• • -.1.•• ".;,••• •e t fr• 4 .'"" Pluto' journal. POTTSVILLE, PA. SATCRDAT. APRIL Sal. 1 PAPIST SOPECESTBY. The last number of the Register contains a singularly logic& communication from a Roman Catholic contributor, signing himself "Consideration." purports to be a 'disquisidon upon the merits of a recent article upon priestcraft, published in the Journal; aud.Attempts in a facetious strain, to controvert s.atementa contained in our article. In order to show "Consideration" the impression mati i e . l. his logical esominuni eation.on our mind, we wevid: ask his atten don to a few facts, elicited by a inrusal,of his sophistical contribution tb the Register. In regard VI the transformation of 'the bread and wine.statement, we are cognizant of the action of au intelligent layman of the Roman Catholic church, resident, here, who upon being asked if he believed that his priest possessed the power of changing . the wafer literally into flesh, 're plied in the negative. Upon being told that the fact of the transformation was one of the essential doctrines of the Roman Catholic Churcii, he communicated with a fellow lay man in regaid theinatter, and received for his information, the reply, "certainly, we must believe it." The person we refer to, too in telligent to believe any such absurdity, and feeling astired that other dogmas of the church were equally as .untenabla, withdrew, and has since seceded abut the Popish doctrines, to which are attached so many errors, detrithen tal to the interests of the . laity of the Cath olic church. "Consideration'says:— "The editor of the Miners' . .Intirnoi is violent in his denunciations of. the Catholic clergy for an Ima7.lnasy withholding of the sacred scriptdres from the laity.— Now, with my Catholic Bible in one hand, recommended to me by those clergy azainst whom he is so violent, and the Miner? Jour', et/ to the other, informing me that said clergy would not allow me to have it. leads me to the conclusion that the editor is well versed in Bannan's In verted • Indeed? It appears to us that if "Consid eration" intends by this statement—supposing it trae. : ---to convey the idea that the Roman Catholic clergy recommend or even permit the laity as a mass, to. read whit( he calls the Catholic Bible, in the vernacular Or vulgar ton^_me, he is guilty of an infringement of the `truth, ~t) the effect that when the truth is told with the intention of. deceiving, it is, in effect, a falsehood. "Ccpsideration" may be an ex ception to .the r6le of the Roman Catholic Church in this matter, and the exception proves the existence of the rule. The rule to which we refer is thus laid down by the highest authority' known , to the Roman Cath olic' Church, viz;—the Council of Trent:— "AP espnicnco •• has shown thlt the Indiscriminate reading et the Bible in the vulgar longue. is, on account of the mshness of Men, more disadvantageous than pro fitable, it will depend upon the bishops or the inqulsltor, who will have an understanding on the subject with the • cure or the confessor. to permit this reading to those per sons whom they will judge able to undl , rtalie it without 'danger. and who will gin from it an inerease of faith and piety. This peiluission will he given in writing.— Whoever. without having re,:eieee a permission Of this imam. will fibre to read or pssttss a Bible. cannot Neely.. th o ats dntt m of his sins until he has ret urne>l IMO:114u to his cure sellers. who, Mahout haring the said permission. shall. sell the Bible. timislated into the vub .gar ton.rue. -se ;he prig r el' their ”b,s, which will be w't apart by ltu. iisti•pc ler pi^us pnrposes: they will alsoltSliakle to other penalties. according te`the nature ni 111, rtilltiquency, mei agreeable to the judgment o f the bishop. The priests them,elves'oan neither read nor buy s 111,10 wjthont the permission et their superlors.