The RitualIstIc Contest.

Yesterday the canon on Ritualism was
taken up and debated in the Episcopal
Council now being held In New York
Several days ago the Committee on Can
ons, on the part Of the Lower House
made a report Of very decided character
against the so,cAlled Ritualistic practices
Of the High Church party. The report
Is considered an energetic blow OF the ex'
tremists within the Church, inasmuch as
It iiwholly repudiates everything like the
use Of incense, the prominent use Of the
Cruciax, the elevation Of the elements, OF
their alteration by bowing, genuaexlons
&c. From all We can see, however, we have
no idea that the report will receive the
sanction Of either House without much
opposition, and 1t will probably stand lit.
tie or no chance oil adoption in the House
Of Bishops.
In regard 10 this RiLuslsLic controver-
sy, which constantly comes up, like BAN.
QUo's ghost, these latter days, the public
generally do not perhaps have any ade.
Qlatc idea Of Its real significance. People
are too apt to suppose that 1t is question
oIcandles, Of dress, OR gcnulexions. Such
is not tho case. We're it q mere matter
Of taste the contending parties might
easily enough agree to disagree, on the
principle that there Is no use disputing
about tide guStiJuS non est disputandum.
The difference must be one Of essentials
or II could not become so embittered.
1t is really controversy as to whether
baptismal regeneration and the Real
Presence arc not doctrines Of the Episco-
pal Church. Ritualsm Is but the out.
ward expression Of the inward assent
to these doctrines. The condemnation Of
Rtualism will be taken as a condemna-
ton Of these dogmas, and herein lies its
chief danger to the Church. Evidently,
the adherents Of Rilualism are attached
TO their peculiar belief They are attach
ed also to the Church. When the ques-
ton arises which they shall adhere to,
will they cling TO Ritualism? Analogy
inclines US to believe that this will be the
result. All experience teaches that in
religious controversies men cling to their
beliefs, and arc ready to sacrifice much
that they hold in common with others to
the one or two points which distinguish
them from oil others Of their kind.

west OF the junction with the st. Louis,

cided by the arbitration at Louisiana on
last Saturday, was as to the amount OF
rent to be paid for such part Of the road
as has been completed. Upon this point
the award provides the stipulation in the
original contract guaranteeing a mini
mum rental, which was based upon the
agreement that an independent line be-
tween the points already mentioned shall
be sbrogsted, and that the Chicsgo& Al

amount to over two and half million
dollars. The State has paid in cash two.
thirds oil the interest on all new funded
bonds up to January 1st, 1874; but as
nearly ninety per cent of the tax receiVa.
bic coupons go into the treasury as taxes,
the amount heretofore paid in cash is very
small.
The real question 10 be considered by
the creditor is the ability and disposition
of the State to continue the payment In
cash Of per cent per annum on the face
OF the new funded bonds (' Pealers ",
and on the two.thirds OF the unfunded
bonds. The commissioners Of the State
debt have not yet directed the payment OF
that interest Tor July, 1874, as they do
not consider the cash now in the treasury
and the accruing revenue sufficient. 1t Is
apparent that Gn increased revenue must
be provided 10 meet it, and the Legisla-
ture to assemble in December, 1874, must
meet the question OF an increase OF the
taxes or practical reputation Of that
portion OF tho debt not receivable for
taxes.

third West Virginia certificates-it is not
probable that anything will be done by
this State with that portion of the debt
for many years. The increasing volume
ol the sinking fund is an encouraging
feature in the outlook, and also the fact
that large amount OF the recorded debt
is believed 10 be extinct by the loss and
destruction Of bonds during the wsr. It
is estimated that these two causes reduce
the uni1nded debt 10 nearly one.hali It's

A Reminder To Candidates.

Candidates for Office at the coming cleo
ton, should carefully read the oath of of
flee that they will be compelled to take by
Art. VII, Sec. 1st of the new constitution.
It reads as follows:
"Senators and representatives and all
judicial, State, and county officers shall,
before entering on the duties of their re-
spective offices, take and subscribe the fol-
lowing oath or affirmation
81 do solemnly swear Tor affirm that l
will support obey and defend the Constitu-
ton of this Commonwealth, and that l will
discharge the duties of my Office with fideli-
ty that | have not paid or contributed, or
promised to pay or contribute, either direct
ly or indirectly, any money or other valua-
BILE thing, to procure my nomination or
election (or appointment) except for neces-
sary and proper expenses expressly author
lied by law that have not knowingly vio-
lated any election law of this Common
wealth, or procured it to be done by others
in my behalf that l will not knowingly
receive, directly or indirectly, any money or
other valuable thing for the performance or
on-performance of any act or duty pertain
ing to my office, other than the compensa-
tion allowed by law.
''The foregoing oath shall be administered
by some person authorized to administer
Oaths, and in the case of State Officers and
Judges of the Supreme Court, shall be filed
in the Office of the Secretary Of the Com
monwealth, and in the case of other judicial
and county officers, in the Office of the
Prothonotary of the county in which the
same is taken; any person refusing to take
said oath or affirmation shall forfeit his
office, and any person who shall be convict
ed of having sworn or affirmed falsely, or OF
having violated said oath or affirmation
shall be guilty of perjury, and be forever
disqualified from holding any Office of trust
or profit within the Commonwealth"
Although several persons that are hoping
for a nomination this fall are good at
swearing" we doubt whether they
would enjoy the penalty attached to per-
jury. Already one or two parties have
taken steps toward securing nomination,
that would make it dangerous for them to
take the above oath. We think we do
them a favor, by calling their attention to
this matter.

A Child Stolen.

On the 1st Of July, little boy four years
Of age, son of Christian r. Ross, of Phila-

at present unknown. By anonymous let
ters and personals" in the Ledger they
are attempting to negotiate for the return
of the lad, for large sum of money Mr..
Ross finding the police as yet powerless to
aid in securing the return of the child, has
expressed his willingness to pay to the best
Of his ability. 1t is said person has now
been arrested, who it it is thought planned
the affair, but as yet that is uncertain, and
no information as to the whereabouts of
the child has been received to relieve the
anxiety of the parents. 1t is most out
rageous case and if the rascals are success
full in obtaining any money in this in
stance, other similar outrages will follow.
Philadelphians ought to feel very much
ashamed Of their police force.

Another Disaster.

While the Western States are being
scourged by fire, the East and South seem
to be fully as badly affected by water. The
latest disaster occurred in the county of
Hampshire, Mass, and was caused by the
breaking of the banks of reservoir, near
Middlefeld. An immense damage was
done to railroads, factories and private
property. The village of Chester was in
imminent danger of total destruction, and
was saved only by the great number OF
stone arch bridges above II. The whole
loss by this flood is estimated at $500
