reduced the immense Republican majority of
lS65, down to a minority, in 1867. Candi-
dates not acceptable to the party or TO the

Of these years. In 1865, the managers Of
ilc iniquity were warned of the danger, by
tie defeat of their candidate for City Com
missioner. They persisted in the same course
and in sG7 were totally overthrown, losing
by their corruptons, not only Philadelphia,
tut the whole State.
Recognizing these facts, and apprcciating
the importance Of the coming campaign, il
is gratifying to observe that the newspapers
referred 10 are speaking plainly and boldly
on the matter. The Epsaing 7eicgraph
concludes an article, thus -
II is ms true as the sun shines that nothing
can elect bad ticket in October. The
newspapers will not again act as they did
last year, and seek to bolster up falling

will he well. II they don't the Republican

The Cn,hoiIcs and the Freedmen.

1t will be recollected that the Roman Cath
Ole plenary council, held in Baltimore a
year or two since, announced that the church
would labor among the freedmen in order to
convert them to that belief. The work was
at once begun and progress is already mani
fest The tide, it is said, is setting with con-
siderable volume toward the Catholic Church
among the freed people Of the south. Ilith-
erto they have been, to the extent of a very
large majority, divided between the Bap-
lists and the Methodists, but from the earn
estness with which the Catholics have en-
tered upon the race, ii is believed that ere
long they will sway the sceptre. AS an evil
dencc of this belief we quote the following
conversation which took place in Baltimore
between Il white Protestant and an intell-
gent colored man. The extract appears in a
Baltimore letter to the Chicago Evouing
journal.
Are the Catholics making many converts
among youi people?
Yes, sir, a good many.
Well how do they effect their object
BY kindness They are doing more in
this city for our people than any other de-
nomination.
Are you Il catholic?
No, sir, but my wife and children are
members of St. Josephs. ] attend there
sojuCtiheS, HcC bhC pliSSb Otttu. uuu
that's how it is know something of what's
going on.
DO they make any distinctions between
the white and colored communicate
No, sir. / have seen them sitting togeth-
er in the pews, and have seen black man
hand the cup to a whRe one, and heard the
priest of st. Josephs say in the pulpit !:
''God made no distinction, and the church
cannot. All here are equal. Whatever
may be the distinction recognize d in social
life, the church is no respccter of persons
Those who do not like this arrangement can
go away
Do your children go 10 Catholic school?
Yes, sir.
1t is y colored school, suppose?
Yes, sir: but could send them to a white
Catholic school if ! wanted to. We have
separate schools, but it's our own choice.
Does the church look after your poor?
Indeed they do, sir. Not ia Catholic color
ed man, woman or child, is allowed to suf-
fer. Every want is soon supplied. They
are very attentive. The Sisters will help
our little girl with her sewing, and the priest
| Is very wcll-mannered TO me
Then You think the Catholics will win a
good many of your people?
l have no doubt of il, sir. You cant
blame US for going where we're treated best,
and we couldn't ask any better treatment
than we get from the Catholics. It's a very
different sort of treatment than what we
have received from the white people hereto

The alarm of fire at about o'clock Thursday,
was sounded TO call the fremen together for
the purpose of sending the steam fire department
to New CASTLE from which place dispatch had
been received announcing a fire beyond the con-
trol Of the people.
Two steam fire engines, the Washington, and
the Fame, were Immediately detailed and sent
to the freight depot, where special train was in
waiting to carry them TO New Castle, but before
they were loaded another dispatch was received
announcing that the fire had been suppressed.
The house on fire was large brick dwelling
near the Stockton House, and it is probable that
the heavy rain falling, together with the fact that
the tin roof, prevented the flames from making
their way through ii. all that saved the house
from total destruction, as it would have been i'm
possible to get the fircmcn there in time to do
inure than save the surrounding property.
New Castle should have Steam Fire appara-
tus, for though the Fire Department of this city
will always doubtless respond promptly to any
call from there for assistance, yet 1t is not posi-
BILE for to furnish aid as promptly as it should
be rendered TO prevent serious loss.
The fire was caused by the house being struck
by lightning. The probable loss is from $1,000 to

at the moment the galloping of cavalry was

shrieks, yels, and discharge of musketry.
"Do not be frightened" said the infantry

went out together, and met Captain Schnegin
on the stairs.

