Catholicism in the United States—itidiculous Fears of Protestant Propagandists. To THB EpiTOR OF THE HERALD:—_ Some persons in the United States, like Samuel Ireneus Prime or Dr. Bellows, shouting followers of John Wesley, like tne editors of the Christian Advo- cate in New York, and various other clerical aud evangelical stars in the dark night of inudelity and naturalism, which now, unfortunately, seems closing over this happy land, roll up their eyes with “holy horror” at the progress of “Romanism” in America, and fear that the Pope's foot will yet, if some stop is not put in the way, crush out American liberty and destroy the best government in the world. There never was a greater delusion. It ts true that there were in the United States after the Revolution about 80,000 Catholics, and that Maryland was settled by this sect, and Louisiana, Florida and other States, and that Jesuit missionaries have traversed over North America, and furcner, that during the last forty years over four millions of Catholics irom Ireiand, Germany, France and Italy have landed on oun,siores, and have built churches, and have, with grea industry, sirengthened up the Roman Catnolio Church in tae United States. We behold nearty five iniilions of Catholics in this coun- try at the present tine, With grand churches, great ecclesiastical wealth, @ Mierarchy of. forty-eight basuops, and in a prosperous and growing way. But We look tn vain for American Catholicisin. We can find Irish Catholicism, or German Catholicisin, or French Catholicism, or Itauan Catholicism, but what we want—American Catholicism—we can- why soon mot satisfactorily Und. And The Church was here as and it would seem reasonable lume there stfould be a Ohurch. Certain — influenc und books—during the last forty years have been at work to keep up a@ spirit of caste, to culti- vate Irish Catholicism, or German, opFrencb, but by no means American. These classes have brought across the Atlantic @ great deal of the feudal ex- cesves, traditions and iaillngs caaracteristic of the Old World, entirely unsuited to the iresh air of America, and as soon as they are landed on the Awerican shores this influence is brought to bear on them and 1s kepton them to prevent Americaniza- tion. Hence, uP to this very hour, the Church here has to put herself on the defengive, and feels timo- Tous, and is quite satisfed if leitalone. She appears aa an exotic, and hardly dares to take up the sword of aggression. Emigration from Catholic untries is falling off, and without it the Church, as she 1s now influenced in tbis country, will go back- ward instead of forward. Protesiaatism bas lost the country and Catholicism will not, in her present attjtude, very soon gain it. Infidelity, ritualism, navuralism, paganism will, I: much fear, ratuer than “vopery” Claim this country aud bring about its ruin. Rational Catholicism, orthétox and hold. tng to fundaméntal truth and, at the same time, full of common sense, insisting oa temperance, purity and holiness as the requisite of @ Ouristian tie, and adapting itself, as far aa 19 consistent, to the re- quirements of the age—such a Church couid coaver t America and would preserve American liberty. Nacuraiiam and tnddeitty will, I think, riot over tle corpse of dead Protestantism, and Catnglicism, with folded arms and sorry eyes, will viow tbe work that It Cannot arrest or stop in its dreadful march. WESTERN CATHOLIO The Quakors Not Unbeliovers~The Foxes and Hickses. To Taz Epiror or THe HeRALD:— is this? Some days since one of your religicas roporters— - or, rather, one of your reporters who do up so ad- mirably religious occurrences—placed the Quakers in a wrong lightj as respects their doctrine in refer- ence to the divinity of Christ. There is no religion on the face of the earth whose faith more cicariy aud positively declares that Jesus Christ is the son of God than do the original orthodox Friends and present foliowers of “George Fox,” and wiich to- day constitute probably more than four-fiths of ali that claim to be known by the name of “Quakers” in the woria. Some years ago a minister of that denomination, named “Bilas Hicks," dissented from the doctrine in this respect, which cansed a division in tho Church, and, therefore, the estabushment of a branch or “sect! known as the “Hicksites” (or Hickatte Quakers), and