Onlyafew months have passed, Sod on ull sides we hear, **Evea Leo NIIL 18 the fame: things 20 on justas bufore. Theyare Popes, and they are all alike.” S ‘The fact ie, the iloly Father inaugurated his Pon- tificate with an crror. In his first disconrse to the Cardinals he restared to the Sacred Colleze the au- hority that Pius IX. nad sppropriated. "Pius 1X. had succeeded in forming a Sacred Collese which* no longer sought either initiative or authority. They woro his creatures, #nd left him to_govern 1he Church in a manner absolutely despotic, Leo X Wwho _ disapproved this mode of pro- cedare, would, with a gemerosity equal to tis mind, restore the Cardinals to their dignity ind suthority as_ Princes of the Church.

The Pontift was not long in recognizing the op- position organized 1o At contrary to nm in every- thing.

One of the firat acts of the Pontiff was to send forthe ex-Jesnit Padre Curcl. A note was sent 10 him by Cardinsl Frauchi. statingthat the Pontiff desired to ece terminated a ecandal which ficted him much. Padre Carci, showing him- sell_grieved in havine dome anything 'which might have displeased the Pope, dectared himself ready to submit humbly to the will of the Father of the Faithful. He insisted, however, in demonetrating that nis work upon the **Moderno tisidio™ was mot in any guisc contrary to the doctrines of the Church, and cxplained why he had refused to sign the retractation required by the Pootiff Pius IX. In that retractation it wasinsisted 1hat Padre Curci should recognize as doctrines of the Church—First, the speedy re-establishinent of the temporal power of the Pope: £econd, the ab- siention of the Catholice from participation in the electione; third, the impossibility of the Church and the Kingdom of Italy co-existing. ‘‘These things, ™ said Padre Curci, ‘*I will never re zize, 'Rather than do #o 1 would be cnt in piece They must make up their minas that Italian amty feafact which caunot be destroyed.

Padre Carci expressed the wish that the matter should be confided to | somempartial person, and his Holmess, with great oushilniness, intrusted it to bis brother, Don Guiseppe, who had been a friend of .Padre Carer's for many years. Tais notwithstanding. Padre Curci saw Cardinal Franchiseveral times, snd talked with him at Tenth on the conditions and duties of the Church and its relations with Italy. 1n one of these con- versations they spoke of the occupation of Rome, a0d Padre Curcl expressed bimself us follows: **I, who am in the babit of sceinc the hand of Providence in all the things of this world, maintain the belief that the occupa- tim or Rome was providential. The Church €eserved to be humiliated; she hasnot yet been g0 suticiently. It i neceesary that the Chitrch should e the mirror of virtue, of morality, of honesty. Now, what has occurred? We have, thanks to s ‘occupation. at the Quirinala younr King ®he, according to all reports, is an upright man, ze2d¥ 10 do all and everything for the good of the eomntry. We have 4 young Queen, who is respect- #d by all the world a« the niost virtuous and best- beloved woman in Italy. With such Sovercigns, it follows that the Court is composed of moral and Tespectable persons; and, inasmuchas the exam- D¢ comes from above, sce the good which may be done. - But this example of a profane Court should, tbove cverything elsc, serve s a. etimuiant to o firitusl Court. Wherefore J say that Providence brought things to a point which will oblige the oznfical Court fo abolish many abases, and com- Pettin virtne and in morals with what dominates 8the Quirinal.” Padre Curci, in_another conversation, sought to onstrate the necessity for the Pope to £o ouf. e fanatics, to get rid of the person of the Pope, ¥ould haveno need of poizon, Lo which it is said tics of anothier kind had recourse to get rid of LeoNIL Tothoe of ourday it wonld be sufliy n:nf‘ tomaintain_intact the ridicalous fction of fe “prison.™ “Padre Curel described at lensth unhealthiness of the Vatican, particulari mumer.

