A fight ensued, one or two blows were esehangedl
and the Intruder put out. A soldier from the West
Ph ladclphta hospital, who was present when Fore
man and his companions came in, was also charged
With tampering with tho women, and was ordered
S t As he wont out Foreman .and his two friends
followed and halted upon the front pavement, and
engaged in conversation. -While standing,there the ,
mrtv in the private box also made their appear
ance, and started toward Ninth street. ■ -;.
OnVofthera had not proceeded over fifteen yards
when he halted, and said he was going back. . One -
Jr rnmnautons shouted after him, “Yond—a
fool don’t He walked towards Foreman,
with Id" hand behind his back, and first encountered
- oneof thelattor’s associates, who thought ho saw a
taife ta Ms lmnfl, and slipped to one s.de just in
S to sa™ himself f«™ receiving a Mow. As at,
was the knife grazed his breast,amfout throughhis.
Sdrt to the skin. The assassin then pushed towards
Vnromeb and plunged tho knife into theYight side
nf his throat, inflicting a wound about an inch: long
ii imefliateiv above the collar bone, and severing
one of the large blood vessels. The wound blod pro
fusely. Foreman proceeded about half a square,
and was unable to walk any further.
Hr took a seat on the curbstone, and in a few mo
ments bled to death. A-physician, who examined
•lie wound,, yesterday, stated that
aid been at hand tho life of tho unfortunate man
could have been saved. The hemorrhage was the
cause of death. ■
The murderer, after committing the deed, coolly
ioined Ms party, and proceeded down Ninth street.
This was the last seen.of tliom, although the parties
can bo recognized when seen. The -murdered man
was conveyed to the Ninth-ward station-house. The
proprietor of the saloon in front of which the tra-
D-eilv occurred was taken into custody, and held to
await the coroner’s investigation.
One of Foreman’#companions stated that they
were at a ball the: night previous, and had been
drinking through tho day, and that deceased at the
time of tho aiiair was considerably under the iinflu

was taken for the man thathad previously interfered’
with the fcmole3. Coroner Taylor, after viewing

The Supreme Court, recently in session at Harrisburg,
delivered opinions in a number of cases belonging to the
Eastern District, as follows:

