THE Secretary of the National Ite-
Tubliftn Committee has issued a IA I
for a. Meeting of the Committee in
Washington (in the 11th of . January
next. At this session it will be deci
ded where the next National Con-
vention shall,be held to nominate a
candidate for. the Presidency. -4.11
infortnal canvass of the preference of
the members of the Cotntuittei
seems to indicate - that New York city
will he chosen. The choice lies
between that city and Cincinnati.
Tim amount of aid to Chicago from
foreign countries is much greater than
could have Win anticipated. Indeed,
almost every part of the civilized
work Seems to be anxious to do its
share for the relief of the devastated
city. Montreal has sent $102,000 in
gold, and the rest ofCanada probably
as much more. From Havana comes
a contribution of dyer $lO ,0i)0 in gold.
The contributions in - Great Britain
must have exceeded one hundred
thousand pounds ora half million
dollars in gold. Germany, Belgium,
Switzerland, France and other coun
tries hive all contributed according
to their means, and it may be fairly
estimated that the whole amount
given by foreigners will reach a
million of dollars. This is a hand
sotne return for all that America has
done for foreign countries that have
suffered' from tire, war, pestilence and
famine.
Tim New Brighton Press reiter
ates its charge that we did the memo
ry of the late Dr. Stanton injustice
while referring to the causes which
produced his death. It also insinu
ates now that we were unfriendly to
him during the latter part of his li!e 1
and what we said touching his Oa
death was instigated by malice,i Ae
-
we do not choose to rest undimpu-
cations of so unworthy a i eharacter,
we are necessarily obliged to refer to
this unpleasant inat3 r eiigain. What
we did say at the Julie of Dr. Stan
ton's death was ! this: that he had in
jected a larpr, 'quantity of morphia
into his arorthan his reduced system
was ablg:fo bear. We said this,then;
we so — it now. Others may think
ditrerently: They are entitled to their
Jiello4, and we ate entitled to ours.
~• We based our conviction' on what
we heard the morning succeeding his
death, and ,on the fact that after tak
ing, the drug he fell into a sleep from
which he never awoke. If more
than this were needed we can quote
the testimony of his physicians who
state that he fell "a victim to his pro
fessional devotion, and to the remedy
(morphia) he had so often succe&iful-
ly wed to relieve the sufferings of
his felloW-men:" No person's abuse!'
therefore will cause us to lay aside this
conviction ; nor will theutterances of
those who think as we do, but talk
differently induce us to follow their
exatople.
If, then, we have shown by Dr.
Stanton's physicians that he " fell a
victim" to morphia, it follows as a
Matter of course that he injected
more of the drug into lus.arin than
" his reduded system was able to
bear." Whether he did this "care
lessly," or whether be did It ignor
antly, we leave the Press to deter
mine. It'can take which horn of the
diletmtia , -it chooses. It occurs to us,
howev.er, that if .Dr. Stanton could
rise Erorti,bis grave, his first excla
mation would be: "Save me from my
otheious friends!
As to there being any ill-feeling on
our part toward Dr, Stanton previ
ous to his death, we have only to say
that it is false from beginning to end .
No mart everheard us say an unkind
word of itr. Stanton; or speak in any

WONDERFUL GOLD STRIKE
Rock Vteldinz $63,140 to the
Ton.
(From the Calavenas C hrutarni,N ovvniber SUL.'
Developments have recently been
made at the (iwin mine lti Lower
Rich Gulch unparalleled in the his
tory of quartz operations in this State.
A strata of rock has been discovered
in.the main shaft at the depth of 400
feet that, for richness eclipses tiny
thing of which weever heard or read.
The strangest feature in the develop
ment is, however, that the rock re
titacovorcd. cityirrA7 acvoua
bias the slate of which the walls of
the lead are composed it has hereto
fore been taken out and thrown away
with other debris from the mine.
The strata mentioned lies next to the
foot wall and is about a foot in width
and thickness. In color and forma
tion it so nearly resembles state that
it. equire; a close examination to dit , -
tinguish the two from, each other.
The inclination o the "streak" dif
fers slightly from that of the shaft.
Commencing at a point near the sur
face, it crosses the latter diagonally,
leaving the shaft at the CAM foot level.
Oy "drifting" a short distance on the
lead, however, from the 000 foot
100, the strata will undoubtedly be
struck again.
TUF. ISFAWST MIXI.DIVNT
In the world it was discovered that
this singular deposit, instead of being
slate, was simply a mass of sulphur
ets, carrying free gold in abundance.
A portion of the rock was brought to
this town and critically 'ft. , -Isayeti by
Dr. James Hepburn. Two and one
half ounces yielded one hundred and
sixty-six grains of gold; or, le other
words, at the rate $53,140 per ton!
The rock assayed was not a selected I
. ."specimen" It was broken from a l
chunk at least a foot square and is
considered a fair test of the irichness
of the whole strata. The proprietors
of the mine are sanguine that they
will take .$200.000 out of the recently
discovered "streak," between the
WO loot level and the, surface. In
fact, Should this strata prove to be
one of the permanent component
parts of the had, as it undoubtedly
will, there is no calculating the
amount of gold that will he taken
from it. If ore of equal richness has
ever before been found, there is no
record of it. The Gwin mine must
now certainly be classed as the most
valuable in the State, and further
than that, in less shan a year it will
boast more extensive machinery
than any other lead upon the coast.
We shall await further developments
in reference to the newly diseoveiled
,strata with impatience.

