The Latest Article CONCERNING lnfalii.

The Latest Article CONCERNING lnfalli-
The article relating to infallibility
ian additional article Of the Schema
distributed OH the 9TH ult.) Is drawn
up In the following terms!
"Chaptcr to be added to the degree
upon the Primary Of the Roman
Pontiff, to the effect that the Roman
Pontiff cannot err In the definition
Of matters Of faith or morals.
The Holy Roman Church possesses
the supreme and complete primacy
and prlncipality over the Universal
Catholic Church, which 1t verify and
humbly acknowledges to have received
with the plenitude Of the power OF
the Lord himself in the person of st.
Peter, the Prince Of Apostles, Of
whom the Roman Pontitf Is tho sue
cessor.
And, as above all things, 1t behoovos
Il to make clear the truth of faith, all
questions that may arise upon matters
Of faith must be determined by the
Judgment, seeing that otherwise the
words of the Lord Jesus Christ (Tw es
Petrws, etc.) would be d%isregardad,
That which has been set forth upon
this point has been proved by the re-
suits as in the Apostolic See, the
Catholic religion has always been pre-
served immaculate, and Its doctrine
has always boon maintained at Its
fullest (CSlebrGta).
Consequently we lncnlcate, with the
concurrence OF the Holy Council, and
we define as a dogma Of faith, that,
thanks to the Divine assistance, 1t Is
that the Roman Pontlff, of whom 1t
was said In the person of st. Peter by
our same Lord Jesus Christ, 81 have
prayed for thee,,' etc., cannot err
when, acting in his quality as supreme
teacher Of MI Christians, he defines
what the Universal Church must hold
In matters of faith and morals, and
that tho prerogatlYe of inerrancy or
infallibility extends over the same
matters to which the infallihility of
the church Is applicable, But If any
one should dare-which may God for
bid Ito controvert our present deiini-
ton, let him know that he departs
from the truth Of the faith"

pEFAuLrERs IN THE REVENUE
SERVICE.

There are some very curious circum-
stances connected with the defalcations
of Bailey, the New York Internal Re-
Venue official. The evidence adduced
from various quarters seems to show
conclusively that the Washington atI-
thorities knew, months ago, that Bal
ley's accounts were not correct. But
the Government announces that the
dedication of its servant makes 10 diff
ference, rs his sureties are good for the
entire amount. That depends: II the
authorities at Washington knew
months ago that Bailey was a defiulter
and did not hasten to inform his sure
ties of the fact, they are not response
bic. But If they were content to make
up to the country the entire amount Of
the defaulter's embellishments, that
would mend the matter very slightly.
Bailey had an especially good char
acter. His raids upon the whisky ring
of New York were constant and ener-
getic, and appeared to be prompted by
the most sincere desire that the rev.
enue should not be defrauded ola farth-'
ing. Yet while he was so seemingly
honest he had his hands in the cash
box all the time, and now the question
comes. If this man. who out OF office
was particularly noted for the purity
of his character and his irreproachable
integrity. could be false to his trust
when In office, what reliance can be
placed upon those whose appointments
have been made for purely political
reasons and about whose character
nothing is known to their advantage?
The detection Of II man leads to that
Of many and public confidence des-
troyed in m man Of Bailey's reputa-
ton and antecedents creates distrust
as to the integrity Of those without
reputation. fBailey could not be re-
lied upon not to steal, what may We
properly anticipate from others who
have no characters whatever, except
as successful politicians? Yet this
latter class I'LL nineteen ont Of every
twenty offices In the gift Of the Govern
ment. They are not the best men that
the country can supply they are not
generally men that Il bankers aud
brokers would select to manage their
cash ; but they are politicians, and
that IS the best which can be said in
their favor.

THE monkoN QUESTION.

