Did Calvin cause Scrvetus to be
Burned .

Mr.. EDTroR:-I perceive that you have a
number Of contributors, who, conscious Of
their own abilities, wish to distinguish them
selves by writing for the public press. This
may not be improper, so long as they adj
here strictly to the truth. But there is great
danger that a young writer, whose informa-
ton is not too extensive, and lmpclled by
sanguinc hopes, should make assertions
which are not in accordance with truth, and
while he processes to ~cnlighten the public
mind, may SOW broadcast the seeds OF vice
and error,
What | wish to notice in this communica-
ton, is, the revival Of an old calumny, which
has long since been dead and buried but
has lately been exhumcd, and the loathsome
carcass laid before our eyes, by a writer Oh

Journal of the lG.h inst.
When calumnies are set on foot, there are
some who are ever ready to believe, simply
upon the confident assertion of tn. individ
ual who makes them. Others, more intelll
gently, will suspend their judgment unit
they are rightly informed upon any giyer
subject. For the advantage of such | PEI

The calumny belongs to the assertion tina
Calvin burnt Servetus. scarcely suppose
it possible thai any one could be found j
our day, who, possessing ordinary intell

But it has been asserted with a degree I
confidence, before this intelligent communI
ty, as if it hal never been disproved, and 4

The New Empress Of France
Her American Origin.

The New York Commercial, of Saturday
evening, publishes a communication (from
one who was formerly a resident of Spain
the following sketch, which seems to explain
the family origin of the new Empress of
France very satisfactorily. Her history is
no less romantic than tina: of the Empress
Josephine
"By to-day's advices from Europe we are
told that the Emperor Napoleon Ill. hos
espo1scd a Spanish lady, whose grandfath-
er was British Consul al Malaga, and whose
mother was an Irish lady by the nam Of
Fitzpatrick; also, that this new Empress was
in her own right Countess Teba, although
bearing the name of Mad'lle Moutigo. Thus
much by telegraph. Now the PLAN English
of all this is, no doubt, as follows:
A worthy Scotchman, by the name Of
William Kirkpatrick, was for some time the
American conusl at Malaga, and failing in
business, was succeeded by George Il. Bar
lell as United States consul at Malsga. This
was. | think, under President Monroc'S ad-
minislration.
Mr.. Kirkpatrick's oldest daughter, Maria,
or 'Mariaquita,' as she was Familiarity cal
led and known by all Americans there, was
a very fine, dashing lady, and married the
Count de Teba, a younger brother of the
celebrated Palafoix, who behaved SO gal
lantly at the seige of ZAragoxa, and who, in
reply to a demand OF surrender, declared he
would continue the defence by war to the
knife"
"Tne Palafoix family embraced numer-
Gus titles, and was singularly brave and no
BILE.
"The husband of Maria Kirkpatrick
Count de Teba) was a gallant soldier, and
so cut up by wounds as to be unable to mount
his horse without aid, and when in the sad
die locked more as if he was hooked on, than
seated there.
"The new Empress of the French is no
doubt the daughter OF Countess Teba, Mar
aquita Kirkpatrick who was the daughter
Of William Kirkpatrick, late United States
Consul at Malaga-not British C~onsul-not
Fitzpatrick, and not Irish.
"'rhe British Consul at Malaga was Will
liam Laird, another old Scotch gentleman,
and he was followed by Mr.. Marks. an Eng
liShman.
"If the new Empress Of France was
Countess Tebe, as stated, then her mother
is dead, as also is her father, and she took

A Fine Suit of Clothes for the
President.

