COLERAIN.

The general topic for discussion last
Sabbath morning was the frost, which
was scarcely equaled by the frost of June
9TH, 1859. Ice formed from one-fOurth to
one-half inch in many places in this
township. Vegetation was seriously
damaged The fruit crop will be total
failure. The cherries were well formed,
and they were frozen solid; not leaf or
blossom was left on the grape vines;
some of the strawberries were protected
and will probably fruit. The average
fruit crop that was so promising was
nipped in the bud. The forest trees were
badly damaged, and the nut crop was de-
stroyed. The wheat looks all right, but
fears are entertained that when it shoots
the heads will be blighted.
The dry weather has seriously inter
fered with the work of the huSbandman.
The average corn crop is still on the cob;
what has been planted will be to replant
to large extent. Unless we are soon
favored by rain the outlook for the
granger will be very discouraging.
The dry season has been very favora-
BILE for the bees; they are making a good
quality of surplus honey. The failure
of the locust bloom will affect their man,

THE TTATA.

Chilli is engaged in civil war between
her Congress and President. The ltata
is a vessel belonging to the party OF the
Congress, that is to say to the party IN
rebellion. This vessel comes into port
of this country and obtains military
supplies. Our permitting this to be
done is a clear breach of international
law. and our arresting her and placing
ON board a United States officer is clear
ly in accord with the law on the subject.
When the vessel escapes from arrest and
starts south with the supplies still on
board, the nice question of our right or
duty to pursue her, and take away those
supplies, arises. Our government has
taken the ground that we have such a
duty. and has sent armed ships in pur-
suit. 1t requires liberal construction
of the statute to allow such action, but
it accords with the spirit of the law
and with precedent. Moreover, it is in
harmony with patriotism. The British
government fomented the present Chilli
an rebellion in order to control the valu-
able nitrate deposits of that country. II
is our place to see that England obtains
no undue advantage over us in this par
ticular, and if by broad reading of in
ternational law, we can stop the ltatf
and remove the supplies procured il
this country, we should do it even at the
risk of a naval fight.

TIE RAREL OF IDEAS.

The grand aggregation of curios,
under the name of the National Union
is on exhibition at Cincin-
natl this week. Farmers Alliance
people, Citizens Alliance enthusiasts,
Industrial Alliance votaries, Knights of
Labor, Bellamyites, Single Tax men,
Ignatius Donnelly, the Shakspearean
Cypherite, and Jerry Simpson, are
blended in one writhing mass, harmo-
nious only in the opinion that they are
going to do something, but what that
something will be each man has his own
individual preferences to infict Oh the
Convention. However, the general idea
seems to be to form third party in
which every person who has any par
ticular hobby to air, can find place and
receive a hearing. About 1000 dele
gates are present, of whom 600 are from
Kansas. They will discuss the National
banking system, the tariff, farm mort
cages, whether Bacon wrote Shakespeare
plays, Henry Georges single tax scheme
"Looking Backward" coinage, transpor
tation, and whether it is advisable t(
wear socks, and out of the discussion
they expect to arrive at platform OF
which all can stand.
If out of this conglomerate mass
party can be formed which will holt
together six months, Solomon will prob
ably rise to declare that there is some
thing new under the sun. The onl.
sect, faction, creed, theory or hobb.
not represented, is political prohibition
There promises to be no unanimity a
all except in general and indiscriminat
kicking. The Southern delegates fron
the Farmers Alliance are bitterly op
posed to independent political action
declaring that they will not leave tn
Democratic party just yet, while man,
of the Northern and Northeastern dele
gates from various orders, as vehement
assert that they do not intend to
apart without the South goes along
Such being the case it seems alon
possible that the Convention will resul
only in wind.

$500 per mile; rolling stock, S2,5O0:
sidings $1,000; buildings, shops and fixed
machinery, 100000. There is a small
reduction in the valuation as compared
with last year. An item in the Colum-
bus railroad news of few days ago said:
''The Baltimore and Ohio directors have
decided to expend nearly 100000 this
year in purchasing new locomotives, box
and fiat cars and passenger coaches. The
company has already placed orders fol
40 new locomotives and 1900 box and
1,500 fiat cars"

relations with Secretary Blaine. Had
both these editorial gentlemen three

many ill-advised utterances would have

THE Pennsylvania Legislature is
about to sit down heavily on an alleged
b,llot reform measure which was mas
querading under the title of Australian
ballot bill. The legislators of the Key
stone State are more sensible than those
of our own State, and do not propose to
saddle on the whole people a measure
entailing great expense and insuring nc
commensurate gain in honest conduct
of elections, save in perhaps half-dozen
cities. Under the guise of "ballot re-
FORM" the people in many cases are put
to an enormous and needless expense.

DR. BRIGGS, HERESY.


The investigation of the religious
views of DIR. Charles A. Briggs, OF Union
Seminary, New York city, and his ar
raignment for heresy has become mat
ter of great public interest and import
ance as indicative of progress in the
construction of creeds, the loosening OF
timeworn tenets, and the dissolution
of cast iron beliefs. The more interest
attaches to the event from the fact that
DIR. Briggs occupies a position in the
foremost Presbyterian seminary in this
country. He has long been recognized
as one of the ablest and most scholarly
men in the Church, and in his position
is backed by others in the front rank.
To condemn his interpretations of God
and the scriptures is to expel one OF the
leading thinkers of the day. To en-
dorse his views must necessarily break
the Church from her old moorings. This
is the position in which the matter
stands.
The charges against him are embraced
under three heads inspiration of the
scriptures, reason, and the intermediate
state. His heresy is based on utterances
in his installation address recently
delivered, a part of which explains
the first two counts: "There are
three great fountains of divine au
thority-l. The Bible. 2. The church
8. The reason-and the three mus
be in harmony. To make them har
monize the distractions effected b!
misguided men must be removed. NJ
one is SO obstructed as the Bible. 1t
obstructions are superstitious reverence
of the book; belief in the inspiration O.
each word; mistake as to its authentici
ty; belief in its inerrancy; acceptance o
its miracles; the failure in fulfillment o.
its minute predictions.
"Not until the human reason remove
these obstacles can the Bible and th'
church exert their full power. Remoy'
every incumbrance out of the way TO
new life"
That these views do not accord witt
the Westminster Confession of Faitl
there is no room for doubt. On tn
third point-an intermediate state-h
is widely at variance with his church
and approaches closely to the idea o
the second probationists. "The essen
tial thing is to find divine certainty,
DIR. Briggs asserts, "and if rational
lists have found God without the churc
and Bible, then these are means an
not ends" The great mass of the Pres
byterian church does not hold to tn
letter of the creed, and a deviatio
seems to have been allowable, but tn
bounds of detection DR.. Briggs appear
to have transgressed. The case comm
at this time will probably have decide
effect on the result of the effort at reVls
ion which is now in progress. That tn
hest thinkers in the church are modif.
ing the rigid beliefs of the old theolog
ans, is certainly true, and the day whe
the necessity of liberal revision will
seen seems near at hand. All church'
are approaching the simple creed-b'
lief in Christ as the Savior, the Fathe
hood of God and the Brotherhood
