It is sad world, my masters,-a weary, woful
world. Even Mayor Colvin is not exempt from
insult. The Common Council has insulted the
1aw-of6cers Of the city, and through them the
Mayor, by the passage Of the Law-Department
ordinance, and Mayor Colvin has insulted the
Council BY vetoing it. Is there to be no end to
this kind Of thing2 Are sensitive, high-strung,
dnely-tempered, delicately-organized natures to
be lett exposed in this manner to every chilling
wind that blows, to tho elings and nrrows Of
outrageous fortune, the proud mans contumely,
and the spurns which patient merit OF the un-
worthy takes? They manage these things better
in Japan. There, when man has insulted his
chief, he is expected to retire at once to tho
privacy Of his apartments aud plunge knife into
his own bowels.

| vened in Chicago is asked to punish as heresy
the intimation that Catherine, who is assumed
to have had faith in Christ, Jared no better after
| her misdeeds than Socrates or Penelope. Or, to
put the heresy more distinctly, 1t Ii
| sought to punish the suggestion that
| Socrates and Penelope, who never heard OF
| Christ, we're admitted to Heaven on an equality
with Catherine H., who had heard OF him, and
! who had, during forty yea1s of absolute power,
| violated every chapter Of the Gospels.
It has been tho custom OF mankind to hold up
the chaste Penelope Is An example to woman
kind Her virtues and her truth have been sung
in every written language, and during all ages
she has been considered Rs model for all gen.
erations. Now, We are to have it determined
e1 cdhedrd that Penelope is not in Heaven. but
js, with Socrates, among the damned, while
Catherine, who served the devil as perhaps
no other woman did, cheated him OF his lawful
prey By profession Of faith, and ia now among
the elect in tho Now Jerusalem. The prose-
cutor may not 20 SO far as to affirm that
Catherine is actually eayed, but he is bound
to maintain that she il as we'll of in The other
world as Socrates or Penelope. Yet to make out
real case Of heresy it is necessary to assume
that Catherine is in Heaven, and to do this it
must be admitted that in renouncing the Lu-
theran Evangelical Church and faith, and accept
ing all tho essential doctrines OF the Papa1
Church (under different name), she had not
lost her election to the Kingdom Of God. She
was rigid disciplinarian~ She compelled her peo-
pie to attend mass. to 60 to confession, to be1eye
in transubstantiation, to recognize her rs the
head OF the Church, aud generally to believe all
the doctrines OF the Catholic Church. The fol-
lowers OF Calvin in the Chicago Presbytery can
only maintain that Catherine II. is in Heaven by
allowing that ahe went through the portals Of
the Catholic Church, and that she did this after
having abandoned Evangelicalism; and this
they must do in order to establish tho heresy
that good Socrates and Yirtuous Penelope never
met Is warm welcome in Heaven as did the
disBolute Russian Empress. Heresy is an awful
thing, and the spirit Of 1nquisiton is as justifa-
bio now rs it ever Was. We may not burn, hang,
quarter. burg alive, otherwise kill, the body OF
OF religion, the cause Of Christ, demand
now, as they always have, that IN example
should be made OF the man who will dare to tell
the children OF this day that Socrates and Pencil
ope, pair OF heather, are probably among
the elect On an equality with Catherine II.

