Saint Paul,” the third volume of Renan’s
. • -jfcgte&t work on Christianity, partakes of the
’ merit of setting forth the por
a,?ns of the Bible in new and picturesque vivid
ness. His Jesus, his Magdalen, his Paid, are
| t ! " v Bke'careful figures in a historical novel, the
V legendary facts being: carefully collated, while
M. the effort is strongly made to bring them
i/'ißvingty and in modem freshness before the
~f «ye. It is this rare narrative art which has
f popularized M. Renan and given liis philosophy
• , a. vogue among the masses which. it would
■„ \ otherwise have missed. The “ Saint Paul” is
v filled with those graphic touches of portraiture,
>/ these landscapes of hectic orjental beauty, and
lh delineation of Christian life as a
Jr > generous but effeminate dream, which have
bcconife recognized as‘giving the Kenan accent.
book begins with one of his exquisitely
R C sentimental female dedications, this time to his
B ■' wife,-Cornelia, daughter of Henri and niece of
v Ary Sciieffer, as that of “ Jesus” was to his
sister,“ These constant obeisances to women'
seem to emphasize what Lecky has recently
recognized and pronounced with eloquence, the
feet ,that Christianity imported the feminine
element into morals.
~<| T;he volume opens with a long Introduction,
which is a critical essay on the so-called Epis
ties Sof Paul, the original documents on which
7 ; . thisjportion of. his work is founded. In this
_ ■ preliminary essay the critic occupies himself
the question of authenticity, then
the question of the integrity of the
thirteen canonical Epistles. His decision on
the first point is that Galatians, both Coring
tbians, and Romans, are past doubt; that Tlies
saloliians and Bhilippians, though obnoxious to
objections, are certain; that Colossians and
V Philemon, are, on the whole, probably authen
tic ; 'Tthat Ephesians is doubtfid;' that the
two ‘Epistles to Timothy and the one to
Titus are false. For the integrity of
the text, the theory maintained, and espe-
cially illustrated by a critical analysis of
, . the Epistle to the Romans, so-called, is
:' f that the editors of the final and accepted text
js jof Paul’s letters had, for a general principle, to
\ reject nothing and add nothing—but above all
‘Jo reject' nothing. The common body, then,
ofthe so-called Epistle to the Romans was a
J circular letter, an encyclical letter addressed to
the churches of Ephesus and Thessalonica
principally, but also to the brethren at Rome;
and one or more other places. Local and in
dividual items were adjoined, according as the
'special destination of the general circular.
These specialities were selected and sewed on,
so to speak, to the final edition, by honest edi
tors, more desirous bf saving all Et. Paul’s au
thentic words than of nice literary form. Here
is the explanation of repetitions,and of a saluta
tory phrase, in the midst of the Epistle tothe
Romans, otherwise inexplicable. It is a great
deal to say of Renan that of the Epistles re
cognized by poor unlettered Christianity as the
work of Paul,- he dutifully accepts seven as
genuine; and his novel and ingenious theory
respecting the Epistle to the Romans will com
mand the attention it deserves.
, Renan’s restoration of the figure of Saint
Paul will be less acceptable. He unhesi
tatingly asserts that: “In everything a true
ancestor of Protestantism, Paul has all the
defects of a Protestant.” He does not concede
to St. Panl a superlatively high morale. “He
was not a Saint,” says Renan; “the dominant
trait in his (the Apostle’s) character was not
goodness. He was haughty, stiff, aggressive;
he defended himself, asserted himself; he used
some hard language; he held himself to be
absolutely in the right; lie\ stuck to liis own
opinion; he quarrelled witn various persons.”
And more than this, M. Renan speaks of
■“jealousy” as the basis of his character, and
even attributes to him at times something like
deliberate, misrepresentation. “We may fairly
believe that more than once lie (Paul) at
tributes'to a private revelation that which, he
had learned from his seniors,” quoting, as “ a
remarkable instance,” St. Paul’s statement in
1 Corinthians, xi, 23, as to the words in which
•ur Lord instituted the Communion Service,
where St. Paul says that he has “ received of
the Lord that which I also delivered unto you.”
This is his final judgment on the great Apostle
of the Gentiles:
PAUL’S PLACE IN liELIOIOUS HISTORY..-.-
The first places in tbe kingdom of heaven
are reserved for those whom a ray of grace
has touched, for those who have adored only
the ideal. The man of action is always a weak
artist, for he does not make it his only aim to
reflect the splendor of the universe; he.cannot
he a awcant, for he moulds his opinions' by po
litical utility; he is not even a man of the
highest virtue, for he is never irreproachable,
the folly and wickedness,, of men
forcing him to come to terms with
them. Above all, he is never ■ lovable;
the most charming of the virtues—reserve—is
forbidden him." The world favors the auda
cious, those who help themselves. Paul, so
great, so honorable, is obliged to decree him
self the title of Apostle. One is strong in ac
tion by one’s defects; one is weak by one’s
best qualities. In a word, the historic person
age who has most analogy with St. Paul Is
liUther. In both there is the same violence of
language, the same noble independence, the
same .frenzied attachment to a thesis em
braced as absolute truth.
