ROMAN CATHOLICISM. The Roman Cath
ole Church in the United States has shown
remarkable progress. 1t is not yet eighty
years since the first Catholic bishop came tG
this country, and sixty years ago the entire
Union formed but one diocese. To-day
there are SO bishops and Wears apostolic
and about $500 priests. 1t is estimated
that the Catholic population now numbers
from 100000 to 100000 in this country.
Since 1850, the number of churches has near
ly tripled. and within the last seven years
the clergy and laity have increased fifty per

LETTER TO DANIEL r. COODLOE,

LETTER TO DANIEL z. GOODBYE,
Upon the last oaI eta disappointed dema-
gogus, being a letter to Hon. CHARLES SUM
NER, on the political situation in North
Carolina.
DANIEL R. GooDLoE, 0. s. Marshal, District
Of North Carolina:
SIR: Fer several weeks rumor has been
rife, that your transcendent abilities were to
be brought once more into play, in opposi-
ton to the Republican party and the Consti-
tuition lately ratified in North. Carolina
What form this opposition would take no
one seemed 10 know. 1t was rumored that
you had broken with your previous, faithful
and worthy co-adjutor the brother of the
renowned father Of Nojoque"-par mobile
ti'atruan-upOn the very ground of his in
sane opposition to the Constitution. In
deed, if must tell the actual truth, there
were very few who seemed to care when,
where or how your blows might fall i; and
during the early part of the late stormy po-
litical campaign, the leaders of the Repub-
lican party kept quietly on their way, as if
they were quite unaware of the terrific vol
cano you were preparing beneath their feet.
| But time passed on. The air grew thick
and close. The political world was evident
ly in the first agony of some great birth
striving to be delivered. The cry went forth
to all the deputies throughout the State to
come and help. It was supposed that they,
at least, would yield implicit obedience to
your mandate. Did they not owe their Of
fetal existence to you2 And no doubt some
labored faithfully, but Others were contuma-
cious and refused. And so it was found i'm
possible to secure the midwifery services of a
| Convention, but in silence and darkness, like
| a beggars heir. the great abort was cast,
red faced and bald, into the political Manager.
Daniel r. Goodloe was candidate for Gov
ernor of North Carolina! Now let the Re-
publican spawn tremble! Let nigger-nomi-
nees, carpet baggers, and all Radicals clear
the track Goodloe at the head IF ticket,
fve-sixths of whom cannot take the test
OATH is out against Holden and his felon-
ious aspirants" because they cannot take the
"iron-cad !"
1t was not the first time that you had en-
tered the arena against the radical portion
of the Republican party. Hitherto. how
ever, that party had been like the celestial
body of the angel

ing OF The draymen Of the city, In which
there 10 the following report from com
mittee appointed at previous meeting
10 confer with me;
I'VE, the committee appointed by the
draymen Of this city at your last meeting
10 wait on Mr. John League, County
Court Clerk, beg leave TO report the
following: That we have rendered him
the amount agreed upon at our last
meeting, say $40, for State and county
license, which he refused TO receive, he
(Nr. John Loague) stating at the same
time that $40, II any, was the required
amount Of tax on drays, but not being
positive, he is willing 10 abide by the de-
cision Of the courts
This seems TO say that am attempting
TO collect tax which in my opinion is
not warranted by the act OF the Legisla-
ture and, as know that the commit
tee had no desire to place me in an i'm
proper light, desire to state more ex-
plicitly my position. i stated TO the
committee that when the law was hrst
given TO me that, in my opinion, II drays
we're 10 be taxed, il should be under the
head Of carts and transfer wagons, and
so. / collected in the beginning from the
draymen who rendered payment; that at
present am collecting under instruc-
tons from those whom the law makes