from the time of Clement,- the first.
apostolic Church Father, down taro' '
the, suwessive writings of the Greek
and Boman Fathers- to the twelfth
century, and I. find that however
meet) they may have differed in re
gard to the disposition , of the soul afs
ter death, yet not a syllable occurs,
fairly interpreted, expressive of their
belief of the materiality of the soul.
Concerning the materialistic opinions
of Hermogenes and the Arabians, 1.
shall say more in the sequel? We
find, also, that subsequent Christian
writers down to thesixtdeuth centu
rtherexpresslY or impliedly avow
- t r bell-P-f_rothei immortality of the
sou.
The sect which . originated from
Faustus Sacinui, who died in 1604,
was the first professedly Christian
Church which made the materiality
of the soul a' constituent part of its
creed in association with the denial
of the deity of Christ and the doctrine
of vicarious atonement. Early in the
eighteenth century Dr. Coward, a
medical and metaphysical writer,
propagated similar Uoctrrnesin'what
he allied his "tirand
.Essay." This'
was followed by DodwelPs "Episto.
lary Discourse;" in which he at
tempts to prove from the Scriptures
and the first Fathers that the soul is
naturally uicirtal, but capable of be
ing iniortalized at the pleasure of
God. Afterwards Dr.. Bartley, in
his " Essay on Mini," discussed the
same subject and referred ail our sen
tient faculties to the laws of animal
organization, lielvetios, who died
in 1771,—whose book Voltaire, the
infidel eulogizes. and mills its :au thor
a true philosopher,—and La Methe
rie, avow more decidedly, but yet
like their predecessors with wore or
less caution, their disbelief in the im
mortality of the soul. Dr. Priestly,
who died in 1804, followed In the
wake of Dr. Hartley and W. Law,
and by the adoption of their senti
ments identified himself, in, the esti
mation of his c ontemporaries, with
those who inculcate infidel and even
atheistic sentiments. Thu foregoing
names and a few men of minor note,
all included in recent times, make the
sum total of professedly Christian
writers who have denied the immor
tality of the soul, and based upon the
denial their exegesis of the sacred
Scriptures ; and it may be claimed
That the uniform exegesis, of the
Chifrch Fathers is all inconsistent
with the inevitable inferences which
flow from the theory of materialism,
among which is the doctrine of Phi
losophical NeCell3l as Odymited by
Hohb, Collins, livaue, Leibnitz,
Krilins. Belsham, Priestly and oth
ers. The ne c essarians, otherwise ma
terialists, enrol that our actions are
the neces. , :ary result of uncontrollable
cause and effect, and that our most
indifferent actions are as necessary as
the most important. Who does not
see that thelendency of materialism
is to charge GO as the author of sin?
That freedom -ofthe will is a farce !
That sin, morality, virtue and ac
countability, have no significant* I—
"Who are the infidels?"
Those five hundred names of which
Homo boasts woud, doubtless, be
available to prove the doctrine of
Purgatory, if human authority suffi
ced; or to show that diversity of °pin
len prevailed as to the disposition of
the soul after death, like his Citations
from Justin Martyr and others; but
cannot, without flagrant injustice to
the be claimed as advocates
of materialism. •
This dearth of advocacy of his .''pet
theory" he unwittingly acknowl
edges when he says : "fhe Fathers
uniformly speak as if they had no
philosophy stoat the elementaryam
atitnents of the human constitution."

Another form of the same controver
sy asserts that all souls were created
at the beginning and await the hour
,of coneeptaon to unite with an or

Immediate Creationism affirms a
direct creation' of the soul by God; a
special creation for a special organ

