THE
NEW CATHEDRAL CHURCH
building rnoauiiss.
frtm th iV. T. UcraliL
In the Catholio churches of (his city last
HuudftT it was announced from tho altars that
the subscriptions hamloil in by the different
congregations towards the building fund of
thenew St. Patrick's Cathedral ninco the
comnioncemont of tho year amounted to the
Bum of eighty-two thousand dollars, and
that this total fell slightly short of that
taken up for the same purpose during the
year 1808. As the deficit was only "alight.'
and as many additional contributions may be
handod in before New Year for tho same
purpose, it is pretty safe to reckon the
amounts equal and fitalo the aggregate at
one hundred and sixty-four thousand dol
lars ft splendid attestation of the devotional
feeling, religions practice as from the days
of Solomon and industrial resources of the
Catholic community of the metropolis. It
should not be forgotten in this connection
that independent of the Cathodral fund
several new Catholic churches have been com
pleted and dedicated in the city, foundling
hospitals and houses of refuge and correction
opened, hospitals for the sick extended and
enlarged, free schools multiplied and attended
to by the Sisters of Charity and Christian
Brothers, and money and clothing given and
distributed most extensively yet unseen and
unheard of by the public to neoded and
acceptable charities besides. Our Catholio
friends have als sympathized freely with his
Iloliness Tope Pius tho Ninth in his financial
and treasury and general banking house
troubles in ltonie a sort of exceptional call
this season, and which may account for the
reduction in the Cathedral account de
spatching solid bonds and guarantees of
their adhesion to tho centre of religious unity
in the shape of hard sterling gold cash with
Archbishop McCloskey. We have no doubt
indeed but New York has come up fully to, if
it has not eclipsed San Francisco in this re
spect, notwithstanding the fact that it has
just taken a small detachmont of the Papal
guards to carry a huge nugget of silver,
brought from the Golden State to the feet of
his Holiness, for we must remember that this
nugget has to be yet crushed and smelted,
and may not "turn out so well after all,"
whereas tho New York testimonial was in the
shape of the handy, compact bars of the Sub
Treasury, duly verified with the world-respected
natienal initials "U. S."
The other religious communities have been
fervent and active in our midst also; the ex
ertions of the Rev. Dr. Chapin, of the Epis
copalians, the Presbyterians, Methodists, and
Israelites, in tho rearing up and opening and
dedicating of new temples, synagogues, and
schools during the year being worthy of all
the praise which they have received, as well
as of the current reports of their progress
which have appeared, in the columns of the
Jlerald immediately after each ceremonial.
The religious record is, on tho whole, of tho
most pleasing and encouraging character,
WJViag forth in a really sublime manner
what man will do for the glory of God under
a governmental system which affords freedom
ot conscience to alt by disclaiming the very
idea of a connection between Church and
State. On this point it is only necessary to refer
to the condition of the erly Catholio Church
and of the new Cathedral. The first priest
of that persuasion known to have set his foot
on the soil of the inland of Manhattan was
the Rev. Isaac Jogues, who came in 1151,'J.
He had I,een savagely tortured by the Mo
hawks, , kut was received kindly by the Dutch
settlors. The Italian Father Bressani came
Rext, was enslaved, tortured by the Indians,
' but ransomed and returned to France by tho
. (Dutch. Then came the Fathers Simon le
Aloyne and Mile! , the first to actually extend
the ministry to 1709. In 104.') Father Jogues
found in the "colony" one Irishman and one
Portuguese woman, Catholics, and the avant
communicants of the four hundred thousand
people of that faith now worshipping in this
city and on the same island of Manhattan.
It is useful to thus note the "nows" and
"thenu!' of religion as well as of the every,
day phases of life; it encourages man to per
severe in the faith and makes the community
better. It animates the young, consoles the
aged, and nerveB the struggling missionary.
A leading London journal in its effusions in
1820 gave what purported to be a sermon,
delivered by an Irish priest when asking for a
money collection for his church, in which he
- was made to state that at the great day of final
account each clergyman would have to appear
at the head of his resurrected congregation and
answer for himself and the members thus:
''Father, how have you treated the people V"
"I have baptized, married, confessed, ab
solved, and attended the sick and dying, and
buried the dead." "A faithful priest to the
people; but, father, how did your congrega
tion treat you ?" "And here, said ho, is your
danger, for you know I must tell the
truth, and you know too you don't half pay
me."- This ridiculous satire does not cer
tainly apply to tho faithful in Now York; so
all our clergy, from the Archbishop down,
can answer confidently. It is truly wonderful
where the fallen arch enemy finds his mate
rial, or how he manages to keep agoing within
the corporate limits.
