To THE EpiTor oF THR HERALD:— Inotice in your report of the lecture of the Rev. W. C. Van Meter the following passage :—“Now the Bible is to be seen all over Italy, though during the past 1,800 years not a single copy of the Bible was ever printed at Rome, except through necessity.”* Now it perplexes me very much to know what the gentleman means or wishes to convey by the words, “except through necessity; whether it is an error in reporting, or that the Catholic Church never does anything unnecessary or in vain, until her Protestant brethren, who scatter Bibles like chaff over Christendom and heathendom, with ap- parently as much indifference and result asa Broad- way bill distributor; or whether he actually wishes to make us believe that the Bible for],800 years was never printed in Rome, except through the greatest secrecy and against the will of the people; and does he use these ambiguous, unmeaning words, “except through necessity” as something to fall back on in case he should be called to an account for such an unfounded assertion? From the whole lecture it would seem that it 1s the latter idea he would wish to convey, and that before Victor Emmanuel’s entry into Rome the Bible Was unknown book in Italy, where he says now it is to be seen all over Italy. Now to the majority of readers who have ob- tained any knowledge of history, or even for mod- erately informed ones, it will be unnecessary to pce any authority to refute such an absurdity; put for the benefit of the most prejudiced f shall Powe one which I think no Protestant need call In question. Rev. 8. R. Maitland, D. D., F. R. S., F. 8. A., bra- rian to the Archbishop of Canterbury, &c., in his great work, “The Dark Ages,” says, after refuting the fine, and 1 ipa 7 analagous story, related by M. D’Aubigné in tis “History of the Reformation,” about Luther “discovering” the Bible, “a rare book unknown in those days,’ where he shows that before Luther ‘was born Germany alone had issued at least twenty — differ- ent editions continues:—“Before Luther was born the Bible had been printed at Rome, and the printers had iad the assurance to memorialize His oliness, prfying that he would help them off with some copies. It had been printed, too, at Naples, Florence and Placenza, and Venice alone had fur nished eleven editions.” No doubt we should be within the truth if we were to say that, besides the muititude of manuscript copies not yet fallen into disuse, the press had issued at least fifty different editions of the whole in Bible, to say nothing of | New Testaments, Psulters and other parts. And yet more than twenty years after we find a young man, who “had rec a very liberal education,” t e theloss did not know what @ Bible was, simply be- cause “the Bible was unknown in those days,’ No wonder that such falsehood and misrepresen- tion should make truth-loving men indignant, Still, in this nineteenth century, we find an old man who, no doubt, has “received a very liberal | education,’ and who, rhaps, “has made great | proficiency in his studies,” who has not been ashamed or aftaid to stand before an enlightened | audience ai insult their intelligence by telling them, what any person of ordinary historical knowl- should know to be false, that the Bible was unknown in Italy—not a single copy being printed in Rome for 1,800 years, Why, it lad been printed | all over Italy before Luther was born, and how olten since it woufd, perhaps, be hard to tell, Is it malice or is it ignorance that has led a man of his prominence to assert such an absurdity ? Whicn will these caiumnies, these misrepresenta- tions against this Church cease; the Church who, to use the langui of Maitland, has preserved the Bible “through all the revolutions of ages, through all the ravages of wars, pillage, fire and careless- hess,” from all the attacks of the Pagan and the Suracen—whose monks in their cloisters have «le- voted their lives to its transcription, who have adorned it such as book was never adorned, with all the most beautiful colors, stuffs and gems, for Which they thought no ornament too ; Whose Writings lave been in all ages, to use the expression of the Bame author, “made of the Seri tures; but because she does not throw it around like dirt, she Must be continually accused of studiously prevent- ing people of coming to a knowicdge of either its existence or its teachings—when, | ask, will theae shaineful calumnies and faisehoors cease’? Not until men pega to love truth and Late falsehood wherever dt may be found, Not untii Protestauts investigate @ truth for themselves, and do not allow their hers to glut thera With all the calumnics that an Malice and human ignorance can invent. NEW YORK HERALD, SUNDAY, APRIL 21, 1872—QUADRUPLE SHEET. | Ugion, the only true guide?” Such nonsense, such vain talk! A wandering star, meteor, it indeed has been in the hands of Protestants; made to dictate a hundred creeds and to justify as many more ab- surdities and impicties; a book that has produced the deepest scepticism and all the confusion, con- tradictions and inconsistencies among them, Yet they never stop boasting of this great star, of pos- sessing this great guide, this great criterion of truth, which a hundred discordant sects point to as their’ foundation of faith, while they understand each other as much as the builders of Babel, But all this pretty talk about the Bible we would pass over if they would only refrain from abusing us about it, Wellindeed has a Protestant remarked, “These words, ‘Search the Scriptures,’ have undone the world.” I think if what the gentleman asserted last Sun- day night is a sample of the pure water he is yet to administer to Italy—whose every pore he is to fill— “that fair land” will be more poisoned than ever. But [ cannot help smiling at the gentleman's concluding remarks, where he assures his audience that God has ordered him to put salt in the impure water of Italy. I think it might be well to put some ov her “tail” also; she would then yield without further trouble. Hoping, Mr. Editor, that, for the benefit of truth, you will insert this whenever your valuable space will percalt and that 78. will exense its len beg to subscribe myself, with indignation, VENTILATOR. Henry Ward Beecher for President—A New Religio-Political Party to be Formed in New York—Heyrv ‘Ward Beecher Proposed as Its Candidate for the