A MOVEMENT TOWARD ABLOUISHING THE REE-YEAK LIMIT. e York Times, July 8. For several years there has been a growing conviction among the membersof the Methodist, Episcopal churches in - this seetion uf the coun- try, at least, in favor of doing away with the arbitrary ruie tiat limits the time which a min- ister may remain in charze of one congregationy to threc yea The question was brought up at the last session of the Methodist East Con- ference, held in Brooklyn fn- April last, by the introduction of a resotution to appoint a com- mittee to take the matter into consideration; and the way in which the suggestion was ac- cepted Ly the - Conierence demonstrated con- clusively that there was a strong fecling amony the members in favor of it. It was late in the scssion, however, and even its friends did not feel that they had time properly to discuss and inteliwently to decide so imporiant a question. It was consequently referred to a committee, and there 1t remaiued unsil the Contercnce finally adjourned. T uestion, however, is_onc in which so much interest s felt, not ouly among the laity, but on the part of the ablest and most Ypfluen- tial members of the mivistry, that it is shze to be brought prominently before the highest au- thorities of the Chureh at an early day. At the last Quarterly Conference of the Washington Street Methodist Church in Brooklyn, held on March 30, a resolution was unaniinonaly adopted inviting the co-operation of the several Quarter- 1y Conferences of the Methodist churches of that city in organizing a convention, to consist of five lay delegates from each chureh, for the consideratibn of the subject, in conucction with the condition of Methedism in the city, and to take such setion with rezard to memiorializing the next General Conference. which meets in 1880, as shall be deemed for the best intercsts of the Methodist Episcopal Cburch. Three reasons are set forth as having led to the action of the Quarterly Conference, as follows: First—The Committee having the matter in charme say that they have beeu made aware of a widespread dissatisfaction with regard to the disruptian of the relations of pustor and pcople by an arbitrary limitation as to time, under cir- cumstances which seemed to make the change disastrous. Second—They have heard' the frequent and ‘unnecessary changes in the pastorate mostcom- mounly referred to as a reason why many of their converts do not come into the Methodist Church; and, also, why many families of Meth- odist antecedents and trainiug have left them to swell the ranks of other denominatious. Third—They have also heard that the diseat- isfaction with the three-year ruie is increasing, both among the ministry and the laity, and likely to be in_the future a source of in- creased dtsaffection and loss. Thus, while unalterably opposed to a sctiled pastorate in the forms known to other churches, they have reached the conciusion that the luity ought to fake the question into timely consideration, and, desiring only the increased power and useful- ness of their cliurch, they have thousht best to i invite the co-operation of sister churches in or- der to ascertain and formulate the sentiment of Brooklyn Methodism. Iu conclusion, the Committec offer the Wash- inzton Street Methodist Chureh for the accom- modation ot the proposed Convention, as con- venient and_central, and urge upon ail of the Quarterly Conierences to send five delegates to the Convention. The Committee arc Abi Peace, Jereminh Mundell, S. Sherwood, and J.S. Barndollar.~ The latter, in conversation With a Times reporter, enid that only one Quar- terly Conference had as yet appomnted dele- rates, 6o far as be koew, and that was the Sum- merficld Church in Washington avenue. Three otbers had been heard fromn, and they had re- ferred the matter to their Board of Officers, with power. The object, he said, was to peti- tion the next General Conference to abolish the limit, and leave to the discretion of the Bishop what changes should be made. The practical workings of_the oresent system, su_fur us it could be intluenced, were to leave the appoint- ment of ministers really in_the Lands of cach church uutil the limit of threc years has ex- pired. If achurchdesiresto retain apastor, sach refercnee is made known ‘to the Presiding gishop throush the Board of Deacons; and, it the Bishop is satisfled that the interests of the church will be best subserved by making no changes, he respeets the wishes of the people, and allows thewn to retain the pastor of their choice. The same rule holds zood in regard to transfers, the Bishop usually allowing the preference for any particular preacher to in- Huence him in selecting a pastor for them when- ever o change must be made. Butthereisa growing dissatisfuction on the part of the laity of the Methodist Church with the system, for the reason that it rudely sunders the tenderest ties of pastor and people in many instances, and they feel that it interferes with the_effective worlkings of their chureh *systew. - The ablest men among the ministry are also in