THE NEW ORLEANS DhMocaAT SUNDAY, DEoRMBnn a. 1871

last week In sermon abolsshing hell, the
trinity, the inspiration OF the scriptures, even
tha Bible itself. in the first proposition, the
abolition OF hell, Beecher was far more earnest
and enthusiastic than In either Of the others,
and showed as much zeal In proving 1t as II he
were personally interested in the matter. eff
God created hell" he asserts, she Is mon
ster more hideous than Satan himself" His
language generally on this subject Is forcible
and strong, and Is only saved from blasphemy
by the fact that Beecher is minister.
In his somewhat celebrated letters produced
during the Tilton controversy it may be re-
membered that Beecher spoke of suffering
the torments of the damned AS he now al
together denies the existence of the damned,
it is probable that he used this expression
simply In Piekwickian sense.
The sermon abolishing hell, however, Is but
the initiatory one Of Beechers new religion.
He proposes In subsequent orations to more
fully and deliberately elucidate his new faith.
He has given already Its general outline and
principles. The main article Is simple
enough. You are to believe as much as you
choose and no more. Faith is not asked of
you, as In other sects. Quite the contrary; il
you wish to believe In hell you can: IL you
prefer to do without it, you can do this also.
YOU can credit the Bible or not, as you feel
inclined.
Such religion Is bound to be popular, and
all the pews of Plymouth Church to be soon
tdled with paying subscribers.

We have read, in manuscript under the
title OF my Neighbors Apples, very clever
adaptation Of one of Sardou's best and
Hprightliest comedies, "Les Pommes du
Foisln." Two well known young gentlemen
u this city, both accomplished journalists,
are the authors Of the work we speak of.
Mr.. Hall, manager OF the Varieties Theatre,
we are informed, pleased with this new play,
has determined to put 1t upon the stage in
the early part Of January next, at which time
q first rate comedy troupe, now performing in
Baltimore, will occupy the boards Of the Va
rieties. We firmly believe Manager Hall
and our two confreres will meet, in this pro-
posed venture, q complete success.

Beecher, who is nothing unless he is sensa,
tional, has patented brand new religion. It
Is convenient one, pleasant one, and will
doubtless become extremely popular. Some
people are so uncivil as to say that, seeing
many empty pews in Plymouth Church,
Beecher came to the conclusion that they
must be filled at any cost He accordingly
came out with this new and comfortable
religion, under the belief that people gener-
ally would be delighted with his invention,
would flock to his church and fill the empty
pews, anxious to get little of this nice,
religion.
The foundation Of this new sect was laid

ReDudiatiOn.

Reputation is always plausible and
often so subtle in its deadly aim as to
present it even in inviting garb.
Sometimes it filings its poison over a
whole community, as it did in Allie
gheny quarter of a century ago, and
sowed dragons teeth in the fertile po.
litical soil that was fallowed by dema-
gogues, from which they have reaped
many times in bitterness, as the MUIR
der and destruction of the present year
so fearfully attest. Now it breaks out
in Virginia under the specious title of
adjustment" meaning to rob honest
creditors to the hearts content of the
debtor and paying the balance. In
Minnesota it took the manly shape Of
flat refusal to pay, and the people
saved q dollar or two each by voting
an ineffacable stain upon the escut-
cheon of their infant Commonwealth.
1t had feeble eruption recently in
Williamsport, where, after enjoying
the fruits of municipal progress for
years, some officials and citizens
sought fame by refusing to pay the re-
peatedly accredited bonds of the city,
The contracts had been made with all
the ceremony of law; had been exc
cuted in honest faith so far as any re-
cord declares; the interest had been
paid and bonds retired in the sinking
fund regardless of the numbers they
bore above the alleged legislative limi-
tation, and these things had been done
by some Of the very officials who sub
sequently plunged into the mire of
reputation. But the factious thOrni-
ness that so often diverts little cities
and progressive villages in the strug-
giles of those who would rule munich
palities but fail to rule themselves, had
its worshipers in Williamsport, and
reputation was adopted as II line OF
warfare by some who knew better, and
followed by others whose ignorance
and easy virtue made them willing tC
have anybody but themselves pay theil
honest debts. A technical Legislative
limitation of the debt of the city tC
two hundred thousand dollars, was
pleaded as the preteX for repudiating
four hundred thousand dollars OF
bonds which were issued and sold
largely III the open market, and the
proceeds received and appropriated by
the city. There was no proposition tC
pay in any other form, but it was an
undisguised effort to defraud innocent
creditors under color of law. Judge
Elwell, before whom the case was
tried below, delivered a careful anC
exhaustive opinion sustaining the va
lidity of the bonds, and the Supreme
Court has affirmed his decision. The
opinion delivered by Justice PaXsor
was elaborate and doubtless covers the
whole ground of proper admonition tC
municipalities as to the creation o
debt; but it settles one principal tha
is most vital-that the people who Sc
lect their own agents must be bounc
by their acts if at all within the scope
of their lawful powers. When the
text of the decision of the court o
last resort comes to hand, twill doubt
less demand the attention ofthe press
For the present it is enough to know
that reputation has no resting place
in the judicial deliverances of Penn
sylvania.