TIE FOURTH PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.
TheSession of the Fourth Presbyterian Church
has, by an address signed BY all the elders, de-
clared their disbelief in the charges made against
Prof. Swing. and OF their undiminished con-
hdence in the orthodoxy and ministerial fidelity
of their pastor. This declaration, which will be
probably as unanimously accepted by all the
members OF the Church, is an important item in
the consideration Of the probable results Of the
trial now going On. It is generally assumed that
the Chicago Presbytory will acquit Prof.
Swing OF the charges made against him
BY Prof. Patton. In that case, the prosecu-
ton can take an appeal to tho Synod Of
Northe1n Illinois, which is composed Of
several presbyteries, including that OF
Chicago. This Synod may, probably WILL
overrule the Chicago Presbytery. In that case
an appeal lies from the Synod to the General As
sembly Of the Church. 7: is safo to assume,
Judging from the general character and spirit Of
tho prosecutor, that an acquittal by the Chi
cago Prcsbytery will not be accepted as conclu-
sive, and that, to secure = conviction, the case
will DO taken to the Synod, and even to the Cen
eral Assembly. Here comes in the significance
Of the action taken by the Session Of the Fourth
Presbyterian Church. In case Of an acquittal by
the Chicago Presbytery, and = subsequent con-
viction By tho Synod, what is to become OF the
Fourth Church, Thes Session Of that church will
have either to recant it's recent declaration, or
separate from the Presbyterian denomination.
We have had case like this in the Cheney
secession. The adherence Of the congregation
and local government of Christ Episcopal Church
to the pastor led to schisn, not only in this
State. but elsewhere. Is 3 like result sought in
the Presbyterian body? Can it be avoided, it
the prosecution Of Mz. Swing ia persisted in?
Ia not the separation Of the Fourth Church an
inevitable consequence Of the conviction OF Prof.
Swing By tho Synod Of Illinois, or by the General
Assembly, and will the separation be
confined to the Fourth church, Will it
not be as extensive as the sympathy and
agreement among church-members with Prof.
Swing in the Presbyterian body? Ia it not.
therefore, matter for careful confederation
whether this supposed heresy may not BIO 30
magnihed by the prosecution that it will end, not
only in driving out the Fourth Church, but in be-
coming exceedingly widespread and e1tensive7
II the object be to reduce the number Of Pres
byterian churches, and the number Of Presby-
teGaus within the Jurisdiction OF that Church,
then it ID possible that the Swing trial may lead
to much wider echism in the Presbyterian body
Church.

CONSCIENTIOUS DYSPEPSIA,

In tho midst Of the much that ia said upon the
drinking question, 1t is to be hoped that the
words Of Mrs. Emile J. Loyson, the wifo Of Pere
Hyacinthe, will fall upon good ground, and bring
forth fruit an hundred fold. That excellent lady.
in her letter OF "Appreciation and Encourage
ment to the Women of America" gives it as her
opinion that 1.-THE great American ma1ady is the
malady Of the stomach. Conscientious people
become dyspeptics. Non-conscientious people
become drinkers" She thinks 1.-THE appetite
for drink is not necessarily made by drinking.
but in nine cases out Of ten it is created and cul
usc Of pepper. pickles. mustard, spices, hot
bread and pastry. raw meat and grease, and,
above all, by the use Of tobacco. The cry Of q
depraved appetite, an inhamod stomach, ia a.
ways for something stronger"
Madame Loyson urges US to go to the root Of
the matter, which in this case Is no mere figure
OF speech, for she would have US give more at
tentlon to the cultivation Of the grapevine and
less to the cultivation OF rye "Instead Of rye
for whisky, raise grapes, that pure, native
wines NAV be used" This is certainly very
seasouable advice to give in Switzerland, and to
take in America, but what will be Madame LoJ-
sons astonishment when she learns that those
who have assumed the leadership, or perhapa We
should say the edito1ship. Of the temperance
movement in this country, are in IS much OF
q ferment and torment with reference
to the "pu1e, native wine" which
abe recommends, as they are respecting the
denounces. What will abe say upon finding that
the " rin orlinaire and the "a St1asbourg hiese,"
with which abe and her eloquent husband fire.
quently refresh themselves. ia banned by the edi-
tors Of the :. '.crusade with the Rane yehemenco
and aspd1ity with which they animadvert upon the
Liquid fire which is burning up so many Of
our fel1ow-beings7
Again, what will Madame Loyson think when
Committee that answers her letter. that the edi-
tors Of the temperance movement Of this coun-
try do not condescend to take into consideration
what she calls "a the cause" OF this mania for
Intoxicating liquors? What ia dyspepsia to them,
or they to dSBpepsia2 Catch them bringing
their enormous intellects to bcar upon 80 insig-
nidcant question as conscientious dys-
pepsia Fancy their loading Their f.
pounde1s with pickles, hot bread, and
greasel Imagine discussion at one Of their
clubs Of the ''cor1upting appetite" for
tobacco as cause of the craving thirst for old
rye and rot-gut! Ten chances to one, the ardent
spirit who: ahall call upon Madame Loyson in Ge-
Nora, to enlisthar sympathios for the molasses-

