, and responds, from earth to Heaven, and
fiom Heaven to earth, Amen! And Heaven and
earth themselveß respoud, Amen l Even so, O Lord
our Lord! Let us perish: but ocly at the altar of
Thytiuth, and for the glory of Thy name—Thy
name, O Thou in whom i» our hope of renewal, for
the everlasting habitation of the e*ints; ia whose
hands the sword shall glisten s;o more, bat on whose
eyes, sed mind*, and the irutb, even Thy
tiuth, Basil Bhine forever and ever!
Lectueb by the Rev. Wm. Cathcaet. —The
Rev. We. Cathcart, pastor of the Second Baptist
Church of this city, is to deliver a lecture ia hia
church, New Market street, .on Tuesday evening,
March Ist, on “ What Europe feels, fears, and
hopes, in connection with the great American Re
bellion. 9 ' Mr. Cathcart has taken a deep and intel
ligent interest in this subject fiom the beginning of
war, and what he has now to say will be worth
hearing. The proceeds of the lecture will be for the
benefit of the Sunday schools connected with his
church.
pav. E. W. Hutter on the Necessity for
Organizing a Lutheran City Missionary So
ciety.—A* a meeting recently held in St. John’s
(Lutheran) Church, Race street, for the purpose of
organizing a Lutheran City Missionary Society, the
Rev. E. W. Hutter, pastor ol St. Matthew’s Luthe
ran Church, New street, delivered a characteristic
and forcible address, in which he embraced a number
of interesting church statistics, which we will take
the liberty of republishing ia the following extract;
“The necessity for the organization of a society
such as is here contemplated becomes fully apparent
when we turn to the well-authenticated church sta
tistics cf our consolidated city. From these it ap
pears that there were within its limits, in the year
1811, forty-four houses of worship. The number now
is three hundred and forty. The Lutherans then
had four churches; we now number fifteen. The
German Reformed had two. since increased to
eleven; the Episcopalians five, now sixty.six;
the Presbyterians six, now seventy; the B*p
tists six, now thirty-nine; the Roman Catholics
four, now thirty; the Quakers four, now twelve.
These results, it must be confessed, are in no wise
complimentary to us Lutherans ; for, had we pro
giesaed in the same ratio with the Methodists, in
stead of fifteen houses of worship, we would have
twenty*six; If with the Presbyterians, we would
number hfty-two; If with the Episcopalians, thirty
nine ;j£ with the Roman Catholics, thirty ; if with
the Baptists, twenty-six. On the basis named, we
a T e slightly behind tne German Reformed. Bat, to
our c;edit be it spoken, we have run a little ahead
ol the Quakers; for, while in 1811 we .were even in the
number of our housts of wo*ship, they now have
but twelve, whereas we, as stated, number fifteen,
1 could sot command the statistics of church- men
btrznjp, but doubtnotthe general aspeotiathe same.
It is a note-worthy fact, that we have not a solitary
preaching station in this city west of Broad street,
although uearly half the r eaident p opul atioa is there.
*We have no church, or mission of any kind, in West
Philadelphia, none in Brideaborg, none in Rich*
rnond, none in Holmesbuig; no English organiza
tion in Frankford, none in ALanayunk. If we ex
cept the enterprising church ol the Rev* Mr. Shee
leigb, in Patayucls, and the comparatively unknown
Missouri Synod Church, on Carpenter street, we
have no church in this city south of Arch street,
though We have a Mission Sunday-school oa Chris
tian street, above Sixth. Some one has said:
“Figures don’t lie.” In this case, without contro
versy, they convict us Lutherans, resident in this
city, of a manifest want of the spirit of progress;
and, however uncomplimentary the exhibit, it would
be folly not to look it squarely in the face, make
confession of our sins, and endeavor, by God’s help,
to‘do better hereafter. 9 ”
Reception of a Pastor —A meeting was held in
the Ohapel, at Eleventh and Wood streets, on Mon
day night last, for the public reception of Rev.
Alexander Clark as junior pastor of the Church of
the New Testament. Appropriate addresses were
delivered by Rev. Dr. Krauth and Dr. Cornell; a
Statement was made by Lieut. Fittenger, one of Mr.
