Thursday Morning, January 24, 1884.
E. H. Jeffries, the recently elect
ed controller of Philadelphia, died of
pleuro-pneuraonia on Monday morning
last. He had just been sworn into
offioo, scarcely entered U|>on the dis
charge of its duties, when he was cut
down. The news of his sudden death
created a profound sensation.
IT is announced that Ex-Goveruur
Hoyt will probably be the next Re
publican candidate for congress in the
' Twelfth district. Well, the Ex-Gov
yeruor, since his divorce from the Came
ron ring, may make a respectable
congressman, provided the divorce is
real and honest and not of the John
Stewart stripe.
IT is said that Congressman Coxe
is about to write a political histsry of
the United States, commencing the
work from the time James Buchanan
assumed Presidential control on the
4th of March, 1857. A careful, truth
ful history of the events transpiring
since tile uaie proposed, of winch n6
one is better prepared or more com
petent to write, will unquestionably
be one of great interest.
Congressman Kkll.m;*;, f Lou
isiana, who is under indictment for
"dark nays" iu connection with the
star-route robbery, it is said, has served
j/f notice on Arthur and other "talesmen
of the Republican persuasion that
they must prevent his conviction, or he
will give them away iu the Louisiana
fraud of 187 U. He can do it, aud the
threat will be ctfective. Kellogg car
ries the key to unlock any amount of
villniiv.

i Gov. Cleveland, of New York,
has pardoned a prisoner out of the
penitentiary serving & sentence of
twenty years. After serving eight
years oi the sentence, the Governor is
satisfied, after thorough examination,
that the uufortuual* man is innocent
of the offense aod that he was con
viclod on a mistaken identity. Kuch
a wrong and violation of justice should
receive the meet generous atonement
on the part of the state.
The Philadelphia Republican man
agement defeated the nomination of
John Hunter for re-election as Re
ceiver of Taxes. The Commitleo of
rO e Hundred has taken him up, aud
it doing so also pledged Mayor King
"unqualified endorsement and hearty
support at the polls." The Democrats
Make their nominations this week,
which will doubtless be Kiug for
Mayor, Hunter lor receiver and Fur
man Hhcppard for city solicitor. This
will make a strong team.
The population of Canada, accord
ing to the cento* of 1881, is 4,334,810.

Of the foreign population 30 per cent,
are Irish, 28 per cent. Scotch and 13

Mr. Edmund's Joko
The Washington i'osf t-ays Senator
' Edmunds loves n joke, and even on so
solemn an occasion u* a joint Repub
lican caucus of Senators nod Kcpre
sentatives his irrepressible humor hud
to find a vent. Hi" wit at that sombre
gathering, to be sure, was not pjituo
meually sciutillunt, but it shonu out j
with a respectable degree of htimoro
sity.
More than one of the brethren pres
ent must have "grinued horribly, a
ghastly smile," when the Vermont
Senator told them that the Republi
can prospects were brighter than they
had been before during the last fifteen
years.
An old proverb says: "It's always !
darkest just before the dawn." Mr.
Edmunds must have becu thinking of
that ancient saw. Seeing tho murky
darkness of the present situation, he j
concludes that Aurora is p'jout to do- i
velop.
Mr. Kdmuuds is too -howl n jKili- ;
tician to take much stock in the j
boasted harmony of his party at this
juncture, for be know# that the har
j mouy, such a" it is, is Iwrn of iudiller- i
encc or despair.
