Firing the Northern Heart.

The better class of Republican papers
do not view with complacency the
Southern outrage hunt proposed by
Senators Sherman and Hoar, and which
is likely TO lead to bitter and pas
sionate debate in the Senate. The New
York Times, of Sunday, has this to
say:
The people throughout the country
are utterly sick of the sectional issue,
and nothing Is so calculated to excite
their disgust and aversion Rs the ex.
humation Of the "bloody shirt and
reiteration Of the cry Of Southern out.
RACES. There is no repression
that the National Government can
exercise upon il with beneficial result.
There is nothing that political party
i'm the North can do about it with
benefit. Crime in Virginia and MissIs.
sippi can no more be dealt with by Con.
gress than crime on Long Island or in
New Jersey. II il the worst
kind of faulty for Republicans in Con
gress to spend their time in discussing
Southern outrages and attempting TO
renew sectional aniagonism. Ii will win
no Democrats and 1t will repel thou
sands Of Independent and sensible
Republicans.
The best answer that can be mad to
Sherman and Hoar, aud all the 'out.

Of the first water. But II is of piece
with Rev. Fishers whole conduct in
this controversy.
No attempt has been made to meet
my argument showing that Luther, a.
also the other Reformers. did not
"clearly apprehend" the difference be.
tween faith Sin man OF person, and
faith in doctrine" or between "sav.
ing faith" and "doctrinal faith" 40 |
need say nothing more on that subject.
But in conclusion | must tell Rev.
Fisher that ! own and claim the follow
ing:
!. That Luther lacked the cool, clear,
intellectual head of Zwingli, even as
Zwingli lacked the richly emotional,
poetic, mystic nature of Luther.
2. That Luther was wrong in refus.
ing the hand of Zwingli.
3. That Lnther denied the inspired.
canonical authority of the epistle of st.
James.
4. That Zwingli was more liberal than
Luther.
5. That Zwingli believed in the sal
vation of the nobler heathen, and that
IN this respect, Protestantism, "has vi.
brated nearer to Zwingli."
6. That Rev. Fishers charge, contain
ed in the Centre Reporter, that Zwingli
taught that Hercules, Socrates, etc,
"dief in he same faith with Abrahsua,
ETC., can not be proved and involves
consequences which Zwingli would have
repudiated and abhorred.

ing the removal Of one Of the official
stenographers oftho house by ex-Speaker
Keifer met 10 night, and after reviewing

the meeting, however, the chairman of
the subcommittee was informed that
some further testimony would be

consequently withhold q report for the
present. The members Of the sub.com.

understood, however that the sub.com

Keifer that he removed stenographer
Tyson in order to give the latter's place
to his nephew is true, and that it also
finds that Keifer's nephew performed
no service whatever in return for the
salary paid him since his appoint
