The sum of his opinion is that it menns mischiof to politieal tricksters and corrnptionists, without rogard to party agaociations. It mosns no quar- ter to the Republican and Democratio organiza~ tiona. Lonient treatmont haa boon metod out to the crneading womon in Clueinnatl.

Mr. Thurman spoke in the Scoato yestorday on the Civil Rights bill. He sld it was on the programmo that the bill should pass, but ho be- loved that, if Benators should vote without re- gord to outsido pressure, it would bo rojected by an overwhelming majority. But tho colored voto was not to bo contemned. Mr. Thurman had some roagons to urge against the passago of the bill which doserve respoctful considoration. A swindling contractor built the aam which gavo way Inst Saturday morning in Massachu- setts. Doubtless ho has consod by this time to count over bis blood-monoy with any groat de- gree of satisfaction, Judas wont out and hanged himself aftor his trenchory had produced its legitimate results; it is not too late for the Mussnchusetts contractor to emulato the action of hie great oxemplar, Boston Is not to bo bereft of its Ocean Steam- hip line, if tho statement of Mr, Franklyn, tho Now York agent of the Cunard Company, may Do trusted.

The LaMmmora-Bismarck affair has died down ontirely, and there is talk now of s cloger alli- ance betweon Germany and Italy than thero ing boen hitherto. It is rumored that Germany has ngreed to make common cause with Italy ngainst any enemy who may atlack hor. France and Austria are tho only countries which would bo liely to quarrel with Italy, and Germany would not abjoct to giving eithor o amall thrash- ing, Inthis way Germouy strongthons itself, securing tho good will of Italy, and enables the Iatter country to dispenso with a standing army of any great dimensions, and, of courso, with the expeonso sttonding the maintenance of such an army, At o meeting of ihe Ilouse Banking and Cur~ renoy Committeo yoaterdsy, important modifica tions wore made in tho Senato Finance bill.

Notwithstanding this fach, we presume that not even the most sanguine frionds of Prof. 8wing have dreamied that he would bo acquitted so Lriumphantly and decisively. That Prof. 8wing should, in fact, have secured the votos of such ataunch defonders of Presbyteri- aniem as Dr. Pattorson, Dr. Bwazey, Dr. Kit~ tredge, the Rov. Ar, Mitchell, and others, and ovon of gomo of Prof. Patton's own special frionds, who assisted him during the trial and upon whom he leancd for nympathy, must bo one of thomost gratifying foatures of the final re~ sult to Prof. Swing. It will also bo pleasanc for him to remember that many of tho mombers of the Prosbytery who have voted for his ncquittal avo tha fathera of Presbyterianism in the Waat, and were preaching its doolrines when Prof, Patton was in his swaddling-clothos, ‘Upon the Buccessful issue of thig trial the pub- Yie will join In congratulating Prof. Swing aud the mombors of tho Fourth Church not ouly upon his releaso, but upon the manly, dig- nifled, and ‘unostontatious manuor in which he hns conducted limsolf at tho bar, in . compariron with tho minatory do- portment of the prosecutor, who was in reality upon trial justas moch ns Prof. Swing.

The Curronoy hill was pending whon the Btato Committeo mot. That Committoe is composed principslly of porsons holding offico through tho proouration or by tho pormisdon of Bonatora Logan and Oglesby, and the Committeo was car- nost, enthusiastio, and zoalons in favor of an oxpansion of tho owrrenoy,~—in favor of chonp money aud an iodefinlto post- ponoment of epecle paymonts. Sinco thon thio Prosidont has vetood the bill and declared his detormination to protect tho country sgninst any logisiation for an inflatlon of the ewrrency. Tho party in Iliinols, therefore, must moot the question direotly. Shall it tako sides with the Sonators, and repudiato tho doctrine of the veto mossogo, or shall it indorse tho doctrino of that - message, and théreby repudiato tho inflation policy of the Sonators? The central organ of the party at Springficld, a wool or more ago, do- olared that the Convention would unhesitatingly indorse tho Sonators, sud sustain tho policy of inflation, and cou!d nover approve the policy aot forth in tho velo meesago. againat this nttompt to comm}_t tho party to the shinplastor policy hnve beon presented by a ma- jority of the Ropublican papers of the Btato, and the meoting of the Uonvention 18 looked for with more than ordinary interest.