One of Renan’s harmoniously-tinted land-
Bcape-stixdies embeds Paul in the bosom of
Thessalonica:
PAUL IN TIIESSAI.ONICA.
- From Amphipqlis the apostles, alter leaving
the estuary of the Strymon, took their way be
... .: , tween the sca arid the.moiinteiiL through thick :
woods and fields which advance to the sand on
tbe beach. The fust halting-place, under palm
■y trees near a cold spring which rises from the
sand a few steps from the sea, is a delicious
place. The apostles then entered into the
Auion of Aretliusa, a deep ravine, a. sort of
Sndicular, Bosphorus, which, serves as
; to the waters of tire interior lakes
toward the sea. They passed, probably un
jb i' consciously, by the side of the tomb Euripides.

THE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN—PHIL AD I
not for the hum of the insects, and the singing
of the birds, which, of created being 3, alone re
sist this lassitude, one wopld believe himself in
.the dominion of delath. •; Passing through the
little city of Appollonia, without making, a
halt, Paul skirted the southern shore of the
lakes,and proceeding almost to the depth of the
plain of which they occupied the central depres-,
sion,’ lie arrived at the little chain of heights'
which shut in the Gulf bf Thessalonica on 1 the
east side. Upon reaching the summit of these
hills, Olympus is visible iu the horizon in all
its splendor. The base and the lower portion
of the mountain mingle with the blue sky.
The snows of the summit appear like an
ethereal dwelling-place, suspended in space.
Rut, alas! already was the sacred mountain
devastated. Men had scaled its heights, and
discovered that the gods no longer inhabited it.
When Cicero, froni liis place of exile in Thes
salonica, saw ' these • white summits, lie knew
that there was only snow 1 and rock there.
Paid, without a doubt, had not a thought for
these enchanting places of another race. A
large city whs before ,liim, and his’ experiehce
told him that lie would find there an excellent
basis whereon to found something great.
In the land of Plato, M. Renan believes that
;he new religion had but a mediocre success.
, PACT, AT ATHENS. ; ’
There was a synagogue at Athens, and Paul
spoke there to the Jewsand “ devout” people;
lmt in such a city, synagogue successes
amounted to very little. That brilliant Agora
where so much mind was displayed, • that
Poecile portico where all the questions of the
world were agitated, tempted him. He spoke
there, riot as a preacher addressing the assem-,
bled crowd, but as a stranger, who steals in,
spreads liis ideas timidly, and seeks to create
for himself some basis of action. The success
1 was moderate. “Jesus and the resurrection”
(anastmis) appeared to be strange words, de
void of sense. Several, it appears, took
anastasis for the name of a goddess, and.
thought that Jesus and Anastasia were some
new divine couple, whom these oriental
dreamers had come to preach. Epicurean and
Stoic philosophers, it is said, approached and
listened. ' ,
This fu st contact of Christianity and Greek
philosophy was‘not very friendly. It was
never better seen how men of intelligence
should be careful not to depend upon them
selves, nor scoff at an idea, however ridiculous
it may appeal’ to, them. The had Greek spoken
by Paiil, his incorrect and hesitating enuncia
tion, were not calculated, to gain him credit
in Athens. The philosophers turned- their
backs disdainfully, upon these barbar
ous expressions. “He is a babbler”
(spemotogos), Aaid some.' “He is a setter
forth of strange gods,” said others. Not one
of them imagined that this babbler would one
day supplant them, and that, four hundred and
seventy years after, their professorships would
be suppressed, considered useless and hurtful,
in consequencerof Paul’s preaching. A great
lesson! Proud of their superiority, the
philosophers of Athens disdained the
questions of popular religion. In this
respect Athens almost equaled the
most religious cities of Asia Minor, The aris
tocracy of thinkers cared very little for the.
social wants which made their way through
the covering of so many gross religions. Such
a divorce is always punished. When philoso
phy declares that she will not occupy herself
with religion, religion replies to her by
strangling her. And this is just; for philoso
phy is nothing, unless it points out a path for
humanity,—unless it takes & serious view of
the infinite problem which is the same for all.
