BISHOP BECKERs SERMON
On the Apostolic Succession of the
Roman Catholic Church.

On the Apostolic Succession of the
Roman Catholic Church.
Bishop Becker's sermon on the "Apos-
tolic Succession" at the conservation of
Bishop Curtis, his successor to the see of
Wilmington, last Sunday is being widely
commented upon as one OF the ablest SER
mons of the day.
In it the Bishop said: ''The only church
which has the genealogical pedigree d.
rect, clear and concise is the Church of
Rome. Here, through her some two hum
dred and twenty-fOur Pontitfs, from Leo
XIII. to ST. Peter, if any confidence can
DE placed in the venerable records of his
tory, taken fairly and without prejudice,
we have more perfect succession than
even in this highly favored republic can
be shown among the acknowledged chief
magistrates"
"This, then, is the Catholic Church, ," he
continued, (which at all times was
known by the civil governments, all of
which she has outlived, for she has an
immortal lite. Her works are visible all
over the world. She has with very made
Quate means conquered to the service of
her Master the whole Of Chrstendom.
She teaches with authority affirmative
truths. She proves her absolute unity by
the principle OF authority, ard has not
only the devout allegiance of her mem
bers, who have been invariably the large
number of these calling themselves
Christians, but proves her supreme juris-
diction ny teaching and defining the
exact truth in all matters OF doc
trlnes and morals. She shows that her
genealogy is not afraid of investI-
CATION. She has never had much help
| from empires, kings or repdblics; has
never been known TO sequester their pos
sessions, but has herself been often
desuoiled by the civil power. Her. cathe-
drals are a prayer in stone; her libraries
the collection OF all that is wise and de-
sirable in literature; her mon asteries and
converts the abode OF charity, benevo-
lence and purity; her schools and univer-
sites nave always been types OF wisdom,
while her hospitals, ner asylums, her
clergy and her sisterhOods challenge the
respect and have gained the veneratiOn
OF the world. They are standing on the
unanswerable arguments of the fulfill
ment of Christs command to his apostles /:
go ye into the whole world, teach and
baptize, teaching them 10 observe all
things whatsoever | have commanded
you.'"
Bishop Becker delivered the address to
the new bishop at the close Of the sermon.

Base Ball PIckups.

Washington aspires to fifth or sixth
place in 1887.
Ed Hengle has applied for an umpire
ship in the National League.
The Syracuse management has captured
the pick OF the old Nashville team.
Not one of the seven new players signed
by Cincinnati is over % years of age.
A good many people are asking what
Savannah is going TO do next season.
Only six weeks remain before the league
forfeit OF 81, 900 will have TO be putup.
Pittsburg will make the greatest fight
for the pennant next year that it has ever
made.
Monk Cline, the great Atlanta player,
is still unsigned, and there is no particu-
lar scramble for him.
The Washington management thinks
very highly of Hank O'Day, and predicts
that he will be one of the leading twirlers
of the league next season.
The formation ola Southwestern League
is being discussed with clubs in Little
Rock, Pine Bluff, Hot Springs, Fort
smith, VIcksDurg, Dallas and Fort
Worth.
Sneed has been on a still hunt for play
ers for his Memphis team, but has accom-
plished very little in the way OF securing
Teliablemen as yet. Secretary Kerr thinks
the team. however, Will be an average
one, with a decided weakness in the way
of pitchers.
The Memphis Ledger men sees enc
small ray OF nope in the base ball outlook
for next season, at least. Thusly: There
is an abundant harvest OF umpires, and
| President Morrow has secured a very
able staff. 1t looks as il last seasons sit
uation is to be reversed. There was lit
| tie to complain of in the way of strong
clubs, but the umpires were eXecrab!e.
| Now it IS the other way, and it remains
to be seen which of the evils the public
will accept with the ablest grace"
The annual meeting of the National
League will be held at the Palmer House
in Chicago to-day. The meeting will be
largely attended, and promises to be one
| of the liveliest held since the formation OF
! the organization. The personal con-
tract' scheme, which has been attracting
so much attention in the base ball world
recently, will be gwen a sound shaking up,
and it is not improbable that a stringent
rule will be adopted prohibiting such
questionable proceedings in the future.

THE PILorAGE QUESTION.
Northern Ship Owners Visiting
Southern Ports.