BWING AND SABELLIUS, In tho yeor 201, baforo » Councll at Alexandrin thiore was o man on trial for tonohing Babollian- lsm. Aftor nn Intorval of 1,018 yoars, hero, bo~ fora o Chleago Preabytory, thoro has beon (not wo think tho second in tho history of tho world) anothor. It {s n strango phonomenon, this resurrection of Sabollius in modorn times and in the most modern of modorn olties,— an individunl whom wo would have supposed burled forevor undor the modern not- work of tolographs, Yot there ho 18, summoned up agnin, altbough Coperniocus and Columbus bavo lived ;; although the Roformation has hoon at work 800 yoars, In tho firat of thoro trials, the dofendant was nono othior thon Babelliug himself, In tho lat- tor, it waa Prof. Bwing. In the first, the proso- outor was Dionyaiua; in the lattor, it is Prof.’ Patton, Thoro aro somo rosomblances betweon tho two trinle. Tho charges aro in part tho eamo, Babolllus was o prosbyter or priost. 8o I8 Bwing. Dionysius was acleric. Sois Patton. Patton admits of no liboraliem in Prosbyterian- Ism, just as Dionysius refused to admit any into tho Obriatinnity of bis timo. Babollius was givon to the study of philosophy. Ho was ac- qualntod espeoially with that of Greeco, and his horosy Iind its origin In tho attempt mado by him to raconollo the Christian doctrino of tho Trinity with the speculations of tho Stoles, aa John -hind reconcilod it in part with that of tho Platonists, Bwingis addictod to philosophy, and ondenvors to harmonizo his Christianity with modorn thought. Nabollius gave offense by his innovations. 8o has Prof. Bwing., Ba- ‘bolliua bad numorous followers, 8o hns Bwing. Babolliua was exoommunicated by tho Counoil. Horo tho rosomblanco conses; for it is not likely that Swing will bo consured oven by tho Genoral Assembly. When Bwing is finally ncquitted, the avangolical world will probably have anotherros- pito of 1,018 years from o trial for Sabellinnism. It will require that longth of timo at loast for Mothor Naturo so far to rocupgrato hior forces as tobo oqual to the production of a third Dio- nysiua, i PARTIES IN MISSOURL, Tho State of Missourt will bo called upon this year to decide whothor Carl Bchurz shall bo ro-clocted to tho Benmate. Tho recontly-publishod lotter to tho 8t ouis Republican, from its Washington correspondont, though promptly dleavowed by Bonator Bchurz in the card which wo have published, served to draw the firo from partisane of all sorts, and to show oxactly what kind of opposition ho will havo to moet. Benator Behurz is nobt s party hack, Itis the glory of Missouri, to intelligont obaorvers, that it hea ono Benator who is not tho. slave of any cauous or convention, but the opon foo of monopoly and misrule in ovory form and ovory party. But the Domocratio party or- gona spap at his heols with savago_ throats and sneers, tolling him that unless ho * not only do- clares himsolf n Democrat, in words that admit of no doubtfnl Intorpretation, but by his deeda sod his onthusinsm show that his conversion has beon thorough and unquestionable,” he can nover obtain gentinued honor from Missourd. And thoe Ropublican party organs, with equal truculonco and & party spite not less malignant beeauso it is in that Stato wholly impotont, de- claxo that *if ho stands upon his past record, he hes no favors to ask of the Republican party, and the Republican party has no favora to give him. , . . IfLoisa candidate forre-clection with our consont, it will be only after ho bas satisfaciorily explainad the past and satisfactorle ly guaranteod the future.” . Thus the State ia on trial. Its Domcorats will o ealled upon to show whethier they have man- hood and deconcy cnough to rospect the brave loador, tho fidelity to convictions of duty, and ihe independence of party fatters, without which a Domocratio Legislaturoin Missourl would have been imposaiblo. Wo say nothing of gratitude, for gratitude in politics Ling beon well dofinod a8 *a lively seiso of favors to come.” But if the Demoorats of that State Lave in thom o touch of menliness, they will feel that human nature is not capable of a mesner act than the defeat by their votes of tho statesman whoso solf-forget- ful patriotism gavo thom votes; of o baser and more dishonest act thanio trample under foot that independence of partlsanship which they professod to lionor and to share when thoy want- od enfranchigoment ; of an act more hurtful to the Stato than to tell tho world that Missouri had rolapsod into such a dopth of malignant par- tisanship that its ablost and most honorod statoa- man ‘could not be electod becanso ho would not wear thocollar of a parly ; of an et moro suicidal than to provo that Northern men, Northorn ideas, and liberty-loving Germans aro to bo pro- soribed and hunted out of places of honor in Missourd, beceuse tho Btato has fallen info tho hands of mon who hato ' tho focs of slavory us aavagely ns did the Dorder Ruflians of 1854, and facl for tho dofendors of the Union even mora than the rovengoful spite which inspired the guerrilla ralds and massncres. of 1861 and 1862, To tho Domocracy of AMissouri, ono partisan moro or leus in tho Benato cau do no good.