favor of 2 change. In fact, about the only ones who op- pose it are the weaker breturen of the ministry, and, perbaps, a few of the ‘more conservative of Jaity, who look upon it as interfering with one of the *old-established land-marks ot Method- ism.” ‘Fhere is also, Mr. Barndollar said, an impres- sion on the part of many that the futention is to dispense with the appointive system slto- gether, and establish a scttlea ministry in its Eleaa. This is enurely erroveous. ‘The ap- pointments_will all be subject to the same yearly revision that they are now. I'he only alteration will be to leave discretionary with the Bishop the question of where chauges shall be made, and to relieve him from compulsory oblization to make a change atleast ouce every three years, as at present.. As the rule now stands, a change may be made every year, and must be every three years; the only Uifference will be to allow the Bishod to take such action at aoy and all times as he may rezard for the best interests of aby particalar church, or of the Church at large. One rea- son why the matter was mob pressed, Mr. Barndollar said, at the meeting of the East Conference last April, was because nothing detinite could be accomp) shed until_the meet- ine of the General Conference in 1380. and, a3 there would be two more sessions of the annual East Conference before that, it was thought best 1o defer definite action by U nnual Con- forence for another year. The mode of proced- are will be to eceure, 1 possible, the co-opera- tion of the several Quarterly Confcrences in agrecing to some action to_be taken by the An- pual Conferences, which will fn turn refer the subject to the General Conference for tinal ac- tiou. It is, of course, too early to say what ae- tion will be taken by the Quarterly Conferences, _or when the oroposed Convention will be beld. Tt will be several weeks, and perhaps moanths, before responses can be received from all the Conferences. The probabilitics are that. if the Gonvention is held a all, it will not mect before {all, and whether it shall be held at ali will de- ‘pend upon the action of the Quarterly Confer- cenees. i PAN-JUDATSM. WIAT 15 LIEELY TO BE DONE AT THE PARIS CONFERENCE. An International Jewish Conference will be held this month in Paris for the purnose of dis- cussing measures to improve tne political and social condition of the Jews in yarious parts of cougregations in every quarter of the globe. The veteran Adolphe Crenneixis expected to - preside, and among the delegates will probably be Chief Rabbi Astruc and M. Oppenheim from Belginm, Scnator Artom from Italy, Chiel Rab- bi Cahin and Baron de Rothschild from France, Sir Julian Goldsmid and Baron ae Worms from Eogland, Baron - de Rothschild and Dr. Jellincke. from Austria, Mr. William Sclig- man from the United States, and a uum- ber of the Jewish clergy. Among the matters wnich will oceupy the atrention of the conference are: ‘The conditivn of tne Jewish suts of the Dauubian principalitics aud of Ru: Moroceo, and Persia; the bLest means for securing industrial and cducational advau- tares stor the Jews of Jerusalem; the adoption of measures for the promotion of Hebrew edu- cation und forthe advauccment of Hebrew literature. The most important subject to be considered i5 a proposition to convelc a r_synml for the purpose of Inquiry into thie condition of modern Judaism and the authoritative exposi- tion of Jewish, ceclesiastical law. Withiu the past few years two synods have beeu held; avowedly for this purpose,-one at Leipzitr, at- tended chicfly by European Jews, and the uther at Philadelphibs; attended exclusively by Amer- ican Jews. The proposition to be considered at the coming conierence is to eall a synod wiich shall represent the Jews all over the world. Since the destruction of the Temple and the dispersion of the Jews there has been no regus lar priesthood nor any recognized ecelesiastical authority, except such as was assumed by the chiel rabbis of the various communities, who frequently differ among themscives. Such chanees and modifications as bave been mado in the Jewish ricual or the Jewish law have been introduceya by the various communities on their own responsibility, and ¢ not recognized by the Jews gencrally. Therefore, 1f such a synod as it is proposed io call could be convened, it would have a powerful effect upon the condi- tion of the Jews everywhere, and it misic result in the establishment of some central rec- ognized ecclesiastical authority which would restore to the synagogue the discipline that it now lacks. Even the most orthodox Jews would pay respectiul attention to the opinion of such 2 Loy, and, indecd, they are in faver of calling the synod. Mr. M. S. [saacs, the Dresident of the Ameriean Board of Jewish Delegates, says in a recent report: There is a choice between an exposition by gkill- ful, learned, competent. authoritative teachers, ex- pounders, and judges of the ecc ical law, ind tne capricions, -unrehiable, ephemeral de- Cisions of mere ofcizls in_a particulac territory, town, or congregation.

