It has been the custom since the founda tion of our municipal government to meet for the purpose of organizing on the Tuesday following. the third Friday in March, but several lawyers having signed an opinion stating that nu organi zation ut this time under the new city charter would mrt he strictly In accordance with law, the members deferred their annual meeting, until the evening of the second Tuesday lo April, which will oleo be the first stated meeting of the new Councils. We are thus deprived of the legislative portion of the city government, and If anything Important should occur in the meantime to de.- mend Immediate action wo would be in a deplora ble •sitnation.

If au organization this year, effected on the first Tuesday after the third Friday lu March would be Illegal, then the,pro ceding Councils under the city charter 'Were not organized legally, it would boa wise precaution to prevent trouble by rushing the Legislature to legalize all nets of Councils of provionsyears and, also, to have sortie legislation which will distinctly state when the unnuml lorolings of CnoncilP ore to by held.

THE THEATILE.—A subscriber send:, us the following, token from the Southern Churchman, with the request that we publisibit. It may throw some new light upon the subject which was FO thoroughly discussed sums time ago : Hr. Editor s—A respectable subscriber desires Information upon the subject of theatrical per formances. Wherein consists the inconsistency and danger, and sin, of frequenting the exhibitions of the drama I Doco holy Scripture positively condemn such practices I A discussion of the whole subject would be very edifying and instruc tive to— One who desires to do Olaf to right and in accord once with God's /am We must not expect Iloly Scripture to condemn ht words all sins. If it did "the world itself would not.r,:ntain the books that would be written." It doe:, not in words condemn gambling, ors ulclile, or arson, or ten thousand oilier avroug and vices; hut the spirit of the Bible is to opp ositiou to them. Even as it Is to the vices that are inseparable from the theatre. Doubtless we might imagine a theatre free from evil; but Gil:: is the Ideal theatre with which we have nothing to do. The only theatre that concerns us is the actual one, as we see it in London, in Berlin, in Paris, In Now York, and wherever It has existence. Now about this actual theatre, the thc . atro, not as It might he, but as it always Is, our correspondent would do well to re flect, In some sort as follows : 1. The theatre has always been condemned by the Church. An English writer made a catalogue of authorities against the stage, and ascertained that no less than fifty-four councils of the Church,. ancieut and. modern, have protested against it with seventy-one ancient fathers, and nearly every Christian writer who has written. on the subject. Now when a Christian matt finds himself ht op position to such testimony as this, he has great . reason to fear he must be mistaken. The Church surely ought to have great weight with Its mem bers on questions that relate to morals. w. Not only have the Church and Christian writers ever protested against the tendency of the theatre, but others have done the same ; heathens and infidels as well as Christians. A learned judge in England In a charge to the grand jury said: "One piny-house ruts more souls than fifty Churches can rave.'' Ovid, and Tacitus, and Plato, and Seneca protested against It, though in their day no female was permitted *to play in public. The Infidel Rousseau said: " You have .• •• to do with moralists here; this is not the Plat— in which to learn it; the stage was not • erected for the promulgation of truth, but to flatter and 'muse." Where would be the prudent I mother who would dare to carry her daughter to this dangerous school? and what respectable woman would not think herself dishonored by go log there 7 And as one of our laid writers says: "It is significant that a French Society recently offered a prize for the best essay in answer to the question, "Why are most modern dramas founded on the dishonor of woman, and what effect do they have on. the COllllOlll2 public?" "Not one of my young friends," said Amos Lawrence, "was the bettor for going to theatre, and most of them tire relied." Archbishop 'Tillotson culled the play-house " the Devil's chapel," and did not sere how any person pretending to sobriety and virtue, and especially to the pure and holy religion of our blessed Saviour, can without great guilt and open coutratliction to his holy professiott be pres ent." With such testimony from Christiana and heathens, front infidels and men of the world, We have a powerful presumptive argument itgaiti-t the theatre that ought to have great weight. We have rend In our 'English papers within the last year or t wo, that the tendencies of the Play-lionse tend downwards. The plays •of Shakespeare empty a theatre. Nl:magma aro forced, if they would shun bankrupley, to carter to the public taste, and that taste le vitiated. The • " Black Crook,'' the "White Fawn," plays which no modest man or woman could behold without a blush, are those to which the crowd goes. Other plays, where God is dishonored, religion disgraced, domestic purity is at ; where vice le made agreeable, anti half-naked woman exhibit. them selves; these are the plays that the public not only wants, but whichlt gets. Is such aplace fit for a decent, much less It Christian man 7 ' 1. Of actors we know nothing personally.

