RELIGIO US TOLERA TIOX A T WABSA W. Rev. J. X. Stallings, Editor Brief Men- tion. We see that some writers in some of the religious papers of the State are criticising quite sharply the Star for the article it wrote upon the in stallation of Northrop, a Romish prelate, to be Bishop of North Care Una. We read the article with a great deal of interest. And, except the references to the Romish oli garchy and her officials by the names which she and they arrogate to them selves, which weunderstooil to be entirely conventional and prompted by politeness, we saw nothing at all objectionable. The article has been sharply criti cised because the editor commanded the learning and eloquence of Messrs. Gibbons and Keane and their manner of delivering their addresses. Now, every one who read the article must know that the Star was right upon that point. There can be no true eloquence with manuscript before the speaker. It is really strange that one cannot give an opinion upon a point of that kind without being ar raigned as favoring the monstrosities of the dreadful Beast, as Rome con fessedly is. Again, the opinion that these men proclaimed the gospel is more severe ly condemned, and the editor of the Star arraigned as ignorant, and as a new convert to Romanism. We certainly did not so understand him. Some of the Romish doc trines are 'eminently sound. No loubt the speakers selected such portions as all evangelical Protest ants belie ve,and Mr. Kingsbury, who is a-Baptist, and Mr. Bernard, who is an Episcopalian, could well say they preached the pure gospel, with out in any sense indorsing the Hein ous doctrines and practices of the Man of Sin. We did not understand our contemporary to commend Ro manism at all, but in giving an ac count of a passing occurrence to in dorse what it thought true in manner and matter. Surely a jonrnahst may commend anything he sees deserv ing, if it does come from those with whom he wholly ditfei's m other things, without being iected to such sharp criticism. take it that our contemporary is as strongly opposed to the Romish sys tem as its critics or the writer of this article. We write this not to defend the Star, which is amply able to defend itself ; but to express our own views. We believe in a just, broad and liberal spirit in dealing with all questions especially those of religions kind. It is simply ri diculous to hold out the idea that Romanism can ever predominate in this country. Protestantism, by which we mean all evangelical reli gious creeds opposed to Romanism, increases more than ten times more rapidly than Romanism. SO UTHERJTEMS.

The Louisiana Supreme Court has rendered a decision that all the work of the New Orleans criminal conrt since the new constitution was adopted in 1879, in cluding the convictions of some murderers who have been hanged, is invalid because the law requires all cases to be allotted be tween the two judges by hazard, while nothing of the kind has been done. Mr. P. LV Etue, Kansas City; Mo. , one of the proprietors of the Commercial Indica tor, says he knows the St. Jacobs Oil to be a most valuable remedy for rheumatism. Last winter Mr. Etue says he had this dis ease in his left shoulder. The pain was ex cessive at times, and so severe while attacks lasted as to cause a strong desire ta have it speedily eradicated. After vainly resorting to several remedies for relief, without suc cess, he at last hit upon the Great German Remedy. He experienced decided and im mediate relief from its use, and was en tirely cured with the fourth application. Since thea he has entertained a very high respect for the curative powers of the Oil. This respect it not at all lessened by its; happy action in the case of his wife, who subsequently suffered with inflammatory rheumatism. She contracted the disease while visiting i Colorado. Upon arriving home the St. Jacobs Oil was used,4n ,CD junrtfcnrwith prescriptions for Internal adr ministration. and materially aided in her restoration to health.
