Religious D0Rmas-The God Of the Pagan and
the God Of the Christian.

To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD
Moral codes grow out of society. religion
belief to be OF Divine iauthority must be universal
From this standpoint sectariansm Is failure.
Transgresson being simply violation OF our moral
perceptions the pagan and the Christian must be
submitted TO the same standard OF judgment. To
ward the one for the performance Of an act under
certain irresistible influence would be as obviously
unjust to punish the other for the nOnperlormance
OF similar act In the absence OF such influence.
Hence, special Divine revelations are impossible.
There Is utter degradation In adopting as a dogma
OF our faith that which is wholly incomprehensibe;
for 1t may be true or false for aught we know. No
censure therefore, should attach to our lection
OF It, The God OF the Christian is the God OF the
pagan seen through different lens. Science and
learning will ultimately harmonize both into pure
Thesm divested OF bl0od-staned rags and purged Of
flthy essences. To accomplish this Chrlsendom
must be invaded with learned and logical forces that
admit OF no flnessing or special pleading. Instead
OF permitting Professionalism and Catholicism to quar-
rel the true Interpretation OF the text, Thou
art Peter, and upon this rOck,'' &c. we must de-
mand the proof OF any such wordslhaving ever been
uttered by Divine Being, and establish beyond any
peradventure, that the work in which the passage is
to be found is not only contradictory and irrecOncila
BILE with ITSELF but strangely unreliable from Genesis
TO Revelations. We must demonstrate that nobody
knows by whom large portions of 1t were writ
ten when they were written or TO what they
refer. The learned have put 1t In evidence that
Moses could never have written the Five BOoks''
attributed TO him. and thar our present Gospel Ac-
cording to ST. Matthew is possibly, spurious. In
addition II Is notorious that contemporary history is
silent upon some OF the most important events re-
lated IN the New Testament, while 1t Is equally GER
tain that the suierings OF Christ have been exag
eerated to pitch wholly unwarranted by the CIR
cumstances or the casetakng them all for granted

malefactOr tiat had ever been executed at Ieru-

who have the handling Of money and
the payment Of debts to put their
houses in order, and adapt themselves
to the change of circumstances. The
full merits of the question were not
under consideration and the court
confined itself strictly to the
question before the court. The va
rious points that may arise out Of
this decision are too Numerous for us
to attempt to follow them at tho
present, in detail, but We notice q
few of them. ,.ts .
Cndcr it all contracts made prior
to 1852 arc payable in gold. All
railway and other corporate mortga-
gcs; all State and municipal loans;
all contracts entered into previous to
that time are payable in coin. This
adds sne fourth to the debts of mort
gagged roads. corporations. states and
individuals. In the case Of incor-
poratcd stock companies it dcpreci-
atcs the stock to the extent Of the
increased amount thus charged up to
each share and in some inst noes
will entirely wipe out tho value Of
their bonds.
The whole tendency of the decision
given demonstrates that if there was
any merit in tho legal tender act it
was to he found solely in the pleas Of
the necessities Of the times in which
it originated. But to the west there
is another aspect Of the case, and
that is our present financial embar-
easements, and the probable influence
it may have in restraining Congress
from further issue of greenbacks or
legal tenders to supply the pressing
need. If its effect is to restrain
their issue and. contraction is to com
mence now, to make ready for an ear
ly resumption Of specie payments
there is little hope Of early relief
from the striugencics now depressing
the money market.
The prices of wheat arc tending
slightly upward although the change
is not sufficiently marked, 60 warrant
any material advance in our home
markets. Below is Il carefully corr
rccted report Of the ma rkets here to-