Southern Ports.
President Charles Lawrence, of the Ma
tioHal Association OF Vessel Owners and
Captains, and Capt. Herbert A. Dean, of
Taunton, Mass, are making a trip
through the South, visiting the principal
ssapOrts, for the purpose of comforting
with vessel owners and others interested
in maritime affairs with a view to
soliciting their cooperation in having
passed through Congress a bill placing
sailing vessels on an equal footing with
ocean steamers in regard to pilotage, and
securing a repeal Of the compulsory pilot
age law. 1t is the object of the associa-
tiOn to have bill passed providing that
Captains or officers holding pilots licenses
be allowed to proceed on their trips with
out taking a pilot or paying pilOtage. The
officers, whether holding or not holding
pilots licenses, are now compelled to take
a pilot, or, in case Of refusal, to pay half
pilOtage.
Mr.. Lawrence is in the city, and was
seen at the Screyen House yesterday.
There is a growing sentiment, he SAID,
wherever he has been against compui-
sorry pilotage, and he believes that it will
ultimately be abolished. He had not read
the bill introduced in the Georgia Legs
lature last week in regard to pilotage at
this and other Georgia ports, but from
what he had understood ne believed it to
be step in the right direction.
Mr.. Lawrence and Capt. Dean started
from Philadelphia last week and have
visited Norfolk, Wilmington and Charles
ton. They will go from here to Florida
and will visit Mobile and New Orleans.
Sir. Lawrence was a delegate from Phila-
delphia to the Harbor Improvement Con-
Vention. which WAS held here a wear ago
He is President of the Philadelphia Sc
lect Council, and is also President of the
Philadelphia Ship Owners and Captains
Association. The National Associa alton
which he represents controls between
$lS,O00.00O and $20,000,000 in shipping,
and represents 80 per cent. OF the regis
tered American sail tonnage.

AFTER THE MooNsHINEEs.
Judge Speer's Charge to the United
States Grand Jury.

The grand jury of the United States
Courts was impaneled yesterday MORN
ing. Judge Speer in his charge sketched
the duties OF the body, and touched upon
the theory and purpose Of its organization
with al allusi0n to it's antiquity and
power. On tho subject of violations of the
internal revenue laws His Honor said
"Anilliclt distillery not only cheats the
government and the honest tax payers,
but il produces brawls and bloodshed, the
disturbance of divine service, lewdness
and lechery, riots and ARRAYS, and all the
crimes of the calendar. The Illicit traffic
in spirits DISCREPANCIES labor; it makes
the working classes shiftless, lazy, i'll
tempered, quarrelsOme, nervous. 1t
gives them a disregard of their country
and their duties to their families and TO
society. 1t affects all classes. IL |
were asked for one cause that would
more than another tend to establish
the reign of misrule, crime and misery ia
community, l would say the successful
maintenance of the Illicit manufacture
and sale OF ardent spirits, backed by toe
support OF those who live near 1t. This Is
but one instance of many that might be
cited OF the damaging effects upon loca
communities Of the violation OF Federal
laws. No good citizen can safely ac-
QuIbbC6 IN IDS NlOiAtlOl Vi any raw 4 Ne
enforcement of the law is the cOnserVa-
ti0n OF society. 1t preserves all that men
hold dear. These truths are so plain and
so often heard that they may make but
little impression on the theughtless, but
they deserve and should receive your
most conscientious consideration"
TWO MooNsHINERS CONVICTED.
Robert Elliott and Charles Dewberry,
both OF Richmond county, plead guilty
in court 10 Illicit distilling. The
parties live about twelve miles
from Augusta, and Elliott runs a
grIst mill. Dewberry rents a house from
Elliott. The still was set up in Dew
berry's house and Elliott was to furnish
the corn and meal. When The latter first
proposed going into the business he said
il was partly because be could not get
anything for his corn. The two said that
they had not been doing business more
tEan two weeks when captured, Judge
Speer sentenced Elliott to four months
and Dewberry to three months IN the
Richmond county jail, and both were
hned $500 and costs,
Mr.. Francis X. Douglas was fined $40
for contempt of court in not appearing
after having been summoned as a juror.
In the case of the Michigan Carbon
Works VS. j. &. and j. X. West, bill and
cross bill, an order was granted to per-
feet pleadings and refer to master.