— , C Peg. IV. • N o w, ot4 thing i s certain, that it' '• wsid- eration" is .1. Roman Catholic, he dare not de ' ny the binding authority of this .canon or regulation, for he• professes his belief (see creed Of Pius IV) in, the following words:likeWise undoubtedly rece . iye and profess all other things, delivered, defined. and de, cured by the sacred canons and general coun cils, and particularly by the holy councils of Trent.' This 'Bible thus interdicted, and taken from the laity, is:lxhat "Consideration . ' eallsthe Catholic Bible. How itethe face of the • exisrence of suet a prohibitory law, as the one adduced above, to prove the stability of our po sition on this question, can -Consideration" at nouPt to induce us to crelit his statement, that the priests recommend and . place Bihles in the hands of the mass of the laity of the Catholic church? The priesthood may., to maintain appearances in the sight of the A taerican 'people, 'WI-Mit the laity, to a certain extent,. to have in their possession, under restrictions - peeuliar to the Roman Catholic Church for instance, a pocket Bible, time first edition 'of which ever issued in this_ country, was announced in the Boston Pilot, some . six months since. The Flemish testathent cir •culated in Europei. is compiled and 'notes appended to suit the peculiai view .of the Catholic hierarchy 'so that no danger to their power need ho apprehended. ,"Considera .tion- should know that the Opposition'to the Bible; finds its sourcfat the fountain head of the Roman Catholic. church ; flows 'on gath ering strength from the thousands of Jesuiti cal priests, unfaithful shepherds, who'seek an aggrandizement of their own power, rather than. he spiritual welfare of the flocks .com• iiiitted to their care,—until the who really are desirous of seeking the truth, are swept off, and euguiphed iu the flood of iglu:l - ranee and prejudice; spite of exertions to save themselves. When will the laity of the catholic church have the manliness and independence to - crush the, despotic, power which enslaves aid degrades them? We . trust their eyes will be fully opened ere long; and that in this 'country at least, they will' soon see the necessity of movingtuergetically in the matter. The laity and not the Mem chy'of the Catholic' church, should rule in mere`temporal mattcrs ;and we are much mis taken if such will not eventually be the case. Again, "Consideration'' says: As to the humiliating arektacie of Catholics reginittl iniihe State not to interfere in tiro management of their chur'h`preperti• I would consider it meritorious mtd•a convincing proof of their implicit confidence in their clergy." . So would we, were we, not satisfied that the recent request of the Catholics of Philadel phia, asking the State not to interfere in the Inanagement of their church property, wail forced front them by the Catholic clergyfon pain of excommunication, curse , - etc./'But :apart front this bingl compulsory proceeding it is evident from recent Catholie/Petitions -and letters, in relaffou to church property and their hierarchy, in Idassachutetts and New York, that the laity aiegaini4 independence,- and losing confidence .theiF clergy, by de termining to-take their , property into their own hands„and / thanaging it to suit them selves. Ind it teed hardly cache 'surprise, when we considers tO what a disgracefhl 'extent the power of, the Runtish clergy has been car ried.' How commpn it had become for lay men to be expelled from their own property; the consolations of tlieir religion withheld front them on The most affecting occasions; aultinally driven to the last extremity, com pelled to yield a passive obedience to what . they felt was almost unendurable. Incidents could he ptesented, local, in soinerkeases, to prove the unwarrantable interference, of the , il elergy in the temporal matters of the laity.— And yet, in, spite of facts which can be ad duced by iteores, Archbishop HyullEs would have ;us ii)elieve that .the .Roman Catholic 'clergy never resort to coercion i . . . A single case to which we Would refer, is that of a German, who while his child was king dead, requested his priest to officiate at funeral: 'fhw priest refused to tteced the tiitlicr's desire, unless he was paid two dollars, and actually kept the man in. sus and harra.ised him for a day, until the (lettuti4b! , l was paid. Annoyed at the ditgusted with the mereePary , of th e priest; and. hhocked ati the I t - •!.: delicacy, if Oct linur.tility k .evinced in natter allied with his affeetihns, the man' de..trek that when he died, not to be buried Catholic krotind. 