A Catholic on Prudentius’ Theologico- Political ant.” New York, Dec. 5, 1874. To THE EpiTor oF THE HERALD :— Ihave read many of the letters signed “Pruden- tius,”” which have appeared trom time to time in the HERALD, and, in general, have been edified by them, Not so with the recent one which “Pruden- tus’ contributed to the Gladstone-Manning con- troversy. How the subject of papal infallibility can be made to do service in a letter on the seces- sion of the Southern States ‘rom the Union, and in @ rambling account of the degeneracy of American poldticians, may be perfectly clear to ‘‘Prudentius,”? but is not so apparent toaverage readers. Tweed was, no doubt, a tremendous rogue; but what has that to do with Archbishop Manning or Mr, Gladstone? General Grant came in for a Yap, too, and so did Mr. John Kelly, from the redoubtable “Prudentius.” 1 consider it doubtiul whether “Prudentius” knows anything about General Grant, and conjecture that it is a moral and metaphysical doubt whether he will ever be able to obtain @ horizontal view of Mr. Koily in this world, whatever may be the merits of the Gladstone-Manning controversy. “Pradentius” tells us in the same letter that the Pope was under the influence or unwise coun- sels ip relation to America during the late unhappy war between the States of this Union. The per- siflage of the pohtical allusions above no- ticed degenerates into downright impertinence in this gratuitous reference to the Holy Father. ‘The ‘bloody shirt’? business has been happily confined to the manulacturers of Southern outrages, and the cant about Southern rebels has at last proved an unprofitable trailic even to tne political bucksters,. The recent elections have cleared the moral atmosphere wonderfully in this respect, and the most terse criticism which appeared during our recent poltt- teal canvass upoo those who would excite sec- tional prejudices growing out of the war appeared in the HERALD, when you declared that “Mr. Tilden would not have lost one hundred votes had he led the attack on Fort Sumter!” Had you published such a witty and truthful epigram in Paris you would have become instantly tamous, Let “Prudentius” mend his pen and try it again, Filngs at worthy men, even in the ‘loyal’ key, are beneath the dignity of a theological writer, and are no longer fashionable, even as patriouc cant, A CATHOLIC, Doing Good for Evil.—The Port Jefferson Baptist Church Toward the Long Island Association. To THe Eprrox oF THE HERALD:— The Rev. E. F, Hiscox, D.D,, of Brooklyn, spent a Sabbath lately with the Rev. P. Franklin Jones, pastor of the Baptist church at Port Jeffer- son, L.L Doctor Hiscox represents the interests of the Baptist Home now in course of erection in Brooklyn for aged and destitute females. He pre- sented the subject in a clear and effective manner; and after all the bad treatment this church and its pastor have received at the hands of the Long Isiand Association for the past four years the Doctor was not only most cordially entertained, but the little church responded in pledges and cash to the amount of nearly $400, Four years ago, when Mr. Jones took the. charge of this church, it was a mission church and was receiving $400 a year from the Missionary Board of the association to aid it in sustaining its pastor. ‘This appropriation was cut off, and the Board re- used to pay the sum of $100 that was then due, and has Kept up a war upon It ever siuce. The firstyear that Mr, Jones was with the church such was tne increase of its congregation that it not only paid his salary ($1,200), but newly carpeted tue house throughout, put in a new organ at a cost of $875, repainted the house inside and out and gave for the various denominational objects nearly $100, It has siood the storm, and has now so far become a self-sustaining church as to Jend a liberal hand to help on the associational work; and, sink- Ing all persona! feeling, thus comes up and ‘heaps coals 01 fire on the heads” of its enemies. Such an example of the real spirit of Christianity is not only worthy of record but of being told in the HERALD, the most widely circulated paper and the most attentively read paper tn the country. As the denominational press is in the hunds of our enemics and would not let any good of us be known for fear it would reflect on the bad conduct of the association toward us we look to you for What 1s our just due. ONE FOR ALL, An Appeal from Tuscumbia, Ala. No, 4 WINTHROP PLACE, NEW YORK. To THE EpIToR OF THE HERALD :— Ihave received the following irom the Rev. Mr, Deavenport, pastor of the Methodist church in Tuscumbia, Ala.:—‘‘You have, perhaps, seen an account of our terrible calamity. Last Sunday evening @ storm, such as the oldest has never seen, swept over our town, leaving its northern half in ruins. Oh, sir, it 1s @ sad, sad sight! My heart bleeds over the poor, homeless, breadless, clothesiess ones of my charge. They must have help. Our house of worship is badly damaged. an you not send me help? Brother, present our cause to your people. 