Claik’s special fnenda; and the concluding exercises
were conducted by Rev. Mr. Porter, of PhcenixyiUe,
and the newly-received pastor, after whioh there was
a pleasant congregational greeting. Mr. Clark Is to
preach to-morrow (Sunday) morning, at 10# o’clock,
on the subject of “ Mores Crossing the Red Sea.” In
the afternoon, at 3# o’clock, Dr. Stockton Is to con

seventh sermon being then in course. Speeialtopics:
« Exceptions to the Rule of Non-identtficaUon,” and

Intended Resignation of Rev. S. S. Schmuck
fb s D. I).—'The President of the Board of Directors
of the Theological Seminary at Gettysburg has for
mally announced the intended resignation of the
Rev. S. S. Sehmueker, D«. D., from the Professor
ship of Didactic Theology in that institution. The
following is Dr. Schmucker’a letter of notification:
Rtv F. W. Conrady President Board of Theological S&
miner y:
Dsah Brother in Christ : After nearly forty
four years spent in the active duties of the ministe
rial office, thirty*eight oi which were in connection
with the Theological Seminary. I have resolved, af
ter long and prayerful deliberation, to resign my pro
fessonbip at the next meeting of the Board, in Au
gust. * For that purpose, I now give you the oonsti-.
tutional notice of six months in advance. Whilst I
reserve to a future communication to the Board
such remarks as I may feel desirous of making, I
will, in general, state that my chief reasons for this
step, are increasing infirmities or age, and a desire
to devote the remaining yean of my life more par
ticularly to literary labors, for the cause of God and
religion.
With sentiments of the warmest fraternal regard,
I remain yours in Christ,
S. S. SGHMUOKER.
Thb « Essays and Review” Cashs.— The Lord
Chancellor of England pronounced judgment, on the
Bth intt., in the case of appeal by the Rev. Dr. R.
Williams and the Rbv. h. B. Wilson, two of the
writers of " Essays and Reviews,” who had been
sentenced to a year’s suspension. These sentences
were reversed, and costs were allowed for the pre
sent appeal. On the effect or aim of the two essays
the Lord Chancellor said it was not necessary to
express an opinion. •
SUNDAY SOHOOIf AWNIVBHBABT AT WASHING*
ton Hall.— On Thursday evening next, at Wash
ington Hall, southwest corner of Eighth and Spring
Garden streets, the TJnion Mission Sabbath School,
of this city, will celebrate its twenty-fourth anniver
sary, commencing at seven o’clock. This school is
one of the best* conducted and best officered in Phila
delphia, and its anniversaries are usually occasions
of more than ordinary interest. The managers have
favored us with a programme of exeroises in ad
vance, from which we are safe in promising a real
treat to all who attend them. The singing and reci
tations will be a prominent feature, and the address
es promised by Rev. Dr. Maloom and Rene Guillou,
Esq., will be worth healing. Let all attend who
can.
Sentence or Bishop Colrnbo.— we find in the
Observer the following acoount of the trial and sen
tence of this troublesome magnate:
In our English papers we have full reports of the
trial of Bishop Colenso, at Capetown, by the Biahons
of South Africa, under the presidency of the Bishop
of Capetown as Metropolitan. The presenting clergy
aeoused Bishop Colenso of heresy on nine counts, as
follows:
1. His disbelief in the Atonement;
8. belief in Justification without any know
ledge of Christ;
37 Hia belief in natal regeneration %
4. His disbelief in the endlessness of future punish
ments «
6. His denial that the Holy Scriptures are the
word of God:
8. His denial of the inspiration of the Holy Scrip
tute.;
i. His denial that the Bible is a true history of the
lutivblch it professes to deeoribe;
8. Hi. denial oi the divinity or our Bleated Lord;
9. Hi. depraving, impugning, and bringing into
dispute the Book ol Common Prayer,
The trial waa concluded on the 16th of December.
The suffragan bi.bop, found him guilty on all the
nine charge.. The Metropolitan .greed in that opl
°°len »o t© be deprived
o* bis see, and wl hi* nght« of office therein; The
defendant not being present to hear the judgment
or otfcerwlte, to the I6th of April next, to file a like
retractation in Capetown. On Bishop Colenso so
complying, the sentence becomes null and void. Dr.
