Smm—in the number of the HERALD pablisbed last jonday, September 18, an article appeared charg- g the Catnolic Church with being indifferent, and Even opposed, to the welfare and progress of the orking classes. This accusation you brought at he same time against all other congregations cail- Ing themse:ves tne Charches of Christ. Of these Jatter and of their conduct, tendency and influence Ham not competent to judge, but of the Cathouc Church aliow me to say a few words. The Catholic Church is emphatically the Charch of bhe peuple, of the poor, of the oppressed. Her object Is to raise the lowly, to educate the ignorant, to en- courage the timid. Her schools, sel!-supported, are mumerous and eiicient; her institutions of charity, exiending over ali the various wants of the poor and meeting all their exigencies—irom the orphan Bnd tne founding to the = failen but repentant woman, and the aged, helpless pauper—are a wonder even to this age, jbo aveustomed to marvels. Excepting three or four of the many Catholic churches in New York, Bll are devoted to the poor. In the districts and wards where poverty is most repulsively apparent Me churches are more densely strewn than else- where. Go to any one of them, at the early services, from five o'clock im the morning wo eight, and you | pill tind tue building crowded to excess, the altar Fails lined with communicants, whose closely press Ing fies will relieve each other five and ix and athe times, til the very priests must be physically Weary of administering te holy sacrament. You wil see associations of men (workinginen) volun laily banded together agaiast vice and intempe- rance, under the saving influence of the Church; Associations of women (working women), whose Duject 18 to deck the aliars in a secmiy manner for the outward honor of the Church of their fore- Vaihers; you Wil! find taat tne treasurer, te trustees mud) ali other persons officially empioyed In the service of the parish are working- en, or tavse who from workiugmen have ‘aised themselves into masters ani eimployers in tetr respective trades; you will find, at ail umes, Wwe call oO; Lhe masses for the priest, i sickness or In sorrow, promptly responded to; the priest's house Hillea with poorly clad women seeking and finding reliel; une people in cluse comu asior and deeply interested in the local avairs of fi ar parish. ‘at from the Catholic religion having been Mace “geuteel and sastiouanie, ‘a thing of slate, form and luxury,’ it has ever been and 1s LOW fliogether moulded on the sympathies, the wants, the capanilities of the people. Iu no Catholic churen, buve Cwo or three in this city, will vou encounter a face that is not marked by toil, or nouce even a cos- Yume that bears evidence of refined taste and un- limited means. Why are Catholic sermons so piain, Bo downrigit, but that they may ve understood by the poor’ Why are Catholic churches fuil of pic- tures and statues but tuat these objects may heip Uie wandering mind of some worshipper to Whom reading 13 an exertion? From what class come tne majority of the Cathottc priesthood ¢ nN for her so- pe. You excuse the Catholic Cr called opposition to the masses, because you Bay “her head ciaims to be @ monarch, d to rule by dive right, because r uerarciy wn aristocracy and her system is based ou the wiple of absviute Obedience.’ it is because her Head 18 # king anointed of God that she Churcn of the people, the Churenh of the poor. Ciaims no hereditary honors; he is cuosea by tion; his mission does not come jrow au ancestral rivilege Or a prescriptive right Of Hiood; he often S@ peasant by birth, he son Of a Workingman. It 3s happened in the history of the Vapacy that bo shoud sometimes be a humble aud obscure ior Does this savor of Opposition to the people? ‘copes aud the Church are opposed to no one, save the fallen angels; opvosed Ww novhing, save siu aud Triumphant w.ckeduess.

