THE GIFTED CELEBTIAL DISCUBBEB CON FUCIANISM, BUDDHISM AND CHRIS TIANITY—AN ELABOKATE AND BCHOLARLY REVIEW OF RELIG IOUS PRINCIPLES. Philapelphia Times, Bth] oiu# to the ruin storm, but n sm ill uu lienee greeted tne heathei orator, Woug Oiiiti Foo, who lee tared u Uouoert Hull lust eveiiimt. upon “rue great religious of Chin, ani Japan, and ooutrusted Confu ciuuisiu and Buddhism with Chris tianity. His E ltrlish is tluent auo forcible, and without any foreign ae oeut. Hi wore the eosmtu > of a “red-button” mandarin, as China bestows that title upon all bet learne.l men, thedegreoof prodeien cy being iulieated iiy the inimbei and color of the buttons. On tin platform sat his college in ite, Mouug Bap-win. His listeners were pleased with nis graceful mi l eas. manners that after tiie leeture the> crowded around the rostrum t- ■ shake hands with him, an operation adverse to Cuinese customs, but. t-> which ne sociably submttte 1. Th ■ following are extracts from tho dis course: Lilies and Gentlemen: I rejoice very much, this evening, to feel • • free to express to you sentiments which, if presented in otlier lands, would, I fear, excite a great deal <>i prejudice for themselves; but we ar. iu oue of the greatest countries ol the world, and where meu can freel\ and fully express their ideas. L-tu reason together u,>u one of tile in >* important subjects of the lime. Tlie e are more than live hue ired million of ieo|>l*‘ who have never heard the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Now according to your scriptures, wh n is to be done with all these: 1 Is it p.issi ble for a great an i merciful Oil t.. care for one portion of tne human family ami neglect tile otlier.' I c .ul see nothing reasonable or just in God’s sending three-fourths of the human lace to hell for no other rea son than the difference between thei; holiest convictions and those of the rest of men. Gid ha given to the various nations a way t" salvation tilting their respective |>e culiar needs. A prevalent idea in this country lamat a loss to know how it originated—is, that the Bunn ese and Chinese have no prop er idea of a Supreme Being. Why, before Germ my or France or England knew the art of civil living when their people were clad like the wild Indians of the Wes —then China und Hindoostan were as highly civilized as they am to-day. They knew tho art of printing, and thousands of years ago some of the most useful instruments of modern times were invented by them. Is ii possible that such people could bow down to wood and stone, and no know the difference betweeu the Cre ator and His creatures ? I admit we have images. I lately saw au intelli gent gentleman kneel before a cross I did not disturb him, knowing that he was communing with his God. When he arose I asked: "Why do you kneel to a cross of wood instead of to God ?” He told tne that that cross represented the sufferings of the Bird Jesus Christ, and recalled to him the whole Bible; he did not rev erence the wood as wood, but as a sacred memorial. In our temples we have images to remind us of God’s greatness and the more readily to in spire fear und humility in our hearts. We, like you, have the Ten Commandments of Go 1 ; but we have not your first command ment, because the Chinese, unlike tbe Jews to whom vours was given on Sinai, never fell into idolatry. Aud yet the Jews were in direct com munication with God. Here are ours: First, thou shalt not kill the small est creature; second, thou shall not steal; third, thou shalt not infringe the laws of chastity: fourth, thou shalt. not lie; tifth. thou shalt not calmninate: sixth, thou shalt, riot re venge injuries; seventh, thou shall not excite quarrels; eighth, honor thy father aud mother; ninth, tire serve faith in the Holy Writings; tenth, believe in immortality. The golden rule of Confucius is the same as thegreatChristian commandment, except, like everything else in China, which is on the opposite side of the earth, you know, it reads backward, thus: “Whatsoever you would that men should not do to you, do you not to them.” The Christian religion would not take in China; neither would Confucianism in this country— especially our rule: “Grieve not be cause thou art not promoted to high offices.” You live in order to do well; we live in order to lire