Presidency of the United States. To THs Epiror or THR HERALD:— it has been announced and it is now generally understood among the more radical and progressive ciasses throughout the United States ‘that a Na- tional Convention of the various bodics organiza- tions and movements which represent the revolu- tionary spirit of the country, as relutes to political, social, religious and educational reforms, 18 to be held in Steinway Hall, in the city of New York, the 9th and 10th of May proximo., The object for which the Convention has been calied 1s a purely political one, namely, to form a coalition, if pos- sible, of all those classes of citizens everywhere that are devoted more to the principles of justice, of truth, of freedom and equal rights than to the success either of the republican or the democratic parties; and in case the Convention shall agree upon a definite course of political action to be pur- sued, to nominate candidates for President and Vice President of the United States for the next Presidential term. The Convention referred to is expected to be composed of representatives of the following or- ganizations, viz.:—The National Labor Party, the International Workingmen’s Association, the Wo- man Sutlrage party, the Temperance party, the Peace party, the Spiritualists, the Liberal or non- Evangelical Christians, the Free Religionists, the Free Thinkers, the Free Lovers, the Land Reform- ers, the Socialists, Communists, Positivists, Harmo- nialists, &c., Now, the question arises, “How or upon what theory is it to be expected that a con- vention representing such a variety, if not a diver- sity of ideas, will so far fraternize, fuse and consoll- date as tocome to an understanding that will be satisfactory to the different elements composing it, promote the ideas they respectively represent, and secure the earnest and undivided support of all the elements thus represented in the present political campaign? How is such a convention to agree upon candidates who would represent 80 many re- forms or movements? Who will the candidates probably be?” Each class of voters represented in the Conven- tion may be supposed to have its favorite expo- nents, its great champions, leading spirits and ideal representatives of what it conceives to be the im- portant issue of the times, and whom it would pre- fer to have as the Chief Magistrate. For instance, the labor party has already nominated Judge Davis, of Illinois, a8 its choice, and it may be unwilling to drop him and go for a coalition candidate. Then theretire the Internationals, with their favorite, whoever he may be—may be Wendell Phillips. Next, the woman suffrage party may clamor to have Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton or Theodore Til- ton or V ria ©. Woodhull nominated. ‘The tem- perance party may urge the nomination of George Francis Train or some other temperance champion, ‘The Spiritualists may want Andrew Jackson Davis or Robert Dale Owen, and the other fac- tions, likewise, may each have their cham- pion and leader, to be nominated if they can. Here, then, is a probability of a very wide ditference of honest opinion coming together, and an opportunity for disagreements, schisms, confu- sion and defeat of the object in view, unless the wisest counsels are allawed to govern, and a spirit of concession, and of mutual support and depen- dence prevail in the sessions of the Convention. The individuals above named are known to the public as the exponents of some special phase of radical thought and reform, If any of them should be nominated at the New York Convention, it is, to say the least, doubtful whether they would receive the undivided support of the diferent factions or bodies tobe represented in the Convention. In- deed, it is not improbable that the nomination of any of them might result in some of the parties to the Convention entirely withholding their alle- giance and support to the nominee and the new party, and thus endanger the success of the whole movement. It seems to be plain that some sort of compromise will have to be effected before a candidate can be selected who would stand any chance of election or of receiving the whole vote of all the classes holding the Conven- tion. Now, the course which a wise policy would indicate in such a state of things as the one most likely to meet the exigencies of all classes, would be not to press the nomination of any person for the Presidency who is notoriously identified with or the recognized champion of any special phase of reform, for the reason that such persons, however good and competent they may be, ure generally un- popular, distasteful and obnoxious to the popular mind. The Convention should select a candidate who is friendly and tolerant, or, at least, not un- friendly and intolerant, to the Various ideas ani- mating the new party, and one, if possible, who is well and favorably Known to the public, and to whom, if elected, the people would look up to with confidence and pect, As fuillilliag these require- ments in an eminent degree—greater, perhaps, than could be found in ay other individual—may be named MR. HENRY WARD BEECHER, OF NEW YORK. Mr. Beecher’s character, abilities and fame are world wide, and would of themselves be a tower of strength toany party that would choose him for their candidate. His history and antecedents are known to everybody. His induence is already felt over the civilized world. His sermons, ures and speeches have been inore widely and generally read the past twenty years than the utterances of almost any contemporaneous public teacher, Further- more, Mr. Beecher is a liberalist in his views and teachings. Some would consider him very radical. He, for instance, has from his own Plymouth pulpit endorsed the Internationals and culogized the Paris Communists: he has admitted the main eae pi prbg reese he has surrendered the infallibility of the Scriptures, or ba. ly of plenary inspiration; he repudiates the doctrine of eternal punishment; he favors woman suffrage and the equality of the sexes; he is the patron of temperance, peace, tol- eration, progress. In a word, Mr. Beecher is a man of reasonable ideas, honest and frank, possessing a mind open to the convictions of reason and truth and the intuitions of his soul. Of his devotional nature it is quite unnecessary to speak. Taking this view of the New