Speaking of the Papal excouimuiutlon of
Dr. John Josonn Ignatius Dollinger, the roost
influential theslonlan in Bavaria, aud one of the
znofi eminent scholars of the Catholic Church in
this age, the -N'ew Y ork Evening J'vsl says:
Dr. Dolllrzer Is the author of many works
'which bare taken a high place in theologies
literature. As a writer upon ecclesiastical LU
torr, he hps no superior In scholarship an.1 accu
racy. In all the controversies which have imi
tated the Church in this generation, he has been
prominent as an advocate of liberal views, of
education and freedom. He has also had a
considerable Influence in South-German politics,
and has strenuously urged the separation of
Church and fctate, and the vol un tan' surrender
of the temporal power by the Pope. "The Catho
lic Church loses in him perhaps the most Im
portant link that has connected it with the
general movement of European thought; bet
what Dr. Dollinger loses by the change we shall
not undertake to estimate.
Anticipated Coneiieiicc of His Cicora.
muuicatlou.
Previous to the decree of excommunication,
'which has been pronounced against Dr. Dollin
ger, the eminent Roman Catholic theologian,
the Bishop of Munich demanded that he should
give In his adhesion to the new doj'mn of Papnl
Infallibility within ten days. Dr. Dollinger re
plied to this formal request maintaining his
original position unchanged, and absolutely re
fusing his adherence to the doctrine of infalli
bility, or, as he himself puts it, "der Allgewult
und Uufchlbarkeit," "of the omnipotence aud
infallibility" of the Tope.
For this decision he gives his reasons at
length. Brietly summarized, these reasons are:
The new doctrines are inimical to Scripture, as
interpreted by the Fathers, and to the belief and
tradition of churchmen in all ages. Ti;e argu
ments in their favor are principally derived
from forged, ungenulne documents; aud doc
trines precisely oppowite were published by two
General Councils and several Popes ia the fif
teenth century. The new dogma Is altogether
incompatible with the Constitution of several
European States, especially with that of Bavaria,
to which Dr. Dollinger, as a member of the
Reicbsrath, has sworn allegiance. The reply
next deals with the question, Was the council
free ? This it decide pobltively in the negative;
and it likewise brings forward several Instances
to show gross Ignorance of church history and
authorities on the part of the majority by
which the dozma was supported.
Dr. Dollinger then draws a picture of the re
Bults which must follow from the principles of
the Jesuits, through whom, mainly this dogma
has been declared, ihe repression men a in
tellectual activity, and a temporal zj less than a
spiritual terrorism, the Popo being by a Jesuit
declared to have -control over all kings as over
all bishops, are, aooording to the reply, the con
sequences wnlcb muut lonow irorn rapai lniai
libility. Dr. Dollinger asks that he should be
allowed to la' these considerations before the
Council of Gorman Bishops which, it is ex
pected, will meet shortly at Fulda, or, that
beine refused, before the Archbishop's chapter.
The reply tuus'conclude.: "As a Christian, as
- a theologian, as a historian, as a citizen, l can
not acceDt this doctrine. As a Christian for it
is Irreconcilable with the spirit of ihe Gospel
and with the clear expressions of Christ and the
apofctles; it will raise up that very kingdom of
thie world which Christ rejected, that dominion
over communions which Peter denied to all and
to fcimself. As a theologian for the whole
. genuine literature of the Church stands opposed
to it. I cannot accept it as a historian for as
such I know that the persistent endeavor to
realize this theory of the dominion of the
world has cost streams of blood, has con
fused and ruined whole countries, has shaken
the beautiful organic constitutional -structure
of the more ancient Church, and has
produced, nourished, and maintained the worst
abusec in the Church. Finally, as a citizen, I
must reject it, since by its claim that States
and mouarche, and all political organization
should be subjected to the Papal power, And
through the exempt position demanded for the
clergy, it lays the foundation for endless ruinous
division between State and Church between
the clergy and the laity. For this I cannot con
ceal from myself that this dootrine, the result of
which was the destruction of the German em
pire, will, in caee it should become dominant
among the Catholic portion of the German
nation, immediately plant the germ of an in
curable decay in the new empire which has been
uet uuutup."