• * » ' «■ » *
If the discourse was really pronounced, it
must have in reality caused a vCry singular im
pression upon the cultivated minds wliicli list
ened to it. This language, at times barbar
ous, incorrect, and without .instruction, at
other times full of justness; this unstudied
eloquence, filled with happy hits and disagreea
ble faults; this profound philosophy, border
ing upon strange beliefs, must have seemed to
come from another world. Immensely, supe
rior to the popular religion of Greece, such a
doctrine fell, in manyjrespects, below the, cur
rent philosophy of the century. If, on one
side, it held out a. hand to this philosophy by its
high conception of the Divinity and its moral
unity of the human species, on the other hand
it contained a- portion of supernatural beliefs
which no'positive mind could admit. Atany
rate, it is not surprising it did not succeed in
Athens. The motives which were to make
Christianity successful existed elsewhere tlian
in circles of lettered men. They were in the
hearts of pious women, hi the secret aspirations
of the poor, the slaves and the meek of all
classes. Before philosophy draws near to the
new doctrine, it will be necessary that both
philosophy should become much weakened
and that the new doctrine should .have re
nounced the great chimera of an impending
judgment; that is to say, to the concrete ideas
which were the envelope of its first formation.
"Whether from Paul or from one of his disciples,
this discourse, at any rate, shows us an at
tempt, almost the sole one of the first century,
to conciliate Christianity with philosophy, and
even in one sense with paganism. Affording
proof of a broadness of views very remarkable
in a Jew, the author acknowledges in all races
a sort of interior sense of the divine, a secret
instinct of monotheism, which should have
home them towards the true God. * * * *
But the soil was toe ungrateful. The lively
spirit of tbe Athenians was the contrary of that
religious disposition, tender and deep, which
made conversions and predestined to Chris
tianity. . The really Hellenic lands took hut
slight interest in the doctrine of Jesus. Plu
tarch, living in an atmosphere purely Greek,
has not as yet the slightest breath of it in the
first half of the second century. Patriotism,
attachment to the recollections of tho country,
turned the Greeks away from exotic religions.
“Hellenism” became an organized religion, al
most reasonable, admitting a large part of phi
losophy. The “gods of Greece” seemed to
wish to be humanity’s universal gods. * * * *
Tired with his want of success in Athens,
Paul, without awaiting the return of Timothy,
set out "for Corinth. He had not established
an extensive church at Athens. Only a few
isolated persons, among others a certain Dio
nysius, a member it is said of Areopagus, and
a woman named Damans, had adhered to the
doctrines. This was the first and almost the
only check he met with in his apostolic career.
Even in the’second century, the church of
Athens lacks stability. Athens was one
of the last cities to be converted. Next
to Constantine, it was the second in
opposition to Christianity, a bulwark
of philosophy. By a rare privilege, it kept its
temples undisturbed. These prodigious monu
ments, preserved for ages, thanks to a sort of
instinctive respect, were destined to come down
to us as an eternal lesson of good sense and
honesty given by artists of genius. Still, in
our day, we feel that of Christianity
which covers the old Pagan basis is here very
superficial. There is scarcely need of modify
ing the • actual names of the churches of
Athens in order to discover those of the antique
temples. [Ala VcMili is the Stoa Vasillos, the
church of the twelve apostles, the temple of
tlie twelve gods; Aia Pamsk'eci, the Pom
peion.]
Nothing in the volume is more characteristic
of Renan’s originality and independence, his
irreverence, his ingenuity, his unembarrassed
and disrespectful analysis of sacerdotal acts,-
than the version he gives of Paul’s condescen
sion toward the Christian hierarchy of Jerusa
lem during his last visit to that capital:
PALI. AND THE FOUR MEN WHICH HAD A
VOW AT JERUSALEM. * /
If the elders of Jerusalem were not tilled
with the most contracted opinions, how can
we explain the strange discourse attributed to
them by tlie author of tlie Acts, ami one which
betrays, all tlieir > peri '.axity ? Scarcely had the
return of thanks been concluded, when they
say to Paul: “Do, therefore, this that we say
to tbee: We have four men which have a vow
ion them; Them take, and purify thyself .with
tliem/aifd be at charges with themi, that they,,
may'shave their heads: and all may know that
those (bh)gs,wly.i,e. they lire informed
ing .tliec, Are nothing; but that thou thyself
also ’ waikest orderly and kcepest the law;”
Tlius these shallow minds can Only reply with
language of. to him who brings, them
the homage of a world. Paul will be obliged
to expiate his ■ prodigious conquests by hy
pocrisy. He must give pledges to littleness of
mind! It is when they shall have seen lilm
with four beggars, too poor’fo have their heads
shaved at their own expense, fulfil a popular
superstition, that they will recognize him as
colleague. Such is, the strange condition of
humanity, that we ’ must not he surprised at
such a spectacle.
