BID HUbbEN UKATII IN PHILADELPHIA.
John A. Smull died suddenly of op-
ilexy, at the Girard IIoiiko, in Phil
adelphia, on the 10th inst.

death of John A. Smull, tbu well.
nown resident Legislative Clerk,
show thut be left Harisburg on
Wednesday for Asbury Park, in com
pany with bis niece, Miss Pauli, and
Mr. and Mrs. C. II. Taylor, of Cbam-
bersburg, intending to stop a few days
in Philadelphia. Ho retired appar-
ntly in good spirits about 10 o'clock,
and was not seen again until discover
ed in his bed in the morning dead in
tbo Girard House, having died some
time in tbe night of heart disease. His
remains were takon to Harrisburg.
John Augustus Smull was born Sep
tember 1st, 1832, and was nearly loriy
seven years of age, and In tbe prime
of lite. He was tho second of the
three sons of John Smull and Harriet
Paull, who were ol German ancestry.
Tbe father, at the time of bis death,
was proprietor of the Washington
Uouso, which stood on tbe site now
occupied by the J ones House, and was
so called because General Washington
bad spent a night nnder its roof.
John A. Smull received a public school
education, and in his fourteenth year
was apprenticed to tbe printers trade
in tho office ol tho IlarriBburg Tele
graph, having declined to appointment
of midshipman in tbe Navy at tbe de
sire oi his parents. At the age of 17
he succeedod to tbe position ol Page
in the House of Representatives made
vacant by the death of bis brother Le-
van, and became the sole support of
bis mother. The appointment was
mado by tbe Clerk of the IIouso, W.
D. Jack, ot Westmoreland county.
From this position be rose to bo Bill
Clork, Bill and Petition Clerk, and
at length created for himself the posi
tion of Resident Clork, an office which
has now become a necossity to Penn
sylvania Legislatures. This position
he filled with markod ability and suc
cess until his death, save during tho
sosion of 1873-76, when Major Elbridge
McConkey occupied the dosk. Not
tbo leust considerable work of Mr,
Smull's life was the yearly compilation
ol "Smull's Legislative Hand Book," a
romarkably clear, condensed, yet full
manual of all that pertains to parlia
mentary law and the business of tho
State Legislature. Mr. Smull was for
many years prominently Identified
with tho Masonic irtitornity of tho
State and hold a number of positions
of trust and responsibility. He was
also one of the loundors of Robert
Burns Lodge, No. 464.
The Protection Fraud. The Bal
timoro Gazette soys: "Since the pass
age of tbo bill placing quinine on tho
free list tho wealthy drug firm in Phila
delphia which bos built up a colossal
fortune in the manufacture of prepared
quinine announces that it will retire
from that branch cf business on ac
count of its inability to compete with
loreign manufacturers. This tells the
whole story of our protective tariff
system. For years tho suffering poo
pie of the United Slates havo been rob
bed in their sickness in ordor that four
or five drug bouses might grow wealthy
and during all this time the Treasury
of the United States has vertically ac
cumulated nothing from the importa
tion of quinine pernaps $10,000 por
year. A careiul study ot tbe tariff
schedule reveals doions of just such
iniquities." This huge tariff fraud
passed by a Radical Congress ten years
ago, lor tho purpose of taxing the
many and making millionaires out of
the half doxen druggists, became
odious, and when pressed to a repeal
by the Democrats, in June lost, not a
single Radical Senator, or member of
the Tlouse dared to object to tbe repeal
of the monopoly, and the scoundrels
wore so humane about it that they
did not call for the yeas and nayos, or
the passage of the bill to repeal tho
infamy.
No Yoo Don't. The Radical papors
are already beginning to charge the
Democrats with the obstruction to jus
tice in tho case of the Texas mail rob
ber, whore the United Slates Marshal
who arrested him bad not the funds
to remove him. But this will not rin.
