The New York "lndependent" "a
Congregational paper), holds the follow
ing slIong language upon the skepticism
Of the day:
"Among the earnest-minded young
men who are at this moment leading in
thought and action in America, we ven
ture TO say that four-ffths are skeptioal
even of the great historical iDcIs OF
Christianity. What is told ot Christian
doctrine by the churches, is not even
considered by them. And furthermore,
there is among them general illcon-
cealed distrust of The clerical body as a
class, and an utter disgust with the very
aspect of modern Christianity and OF
church worship. This skep'icism is not
flppant; lillle is SAID about it. 1t is not
a peculiarly alone Of the radicals and
fanatics; many of them are men OF calm
and even balance of mind, and belong
10 no class of uItraists. 1t is not worldly
and selfish. The doubters lead IN the
most self-denying enterprises OF the day"

The OUTRAGE UPON TnE ORPHANS

~
VI The OUTRAGE UPON THE ORPHANS
EXAMINATION BEFORE JUDoE SPooSER,
ON To-DAY.-Having inadvertently
made an error in our,notice of the al
legged cruelty to orphans, in cur issue
Of Saturday, we now make the correct
statement, in justice to all parties. On
Tuesday last, the orphan boys in st.
Aloysius' German Orphan Asylum,
on Fourth, between Western Row and
John streets, were ordered 10 scrub
the floors. In the evening, three of
the boys, named William Dougherty,
John lager, and Lawrence Zinsue,
were called to account by two Of the
erseers, Bernard E. Frost, priest,
and Burnett Sayre, one of the Teach
ers, who charged them with not scrub
bing the floors clean. .a5
The two men then took each a large
rope, and commenced beating them.
They then took cowhi and whipped {
them again, until the blood ran down
their legs and back. The priest then
took hold of young jaeger by the ear,
and pulled and lore it so thatthe blood
ran down his neck. This severe whip
ping continued until both boys, who
are not over ten years of age, sank
exhausted to the floor They were
carried to bed, and the next morning
were so sore as to be scarce ly able to-
walk. Owingto their inability to per-
form their duties during the day, they
expected another whipping the even
ing, and about six O'Clock the two for
mer ran away from the institution. .
They wandered into the yard Of
widow lady, on SIKH near the Canal,
and asked for lodgings. The woman
applied to took the boys to officer
Thayer, who provided for them during
the mig hit, and learning the treatment
they had received, caused warrants
to be issued for the arrest Of the par
ties. On Saturday they were ar
raigned before Judge Spooner, and
their examination continued until this
morning at ten o'clock, and the par
ties held in $500 bail. We under
stand that the defendants otferas nit
igation, that they have control Of the
house and boys, and the orphans being
unruly, they have to use extraordi-
nary punishment to keep them in
order. They do not pretend to deny
the assault, but claim it was not so
severe as alleged.

TEMPERANCE.-There is no better
or more forcible description of intem-
perance, than given by St. Augustine,
who calls it, ga distemper of the head;
a subversion of the senses; tempest
in the tongue; storm in the body; a
shipwreck Of virtue; the loss Of time;
wiIful madness; apIeasant devil;
sugared poison; a wtet sin, which he
that has it has not himself; and he
that commits it, doth not only commit
sin, but he himself is altogether sin.
"Intemperance has been aptly call
ed" saith FIavel, "the DEVILS bride,
by which he turneth sinners which
way he pleases, he that is overcome
by it, can overcome no other SIN"

OrThere is a young lady at Sarato-
ga, Of such exceeding lightness, that on
Wednesday last a Whit OF wind blew
her over The house, like thistle down.
She is bIue.eyed creature Of Virginia,
and so volatile and ETHEREAL that we
should not be at all surprised ohear that
she had retired from the world, and
taken up her residence in honeysuckle.
aTWe saw her. She was blown up
again the next day, by her aunt, for get
ting too near ight-colored vest.

the Lieutenant Governor of Massa-

We trust these gentlemen will speak
plainly, and spare not, IN their next
communications, 1t is no time for
silence and soft speech. We have a
work to do, which ought to. rest on
the conscience of every man who has
but the lowest sense Of duty to man or
to God. - p
An eminent jurist of this city, of
high moral as well as legal character,
thinks it would be we'll, as one sure
way of reaching the evil, to impose
heavy fine on every man who leases
any building for the sale Of liquor
That men OF responsibility and pro-
fessed piety are willing to make their
gains in this way, is as strong proof
Of depravity as one would desire. We
care not for sects, our own or any
other. We envy no mans religion
or retribution, who contributes in any
form to this frightful iniquity, or fails
to do all he can against it. Ifany
ask what can be done-let them not
merely ask but act. If they like not
the present law, let them devise a
better. If they trust to no law Of
man, let them come together, and see
\ if they cannot do something with the
law Of God. Let the wise and good
men Of this city forget all sectarian

them their petty jealou8ies, and agree
upon something, with the determina-

that RACES for season. This RACES
ceaselessly, and ceaselessly must be
our efforts and our prayers. To say
we can do nothing, is toown ourselves

are moral forces in this city, if com
bined and wisely directed, able to put
forth demonstration, before which
the open law-breakers, the secret ac-
cessory, and the reckless destroyer of
bodies and souls, can be made to quail.
Let no christian hold himself guiltless,
until he has at least essayed to dis
charge his part of the solemn duty.

RIOT, ARSON AND MURDER-BAir county,
Pennsylvania, has been disgraced by the perpe-
tration of another most diabolical outrage within
her borders, by another scene Of riot, arson and
iendish murder, which has hardly parallel in
tire annals Of crime. The outrage occurred on
Wednesday night last, and had its origin in the
| feud which exists between the clans Of Irish
laborers employed ON the line Of public works.
II seems that . % Leinster man wes INST On the
public road by three or four Rardowns," or
Connaueht men, some days previously, and

Leinster men on several sections rallied on the
night above mentioned, and proceeded to the job
on which the offenders against their clan we're
employed, armed with guns and other weapons,
and commenced q murderous assault, firing into
the shantees and putting the inmates to fight
| for their lives. Upon one shantee they pafte-
ularly wreaked their vengeance, firing many
| well aimed shots into il, and finally setting it
on fire and burning it to the ground, together
with its contents, including one unfortunate
inmate, who, for some reason. perhaps from be-
ing disabled by gun-shot, failed to make his
escape. In the morning, his crisped, charred
and dismembered body was found among the
ashes, most revolving and horrible sight, with
the legs burned of to above the knees, the arms