1 plead tor the widow and orphan and for the Church of God. Shall I plead m vain? I believe not. Can you not raise and for- ward to me $5007 You would if you could only see our suflering.”” It will give me pléasure to receive, acknowledge and forward donations to this gentieman, to be distributed ag the donors see fit. CHARLES F. DEEMS, Pastor Churcn of the Straugers. Bishop Cummins’ New Idea. To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:— It is good ior tne HERALD to give such room to religion, for a great journal ought to help Chris- tianity, Bishop Cummins’ late sermon against mullinery and mummery people, ana their trying to call themselves Catholics was worthy of his free Christian mind. His new departure pleased very much many good men and women who were sorry about the Romish tendency of so many Pro- testants, He can be a great success if he is only bold and original enough. He must strike the mind with something new as Lutner . He has just said in his sermon against millinery and mummery that the Prayer Book was not reformed enough, in which he is rignt. This Romish tendency ts helped oy Romish words in the prayers. ‘Consistency is a jewel’ to all true hearts, and I do not like to read tn the Creed that “I believe in the Holy Catholic Church’? when I am 4 Protestant. Now, I am glad to hear, as people say, that Bishop Cummins ts going to Teiorm the Creed so that “L believe in the Holy Ghost, the ‘aa Protestant Church,” &c., will be substituted. This will bring him thousands of good and pious men and women who will réad that Creed with satisfaction and believe what they are given to read, NOAH PETERSON. An Odd Fellow on Mr. McFadden. To THE EpITOR OF THE HERALD:— Ido not request your insertion of this commu- ication on the score that I have taken your paper for the last twenty years, having done so from the fact that I find a fair remuneration for my outlay, but I desire the publication of this short epistie in your journal upon the principle [ have ever known promulgated by you, viz. :—the right of reply when character is attacked. Such attack has been made in your issue of the 27th ult. by a correspondent who signs his communica- tion “C, A. McFadden.” I have no desire nor capability of writing a long article, but would simply state that lama member of Unity Lodge, No, 283, I. 0. of O. F., and @ member of Fortitude Lodge, No. 19, F,. ana A, M. Being, therefore, an Oda Fellow and a Mason, I regret ex- ceedingly to find a gentleman so far de- ficient in knowledge, though entitled to the aMx of reverend, denouncing the socte- ties of “Odd Fellows ,and Masons as one of the great curses of our country and the enemies of religion and morality.” I will not follow in the footsteps of the teacher of morality by affirming that he Is stating a “falsehood,” but in the spirit of friendship, love and truth I assert that he is per- fectly ignorant of the principles, actions or teach- ings of these institutions when he writes that “they are a curse to the country and the enemics of religion and morality.” The secrecy imposed on me stands not in the way, nor ts it @ barrier to my giving the reverend gentleman such informa- tion as he seems to lack. All lodges of Odd Fellows, of the Independent Order, subordinate or grand, are opened and closed with preter solemn and tervent, addressed to the same Heavenly Father as the Rev. 0. A. McFadden prays to. And alter Teading the minutes of the previous meeting the first business 1s for the principal officer of thelodge to make that beautiful and Samaritan inquiry, “(Does any brother Know ofa brother who is sick or in distress?” The information given, the Wired relie! (always at hand) is without stint afforded. It is with feelings of pride that 1 make the as- sertion that Odd Fellows relieve their own dis- w ed; relieve, visit, watch and attend their own sick, no matter how long the continue; relieve their own widows ana orphans, aye, and send their thousands of dollars to the relief of Shreveport, Memphis and Chicago in their Treat calamities, all out of their hard earnings. ‘o ald sought trom the outside worid, no throw- ing ourselves upon the charity of any corporation; bat, Face, citizens and Christians, knowing that Gos will help those who helo themaelyes, we leg- n the taxes and Durdens that, as a natural re- it, would fall upon society were it not for the aan of such morai and religious institu- ns, Rovert Burns, the poet ya “That facts are chieis that wunna stan’ dispatin’.” I shall give my triend and brother