York Convention and of Mr, Beecher, it is questionable whether there is a person in the United States who combines in him- self 80 many of the elements of success as a candi- date for the Presidency as Mr. Beecher, and who would at the same time represent to an equal ex- tent the radical and progressive character of the proposed new party. Perhaps the strongest oppo- sition to the nomination of Mr. Beecher would come from the anti-ecelesiastical class, for the reason that he j8 a Christian minister, and that his church proclivities inight bias his judgment in favor of ecclesiastical laws and measures to the detriment of the cause of justice, freedom and religious lib- erty. But it will be weil for this class to remember (and the writer of this is of that class himself) that Mr, Beeceer is not a narrow minded bigot in re- ligion and morals, but reasonably liberal and mode- rate in his views, and, furthermore, that no antl- Christian or infidel candidate would, if nominated, secure One-half the support from the people of the United States which Mr, Beecher would. ff the New York Convention nominate a man or woman for President who is the representative of some “one idea,” unpopular, incomprehensible and dis- tasteful to the Fecn at large, the result will be the signal defeat of such candidate and party, and the cause which will be made to sustain the shock will be injured, perhaps retarded for years, instead of promoted. Inthe estimation of many people there ts a certain degree of odium, of unpopularity, @ lacking of respectability, which’ at- taches, for instance, to the agitation of woman's rights, spiritualism, skepticism, free love, sexolog Ac. he several reforms are now making rapa rogress in revolutionizing public opinion; but, should the devotees of these reforms run a candi- date for the White House solely on these issues, there Is no probability it would meet with anything but defeat, and the cause, as well as the candidates, would be made the butt of partisan abuse, calumny, misrepresentation, ridicule and reproach. These reforms are too young and yet too tender to en- dure the giant kicks and bruises Read would in- evitably getin a contest with the brute forces of political warfare during the excitement of a Presidential campaign. Sag utility or wisdom would there be in running the gauntiet of popular condemnation when nothing can be gained, but much may be lost? On the contrary, should Mr. Beecher receive the nomination of the New York Convention, that gentleman would stand a fair chance for election next November. The only point of diMiculty about the matter will be whether the new party could Will this continual cry about “the Bible,” “tho Bivie,” ever be tushed—tis that he woula hare centred in the “beautiful Venus” which hangs over laud Of Llaly--"ghe big the Har’ OF re- frame a platform of | ipa! dowd which Mr. Beecher coull conscientiously accept and stand upon, Vuleas the provowed mew party make some such compromise and such a nomination as is herefn indicated, the chances of the new party for politi- cal power would seem to be a forlorn hope. Ci the several factions which the Bow persy to em- brace make the necessary con ions, sacrifices and compromises which the success of the move- ment and the necessities of the case clearly de- mand? Can Mr. Beecher reciprocate like manner, and accommodate himself to the exi- genome of the times and the progressive spirit of he party that, Sgr may thus choose him as its candidate for the Presidency of the United States? Can the proposed new political coalition place upon their ticket the name of any man of equal strength and popularity which would in the least degree represent the principles and spirit of the party? What other person could the new party begin to elect in the present camps ’ Would Mr. Beecher, even if defeated as the candidate of the new party, suffer any loss, either politically, socially or morally, by accepting such a nomination? Would not he, and the new party also, be strengthened, consolidated and made more powerful for the fu- ture, even should such a nomination fail of election next fall? The writer of this frankly admits that Mr. Beecher is not his first choice. He could name several persons whom would — prefer should occupy the Presidential chair; but he knows very well they would stand but a ve r chance for election‘ even if nominated by the Convention, As long a8 we can- not at present elevate to the Presidency the per- sons who would be. our first choice, let us do the best we can in that direction, None of the existing political parties in the United States can nominate ® candidate who would answer the make-up of the Proposed coalition near so well as does Mr. Beecher, and if he be not the beau ideal of the new party, he is much nearer to it than any democratic or repub- lican candidate will be, If the New York Conven- tion nominate Mr. Beecher it would, at any rate, be taking a step in the right direction, and with a fair rospect of a popular campaign and final success, Both the democratic and republican parties are in a state of rapid decomposition and dissolution, Let the live, progressive, but at present despondent, members of those parties unite with the new na- tional party to be formed at the New York Conven- tion next month aud nominate a popular, pro- gressive man like Mr. Beecher for President, and the next 4th of March he will be inaugurated Presl- dent of the United States. E. F. B. BROOKLXN, N, Y., April 17, 1872. The Episconal Church of Ireland—Hints from the American System. The General Synod of the Episcopal Church of Treland was in session in Dublin a few days since. His Grace the Lord Primate presided, The Lord Bishop of Kilmore read a portion of the Holy Scrip- tures and prayers. The Dean of Dromore notified that when the de- bate on the revision of the Liturgy came on he should move— ‘ That the ordinal shall. be altered so as to make it preca- tory. That no alteration shall be made in the baptismal service, but that the resolution foes by the American bishops last year be adopted, by this synod—viz.. that no moral or spiritual change takes place in the subject of bap- tism through the administration of the Sacrament. That the form of absolution in the Communion service shall be fed in the service for visitation of the sick, instead of the present form. ‘That the