"If it ouly exercises wisdom in .
selecting a candidate.'' says the Sena- !
tor, "the party will succeed." Why
is the Vermont "fountain of wisdom*'
sealed at such a time ? Why doe* not I
the prophet of success name the man ;
who can lead his party on to victory j
\N E learn from the Washington pa
per* that Congressman Springer's com
mittee investigating the Department of
Justice, have unearthed great irregu
larities among the Marshals, to which
the inquires thus far have been limit- .
ed. Brewcrier Carucron ha* been U-,
fore the committee and his testimony
j developed a startling amount of fraud 1
and villany. Mr. (Ralph Ballin, the ;
examiner of Marshal's accounts for
Georgia, Houth Carolina, Alabama,
Mississippi, I Louisiana, Florida, New
York and Pennsylvania, is now giving
i the results of his examinations. lie
i says that in the account" of Fitzsim-
I mons, predecessor of Gen. Ing"tre*t,
a shortage is found of 123,000, that
erronem* charge- amounting to 15,000
were submitted through Gen. Long
street, who is not blamed by tbe ex
aminer as the charge* were made bv
the deputies. One of these deputies,
named Robinson, who also served un
der Fitzsimmons, aud the other named
Crawford, were retained hv Loogstre*!
aftar notice of misconduct, indict
ment* were found against both these
deputies. Robinson was convicted
and sent to the Penitentiary, but
Crawford escaped. Mr. Springer
thinks that the committee can get
through investigating the Marshals
and officials of the Department of
Justice within two or three weeks,
when they will direct their attention
to the expenditures in the star roote
cases. Here will open a rick field ro
wbicb George Bliss and other distia-
Juisbed participants may appear to
i *ad vantage.
MR. MERRICK, of counsel is the
.Star route prosecutions, is very indig
nant at being "associated with George
Bliss in the matter of the expenditure
for counsel fees" in those ewes. lie
declares himself anxious for an inves
tigation and expresses his helicf that
"there is a conspiracy to drive Brewa
ter from the Cabinet." He says to a
Washington reporter:
If they drive Brewster from the
Cabinet and seek to make clear the
political influences which surround
every step of the prosecution, they
will learn something. It will take the
seal from my lips in private and upon
the stamp next summer. I shall have
nothing to say upon the stump against
tbe Administration. It baa been sin
cere, but tbe sins of the prosecution can
be laid upon the Republican party. If
Springer is in earnest in this investi
gation and chooaes to come to me, I
will talk freely. It is time for every
jbody to unmask. They are doing

AiiHWcr to Fair Flay.
I* yearns from an articlci in last week's
. issue of Ibe Grnirt Reparl/r, that at a
, divine service which was held in the
Reformed church of Centre Hall on
New Year's evening, in commemoration
of the 400 th anniversary of the birth of
j Ulric Zwingli, the great Hwias Reformer,
-otue Lutheran brother lost his temper
, because, in an addrees which I delivered
I would not give Luther indiscriminate
■md unmeasured praise; hut dared to
: -ay not only that the several Reformers
were men differently endowed by Divine
: Providence, but also that, whilo in some
. things Luther stood without a rival, he
was excelled by his brother Reformer*
in others. For this, tbi* Lutheran
brother and clerical friend, under cover
of an assumed name, undertakes to
chastise me through the columns of the
(Yntrs Importer, charging me with "being
exceedingly narrow-minded indeed,"
with attempting to "belittle Luther,"
' and calling me "a bigot," "a willful
ecclesiastical trickster," Ac. Of the
very had spirit which the article breathe*
| and of the personal abuse to which my
clerical friend has been willing to sloop,
I will take no notice. Hut it charge*
me with a spirit and temper toward*
! l.uther and the Lutheran chunk, which
I wholly disclaim; represents me a* j
-ay ing thing* which ! did not ssy ; snd
makes dentals and assertion* wbiob
-how much more real than theological
information. To these I feci called
j upon to reply.
1. In tny address I stated that Luther
i m common with all the Reformers was
| predeatinariao. This my clerical
I friend undertakes, strangely enough, to
I deny by saying that accordingto I.ufber
' 'God's decree* are not absolute, but
conditioned by a certain order of
raest.*," But tbis is simply not *o, a
ibis ministerial brother who sets up as ,
an expounder of l.utber's theology, j
ought rno't certainly to know. There
was nothing conditional in Luther'* ■
doctrine. On the contrary, hi* docUm* ■
of | red**titration wtt of the most eafM !
