A church scandal has been developed in this city which threat-; threat-; ens to match the Huston ati.iir. The j Kev. Abram B. Carter, of the church of 'our Savior, .Episcopal, in jLIi street, and ! residing with his wife and family on 1 Lexington avenue, has caused to be arrested ar-rested Miss Emma Couch, a young and beautiful lady, whom he charges with an attempt to blackmail him, by pretending pre-tending to bo his seduced victim. The examination of the case has been postponed post-poned till Monday nexL, Miss Couch being released on tho responsibility of her counsel, Edalfield Smith. She is a blonde with modest demeanor, and well educated; her parents live in Connecticut Connecti-cut and sho has been a school teacher in iiew Y'ork two years and a half. Her story is that she mado the acquaintance of the Rev. -Carter while attending his church, and insists positively that ho seduced se-duced her on tho occasion of her visit to him, in the vestry of tho church. She alleges that tho illicit intercourse was kept up several months, sometimes in j assignation hou-cs, and that she became ! enciente, and the Kev. Carter then sent her to an abortionist, promising to give her a hundred dollars a month, and this j lie did seven monthsand then suspended payment. When two months in arrears sho tent a man on Sunday, Fub. oth, to . him. Dr. Carter swears that tins' agent i visited him in the vestry of tho church ! on that date and accused him of having seduced Miss Couch in that very vestry, , and threatened exposure unless ho paid , monthly S100. Cartor claims that ho! spurned the man from his vestry and 1 next day bo received a letter of several pages from Miss Couch wh'o upbraided liim, and said "as suro as there was a; God in heaven, as truo as thero is a hell j to which your soul will be sent, I do1 here swear that if any Sabbath dawns upon this ourth and you go to preach in the church you have du tiled in such a' lillliy way, 1 would go separately to each one of your congregation. As long as 1 1 live and am able to take a step or hold a pen, I would never let ' youj.alone; : your wife-and. children shall see what you j have made of me." Emma li. Couch. On ' receiving this letter Carter consulted his lawyer, Elbridge Garvy, and they decided to arrest Miss Couch for attempted black mailing. Carter says tho charge is. totally false, though he admits' he kn,e"w Miss Couch as, an attendant at his church, and that 1 sho somptiipos visited him in tho vestry ' to procure religious books. When M is 1 Couch was arrested, she had just visited Carter's house according to his prear-rangemenl prear-rangemenl with tho police. She demanded de-manded the $kU regularly and ho refused refus-ed and defied her, when sho was arrested on the street.

A young man named Junius J ewoll, roleasod irom the Stat prison at Jolicl, gives an account of It wh'ch, if true, makes it a disgrace to the Slate and to humanity. Tho punish, ments in tho prison are various, the principal one being confinement in a solitary hole a ceil with no light, do lire, no furniture; and frequently us many as ton or twelve prisoners are thrown intu ono cell, and frequently frequent-ly chained to tho wall. Tlie usual usu-al time is one day's chaining to ten days' confinement; fed two mouth fuls of bread a day, ami one drink I of water. Among the most noticeable cases related of punishment m the cell is the iollmving: A ten-year man re- 1 turned with a slap a blow lliat bad been given him over the head with a hammer. He was Sunt to the "solitary" a week, and .was then ordered to apologise apolo-gise to tho guard which he refused to do. Ho was chained up in the solitary till ho became so famished that he eat the upper leathers of his shoes and his cap brim; and when he was found about to die, ho was taken down, reported sick, und died in the sick cell same night. He was in altogether eighteen day?, and was so weak he couldn't walk or suul, Mid had mainly supported sup-ported himsolf for several days by tho chains on his wrists. Josoph McCarly detailed in writing some account of the abuses and brutalities brutal-ities practiced in tho prison. It was supposed a guard was assisting him, and the oilicers tried to compel him to tell who it was. He refused to do so and was sent to. the solitary for seven days, and chained up forty-eight hours at liraL lie vaa caught with a communication to tho pres in his pocket, and was then sent to tho solitary ten days, chained up every- day, ami at tho end of tho ten day's was sent to tho north wing where he beennio insaue. They said he was i. laying crnay and be was airain dragged to tlio Solitary for fiHeeu days, and chained up nearly all tho lime. When he was much reduced ho would bo taken up to recruit and then chained again. Finally he was senl to the ho.-pital. His nose was twiili-d until it was blue, his back bruised bruis-ed and lie was handcuffed, fretmontly going eight and ten duy's without eating. eat-ing. Ha -became melancholy, and for refusing or neglecting to anwer guard, was kicked, cursed, handeuil'ed, and fastened; deprived of bed and f"nd. be is still crazy and under thfi, ordeal daily. It is a c.y com m on thing to beat men oyer the bond with clubs for small often- i ces, and shoot a man through tho leg for a slight ullencu.
