BS 6 EUROPE. The Grand Religious Struggle Between Rome and Lutheranism. Military Celebrations in North Germany and Sonth German Plan of Confederation. Austrian Isolation and Alteration of the Map. The German mail steamship Hermann, Captain Yon Sauten, from Southampton July 21, arrived at thie port yesterday afternoon, bringing @ mail re- port in detail of our cable telegrams dated to her day of sailing. The King and Queen of Sweden arrived in Berlin on their way to Muskau (in Lusatia). The Kreutz Zeitung, of Berlin, denies the truth of the rumor that the Czar has invited the Emperor Na- poleon to Kissengen. ‘The Oficial Gazette, of Carlshrue, states that the Baden government, while recognizing in principle the utility of concerting in common the means for the defence of Southern Germany, in connection with the general plan for the whole country, has not thougiit that its duty required it to aocept the invita- ‘hon of Bavaria to participate in a military conference ofthe Southern States, + The London workingmen’s political demonstration held in Hyde Park on Sunday, July 19, reported by cable in the HERALD, is thus noticed in the London letter of the following day:— A section of the Clerkenwell workingmen, uncon- nected either with the Reform League or the Work- Ingmen’s Association, held a demonstration in Hyde Park yesterday. A procession some thousands strong was formed on Clerkenwell Green and pro- ceeded to the Park, where addresses were delivered to the people by several speakers. Later in the day ®@ conservative meeting was held on the same spot; @ Mr. Charles Silk took the chair, A gentleman named Whitbread, who hailed from the neighbor- hood of Croydon, took the initiative in Spee od ceedings and promised that the meeting should re- ceive “good tidings’ from the subsequent speakers. The “good (ron pee eared to be that tory candi- @ates would be elected for the various metropolitan boroughs. . The Gazette de France seizes on the occasion offered by the late speech of M. Jules Simon against M. Drury’s mode of directing education in France to dilate on the necessity of having superior instruction eniirely free in order that the clergy might gradually creep in and train up the rising generation as they pleased. Letters from Rome state that the Holy See is dis- posed to recommend to the Austrian bishops an at- titude of conciliation towards the State government, and in particular that they should avoid all steps which could be considered as an inference in politi- ‘al affairs or in the business of the imperial oMcers. It is stated that negotiations will shortly be com- menced for the conclusion of @ commercial treaty between Switzerland and China. A general agricultural report of the condition of the harvest in the continent of Europe says:— ‘The harvest in the south of France is terminated. ‘The fears which had generally prevailed have been dissipated and the result is better than was expected. ‘The crop, which tn certain localities of the Var was sapposed to be in great jeopardy, will be abundant. At Angiers reaping is going on everywhere and farm- ers seem to be well satisfied. The yield will be large, although the quality leaves something to be desired. At Montihery the sickle is also in the corn and the crop will be good. Letters from Normaudy give the greatest hopes, and on several points the product will be above an erage. Similar accounts are received from the east of France. In Hungary the harvest is advancing rapidly; great plenty is united to excellent quality, ‘That country has still in its gaanaries, wheat of last year's crop, and prices are consequentiy failing. hroughout Germany also there is great abundance efgrain. In Belgum wheat is almost ready every- where for cutting, and the crop is fine in every re- ape FRANCE. The Religious Situation on the Continent—Re- view of the Contending Powers of Catho- Melty Protestantism—Napoleon as a Churchman—Church and State—Belicf and Reason. Panis, July 12, 1868, Since my last two events of much significance have occurred in Europe. The Catholics have celebrated at Kome the twenty-third anniversary of the election of the Pope, and the Protestants have erected with much display a monument at Worms to the great reformer, Luther. The Pope is upwards of seventy- six years of age. Only Ave Popes have ever reigned jonger; and as none except St. Peter reached weventy-elght years, it is not to be expected that he will live much longer. He received the congratula- tions of the cardinals with his usual benignity, an- nounced to them his intention to summon for the &th of December next the grand Ecumenical Conncil; and although he enjoined it upon them to pray that Rome might henceforth hold by religion what ehe has heretofore heid by arms, he could not Jorivear denouncing the recent action of Austria in granting freedom of the press and equality of rights W al! religions. The Protestant festival was celebrated by a dis- course from the great divine Dr. Hoffman and ad- drevses from many otbers, and Was honored by the attendance of the two Protestant kings of Prussia aud Wurtemberg and the three Protestant Dukes of Baden, of Hesse and of Saxe-Weimar. The services ou both of these occasions, although religious, were closed with salvos of artillery, sadly suggesting that in the present age of great armies, as in the time of the