a few facts that suould sat- isfy him or any other friend whose mind is not Warped by prejudice and bigotry. The Indepen- Gent Order of Odd Fellows in the state of New York alone number 35,655 contributing members and 402 lodges, The regate amount of relief aid by he Order last year amounted to Bii00, 472, or nearly @ million and a half of dol- lars. We number nearly half a miluon in com- pliance, and our annual aggregate revenue ap- proximates $5,000,000, I may, therefore, with some equity ask the question, What immorality, what irreligion am I guilty of in thus combining with my jeliow Man, no matter what sect or creed he may advocate, to elevate our Characters and prepare for adversity in the days of our prosperity, making ourselves better hus- bands, better fathers and better members of society ? There are many more Odd Feilows than ministers, and I would advise my worthy iriend, the kev, C. A. McPadden, of Mahanoy City, when next he wants to write about the immorality of his neighbors, to take a short excursion to Phila- deiphia, Brooklyn, New Jersey aud several other places where strong suspicious circumstances among brethren of his own cloth might produce the text for a good letter about “The Enennes of Religion and Morality.” ° A MEMBER OF UNITY, 283. atholicity at Greenpoint, L.

Sequestration of Religious Institutions in Rome, A Roman correspondent of the Freeman's Jour- nal writes that, on November 9, the civil authori- ties of that city took possession of the Convents of San Pantalio and San Marta, in Monticelli, that the little Church of San Matteo, attached to the late monastery of Basilican nuns, is being rapidly razed tothe ground to make way for improve- ments, and that the Church of St. Eusebius, be- longing to the Society of Jesus, is doomed to de- struction for the same reason.

It was then that Mattathias, the first of the Asmonean family, revolted, and he and his descendants called, on account of the banner they | bore, the ‘Maccanees,” fought the syrian army, killed Apollonius, its general, vanquished their ioe, purified the Temple, which had been polluted by order of Antiochus, restored divine service, and on the twenty-fiith day of Kisley (December 4), Harucha, the feast of dedication was instituted, and, to this day, is annually observed. It was one of the many attempts during the existence of the Israelites to blot out their name and nation from the earth, or to compel them to abandon their faith and accept the enemy’s idea of religion. Their object was not to destroy Jews but Judaism. But looking at it from @ Jewish standpoint the Jewish Messenger thinks 1% would have been a@ sad day for tne religious status of the world were thé Jews not in exist- ence now to be @ living witness of the truth of revelation. In cleansing and renovating the Teui- ple, atter its projanation by the Syrian infidels, a bottle of the holy oil was discovered, from which / theoretically at least, the perpetual lights have been kept burning belore the ark im Jewish syna- gogues througuout the world. Hence, in cele- brating this festival, which continues eight days, additional words of gratitude are poured jorth to the Creator, and additional lights are burned in the synagogues and dwellings for eight days, commencing with one and adding one tor each | day till the number eight is reached,an memorial O1 the jar of oil which, although it apparently had only oll sufficient for one night, yet it continued burning ior eignt nights. Every Israelite in whom the latent spark oO! religion still exists does not Tefraia from performing this duty, which may readily be assumed at so trifling an expense, | causing no sell-venial, Services appropriate Lo the Occasion were preactied yesterday im most of the synagogues, Keformed Israelites espe- cially consider this festival pecullariy uppropri- ate jor their observance. 1t ought to be, says the Jewish Times, reinstated ty its Mull pristine glory, and the character of its celebration ougnt tobe Jormed to appeal to the young to inspire them as worthy soldiers in the cause of enlightened pro- gressive Judamm. It should be surrounded with Such attractions as will secure it a welcome rece; tion in every house, 1t can be made a social featl- val, and it is the duty of the ministers to seize upon every opportunity by which the regenerate Jewish idea can be brought home to the heart and intellect of their brethren. The battle 18 not yet ended. The adherents of the ancient faith, says the Times, have still to keep guard and defenu | their sanctum from invasion and desecration. They are still under obloquy for the vigorous maintenance of tne heritage which they have borne along through centuries, and in not few countries are they the butt of ridicule and tne ob- ject Of persecution.

