INCOME TAX.
The infOimation at the Internal Rev-,

encouraging character, so far as the col

appears that Assessors and Collectors

of gentlemen, who find that they now

counted by thousands. I

ECCLESIASTICAL COURT.
tßy Telegraph to the Tlttsburgh Gazette.)
CHICAGO, July 21.-The trial by an Ec
cleidastical Court of Rev. Charles FAward
Cheney, Rector of Christ Episcopal
Church, for alleged unauthorized omis
sion in the baptismal rite for children,
was commenced at ten o'clock this morn
ing, in the Cathedral of Saints Peter and
Paul, corner of Vielit Washington and
Peoria streets. The case has excited a.
high degree of attention all over the
country, as involving very important
principles of church polity as well as
spiritual liberty, and in the principles
involved in the issue it is regarded with
even more interest, than the •famous
Tyng trial. The specific charge against
Mr. Cheney is, that in the baptisnial rite
he omits the word "regenerate."
At the hour named for the commence
ment of the trial the Cathedral was
nearly filled, mostly by ladiee ' who
seemed to taken lively interest in the is
sue: The Board of Assessors, who were
invited by Bishop Whitehouse, and will
receive the testimony and decide the
case, are: Rev. Dr. Chase, of Jubilee
College, Rev. Dr. Pierce, of Springfield,
Rev. T. W. Benedict, of Robin's Nest,
Rev. J. Benson, of Peru, Rev. A. W.
Snyder, of Chicago. Hon.. L. B. Otis
acts as counsel for the presentors, and
lion. M. W. Faller, assisted by Messrs.
M. B. Rich and George W. Thompson,
defends Mr. Cheney. Rev. Dr. Chase
presides. Bishop Whitehouse occupes
a chair in , the aisle of the Cathedral,
where he can command a view of the
whole court. He takes no part in its
proceedings.
After prayers, Judge Otis said the
Court was organized.
Mr. Cheney said: My advocates 'are
Messrs. Fuller, Thompson and Rich.
Mr. Chase then stated that the qual
ifications of advocates would be that chi y
were communicants of the church. Coun
sel were declared thus qualified. /
• Judge Otis then read the presentment.
It is quite a long document. /The
charges are :
First-Violation of article Bth of the
Constitution of the Protestant Episcopal,
Church, which provides, in substance,;
that a-book of common prayer; adriliDis•
tration of the sacraments, and other cer
emonies, when established by the gener
al convention, shall be used in the Prot
estant EoiscopalChurch,in'those Dioceses
which shall have adopted said Constitu
tion. No alteration shall be made in the
hOok of common prayer, or other offices
of the church, unless the same shall be
preposed in one general convention, and
by a resolve thereof made known to the
convention of every diocese, and aeopted
as the subeemaent general convention:
and it is averred that the general rein
vention of. said Church has established
and set forth a book of common prayer,
administration of thesacrarnent, and oth
er rules and ceremonies of the :Church,
to wit, in the year 1789; and it is also
averred that the Diocese of Illinois has
acceded to and-adoptea said Consears titution,
to wit, more than thirty y prior to
this date.
Seeond--Violation of his engagement
to conform to the doctrines and worship
of the Protestant Episcopal Church in
the United States. cootaii.ed in the de
claration which was subscribed by him
before and as an absolute condition pre
liminary to his ordination as a minister
in said Church, as prescribed and set
forth in article seveerof the Constitution,
adopted in generarnonvention of said
Church, and which declaration is as fol
lows: *4 do believe the Holy Scriptures
of the Old and New Testaments to be the
-Word of. God, and d, 3 contain all things
necessary to salvatio , and do solemnly
engage to conform to the doctrines and
worship of the rotestant Episcopal
Church in the United States."
Third-Violation - .of the solemn
promise and vow made by him at his
ordination, which was in substance as
you tllowhen g s: eQ
ive uestio
your n by the Bishop -Will
faithful diligence
always so to minister the doctrines and
the discipline of Christ as the Lord hath
commanded, and as this church bath re

