tian church, that baptism is essen
It&al to saluatton. This error, Of
necessity, introduced infant bap-
tism, until then Uaknoaon tn tie
church, for it was considered worse
than heathenism to refuse the infant
who was liable to die at any mo-
ment, baptism" We observe in re-
gard to this quotation, first, that he
admits, that the doctrine that "bap-
tism is essential to salvation" is a
great heresy; and yet he makes
this non-essential doctrine an in
surmountable barrier between the
union of the baptist and other evan
gelieal churches. Strange that this
is the only non-essential doctrine
but might be tolerated as private
cpinion Secondly, he states a
positive historic falsehood, in say
ing that infant baptism was u,,knoaoa
in the church until the end Of the
third century. This, we assert, is
false, and we are prepared to prove
it. AT present, however, we shall
simply cite the ancient fathers, by
whom it is proven: Justin Martyr,
A. D. 1873; Iren@ous, A. D. 178;
Origin, A. D. 1856; Tortulian, A. D.
1872; Cyprian, A. D, 258. These
eminent fathers of the church all
speak Of the baptism of infants as
custom of the church in their times.
If we are called upon by any Of the
baptist brethren, we can give the
testimony of these ancient fathers.
Such an assertion in the face of
these witnesses, proves either his
ignorance, his dishonesty, or his
impudenGe. AS a further exhibi-
ton of his egotistic bombast, he
says: ut is now admitted by all
really learned pedo- -baptists, that
infant baptism has no authority in
the scriptures" Surely wisdom
shall die with him / wish this IN.
telIigent writer had for the instruc-
ton Of the igaoraat mentioned the
names Of some Of these learned
pedo-baptists who make such adj
missions. This assertion is like the
preceding one that is false, and this
is not true. This is Of a kind with |
an assertion made by an agent last
summer at a baptist association in /
our town in reference to the aoatey
vers5on of the bible, which the
learned bapttStS have been getting
up. He asserted that almost all
the evangelical churches were rep
resented in its translation. Yes,
such a representation as Ohio would
have had in the rebel Congress, had
some of her traitorous sons gone Of
their own accord, aud by them been
admitted to participation in the
enactment Of their pseudo-laws.
This learned baptist, and all his
kind, remind me very much of those
noisy amphibians SC numerous
along our sedgy ponds in spring
time; very clamorous when undis-
turbed; but when the passer by ap-
prOaches, with loud croak, a
plunge, and a splash, they disappear
beneath the waves,

The Farmer That Would not Sell.

The Farmer That Would not Sell
Mr.. Coffin, in his "Four Years oi
Fighting" tells the following Incl.
dent, which occurred as our troops
were moving to Gettysburg;
When the 9th corps passed thro'
the town to Liberty, a farmer rode
into the village, mounted on his
farm wagon. His load was covered
by white table cloths.
"What have you got to sell, old
fellow? Broad, eh ?" said soldier,
raising a conner of the cloth, and
revealing loayes of sweet, soft, plain
bread, of the fpest wheat, with sew
eral bushels oigiAger cakes.
"What do you ask for a loaf?"
81 haven't any to SELL" said the
farmer ra
Haven't any to sell? What are
you here for?"
The farmermadeno reply.
See here old fellow won't you
sell me q hunk Of your ginger
bread 2" said the soldier producing
an old wallet,
"No."
"Well, you are a mean old cuss.
1t would be serving you right to tip
you out of your old bread-cart,
Here we are marching all night and
day to protect your property and
fight the rebs. We haven't had any
breakfast, and may not have any
dinner You are a set of mean
cusses around here, | reokon,p said
the soldier.
A crowd of soldiers had gath
cred and others expressed their in
dignation. The old farmer stood
on his wagon seat, took off the ia.
bic cloths, and replied;
II didn't bring nay bread here to
sell, My wife and daughters sat
up all night to bake it for you, and
you are welcome to all Eve got,
and | wish / had ten times as much.
Help yourselves, boys
"Hurrah! hurrah! hurrah r'
"Bully for you" you're blickm
"Three cheers for the old man !"
''Three more for the old lady p
"Three more for the girlsp
They threw up their caps and
fairly danced with joy. The bread
and cakes were gone in a twink
ling.
"See here, my friend, I take back
all the hard words l said about
you" said the soldier, shaking
hands with the farmer, who sat on
his wagon overcome with emotion,

A Common Council Game Blocked.

