ee to the witness, calling his attention to Decem- ber 4, 1871, which made no mention of such @ re- | port irom Mr, Beecher, Withess—At the meeting of Dece nder 1, 1871, | the pastor was bot present, and | don't rememuver | anything about ib. Q. Look at December 15, 1871, and state whether that was Lot aa ordinary meeting of the Examin- in. Committee and was not in the presence of ali | the church’ A. At that meeting no business was transacted with relerence to Mr, ‘Tilton; nothing Was ever doue by the meeting in the presence of ihe church ta reference to Mr, Tilton. Mr, Shearman—Look at December 22, 1871, and Sta'e whetier Mr, Beecler was not absent, and if Mv. Hailiday did not oMciate in nis absence? A. ‘That is correct, it appears; Mr. Halliday also of Ucrated im his place at the meeting of December 29; i can see no record of any action in regard to Mr. ‘Tiiton having takeu place; that action may have been in November, and it may have been in October; the meeting of November 3 was tae fiyst at which the pastor said anything about Mr. Tilton’s case; ali he said was that ie would see Theodore Triton and report atan eariy day: Uhiok It Was at that meeting that Mr. Beecher made the remark about Tilton'’s being in dtmMeul- fies; | never read the “Lite of Vietoria Woodnull,” which you show me, and I can't say whether that ds the pamphlet or not, Was not the publication of that pamphlet of the “Life of Victorin Woodniil the ground of the action taxen by the Exanitning Committee? A, ‘Shat work was one of the grounds taken vy the committee In reverence to Mr. Tilton, MR, FRANKLIN WOODRUFF, genior partner of Mouiton, came forward at half- past three, Lf to catch a bird requires only to put come salt on his tail Mr, Woodruff can be a freit orpitrologist. He is a large, beuignant looking man, with a mild, benevolent face, square and solid features, and @n appearance as One uuwilingiy called to @ painful task, In hts baldish bead, neat side locks and Quakerly exterior he suggested somewhat Benjamin Frank- lin, He is the Chairman of the Reform Committee of One Hundred m Brooklyn, “I believe in keeping out of quarrels and scan- dais,’ said Woodruff a jewdays ago in the pres- ence of Mr. Moulton. If such a witness, with his long career and repu- tation in Brooklyn, were to ve allowed to speak Sreely, he must needs exercise a powerful influence upon the verdict, There was, therefore, immedi- ate interest all through the court. Mr. Beecher at once put his Noliow hand over his ear to catch the worcs. In a iew minutes he moved forward be- ween Tracy and Shearman, on whom he seems to rely more than upon elther Evarts or Porter, ‘Tracy was very mci excited, as the testimony of Woodruff was to be used to connect him directly with Moulton as a mutual friend and compromiser of the case, and professionaily a§ disqualitied to have been counsel for Beecher at all. He stood up behind Evaris, who immediately objected to Woodruil proceeding, and as the Judge seemed to sustain the defence Tracy spoke up alertly for the same object. Both Beach and Evarts argued very earnestly at this time, The evidence was expected to be to the effect that Tracy admitted tq Woodruff that Beecher was guilty. Peursali, Morris’ partner, at Roger A. Pryor’s suggestion, went out for a law book, and this de- layed the Court nearly to the hour of adjournment, Pryor ts the scholarly manager of the case, Morris’ Biternate, and very attentive and busy in it day aud night.

Lt 1018 a false narrative it answers the pur- pose ol being the communication upoa which his fesponse, Which ts to afect him, was made, He held that there Is no evidence to show that Mr. Tracy represented Mr, Beecher at ail. Wy. Fullerton here asked the Judge if be would goon with t mM banon of the witness, and the Judge replied tat he was in doubt about the point raised aud wouid hear the views of counsel on the subject. Mr. Beach then arose and read from the testi- mony ol Mr. Moulton what transpired between himself and Mr. Beecher at the time when be went to -ee the pastor and teil him that ois pariners, Messrs, Woodruf’ and Robinsun, thought it neces- gary for him (Moulton) to take some action with fegard to the Woodhull publication, which was | beige disscussed im & paper in the Proauce txchange, and which was injurious to them; he read the recital of what was said by Mr. | Moulton to Mr. Beecher as to the propriety of tak. ing General Tracy into his confidence and decid Inf upon plan of action; ond that Mr. Beecher con-ened ty tus interview and to his telling | Tracy the truth. The counsel arrued that it was | eo uciusively siown bere tat Mr. tracy was ree | coumendes by Beecher, aud thar ne therefore rep- sented Him at that iuterview.

