THE VALIDITY OF ROMAN CATHOLIC GAP-
| TISM.
CINCINNATI, May 25th.-At 5 p. NJ. Judge
brakes resolution against the validity OF
Roman Catholic baptism was taken up.
He yielded the floor, asking that some OPP
ponent open the debate, and that he be
allowed to close. DR.. W. c. Alexander, a
Professor in the theological seminary at
San Francisco, spoke in opposition to the
resolution. He said it was useless as il
would not be deliyerance but simply an
! expression of opinion of those voting 1t
was mischievous, since by passing it we
make ourselves the laughing stock of the
world. 1t is more papal than all the Popes
| combined. 1t involves a misinterpretation
of standards, according to which the visi-
bic church is composed of all those who
profess the true religion. This resolution
denies the validity Of baptism administered
to millions of people who have
come into the Protestant Church from
the Roman Catholic Church. and never
received any other baptism. DR.. II. T..
| Nevcns followed at some length. showing
of what cOrruptiOns the Roman Catholic
| Church consisted DR.. Schoile offered a
substitute to the resolution, to the effect
! that the Roman Catholic Church, though
| corrupt and teaching many unscriptural
errors, yet retaining the Holy Scriptures
and ancient crecds, with all the funda-
mental truths of Christianity, is still a
| branch Of the visible Church of Christ, and
therefore the sacrament OF baptism admin
istered by that Church, with the right to
baptize, is a true and valid baptism, which
| cannot and ought not to be repeated. DR..
| Schotte spoke in favor of the substitute, by
showing from the history of the Church
that baptism administered in the name OF
the Trinity, with proper intention, regard
less of the character of the one administer
ing ii, had always been considered valid.
| Further debate was postponed until to-
| morrow afternoon.

CHICAGO, May 25th.-S Corning Judd,
the recently-appointed Postmaster OF Chi
cago. probably owes his appointment to
the fact that he is the Democratic National
Committeeman for Illinois. Very few poo

At the last National Convention, when the
matter of selecting Mr.. Goudy's successor
came up, all the Chicago votes under the
| lead Of Mayor Harrison were for Winston.
| Most of the countrymen under Mr.. GOudv 5
leadership were for Mr.. Judd. When the
votes were counted it was found that the
new Postmaster had been elected by ma

Mr. Judd. afterward to learn that in the
delegation he got just one Chicago vote
Mackin threw his ballot for him, They
had neven been friendly and had never
trained together. But Mackin was at war
with Harrison over the gamblers just then,
and was willing to do anything to defeat
his plans.

fest surprise of a large number of the con-
gregation of the First Presbyterian Church

prominent seats as they did last Sunday.