Men are too numerous for it to be possible
to establish anything here below,,„ without
making concessions to mediocrity, in order
to disregard the scruples of the weak, one
must be either completely disinterested in the
action,tor else very powerful. Those whom
their position obliges them to reckon with the
crowd, are led to demand. singular inconsist
encies from great and dependent men. Every.
vigorously asserted thought is an Incumbrance
in the government of the world. Vindication
and proseiytism, when they imply a little
genius, are suspected things to the conservative
parties. Look at these eloquent laymen who,
in our clay, have attempted to enlarge’ Catho
licism, and to conciliate for -it’the sympathies
of a portion of society, until , then closed
against religious sentiment, what have they
obtained from tlie church to which they brought
crowds of new adherents? A disavowal. The
successors of James Obliam have found it
prudent to condemn them, even while they are
profiting by then’ success. They accepted
then - offerings without thanks. They said to
them, as to Paul, “ Brethren, ye see these
thousands of old believers, who hold to things
which ye pass over in silence; when ye speak
to people of the world take care; put aside
novelties which scandalize, and sanctify your
selves with us.” What will Paul do, placed
between his great principle of the uselessness
of works and the immense interest whicli he
had in not breaking with the church of Jeru
salem ? His position must have been painfid.
Submit '.o a practice which he considered use
less, and almost injurious to Jesus, since it
allowed one to believe that salvation is ob
tained through other things than the merits of
Christ, was to place himself in flagrant contra
diction with the doctrine that he had every
where preached, and which, in his great circu
lar epistle, in particular, he had developed with
such unparalleled force. Why, moreover, do
they ask him to re-establish an antiquated rite,
destitute of all efficacy, and almost a denial of
the new dogma? To show that he is a Jew,
to refute in a peremptory manner the report in
circulation that he has ceased to be a Jew,
that he no longer acknowledged the law or
traditions. Now, most assuredly he did no
longer acknowledge them. Was riot a con
nivance at tills deception an infidelity towards
Christ? All this must have caused Paul to
pause, and agitated him most 'deeply. But a
superior principle which guided his life, led
him to overcome his repugnances. Paul
placed charity above opinions andindividual
sentiments. Christ delivered us from, all law;
but if, by profiting by liberty which Christ lias
given us, We scandalize his brother, it is better
to renounce this liberty pnd give one’s self up
to slavery. It is in virtue of this principle tliat
Paul, as he says himself, became everything to
all men,—a Jew with a Jew, a Gentile with
Gentiles. In accepting the proposition of
James and the elders, he made application of
liis favorite principle. Therefore he submitted.
Never, perhaps, in liis apostolic life, did he
make a greater sacrifice to his work. These
heroes of practical life have other duties.than
the heroes of contemplative life. The first
duty of the latter is to sacrifice their activity to
their idea,—to say all they think, nothing ex
cept what they think, in the exact measure in
which they think it. The first duty of the.
others is,, often, to sacrifice their ideas, at
times even their most fixed principles,!?) to the
interests of the cause which they are seeking to
render triumphant. What they asked Paul,
moreover, was less 'to make himself a
Nazarite, than ,to take upon himself
the ordinary expenses of four Nazantes, who
had nothing wherewith to pay the sacrifices
made upon this kind of occasion. This was a
highly esteemed work.- There were around
the temple multitudes of poor people who had
made vows; and who were waiting till some
rich person should pay for them. “To
have. a Nazarite shorn ” was ail act of piety;
and occasions are quoted in which powerful
personages, by way of thanks for a signal favor
from heaven, had hundreds of them shaven; —
just about as it was meritorious in the Middle
Ages to pay people for making pilgrimages and
entering into monastic institutions. Paul, in
the midst of the misery which existed in the,
church of Jerusalem, was considered wealthy.
They requested Mm to perform the act
of ; a rich devotee, and to prove to all, by
a notorious proceeding, that he had remained
faithful to the practices of his country. James,
much given ' to outward* observances, was
probably the inspirer of this -fantastic idea.
They made haste to add, moreover, that such
obligations in no wise concerned the converted
heathen. It was simply a question of not
allowing credence to be attached to the fright
ful scandal that it was possible for a Jew not"
to practise the law of Closes. So great was the
fanaticism inspired by the law,that such a phe
nomenon would have appeared more extra
ordinary than the ruin of the world and total
overthrow of creation. Paul, therefore, joined
himself to the four beggars. Those who fid
filled such vows began- to purify themselves;
then they entered the temple, then remained
shut up there a certain number of days, ac
cording to tlfo vow which they had made (seven
and thirty days),‘abstained from wine and had
their hair shorn. When the number of days
was passed they offered sacrifices, which they
paid for at rather .a high price. Paul submitted ,
to everything. The day after his visit to James
he went to the temple and inscribed himself
for seven days, then he performed all the cus
tomary rites—a greater man during these days
of humility, in wMch through voluntary weak
ness he fulfilled an act of antiquated devotion
among people in rags, than when ire displayed
the for ce and independence of his genius at
Corinth and Thessalonica.

Pressense’s “Early Years of Christi
anity.”
