THE CATHOLIC QUESTION.

We copy the following from the Journal %
Commerce, on the subject Of The Catholic diff
ierences, In relation to the School Fund. IL may
De supposed TO imbody, pretty fairly, not only the
opinion and evidence Of the case on the spot, but
VIII probably give the proper tone to public sen
liment generally, on this subject, not only in
New York, but throughout the Union.
There Is every disposition on the part Of our citizens
to concede to the Catholics the full measure of their
rights and IN point of fact there is other class of
voters who, IN proportion their number have been
allowed greater influence in election matters. But
when they come forward in their secaran character
at the tail of their Bishop and demand exclusive pryi
ieges, or privileges which, if conceded other sects
would at once break up the most impartial, thorough
and efhclent common school system which the world
affords 1t is time to pause and what We are com
ing TO-
The public mind is at length aroused, and thou
SANDS are ready to YIELD at once if necessary their
party preferences to head OFF, movement so sinis-
ter and audacious.
II is understood that all the Wing candidates, both
for the Senate and Assembly are favorable to the ex
isting School system"

NEW YORK ELECTION.

The thrilling contest is over but we have only re-
ceived partial accounts of its results.
We take the following returns and comments from
the Journal Of Commerce. While the Journal, how
ever, makes the Opposition majority but 3d. the New
York Herald makes it 246; the Evening Post 800;
The New Era 1872; The Tribune ia The Express
"a; the Courier and Enquirer $50; and the Standard
all "cock- a-hoop" 2l3 Truth may lay between
In this city, according to present appearances, ne-
Their party has much to boast Of Only the votes for
Senators were canyassed last evening. The annexed
is correct statement of the result able to
furnish. 1t shows an apparent majority Of So for the
Opposition. The official returns may make it larger
possibly may throw the balance on the olher side.
We here speak of the vote in this city But it to
be remembered that the First Senate District includes
also Kings county and Richmond. In those counties
the Senatorial vote not counted last night The
Wigs of Kings claimed small majority for Senators
in that county, while in Richmond there is doubtless
small majority for the Opposition candidates. Ac-
cordng to present information the greater chance
IS that one if not both the Opposition candidates
elected.

THE GLOBE--INCREASE OF EXECUTIVE
PATRONAGE, &c.

The Globe, as it will be perceived. by its columns,
published the Letter List of the City Post Office!
We really felt quite curious--not to say jealous
to know how our inyeterate Wing friends brought
about so remarkable conversion We began to feel
the most respectable alarm for the increase Of Erec
lire patronagef We really began to fancy we saw
'Mordecai at the Kings gate" But it turns out, af
ter ALL that the Globe has only turned the tables up
on the Executive, by publishing the LetterList GRA

sonian, nor its master, to trouble themselves in
any degree abou, it. They were able and will
ling to assume all the responsibility themselves
Well the result Of the election pretty distinct
y shows how great the responsibility" Of the

THURSDAY, Nov. A, 3 P. NJ.
WELL, Allen, we Wings Gncludng you or
not, just as you please) are a threshedout PEG
pie. Our State election closed last night and
already we have returns enough to show that
the Assembly is gone, by at least t,oo to one
(Last year &c Wing to 81 Loco) The Senate
is still in doubt, but fear it will be all of a
piece.
Here we might have carried all we chose, but
some of our friends would not take the trouble
to vote and so the gallant exertions of $4,000
genuine Whigs-who do their own voting
were destroyed by the apathy Of 1900 who vote
when their dinner sits just right on the stomach,
or when they fear that they may not have good
one tomorrow without change of policy.
In this city, aided by local question, we have
done comparatively we'll ! think we have car
ried one Senator and three Representatives BY
handful Of votes-say 100 in over 100000. If
we had both Senators, we should save that
branch, and may without, but | fear we shall

THE VETO ANALYZED.

