WHAT IS CHRISTIANITY I
William Lloyd Garrison on the Dickens On en
lion. In this week's Independent Mr. W. L. Garri
son writes on the question, "What is it to bo a
Christian? Ho- confesses "to a good deal of
bewilderment, first, as to where the line Is to be
drawn, and, secondly, as to the competency of
this or that person or tribunal to pass sentence
f x cattedra. "Was he a Christian ?" But what
is it to be a Christian? Shall the test be Fro
testant or Catholic ? Shall it be a creed or a
covenant? If so, whose, authoritatively? Shall
it be the Bible? But that is received with eo.ua
reverence by a multitude of rival sects, and
from them proceed a thousand conflicting in
terpretations. Every new sect is a fresh heresy, to bo de
nounced and persecuted until it is strong; enough
to be taken into general partnership. Then
when its reproach is wiped away, it joins with
alacrity in persecuting the next dissenting body
that makes its appearance; and the offensive
repetition goes on from one generation to
another.
Certainly, Jesus was not a Christian in the
modern use of the term, for that implies what
is most respectable close conformity to what is
established and popular blind veneration of the
past. He had no religious reputation whatever.
What was said of Him, what was done to Ilim
on account of His heresy, we know. He was
charged with being guilty of sedition, a Sabbath
breaker, a blasphemer, and having a devil, and
treated accordingly. He was a Christian ! The
term has lost its original signification, and
through utter perversion has become worthless
as a test of true religious character Those who
claim to be His followers are bound to show
that they are animated by at least something of
His pplrit in a readiness to bear testimony to un
popular truth, cost what it may. But the loudest
of such claimants are those who are careful to
be on the popular side: and as scrupulous in
tithing mint, anise, and cummin, and neglecting
the weightier matters of the law, as were the
ancient Scribes and Pharisees. For one, I care
not how high any of this class praise the dead,
or how great may be their professed veneration
for Luther or Calvin, for Whitefield or Wcslev.
for Roger Williams or Swedenborg, for Moses or
uavid, ior Jesus or raui. u auoras no evidence
of any vital appreciation of those "of whom
the world was not worthy." The cowardly
and time-serving, the hypocritical and
tharisaical. aro ever nromnt to anDear as the
special champions of all departed, canonized
worth. The last persons in the world who
should presume to profess admiration of the
bold dissenter, the upright heretic, the righteous
agitator, the heaven-inspirea ianatic ot me past,
are they who dread to be found in a minority,
who are always consulting the vane of public
opinion, who shrink from grappling with pre
vailing iniquity, who shudder at the thought of
perilin g their reputation, ana w nose aim is to
pass through life without the slightest connec
tion with anything deemed extravagant or fana
tical. It seems to me that we should feel far more
concerned in never having our Christian char
acter questioned than In being regarded as out
of its pale on the part of its facile and dogmatic
professors.
THAT TERRIBLE MOT.
'Another Slander Nailed" now the Demo
crals Make Capital.
Yesterday, says the Harrisburg Topic of the
14th inst., an Investigation was made before his
Honor Mayor Cole, and the following affidavit
gives a truthful version of the moat terrific riot
which is bo fearfully exercising the Democracy
all over the country, from Maine to Texas:
AFFIDAVIT OF CAPTAIN THOMAS PETBRSON AND LIEU'
TENANT EDMUND ROBINSON.
"on tne morning or tne rourta or j uiy, the com-
ranv was formed on Fulton street, west Harrisbure:
inarched to the railroad depot and took the cars for
the picnic grounds, borne time after this a difficulty
occurred on the porch of a tavern between two
white and two colored men, not soldiers, the result of
which was, the two colored men were whipped and
ran awav.
'The news of this fight was brought up to the
grounds by the two colored men who had been
beaten and by others, stating that roughs at Marys
vllle were abusing the colored people there, and
then, tor the nrat time, a number of the colored sol
diers, not more than one-third of the company, and
of whom not more than six had their guns taken
without the knowledge of the officers and not one
of which was loaded, left the grounds and went
down to MarysvUle. At no time was there more
than one-third of the company away from the pic
nic grounds; and those who went to Marysvllle
went thereto protect the colored people, if possi
ble, by stopping the quarrel, and not to create a
riot.
'Returning home, the company was formed at the
picnic grounus aepoi, ana marcnea into tne rear car.
Pass ids through MarysvUle, atones were thrown at
the cars, and shots were tired from both sides of the
road, injuring several of the colored people. No
shot was returned by any member of the comnanv.
nor was a shot fired frou the car containing the col
ored soldiers. JNO mussel was aiscnarged on tnat
day. either at the picnic grounds or at MarysvUle.
No musket was loaded before leaving Harris burg or
af u rwards. Ne ammunition has ever been Issued to
this company, nor been purchased or provided by
the compauy, and any shots fired, either
at MarysvUle or from the train returning, by colored
people, were irom pistois or arms not belonging to,
and by persons not members of, the company. It is
not known mat any niemoer 01 tne company had a
Biatol on that day. No private residence was at any
time entered or interfered with by any of the colored
soldiers. A white man fired three or four pistol
shots from the aoor of a house at a crowd of colored
men; be was pursued as far as the foot of the stair
way, Just inside the door, but was not followed any
further. It is probable this plBtolwas not loaded
with anything but blank cartridge, otherwise some
of the colored men must have been either killed or
wounded.