DR. PATTON’S CREED. A SERNON FROM THE MODLRATOR OF PRESBYTERIAN GENERAL ASSEMBLY. Neié York IWortd, July 8. The Rev. Dr. Patton, Professor of Didactic and Polemic Theology in the Presbyterian Theological Seminary of the Northwest, at Chicago, aud Moderator of the General Assem- bly, tilled Dr. Hall’s pulpit yesterday. e is a man of medium beight and slender physique. Though past middle life he appears nearly o score of years younger than bereally is. Ilis brown hair and side whiskers are as yet un- sprinkled with gray. He preaches from briel notes. His manner is earnest, and his declivery is marked by frequent gesturcs of the hands, nods of the head, and swaying of the whole body. His voice, though not unpleasantly loud or rough to those near the pulpit, is perfectly clear and distinet. _JIn the pulpit: he wears the gown und cravat. Histextwas Matthew, xxviii., 17, ““And when they saw Him they worshiped Him; but some doubted.” Dr. Patton said there were three kinds of doubters—the philo- sophical, rationalistic, and spirizual. Philo- sophical doubt is a suspension of judgment uu- til the evidence arrives. However, it is not nec- essary that we should refuse to behieve in Christ until we are thoroughly satisfied of [is divinity any more than that we should refuse to breathe until satistied by chemical analysis that the air about is pure. Kationalistic doubt is the with- holding of assent in spitc of the evidence. The Pantheists say that God is not a person, and therefore_cannot reveal Himsclf. 1f we have twelve different clocks, all indicating a different. hour, it is certain that at least elevenare wrong, and all the twelve may be incorrect. Then there may be three hypotheses. The owner of each time-piece may claim that hisown is the only correct une; they may all arree that there is no telling which is right; theymay ascertain by all available means what is the standard. Similar- Ivas there are numberless conflicting moral cudes among men, we are forced to oue of three positions, \We may each say thut there is no telling what_is right, or that there is one singic code that should’ and does regulate all the others. Thus we have reason to believe in the convenience of, if not the necessity for, a reve- Jation. Again, the Pantheists argue, a prior, that nature is unitorm, proceeding slong a line THE of fimte causation; hence, there can be nothiung <upernatural, no miracles. Mew's a priori ar- { zuments in other macters have proved their fal- libility. IHowever, there is a proper -oflice for the intellect in matters of faith. We nced not believe contradictions. We can judge for our- selves whether the Scriptures are of divine ori- min. Men have objected that the Seribturcs were not as plain as the propositions ot Euclid. Ilad they been, where would have been the province of faith? However, the evidence is so cogent that infldelity is unjustifiable. There is an immense probability, if not an ‘absolute cei tainty, that the religion of Jesus is the only true religion; spiritual doubt is the uncertainty expericneed by many as to their conversion. They feur they have not been elected. God, howerer; has given us all the premises necessary for drawing _lesitimate conclusions. He that believes shall be saved. The question is not what God did in eternity, but what we arc doing in time. GENERAL NOTES. The salaries of the Bishops of the Methodist Episcopal Church are $3,000 each per annum, aud an allowance for house reut. The same sum is paid to book sgents and official editors at New Yorl, Cincinnati, and 8t. Louis. Other seditors receive salaries varging from $1,500 to to $2,500. The Springfield (Mass.) Union savs: *‘An carnest and able Christian minister is now doing agood work ina town not many miles from Soringfield on a salary of 3300 a year, $50 of which goes for*house-rent, and all donations from members of the society are charred against this salary account.” = ‘Cne Presbyterian Church South bas declared war acainst the evangelists.