' -a! and absolute character, even t'slvm's |
j being less extreme. He deujed most j
j absolutely the freedom of the human j
will in it* relsitun to the Divine sorer '
! *igoty. nn which freedom everything in
•h conditional theory of predentin*
tion hinges. He taught that if one
man repent* and lel>ev..* under the
preaching ot the gopel and another
does not, this is not due to any differ
• si* in the nsen t hentselves, not to any
gr-ater w ck,.,iii< *s or inward resistance
in the one than 10 the other, but only
slid *t<e>lute|y to the secret will of (rod.
In pi oof of this, r|uotalion* without
r.uini— r might easily be made from his
own writings,especially bis book against
rrssmuioß the' Servitude of the Will •"
hut I will finite other writer* as being
wis satisfaetcry. In the reoent ox
cellent biography of Luther ( Kooat liu's)
written by a Lutheran and translated
by a Lutheran. on page 271, we rami
this statement of Luther's doctrine*
"That sinners do not turn to (tod and
acquire saving faith in bis word oan only
be attributed to a secret will of God.
and fer this raan mav not call God to
account." Kven the smaleald article#
written by Luther himself in the year
1537, and re<-eived by the Lutheran
church into the "Hook of Concord" as a
part of her rnnfaaeionai standard tcache#
this doctrine. Dr. George P. Fisher, of
Tale Theological Seminary. in bis his
lory of the Reformation anys, "Prede*
lination is asserted by Luther in bin
book on the Servitude of the Will,even
in its relation to wickedoeas, in term#
more emphatic than the roost extreme
statements of Calvin." Tha want of
space forbids more quotations. If 1 had
the space 1 would gladly go on quoting
from Luther and other author*, not only
to convince my Lotheran brother that
my address was not mare "declamation,"
but also to give him some little ac
quaintance with Luther's doctrine of
which he seems so woefully ignorant;
but 1 really cannot, in a short newtpa
per article, give him all the theological
information which his course io the
Theological Seminary and year* of pnti,
ent study ought to hara supplied.
2. I am charged with saying that' the
Lutheran church has largely come over
, to the Zwinglinn view of the Lord'a
supper." Rut in fnct, I said nothing
like this. What 1 said is thata number
ol prominent Lutheran Theologians are
beginning to admit that in the inter
protstion of the words of institution,
fix t "Tbi* Is my body," Zwingli w&a in
I Us# right rather Mum Luther, by reasotf
7, , ,*•
- M * I
of the fct that when the saorauent
ws# instituted and our -Saviour spoke
those words, it was impossible that they
should have been literally true. Of
theae men I also named several, such as
Dr. Kthnis of the Leiptic University in
Germany, Dr. Julius Mueller of the
University of Halle, Germany, and Dr.
Meyer, the celebrated commentator.
Than these three, I would ask my friend
to name any more learned or prominent
one* in the Lutheran communion. In
proof of these statements, I refer bim
to I-Jtnge's Commentary on the 24th
chapter of Mntthfw. I also distinctly
added, in order not to be misunderstood'
that these men did not mean or profess
to give up the general truth of Luther's ,
doctrine of the Lord's Supper, but only
that |>art of its Scriptural basis. Thi* i
nll I said, and I am surprised that nn
friend failed to understand, and also
that he does not keep hiuiself better
fsMtfil on these very significant change*
in thi IMUIII ~f hi* own denomination.