well, loving our fellow man, practicing morality, never thinking of death till the hour comes, and when it does come, if our lives have been good, we are iirejiared. People believe the Chinese O ivern ment tne most tyrannical in the world; that tho Einiieror has sole control over the lives of his subjects. It la not so. The Emperor cannot break ourlaws, and they protect the natural rights of ull men. If, after a rule of three years, the head of a city d.ies not improve his [km,pie in mor ality aud intelligence, he cannot be promoted, and if a School teacher during the same period, make a sim ilar failure with nis nupils, he loses his ixisition. In China we n-ver knew slavery until of late years when Bpain, Portugal aDd Itajv carried off our coolies and itttle children to sell them in the West Indies and else where. Trane back the history of China for' four thousand years, and THE DAILY TIMES. lavery will not lie found on its •ages. Tlieie all men are equal, as hey are here; nut we distinguish be •veeu tbe ignorant and Intelligent. teaming is so highly regarded in Hina that a man with a blue but on ii his cup can travel all over tin ouutry without a penny in his poek t, ami when he passes all mus, -land aside and respect him as • ne from whom they have ■something moral and intel •M'tual to leant: for no seminary iu ■ hiiia dare issue a diploma to a man f known immorality. The moral is msidered far above the intellectual i making this distinction we obey loiifucius, who says we should associ te with none who are uo> equally iii •lligent. with ourselves, lest we be unedogruded to their rank. The treat doctor also says; “Let the pub icschools be carefully maintained; uni let children be early instructeo u morals.” As the |>areiitßgive birili oour bodies, so we believe, oursehool eachers give birili to souls. Many •ay that we have no religion, bu mly moral principle. Iu our opin on, moral principle is religion. L’o -how the similarity of the Bu lilhis sith tho Cnristiuu religion I will cad an extract: * Dieoraclecommon led Vishnu to become a man au I b •oru iu tlie city of M ura, or Bu Idlia Vishnu replied "I will become mcai - iate in tlie house of Sulic, and wl, ssucs forth to mortal birili from tin •omb of Devnoi (a virgin!.

Can ve not infer, therefore, that man. by .allowing such principles as these, nay inherit the king tom of heaven .' vVnat is iCliristiau? It I understand, it is to he like Christ. Christ was a 'oo 1 man a man without sin—t lien ore, in tie good, you must imitate Tim. The Bu 1-luist law, "i’uou shalt love the Lord thy God with till liy strength and all thy mind; with thy whole heart aud thy whole soul iitd thyt neighbor as thyself,” is also the Christian law. The speaker censured the I’resby erian article of faith which exeln It-s from hope of salvation till who are tot Christians. Let those who cen sure us study our religion and mo rals, tttid their faults aud show them to ns. It reason prove them rigln and us wrong, we will concede; hut, ill tiiis age of reason, never oilier wise. Confucius won over his hund reds of millions, mu by the sword, bur by reason. His followers mini ber four hundred million of the four tuudred and lifty million people in Jhimi, one-half of the thirty-six mil tiou iu J ipau, nearly all the tifiy i.hree million in Corea, aud one-third •f the forty-live million in Tartary. You cannot help admiring that gretn m in. because lie reasons. Through uim those four great territories have icen preserved t housands of years in happiness. Ladies and gentlemen, I ihank you. Tne s;ieaker quoted copiously from Confucius and Brahtnlnical writers, showing highly interesting analogies oetween Christianity and heathen ism. He caused great laughter in re lating how customs in China are di rectly opposed to those of America, even as the oue country istlteanti (o le of the other. His suavity and eloquence made such an impression hat it was with difficulty Hint lie dis '•[igaged himself front the friendly throng that besieged him when the lecture was over. Alj.tlltti t NKWi.

At the annual weekly meeting of the preachers of the Methodist Episcopol Church to day, a discussion ensued on the re ported utterances of Bishop Haven urging a renominutiou of General Grant for Presideutat the Preachers’ meeting in Boston on Monday.