From E. D. Pressense’s “The Early Years
of Christianity,” translated by Annie Har
wood, and published by Hodder & Stoughton,
London, we borrow a paragraph in which the
critical author takes a direct , issue with those
who magnify the priestly office on the strength
of a comnussibh"derived by" 'direct*' succession
from the Apostles:
We must set aside, first of all, aqy ideas of
sacerdotalism. At the period when the apos
tolic authority wasused with most power in
the Church, the Church still acknowledged the
Jewish priesthood. Besides, Christianity re
cognizes no priesthood but that of Christ,'
communicated, by faith, to the Christain.
The apostles were not the sole organs,of in
! spiration, for the Holy Spirit was promised and
granted to all the disciples assembled in the
upper chamber on the very day of the Lord’s
resurrection. On the day of Pentecost all the
Christians were filled with the Holy
Ghost. In the primitive Church
home private Christians, not in
vested with tlie apostolic office, had more influ
ence than the majority of the apostles. It is
enough to cite tlie names of Stephen, Philip
and .James. In what then consisted the apos
tolic office? Their name of messenger has
UlßPtwuiM jjii'W-ojl
ILPHIA,FRIDAy,
nothing exclusive in it, since all Christians aro
witnesses of Jesus. Christ. Their numbers,
point to the twelves tribes of tho cbosert people.
They clearly do not represent the.prieatly tribe,
but the,twelve tribbs; that is to say, the:people.
of Coil as a whole. In other words, ;thoy are
the nucleus of the Church, so made by, Jesus
.Christ himself. Apostolical succession is not:
then the privilege of a certain poition of the body,
but of the whole; the Christian Church itself
carries on the apostolic office..' * * The apology
of Stephen reveals an important development of
Christian thought. And we owe this develop
ment to a man who is not an apostle, anil who
appears in this crisis superior to the twelve.
We have in this fact an irrefragable proof that
nothing like a monopoly of revelation was'
enjoyed by the apostles. - * It is surely
more honorable to : tlic apostle to suppose the
results to have been wrought by the living power
of their words, than by any outward and ma
terial act—the transmission of some myste
rious, magnetic fluid from their persons. Such
theories are truly derogatory, anil lower the
apostles to the rank ot the magicians, whose
power they were come to destroy.

, PROPOSALS. \
pitOPOSAES EOK MAIL LOCKS.
-i Post o?»i cm Department,,
i l:r. Washington, OctobeflO, 18t!9.
SEALED PROPOSALS for; furnishing
Mail-Lochs and Koys of new kinds, to be sub
stituted* for the Locks and Keys now usedon
ihe United States mails, will bo received at this
Department until 9 o’clock A, M. tlio 3d day of
FEBRUARY, 1870. It is desirable to obtain
.Locks and Keys of a new construction for the
exclusive use of the United States mails, and,
if practicable, invented expressly for that pur
pose. As the oxposure of a model Lock and
Koy to public examination would impair, if
not destroy, Its utility for the mails, tue Do-,
partment prescribes no model for bidders* but
relies-for its selection oh the specimens of
mechanical skill and ingenuity which a fair
competition among - inventors, hereby
invited, may develop. It is suf
ficient to describe tho principal
.requisites of a Mail-Lock, as follows: Self-
Locking uniformity, security, liyhtnem, strength,
durability, novelty of construction and facility of
use. Two kinds of Locks and. Keys; ono of
brass and tho other of iron, different in exte
rior form and interior construction or arrange
ment,, are required; tho Proposals should;
specify .separately the prico of each brass
Lock; each Key for same ; each iron Lock,
, and each Key for same. Duplicate samples or
each kind of Locks and Keys proposed are
required to be submitted with tho Proposals;
ono of each Sample Lock to bo rivetedup and
finished, and another to be open or unriveted,
so that its internal structure and arrangement
may easily be examined. Evory sample should
be plainly marked with the bidder’s name,
and, if the samo or any part of it be covered
by a patent, tho date of such patent and the
name of the patentee must also be attached
thereto. ■> r.
Tho Internal plan or arrangement of tho
Locks offered, and the particular shape of tho
Key requisite to open them, must not bo like
any now or heretofore in use.
They must bo warranted not to infringe
upon or conflict with any patented invention
of which the bidder is not tho patentee. Pre
ference will be given to a Lock, the Key of
which has not been exposed to general obser
vation, or been publicly described, disclosed,
■or suggested.