Keformation, the prayer of peace may have its eclioin war, The French papers notice a monument erected to Cobden sbout the same time as that to Luther, ert it to be @ just tribute not from England alone, but from the age, to the tdea persont- fied in Covden of a civilization based on peace and Mber of sound views in political cer nore econ cology. Thus, while the Catholic Teligion, in callit yustantly upon the heart for faith, has t ue ‘vative as to be the syste- Matic opponer itieal advance, and Protestantism, tn ise of the reason a weil as pew t by retaining what is good and disc « is bad to reconcile progress with stability, there has grown up & materialistic phitosophy, with faith in nothing that #8 established that du have for tts tapreme ob- urely piysical well bel mr mof ten mid —"AL two very an isan twidel aud a republican ifty, after waving seen sorrow and acquired property, he becomes conservative and believes in a God.” ‘This fo true wiso Of the youtus of te German universities, except tual as inidelity in Germany is more of the echovis (naa of the salons, tt 1s not #0 easily laid aside with the advance of years as in France; it has infected German Protestantism with ® rationalisin that hus nothing of Christianity but the name. It Professes to hoi as sacred, but not as divine, the ordiwances of both Catiolicism and Protestantsta, but it, i fact, is the most dangerous enemy of both. It ridicules the Catholics a8 sayiig, “believe and do hot reason,” and the Protestants as saying, “reason, Wall meaus reason, but belleve as Mf you did got om |? M.

Cousin, writ img tie year before his deati and thanking the e@uthor for a volume of his “Keiigious Meatiations,”’ says:—“Keligion and phiiosophy sould 4 with- Out being antagonistic.

We digered about what was religion and what was phil , their origin and their nature, and con- sequently ag to their sphere and works; but we agreed they should both be free. Consin died Josh zee , and Jules Favre, the former secretary to Ledru Rollin in the provisional govern- ment and the present chief of the republican party in the Legislature, was elected in his place a mem- ber of the Institute, Jules Favre's address on the occasion was extremely eloquent, but no one could tell on reading it wi he understood to be the re- q opinions of Cousin or what were his own. Gulzot is now quite advanced in years, but active, ‘and seen on all occasions of Protestant celebrations in Paris. He attends the funerals of former friends, and, according to the French custom, makes a speech at their graves. He isa man of pure morality, and with his tine classic face and rather precise but wide- bottle greck ‘oloth coat, ‘peanuts an eoraionis ‘0 presents an of the French gentleman of the old school. ‘id The sete at Worms was political as well a3 The presence of the King of spoke Ger- man unity, but except among the divines who sought to give to the cocaslon a religious character, 60 general has been the spread of Cousin’s rather than Guizot’s spinions, that it is questionable if the great mass of those who attended were not more enthusiastic over the , ponent consequences of the Folceaa enw acts than establishment of a new re- he Pope's denunciation of the reforms in Austria Tead strangely in the light of the nineteenth century and his words are published in all the irreligious papers as the best argument against a connection elween Church and State, and yet the spread of in- fidelity through Austria has been so rapid of late 4s almost to justify the suspicion that they have been prom, a8 much by hatred of the Church as by their intrinsic merit. They establish liberty for il opinions—liberty of the press and liberty to open Schools and colleges of any persuasion. Literature and science ant Schools and school books are under the inspection of the State. But what is most “odious” in the eyes of the Pope and to which he applies the term “abominable,” they suppress all ecclesiastical tribunals on the subject of marriage and recognize as valid any civil marriage, although condemned by the Church; declare that sons born of a mixed marriage shall follow the father and Songhters the mother, make apostacy a mere matter of civil law and take the cemeteries from under the authority of the Church and allow all Pry el re pores in them. In view of ese cl organic law of Austria and the continued troubie in Italy it is not surprising that the good Pope, who began his reign amid the tumults of 1848, and has only been sustained in his temporal wer by the military ald of France, should desire fore closing his career to have the assistance of the great Ecumenical Council to protect his spiritual power from the attacks of which itis the subject. Accordingly special messengers have been sent with the official summons for the Council to meet at Rome -on December 8, 1868, and the various sove- reigns in whose dominions reside the bishops are Prayed to aid them in being present at this “work of jety.” It is circumstance that Mr. de ulhfleld, a celebrated advocate of Vienna, who was the chief author of the Austrianjaws, died on thesame day of their TOMA HOR He was fifty-six years of age and reputed to 4 natural son of Napoleon I., whom he greatly resembled. The Church at first re- fused to celebrate his funeral, but the State insisted, and while the people were prevented making the