Communion service shall be given up as such, but that the latter half, commencing with the fifty-first Psalm, shall be retained as a Humilia- tion service, to be used by the minister according to his discretion. M. J. C. BLOOMFIED rose to order, and asked the Dean whether it was not against the rules for such notices of motion to be given, after it had been stated that the proceedings of the Revision Com- mittee, which would be the foundation for them, would be ready ina few days, Therefore, for the sake of good taste, and in the interests of the Irish Chureh, he begged the Dean to postpone his notices of motion till the minutes, &c., of the Revision Com- mittee would have been received. The Dean of Dromore remarked that a printed notice in relation to the revision of the Luturgy was put into his hands, and, had it not been for that, he would not have given his notification, Father Burke’s Movements. _ The Dominican priest, Father Tom Burke, is out West preaching among the flocks. He will return to Hoboken on Thursday evening next and deliver a lecture in the Catholin church on “The Attributes of Catholic Charity.” A limited number of tickets is issued. The proceeds of the lecture will be for the benefit of the public hospital in that city. This is the only lecture that Father Burke will give in New Jersey. The Hobokenites are quite enthusias- tic over his prospective visit. Personal and General*Notes. The Rev. Father Hammond, Archdeacon of Florida, oMciated at the early celebration of the blessed Sacrament on the morning of the 18th Inst., at the Free Church of St. Mary the Virgin, and will preach in that church on Sunday next. Father Hammond is stopping with a member of that parish at 127 Fifth avenue, The Rev. James 8, O'Sullivan, late of St. Mary’s church, Hudson, N. Y., is mentioned in connection with the pastoral charge of St. John’s church, Sche- nectady, now temporarily filled by the Rev. Mr. Sheehan. FORTY-FOURTH STREET SYNAGOGUE. Jewish Faith and Endurance—The Free- dom of America and Persecution of Israclites in Europe—Sermon by Rev. Mr. Isaacs. ‘The festival of the Jewish Passover will be cele- brated throughout the world by orthodox Israelites on Tuesday next. It was therefore made the sub- Ject of appropriate reflections in the different syna- gogues yesterday. In Forty-fourth Street Synagogue Rev. Mr. Isaacs preached from Psalm cxiv., 1, 2— “When Israel came out of Egypt Judah was His sanctuary,” &c. He said this festival was one of two days in the. year—the Passover and Pen- tecost—when the ministers of religion called especially upon God to protect the people. In ancient times the ministers stood up three hours in succession teaching the people. But if they attempted that now they would have to stand alone. Then they preached twice a year, but now they preach every Sabbath day. ‘The text de- clares that God’s purpose in redeeming Israel from Egyptian bondage was to . MAKE JUDAH HIS SANCTUARY. This is a great Sabbath day, end yet only one hpok of the law was taken out and read, while on other days two and sometimes three are taken out. Why is this? It is to express the unity of Jewish faith in the one living and true God. The original Sabbath, it should be known, was on the 10th day of tho month Nisan. Mr. Isaacs then read the com- mandment of the Lord by Moses to the people of Israel appointing the Passover, as found in the book of Exodus, and re- marked that this command was given be- fore Israel was [pel ad and was designed to test their faith. ‘srael has been tested all along their pilgrimage, and are tested In the Re day. But the righteous man liveth by faith. The forefathers were told to take. a lamb— the idol of Egypt—and to oa it and sprinkle its blood upon the lintels and doorposts of their houses. They were not to do this stealthily, for the lamb was to stand at their doors for four days, after which they were to killitatevening. The Egyptians were thus to have a full opportunity of seeing and knowing what was to be done. Here was a test of faith, The Jews laid themselves liable to be slain by the Egyptians for killing one of their ke and yet they hesitated not a moment. nis act also involved their manumission or re-enslavement; but the record informs us that they did all that the Lord commanded by the hand of Moses. If the Jamb was found to be too much for a family they were to join with their neighbors in killing and eating it, thus symbolizing the unity of Israel as a nation as well their unity in faith. When they went out of Egypt they ate the head ofaMiction,yet they murmured not because they believed in God and in his servant Moses, For hundreds of years ISRAEL'S FAITH HAS BREN TESTED as no other people’s has been. They have been accused of bait wells, of Saying Christians and staining the earth with their blood, when tt is well known that the heart of a Jew is too tender to shed blood. But they bore their persecutions calmly and = meekly, because _ the; trusted the day would) come when | the; should be relieved. The Israelites in the East to- day are enduring patiently, because they know that man fs born unto trouble as the sparks fly up: ward, and they hope for a day of deliverance, it has been so from the era of Spanish rule to this hour; but our people, said Mr. Isaac, abide in faith, And if in ng period of our history our faith should be steadfast, itis now. We need not eat the bread of aMiction in this land save as a memorial; and yet here, where we are 80 highly favored, the pee forsake Judaism and take up with other isms. And such are the characteristics of the prevent day that, no matter how a man may die, if he has plenty of money, he can have a large and gorgeous funeral, and have an Nat eulogium pronounced over his remains. ut we trust, added the preacher, that the time will come when all the sons and daughters of Israel shall re- turn to our own land, and Judah shall again be His sanctuary and Isaael His inheritance. And as we surround the festive board next week we shall thank God, who has 80 highly favored and blessed us, The righteous man liveth by faith. THE JEW 18 LIKE A TRAVELLER ona journey stopping at an inn foranight. He does hot expect to tind there ail the comforts of a home, but he takes what he can get here and looks forward to his heavenly home, where he shall dwell forever with a good God. There is a time anda