CATHOLIC CHRIsTIANITY---No. IA.

Intimately connected with the doc
trine of election is the doctrine Of the
Perseverance of the Saints. AS the
reason why some believe in Christ, while
ali alike naturally refuse, is that they
are efectually " called from. 8, 800
by the Holy Spirit, Or in other words
"born again." (John l, 13: 3, 8, &c.)
or created in Christ Jesus unto good
works." (Eph. 2, 1O,) and this calling
is in accordance with Gods eternal elec.
ton; so the reason why any Christians
continue stea lfast in the faith and at
tain to the bl9ssedness of heaven, is that
they are "kept by the power Of God
through faith unto salvation" l Pet
l, 5. The calling of believers is evi.
dcnce Of their election to eternal life
2, Pet. l, l0-for Christ has given his
word that they shall never perish,
neither shall any pluck them out of my
hand, My Father, which gave them
me, is greater chan all and none is able
to pluck them out Of my Fathers hand"
So Paul could write to the Philippians,
of whose conversion he had good evil
dence. "Being confident of this very
thing, that he, who hath begun a good
work in you, will perfect it unto the day
of Christ Jesus Phil. l, g.; and to
the Romans. And we know that al
things work together for good, to them
that love God, to them who are called
according to his purpose. For whom
ne did ioreknow he also did predesti-
nate, to be conformed to the image of
his son, that he might be the first born
among many brethren. Moreover whom
he did predestinate, them he also cal
led and whom he called, them he also
justified and whom he justified, them
he also glorifed." Rom. s, $50.
The perseverance of the Saints does not
depend upon themselves for then
doubtless none would ever eduro unto
the oud J" even as none would come to
Christ, if their conversion were left en-.
:irely to their own choice. But it is,
{" whom He predestinated, them He
also called and whom He, called, them
He also justified )" and all thsse He,
not themselves, raised to everlasting
glory, On the passage last cited an old
writer has we'll observed owe must

Correspondence.
PHILADELPHIA, Sep. 2nd, 1867.


Dcdr Aacocate In my last prom.
ised " more anon," and in accordance
with my promise will try to give your
readers some thing from this city.
Trade in almost every branch of busi.
ness is dull as compared with the same
time last year; but merchants are look
ing hopefully for an improvement dur
ing the present month.
Last Wednesday your correspondent
had the pleasure Of witnessing a game
Of baseball between the Mutuals of New
York and the Athletics, on the grounds
of the latter club at Fifteenth street and
Columbia avenue in this city. To say
that the playing was excellent would be
Inadequate to express the admiration Of
the vast multitude assembled to witness
the game. The number present were
variously estimated at from 10000 to
$4,000. You have no doubt been ap.
prised ere this that the Athletics we're
beaten. Of course the Philadelphians
felt bad over the defeat of their crack
club but high hopes are entertained
that they will win the third game of the
match and yet retain the title of Cham
pion of America.
la the theatrical lire matters are
about beginning to wear lively aspect.
At the Walnut street Theatre We have
had for the past three weeks a "Mid.
suner Nights Dream" The scenery
is magnificent, and is said to have cost
thirty thousand dollars to produce it.
But that is all that can be said for It, as
the acting is Indifferent. On the 9th
Instant the grand spectacular drama of
the Black Crook is to be put on the
boards at the academy of music. Every
body who is morally inclined are nom
opposed to its being presented, but your
correspondent will miss his guess con-
siderably it they do not patronize it as
ezpensively as the Devils o0n."-
Lastwise that was the case in New
York.
Little is being said about politics in
this city at present The Republicans
mado their nominations last week. OF
course they put their best men on the
ticket. I have failed to see though,
that they have put any Of the " Boys in
Blue " on their ticket. 1t is supposed
that Gen. Peter Lyle formerly Of the
Penn'a Reserves will receive tho Demos
cratic nomination for Sheriff, and high
hopes are entertained that he will be
elected, as his Republican competitor
never even "swelled the battle afar off.

from the BroohyWe Herald.
TEE EYECUTEO.s'.
OF
CHARLES CHASE.

---------'--
In accordance with the warrant of
John ". Geary, Governor Of Pcnnsyl-
vania, directed to " Nathan Carrier, Jr.,
Esq, High Sheriff of the County Of
Jefferson" requiring him to execute the
extreme penalty Of the law upon the
man whose name heads this article,
preparations for the awful event were
commenced on Monday last, Aug. 90.
Sheriff Carrier, who makes no pretcn-
tious to tenderness or extreme piety,
did all in his power to have betting az
rangements made. The prisoner, who
has all along manifested a stoicism or in.
difference entirely y incompatible with his
present situation, eyinced on Friday last,
something akin to a contrite spirit. He,
at that time, appeared to realize that the
Saviour of mankind, had died, that he,
too, guilty murderer as he was, might
live. That his fondest hopes may be
realized should be the prayer Of every
mother, son, daughter and sister
throughout the whole land.
AS indicated in the previous few lincs IL. g;
NJ Carrier did all in his power to rond-
er the unfortunate man as comfortable
as circumstances would permit. To this
end, he desired all who had a thought
for the welfare of the unfortunate mar
to visit, pray with. and read to him.
For time the efforts of the III; nisters
availcd but little. A lady, however, af
ter the ministers had failed to make an
impression upon the heart of Charley
like an angel, as she proved herself tc
be, led him like lamb, as we hope, tc
the fold of the redeemed.
The scaffold upon which the prisoner
suffered, either guilty or innocent, wa:
erected by gentlemen entirely convers.
ant, as mechanics with that kind oI
business. Disagreeable and unpleasant
a, was their duty, they performed il
properly and feelingly.
On the evening previous to the exc,
cution, the prisoner was baptized by o
Catholic Priest, who attended him on
the scafold, and administered to the dy.
ing man that religious consolation under
the circumstances so important.
At ! o'clock, to day, (28th, } the con-
demned man was taken to the Jail. yard
and after religious ceremonies perform,
ed by the Reverend Father, Charles
Chase, alias Winton, was launched al
the end Of rope, into eternity. His
immortal spirit las winged its way to
the presence of that Judge, who requir'
es no jury, and from whose decision
there is no appeal. With Him we leave
the unfortunate man.
We have, at this time no heart to
crafty morbid curiosity or appetite
by discantiug upon the revolving par
ticulars of the first, and it is to be hoped
the last execution IN Jefferson county.