TECUMSEII SHERMAN FOR PRESIDENT.
Frsm tlte X. Y. Sun.
At the meeting of the Soeiety of the Army
of the Tennessee at Louisville, on Friday
last, General William Tecumaeh Sherman
was nominated for President of the United
. States. This was not done by tho Society at
laree. but by one of the members; but as we
learn from that popular and trustworthy jour
nal, the Cincinnati Commercial, "the motion
was received wiin louu acclamations.
There are many things to commend General
Sherman as a Presidential candidate. He is
endowed with extraordinary talents; his mind
is versatile and rapid as well as comprehen
Bive; his stores of information upon almost
every subject are extensive and accurate; he
is a cood lawyer as well as a great soldier; his
judgment is prompt and generally good; his
courage IS equal to any uauger; uis imuioubiu
is sincere and devoted. His manners, too, are
free from all trace of vanity or arrogance, and
he shakes hands with a laborer as readily as
with a millionaire. His opinions are his own,
. and belong to no party. On some subjects
his sentiments acrree with those of the Ve
mocraoy, on others he will advocate the doc
trines of old-fashioned Federalism; but he
filwavs exoresKos himself without disguise,
sometimes with an attractive paradoxical
flavor: and he avows an unpopular idea just
as readily as one that is sure to meet with
universal plaudits.
With such personal qualities, and with the
preatioe of his reputation as a military louder,
it is a imnttar of course that General Sherman
"hould be thought of for the Presidency, and
iuat he should think of it himself. Aud yet
""""Ve doubt wb.et.her he will ever Keriotniy be a
candidate. In the first place, his obligations
towards General Grant will keep him in the
background for some time to come. General
Grant is understood by those who are in the
w ay of seeing him intimately to cherish a
deep desire for a re-election. This feeling
will naturally grow stronger as the docisive
year of 1872 approaches, and the influences
which tho President can always bring to bear
will doubtless be exerted to socure for him
the nomination of the Republican National
Convention. As long as General Grant is a
candidate, General Sherman cannot and will
not enter tho field; and when it is determined
that the Republicans will not have Grant, it
will be too late for Sherman to fish for thoir
nomination; indeed, his relation to Grant
would make it difficult for him to accept a
nomination which Grant had failed to secure,
though it should bo unanimously tendered to
him.
Besides, it is not now probable that in 1872
either party will adopt a military candidate.
The experience of tho Republicans with
Grant has been such as to give thora a dis
trust of shoulder-straps in civil office; and
even if he should now forsako his follies and
make a sensible and successful administra
tion, ho can hardly recover, either for himself
or for other statesmen of military education,
the confidence he has forfoitod. And as for
the Democrats, while there is nothing in
General Sherman's antecedents or in his poli
tical convictions to forbid thoir taking him
up, it is almost certain that they will be less
inclined to run a military candidate in 1872
than they have ever been before
For these reasons, we imagine that the
nomination of General Sherman at Louisville
will not bo adopted by either of the great
parties, but that it will remain without any
substantial consequences. There is also an
other consideration which will bo in the way
of his becoming President. When he came
to Washington last spring he was provailod
upon to accept a present of a hundred and
two thousand dollars, raised, 'as we were told
ot the time, at General Grant's special request,
from various citizens of New Y'ork and New
England. Two-thirds of this largo sum was
devoted to paying General Grant a greatly
advanced price for a house which Mr. A. R.
Corbin had procured to bo presented to him
three years before. The givers of these rich
presents were most of them patriotic men,
who dosirod to testify their appreciation of
General Grant's and General Sherman's ser
vices to the country, and that was all right,
But General Grant has found in those dona
tions a reason for appointing some of the
least delicate and deserving of tho donors to
high office; and with this proceeding the
country is justly dissatisfied. Though it is
not believed that General Sherman has been
actively a party to such appointments, yet the
fact that he has been mixed up in the busi
ness at all will always stand in tho way of his
attaining tho Presidency, even if apart from
this unfortunate complication there were a
wide-spread disposition to nominate and
elect him.
THE METHODIST BOOK CONCERN.
From the Ar. Y. Tribune. . '
Some months, ego, a great sensation was
made in this city by a report that a serious
mismanagement had been discovered in some
departments of the Methodist Book Concern.
Two distinct charges wore made: First, that
the large amount of paper which is used by
the Book Concern, the largest religious publi
cation house in tho world, was not, as it
ought to have been, purchased by tho agents
directly, but through middlemen, who thus
received a heavy commission which might
have been saved; and secondly, that in the
bindery department frauds had been commit
ted, resulting in serious lossos to the Concern.