mandments of God, si that you may
teach the people committed to your care
and 'charge with all diligence to'keop
and observe the' same?" ...Analver-.1
will do so by the help of the Lord."
Each of these charges, is supported by
three specifications.
Mr. Thompson then addressed the
Presidinti m ent, and said as the paper present
ed is ately connected with tha case,
he would like time to look over it. Eie
had objections to offer to it. In the meal:L
OD:id he would ask if the eight commis
stoners were present. lie desired that
the trial would be conducted impartially
and he wanted to examine the commis-
Wooers upon the point, t, .
- President Chaim • said 'he understood'
the idea of the gentleman. As the objec
tion came outside of the capon, it would
not be listened to.
Mr. Fuller said his associate presented
no objection. He merely desired to
know if they , would be exernined.. Inas.
much as the presiding officer has or
dered against thetbaatter, be would file
a written protest to this objection. It
was of the utmost,inaportatm that, the
tribunal tnak.tries tan should be lower.

Ipresentment herein, m respect to the
formation or expression by • either of
them of an opinion as to the guilt or in
\
nocance of the accused in the promisee.
Or/hist—Because the said Rev. A. W.
Snyder has formed and expressed the
opinion that the accused is guilty in the
premises, and he.is, therefore, incompe
tent to sit as an assessor on the trial of
said alleged presentment.
"Fourth—Because no list of eight Pres
byters qualified to sit upon the trial of
said presentment has been furnished to
accused, out of which to select assessors,
as by canon provided.
"For which several reasons, one or 1
some Of themthe accused insist that '
the said.Rev.,SonsuerChase. LID.. s
Rev.
Thomas W. Benedict, Rev.'John Benson,
Rai. Henry N. Pierce, D.D., and Rev..,
A. W. Snyder ought not to act as asses-
sors, constituting a courtin the premises. I
and cannot lawfully proceed so to do." I
Mr. Fuller went on to say: Bafore ,
proceeding further they should find by ,
what principles, and rules such a trial
should be carried on. In the trial of aI,
Bishop the rules of common law should I
obtain, and such from analogy should be
the cane with a Presbyter. In ' the trial of
Bishop Onderdonk, Bishop Hopkins
gave in extenso his views why the prin
ciples of 'common law should be brought
in. /
Alf. Fuller then read from the °Jailer
donk trial the opinion of Bishop Hop
ktfts: "The right of challenge is a com
mon law practice, particularly for cause.
(t is the same in military courts, in the
largest and most liberal manner. In the
Common law challenges were of two
kinds."
Mr. Fuller then went on to show the
number of challenges allowed. There
were four kinds, of which that. of chal
lenges by reason of hisa or prejudice was
one; peremptory challenges were allow.
ed that' the accused might throw out
against hi Mr. he
Fuller said: Now ex
amine the canon. There is nothing that
cuts the Bawled off fro this right.
These points Mr. Fuller m
presented at
some length.
Judge Otis replied that the right of
challenge was a great right; but th,s was
a special court, provided by the canon,
and must be governed by common law.
Flis answer to claim of the riht of
challenge is, that tne
tho church has ••
g made
no rovision for this, and they did not
dare toestablish a precedent. The clergy
men are competent to try their peers.
The Principle of the common law has not
been introduced into ecclesiastical exam
inations, but after the Court is organized
it shall be conducted according to the
rules of common law.
Mr. Thompson read from the canon
the manner in which the accused can be
presented for trial, and said the present
ment did not come under any of the
weys in which a minister should be pre
sented—first, the presentment of a major
ity of the. vestry; second, from three
presbyters: or third. from public rumor.
Ile went on further to show that the pre
-sentrnent was informal and not legal.
Judge Otis replied briefly, that the
Bishop did not inform them under which
one of the methods the commission was
given, and to them it was no matter.
The Court then adjourned until half
past two o'clock this afternoon. •
The trial was resumed at half peat two
o'clock.
Mr. Thompson presented exceptions to
the comcnission appointi rig the presenters
to prefer charges. These exceptions
were argued and !paroled.
Mr. Fuller then presented exceptions
to the citation and ,presentment. _These
were also argued and overruled.
Mr. Fuller then' made a motion. based
on the exceptions, in the nature of a Imo.
tion .to quash •the presentment, his
grounds for so doing, being, First, That
they lacked precision as to time. place and
circumstances; Second. That in view of
the canon they charge no offence or mis
conduct for which the accused was lia
ble to be tried; Third, That if it is a pre
sentment, it is found upon an imputation
arising from public , rumor. and that the ,
charges are under section first of article
thirty-seven. general canon, which does
not provide for open presentment. based
upon public rumor, but on complaint of
three presbyters, or a majority of the
veetryt Fourth. That the specifications
enlarge the charges, they being an alter
ation of the prayer bolt, while the speci
fications show no such' alteration, , but
only the omission of a word in the office
of the administrAtion of the offices and
rites., of the
_Church. These objections
were argued at considerable length end
held over for advisement; .
Adjourned until ten o'clock to-morrow.