who profess to believe that Jesus Christ was not the son of the “Most High,’ but a man inspired and anointed to the fulfiment of the mission Jor which he was sent and the atone- ment of sins; but their customs, habits and belief, to a great extent, are much or quite the same as the others, but there is no communion between the two, URTHODOX, Tho Papal “Schema” or “Canonos do Ecclesia.” The Rome (Feb. 11) correspondence of the Ob- server (Presbyterian) has the following im regard to the late schema of doctrines lately promulgated at the Papal capital:— Part of the late schema of doctrine, or canones de ecclesia, Which have been lately laid vefore the btn oe paras. ccetines They areon “the ure! ut 4 Culsist Of tyenty-Ohe canons, Bach of tat éhae Wish the Hoth? “Jet niu be ao- eursed,”” This “general cursedness” applies to all who may insist that the intolerance by which the Catholic Church proscribes and damns (daranay) ali religious sects separated irom hey communion ts not of divine right; wi do not believe iu bishops possessing aught ‘save an Office aud iwinistry;’ who do not Lelieve in the right of the Churci to “constrain and force to obedieuce by gaiutary penal- ties; wno believe in any church Saurch of Kome; and fourteen other classes o/ sinners whom Iwillomit, Ail of ua belong Ww several of iuem, The Jows and the Late Pittsburg Christian Convention, (Prom the Jewish Times, of Friday, March 11.)

THE CONGREGATION BAL JESHURUN. Tho Exclusion of the Lato Rev. J. ©. Kra- mer—Tho Action of the Bonrd of Trustees. Tn last Sunday's HERALD a report appeared with reference to the death of the Rev. Mr. Kramer, reader of the Binal Jeshurun congregation, with cominents elicited by fuformation furnished by a member of tue congregation, It now appears that the staternent was erroneous and that the member alluded to was an Individual who has only escaped expulsion on the ground of tnsapity. The rewl facts may be gathered from ihe following statement made oMcially by the trustees of the congregation:— Mr. Kramer was lately re-elected reador (not rabbi) of this congregation. At the time of hia elect! it was known to every member that ho was afilcted with @ painful and incur- able malady that would partially, if not wholly incapacitate him from ¢ HV reg ded his duties.

CORON PLEAS—SPECIAL TERM, A Professional “Naturalizer? Caught in Hie Own Meshes. Before Judge Daly. Mr, Adolph Scheftel, a merchant doing business in Spruce street, appeared before Judge Valy on Friday, for the purpose of having lis naturalization papers perfected. A German of gentlemanly exterior, who gave his name ag Anthony G. Gfrone, and his rest- dence as No, 85 Hester sireet, came forward as one of the witnesses, Whersupon one of the court oficers @t once recognized Ufroue as the identical person who nad been a witness & couple of days ago ina suaiiar case under the name of Miller, ‘Ihe otiicer communicated this fact to Judge Daly, who ques- tioned the alleged culprit closely and found that such was the fact, and that Girone lad no Kuowledge at allof the person applying for ecitizenship, Mr. Scheftel stated to the Jucge that he was teno- rant enurely of the ruies of naturalizanoa; that he bad met Girone in the City Hall, and that on ascertaining wiat he wan.ed he (Girone) said he would become his witness, stating ut the same tine that be was a clerk a @ salary of $1,200 a year and knew Mr, Scheitel well enoagh to avé as his witne: ‘On tunis state of facts Judge Daly rejected the wi ness. In answer to the questioas of the Cour Girone made & statement, from which It clearly ap- peared tut he had no knowiedge whatever of tue other man for whom he had appeared 23 a Witness a day or two previously. ‘The witness was furnished with the name of the man for whom he had becn a witness prior to acting in that capacity tor Mr. Schette!, aud who gave his residence as No, 99 Washington street; bay on goimg there it was dis. covered to bo @ Coal yard, ia which the receutly made citizen had neither @ local habitation nor a name to mdicate him. Yesterday the matter was again brought before Judge Haly, and Girone made an effort to explain his apparently scrauge conduct, He said he bad formerly lodged at 88 Lester street under the naine he now gave, but thas now he is lodging at the Pacific Hotel, 33 Bowery, room 53, under the name of