DIXON, DIIFFY ct CO
WHEtteas, The Sabbath is a divine
institution, designed to promote the
morality and peace of communities; and
whereas, the law of God forbids the en
joyment on that day of suehamusenients
and recreations as may be lawful on
the other days of the week; and
i l i WHEREAS, Sabbath desecration, is
iarminglyf on the increase in this and
;other communities, •endanring the in-
Uteresta of religion no less th a n the moral
'one of society, and
War.nuas, It has been recently an
minced through the columns of our
public newspapers, that a portion of our
fellow citizens intend to observe the
coming Fourth of July, which occurs
on Sabbath, by conducting a dem
onstration on our streets and in the heart
of oar city, which will not only interfere
with the quiet of worshipping assemblies
in the house of God, but must greatly
tend to the demoralization of our youth.
Therefore.
Resolved, 1. That we deem the Sabbath
and its •quiet observance as the hand
maid of religion in the churcbi morality
and prosperity in the nation. and that
nothingsbould be allowed to disturb the
religious keeping of it by ail the people,
Resolved, 2. That we regard the pro
mooed demonstration on the Fourth as
an interference with the just rights of the
church going people, and a violation of
the well known oustotna of this commun
ity on that day.
Resolved, 3. That we heartily recipro-
cate the loyal intentions of any of our
citizens to celebrate the day which gave
bilth to• American Independence, and
believe it highly proper that it should be
kept alive In the memories and hearts of
all our people, yet it should never be in
violation of His law, who is Supreme
Ruler among the nations.
Reaotved. 4. That we hereby eranestly
and solmenly protest against the pro
posed demonstration, and urge those in
authority over us to use all lawful means
to protect this community In the enjoy
ment of that , peace and good order for
which •it has Illtherto been noted on the
Sabbath.
Resolved, 5. That a Comtnittee of twelve
be appointed to confer with the city an
thorities and also with the leaders of the
proposed demonstration, with a view to
having the same deferred, and the hope
that by -moral suasion, all trouble may
be avoided. ,
The report was accepted. ,
FURTHER REM ARNE.
Rev. J. S. Dickerson made a few re
marks upon the adoption of the resolu
tions. He did not consider the meeting
*amply a religious one, but a,. gathering
of citizens of all claws Who had
any luterest in morality. For this rea
son he favored a change in the First res
olution, so that this idea should be more
fully recognized. ; • •
Rev. A. R. Bell thouht the tine point
to
be taken was that t he demonstration
'talked' of <was a violation orthe law, and
upon this basis the whole question rested.
Mr. Cochran though: the religions as
well as i the civil aspects of the case
ehould be represented. He con
sidered the 'movement In prospect as
not only a ,violation of civil law, but a
gross violation of that higher law which
had been given from Sinai by GOd him
self.' He strongly protested in the name
of Religion against the, whole affair, and
thought the Influence of the religions
community shOuld be exerted especially
in the case.

On motion, a Committee of ministers
and laymen, with Rev., John B. Clark as
Chairman, was appointed to, prepare
resolutions expressive of the sense of the
meeting. 4
While the Committee. were preparing
their business, the President announce:al
that remarks would be in order. .
TEE QUESTION TotscUsshp.
Rev. Dr. John G. Brown was called
upon and responded briefly, contending
that the sanctity of the Sabbath in a
civil, aside from a religious sense, was
of the highest necessity to the prosperity
of the state, a fact which th history of
the past abundantly proved.
Rev. Dr. Wylie, ot Philo elphili, was
1
the next speaker. He said lit, bad been
his privilege to witness in the older
countries the manner in which the Sab
bath was obserVed, and h would' be
exceedingly pained to chi k that the
American Sabbath had deg nerated to
the standard maintainein Paris,
Berlin and *their prominent ontmental
cities. He spoke at some Igingth, and in
cl‘
clotiing argued upon all the duty -of
uniting firmly in the attempt to preserve
the sacredness of the day.