Sleek, on behalf of the Bishop, protested against the
proceedings and the validity of the judgment, and
gave notice of appeal.

The Board of School Directors, 19th
Section.— lt seems that for some two months past
a difficulty has existed between the majority and
minority members of this Board, whioh consists of
two Union members and ten Opposition. The diffi
culty oiiglna ted in the following manner: At the
last meeting of the old Board, held in December,
1863, the resignation of a Union member, who had
gone into tbe army, was accepted, whereupon it
was moved and seconded that the Board proceed to
nominate and elect some person to fill the vacancy
forthwith: but one high-minded member protested
against cieoting the same evening, citing a rule in
the by laws which requires the nomination to lay
over ior one month. But, as this did not suit the
purpose of the majority, the president declared the
rule suspended without a vote, when the favo
rite of the .Opposition majority was declared
elected by acclamation. Three of the Oopo*
sition members took exception to this proceed
ing, and aeecrdiDglv entered their protest at the
next meeting of the'Board against the member who
had been proclaimed elected at the former meeting.
It was at this meeting (the first in the new year)
that the two Union members came into office, having
been elected by the people last fall. One of these is
a member of the Society of Friends, or Quakers, and
the other a well known local preaoher in me M. E
Church. These two, as might be expected, could not
coincide with the radical views and erroneous action
of the Opposition majority, by which they [declared
a veiy unpopular man elected in an illegal
manner, and consequently they joined in the
debate again et the majority, our local-preaoher
member, being in the habit of saying: things
pietty plainly, seems to have touched some of the
majority in a tender place, whereupon he encountered
a tirade of pemonal abuse and vindictives from the
opposite aide. Finally, our preacher becoming fully
disgusted with the proceedings, under the exoitemeot
of the moment offered his resignation, whioh was
given back to him alter being read by tbe , «eeret&ry.
The Board adjourned in confusion, without taking
any action on the resignation.
Thus the matter rested until the meeting of the
Board held on Thursday evening, on which occasion
the Opposition majority, with a strong posse of the
political leaderß as lobby members, were all on hand.
Upon the concluding paragraph of the minutes of
the previous meeting bfeing read, slating that Mr.
James L. Turner had oiiiered his resignation, Mr.
Turner arose (in place) and said: “Mr. Presi
dent, I beg leave to give notice that the resignation
offered by me at the last stated meeting (ana not
acted upon) is withdrawn.” The majority members,
evidently anxious to get rid of Mr. Turner’s pre
sence in the Board, objected, and the president de
cided that the consent of the Board must be ob
tained before the record can be made that Mr.
Turner’s resignation is withdrawn. After much dis
cussion, it was entered upon the minutes of the
Board that “ Mr. Turner asked leave to withdraw
his resignation, which was laid over until next
meeting.” Mr. Turner atose, and disclaimed asking
any such leave, but insisted that had oily given no
tic© that his resignation had been withdrawn by
himself before any action had been taken upon it by
the Board, &c.
White Ukiok Refugees at the South
wbbt.—Rev. 33. Folsom, hospital chaplain at Cairo,
111-, travelling under special order of General Reid,
commanding that post, for the puiposa of raising
money and clothing lor the relief of suffering thou
sands of white Union refugees -being brought by
military authority to Cairo, from Tennessee, Ar
kansas, Mississippi, and Louisiana, in large num
bers, almost daily, nearly ail of them In a state of
entire destitution, having been roboed of all means
of support by the barbarity of rebel soldiers or
guerilla bands, and often the husbands and fathers
murdered in the presence of the wives and children,
and their houses burned. These families are com
pelled to flee to the lines of the Union army for pro
tection from sueh terrible destitution and suffering.
Mr. Folsom is now in this city on this humane ;
mission, and will not those in our quiet and pros
peioue community who have abut dance be touched
by the cry and want that is brought to ua from these
? They are hungry and poor, and
shelterless, and ask of us food and raiment, and the
needful means to reach kindred and friends or such
localities as they may find work to earn their bread..
These poor wandererß are received with open arms
to the care and protection of the Federal armies,
and are traneDorted it the Government expense as
far North as Uairo, at which locality they are left
dependent upon the voluntary contribution of the
patriotic and benevolent for relief from their urgent
necessities, and for transportation. Many of them
having formerly emigrated from the Northern and
Western States, desire to reach relatives or friends.
