Thc Tyng Trial-An Interesting Case. 1 he New York correspondent of the Phila? delphia Ledger writing under date of Saturday last says : The very positivo announcement, by tho steamer Palmyra, at this port to-day, that the Bishop of Oxford has openly gone over to the Roman Catholic Church, is making a great breeze among tho Episcopalian-some of whom are unwilling to credit it. The author? ity for the statement, you will observe, is a pri? vate letter, said to have boen written by the Bishop himself, to a friend in Cork. So posi? tivo aro some of the Roman Catholic clergy here of the truth of the story, that I am in? formed they will refer to it in their pulpits to? morrow. This incident imparts new interest to tho contest going on in this diocese of the Episco? pal Church, between the so-called "Oxford" pttrty, and tho Evangelical churchmen, as de? veloped in the Tyng trial. Tho court-room this morning (fourth day), was thronged to excess, and many persons, of both sexes, as on yesterday, bad to go away, unable to obtain sitting or standing room. Most of the forenoon was occupied by Mr. Nash, cooneel for the prosecution. In Ramming up the case, he contended that the charges against tho respondent had beon fully proved. Even his own witnesses had con? tinued the fact that an intrusion had taken place, ?ind that, too, against the expross pro? test of the incumbents of both churches.. Tho words of the Saviour, upon which counsel for the other side had laid so much streps, "Preach the Gospel to every creature," waa nr ? given to 3very man, but to" Christ's chosen witnesses, ?vho had been with him, and saw all he did. l'he command was given to thom, and, by con 1.quenco, to their successors-but to none >thers. That command, thoreforo, was to bo ntcrpreted in a limited sense. The learned gentleman, then at great ength, went into an elaborate exposition of ;he canon law, and defined what was meant by parish limitations. The whole field of canons, oe said, wore nil in harmony, and ono could not bo disturbed without marring thc whole. In conclusion, Mr. Nash aaid, if it were de? sirable to procure a modification of tho canons 30 as to allow of tho larger liberty for which tho respondent was craving, the legitimate way would be to sond delegates to the General Convention, to show tho reasons for that change, leaving the result with that body. Courtlandl Parker, Esq., of New Jersey, fol? lowed for tho defence. Ho contended that Mr. Tyng had dono nothing deserving of censure. Ho had only preached thc Gospel. His only crime was that he had not the consent of the Rev. Dr. Stubbs or the Rev. Dr. Bogga-two gentlemen who had committed a great ecclesi? astical blunder. If these reverend gentlemen had assibted, instead of opposing Mr. Tyng, possibly the whole of that Methodist congre? gation "in New Brunswick would have been brought into what they considered the true fold. This was the first time that a clergyman had ever been put on trial for a violation of the croon in question. Tho canon, however, was not violated if it was correctlv interpreted. The fact is, tho canon was ni ado ia order to prevent persons encroaching on the limited salaries of clergymen and any interpretation differing from that would stultify the Church. The gospel should be preached" ovorywherc, and no one could or should prohibit it. Various precedents were quoted and authori? ties referred to to maintain the position that the respondent had done nothing calline for ecclesiastical censure. The following is ver? batim: "Does a minister violate a canon if ho preaches, or lectures, or prays before a poor sufferer in a railroad car, or in an almshouse, a hospital, or oven in that house where tho pro? ceedings are always oponed with prayer, or in bis (conusel's) own famdy ? And will it be con? tended that every timo a minister reads prayer in New Brunswick ho must get the permission of Messrs. Stubbs and Buggs ? [Great laugh? ter.] Why, certainly not. And in that case he had better pray extemporaneously." [Laugh? ter.] Counsel also put the case in this light : Supposo a brother to bc sick in New Bruns? wick, and you are asked to go and see him, must you run all over the city to find Stubbs and Bogga ? [Great laughter.]" Counsel-1 don't wonder at the laughter. TLi President-Nor I either, sir, but I would liko a little order. Counsel.-Or suppose you have a Methodist sister about to be married, and you are asked to officiate, must you run all over to find Stubbs andBopgs? [Laughter.] Tho whole thing is absurd. Mr. Parker occupied the tleor for more than two boura, and. like Mr. Nash, who preceded him, enlisted the unbroken attention of tho auditory. The court then adjourned until Tuesday morning last. A PASTORAL LETTER CONCERNING AMERICAN WOMEN.