The City of Philadelphia vs. ; Tho Pennsylvania Bail
toad Company. Certificate from Nisi Prius. Opinion
by Bead, S. The Pennsylvania Kailroad Company waa
Sncoiporaied under an act of the 13th April. 1813, and a
subscription to its stock by the city of. Philadelphia, in
Its then corporate name, became a subject Of discussion
in the Councils of the corporation and amongst her dti-.:
zens. A committee of Councils obtained the opinion of
Messrs. Thomas I. Wharton and T. M. Pettit, concur
red in by Mr. John Sergcnot. in favor of the authority
of the corporation to subscribe to tho stock of the rail-'
road company, based upon the general words of the
preamble to the act of the llth of March, 1789,- incorpo
rating the city, ana of the power given by thelQth sec
tion to pass all ordinances “as shall ho necessary
or convenient for the government and welfare of the
. said city,
A contrary opinion, denying the authority of the city,
under its charter, to subscribe to a railroad company!
was given by Mr. Biuuey, accompanied by a very
learned and elaborate argument, which Mr. ; Wharton,
undertook to answer. An opinion to the samo effect
was given by the writer of this, who contouded that tho
framer 3 of the charter never intended to connect a rail
road, a bank,-a canal, or a turupikowith the corpora
tion of the city. The question formed a turning point at
the October election, nud- tho decision being in favor of
a subscription, the Councils, on tho 12th or November,
2&16, authorized a subscription to tho:stockof the com
pany, which, with other ordiminces subsequently
fif-sod, made the city .a stockholder to the amount of
,000 shares, or four millions of dollars. The city was,
>wever, not satisfied of its power under tho charter to
make Ihe subscription, and au act was passed ou. the
: 27th of March, Ifiis, validating it, and giving authority
to he municipal corporations in the county of Phtiadoi
phia to subscribe for shares in the capital stock of tho
railroad company. This was the wnoleextent of tho
: authority conferred upon the city by the Legislature .
In 1853, the question of tho constitutionality of similar
acts'of Assembly, .conierring similar authorities was
brought before this court and argued at great length by
numerous counsel, and, the result i» fo ba found in
Sluu-pIeHS vs. The Mayor, 9 Harris, 147, ft ud Moers vs.
- City of Reading, ibid: 183, in these cases mybrother
.. Strong and myself were concerned on the winning side,
.‘The uccisiou in favor of the constitutionality or those
nets was -by a baremajority of the court, and leftjio
duobt that if; the question had depended on the original
charters of the cities of Philadelphia and Beading, un
aided by special acts of the subscriptions to
the stock of the respective railroad companies would
have been declared to bo entirely invalid. At the close
of C. J. Black’s opinion, as printed in the Legal In-:
•tel 11psneer of 9tli Sept., 1858, he uses this iauguage:
•“Equally and even impossible would bo the
attempt to showthatthe case in Brightly had anything
•to do with it. There was then no act of the Assembly
permitting the subscription, No lawyer doubts that a
borough can only subscribe to a railroad when expressly
authorized by law to ddsp.” . .
Uwas therefore settled that the original subscription
of the city to the Pennsylvania Railroad Company was
invalid, but that it was confirmed and validated by tho
net of 1848. The evils of these subscriptions, by coun
* -ties and municipal corporations, wero so aggravated
that H became necessary to interfere, and prevent, by
a constitutional prohibition, all. future pledges of mu
nicipal faith auu jiropprty for such purposes under the
sanction of the Legislature; who possessed *he
power to grant the proper authority.v under diroct le
gislative sanction the City of Philadelphia had-.five
ffniitlons of valuable stocks and five millions of. utteriy
worthless stocks in various railroad companiea, sub-.
jßcribed under a great outside pressure.
The Constitution, as amended;.provides that “The
feesteUture skull iwt stutkijfizs.a#}- ««uaty, oity,
rough, township, or lacorporated district, liy virtue of
a vole of Its citizens or othonyiao, to become a stock
holder iu auy company, association, or corporation, or
to obtain money tor or loan its credit to any corpora
tion, association, Institution, or party.”
Tlio net of 18418 only authorized the city to subscribe to
the stock of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, aud
to become a. stockholder, but tlio stock thus obtained
became municipal property - , and applicable only to
strictly municipal purposes. Here the authority ended;
amt as no other act was passed before the constitutional
prohibition was made a part of the Constitution, all
power to aid by credit or money in any shape any
other corporation was taken away from a city which
required previous leaislattve sanction to do the act.
The simple question thou is, Can the city of Philarfet
phiadevote i ts stock, its money, or Us credit to the aid of a
steamship company, directly or indirectly, without the
authority of a special act of Assembly ? The answer to it
is perfectly plain that it cannot, and U is • qually clear
that the Constitution expressly forbids tho passage ot
any aucb act; and the cousequenco is, that the ordi
nance relating to a projected line of steamships from the
city of Philadelphia to foreigu ports is null and void,
and ofnoeil'ect whatever. ■ .
The plaintiffs are, therefore, entitled to the fruits 0 f
thoir verdict for the principal sum or «», deducting
from the whole verdict of SOM?2 the sum of #992 for in
terest, and thus modified, tho judgment is affirmed.
CThe ordinance referred eo in tho above decision was
-passed .Tune, 1863, and tho object ofit was to indemnify
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company against loss by
.reason • of a subscription-- they .proposed - making to. tho:
stock of what wasconnnonly called “itftudairs" Steam

the part of the Church to recede from any ground it had
already obtained. The Church had been em nently
favored of God, and no other denomination, with the .
exception of the Methodists, had increased in. such
rapid proportion as this bqdy had, and he hoped that :
the idealof giving up aoy station iliat .had been .esta