4 •- 32 2 The Aid communication laity of the Catholic church are becoming wearied of the yoke which they have works() patiently heretofore ; losing cdnfideece in thOrl clergy, and seeking: to manage church ruht-i tern for themselves? We think not; and - if "Consideration" was aslindependent a Catho lic as Mr. LE Cox - rantt . , and the rest of the trustees of the St. Lotus Church, of Buffalo, and dared express an unbiassed opinion, he would acknowledge , tbat our logic in the mat ter is far from beinejnverted." 1. • The well known oppOsttion of the 'lonian • Catholic clergy, to the. Manner in which our I . • Public Schools should be conducted, is milli - cient answer to "Consideration" on that point. This . bulwark of our national -liberties is im• pregnable to the assaults of Rome, and we have no fear of priesteraft as regards -them. We warn the Catholic laity to turn a deaf ear to the sophistry of that hierarchy, which would array them in . .oppositiciu to , this most elter ished institution. Believe us the interests, the happiness of yOur Children in the future, depend Much upou your action in this Oat ter. We envy not that' man who will permit himself to be influenced to such. au extent contrary to his better judgment, as to jeop ardize the welfare of tho'se linked to hint: by ties of blood, in order i 4 add to 4 ) e poWet of an arrogant and corrupt priesthood. This is worthv'the serious 'conSideration of the Cath- olic laity. • "Consideration" ,further says: ; I "Irish Catholics can refer with pride and plensitro‘ tb their past political history in , this- tot:ifty; They - *ere part and parcel of that Democratic party whose leaqiing policy has. been vindiatted by the very best crlierion, (success) When the United' States Bank was the Vorder of the day, they were opposed to such a monopo M the When a high protective Tariff was the question were oPposed to : • • - * Is it not notorious that the Trish Catholics have the es teem of the still renialtiirur. Democratic party, and 'that said party have full confidence In their political virtue?" This is simply ridiculous!' A mere glance at the political . histbry ht -this country,. either State or Isiational, will disclose what the action bf Dish Roman - Catholics has - been pOliti .CallYZ According to the dispensation the "loaVes and fishes," spkbey have shaped their Course, and trimmed their sails. In Me.ssa chuSetts they have been Whigs; in Pennsylva nia, Democrais. Where the Democratic power was paramoittlt,khere the Irish Catho lics flocked; and Wen(Shoulder to shottlder 'in other sections with the Vhig party, hen their interests inclined! thent ..... t:;l l A course. We are certainly Most curious Pain ivhat tlie mass of the Irish Catholics know of the policy that led to; the 'establishment of the United:States Bank; Or of the questionof Protective Tariff. It I,t." , as sufficient for them that. the Democratic party, with which - ithey Were identified, much in the character ofelortli and serf t of the "Ohl country;" oPposed those measures; they did too, without Compre hending their merits, and utterly:ignorant of the effect a protective Itnriff would have :upon the industrial interest:3 Of the country. What . a farce! It plades the • Irish CatholiCs to. which 'Consideration l s;7 eloquently infers, either in the light, of serfs or mails; serfs of the, Deinocratic party4or tools of the Ifritish government; hired of Ponents to thelirotee tiOn of American indtiStry. One reader's can decide which is the most enviable'position for the gentlemen who "eon refer with Pridif and pleasure to their past Political history in this country." • In conclusion, we !nay remark, that •! Con sideration" must be peculiarly oldivious ; to the position of the .Democratic party, and i 4 gen eral condition of, political matters. tp! have , permitteu tnet l iact to escape his observation, t hat no Irishman flanis at this , momentAo ask office; that the niass Of Irish Catholis are only retained to servei the purpose of the par-1 ty, by their votes, and!tinit they, ore thortiughly despised by the Denni l ratie parts l even while that party uses them. 1 1 - The situation pt the Irish Catholi - cs at prifsent, can hardly be re-' • i (erred to by "Consideration,.. with pride and pleasure, if they hap Pen to: be !his political cronies. Their Position is now, work without pay, todyolster uti tlie declining' fortunes of their Patrons. For the sake of the feeliagS of his colleagues-, "Consideration" should` never again refer to the - posiiion of Irish., Cath olics in the Demoeratin party. • - CORPORATIONS; IMPROVEMENT COM- M.