Congress appropriated the money for
oxponses of this sort and Ilayos vetoed
tbe bill in spite bocauso tbey didn't
vote him the supplies to carry the
"National" elections. Mr. R. B. Hayes
is tho cause of the bindranco of justice
in tho case of Iho Texas mail robber.
The people who receive stolen goods
should not be so sancy upon this point,
bocauso all such are esteemed no bet
ter in the eyes of the law than tbe
thiof. Mrs. Piukston (negro), M
Jonks (whito), John Sherman (wbito),
Stanley Matthews (ditto), parties who
stole the Presidency In 1876, should
manifest a little modesty during tbe
Hayes reign, bocause tba whole pack
might yet be impeached, or sent to tho
penitentiary, for the crimes they have
committed.
UpnoLDiNO Corruption. Marshal
James N. Kerns swore beforo the
Wallace committee that "as far as the
appointment of supervisors and deputy
marshals for the city of Philadelphia
is concerned tbe city could do very
well without tbem," and the Wallace
committee proved the character of tho
men he did appoint to be of tho worst
the city afforded. It waa the bill to
support this miserable stealing of pub
lio lands by the appointment ef unne
cessary officials, and corrupting of tho
ballot box by their rascally presence,
that Hayos demandod should be pass
ed, and stuck to it so hard as to voto
a bill to pay a regular marshal only
bocause it failed to provide for the pay
ment ol these Infamous political agents.
These fellows got five dollars per day,
and In IS" 6 thero were 6,494 appoint
ed in the principal cities.
Senator Ingalls was received with
great to-do upon his arrival ia Atchi
son, Kansas, the othor eight. There
was a grand flambeau procession and
so on. But several Kansana are light
ing a flambeau of investigation that
Ingalls may not like as much as that
of the Atchison glim Frrkannr, In
nocent children lack shame ; but bow
it comes that these Kansas adults fall
into tbe same error, we cannot con
ceive. A more noted corruptionist
than Ingalls does not hold a seat in
any representative body In the United
States.

Moorish mothers could not adopt any
thing better to Irighten their children
than by reading your call to tbem.
But let the Reporter have a moment to
analyze it: Wbon you speak of an
honest curreacy do you mean that tho
bondholder shall bo paid in gold and
the laborer in rag money, as once your
party enacted ?
When you Bpeak of a faithful dis
charge of national obligations do you
have reference to the littlo opisodo be
tween the Republican State officials
and tbe parties wbo had lent the Com
monwealth gold and you ropudiato the
obligation to pay them in tho same
kind of money, and besides that Treas
urer Kemble sont them an insulting
snub for asking you to faithfully dis
charge your "national obligations ?"
When you spoak of opposition to Com
munisra do you refer to the riots a few
years ago which the Republican au
thorities wore afraid to interfere with
and could have nipped in the ontHtart,
but permitted tbem to spread over tbe
country beforo making any earnest
attempt to put them down T You didn't
interfere in lime because you wore
afraid of loosing the Communistic
vote.
When you speak of the "Restoration
to Powor in tbe National Governmont
of tbe influences which procured the
rebellion," do yon moan tbe appoint
mont to places ol power by your party
ot the worst robel guerillas, Moseby,
of tho great rebel military loader Long-
street, of the appointment of rebel
General Key as Postmastor General
and of appointing dozens of other

A Hireling Sheet. Tbo Itepubli
cans are running a vigorous campaign
paper at Okolona, Mississippi, styled
the "State." It prolosses to bo an ex
ponont of Southern sentiment and con
tends for Stutos rights, socossion, tho
ropoal of tho Constitutional amend
monts and for "the Planter-Republic
of the Fathers," with all the revolu
tionary unction that tho Stalwarts pay
tor. Of course, it is not supported in
tbo South, but is liberally paid for by
the Republicans to furnish revolution
ary articles for the Northern speakers
and organs, but tho reputable Northern
organs have ceased to quote It or in
any way to sanction the fraud. It is
chiefly edited by Mr. W. H. Keman
a carpet-bagger, who once rotated be
tween Ohio and Indiana. The editor
ials of the State are a cross between
Brick Pomeroy and Dr. Landis, and
are so palpably idiotio that it is a dead
waste of money for Zach Chandler to
keep it alive. If tbe Democrats of the
North were to employ Brick Pomoroy
to publish a Republican organ, they
would got about even with tbe Repub
lican Okolona experiment, and both
sidos would give fresh proof that fools
and their money are easily parted.