SYNOD OF THE REFORMED PRESBYTERIAN
CHURCH (OLD SCHOOL.)
SEVENTH DAY.
. Morning Session.— The court was convened by the
Moderator, Rev. S. Bowden.
After the roll was called the minutes were read and
approved.
Rev. James R, W. Sloane, of New York, introduced
the following resolutionson the state of thereduhtry,
which were unanimously adopted;
Whereas, The nation is now suffering from those in
flictions of the Divine wrath which are the neces
sary results of .its forgetfulness of God, and oppression
ofman ; and whereas, in oar judgment, love to our
country is best manifested, not by flattery, but by
faithful warning and reproof; and whereas, Reformed
Presbyterians have from the first existence of this na
tion predicted the present calamity as tho inevitable
consequence of'the course which it waß pursuing ;
therefore, '
Resolved, That we call this nation.to an humble ac
knowledgment of its sins, and a speedy haUouaUre
pentauce, as the only means of averting present and
still greater judgments; to recognize in its Constitution
the name and authority of God, the Scriptures as its’
fundamental law, and Christ as ruler over tho nations.
Resolved, That we demand, iu.the great name of that
God with whom there is no respect of persons, the im
mediate unconditional emancipation of all persons held
in slavery, in the JDnited : States; the abolition of all
laws making odious distinctions on account of color,
and such an amendment of the Constitution as will for
ever prevent involuntary servitude, except for crime,
in the United States.
Resolved, That while we cannot,until these demands
be met, identify .ourselves with the Government by
oaths of aUegiauce, or any other acts which involve
complicity in the guilt of the nation, that, nevertheless,.
in the present fearful conflict our entire sympathies are
With the North, and that we will exert our infitusnee, in
all ways consistent with a faith'ui practical testimony,
and with our welbconsidered and long-established
principles, to secure the suppression of the rebellion.
Resolved, That wc hold in utter abhorrence the pre
sent rebellion, as the most impious attempt to establish
mischief,.by law, that tho world has ever seen; that we
express our utter detestation of it in all its purposes and
principles, and will hold no fellowship, political or ec-.
clesiastical, with its aiders and abettors North and
South. > . -
- Resolved, That we deprecate the tardiness of the na
tionin meting out absolute justice.to the colored race,
as calculated to provoke Heaven, to protract the war, to
intensify our present calamities, and to endanger our
very existence osa a nation.
Resolved, That in the noble devotion of the colored
race to the nation In this day of its calamity• their pa
tient endurance of wrong; their sublime trust in Provi
dence; their insatiable thirst for knowledge; their un
daunted.heroism and courage on the field of battle; their
forbearance under persecution, we find the refutation of
the malignant slanders which have beau heaped upon
Uiem, and another illustration of the great truth that
God has made of one blood all nations of men, and the
signs of the approaching day in which “ Ethiopia shall
stretch out her hand to God.”.
Rev. Nathan R. Johnson, of Vermont, offered the fol
lowingresolutions, which weroadopted;
, Resolved, That wo have great c uise to rejoice, thank
God, and take courage, that since our last meeting so
many efforts ha ve been made, both among the people
and in Congress, as well as by several ecclesiastical bo
dies, to effect amendments to the United States Consti
tution, and that such noble testimony has been borne
in favor of the rights of God and imtn. in which wo

of the necessity of consummating a union of the A. M.
K. Zion aud A. M. -E. Churches, in which he claimed
that Christianity and the destiny of the colored people
demand that they should be united.
Elder Kennedy was much opposed to the union, and
declared he had many reasons against the object.
The greatest confusion ensued during the remarks of
tho last speaker, during which Elder Bosley proposed
that the Provost Guard of this city be called, in to keep
Order. [Laughter.]
Elder H. Johnson wished to bs understood that he was
in favor of the union, and hoped that his motives would
not be perverted.

cision of the Annual Conference,'which, iu their judg
ment. thev deemed was right, and that said Elder did
not abide nis suspension, but continued to officiate.
A lengthy discussion ensued, which- developed that
this case was complicated by au omission on the part of
the Annual Conference. Tho report of tkecommitfee
was laid on the table, and Etder Marshal was received
