CLEvER.-Bro. Ragan having been ap-
pointed City Clerk, pro tenn, publishes
city ordinances m his own journal exclu-
sively. Query i'm doing so, whose in
terest is the best subserved, the interest
Of the city, or Bro. Ragan's mush pot ?
The above is from the Steubenville
Daily Herald of the 30th ult.
We have merely to say in reply that,
as Clerk of the city council, we had no
authority either to publish an ordinance
or to employ any other person to do so.-
Afer the passage of little ordinance by
the council on Monday the 2sth ult., and
after the council had adjourned, we were
requested by the president of the council
10 take possession of the ordinance and
publish it. We placed it in type and i'm.
media,ely returned it to the city marshal.
This is the ground of Mr.. Allison's COM
plant. As this question involves one OF
Mr.. Allison's great principles, upon
which he is more sensitive than perhaps
almost any other in the entire range Of
morals or politics, we forbear saying any
thing more upon it, hoping that the above
explanation will be satisfactory.

HIGHLY IMPORTANT FROM MEXICO
The most important intelligence received
from Mexico for many years, is that the
prese Government having conquered
the rebels at Puebla, has commenced the
confscation of the church property
The New York Post says:
1t is impossible to say which is the
exact or even the approximate value of
the property thus con6scated. Some au-
thorilies set down the whole ecclesiasti-
cal property of Mexico as high as 400
millions Of dollars-altheugh it is said
that one.fourtk of the whole is unproduc-
tive. This vast wealth yields the clergy
an annual income Of about twelve millions
of dollars. The church establishment,
thus supported, consists Of The Archbish-
op of Mexico and nine Bishops, whose
aggregate income amounts to $539, 900.
The number Of the parochial clergy is g.
GIT.
There are ulso 10 ca,hedrals, having
1853 canons and other dignitaries, and one
collegiate church. The regular clergy
comprises 1878 monks, chiefly Francis.
.
can, and there are l59 converts.
Ecclesiastical property in Mexico has
hitherto been free from taxation and the
management Of all property bequeathet
to the church for pous uses, such for in
stance as raising chapels, and saying mas
ses for the souls of the donors, has alway'
been in the hands Of the clergy. 1t il
more especially this last species Of church
property, estimated by Baron Humboldt
some 80 years ago, to be worth $40, 900
which it is intended at present to confs
cate. The greater part Of this vast prop
erty is administered by ChapIains, VIII
perform no parochial duties whatever
DR.. Jose Mora, one Of the most intelli
gent men in Mexico, thought that Hum
boldt had underraled the extent of thes
donations, which he estimated at nea
: eighty millions Of dollars.

For the True American.
LITTLE EMMA.

Sweet little Emma Can it be that she
is dead! remember well when first !
saw her, she was lovely even then. All,
we did not dream when first we welcomed
the little stranger, how soon the precious
gift would be recalled. No, we were hap
py, for little Emma grew more beautiful
day by day. She was q pet and ploything
for us all. Months passed.; each day she
grew more interesting, and we loved her
more and more. But,
"The rose that sweetest doth awake
Will soonest 60 to rest"
Our little Emma sickened. 1t was fear
full to see the lily chase the rose from her
cheek, the smile vanish from her rosy lip,
and the light fade from her laughing eye.
At last the fearful truth revealed itself;
little Emma was dying. No human aid
could reach her. By her little cradle bed
stood father and mother, brother anj d
sister too, were there, and other friends
but they could only smooth her pillow, and
watch and pray. I hey could not turn aside
the destroyer.
And she died. Very gently the deatl
angel carried home our little lamb; ther,
was no fearful struggle, calmly and sweet
ly she died. So they closed her eyes, fold
ed the little hands ov er the pulseless hear
and Emma was gone. Gone to heaven
Sweet little Emma we shall miss thee
Yes, there will be an empty crib, an unnat
ural silence in the house, an aching vol,
in our hearts. Yes, it is bitter cup, ye
it is well; we'll for thee, Sweet Emma
Angel Emma, now. You loved music OF
earth, you will hear sweet music in heav
en-. You suffered pain on earth, you will
be happy in heaven. And it is we'll fo
! us I'VE shall have moreireasures in heaven
one tie less 10 bind us to earth. A sti
. small voice will whisper. that we mus
live so as TO meet the above. Angel En-
ma! God grant tbatull WHO knew and lo'
ed thee here may know and love thee i
heaven. .,u..
