The services at st. Patricks Cathedral yesterday

FATHER BURKE AT ST. MICHAEL,s.

Lecture ON the Subject or emo Salvation
Out Of the Catholic Church"-Thc Flesh
and Blood OF Chrtst-Thc Unity OF the
Truth.
The Church of st. Michael, at the corner OF Ninth
avenue and Thirtysecond street. was the scene OF
an immense assembling OF people last evening.
Father Tom Burke lectured upon the subject of
"No salvation Out OF the Catholic Church." His
manner lacked something of its usual fervor and
manly energy. The audience was not fired to any
great degree of enthusiasm although they listened
with marked attention and evident veneratiOn.
He asked what the problem which he presented
meant. 1t meant simply this-that the truth
should be known; not travesty Of the truth,
not a preudiced view; but as 1t was in
God revealed by Him In Jesus Christ
only by the Catholic Church. There alone
was religious belief possessed OF logical unity. The
Church tolerated and permitted no division among
her members. II any man should be ignorant OF
the conditions or salvation he should be cast out of
the mind and thought of God He cOntrasted the
rituals of the Catholic and the Protestant
Churches In very striking manner, and
dwelt long and emphaticaly on the ceremony OF
the flesh and blood Of Christ at the Lords supper,
without eating and drinking which he held that
there could be no salvation. He referred to Crom-
well and Luther and others OF that period
as men whom he had said could not be
saved, and yet the burden OF his perOratiOn was
that the Catholic Church did not damn any one,
bur was lenient unto all, merely ignoring the re-
demptiOnary claims of those who accepted not her
creed.

If Mr.. Rich, as is announced, con
tests the election on the ground of il.
legality, it will make defendants of the
successful candidates, inasmuch as the
illegality, if established, will effect all
alike. The refusal of the Coroner to
hold the election was equivalent to q
declaration that he was a candidate
for Sheriff and fully authorized the
appointment of Commissioner under
the provisions of the law. This view
if sustained, will affirm the legality Of
the election, and if not, it is void as tc
all, and the Offices will be held by the
present incumbcnts until their success,

SERIOUS AFFRAY.-On Thursday
night, of last week, at Rose Hill, near
the Stewart and Montgomery county
line, difficulty occurred between Mr..
James Shelby and negro, in his en-
ploy, named Wade. 1t appears that
the negro had former grudge against
him. and went to his house that night
and cut him severely about the throat
In making his escape, Shelby's broth
er attempted to stop him but was
knocked down by the negro. A writ
was got out, and the negro was arrest
ed and brought back to Shelby's
house, by the proper officers, when a
party of disguised men came up and
took him off and killed him by shoot
ing him. The Messrs. Shelby are
both living, but fears are entertained
as to the recovery of the youngest
one. The above is a statement Of
facts furnished us by gentleman from
that part of the country.
