GRANT AND THE MISSOURI SENA
TORSHIP


The Missouri Senatorship is like
Iy to give the Radicals some trouble.
1t appears that they had the mat
ter fixed up that Gen. Carl Schurz
was to succeed Mr.. Henderson, but
this little game is about to be spoiled.
There comes from Washington Il
seemingly well founded report that
Gen. Grant desires Mr.. Henderson 5
re election. His opposition to Carl
Schurz is based upon objections OK
tending far back to the time when
Grant commanded the Department
of the Mississippi. The President
elect is reported as having said that
Schurz is an adventurer, having no
claims to ths>oflice. This report
gains pIausibility from the move
ments of certain Missouri politicians
noted in the following dispatch to
the Cincinnati Gazette
ST. LOUIS, Dec. 2S-Senators Hener-
son and Drake have arrived here from
Washington, and have been in close con-
sultatiOn all day, in reference to the sena-
torial question. Gen. Loan, the Repre-
sentative from the seventh district, came
with them, but went directly home to st.
Joseph. 1t is asserted in a letter from
well informed source in Washington, that
these gentlemen have formed cOmbina-
ton for the defeat of Gen Schurz for the
United States Senate, and that they have
come here to work against his cleo
elton. This assertion is borne out by the
maneuvers, of Drake and Henderson
since their arrival As matters stand
now, there will be desperate struggle
for the mastery during the coming three
weeks. 1t is stated that Col Benjamin,
representative from the eighth district is
in this ring, and will lend his influence
against Gen. Schurz, but of this there is
as vet no positive evidence The great
effort will be to prevent a Radical caucus
and bring the election directly before the
Legislature, but the prospects for this are
quite dubious
The fact that Drake and Love,
who are rs Radical as men well can
be, are cooperating with Uender-
son, is pretty conclusive upon two
points: that Schurz is not wanted
in the Senate by the incoming ad-
ministration, and that HendersOn's
course touching the impeachment
of President Johnson is not now
regarded with the disfavor it was
in the first flush of the chagrin
and Indignation the impeacbers
felt at the acquittal of the President.
1t would be a curious commentary
upon the reading of Henderson out
of the Republican party by the
Radicals for his course on the i'm
parchment question, should he be re
turned to the Senate through the
influence of Gen Grant and by
Radical votes.

GRANTS cabinet continues TO
bother the politicians Of the Radi-
cal persuasion. There are probably
quite a number who are expecting
to be called, but are destined TO be
disappointed. The Washington
star of the 2Sth inst. has long
article on the subject, in which it
expresses the opinion that Wade
will have the Interior Department;
Boutwell,, the Treasury Depart
ment, SchofeId, the War Depart
ment; that the Navy Department
lies between IIamlin, Griswold,
and Gen. Hawley, and that Thomas
c. Durant, of Louisiana, has as
good "a show as anybody for the
Attorney Gcneralship. If Wilson,
ofIowa, gets the Senatorship from
that State, it thinks Washburne is
going 10 France, and that Motley
will get the State Department if
Boutwell, is left out ofthe Treasury.
1t is not easy TO settle on any one
for the Postonicc. Senator Morton
seems anxious on the subject, and
has caused it to be announced that
he will not, under any circumstau.
ces, take a place in the cabinet; that
lac prefers 10 remain in the Senate,
and, furthermore, is in such Physi
cal condition that he could not do

GRANrANn CONGREss.


Gen. Grant has put his foot down |
and declared that he will not
permit the Presidency to be a pair
of stocks. His requirement for the
repeal of the civil tenure law is a
requirement involving the restora-
ton of the executive Office to its
former force and its former free
dom. His declaration for the forty
first Congress to meet him at the
threshold of his administration, IS
nothing less than bid for new
alliance, and an announcement Of a
new departure. His Quixotic, but
perhaps sincere, intentions for econ
omy of administration show an ami
mus, if not a capacity to stop the
torrent of extravaganza and cor
ruption which has flowed as vital
sap through the party and stimu-
lated it to its monstrous growth.
These three things mark at present
the little spring which Is to
widen into a mighty river of con-
tention. To be sure the last
desire for economy, is only an as
piration. But Gen. Grant is q
very practical man, and his aspi-
rations soon find opportunity for
realization. If he attempts-as he
will-to realize this one, he will
break, by having to break with his
party. Look, for instance an ex,
posure Of the revenue frauds and
their stoppage in New York, i'm
poverishes and antagOnizes Morgan
Bailey, Shook, and all the rest of the
ring of whisky and Federal and
State officials. Even hostile Oh
critical attitude towards the Pacific
Railroad ring impoverishes and an
tagonizes Pomeroy, Drake, Cole
Corbett, Williams, CONFESS, Thayer
Upton, Ramsey, l. Donnelly, Cor
ham, Loan, Rice, of Arkansas, an'
half a hundred other leaders VIII,

Mississippi "as far for quantity a
the Pacific ocean.
Even a decent respect for tn
opinion of such mankind as Trum
bull, Fessenden, Fowler, Henderson
and Grimes antagonizes all the But
lers, Binghams, Chambers, For
neys, Summers, Wades, Howard'
Yateses and Ramseys of the party