Those who have no friends to look to, must be car
ried to fcuch localities as will give them shelter and
work, that they may support themselves until the
war ia over, and they permitted to return to their
homes. Money ia uaed solely to meet expenses of
transportation—the railroads take them at half fare.
Government furnishes temporary shelter and food,
while they are compelled to remain at Cairo. Hun
dreds of families arrive without a single change of
apparel to put on while they cleanse those they
wear. Mr. Folsom, on hii way,visited the principal
towns, beginning at 'Chicago, through the State of
New York to this city, where he has spent several
weeks in soliciting aid for this ciass of our fellow
citizens, and in every init&nee has met a generous
response, having collected and remitted near $14,000.
and much valuable clothing, which has afforded
great relief to the almost naked women and child
ren. Over $B,OOO of the above amount waa contri
buted during Mr. Folsom’s stay in the city of New
York.
The estimateof Gen. Reid, recently communicated
by letter to Mr. F., of the probable wants, required
him to raise, if possible, the additional amount of at
least $6, goo, for immediate use, before be is allowed
to return.to his duties as chaplain in the post hos
pital at Cairo.
Money and clothing may be sent to H. N. Thlssell,
American Tract Society rooms, 929 Chestnut street.
Clothing for women and children mainly needed.
From latest advices, refugees are arriving at Cairo
in largely increasing numbers—recently over 400 on
one transport and 250 on another—not a boat ar
riving from below on the Mississippi river that has
not more or less of these destitute refugees.
Mrs. Smith and Mts. Safford, the wives of the pre
sident and cashier, of the City Bank of Cairo, have
devoted a portion of their residences, and are giving
their personal attention, to receiving] clothing ana
distributing the same.
The treasurer has already received a generous re
sponse to circulars sent out, as will! be seen by ac
knowledgments in another column.
Colored Persons and the Passenger
Railed ad Cabs.—A man meeting of colored per.
sons was held on Thursday evening, to take into
consideration their exclusion from the use or the
cars on the passenger railroads in this city. Wm. S.
Catts, James Hamilton, and John Oliver were ap
pointed a committee on resolutions, who reported
the following:
Whereas, The disabilities which we. as colored Ame
rlcans.labor under in this city of Philadelphia, by being
deprived of the free use of ihe city passenger rail way
street cars, demand from us an expression ot our views
and thoughts upon this outrage towards us; therefore,
he it
Resolved* That we regard our exclusion from the cars
by those whose prerogative it is to admit all sober and
re»t< ctable persons to share alike a seat within the cars,
as not only lacking the spirit of true manhood and a di«-
position to facilitate ana accommodate impartially the
travelling public, but also pandering totheunjnst pre
judices or such people as are led by false pride, founded
in ignorance, as to demand the exclusion of colored per
sons from the city cars.
Whereas . We have respectfully appealed to the presi
dents of the various companies comprising the city lines
to adopt some measure or mode by which colored per
sona should have access within the cars as other travel
lers ; and, whereas, up to this late period we have re
ceived no notice whatever that our petitions and appeals
have been considered by said corporations; be it, tnere
fore,
R&olved . That we will continue to protest against our
exclusion frexu the street oars, and will use every effort
within our power to have every obstruction or restriction
removed from our enjoying the same privileges as other
passengers.
Resolved* That, as tax-payers owning property in the
chy ana county of Philadelphia, paying our just propor
tion of taxes as other persons, for public improvements,
to the amount of thousands of dollars annually some of
us owning stock in these street lines, convinces us, and
should all right-minded persons, that our exclusion
from the cars is unjust. iUega.', and a glaring outrage
agaiust right, jmtice, and law
W tunas. The street-passenger railway car companies
obtain thole chatter, from the Legislature of Pcnnarlva
sin. making them common carriers for the accommoda
tion of the public, they have no legal right to exclude auy
person who may, in a respectful manner, ask a passage
onthecarB: Therefore, belt
Resolved* That the colored people of Philadelphia do
petition the Legislature of Pennsylvania that “they
provide by law tne right of all reipectah.e colored per
sons the free use of every city passenger railway ear.
and. bylaw, provide against their ejection or exclusion
from cqu&l enjoyment of all railroad privileges in the
city ana county or Philadelphia.
