To the Editor of the Londe% Times—Sut : It
_IIIIS occurred to me that the Pope has fallen
Into a perplexity from which his infallibility
twinot extricate him. In his first letter he in
vited 11r, Pr otestants to "avail ourselves of the
(Ecumenical Coupsi.l." In his second letter,
in reply to my oiler to accept the invitatio •
en condition that 'should have a hearing in
defence of those great truths which he so un
sparingly condemned in his apostolical letter
to non-Catholics, he writes that he did not
"invite us to a discussion of errors already
colideinned.".' . ' . •
~,. But on reflection he seems to • think he has
gone - too far; and has shut the door in our'
faces too hastily. Ho therefore sends a third
...',' lettpf in which he explains his meaping, so
t ~ variously interpreted by hiS own people as
. I well as by us heretics. but in this, leis latest
-. explanation, he has either misjudged IL9 or has
'., been Misled by his • informants. • He says :•
!"We - tiow learn that some of those who dis
-4..
..-
sent from our faith have so understood our
. - swords as t 6 believe that no way 18 loft open to
••:' them of making known the difficulties which
' keep - them separated . from the Catholic
Church." •
1 I beg to assure him that as far as my means
41:d information reach, no such impreSsion ex
,
fists and that "wise and prudent men" aro as
:111ccessible to' us in England as in Italy." What
,Z,:' "'priest or prelate in the Propaganda or in the
,' , 4lpproaehing Council can be named superior
,„, I , Dr. Newman in acuteness of intellect, in
~.
t,.. gical power; or varied information? .He is
- always ready to receive applicants for instruc
tion. Why, therefore, undertake ajourney to
, • ilotne in order to obtain what can be had
~f ully as well by a three hours' ride to Burning.;
/ciam ? Can •it be said that an incli
',tido] prelate can be less fallible
tinder the shadow of St. Peter's, in which the
• Council is assembled, than in the oratory of
- Vt. Philip Neri, in Birmingham in which Dr.
".,: Newman presides? Does infal libility radiate
.:-. from the Council or discussions carried on out
side ? The assembling of the General Council
. tri the opportunity of which the Pope invites
' is to avail ourselves. What is the special and
'rare advantage 'promised us on our availing
ourselves of it in the way the Pope points
out to us in his last letter? Were we allowed
to :make our statements to the Council
and receive. its judicial sentence on the
merits of that statinnent, the Pope might
then inform us that an infallible „judgment
had been given, and therefore he might sum
mon us to rush into his fatherly arms and be
reconciled. Were he ta band me over to
.Archbishop Manning
. as one of "the wise,
prudent and eminent men" there 'attending
the' Council, in what respect would Arch
bishop Manning in Rome exceed Archbishop
. Manning in No. 8 York-place, London ?
What celestial and inspiring qualities will
be In the air of Rime on - Dec.8,1869, which do
not exist bathe atmosphere of London Nov.
17,1869. ,
Besides, if the Popo is to be proclaimed by
the Council as personally infallible, would it
not be better for me to wait till after this de
cision and thon,to request an audience and
hear—what he can then give—an infallible
judgment? The infallible Council will have
separated, but the infallible Pope will remain.
I refuse to "avail myself of the opportunity"
of 'anything short of an infallible Council or
au infallib le Pope. lam denied the former
shall Ibe honoredwith the latter ? One need
notgo to Rome for "prudent and eminent
• 'Meg:" They can he had at home. •
But where is the infallible Council? Where
shall I hear an infallible Pope? There is not
now, and there never was, such a phenome
non on earth. The Pope pronounces our doc
trines to be errors condemned already. This
is the very . subject on which I want to give
and.receive information. By whom are these
doctrines condemned and branded as or
fors? I deny the competency of the last
General Council . held at Trent •to pro
nounce these doctrines ,to be errors„ I main
tain, and am ready to prove that this tribu
* nal Itself was a gigantic error. The whole
of that book which Protestants and Roman
Catholics equally accept as divine is an ap
peal to the conscience and private judgment
of the laity. Its epistles are addressed to lay
men, and the , lay Christians of Galatia are
told by the inspired Apostle "If we or any
angel from heaven preach to you any other
gospel, let him be anathema." These lay
Christians could theretore, in the exercise of
private judgment, say what, was and what
was not the truth. Rome has silenced the
conscience and extinguished the light of in
tellect, and her Popes and Councils, in
the midnight that follows, call light darkness
and darkness.light. It is the title deeds of the
tribunal that I can prove to be forgeries.