-Bishop Arthur Cleveland Coxe, of New York, has issued a pastoral letter in rela? tion to American women, in which he discours cthas follows. It will no doubt strike home to many an American household : When I seo the tawdry fashions, the costly vulgarity and the wicked extravagance of the times, I feel sure that thousands of American women are strangers to the first law of refine? ment-simplicity in manners and attire. When I seo that thousands of American women read the most shameful romances and the most de? grading newspapers, frequent tha vilest dram? atic ent'rtainments, and join ia dances too shocking to be named among Christians, I feel that Christian matrons are becoming too few, and that civilized heathenism is returning to the fields we have wrested from the Indians. When I read daily of the most ungodly divorces, and of crimes against social purity and against human fife itself, which are too gross to be men? tioned moro particularly, I feel that too many of our countrymen are without God in the world, and that radical reforms are necessary in the system of education on which tho young women of America aro dependent for their training. When I see thousands of households in which young girls are reared for a Ufo of pleasure "without reference to dut,', I cannot wonder at these results, nor at the misery in which they involve families and communities. Sow the wind and reap the whirlwind. As a Christian bishop, therefore, I make my appeal to you, Ch ns ti an women, and I r.sk you to be? gin the reformation by faithfully bearing your testimony against all that tends to the degrada? tion of your sex, and the more so when Buch, crime is"not only winked at, Lut receives counte? nance in circles which ought to be exemplary. THE CONVENTION, CONVENTION HELD BY AUTHORITY OF THE RECONSTRUCTION LAWS OF CONGRESS, TO FRAME A STATE CONSTITUTION FOR SOUTH CAROLINA. The convention yesterday made no progress. Important questions were pending, buc as WOB said upon the floor by one of tho delegates, the members apposred to have left their school books behind them, and were, therefore, un? prepared to recite their lessons. It was ex? pected that the judiciary report would elicit no little discussion as important changes were to bo suggested, but owing to tho fact that the printed copies heretofore distributed had boen sent to an admiring constituency or retained at home, the majority of the body were utterly benighted as to the wisdom of the legislation proposed. Something like five hundred dollars worth of time was consumed in debating what to do, and finally it was agreed to do nothing until the printer could furnish fresh material. The first reading was given to sundry new articles, and the convention went to dinnor at an earlier hour than usual. PROCEED.NGS OF THE CONVENTION. THIBTT-FIB8T DAY. The convention assemble! at tho usual hour. Mr. C. C. Bowen offered a resolution that the General Assembly, at its first session hereaf? ter, shall ratify ;ho 14th articlo of tho constitu? tion known os' the constitutional amendment, and it was referred to a committee for further consideration. Mr. R. G. Holmes, of Beaufort, introduced the following ordinance, which was referred to a special committee of five. In offering the resolution he said: "I hold in my hand a proposition which I wish to pre? sent" to tho consideration of this body, and I hope it will be referred to a special committee, and that it will bc adopted by this convention and engrafted into this constitution. For, in it we see not only all thc practical relief con? templated in that impractical mensuro so earnestly advocated on this floor for three days, bnt we will find in this a measure in which every inhabitant of this State is most deeply interested-a measure which, in its re? sults, will not only furnish tho relief contem? plated by so many, but will also furnish a reve? nue which will pav off tho entire dobt of this State:" ?SECTION 1. It shall be thc duty of tho legis? lature to provide for the establishment of a board, to le known and designated as Com? missioners of Public Lands, of which boord the Comptroller-General of tho State shall bo a member; and to defino tbo powers and du? ties of said boord, and fix the compensation of the members thereof; and to provide for the current expenses thereof. SEC. 2. The Commissioners of Public Lands shall have authority, under regulations pro? vided by law, to purchase at public sales im? proved and unimproved real estate within this State which, in the judgment of such commis? sioners, shall be suitable for the purposes in? tended by the 4th section of this articlo. Pro? dded, That