THE SUNDAY -Qvßanos.
. . ,
Yesterday the, Con'onercial undertook
to enlighten 'the public as to the present
condition of the law relating to the ob
servance of Sunday. It quoted at some
length from'opinions . eipressed by Chief
Justice Lowniz in 1859, in pronouncing
the decision of the Court in a case that
went up from this county, wherein he,
with others, was charged with violating
Sunday by riding to church in his own
carriage. It also quoted still more largely
fmm opinions uttered by Judge READ,
when pronouncing the deciiion: of the
Court in 1867 in the Street Railway case
which went up from Philadelphia. Thei
opinions expressed by these Judges are not'
clirle, and quoting them ' as such only tends
, mislead citizens whol desire to be ac_,
ately informedi 1 .
What was decided in the case of 1859
was this, and no more, that citizens may
ride to church on Sunday in their own
carriages. What was decided in the case I
of 1867, was this, and no more, that rail
way corporations cannot be restrained by
injunction from running" cars on Sunday,
the true remedy being on the criminal
side of the Courts. I • ..
, ,
The opinions thrown out
,in reathing ,
these decisions were published at length
in ' -,ese columns , When delivered, not / as
law, but as showing; how judicial/ides
_
were being modified by the course of
events, and as showing what might possi
bly be the'ultimate position °idle Supreme
Court But it is manifest that if these
, alter dicta Shall at any time be transmu
ted into law, the statute' of 1794 - and
all other statutes, de ending an dbserv
ance of Sunday,wiirthereby lie absolutely;
repealed. There/Will thenceforward be
no legal obligation resting upcin I any, citi
zen to make an essential distinctfonlbe
tween days./
Bnt, the' Supreme Court, as at present
constituted, and as it l will be constituted
fur sonic years to come; will not be likely
to elevate the opinions of Judges Lowns,
and READ into the dignity and force of
Jaw. Judge LOWRIE delivered his opin
ion ten years ago, and vacated his seat
on the Supreme Bench soon after, butthe
Court has not maple an inch of progress
towards the adoption of his liberal views
of Sunday. Judge READ uttered' his
opinions two years ago, Judges AGNEW
and STRONG pointedly dissenting, even
going so far as to hold that the Court had
equity powers' sufficient to restrain rail
way corporations by injunction from vio- N ,
lating the Sunday laws. Not one - of the
Judges -gave token of sympathy`.; in the li
views enunciated by Judge READ.
..The Court is now composed of Chief
Justice Tuomrson,,and Associate Justices„,
AGNEW, READ, SUARBWOOD and WIL
LIAMS. We cannot be amiss in affirming
that of all these functionaries Judge
Bean would stead alone in giving the
effect of law to his opinions in the cae
of 1867. At the same term of Court in
1867, in a railway calm originating in this
city, the Court reached the same conelu
,
sign as to its equity powers thatit reached
in the Philadelphia case, but 'by an en
tirely different line of argumentation; and
this the Commercial, either on, purpose
or through ignorance, totally conceals.
, Whoever, therefore, ventures to violate
the Sunday laws on, ; the strength
of the opinions paraded by
• our
cotemporary ,and AIX be brOught;•
into court for the offense, must not exped,
that these opinions will deliver him front
the penalties prescribed by the statute of
1794; (r by any other statute.
It has-been our intention not to partici
pate in the discussion now progressing, of
the Sunday question, but 'a "local" ap.',
peered in these col'innu yesterday through,
misconception of our ins ructions by some
of our Bubordinates, :w ii • would not
have appeared had it passedqer our
observation. Much has, been 'urged,
on both sides, in a way and tein.,,
per not comporting with our 'ideas and
feelings. Perhaps, theological Centro•
versies are necessarily and always more
acrimonious than other disputations, being
condkicted with less reason and more
dogmatism—with less candor and manlier
nese and more violent appeals to passion
and: • 1 / 2 irejudice, than other kinds. If
so, the fact is greatly to be deplored. But
we could not remain silent under an ex
position of the laws wretchedly. Wee, in
fact, and hence calculated •to mislead
Whomsoever should put contidence in it:-

THE SABBATH QITESTIO
Mass Meeting at Lafayette Hall—Resolu
mug—The Mayor Called Upon to Issue
a Proclamation Forbidding the Dem
onstration. . '
Pursudnt to a call published in yester
day morning's GAZETTE inviting a mass
meeting of citizens, irrespective)af party,'
oreed,or nationality,to protest against the
proposed demonstration; by a portion of
the German citizens, on Sunday, July
4th, a: large number of our leadiag
citi
zens assembled` at Lafayette Hall last
evening to discuss the subject. The Hall
was tilled and the meeting was, although
very enthusiastic. quiet and orderly, and
the general tone of the speakers mild arid
conciliatory, with perhaps one or two
exceptions.