Heavy Taxation and its Cause.

In the course of an able speech re.
Gently delivered in Ohio by the Hon.
G. ii. Pendletoa, that gentleman stated
that the expenditure of the United
States for the year 1868 " was one hun.
drcd millions more than that Of England,
81! 2aA 32a3 aaa,'r5o, hundred &,3. &1 2:y c' ,,;o16 ;,,
more than that of France. The great
est expenditure Of England during the
Napoleonic wars, when even Russia was
stimulated by her subsidies-wheu
large armies were kept in Spain and on
the Continent, never reached one hun
dred millions of pouuds--leSs than FIVE
hundred millions Of dollars. England
has thirty six thousand millions. The
United States have sixteen thousand
millions. With less than two-fftfs of
the taxable property. our people pay
largely more taxes"
Why are the expenses Of The nation
kept at their present high figure The
war being over, why cannot the dis,
bursoments be put upon peace footing !?
The answer is, the party in authority
will not agree to such p.Tosition.
They are schcming for 4 continuation Of
political power, and in order to make
that a certainty have refused to allow
the Southern States to resume their old
constitutional relations with the Federal
government. Ten States are governed
as military provinces, aud the army
stationed within their borders must be
supported out of the earnings Of the
people. In addition to that the Freed
MANS Bureau is feeding thousands OF
idle, worthless negroes, who should be
compelled to work for the maintenance
Of themselves and their families. This
item of public expenditures will reach
millions Of dollars each year. Then
agtin, the expenses Of putting the new
governments of the unrepresented
States in operation is heavy. Regis
ters are appointed in all parts of the
South, whose expenses are paid, and
there are also other leaks Of a similar
character, out Of which the public
money is running in steady and in-
crcasiug stream. These are few of the
reasons why our taxes are 50 exhorbi-
'aut, but they arc far from being all.
Ia addition to the huge sums ioolishly
squandered to keep the South under. the
heel of Radical tyranny by military
force, tendency to extravaganza in
public expenditures has sprung up
which is absolutely appalling to every
man who soberly reflects over the situa,
;iou Of the country, Vast appropria-
lions are made for every imaginable
purpose, apparently without the least
consideration, and often with an utter
Indifference to the advice Of our most
thoughtful and trustworthy statesman.
l. cannot be that this course can much
,nger be pursued without serious
,ational danger. The time has come
when safety dictates that halt must be
ordered and the people have it in their
power to decide whether it shall be
immediate, Or postponed until disaster
forces it upon us,-Eric Observer.

II Complaint.

We have received a communication
from Western gentleman, who is now
visiting New York for the first time.
He wishes to know why, if the chur-
chcs are closed on Sunday, the beer
gardens are not kept open. He argues
that one or the other place of resort
should be at the disposal of the public,
and further inquiries whether it is true
that, during the summer recess, the
clergy write novels and plays, and thus
approximate Nero, who fiddled while
Rome was burning. He also desired
some Information as to what must be
the estimate placed upon ministerial Ia
bors so readily abandoned for a season,
and suggests as our churches are closed,
we go back to the primitive mode and
have opcu air preaching. To all these
irreverent inquiries, we can but answer,
that where the churches kept open dr.
ing the summer months, common peo-
pie might get into them, and that there
might thus linger tinge Of the lowly
about the edifces, such as would sadly
decomposo the aristocracy upon fheir
resumption of worship. Then what
would Brown do where the churches

better go back where they worship all
seasons alike, if he finds fault with our
way of attending to this matter.-N

AN AWFUL REAPER ACCIDENs.

One of the most horrible reaper acci-
dents that has ever come to our knowl-
ep ed occurred in a wheat field three
miles south Of the village Of Cascade, in
this county, on Thursday August 1st.
1t seems that child but three years of
age rayed from the home ofits parents
into wheat field which was near by,
and fell asleep among the wheat. Be
fore long the father of the child came
along with reaper, driving at a brisk
rate. He was startled by sharp cry,
which was almost instantly hushed.-
Looking down to the sickle he saw what
was once his infant child rolling before
the knives, already dead. He Instantly
stopped the team and got down to the
knives. The little creature was fright.
fully mangled. The sickle had cut and
mangled it from its head to its feet. Its
face was not recognizable, so terrible had
been the work of the knives-its nose
and cheeks and eyes had all been lacer.

ANOTHER CASE OF INFANTICIDE.-
Yesterday after noon two young men
named John Hcisly ard Albert Welper,
while walking along the river bank near
the wator house, discovered the dead
body ola new born infaut floating on the
water a short distance from shore. The
body was secured by two little boys, and
the fact communicated to ocoroner Porter,
who summoned a jury aud held an in
quest. In the opinion of two physicians
who were present the child was fully de.
veloped and must have been born alive.
From appearances it could not have
been in the water any great length Of
time, and probably thrown in late
on Saturday night. No marks of vio-
lence were visible on its person. The
jury rendered a verdict that the child
was thrown into the river by some per-
son unknown. Lssis to be hoped that
the uuleeling mother, Or whoever may
have been the perpetrator of this foul
deed will be detected and punish L.
