Infallibility.

Our neighbor complains again that we
have not replied to certain one of its
articles, and in courtesy we wish to dispose
of this before proceeding with the main
subject. Our former explanation was mis-
printed. Instead of saying that we had
published an answer to every one Of its
articles, we wrote that we had published
an answer to every one of our articles"
that is, one answer, and that We could not
be expected to publish tro. And our
proposition is still open let the Presby-
feria1 readvanee the argument TO which 1t
refers, and do SO within the limits Of q
legitimate single response, and VIC will
publish it.
On the merits, our neighbor comes back
to the old demand that people must con-
fine their researches into the meaning OF
the Bible to the critical examination of the
language of the Bible ITSELF Now this
| looks to US very unreasonable in cases
where prolonged, patient, honest and
prayerful research bas totally failed to pro
:. duce anything like uuanimity among sin
cere ENG uirers. Take this very doctrine o
Papal Infallibility, for instauce. Here th'
question las been before the public 70

NUMBER rs.

here supposed, but We say that In each
kind,-the writings OF the Fathers, the
history Of tho Councils, the action Of the
Popes, the submission of Bishops nationally
jealous, the testimony of heretics aud enc
mies-there is enough simply to convinoea
sincere inquirer that all the early ages Of .
the Church, including the earliest, held that
the texts Of the Bible conferred Infallibility
upon the Church and even upon the Pope.
Ought not such state of facts, II true, to
have great weight in settling doubt upon
the point, and if so, ought 1t not to be en-
CURED into and brought forwardf
eyes," you will say, 'but even item
am not bound to adopt the Interpretation OF
the Early Church, universal 40 it may have,
been, il totally contrary to reason and
common sense Reason and common sense !!
Why, what can show more forcibly the
reasonableness and even necessity of the
doctrine Of Infallibility, than the doubts
existing on this very question You cay,
that sincere inquirers will not differ on es-
sential points, but what can be more vital,
more fundamental, than q question which
strikes at the root of all other questions,
at the very Interpretation of every reveta.
ton , If men can honestly and sincerely
differ on this question, they can do 90 or
any other. Yet we see the vast and solemn
division of opinions aud consciences exist
ing here in the very foundation of tho
Christian fabric. Is it not reasonable that
Christ should have given an infallible
means of solving such doubtsf
"But" you say, chow 10 it that this
question of the Papal Availability has never
been settled dogmsticslly before, aud now
the Church is eighteen centuries old -
Answer. Because It was never found ne
without exception, held that InfailiSility
was in the Church somewhere; its exact
location in the Pope, independent Of the
Council was not matter Of great practical
importance in the working Of the Church
as things had been heretofore. Finally
circumstances have changed 60 40 to give
the point more practical prominence and ID
has been settled. This 10 the history Of all
other dogmas: Though always existing
as truths and always believed, often cent?
ries elapsed before a necessity arose for
their definition aa articles Of faith, aud NO
doubt the history of the future will be just
like that of The past in that regard.
As to the remainder Of our neighbor's
reply we dispose of it in two remarks. LIST.
Kenrick and Dollinger do not deny our
facts. They, or one of them simply denied
that those facts proved what we claim.
They never dreamed of denying their COZ
rectness as quotations. 2d. 1t is rather
unseemly levity in our neighbor, ia diecus'
sing q serious matter to jest as it does in
insisting that Dollinger is good Catholic
+ authority. On one side we have Dollingel
and a few Freemason Catholics; on thu
other the Pope, all the Bishops and all the
Faithful. The Pope has accommodated
DolliDger yet the Rre.'y'ertq" wants tc
know Which is right, when the question Is
, simply which is Catholic.

Senator Sherman called up the bill for
O reduction of the officers and expenses
of Internal Revenue, by abolishing In
ternal Revenue Assessors, and explained
il, stating that it would save between
two and two and half million dollars
annually.
Senator Sumner asked whether the
Committee on Finance had considered
the propriety of reducing the number of
Collectors of Internal Revenue. He had
been assured by persons familiar with
the subject that the number of Collectors
might be greatly reduced without injury
to the service.
Senator Sherman said that in some of
the large cities it might be practicable to
reduce the number of Collectors, but it
would not be in regions which are
less thickly populated. Besides, a reduc-
ton of the number of Collectors would
not greatly reduce the expense, as they
were paid chiefly by fees depending up
on the amount of business done.
Senator Trumbull said, that as he un-
derstood last June ON this subject, it
provided for q greater reduction of In
ternal Revenue officers, than the pend
ing bill would make. That law author
lied the reduction of the whole number
of assessors and collectors to one hundred
and sixty, while this bill, although
abolishing assessors, would allow the re-
tention of collectors to the number of
about two hundred and ninety. He did
not say he would not vote for this bill,
because he was in favor of any bill de-

A KevoIting convict shaa.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, December 12.-At
the penitentiary, yesterday, during din
ner, convict named John Walker, sent
from Cleveland for highway robbery,
became engaged in a quarrel with col
ored convict. He persistently refused to
come to order, and his refusal excited the
balance of the csnviets, and notwith-
standing the presence of the guards,
eight hundred prisoners rose to their
feet, and for a moment there seemed a
chance for a revolt. The guard called
to Walker to leave the room, but Walk
er refused, and drawing a knife he
sprang from the table and ran at full
speed down the whole length Of the din
ing room and out into the hall. He was
followed by his keeper, and on refusing
to stop, the guard fired two shots, strik-
ing him In the jaw and arm. He then
surrendered, and no trouble from the
other prisoners followed.

Chinese Workmen Create Sensation.

PTTTsBURG, December 12.-The i'm
portation by the Beaver Falls Cutlery
Company, Of a number Of Chinese who
have been introduced into general work
shops OF the company at Beaver Falls,
has caused great dissatisfaction among
the white workmen Of the company.
The coolies in the employment Of the
company at present, number near one
hundred and sixty, the latest addition
having arrived only few days ago. II
Is alleged, that on their arrival, an at
tempt was made TO introduce a number
of those who had first been employed,
into more advanced branches OF the
business. To this the regular workmeD
objected, and allege that they were re-
quested TO instruct the coolies in the
finer branches OF the business, only to
be discharged as soon as the Chinese
could do the work. AS the result, many
Of the workmen of the various depart
ments gave up their situations and
came to this city yesterday, IN search Of
other employment. It is stated that tie
Chinaman works in the position for
TWENTY-FIVE dollars a month, which
heretofore, paid white wOrkmen eighty
dollars per month.