Prof. Sloan being called upon, spoke in
regard to the Continental Sabbath re
(erred to by the last speaker, and charac
terized the movement which was being
protested against, as one calculated to
bring about such a state of affairs. This
he.considered only the introduction of a
power which would ultimately destroy
all the safegnards of religion, and cense.
quentiv destroy the prosperity and civil
ization of the country. He conceded that
no one had a right to breadown the
institutions:of the country in his manner,
i
and every such attempt shou d be firmly
r
realsted. lie thought there
w ere laws of
the State which , if rightly , construed.
would forbid this wholesale desecration
of the Sabbath, and they should be rigid
ly enforced.
The President asked for an opinion on
this point from any legal , gentleman who
might be present.
K. S. Morrison, Esq., responded and
spoke for sometime, oontending that all
law was founded on the Bible, and that
the statutes on record not only indirectly,
bat directly, condemned any attempt to
destroy the peace and quiet of the Sab- I
bath.
Hon. &inert McKnight spoke on the
same point. 'He thought the law in the
case was sufficiently clear to prevent any
unnecessary noise, gathering or disorder
on. the Sabbath.' If the proceedings
proposed were, however, conduct.
ed in an orderly, quiet manner, then
possibly there might be a question as to
its legality on civil grounds, but not in
any moral sense. The gentleman was
interrupted in his remarks by the en
trance of the Committee_on Resolutions.
ItHE ItEeOLUTIONS.
The Chairman read the report, as fo
Iowa:
oAziftitti Itifit .2134 is, mit
thouget suMelent for the, legal aspect of
the case.
Rev. Wenzel, of the Cierman Evangel
ical Lutheran Church of Pittsburgh,
spoke briefly, in which he said it VMS a
Mistake to suppose that the German, pop
ulation of the vicinity were all in. favor
of the celebration of the Fourth in the
manner proposed. The largest majority
are opposed to it and would do all in their
power to prevent such a desecration. of
the Sabbath,
Aftera_OMA further remarks by Rev.
Samuel Laird and others, the resolutions
Were unanimoltaly adopted, and the fol
lowing gentleman were named as the
Committee provided for In them; Messrs.
Jame; Park, Jr., Thos, J. - Roskja_gon,
Louis Teal, Louis Him, Hon. Robert Mc-
Knight, F. Torrence, J. P. Fleming, J.-

Following the appointment of the Com
mittee, further remarks were made by
Rev: Mr. Bell, John S. Slagle, Esq. Rev.
Mr. Soovel and Mr. John B. Kennedy,
after which the meeting adjourned.
DIE TAVERN KEEPERS.
Meeting Yesterday—What They Propose
—Organization of an Association.
A second meeting of the brewers and
tavern keepers of the vicinity was held
yesterday afternoon, in Turner Hall,
Sixth avenue. There was a pretty full
representation of the trade present.
The meeting was called to order at
three o'clock by Mr..Heheiman, chair
man of the former meeting. He stated
what had been done on that occasion and
said the object of the present 7 B eeting
was to permanently organize an soda.
tion for the purpose designated.
The minutes of the preceeding meet
ing were then read by the Secretary
pro tern, Me. Walther, and,. approved.
The business of electing 'permanent
officers was next taken up.
Messrs. W. Holtzheimer, Frederick
Sprebear and James Lofink were nomi
nated for President. Mr. Holtzheimer
was eleoted by acclamation, but emphat
ically declined. The others withdrew
their names also.
After some further nominations, Mr.
Herpel was elected President, Mr.
Sneider Vice President, and Mr. Walther
Secretary.
The. Committee appointed at the last
meeting to prepare resolutions, pre
sented a lengthy report, recommending
the organization of the Association im
mediately, the members to bind them
selves faithfully to abide by and en
deavor to have enforced the laws rela
tive to the' observance of Sunday, and to
use all lawful means to prevent the
transaction of any peculiar, business on
the Sabbath. '
A lengthy- discussion followed, on a
motion to adopt the report, during
which an English tavern' keeper asked
for information in regard to the proceed
ings which were being conducted in
German.
