CATHOLIC CHRIsTIANITY---No. IS.

As the Catholic doctrine concerning
Election and Perseverance is so fire.
quently spoken against, it may not be
amiss to cite one or two examples by
way of illustrations which may show
that all objections arise from ignorance,
prejudice, or hostility to the truth.
First, Take the apostle Paul. He
was leader in the persecution of the
Christians-was on his way to Damas-
Gus for that very purpose, breathing
out threatenings and slaughter against
the disciples when the Lord sJesus
appeared to him-tho prosecuting Phar-
isee became humble and most Jealous
christian. Here was the calling of one
who was mt only chosen to salvation
but was chosen vessel" or "vessel
Of election" to preach the gospel be-
fore gentiles and kings and the children
Of Israel" And when by the spirit Of
God he had been brought to believe in
Christ, he was justified by faith. And
He who had begun the good work in
him. carried it on to perfection. The
Lord had delivered him from every evil
work and, he could confdentially add,
VW preSerUe me unto his heayeay
hingdon,." 2 Tim. 4, Is. But Paul
was an inspired apostle, whose convers'
ion was somewhat miraculous. Take
then the case Of Augustine, Bishop Of
Hippo, three or four centuries later.
There was nothing that we should call
miraculous in the conversion of young
man Of thirty, whose life had been divid-
ed between the ambitious pursuit Of rhe.
toric and grovcling sensuality, to an earn
est christian and able preacher of the
gospel But in his confessions Au.
gustine reviews the way in which God
led him-afer having suffered him SO
long to walk in his own way-'how God
called him according to His own free
and sovereign purpose, and kept him and
strengthened him, working in him
mighty ii; It'll as He wrought in Paul,
In the case of such men, we not only
have examples of that electing and pre-,
serving mercy, which take place equally
in case ofevery true christian, however
humble, but we see how God preserves
His church-so that no weapon found
against it shall prosper 50 that 81 the
gates of he'll shall not prevail against it.

1t is amusing to see with what
solicitude the Radical leaders are ems
deavoring to keep the mokes " from
desiring Office, even while so vocifer,
ously demanding justice for them. If
justice requires the ballot for the me-
groes, justice also demands that they
should get share of Offices in proper
ton to their numbers. 1t is not just
for a small minority of Radicals to use a
larger number of negroes, without Civ
ing them even a smell Of the fragrant
hesh-pots. viii the blacks allow them
selves TO be so egregio,sly humbugged ?
Before they tie'themselves to the Rad
ical demagogues, let them have a def,
mite understanding as to how long it will
lie before the darkics shall be fit to hold
Office whether one, two, five or twenty
years heuce.-P d' T.

raE CALIFORNIA TRIUMPH.

The Democratic victory in California
is invested with double significance
when viewed as the turning point in
that tide which is to foat the old Ship of
State again, and rc-establish the Con.
stitution as the chart by which she is to
be steered in the future. The nation has
become alarmed at the revolutionary
lans and purposes Of the Radicals. The
solid business men, the men who hold
-. - ~ -..-- :.,-oetn1
in commerce, manufactures, and vari>
ous other branches Of productive indus
try, do not relish the idea of having the
balance of political power, North and
South, placed in the hands of igno,
rant and prcjudicod negroes. They
feel that neither their capital nor their
interests vii ibe safe if such an infa-
NOUS arrangement is consummated, aud
hence in Connecticut and California the
reinforced Democracy have swept the
decks and prepared them for the com.
ing Presidential battle The vote in
New Hampshire and Vermont also
shows that the rcactionary impulse has
reached those States, though not SO
strong as that marked by the results in
California and Connecticut. In 1866,
the Radical majority in New Hamp-
shire was 1856, while in 1867 it bare
ly reached 2,40O, an enormous failing
off, when the small vote taken into con-
sidcration. Vermont Radica lism drop
rcd FIVE thousand votes from its muster
rolls in one year, which has alarmed the
more oJservant members of the ruling
p1rty, and caused them to speculate as
70 the causes which are thus undcrmni
ing a party, which, for the last six
years, has ruled the country with rod
Of iron, oboycd the laws when it suited
It's purpose, and repudiated them when
such a course was necessary to build up
or retain political power in the States or
nation.
In California, the reaction is bold and
well marked. The business men of that
State headed the section. which swung
clt from the Radical party, and it is
that clcmogt which will revolutionize
the Middle and Northern States. They
will not stand idly by and see the coun.
try ruined in order that few negroes
may be lifted into positions for which
they arc not fitted, either by nature ol
education. The programme Of Sumner
and Stevens is as distaatelul to the scn
sible men Of this section as it is to those
dwelling on the Pacific. Caliiorni

SAN Francisco, Sept. 6. The Dem.

