Brother Mills is correct. 1t is well known
that the Baptists are among the largest reli-
gious sects in the country. They stick to
each other as no other religious sect does,
saving the Roman Catholics. Let Baptist
clergyman be accused of any crime and the
whole host-from Dan to Beersheba-from
the Aroostook to the Rio Grande-strike the
alarm and granite wall of protection is cast
around him. The Baptists are positively
great power in the land. Let Brother Mills
send in his papers.
The Golden Age bends its bow for shot
at ''Mr. Greeleys Blow at Marriage" This is
only makeshift. Tilton is bringing the holy
marriage relation down to the common stand
ard of sales at horse markets or public pounds
for the disposal of cattle found astray. But
the Golden Age wants to be advertised, and it
is very cheap way Of obtaining notoriety to
have itself talked about
The Independent speaks in an Independent
way about General Butler and the Treaty of
Washington" in the course Of which it
says -
We do not intend to discuss the provisions OF the
treaty They are fatr the three rules according to
which the Alabama claims arc to be adjusted are
o concession and virtual acknowledgment tnaI
our Interpretation OF international law was right.
They cannot be altered nor modified except by an
great pains ana delay. The awards are final, and,
4 resisted must bring about worse state OF feel
ing than followed the rejection OF the Clarendon
Johnson treaty.
The Independent also discusses subject
in connection with the ''Pastor of the Broad
way Tabernacle" in which certain interesting
"reminiscences are introduced. There is, how
ever, one omission, and that is the neglect to
mention some of the abolition meetings, in
which the famous Captain Isaiah Rynders was
wont to figure conspicuously.

The rapidlty with which what Is now known as
the "Old Catholic" movement in Germany has cul-
minated in the Congress" at Munich Is almost un-
precedented In the history OF Church reformation.
Thousands OF the more intelligent members OF the
Roman communion, who a few months ago little
dreamed OF the possibility OF their coming into con-
nict with the Papacy have now actually declared
war against 1t, denying II any hierarchical s0ve-
relgnty, and maintaining the equal Episcopal
rights OF all the bishops OF the Church-rights which
the infalliDllity dogma logically annihllates
And with the annexed concluding SEN
tences -
Luther had his Carlstadt and Munzer. Cranmer
had his radicals The PuritaDs Of the Common
wealth period had their Fifth Monarchy men and
impracticable fanatics; and until II is seen what
Germany will develop 1t will be Impossible to deter
mine the f1nal shaping and direction OF the forces
that have been brought into play. We anticipate q
more radical movement than any that has appeared
vet. 1t Is not for leaders like D0linger to set
bounds to the zeal OF their young admirers.
Referring to the resignation Of the Rev. Dr..
Joseph P. Thompson as pastor OF the Broad
way Tabernacle, the Eoangelist remarks:-
The Christian public will learn with surprise and
pain OF the sudden resignation by Rey. Dr. Joseph
r Thompson OF his Office pastor OF the Broad
way Tabernacle church, with which he has been
residence IN this city, his ability learning and elO-
quence have made him familiar to all our churches.