place when and where we shall receive the reward ofour deeds. And then shall Judah be His sanc- tuary and Israel His dominion. Mr. Isaacs closed his address with an exhortation to the congrey tion to continue in the faith, and a special exfor tion to a young man who had just been admitted to read the law to hold fast to the doctrines taught him by his parents and grandparents, who, it was declared, were @ credit and an honor to Judaism. THE PASSOVER. The Passah or Passover festival, which will be observed-on Tuesday next and the week following, was established to commemorate events which took place upwards of thirty centuries ago, The Israelites were bondmen in the land of Egypt, and Divine Omnipotence evinced its interposition in a series of miraculous events which at once punished the tyranical taskmasters and restored the Hebrews to freedom. These facts are recorded in extenso in the first part of the Book of Exodus, and as the Bible is by civilized nations conceded to be a truth- ful history as well as an inspired revelation, there can be little doubt that the events recorded therein did actually transpire. In the enlightened apostolic age, When Greek and Roman philosophers spent their time in seeking after something new, and when there was a chance, if there had been a disposition to cavil at and dispute those recorded events, we find them referred to off and again as facts which could not be disputed, and which con- sequently were to be accepted without question, It may seem strange, but it is nevertheless true, that our modern civilization depends upon and dates back to the exodus of the Israelites from Egypt, and it may safely be asserted that the state of mankind to-day would be widely ‘different from what it is had not this event taken place. The Jews were selected to be a peculiar people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, the instructors of the human race; and that they have accomplished their divine mis- sion well is evidenced in the higher civilization and the increasing power of the nations that have ac- cepted the religion of the Bible, which was origin- ally committed to their Keebtoe We live in an age when nothing supernatural or miraculous is seen, but whatever occurs bears the stamp of an ordinary event. The principal occupa- tions and views of individu: as’ well as of nations, are confined to their earthly span, and no startling wonder, no aston- ieutng, inversion of the course of nature, rouses man in this practical age from his daily avocations, We say the day of miracles is. past, and though we may not comprehend the cause or even the effect of events which transpire in our midst, we refer them atonce to some one of the many known or un- known laws of nature. We have heard with our ears, said the psalmist, and our fathers have de- clared to us Thy works of old and Thy mighty deeds, and we repeat his words, and ask for a renews manifestation of those wonders, and because we see them not we are ready to discredit the state- ments of eye witnesses and faithful historians of those events. Every orthodox Jew delights to trace the origin ofhis nation back to Abraham, the Hebrew, who was called out of the land of the Chaldeans and sent into Palestine, where he lived, a stranger in the land that was to be afterward the inheritance of his posterity. But God assured Abraham at the same time that his seed should be held in bondage in Egypt for 430 years, after which time they were to go up and possess the land of their inheritance. And so literally and particu- larly did those events happen as to attract the spectal atteution of the sacred historian, who, in recording the events connected with the exodus, adds that “in the self-same day the children of Is- rael went forth out of Bgypt by their armies.” ‘The immediate cause wiich brought the descendants of Abraham into Egypt was the criminal hatred of Jacob's sons toward their younger brother Joseph, whom they sold as 9 slave to a band of Ishmaelites, who were going down to Egypt on a trad- ing _ expedition. «But, as the crucifixion of Jesu of Nazareth, was overruled to the salvation of the human race, so in a sense was the enslavement of Joseph made a means of saving the Jewish race, And hence, when Joseph aiter- wards made himself known to his brethren he was able to tell them that it was not they who sent him thither, but God. This, of course, did not lessen their gulls, but it showed how merciful and gracions is the Lord of Hosts, and how wonderfully He can and does control the events of nature and of man. The series of events connected with the depar- ture of the Israclites from Egypt declares as plainly as anything can declare it, that there is @& special as well as a general Provi- dence guiding and overruling all the affairs of mankind; and soimportant is this truth in the divine economy that Israel was commanded to re- member the day of their exit from Egypt all the days of their life, and for seven days they were to eat no leavened bread nor to allow leaven to enter their houses ;—“And whosoever eateth unleavened bread from the first day until the seventh day that soul shall be cut off from Israel.” Thus strict was the paschal law at its inception. The first and the last care of this festival are held sacred, and no kind of work is permitted to be done in any Jewish dwelling save ab necessary to support life. Jew- ish bakers and butchers in this city do for the peo- ple what each householder in the olden times was required to do for himself. CARDOZO’S COUNTER CASE. patter is a ae diiol To THe EprTor oF THE HERALD:— The following are the real facts in the case of Judge Cardozo as it appears from the results of the recent investigation :-— The Gold Exchange Bank receivership, Charles J. Osborne, brought a suit to procure the appointment of a receiver of that bank in September, 1869. The papers showed that he was a creditor and that the bank was insolvent. That made a plain case for the appointment of a receiver. Augustus L. Brown was the receiver. No one can say aught against him. Subsequently, on the 4th and Sth of October, 1869, Doyd and Hamilton‘and the Messrs, Carver brought suits, swearing positively that they were creditors, and averring the insolvency of the bank, and the same receiver was appointed. That is the usual practice. If different receivers had been appointed there