THE WAR OF THE CHURCHES | Rev. Dr. Newman’s Reply to Mr. Glad- stone’s Expostulation. HIS LETTER TO THE DUKE OF NORFOLK. “Only One Oracle of God—the Holy Catholic Chureh and the Pope as Her Head.” —_—_-______ THE QUESTION OF DIVIDED ALLEGIANCE, [From the Liverpool Post, Jan. 14.] On Wednesday, January 13, in London, there ‘was, by Mr. Pickering, of No, 196 Piccadilly, “A letter addressed to His Grace the Duke of Norfolk, on the occasion of Mr. Gladstone's recont Expos tulation, by Join Henry Newman, D.D., of the Oratory.” This is the reply to Mr. Gladstone, to which Catholics have been looking torward witn hope and Protestants with interest. Neither Dr. Manning nor Mgr. Capel bad materially disturbed the chief propositions of Mr. Gladstone’s state- ment, and every one was anxious to see how the most learned, the most skt!!ul and the most suotle of the doctors of the Roman Qhurch would Meet so formidabie an adversary. Waytoubtif the pamphiet will satisfy Catholics, and it will certain- ly not convince frotestants of the logical unsound- ness of Mr. Gladstone's propositions, In many points Dr. Newman retuses to be bound by the hign ultramontane theory, and he, in more than one place, criticises with severity the extreme pre- tensions whicn some of his coreligionists have put forth, In dealing with tne claims of con- Science, witn the Encyclical, with the Syllabus, Dr. Newman uses languege which we think would be repudiaced at Rome, and which cer- tainly would not ve sanctioned by Dr. Manning. Then, to the Protestant mind, there 18 too much of mere subtlety, too frequently an attempt to parry rather than to meet the arguments of mr. Gladstone, and he discusses the question too much in tie spirit of a mere dialecticlan—as jor example, when he treats the commun phrase ‘supremacy of the law,’ as pose sess:ng in 1ts own Sphere as much meaning as the “supremacy of the Pope.” There 1s too an occa- sional tinge of acrimony toward Mr. Giadstoue, such as when he describes the pamphlet as *ap- pealing to the lower classes in the shape of a six- penny tract.” Wichout, however, attempting to examine the reply, we sball endeavor to give the Substance of DR. NEWMAN’S ARGUMENT. The repiy is addressed to the Duke of Norfolk, as “tne special representative and the fitting sample ofa laity as jealous ior the CatholicretigiOn as 1t is Patriotic,” and wili be read with all the more in- terest that the venerable author describes tt as “likely to be my last publication.” While regret- tng that Mr. Gladstone has seen it his duty to speak with such “extraordinary seveiity of our religiou and ourselves,” he admits that much may be sat in explanation of his conduct. He uses language which 18 manifestedly directed at the extreme section of tue ulivamontaue party, aud observes, “There are those among us, as it must | be coulessed, who jor years past have conducted themselves as if no responsibility at- tached to wild words aud overbearig deeds, Who | have stated trutis in the most paradoxical orm, aud stretcaed principles until they» were ciose Upon sNapping, und Who at tengtn, having done their best to set the house on Hire, ieave to overs the task Of putting ont the fame. The Englisn people are sufficiently sensitive of the claims of the Pope without having them, asi m defiance, fourisued in their Jaces.”” ‘Througuout the whole pamphict there is manitest a desire to tone down the claims ot Catholicism and the Pope to the lowest possivle pomt, and to put them in the form least repuisive to the Engish wind. in the introductory remaiks he says that the main question to be considered is wnetner | Catholics cau be trustworthy subjects ofthe State; | has not a foreign power a hoid over their cu: sciences such that wt any ime it may bé used to | the serious perplexity aud injury of tie civil goy- | ernment under which they hve ¥ He complains of | the vigor of Mr. Giadstone’s rhetoric, and thinks it unworthy of Mis high characcer to have in- veighed so strongly against the Cathoilcs, Reter- | ring to the occasion Weich awoke Mr. Gladstone's | alarm to the interierence of the Holy See in the civil affairs of this country, the rejection of the Irish University oill, Dr. Newman altogether “disbelieves in the interposition of Rome in the matter.’ He produces no evidence m support O! the belief, and all that can be said on the other side is that among Well iniormed persons there 1s a strong beliet that “orders”? to the Irisy “bishops on the subject of tue irish University bill were received irom Kome. Iu regard to the lan- guage used by the Irisn bishops bel emancipa- ton, Dr. Newman somits that “it was not such as Would have exactly sui:ed tne atmospnere of Rome; and adds that at that time the clergy, | botn of Eugiand and Irelanc, were educated in Gallican opinions, He attributes the misunder- standing = which then occurred to the | want of direct communications with Rome, | and believes that “it = 18 —sampossibie | that the british government could bave entered | iuto tormal negotiations with the Pope without its transpiring in the course of them, and its becom. | ins periectly clear that Rome could never be a party tosuch a pledge as England wanted, and that no pledge from Cathoucs was of any value to In the next chapter, eatttied “THE ANCIENT CHURCH,” he discusses Mr, Gladstone’s as-ertion that the | Church of Kome has :epudiited “ancient history.” | He answers this by the statement that one of the dis! inguisning features o1 the true Church is her Judepeudence, and observes :— | ‘that whereas itis the very mission of Christianity to bear witness to the Creed and .en Cominandments in a | world Waich is averse (oO them, Rome. is now the one faithini representative, and thereby is heir and succes: sor of chatiree spoken. dauutiess Church of old whose adstone says, the said Kome has repu- diated.

The next subject which he discusses is THE ENCYOLICAL OF 1864, and in discussing he adopts a httle of the tu quoque styie ol argument, He says:— Who will say that the plea of consetence was as @flectual sixty Years ago as it is now in kngiand tor the toleration ot every sort of fancy retigion? Had the always that wondertul elbow-room which it has | ww? Might public gatherings be held and specches made anc republicanisin avowed in the thme of the Ke- geney as is possible now? Were the thoroughfares open To monster processions at that date and the squares and | parks at the mercy ot Sunday manifestations? Could sucontein that day insinuate What their hearers mis took for Atheism? Scientific assemblies and artisans practice it in the centres of poiitical action? Could public prints day atler day or week after week carry on a war against religtin, natural and revealed, az now is the : law or public opinion would not sufler it, ow, DUt we were then in the urch, and had been so trom of the Reiormation, We were faithtul twadition of 1,500 years. All this was calied torytst and men gloried i the name. Now it is calied Mopery and reviled. This argument he iliustrates and enforces at | wiser or better of the Holy Roman « a some length, but admits that the old theory of | toryism has gone to pieces. “Not a hundred | Popes,” he adds, “could have hindered it.” And then comes the following short, but siriking pas- sagt | tut t | which the auty of faith occuptes 4 ' reason for saying that the want of a moral unanimity Rot been made out. In another letter written at the time he says Another ground for recetying the dogma, s'i!! not upon the direct authority of the Council of with ‘he aceepi- ance of the valdity of Its act, per sq is the consideration that our mereitui Lord would not eare so le tur tis elect people, the multitude ot the faithiu as te their visth e head and sueh a large number ot bis Jead them into error, and an error so ser ‘This consideration leads ine ty accept th dogma, indirectly.