Thereby it will be seen that these " errors con
demned" by Popes and Synods are eternal
truths, bearing on their brows the signature
and the superscription of Heaven, and that
the dogmas they have substituted for them are
_ no more the truths of Heaven than the gas
lights on our streets are the stars in the sky.
I am, Sir, your obedient servant,

CITY BULLETIN.
THE SHIPPING INTERESTEL—The COMMA
tee appointed by Congress to inquireinto and
report upon the decline of the shippinm b inter ,
ests of the country, held a meeting in. the of
fice of the Surveyor of the Port, in the Cus
tom House building,this morning,.Hon. John
Lynch Chairman, presiding.
Mr. Francis R. Cope; of a committee ap
pointed by the Commercial Exchange Associ
ation, first' made a statement. Ho attributed
the reason why a fair competition cannot 'be
carried on between Amer Man and • foreign
vessels to either the first cost of construc
tion and equipment or the expenses of
sailing. Iron vessels can be built in
England cheaper than they can iu the United
States. After once equipped and on the sea,
all vessels receive the same rates from foreign
ports to the United States. The amount of
wages paid .United
crews appeared to be another'
difficulty. American seamen received $l5 per
month some ten or fifteen years ago, and at
the same time British sailors received .E 2 10s.
"At the present tinie - Anierieans receive $3O
per month, and British seamen but :E2• Ms.
The high tariff, it was claimed, made wages
high, and this was one of the main causes of
- difficulty. If it was possible to discharge a
crew shipped in this country upon arriving in a
foreign port and then reship the men, the rate
of wages would be lower, as it .is always that
prevailing in the port of shipment. If the
tariflis lowered it would remedy the evil, and
the resumption of specie payments might
lessen it., as the rates of wages depend more or
less upon the -fluctuating . value of our cur
rency. A reduction of the duty on iron will
not remedy the matter, as it would not affect
• the rate of wages.
Mr. Henry R. Edmonds, a representative of
the Shipowners' Association,
was next ex
amined. His !Association, he said, is more
particularly interested in the coasting trade.
Ho spoke of the increased cost of vessels, and
attributed it to the tax which is now imposed
upon nearly everything used in construc
tion. Upon au iron vessel of a
thousand tons • the tax aniounts to
:F.20,000. England remits the tax to the
owner and the builder, and if this plan was
pursued in this ceuntry, shippers would pre
fer to build here, although, even then, vessels
could not be constructed so cheaply here.
fl'he United States Government does not sub
sidize any vessels, while on the contrary, in
Great Britain, every line which applies is
subsidized, and therefore our mails have to be
intrusted to foreign bottoms. The half-pilot
age tax is also very onerous on our commerce,
and the Ship Owners' Association has taken
measures to test its constitutionality. .
Mr. Philip Fitzpatrick,. a ship-builder, was
next heard. He expressed the opiniorithat
the remission ef the citifies on the articles used
in the construction Of. vessels will enifble
American builders to compete more success
fully with foreign builders. Commerce would
also be materially assisted if ship'sstores were
taken in bond, as is done in Great Britain.
The expense of ship-building would be re
• duced about 20 per cent. by the remission of
the duties on articles used in the construction
of vessels; ,
Mr. If. R. Cope remarked that a vessel be
longing to his firm, had been repaired i n Liver
, pool. Upon its return to this country he had
au estimate .made-and found that the cost of
the same work in this country Would have
been one-third snore; although the Amber
used in the, repairs would have had to be
taken from this country to England. ,
Mr. Henry Wilmot, of the Beard of Trade
Committee, declared that the introduction of
steam vessels is, one of the main causes ofthe
decline in the American 'shipping int crests.
