Zo THe EpiTor oF THs HERALD:— ‘The “new departure” of ‘‘Father’’ Bradley to the Roman Catholics will prove, of course, a “nine aye’ wonder” in certain religious circles, Many a bomily (public or private) will be discharged against the “Tractarians,” “Puseyites,” “*Anglo-Catnolics, “Ritaalists” or “High Churchmen” in the Episco- pal Church. It Is but just to stave that the school reforred to under these designations is far from being ofonc mini on certain minor points. Some, like the departed “Father,” take tne Church of Rome Gor their model; and it is by no means improvable that there will be further secessions from the ranks these Latinizers ere long. But the great major- | of Cauiolic Churchmen are of anotuer mind, look to the faith and justice of the Primitive hurch for Cito ag now exemplified in tne ly 5 Eastern Churen. They abhor Ultramontan- its Papal supremacy and infallipiiiy, its “Fihoque,” wafers, communion in one kind, en- forced celibacy, Latin mass, &c. No prominent man of this school ever went over to Rome except Palmer, of Magdaien College, aud the cause of bis secession bas ever been a mystery. They are loyal to weir own communion, and expect to die ag they have Mved. If driven out they would seek a home in the Kk Charch, not in Rome. But two or three tn land have gone over to the Kastern Cuurch and One Iu this country isince returned)—men of no ace count, owing to their insignificance and wortniess- Ress. ‘The departure of such men as Bradley will only serve to sirengtuen the position of the “Greek”? a in the Episcopal Church—a party which was | ded into soape by the writings of Dr. Neale, | the Warden of Sackville College, and ts now, In a Measure, guided by the example and the researches of the Key.

CATHULICUS, Seusation Murders and the Catholic Church. To THB EpiroR oF THE HERALD: The severe silence of the Catholic Church has often been to us a subject of admiration. When her most cherished doctrines are attacked !rom the pul- pits of her “dissenting brethren,” in language as Virulent as its consequences aro sometimes violent, rarely a word of complaint—never of retaliation— escapes her. But on reading your report of last Sunday’s pulpit proceeds we were fairly in love with that old charitable instituuon. Surely, we sald, If there be a Church of Curist upon earto, “it 1s this, it ig this.” Kor it seemed sometiung more than mere instinct that withaela ber irom iadulging in the great Fisk gensation on last Suniay. And yet, f we call to mind how sorely su felt, some moaths the attack of “that regiment which Fisk had to do nis bidding” on a deienceless crowd 01 her people, she might, perhaps, be able to “ghow cause’ for a little bilious invective, ‘We contess here that sne has taken a chivairous revenge; worthy her history of forbearance; and, if we know buinan pDature, her silence will preach more “peace and gvod will to men” than ali ie sermons (?) that adorned the HERALD of Monday. Itis more than probabie, that tue parsons profited more toan the priests of the only virtue ac- creaited to Fisk. We remember once having our atiention calied to a simple but signilicant iact which made us blush for the bigotry of our fellow countrymen, A white and a colored minister were permitted to pass scot free on a certain line, whlie close benind them came @ Catholic priest, equally well known to the Officials, who had to pay. We don’t koow whether Fisk had anything to do with this line or not. We have oiten been regaled with attacks ou the “abomt- natious of Popery,’’ but, in all candor, we believe infailiole councils and canontzations are more com- fortung and encouraging than such concerts of con- demuation and rare processes of apotneosis, when only ‘‘devil’s advocates” are heard, as were we treated to last’‘Sabbath. And I leave it to an honest public opinion to judge of the rela Christianity * of prayers for the dead and purgatory and the utter anuihilation of hope by leading soul to the very gates of heli and leaving it unere, forsoovh in charity, with its unrepented dceds, ‘There is one sense, at least, in which the parsons might conscientiously adopt the priesia’.rejulescat in pace, Pandering to @ morbid taste for sensation may make ther “call- ing,” but we question whether it will make their “election” sure. iN. Be The Clergy of Califor: erat To THe Epitor OF THE HEBRALD:— The telegraph from San Francisco yesterday brought us news of a manly attack by a prominent clergyman at the Japanese banquet upon the policy of