Let US bring the VETo, by way Of experiment,
TO the analysis of the Constitution
"Anicle l. Section v. A majority Of each Housed
SHAH constitute quorum for doing business"
The Senate consists of SO members, and
majority Of this number is therefore 81. The
House consists Of 242 members, and majority
is consequently 1913. These majorites consti-
tute quorum.
Any bill, therefore, passed by an affirmative
vote of IA Senators, and 81 Representatives,
possesses all the requisites and formalities of
the Constitution and nothing remains to give
II the sanction of law, but the approval Of the
President. And what now becomes his duty 2
"Article l. Section VII. me APPROVE he
shall sign it, but If NOT he SHALL return il ,oit,
his objections TO thai House in a0he il shall hare ori-
ginated."
Here ends the duty Of the President but not
so the duty of the two Houses. And now.
what becomes the duty Of the House in which
it originated
Art. !. Sec VII THAT Housed shall enter the
objections al large their Journal and proceed to re-
consider e. ~ after such reconsideration tpo thirds
Of that House shall agree pass the BILL il shall be
sent together with the objections 10 the other House
by which it shall likewise be reconsdered and il APP
proved by tiro-hrds of that House il shall become
law. But in all such cases the votes of both Houses
shall be determined by yeas and nays, and the names
Of the persons voting for and against the bill shall be
entered on the Journal Of each House respectively "
Thus it appears by the Constitution, that a
bill may become the supreme law of the land,
after having passed each House by barely ma
jority of the quorum for doing business" pro-
vided it is "approvedn by the President: and il
will also become law by having been passed BY
a majority of two-thirds of this quorum in
spite of all the Presidents objections
Thus law may be passed by barely one
fourth Of the members of each House in the
one case, and barely one-third in the other
Thus Of the House, majority Of 242 is
1873; and a majority of 1873, 62--and "iwo-
thirds" of 1873 is SO. Of the Senate, quorum
is 81; and majority is Ia; and two-thirdsn
Of the quorum" IS.
So a bill, after it is retoed, may become
law by the votes of IS Senators, and SO Repre-
sentatives,--one- third of each of the Houses.

Poughkespsis and Fshkill are the largest towns In

the HERO OF CHIPPEWA in THE FIELD

A circular letter addressed by the gallant Com
manding General of the U. 5. Army to those Of
his numerous friends who desire TO make HIM a
candidate for the Presidency, we copy to-day
from the Globe, in which il yesterday made IFS
first public appearance.
To the inquiry, nominated as a candi-
date for ne Presidency, mould you accept the
nomination. the General begs leave very re-
specially to reply promptly and frankly YES"
The General, therefore, may be considered as
fairly entered upon the course for The Presidency
OF these United States. The Globe leads the
attack upon him.

RATES OF INTEREST AMONG THE HIN.
DOOS

The rates OF interest among this ancient peo-
pie, appears by the following scale 10 be regu-
lated by classes, and according to the estimate
of risks, ranging from Is per cent. to 60 per an
num-from one and a quarter, to fire per cent.
month. No honest pursuits in this country
will justify even the minimum of this rate and
wherever the maximum is offered, it will be
found, that the borrower has retained the prn-
cipal as an Offset to the extorton of the inte-
rest.
No people can prosper without wise and just
restriction and penalties against usury: and
every well regulated Government has made it a
point 10 guard the rights Of its citizens and sub
jects against the extorton Of the usurer
We think it would be found upon examina-
ton, that good portion Of the enormous sus-
pended debts" of the late extensive gambling
house, "Nick" named I" the Bank of The United
States" was loaned out to sHAvERs for the very
purpose of shaving, with perhaps an inuendo,
that, if they could not shave the public suffici-
emily, they might as well, while their hand was
in, share The stockholders! And if the last
"returns" from the National Barber's shop may
be relied upon, the poor stockholders have been
shaved out of their very last farthing
Thus it may be found, that the note shaver's
razor is t,co-edged, and it may in its turn shave
alike the barber as well as his customer.
And now for the Hindoo shaving scale
Rates of Interest among the Hndoos "A lender
of money may take in addition to his capital and
a quarter per cent month"; if he have security. If
he have security, he may take t,oo per cent a
month. He may take in proportion TO the risk, and
in the direct order of the classes two per cent a
month from priest, three per cent. month from a
soldier, four from merchant, five from mechanic,
but more than five per cent as interest by the
month.