It tll becomes @ respectabie orgaa ot the yo of a great country to reproach the Catholic Shurch with her loyal adherence to order and estab- shed custom, for even as late as last July what would have become of this city of New York had the Churen biindly ranged herseif on the side of the miaguided people? No; the Churcn 1s on the side of peace, of justice, of truth, of law, an‘, entirely irre- spective of persons, she brands with her displeasure the disvurbers of nations and the violators of rignt, be they emperors or demagogues, nobles or pea- sants, But the side of peace is the side of the peo- le, though sometimes the people know it not. ‘The oMce of the Church is, then, to pune out taeir error to them, The heart of the poor can- not long be alienated from the Catnolic Churcn. It turns to ber as a natural friend and protector, and what if it turns to her sometimes as 4 prodigal come home, as a publican confessing is sins in the far-off shadows of the temple? This only shows the supernatural influence of the Church 1n a stronger lignt, and gives yet clearer evidence of her invincible powers of persuasion. I have trespassed too long on the patience of your readers on & point so well known and so often dis- cussed, yet I could not stand by in silence and see the accusation of indifference to the ple flung against a Church which I know to be the very home and bulwark of the poor. A better answer than mine hes close to you; ask the workingmen and tolling women of this crowded city if 1 have not stated the truth; go to the nospitals, the prisons, the tenements, the asylums of New York and sec ior yourselves whether the only influence worth mentioning is not that of the Catholic Church; go to the churches of the Catholic persuasion at early morning, and see the masses of the working popu- lauion cluster round the altars, and then say, in the face of the world, that the Catholic Church ts not ‘the Church of the people, 18 not the Chureh of the poor, the ragged, the destitute and Late ie COLUMBA, Shall Mormonism be Longer Tolerated ? To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:— I read with deep interest your correspondence from Utah about Mormonism. I perfectly agree with the author on the urgency of settling a question which has already been too long pending in the chancery of this country. It is highly time that some prompt and efficient measures should be taken to stop a growing evil, which is staring in the face of justice aud morality in bold defiance of the laws of the land. Mormonism has already been tole- rated too long for the honor of this country, It isa suame for a civilized nation and a Christian gov- ernment to allow such a gross violation of the most elementary principles of morality as well as the most daring iniringement of the civil laws of this country. It ts to be hoped that, while further in- vesugations are going on, the coming Congress will enact stringent und decisive laws im regard to the present state of things in Utah. If not, a great respousivility cannot but rest on their shoulders; tor Mormonism, as well as all mora: or physical diseases, must become the harder to cure the longer itis neglected. We see a fair example of this in the case of slavery. Why, then, should this government be so delicate ana mincing about ity Why not blot it out at once frem the face of this republic when it is in thetr power to do soy Why shouid polygamy be tolerated in Utah, while it is deservedly punished in otver parts of the Union? {t is no longer a ques- ton of religion, but a social and polltions question, The Mormons have openly and deflaniiy broken vhe laws which govern this country, and their conduct, therefore, 18 unconsututional and rebellious in the first degree; they are, in fine, rebels and traitors, aud should be treated as such, altnougn with due prudence and lemency. JR. Le Chronology of Mormonism. NORFOLK, Va., Sept. 26, 1871. To THE Epiror OF THE HERALD:— While the eyes of thousands are attracted towards the Territory of Utah by the present state of affairs concerning the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, and believing that many are wondering who and what we are, may I presume to lay before the public, through the columns of your valuable paper, a brief synopsis of the history of our people Joseph Smith, the prophet and founder of the Church, was born in the State of Vermont in the year of our Lord 1805. The designs of Heaven were first made known to him a’ the early.age of fifteen, when he was informed in a vision of the utter apos- tacy of the primitive Cnurch. September 22, 182 Joseph Smith received from the hands of a messen- ger from the Lord the gotaen records containing the ancient history of this Continent, written by various prophets and concealed by Moroni in the year 420, Joseph was then informed that he was to be an in- strument in the bands of God to re-establish His Church on the earth im its former purity and holi- ness. The prophet then proceeded to transiate the golden records. 1830—The ‘‘Church” was organized. 1833—Our people suffered great persecution In {n- dependence, Mo. 1837—Elders and priests were sent to the different nations of the earth in order to establisn the “Church” throughout the worid. 1838—Persecution raged. The prophet was be- trayed into the hands of his enemies by a second Judas—a professed iriend. Shortly afterwards Gov- ernor Boggs, of Missouri, tssued his order of exter- mination, followed by the massacre of a number of our peopie in that State. 1839—Ine people began to balld Nauvoo, Ml. 1841—The corner stone of the Nauvoo Temple was laid by the prophet. 1 42-—Joseph prophesied that our people would be driven to the Rocky Mountains. 1844—The prophet ana bis brother were murdered iu the prison at Carthage, Ill. During an eventful life of thirty-nine years he was arrested, tried and honorably acquitted over torty times, whica so ‘n- | censed bis enemies that they shed the blood of inno- cent men. Belore going to prison Joseph said, in a prophetic manner, “I go like a 1amb to the slaughter, but 1am as caim as @ summer's morning, for my conscience 1s void of offence towards God and to- ward allmen. It shall yet be said of me, ne was murdered in cold biood.”” 1845—A large mob, led on hy two Christian mints- vers, attacked Nauvoo, and a battle was fought, 1846—The exodus from Nauvoo began. A Mormon regiment was sent to Mexico by order of the United States. 1847—President Young entered Utah, known at that time as the Great American Desert. 1548—The mob set the temple mm Nauvoo on fire, 1452—Revelation on polygamy first made known, Since that time we have caused Utah to blossom as the rose, reared the most moral ety on earth, and, while President Young bas governed us, Known little or no crime, withstood two military expedi- tions, have been applauded for our firmness and called by the Loudon Zimes a bation of Leroes, ana There am@rm that we are a loyal, law-aniding peo- pie, ana desire nothiug more tuan the prosperity of our Territory.

