Father Youag Of Fraaksort K1.

Father Young, of Frankfort, Ken
lucky, Catholic Priest, who, after
having been invited by the authori-
ties to use his priestly influence to
suppress a riot, is now imprisoned by
the same authorities, because he will
not use the information which he so
acquired, while quelling the riot, to
the detriment Of certain persons whom
he may have seen engaged IN it. On
this point, we must cordially indorse
the following, which we take from

''The question is novel one, and
the point raised is one OF peculiar in

the Commemorative Attorney of this
District, Mr.. Young fvailed himself
Of the influence ne was supposed to

the perpetration of an offense against

unharmed in & tumult of angry pas

quailed, and now he is asked to be-
come public in1ormer and conmu-
nicaJe facts learned under these pecu-
liar circumstances. Mr.. Young, while
disclaiming exemption from testify
ing under any law of evidence.
presents the moral obligation under
which he rests so cogently, that none
can fail in having their sympathy
and respect enlisted in his behalf.-
The position he takes Is one which
appeals TO the highest sense of honor
which obtains among gentlemen eve
ry-where, and when 10 the ordinary
motives for respecting confidence is
added the saIlctity of a religious obli-
cation, it is evident that an issue is
made which involves either long

Congressional Summary.

Thursday June.lI. In the Senate q
bill was passed extending the Freed
mems Bureau for another year. Thus
are the white Iaborels of the North to
be taxed to support the lazy pianta-
ton negroes of the South, aud their
chieying Yankee masteTs-the bureau
gents, for another year.
Senator Yates. in a sober nome Mt
obtained leave to make an expert fac =
TO speech on the Omnibus bill just
past, reinstating sundry Sou thern
States as negro States. He pitched in
to the Chicago platform savagely for
It's coWardice in not making it the du
ty OF Congress to force negro suffrage
in the Northern as we'll as the South
ern States. He contended that Sena-
QrS who voted for the Omnibus dill,
had com niitted themselves to this
principle. 1fthey had the right to
control suffrage in the States of the
South, they had the right 20 control
it in the States of the North, and
there was no possible evasion of thi.
point.
On this point Yates is certaiuly con
sistent. Congress has the same right
to enfranchise the negroes in Ohio
that it has to do the same thing in Al
ALBANIA. But the exercise of the au-
thority in either case is an outrageous
and stupendous fraud upon the Con-
stitution.
In the House, the consideration o.
Schenck's tax bill was the main bust
ness. Nothing of special interest
transpired.

them.

CHANGED IN PoLITICA.-The Gin
ton (Ill.l County Independent, former
ly q republican paper, is now publish

editor, Mr.. George Sellers, who has
been q republican ever since the or

stand it no longer. We quote the fol
lowing from his last Issue.
"Nearly all the decent men who
ever belonged to the republican or rad
ical party have left, and many more
will leave it as soon as they learn the
truth. Chief Justice Chase, Senators
Trumbull, Grimes, Ross, Fessenden
Cowan, Doolittle, Dixon, and even
the president of the United States
have left the party since it fell into
the hands of such dirty thieves as
Beast Butler, Dirty Work Logan, and
original fanatics and abolitionists like
Stevens and Sumner.

New CUMBERLASD-Is one of the good

Our old ss;end, T. II. BAIRD, for many
years the druggist of the place and also
postmaster, we found the same amiable gen
tleman. Mr., Baird wishes TO sell out and
this would be a fine opening for 3 man with
small capital. ~
We paid brief visit to Hon RICHARD
MCCLELLAN, member of the General Assem-
bly, from Tuscarawas county. Mr.. McClel-
Ian is sound Democrat and lives at home
on one of the finest farms in that neighbor-
hood
JUICE LAPPIN's residence is near New
Cumberland, and for many years he has
been one of the pillars of the Democracy.
He is passing the evesin2 of his days in
reading and conicmpIa5i,h, deeply interested
in the welfare of hi' country and the rosto-
ration of the white mans Government Of
Washington and company.
Adjoining Judge Lappin's farm is the large
| farm of Mr.. jonathan MuIs, who kindly
invited us to visit his place. Mr. AIills's an
rangements about his residence are of the
finest and most beautiful description. The
trees form a rich and charming shade abou
his house, while the many flowers coming
out all around add to the beauty of the scene.
AIr. Millss garden is a model of beauty ant
neatness. His flower beds are magnificent
even this early in the season. The wors
we can say of Mr.. Mills is that he is strong
and leading Republican.
