The New York herald., 1874-11-08

The Won ARNIM CASE Bismarck is not
inclined to leave anything undone which
will serve to crush the enemy of his
policy. All the evidence that can be accu-
mulated against Won Arnim will be used
in the approaching trial. and we have had
several revelations of the intense efforts
which Bismarck is making to secure convic-
ton. Our dispatches to-day show that an
examination Of Herr Hauser, the editor of the
Vienna Presse, has been made in order TO as
certain whence he obtained the information
regarding Count Won Arnim which was pub
lished in that paper The sources of this in
formation he refuses to give, and II is difficult
to see by what means he can be forced TO dis
close the secret. The Won Arnim case is, in
fact assuming still more interesting aspect,
as it becomes evident that Prince Bismarck is
not seeking revenge upon personal enemy,
but is constrained to attack, and, if possible.
crush the representative Of German conserva-
tism.

Pulpit Topics To-Day.

While men are as prone to initiate one an
other as they are at present example, whether
for good or i'll, will have powerful influence
over human hearts and consciences. 1t is,
therefore, important that our models shall be
the best that can bsobtained. Mr.. Macarthur
will present the Apostle John as an example
of victorious young man, and Mr. Boole
will illustrate the power of entire devotion to
Christ by the life and labors of the late Mrs.
Palmer, the evangelist Such devotion, better
known as Christian perfection, DIR. Wild will
show is not gift, but progressive reward
of pious diligence, and springs from abiding
and precious faith in the words of Jesus, con-
cerning which Mr.. Kennard will speak to-day
We know very little concerning heaven
where it is or what it is or how long it takes
to get thither. These are mere speculutions
but we do know something about it, and Mr..
Ganse has collated that knowledge and will
present it to his hearers this morning. Mr..
Corbitt will OF the same time demonstrate that
we shall recognize our friends in heaven, and
that they and we and all mankind shall stand
at the Judgment Day to receive our rewards
or punishments according to the merit of our
deeds. And that we may meet that ordeal
without fear Mr.. Pullman will show us how
we may live Christian lives daily, and thus
living and dying we need not fear punish
ment in the future lie. But salvation SO
great as this is conditioned only on fifth, as
Mr. Hawthorne will show, and not upon an
almost persuaded Christianity, of which MIR.
Merritt will speak. Paul understood some
thing about this salvation, and Dr. Thompson
will follow the great apostle this morning,
and Mr.. Macarthur will catch uD with him OF

estant Episcopal Church true to her traditions
and her name? Is she really faithful to the
Reformation, and does she propose to stay
so?" The Journa! prays that the hand may
be withered and the tongue become dumb
that moves again for debate or strife. The
Methodist does not see anything in the legisla-
ton OF the Convention to lessen the justifica-
uon OF the Reformed Episcopal movement.
After much debating the High Churchmen
remain in full possession. The Methodist
,ninks that Notwithstanding its pretence OF
professionalism, it is really turning its back upon
everything that is distinctively Protestant and
is seeking other affiliations. AS long as the
dogma OF apostolic succession remains the
Protestant Episcopal Church will tend to
ritualistic error.
The Christian Advocate reviews the recent
Church councils which have sat in differens
parts Of the land, including the Methodists
in Canada, forming basis of union for the
several branches of the same family; the Uni
tarians at Saratoga and the Universalists in
this city; the Congregationalists at New
Haven; the Episcopalians here and the Bap-
fists in Brooklyn--in all of which it recog-
nizes signs of real and valuable progress, in
which it rejoices.
The New York herald., 1874-11-08
The Presidents Hilarity.

The President seems to be in high spirits.
The Washington correspondents chronicle the
JOY of the second Washington as something
unusual. The President has never been noted
for his humor and we have regarded him as
under sombre Influences as silent, sad stub
born man. But it seems that the elections
have wrought happy change in his tempera-
ment. At the Cabinet meeting it was felt that
the country was in no danger, the President $
staff officers 'were in admirable temper" the
remarks were all in a good-natured spirit, )"
and the incumbent Washington rather
"treated the occurrences of Tuesday as good
joke" The third term idea she laughed at
as the best joke of the season." Another
correspondent describes the source of all
wisdom as in earnest consultation with Colonel
Mosby, the chief of the Mosby guerillas and
the successor Of Nevada Jones, the Daniel
Webster of Rooster Gulch, in the confidence
of the President Another historian informs
us that the Chief Citizen of this Republic ac-
tually went to the play. This is in itself q
striking indication, as the President is not of
q theatrical mind. The play which attracted
the prevailing Washington was not OF a cheer
tul character. It was "Lear," and we can
fancy our Chief Magistrate listening with
more than ordinary interest to the lamenta-
tons of the discrowned monarch wandering
on the heath and thinking perhaps of Regan
and Goneril as he remembered his treatment
by Conkling and Morton. The supposition

about to go into sackcloth, recall Kremer and
Russell Jones, order Fred out to duty on the
Plains with his proper rank, remove Sim.
mons, change his Cabinet and give us two
years of stirring, bustling times, does not
seem to be justified. The successor of Wash
ington is as calm under the storm as he
was under the rebel hell-fre in tho
Wilderness. He is not afraid The peo-
pie cannot seriously mean to repu-
date him or spurn his administration.
The twelve years OF adulation and incense
and intoxicating praise cannot surely end in
this. 1t is all joke, like Uncle Dicks cleo
ton to Congress. The defeat of Butler is q
rscompense in its way, and perhaps serious
event, but the rest is only fun As for him
self, he does not care much, and we do not
see why he should. He has had good time
He has had more money out Of the Office than
any man who ever held it, for his pay has
been raised He has gone through every mu-
tation of fame and honor. He is sure of two
years more, unless impeachment or death su-
pervene, and why should he care? Let the
good time continue Close the windows, lock
the doors, let the fires burn up, and care
nothing about the storm without While it
lasts the President has sure thing, and if
after him the deluge-why let it come.