the State of Valiforma in its exclusiveness and obstinacy toward this vast inverest, and Governor Booth’s surprise and annoyance at the plainness of the reverend gentleman’s language speaks volumes, In the spirit o1 self-interest the two leading political parties of the State have adopted the policy of crushing out the Mongolian, by offensive legisiation aud by pledges to their constituency to do all in their power to discourage and ultimately to destroy the emigravion, eeoDl because Chinese come into competition with the Hiberman element, by cheap- enivg labor, pander! tbuseto the prejudices of one class of emigrants to the detriment of auotner. All this savors of unlawful persecution, and the sooner public opinion regulates the matter the nearer shall we be to @ just appreciation of the benefits of @ liveral civilization. Under freedom’s broad banner emigrants from all navions should be warmly welcomed, and particularly should we be glud to cultivate iriendly feelings with those of the distant Orient, irom whow, through American steainship and Fratiroad enterprise, we anticipate go many benefits im the immediate future, Mr, Stebbins deserves well the applause that his patriotic remarks, and we Jeel confident that they wilt be re-echoed from the generous and mauiy and Chinese Eml- | popular heart of the country. ve Be Clerical Changes in the Arch-Diocese of New York.

THIRTY-FOURTH STREET SYNAGOGUE. Hebrew Veneration for the Dead—Fisk’s Dee tractors Mildly itebuked by Dr. Vidaver. In their progressive reading of the law this con- gregation yesterday got as far as the thirteenth chapter of Exodus, which gives some account of the departure of the Israelites from Egypt under the leadership of Muses and refers in touching language to their carrying the bones of Joseph up with them, This was the subject of the Doctor’s discourse, and it was based upon the nineteenth verse of the chapter—‘*And Moses took the bones of Joseph with | | him; for he had straiuly sworn the children of Israel, | } saying God will surely visit you; and ye shall carry up my bones away hence with you.” The words of | the text, said the ravbi, are like ' APPLES OF GOLD IN PICTURES OF SILVER. Two great personages are brought together to our notice here, namely—Moses and Joseph—and we are | at a loss to know which of the two great luminaries | to admire most. Joseph, the pet and idol of his | ; father’s household, sold to Egyptian slavery, but anid all bis trials and vicissitudes still clinging to the faith of his fathers and the worship of his father’s God, and suli mal ning his aifection for | his brethren and his father’s house. Elevated ale Most vo the iignest piace of honor in the realm of Egypt ne matutains tue same humole trust and fatto, And on bis dying ved bis novie virtues surrougd } hun like @ halo of glory and peace, Imagine what au affecting scene that Was around the deach bed of | that prince of Israei and of kgvpt, without whom | no man could iift hand or foot 1m ali tne land of | Egypt, so absolute was lus authoriuy, But now that huis soul was avout to depart to God who gave it, he | called his brethren about him, and having Prophe- sied that God would surely visit them and bring them up again to their own Jand, ne made them swear that they shouid carry his bones up wit them, and now, as they left the house ot bondage, io haste though it was, they remembered nis dying Tequest and their sacred promise to carry away his | bones to that land where they might mingie wita The ashes of his fatuers, And now look for a moment at the other char- acter broughs to our notice in the text, MOSES, THE EXILED PRINCE OF EGYPT, the whilom shepherd, the victor over /uaraoh and | Dia hosts, leading gloriously and triumphantiy tne | children of Israel out of the house of their bondage. He takes Bot With bim wagons laden witi the spoil of ihe jand, the iruits of conquest, Uh, no! Whatis ityou seé carried before him? See, it 1s | not anything which denotes conquest or yiciory, lt is merely @ cofin Coutaining the bones of one of luis fathers. Unfold the pages of history and you will find nothing like this, Faithfulness and love to the dead are characteristics of Judaism, and mm no other history shail you fiad such ex- amples. It 18 the triumph of truth over faisenood, the worship of God over idolatry—faitniuiness, to the living and affection for the dead. These are the characieristics of the Jewish race, and they form diadems in our crown. These characteristics were