A decision on the various specimens and
Proposals will he made on or before tho 3d
day of MARCH, 1870 ; and, unless tho Post
master-General shall deem it. to be best for the
interests of the Department to reject all'the
Proposals and specimens submitted under this
advertisement,(a right hereby expressedlv re
served to himl, contracts will.be entered into,
ns soon thereafter as practicable, with the
successful bidder whose Locks shall be
adopted, for furnishing similar Locks and
Keys for four years, as they may be required
and ordered. If mutually agreed to in writing
by the contractor and the Postmaster-
General for the time being, not less
than six months before its expiration,
the contract may bo , extended and
comtinued for an additional term of four
years. But on and alter tho expiration of
either term of the contract, or on and after
its rightful annlment at any time, the Post
master-General, shall bave the right to con
tract with or employ any other party to
furnish the same, or any other kind of
Locks and Keys; and if he shall deem proper,
to demand and receive from the late or de
faulting contractor all finished or unfinished
Keys and the internal parts of the Locks con
tracted for, and all dies, gauges, and designs,
(which would enable others to make or forge
such Locks or Keys), in the possession of such
contractor, who*, their surrender to the
Department, shall be paid for the same,at such
price as may he ascertained by fair appraise
ment. ■
The contractor must agree and be able to
furnish, if required and ordered, 20,000 Brass
Locks and 3,000 Brass Keys within three
months from the time of entering into con
tract, and 80,000 Iron Locks and 00,000 Iron
Keys within ten months from such time. But
the Postmaster-General will reserve the .right
to increase or diminish, as the wants or inter
ests of the service may demand, the quantities
of the Locks and Keys above specified, with
a proportionate allowance of time to furnish
them. ,
Ail the Locks furnished by the contractor
must be warranted to keep fn good working
order for two years in the ordinary use of the
service, when not subjected to obvious vio
lence ; such as become defective witliin that
i time to he replaced with perfect Locks with
out charge. All tho Locks furnished under
contract are to be, each, distinctly marked
“ U. 8. Mail,” in either sunk or raised letters,
and all the Keys are to be numbered iu the
natural order; each Key having its appropri
ate number distinctly stamped upon one side
I of the bow, and “ U.’S. Mail” on the opposite
j side.
I The contractor will he required to deliver
i the Locks at his own expense at the Post-
Oflice Department, Washington, D.C., put up
I on sticks, forming separate bundles of five
j Locks each, and securely packed in wooden
I boxes containing not more 1 than two hundred
; Locks each. The Keys are to tie delivered to
< an agent of the Department,duly and soeciaily
1 authorized in each.ca.se to take charge of and
! convey the same from the contractor’s mauu
factory to the Department, where both Locks
! and Keys are to he inspected andapproved be
! fore they shall be paid for.
| The contractor will bo required*to give bond,
I with ample security, in the sum of fifty thou
! saiid dollars, to be forfeited to the United
j States as liquidated'damages, in case of /his
i failuro to 'faithfully perform the contract,
| either as to furnishing the supplies ordered
’ within a reasonable time, or as to guarding
j> the manufacture of the Mail Locks and Keys
with due privacy, integrity and care.
| No Proposal will, therefore, ho accepted if
, not accompanied with a bond Of the penal
sum of Twenty Thousand Dollars, duly exe
; ented by the proposed sureties (whose respon
i sibillty must he certified by a Judge of a Court
orßeCoM'ffeat'eSt tO their place of residence,
! attested by the Clerk of suen Court under the
j seal thereof), and conditioned for their becom
ing responsible as sureties on the required
bond for tho fulfillment of the contract, in case
such Proposals shall be accented.. The manu
facture of Mail Locks and Keys is, of neces
sity, a highly important anu delicate trust
which the Department will confide to no bidder
! whose Proposals are not also accompanied
j with testimonials, of good character. .
In deciding on the Proposals and Specimens
the PostmasterUcperal may deem it expedi
ent to select the Bra&s Lock of ono bidder and
the Iron Lock of another. He, therefore, re
serves tho right ot contracting with dillerent
individuals ior such different kinds of Locks
as he may select. „ „ , , , .
Proposals should be carefully sealed and ad
dressed to the “Second Assistant Postmaster-
General,” and endorsed on the envelop e“Pro
posals for Mail Locks.” „„^ D „ rT ,r T

Arml or an Organised Clangor Connie r
frltero -or Tobacco Ntamp*.
N kw York, Nov. 4.—Colonel >Vliitely, of
the United States Secret Service ..Division, and
his detectives, have succeeded ■in cap
turing a gang of counterfeiters, regu
larly ~ organised for-" ’the purpose of
manufacturing/ and selling counterfeit
tobacCo stamps,,securities and money. It is
said that many persons—in good standing in
this city,.,Virginia, and North Carolina—are
compromised. The detectives captured a
large "quantity of bogus stamps, &c.
