{SOCIAL MORALS INNEW YORK,
“What is a Christian?"
The trial just closing. of McFarland
for the murder of Richard:on, the se.
ducer of hiswife,snysthe New York Ob.
server, has made some revelations, pe-
culiar and startling. It has brought
to pnblic observation and remark a
state of social morals and habits, and
a tone of sentiment in some quarters,
that few, even of the well-informed,
believed to exist in the heart of a
Christain community, It was known
to some that the free love school had
among its pupils and friends many
literary vagabonds, male and female,
hangers on upon the skirts of the press
and society, who get a precarious liv-
ing by their wits, and send what they
get upon their lusts, But this trial of
McFarland has unearthed a state or
alarming than been imagined hitherto,
We cannot doubt that it will be o
corpus, and yet now, by mere brute
force and violence, without the faint-
est color of law and without the least
pretense of necessity, General Terry,
in Georgia, approves the ruffian be-
havior of hissubordinate, and tells him
in 80 many words: “You will not per-
mit the prisoner to be produced in court,
or admitted to bal, until decision in the
premises is rendered at these headquar-
ters.” The writ sued out in behalf of
the kidnapped Georgian, has aecor-
dingly been denied. On Wednesday
Mr. Beck offered a resolution in the
lower House of Congress, to inquire of
General Grant the authority of this
procedure, whereupon Mr. Shanks ob-
jects, and the radieal majority, by sus-
taing that objection, stifles the call. So
it has come to this, that the days of the
Meade denomination, when men were
put in a sweat box at Fort Pulaski, to
torture them into giving evidence
against other men, have returned to
It is rumored that Grant thinks the
State 1s to make it a permament mili-
tary province. Just as the reconstruc-
tion sore is healing this man and his
backers in the louse tear open the
ulcer, infuse into it new venom, and
irritate all its pestilent humors anew.
More than this, to enter the State of
Georgia in time of profound peace, and
drag a citizen before a military com
masson for his life, is a direct insult
and menace to every one in the United
States. It revives the worst days of
the “little bell,” and betokens a lawless
and ungovernable temper in the ad-
ministration which threatens, if not
checked, to do, at perhaps no very dis-
tant day, in the North, what in now
does in the South.—N. Y. World.

Then and Now.
In no department of civilized life is
the advancement made during the past
hundred years more striking than in
traveling conveyances. Here is an
advertisement printed in the Weekly
Mercury, in 1759, which shows how
our great-grandfathers traveled from
New York to Philadelphia in co'onial
times;
“The Philadelphia Stage Wagon
and the New York Stage Boat perform
their stages twice a week. John Bat.
ler, with his wagon, sets out on Mon-
day from his house, at the sign of the
death of the fox in Strawberry alley,
aud drives the same day to Trenton
Ferry, when Francis Holman meets
him, and proceeds on Tuesday to Bruns.
wick, and the passengers and goods
being shifted into the wagon of Isaac
Fitzrandolph, he takes them to the
New Blazing Star to Jacob Fitzran-
dolph’s the same day, where Rubin
Fitzrandolph, with a boat well suited,
will receive them and take them to
New York that night. John Butler
returning to Philadelphia on Tuesday
with the passengers and goods deliver-
ed to him by Francis Holman, will
again set out for Trenton Ferry on
Thursday, and Francis Holman, de.
will carry his passengers and goods,
with the same expedition as above, to
New York.
“During the last thirty or forty
ears great changes and improvements
Jive also taken place in the facilities
of travel in this section of the country.
Some of our York readers will remem-
ber when a two horse stage, three times
a week, carried the passengers between
York and Philadelphia, and the inter-
mediate towns, starting from the old
“Black Horse Tavern,” which stood
where the store and dwelling house of
Mr. Jacob Stair now stands, at two o’-
clock in the afternoon, and reaching
Lancaster the same evening. The next
morning, at four o’clock, the passen-
gers took a four horse stage at Lancas-
ter and arrived at Philadelphia late in
the afternoon. Before the railroad was
completed to Baltimore, a stage left
York, early in the morning, six times
a week, for Baltimore, the passengers
dining at Wise’s “Half Way House,”
and reaching that city the same even-
ing. These two lines of stages were
ample for the accommodation of all
passengers between York and these
two cities, and rarely were crowded.
Now, we have four daily trains to Phil-
ad:lphia, and six to Balin making
the time to the former city five hours,
and to the latter two hours and a half
to three hours. “Wonderful, the swaps
and changes.”
The distance, by turnpike, from
York to Philadelphia is eighty-five