Mr.. Cullom's contract bill, commonly
called ga bill for the suppression Of
polygamy, etc.," has, we are very
sorry to see, passed the House. Let
us hope that in the Senate wiser coun-
sells will prevail, or, at least, a greater
regard for the public purse. That
crime exists in Utah of \ very grave
character, and which good men would
like to see rcpressed, there is little
question; but it exists also IN New
York to an equal degree, although,
perhaps of a different kind. This bill
proposes to repress the social evil OF
Salt Lake City by using the armed
forces now stationed or that may be
stationed in that Territory. Would
any sane man propose the same remedy
for the social evil Of New York? And
vet why make any difference In the
treatment? Polygamy, admitting the
worst that is urged against 1t by its
most violent or prejudiced enemies, Is
4 moral disorder, and must be treated
rs such. 1t is not deemed worthy oil
prohibition in the Decalogue. Now,
il we should march M army out for
the repression of polygamy, why not
march out another for the suppression
of murder, larceny, lying and swear
ins-the sins of the Decalogue, which
every Christian community adopts Us
the basis of its moral code? This ar
gument, we think, fully demonstrates
the folly of this new war bill. The
fact is, this bill, which proposes a mis-
slonary war, Is but q repetition Of the
great job OF 1857, and it may be we'll
here to recall the main Incidents and
result of that representative Demo-
cratic campaign. In that year, a bill
having been passed authorizing q raid
OIL Utah, ostensibly for the moral pur-
pose of abolishing polygamy, a little
army Of about 1000 men. under Cen
eral Albert Sydney johnson, was
marched across the plains. The army
went out leisurely and comfortably by
short marches and long halts, but there
was activity and hustle at home.
Straishtway the contracts We're given
out, and those who had friends ut court
were made men. The army went out,
camped n few miles from Salt Lake,
and staid there In ease, OIL good terms
with Brigham Young, when they went
back again. The results Of this war are
easily recapitulated: The contractors
at home hcaped up enormous fortunes
ut little cost. The officers OF the forces
encamped in Utah, 1t is currently be-
lieved, acquired u good deal Of West
ern real estate. The men had q two
years picnic, their morals not being
improved thereby. The cost to the
Government of the expedition footed
up some $40, 600, 900, and the institu-
ton of ~polygamy was not hurt. II
anything. It grew stronger, until the
rails of the Pacific Railroad-the real
solvent of the acknowledgement Utah
to the influences Of modern civilization.
You cannot cur q social evil with
4 bayonet, any more than you can cure
n fever with a knife. We trust the
grave error of this bill, political and
social, will be stayed in the Senate.
The Republican party, which has
! fought ont so gloriously the grand war
for the Union, cannot venture to I'M
dertake the experiment of a petty
| Democratic contract campaign.

ComNNE, April 3.-Adyiees from

effect OF the wounds on the evening o.
the LIST. The Indians In this vicinity
have been ~peaceable and friendly fol
some time. The outrage surprised the
citizens. and created fears regarding

FATAL EccENTRIcITy. = Somerset
County Md. has n citizen named
Solomon Tull. Of decidedly eccentric
tastes and habits. Some two years
ago he got measured for his coffin.
aud had n handsome one made and
sent home to his house, thinking like
Toodles that 1t was "a handy
thing to have In the family" Last
week, longing to occupy the snug box,
or possibly feeling that he was carrying
dead stock and looslng interest OH his
investment, he took n knife and cut
his throat. He was seized by his
friends however before he succeeded
in inflicting n fatal wound, and sent
to the Princess Anne jail for safer con-
tlnemeHt than was possible at his
house. Whether he will be indicted
for assault and battery on himself,
with intent to kill, we have not heard.
He seems rational on all subjects ex-
cept dying, but insists that he has lived
long enough. His self-inillcted wounds
have been carefully dressed but are
still very painful. .

The Academy Of Natural Sciences last
evening was In debate upon the late
earthquake. It was the general con-
clusion that the direction was from
northeast to southwest, and that it
was more violent than any heretofore
except those Of 1865 and 1868; that
the point OF outbreak was the same rs
that of the great earthquake ; that its
violence was very different in different
parts of the city.
The investigation by the Coroner In
the case of Robert Nesbitt, who died
suddenly yesterday, reveals the fact
that he was Ill for some time. and the
fright at the earthquake OH Saturday

TIIE COURSE or CuBA.-The latest
reports from Cuba are not Of such
character as to inspire the friends OF
liberty with any very good hopes for
that country. The success Of the Gu
bans has become more than doubtful ;
the little army, that has struggled so
long and desperately against Spanish
odds. seems to be almost at the end of
its career. Its enemy has been too
powerful. and has driven it from post
10 post until there seems scarcely q
place for its defeated patriots TO stand
and rest Il while for r~ecuperatlon. The
amiable policy which has prevailed at
Washington, and which has accepted
with Christian-likc resignation outrage
upon outrage from Spain, Is n OF
those curious features in our country's
history which r as rare as they are
unworthy Of repetition. Cuba might,
but for the aid the United States lent
10 Spain, have succeeded in her rcvolu-
ton, and before this have been free.
From the late action Of the National
House of Representatives It would
seem as if that body had grown tired
Of the policy of Secretary Fish, and
meant that one more favorable to the
aus of Cuban liberty should prevail.
There is even yet time, if the whole
conduct of the State Department
toward Cuba is changed, to save that
island from It's Spanish enemies; and
it is now for Congress to decide
whether or not 1t will lend its aid to
the cause Of a people struggling for
freedom against a more powerful OPP
pressor.