the aggregate amount of pur? chases made in any fiscal year, shall not ex? ceed the par value of tho public stock: of this State crer.ted and appropriated by thc legisla turo for the purposes contemplated in thu fourth section of this article for such fiscal year; And provided, also, That tho rate at which any such purchase shall bo made olia ll not exceed seventy-five per cent, of the valuo of the land so purchased, including the im? provements thereon, such valuation to bo as? certained in thc manner hereinafter provided for by law. SEC. 8. Tho legislature ahull liavo authority to issue to said commissioner, public ntoek of this Stato, to such amount as it may doom ex? pedient, which stock, or the proceeds thereof, i 'lio commissioners shall have authority to ap? ply in accordanco with thc second section ol' this article. Provided, That such public stock shall not bo negotiated at a rato loss than the par value thereof. SEC. 4. Thc said commissioners shall have authority, under such logulations as s hull bo established by thc legislature, to cause thc said lands to bo surveyed and laid ?ff in suita? ble tracts, to be sold to actual aottlers, subject to the condition that one-half thereof shall bo put under cultivation within three years from the date of any such purchase; and that the purchaser thereof shall annually pay interest upon tho amount of such purchase money re? maining unpaid, at tho rate ut seven per cent, per annum; and also all taxes imposed thereon by or under the authority of the United States, or of this Slate, and, in addition thereto, shall, in every year after tho third from tho dato of said purchase, pay such proportion of the principal of said purchase, as shall be required by the legislaturo. The title of said lands snail remain in the Stato until thc amount of said purchase shall bc paid, principal and in? terest. But a certificate of such purchaso sholl be issued to tho purchaser, which, subject to the conditions of such purchaser, shall be as? signable after throe years Hom thc dato thereof. SEC. 5. All louds purchased by said commis? sioners, ur tho proceeds of tho sales tlioroof, shall be and remain pledged for the redemp? tion of the public sfock, laaued under scctiun 3d of this article. Hut thc legislature shall have authority, subject to such lieu and pledge, to mako upon thc faith and credit of said fund, further issues of public stock, but the stock issued aa last, aforesaid and the pro? ceeds thereof shall be used exclusively for tho redemption of ihc pubhc debt of tho State, out? standing at tho dat J of such issue, ?iud which shall not be funded. 8EC. C. The legislature shall provide by law for tho seourity of tho funds in thc hands ol tho commissioners of public lands, and for tho accountability of such officers, and shall rc quiro bonds to ho given therefor. Mr. E. W. M. Mackey offered a resolution requesting General Cunby to remove the pres entSuporintendent of thc Stale Penitentiary, and appoint in bis place Wm. E. Rose, the delegate from York District. Mr. M. stated that a petition to that effect hod been aigued by overy member of I ho convention. The resolution was adopted. On motion ol J. W. Allon, of Greenville, the President of the convention was requested to draw $20,000 lrom the State treasury in billa receivable, to pay the per dum of members on the 22d inst. Mr. J. H. Jenks, ol' Bcrkeloy, offered tho fol? lowing : Whereas, wo regard it to he the duly and truepolioyof the General Govcrnmenl to hua band, encourage and protect the agricultural resources of the several St ttcs, anil whereas the culturo of riye forms one ol' tho prinoipal resources of the Statu ol South Carolina, be it Resolved, That we petition Hie Congress of the United States to take no action looking to? wards the reduction or repeal of tho present import duty on nee, behevimr thal tiny abate? ment of tho present tariff will render tho cul? ture of that staple unprofitable, and thereby deprive the State of one of ita chief resources, and tho inhabitants thereof of one of its prin? cipal sources of subsistence. Referred to the Committee on Petitions. Mr. N. G. Parker offered a resolution that no member shall speak more limn tifteon min? utes upon r^v pubject and only once, unless by tho un? conaent ol "th? convention. Adopten. The convention proceeded to the considera? tion ot thc unfinished business, which was tho section 3C of tho legislative part of tho consti? tution, lt was passed to its third reading with? out debate. The next busiuess i i order was the first read? ing of tho report of the committee, recom? mending amendments to Hie constitution in the judicial department. L. S. Langley moved that the