THOUGHTS ON THE INAUGURAL. Represents
the man very clearly thoroughly American
in feeling" says the Hartford Couwana. 'The
President has visibly gained in mastery of the
pen since he came into Office" remarks the
Boston Journal ''1t is painful to observe
that President Grant begins his second term
by openly counting what he calls, in such bad
taste, abuse and slander,'" mourns the Bos-
ton Post Northern opposition). "Brief,
pithy, simple, modest, practical" are few
of the eulogistic explosives used about the In
augural by the Philadelphia Press. "The
spirit pervading the whole is excellent" is the
Hartford POST expression of praise. "Quiet,
subdued, yet hopeful" says the Washington
Chronicle. Commonplace, infrm, puerile,
lacking any and every statesmanlike quality"
is the opinion of the Norfolk Journal South
ern opposition). ''For the most part it is
commonplace and pointless, incoherent and
irrelevant" remarks the Richmond Enquirer
Southern opposition). And this is the way
the comments of the press mostly run-the
administration papers think the Inaugural an
excellent one, while the opposition think the
reverse.

XAVIER UNION.

Essay ON the "Science OF Religion"
by Professor Charles G. Herbermann,
Pm. ID.
There was very large meeting Of the Xavier
Union at the club room, 40 West Fifteenth
street, last evening. The occasion Of the as
sembage was the reading OF paper on
the "Science OF Religion" by Professor Charles
@. Herbermann, Phi. d. Among the distinguished
b. Nicholson, Professor SandersOn Smith, DR.. Eu-
gene b. Murtha, Franklin II. Churchill, Edward p.
Slevin, and Fathers Dealy, Daubresse and Mer-
exhaustive one, aud showed great research and
power Of concentrated thought. IL was devoted
the same subject which was lately delivered
at oxford University. He demonstrated in
a clear and satisfactory manner that Max
MuIlers rst basis was falsely taken ana his cassi-
ncation of religion entirely arbitrary. In fact, he
endeavored and succeeded to the satisfaction Of
his audience, In proving that Munerb facts do noe
bear out his theories.

The Appeals I'm Behalf OF Foster.
The respite which Governor Dix has &C
corded to William Foster, the oar-hook muir
derer, is an unfortunate exercise of Executive
clemency. The fear naturally follows that
after the respite of o few days Is to come the
respite of the death penalty. Justice will
thereby suffer in the name of Mercy. At best
the execution of the law is slow. Weeks
and months elnpse before criminal can be
brought to trial. After trial and conviction
the case is carried before judge for
stay of proceedings and is then heard
before q full bench at the General Term.
This takes time, and still longer time elapses
before the case can be heard and decided by
the Court of Appeals There are many chances
for escape for the prisoner in this weary
round Of legal endeavor in his behalf. If, as
in the case of Foster, all tho attempts prove
fruitess, there is still left 20 the friends of the
prisoner the pardoning power of the Gov
ernor In the meantime public indignation
ceases to be felt. The officers of the law grow
lukewarm, or, having convicted the murderer,
give themselves no further trouble to secure
his execution. The friends Of the criminal
alone are active, and they bring every possible
Influence to bear upon the Executive In the
Foster case the Episcopal Church has been
used as potent instrument, and q minister
of that denomination does not forget to re-
mind Governor Dix that Fosters family ''are
all members of our one household Of faith"
In the papers laid before the Governor Foster
gets character that many better man might
envy, and though his crime was one that was
horrible in its ferocity-a crime which showed
its author to be utterly lost to every feeling
of manliness and honor and vrtue-even Dr..
Tying assures us that the murderer has never
been bad man or drunkard. Though
Foster had grossly insulted ladies who were
under Putnams protection in fit of drunken
ness the reverend doctor seems to find some
justification for the crime in the fact that the
murdered man sought to have the murderer put
off the car as drunken loafer." Because of
this Foster went to the other end of the car,
and, Selling the car-hook, came back to do
his fearful work. DIR. Tying must bring better
reasons than these before he can satisfy ''the
public clamor'' of which he complains All
of Fosters friends, among them ex-Mayor
Gunther, ask for the Communication of the SEN
tence on the ground that Foster never intended
to kill Putnam. This is an insult to justice,
to reason and to common sense No man ever
went to work more deliberately to take the life
of his victim. Neither his anger nor his
drunkenness can be any excuse for his crime.
Of all the letters submitted to the Governor
the only one that is creditable to its author is
that of Mrs. Putnam. Her letter is simply
the wall of heart-broken woman-'tIt will
not restore me my husband to make Fosters
wife widow" This is the logic of the heart,
but not of justice. The time for trihing with
murderers has gone by, and now we must hang
them. g. rrt

A SOCIETY SERMON.

Mrs. Alderdice mt the Seventh Street
Methodist Church Last Night-Dis.
courses ON Various Domestic Cues
tions and Felicity Hereafter.
Mrs. Alderdice preached at the Seventh street
Methodist church last night on society" The
basement OF the church in which the services were
held was well filed. After an opening prayer by the
pastor the lady rose and read the text
Luke kill, "a, on which she based her sermon. Con-
sidered as an exhibition Of oratory and rhetoric,
1t was a failure; however, it suited the auditors
and elected from them several pious EXPLANATIONS.
The lady's is a crying style, and well adapted to
open air service. The basement OF the
church, however, was too small to contain
her volume OF voice; consequently the
effect was tresome and painful to the
ear. Her object was to induce all to turn ere 1t
were too late. She pictured the state of the
blessed and said that ''over the river" all social
distinctions were wiped out and all lived as one
family Lazarus was one OF the shining lights in
heaven, although he was despised and spurned

spain-Incrsasing ieations-The
CarliGts.


C0Tl1Dt0s
Our news from Spain for the last few days
has been Of o singularly muddled character.
One conclusion only has been possible, and
that is that Spain is in condition
bordering upon chaos. The reports of one
day differ from the reports of every other. One
day we are asked to believe that the Republic
is an assured victory. Next day the cause of
Alfonso is in the ascendant To-day, strange
to say, we are asked to believe that legiti-
macy, divine right and Ultramontanism are
once more in Spain to dominate the situation.
Olozaga, the Spanish Minister in Paris, has
notified his government by telegraph that
representatives of the European governments
in Paris have decided to send o collective note
to the government of Spain declaring it to be
their belief that their respective governments
will cease to hold diplomatic relations with
that country if any serious attempt is made to
proclaim Federal Republic. We must take
news as we find it; but it does seem as if the
European government representatives in Paris
were taking upon them, if this report speaks
truth, little too much responsibility. Surely
il is not their business to take such action.
Allowing our readers to judge of this piece of
intelligence as they may think fit, we are COM
polled to notice another singular report Presi-
dent Theirs, it is said, has recognized the
belligerent rights Of the Carlists. This news
is scarcely less astounding than that to which
we have Just called attention. It is Partisan
in both instances and it is probable that this
accounts for its extraordinary character. Presi-
dent Theirs has been lifelong opponent of
divine right How he can, even in seeming,
lend his influence to the Carlst cause, it is
difficult satisfactorily to explain. Is it posi-
BILE that by encouraging the cause of Don
Carlos President Theirs is Of the opinion that he
will ruin the prospects of the Republic, which,
in his heart of hearts, he dislikes? It not i'm
possible that the Republic in Spain will once
again 60 down. It is quite clear that the mo-
narchical governments have no sympathy with
the present republican experiment If they
can thwart it they will II is not impossible
that Don Carlos in the confusion will reach
the throne; but If he should succeed we can
hardly think that his retention of power will
be Of long duration.