/On October 15 a somewhat notorious
/ character, named Yolney Wright, was arrested,
charged with having attempted to sell a large _
quantity of sixty-pound tobacco stamps. lie'
was quietly taken before Commissioner Os
borne and held in $B,OOO to await the action
of the grand jury, the facts of his arrest being
carefully concealed, lest publication • should
warn his Confederates. These stamps. are of
the finest execution, and even good officials,
who have examined them, are unable to de
lect their worthlessness. The bed piece,
roll,* and plate, witii six transfers, were se
cured. The investigations were continued,and
resulted in the discovery, as is alleged, that
llart Pierce, of No. 39 Nassau street, was a
member of the gang. Pierce is an acconi
plished engraver, a native of this city, and
thirty-eight years of age. It being evident that
more important individuals were behind Pierce,
a watch was set at his door, which led to the ,
discovery that Colonel Robert Clark, who dur
ing the war commanded the Fourteenth New
York Volunteers, and whose military reputa
tion was good, was a constant visitor of Pierce.«
. Clark occupied a suite of rooms at No. 130
East Seventeenth street. On October 30
. Whitley made a descent on Pierce’s quarters,
and seized all the dies and machinery used in
■ counterfeiting, among which was a costly press
for transferring. After the seizure of the
premises, Clark came -in and was arrested, and
in examining his apartments abundant evi
dences of his guilt were found. One valise
contained a plate for sixty dies for
making one-ceut stamps, a large quan
tity of 210-pound stamps, together with about
$15,000 of dean genuine stamps.
Further inquiries discovered that these
stamps were printed at Prince’s Bay, and a
sufficient force was sent there, who surrounded
a little hut'on the beach, in which they arrested
John liipon, an Englishman, a steel and cop
per-plate printer, William S. Kempton, of
Maine, and Itipon's wife. .A search of the
premises discovered a large amount of paper
such as is used by the Government in the
manufacture of revenue stamps, a large quan
tity of inks, oils, and other materials used in
counterfeiting, dies for making tliree-cent silver
pieces, steel dies for stamping coin, etc., but no
plates, or finished work. ■
Finally, Ripon divulged the fact that plates,
etc., were buried in his garden, and a box was
dug up which contained a plate on which had
been transferred the ©ne-cent revenue stamps,
the bed piece, and' transferring die, a laige
number of stamps), thousands of printed
sheets, and other articles. The prisoners and
material were brought to this city, and the*'
forgers taken to the United States Marshal’s
office, where they were held in custody.
It was now ascertained that an engraver,
named Carpentejj, haying an office at No. 11
Bloomfield street, Boston, had been employed
to engrave United States five-twenty bonds for
this gang. Wliitely despatched two men to •
Boston on Monday evening. On their ar
rival they called to their assistance Wood and
Heath, detectives of that city. On Tues
day morning the four entered Carpenter’s
establishment and arrested him while em
ployed in engraving a pass on the Wilmington
and Baltimore Railroad. Immediately after
bis arrest be surrendered to the officers a $1,095
five-twenty bond, which Ire had been employed
to engrave by a man in New York city, who
was in the last stage of consumption.
It is believed that several hundred thousand
dollars of these stamps have been put in circu
lation, and it is alleged that numerous other
prominent persons in this city are under sur
veillance, whose arrest sufficient evidence liar
not yet been obtained to warrant.
SEW JERSEY MATTERS.
Tin; Lessons or, Tuesday.— -The lessons
which the election oii Tuesday in Camden
county is calculated to teach are important.
Thfey indicate a wide-spread Feeling-among
trug, Republicans,—those who are unwilling: to
permit themselves to be led astray from their
party fealty by the influences of discontented
politicians,— to double their efforts for success
at the next general State election. There are
always some weak-kneed persons in all parties,
who, on the eve of an election," are tampered
witli by the friends of opposing candidates. With
the Democracy this is expected; but with honest
Republicans it should be looked upon with
scorn and contempt. If there be any now in
.our ranks who have heretofore- been silly
pnougli to be seduced by Democratic premises
and patronage in consideration for their votes,
they should be .made to realize the folly of
such conduct, by such efforts and purposes as
will educate them to true and uncompromising
devotion to. Republican prinfeiples before the
.next election comes arouiid. The conse
quences which depend upon the next election
are sufiiciently important to justify an early
commencement of this educating policy, and
it is best to. look the -questions of the
hour squarely in t lie face. Those men who
may have, heretofore, become prejudiced
against certain measures advocated by the Re
publican party, through wrong information,
misrepresentation, or inability to comprehend
their true meaning, should be placed in pos
session of such lacts as will completely dis
abuse their minds from the erroneous impres
sions upon which they have acted. Had this
been done in the Third Assembly District of
Camden county previous to the last election,
it would have saved Mr.. Kirkbride, the
Republican candidate, from being de
feated. But, basing a calculation upon
the majority received in Monroe township in
1808 of one hundred and two for Grant, the
people Were pretty much left to the manipula
ting powers of the Democracy,and tlieirpeCii
liar style of putting the. “nigger questioTv“ as
they termed it, reduced the majority to fifteen
on Tuesday last. Mr.' Kirkbride was only
forty-nine votes behind Ms opponent, and that
too in' the townships which usually give Demo
cratic majorities. Had Monroe township
come fully up to her duty in proportion to the
others, the Republicans would have gained a
victory by at least thirty or tMrty-five majority,
instead of being defeated by that much.