oc- casion a 7éte it was the first practical application of the new laws. Every country in Europe, even now, except Russia and Turkey—Turkey will soon—and the Papal domi- nions have an elective assembly of some sort—that ig at least @ nominal recognition of the right of the people to be consulted in the enactment of the laws that govern them; and the smoke of the battle fleld of Sadowa had scarcely cleared away before these bodies were called together to adjust inatters to the new order of events. Since that they have been so hard at work that if 1848 is called the year of revolu- tions, that of 1868 may with justice be termed the year of Parliamentary assemblies. In Prussia there ‘Was first its own assembly, that Bismarck treated with so much contempt; then that of the Federal Union, and afterwards that of the Zollverein, Two of these are still in session, but will adjourn this week to meet next October and continue until Christmas, Before such continued labor Bismarck’s energy gave way, and he has been obliged to seek re) on his estates in Pomerania. in Austria there has been the Hungarian Diet at Pesth and the national one for the entire kingdom at Vienna, which has just adjourned after a sessicn of thirteen months. The Assembly of Italy is still in session. That of France, after laboring for eight months, does not yet 8) of adjournment. ‘The newly acquired right of discussion is certainly ap- preciated. In Berlin they have proposed that the Members should rise and speak from thein seats as in the United States, to prevent the reading of long set 8] ‘hes from the tribune. A member of the French ‘hamber (Jules Simon) has just published a volume of three hundred » containing the epeeches he has already le this session. Another member last week was taken from the tribune almost in a dying condition from over exertion. But, in spite of Much talking, never before in Europe have so many and great practical reforms been effected ta the same same space of time. in addition to itis office of Jegisiation in September next there will moet soveral international c which will discuss thec- retically measures for future reforms with as much zeal as if able to enforce their resolves. The Work- men’s International Co will meet at Brussels on the 2d of September, that of Peace at Berlin on the 16th of September, and later in the month the Eng International Congress meets at Liege, in jum. In Turkey there is no Legislature, but there 1s 9 Council of State, copied from that of France, and the Sultan, to keep up with the movement in Euro) granted a month ago to other faiths the same te with Mussulmans In holding office under his govern- ment, and took into his cabinet as Vizier, with the titie of Marshal, an educated Christian and man of talent, Davod Pacha. To-day the Moniteur am nounces the — connected with ano- ther t reform of the Sultan. It says:—"‘Under a new law granting the right to foreigners to hold real estate in the Ottoman empire, the Princess de la Tour d'Auvergne, a citizen of France, having bought portion of land on the Mount of Olives, made sa- cred by the communion in prayer of Christ with hic disciples, has generously ti ferred the same to the Emperor's government.” Heretofore @ cemetery at Constantinople, in which were buried the missionaries and engineers who went out civilize the East, was the only spot of - the’ title of which was actually held abroad. Inder the new reform it 1s diMcuit to concetve the revolution that is about to be quietly effected. It is not too much to expect that in less than a genera- tion Constantinople will be owned by European Christians. The Emperor Napoleon observes the forms of the Catholle religion, and without being a devotee, has by his protection of the Pope conctliated the Church. The Empress is devout, and the young Prince, after receiving instruction froma priest, who has since been advanced to great dignity, took his first com- Tmunion the past spring, with the Pope as his god- father. in is4s the clergy of France were legiti- mists and their subsequent alliance with the empire has been one of convenience and net of affection. They have never forgotien that Napoleon L, besides the Pope, brought at one time into France from Italy thirteen cardinals and nineteen bishops, and although the present Emperor restored the present Pope to power in 1848, it Was after he had been first driven out by fis cousin, Lucian Bonaparte, Prince of canine, The Emperor, however, while he admits the ciergy to the exercise of every right that they have ever enjoyed since 1759 and has even advanced them In dignity and intuence by giving the bishops @ place in the French Senate similar to that held by the bishop of the English Churet in Parliament—he SUll preserves (othe state that independence in the contro! of public struction and science that the Pope has declared to be so “abomimabie’ in Austria. His present Minister of Instruction, Mr. Durny, Is the moat liberal in sentiment of all the members of his Cabinet; bat, as he hax had to lusure full liberty of lustruciion and investigation, and yet guard both the empire and the Church from attack, bis task has been @ very dimcuit one. Last month nearly all the bishops attacked him be- cause he authorized the instruction of females in the higher brauches by male professors, which they con- sidered destructive of public morality, and the past week he ts censured by the anti-Church party be cause he has exciuded from a echool library George Sand’s earier novels, “Indiana,” “Leia” and “spiridon,” and EKuyéne Sue's “Mysteries of Paris” and “Wandering Jew.’ Mr. Endan, the italian correspondent of the Tempae— the organ of the extreme radicals in France and for which Louts Blane writes from London—has just pub- lished asketeh of the Italian cardinals from whom the next Pope must be chosen, and has much sur- prised bis friends by stating that while there are at ieast twenty prelates in Rome whose lives are a a! to the Church, that the Pope ts realiy a good and that in general the clergy are more pure in their lives than is beileved, He says the next Pope Will be Guidi, a Dommican monk, or Pannebiano, Sicilian. Guidi is the ablest man, but Pannebtano the greatest intriguant and likely to be successful. Parties under the different governments of Europe Make less (han formerly, religion the ground of dif- ference, and yet there {gs not one of the nations of Kurope whose policy, both domestic and foreign, is hot aifected by the creed of its subjects, and under ail of them, except in the Papalkdominions and Rus- sia, controversy is allowed. The Pope is now too feeble to do more than excommunicate or exile an Apostate; bat in Hussia the power of the Emperor as head of the Churel to defend ite orthodoxy is as ue orous a in the middie ages, and the Poles in Pari & siatemenia of the persecutions to which the ‘atholics in Poland ave subjected by the Russian jule which are heartrending in the extreme.

Our national regeneration, if it succeeds, has to take another start than from the battlefields of Chlum and Sadowa. The Bund Council, which fs stillin activity, and will not adjourn until the middie of the present month, has passed the provisional trade bill by 42 btm against a single no, coming from the duchy of lecklenburg Schwerin, Its effect is to free a num- ber of vocations from chicensry of the police and from licenses heretofore requisite. An honest shoe- maker, though a journeyman and not a master, nay henceforth accept an order for and furnish a good air of boots without being hauled up and fined five jhalers for trespassing upon the privilege of masters. A bill to secure to the Germanic Museum at Nuremberg an annual support from the Bund did not receive a favorable consideration, while another for the regular transport of troops along all the railroads within the North German Confederation ‘was accepted. . The excessive ctongns which, especially in the famous East Prussian districts, prevailed during the whole month of June has so much injured the grain and potatoes that another season of distress and famine is predicted. In Masuria it froze on the nights of the 19th and 20th ult, after three days’ extreme heat. The government is quite rigorous in collecting taxes, and, moreover, has sent some troops to be uartered in Masuria and Lithuania notwithstanding the fact that neither farmers nor keepers of tavernas have a suficiency of provisions for their own use. A treaty is on the tapis between England and Prussia respecting the coast fishery in the Baltic and North seasa similar one having been concluded be- tween England and France. In this latter the right of fishing within three miles (sea miles) from the coast is reserved to the respec- tive countries, Prussia has heretofore maintained that the coast fisheries should extend their limit a3 far as acannon shot might reach from the shore, and now contends that in the case of the Baltic Sea, where the water ata three mile distant is only seven toeight feet, whereas in England and France it 1s from thirty to forty feet, a diferent basis should be found whereon to come to an agreement, and so the matter remains in statu quo. Last Thursday there was a renewed trial of Prus- sian ordnance in order to compare it once more with the lately victorious Armstrong. This time prismatic powder Was used, and it turned out that the cast steel ninety-six pounder threw @ solid shot of 308 ands with a greater velocity than the nine-inch rmstrong gun its 227 pound projectile. This ad- vantage of the Krupp gun was still more apparent in fring unloaded grenades of 267 pounds, and its precision is allowed to have exceeded that of the Armsirong. The report of this unexpected result needs confirmation, and another trial, fixed for the = part of next week, will decide the open ques- tion, The fact of a deficit in the North German budget of nearly three million thalers in sx months is the sub- ject ofa cartoon in the Berlin Punch.

Ifthe unity of the empire nol ir exists in fact it does in name, and that is still something gnined for the Hungartans, The Prussian journals of the latest date show & marked desire to draw closer to Austria, and those of the latter empire respond in the same tone. As @ proof we have a few lines of an article published by he New Free Press of Vienna. After remarking that Prussia would see herself obliged to Jean on Russia if Austria, blinded by politica! vitterness, shoeld form an alliance with France to resume the supremacy in Germany, that journal adds:—“If Prussia offers us her friendship frankly, honorably and without after- thought, with # little prudence on both sides the Ort- eutal question could reunite what the German one separated.