LONDON, y 2L—ln the. House of
Commons last evening, William Johp•
son, member for Belfast, complained of,
the conduct of the police in the recent
anniversary. He said there had been a
rigid enforcement of the party proces
sions act in Ulster, while it had been sys
tematically violated in the. south or Ire
land.
Right Hon. Chichester Fortesque, the
Chief Secretary for Ireland, praised the
forbearance and order exhibited on that
occasion, through the precautions taken
by the GoVernment. He hoped, hoW
ever,that the observance of the 12th of
July would soon discontinue throughout
the land.
John Vance, member for Armagh,
urged the repeal of the party processions
act
In the House of Lords. last night, the
Irish Church bill, .as returned from the
House of Commons, was taken up.
Earl 'Granville complimented the
House of Lords on the ability and states
manship developed .in the late debate,
and the moderation shown by thii oppo
sition towards • its close. The Govern
ment thought some of their amend
ments were good, some had, and
others quite inadmissible. He did
not consider the House of Com
mons had dealt supeliously • or
contemptuously with merm,cil/ for out of
sixty amendments only thirteen had
been absolutely rejected. He analized
the amendmeots having the effect to re
endow what tbe bill intended to awn- .
dow, and mid concurrent endowmefit,
notwithstanding the ability with which
it had been supported, the Government
wan obliged to conaider a breach of faith
with their ermstiments, while an over
whelming msjority of the House of Com
mons and public opinion were opposed
to it. In rizemem to the disposal of the
surplus fund, the more he saw and heard
the more he was convinced that it was
disadvantageous to keep the question
ooen, and he contended the proposal to
keep three millions dangling before the
people would excite and stimulate agita
tion. He urged the House not to adnere
to this amendment,. and. proposed the re-
InSertien el thetworfie *ruck out of the
preamble of the oieginarbill. •
Lord Cairns com Plained in strong
terms that the Government had not ad
hered to Earl Granville'a pledges, that
the Lords' amendnientswonid be respeot
fully considered, fcir on the faith of this
promise many who objected to the bill
MI its own merits, were induced to vote
for a second reading. Mr. Gladstone
had used language unworthy of himself
and of his position. He contended that
of the amendments which had been re
jected, all except two had been disposed
of without the slightest consideration.
The modifications made in the other
amendments were utterly illusory and
unsatistactory. He hoped the House
would insist on the reservation of the
surplus for future disposition, and on the
amendments with respect to curates and
commutation of life interests. The re
maining amendments, being of minor
importance, they might give lip, in order
not to provoke needlessly a collision be
tween the two Houses.
Earl Kimberly said the Government
could not give way. ,
Earl Grey thought the words of the
on preamble were offensive to ; the
religions majority of Ireland, and urged
the Government to concur in the arueud-
meut. If the bill fell on account of its i l
refusal to yield this point, it would be 1
the fault of the Government. ;
Lords Halifax, Claney, Carde and
Shaftesbury tilipported the government.
Earl Hui sell favored disestablishment
ii
and disendowment, subject to existing
rights. e thought the words in the
preambl unnecessary. and impolitic. If
the real Meet of the hill was to be de
clared. it suould state that, the, decision
of the last election was against church
disentablishment, those of England and
Scotland as well as that of Ireland, and
the existence of the Irish Church ought
to be madet n direct issue. tie
believed the preamble was capabte
of any interpretation. lie thought
the grant of glebea to all denom
-1 inations was the wisest plan for estab
lishihg religious equality. He declared
teat he would feel obliged to vote against
the Government on the question of the
preamble. ShOuld the bill fail to pass,
the Gevernment would only have itself
to blame. He thought they ought to re•
ciprocate the conciliatory, disposition
manifested by Lord Cairns.
The Duke of argyle denied that the
governMent desiredto provoke a roll's.
-ton between the Hoses, of Parliament.
He denounced concurrent endowment
anddefended the ploVildonis of the bill
u not only just, but generous.