The result was that | the property was suffered to go amicably | in the interest of Mr. Edwin Booth, although by no | connivance on his part, for a sum greatly below { its real value. Outside bids, which might | otherwise have deen plénty, notwithstanding the | unfavorable condition of tbe market, were pre- | vented partly by sympathy with the bankrupt and | partly by tne apprehension that the decree of fore- | closure might be reviewed and subjected to a tedious legal alchemy. The latter impression was created by a question ag to the personal property, which 18 understood to in:lude the fixtures in the theatre. These would be the property of Mr. Booth’s creaitors outside of the reaity, which lat- ter was alone subject to the foreclosure; hence the | theatre would be purchased, with the lability to | such @ dissection a8 might remove its vitals, | ‘These complications, even in a better siate of the market, would have interfered with the bidding. | ‘The statement that Mr. Bootn’s lawyers offered | a check for the foreclosed mortgage prior to the | sale is wholly incorrect. Lf such an offer was | made at all it must have come from Mr. Bell, the transieree, for the sake of preventing an appar- | ently bad record against the property, such as | might be made by a depressed sale, The erroneous report would imply coliusion on the part of the bankrupt, or a concealment of funds trom his creditors, Mr, Bootn’s personal character is sufliciently irreproachable to correct such @ mis- statement with those who know him, and since his financial troubles commenced his best efforts have been directea toward the interests of his | creditors, The favor extended by them to the bankrupt is satisfactory evidence of this tact, OREMATION IN DRESDEN, A second act of cremation nas been successfully performed in the same oven at Dresden tn which | the body of Lady Vilke was consumed, The body was again that of a lady, the young wife—aged only twenty-three—of a South German physician. The hall around the furnace was decorated with flowers, and in every other respect the solemnity which should attend so serious a rite was duly observed, No clergyman could, however, be found to take part in the ceremony and speak a burial address over the dead body, so Herr Siemens, the con- structor and proprietor of the oven, delivered a brief but impressive speech, aiter which the comn ‘Was committed to the flames. The process of cre- Mmation was screened from the cyes of the lady's friends by an iron qoor, but a small number of physicians and other scientific men witnessed th operation through a slit in the wall.

Governor Dix’s Veto and Its Effects. Views of the President and Secretarv. The Road To Be Extended Despite the Veto—Prospective Increase. in the Number of Trains. The announcement that Governor Dix has ve+ toed the Elevated Railway Extension bill has created consideravie interest in this city, more especially among the residents of the west side, Who are in the habit of riding on the cars of this road. Popular sentiment seems to view the veto with regret, as everybody is in tavor of promoting the cause of rapid transit in every possible man- ner, and, as but very few people knew that the company still enjoy the right of extending the road to the Harlem River. This point is one of preat importance, and will allay all anxiety on this score, Yesterday morning Mr. J. A. Cowing, the Secre- tary of the road, was questioned in regard to the Governor’s veto of the bill. He said he did not know whether it was customary for private in- dividuals or corporations to receive oficial notifl« cation of the vetoing of a bill by the Governor or not, but ifsuch were the case he had not been notified; nor had any one connected with the road been imformed of the fact except through the | medium of the public press. THE SECRETARY'S VIEWS, The Secretary stated, farthermore, that the company had expended $1,300,000 in the con- struction of the road, and thought themselves en- utled to some consideration. As @ proof of the fact that the road was a public necessity he Stated that they commenced to run their traing with 200 passengers per day, but now they carried 3,000 daily. For the year ending September, 1874, the number of people carriea was 796,072 and for the year previous 643,000, ‘The bill, said the Secretary, is a modest one, and, had it been passed, we could by no meang have infringed upon the rights of any citizen, un- less the Gilbert Company looked upon us as cut ting into them. The old bill, under which our road was built, said Mr. Cowing, does not admit of our providing such protection to passengers as we desire, nor does it allow us to furnish the road in as comfortable a manner as we wish