During the last two weeks the General
Book Committee have been in session in
this city to examine the affairs of the Book
Establishment, inclusive of the charges which
had beon brought against some of its officers.
We publisheu yesterday the report which
has been agreed upon by the majority. It is
very brief, and must Btriko every one who
recollects the grave and distinct charges which
had been made as exceedingly cautious. With
regard to one of the charges that against the
bindery department tho committee declare
themselves satisfied "that there has been
great mismanagement in this department,
and that Berious losses have occurred therein."
It is but fair to add that the former head of
the department complains that no opportu
nity was all or tied mm to olear himself
from the charges brought against him,
and that he intends, as is reported,
to vindicate his management by bringing a
libel suit against the junior agent who
caused this investigation. With regard to
tho other charge the purchase of paper
through middlemen tho report admits its
correctness, but adds that "it does not appear
by any facts before tne committee tnat tne
Concern nas suiierei any serious loss u
such mode of making purchases." With al
respect for tho theological eminence of the
men composing the committee, we doubt
whother there are many business men who
will find such a report satisfactory. The
denial tnat tne Uoncern Had sullered any
Htrious loss will seem to many to imply tnat
some loss has been sullered; and if so, people
will naturally be anxious to know something
about its extent and the committee's opinion
as to what constitutes a serious loss. It had
been distinctly charged that sonio of tho par
ties from whom the midulomen had purchased
the paper had expressly testified that they
would have sold the paj)er diroctly to the Book
Concern for the same price which they re
ceived from tho middlemen, and that thus tho
Concern might have raved tho commission.
We believe many will bo disappointed by tho
committee s entire silence as to this point
The business habits of tho Methodists must be
very different from those of other people, if
the Church at large will not demand a full
and distinct statement as to whether any loss
has been suffered by this brokerage in the
purchase of the paper, and if so, now lurge
the amount has been.
The publio in general have been anxious to
learn whether the charges of mismanagement
against the officers of the great religious Book
Concern were based on any fact or only on
false rumors. 1 he verdict on the committee i
finding, we fear, will be that it fails to con
vey, with satisfactory fullness, the desired in
formation.
"A LAST BLOW AT BAILING SHIPS."
From the N. Y. World.
The Ecening Post makes the following bril
liant display of its competency to form opi
nions on subjects connected with commerce
and navigation:
"A contdilerablu licet has pnssert tlironah the 8uea
Canal; and now we hear of but one objection to It
that it cuuuot well bo used for Bulling vusaelH, aa the
Red Hca in unlit for their navigation.
'That In aa though one should object to railroads
on;the w ore thut nlae coaches cannot make use or
them. Kullinu; vessels, for loug voyages, have for
some time past been going out of use, and the open
ing of the buz l auul Is likely to give thin eland or
shipp, except for epechil and limited voyaged, a iiuul
blow.
'This U probably good for commerce and for tho
engine-builders; but It may bo regretted by those
who connect a little rotnauee with the ocean. The
future Jlarryatt or Cooper will have to deal with
stokers ami euyUiecrs instead or seamen. ; aud win
have to describe not Intricate munnrnven tinder can
vas, but the poriln or the coal hole and the tlarlugl
the noble fireman."
Amid the surfeit of flashy gasconade about
the expected wonders to bo wrought by tha
Sues Canal, we have met nothing quite so
absurd in its extravagance as this grave de
livery by a paper which affects some know
ledge of. commerce. If it be true that tho
opening of the new canal gives the finishing
blow to sailing vessels, and will chase thorn
out of existenco, then a prodigious effect will
be produced by a .small cause. Nino-tonths
of the vessels now afloat in all the harbors,
rivers, lakes, seas, and oceans of tho world,
are sailing vessels. How the Suez Canal is to
cause a substitution of steamships in their
stead is not very apparent. It would seem to
ordinary mortals that tho Suez Canal can
change the character only of tho vessels that
pass through it; and these will bo so insignifi
cant a traction of the whole tonnaw ot tne
world, that the Post must either be ludi
crously ignorant of tho subject, or fancy that
by some stupendous miracle the sailing ships
are about to encounter a fate like that which
once overtook Pharaoh's army not far from
the site of tho new canal.