Miler, which was His mother’s name, by woica ho sometimes went, but bis rigat name was Girone. He further added that be was sure bo could fad tie citizen tor whom ho appeared as & Wituess the day or two previous ia some of tue lager beer saloons ob the east aide, and requested the Judge to give him untit to-morrow to search for nim and produce him to show chat he acted jn good faith, Judge Daly granted his request, at the same time inttmating that sbould he fail to produce a more sauisfactory explanation then, such measures would be taken against nim as the law aad tue facts of tue case might warrant. COURT OF SPECIAL SESSIONS. Before Judgea Hogan, McQuade and Scott, The calonder contained the names of thirty-four de- fendants, and included every description of crime that this court could deal with. A LITTLE LBGAL SCENE. (3 John Jobson, @ voy, was charged with. stealing two pieces of brass the property of the Manhattan Brass Company. Mr. Spencer and ily. Meehan ap- peared for the defendant. ‘ Mr. Spencer said that he knew the boy, and also his parents; he beifeved that the laa had not taken Reed.—Defanit opened on nd as seourity, this property, and be would plead not gutty. He Was a boy of good character, he believe M@teplen A. Middlebrook was caled—Said that he did not know of his own knowledge that tie brass had been stolen; he had been told so by some of the men in tue works. He then proceeded to state that the brass belonged to him, Mr. Spencer 18terposed and sald that the brass be- longed to the Manhattan Brass Company. It was go entered in the complaint, Perhaps the Court would allow him to look at the complains, (The complaint was handed to him, and he read the clause stating that the brass was the property of the company.) That company was an incorporation, and the pa- pears were on file inthe Supreme Court, and tue proof of its incorporation must be obtained from these papers, The Court told Mr. Spencer that it would take the evigetiog of the Witness wrespective of the com- plata Mr. Spencer—Now this Court i3 reorganized it Would be quite as well to haye this taing settled. Now, this Cours has no more right to try a case outside the complaint than it has to uy a case of murder. I ain very much surprised that tue As- sistant District Attorney (Mr. Blunt) does nov tell you 80; I am sure the Disirlet Attorney would tell him to do so, You can only have jurisdiction over this case by virtue of this complalnt and the case going before the examining magistrate before it comes here. Now, tt will be absolutely necessary for vnts point to be raised and settled, and I say so with the greatest possivle respect for the court and the Justices on the beach, wo are respecvaule aud and respected, dudge Hogan (to witness)—Wae this property in your care? : Witness—It was, Nr. Spencer-—We have pleaded nos Fony, to steal- ing cortain property, the property of the Menhatian Brass Company, organjzed and forged in the State of New York. That pica has bes given im good \—Is the counsel aware that the Conrt on his motion, and aoop the counsel the wilness an} Mr. Spencer—No, sir. ly, that I will retire from the case and leave the Court to take the responsibility of a conviction, We plead not gulliy to @ complaint, and then, when it is found that won't go, we are asked to auswer the charge of stealing from somebody else, if John Brown 1s not the right compiainant, then John Smith 13 Substituted, aad thus the complaint before the Court 18 to be thrown aside to get a conviction. I say it with respect, but on reflection, that such a course of procedure ig neither based on law nor reason, nor in sense, If this is to be persevered in it would be a subversion of every law kuown in any court, Judza Hogan—The Court decrees that it will net- thor acquit nor find guilty upon anything In the pa pers, buéupon tho evidence given by the witnesses. Witneas then resumed the evidence, in the course of which he named the stockholders of the company and that it was incorporated. Mr. Spencer—Which incorporation is upon tue flo in the Supreme Court? ‘Witness—Yes. ir. Spencer—Then I take exceptions to his giving evidence as to this being his property. ‘The Court went on examining this witness and another maa, but Mr. Speacer toox no fursuer part in the case, ‘The Uourt muspended Judgment on we defendant and he was discharged.