A LITTLE HISTORY.
Motley, Badean, and the EnaUsh Mission.
There are wheels within wheels. I he re
moval of Mr. Motley from the post of Minister
in London, while it is in so far defensible that
it relieves the public service of an eminently
uc1cfs even if not wholly nnornamental func
tionary, uncovers a curious little subterranean
"unpleasantness" also between that functionary
and the President. When Mr. Motley was sent
to London the President insisted upon his tak
ing with him as Assistant Becretary of .Legation
one of the President s particular friends, "Gene-
..P tta.laa.l Thnra saamnri tr. PrnaMnnf
Grant to be something quite "literary and appro
priate," as Mrs. Malaprop would say, in this com
bination. Mr. Motley had written a history, the hero of
which was a soldier "William the Silent," of
Holland. General Badcau has also written a
history, the hero of which was a soldier
l lvsses 8. Grant, also "the Silent," of America.
There was a difference betweon the histories, to
be sure, In that Mr. Motley s was an interest
ing book which had brought profit to its pub
lishers, and to its author both profit and Lime,
while General Badcau's was a very dreary book,
which had brought anguish to its publishers and
to its author neither gold nor glory. To this
difference General Badeau, naturally enough,
was blind, while Mr. Motley, perhaps as natu
rally, saw this auterence only too Keenly.
The conseouenco thereof was so much and
such persistent snubbing of the Secretary by the
Minister that the former returned in tears and
wrath to Washington, complaining sorely to his
hero. The hero heard and sympathized as
what hero could fail to sympathize? with the
undervalued and insulted author of his own
Odyssey. JJeJ sent General Badeau back
to London, not as Secretary, but as a Consul
General, the head of our commercial as Mr.
Motley was of our diplomatic representation in
Great Britain. This displeased Mr. Motley as
much as it delighted General Badeau, and the
feud between the two grew even more and more
bitter.
The restiveness of Senator Sumner on the
question of St. Domingo at last settled the mat
ter. Mr. Motley, who was appointed to please
Sumner, is now ejected to displease him. and
General Badeau is avenged. i he lesser Histo
rian of the dumb hero living triumphs over the
creator historian of the dumb hero dead. So
earthller happy is he who colleagues with silent
Ulysses of Galena smoking in the White House

FEARFUL PRESENTIMENT.
Startling Realization of an Ominous Dream.
The printers in the German newspaper offices.
Bays the Cincinnati Commercial, are discussing,
with bated breath and startled faces, a peculiar
circumstance well calculated to send a thrill
through a superstitious body. It is all about
"only a dream, out mere is a marvellous coin
cidence in the case.
Charles Boehler, the German printer, who,
In a fit of delirium tremens, killed himself by
jumping from a third-story window, was buried
yesterday, July 12, his funeral being largely
attended. Some three years ago this unfortu
nate man was working at the case, side by side
with his intimate friend Chris. Stieler, at the
Volksblatt office. One noon Stieler came into
the composing-room, having an unusually se
rious expression. Asked as to the cause, he
gathered a group around him from among the
printers, and as they sat in a neighboring
saloon over their Deer, ne described to them
how, in his sleep, from which he had but re
cently awakened, he had seen, slowly drawn
before him by wacK-piumea wmte norses, a
sombre hearse, containing a full-length coffin.

