In another place in the HERALD of this
morning will be found two vigorous discourses,
the one having special reference to the dogma
of infalibility, and the other on the preten-
sions of Rome. From the mass Of able dis
courses which wc print this morning we select
these two, because, as we have again and
again said, infallbility is the question Of the
hour.
worth, young and able divine, very eloquent
anG somewhat poctical, although q little mar
ow-minded for Unitarian, preached on the
question, 'sWhat Would Catholicism Do in
America, if It Could?" IN ST. Peters Episco-
pal church, divine of larger experience, of
perhaps more solid gifts, but less brilliant,
and therefore less popular, discoursed on the
arguments Alleged in Favor Of the Dogma
Of lnfalibility" Both discourses are good
in their way. The discourse of Mr.. Hepworth
will be most admired by the multitude
That of DR.. Beach Will be considered
the more thorough and exhaustive by the
thoughtful and rejecting few. In neither
discourse do we discover anything new. The
one tells US the old story of Papal preteasion
and bigotry and tyranny, and naturally enough
comes to the conclusion that in free America,
no matter what may be done at Rome or in
New York or in Albany, the pretension and
the bigotry and the tyranny can have no broad
or permanent result. America is emancipated,
and she cannot again, politically or religiously,
be enslaved, least OF all by a foreign Power
The other discourse is even more old fashioned,
although more solid. 1t tells us that nfalIi-
bility is not consistent with reason, not con-
sistent with Scripture, not consistent with
tradition. and that practically its results will
be ruinous. Even Or. Beach, however. does
not imagine that either he or his friends are
much in danger.
The real point of interest raised by both
divines is that the Roman Council is somewhat
putting Professionalism into a fright if the
Catholic Church be so antagonistic to
American institutions and to the emancipatcd
American spirit why make such fuss
about il? If infalibility be u humbug,
~ ~ nc uucuppoitSu ~ asaooh. 1N'iFtuls duu
tradition, and utterly opposed to The common
sense of the nineteenth century, why should
sober, serious man like DR.. Beach mako so
much OF il? Why not say with us: Let
the Pope have his own way. II infaIlibility
pleases him let him indulge his pleasant dream.
If the Council has no more sense than pro-
claim the dogma and justify all the nonsense
of the Jesuits and the Ultramontanes gene
rally, let the Council do what it will ana thus
teach this age of growing intelligence the true
value of so-cailed insalible councils" We
need some fresh evidence of clerical folly
on grand scale. To our mind this hutter
among Professionals is good proof that even
they begin to feel the hollowness Of their posi-
ton. Ia Our judgment they are all wrcF.

THR Oneida DISASTER. R.-Despatches from
Japan have informed us that Captain Eyre, of
the steamship Bombay, had been sentenced.
The sentence was six months suspension.
This sentence is simply absurd. Either Cap
tain Eyre was gully or he was not. If he
was not guilty he ought to have been honor
ably acquitted. If he was guilty, as this
sentence surely implies, his punishment
ought to have been commensurate with his
guilt. 1t is not our opinion that we have
heard the last of this matter. II is matter Of
International Importance; and we shall be
surprised if President Grant does not ask
some explanation in the premises