A FEW days ago two of Easton's noted capi talists—and, by the way, lovers or floe home, noticed In a New York paper that a .handsome horse would bo cold on a certain date at one of •the sale•stablos In that city. Each of three gen tlemen determined to possess the noble animal, and with visions of fast trotters and dashing turmouts, started for New York to make the pur chase ; ono of them with $5OO and the other with $6OO, which 11111011114 it was supposed would "sweep the stakes." As luck would have it both started on the same train, but with that . business' shrewdness for which each is noted, the object of their visit to the greet metropolis was 'carefully concealed front each other. Arriving in New r,,trk they separated, only to find themselves again side-by-side, a few hours after, In the sale stable. The noble creature was trotted out, and the two capitalists winked ateach other—as mach as to say, the 46 hoes" Is mine ; the auctioneer cried out, " what's bid ?" The reply from is dis bud, corner was $3,5001 The two capitalists looked at each other, and winked, again—they smiled—they waited until the horse was run tip to $:1,000; they left, and smiled 'again at the Mer chant's, and finally came home considerably crest fallen.

Issmtnxcta Env.—The New York Free Press has the following editorial remarks on a subject of vast linportanect—A recent life In surance ease In one of our courts adds force to the warning we have given In relation to invest ments In such Institutions. In no trust is the reSpollbibllity 60 entire, or the duty of righteously regarding it more sacred, than that which promi sea profit on an investment against a time of mis fortune. This is the promise given by every bank for savings, by every insurance against loss by fire or accident at sea, and, If possible, it Is even inure sacred when, taking the money of husband and father, it promises relief to Ids kindred in ease of his sickness and death. And yet, in the face of this sacred responsibility, and after• having for years received money, paid only on faith lathe fulfilment of the promise, we have mamthoth In surance establishments endeavoring to cheat the widow of her sole reliance, Mid her children of What has been paid to insure their support. The dmuthd now is, and it is it Just one, that every policy upon which the requirement shall have been paid must be honored on proof of death, and that without cost or undue delay to those entitled to receive the amount tor which the life was in sured. The demand should he recognized even if there were no Institutions showing desire to shirk their responsibility. lint when we learn through the courts that an insurance company declines to pay because the insured was diseased before death, the demand becomes imperative, and unneeded delay a sin. It is well known by all who give attention to existing conditions that the securities in which a vast amount of the money pnil for fire insurance has been invested has not tended to In- Crease safety do the recovery of loss. It is also well known that, in rivalry with each other, the life eollllllllllei have pail heaVy premi ums to all who bring them lire-, Ihat they have in their atgrrne l; for lengthening their list of pulley-folder, been circles.; In their (.X11001111(10116 marl 11(111. they have expended the money of the insured In the construction of vast buildings, not as security against loss, but simply as a gorgeous advertisement to induce more lives to route In. In all these efforts there le a.very grave suspicion . that over-anxiety for business has Noised the reckless taking of many improper risks, and the unseemly efforts now being made to avoid respon sibilities after having pocketed the money for them, gives that suspicion all the power of fact. TIIEEC TERPEAN ENTERTAINMENT, Fr'tlay e‘ e.iing, was attended by an immense audience. Everybody present eppenrcd to be well pleased and the Enterpeani have just cause to be proud of their success In getting up an acceptable enter tainment and In knowing that they have given such general satisfaction to their friends who have conic forward with one accord to lend their assistance In promoting the object for which the Society has labored. It Is evident that our citi zens appreciate the good influence or the College upon the educatidnal interests of our city, and that they are liberal enough to aid the students. In every good work. Of course, they received a Just compensation for their money, but the lin pul,e remains the same.

Webrhehn, No. 5, John Thomas, Charles Engles, Peter henry, No. 8, and Thomas Mow bray, No. 44, to endeavor to reach our destination. We left Philadelphia In the 1:45 train of the N. P. R.

There we found a four horse sleigh walling to convey us to the .Cross Keys lintel, the hostelrie provided for us by the brothers of Allentown. After a very pleasant talk with our new found brothers, and enjoying a splendid supper, we, at 7j o'clock, adjourned to Pairs halt , for the purpose 'of increasing the benefits of the 11.