This dream, no more singular than many that
every reader 01 tnis nas naa, Dut leanuny
ominous to a superstitious mind, did not have
much effect at that time on many of those who
beard it. It was not forgotten, however, for on
the 10th of July, last year, uoenier was con
gratulated by his friends who knew the dream
on the fact of being alive and in good health.
Boehler remarked: "Well, I ve got another
vear to live yet." He had only a year, however.

surely and swiftly approached, and that he was

IneOectunI Intervention of the Grent Powers.
Brussels, July 15. The intervention of the
great powers for peace has been ineffectual.
Napoleon will announce to-day the rupture of
relations between France and Prussia and
declaration of war.
France Declares Wnr against Prussia The
insult to vount ueneaetti tne (Jnuse.
Paris, July 15. An extraordinary edition of
the Constitutional just issued (at noon) an
nounces that in consequence of the insult
offered to Benedetti, the French Ambassador,
France accepts the war which Prussia offers.
The Mews Con Armed.
Paris, July 15. The declaration of war has
been announced in the Corps Legislatif.
The Situation In Paris.
Paris, July 14 Evening. It is reported on
the best authority that an angry interview oc
curred between the Emperor and the Prime
Minister Olllvler, growing out of the latter's
known disposition for peace. The Emperor
violently denounced Olliviers efforts in this
direction.
The Movement of Troops Towards the Rhine
frontier is incessant. Eastern France is abso
lutely alive with soldiers. The troops which
have hitherto garrisoned Paris have gone and
raw levies are slowly replacing them. Ambu
lances and caissons throng the streets of the
city on their route to the East.
The preparations at the different naval sta
tions are on a similarly large scale. It Is the
general belief here that war will be declared.
The Popular Feeling in France.
Paris, July 15. The Bourse Is flat. Rentes,
65f. 60c. There is great agitation here, and
many demonstrations in favor of war are made
by the people. During the night crowds of
students and others paraded the streets and
boulevards, shouting " Vive la Guerre!'" "Down
with Prussia: ' etc. Borne persons wno pro
tested were hissed and insulted. The police did
not interfere.
The crowd stopped at the Prussiam Embassy
and shouted insultingly. It is asserted that the
Prussian Ambassador leaves Paris to-day. Aus
tria professes neutrality unless a third power
intervenes.
How the Markets are Affected.
London, July 15. The news is more warlike
again to-day. The feeling at the exchanges ot
Europe is one of distrust, and the prices ef secu
rities generally are at the lowest point yet
reached. At Paris, at half past 11 last night, the
Bourse was excited and rentes fell to 67 francs.
At Frankfort United States 5-30 bonds closed
yesterday at 88 against 96K, the usual price,
and at the London Exchange this morning
stocks and foreign securities opened flat and
nominal at a heavy decline. The following in
teresting despatches bearing upon the situation
have been received here to-day:
The Excitement In Prussia.
Berlin, July 15 The King returns here to
day. There is great excitement here.
Particulars of the Withdrawal of Benedetti,
Berlin, July 15 The North German Gazette
has a despatch from Ems to-day giving the par
ticulars of the withdrawal of Benedetti. It
seems that he accosted the King of Prussia
while the latter was drinking the waters, de
mandlng peremptorily his intentions on the
pending imbroglio.
He was therefore dismissed immediately. The
same paper cays there is much activity at the
Prussian ports, which are being put in a state
of defense. Fourteen iron-clads and frigates
are ready to start from Brest and Cherbourg.
THE NEW ASUS BELLI.
M. Benedetti, the French Minister to Prussia.
As announced in our cable despatches this
afternoon, the casus belli has finally shifted from
the candidature of Prince Leopold to the refusal
of King William of Prussia to grant a further
audience to M. Vincent Benedetti, the French
Ambassador, who, on applying to the King yes
terday for an audience to exact that the royal
veto be applied to any fresh approaches to the
Prince on the part oi spain, was turned away
with an answer through an aide-de-camp to the
effect that his Majesty had no further communi
cation to make. And now, according to the
statement in the Paris Constitutional of to-day,
Napoleon is prepared to fight Prussia on account
of the insult thus heaped upon his representa
tive, and the declaration of war has been an
nounced in the Corps Legislatif.
M. Benedetti, who is thus suddenly elevated
into prime importance, is of Italian extraction,
and was born in Corsica about the year 1815.
He was educated especially for the consular and
diplomatic service, and was appointed Consul at
Palermo in 1848. He soon afterwards became
First Becretary to the embassy at Constanti
nople, and in May, 1859, was appointed Envoy
to Persia. This position, however, he declined,
and some montus aiterwarus ne was ap
pointed director of political affairs to the
Foreign Minister. He acted as secretary and
editor of Uie protocols areei uoia at tho Ci
gress of Paris in 1850, became the first French
Minister to the Kingdom of Italy iu 1801, and
was appointed to his present position as Ambas
sador to Berlin on November 27, 1804. As the
Emperor only desires a pretext for fighting, an
insult to M. Benedetti will of course answer as
well as any other.