Timet.
Yes, Party Salvation. George U
Williams was Grant's Attorney Gen
eral, and when Cbiol Justice Chose
died, the "second Washington," with
full knowledge of Williams' unsavory
reputation, insultod the country an
the Sonato by sending his name to that
body as Judge Chase's successor.
Grant was driven, however, by the ir
resistible force of publio opinion, pro
claimed by the American press, to with
draw the nomination in order to pro-
vent its overwhelming rejoction. Will
iams, who still Uvea in Washington,
appears in a recent intorview as say
ing : "I am satisfied, howovor, as I
have beon all along, that Grant does
not swok, neither will lie aooept tbo
nomination, unless convinced that it is
for tbe salvation of the party, or of the
country." A tew like Georgo II. Will
ams expressing his solicitude for the
salvation of the country through
third tormof Grant ism, all of which be
saw and part ot which be was, reminds
one of Dr. Johnson's celebrutod apo
thegm, that "patriotism is the last
refuge ol a scoundrel."

Hon. Morimn R. Wise fell into tho
clutch ol your correspondent, and, as
be represents the 21st District in Con
fess, was interrogated as follows :
Q. What do you regard as tho ucn-
crul result of the Extra Session ?
A. Tbo Extra Session, wbon its pro
ceedings have beon made known to
the people, will bo rocognir.ed as hav
ing seiiieu ono point, wnicii is inui vne
Republican party intends to continue
its power by the use of the military at
tho polls as a police force. This is ac
knowledged by a brave Republican
Senator, General Burnside, who on the
oor of the Senate said that he was
opposed to tbo ubo of the Army as a
ponce lorce ai tuo pons nonce no woum
voto sgainst it. Mr. Williams, of Wis.
consin, in a colloquy with Mr. Gar
field, in the IIouso of Representatives
opposed tho bill bocause the law as it
stood would allow tbe President to
use tho troops at tho polls to keep tho
poaco. This acknowledgement by
icitding members ot the Republican
farty of their purpose is conclusive

people by the House rejoining in ses-,y
sion, the Extra Session bas beon ol
vast sorvico to the public mind in edu
cating it in rogard to tho course to bo
pursued by the two great political
particB in the campaign of 1880.
u. Is there not inconsistency in tho
Republicans insisting upon retaining
tho power to place troops at tho polls
bile the President declares they
nevor Intend to put them thero ? '
A. Tbe inconsistency ot tbe Jtoiiub-
lican party is unmasked by their ac
tion in voting "no" on the appropria
tion bills ruther tban surrender the
right of the President to keep the
troops at tho polls to keep the poaco
and their solid vote against tho Springor
Bill, which expressly forbids the uso ol
the Army as a police force, is an affir
mation by act, that thoy intend their
de facto Exocutivo to use the troops in
the approaching campaign of 1880, in
tho lace ot his assertion that "he never
intended to uso the troops to keep the
peace, etc."
U. l)oo not tho (act that the minor
ity and their de facto Exccntivo insist
upon retaining tho Deputy Marshals
with their arbitrary power ol arrest
ing voters befoio they bavo cast their
ballots indicate a determination to keep
control of tho Govornmenl by fraud
and force ?
A. Tho fact that the Republicans
by dilatory motions and other moans
have resistod tho passago of any finan
cial relief measures at this Ex
tra Session is conclusive evidence to
evory fair-minded man that they have
no rogard for tho condition or welfare
of tho people. They shut their eyes
and virtually Bay thoy caro nothing
lor the countless paces ot sheriff s
sales in tho leading cities of tbo North
nor lor the innumerable lax sales in
tho Southern States. With the F.xoa
utive in the chair wbo is compelled by
his advisors to voto every thing but
pure money bills, their oourse proves
that to uso tho Marshals with their
power of arbitrary arrests of voters be
fore thoy have cast their ballots, thus
control elections is the sole object of
the Republican party in Congress so
that by force aud fraud and in defianco
of public opinion tbey will have a vic
tory in tha annroachinir camnaitfti.