A Mail Cut Ills Throat in a Fit f Tern-

On Monday Mr. Otis S. Moulton, the proprie

While she was absent he went down staire

THE NATIONAL BOARD OF UNDER
WRITERS. Fifth Annual Sedition Unfavorable Report
of the President.
The New York Express of last evening says:
The fifth annual meeting of the New York
National Board of Fire Underwriters was held
to-day at the company s rooms, Nos. 150 and 153
Broadway. There was a very large attendance,
Mr. Henry A. Oakey, President, in the chair.
The Prwident, In bis opening remarks, stated
that owlntr. to the suspension of the active opera
tions of the board during the past year, no re
ports wre to be expected from the various com
mittees, which led him to think that it might
not be inappropriate to present some remarks
on the results not only or the past year, but also
of the years that have elapsed since the necessi
ties of the business led to the foundation of the
beard, lie was glad to state that there are still
a number of places in wnicn the rates esta
blished by the board have been fully main
tained. The chairman entered into a retrospect
o; the condition of the business prior to 1800,
to illustrate .the benefits conferred upon
the business of lire insurance by the for
mation of the National Board, which brought
about among the underwriters of the country a
better acquaintance with each other. The benefit
to the companies who report to the New York
Insurance Department is shown by an increase
In their receipts from 135,409,000, in 1305, to.
a'.,.H53,OUU in lSf.H. The average percentage of
fire losses paid for the last twelve years has been
&8 T1 of the premiums received. The average
expense for management has amounted to 31 per
cent , leaving nearly 11 per cent, as the profits
resulting from the business from 1859 to 1870
amounts to $3U.8?.),145, but the amount paid
lor dividends during the same period was
t-52,yj6,0a4, showing that a very large proportion
of the interest on investments was necessary in
order to meet these dividends, leaving a mode
rale amount as additions to surplus during this
long period. The ability of the companies to
write, which In 18W was Q'iil 3 for every
dollar of loss, was In 1870 only $19m The
aggregate average percentag of premiums re
ceived on each flOO of rhk fell from 93 in
1WJ0-1 to 78 93 in 1870, showing that a good
deal of the prosperity which it took four years
to build up has been dissipated in a single year.
1 be 1'reBldent next relerrcd to the failure of
companies last year, owiug to improper risks
taken, lnsuilicient rates obtained, and hasty
adjustments mado. thereby encouraging illegal
claims. In conclusion he strongly urged the
continuation of the National Board.
The report of the Executive Committee was
next read, which was an echo of the President's
remarks. A committee of five was appointed
to consider both reports with a view to a re
organization of the board.
Ihe 1 roasurer s report was read, by whlcu it
appeared that the receipts and balance from
last year amounted to i1 10,23(1, the incidental
expenses to c.)i, leaving a balance ou nana
of 715.
Olllcers having been elected for the ensuing
year, the board adjourned.
THE 1ULTI210KE SHOEMAKERS.
The Difficulty Itetwccii the Crispins
and
I lie Alaiiiiinciiirrra ltiUaea.
The Baltimore 101 of yesterday says:
The trouble which has existed during the past
week between the manufacturers of boots and
shoes and the Daughters of St. Crispin has been
amicably adjusted, and the women as well as
the men cither resumed work yesterday or will
do so to-day. All the employers yesterday sent
written invitations to the women to resume
their places in the shops, recognizing their right
to lorin the protective association to which ob
jection was at nrat rauea. l ne ivnii?uts ot at.
Crispin, who merely suspended worn until tne
trouble between the women and the employers
bad been adjusted, will of course resume tneir
labors at once. The Order of Knights of St.
Crispin was originally started in the city of
Milwaukee about five years since. The first
lodge of the order was organized in Baltimore in
September, lbiW, and there are now in the city
four lodges, with one in the District of Colum
bia, delegates from the five lodges forming the
Grand Lodge of Maryland.
The order nas rapuuy spreaa tnrougn tne
United (States and the Canadas, and now there
are about four bundred lodges subordinate to
the Grand Lodge of the United States. As a
matter of course, no one can become a member
unless be be a practical shoemaker. The Grand
Lodge recognizes no strikes for wages, all
matters of that kind being left to the subordi
nate or local lodges. There are at present about
SOU Knights oi St. Crispin in Baltimore, and
there are also employed by the various manu
facturers some CfiO women. The Grand Lodge
of the United States of Knights of St. Crispin
having authorized the formation of women's
lodges of the order, under the name of
".Daughters ot t. Crispin," it was tne establish
ment of this adjunct order that aroused the em
ployers in Baltimore, and Involved the Crispins,
who could not work when the women, mainly
fitters, had vacated the manufactories.
Happily, however, the dimcuity seems to nave
been settled. At a meeting of the Daughters of
St. Crispin, held yesterday, invitations were re
celved from the employers, requesting the ladies
to resume work as formerly, the only restriction
being that eacn employer shall regulate nu own
stitching-room, a matter which the Knights of
St. Crispin have never sought to control.
A IH SCAKE.
A Police Court Thought to he Tiimbllug
In I'roiiiluiioiK fciTMiiibliuK of the

The St. Louis Dispatch of a late date has the
following:
For some time past a rumor has prevailed that
the building occupied as .Metropolitan Police
headquarters was not perfectly safe, aud might
at any moment tumble in.
To-day the Police Court was In session, and
the room, which U on the highest floor, was
partially filled vUh the usu.l motley gathering
, of spectators. Vhere was ft fair sprinkling o(
lawyers and pocce otticcrs. Suddenly a rum
bllng sound was beard as of a house caving in.
At once many present became Impressed with
the belief that tWa police headquarters were
about to fall in. A cry was rabed, and ft rush
was male towards the windows, though several
were cool enough to see that there was no dan
ger. For ft few moments the wildest excite
ment and consternation prevailed.
The presiding justice, M. K. Cullen, Esq.,
whose desk Is very clo&e to ft window looking
south, sprang at once out of the window on to
the gravel likt roof of tbe next building. The
distance from the window to the root is about
twelve feet. Judge Cullea, who was already
lame, sprained bis leg near the ankle, and lay
upon the roof unable to rise. When he lamped
some six or eight persons baA. also sprang from
other windows to this same toof, and they at
once aeslsled Jue.e Cullen. A physician was
summoned and lad lers provided, and after great
dilliculty aud serious pala to the sufferer, be
was brought back to the court-room and sent
borne.
The cause ot the mktake was the tumbling in
of ft portion of an old building which stands
upon the brink of the foundations of the lUpub
lican oflice. '
Three of the prisoners in the dock leaped
over the railing, but were recaptured before
they reached the stairs. A general laugU fol