Now that this Jong and Intercating trial 19 at an ond, 1t will not be amiss to give a summary of it, starting with its romote and insignificant be- ginning. Its source was in the publication last summer in the Pittsburgh Presbylerian Banner of an nrtlolo reflecting upon Prof, Swing's ore thodoxy, which was copled with comments by Dr. Patton, oditor of the Inlerior, into his papor, This action called forth a lottor from Prof. Bwing oxoulpating himself from the chargen of comments of the Banner and rebutting the the Interfor. Dr. Patton rojoined with an oditorial in the Inferior, which was followed by another lotter from Prof, Bwing. Tho nowspaper controveray, tho nature of which gave Dr. Patton in his capacity of od- itor an advantngo of which he tool full advan« odgo, attracted the nttention of THE PRESBYTERIAN CLERGY of the city, aud at tho rogualr woekly meating of tho Prosbytertan ministers of Chicago, hold ab the . close of April in tho Alliance offico, the subject of Dr. Palfou's ropaated critiolsmes, a8 oditor of tho _Inferfor, of Dr, Swing's sormons, wns discussed and univer~ sully condemuad 88 unwarrantable and incorrect. At tho meoting it was resolved that on & future occaslon the Prosbyterian Associntion of Cbi« cago should moet and pasa resolutions exprosue in;futllmlr fu‘\‘fllng :nlfllo mm.i,nri @ mooting of tho Asanciation an thaMondn; followlng, at Which the matter was oxpected tg come undor considoration, was remarkably woll attondod, twelve Eldors and twonty-uix ministors bolng presont. Tho first shot was fired by the Patton pnrtly who prosontod a resolution tndore« ing tho arliclo in the Inferfor of tho 12th of Tobrunry, which stated that * thore aro thoso wha doubt, and we smcng them, that Prof. Bwin; bolioves that Christ s God; that tho donth of Christ “was an oxl)lnlary sncrifico; that men woro justified by faith alono; that tho punish- mont of the -wicked I8 otornal; and that he bolieves in the Church dootrine of the Trinity, nd In tho regonorating Influoticoo the 8 it ;7 and etating that it was tho duty of the author of the ortlole to bring the subject matter thoreof undor .the notica of tho Presbytory with o view toits detormining, on inqniry, whethor maid doubts wero wall or fll-founded. Aftor o short but sharp dobate tha resolution was tabled by on overwholming voto. During his specoh in support of tho rosolution DR, PATTON GAYE NOTIOR that ko wonld, in {the mecting of tho Presbytery m April, 1prn(m— formal charges agaiust Prof, Swing. Tho meeting of the I'roabyterian Asso- ontion on tho Monday following was_ watched with peculiar intercst, as many bolioved that at it Dr. Patton would presont his oharges, Iu this thoy wera disnppoinied, as thoy did not come to light until Apxii 14, when TUE, CHIOAGO PRESBTTERY bogan its annual meoting, In tho aftornoon the charges, two In numbor, wore prosented by Dr. Patton. Tho firat cbarge, which was support- ad by twenty-fiva spacifleations, act forth that Prof. David Bwing hod not beon zoslous and faithful in mnmtnlnm} the truths of tho Gospel, and hed not been feithful and diligont in the oxerciso of the duties of his position. Tho soc~ ond charge, supported by four specifications, sab forth that Prof. David 8wing did not sincorely receive and adopt tho Confession of Taith of the Presbytorian Church, as containing tho sya« tom of docirinos taught In the Moly Boriptures. The slmn};u!t points urged in tho chinrges wore that Prof. Swing had shown himself in bhis aormons to be guilty of Babellianism and Unita~ rianism ; that ho had used unwarrantablo lane guago abont Penelope ; that bo had pronched in 8id of tho Mary Price Gollier Unitarian Obpel, ?nd ‘bad totally rejected three great Presbytorian onots. After & warm debate, it was doclded torefor the mattor of the charges to THE JUDICIARY COMMITTER, who, ontho Monday following, presented = maojority and n minority report. After discus- sion, the reports were recommonded, and the modlfled spseifieations wota ordarad fo be pro- sontad to tho meoting the following day, On nee vount of thoillness of Prof. Swlui. the Rev.

Among thesa wero Dr. Patterson, who oxpreseed his conviction of Prof. Bwing’s orthodoxy; Mr, W. O. Goudy, who held s different viow ; and Dr, 8wazay, who lelped the defonse with his testimony concern~ ing an alloged Lioretical sermon. Thursday, Nay 7, the cxamination of Judge IL G. Miller wag proceeded with, who told What' ho ramombered of the sermon ou ‘ Ministerial Calling,” and Ar, Shufoldt, who_strongthened the prosccution Dy nsserting that he considered Prof. Swing ta be unsound on the question of infant damna~ tion, This closed tho testimony for the prosgs cution, after which & MOTION ¥OT CONTINUANCE was made by Dr. Patton, on the ground of the ubsenco of an important witness, the Rov. Laird Collior, and refused, tho vote of tho muker of tho motion baing the only oue recorded in_its aupport.