Amongst the deaths occasioned at 81. Au-
gustine, Florida by the prevailing fever there,
of which intelligence has just reached US, we
regret to notice that Of JAcoB Brown, Esq, son
Of the late gallant Major General Brown. We
observe that il is enormously stated that this gen
tIeman was Paymaster in the army. He was
only temporarily employed to pay militia and
volunteers, and there is no r"cessity for a new
appointment TO supply his place,

SINGULAR DEArH.-A remarkable case Of death
from excessive physical irritation occurred at Fam
ingham a few days since. A young man named
Henry Coolidge OF that place having shaved the lace
Of his dead father previous TO the nterment OF the
corpse soon after applied the same razor to his own
face Although his father had died natural death,
and nothing all remarkable had been observed in
his manner OF decease the face and head ofhe son be-
gan swell almost Immediately after having finished
the operation Of shaving and in short time he was
himself corpse Such cases Of extreme irritation,
though rare not unprecedented although the ex-
PLANTATION of such phenomena is by no means easy;
In the present the absorption OF virus by the dead
body seems almost impossible though there is no other
manner in which at all satisfactorily account
for the violent irritation which followed the OF the
razor and its fatal elecls.-Nsp Bsdford Gag.

utmost Importance, all admit greatly involving the
welfare of the People, and therefore making the
strongest appeal to the intelligence and patriotism OF
the Exeeutive-an Imperative appeal to his sense OF

responsibility the President instead OF displaying "the
highest order of moral courage which enables the pos
SCISSOR to contemn the mputaion of the want of it,
would have betrayed the very reverse.

PROSPECTUS.

The undersigned having purchased a control
ling interest in the MADIsoNIAN, proposes to issue
a DAILY PAPER from this office on or about the
18th of December.
The paper will be devoted to the support of
such constitutional measures as the interests of
the People may demand-and from what has
been seen Of the purposes Of President Tyler's
Administration, there is every reason to believe
that such measures only are in contemplation by
the present head Of the Government.
We propose to labor for the entire restoration
of the pure doctrines and faithful practices Of
the founders of our Republic-not TO battle for
the mere exaltation of partisan dictators. To
advocate those principles Of our patriotic fathers
which were altogether designed to ensure the
prosperity and happiness ofthe Confederacy, in
their original purty-not to tear down the mo-
dern fabrics of demagogues to erect p.destals
for other ambitious and dishonest aspirants. In
Short it is our design to pursue the RIGHT, alike
needless ofparty names and party interests, and
to expose the WRONG, emanate from what men
or in what sections it may. But it is far from
our intention ever to indulge in wanton and
vulgar abuse. Yet we will not suffer the men
and measures we advocate to be unjustly as
persed, and wrongfully assailed, with impunity
Heartily approving the independent course
pursued by the President during the late extra
ordinary session of Congress- it shall be our en-
deavor, at fitting period, to place before the
public all the circumstances connected with the
origin and fate of the two Bank bills.
That the DAILY MADlsoNrAN may merit the
support of the community indscriminatey, the
undersigned is resolved to bringto his assistance
literary talent that can be secured. In aid Of
this purpose, an able and experienced European
correspondent Situated at Bremen) has been
engaged to transmit to us by the steamers every
fortnight the most comprehensive accounts OF
the state and progress Of things in the old
prise, we trust, will be duly appreciated by our
subscribers.
As the only Administration Journal in the
District of Columbia, publishing, officially, the
proceedings of the Government, and cherishng
and defending honestly and earnestly the prin-
ciples upon which the public acts of President
Tyler have thus far been founded, we may, we
trust, justly calculate upon no inconslderable
share at least of the support Of that very com
prehensive body Of our fellow-citizens who are
the friends of good and faithful Government
