tional Convention:

Union Republican Communicable formally
accepting tho nomination Of the National
May instant, II seems proper that some state
ment of views beyond the mere acceptance Of
the nomination should DO expressed.
The proceedings Of tho Convention wsre
marked with wisdom, moderation and patri.
otism, and believe express the feelings Of the
great mass Of those who sustained the country
through its recent trials. endorse their re-
solutions. If elected to the office Of Presi-
dent Of the United States, 1t will be my en-
deavor to administer all the laws in good faith,
with economy, and with the view Of giving
peace, quiet and protection everywhere. In
times like the present It Is impossible, or, at
least, eminently improper, to lay down poll
cy to be adhered to, right or wrong, through
an administration Of four years. New politi.
cal Issues, not foreseen, are constantly arising
the views Of the public on old ones are con.
stantly changing, and purely administrative
the will Of the people. always have respected
that will, and always shall.
Peace and universal prosperity, Its sequence,
with economy Of administration, will Tighten
the burden OF taxation, while 1t constantly
reduces the national debt. Let US have pence.

TupEE CARD MoNTE.-On Friday, as
the steamer Belle Vernon was lying at
the Belmont Mills, four parties, two
sharpers and two "beeswaxers," aboard
the vessel, engaged in the highly in
structive and athletic game OF three
card monte, with the usual result. The
verdant victims Cropped" some fifty or
sixty dollars with their genial compan-
ions. and then with the customary In
dignation of human kind who get
swindled in trying to make money I'M
lawfully, laid in information with the
CITY authorities against the nimble
fingered pair whose delusive arts had
proved too much for their guileless
innocence. The managers of the
little game" proved to be Harry
Hunter and Samuel Gray. August
Miller and friend, uame unknown, were
the yictimized. AS the city ordinance
makes all players liable, whether win
ners or losers, officers Stanley, Myers,
Harrison and Forsyth, took the whole
party in charge. The lovely quartette
confessed Judgment, each man deposit
ed twenty dollars and cost with the
CITY as a mark eff appreciation for the
attention of it's officials and all depart
ed without ceremony or delay. A State
warrant for the same men was issued
by Squire Clohan, but before it could
be served they had passed to more
congenial cline, probably to the State
of Ohio,

progress has been made in extending the railroad
track from both directions Nearly 1000 milsa
of the Main Line and cOnverging branches be

ANOTHER STEAMBOAT ACCIDENT.-On
Friday nigh between eleven and twelve
o'clock terrible steamboat accident &C.
Cured near Madison, Indiana. Two
very fine and valuable steamboats,, the
Jaited States and the America, COLI
ded, which resulted in the burning of
both boats, and the loss of some seven
ty-fve or eighty persons-thirty-three
of whom are supposed to be ladies.
The United States was descending
and the America ascending. A mistake
of signals is supposed to be the cause.
The United States had a quantity of
petroleum Oil on her guards. The Amer
lea struck the United States on
the starboard side, cutting such a
hole as to sink her to her main
deck in two minutes. In thirty
minutes she was mass of flames.
1t is thought that the America might
have been saved, but, as was her duty,
she undertook to save the passengers of
the United States This is a terrible
catastrophe, aud has cast . gloom over
many a community.

| REL IGIoUs LKCTURE.-The Cathedral
was completely crowded at Vespers, on
Sunday afternoon, to listen to the
learned lecture of the Rev. DR.. BranH.
The subject for consideration was
what is Christianity Or the Protestant
system of religion illogical and errone-
Gus.
The Reverend lecturer illustrated by
imagining a candid inquirer after true
Christianity making an application TO
learned member of some Protestant
church for information. TIE learned
gentleman hands to the inquirer after
truth the Bible; telling him that that
book was the complete work Of Cod
that he should take and read it, and
that his own private Interpretation, his
own human reason would be sufficient
guide.
He then adduced serious of argu-
ments in which he proved quite con
clusively that the Bible would not be
a fallible guide, and, consequently,
could not be relied on as the founda-
ton of the true Christian religi on. He
quoted from many Protestant common
tators, who declared that the Bible was
not reliable.
This one is the first of a series of lee
lures which are to be delivered by the
Rev. DR.. on the same subject. We
have neither time nor space to give an
extended notice of the very learned
lecture, and to attempt a synopsis
would mar the beauty of the discourse
and weaken the strength of the lecture.
Such disceurses should he listened to
by the Protestants that their minds
might be disabused of many erroneous
notions concerning the Catholics.