The Citizens Of Boston intend presenting
Gen. Pierce with a fine suit of clothes
A correspondent of the New York Herd has
obtained a sight of them. and gives tie fol-
lowing description of the garments"
/. A fine black dress coat, made from the
same cloth which took the premium of the
last Worlds Fair in London. Coat superb
ly lined Gith satin dechone sleeves Innings
also ~ofsatin. Style about a medium between
the gravity ofage and the foppery of "up-
~pertendom."
2. Undress waistcoat of plain black silk;
back of satin dechene, and lined throughout
with white satin.
3. Full-dress vest of plain white silk;
back and Innings of white satin. On the
satin lining of the right side are thirty-one
stars, representing the States of the Union,
forming a circle, wrought in silver. With
in this circle of stars is the Anchor of Hope,
worked in gold. Outside of all is an endless
circle. Translation of these emblems:-'ln
the Union of the States is our only hope
God watches over the Republic-eternnl be
its duration!" On the opposite white satin
lining is wrought a chaplet of bay leaves,
tied at the bottom with a golden knot, out
side of which is another circle of gold.
4. Pants of plain black doeSkin, of the Fl
nest material that can be procured.
5. Undress pants of a plain black, very
fine silk and wool mixture.
6. Overcoat of plain black, superbly lined
and made in the form of a surtout.
This suit is being manufactured by Mr.
H. L. Arlington, Washington street, Bos
ton, a gentleman who is to the tailoring ar
what Greenough was among sculptors. TIN
embroidery is being executed by a lady o
that city. 1t is intended that the suit shall
be the finest specimen ever manufactured ii
America.

Die a. copy, and thus cheopRs human lie.
The .niaence Of Witnessing frequent man
kil.Es IN the heart, is illustrated in the
case Of the soldier and the hangman. and
also in those men who most eagerly flock TO
sac public executions. This penalty is more
uncer ain than a milder one. from its very
>eyeIil, because it excites the compassion Of
Ihs humane for the criminal, and often IS he
permitted TO 60 UNPUBLISHED, or even re-
strained because of the cruelty of this penal
ty. Thus while it promotes the causes, il
takes away the barriers TO crime. Facts
show that where 1t has been executed the
most rigIdly it has not prevented, but apPar-
entity caused crime. On the other hand
history proves that il may be abolished with
perfect safety and with most beneficial re-
suits. Tuscany, Bombay and Russia are il
Illustrations of this argument. The statistics
from England and France, relative to the
abolition of the Death penalty, for many
crimes, show the same rcsult-and those
from Belgium, where there have been no
executions since 1881 are, when thoroughly
examined, strong arguments against this
punishment. If there Were as few murders
rahout as uah the Death penalty, it would
prove that it should be abolished, Tut there
are tetgsr, they that kill must expect the
measure they metc will be measured to
them again. Il is asserted hat Justice de-
mandS the penalty Of death for murder. No
more than Ii does 'eye for eye and tooth for
tooth" Does justice require erring and
talllbIe man to intlict that penalty? How
liable we are to mistake! Hundreds of men
have fallen victims to this law of vengeance,
whose innocence was afterward proved, and
perhaps hundreds more, equally innocent,
whose names now bear the infamy of the
murderer. How can We know the motive,
the provocatlon, the previous educalion-the
paIlIatIng Or aggravating circumstances OF
the criminal even when we are sure of his
guilt? And how can We weigh Just his
merits? 1t takes omRiScieHce to do it, and
therefore God has said, Vengeance is mine,

~
Life is to be held sacred unless we have
the ~clearcst proof of the necessity, the duty
of taking it. In the evidence adduced,
there must be no doubt; for a doubt of the
duty of taking life is Il certainty against ia
king it-as our laws admit, in regard to the
evidence Of guilt. Where is that absolute
proof that the life of the criminal must be
Snatched from him? 1t is said the law OF
self-delence gives the right. / reply chris
tianity limits the right of selr-deience. 1t
forbids you doing something even to save
life. You may not deny Christ, you may
not disobey one OF his commands to save any
number OF llyes-'He that will thus save
his life shall lose it." l deny that the law
Of selt-defence extends SO far us to permit a
violation of the laW,-"Thou Shalt not kill"
"Thou shalt not commit adultery" because,
as in the case Of Joseph, a refusal to commit
the crime would involve us in danger. But
this is not a case Of selt-defence. We have
overcome our enemy, and the question now
Is "how shall We treat a conquered foe?"
We can restrain him and save society
from wrong without taking his life. We may
be the means OF his conversion and reform.