Napoleon and the Pope-Lisht from the East.
Napoleons diplomacy towards Rome, and,
vsce yersa, the diplomacy Of the Holy See
towards France, is exceedingly active just
now. The Marquis de Banneville, French
Minister in Rome, has been summoned to the
Tueries for consultation. He will be thus
engaged with his imperial master during the
next week. The Popes reply to the Cabinet
note Of Count Rsru asking for the admission
OF French lay representative to the Ooun-
Gil, is prepared, but has not yet left
Rome. Cardinal Antonell will ''show OF.
in grand ''splurge" in this state
paper, and, like our newspaper reporters
nowadays, most probably "get ahead Of
everybody" The Ecumenical Council discus
sion Of the twenty-one canons Of the Church
will not commence until after the French Min
lister returns from Paris to Rome. This will
afford a fine chance to Napoleon, as everybody
all over the world viii be rejoiced should he
to cause the assembled prelates to forget all
about the schema, and to lose and mix up their
papers and reports, and briefs and arguments,
notes. in such manner as that they will
finally adjourn if only for health sake, and
in order to enjoy the fresh breezes of the
spring particularly the gentlemen who hail
from the United States and Canada. Napoleon
the First was great authority on canon law,
but his action contemplated only one grand
schema, and his arguments were brief, logical,
and for the most Dart decisive
It will be seen that the Sultan Of Turkey is
about to despatch a special envoy to Rome
on the subject Of the Armenian ecclesiastical
troubles. Should the Marquis de Banneyills

in the Holy Places? Light wanted from

AID TO MEXICO. "A communication from
General Rosecraps will be found in another
column urging the expedency Of our rendering
some aid to Mexico in her efforts Mt internal
improvements. II certainly seems If internal
improvements in Mexico were once assured
on a large scale that she would become one
Of the wealthiest and greatest nations on the
globe, and II is highly probable that if we gave
her good start or helped her materially her
prosperity would reflect greater lustrc on us
snd be an additional security for our own
peace But the great trouble that will. appa-
rently, oppress Mexico forever, is the cause
OF the failure OF all efforts to aid her If Tho
revolutions which are continually prevailing
within her borders were TO subside or be
eiicctually qnel!ed individual enterprise or
government aid would seek her on. and help
build her up quickly enough.

One and all Of them seek to multiply dogmas,
to enlarge and compicate creeds. What We
want is not complexity but simplicity-not to
be tied hand and foot, and made to think and
act like slaves, but to be free, physically and
intellectually; not Rome but Christ; not tho
Pope with his anathemas and his schemas and
his bulls, but Christ, with His simple teaching
and His sweet benedictions. It is time we
were free from all the creeds and back at tho
Sermon on the Mount. Protestants may rail
at Rome as they may, and Rome may forge
her spiritual chains as she will, but thinking
men who love the name and teaching Of
Jesus Christ will fail to find in either helpers
in the great work Of founding and building
universal Church. We have already often
advised the Pope and his friends. We now
advise Hepworth and Beach and the rest.
Let them help us to fewer dogmas, simpler
creeds. We are already impatient of the
yoke. Our fathers fretted under it. We
cannot bear it.

ST. LOUIS, Dec. l5.-The Republican has a special
from Ocemulgee Indian Territory, dated on the nth
instant, stating that the Indian Council was fully
organized, with Superintendent Hoag as President.
Fity-four delegates were present, repres enting

The most important suniect up for consideration Is

bracing all the tribes.
Yesterday Mr.. Campbell Left ore Of the Chcka-
nation, from the special committee, reported in
favor of plan OF organization republican in form.
It provides for executive, legislative, and judicial
departments, the government to he based upon and
be strictly in conformity with the various treaties OF
1866. The plan cOntempates protection of the
weaker against oppression from the stronger tribes,
and is not to be binding upon any until their consent
is obtained.
After the reception of the report the council ad-
journed till Monday, to give time for deiberatiOn
on so Important measure. There is considerable
caucusing over the matter. Everything thus far
has been conducted with decencY and order. W. p.
Ross, a leading Cherokee, in an interview with the
commissioners, expressed himself in favor
OF a confederation without Congressional
interference. Superintendent IIoag has just
returned from an extensive tour among the Chey-
enes Arapahoes, Klowas, and Camanches.
Satanta the noted KiOwa Chief, wanted ammunition,
and complained tnat the Texans came up and shot
his people and wished Camp supply removed he
could hunt the north FORK of the Canadian river
Favorable reports are given OF some other tribes.
The Apaches OF New Mexico were on the head

The excitement and intense anxiety which were