This, however, is but another instance in wMch
a too implicit confidence in past success has
proved fatal. "Work, persistent and unceasing
work, alone can meet with effective results.
Nojv.ihat the next Legislature of New Jersey
Stands just as it did the year before Hon. A.
G. Cattell was chosen to’ the United States
Senate, it behooves every Republican to work,
with earnestness to bring it back to the condi
tion it was when that gentleman was elected—’
with the* exception we do not want any James
M.Scovels there—so that liemay he returned to
that body in 1871. The choice of a United
States Senator will be the incentive to prompt
to vigorous, exertion in both parties, but an
early campaign and the right kind of logic can
scarcely fail to give a Republican victory.
Dkeis. —lt is reported that these animals,
are becoming quite plentifnl in some
thickly wooded sections of West and South
Jersey. The salutary effects of thejaw passed
by the Legislature for the past teii or twelve
years, have had the tendency.to cause them to
increase gradually. But.-their numbers had
run down to a pretty low' figure, and it will be
several years before'they will bea>me suffi
cienUy numerous to allow- them to "be killed.
In fact, none of them shouM be destroyed for
ten or twelve years longer. They are a per
fectly, harmless animal, and the woods they
frequent are large and .dense enough to hold
thousands and thousands of them. They
could thus be propagated and made to con
tribute to the actual necessities of man, in
stead of being an object to kill for his gratifi
cation.
MOW THEY LIQUIFY THE BLOOD OF
SAS UENNABO.
Mr. Henry Dircks, C. E., contributor to the
Atltencewu, suggests a solution of the Naples
Miracle, to the fallowing effect. Referring to
a correspondent’s description in the Times of
28th September, he observes:
We thus learn that this alleged miracle dates
back fifteen centuries, during which period it
has never failed of success in its operation, or
in its support of superstitious belief iu the
genuineness' of its- character. Also we obtain
the clearest possible conception of the external
appearance of the reliquary and its two in
closed, bottles, one containing some dark-co
lored “opaque" substance, which, in six
minutes or thereabouts, passes from a solid to
a liquid state, after “incessant reversing" of the
reliquary by the operating priest. Now it does
appear to me that a Very moderate share of
chemical and mechanical knowledge will serve
to dissipate this ancient mystery, and for ever
destroy its hold on any other than the most ig
norant and superstitious of mankind.
Chemically considered, the.so-called “blood"
is most likely nothing more Jlpn an alcoholic
solution of‘dry, haTa' sjapv colored by-mcans"
of burnt oils or dragon's blood, carmine or
Jfther pigment. The experiment of dissolving
%oap in. spirits of wine, heated in a Florence
flask, is easily made, and*, the solution may be
brought to any required state of fluidity, after
which it may be pom-ed into a small bottle
made of thin Bohemian glass, and.hennetieally
sealed.
The mechanical arrangements require the
bottle to be of a size to he inclosed within a
metal hoop, two inches broad, which is fitted
with circular plate-glass on each side. This
hoop should have soldered .to it a “shank
tube,” about two inches iu diameter, witii a
circular opening in the metal hoop communi
cating with the tube, and over, which the bot
tom MUie bottle is to be firmly attached with
any insoluble Cement. Supposing the “ shank
tube” to be six or nine inches long, provide a
second tube of somewhat less length, and about
one-half its diameter—say one inch, made of
copper. This short tube must be closed at
the bottom, and have a screw plug at the top,
and should ■ be neatly and firmly wrapped
round with woolen cloth, as a non-conducting
material, until its diameter is just sufficient to
allow of its being easily thrust up the “ shank
tube,” at the bottom end of which there should
be a spring plug, or other simple contrivance,
to retain the copper tube in its situation. This
small woolen-coated tube is to be filled with
boiling hot water, or, for a higher temperature,
with heated oil. -
The alcoholic, solution of soap, when cold, is
solid, but easily liquifies—first appearing a vis
cid substance, “seeming to move altogether,”
even “asif it were in a skin or bladder.”
And the heat, when only applied below, its
circulation may be promoted by continually
tf turning round and round” any vessel con
taining it. This composition has every requi
site in favor of its keeping sound and good.for
an indefinite period; and, iu use, the modus
operand/ could easily be kept secret by con
fiding it to never more than two priests. The
insertion and removal of the liquid heater is
one of such easy mechanical contrivance that
the slightest practice would render its correct
performance unfailing; and indeed, by having
two suclrheaters, one could be allowed to re
main in the “shank tube” until the next
“ feast-day’-’ required its removal and substitu
tion.