said, "that an attempt has been made tc

JrsT AS WE INT1MATED, few day ago,
the rumors concerning the unpopuarity of
Governor Holden among the North Carroll
ma Republicans, the prospect that he would
be defeated, &c, &c, all comes from one
source, the Goodloc faction of Raleigh. The
Union Republican Congressional Committee,
at Washington, of which General Schenck
is Chairman, have just sent to Governor
Holden letter, in which they they refer in
appropriate terms to the earnest and efficient
services which that gentleman has rendered
and is now rendering in behalf of Recon-
slrucion; affirm their belief that his disa-
bitics will be removed by Congress; and
administer a fitting rcbule to the dsorgan-
izcrs represented by the Raleigh Register.
We trust that Governor Holden and the
North Carolina Republicans will triumph.

CHAPTER XXv.


a BALL All WlLkUVo.
The ball, as regarded extcrnals at least,
was very good ball. The ballroom with
its walls Of white marble, was brilliantly IL
Illuminated and decorated with wrcaths, gar
lands, banners and hangings of various
kinds. Above the arches, which conn .cted
or separated the principal ballroom from the
rooms that open into it, trophies of arms
had been arranged but they were taken
down two hours before the entertainment
began.
The music of a rcgmental band, strength
cned and softcned by some local violins and
yioloncelloes the murmuring of mems
voices; the rusling of silk; and the jing
ling ofspurs. made up the usual symphony
Of the military hall,
The Polish ladies had brought their smiles
with them, and the Polish gentlemen seemed
| to have left their frowns at home.
'sIIe is determined we shall amuse our
selves" whispered one Pole to another.
''Yes, was the reply ''this will be the
bouquet"
son the contrary, it will only be the com
mencement Of the fireworks"
's3ut is not this the reiincmen of cruelty?"

time, warning me not to appear here to-

"Papa also had one sent to him, con-

that was partly the reason why he persisted
in giving the ball"
"Don't ferget that you are the hostess

"Good evening, general; you arc late.

great deal at the countess.
The countess could not help smiling at
the builoonery Of the remark, intended for a
rejoinder in the style of Marivauy: and the
general of cavalry for the moment felt
happy.
'Ah!' said Nathalie, .'here comes Captain
Lobtchinski, and Captain Schnegin with
him. They are sure to ask us to dance"
But the countess walked away, and Natha
lie made her duties as hostess an excuse fol

man on the Delaware road gave him.

TIE REPUBLIC4N PARTY rs
"REVOL U7IONARY"
Rascality must be audacious. Political
rascality, in this country, always has been
so. From the earliest days of the Republic
the party which advocated slavery as the
best condition for all laborers, and with this
fundamental principle sought to overthrow
all forms Of civil liberty, has been impudent,
audacious, and violent 1t has never been
turned aside in its Course by scruplcs of
conscientious or patriotic character. Ii has
sought to accomplish its ends by the most
revolutionary and treasonablc methods.
When we remember that this party repealed
the Missouri Compromise; atten pied by tie
most lawess means to force slavery into the
Western Territories and finally organized
II rebellion to destroy the Republic, because
it had been defeated at the ballot-box; it is
not difficult to conclude that revolutionary
and violent oxpedients to obtain or preserve
power are the natural weapons Of the Demo-
cratic party.
On the other hand, the Republican party
has been always faithful To the Republic
Rising, first, to repel the advances over
Free Soil of the unnatural monster which
had Matched out, wherever it obtained a
n resting place, so foul n brood of social and
political vices, il preserved the vital prnci-
Pile upon which the government was found
ed and when the great Treason burst forth
=
in an armed effort, the unity of the Republic
was saved by its almost nnailcd efforts.
The Republican party has hccn and Is, truly
Conservative of the principles of the Coy
ernment and the liberties OF the people. Its
efforts at refora have been steady and con
tinucd, but it has never sought to uproot ol
ovcriurn anything but the evil groMths
which were choking oul the good,
Considering these records Of 50 distinct
and opposite character, WE cannot bu
| comment upon the inpudent lies which lHt
the ''stop, thief. of the robber, are use,
against this good and patriotic organization
Trimmels, merccnarcs, hired and paid cal
nmniators, are ready always to serve n bad
cause by tIaducing the character Of thos,