would have been just ground of complaint, for it would be contrary to the general rule, and lead to inextricable confusion and disputes between the conflicting receivers. The bank’s affairs were in the greatest confusion, and Judge Barrett's firm have sworn that they advised a client to have a receiver appointed, and that the only reason the advice was not acted on was grat Osborne had got the start of them. As to the order made on the 9th of October, 1869, fixing Brown’s fees and directing the payment of Various sums of money to different parties, and as to another order substituting Conrad N. Jordan as receiver in place of Mr. Brown, the following im- portant fact, which has been concealed, should be remembered, The orders were made upon the written consent of the attorneys for all the parties interested, Martin & Smith being attorneys for the bank, Newell, Denman & Prentiss and Barretts & Redfleld being attorneys for the other parties, Judges never examine an order consented to by all parties. The attorneys who consented were of the most reputable in the aw. All the other orders about the payment of money. were made on the application of the bank's own selected manager, Mr. Jordan, and after its affairs had been somewhat relieved from their confusion. The Coy | hee a that Osborne was not a creditor when he brought the suit is utterly untrue; but whether so or not he swore he was, and how could the Judge know anything about it? The actions be farts the Gold Exchange in which, at the suit of various brokers, Judge Cardozo granted injunctions were similar to suits in which similar injunctions were granted by other Judges, including Judges Clerke, Sutherland and Brady. The first of these injunctions was not granted by Judge Cardozo, but by Judge Clerke. It is positively proven that Judge. Cardozo had no acquaintance with either of the parties to any or either of the suits abovementioned, and there is no proof that he knew either Fisk or Gould or that he knew any- thing about the matters in the suits, except just what the papers submitted to bim for his judicial action disclosed. The receivership of the Mercantile Insurance Company was granted on the 3ist October, 1871, and vacated by Judge Cardozo on November 3, 1871, on hearing both sides. The papers submitted, when the order for the appointment of the receiver was made, showed that the capital was impaired twenty- five per cent, and that the company was insolvent. A positive affidavit of this fact was annexed to the complaint, After the order for the receivership the company got from the Superintendent leave to make up the deficiency in the capital, and upon that being made to eg! the same Judge vacated the receivership, and the counsel nor receiver | nM any fees, The case of Brown vs. Leveridge, &c., was one where the complaints showed that the principal defendants were fraudulent trustees, who had taken undue advantage of a young lady (their ward). In such cases itis every ben practice to appoint receivers. The fees of the recelver and his counsel were not fixed by Judge Cardozo, but by Judge Sutherland, who also tried the case, and held that the trustees had acted fraudulently. The habeas corpus matter either is very simple, the statute has always required three or two justices to hold the Court of Special Sessions, When three were required two only sat. When two were required only one sat, When this eee the prisoner was entitled to his discharge. Divine’s case, decided by Mr. Justice Sutherland (11 Alb. P, K, p. 90), settles that, The Pearsall-Connor case wasone in which the Judge sought to save a little girl about five years of age from being brought up in a house of prostitu- tion. It needs Hels | more than this statement; the heart of every right-minded person is with him in that matter, In the case of Flelds vs, Fields the lawyer called in support of the charge said tnere was nothing in Judge Cardozo’s conduct to censure. In regard to the references sent to Gratz Nathan and others no complaint is made ‘that the referee did not do his duty. The fees, when not consented to by both parties, were fixed according to prece- dent in the Supreme Court in the case of Ames vs. Ames, In regard to sending to his relative, Jndges Ingraham, Sutherland and John R, Brady send to theirs, and Judge Barrett, since his election, has sent in one month thirty-three, and ten of them to one of his own relatives. =, this true statement of the facts you willobiies = JUSTION BISHOP M’NIERNEY. The Consecration at the Cathedral To-Dey—An Account of the Ceremonice—The Bishops To The Rev. Father MeNierney will’ this morning be consecrated Bishop in ‘St, Patrick's Cathedral, his see to be in Albany. Judging from the preparations made for the ceremony a gorgeous display may be expected. During all last week there have been unceasing demands for tickets of admission, but not one-fourth of the applicants could be supplied. The altars have been newly fitted up for the occa- sion and the most costly vestments and ornaments are tobe used. The high mass will be celebrated by Archbishop McCloskey, the consecrating bishop; Very Rev. Father Starrs will be assistant priest; the deacons of honor will be Rev. Fathers Preston and Quinn; deacon of the mags, Rev. Father McNamee; gub-deacon, Rev. Father Kane. The Rev. Father Kearney is to be master of ceremonies, his assistant being Rev. Father Mc- Dowell, of St. Michael's, The Rev. Father Richard Brennan is to be chaplain to the bishop elect. A number of DIGNITARIES OF THE CHURCH have arrived in .the city from various States of the Union and from Canada to participate in the con- secration. The two bishops to assist Archbishop McCloskey are Bishop Loughlin, of Brooklyn, and Bishop Bacon, of Portland, Me. Bishop Bailey, of New Jersey, is to preach the ser- mon. The other bishops to be present are Bishop De Groesland, of Burlington, Vt.; Bishop Williams, of Boston; Bishop O'Reilly, of Springfleld; Bishop McFarland, of Hartford; Bishop McQuaid, of Rochester; Bishop Ryan, of Buffalo; Bishop O'Hara, of Scranton; Bishop Shannahan, of Harrisburg; Bishop Woods, of Philadelphia; Bishop McCloskey, of Louisville, Ky.; Bishop Becker, of Delaware; Bishop Farrell, of Hamilton, Canada; Bishop Horan, of Kingston, Canada, and Rev. F, Wadhams, bishop elect of Ogdensburg. These prelates, vested in rochet and mantiletta, will occupy