The ARMY Bill AND THE NEW ENGLAND STATES.
There is no doubt of the fact that the loss of the
army appropriation bill would have been severely felt
in the New England States. The Boston Times, in
an article on the subject, says:
"Among the most important items in the Army
Supply Bill are those for clothing and the arnores
For the former, merchants in New England are ex-
tensive contractors. Hundreds of thousands of dol
lars reach the new England States annually in re-
turn for the clothing which the backs of
national soldery. Blankets, for tents, etc.,
also enter largely into this branch of army supplies
And there is not person in the manufacture of cot
an interest in keeping open this extensive market
for their labor-a market that is sure pay, and in
good round golden eagles, too.
Those who have read the government advertise
ments soliciting proposals for the supply of this des
cription of goods for the army will have formed
some idea of the magnitude of tho business, and of
the value it is to New England people. Scarcely a
blanket protects and warns United States soldier
but is of New England manufacture scarcely a
thread of cotton or wooden cloth worn by him but
is of New England manufacture-and last, but not
least the making up of scarcely article of rament
that is worn by United States soldier but has given
employment to Industrious and worthy men and
women in the New England States. In the aggreg-
ate, the number of people in New England employed
in the making of garments alone is immense. For
this labor these people receive pay if not directly
yet indirectly, from the United States treasury and
the moment the vaults of that treasury are closed,
because Congress has refused to pass the usual sup
ply BILL the incentive to and the prospective reward
| for their industry ceases Where there is no money
there is but little workand where there is neither
work pay, distress, with its attendant evils, is
! sure to follow"

CATHOLIC LADY's OPINION OF Col. FREMoNT.--A
correspondent sends us the following account of
late conversation with Catholic lady in this :ity:
81 think Col Fremont is fellow"
"Why?" demanded one of his votaries.
because, while there is such time being made
by the public press on the one side, to prove that
he is Catholic, and OH the other to prove that he
is not, he does not say word to en!ighten those
who are supporting him, perhaps, blindly. Every
body knows he was formerly a Catholic, and if he
has changed his religion belief why does he not
come out tike man and say so? He must have
been Catholic Or else Father Horsleigh would not
have married him. He not the man to violate
a law of his church for Col. Fremont any other
man, and now that the is dead, and can't speak
for himself, Col. Fremont ought to be ashamed to
allow such an inputation to rest upon his memory.
A Catholic priest is allowed to marry two Catholics,
or Catholic and a Protestant-but not two Protes-
tants. Miss Benton was q Presbyterian, and unless
Col. Fremont had been Catholic, Father Horsleigh
would not have married them. 1t is all humbug to
say that all the Protestant ministers in Washington
tons influence.
Father Horsleigh had church on Capitol Hill
it was very retired and was not frequented by the
foreign ministers their suites like the other Cath
Ole churches in the city, and they went there be-
cause there was less probability of any one being
there who would see and recognize them. They got
married in the morning, and Miss Benton returned
home, and it was not known for three months after.
A lady calling upon Mrs. Benton one morning. said
to her, $50 your daughter is married to Mr.. Ere
lnont!" Oh, no." said Mrs. Benton, he was
forbidden the house more than three months ago,
and has not been here since" ''But one of my SER
want girls tells me she was at Father Horsleigh's
church Capitol Hill, about three months past, and
witnessed the ceremony" Inquiry proved that it
was true. Why, everybody knew Mr.. Fremont was
a Catholic then. Why, when his brother died and
left an only child Mr.. Fremont adopted it and put
it to school at Convent in Georgetown, whore he
kept it for several years. and used {, 90 to
it. Yes, and once knew Mr.. Dayton went with
him."
The advocates Of Fremont had very little to say in
reply. N. Y. Daily Nesos

The ORGANS OF THE WoUNDED.-The Fremont
presses alternately and groan their recent
defeat in the House of Representatives. The Boston
Bee says of the passage of the army bill:
"It adds another to the dananing triumphs of the
administration, and carries with it an endorsement
of all the governmental outrages in Kansas"
The Boston atlas bowls out:
The friends of freedom and constitutional liber-
ty in the House of Representatives defeated. God
only knows how Federal bayonets will be pierre
ing Republican bosoms-how soon Federal bullets
will be driven into Republican hearts!"
The Euening Journal says:
The Border Ruffians' rejoice to-day. Congress
has passed the army bill without the proviso forbid
ding United States troops be used to enforce the
Missouri code in Kansas
The Boston Daily AdUertiser says:
The proviso was lost through the absence Of
some of the opponents of the administration, with
out pairing off. Among these the name of Mr. Bur-
lngame is reported. His absence on this occasion
has done more to inure the cause Of constitutional
liberty, than his arm or his tongue could repair in
lifetime, even if he fought duel or made great
speech every day."
The Boston papers follow the cry of the N. Y.
Herald, and denounce the cowardly connivance of
the Republicans by which the bill was permitted to
pass. The Boston At1as says:
"We want Representatives who cannot be fright
ened by the unnecessary discharge from employ
of few operatives by the stale and ridiculous accu-
sation of blocking the wheels of government
The N. Y. Register describes the effects of the
news in that city: ''.-
"The news from Washington yesterday, was per-
fectly stunning to people who have any pluck. 1t
was with the deepest regret that the news was re-
ceved in this city, that there had been "a cavng of
Republican members. We do not know where the
blame rests, but it is a mean business. The Repub.
lcan Honorables of that body cannot be relied on,
when matters come to a crisis There certainly has
been as complete back down we heard Of"
The secret of the "caving in" of the Republicans
is to be found in the fact that the Senate had resol
we'd TO prolong its session till the 4th of March next
rather than fail in it's duty to the country and that
the President, if the Senate had consented to ad-
journ, prepared again to call them into session.