todo, In wishing to extend our road from Greenwich street we only desire the grant-of 15,000 feet more of track, and the extension to the Central Park would give the people rapid tranait, such as they are not likely to have for a long time. VIEWS OF THE PRESIDENT. The newly elected Presiaent of the road, Mr. Milton Courtright, made subsequently a similar statement. He said that it would be indecorous Jor him to criticise the action of the Governor, more especially as he had not even been notified of the veto im any official manner. With proper delicacy Mr. Courtright refrained from alinding in any way to the reasons which prompted the Gov- ernor’s action; but he, nevertheless, expressed the assurance that the public would teel very sorry if the news of the veto were to prove to be true, and ielicitated himself upon the fact thas even the defeat of the bill could not prevent the company Irom perfecting, improving and extend. ing tne road. This was to be done at Ce so that the road should. be completes uy to the Central Park before the end of this winter, and another extension up to Seventy-seventh street would then soon follow. Next summer residents of the upper portion of the west side would be able to reach their business places in Bowling Green or its vicinity ‘from the Central Park in only twenty minutes, which, declared Courtright, triamph- antiy, would certainly be a great mn tO the public, THE SAFETY OF THE ROAD, Courtright was then questioned in regard to the safety of the road, concern: which yet such different opinions are. entertained by the public, and replied that the apprehensions of the most timid would soon be dispelled, To-morrow men were to be put to work toimprove ana strengthen the structure so as to make it im- pregnable and shut wut every possibility of an accident. The wheels of the cars are to have “gaiety guards” inside, which will render it abso- lately impossible lor any train to get off the track, | and the ingenious construction of these guards Mr, Courtright explained at length. As regar general usefulness of the road Mr. Courtright ree | marked that the number of trains would be greatly increased, and it was is intention to run a trata about every seven or eight minutes (by despatch- ing three séctions of two or three cars within halt minute of each other at stated times, and thus obtaining the above average), and algo by run- ning thruugh trains to and from the Central Park. To render this le, a8 Well as pertectl: “sidings” would be erected every five-eighths of a mile, and, in tact, nothing would be leit undone to make this the safest road in the country. Mr. Courtright pointed with some pride to the fact that there had oeen no accident on the road for three years, TRXT OF THE u VETO. The following 1s the full text of the veto:— Senate bill No. 237, entitled “An act to authorize New York E£levated Railroad Company to cctaee ie rauroad in the city ot New York and to regulate construction, operaes, aud management thereof.” Not approved. Itas claimed that the articles of asso- ciation, the acts ofthe Lesislature and the legal prow cecdings, under which the New York bievated road Nib da is acting. confer on it the right to cone stract an elevated railway, with double 4 sprouse from its southerly extremity, ant Doar battery paes and throu the fines near Battery place and through the Ninth avenue to Hariem River. But this right is contested by fest Side Kievated Raltway Company. which claims franchise is vested in itself.

In April, 1871, the road, property and Franchises of the company were sold by the Sheritf of the city New York, and were purchased for certain parties, who, with their associates, constitute “The New York Ele- yated Railroad Company,” and who filed, in the office of the Secretary of State,’ articles of association, under that name, on the 5th of December, 187l, ‘These transac- lions have been a subject of continual dissension be- tween some of the oriziual projectors of the enterprise and its present managers before the public and in the Legislature, and a suit has recently been brought by the farmer to dssert its alleved rights against the latter, ‘the corporation organized under the artictes of associa- tion of 1871, as the New York Klevated Kailroad vom. pany, has not received, heretofore, any recognition by the Legislature; but the bill under consideration con- firms it in the gpeeron. of the powers. acquired unde! the generai railroad act, and also of the powers ani franchises which may ‘have been acquired ty company, by purchase under mortgage sale ry, authorizing “it to complete the construction of its elevated railroad within three after the expiration of the time heretofore limited for that Purpose.