Argument of Counsel For and Against the Ad missibility of the Declarations of Co-conspira- tors as Evidence Against the Defenfant. Tho trial in the case of the United States vs. Wit. Nam Fullerton was resumed yesterday in the United States Circuit Court, before Judges Woodruff and Blatchiord. The cours room was quite as much crowded and the doors open for admission more strong.y besieged throughout the day than any of the previous days of the trial, It was known thas the prosecution had put in alt their direct. tee timony, and that counsel would enter upon argument for ard agamst the admissibility of tne deciaratious of co-conspirators as evidence, and tt Was supposed that such argument would be oon- cluded im time to enabie the Court to render au opinion tuereen, Counsel, however, occupied the whole of the session up to four o'ciock, Mr. Pierre, pout for tue prosecution and Mr. Stuughton for the LEITBN PROM BELENAP TO THN TREASUBY DEPART- ENT.

M. MILITARY CHIT CHAT. Governor Hoffman, as Commander-in-Chief, has dismissed the charges preferred by Brevet Brigadier General John E. Bondix against Major General Alexander Shaler, commanding the First division of the Nationai Guard, ag insuflcient to order a court martial. The Twenty-second regiment is doing splendidly under the command of its new colonel, Josiah Por- ter, and the rifle practice lately inaugarated as one of the regular exercises of the command is still con- sinued.’ On the evening of the 15th inst. the right wiog will drill, and on the evening of the 22d tho left wing. These drills being for instruction only, no porsons not members of the regiment will be per- mitted 1 the galleries or drill room during the hours of drill. Rey. William Neilson McVicker has been oppointed cuaplain of the command, vice Booth, resigned. The Non-commissioned Officers’ Association of the seventy-first regiment is quite a successful one, and bids fatr to outrival its brethzen of a longer growth inashort time. All members of the Seventy-first who have received an honorable discharge, and who in past years have been identified with the regiment a8 non-commissioned officers, can belong to the association, One of tne articles of this most excel- Ient organization provides that on the death of & member aa assessment of one dollar shall be levied upon evtry member, and the total sum of such assessment shail be paid to the family or otner heirs of the deceased. This artice of itself ought to makes the association flourish. ‘The second (8) company of the Seventy-first will, on the eveutag of the 16th ist., give at tueir armory, No. 113 West Thirty-second street, a grand vocal and ingtramental concert im connection with ® two-act domestic drama by the members of the Amateur Dramatic Association of the command. Tho Ninth regiment are to have a full dress prome- nade concert at their armory on the 24 of next month, in the evening. The division driils of this Tegiment have been so far well attended under the command of Lieutenant Colonel Braine and Major Seward. Brigadier General Wilcox’s resignation has been accepted at division headquarters and Lieutenant Colonel Rraine is in command at present. The “Old Guard” will celeprate the anniversary of tho signing of their charter py Governor Hofman by @ parade next month. They will turn out in all the glory of their new uniform of white, scariet and mazarine biue. The Thirty-seventh is somewhat recovering from its old attack of mternal aisorders and vids fair to obtain tts former standing i the militia, Time works wonders, gentlemen. Stick to the uphill work and everything will come out right in the long Tun, A large number of the members of the Seventh regiment who feel sore over the HgkaLp’s revela- tions as to the inuer workings of many of the companies are concerting together so as to prevent any future exposes tn reterence to the command, or ot least squeich whoever may presume to make them. A leadipg spirit among them, in a haranzue to a few of his fellows in caucus the other evening, sald:—“It's wrong to let all these things get in tho papers, for tho reason that ours is the crack regi- ment and a great deal more 12 expected of us than of other regiments. It don't amount to anytning to show up @ dificulty in most of the others, but it hurts us, it does. So any who lets any of our affairs ont oaght to be attenaed to.” itis to be re- gretted that the squelching throats are not all. powerful outside of the regiment. It looks very much as though tho sentiment. expressed by the haranguer, that the Seventh considers Itseli so tar above all other regiments, whose rows “it wouldn't amount to anything to show up,” is almost tuiversal among Ite members. Toat may account for the way they smart under the revelauious already made. MARINE TAAHSFERS. The following {s acorrect list of marine transfers from March 10 to date :— Date. Class. Name.