seats in the sanctuary on the epistle side, the consecrating prelate and his two assistants being oppo- site, The principal clergy of the city have been invited to attend, and no doubt large numbers of those will witness the ceremony. The priests are to occupy seats along the middle aisle, as there would not be room for them in the sanctuary. The ceremonies are to be opened by the senior Assistant Bishop, who, turning toward the consecrator, says:—‘‘Most Reverend Father, our Holy Mother, the Catholic Church, begs of you to raise this priest who is here present to the burden of the episcopacy.” The consecrator then asks for the mandate, and this the senior prelate reads, ‘The consecrating prelate is now seated before the middle of the altar, and the bishop elect, kneeling, reads THE OATH. I,N., elect of the church of A——, shall, from this hour, henceforward, be obedicnt to blessed Peter, the Apostle, and to the holy Koman Church and to the most blessed Father, Pope Pius IX., and to his successors canonically chosen. I shall assist them to retain and defend against any man what- ever the Roman Pontificate without prejudice to my rank. Tshall take care to preserve, defend and promote the rights, honors, privileges and authority of the holy Roman Church of the Pope and of his successors as aforesaid. With my whole strength I shall observe and cause to be observed by others the rules of the Holy Father, the decrees, ordinances, or depositions and mandates of the Apostolical See. When called to a synod I shall come unless I be pre- vented by canonical impediment. I shall person- ally visit the Apostolic See once every ten years, and render an account to our most Blessed Father (the Pope) and his successors as aforesaid of my whole pastoral office and of everything in any wa' appertaining to the state of my Church, to the disci- pline of the clergy and people and to the salvation of the souls committed to my care, and I shall humbly receive in return the apostolic mandates apd most cligeaay execute them, But ifI be preventha by a lawful impediment, I shall perform all the things aloresaid, by a certain messenger specially author- ized for this purpose, a priest of the diocese, or by some other secular or regular Viehed of tried virtue and piety, well instructed on all the above subjects, I shall not sell, nor give away, nor mortgage, enfeoff anew, nor In any way alienate the posses- sions belonging remy: table without the leave of the Roman Pontiff. And should I proceed to any alienation of en, Tam willing to contract by the very fact the penalties specified in the constitution published on this subject.” The consecrator and the bishop elect then place THEIR HANDS ON THE OPEN BIBLE and the elect says:—‘So may God help me and these Holy Gospels of God.” Then a number of questions are put to the elect, concluding with his assent to the profession of faith, The consecrator now pro- ceeds with the mass as far asthe tract, and the elect goes to the side altar and taking off’ the cape he had worn, puts on sandals, the pec- toral cross, tunic and dalmatic, chasuble and maniple, and then reads part of the mass at he side altar, supported on either side by the assistant bishops, Next the elect prostrates himself before the altar, near where the consecrator is sitting, and the litanies are sung over him and the consecrator and assistant bisho) bless him. The litanies being concluded, the Arch- bishop, with his assistants, p! the Book of Gos- pels wide open over his head and shoulders, and then each of the bishops impose hands upon his head, saying, while doing so, ‘Receive the @loly Ghost.” The Veni Creator is now sung, and after the first verse the Archbishop CONSECRATES THE HEAD AND HANDS of the elect with oil and chrism. He then blesses the new pent crozier, saying, “Receive the staff of the pastoral office, that thou mayest be merct- fully severe in correcting vice, in fostering virtue by soothing the minds of tly hearers, in not leaving aside censure in the calmness of severity.” The ring is next blessed, and placing it on the new bishop's finger, the Archbishop says:—“Take this Ting a8 a token of fidelity, so that being gifted with inviolate faith thou mayest guard the spouse of Christ—His Hol Chureh.” The Book of Gospels is now handed to the new bishop, the kiss of peace is received, and he goes to the side altar to continue the mass. At the offertory he approaches the Archbishop, who js now seated bejore the high altar, and presents him with two lighted torches, two loaves and two little casks of wine. The Archbishop and the newly con- secrated then continue the mass at the same altar— one on the gospel side, the other at the epistle side. After the benediction the mitre and gloves are blessed, after which the Archbishop takes the new bish by the right hand, the senior assistant hold- ing is left, and he is thns led to the throne that had been at first occupied by the Archbishop. Dur- ing the sth of the “Te Deum” the assistant bishops lead the new Bishop around the church, giving his ‘ght 3 to the people. The closing ceremony is that in which the new Bishop, after singing the ‘Ad Multos Annas” three times, pros- trates himself at the Archbishop's feet, rising from which he gets the kiss of peace and is then led to his place on the altar to finish the mass. These are a few of the leading ceremonies practised as the consecration of a Catholic bishop. The new Bishop has long occupied a most responsible position 8 ARCHBISHOP’S SECRETARY. It is well known that he has ever discharged the delicate duties devolving upon him in his relations between the Archbishop and his priests with re- markable freedom from consequent ill feeling on the part of any one. This fact has been so well re- cognized by leading clergymen in the city that re- cently anumber of them assembled to pay him some mark of respect previous to his leaving, and the result wasa present to him of a well filled arse, Father MecNierney was noted during is long ministerial career here for great piety, a never ceasing charity to the poor and for considerate attention to the humblest people whose business necessitated intercourse with him, It must have been no little pride to him to find himself anointed as a bishop in the very parish in which he was. born and was raised up a8 a boy. He studied forthe ministry in