the advanced leaders of social seform,
who are also, and at the same time,
undermining the whole social fabric,
make a city worse than Mormondom,
and equal in depravity to Sodom and
Gomorrah,
We recently copied into this paper
extracts from two letters written hy
women of respectable connections and
position, insisting that the wife should
abandon her husband and become an
actress on the stage. This trial has
brought these letters to the public eye,

that the Indeperdent's idea of “what
is a Christian” is it not the Gospel idea,
that it rejects the very gist and mar-
essentials of Christianity only what a
Deist or a Unitarian or Universalist
consistently hold. Now this McFar
land trial discloses the Independent's
views of morality to be as defective as
its ideas of Christianity. When press-
ed to define its theological position,
the independent copied the whole of
our blessed Saviours sermon on the
mount and triumphantly, said “That
is our creed.” In that sermon occur
these words:
“It hath been said, Whosoever shall
put away his wife, let him give her a
writing of divorcement. But I say
unto you. That whosoever shall put
away his wife, saving for cause of for-
pication, causeth her to commit adul-
tery, and whosoever shall marry her
that is divorced, commiteth adultery.
It will be remembered that at the
time of the killing of Richardson, and
when the Astor House ante-mortem
marriage was prepetrated, we called at-
tention to the utterances of the Inde:
pendent. Its teaching on the subject
of marriage and divorce was abhor-
rant to our ideas of Christian morality.
These were some of its words :
“To chain two human beings fast to
each other's side, 4Zainst the perpetu
al protest of galled and wounded hu-
man nature, is an offence at which an-
gels weep. The great, indifferent pub-
lic have no right to say, either on the
basis of any statute law, or on the still
deeper basis of any supposed religious
tenet, that any two indwiduals man and
woman, shall live together as husband
and wife, against the protest of their own
individual souls, Derived from what-
ever source, based on whatever founda
tion, sanctioned by whatever tradition,
such a legalized tyranny is unworthy
ofa Christian civilization, shamefully
preverts the fundamental teaching of
Christianity, and destroys the sacred
claim of religion to the reverence of
mankind.
Now, compare those lines with the
verse from the Sermon on the Mount,
above : the Sermon is the Independent’s
creed, the passage just quoted is its
practical application. This is its idea
of morality. But the trial of McFar-
land has thrown additional light npon
the subject. Oliver Johnson, one of
the editors of the Independent, was put
upon the stand as a witness for the
prosecution. In his cross-examindtion,
the following disclosures were made:
Q. Have ycu written anything
about this case in favor of Richardson
and disparaging to the prisoner. A.
I have written some articles in the In-
dependent and some for the Times.
. How soon after the occurrence
did you write the article in the Inde-
pendent? A. Perhaps a week.
They were advocating the cause
of Mr. Richardson? A. They were
not.
Q. Which side were they on? A.
They were not intended to side either
way.
Q. But which way did they sido?

