RoMANIsTs AND Our PUBLIC
SCHooLs.-The Uni0erse, the organ
of the Roman Catholics in Philadel
phia, recently used the following
coarse language respecting the public
school system Of this country. Speak
ing Of that city, it says
There are multitudes of Catholic
children ia the public schools here,
and these same schools are quite as
destructive of faith as the Uaiversi-
ties Of England. The. Catholic
father who sends his children
to a Protestant school, IS far, far
worse 10 unnatural crime than
the mother who exposes her in
fant on the path Of the wolf Chill
dren are given as blessings To send
them where their faith IS certain
to be poisoned, is iDgratitute to our
Saviour, OF parallel Nervousness to
the pride of the fallen angels against
the Almighty. Those angels are now
devils in hell for their sin; the Catho-
lies who.send their children to Pro-
testant schools have, inevitably before
them, eternal companionship with
those fends. And what Of the chill
dren themselves? As sure as their
grace of faith perishcs, and in almost
al cases it perishes, their souls are
lost.

STANTON REINsTATED.-The United States
Senate, by vote of 35 to 6, refused to sane
ton the act of the President in removing
Secretary Stanton from the War Department.
On receiving intelligence of the decision of
the Senate, General Grant Immediately pass
ed over his portfolio of office to Stanton,
without consulting the President. Great
excitement prevails among the Presidents
supporters in consequence of the action of the
Senate, as the reinstatement of Stanton is a
heavy blow to the pet policy of their chief.
Grants action in promptly turning over the
War Office to Stanton shows that he endorses
the course of the Senate, and doubts the pat.

reports that the President will refuse to
transact business through Stanton, but will
issue orders to the army in his capacity of

NATIONAL REpuDLIcAN CoNyENrIoN.-A

NATIONAL REPUBLICAN CONVENTIONAL
call has been issued by the National Repub-

vention, to meet at Chicago on the Doth of
May. This is the official call:
Each State in the United States is author
lied to be represented in said Convention by
number of delegates equal to twice the
number of Senators and Representatives to
which each State is entitled in the National
Congress We invite the cooperation of all
citizens who rejoice that our great civil war
has happily terminated in THE discontinue of
the rebellion; who wouldhold fast the unity
and integrity of the Republic, and maintain
its paramount right to defend to the utmost
its own existence, whether imperiled by
secret conspiracy or armed force ; of all
friends of an economical administration of
the public expenditure of the complete
extirpation of the principles and policy of
slavery, and the speedy reorganization of
those States whose Governments were de-
stroyed by the rebellion, and their perma-
nent restoration to their proper practical
relations with the United States in accord
ance with the true principles of republican
government.

The Registry Law Again.

On the 18th inst. the bill providing for the
repeal of the Registry Law came up in the
Senate. A strong effort was made to bring
the Senate to direct vote on the bill, but
number of Senators showed disposition to
evade the issue by reference to committee
After considerable skirmishing, the bill was
referred to the Judiciary Committee, by a
vote of 2l to 7. 1t is to be hoped that the
bill will not be allowed to slunber in the
hands of the Committee. but will be speedily
reported back to the Senate, with recon
mendations for its passage. 81
The law is certainly one of the most ab
surd, contradictory and unintclligible enact
ments ever placed upon statute book in this
or any other State, and should be repealed
unconditionally, and with as little delay as
possible. Our impression is that a Registry
Law, in any shape, is not needed in this
sparsely settled State, and it certainly must
be apparent to all that the present law is
nothing moro than an extra bill of trouble
and expense to the people. without any cor
responding benefits. 1t is also the opinion of
many of our ablest jurists that the law is un-
constitutional, inasmuch as it assumes, in
some instances, to interfere with the condi-
tions of the elective franchise, which the
Constitution declares to be inviolate, and
above the reach of discriminating State en-
actments.
Our views on this subject correspond with
the sentiments of a great majority of the
people of this county, who, irrespective of
party, are as five to one in favor of striking
the odious law from the statute books of the
State. When the bill comes up again for
consideration, we trust square vote will be
taken on its repeal, and that no effort will be
made to dodge the issue, by resorting to any
legislative strategy. with the view of staving
the matter off. When the vote is taken we
hope our representatives will vote in harmony
with the sentiments of their constituents.
Let the people watch and see whether they
do so or not

TAXING MINING CLAIMs.-A Gold Run,
Placer county, correspondent of the Exam;.
ner, says the recent decision of the Supreme
Court in regard to taxing mortgages, church
property, mining claims, etc., burst like
thunderbolt upon this community. 1t is, of
course, very unpopular decision for the
mining region; but | am heartily glad that
it'has become law. | do not see the Justice
in allowing a miner to go untaxed upon a
claim that he can cash at any time for S., ,OoO
or 1000, and tax trader upon his stock
which is not worth any more. 1t is just what
the mining counties have needed for a long
time back and will be the means of saving
some, if not all, of them from bankruptcy,
1t will be the means of bringing in large
amount of taxable property that heretofore
did not pay anything to either State or
county. 1t will increase the taxable pro-
perty of this county one million dollars, and
in this township alone, will add to the
assessment roll three hundred thousand
dollars.

CuURNTow owN.-Residents of Churntown say
that times are duller there this winter than
ever before known. The rains which fell
during the early part Of the season were SO
light as to produce but temporary supply
of water. The recent cold weather, followed
by heavy snow, has not tended to render
water any more plentiful, and the conse-
quence is that nearly all the miners around
Churntown and vicinity are idle, while the
usual mining season is passing away. The
destruction Of Mulloe's store and the scarcity
of water have proved heavy backset to this
usually lively and prosperous mining camp.