American sailing ships' formerly had the
pnyfereno 4 in cotsequenes of their unsex
- , 4 T"
.
passed sailing qualities, but tbe odlitig' ves
sels' have been superseded by the, steam ves
sels,introduced principally' by Ragland. Pro
tection to American industry ought to be ex
tended over the shipping interest, as well as
any other, but it Must be done in it different
way;
Mr. Henry B. Tatham, reprosentin . g the
Board of-Trade; presented to the Committee
a number of EngliSh documents, which he
. aid would materially aid iu the consideration
of the subject.
Mr. Charles H. Cranip, ship-builder, con
sidered that England excelled in the 'construc
tion Ofiniarine origines, , and said that While
the English patterned after the Americans in
modelling vessels, the Americans copied the
models of the English marine engines. , The
cost of Wilding the iron-dads in the. Navy
Yard bad been more than it would in•private
establishments.. England has discovered `this'
•fact, and 90 per cent. of her iron-dads aro
built in private yards, notwithstanding the
great extent of her own Navy Yards, He
• believed that iron vessel's aro vastly 'superior
to wooden ones, but iron ship-building in
this country is in its infancy arid builders re
quire aid it some form. The appointment of
worlenien in the navy yard on account of
politics was spoken of as greatly demoralizing
business at:private yards. The eight-hour
system has alsolad a bad effect, and he con
sidered it a great farce, as none of the men
devoted the hours afforded them for recrea,
most dn to that purpose. - The of the men
With whom he had talked are opposed to
this measure, and its repeal will be highly
beneficial to the building interests.. Mr.
Cramp conaidered "the American mechanics
far superior to the foreign workmen, and he
believed that if taxes on articles used in con-,
struction are abolished, Americans will be
able to compete successfully with 'foreigners,
notwithstanding the high rate of wages of the
workmen. In regard to the iron used in ship
building, ho preferred that of this country,.as
it was far better than English iron, and much
easier to get.
Mr. Lewis C. Medara, Captain J. S. Clark,
John W. Everman, Esq., and others, also ex
pressed their views on the subject under con
sideration.
GENERAL SICNOH OF THE REFORMED
CHURCH OF THE 'UNITED STATER.—The
morning session of this body was opened with
religious services conducted by Rev. Bejamin
Bouseman.
The Committee on Contested Seats pre
sented their report. The former Treasurer
was requested to hand over to the present
Treasurer whatever bonds he might have be
longing to the Synod, and the present Trea
surer was requested to pay over to the former
Treasurer the balance due him.
The minority report of the Committee on
Contested Seats was then taken up, when the
following 'resolution was offered by Rev. Mr.
Neilmire:
That inasmuch as the credentials of both sets of dele
gates of the lowa Closets cannot bo regarded valid ac
cording to the testimony beard, therefore,
Resolved,-That neither sets of delegates be admitted to
a Peat in this Synod ; and further,
Resolved, That all the Clash' assemble at Wheatland,
lowa, on the second Thursday of April, 1870, to elect
their officers and transact their regular business.
The amendment was discussed at great
length, the discussion being engaged in by
Rev. Mr. Neilmire, Rev. Dr. Mann, Rev. Mr.
Lake. It was contended by many that the
delegates of the lowa Classic were entitled to
their seats. Rev. Dr. Kieffer urged the Synod
to decide which of the delegates had a right
to a seat.
Rev. Dr. Nevin moved that the whole sub
ject be laid on the table for the , present, in
order to allow time for another matter of more
importance (the future organization of the
body). Agreed to.
Rev. Dr. Nevin thought the organization
was not working now satisfactorily. Re
moved that the committee appointed to con
sider the subject now come to an end, that
they may bring in a resolution looking to the
reconstruction of the body in a more satisfac
tory form.
Rev. Dr. Bomberger was not fully prepared
for this step, and hoped that the matter pro
posed would not be urged.
The Rev. Dr. Nevin took opposite ground,
and urged the consideration of the matter
proposed. • •
Rev. Dr. Miller also, urged the consider
ation of the subject.