And now before dismissing thi* topie, I
must !•• | riinttei| to , a y, tfiat I ran
only rejoice if the Lutheran church
holds fast t< the g, ti, i,(l truth of Luther's
I ss. r.uneiitul j.o-ition ; for my own - bun 1>
i has lie rer adopted and has no sympathy
. with, the somewhat low and < mpty views
of Zwingli. as little as with the soin- >
I wiaat gross and • artial < <>nception- of I
l.uther. And who doe* not know that j
hut a few y. ar* ago. there seemed to l
great danger that the Lutheran chwn h
ID Centre county and some other purl* j
<•1 our country, would not only adopt
/.wingli. but even follow the wild fanati j
' • id t 'arbtadt in preference to the great :
ooirM-rvalive Reformer. Ah! it ts hut '
as if it had been yesterday, when the j
Reformed chin* h w a cried down aiid |
psfwcutel moat freely iy many *o-callc<l ,
Lutherans, because, forsooth, it con
tinned faithfully and persistently "to i
II walk in tin old j-ath* of Llithcr. j
Zwingli. < nh :n and all the Reformers
over against current and (topuler new
| insesuteiu). Yctliifl* are the men iww
J who liaye be> onn so (minus ail at ou-c
! ghil wall Us to v'eovsil ai,d s) I.U
j not honoring the grens LuUwi 'V h
I consistency, th-ai art a jewel."
3. In of Luther's refusal of
I the hand of Zwingli. and of his hatefui
conduct towai*! the hwj. generally, 1
*aid that be did not recognise and make
proje-r account of the distinction l
(si-en "saving faith" and "doctrinal
faith." between that faith which consist
tn a humble, trustful, child like urr"ii
<ler of one's self to a personal S\|.tur.
and that faith which con*il 111 the sc.
< eptance of < ertain ks-tnnal proisai
tions. For this lam told not to have
reel Luther aright. But I not only re
affirm the fact, lan nio* also tell my
friend thai if he had even a smattering
acquaintance with the progress of theo
logic thought in tin* church *in<-c the
Reformation, be would not have com
mitted the ignorant blunder of denying
it. l.uther made #!...luu- doctrinal
agreement th- boundary line of christian
brotherhood. Take the discussion of
the lord's ,Hup|(er a* the Marburg con
fen-nce as an example That ilirist is
supernatural!)' present in the Lord's
Htip|w-r. mul communicates himself
therein to the iH'liever a* the bread of
life, is a Divine promise and a Divine
fact which challenge* my faith. The
denial of thi* would seem not only to
imply inward opposition to Christ' *a\
ing presence and power in the sacra
ment, but would also seem to make it
imjsvssiblc for me to approach the sacra
mental altar in that [nimble expectant
frame c 4 heart <n which it* saving bene
fit defwuds. This, then, is a religious
fact or truth which challenge* my faith,
my heart, the inner man And thi*
Zwingli admitted, as the article* drawn
Up by liimsclf clearly testify.
But what the manner, mode or form of
• 'lirist's presence in the sacrament may
he. whether spiritual only though real
as Zwingli claimed, or bodily also a*
Luther contended, thi* i* a question
which doc* not challenge my faith,
which i* of no practical account for my
inner life, and which, whether answered
by me in one way or the other, does noi
in the least aflect my inward attitude
and l>c<iriu£ lowgrd the sacrament and
through this toward Christ. It i* a .pie*
tion which addresses my intellect, and
in the answer to which the science of
Metaphysics always has, always w ill and
always must play a prominent part. Yet
for answering this nutaphv sical question
erroneously, a* Luther thought, he re
fused to regard Zwingli and his followers
as brethren in Uhrist. For this supposed
error, which is not of faith but of theo
logy, and for this alone he denied that
thev were christians, hated and tw*ne
cuted them M "children of the devil,"
"ten times worse than the papist*." Ac.
This, as even uty critic ought to see. in
volve* a confu*i<>n of faith and doctrine,
and a tyranny over the mind* of others
not a whit heller than what we are ac
customed to hear from Papal Rome.
Want of spare forbids my quoting au
thorities, but if luy friend wishes to
study up thi* subject of which he seem*
to know so little, I refer him to the celc
hrated Dr. Dortier's "History of Protest
ant Theology," and also to a work on
"Christian Dogmatic* by Bishop Mar