ble, with the following result: For tbe
motion 95, against it 178—majority
against the Government 78.
Earl Granville moved an adjourn
ment, in order that he might consult his
colleagues', and at a late hour the House
adjourned.
A. short time after the division against
the Government in the House of Lords
had been declared, Mr. Gladstone entered
the House of Commons. His appearance
was the signal for a remarkable outburst
of enthusiasm. Cheer after cheer came
from the Liberal side of the House, and
the business of the session was entirely
suspended. It was settle minutes before
the excittnnent subsided and the House
resumed its prOceeilings.
The press to-day is occupied with the
subject of the vote in the House of Lords.
The Times is satisfied the bill may i
carried this session,ll the principal
agents on both sides divest, themselves of
the passions and prejodic by which
they are inflamed. The imminent peril
is that the beat of party will be carried
into the Cabinet, and a hasty resolution'
be taken to defer progress on the bill
until another session, to the distraction
of the country and the immeasurable
peril of ; tho Church. -
The Star says the Lords have rushed
l i upon the certain couseouencen of defy
ing the national will. The divisibn of
I last night has revealed the spirit in
,'which the bill has been opposed from
I the first.
The Telegraph thinks the Lords have
I virtually settled the fate of the bill for
this session of Parliament. A. new bill
will be presented, more stringent in form,
and it must be accepted. If anything
was needed to damage the Church and
arouse the country to passionate resist
, ance, the reckless debate of yesterday
has furnished it. The country lies reached
a great crisis. The nature of the course
which the Ministers should adopt admits
of no doubt.
The News considers the country in the
midst of a constitutional crisis. The
,
I l Lords, giving full swing to their reckless
impulses,have rushed into collision
I with the overnment. the Commons and
the country. The duties, and responsi
bilities of the situation should be
weighed by the Minister with the calm
ness and confidence , of a , man
sure of -an ultimate and speedy
1 1 victory. The bill, when presented
, at the autumn session, will become a law
with great spend. The Lords will not
require the threat of the creation of new
Peers to lead them to assent to a more
stringent measure. They will not be
allowed to oppose themselves a third
time to the will of the nation. Tho
country must decide whether an irre
sonsible debating society is to be al
towed to interpose between it and its de
liberate purposes and convictions con
stitutionally expressed. ,
In the House of Commons to-night
there was a full attendance of meMbers.
A. petition praying for the rejection of
amendments to the Irish Church bill was
presented and received with loud cheers.
Mr. Milbank t meinber for North Rid
ing of Yorkshire,' waited - to kterfr if- it
was competent for this. House to demand
an apology from the House of Peers for
the language used by their Lordships, in
solent.to the Premier , and insulting to
the dignity of the House of Comnions.
The Speaker declared that the, question
Wits neither a point of order nor one of
privilege. This House was not cognizant
of what passed in the House of ',add.
and he decided that the question' could
not be enfei tabled. /
Meetings in favor of the disestablish
went of the Irish Churdh continue to be
held in various parts of the country.
In the case of Bishpri COlensi, of Natal,
OA Privy Council' has decided he has a
full right to the Cathedral at Pietro
ma.ritzburg, and / is altogether free from

mored to night that Mr. Gladstone will