co-juice upon her elegant carpet before breathing
out threateningB Of slaughter upon those WHO
make glad their hearts occasionally by glass Of
lager.
Consistency may be jewel, but be is not
teetotaler. He may not be an unconscien-
tious drinker," but he is "conscien-
tious dyspeptic." The u conscientious people
who become dyBpeptics :" from the use OF tobacco
pickles, and pastry have no dealings with tho
unconscientious people who become whisky
sonkers from the Same diet. They strain at the
gnat OF California wine, and swallow the camel
which Madame Loyson calls the j" American NAL
ady OF the stomach"
We believe it was Voltai1e who said that the
welfare Of nation often depended lpon the
good or bad digestion Of it's Prime Minister,
and Motley declares that the gout Of Charles Y.
changed the destinies OF mankind. After asse1-
tions as strong as these, it is little to Say that
the fate Of the cause Of temperance
and sobriety may be determined by the
conscientious dyspepsia OF few fanatics.
There ia reason to fear. at all events,
tlat what Dr. John Hall calls "intelligent and
consistent temperance ~ will mako little headway
because OF the conduct Of those who are intem-
perate in everything except drinking, and would
bo Incorporate in that but for their precaution
OF totally abstaining from it. To expect them
to be temperate in temper would be aB pzepos-
ferrous as to expect them to zee the fundamental
point OF Madame Loyson's admonition. Their
into1ication comes not of whisky. let
us concode, or Of lager-beer, for that
never produces 30 1antankerous DISPOSE
tiou, but it is what the trenchant
French lady calls "the cry OF an indamed
stomach for something stronger" Their bile
found relief in inhammatory rhetoric or mis-
quotations from the Bible. While they are in
vcstigating the Bible, let them find their proto-
types in those who called their Master glutton
and wino-bibber because He came eating and
drinking in moderation what gluttons ate too
much Of, and what inebriates drank to oxcess.

L CHANCE FOR MORTON,

We sYmpathize with the Indiana Oliver. He
has asked for more greenbacks and hasn't got
'em. Moreover, tho refusal has been accom-
panied With the statement, put in diplomatic
language, that Mr.. Morton is an ignoramus in
finance, is blind to the true interests OF the
country, is trying to break plighted faith with
our creditors, the promises Of Congress, and the
pledges OF party, and is, moreover, dis1oyal to
the first representative Of the Republican party.
How else shall ne interpret the Presidents
declarati on:
The theory. In my belief, ia departure from the
true principles Of finance national interest," national
obligations to credtors Congressional PROMISES party
pledges the part Of both political parties, and Of
the personal views and promises made by In every
annual message sent to Congress, and in my inaugural
address.
This crushing rebuff must make the Indiana
Senator very unhappy. he is without honor.
save in his own State. That community, ns he
claims, seems to regard national lying and
national bankruptcy as the proper aims OF
statesman. No such pent~up Utica, however.
can give blr. Morton's powers q satisfactory
field. Ho needs 3 national arena in which to
play gladiator and stab the public credit We
have discovered the place for him. Let him
emigrate to Italy.
The land Of the Sun is his Canaan. In the first
place, its financial logic is Of the school Of Lo-
gan, in which Mr.. Morton ia Buch an adept.
When Secretary Boutwell, spoke slightingly Of
Italian credit, the insulted country said, in it's
Parliament and through It's press: "Amer-
ican credit Ia bad. You're another.
Therefore Italian credit is drst-class."
When London newspaper mildly sup
ported M1. Boutvell's assertion, the ready
reply was: "England had botter not talk about
financial irregularities. Did not Edward Ill, in
the fourteenth century, get 635o00 gold dorins
from the great bankers, Bordi and Peruzzi, and
then refuse to repay them : Therefore
italian credit ia f1st-class." Such log
ic sounds familiar. It's duplicate can
be found in the debates In favor OF the late Ia
mented Act to Put the United States into
Bankruptcy" Italy would suit Mr. Morton,
again, because she makes money on her printing
ooo In 1873 it Was e90,600,ooo. This year it
is SIS, ,oo0, 900. But the presses click merrily
on, and the paper they print is legal
tender. What an ElyBium for an American
inAationist. The one thing that has
been wanting to complete it was the
direct reputation Of some Of the national
obligations. Even this has now been done.
Italy has imposed upon her creditors various
stringent obligations that we're unthought Of at
the time her loans we're made. She has, moro
over, taxed the interest on her bonds l3115 per
cent. This Is straight repudiation, on par with
Mr. Morton's plan Of paying our bonds in green
backs. Nothing more is needed to make the
Senator happy. Let him go at once. II he
wishes company, the country can SPARE Logan.