Tbenieetingwas organized by calling
Mr. Taalah Dickey to the Chair and the
'election of William M. Horman and the
reporters of the presses Secretaries.
The following named gentlemen were
elected as/Vice Presidents : James Mc-
Knight, Jno. P. Loy, W: R. Murphy,
Jas. Caldwell, Gen. S. Boyan, J. H.
Lippencott and Hugh M. Bole.
At the suggestlen of the Chairman, the
Secretary read the call' . for the meeting.
/Dr. C. King moved that a Committee
of three be appointed to prepare resolu
tions, expressive of the sense . ; of the
meeting.
The resolution' was adopted and the
Chair appointed Dr. Ring, J. H. Lippen
cott and Thos. Ewing, Esq.
Rev. Dr. Howard was called upon 'to
address the meeting during the absence
of the Committee, but declined.
' Rev. Dr. Dogglas was then called upon
and after stating that he had been in
fotined that this was to be a meeting of
the laity and ,that ministers were not
expected to take part in it; declined to
speak. 1 ,"
David. Reed, Esq., was next called upon
and' he likewise declined.
' The'chairman stated that it had been
charged that the clergy and church
blubbers' were overdoing the question;
that the masses had not an, opportunity
of being heard on the subject, and it was
for the purpose of having a free and fall
discussion by the-masses that the meet.
ing had been called.
Mr. Keeler, was next called upori, bat
_excused himself by calling
_upon some
one orthe legal gentlemen present to en
lighten the meeting as to the legalphasei
Of the question. /le desired to know
whether the proposed demonstrition
was in violation of a State law or only a
violation of a, usage or custom of this
particular locality. He thought there
bad beeh some decisions on the question
by the Supreme Court.
)dr. Reed was again called upon, and
again declined to address the meeting.
Ex-Mayor Little was then called upon
fora speech, but with no better success.
He had come to, hear and not to be
heard. •
•
REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE.
The Committee on Resolutions, at this
'juncture ofthe proceedings made their
appearance, and through Dr. King,
- Chairman of the Committee, submitted'
their report. Dr. King stated 'before
reading the, report, that a majority of the
Committeellad objected to the seventh
and ninth resolutions, but he, as chair-
Amu, favored them, and as he desired to
have them before the - ineeting he would
read them.
•
THE. RESOLUTIONS.
Resolved l. That as American citizens
—willing t h at our fellow-citizens, native
and foreign; shalt think for themselves,,
yet demanding that they shall not;`:tin
der any Pretence, encroach upon , our
sacred rights—we cherish our American'
Sabbath aseaered to us by law. and we
claim the protection .of the civil law.
against any publipperveraion of the day
to a secular holiday. \
2. That the announced and defiant de
termination of, a class among us to'cele-•
brate our National' Anniversary on that,
day, against the lond and earnest protes,
tations of this community, is an insult to.
'the founders of our Republic and a des- ,
ecration of the day they celebrate, no •
Jess than the Sabbath 'day; while it is,
a1i0, , , a shameful inroad tirion our moth
sacred Attierican tillage, , and such an in
troduction of foreign - customs as must
eventually didi ibr foreign 'despotism to
held them in cheek. '
3. That while the whole spirit and al*
of., the projected celebration on Sunday
next is 'most manifest In in violation of
the 'spirit or our Sunday laws, the an
nounced purptee to commit' no overt
transgreatacin is an ignoble attempt' to
violate the spirit of the laws so as to evade
its execution. It is a. set purpose to
trample upon the st4ietity of the day in a
way to escape the tales just penalty.
4. That the published. , programme. of
thlesecular 'celebration, without any pre
tence of ' - religious ceremony or service,
does,-int effect, ciaiM that -our Sunday
can be used for any teenier parade 'or
holiday and , strikes at the Sabbath as a
dal uf quiet worship and of public,rest.
If this Celebrationcan be • allowed, what
have we left!