The New York Tribune "reiOices
that the very man who was most
vehement and vociferous in pro
claiming that treason is a crime,
and traitors must be punish d,
when Lincoln's murder had set the
country wild for vengeance, now
fathers the most sweeping amnesty
ever pronounced by man. The
Tribune confesses that it seldom,
of late, finds a decent excuse for
praising Andrew Johnson but it
"thanks him for putting an end,
even thus tardily, to the swindling
legal farce, enacted every few
months, under the deceitful title of
trial of jeff. Davis ; a swindle by
which nobody is duped-a farce at
which nobody thinks Of laughing.
The Tribune candidly confesses a
doubt whether 1T was ever possible
to convict Davis of treason in a
civil court"

A manual of devotion, proposing to keep
June as the month of st. Peter as March is
the month of St. Joseph, has become very
popular. The deyotions of the month OF
more regularly than by the soldiers. Most
of tile companies arranged Il little chapel in
their quarters, where they daily recited
tfftanics together. The most conspicuous
was that of the seventh company of the
First Battalion, now stationed at Tiv0li, the
soul OF it being the Peruvian Sergeant Sc
villa, whose gallantry in the late campaign
extorted q mention in my letter more than
once. He is now happily recovered from
to Our Lady, which made him accept his
sufferings with 80 much enthusiasm,
prompted him to lead his fellow-soldiers in
this devotion. The Bishop of Tivoli, hear
ing of their daily gatherings, was pleased
to attend on the last evening and gave ben
ediction, which was received with military
honors, nearly the whole company having

ORANGE WRECKINGs.-The impunity with
which outrages may he committed by
Orangcmen ON Catholics and their sanctua-
rics has had it's legitimate effect in increas-
ing their number, as the perpetrators are
sure of escaping from the just punishment
of their crimes. Among the recent occur
rences of this kind was that at cambridge:
The Orangemen of this district have been
running riot since last Friday, when they
commenced their intolerant doings by at
lacking the Catholic church, throwing
stones at it and into it whilst the Catholic
population of the town were there assembled
to listen to the minlstrations OF some OF the
Redemptorist Fathers, who are ut present
engaged in a mission there. On that occa-
sion the Rev. Mr.. O'Brien was severely hurt
l,y blows of stones, as were also several of
the constabulary who We're on duty to pro-
tect the church from demolition. This raid
but whetted the appetite for mischief of
those gentle Orangemen, for on Saturday
night, between ten anu eleven O'Clock, a
/ BODY fthem, numbering nearly n thousand,
marched into the town in martial array,
with flies and drums, some of them armed,
and, evidently, bent upon mischief. They
again made for the Catholic church, and
would, no doubt, have totally demolished it
but for the prompt action OF the resident
magistrate and sub inspector of constabul-
ary in sending body of men to protect it,
which they did effeetually. but at consider l.
able risk, for both the magistrate and police
were peited with stones, and some of the
latter were severely cut and wounded. The
police acted with GOODNESS and determine

body of ruifians, the number t of the con,

siderable apprehension that they may again

force, as they appear to be under great ex-

CARDINAL CULLEN AND =, MARSHAL
M'MAHoN.-The controversy between Mar
shal MMah0n, Governor Of Alriers. and
Mgr. Lavigerie, Archbishop of Alters
touching the orphanage established by the
latter to shelter the Arab children whose
parents had been carried off by the late
famine in the country, will still be in the
recollection of our readers. The Marshal
(says the Freeman,) in his anxiety to di-
minish the difficulties which beset the gov
eminent of q half subdued people, jealous
OF anything like interference with their re-
ligion, had issued orders which tied the
Archbishops hands and prohibited him to
preach the Gospel to the eighteen hundred
Arab orphans collected and supported by
his charity. We have already laid before
our readers the letters in which Mgr. La
yigerie, in reply to the Marshal, claimed
for himself the liberty of the Gospel, and
attributed the horrors of cannibalism then
occurring in Algiers to the corrupt religion
of the Koran. Marshal M'Mahon replied
that even in a country so eminently reli-
gious as Ireland famine had led to similar
crimes, and that the atrocities of cannibal
ism could not fairly be charged against the
Koran, since they had been Witnessed in
the heart of even that most Christian nation.
The Cardinal Archbishop of Dublin, unwil-
ing that such o stain should rest upon the
fair fame of Catholic Ireland, has addressed
to the editors of the Uaivers and of the
Monde letter, in whic'' he states that he
has instituted inquiries, and that during
the famine mot one single case of canni.

RITuALIsM.-An ordinary reader would
readily mistake the following for descrip-

of what took place in a Protestant church,
and published in paper of that denomina-

? On Good Friday, the hangings of the
sanctuary, pulpit, and fauldstool, were of
black dossal; a large Calvary cross, of
colony wood, was placed on the reliable,
and, with the candlesticks, was yelled with
Grape. On Easter Day the services were of
a hearty and joyous character. Therewere
two celebrations of the Holy Eucharist, and,
in spite of~the wet weather, a goodly num-
Der of the faithful received the blessed body
and blood. There was professional at the
midday service, "Jesus Christ It's risen to-
day and again at the evensong. The
altar was vested, in white, four vases of
beautiful flowers on the reliable. The chan
eel screen and pulpit We're also decorated,
and over the former was a large rood
covered with the magnificent Cape Jasmine.

sacrifice tcas offered after mathis, at seven
o'clock in the morning.-Church Times.
