THE TEN HOUR LAW, Opposition of Massachusetts Manufacturers to the Passage of the Ten Hour Law. Boston, Aprii 8, 1870, A meeting largely representing the manufacturing interests of Massachusetts was held at the American House to-day in opposition to the passage of the ‘ren Hour jaw now pending before the Legislature. Joel Hayden, of Haydenville, presided. Addresses were made, resolutions adopted, and a committee ap- pointed to watch the legislative action on the snb- Ject. The resolutions claim that itcan be shown by authentic statistics that the average health of all classes of operatives in the manufactures named in the proposed law is as good as prevails among any class of laborers in the State; that these facto. ries are generaily comfortable, well vent. lated, well neated, well lignted and not overcrowded and on tne whole are at least a3 whole- some and healtbfu iplaces for the young as are the majority of the schoolrooms m the State; that the gp time is the most inopportune for such legts- ation as Tpalinebest since manufactures are already depressed and capital is reluctant to embark in any new enterprise lor the employment of labor, while the restrictions tending, as the proposed one does, to ninder capitaLand labor from uniting upon their own terms, wiil still further increase that reluc- tance; that the passage of this law would greatly embarrass the Industrial interests of the State by lumiting the opportunity for extra labor during any temporary increase in the demand for manufactured is, and would throw the sapply of any such de- mand into other States where no such restrictions revall, and thus work incalculable injury alike to jaborer and capitalist, whose interests we believe to be collateral and mgoparable.

Dr. Dix delivered bis concluding lecture on the “Fifth und Sixth Councils of the Catholic Church” last night before a large and fashionable congregation at St, Paul’s church, opposite the HERALD buliding, The reverend lecturer sald:—The Ofth and sixth counolis of the Catholic Church were held in the city of Constantinopie, the former in the year 381 and the latter tn the year 680. Since then there have been no. councils, properly so-called, but a number of conventions, Between the dates of these two councils @ dark and troublous time invervened for the Chureb. The Emperor Constance published a decree forbidding free discussion in matters of religion and doctrine. Scrat a& bishop of Rome, opposed this decree and the result may be easily guessed. He was seized and sent into exile, th whieh he died, Other bishops surered much aiso, some having their tongues cut out and others being mutilated in various ways. The sixth council is particularly tmportant, as it bears directly upon the question of mfalliubiiity, At that council Honorius, who Was @ pope from 626 to 638, was condemned and anathematized for heresy, together with six bisuiops wuo liad joined him. The new doctrines which he held and taught were characterized as damnable heresy” by the council. And now it 6 urged upon the Council assem- bled in the Vatican at Rome wo decree and make it dogma of faith that the suceessor of Honorius is infallible m all things per- taming to Catholic doctrine. And even the personal {nfailibuity of the Pope is demanded to be made a matter of faith. But those demands are strenuousiy resisted by the most learned of the Catuolic bishops from ali the countries represented at the Council, and it is to be hoped that tueir opposition will pe successful, But some affect to believe that Honorius was not anathematized, and others that he wrote hurriedly, thus trying tO bring him cut ciear, But that Honorius was condemned for heresy 13 4 plain historical fact. He was anathematized for heretical doctrines by three different councils, and by a num. ber of popes, among whom were Leo XJ, and Adrian X1._ Lf Honorius was a heretic what, then, became of papal infalitotlity? Or if he were not, Low does it, then, stand with the popes and bishops who con- démned him? ‘They must have been fallible and have erred, if he had not. Thus the htstory ot the popes would appeal against the decreeing of the proposed dogma of iofailibiuty. ‘To tell us thau his- vory warrants the declaration of this dogma by the Koumenical Council is to take us for fools and treat us a3 such. And if the question of tnfallibiiity be settled by the Council favorably to the wishes of the Ultramontanes it will prevent all Catholics from looking apy more to the Vatican for broking or regarding the papacy as the centre of Catholic unity. And this would do an infinite amount of good. It would conduce to the union of all Catholic sects upon the broad platform of com- mon Chrigtlanity. But the gatucring of the bishops now at me was & council, god had no power to prociaim dogmas of faith. When the , sixth council closed at Constantinople ecumenical councils came to an end Faith and = aoctrine were then made tull and perfect. In that age councils were truly powerful, because bishops sat there as equals, Bui since these days there have been no bishops, because the Pope is said to rule and hold jurisdiction im every diocese, What is now sitting at Kome is not # council, but @ synod, because it does not em- brace the whole of the Catholic Church. And re- garding the question of infaliibility, pistory looks upon 1¢ as altegether novel, and reason rejects it as absurd. What we want is a full counct! of the whole entire Church, and to 1ts decrees we will give humbie obedience. THE SUN AND SOLAR PHENOMENA. Lecture by Miss Marin Mitchell.

A comparison between the sun, moon and stars resulted in the in- ference that there was much more to be learned from observations upon the former.than upon its satellite or the stars. Women were peculiarly fitved for tis exercise, because taey had more time upon their hands than men, and because their organiza- tion was much more sensitive.

One lady itving near the Kew Observatory, London, used the spectroscope daily and photographed the result. At Vassar Coliege Such observations were regularly exercised. ‘The danger to the sight was considerable from fixed gazing on the juminary, out by the use of colored giasses—the evepieces by Dawes were the besi— and by the exercise of some care no inconvenience | could possibiy arise. jalilco and Arago had, no doubt, died blind, aud Sir W.

The Poople of Jersey City Take the Remedy in Their Own Hands—Nomination of Honest Men—Gangs of Repeaters to Go from Now York—Threats of New York Bowdies—No Boulevards, In the report of the republican convention of Jer- sey City, published in yesterday's HERALD, It was Stated that the Citizens’ Association aetermined to Shake off all the oMce-hunters and corrupt poltti- clans, and nominate men of known integrity for the OM1:e8 to be filled on the ist of May. The following ticket was accordingly drawn up as the people’s ticket:—Mayor, Charles H, O'Netil; Water Commis- sioners, Aineas Fitzpacrick, Henry, Fitch, G. D. Van Rer en; School Superintendent, Fernando Pytpam; Poilce Comistsaleners, Augiist Ingwersén, George Glaubrecat, Hugh McKay; Police Justices, Thomas Aldridge and Daniel Bowley. The foregoing ticket comprises repubitcans, democrats and taependents, Tne consummate foliy of the revublican convention In rejecting the compromise ticket drawn up by @ joint commitiee on behall of the Citizens’ Assocta- Hons and the convention is commented upon very sevérely by republicans, as they had an opportunity to carry the city; but that Se Psahy Was thrown away.