Commissioner Petry directed the Principal to take no action in the matter, ‘Ihe question of the Bible ip the schools in Long Island City with pEohenly: be an important issue at the next municipal election. To THe EDITOR OF THE AERALD:— The reading of the foregoing will, it is to pe hoped, call up to the minds of our citizens a great necessity: the necessity of closely watching our national progress in connection with religious matters. It must be conceded that, attheume of the formation of this government, it was fully un- derstood that it should in no wise be trammelied with religious relations; the great founders and the great captains belonged to different sects; but it seems that the preailections of all were harmo- niously dropped, in view of the glorious result hoped for—a government in which the people should rule, unfettered by either prince or priest. The regulations of our public schools must of necessity be placed into the hands of individuals, subject alwaysto the control ot the people; but neither tuese Individuals nor the people have the right to approve books the selection of which depends on any faith. Pope's “Essay on Man’ has veen very generally used as @ book particularly adapted for parsing. On this ground it 1s properly employed; ut introduce the qoestion of iaith, how promi- nently might this book bring up discussion! It 1s ditticult, no doubt, to find books that present no coloring of faith to the youthful mmd; but it must be insisted upon that no book should be in- troduced into our schools as the exponent of a faith to be instilied ito the minds of our youth, The introduction is merely fanning the bitter an- tagonism of fanatics and parasites in religion. In one direction we should have the Books of Moses; im another, the New Testament; in another, the Book of Mormon or the Koran. Beecher’s “Life of Jesus, the Christ,” would follow, and his forth- coming work, the “Autobiography of Noah,” might become a scnool vade mecun. PRONGR, The Pope’s Letter to the Catholi Germany. The Pope has addressed the following letter to the delegates of the Ca:holic societies of Germany who assembled at Mayence on September 10:— DEARLY BELOVED Soys—Grace and Apostolic blessing. We know from past experience how firmly and courageously have the rights of the faith been defeaded by the Catholic societies of Ger- many amid tue most dificult trials, We nave there- fore learned with great joy that a meeting o! tnese societies will shortly take place at Mayence. Has not already each society singly and mantully re- sisted the movement of the godless and defended ‘the rights of the Courch? How much better will they succeed when united in the Lord! They will gather as it were, new strength, and by combined exer- tions and mutual deliberations become powerful in- struments in fighting tne battle of the Lord. To Him, therefore, shail we pray that He may pour out Hisspirit and Hts strength upon them, that He may direct the beginning and the whole course of their proceedings. so that they may be able not only ta raise au iron wall against the adversaries of His name, but also to promote the Catholic cause in spite of ali difficulties.

Dr. Gutheim. Yesterday the Feast of Tabernacles or Succoth ‘was very generally observed by the Israelites of New York, but not so much go as the New Year and Day of Atonement, which have passed. Scill the congrega- tions were much larger than on ordinary Sabbath days, preached by Rev. Dr. Isaacs in the Forty-fourth street Syanagogue, by Dr. Vidaver in the Thirty- fourth street, and by Dr. Gutheim in the Temple. The toilowing is a synopsis of the latter:—After the lapse of five days, said the Doctor, we are again as- lately solemnized. They taught us the. PURIFICATION OF OUR INWARD LIPE, and reconciled us with our neighbors, our con+ science and our God. And having accomplished this task We are now prepared to celevrate this fes- tival of joy. The character of this festival has a twofold meaning. It is eminently and primarily a naturai iestival, and is founded on the events and course of nature. Butasall of the national festivais of Israel are connected with great events in his- tory, 80 also is this one. We are commanded to ceieorate this festival wat we may be reminded | that our fathers dwelt m_ booths when they came up out of Egypt It isto be observed when the har- vests ure gathered in, and the sower and the reaper may rejoice together. Succoth 18 asymbol of te temporary residence oi the human race here, acknowledge and adore the Go’ of Israel, the harvest festival of nature and of history —espe- cially te Wwe hical history of Judaism. All the festivais of Israel are clearly explained and easily understood; and THE LANGUAGE OF RELIGION Itis both | for every human being. As the air and light are free for every maa 80 should be religion—the light and air of the soul. It must be brought within reach of every mn Hence the Toran declares that we have end into the ueep for Uiis word, Which Is nigh us, even in our moaths and in our hearts, so that we see and ob- serve and understand it. This testival of joy comes plished his designs, and bis