The Common Council "ring" has been much
alarmed recently by the movements Of the
Comptroller of the city and the Commissioners
of the Sinking Fund in relation to the markets
and other city property. The patronage and
pickings from the markets and the city leases
have heretofore been controlled by the Alder
men and Couhcilmen inside the "ring," and
have been their main source Of plumber All
this promises to be stopped by the proposition
Of the Comptroller to dispose Of the markets,
which have been cost to the taxpayers and a
disgrace to the city, as well as of all the unpro-
ductive real estate belonging to the Corpora
ton. The Common Council have, therefore,
endeavorcd TO deprive the Comptroller of the
power to dispose Of such property, by repeal
ing a resolution adopted by them in 1864,
which authorized that officer TO sell at public
auction ferry franchises, wharves, piers and
slips and all improved real estate belonging to
the city, at that time unoccupied and yielding
no revenue But fortunately for the citizens
the Comptroller does not hold his authority in
Common Council ut all, but from the charter
Of the city, the State Legislature, and the
Commissioners Of the Sinking Fund There Is,
therefore, no hope for the Common Council.
All they have to do is 10 console themselves
with strong whiskey and strong oaths, and TO
abuse the Comptroller, the Commissioners Of
the Sinking Fund, and the Legislature TO
their hearts content In the meantime Comp
troller Connolly will probably go on with the
good work he has commenced, and pay no
heed TO the rawlings Of Tho Couneilmaulo

The Ex-Mayor Of Mobile on tho Late Riot.
1t appears that the ex-Mayor Of Mobile has
found IL necessary 10 visit Washington, in order
to protest in presence Of President johnson
Ainst the order Of General Pope, who
removed him from ONCE after the fatal riot in
that city. Ex-Mayor withers contends that he
and the other oficials were "msrepresented
entirely. and that they were not responsible
for the bloodshed and violence which occurred
on that occasion but he does not state that he
absented himself from the city at time when
breach of the peace was imminent-at mo-
ment when the newspapers Of the day had
infamed the public mind to degree that free
dom Of speech was not likely to be permitted !;
nor does he state that the polce-accordi to
their own testimony furnished TO himself the
day after the riot--took no steps TO quell the
disturbance but, as we read in their communi-
cations. wero hidden away in various oofss

We reprint elsewhere to-day two articles
from the Christian Advocate, which exhibit
quite an unchristian spirit in denouncing
bitterly and sweepingly what is stigmatized as
the "irreligion" Of the American secular press.
Stripped of their verbiage the loose statements
of these articles may be condensed into the
following assertions:-The secular press has be-
come q success; the religious press is a failure;
therefore, as a curious non sequitur, each de-
nomination must have secular press Of its
own The author of these propositions re-
members the signal failure of one attempt to
establish a metropolitan daily paper on such
principles as he recommends, only to argue
that the failure of first attempt should not
discourage a second. But he forgets that re-
peated failures in Scotland and England had
already demonstrated the impracticability Of
the scheme which he advocates. II is possible
that his motive for reviving the exploded idea
is a project OF his own to convert the Christian
Advocate into secular journal, as Titon has
converted the Independent. But we cannot
aatter him with encouragement If such be his
intention; for experience has hitherto decided
against all similar attempts. We should adj
wise him TO continue his efforts TO improve the
character OF his paper, as the organ Of one Of
the largest and most influential religious de-
nominations.
As to the wholesale denunciations which he
has Illuminated against the secular press Of the
country, we cannot refrain from expressing our
surprise that he has COMPOUNDED the New YORK
HERALD with the irreligious periodicals which
he has consigned to his formidable inder erpu-
gatorius. What journal has given more power
full aid to the waning influence Of the modern
pulpi. than the HERALD by the immense pub
licity which 1t gives every Monday morning to
the sermons preached-some Of them, perhaps,
to almost empty pews-on the preceding Sab
bath The whole country has learned to look
TO the HERALD for the most ample and trust
worthy reports OF the spring anniversaries.
No journal has advocated more persistently
the voluntary principle"-the separation Of
Church and State. None has applauded more
heartily the charitable labors OF the different
religious denominations to promote the highest
interests Of mankind, although our solicitude
TO prevent those denominations from being con-
taminated BY the corrupting influences that have
injured the Churches Of the Old World prompts
us 10 watch vigilantly against the perilous and
growing evils which We lately exposed--the
demands Of religious scots uDon tho public

MaximiIian's PrOcla nation

The proclamation published yesterday, if it
shall prove TO have originated with the ex-Em-
peror Macmillan, will afford the world some
new light as to the character of that Prince 1t
should be noted that it came to US, not from
any of our special correspondents, but through
the associated press, and in such an indefinite,
cloudy way that we cannot trace it beyond
New Orleans. It is t1 be supposed that the
news with which it il associated left Queretaro
not later .nan our special despatch, also pub
lished yesterday. Indeed, as our special de-
spatch came by Galveston, we might fairly
reason that that is the later of the two, and,
therefore, that our correspondent on the spot
should have known of the existence and publ
cation of this notable document, lift were ever
published at Quer6taro or ever came from
Maximilian. Yet our correspondent does not
mention it He gives the latest authentic news
of the German Prince, mentions his illness with
dysentery, and the exertions on his behalf of
the Princess Salm-Salm, but not word of the
proclamation. AS our correspondent at that
point is man to be relied upon, and line
from ha..a ID worth 8 wilderness Of ordinary
press dispatches, we must regard his Silence
as an evidence against the proclamation.
Its authenticity might also fairly be denied
on internal evidence. There is too much of the
vulgar "last dying speech and confession" in it.
II is issued as "warning to all ambitious and
incautious princes" Would Macmillan so de-
scribe himselfi Has he so far adopted Mexican
views al to put himself in the category Of men
who plunge nations into war through needless
ambitionf And Is such characterization
quite consistent with the words in the opening
of the document that he came to Mexico "only
animated with the best faith Of insuring the
felicity of allr In its separate sentences this
proclamation gives itself the lie. It is too full
of purely Mexican buncombe to have come
from European pen. No doubt Maximilian's
feelings against Napoleon would quite justify
the extravagant expressions attributed to him.
The doubt il whether Macmillan would have
given them utterance. While it is always pos
sible that some original paper from the Prince
may have been the basis of this document and
been badly translated or even "doctored" by
the Mexican authorities, we must hesitate to
believe that this document is authentic or that
Macmillan would have issued II even at the
suggestion Of the liberal government and as
the price OF his life and liberation.