I’he message which the President will shortly send to Congress on •Southern affairs, will relate in a greater part to tlie late troubles in Mississippi and tho mode of conduct ing elections in that State, the ittfor ■nation having been gathered by per sons designated tor that purpose. THE DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS. Col. L imar presided at the Dem ocratic caucus to-day. Banuiug, oi Onio, and Robbins, of North Caroli na, were Secretaries. Mr. Waddell, of North Carolina, offered resolutions for the appoint ment, by the Chairmau, of u Demo cratic Executive Committee, to eou sist of three Senators, six Represen tatives and luree citizens of the Dis trict ot Columbia. Mr. Cox, ot New York, offered tt tesoiuiiou providing for the ap pointment, by the Cuairtuatt, of a committee of eleven members, to suggest to the caucus, at a tu< urc day meeting, such line ot policy, or ac tion, ou public measures as would oesi serve lue interests of the coun try. Tuese resolutions, after debate, were severally agreed to. There was a harmony of views with regard to the duty of the majority ot ihe House. All agreed that they should, as far us possible, effect u reduction of taxation, and that the ti iverntneut should bo houestly and economically administered. Much responsibility devolved upon the ma jority of the House, although the senate Wits not politically iu accord with them. The country desired the stoppage of corruption and wasteful expenditures, and the Democracy could not expect the people to sluttd by them unless they stood by the people. No business, apart from that above mentioned, was considered, aud the caucus, after remaining in session an hour aud a liulf, adjourned. SUPREME COURT The Chief Justice announced that the Supreme Court would adjourn from Friday next to the third ot Juu uary. Judge Bradley's decision in the Giaud Patish cases will almost cer aittly be sustained when the opinion .s framed. The difficulty is with the manner of framing it. i'lte .State ot Ftoaiila vs. Audron, Holland and outers. This is a suit uy the Stale to enforce its lieu upon i lie Jacksonville, Pensacola and Mobile Railroad, under a mortgage made iu ts7n, iu exchange for State bonus, issued iu aid of the roads. By • his exchange, the State took $3,000,- 000 of the lirst mortgage bonds of the road, and 1,000,000 of the bonds of the Ft ifida Central Railroad Company,iu consideration of its issue to the com pany of tour millions of bonds, to Hasten the completion of certuin rouds, which had been consolidated iu pcisuauce of the act incorporating it and authorizing tlie aid. The interest on these builds not being paid, and a balance remaining due ou a trustee’s sale, made in the inter ests of tlie State to the company of certain of the roads’ dated bonds, this suit was consol brought, aud the decision is that the defendants ought to be enjoined from selling, tailing possession of or iuterlering with Lite line of railroad extending trout Lake City to the Chattahoochee liver, aud from Tallahassee to St. Marks, so as to impede, or ob sti uct Hie at te in takiug possession and procuring it to be cottdemued aud sold iu payment of the purcuase money aud interest claimed.

Mr. Patterson presented a memo rial of the Challestott Chamber of Commerce asking an appropriation for the improvement ot Charleston tiatbo. referred to Committee ou Commerce. Messrs. Conkling, Morrill of Vt., Hamlin, and others presented peti tions for tbe appointment of a Com mission to iuquire into the alcoholic liquor traffic referred to Committee on Finance. Mr. Edmunds, from Committee on the Ju liciary, reported a bill extend ing Lite time for the duration of the Alabama Claims Commission. He explained that the bill merely ex tended tbe time aud touched uo oth er questions. The bill was passed. Mr. Allison introduced a bill to transfer the Indian trust fuuds to the treasury of the United States. Referred to Committee on Indian Affairs. Mr. Davis introduced a bill making a i appropriation for continuing the improvement of the Great Kanawha river in West Virginia. Referred to Committee ou Commerce. Mr. Authony introduced a bill for the completion of the naval monu ment—referred to Committe on Na val Affairs. Mr. Merriman introduced a bill granting pensions to certain soldiers and sailors of the Mexican war and widows of deceased soldiers —re- ferred to Committee on Pensions. On motion of Mr. ClaytOD, tbe At- torney General was requested to com municate to the Senate any informa tion in ills |KWBession relative to the tieatmeut of Uuited States prisoners in State prisons. The Chair laid before the Senate i oomtnunteatioii from the Secretary of War euclusiug the report of Muj. Cimistook, of the Engineers, of the progress tnude under the contract in the improvement of the Southwest ttissof the Mississippi river. The tnotiou submitted by Mr. West tulhorizitig the withdrawel from the die of tho Senate of L. McMillan as Senator from Louisiana was taken up. Mr. Suulsbury said he did not know that he had anyobjee >iou to this withdrawal, but he would like to know tlie reason, as it seent rather novel proceeding. Mr. Thurman Btlid it appeared to him as a matter of no consequence whatever whether the credentials were withdrawn or not; MuM.linn's action and the acceptance of his resig nation by Gov. McEuery, puts hint entirely out of the question. But. his action Itad and could have no effect on the ease of Mr. Piuohbuck. Mr. Merriraou thought it just to refer tlie matter to tlie Committee on Privileges and Elections. Mr. Morton did not cure whether these credentials were withdrawn or not. They were a more sham, as there never was any such thing as a Mc- Euery Legislature or a McEuery Gov ernment. The credentials amounted to uothing, whether laid upon the table, under tho fable, or any where else. Mr. Stevenson agreed with Mr. Morton, that it did not mattei whether or not the credentials were withdrawn, but he dissented front the opinion of that Senator about the McEuery Government. A Republi can committee of this body hail de clared the Kellogg Government the greatest sham and fraud that had over disgraced a free Government. lilminii Pnclit in ilninmiirn*. Galveston, Deo. 11.
