The French Republic and the Catholic
Church.

In q speech last winter, NJ. GAMBErTA an
nounced that France henceforward must
be a rule unto herself, and that she would
no longer look for guidance TO doubtful
precedents and unsound analogies. This
was an orphic utterance by which the ex.
Dictator very likely meant to counsel
cautious study Of the national conditions.
but which others might interpret to justify
headlong application OF the most extrava-
giant ideas. We know that some such Ian
guage was heard from the Convention In 49,
and that one result was the savage onslaught
upon religion, which, more than any other
cause, alienated the mass OF Frenchmen
from the Jacobin leaders.
Through the bill introduced by NJ. FERRY
in the Chamber Of Deputies, the republic is
brought once more into collision with the
Catholic Church. This measure has been
condemned by n high radical authority as
too sweeping and intolerant and it is GER
tain to provoke n long and acrimonious CON
test. Purporting to remodel the educa-
tional system 1t aims two blows Mt the
clerical party, one OF which Is undoubt-
eddy much more doiensible than the other
1t proposes, in the first place, to take from
Catholic semJnares the right Of comforting
degrees, which was substantially secured
TO them by law OF 1875. 1t is not alleged
that in scope or quality the scholastic
instruction furnished by these academies
was in any wise inferior TO that supplied
by the state; and thus the Government,
by their dsfranchisement, would practically
refuse TO sanction the religious tenets in
which their pupils have been trained.
Such discrimination would have the most
serious consequences in France, where
diploma is the Indispensable passport not
only to the bench aud bar but t. all the
liberal professions. Tho Republicans aver,
however, that the future bias of the Judi
ciary. for example, is matter OF great
moment, and that they cannot afford to
open such important channels of influence
to those who have usually in the past
been found on the side OF the reac-
tionists. AS regards, too, the question
OF expcdiency, they have an obvious re-
joinder. When they deny TO Catholic lnsti-
buttons the privilege Of bestowlng degrees,

We observe with interest that a Madison
avenue preacher has prepared n discourse for
this morning on THE Borrowed Colt" This
will remind some persons OF the Rev. CREAM
CHEEsEs sermon on The Maidcnhood OF LoT's
WIFE," which 40 affected Mrs. PoTIPHAR. Still
this Murray Hill preacher may draw from his
queer tonic the marrow OF sound doctrine.
A Spring street preacher invites strangers In
tho city to drop in ut his church this evening
and hear about ANTIoCHUs ErIPHANEs. POSI-
bly, somo OF them may accept the invitation bat
wo havo our doubts. ANTIoCHUs EPIPHANEs
was an important man in his day, but he has
boen dead good while. and his difficulty with
tho Jews is now matter Of historical rather
than Of contomporaneous human interest. At
present tho average church coer. resident or
transient. IL considerably more curious about
CHAsT1EE Cox than about AHTIocHUs EPIPH-
AEEs.
1t was doubtless recognition of this fact that
led Washington square preacher to announce
as the subject Of his evening DISCOURSE " Les
sons from tho Recent Great Tragedy" We pre-
dict that this preacher will have tho largest con-
RreRntion OF the three; We wish we were rs sure
that his study OF tho tragedy hns been so
thorough nndi philosophical ms to qualify him
Tor tho task OF cxpounding Its lessons. Some OF
these lilo on the surface In plain sight OF every
body. and these tho congregation will have al
ready drawn for themselves without any help
from the pulpit. There are others that do not
lie on the surface. and the man who seeks to
bring them to the light will find himself en-
tangled In probloms that 90 to the very roots OF
modern society and modern Christianity
We suppose the Washington square preacher
has his sermon written out 10y this time: but IL
is not too late to call his attention to point that
he may have overlooked. and that ought not to
DO overlooked Cox says that no is n member
OF IN orthodox Protestant church. lie was
brought up rcligiously by pious mother He
has always been church Roor. He was listen
ing TO a sermon when the law laid it's hand on
him. Oddly enough. the subject OF the sermon
to which he was listening was the dreadful md
eternal torments reserved in the next world for
murderers and other sinners. He was asked
by reporter for THE SUN whether this sermon
made an impression on him; whether It in
ducod him to confess his guilt NO" an

this reply. he may discover under II one lesson
OF the tragedy thnt he did not think Of while he
was writing his sermon-a lesson, too that con-

The Cutlery Against Circumstantial
Evidence.

