First Presbyterian Church had TO be filled
with seats yesterday morning 10 accommo-
date the large attendance. The event of the
morning was the offering by Judge Charles

resolutions:
Resoirod, That Il is the deliberate and do
clded judgment of this assembly. that the
Roman Catholic Church Is essentially apos
tatlsed from the religion of our Lord and
Savior, Jesus Christ; therefore. IL cannot be
recognized as Christian church. We do not
recognize Il as portion of the visible
Church OF Christ and we cannot consistently
esteem It's priesthood as other than usurpers
OF the sacred functions Of the ministry, its
ordinances as unscrptural and its baptism
invalid.
The Judge scored Dr. Patio " the New

The elections in England last week for

Churchill in the Woodstock borough He

been made to compass his defeat. AS 1t
was, his majority is doubled, and an occur

President Cleycland's administration has
had four months time in which to develop
The peculiar qualities belonging TO each Of
its members.
The Secretary Of the Navy during the
past two months has gained a good deal of
uotoricty. It Is admitted by all who are
disposed to be fair that Secretary Whitney
Is gentleman Of excellent attainments; he
has had large cXpericnccin the management
of political affairs in New York under the
lead Of Samuel j. Tildon; he enjoys
every advantage Of social position which
wealth and education cangive; he is, more.
over, blessed with n wife possessing great
wealth, and, what Is far better, endowed
with large measure of sound sense, clear
discrimination, and that ready tact which
goes far toward making firm and lasting
friends for her husband.
Under such circumstances and surround
ings Secretary Whitney finds himself before
reaching the prime of life in position to
crafty any reasonable ambition. The Demo
cratic and Mugwump press of New York
city cvincc an eager readiness to do his bid
ding, rs shown in the case Of the Dolphin,
fight which was begun aud carried on solely
for political effect, as the country will
clearly see when all the inside facts are
brought out.
TO push Mr. Whitney to the front, to
promote his political ambition, this con.
troversy was begun and has been carried
on. II will, in due time, be ended by the
Secretary's acceptance of the Dolphin
The recent order In relation to the wives
Of officers on foreign stations was, how
ever, far more sagacious, viewed from
political standpoint 1t has captured the
arstocratic social influence of the West
End-a power which is scarcely second in
potcntiality to any of the influences which
make or break aspiring politicians
The appointment of Mr.. IIedden to the
collcctorship of New York over Mr.. Sim
mons, president of the New York Stock
Exchange, backed by Mr.. Tilden, was the
united effort on the part of Mr.. Whitney,
Mr.. Manning, and Mr. Hubert o. Thomp-
son, who constitute power in the Empire
state greater than that of the administra-
tion itself
1t IS whispered among those who are sup
posed to he deep in the mysteries OF politl-
cal management that Mr.. Secretary Whitney
is to be set apart as the administrations
reserve candidate for the Presidency In 1855
in case President Cleveland should for any
reason decline to run. If Secretary Whit
ney, In the administration Of the Navy De-
partmcnt, should take counsel Of his ambi-
ton, as he may be tempted to do, he will
not be the first man who has used and
| abused power to advance himself.
Aiming so high, and already so powerful,
Mr.. Whitney's every act will be watched
with keen and general interest, and judged
| by standard which, but for the ambition
| Of himself and the scheming of his friends,
would not be applied thereto.

EDITOR NATIONAL REPUBLICAS: The work OF
the general land Office has been for many years
and is still to great extent in arrears, For.
merly 1t was the practice to issue to clerks who
found IL impossible to keep their desks even
fuirly abreast of the current business special
passes from day to day to enter the Office after
regular hours. The arrearuge became so aggra-
vatcd that 1t was found necessary by the com.
missioner to have clerks in charge of divisions
furnish him on the first Of each month lists OF
the names of clerks In their respective divisions
who should be admitted out Of regular hours,
in order to facilitate the public business and
these lists were sent to tho captain OF the
watch, with instructions to admit the persons
named throughout tho month. Then the term
for which these passes should run was made
quarterly instead of monthly, and great
amount of work was accomplished by this sys.
ten. Commissioner Sparks has concluded to
return TO the old system OF special passes, and
IN speaking to n reporter of morning paper
the other day on the subject is reported as nav
ing said
"I'll have no more pale and peaked clerks

what the Senate WIN DO.

Senator Conger's statement, in an inter
view In Detroit, Of the course the Senate
will pursue in dealing with Mr.. Cleveland's
nominations probably approaches nearly the
plan which will be adopted. Mr.. Conger
says that the right of the President to make
appointments to offices where the term OF
the incumbent has expired and to positions
connected with the policy of the admins
tration will not be questioned. But where
removals have been made from purely busi-
ness positions before the expiration of the
stated term, or the limit Of four years which
custom has fixed, the Senate will exercise
its constitutional rights to inquire into such
removals. II II is found that Republican
has been deprived Of his office for "oircn-
sive partisansbip,n and that the same
charge can be brought against the Demo-
crat appointed to his place, the Senate will
then refuse to confirm. This is certainly