Washington, July 15. The President re

members of his Cabinet occupied the President's
room, attending to business. A number of bills
were signed by him, including the Tax and
Tariff and the Funding bill.
"Red Cloud" nnd Peaee.
The Indian Bureau has received the following
telegram from Colonel Chambers:
Fort Fetterman, July 14. Red Cloud and
sixty lodges of Sioux came here yesterday and
left to-day, with the detcrminationof Inducing
all Indians in the country to make peace. He
goes from here direct to the Cheyennes and
Arrapahoes.
The Senate Asks an Extension.
The Senate has passed a resolution, now sent
to the Donee for concurrence, providing for an
extension of the session two hours, being until
2 o'clock to-day. ThiB extension is asked by
the Senate with a view of enabling the commit
tee of conference on the Indian bill to adjust the
difference between the two houses.
It is probable there will be an accommodation
on the basis propoeed by Senator Morrill, of
Maine, namely, that the aggregate sum of six
millions be appropriated to bo expended under
the direction of the Pre-ident for the purpose of
fulfilling the treaty stipulations, without men
tioning any particular treaties. The committee
of conference consists of Senators Harlan,
Pomeroy, and Davis, and Representatives Alli
son, Dawes, and Holman.

The President has signed the Georgia bill.
Frellnghuysen's Nomination,
The Senate is still considering the nomination
of Mr. Frelinghuysen.
Closing Ncenes of Congress.
Special Despatch to The livening Telegraph.
Washington, July 15. There are large
crowds of people at the Capitol this morning to
witness the closing scenes of the session. The
galleries of the House are full, and it is almost
impossible to get through the corridors. The
Senate has been in executive session all the
morning on the nomination of Frellnghuysea as
Minister to England. Mr. Sumucr is making an
elaborate speech in favor of Mr. Motley, but it
is understood that he will yield to allow a vote
to be taken before adjourning.
Both Houses to Adjourn at 4 o'clock.
In view of the fact that the Indian bill is still
in conference, with little prospects of agreeing,
both houses have passed a joint resolution ex
tending the time of adjournment from 13 to 2
o'clock. This, it is thought, will give time to
come to some agreement.
A Possible Extra Session.
In case of Congress adjourning without pass
ing the Indian bill, the President has prepared a
proclamation calling an extra session. It will
be read at once before the members can leave
the hall, should they adjourn without passing
the Appropriation bill.
Russia to Join Prussia.
Baron Gerolt, Prussian Minister, is in receipt
of additional despatches to-day from his Gov
ernment, which state that Prussia has deter
mined to meet the menace of France with a
declaration of war. According to' these des
patches Russia is to join Prussia.