A telegram from Madrid, dated July 20, denies in the most positive manner the truth of the above statement. A letter from Madrid, in the Courrier de Bayonne, fa “The Ministry, now that it has turned aside the danger with which tt beliaved the throne of Queen Isabella menaced, is occupied with proving, by Its manner of acting, that if some superior off- cers have allowed themselves to be led So far as to abandon the flag to which they fidelity, the army does not share thi sent ments and that the devotedness of the sol- diers to the reigning dynasty has undergone no atteration.

Losses In the Battle of Caracae—General Bruzuals Position and Movemente—The New Cabinet—A New National Party in fr Curacoa, W. L., July 16, 1868, Recent information reduces considerably tha amonnt of loss in the late battle at Caracas, A semi-oMicial bulletin issued from the Federalista office gives these figures as the total loss sustained on both sides in the whole three days’ fighting:— Killed, 311; wounded, 704; total, 1,015. This, how- ever, does not include many non-combatants killed nd wounded, among whom were several females, The force under Monagas amounted to 3,300; that under Bruzual was about 2,000, The logs of life was much heavier on the side of the revolutionisis— some say outnumbering that of the Falconists five toone. General Pana was among the killed. The conduct of the revolutionary troops is said to have been excellent, the fighting was most gallant, and poe property respected as much as possible un- er the circumstances, is Bruzual has returned to Porto Cabello. He got but little help in Basquisimento, that province hay- ing already “accepted” the revolution. Feeling. pro- bably, that something must be done, he has declared a blockade of the port of ayra, and sent the gunboat Bolivar there to enforce it. I understand the foreign iiplomatic corps in Caracas has pro- tested against this act, and rumor here even goes 80 fur as to say that our Chargé d?Affaires in that city had gone to St. Thomas to ask the assistance of & couple of American war vessels; but for this there is no foundation, In the meantime Monagas 1s marchMg on Porto Cabello. Buzual has there but a few hundred men. In case of aconfitct he may be captured; but it is more probable that we shall have him tn this island, to condole with his companions in misfortune, gone before the Falcon, Pa- chano and the illustrious Gil, ‘The new administration seems to give great satis- faction in Caracas. The personnet is it is com- Goo posed of men of ability and honesty, who, it is to be hoped, if continued in power, will elevate the moral standard of the country, degraded to the lowest depth by a five years’ rule of thieves and cutthroate. Ohe of the first steps of the government is the organiza- tion of a militia system; another is the dismantling of the petty fortifications along the coast. These in a foreign war would be perfectly useless, and as they are now are only @ constant bone of contention for the rival factions. Mr. Luis M. Dias has been appointed Consnl and confidential agent of the Venezuelan government in this island. So far, then, the “blues,” or “genulsos,” are tri- umphant. There only remains Bruzual, in Porto Cabello, to be disposed of, and Sutherland and his crew to be driven out of Maracaibo. Let us hope that good results will flow from the new order of things. In one respect this revolution 18 somewhat pesrsien in Spanish-American affairs, It has had the ‘arty concurrence of many of the best men in Vene- zuela, belonging to ail the old parties. This augurs well for the carrying out of its promised plans, Un- fortunately, however, we can do little more than hope for the best, for the history of South Amertcan revolutions has but too often frustrated the wishes of all friends of constitutional liberty. ST. DOMINGO. The Very Latest News—Baez’s Report of an English Loan. CuRACOA, July 15, 1868, By the arrival rig the schooners Carolina and Dos Amigos from St. Domingo we have received news that the government troops commanded by General Valentin Ramirez Baez, which were operating against the revolution in the South, were entirely beaten. General Brighman, the principal general of Baez, was kilied.

The last reherres! of “Poul Play” was held at the New York theatre last evening, and everything con- Nected therewith gives encouraging promise of suc- ces to the new management.