cisco by overwhelming inajoritics.
The returns from the interior con.
tinuc to swell Haights majority for
Governor, ~hich may reach 5000.
The entire Radical State ticket is de-"
feated, and it is doubtful if one Radical
is elected. The result is astonishing
to both parties. Nothing worse was ex-
pected than the defeat of Gorham, the
Radical candidate for Governor, and
two or three others on the State ticket
The Democrats will have a majority in
the Assembly. As fourteen Radical
Senators hold over, and only six Demo.
Gratis, there may be Radical majority
in the Senate, but the election of a
Republican Senator is now impossible.
Mr.. Haight addressed a meeting last
night, claiming the election as pro.
test against the corruption, extrava-
gances, Chincse-negro suffrage, recon-
stluction policy of Congress.
The Radical papers urge renewed ef.
forts to carry the October election.
LATER. Majorities reported from
twenty.seven counties show Haight
Democrat to be 1000 ahead. and the
counties to come in generally give Dem
ocratic uajorities.
SAN Francisco, Sept. 6.--Califor-
mia opposes and rebukes the tyrannical
and disunion policy of Congress.
We have elected Governor, Congress-
men, Legislature, city officers.
Our victory is to the Radicals and

FORTRESS MONROE, September L.
The brig Bcnjamine Delano, before re-
ported, from St. John, N. b., bound to
Havana, has put into Norfolk to repair
damages. On the night of the 3lst
uItimo she encountered a heavy south
east gale, about thirty miles north Of
Hatteros, causing the brig to spring a
leak. The storm continuing,s.,an the
water being four feet in the hold, her
deck load of timber was thrown over
board Her sails were carried away,
but fortunately she obtained help from

Bound to Wilmington, North Carolina,

She has been run on the flats in Eliza

At late meeting of oystcrmen, held
in Norfolk, a committee was appointed
to wait upon General Schofeld in refer
ence to the recent oyster law, which has
given rise to much discussion and
trouble since its passage by the Virginia
Legislature, principally from the fact
that the mode of collecting the tax on
the oysters was accomplished without
system or correctness. The committee
design placing their views before Gen.
eral Schofeld, and expect that by his
decision there will in future be but one
tax to be paid in addition to the pecifc
tax. The great difficulty in the present
law and of which the oystermen have
complained, is that many vessels are
deserting the waters of Virginia, which
they formerly visited, giving an impetus
to trade and brightening up business of
all kinds, and now frequent the Mary
land waters, where there is no other
than the specific tax imposed on
the labors of this entcrprisiug por-
ton Of the community. The heavy
tax imposed by the law on all
vessels engaged in cat ching oysters or in
the trade has the eject of limiting the

THE TEST 0ArHs.-Ths Portland Herald has
the following dispatch regarding the test OATH /:
Washington, Jan. l4.-Justice Field to-day
delivered the opinion Of the Supreme Court Il
the Missouri oath case. John Aluminus. Roman.
Catholic priest, who was indicted for prsachipg
and teaching without taking the oath prescribed
by command Of the State, being plaintiff In er.
ror" The Court decides thatthe oath Ia this
case is unconstitutional, being in nature a nnn-
Ishment without trial. and in its cbaract.r -
post tdeto, and as bill Of auainder the iude.
ment OF the court belowis reversed with Sir.S
tons that plaintiff shall depart without delav
Associate Justice Field also delivered an onins
ion in the case of Garland Man, who, amer
statute imposes a punishment which wa not i'm,
posed at the time the ofeuce was committed;
it is the nature of an CT post faeto law. Attors
neys are not officers of the United States. They
ale officers Of Courts, and hold their offices du <
ring good behavior. The Court is not a regis<
ter of edicts of any power. The applicants OBJ.
tanned pardon from the President, which relieves
them from the consequences Of their offences,
and makes them citizens in the eyes of the law,
whatever they were before the offence was CONS
mtted Congress cannot limit the prerogative
of mercy. 1t cannot be allowed by Legislature.
1t followed that the prayer of the petitioners
must be granted, and also that the prayer Of
Morrell, requires attorneys to take test oath,
must be restrained. Associate Justice Miller for
himself, the Chief Justice and Associates DA-
Wis and Swayne, read dissenting opinions,
maintaining that practice in court and prvile-
ges of attorneys are subject to legislation the
same as judges. Law makes no distinction, but
requires all civil and military officers TO take
the same oath, Attorneys exert marked inhu.
ence over the character of the government, and
it the attorneys in the South had been faithful
to the allegiance to which they are required to
swear, we should have been spared the horrors
of the rebellion. 1t was not claimed by ma
jority of the court that the law was an attainder
of blood, therefore this is not attainder. Nor
does it appear that any indicted person or per[
sons who arrayed themselves in hostility to the
government, and gave aid and comfort to the
enemy, forfeited the right to appear in court
This was not "a criminal but civil proceeding,
wnich affected private rights exclusively. With
regard to the Missouri case, the question involv-
ed rested only with the State ; the Constitution
al restriction that CungreSs shall make no law
abridgiug the freedom of religion was not ap~
plicAbe. Justice Story says the whole power
was left to the State to be exercised according
to its judgment The Constitution of Missouri
says that no such person asdescrlbed shall exN
ercse these functions, unless they show their
loyalty. Precedents were made in support OF
these points.
