THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH.
A Lively Discussion Before Meeting Ol
Baptist Ministers In New Y0rk-An An
imated Session and variety Of
Opinions.

1mAted session ana variety Ol
Opinions.
NEW YORK, May 7,-Dr. Tenbroeck drew
out lively discussion In a meeting of the
Baptist ministers by reading an essay on the
Roman Catholic Church He held that the
Church Of Rome would be influenced not
through any principles OF the Church Itself
but through the light dawning upon the
idea Of Imperialism, not republicanism In re-
ligious affairs.
Brother Hedden astonished the assemblage
by saying 81 don't believe true reform be-
gins with Baptists and ends with them" He
found much good in the Roman Catholic
Church.
Brother Holmes vehemently exclaimed: Il
long ago stopped talking against Roman
Catholics. | don't condemn them. They
have a great deal Of Gods truths in them
and with them
Brother Taylor thought the true Christian
Church had stood out against Rome ever
since the days OF the apostles, and the Roman
Catholic, instead Of being the mother church.
was an offshoot from the true Christians.
Brother Sampson said the Pope was losing
control of the Church, and is being regarded
as merely the moral head Of the institution
A voice,, Pope Plus was grand old hero
Brother Rhodes said there must be q re-
{ formed Catholic Church, like the Reformed
Episcopal.
Brother Fox made an earnest appeal in be

embraced the Roman Catholic faith He had
known priests and members Of the Roman
Catholic Church who were just as good and
did just as much for the cause of Christianity
as any Protestant clergyman had ever done
Catholics We're noted for going about doing
good. Their charitable works were proverbiaI
Brother Reed read a quotation from the
seventeenth chapter Of Revelations, which he
thought plainly foretold the downfall of the
Roman Catholic Church.
A voice: "a Catholic said in a Sunday
school the other day that all Protestants
would 60 to hell"
Another voice Some of us Baptists say
all Catholics will be damned"
Brother Tenbroeck thought it not surpris-
ing that the Irish Catholics hated Protes-
tants, as English Protestants had terribly
oppressed Roman Catholics In Ireland.

dents and Governors, and placed in

The remaining planks, with some
slight modification, are such AZ
would enlist the hearty support of
the Bulletin. Malfeasance in Office
ought to be severely punished. We
have already strongly urged that
all officers should be paid a fixed
salary. But there is some confu-
sion on the subject of State Prison
management. To find work for the
convicts which will not clash with
any outside industry, is very diff.
cult. TO keep them in idleness
would be to make honest labor sup
port criminals living at ease. The
last plank, which called for the
suppression of millionaries by tax
alton WAS rejected. That was some
thing that Parson Wellock himself
could not stand. 1t was on his
motion that it was expunged. In
its place was substituted plank
calling for the election of the Pres
ident by a direct vote Of the people.
The connection is not apparent,
but that, perhaps, makes but little
difference. But it was wise TO make
no assault on the millionaires.
Most of our millionaires have risen
from what may be called the ranks.
In the convention which discussed
the problem there were, perhaps,
men who may yet swing millions.

Cham Gang Delivery.

Yesterday morning, while the
chain gang was at work in the
neighborhood of Boyle Heights, on
the east side Of the river, Thurlow
Weed, who had been sentenced to
fifteen days labor for petit larceny
the day before, broke away from
the gang. He was pursued by
Captain Cummings and would have
made good his escape had not q
Mr.. Armstrong, who was riding by,
loaned his horse to Cummings, who
was thus enabled to recapture his
man. While Cummings was in
pursuit of Weed, three other mem
bers of the gang made off, Word
was sent to police headquarters,
and Officer Fonck was dispatched
on horseback in search of those
who escaped during the chase after
Weed. Officers Thorpe and Benites
were also sent on the same errand.
Fonck returned about 4 o'clock,
without having come upon the flu
gitives. Thorpe and Benites were
little more fortunate, they having
found their track, which they fol-
lowed to the willows on this side of
the river, where all further trace
was lost, and they, also, were
obliged to return as they went,
empty handed.
Weed was brought to the city
and locked up, AMI will have thirty
days added to his sentence for his
futile attempt to escape. Up to
late hour last evening nothing had
been heard of the others, but 1T is
supposed that two Of them, Smith
and Harris, who are chain gang
regulars, will be picked up in their
old haunts and remanded to the
chain gang with their terms of SER
vice doubled, the penalty which
the law infllcts for an attempt to
escape. The other is one Of the
hoodlum gang and it is thought he
may clear out and relieve the city
of expense for some time.

The Workingmen's party may be
said to be fairly developed as po-
litical element. 1t is now holding
what is called State Convention
in this city. In pursuance of the
rule usual in such cases it has
adopted platform. The docu-
ment is not put together as COM
pactly as it might have been, nor
is the English in all cases unim-
peachable. But for all that it con-
tains some truths to which the
great majority Of the people assent.
We do not know that there is much
to be said against the preamble.
1t Is true enough that money has
been used too much to influence
legislation; that too many monop-
olies have been created; that too
much land, naturally the heritage
of the people, has been voted away;
that plundering rings are too COM
mon; that Chinese labor is unde-
sirable and that by all these causes
the people have been impover-
ished.
There is little to be said on the
first plank of the platform, which
declares that workingmen should
unite in effecting such reforms as
may be necessary, except for the
general menace against capital I'M
fortunately interscted. There is
little difference between the work.
ingmen and the rest of the COM
munity on the subject of Chinese
labor. But none but lawful means
can be used to mitigate the evil.
The plank in relation to land has
much truth in it. 1t ought to be
reserved for the people. But the
proposition to limit ownership is
visionary. 1t is something that
has never been done and never can
be done. What is to happen the
man who from sickness is unable
to cultivate his section -? Must he
he allowed to die of starvation
when by q sale Of a portion he could
work out of difficult corner or
smooth his last days? The plank
in relation to currency really means
nothing, and may be passed over
without notice, No one can UNI
derstand what sort of currency
that would be which should be
consistent with the agricultural,
manufacturing and mercantile in-
dustrles and requirements of the

plorations, which have developed

prospectors are reticent as to their
location, but enough has leaked
out to set the people ON anxious in