gressiye social and political activity. Any at
tempt to undermine the religion Of the people
is an attempt at complete revolution, and an
intellectual rebellion against the chief forces
of history, resulting in social paralysis, is an
act of treachery toward our rights and prerog-
atives.
The root of the difficulty is plainly seen.
Modern science insists upon measuring and
weighing religion with the wrong instruments.
While it is legitimate to drop leaden plum
met from the cornice of column to discover
its perpendicularity, it must be conceded that
the plummet is wholly Intellectual to dis
cover the vertical character Of a mans
creed. The instruments with which we
measure an arc of meridian are
not the instruments with which to
compute our faith in immortality. Mill and
Huxley and Tyndall, starting with the asser-
ton, wholly false, that religion is just like
any other science, have brought to bear on it
their compasses, their telescopes and their
theodolites, and. arriving at no definite results,
have sagely concluded that religion is myth.
Their denials are born of self-conceit. Know
ing something they conclude that they know
everything. Pygmies may swell to their ut
most limits, but they can never become giants.
tortoise may think himself gifted with wings
when he is only carried aloft in an eagles
claws, but he learns his mistake when he
drops and breaks his shell.
The faith of the people remains untouched.
No amount of logic can destroy our moral
consciousness. Whatever the eccentricities
of scholars may be, the religious life Of man
remains, and one consecrated purpose, with its
necessary result of honesty and happiness,
outweighs the scepticism Of ages John
Stuart Mill may deny to his hearts content
and Tyndal and Huxley may cry, Amen, the
faith Of mankind is intrenched behind an
impregnable fortress and reposes securely
beyond the reach Of any logical needle gun or
mitrailleuse

CoNsoLINe ARGUMENT. Nothing displays
more forcibly the abiding hopefulness of the
American character than the tone of the
republican papers in their criticisms of the
recent election. We find most of them
earnestly striving to convince each
other that a democratic majority in
the House of Representatives will give
the republicans an advantage For, they
reason, the possession of a majority will
impose upon the democracy responsibility
which they have hitherto evaded and which
they cannot meet. This is very ingenious
argument, but the gentlemen who have so
long clung to that responsibility can hardly
be expected to appreciate its force. The de-
feated candidate will be apt to lose his temper
and answer these consultations with the en-
phatic words, 'Be brief; l am sick.
The New York herald., 1874-11-08
Surface Thoughts of the Religious
Press.


The Independent highly compliments the
iournalist-poet William c. Bryant on the at
tainment of his eightieth birthday; thinks
the Protestant Episcopal Convention
strained at q gnat and swallowed camel in
its refusal OF a rubric on baptismal regenera-
tion, which doctrine, as declared by that body,
it says is sacramentarianism in its boldest
form, and has no more warrant in the Word of
God than the doctrine of consubstantiation
The Catholic Revieu quotes from English
Church jurists, in support of the view that the
Episcopal Prayer Book contains and inculcates
what Lord Coleridge styles the ''Sacerdotal
Principle but that the enforcement of this
principle will overthrow the Church. The
Revieao thinks the troubles of the Anglican
Church are thickening upon it, and there
seems to be no way of escape therefrom dis
covered yet. The Examiner and Chronicle is
of opinion that the vote by which DR..
Seymour was rejected in the Prot
estant Episcopal Convention implies
higher and stronger feeling against Roman
Catholic doctrine or the approach to it than
o pitch of Protestant zeal is unwonted and
that it must have been stimulated by Bishop
Cummins movement. The Examiner longs
to see the removal from the Prayer Book Of
those superstitious rites now prohibited which
have sprung therefrom by normal develop
ment. While the Evangelist rejoices that the
Convention has dischargeda q can (n) on against
ritualism it is not very confident that the end
aimed at will be secured. Ritualism is strong
and defiant. 1t has been nourished within
the Church, where it still claims place. The
rejection Of DR.. Seymour it does not look upon
as q victory, but rather as definition of the
grounds of conflict between the two parties in
controversy, and it has no doubt that the chal-
lenge will be accepted, and the ritualists will
not be the first to retire from the conflict.
The Christian at Work takes more hopeful
view of the case and thinks DR.. Seymour and
his rtualist friends have been thoroughly
routed. They have received, it says, double
defeat, which, if it does not keep them
quiet, will at least render them poweress
to carry on their proceedings, and henceforth
must cease. We do not SO read or under
stand the canon on ritual. The Church Jour
nal is certain that the whole Church will come
to see that the tendency and temper OF the
General Convention was to bring together and
not to separate, and that it has clearly and
emphatically answered the questions which
. came uD to it from every side. "ls the Prot