*. &c. Last week, we published two tills relating to Improvement Conipanies in this Region. Thesel Companies originate - with the land holde6 who are not rtiVageil in the COaLbtis iness, and are generally non-residents the County. The object seems more.particultirly, to create a large eapital,*and .issue stock by which' they. may, read an income from the sales 'of the stock, instead of i working the lands. If such is not : the case,: why's it neces sary to create a &Alteration with large amounts of - capital, (More than four times the value of the lands,) merely to improve them. The outlay. fur preparing , Collieries,land sinking Shafts, is not half SO heavy as is purpoSely represented by speculittors. The sinking of the Carey Shaft* the MeGinnesColliery,—a -depth of less than 450 feet,- - --did not, and should not have cost ov;el. $30,060 ; and with the necessary machinery to takeout per day front 800 to 1000 tons of Coal, not over $75,- 000. Twelve years since, an estimate 'of the expense was made by one of our most careful Coal operators. Who then .!ontemplated taking the work in hand, and he estitruited the entire" expense at not more than $62,000, of w,4 sum he set apart $30,000 for sinking and"rre paring the shaft for Work. , • The Mine, II ill BaSin, and in fact4very per tioii of the" Region, ii within thifeach of in-1 dividual enterprise, without the incorporation of Companies. :The landpids are generally wealthy men, and if:the / income Will not.war rant the improvement of their lands, they can, as others are forcer do, Mortgage theni • as many other persons do and thus raise the means., If : their lands are worth $7OO,- 000 and $,00.000;fl surely they can raise from $50,000 tx)"$I00.000, to make the neces- 1 sary ityprovements, 'ouch easier than to sell stocym modern. Coal or ImprOvement Com pres; for none hut idiots or dupes would o'er huch ash:ire of- such stock, when the land is e , tnrown in at about four tinter its true value, and a stock oreatedj which never • will play cent of income to the stockholders. It may' enable the landholder to put 'money in his pocket; but the public would be most shame-, fully" swindled; in fact, robbed:of their money. • WC 110 LC repeat the' l assertion, and defy con tradiction from an!joinarter—Mat no Coal or Invorentent annpnity has erer Paid a dened to the stockhOlders in Schuylkill, and' the adjoining Anthracite Coal Pegionsi or in , any (!f: the Bituminons Coal Regions in the State, except where the binds were purchased at rates varying frmit $lO to $3O or .$3O per acre, and the lands put in to represent ~ stock at the c 01.4 price; or where a. Companij has been sold ft . tit by the'Sherijr, and the present holders obtained the:Prope . rty at onelburth or onc-kalf . its real value. The Combola,,COMpanv asks fig a capital of 5i50,000. Now, if this. proposed Conii pang' could find `!kreen-liorits" enough to tokd the s i tock at half that price, we will gtiatLantee that the proprietors, of the land would pocket that 'sum ; leave the dupes tc) 'make the im proviements; and the probability is, that the landis would all lie CoMparativefyidle, like the large tractli noW held in our midst by the North American and!iDelaware' companies. i I "haft • STRANGE LOGIC.—To sink a imam In the case of the firmer Company, the whOle I • . pally with the money of the:landiholders, and objecthas been since 1830, to dig a hole; is .; • ;atter it put in working prefer, telneprporOte employ the mendicant press to puff it into' a Company to sink the shaft and itnprove,the notice; mend out runner s to dupe the ignorld •iproperty.- This is certainly sttlinge logic,; rant by barc-faCed falsehoods; sell the stock, but nothing now-a-days apPears ttelni Strange and then stop the hole.

