Slandering The Dead.

The last number of the Southeastern |
Presbyterian of this city has very slander-
GUS article concerning the Holy Pontif Plus
IN, late head of Christ's Church. 1t states
that he accumulated a large fortune out
of the aims solicited from his co-religion-
ists throughout the world. The amount
is said to be about twenty four millions of
dollars"
We ask for proofs of the facts 30 boldly
asserted. How does the Presbyterian
know that the Pope accumulated anythingf
Does it know 1t at all Does it know that
his accumulations amounted to twenty
four millions or to one miilionP or even
! to one dollari Does it know whether the
treasury under the Pope's control belonged
to himself personally, or to the government
of which he was heads When the Pres =.
bYterjam tells US all this, then we should
like to be informed, as to the public Papal
funds, whether they were larger at the
time of his death than they had been at any
previous period of his reign. If his
treasury was no larger than when he re-
ceived it on hs accession to the throne
then there had been no accumula.
ton. As regards the private fortune
, of the late Pope, we should like to be in
formed whether any portion of it was de
rived from "alms," or whether all of it wa
. patrmonial. Let us know, too, just how
much the individual property of Plus II
really amounted to.
1t is but reasonable that we should lool
for information on these points to a pape
p which 80 boldly announces facts like thos
II that we find in it's columns. Surely W
n cannot be misguided on this subject.
k. cannot be that our pious neighbor woul
IN publish as facts what it does not know to b
a such would, in other words, be guilty {
c. grievous slander against the dead.

InEallibllity Again.

/ The Southeastern Pyesbytcridn of this city
ia, perhaps, responsible for the inconceiv
able amount of infallibility stupidity which
is going around among it's exchanges Ike
An epidemic. Here comes now the South :
| ern Baptist (Meridian) with the following
sage enquiry as the conclusion OF an
article of which it ia a fair sample:
How can the Church reconcile the praying
for the Pope and for his SOULS repose with
| the doctrine of Infatiibiity
Now the Presbyterian several months
ago got off some similar stuff, which We
presume has been circulating around
among the rural brethren ever since. We
would not deigu to discuss such point
seriously with the Presbyterian, because We
know that it has, or can easily have, access
to a dictionary. At Meridian the case ie
different. We do not for moment mean
to intimate that there are no dictionaries in
that city, but simply that they are not 30
plentifol az here. In New Orleans, Bap-
tist preacher could get hold of Webster or
Worcester on the sly /; in Meridian the fact
would probably leak out and the Baptist
Church would suffer in it's reputation for
consistency. "Book larDiD" is said TO be
in great disrepute among the rural Baptists.
Such being the case we may seriously
advise our dissenting brethren Of Meridian
that Infaiibility has nothing to do with
the liability to sin. God reserves to him
self the right of speaking to his creatures
through human mediums, without inter
fering with the free will of the individ
uals used as mediums. Take fer instance
Moses, who was punished for his sins in
not being permitted to enter the promised
land; or Jonah, who for his, was swallowed
by the whale or Solomon who fell into
idolatry or David, who was guilty of muir
der and adultery or Peter, who denied his
Master. These men-prophets and Apos-
tles-were vessels Of inspiration. They were
in their inspired capacity infallible,-a fact
! which neither Presbyterian nor Baptist will
care to deny publicly, however much he may
doubt it privately. Yet these men all
sinned. Why then should the Pope not
| sin also, even though infallible ?
Now we do not, candidly speaking,
expect An answer TO that question. We
are afraid that neither the New Orleans
| Presbyterian nor tho Meridian BGptist cares
about coming to fair understanding OF
the matter. 1t appears to suit their pur-
poses better to indulge in misrepresenta-
ton. We are sorry to have to say 30, but
it is actually impossible for an intelligent
man to make such mistake honestly.
Webster's dictionary gives the following
meanings for the word ''infallible"-not
fallible not capable of erring; entirely
exempt from liability to mistake; unerr-
ling; iperrable; not liable to fail, or to
deceive confidence sure not to disappoint
or fail certain. The substance of oil thit
is exemption from error or mistake, not
from sin. The former is defect of judg'
ment, the latter fault of the will.
In the face Of ali this, we men will
the effrontery to put in print such question:
as the one above quoted, and seriously asl
if God can speak infallibly through the
mouth of a sinner.

Brutal Attack On two women-0ne of the
Party Shot.