THE PRESIDENT OF THE SOCIETY FOR THE PREVENTION \OF CRUELTY T0 ANIMALS ON HORSE FLESH AND DIET. New York, June 20, 1868, Tacknowledge, with many thanks, the receipt of your excellent periodical, the Herald of Health, and along With it a friendly note relating to horse flesh as @ human aliment. On reading the latter one would assume that we differ widely on the subject; and yet I have the advantage of completely agreeing with you, in the abstract. I, believe, as you do, that the abolition of the use of the flesh of all animals would result in physical and moral improvement to our race. Having been in countries where meat is rarely if ever eaten, and having observed the superior endurance of fatigue as well as gentleness of character of the Inhabitants, I feel convinced that the slaughter of dumb animals and the a vouring of their flesh account for the lai share of the moral and physical diseases Which a! mankind. T bave had an Arab of the desert ran be- hind my horse a distance of twelve miles without ; t sign of fatigue, and tue c r tasted meat.

The following passage from @ sermon on “The Duty and Office of a Priest,” by Rev. Dr. Morgan Dix, of this city, is copied from the Protestant ter the sacrament of regencration, whereby men are grafted into the mystical body of Christ; it is his to hear the confession of the sinner, and, by that power which the Lord Jesus hath left to His Church, to de- clare and pronounce to such sinner, truly repenting and unfeignediy believing, the absolution and re- mission of his sins. And, finally, to rise at length to that view and prospect of our vocation at which flesh and heart fat! and in which the loftiest function of the sacerdotal office 18 revealed, it belongs to the priest, a8 such, to stand in his own right at the altar and there to resent and accompany the work of his Lord in Heaven, * * * If there be no re- neration in baptism; if there be in the Holy jucharist no mystery requiring the operation of supernatural power to its accomplishment, wiy Should not any devout and godly man minister will us In the one or in the other?” He then goes on to admit that the exclusion of non- Episcopal ministers argues ‘a want of charity’ and “a want of reason,” unless the Church holds to the sacramentarian and sacerdotal views Wiich in this passage he so candidly propounds, The B’nai B'rith Society. New York, July 30, 1863, To THE Eprron or THE HRERALD:— Your editorial in Tuesday’s [enap on the B'nai Prrith Society conveys, unintentionally, a wrong im- pression when it states that the order is now open to persona of allereeds, The fact is that the order nev, as formerly, and since ita original imstitution twenty-five years ago, is based a the principles of Judaism, and only those who subscribe to the tenets ef the faith of Israel can be members thereof. All men who knock at our doors for admission may. be admitted if they thus give in their adhesion. This is the sine qua non. The society was instituted to bring about a union of the discordant elements in the camp of Judah, to diasolve the artificial barriers of nationality and to unite Israelites for oe of charity and enlightenment on the broadest basis of Judaism—Judaism disenthralled, emancipated and progressive, The order is purely benevolent and literary and has no political bearing whatsoever. Pan-Prenbyterianism. ‘The Presbyterian Union seems not to be 80 much of a cordial union after all, It appears that a new element—whether of harmony or of discord remains to be seen—has been thrown into the discussion. ‘The first article of the terms of reunion adopted by the late General Assemblies defined the doctrinal basis of union. The article is somewhat cumbrous, It first makes the Scriptures the basis of doctrinal bellef. It then, secondly, accepta the confession of faith as Properly ex essing the sense of the Scrip- tures, It then, thirdly, in Dr. H. B. Smith’s amend- ment, defines the interpretation of the confession, Mmiting it to its “Caivinistic or reformed sense,’ and, fourthly, this last limitation is itself in limited by the Gurley amendment, which allows all the peculiarities of the Old and New School theolo- es to be Calvinistic or Reformed. This sys em of checks and balances is not satisfac. tory, especially to many of the Uld School, The Pittsburg circular~ proj to do away with ail these explanations of the confession of faith, and adopt that simply as expressing the system of bibli- cal doctrine. The leading Old School pers—The Presbyterian, The Banner, The Presbyter and The Northwestern F ian—are out in favor of this change. Only The Observer objects to the delay, The fnporvant Presbytery of Philadelphia has just endorsed the pi ition, and unanimously rejected the plan of union. The New School papers, on the other hand, generally oppose the cha as hazard- ing or delaying the desired reunion. It now seems probable that ‘enough of the Old School presbyteries will reyect the Boos plan to delay union for another year. Still, those who are thus acting clatin to be earnest friends of union and that it will not be delayed beyond a singie year, and that the plan of the Pitepary circular will be far more agreeable tuan the present one to minor Presbyterian bodies, About a State Religion. The Independent remarks that it has often been charged that the legislation of the State and of the city of New York is quite partial to Roman Catholics, It is now charged that a similar partiality is shown to the Protestant Episcopal denomination by tie national government.