Q. Would not the President have
vetood the silver bill had it been pass
ed at this session ?
A. 1 have no doubt that tho Presi
dent would have vetoed the Warner
silver bill. If the threats and promises
of tbe loading memoors ol tho KopuD
lican party in connection with the
bondholders are lo be believed it is
oortain that be would have done so, as
they were mora hostilo to it than to
tbe liland .'Silver Hill of li8, which ho
did voto. The Warner bill makes the
remoneti'.ation of silver complete,
hence it is ol vital importance lo the
commercial interests of tho people and
is against tbe money and Jionu ring
which bas possession of tho V. S.
Troasury and is running it to the de
struction of tho best interests ol tlioso
whom it should relievo. 1 am assured
that with tho oourso pursued by tbe
Republican party and their f.xocntive
thero is no reliof for the pcoplo at this
session. 1 boretore, tho only modo ol
rebel lor them is to ariso and by their
united efforts and votes burl Irom
power tlioso Republican misreprcscnta-
tivos who are obstructinq the much
needed financial relief ol tho country.

sonls tho Cumberland, York, and
Adams District, was pumped with the
tollowinir result
(J. What is tho moaning of the Re
publican position in regard to Federal
control ot elections r
A. That is so plain as to answer
itself. Tho Republican position as
sumes : First, that the Federal govern
mont has tho rigbt to control elections
in tbo State as tar as membors ol ton
Kress, Senators and Presidential electors
are concorned. Seoond, that tho rigbt
to Interiors being conceded by Us op
poncnts or settled by legislation all the
powers incident to and neeossary for
its oniorccmeni ioiiow. iniru, inai
under cover of tbe richt and the meas
ures provided for its enforcement thoy
can pay thoir thousands of corrupt
workers by appointing thorn as tieuu
ty Marshals, etc. With tho political
parties oi the country so evenly bal
aucod as they always havo been, are
now and of necessity must continue to
bo, and the corrupt, floating, purchas
able voto as largo as It is and increas
ing as it must with tbe increase of tho
hardness of the times the balanco of
power will always be turned by the
uso ol federal palronairo In the ap
pointment of Deputy Marshals tbe
number of which will only bo limited
by tho necessities of tho occasion. Tbe
real meaning ol the Republican posi
tion therelore to establish the right of
tbe federal government to intortcre
with elections, to provide by swooping
and tyrannical legislation tor the en
forcement of the right, and undor tbe
provisions ol tins legislation to any by
patronage the corrupt vote of the
country which bolds the balanco ol
power, and thoroby control elections.
Q. Does thoir claim of tbo right to
control elections by Deputy Marshals
aim vi vaia up iiiuir aruiirary arrests
with troops, mean a lair poll and an
bonost count?
A. No, it moans only tho mainte
nance of Republican supremacy by tbo
commonest devices of corrupt politics.
Q. Why if they want pure elections
do they Insist upon the right to assess
olliceholdors and Ullihiister against re
forming an abuse which thoir Presi-
urjnl and vliief organs buve so often
condemned r
A. Of oourse tha Republican parly
opposes tha political assessment bill bo
cause It strikos at one of the sources
of their campaign funds. Tho profes
sions ol their fraudulent Executive
and tbe ploluniftlan reformers by
whom be is surrounded, are just so
much trash. Tbey aro not sincere
themselves and do not expect others
lo be. Ail puurisica ate toiuemptibio.