This started a new difficulty, which
was finally compromised by the adoption
of the report, with an amendment pro
viding for the organization of two asso
ciations, one English and the other Ger
man, the business between them to be
conduisted by committees of conference.
The proper papers were then"prepared,
.and the names of those present attached
thereto, •after whfch - the meeting ad
journed.
Presbytery Heeling—New Church Or
ganlzatlon--The Hopewell Church
anthemlty—Union Endorsed. '
A meeting of the Ohlb Presbytery was
commenced Tuesday afternoon in the
pirst Presbyterian Church, Rev. S. F.
Scovel, pastor, which was brought to a
close yesterday, after the transaction of
some important business.
Rev. John Gillespie acted as Moderator.
A petition was received from the
members of Mount Pisgah Church
asking for recognition by the Prins
bytery. About fifteen ' years since
the Mount Pisgah Church building
was destroyed by fire and the members
were scattered, some of them going to
Mansfield And others attending city
churches. Attempts were made to re
organize but were not encouraged by the
Presbytery, who thought the location in
rather close proximity to other churches
on either slde. The parties interested,
however, persevered in their efforts,
and yesterday reported an organi
zation and a new church building.
The petition was accordingly received
and the prayer granted. •
A petitition was received from the se
ceding members of the Hopewell
Church, in relation to a division
of the property. Our readers are famil
iar with the difficulty, which is of old
standing. At the time of the difficulty a
similar application was made to the
members remaining with the Church.,
but it was refused. The petitioners
theiefore asked the Presbytery to enjoin
upon the opponents, a compliance with
their demands. The paper was laid on
the table with but little 'debate, the
Presbytery deeming the matter entirely
beyond its province.
The question of Union was brought
forward and the plan, as proposed, unan
imously endorsed. The Presbytery then
adjourned after the transaction of some
other routine business.

' A Good Invenuon.
We witnessed yesterday aj triiaoff a
new invention, in the way of a - patent
brake for the street can, of which Mr. C.
L. Irving, of Indianapolis, Indiana, is the
patentee. The trial took' place on the
Citizens Passenger Railway. The great
est labor to be permed by !street car
horses is starting heavily, loaded cars,
and the object of this brake IS' mainly
to lessen, if, not entirely avoid that,
while, at the same Ume, answer for
stoppingthe car. The brake isnot at all
complicated, but, : on the contrary, quite
simple,- and is so constructed that the ,
power used in stopping, the car, which is
the momentum, is also used in ! starting
it; or, to be more explicit, after the car
has been stopped, which can' be done
with a load of thirty parser a upon
it, in twice its length, there*:' is anfli.
dent power to start it again with the
satue load and cause It to run :twice its
length, after the brake is thrown off.
It is, estimated that the labor of the '
bones is diminished at least enetfurd
by this invention, and we think it worthy
the attention of street car companies. It
Will be more fully tested, we learn, in a
few days, when we wits give the result
in detail. " L

The Arsenal Band held a picnic at Iron
City Park yesterday, which it appears
was visited by a number of the ' , roughs"
and blackguards of the city, who make
it their business to attend all gatherings
jof that character where they can gain ad
mittance, for the sole purpose of creating
a disturbance. Lieutenant Irwin, whole
on duty in that district, anticipating some
difficulty, kept a strict survellanee over
the actions of the scoundrels, and cons*.
quently prevented the occurrence of any
serious difficulty. At one time during
the afternoon several parties got into a
fight, whereupon the Lieutenant finding
that his police force Nits not sufficient
should the fight become general, tele
graphed to the city for eight additional
men, who were sent out promptly, and
their arrival bad the effect desired, as
there was no more trouble during the
evening.