purse for the support of UNCONVENTIONAL chari-
ties. What journal has earlier detected and
more boldly exposed the Protcan shapes
under which infaeiity has sought to disguise
itself in the United States? We were the
first to unearth Mormonism, and we have
relentlessly waged war against every other
ism in the long catalogue of ungodly isms
which have afflicted the land. The pious
editor of the Christian Advocate. charges us
with RECKLESS disregard for religion in any
FORM" because he is manifestly incapable Of
comprehending the truly catholic spirit in
which the HERALD regards all forms of Chris
tianity. Where will he find more unreserved
tribute to the energizing and life-giving power
Of Christianity than in the welcome recently
extended by the HERALD to the religious
assemblies which met in this city in Maye
Let one citation suffice :-"In spite of all that
has been and still is being done to defeat its
influence and sap its very foundations, Chris
tianity has grown, and is now indisputably
the mightiest and most aggressive power in
human affairs. Wherever life, activity, energy,
enterprise most reveal themselves wherever
heroism, nobleness, selfsacrifce are dominant
characteristics wherever real, genuine pro-
gress is most distinctly visible, Christianity is
found to be there, and is to be credited with
the RESULT Can the Christian Advocate present
testimony more decided than this!
1t Is impossible to read the complaints or
the Christian Advocate without suspecting that
its real regret is not SO much the alleged
absence of Christianity from the secular press
| as the plentiful lack Of success on the part Of
the so-called religious press. The truth is that
| these lamentations are but the outcroppings OF
| the old and intolerant Puritansm of Few

people, there is hardly vehicle Of any kind
on wheels TO be found, outside OF those used
by foreigners, and that they have no machinery
or labor saving implements, we shall see what
vast field there Is for American enterprise.
They dig or grub the earth, they carry every
thing on their shoulders or in their hands, and
they have no facility Of locomoton besides
their legs They want our improvements
they are looking to us to supply them lmple-
ments Of husbandry, machinery, sawmills, and
steam engines of every description, with
thousand different articles of use among
US in everyday life may, ere long, find
market there. Then they need railroads
and steamboats,, which we can construct
better than any other people. The pro-
duotion Of tea, 1t is said by the Japanese here,
could be quadrupled by Introducing all these
improvements, for they have plenty of cheap
labor. And SO, probably, with rice and other
productions. The movement has commenced
and, to use common sporting phrase, we have
the inside track. If we take advantage of our
opportunities we shall open very extensive
and lucrative commerce with both Japan and
China, and in q short time it will not be neces-
sary to send specie to pay for the tea and other
things imported from there. We may have a
balance of trade in our favor. We may con-
troll the commerce of these great Asiatic
empires. Such, by the judicious management
ofour government and enterprise of our people,
is the prospect of mighty trade on the other
side Of the Poetic.

saloons and restaurants while the riot was at
its height
We learn with some surprise, from Mr..
Withers' reported statement, that the police
were interfered with by the military authorl-
ties in their efforts to quell the disturbance.
The fact is, as we have obtained it from our
own correspondent who was on the spot, and
did not arrive ON the ground until after the
shooting had almost entirely subsidized. What
little effort the police contributed to put down
the assailants may be best appreciated by their
own statements, above referred to, and the fact
that only one arrest was made out of the four
OF five thousand persons present
People will naturally conclude that there
must be screw loose somewhere when the
ex-Mayor and ex-Confederate General Withers
comes ell the way from Mobile to Washington
to state his case and demand a reversal Of
General Pope's order removing him from an
Office TO which the generous secession majority
of the people of Mobile, it is said, affixed the
salary of six thousand dollars per annum as
pension for his services in the Confederate
army. It is not likely that General Pope's
discretion in removing these disturbing ele-
ments will be disputed by the Executive. On
the contrary, we anticipate that he will be fully
sustained, as has been General Sheridan's
actioK with reference to the removal Of Gov
ernor Wells, Of Louisiana, although for different
causes, by the President and General Grant