A motion made to lay Dr. Nevin's motion
on the table was lost. The subject was then
'debated at great length.
Rev. Dr. Bomberger wished to know what
better organization than that now in existence
could be proposed. He could not see that any
better order of things could be instituted for
the government of the Reformed Church.
Reg. Dr. Nevin then offered the following as
a mollification of the former resolution :
Resolved, Thilt the special committee to whom was re
ferred the action of the Danville Synod, on the organi-.
zation of General Synod, be instructed to recommend a
movement looking to a reconstruction of the existing or
ganization of the church, as far as the General Synod is
concerned, with the view to bring about an organization
under some new and better form,
The resolution was not agreed to.
Rev. Dr. Huniphries, delegate from the
Presbyterian Church, was introduced to the
Synod, and congratulated the body on the late
reunion of the Old and New School bodies of
the Presbyterian Church.
The President of the Synod replied to his
remarks, welcoming him to the Synod, and
congratulating him on the union of his Church
to which reference had been made.
Dr. Gerhart hoped be would 'bear back to
his Church the kind feelings of the Synod of
the Reformed Church.
CAUTION TO DUCK-SHOOTERS.—It is well
for sportsmen and market-gunners from this
city who have been in the habit of evading
the strict game laws of Maryland, to observe
that those laws are now being strictly en
forced. The Baltimore detectives have been
instructed to look after persons shooting
ducks from the water, contrary to law, and
they have already made several important
arrests.' On Thursday last Detectives Pontier
and Mitchell arrested twe men,named George
W. Chamberlain and ;lathes Hollel t both from
Havre de Grace, on the charge of violating
the various sections of Article 98 of the Code
of Public General Laws of that State, by being
found in the vicinity of Carroll's Island,
about four miles from the mouth of the Gun
powder river, under circumstances indi
cating that they had been engaged in pro
curing ducks. They wore provided with a
sloop, two small boats; one large pivet gun,
weighing one hUndred pounds, loaded, two
double-barreled duck guns, two hundred decoy
ducks, twenty-live pounds of powder, a large
quantity of shot, as also seven dead ducks,
the result of their shooting the previous even
ing. They were taken before justice Dorsey,
of Baltimore county, having his office at Can
ton, who imposed the penalty of s!iO and costs
on each of the accused, and in default of pay
ment committed them to Towsontown jail,
The sloop and boats, with all the other arti
cles, were, in accordance with the law, con
fiscated.
OMELETTE A LA CARTE.-At Tenth and
Shippen streets there is t grocery store. This
morning the proprietor had on the curbstone
a barrel of eggs, a barrel of apples, and a kit
of mackerel. A coal cart which was being
driven along the passenger railway was turned
out in front of the store, to make way for a
ear. The wheels slipped into the gutter and
the rear of the cart swept away the things on
the curbstone. The eggs tumbled into the
gutter, and, of course, were smasbed. The
apples and mackerel were scattered around
among the eggs, and the result was the forma
tion of a huge omelette, with ingredients
somewhat ditierent from what are generally
used by ifirst,class cooks. The storekeeper
rushed out, but as the accident was so eggstra
ordinary he couldn't see eggs-adtly how it had
happened, and the war of words which ensued
between him and the unfortunate cart-driver
created considerable eggsitcment.
;JUVENILE FIRE RUNNERS.—Vhe Mayor,
this niorning, instructed the Lieutenants of
Police to place their reserve force along the
principal streets during alarms of tire, for the
purpose of arresting all boys found running
with the lire apparatus. It was also ordered that
all idlers shall be excluded from the ground in
the vicinity of fires.
Tim BnlnGEs.—The Schuylkill
Harbor , Police have been directed to take
charge of the Wire Bridge and the bridges at
Chestnut and Market streets. Policemen are
to be stationed on those bridges all night
Fotnin OrEN.—During last night the Fifth
District Police found 'fourteen houses un
fastened ; the Sixth District had thirteen, and
the Tenth District, ten.
Sworn; IN.—T. S. Holloway and Jos. R. Prit
-ner were sworn in this morning• as Constables