Basins are within the•reachi of individnal en terprise, because, the lowest veins deimit lie deeper than from . 2to `:500 feet. In th*Peach Mountain and Oak Hill range, the Olpy, Ash Coal can be reached at a depth of 241 400 feet by shafts, in the Basin, altheitgli the. White Ash Mammoth Vein lies depth of 800, to 1000 feet. In the Third;: Basin, south from the Broad Mountain, called the Lewis Vein Basin, the depth of a,4aft to strike the Red Ash Coal, would be only a few hundred feet, although the Mammoth: White Ash Vein lies at a *depth of from • 1000 to . 12.00 feet. In the two Southern BO** the Red Ash Veins • can be struck at a 'depth 'of a few hundred feet, by shafts, although the Mammoth White Ash Vein lies at * depth of from 1200 to 2000' feet. • We speak onhe deepest portions of the Basins. Attire Broad Mountain Basin, there are 64 feet of goal, all 'of which can be struck at a depth otll or 300 feet in the deepest pert of the Basin;:; The late Samuel B. Fisher, furniglied us with an estimate of the number. of ! veins of Coal in the different Basins, some tsi4 Tears since, from which we glean the Aillowing facts: • •••-, In the Broad Mountain Basin, thee are 9 distinct veins Of Coal; aggregate thickness, 64 feet. This can all be reached in the deep est_ part of the Basin' ? by hafts of not over .r, 200'feet in depth. In the Mine Hill Region the nuinber of veins is the same, with the same aggregate . quantity of Coal.—and all reached ata'depth' • • ~;,. _ of less than 500 feet.' In the Peach Mountain and Oak MI range there are abmit 18 veins, making 14 : feet of Coal all of, whict. can be reached atifrom 200 td 1000 feet from the' surface. In the Southern 'Bitsins,there arfrom 25 to 2,7 veins, (if, tile White and Otey Ash: veins, underlie thelted . Ash, which iL is now generally conceded they do) all of which can be reached in a shaft, varying fron 200 to "2000 feet. ' ' • Now, the reader must rementherlthatit is not necessary to sink Shafts immediately, to the entire depth of .the Basins—partieularly in the Southern sections of the U loons: None but an insane person', patty speculator,) would ever dreatiof such a project. If Mr.: Fisher's e l stimi►te of the number of veins is correct, wfd.htive:itherfact that in a depth of' 2000 feet, 27 veinkOf Coal would be penetrated,. atnmintingin ttie aggre- 1 gate thickness to 150 feet of Coal4rOvidedi they continue of the same thickneo at this depth, as they are at the points firsKoPened. To sink Shafts in the Southern_ *Sins, of ... course the first vein struck wcialtl ba' .; .worked, and the Shaft continued to the 1141. The proceeds of the working of the firkt would pay for oinking the Shaft Ito thy; second vein, and then that . conld be Iworked Also.— The Shaft could thus prOgrss ;gradually as the wants of the CAEery required, i4td all the expenses . paid out of the proceeds ofßhe reats, with but a picderate outlay at the eli:!nmence ,, meat. The upper:veios r must be worked ou first; irangways driven from; theirand th breasts worked up, to run o 4 airlutits, • 1 these air shafts would be driven up4roin.one vein to the other, as the different:Xeins are worked. This is, the only.feasibliP plan b), which the Southern Coal Basin can be worked - - - - by means of Shafts—and there is 4 greater necessity for the incorporation oledmpanies to sink Shafts than there is fOr sinliihig Slopes! 4,• The enormous expense is magnified. by spec 7 ulators and stock jobbers, 'and theSo gentle) meu can 1111$ify •as glibly (and mans of them consider themselves respectabli; tU&) as dui ganibler who wheedles one doit of . 134 1 s money by false cards at a faro liatik. . • The expense of Shafting is 111) . 04 $2OO a yard, in this }legion. an 'Opera* of thl Schuylkill Valley inform - 1 us a.Tew days since, that he had'offers 'to sink of,Shact at $7O a ynrd—the Operator faiding',v:Oythiligf such as pumps, dc. llis'estimate . ,i, that the Shalt; prepared for - taking oti l .t Coaliiindepen dent ,of the outside machinery, willo r st him about $2OO a yard.

