Tho Church and tho Judiciary.

IL appears that Professor Bronson the editor of
Catholic journal in New York is opposed to tho
"Dred Scott" decision Of the supreme Court touch
ing the rights Of negrocs--and he even sharply re
proves Chict Justice fancy, who is himself IA
Catholic. for thus making his obligation to tho
lazy superior to his obligation to his religion 1t
is certainly aeurious doctrine. that Judge upon
the Supreme Bench, because he happens to be
Catholic, must decide questions according to the
dogmas of the Church-but, yet. this strange and
dangerous idea is openly nvowel by the journal
above alluded 10. Here is it's language:
We regret. that i'll giving the opinion of the
Court. the learned Judge Tnncy did not recolrct
what hc is taught by his religion. namely the
unity OF the race, that nl men by the natural law

been considerable, and his familiarity with af-

one term-no man having been e-elected since
1882, or nominated for reelection since 1910
has made the Presidentia. question perma-

FOURTH OF July.

The Cd inst, Saturday, was generally OBJ
served in Bedford, in celebrating cur national
anniversary. The Bedford Rfem en-, snd the
Engine Company, made a very good display
The Riaemen, after paradiag, proceeded to the
Hotel of Mr.. John Hafer, where the Declara-
tion was read IN clear and distinct manner, !,
BY r. ID. Barclay, Esq. Johu II. Filler, Esq,
then delivered an Grafton. Mr. Filler is a
popular and brilliant orator, and his Grafton
was one Of the best We have ever heard, abound
ing 10 deep research, and an intimate acquaiD-
:ance with our early national history. Hefu-
ly sustained his bigh reputation as an orator,
and all we're delighted and instructed with his
effort.
The soldiers and citizens then sat down to
one of the best repasts ever set before the peo-
pie of our town. Mr.. Hafer, in getting up af-
fairs of this kind. Cannot be surpassed.
After the ceremonies and dinner were over.
the Rifiemen proceeded to the Springs, where,
by invitation Of the President and managers,
they partook Of some refreshments, and then re-
turned to town and we're dismissed. There was
no drunkenness, quarrel ing, or accidents to
mar the pleasures of the day.

BoARDINa HousEs.-To visitors TO the
Springs, who prefer boarding in town, We have
some of the very best boarding houses in the
country. The large private boarding house of
Mrs. Filler, is one of the best regulated and
attended TO, to be found anywhere She spares
no pains to render her guests comfortable
The Hotels of Mrs. Cook, and Messrs. Hafer,
Steckman, Horton and Brice, are all we'll con-
Quoted, every want of the visitor attended to,
and they are capsule OF accommodating large
number of guests. In fact, we believe there
is no other town in the State better supplied
with good hotels.

A DEVIL INoABNATE.-A wretch, named
Arnold, murdered bis wife hear Jessalnine,
Kentucky, last week, under circumstances of
horrid brutality. She had left him for his cruel
treatment aud instituted suit for divorce and
alimony against him. He watched her one
day as she went with another lady to pick
strawberries, and followed her-demanding
that the suit should be withdrawn. lie then
threatened TO kill her, and drew a revolver,
when the woman in company fed Horror
stricken, she promised to live with him. He
replied by telling her that she was lying, aud
Immediately 6red ut htr temple. She instantly
sprang to him and begged for mercy. He re-
fused. She then appealed for time to pray for
her murderer.
This boon was granted, and brief time
spent in prayer for her husband, her children
and herself. Arnold then grasped her With
one arm, inexorable to all her supplicatons for
mercy, fired at her three times, eaoh ball taking
effect in The head. The face was most fright
fully dis6gured by the wound and powder from
the pistol. Not content with this, the incar-
nate iend mutilated her person with knife,
and then piling brush upon it, left the scene
Meanwhile, the woman who fled told the
story, and Arnold was pursued aud arrested Mt
his mothers houso in the act of writing his
will.

WELL SAID The Harrisburg Telegraph
refused to publish communication from cor.
respondent, recommending a candidatefor Office
and makes the following very appropriate re-
marks
"We feel disposed 10 oblige any of our
friends, political or otherwise; bot We cannot
lend our columns or influence TO any mans
political interests who is too penurious to pat
rou:ze Journal of his party, although both
wealthy and ambitious. There is too great a
disposition on the part of politicians to make
of journals stepping-stones to political favor,
without thought of the patronage which is
necessary to give power to the influence they
invoke. Indeed, nine-tenths of those who
glide into position up the waves of politics, do
it through the influence of their local journals,
to which they have scarce contributed the
pittance Of years subscription. They seem
TO think it is duty which journal owes to
every individual constituting party, to fur
ther their claims, without thought of recipro-
cal obligations which the assumed position of
each imposes"

THE NEXT PRESIDENT.

Below we copy an article on this subject from
the Danville Democrat,
Several leading papers, we observe, have
suggested the name of Gen. Cameron. Of this
State. in connection with he uext Presidency.
They do so on the ground, that he combines the
elements Of strength and availability needed
to carry us through the election successfully.
and that his personal popularity will secure the
"Old keystone" for the Opposition IN 1860,
as did MI. BuchaDan's s in 1856 for tile Delnoc-
racy.
There is much force in this suggestion
Pennsylvania was the battle ground Ia the last
Presidential campaign. Every inch was hotly
contested Money, labor, and all the oratori-
cal powers that could be commanded. were
brought into requisition from every State in
the Union, to inference the vote of Pennsylva-
ma and all, too. for the obvious reason. that
without Pennsylvania neither party could be
victorious. But notwithstanding these extra
ordinary efforts of tho Democi acy, the personal
popularity of Mr.. Buchanan, coupled with
natural aud commendable State prjde. was.
after all, the great lever by which the victory
was obtained. Ii this was the case with Mr..
buchanan, how more can we expect similar
result with Mr. Cameron, whose personal pop
uiArity among tho people is proverbial, and
whose whole life has been devoted 10, and
identified with the interests of the muses.
Tins IS clearly shown BY bis repeated successes
over party rules in his election to the United
States Senate. Besides, he has always been
the unwavering friend of protective tariff,
which question will again enter prominently
lnie the next Presidential contest. Under
these circumstances, we are not surprised that
bis name is brought forward in influential quar-
ters for the high Office of Chief Magistrate Of
the Repuolic-for, With Cameron in The lead.