MARCH 29 187 L THE ORGANIZATION„ Oy CtTy COUNCILS.— The following opinion' r. this subject Clem Mr. Runk will be read with Interest:— • MESSRS. EPIIIIAIM GRIM AND NELSON WEISER. ...—Lactitlemen :—ln compliance with your request, I state my reason for saying to you when called on last week, that Tuesday last was the proper time for the organization of City Councils. 1. It is clear, from the 4th section of the City Charter, that the term of office of the members of Connell, commences and ends immediately after the third Friday fit March, that day having' been the time for their election. The late act changing the time of election to October, expressly provides that h. term of nniee shall lint be eintngni. 2. .1 t i e ChM ter WHIMS nn time for the organiza tion of Councils, hence they hnre the power to that pnrprwent nay ',lent lime after their term commences. 3. The Charier ,p e:its. ' `i , or meet legs only. The via-, In the ith section, Is the " amnia! nwri Tln• al • elass, in the Bth section, is till. "SlSllsi 1.1 This stated meeting is to be hell an III: Tuesday of each month, and , un,eh oftener as shall be pro vided by the Online s ees, ion! Is far the tratametion of business generally. Under this section Conn- CIN may, if they choose, provide for holding stated meetings each week or oftener. The annual mcellu¢ van occur nnly once in the year, and has 0 specified Into assigned it, which Councils are require:l to perform at their "first" annual leveling, and at every other annual meet ing, viz : To choose a City Treasurer by a Joint vote taken viva voce. This annual meeting, has heretofore been held on the Tuesday evening after the third Friday in March, both under the present Charter and front time Immemorial under the Borough Charter, a usage in itself sufficient to Ow It the force of law. The fifth section of the Charter.provldes .that each branch of Councils shall annually choose one of its members to preside at their deliberations. These presiding. officers were oleeted a year ago, and their teim has now expired. They are an essential clement In conducting sonic of the most Important and delicate business transactions of the clty, without whose aid great I neanven hence, if not detrlinerit, must ensue. These considerations lead tne to repeat what I said to you, that Tuesday was the proper time for organizing the new Councils. Allow me to add, it Is the imperative duty of Councils, witho vatting for the seeond Tuesday of April, to me and organize at the earliest practicable day. You will observe I have based my views entirely upon the preFent City Charter and the usage? of Councils. But besides thi,; the general Borough law pro video in its third section, "That It shall he the duty of the Corporate officers, (Town Council,) a majority of whom shall be a quorum 'to meet statediy at least once et month, and within ten dime after the election of any Corporate officer." Title provision has not been supplied nor repealed by the City Charter, and is ns binding today upon the present Connell as it was upon the Borough Council. Very respeelfully, C. M. limn. A LLUNTOIV , March :25, 1871. We agree with the conclusion above arrived A. Bridges, C. W. Cooper, Ell,ha Forrest, J. S. Dillinger, F. A. R. Baldwin, Thos. B. Metz her, C.J. Erdman, Gen. K. EVIL nn, W. D. Luck- F.. I:. Schwartz. =9 LLENTIIII'N, Mnreh 97, 1871 John A. Hoffman, Esq., Dear Sir—Having given the opinion that the new City Councils could not legally meet for or ganization and the transaction of other business until the second Tuesday of April, I feel It due to myself and those wyto concurred with me Int hat opinion that I should state my reasons therefor more fully, and especially so as C. M. Runk, Esq., and several lagal gentlemen who concur with him, have thought proper In controvert that opinion and publish ti t& reasons for (Hireling. All will agree that Councils are the creature of the City Charter.. They have no powers other than those giventhem by that Instrument. The charter fixes their regular monthly meetings on the second Tuesday of each month. Old Councils meet on the second Tuesday of March. New Councils meet nn the second Tuesday of April following in each year. Ought new Councils to meet earlier than the next regular meeting I Does the charter authcrize an earlier meeting of new Councils and for what purpose I A careful examination of that instrument Will reveal the fart that no earlier day after the third Friday In March, II named than the second Tuesday of April. And it will also be found that it nowhere provides that new Councils shalt meet to organize before the next regular monthly meeting. after the third Friday in March. These are positive, existing facts, and in this argument must be squarely Oct. It will not suffice' to dodge around them. Argument that Councils ought to organize sooner or that it would be better to organize sooner, or that the City Gov ernment might be embarrassed if uo organization Is effected ninth the second Tuesday of April, will not do. It does not meet the rase. Have City Councils the authority to meet sooner? What section or clause of the charter authorizes It I . Such authority I apprehend will be searched for in vain. But it is said " the charter names no time, hence Councils may organize at any time." Now, Is this logic? Is it law? Is It reasonable or safe? 