FROM WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, March 16-Both sides of the
Boston Post Office question were argued before
Postmaster General Holt to-day, but the deci-
sion was reserved. Mr. Capen was absent
from the discussion, in consequence of indis-
position.
The President is still inclined to call an ex-
ira session, though he is opposed by most of
the Cabinet, and especially by Secretaries
Cobb and Thompson. He told Senator Gwin
recently that proclamation would be issued
on the 18th inst, calling session on the 22d
of August. Mr.. Holt makes this positive
condition of his remaining in the Cabinet.
Senators Gwin, Lane, Smith and Clingman,
and Mr.. McKibben, are detained here, await
ing the decision.
Lieut.. Mulin is ordered to the Pacific to su-
perintend the construction of military road
from Fort Benton, on the Upper Missouri, to
Walla Walla, on the Columbia, for which Con-
gress appropriated 100000. 1t is to pene-
trate the heart of the country which has been
the scene of Indian hostilities recently. When
peace shall be better assured, Gen. Harvey
will relinguish the command there and return
East.
The impression now prevails here that the
Grand Jury will find bill against Mr.. Butter
worth, as an accessory to Mr.. Sickles.
The examination of the Sckles case before
the Grand jury has taken new turn, and
may occupy week more. 1t was the wish of
Mr.. Sickles' counsel to have pro .torma in
dictment from the Grand Jury, and to leave
the facts to be developed before the Court.
Such was also the public expectation. The
course pursued by some one or two members
of the jury, in assuming dictatorial position,
and becoming public prosecutors, understand,
aroused counter feeling, and quite a scene
occurred in the Grand Jury room yesterday.
The Jury have now determined to investigate
the whole case, and l have good reason to be-
ieve that great diversity of opinion exists in
the body as to the propriety of finding any bill.
Mr. Butterworth's case has also been exam
med into Senator Gwin, Governor Walker,
Mr.. Gould, and Mr. Woodbridge were to-day
examined by the Grand Jury, and fully cor
roborated Mr.. Butterworth's statements. 1
learn that the Jury are almost unanimous for
exculpating Mr.. Butterworth on the testimony
of the witnesses examined to-day, and the
same evidence has made decided impression
on the jury favorable to Mr.. Sickles.

the same marts, and working in the same
shops; dependent for their interests and their
prosperity on a tolerant and pacific forbearance
of conflicting opinions, religious jealousies are
not only absurd, but they are criminal. I'm
der government, theoretically perfect with
laws as good as those of any other land, aud
executed with equal vigilance and fidelity, eve
~ clamor against class or sect, on account of
matters of faith, should be suppressed by what
ever means virtuous public sentiment can
command.
We are not infue iced or prejudiced by any
sympathy with Catholicism. As Protestants, we
have a certain and abiding faith in the purity
and the vitality of that system ofreligion which
IN three centuries has carried its victorious arms
into every land over which the good God dis
penses light and fertility, Catholicism, if not
quickened into activity by abuse and persecu-
ton, will soon be absorbed by the more en-
lightened genius of Professionalism. Its obser-
vances and its superstitions are medieval and
not modern. Its only alternative is to be
modernized or destroyed. But it never can be
done-it never ought to be done by those
weapons of warfare whose cangor has Jared
upon our ears during the past week. Con-
silence will never be shaken by insults. No
system of belief can be weakened by abuse.
No faith can be overthrow by falsehood. If
Professionalism expects to win any laurels from
this contest, its oracles must learn to be truth
full and magnanimous.

no ADVERTIsERs ,
WORDS INTRODUCTORY.

A new publishers name appears in the pa
per to-day and the recent proprietors have
announced to theJfeaders ofthe Spy, that there
has been a change in the proprietorship of this
establishment; that the individual whose name
now takes the place of theirs, has purchased
it, and viii hereafter be responsible for the
publication and management of the paper.
Iii customary for the new man, under such
circumstances, to make large declaration of
his views and intentions, reeite an editorial
profession OF faith, display his programme,
and seem withal, as loftily patriotic, and as
noby wise, truthful, and selfsacrifcing as
possible. We shall not attempt to follow this
fashion 1t is not very admirable; and more
over, it is everywhere noticeable, that in the
long run, men are judged, not by what they
say, but by what they do.
Yet it can not be amiss to assure our read
ers that the Spy will continue to be an unvary-
ing advocate of Repubicansm. 1t is our be-
lief, that our friends and acquaintance, in
Worcester and elsewhere, will not be likely to
entertain much doubt on this point. Never
theless, the Spy will not be exclusively or
chiefly political journal AS things go in
this country, politics and politicians get more
prominence than they deserve. There are
many other things quite as worthy of atten-
ton; and we hope to preserve very distinct
and earnest consciousness of this fact. Besides
local and general intelligence, literature, art,
education, farming, gardening, and other top
les, viii demand attention; each must have its
appropriate space in a high toned family news
paper and beyond this, such newspaper
must be much more than a mere follower of
opinion. These views of the duties of jour-
nalism will regulate our work on this paper.
But we forbear to make declarations and
promises, for we and the readers of the Spy
will ere long be much better acquainted with
each other.
Worcester has always seemed to us a most
desirable place for permanent residence; we
have usually found our views of general poll
tics very much in harmony with the great ma
jority of the people Of this section ofthe State;
and these considerations, with others, have led
us to purchase THE Spy establishment.~.-W.
ask the friendship and friendly indulgence of
those among EhoRad-we are to live and work.
II III be our aim to establish friendly relations
with them and, as we do not believe, with
Mohammedans, that paradise is under the
shadow of swords" but, instead, hold the
Christian doctrine concerning love and good
will we hope to succeed in this aim.

PERSONAL INTELLIGENCE.

The True Delta of New Orleans says that
Gen. Cass is to go out of Office, and that the
Hon. John Slidell, "who, although past the
sunny side of seventy, still wears his castor
jauntiy, and cracks unsavory jokes with as
much gusto as many young bloods of less than
half his span of life" is to be his successor.
The Rev. DIR. Gannett of Boston preached
last Sunday the last sermon that will ever be

ticut River railroad, sails for Russia early in
April to show her railroad managers how to

months,
The N. Y. Herald says that Sickles being
politically laid aside for time, Fernando
Wood will again control Tammany, Sickles
being the only man that could check-mate
him. If such are the masters, what are the
men.
1t is understood at Washington that Sim

PROGRESS WESTWARD. - There are few
persons who realize the rapidity with which
the railroad is extending its iron arms beyond
the great Mississippi In addition to the Han
nibal and St Joseph road, now completed, the
Pacific railway of Missouri is already finished
to point within hundred and fifty miles of
the Kansas border, and will probably reach
the territory within a year and half Three
parallel roads across the State of Iowa, from
the Mississippi to the Missouri, are located,
have received liberal donations of public land,
and are now being constructed. The middle
one, from Burlington to Council Bluffs and
Omaha, will probably be completed within two
years and half. In short time, therefore,
Missouri and Iowa alone will have five great
trunk lines of railway from the Mississippi to
Kansas and Nebraska; and lines leading in the
same direction across the state of Minnesota
are also provided for. The path of empire is
before them, and the man who doubts that
something definite and practical towards Civ
ing all these routes an outlet to the Pacific
will soon be done, is certainly behind the age.
The telegraph is in advance of them. Already
it is completed to Leavenworth city; and the
intervening line to San Francisco, which is
being pushed rapidly forward, is under con-
tract to be completed in season to transmit the
Presidents message, at the opening of the
next session Of Congress, across the continent,
from ocean to ocean.