Montreal, Canada, where he was a distinguished student. While here he for some time taught classes in the seminary. After coming on the mission in New York he w: for a few months pastor of Rondout, but Archbish Hughes selected tim for the office of his private secretary, and he continued to hold that osition until the late Archbishop's death. He a8 been Archbishop McCloskey’s secretary since that prelate’s translation to the archdiocese. As a scholarly gentleman the new Bishop compares favorably with the men usually selected for that high office, and this gives him’ enough of praise. He speaks four or five of the modern languages fuently, and is a superior classical scholar. Though eminent neither as a writer nor a speaker, he is said by those qualified to judge of such a sub- ject that he is a profound theologian. He will re- main in this city for a week before going to Albany. His Catholic population of Albany are preparing to receive him most cordially, MUSICAL SERVICE AT TUR CATIEDRAS, One of the principal features of the celebration to-day at St. Patrick's Cathedral will be ne ae for which the organist, Mr. Gustavus Schmitz, made immense preparations. ‘The solo choir, Soo, sisting of Mme, Chromé, soprano; Mrs. Unger, al 4] Mr. Denhof, tenor, and Mr. Urees, buss; a double string quartette ahd a chorus, nearly sixty strong, will give the sixth mass by Schmitz, a work of rare merit. Before the sermon Mrs. Unger will sing the rayer from ‘Stradella,” arran| “i as a “Veni Dreator;" at the offertory “0 Salutaris,” by Ros- aint, will be sung by Mme. Chromé, and at the ele- aan Mie. Gross sings “0 Josu mi,” soprano solo, by Carl Maria Von Weber. RECEPTION TO GAVAZZI. The Welcome to the Italian Deputation of the Free Church at Association Hall, A public reception was given to Father Gavasai and Dr. Thompson, the deputation from the Free Christian Church of Italy, and to Dr. H. 0. Riley, the Superintendent of the Methodist Missions in Mexico, at the Hall of the Young Mons Christian Association last evening, under the auspices of the American and Foreign Christian Union. Previous to the meeting in the hall the three gentlemen received their friends and strangers who desired to be introduced to them in the parlors of the hall. A steady stream of ladies and gentlemen passed through the three parlors, shaking hands with the distin- guished guests as they passed. Among the great reverend lights present were Dr. Irensus Prime, Dr. Henry W. Bellows, Dr. Cyrus Foss, Dr. Ormiston, Dr. Sabine, William E. Dodge and others, The reception in the parlors lasted about half an hour, and at eight the exercises in the large hall commenced. The spacious room was completely filled with a highly intelligent audience. Mr. Jacob D. Vermilye, President of the Christian Union, presided. He gave a short sketch of the three gentlemen to do honor to whom they were assembled, and ‘then designated Dr. Sabine to de- liver an address of welcome to Dr. Riley, the missionary from Mexico, . Riley is a young mam of probably thirty-six, slim in eh and he spoke with a strong foreign accent, er & brief addresa of congratulation and welcome to Dr. Sabine he rose and Tere panen ey depicted the work which he had done in Mexico and the scenes he had wit- nessed. He said that on entering Mexico city, which he denominated the Rome of the New. World, early in 1869, he found there thirty evangelical Christians work! humbly for Jesus,' He had gone there with his Bible hidden agains his breast, and a small printing press, with which to spead evangelism through the nation. He had met with difficulties, but he had achieved great suc- cess. There were now little congregations scat tered throughout Mexico—one in nearly every G4 of the nation—and in the capital the government of Benito Juarez had thrown open the finest temple of worship. in the lace to his congregation. Two prominent Catholio La Fal had joined his congregation, and one of he highest Ministers of the government sat regu- larly under his preaching. There was alsoa Young Men’s Christian Association, composed of sixty- five members, in Mexico city, doing good work. Dr. Riley was frequently and vehemently applauded. At the conclusion of his address Dr. Ormiston de- livered an address of welcome to Father Gavazal and. Dr. paainpein to which Dr. Thompson _firsé, responded and then Father Gavazzi. There were a@ number of people in the audience who had heard Gavazzi’s eryereanence bene. doubtless; but the greater number had not, and excited gesticulation, startling attitudes and facial contortions were for a moment subjects of wonder and merriment to them. But his vigorous delive: and fervent eloquence soon obliterated all thought of merriment, either at his gesticulations or foreign accent. He be; by apologizing for the rudeness of his English, for he had not madea speech in any language but Italian for nearly twenty ears. 5 u “My hopesy said he, “in those twenty years have been real atest) is united. The Evangelical Church is united in Italy and holds forth in Rome itself, There has been no complete unity hereto- fore. We need aid from America to unite us com- pletely. Education alone makes @ nation free, and o have education in my Italy we must have an evangelical college. Nineteen years ago in London Ladvocated this scheme for an evangelical college in Rome with Lord Shaftesbury, but it failed then because Italy politically was disunited. Our con- fined wey are all poor. The aristocracy have not joined us yet. We live in eventful times. I expect ope Pius will live to see = evangelical col- lege right in sight of his own Vatican. People here, I know, are contributing money to rescue Rome from the power of Italy. I fought in’49 with my Garibaldi— (loud and prolonged cheering)—to make Rome the capital of Italy, but we were defeated the united armies of Europe. Again in 67 I fought with him at Mentana for free Italy, but France assas- sinated us. The assassination at Mentana has been avenged at Sedan. These were only parties fighting for Rome. But now it is not a party or few Garibaldians that hold Rome; it is Italy. ‘ou can- not rescue Rome from Italy.” The reverend gentleman continued at much greater length, confining his remarks mainly to the Po} the infallibility doctrine and the Councils of Vatican, and atthe conclusion a benediction was pronounced and the audience dispersed.