It is not so clear that tho Democracy
aru not courting tbo Bamo judgment of
mankind by manifesting -loo much
seal against political purposes. A pure
Arcade or Utopra if it were attainable
among men might justify such laws
but hardly any other Statu would. A
party that for half's century inscribed
on its campaign banners "to the vic
tors belnng4be spoils," and apotlicsls
ed the author of tho declaration will
hardly win an honest admiration of
men by standing firmly and looking
towards heaven, saying, "Thank God
we are not as oilier men." The rigbt
of any man, whether in government
employ or out ot il to do what he
plcaHoa witu Ins mcm-v is aosoiuto una
indefeasible. It is tho right to do
what he pleases with ones own. If
government employes got too much
compensation and thereby are enabled
voluntarily to contribute to campaign
funds it migbt bo well enough tor a
Democratic Conuress, upon this being
shown, lo cut' down tho surplus
amount.
Q What do you conceive lo bo the
not result politically of tho Extra
Session ?
A. It Is very bard lo tell on which
side the advantage lies in the results
ol the Extra Session. It should never
have been called. Having boon culled,
however, It was the plain duty of the
Democracy to make the issue wuicn
induced tho Extra Session squarely
and promptly then go to tho people.
Nothing olso should have been done.
No hobbies, no silver bills, no private
legislation. All tbut could bo hoped
to bo gained was either tho repeal of
tho odious election laws or tho deter
mined effort to repeal them thwarted
by the voto of tho fraudulent Execu
tive at the dictation ot the liadical
leaders in Congress. Ono of these no-
sitions Could
have been reached be
J'ond doubt ill a month or six weess
decisive energetic action. The
of a lone windy session. The division
and contention over the silver bill
the burden pf government shifted on
our shoulders with all the responsibili-
lies, n o are oxpoctca to Dring renei
I. l.f- . .1! I
lo the bad times and distressed indus
try of the country when relief by log
Ulation is impossible excopt by the
slow process ot convalescence which
nature provides formations as well as
men. To effect these disadvantages
wo have but litllo achievement. We
havo not only substantially repealed
the obnoxious luws, but we have by
aceeuting very thin substitutes for re
peal dwarfed Irreparably the great
issues which otherwise would have
mado tho next campaign an aggressive
and brilliant one. Worse than all we
have marched up tho hill and marched
down again. Wo have given the vot
erans of tho great Democratic party
the demoralisation of another defeat.
But, notwithstanding all these blun
ders, I am convincod that wo will win
tho next national tight and havo tho
next President. The fraud of 1876 by
which the will of tho people was defied
and tho regime ol corruption and rad
icalism continued will be revoked and
forever wiped from history in tho
mighty conflict of 1880.
INTERVIEWER.
Washington, July 4, 187W.
RADICAL IlItiTORIAXS.
As manufacturers ol history, the av
erago Radical male and female exceeds
all others. As Sunday school educa
tors, they have no equals on earth in
misleading the young mind. To illus
trate our moaning, we clip tho follow
g : "Gen. Beauregard, under date of
Juno 28, addresses a letter to the Lou
isville Democrat to rufulo tho slanderl
upon bis record as a soldier, which
was published in tho Children's Cen
tonnial history, referring to Col. James
Cameron's death at the buttle ol Bull
Run, July 21, 1861. The statement of
the historian is, that, 'after Col. Cam
oron's death, a soldier secured from
his lileless body the miniatures of the
Colonel and his wife ; but, though an
carnost appeal was made to Genoral
Beauregard to give up his remains, to
bo buried by his family, that officer,
with tbe want ot humanity which has
characterized him, refused to give up
either the body or tbe miniatures.'
Gen. Beauregard's letter states that
there is not a word of truth in tho
story about the miniatures, as he never
saw them nor heard of them until now.
As regards the refusal to give up the
body of Col. Cameron, bis statement is,
that, shortly alter tbe battle of Ma
nassas, ho believes an application was
mado by Hon. Simon Cameron, then
Secretary of War, for the delivery ol
his brothor's body, bit it was address
ed : 'To whomsoever it may conoorn,'
and Gun. J. E. B. Stuart, who com
manded tho cavalry outposts, return
ed it with tho endorsement that 'there
was no one ol that name in command.'