And Fli Porkins® Veritablo Account of tho Astonishing Results They P’roduced. (Corresnonance New York Sun. Loxu ‘Brasc, July 8.—Maybe you think you've secn hot weather in New Yoris, what you call liot weather; but you are mistaken. City people don’t know snything about genuine hot weather. 1f you want to sce geuuine hot weather you must come to Long Branch when the kot wind blows in irom the Jersey shore. You must stand in that sweltering zcphyr which _Folus sends, not from tie ocean or the mount- ains, but which the wind-god blows straight from the melon-patches of Monmouth County. - You must sit in the hot beach-sand and breatho the fiery air which first scorches the horses at the race-track, gatners dust along the highway, then superheats ftself over the broilin grid- irons of the great hotels, and thea pounces down and wafts a zentie flame Into the lunes of the summer visitor. « tlow’s the thermometer to-dxy?” I asked an old fellow, ns hie was roasting peanuts and bak- ing apples and potatoes fn the hot sand infront - of the Ocean Honse. «Thesmometer, sic! Why, there ain’t no thermometers around Long Branch to-day. Don’t you see the wind’s from the shore? Ther- mometers! Why, the mereury bofled over this morning. palled the nails out of the boards,and away floated fifty Long Branch thermowmeters, gails and all, like so many ballocns.” “ You don’t say so!" i w8uy sot I should say [ did. “Why, every- thing dries up bere when the hot wind comes fron: the shore. In one day apoles dry up like butternuts, pumpkins dry up and look like po- tatoes, green corn shriuks to clothes-plus, and waterinelons,—watermelons,—why, d’ you ace that boy peddling cocoanuts over theref” 1told the man I did.. “No you dou't either. 3 putsat all. Them’s dried watermelons. dried up by the heat, and that boy has been fmposin” on the guests of the West End Hotel all day,' selling them poor city people dried watermelons Tor cocvanuts.” : “You dow’t tell me so!” “Yes, sir, L do. Why, it’s so hot and dry here sometimes thata maucan’t open his ‘mouth without baving his tongue dry up and his gums weatlier-cr: il his teeth rattie around and drop out 1 ripe chestoute. 1 gathercd uine galions of dried tecth and weather-cracked cars here in one day, and the next day Geo.

Childs’ friends, for how he did ery when he picked up one tovth, drew a deep ), and said: * Alas, poor Mr. Evarts! I told unn not to go to the Branch. I knew he'd open his mouth and tey to talk against ope of thosc shore winds. Poor man, his_jaw_must have got weather-cracked, and let out his teeth ruzht 10 the middic of ong of those loug seotences of his.

Why, you orter a sced the big tears rattle down_his dry cheeks anua vound sround on the ground like peas!” “ Now, how could tears—iet tears—bound around?” I expostulated. “They wasn’t wet, sir. Mr. Childs gotin 2 drafc of that shore wind, and in tive minutes his eyes dried up like ripe chestnat burrs, and the dry tears cume rattling out hike beans out ot a pod. Poor Mr. Cnildsl But, oh dear!" ex- claimed the speaker, as he put up one hand sud. felt of his ear, “I’7e talked oo long myself to- day. I feel that I've cummenced to dry up, too. Ok, it’s comin’ oa mow. I'm dryin’, dryin’, aryin’—" And in six minutes by the watch the poor man dried up and_shriveled away. He was a mummy,—a New Jersey mummy; and sll be- cause he opered his mouth and exposed himself too long to & Jersey shore brzeze.