Despatch to the Associated Press.
Washington, July 15 The committee of
conference on the Indian Appropriation bill
have agreed to a report. The amount is about
the same as proposed by the Senate, six mil
lions. They have avoided the point in dispute
between the two houses, namely, the Indian
treaties of 18C7 and 1868, made by the Sherman
peace commissioners, by neither affirming or
denying their validity, ihe proviso agreed
upon by the Indian conference committee is that
nothing contained in the bill shall be held to
affirm the validity of the treaties made by the

Mr. Sargent moveu a non-concurrence in tne

Mr. Dawes called the attention of the House to the
serious question involved in the disagreement be
tween the two nouses, -me question was no more
nnr less than wnetner tne iiouae snouici nave any
voice in the appropriation of money. The position
had been taken lu the Hen ate last night that by a
treaty alone, without any intervention of the louse
of Kepreseutatives, money could be tiken out of the
Treasury whether the IIoue of Representatives
consented or not. The House could not yield to such
a surrender of power. He desired not to be placed
on the conference committee, but he warned the
Honse in t on tne conclusion wnicn inignt be
reached would rest the policy oi this Government In
the next generation.
Mr. Garileld remarked that the House was now
brought face to face with the practical question
whether mere suouiu u u extra session or
whether the matter should be concluded to-dav.

A MATTE a OP PUNCTILIO.
The treaties were made and the question for the
shonld be by it rejected and spurned. It was with
the House all a matter of punctilio. The Honse was
willing to appropriate the money but not willing to
admit the force of its treaties. The House was will
ing to pour out f.vooo,000, and tell sometwdy to sow
it oer the wild west. The House might Just as well
appropriate 1800,000,000 and tell the President to
take it and run the Government with It.
Mr. Paine opposed the Senate amendment, and
argued that the punctilio in the matter was on the
part of the Senate, not the House.
Mr. Allison also opposed the Senate amendment,
and stated that these treaties set apart for Indian
reservations three hundred miles in the midst of
the United States, not for thirty years, but for all
time a territory which within five years would be
intersected with railroads and filled up with emi
grants. It was therefore absolutely inevitable that
within three years theso treaties must be broken,
whatever might be done now.
committee of confehence afpointep.
The Honse refused to concur In the Senate amend
ment, and Messrs. Sargent, Allison, and Holman
were appointed a committee of conference. Mr.
Sargent declined to serve, thinking that there should
be a new conference committee. Uetaaid he had
fought this battle to vindicate the rights of the
House, and to protect the public domain and Trea
sury, for several wcekB, but now thought the new
conference shonld be entirely new; and he set the
example of declining, that the committee might not
be embarrassed oy ms preconceived opinions.
The Speaker thereupon appointed Mr. Dawes la
his place.

FROM THE STATE.
The Miners' EUht-hour Strike a Failure.
Sp'Hal Despatch to The Evening Te'ejraph.
bCBANTON, Pa., July 15. Trom present indi
cations the contemplated strike of the miners in
favor of the eight-hour law will prove an entire
failure. The meetings of associations held in
different regions within the past week have
failed to harmonize discordant feeling, and al
though the strike was to have begun to-day,
nothing of the kind has been done. The upper
Lehigh men are all at work. All themines in
this vicinity are being worked as usual. The
Beaver Meadow miners have deferred action on
the eight-hour question until Tuesday of next
week. This failure to carry out the resolutions
of the Grand Council will no doubt be the
means of a general resumption in the Schuylkil'.
region.

Dull Times.
Court of Quarter 8vntion Judge Paxson.
This court is still open for tue trial of prisoners,
but busmen Is very ulack and se iui liaidly to jus-
vers. One party, a boy, was found guilty this morn
ing of stealing a bag or rags from the store No. 843
South Water street, and another party was convicted
of the larceny of a pair of shoes from a shop in
Eighteenth street, above Market. Then It was
deemed tit to put on trial a case In which two old
women charged each other with assault and battery,
and this occupied the remainder of the morning.
The ball cases before Jurtire Ludlow, in the old
court-room, are of an equally trifling and uninte
resting character.