further con? sideration of tho subject bo postponed until the delegates could get tho printed documents which they had loft at homo. R. B. Elliott moved that one hundred and fifty extra copies be printed. Mr. N. G. Parker stated that oue hundred and fifty copies would coat thirty-five dollars. Considerable discussion followed. W. J. McKinlay, of Orangeburg, said he thought it would be cheaper to print than talk. If they kept on, the debate would cost five hundrod dollars at least. Mr. C. C. Bowen said the convention reminded him of a party of boys who had como to school without their lessons. It was a strange circumstance that so much interest should bo felt in tho proceedings of tho convention, and yet that they should leave at home the most important documents on which the acti jn of the body depended. Ho hoped, thereforo, ?tat the consideration of the judiciary report ould be continued. A rambling debate, interlarded willi all sorts of motions, ensued, until S. A. Swails called for the previous question, which was ordered. The main question being on the motion to postpone, it was decided in the negative. The amendment to print one hundred and fifty extra copies was likewise agreed to. Tho following articles of the constitution were then read the first time, and laid over un? der the rules: On the executive part of the constitution; on charitable institutions; on cor? porations; on the militia, and on finance and taxation. Tho convention adjourned kt half-past one o'clock. Low Moral? In High Lift. GREAT SCANDAL IN THE QUEENS BENCH-THE HE? REDITARY GRAND CHAMBEHLAIN OF ENGLAND TN A FIX. On the 1st of F tbruary an action, in whloh tho Countess d'Alteyrac waa the plain iff, and Lord Willoughby dTDresby, the Hereditary Grand Chamberlain of England, the defend? ant, was brought before th J Court of Queen'* Bench, London. In 1847 the Countess d'Alteyrac was the wife of an officer of high position'and connections in France. Her husband was travelling, she formod tho acquaintance of the defendant, and in 1849 sho left her husband and came to Eng? land to live with Lord Willoughby dT?resby as his wife She was visited by many of his friends, and for many years lived happily with him. She tended him very affectionately du? ring a long illness, and on his recovery they removed from town to Caen Lodge, Twicken? ham, which was partly purchased by the Count? ess's money ana furnished at her expense. They hod one daughter, who was brought up in ignoran o of the fact that lier father and mother were not man and wife. Up to 1864, when the Countess went over to Paris to bring her daughter to London, no great difference had arisen between herself and Lord Wil? loughby, except that occasioned by some scan? dal about Lord Willoughby's behaviour to one of the maids ; but on the CounteBB's re? turn 6hc was told by an agent of Lord Willoughby that she must give up pos? session ot Caen Lodge, which she considered as her property. She refused, and was then waited on by a friend of bis lordship, who ne? gotiated a separation on the understanding that an allowance of ?1200 a year, and ?4000 down should bo mado to the Countess, to? gether with an adequate provision for her daughter. Theso terms wero not considered unreasonable, as Lord Willoughby has an in? come of ?70,000 or ?80,000 a year. The Countess then left Coen Lodge, the furniture of which was sold, and realized ?8000. None of this money was given to her, and of the promised allowanco sho received only ?300. She never saw Lord Willoughby after her return from Paris, and her maid was soon after installed mistress of Caen Lodge. The action was brought to recover the money realized by the sale of the furniture. The key to Lord Wil? loughby's conduct was to be found in the fact that th? bulk of the property he inherited from his father was left him on condition of his separating from tho Countess. The Lord Chief Justice intimated that the whole matter had better be referred to the arbitration of a man of honor, and the counsel on both sides seem? ed to think that this would bo the most de? sirable course. Mr. Coleridge handed to the Lord Chief Justice a draught of the terms to which Iiis client the Countess would consent, but, as Lord Willoughby wau not in town, tho caBO was adjourned until the following Mon? day. The family of the Willoughby d'Eresby is one of the most ancient among tho English nobility. The holder of the title is for the timo being tho hereditary Grand Chamberlain of England; and the present lord, who ia de? fendant in this suit, ?a the fortieth barren in a dit oct lino. What ls thought of his nob. btv in tho Court ot' Quoon's B?nen may he judfrea by tho following peroration of