Jasolved, That we hall with pleasure and gratitude
the report from Washington, D. C., of the resolution of
Senator Sumner, and sustained by Senators, representa
tive!, editors, and civilians, protesting against the out
rages practised against colored citizens by ejecting them
from the cars.
The above resolutions were unanimously adopted,
after which the meeting adjourned.
Cool Impudence.— la consequence of
the State of Delaware not giving a bounty to color
ed men enlisting there, a number of .lave, have
left their master, and travelled to this city, where
they could enll.t in the .ervice of Uncle Sam, and
also receive the large amount of money given to
colored men. The slaveholder, have become im
bued with the idea that they are entitled to a por
tion of their .laves’ money, .Imply because these
men were, at one time, their property. In order to
obtain this money, several or them have visited the
headquarter, of the Supervisory Committee, where
they made application to that effect. This sort of
proceeding being contrary to law, order, and com
mon sense, they did not meet with the succetß
which wa. expected, but, like the other sharper,
who visit that place for the purpose of fleecing the
poor soldier, out of a portion of their money, were
sent away with the polite intimation never to show
their face, within the walls of that building again.
Thi. policy jb . wise and commendable one, and
credit l. due to tbe member, of that committee for
the .tend they have taken.

Dr. Geo. O. Barker, D. I>,, then delivered the vale
dictory address. He alluded, on commencing, to the
condition of the graduates in leaving the college
walls for the more aotive duties of life, and the new
responsibilities they thereby assumed. The first re
quisite is a general knowledge of medicine and sur
gery, end a thorough familiarity with the science or
specialty of dental surgery. A second qualification
is matipulstion, ability, and mechanical skill.
But these are cot the only requisites. There are
others just as important, and, lndfiftd, they are in
dispensable. They ate honesty, perseveranoe, pv
tiience, and a love for this peouliar calling. In the
outset of your career, said the speaker, be steadfast
in your honesty of action and of purpose. Bb not
enticed from these by any of those temptation!
vs high are so alluiing in appearance, and which seem
impossible of detection, work which you kaow is
imperfectly performed never pasefrom your hands,
though In accomplishing it you accomplish that
Which will last sufficiently long to exonerate you
from any blame of an imperfect operation. Early in
your career practice those virtues of honesty and
seli ietpect which alone are the sure conditions of
success.
The specialty of dentistry can never be placed in
the position where it belongs unless the practi
tioners are men of high-toned honor and integrity.
They must obtain its position and retain it. Pa
tienoe and perseveranoe are necessary to the true
dentist. He must watt until his woik is appreci
ated, and then society will award him the position
bis merit entitles him to fill. Then an artist dentist
must love his profession, The artist loves the
imagery which his Augers trace in response to the
promptings of his imagination; and so a dentist
must love his work. When he has a case of diseased
dental organism presented to him, he first removes
the dead parts, and proceeds carefully to replace
tho&eqpat portions, and as he watches the particles
of golu welded closely and compactly together to
foim the lost structures, he experiences a feeling or
satisfaction which is worth more than the remunera
tion he receives. . ,
As the age advances the demands upon the dental
profession also advance.. The times are favorable
for the preferment of truth and manhood, and while
everything bears tbemarlc of the age, of progress and
of action, the dental surgeons eannot be excepted,
but must advance with the spirit of the age. The
protection oan contribute to the progress of science
by teaching the principles of their specialty as well
as practicing it. The Ameriean people value natu
ral teeth and appreciate the benefits of dentistry.
But, with all this, we are not what we should be.
We are careleeaconcerning our teeth, andignorant,
to a great dcgiee, of the proper rules for preserving
their healthful condition. Physicians, in their prac
tice, continually meet diseases invited by disorders
of the dental organism. . We all are addicted to the
DAtiocal vice of eating too rapidly. Instead of mas
ticating our rood we ** bolt” it, and by Jiving falsely,
predispose ourselves to dißease. Mothers neglect
the temporary teeth of their children, a subject
which should be carefully attended to.
The duties and studies of the past session were
proßFcuted under the blersiogs of pdaoe. ' The tu
mult of rushing hosts never has disturbed our ears.