heavensay "
." This was the
view of Lanetantioaanda number of
the Fathers.
The theory of Traducianism is,
that the parents are the mediateßaukt
of both body and soul of their off
spring, referringes to Gen. v. 3; Acts
xvii. 24-2 U. This view is defended
by many.of the Fathers ; especially
'rertullian. Athenasius and Gregory
of Nissen.
The soul, then; Its a separate and
distinct entity, was an ackpowledgcsi
and undonbted part of the faith of the
Church before the disorganizing
r , e tremor of modern rationalistic phi
losophy attempted to vitiate the:Am
ple teachingS of the word of God.--
The question which then claimed at
tention was-not the chimera of the
materialism of thesoul, but the man
ner or its propagation; concerning
which, as we have seen, several the
ories existed.
Home, again, Shows his want of
discrimination by confounding the
. HypnologistS with the views of the
materialistsi or ilationists• ; the
former did not deny the immortality
of the soul. They admitted the es
sential distinction between body and
soul, but supposed that. their separa
tion in death rendered the soul inca
pable of exercising Its functions. This
suspension of its active -powers, they
called the sleep of the soul. Calvin,
therefore, in his attack on' the Soul-
Sleepers, had no reference to the ma
terialists, such as Ilomo, who coo
'alders the sleep of the soul an absur
dity, inasmuch as his Creed auk now l
edges no 'soul to deli). I was not,
therefore, prepared to hear that Cal
vin's.amuments were .'weak and so
, phlstiol" when directed against a
position denied by Homo himself.—
Moreover, Homo affirms that, "from
Calvin's time the doctrine of the no-
mortgilliLpf the soul and its depen-
Vines. d.,...bAuw 15....slatallaz &un l it
le Y into the several Protestant
n etsions."This declaration strong
ly intimates, yea, implies that the
doctrine of. the immortality of the
soul formed no part of Christian ta le .
ology' prior to the time of Calvin.—
This is an unwarranted assumption
In disguised phraseology, requiring
no refutation from the intelligent
reader; but I may observe that the
very fact that Calvin's efforts were
directed against the soul-sleepers and
not against the materialists, proves
that the soul's immortality was not
denied by the Church in general, and
not denied by those against whom he
wrote—hence. Calvin s influence was
not necessary to establish a doctrine
almost everywhere recognized.
The sleep of the soul is one thing—
its extinction in death is quite anoth
er thing. What do you think of the
logic which declares that the same
argument which is supposed to be
"feeble and sophistical." when ap
plied to disprove the sleep of the soul
(the existence of which is implied)
has also it logical reference and ap
plicability to the aim-existence of the
soul? Such a mode of reasoning is
equivalent to saying that, bemuse the
soul does sleep after death, therefore
the soul does not exist. Here we
have another ''man of straw," or an
air castle, if you please, which the
prolific though evidently disordered
imagination of Homo has conjured
up. In one place he identities Hyp
noiogists with materialists—in an
other, ho confounds the denial of the
immortality of the soul with the de
nial of the instantaneous translation
of the soul into the immortal pres
ence of God. And, in, another place,
he represents Sir Thomas More as
censuring Luther with the danger
ous consequences resulting- from his
belief in the immortality of the soul;
but almost with the same breath he
claims Luther as an advocate of ma
terialism and as denouncing Pope
Leo X on account of his advocacy of
the immortality of the soul. All this
is evinced in the professed citations
from ecclesiastical history ; and yet
his obtuse mind fails to perceive the
obvious discrepencies. Is there not
a decided monomaniac tendency in
all he has written on his "pet subject?
and do not his mental manifestations
call for compassion rather than cen
sure?
I now appeal to the sober common
sense - of the reader whether Homo,
in his attempted exegesis of Scrip
ture, has not done violence to every
plain principle of interpretation ?-
-Are not his conclusions in plain con
flict with the analogy of faith ? By
Homo's mode of interpretation one
Can prove either nothing or anyt hing

A novel marriage ceremony took
place in Pittsburgh a few days since,
It being no less than the solemniza
tion of a marriage by proxy bet Ween
a Spanish nobleman named Fernan
dez De Paminez and a youeg lady of
that city, named Ledia Addison,
daughter of Dr. Addison. The proxy
In the ease was the brother of the
bride, Mr, William Addison. The
document -conferring the powers of
acting as "proxy"' for Mr. D. Oami
nez- was qUite a balky one,
propeily
attested, and ornamented with the
proper seals and signatures. A re
porter of the Post interviewed the
bishop who performed - the ceremo
ny, from whom he obtained a state
ment of the ecclesiastical law bearing
on this novel and altogether un-Am
erican way of "uniting two wilting
hearts." The reporter asked the
bishop if marriage according to the
Catholic church did not involve the
necessity of both parties being pres
ent. to which that functionary' re
plied :
"Not ata 11. Mtirriage in the Catho
church is both a civil contract and a
sacrament. The main idea in, sth
Is the consent of the emtrsacti r '
ties. The docuMentary evi fence,
properly' ttested;settles it as far as
a civil contract IS concerned. As a
sacrament, the grace inhering in the
sacrament, is received by Mr. De
Gatninez who is, morally present,
and Otk whom alone the sacrament
and contract are binding. The mar
riage is bona fide, and as complete- a
finality as 'though the actual con
tracting party were physically pres
ent." The inqUlSitive reporter .then
wanted to 'know if such ceremony
was legal in this country. On this
point the bishop was not so certain,
but thought it depended on different
laws in different countries."
—Four ladies of Cialtburg, Ifilnois,
who were out collecting for the Chi

who facetiously remarked that he
had a patch of potatoes, and "if they
were a mind to dig them up, they
could have all they wanted." Nut
at all daunted the ladies got some
tools, went to work And dug twenty
bushels that afternoon, and next day
finished the patch."