Subsequently, two parlies crossed the
linos, as they said, for tho purposo of
recovering tho body, but, not being
supplied with the proper papers, thoy
were arrested as spies and sent to
Richmond. Gen. Beauregard further
states that he was not in command of
tbo united forces at Manussas at that
limo, but will remark, in conclusion,
that be had tbe grave of Col. Cameron,
noar the stono building at the inter
section of tbe Sudley road and War
ronton turnpike, marked, that his body
might bo delivered to his friends when
ever properly applied for." "To whom
soever it may concern" is so Camoro-
nian, and recent developments make
it conclusive, that the stalwart in tho
Sunday school book Is false in every
particular.
THE NA POLEONS.
'i ho New York S'im calls attention
to the singular fact that nnt one of the
imperial M apoloons has died in r ranee,
or on the French soil. Napoleon I ,
tho fonndur of tho family, died a pris
oner on the British island of St. Melo
ns, in tho South Atlantic Ocean ; hie
son, Napoleon II., died in Austria; his
nephew, Napoleon III., died an exilo
in England ; and now bis grand
nephew, the young man whom tho
French Imperialists havo hoped would
ono day rule Franco as Napoleon IV.,
has met his fate at tbo point of Zulu
sprurs in South Africa.
There is a fragment of the Dona
parte family still in France. It is tho
son of Jerome Bonaparte by the West
phalia wife, better known by the nick
name Plon-Plon. He It f7 years ol
ago, was a soldier in tbe Crimea and
Italian wars, and is a man of consider
able ability, though now simply an
amiable voluptuary wilh a decided
rcpugance lor guns and drums and
wounds. Strsnge to say, he bas al
ways been a Liberal in polities and is
now a recogtucod supporter or the
French Republic. He bos no Imperial
disposition, has no party or following
and Is not likely to creato disturbance,
He has oonsidorablo family, but even if
be were so disposed, be could scarcely
Hod anybody to urge bis claims to a
throne, which, at best, never bad any
thing but a pasteboard existence. Tbe
Bonaparte have nevor bad anything
in Franco except wbst wad won for
thorn by the sword and tbe same royal
road lo power lies bclore all men of
brains, audacity and cruel ambition
THE CUR TIN- YOCUM CONTEST
The"edilor. of the Ontre. Vntiocrai,
in alluding to this case, says :
It witt generally supposed aud believ
ed that the report and conclusions ol
the above contested election caso would
have beon reached beforo this time.
But it has not occurred, and in order to
answer the many inquiries made con
cerning it, we have concluded lo give
our readers the information we could
gather in referenco to il. It has been
suid by some that on account of the
testimony tukon in tho cuse being in
so bad a shape, through tho bungling
managomunt ol the utUmiuye a fiu titui
thai part of it in charge, that the
committee could not understand nor
straighten out tha mixed up evidence.
This we can assure our readers from
the most reliable source is not the case
stall. And whoever originated such
an assertion drew largely, fur bis con
clusion, upon a porvortcd imagination.
Mr. letters, tho clerk of the committee,
who has gone ovor all tbo testimony,
hud no such fault to find wilh it, and
be is tho only person who has examin
ed tho entire case. In his preparation
of it for the printer be had occasion to
strike out or lather tako Irom tho tee
timony, a large amount of supcrfluouf
matter in the records and documenta
ry evidonce, which was considered by
the committee not necessary to be put
in tho printed copy, hut which is pro
served by the clerk for the uso of tbo
committee it occasion requires it.
The true reason why tbe case bas
not been disposed of up to this lime is,
lust, the indisposition ol the commit
tee to tuko up any contest during tho
extra session having been called, us is
well known, to psss tho appropriations
lor noxt year. Another reason, and
perhaps the principle ono, is, that the
appropriation for public printing lor
the year having been exhausted, Mr.