'doubt whether It was ever beforcheard that the absence of authority was held to be proof of its existence. Without ttrgument the proposi tion trill everywhere be recognized as "false logic." And It Is only contended that It Is tato by "Immemorial usage." It scents only necessary to refer to the fact that City Councils have not existed long enough to establish " Immemorial usages" even If It were admitted that the doctrine of customs obtains In such:eases, which Is denied. These bodies were legislated Into existence only four years ago by the enactment of the City Charter. This is not long enough to establish a governing custom or "Immemorial usage." What does " immemorial usage" mean I Web ster dollars " Immemorial" ns " Beyond memory, whose beginning is not remembered or eantot be traced Ind ascertained." how does this apply to City Councils less than fottr years old 1 It will thus be seen that such lato will not stand the teat of scrutiny a moment. To admit the correctness of this extraordinary proposition would be to give loose reins to the organization of these important bodies. The clerk of one branch might call them together and fix a day of meeting, or an hourond place dlßerent from theclerk of the other brooch and the President of each branch of the preceding Councils, if re-elected, might think it 1118 espe cial duty to convene Councils and ouch name a still different time and place . of meeting, or a can e Is of either or both political parties might name still different time and place. Such possible confusion Is an emphatic , cemicmnation of the and stamps It as unsafe, unreasonable, inposslble both In doctrine and practice. Ilut IL is also eald the City Charter provides for two'classes of meetings." . The awned tneetiug nod the dated ;needing. Now let us exatnlne this. ,Sectlua 7 provides that " Cannella shall at their first annual nmeting elect a city treasurer to nerve Mr one year" but that charter nowhere provides that this "first annual meeting" shall be other than the first regular monthly meeting after the third Friday In March. (The expression "first animal meeting" Is questionable English. .The flrd meeting annually is bettei.) And why shall not the first meetings of Councils annually be held then I Is there anything in the City Charter In c iml,tent with tiltl • Or does It require anything to he done by Councils earlier? I can find noth ing. Had the 'charter in terms mimed the first regular or stated monthly meeting after the third Friday In March as the "first meeting annually,. It would read•consislentiy and would be thought tight and regular. Now us the second Tuesday of . April is the first meeting named In the charter after the third ,Frlday In Morel], does it not follow Irroslstable that that is the "drat Meeting annu ally" tender that charter f As no earlier day Is provided for in that instrument, it la very clear in the "eye of the law" that an earlier day was not deemed necessary by the legislature which passed It. Otherwise we should have the unreasonable proposition presented of a legislature carefully fixing In it city charter a day for the stated monthly meetings of Councils but omitting en tirely to fix the "annual meeting" by far the most important meeting of the year. But why should an caries meeting be provided for. The t „„, of t h e old Councils expired after the third Friday In March. The new Councils aro re quired to meet for the transaction of business three weeks later, (second Tuesday of April.) It this not soon enough 1 The legislature of Pennsylva nia Is elected on the second Tuesday of Octobe;, yet that body does not meet to transact business or organize until the first Tuesday, of January, three months later. Is it because the legislation of our City Conaclisforour Clly. Government le neowl!np.iitinit Ihvit , lLiiL , liy tun Stale Legislature for our State Government Havit ever been known that our State Interests suffered because the State Legislature remained unorgan ized from October until January 1 I think not. Neither can our city interests suffer In any possi ble way by Councils remaining unorganized for three weeks. As a member of Council I feel con fident that we shall still have ample time to do all the good we are capable of doing and possibly to do more harm than we ought or Intend to be the authors of. Again It Is said that section 3 of the old Borough Charter Is still in force which provides " That it shun be the duty of the corporate officers to meet etatedly at least once a month and within tee days after the election of any corporals officer." Section 10 sr the now or City Charter provides "That all laws rot hereby altered or supplied shall be and remain in furco in said city." Now, Is it true that section 3 before quoted is In force 7 Not if it is altered or supplied by