The bravo men fighting for our liberties have pre
served us from disquietude and disorder; to them be
the praise and glory.
Dr. Baiker closed his address with the farewell
charge to the graduates as follows: And now,
fiiialiy, gentlemen, I close these remarks with the
earnest wish that every duty in life will receive from
you a faithful performance. On behalf of my col
leagues and myself, I bid you God speed 'and an
affectionate farewelL
PUBISHED FOB SMUGGLING WHISKY.—
On Thursday la&t, a citizen was caught smuggling
whisky to the colored soldiers stationed at Gamp
William Penn- This mode of doing business is
directly the reverse of military rules; be was ac
cordingly put under arrest by Colonel Wagner,
commander of that post, who punished him in the
following manner: One end of a barrel was knocked
out, and a hole made in the other sufficiently large
to admit the culprit’s head. It was labelled, <( I
smuggled whisky into camp.” This new style of
surtout wbb placed on him, and he was compelled to
march up and down the oamp all day long, exposed
to the eight and jeers of the soldiers and visitors.
Let this be a warning to others, as Colonel Wagner,
who is a strict military man, will inflict a punish
ment worse than the above on the next individual
caught in a similar aot.
Accidental.—Tße dummy engine that
was pretty well smashed by the collision, as men
tioned yesterday, belonged to the Fifth and Sixth
street, and not to the Second and Third-street Rail
road Company. The affair, we have since learned,
cannot be Attributed to any want of proper care on
the part of the attaches of the North Pennsylvania
Railroad, because the dummy engine ran into the
locomotive. Since the deplorable accident that hap
pened on the Second and Third-street road, by which
one poo? woman lost an arm, and several others
were more or lefts injured, the greatest care has been
taken by all persona having charge of locomotives
and trains on the North Pennsylvania track. There
iB no better conducted road in the State than the
North Pennsylvania.
_Recruiting of Colored Men. —Seven-
ty>one colored men were recruited by the Supervisory
Committee on Thursday, and a sufficient number
yesterday to fill the fifth company of the 321 Regi

case, it will be formed in less time than any previous
one, __

Court of Quarter Sessions-Judge Ludlow.
Commonwealth vs. Wm. A. McE wen and Michael
F. Costello. The defendants were charged with
having committed an assault and battery on John
R. Eeke. The aflfair occurred about two months
ago In Filth atreet near Chestnut, and wa, "caused,
as wa, alleged, by feeling growing out ol a “ strike”
by the printers, eto., of tne Age newspaper office,
both defendants having been employees there, and
members of the Typographical Union. The prose
cutor was one of the men who aecepted employment
in the place of those who had struck. He testified
that on a night soon after, when he had finished his
work, and had left the office to go home, he was as
saulted in Fifth atreet by MoEwen, whom he posi
tively identified, and he believed by Costello also,
though of the latter he was not so sure, and beaten.
There were several men In the party thus assailing
him, but only these two struok him.
For the defence, one witness, Mr. Devine, testified
on the night in question MoEwen and himself
were standing and conversing at the corner of Fifth
and Chestnut, when they heard a scuffle down Fifth,
near Library atreet. The two walked In that direc
tion, and he saw four or five men striking another
who broke away and ran up Fifth atreet. Before
reaching Chestnut the man, whom he then recog
nized as Eoke, wa, met by another, whom witness
did not know, and received a blow from him. The
witness stated that during the whole of this time he
and MoEwen were together, and that the latter
could not have committed an acsault upon Eeke.
The case wa, submitted - to the jury under the
Instructions of the court as to the law, leaving them
to judge of the faots. (After a few minutes’ delibera
tion they came in with a verdiot of guilty.
JudgeLudlowsaid he had seareely determined what
disposition to make of the ease. He waa In doubt
whether, in a ease like this, imprisonment should
not be imposed. One thing is oertain, and that la,
that no society, or combination of men, oan in this
community be permitted by violence, or fear of vio
lence, to control the action of any man or men to
suit their purposes. He would consider the matter
deliberately and oarefully, and In order that his
judgment might not be biassed, he would decline
to listen to suggestions from any one as to the dis
position to be made of the ease.
The defendants were directed to some Into eourt
on Monday morning. The oonrt than adjourned.