Mr. Coleridge's speech, iu which the Lord Chiof Justice, by tho course ho pursued, seemed entirely to nyree, Mr. Coleridge said: It was true that she had not been married to the defendant, but the ab? sence ol tho religious obligations would make tho relations between them, under the circum? stances!, in some respects moro sacred to a man of honor. She had left her husband for him, had borne him a daughter, and lived with iiim for fifteen years. She was os faithful to him ns woman ever was to man. In health and in sickness sho devoted herself to him with unwearied attention. She had but one fault; and if ho had in him one spink of the feelings of a gentlemen, it did not he in his month to reproach her with it. vf course, in the ab? stract, thoso things are wrong; but to what ex? tent they aro wrong, and what the complexion is of this or that case, it is not for mon to judge. Burns wrote: "What's done we all can well compute, Bul never what's resisted." There may bo men who have never strayed be? yond tho sacred circle of legitimate love. Lot them thank God for it; but let no man set lam? bell up os ti judge of those who had. Meu of tho highest gifts of heart atid mind, mon of stainless honor, mon whoso lives in other re? spects were patterns of every graco and every oxccllonce and every virtue, h.a.iin this respect departed from tho into standard of morals; but it would bo miserable cant und hypocrisy to deny on that account tho hiirli and noble quali? ties they posses ?. Thc mau would bo the big? gest scoundrel that ever breathed who, having lived with a woman during her best years, and talton from her lier love und her means, could then deli erately fling her off. Tho defendant hero had acknowledged his obligation, and would no doubt have carried out his expressed intent ion bad lie not c imo under baneful in? fluence. B ing so, he Baized lier wretchod furniture ?nd turned her into the street. But let thu Lord Hiub. Chamberlain ot England, Hie mau whose duty it was to marshal the no? bles of tho country to tho throne of tho Sover? eign-lot hun B..y in that action : "I an Eng? lish nobleman, an English gentleman, have sold your property, and have tho proceeds ; but you aro a married woman-you cannot maintain this action. I will take advantago of thia legal technicality to defeat your just claim. ' Let the Lord High Chamberlain of England do this if ho dare-lot him go to court and toll his high-souled and pure minded Royal mistress what manner of actions her (.'li'amboi'la.n commits ; and let him add that ho resorted to a defence which miserably failed-a defence as bad in law as it wau un? founded in honesty and honor. [Applause] The case terminated on the 3d of February by a reference to arbitration. Tho Lord Chio? Justice was to appoint the referee. THE G BEAT WALK-SERGEANT BATES ON HW TrtAVi LS-His DOINGS AT MEBIDIAN-Our read? ers are familiar with Sergeant BatcB, the Wis? consin Bay, who proposed to walk Irom VickB burg lo Washington, carrying t he American Hug, to lest tho spirit of the rebolB. A special telegram from Meridian, Miss., to an ex? change says : Bates, thc ex-Federal sergeant who is to walk alone and unattended from Vicksburg to Washington by tho first of Juno, carrying a United Statas flag, reached hero to-day. He was cold, wet, and thirsty, and said ho would like to take a drink. He was escorted to a saloon by nn enthusi? astic crowd of ex-robcls, who treated him with distinguished consideration, and the wholo party took sugar and whiskey. Bates pro? nounced it good, and the partv took another tasto all round. Bates still approved of the mixturo, and wanted to stand troat himsolf, but it couldn't bo thought of. A dolen ation of citizons, headed by the M oyor, called on Bates, and oysters were or? dered. Bates took a dozen raw and a dozen Iricd, with butter and popper. Tho Mayor prcaented his guest with tho freedom of the city. The bar-keeper now treated. They all took whiskey and sugar. Bates and tho Mayor adjourned to tho bil? liard room aud played a friendly game, at in? tervals taking whiskey and sugar. Aftor which, on account of tho weather, they took a littlo whiskey and sugar. Bates now left the city on the Selma road, but after going about half a mile, escorted by the delegation of citizens, headed by thc Mayor, ho returned and took somo whiskey and sugar. The landlord gave BateB a bottle of whiskey, and an enterprising grocery mer? chant gave him two pounds of sugar, which he put in his pocket. After this, Bates left, on the road for Selma. -Ohio, by a wise law recently introduced in? to lier legislature, proposes not only to punish tho participants in prize fights, but the spec? tators and reporters. taskers.