If steamships aro preferable to sailing ves
sels in point of economy (and especially for
long vovaces!) as the Post thinks, now does
it explain tho fact that tho great ocean lines
exist only by subsidies ? Great Britain is
paying annual subsidies to lines of ocean
steamers amounting to about -1,000.000 a
year; and yet these subsidized steamers have
tho great advantage over sailing vossols of a
largo passenger trainc, which is altogether
more profitable than tho carrying of freights.
The American ocoan lines had a feoblo, flick
ering existence so long as they were subsi
dized by our Government, but perished as
soon as the subsidies were withdrawn.
The Post's idea that steamships are best
adapted to long voyages is a very crazy
whimsy indeed. It shows not only a total
ignorance of tho statistics of the subject,
but, we are almost tempted to say, a total
destitution of common sense. For you have
only to make the voyago long enough, and it
will require the whole capacity of the ship
for the coal needed for propelling her, leav
ing no room for any other cargo. In short
trips the fuel of a steamer occupies but a
small part of its space, and some classes of
freights can be carried at a profit without pas
sengers or subsidies.
It appears from tho annual report of the
Chamber of Commerce, printed in l.HliO, that
the total number of arrivals of vessels in this
port from foreign coun'ries, in tho preceding
year, was 1(!C2, of which only 4. I worejsteam-
ers. In tho same year tho whole number of
arrivals in this port of vessels engaged in tho
coastwise trade was 7'.I72; of which 1004 were
steamers. Every trip of the same vessel
being counted as a separate arrival, aud tho
greater speed of steamers enabling them to
mako more frequent trips, tne proportion of
steamer? to sailing vessels is considerably
nujttller than the above figures would seem to
make it. So the Post will perceive that if
it offers its opinion as a prophecy, nothing
short of a miracle can lulhl it; if as a deduc
tion, it is a conclusion without any promises.
THE SPANISH GUNBOATS.
Vrom the K. Y. Times.
Events soon pns from tho public rcoolloa
tion in thoso days, but probably our readers
have not quite iorcrolten the Spanish gnn-
UoatB, about which there has been so much
controversy. A whole iloet was being ntted
out in differont yards, and it was only natural
to suppose that some part of it was intended
for use against tho insurgents in Cuba, or for
the defense of the island against attacks from
outside sources. I ho Government was placed
in a troublesome position. On the one hand
it was beset with applications for interference
in the interest ot the uubaa lnaepenaence
party. The popular sympathies were, and
doubtless are, on this side. "Why, it was
urged, "should you lend your aid to crush
out an attempt to drive hpain from Cuba i If
you will not assist a people in their effort to
. r ; t
acmeve ineir uuerauon irom a ioreiga uuu
despotio rule, at least do not go out of your
way to ruin thom. If you cannot help them,
do not help their enemies.
This was a lair expression oi the public
feeling, but unfortunately public feeling was
not based upon a study ot the law, or a con
sideration of the question how far our Gov
eminent would be uistihed in seizing these
gunboats. Supposa they were intended for
Cuba, could we lawfully detain them ? Every
competent amthority would answer no. In
the present state ot an airs bpain may bulla
as many vessels as she pleases in our yards,
provided thev are not intended tor use
acainst any power with which we are at peace
Now we have no knowledge of Cuba as an in
dependent power. N e only know it as a
Spanish dependency.
15ut at this juncture tho seizure oi tue Doats
was demanded by Peru. It was alleged that
tho fleet was intended, indirectly, lor use
acniiibt that Government; and the boats aro
still held upon that complaint, under tho neu
trality laws. But it is obvious that tho Gov
ernment cannot continue to hold them with
out recard to the demand of Spain for resti
tat ion. "We have reason to believe that the
time is at hand when tho administration will
feel itself compelled to have the case decided,
one way or tho other, by the properly consti
tuted judicial authorities.
A contemporary, anticipating this neces
sitv. snid sonio time aero that if. when the
Spanish Minister demanded the release of the
boats, "tho independence party be ropre
sented bv a eovernmont and an army, ' it
would be unite feasible to concedo to tha in
surgents belligerent rights. But we are asking
now. as wo were a year ago, whore is tho
"government of Cuba?" Here, however, is
the Snanish Minister, and ho chums tho gun
boats. He ulleges that they could not possibly
bo used acraiust l'eru. and that, moreover,
Spain does not occupy a position towards
Peru which renders the use of gunboats
against her at all probable. "What, then, can
the Government do 'i There is but ono coivrso
before it. It will undoubtedly send tho case
before tho nroner tribunal, and the Peruvian
Rovernment iriLl bo required to make good its
claim. If it cannot do this the boats must
go free, or bo detained only by virtue of some
step on tho part of tho Government for which
it has given no sign that it is prepared.