5. That such a comblnationas is boast
fully advertised,, of filly seven societies CO
be, rtipiesented -in this celebration, is
chargeable' at law with a eimapiraey to
violate the statutes. which secure to us
I t_
the rig tof worship without molestation:
and we ledge ourselves to call for the
strict I vigorous enforcement , of the
law. ' - -
6. That the thronging of our streets by
thousands, avowedly for secular diver/non
and holiday celebration can not possibly
'be "quiet and ordo,ty," but especial
-with bands of music, as advertised. mutt
turn our cite into turmoil, and congre
gate the floating crowd AO as to effectual
ly debar peaceable - citizens from attend
lag their churches and children from at
tending their Babbatkichools, and, must
throw our quiet city into dangerous ex.
°Remind with all the elements of (Star.:
der and riot Molar midst. •
7.. That as American citizens, weloom.
ing.these men of other ands to eqnal
liberties with ourselves, under American
we:zsolemnly warn them that by
such a defiant inovatiott of our most as.
cred and timebonored rights, for which '
our fathers bled, and "Which the tag'.
of his country so emphatically proclaimed
and urged. • they mutt be reg*dad
deliberately declaring War—upon our
stitutions and aiming to ,destroy the
foundations of good order and of'public
morals, and we shall to constrained to
regard:and trest;them.as thapronmotced"
cltesdellottur *Tatty and of our ftbertise;
That as cozens of Pittibirgh aud •
o Pennsylvania, we call upon our public
men to take earnest, ground in defense.
`timid and`:
Sabbath rights, and we warn all
timid and truckling politiclana, whd are
afraid, to speak oukthat they may rather,
be afraid not to speak out, when our sa
cred privileges aa a lawobserving and
Sabbath-keeping people, are thus shame
fully-Set at nought. - -
9. That we would respectfully suggest
to our worthy . Mayor to issue his prod.
lsmation warning this unlawful combi
nation against the execution of their
published programme, as to bands , cit,
muslc, and as?to violation of the public
`"peace of the Sabbath, and in the spirit of,
the City Council, and of the Grand Atm
and of , the publto sentiment, so Waal?
eltPresiledi _to urge their observance of
our National Anniversary along j with
their fellow-citizens on Monday.
Dr. King spoke of some length in fa
vor of the resolutions. He held that th,2 3
proposed demonstration was only another
phase of 'the Sunday beer question, i and
that if These gateways to :hell—the l beer
saloons—had not been closed by law,
there would have . been no demonstra
tion on the Fourth of July.
Mr. Ewtng was called upon and ad
dresSed the meeting on the resolutions,
He thought the resolutions needed no
discussion. The entire commtuilty knew
what was meant by an observance of the
Sabbath as contemplated by the laws of
the land and customs of our people. He
thought the better classes of the Ger
mans were opposed to the deinonstratlon,
and hoped that the meeting would be
mild in its tone. •
°Mr. Bole volunteered a few remark;
in the course of,which he offered an ex
cuse for the ministers not taking an ac
tive part in the ;proceedings, as they did
not want to make targets of themselVes
for the "penny-a-liners." He was in favor
of flanking, the Germans if'they could
not be persuaded. He thought the bridge
companies could stop them frotn crossing.
Rev. Mr. Menzell was called upon and
made a briefl but decidedly forcible ad
dress. He represented the better classes
of Germans and did not like to haike his
people mixed up with those who pro
posed to desecrate the Christian Sabbath
by a public demonstration. He said that
the greikt masses of the German popula
tion were opposed to the demonstration,
and he thought the matter had been
projected by one man.
Mr. Reese desired, in behalf of the -
Welsh citizens whom he represented, to
enter a solemn protest against the pro
posed desecration of the Christian 'Sab
bath. 1
Mr. Thomas Douglas, from Ottawa,
made a few remarks in regard to the pro
posed demonstration. He said that the
very men who lied framed the Declara
tion of Independence, the anniversary of
which these men propose to celebrate,
had called upon God to sanction their
work, that God whosaid "six days shalt
thou labor, .t.c."
At the close of Mr. Douglass' remarks
the resolutions were adopted by a unani
mous vote. I
Rev. Mr. Di
Ackerson, in response; to a
call from the Meeting, made a brief but
forcible and argumentative address,
which was received With applause bycthe
audience.
The meeting then adjourned. . .