Mlustrated by references to Abraliatm’s transaction with Eparon in regard to the burial of Sarah, ‘the body, becauseit is the earthly tenemeat of God’s | image, must be looked upon and treated as toe sancluary with the deepest respect and honor. When Jerusalem was destroyed by Titus 118 ashes were dear to the heart of every Israelite, aud every- thing connected with thelr religion and ancient glory should ve, 4 LESSON FOR FISK’S DEFAMERS, The death of every human being leaves a chasm behind, aud there is @ beautiiul law among Israelites which requires that woen the pody 1g deposited im the grave we wust seek and speak only of his good qualities at the portals of the tomb, aud never under any pretence point Out the viemisnes of Lim whose ashes are laid away in their last resiing piace. Judaism can’t teach otherwise. Jtis the only system of religion which veaches charity and yood will toward all—toward the good and the bad, the pious aud the impious, auke. Love covers ail sind and blemishes, We spread the manve of charity over those whom wo love, And why shouil we not do so? Who hath made us judges of our jeiiow meu? Gord alone tries the reins and the hearts and knows the merits of each soul, He judgeth righteously oetween he real Jamb and the woilt in sheep's clothing. He only can discern between the cai aud the wheat, be- tween His true servant uid the ny pocrite—vetween bim Who devours widows’ houses and robs the Jatueriess, and witnbolds from tue Jaborer bis due. This divine discfimimaiion Was iilustrated by the choice of David irom among all the soas of Jesse to | be King of israel, Like Sawuel We too often judge men by externat appearances; but GOD NEVER MAKES SUCH A MISTARB. He sect notas man seeth, nor judgeth according to man’s judgment, And wo leave all judgments in his band. Hence our reiigion has no liquisitions to try or to condemn man for moilves or fur conscience sake, No, no! we have pee of the sort, aud you may look back over all our history in vain for it. Charily, true charity alone—the sanctum sanc- vorum Ol the beart—must be Jeit aloge with God, When men whv have jived and sinned and died, | ike as we do, oblivion should cover their ashes and | peace their souls. We should not cast tue venemous siime Of aspersion upon the asles of tue dead. And the Lext speaks to us im particular—we who leach this religion of faithfulness to the living and love for the deau. It speaks especialy vo us whose | fathers and motiers nave suffered as no other race has sudered jor conscience sake. And tney bore Wid divine fortitude ail ine sorrows heapet upon them that they migut preserve for us this boon of faith and love intact, And there is no Way 1D Wuich ‘we cap honor our dead s0 much as to OBEY THIS BLESSED LAW OF LOVE and faith for wuicn they lived and died.

On removing was an effusion of blood and @ small clot of blood at the anterior base of the brain. There were some @ppearances in the brain that Indicated softening, at different points. There was no fracture of the skull or splitting of tae inner table; on examining the chest both lungs were found congested, also the right auricle and ventricle of the heart, The lungs showed that there had been pleurisy of both, but not the result of this affair, The other organs of the body were in about as good a state as 1s usualiy found in men fiity years of age. Being a drinking man and exposed to cold the blood flowed to the brain. There was the con- dition of the brain which rendered 1s liable to rap- ture. which was the case at the base as was shown by tne clot of blood. There were XO INDICATIONS OF VIOLENCE, but the state of the body was such as would be found im apoplexy. His death was the result of exposure and hard drinking. Deceased had prova- bly fallen and caused the bruise, Being in a state of stupor from drink he was helpless after he had failen, The biceaing from the nose was probably the result of the congestion at the base of the brain. The question was whether he would have had apo- plexy if he had not been exposed to coid. Ina year or go he might have died from apoplexy with- outexposure. The softening of tue coats of the arteries of the brain makes them weak, and when The flood- ing of the lungs with blood was suilicient to cause death; but that was the result in tais case of the effusion of blood on the brain. The jury returned a verdict that Riley came to nis death from apoplexy. Gillooly was thereupon discharged, ‘ THE NATIUNAL GAME. ‘The First Game on the Tee.