“INDEPENDENT” Orricr, )
New York, 29th August, 1866. |
My Dear Mrs. McFarland : Pardon
me; I have been at home more than a
week, and my promise to send you the
| Hardshell sermons has not been fulfill-
ed. You will find them, however in
the sume envelope with this note, and
[ trust they will be blest to your spir-
itual comfort and edification.— They
have been the means of converting a
great many sinners of whom you are
“the chief among ten thousand and
one altogether lovely ;” and “of such
is the kingdom of heaven.”
Before this reaches you, Mrs. John-
son will leay» Shelburne, but I am sure
she will never cease to remember with
pleasure the summer spent there with
you. Certainly I am not likely to for-
| get the few bright days that I spent
| there.
| I trust you will ere long come back
| to New York, amd that I may not un-
| frequently see the light of your coun-
| tenance. Yours cordially,
Oriver JouNsox,
The examination then proceeded :
Q. Was Mes McFariand writing
for the Independent at the time you
| wrote this letter? A. She was.
Q. Had she been for a long time?
A. Not long ; she was not correspond.
| ent, but wrote articles for the children's
| department.
| By the Court—She was so writing at
| the time you addressed this letter to
| her? A. Yes, sir.
Mrs. Calhoun was one of the writers
| on the Tribune; and the married wo-
{ man whom Mrs. Calhoun entreated to
| leave her husband, and who did so and
| became an acterss, was writing for the
| Children’s Department of the Indepen-
dent: and Oliver Johnson, its mana-
ging editor, was telling her that she is
the “chi f among”—out we will not
report his words.. The Cvmmercial
Advertiser puts it in these words,
“We here have the managing editor
of a self proclaimed religious paper in-
dulging in the most blasphemous Jan-
guage, and applying to a woman who
was heartless, if nothing more, the
scriptural term applied to Christ, We
have nothing to do with the religious
tenets of any one. We protest, how-
ever, against men who boldly disavow
their disbelief in holy writ claiming to
edit religious journals, and under this
guise corrupting the foundations of
morality and religion.
And this is the morality, is it that
comes of rejecting all creeds and ta-
king the Sermon on the mount as the
Confession of faith? Would to God
they would hear theSavior s words and
keep them, If they would walk in the
ways of his commandments and teach
men so, they would not be exposed, as
now. Butthey show, ashasbeenshown
a thousand times before, that there is
a logical connection between faith and
and practice; that the inner life of this
whole set of reformers is what might
be expected of their rejection of the vi-
tal doctrines of the Gospel.
Fanaticism is heat without light.—
These philosophers and reformers have
heat, but they have shut their eyes to
the lignt. Some of them profess to be
pious: all claim to be virtuous: but
they call evil good and good evil. So
the Mormans claim to be holy, and the
Oneida cammunists to Be perfect. But
their righteousness is of filthy rags:
very filthy, and virtue shrinks from
their touch with unspeakable loathing.
Have we made our point plain?
We do not propose a narrow creed and
affirm that you must hold our creed
or you cannot be a Christian.—We lay
the Bible, and the Bible only; but it
must be the whole Bible ; not two chap-
ters, nor three, nor four; not a sermon
of precepts, nor an epistle of doctrines ;
but the full Gospel, the core of which
is the atoning sacrifice of Christ. And
we hold that the rejection of the dis-
tinctive doctrines of the Gospel by the
Independent, and the school it repre-
sents, is essentially the" rejection of
Christianity. We find the proof of it
in its views of marriage contrasted
with the ‘Sermon on the Mount” we
find proof ot it also in Oliver Johnson's
letter to that erring women whom, with
a levity shocking to every instinct of a
Christian, he addresses as “chief
among ten thousand and one altogeth-
er lovely.”

blanched fice amd trembiing lip, gave
a signal on the }ife line below. For
an instant there came no response, and
the face of that brother seemed to turn
to marble ; but then he saw quick mo
tions from the submarine station, anid
knew it was the welcome signal ot “all
right,” and then Lougee turned to the
men at the wheel, who came so near
sending both below, mrt simply said :
—“Jy only brother's life depeuds up-
on your efforts in keeping that pump
constantly wr wotion-—stop asain’ at
your peril.” The calin face #iaf pis
sionate eye told those men not to stop
again, and with Lieutenant Tanner
close by they kept at work until stop-
ped by order from Lounges. :
Meanwhile, while we ere on deck
of that “sand pan,” counting the tedi-
ous moments which lengthened to half
an hour, Charley Lou gee was searching
the Oneida at the trensendous depth
mentioned. At last came the signal
“surface” and instantly the life line
was put in motion. Slowly came the
coiling hemp und fulter or deck, and
at last, away iu the deep blue waves,
came in sight the diver, shrouded and
panoplied in wierd garments. As he
came to the surface Ive reached Minis-
ter De Long a sword amd « lacquered
box, and then was his hekaet lovsed,
and our purey crowded around to hear
of the gallant ship. Ampug our par-
Oneida —Among them were William
Crowninshield; Captain Clu k, Master
Yates and Dr, James Studdard, who
were intensely excited to learn the ti-
dings. :
Said the diver © “The Witter for fhe
first seventy feet was quite clear, as
the sun gave excellent light, and al-
though my supply of wr was once
choked for an instant, F reached the
deck of the ship just astern of the miz

“The gubs and = armbmeit, except
one, are all in place aft; but I did not

ment in the rigging” Turning to
Crowninshield, he saul: “Your evi:

that it will be impracticable to raise
the ship, but that the splendid battery,

the Government sees proper,
By this survey the testimony of the
living is verificl, and the memory of
the dead without a stain, for the posi-
tion of the ship as found, and the posi-
tion of both the Qaeda and Bombay
as testified to by the navigating officers,
shows that it was impossible for the
captain of the Bombay to have ever
geen the red light'of the Queida; and
that the order to “Port your helm,”
by Captain Eyre, was wrong, and the
“Starboard, hard-u.starboard” of Mas-
ter Yates was right.