the city charter. Let us turn to section 8 of that instrument. That section provides thus—" The dated meeting of Select and Common Councils shall be holden for the transaction of business on the second Tuesday of each month," &e. Is It possible that we aro to be seriously told that sec. 8 of the City Charter was not intended to alter or supply the place or see. 3 of the Borough Charter I What does "alter" mean? Webster de fines it thus, "To make some change in—to make different in some particular—to vary lu some de gree without en entire change." Supply Is thus defined, "To fill up as nuy deficiency happens— to add what is wanted to afford a sufficiency —To serve instead of. Section 3 Borough Charter gives Councils the power to fix their day of meeting:— :ec. 8, City Charter, "alters" this, expressly withholding this power from City Councils by naming the second Tuesday. of each month as the day of meeting. The last clause of Sec. 3, Bor ough Charter, provided for a meeting of Councils within ten days after the third Friday of March. Sec. 8, City Charter " alters or surplice" this by fixing the second Tuesday of April, about twenty days after the third Friday of March, for the meet log of Councils for the transaction of business. Sec. 8, City Charter, is complete in itself. Its pro ceedings are clellnite r precise and entire. Those of Sec. 3, Borough Charter, are directly the re verse. But Sec. 3, Borough Charter, Is clearly "altered" by Sec. 8, City Charter, and Is not lu „force. To admit the contrary would be to assume the unreasonable, the absurd positiOn that the Le ‘ gislature In enacting so important a law as the city charter, after carefully fixing the time of the monthly meeting, had then intentionally left the most Important meeting by far of the year to be dependent on the uncertain, indefinite and incom Otte provisions of an old lioron . ;11 law which fixed no day. A word more. Councils were invited to meet on Tuesday evening last by a notice signed by the Mayor. The members elect came together and after examining the mutter for themselves, and listening to the opinion of the lawyers who •had united with the writer in the opinion that we had no authority to meet, and the opposite opinion of Mr. Runk end others, tt majority of each branch were of the opinion that the City Charter conferred no authority to transact business before the second Tuesday of April. They adopted the safer course,' which in the race of life will always prove wisest. All agree that Councils can legally organize and transact business two weeks from next Tuesday. Their right to meet for that purpose earlier Is de nied by many whose opinions are entitled to weight and consideration. As there Is uo crisis, no emer gency requiriug the Immediate actipn of Councils, and none likely to occur within the next two weeks, why reopen a question which has been decided already by both branch, of Councils? Respectfully, War. H. AINEY. LETTER LlST.—List of letters remaining uncalled for at the Allentown Post Office for the week ending Monday, March 27.

Churoh Recognition at Catasauqua An Ecclesiastical Council was held at Cah:Au :pm on Saturday last, called for the purpose of recognizing' a newly-organized Baptist Church, called the" First Baptist Church of Cates:imp:a." Delegates were present from (ho Baptist churches of Allentown, Easton, Reading and Slatington, who, with the delegates appointed by the Cala- Banque church, formed the Council. Rev. A. Arm strong, of Easton, was appointed Moderator, and Rev. E. Packwood, of Allentown, Clerk. The Articles of Faith adopted by the church having been laid before the Council and found to be In accordance with Scriptural requirements, and the prospects and expectations of the new In. (crest having been satisfactorily set forth; It was on motion of Roy. George Freer, of Rending, Resolved, That this Council proceed by appro priate services to recognize this organization as a Church of the regular Baptist Faith and Order. The services under this resolution were ns fol lows: 1. Au interesting address in Welsh and English by Rev. A. J. Morton, of Slatington. 2. Sermon by Rev. 6. Frcar, from Eph. 2 : 22. 3. Recognition Prayer by Rev. A. J. Morton. 4. Rand of Fellowship by Rev. A. Armstrong. it. Charge to the Church by Rev. E. Packwood. A large proportion of the members of this church brought their letters of dismission from Allentown. These, with others applying fur membership and" awaiting Baptism, will swell the membership to about thirty-five: The Sabbath school cothtected with the church numbers about seventy scholars, with a suitable number of teachers. The Allen town Baptist Church was recoguizal February 22d,1259, with three metnbeis audits fflany nation alities—America, England and Germany. The hive has swarmed twice since that date, sending Mr with Raternal prayers it colony to Bethlehem, and now bidding God speed to eighteen more at Catasauqua,leaving the Parent Church temporally and spiritually prosperous. May the blessing of God be enjoyed In equal measure by the children. MAnon 57,1671.