PITTSBURGH, April l6--A tragic event
occurred about one O'Clock last night at
the head of Twenty-eighth street, To-
cality which has become famous in con-
nection with the July riots in this city.
Mrs. Holmes, wife of policeman, and
Mrs. Dougherty, sister, started from
their homes ca the hillside above Twen-
ty-eighth street to go to the house of
their mother, some four or five blocks
distant, Mrs. Holmes having left her
two children there. On their way down
they were attacked by two men.
Mrs. Dougherty succeeded in escaping,
and reaching the foot of the hill fortu-
nately encountered officer Holmes, who
had just been relieved from duty. She
informed hi&R of the attack made on his
wife, and he hurried to her assistance.
When he reached the spot he discovered
his wife lying on the ground; one man
was holding her down while the other
had her by the throat, thus preventing
any outcry. On the approach of the
husband the villains fled, but a well-di-
rected shot brought one of them to the
ground.
The name of the injured man is George
Wilcox, a married man, with three or
four children. He was carried into the
West Penn hospital, and it is thought
he cannot recover.
Holmes surrendered himself into the
custody of the authorities. He feels
certain he was justified in the course he
pursued. His wife was severely injured
in the struggle but was able to be about
today.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
wAsnInoroN, D. @, April II, ISIS.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., April II, 1878.
When Chesterfield said that women were
only children of larger growth, with an in
teresting tattle, and sometimes wit, but that
he had never known one to possess solid
reason and good sense, or to act conse-
quentially for four and twenty hours
together-it is quite evident that he had
never come In contact with the Washing
ton species, maid wife, or widow. Had he
met Washington adventures, and if he
had gone into good society he would GER
tainly have found her, he would have met
his equal, and more too. If he had began
to flatter her, as he advised his son to do,
on any subject, from her understanding
down to the exquisite taste ofher fan, under
the impression that she would gratefully
accept the smallest compliment, and greedi-
ly swallow the grossest-what would have
become of that quality of the devil and the
graces, Lord Chesterfield? He would have
been "taken ip," destroyed. He might
practice his graces, his flattery, his diabol-
lea! je ne seal quot, upon U. s. Senator,
on Ben. Butler, or Sam. Cox but with all
his knowledge of the beau monde, as 1t
was, Becky Sharpe might teach him
thing or two that would cause him to
admire. The century and a quarter that
has elapsed, since Chesterfield wrote, has
not left women becalmed in the wake of
its mighty evolutions and revolutions. The
queen of the Cannibal islands is more
tastefully tattooed than was her grand
mother, and the belle of this habitat has
more in her head, if not in her hear than
had her progenitress of the day of Chester
field. The Washington society woman
has one grand absorbing passion - an en-
thusiastic devotion to herself that has made
her stoical on every other subject she
may have her smiles and her tears, heI
joys and her sorrows, but they are not fol
others. She adores dress, kneels at the
shrine of Mammou, burns incense to dear
mealy- society, fawns upon the
powerful and elevates her exquisite nose al
the knock-kneed, pot bellied, and weak
She is an audacious, preserving pioneering
little body her motto is excelsior, and hel
Alps is the social ladder. Sooner or later
probably later, she will get married to &
sentimental youth, with we'll balanced hair
and money or, to what she would prefer
money, with only septaugenarian encum
brance. Money, subsidiary to self, is thu
supreme object of her life, and she will Sc
cure it, through marriage if she can, but
at any rate, she will secure it. Since tn,
days of Babylon there have been othe
careers for women at capitals than mat

Terrible Explosion.

TITUsyILLE, Pa, April 1s.--A few
minutes before nine o'clock this morn
ing an explosion occurred that shook the
city, and in very few seconds a dense
cloud of smoke that was seen rising
from that direction gave evidence that a
glycerine explosion had occurred just
South of the city about two miles.
Upon repairing to the scene of the ex-
plosion it was ascertained that the COM
pound in an old filling house Of Roberts
& Co., had exploded. Not a westige of
the building remained, and pieces of
torpedoes were found hundreds of feet
away from the scene of the explosion.
The loss cannot be ascertained at pres
ent, but it is not heavy. The compound
that caused the explosion was dynamite.
In the city, distance of two miles
from the explosion, large plate glass
windows were shattered, and the large
business blocks shaken to their founda-
tions. No one was injured. The ex-
plosion was caused by the wood fires
catching the magazine.

Effect of Payment on the Limitation Act.

Along opinion wss filed by Chief
Justice Agnew in the Supreme Court
the other day, in the salt of Maria f.
Clark against HI. b. Baker, ct. al, ad-
ministrators of E. w. Hinkson. Grace
and Clark gave their5oint note to Hick-
son, who indorsed payments of interest
and principal on it within six years
from its date. He did not specify by
whom the payments were made and
there was no evidenee&o show it. Upon
these facts the question arose whether
these payments barred the running of
the statute of limitation as to Clark.
The Court decides that such memoranda
of payment will not bar the statute in
the absence of any evidence as to who
made the payments. The judgment of
the lower court is reversed and a venire
facias de novo awarded. Judges Shars-
wood, Mercur and Paxsen dissent.

makes the following confession:
Mr.. Ira b. Wheeler-My Dear Sir: A
few weeks since, after long months of
mental anguish, L told, as you know, a
few friends whom had bitterly deceived
that the charge brought by any husband
of adultery between myself and Rev.
Henry Ward Beecher was true, and that
the lie / have lived so well the last four
years had become intolerable to me-
That statement now solemnly reaffirm
and leave the truth with God, to whom
L also commit myself, my children and
all who must suffer. / know full well
the explanations that will be sought by
many for this acknowledgment of de-
sire to return to my husband-insanity
malice, everything save the true and
only one, my quickened conscience and
the sense of what is due to the cause of
truth and justice. During all the COM
plications of these years you have been
my confidential friend, and therefore 1
address this letter to you, authorizing
and requesting you to secure its publica-
tion.

An Old Case Decided.

CINCINNATI, April II. - An old case
growing out of the slave times was de-
cided in the United States Court to-day.
Henrietta Wood (colored) who was born
slave in Boone county, Kentucky,
but was finally given her freedom, was
afterwards kidnapped and taken to Gov
ington, where she was delivered to three
men Zeb Ward, Frank Russ and Will
loughby Scott, and after some time she
was sold to planter in Mississippi. She
was finally liberated after the war, hav-
ing served her master for nearly twenty
years. Upon her return to this city she
brought suit against Ward, claiming
$4,000 damages. To-day she obtained a
verdict of 50 500.

would suit Mrs. Suitz but to have the
marriage occur before she closed her eyes

New County of Lackawanna.

The bill creating the new county of
Lackawanna, was signed by Governor
Hatranft last week. The new county of
Lackawanna will contain a population
of nearly 100000 people. The popula-
ton of the remaining portion of the old
county of LRerne, from which Lacka-
wanna was formed stands at about the
same figure. In 1870 the population of
the old county was I6l 900. Scranton,
which is to be the county seat of the pro-
posed new county, has population of
nearly $4,000. Lackawanna will be the
sixty-seventh county in the State, in the
order of organization.