JOURNAL,] INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICTS TWcart•ektf the I,l•atractril delay in the payment of the: State appropriation - As the !several School districts are gientlyr in want of their ieiipective shares of the State Ap propriation, and4is the Directors have complied with the law in every particular, to entitle them to it, it is hut proper and just that all should - be infOrmial why it is still: withhehl. I have ;spent_ considerable time, and written a number or lettiirs in order to obtain the desired informatiUn: but find those really in fault are'no longer connected; with the office tai whichthe error is chargeable. By an examination of the records, - in the School department at Harrisburg. I find that one inde pendent district, has„apparently, been receiving the iappropriation of the whole township, when. that, amount should have been divided among few different districts in that township. Some districts receive a lioulde share of• the appropriation, from the fact that they are independent dirtrictis under special' nnmcs, and still retain the name of the township I trom which they were taken. Such are twice entered unilie books. Though there are more districts from Schuylkill Cmfrity, enterer} on the books than there are in it, :yet there : is, one which ht S never 'been entered. Some, therefore, receive , much more than their and other's receive much less. This must result from the neglect of duty on the,part some one, and it cannot he amiss to find' l'whose door the fault lies. Let,it he understood that an independent dis trict. is rdie erected by special Act of Legislature, out: of tt , , part ; of one, or parts of two or tours' toWnshipii. One independent district in Schuyl kilo-.:ounty is composed of the parts of four dif ferebt adjoining townships. A. rcytt/ar School district i,i of township limits. The law provides that Axmem.rs shall return the number of taxables in the respective School ,dis trie'ts. Assessors are not elected for school .dis tricts, but fur entire townships and it would he a very difficult task for them to separate the list of inxahles into threettr four different classes, de noting the Sehtiol•distriet to'which they.behing. Pur example IL long township has an indepen dent district in each end, and, a slice taken from one' side hf it, to be incorporated with a part of the;ndjohring township to form a third, while the 'remaining portion constitutesl fourth district. The difficulty an A . ssessor - Would, experience in this case, maybe imagined when we take into consideration the zigzag lineteby which such dis tricts are separated, and that many persons,thnugh jhey know what township they are in,,are at a loss to know 'the name of the School district. Hence theSe officers, or some of theM, meeting with these, similar, Cr worse difficulties, have abandoned this 'Part of 'their duty, and the consequence is; no part of Our appropriation can be paid Until the number of. taxahles, iMelich district, and the townships of which they form a part, are ascertained, • 'To effect this, the Deputy Superiiitendent, Coun ty Clerk and myself have all joined our:effort& and though some advances towards that end have been made, yet things may be said to be in ittatu quo. . . It is h:opod however, that two ur three weeks at most, will find them in their 'right shape, and war rants for the appropriation in the hands of every School district Treasurer.

NKIV YORK, April 17th, MIS. j. DKM; JOKRNAL :—The deed is done—the fact actomplished. As far as legislative action and. gu, ormitiiiial signature is concerned, the Liquor Law is a tangible reality—with all' its evils and objections—with all its benefits and advantages it stands part and parcel of the statutes of the Em pitle State. ' . We are now to witness the afterplay—the exer • tions which will strenuously be made , to annul its action. ! Already we see the throes of convulsive efforts Upon every side. Notito of a bill provi ding foe kts repeal has alrpdy been introduced in to our Legislature—it has been suggested that in-' junetions should he served on all the judiciary of the ,State, restraining them from rendering any dehision uuddr the law, until its constitutionality AMR have been tested. The Liquor' interest of our own city, have determined to continue their sales'in, opposition to the law, and to test its valid ity in the highest tribunals of the land. The law has' aroused the Americanism, if we may so call is, of .vast numbers—men Who seldom drink ium, but who look upon any o attempt to force abstinence down their throats, asi an. abridg ment of those libertil) .