heart is animated wi gratitude for ihe blessings With Which Provide has endowed him. ‘This festival also symbolizes res aite eiween the rest from of sanctutication, sory: it comes from physical exhaustion, bat the spiritual lite of man—(he soul—cerives very little alvaniage irom it. Bat the days 0) rest of the spirit are days oly unto tae Lord, when cheerfulness is iu te soul and THE ARART SWELLS WITH GRATITUDE Sermons appropriate tothe occasion were | bot from their material iabors—out from meutal auxiety. The resulta of the seed work of history do not appear 80 rapidly as tue results of the seeds janted in nature, and because we don’t see the ruits we are apt to qusetion the sowing, Israci’s history shows that for decades of ceuturies the people have been sowing aur PLANTING LIGHT AND SALVATION; but where Is the harvest? Can we now celebrate the accomplishment of Israel’s mission? Has pre- judice been vanished, intolerance ceased, false no- tions of God been wiped away’ Is persecurion no jonger known oa earth? Do men took to God as their Father and feel toward each other as breth- ren? Has Israel's sun succeeded in chasing away the darkness which covers the earth? Our festival answers that the spiritual harvest 1s not as patent asthe natural, But the seeds of truth are destined to spring up and bear fruit as abundantly as the narvest seeds. God has sald that seedtime and harvest shall never cease, ana He who watches every thought and word and doed done or expressed for the good ol the human race has said tnat they shall not be lost, Thousands of ages ago Mys declared ne eS Be nota ot ss ee THE UNITY OF GOD, and that idea ts ay strong and as bright to-day as ever, and as prectous in the eyes of the world. As the rain descends upon the earth and does not return until it has accomplished its mission, so shalt the Word of the Lord fail upon haman ears and hearts until the ultimate rest of the soul 1s realized. What ts all the lignt which now illumines the world but the light rentected from Sinal’s sun? And what this hope which has sustained thousands of human beings in all ages and amia trying circumstances, but the hope and assurance of the future life which has been entrusted to Israel's hands? What matters 10 if this faith be denied—if the spread of enlignten- ment be credited t @ new dispensation which has been upon old which was committ ratred to our fathers? One fact stilt rematos patent—namely, that whatever 1s known has been drawn from Jewish sources. And this harvest of religion should inspire every Israelite to greater faithfulness in the furtherance of nis mis- sion to the world, ithful, God has said the Jew shail lena to many nations, but he shall not borrow, and it is a common expression in regard to wealthy men that they are “AS RICH AS A JEW.” But the true riches of Israel are spiritual, and not material, And while waiting for the great spiritual harvest we have joy in our souls, for the Word declares that light is sown for the righteous and gladness for the upright in heart. And in the food of light which shall one day shine upen the earth will be found every scintillation of spiritual life and truth which we have sent forth, and whicn shalt swell the grand effulgence of the time to come, when the knowledge of God shall fill the earth asthe ‘waters cover the sea, and every human heart shall be lifted up to God in worship, and in that day the Creator shall be acknowledged one and His name one.

The exports from all the ports tor the week were 12,418 bales, against 10,163 bales for the same week last year. The total exports for the expired portion of the cotton year are 43,070 bales, against 29,138 bales for the same time last year. The stock at all the ports 1s 99,870 bales, against 106,419 bales for the same time in 1870. THE BANK STATEMENT. The weekly statement of the associated banks Proves favorable, owing to a contraction of loans, which is reflected in @ corresponding decrease in deposits, Tne diminution in Mabilities has there- fore enabled the banks to get on @ surer footing as regards their reserve, which is now about $3,800,000 in excess of the legal requirement—a smali amount of itself, but showing the conservative tendency of the banks after the warning of the previous week. Indeed, without the comparison afforued by the last statement, the present statement would be regarded as ex- tremely unfavorable; for, with all the efforts made at mending their reserve, the banks have never been 80 poorly off as during the past two weeks. Were it not for the prospect that the natural activity or money at this season will be greatly abated this year, a surplus reserve of only $3,800,000 would but simly fortify them against contingencies. The, real gain in reserve is less than half a million dol- lars, being the difference between a gain of three anda half millions in specie and a loss of three millions in legal tenders. As the government soid only two millions of goid during the week, the gain in specie represents in part the extra sale towara the close of the previous week. On the other hand, as the government equalized these operations by extra purchases of bonds the loss in legal tenders does not fully exhibit the outflow of greenbacks to the interior. The statement contrasts with its pre- decessor as follows:— Sept. 23. Sept. 30. Changes. + $309, 164,700 $301, 356,100 - 9,572,100 130,300 _ 1,200 30,253,800 Inc, $52,000 . 