Cleveland Opposes Murphy.

NEW YORK, Dec. 2S.-That Mir Cleve land is opposed to the election of Edward Murphy to the United States senate to sue ceed Mr. Hiscock has been authoritatively settled by direct statement from the pres ident-elec who said in response to an in quiry:
 1.-The interests of the state and the party demand, it seems to me, the selection of 8 senator who can not only defend the prin. ciples of our party, but who can originate and promote policies that may be pre- sented for consideration in the senate. In order to insure this, the senator from New York should be man not only experienced in public affairs, but who has 8 clear con- ception of the vital issues with which he must deal during the next four years.
 Speaking frankly, 1t does not seem to me that the selection of MT. Murphy shows desire or intention of placing in the sen- ate man of such type. This first use of our power would, fear, cause much dis appointment, not only in New York, but in the country. This the party ought not to be called upon to face when it is considered how much there is to do and what serious difficulties have to be surmounted before it can be donen

JERSEY CITY. Dec. 30-Twenty-five Dem ocrats from all sections of New Jersey who are among the recognized adherents of Mr. Cleveland met at Taylor's hotel to discuss the selection of United States senator at the coming session of the legislature R. W Guthrie, of Englewood, offered reso- lution declaring Governor Abbett to be an unfit man to represent the people of New Jersey in the United States senate. This was modified by Gustavus Pollack, of Summit, who acted as secretary. As adopted the resolution merely declared the opposition of the meeting to the candidacy ot Governor Abbett. A committee, con- ~sisting of David M c. Means, J. D. Probst, John H. Laird, Cyril K. Forbes and s. B. Patterson, was appointed to prepare the reasons why Governor Abbett should not be elected and present them to the legisla- ture. The meeting took no action in favor of any candidate William A. Cotter, of Bennington, presided.

Why the Pope roreay. Moelynn.

NEW YORK, Jan. 8.-The Herald says: Rev. Dr. Edward F. McGlynn has been welcomed hack into the fold of the Catholic church simply because the pope considered that injustice was done him when he was accommodated. Archbishop Corrigan's charges against Dr. McGlynn, disobedience and preaching false doctrines, have not been acted upon at all by Mgr. Satolli in restoring Dr. McGlynn to his full powers as priest. These charges still hang over the head of Dr. McGlynn, but 1t is ex- tremely doubtful if they will ever be pushed. The case will probably never be reopened.
 Dr. McGlynu was accommodated for "contumacy" in not having gone to Rome when summoned by the pope to answer the charges made against him by Archbishop Corrigan.
 He was communicated because letter which he dispatched to the pope, after re- ceiving the cablegram from him ordering him to Rome within forty days, was sup pressed before it reached its destination by 4 church dignitary to whom 1t had been given for transmission.
 Had this letter reached the pope, it is said, Dr. McGlynn would not have been ex- communicated. The doctor did not know that his letter had miscarried and was sur prised to find himself accommodated.

VICTORY FC2 BRIGGS
HE IS ACQUITTED OF THE CHARGE
 OF HERESY.

The New York Presbytery, by a Vote of
 of the Professors Acquittai-Ths Pros
 ecution to Appeal.
 NEW YORK, Dec. s1.-Professor Charles F. Briggs, accused of heresy, was acquitted by a vote of 6s to 60 by the New York pres bytery. The result of this, one of the most important ecclesiastical trials in the his tory of the country, was great surprise. Even the most hopeful friends of the now famous divine did not hope that he would be acquitted on all of the six charges which had been made against him. On the first charge-that Dr. Briggs had taught that the reason Is a source of divine authority-the defendant was acquitted by vote of es to 60
 The vote on the second charge-that of having taught that the church is & source of divine autbority-resnlted in a much larger majority for Dr. Briggs. Fifty-five ballots were cast in favor of sustaining the charge and T votes against it.
 A Signal Victory for Briggs.
 The closest vote was on the charge that bA. ottESS lha bdhkhk bnab tut SSEtptuTN1 contained errors of history and fact It stood 6l to sustain the accusation and e for acquittal This proved to be a signal victory for the defendant. After the bal lot had been taken three of the men who have been most bitterly opposed to Dr. Briggs left the court room, while several refused to vote on the three remaining charges.
 On the fourth charge, which accused Dr. Briggs of having taught that Moses was not the author of the Pentateuch, the vot- ing was as follows: To sustain the charge, 53; against sustaining 1t, "a -
 The fifth charge vas that the defendant had taught that Isaiah did not write many of the chapters in the book bearing his name. On this count the vote was 70 to 4e In favor of Dr. Briggs.
 On the sixth charge, accusing Dr. Briggs of teaching that sanctilcation is progres- sive after death, the vote was 57 in favor of sustaining the charge, 60 against.
 It was announced that the prosecution would take an appeal to the general as sembly, which body will meet in Washing ton in the early part of the coming spring. This will in a measure be a work of super erogation, as the assembly Is obliged to re- view the proceedings of the presbytery.