Delrees, the public printor, refusod to
print any matter oxcept such as was
absolutely necessary for tbe daily uso
of the House and Senate. True, tho
Iowa cases were before the committee,
and passed upon by the committee, but
the report bas not been presented in
the House and probably will not be at
this session. It might be in place hero
to slate that tbe committco bavo de
cided against the contestants in these
two cases and Messrs. Carpenter and
Supp, two Republican members, will
retain their scats, which Bhows that
this committee is a lair ono, and not a
political machine to seat evory Demo
crat wbo may contest a seat in Con
gress. But notwithstanding tbe indis
position of the committco to consider
cases, at present, the case of Curlin vs.
iocum would have been taken up by
the committee, if it could havo been
printed, and Mr. Filers, the clerk,
worked faithlully and bard to have it
in readiness bclbre Congress adjourned.
Tho cuse bus made all tho progress
it possibly could under tbe circum
stances. There aro several hundred
pages of it printed already, and it is the
only ono in the printer's hands, and no
other will precede it, as ho has instruc
tions from the proper authority to
print it as fust as possible. After tho ap
propriations for next your are applicu
bio, which they will bo after the 1st of
July, the printing will bo done in a
very short lime. Should Congress ad
journ, the committco bus authority by
virtue ot a resolution passed by the
House to prepare this case during tbe
tho vacation, so as to have it ready by
tho tuna Congress meow in December,
Sound to tue Core. An exchango
says: "In hi recent address before
the joint literary societies of tho Uni
versity ol Virginia Bishop Dudley de
clarcd upon his responsibility as a
teacher of religion that he woull not
have any change made in the policy
adopted by that University as regards
religious training ; that be did not be
lieve in compelling students to attend
religious exerciso. This testimony
from a aealous religious teacher la the
more Impressive because tbe Bishop
has been a student at tbe University
and is acquainted with the result of
compulsory attendance of chapol ser
vices at other college and therefore
knows what he Is taking about. It is
the belief of some peoplo that compul
sory attendance upon religious oxer
cisos forms good habit ; it is tbe opin
ion of others thoy beget an irreverence
and a dislike of religion that often last
through life. Bishop Dudley's opinion
will carry a great weight with it In
our judgment compulsory religion or
education is the godlalher ol prohibi
tory laws, bearing upon morals, busi
ness, or the social affairs of society.
They aro intolerable to men of sound
senso.
A Tuin Defence Tbe Now York
Tribune chuckles ovor the facV that
none of the high officials In Washington
who are charred by Glover with in
competency and peculation have even
deignod to read his report. A a mat-
tor of fact, Republican officials every
where have been charged with rascal
ity so much that tbey bavo grown ac
customed to it. It is only when they
aro convicted thut thoy manifest tho
slightest feeling or interest. Under
the Grant reign few membors of his
parly look offence at tho sale ot trader
posts by his Seorolary of War Bel
knap and crimes perpetrated by Bab
cock, the privato Secretary, but Hayes,
Pinkston, Jcnks, Sherman i. Co., came
in oa reformers, and promised their
party friends and the peoplo that orimo
committed in high plaoo should stop,
Yot, we aro today in possession ot
documentary facts which go to prove
that Hayes & Co., havo committed
more crimes in two years than Grant
& Co. did in four yoars.
That Fool Bibuop. Tbo Cincin
nati CommfrnViJ ho always defended
tho peculiar ravings of Bishop "Gil
Haven," until recently. The last 4th
of July oration was too much lor the
editor of that Havo organ. Hear
bim: "Bishop Haven's idiotic ravings
ovor Grant as one greater than Wash
ington and .Napoleon are boing gener
ally copied with wonder marks. They
do not help tbe boom. Something
should be done for Haven, and that
quickly." If tho Bishop didn't got
drunk on Iho 4th of July, he is oortainly
demented with fanatical proclivities.
How the Church can stand such howl
ings wo cannot understand except on
the Becchcr plan that great preach
er can vlolato two-thirds of all the
commandment and still be potted and
fondled like a poodle dog, by an an
cienl maiden, who has nothing else to
play with.