80, 287,127,400 228,138,000 Dec, 8,489,400 Legal tenders 58,428,300 65,272,300 Dec. 3,156,000 The changes since last week are In detail as fol- lows:— Decrease in loans. + $7,808,600 Increase in specie. . 8,558,200 Increase in circulation . 52,600 Decrease in deposits... ++ 8,989,400 Decrease in legal tenders, + 3,158,000 Ananalysis of the above figures shows that the surplus reserve has been increased by the addition of $2,636,400, and now stands at $3,804,650, MONEY FIVE TO SEVEN PER CENT. Money was easy at five to six per cent on govern- ments and at six to seven percenton stocks— seven per cent being rather an excep- tional rate—until about fifteen minutes be- fore three o’clock, when there was a sudden spasm and an active demand at seven per cent. This reversal of the general course of the market on Saturday afternoons occasioned considerabie sur- prise, and was doubtiess due to an over-<liscounung of the expected case of the market so usual at the close of the week, Prime commercial paper was dull at seven per cent discount, Foreign exchange was du! steamers, but rather steadie for prime bankers’ sixty day erling and 1094 fo sight, AS may be noticed, there is now a difference of seven-cights per cent between sixty day and sight biils—a reflection of the street rate for money in London, which is higher than the bank rate, on which the original difference of three-quarters per cent was founded. GOLD STEADY—1145 A 114%. Gold was dull and steady between the extremes of 114% and 1147, al! the attention of the market be- ing directed to the loaning rates, which, after rang- ing as high as 6-32 for borrowing (to Monday), de- clined to flat, with a promise at the close from the bulls that the rate should be }s per cent on Monday. Otherwise the gain of specie in the banks would have led toa sharp decline; but in view of the rates for cash gold, and in the absence of a knowledge of Mr. Boutwell’s intentions for October, the “ bears’s were dissuaded from offering the market down. The course of prices to-day is shown in the tabie:— as usual after the on the basis of 10814 oe 10 A, M... «e114 1 PLM. 14% 10:17 A. M 4s 2PM 114% 1A. M. 4% 3PM. » WAY 1 ALM. «114% 6:30 P.M...

Kerosene Oil Killing in Brooklyn. Kerosene oil, or rather that death-dealing articte, gasoline, which ts sold for illuminative purposes, cheap, under the name of kerosene, has long been @ source of profit to coroners in the number of vic- tims which it is constantly turnishing, It has even been suggested to undertakers that they advertise their business upon each lamp or oli can, so that ther services may be the more read ily employed when the explosion has opened a gap in the ranks of humanity. The latest case in proof of the fore- going assertion that kerosene 19 the most dangerous artucle is furnished in the death of Mary Reicuter, wife of a respectable German mechanic, and mother of three lite children, wuo resided at No. 517 Myrtle avenue. Tae unfortanate woman was seated in her back room, in which ber children lay sicoplng, on Monday night last, whem she was startled by aloud report and a great blaze, which lit up the adjoining apartment. She rushed intojthe room, and fluding that the noise had been caused by the explosion of the lamp, which had been standing on the mantel piece, and that the place was on fire, the poor woman endeavored to extinguish the flames, which were spreading all over the place. iu go doing her ciotaes took fire,and she was so tear- fully burned that deaih ensued the following day, despite every effort pene save her life, Coroner Whitehill, who investigating the case, has procured a quantity of the fatal burn- ing fluid, which in bis opinion, as impure, being no more or Jess than common gaso- line, Mr, Riechter, husband of tne deceased, states that he bought the article upon the recommendauon of Benjamin Carman, who Is in his employ, from @ man named Suydam, doing business at No. 136 Grand street. Brookiyn, E. D. All he paid for it was twenty cents @ gallon. He bad been told, he says, by Carman that the fuld was Kerosene oll, and that Suyaam used it himself. The measure of economy was taken, and proved to be, as tne result set forth shows, the measure for the grave and the orphanage of three little children. ‘The specimen of the fluid in the Coroner's possession will be tested by Professor Squibb, and should it prove to be im- pure kerosene tie mauufaciurer and the, vender wil alike be handed over for imaictment to promecaling officer tor the people, District Attorney orris ‘Two firms—Cullen & McGoey, of Green- int, and Jenncy & Son, of the Wallabout, manu- cturers of Kerosene Oil—huve already Yeen recom~ mended by Coroner Whitehill to the District Attor- ney fur prosecution, it having appeared that elt comuig trom said works caused the death of suo- jects over which the Coroner has oificiated.
