SCRIPTURE Texts VS.. CRossEs.-The
hberality of English officials may some
times be better judged by contrast than in
any other way. A specimen, occurring in a
work-house, is given below:
In consequence of resolution come to
some weeks ago by the Board of Guardians
OF the Fyiee Union to sanction the placing
hirkham workhouse, Mr.. Cookson, Roman
Catholic member, proposed, at the last
meeting OF the, board, that the priest in at
tendance on the Catholic poor, be allowed
to place crucifxes and whatever be deemed
consolatory to the sick, around the beds of
the Catholic inmates. This privilege MT.
Cookson, who had strenuously opposed the
introduction of the texts contended would
be only placing the Roman Catholics ON a
level with the Professionals. After O. long
and acrimonious discussion, in the course
OF which a strong 'tNo Popery" feeling was
manifested, the resolution was negatiyed nv
an overwhelming majority.

WEALTH OFT IRISH PROTESTANT HER

question develops curious facts, showing
the enormity of the iniquity by which pro-
fessed Christians have, for ages, crushed
the people of Ireland. Among them we
find: "

WASHINGTON, DAVIES Co.,

Sept. Is, 1868.
Editors Journal:
The joint discussion between Gen.
James @. Veatch and Judge VIM. E..
Niblack, which has for some time
past been thrust in our face by enthu-
siastic Democrats as the time when
our policy would be utterly demol-
ished, along with our candidate, has
taken place. But never did a Union
victory make them look so downcast
and disheartened as now. Judge N.
led off in a one hour and quarter
speech; in other words, he spoke his
piece" being composed of the same old
twaddle which he has been peddling
around this District for the last four
years. He, like all the rest of the
small guns, took or maintained no af-
firmative position, but dwelt, not on
what he had done and proposed doing,
but on what he had not done, and did
not intend doing. He seemed to pos
sess not one single idea of government,
and proved most conclusively he is
one of that class who can neither pro-
pose nor plan. During his speech,
several of the distinguished Demo
cratic leaders got behind the Judge
desk, and when he appeared to be Civ
ing out or getting befogged. beat the
benches firioUsly loith sticks, but
no response came from the crowd
that was before him, and no
one could help but see his
manifest inability to make a good
political speech. At the close of his
harangue, the General occupied the
floor Tor one hour and half, making
one OF the finest political speeches
ever listened to, perfectly and COM
letely annihilating his weak opponent.
He took up the Judges record, charg-
ing and proving most conclusively all
he said. He frequently turned to the
Judge, and asked him whether he did
not vote for certain bills or make GER
tain speeches. The Judge would
Invariably deny them positively.
Then the General would quickly
turn to his documents and read the
proofs of lis assertion Then, turn
ing to the Judge with that inimitable
smile, he would say, mo doubt you
forget, Judge, amid the roars of
laughter and the universal cheering.
Indeed from the irst to the last,
the audience were cheering and
laughing = not artificial cheers, but
| genuine, hearty, spontaneous cheer
ing; and there the poor judge sat
like criminal before a iurv. and no
one could look upon his face and see
his suffering without pity. Even the
Democracy admit that he has NOT the
talent to meet General Veatch: vet If
| he had been honorable, faithful. and
patriotic, and had given aid to our
cause, he might do some better.
In his fifteen minutes reply, he be-
came perfectly furious, charging the
General with unfairness pleading
and begging most pitiful to behold
bringing forward that poor, miserable,
feeble plea, let by cones be by
cones, to help him out, and asking
US to forget the past as he appeared
to have done, so conveniently for him
self: We think no man was ever SO
badly demolished before. None deny
the fact.

From nine counties no official state
ment could be obtained. This table
shows:
l. That the average rate of local
taxation in the counties which are
controlled by Democrats is S1.31 ID
on each 500.
2. That the average rate of taxa
ton in those counties controlled by
Republicans is 964 cents on each 500
Democrats tax 30 cents on the 500
more than Republicans, on an aver
age of nearly the whole State.
3. That of thirty-eight Democratic
counties twenty-nine tax over 81 on
the 800, while only nine tax less.
4. That of forty-five Republican
counties, only sixteen tax over 81 on
the 800, while twenty-nine tax less.
5. That the aggregate rates Of
thirty eight Democratic counties are
six hundred and ffty-one more than
the aggregate rates of forty-fve Re-
publican counties.

advertisements, and there is no get

would be fruitless. He is, indeed,

His appeals to the soldier are truly

reception by the Fighting Boys in

Republicans and Democrats who do

hand, McHenry in 1860 was for Bell

acted with the Union party, and was
during the war prominent member
of the Kentucky Legislature. But
whilst there in March, 1862, he com