All at once great cutlery has arisen
against clrcumstantial evidence II ia not
safe, we are told, TO convict person. in any
case, on circumstantial evidence. Dr. HULL,
II is stated, has narrowly escaped hanging
on purely clrcumstantial evidence.
This lie jumping at an unwarranted con-
elusion. DIR. HULL has not narrowly es-
capped hanging on purely crcumstantial
evidence. It is truo that some circum-
stances, such rs his being up in the night
about the time the murder was believed to
have been committed; the coincidence be-
tween his tying his bed clothes and the
tying OF his wife's limbs TO the two sides Of
the bed, were calculated TO throw q shade Of
suspicion over the unfortunate husband but
30 far from being sufficient 10 convict him,
there was never enough OF all these to even
justify or excuse his arrest. He did not
stand In danger from them for single
moment.
1t now appears, however, that DIR. HULL
may have been In some slight degree OF
danger from oral testimony. A witness had
volunteered the statement that a person
calling himself HULL had proposed to this
witness TO commit murder
Circumstantial evidence should be re-
oeived with caution. SO should every other
kind Of evidence. 1t should be carefully
weighed; 30 should every other kind OF evil
dence. Then, no matter how suspicious the
circumstances, II they may all exist con-
sistently with the innocence OF the accused,
the verdict should be Of acquittal. 1t ap-
poared to us, from the reports Of tho trial at
the time 1t took place, that st was owing to
the omission on the part OF the counsel for
the accused and OF the Court to lay down
this well-settled rule that verdict Of
guilty was rendered against BENNETT and
Mrs. SMITH. There were very strong cir
cumstances against them, but we cannot
recall one which might not have existed
consistently with their innocence. There
fore, however the probabilities might stand,
we do not think a conviction was justifable
in their case; and even II they were to con-
fess now, that would not change the injus-
tce OF their conviction; for the rule we have
referred to Is the only safe rule, and should
always be observed.

The Clerical Exodus.

The clerical exodus is at hand. A large
number OF our distinguished clcrgymcn
preach the last sermon Of the season to-day,
and enter upon vacation that will continue
till the first Sunday OF September. In tho
mean time they HE 10 the seaside, the
watering places OF the interior, the farm
houses on the mountain sides, or the rural
villages where their country cousins dwell.
Alarge proportion of the big Protestant
churches will be closed for two months.
This is especially true OF the Presbyterans
and Congre2ationalists, though some OF
their large houses OF worship will be kept
open, tho pulpits being supplied by picked
up ministers. The locking OF church doors
during the summer solstice Is not
quite as prevalent among the Bap-
lists and Methodsts. Indeed, pretty
nearly all their most conspicuous edifices
will be open during the summer. The
preaching, however, will very likely be OF
an inferior quality.
Nearly the same may be said Of the Epis-
copal and Dutch Reformed churches.
Trinity, Of the former. and the Collegiate
Association, OF the latter, never shut their
doors. We believe this is the case also with
the Catholic churches, whether great or
small. They are open through the summer,
but the eminent clergy Of this communion
copy the example OF their Protestant broth
rem, and seek the fresh air OF the country
when the city thermometer points to the
ninetlcs.
Industrious clergymcn need n rest. az
well as the toilers in other professions. The
regular city church goers may lose by the
absence Of their favoritc preachers. But
the rural districts are edited when the cele-
brated dvines from the metropolis embrace
the occasion Of their temporary soiourn
among them to roll OF some OF their grand
est sermons Thus the account is balanced,
after a fashion, and the religious world
moves on.

ably not. The police, thoroughly convinced
