ROsecrans, our Common School
System, and the Catholic
Church.. at
ARCHBISHOP PURoRLL, dehv-
cred a political sermon, iat
Eaton, Ohio, on the 18th, in
which he took occasion to pitch
into our common schools, de-
claring the whole system wrong
because the Catholics are not
permitted, to use their share cf
the money in support of tn cir
own schools, not neglecting to
speak a good word for Gen.
Rosecrans and reminding his
hearers that he is a Catholic;
This is not the first of this
idea, that the Catholics are en-:
titled to "their share" of the
school fund. Their journals
have urged it for years with
the blindness of fanatics, and
appear to forget that when
other denominations want a
school in which their own pc
culiar faith may be taught they,
pay for it out of their own
pockets, instead of clamoring
for "their share" Of a fund in
which no sect-but the public,
alone-have any ownership. A
division of the school fund in
the manner urged by the Cath
olics would utterly destroy,
our schools. If the Catholics
are to have share aPportioned
out to them, all other sects
will put IN a similar claim, and,
our schools become worse than
useless-a place where narrow
minded sectarianism and pre-
judice will flourish for awhile,
until the whole common,
school system sinks with its
own weight. The evils which
would follow a division of the
school fund, and the sure de
struction of our schools, is so
apparent that nothing but ems
nifty to education of the masses
can prompt the leaders in this
movement. tra .t,..to ...-I
This question is destined to
enter largely into the politics,
Of the State during the cams
paign. The Catholics see in the !
nomination of Gen. Rosecrans
their opportunity, and Arch,
bishop Purcell's speech at Ea--
ton only indicates what part
his church will take in the
campaign. Gen. Rosecrans is
an extreme RomaniSt, and the
Arch hbishop announces what
part he is expected to play in
that character if elected. With
Gen. Rosecrans' religion we
have no quarrel; he is as much
entitled TO his belief as a Cath.
olic as we are to ours as a
Protestant; but when his
church, of which he is a most |
devout and blindly obedient
member, attempts to force ups
on the people measure which
will destroy the strongest safe
guard Of our free institutions
our free schools he will find !
arrayed against him every
friend Of universal education,
as well as the members Of 9th
er sects and that large class
who have little or no sectarian
feeling; and the Democratic
leaders, who hoped to carry the

a srRIKE FOR WAGES.

The members of the Legislature and
ing quite bitter war recently, in which
Governor Blasdell. as usual, got worsted,
and struck another pocket of unpopu-
larity with the Legislators. Desiring
their hire, of which all laborers. even
Legislative ones, are said to be worthy,
and money being exhausted in the
treasury, the Legislature adopted the
expedient of creating legislative fund.
to be used in paying the per diem of the
members and attaches. So an act was
passed appropriating $65,000 for this
purpose, including $1,000 of a contin-
gent fund. To get the warrants on this
fund up to par at the Bank of Califor-
nis, they ssddled them with one and
one-quarter per cent. interest per mon th.
Governor Blasdell probably remembered
the example OF Richelieu in a familiar
domestic difficulty, and invoked the
veto power with less happy effect than
the Cardinal did his Excommunication.
In fact, it is limited he has not Riches
lieu's virtues. The Legislature strad-
died his objections with scarce an anti
straddler in the body. The Governor
instructed the Attorney>General to en-
join the Comptroller from issuing the
warrants; the members got out a mans
damus the case came before the SUI
preme Court and was decided against
the Governor. So Legislators are in
funds and board bills are easy. In the
olden time they had an easier way of
getting funds-a heath at midnight

stated that in the winter of 1S67-S, X.

stock, aud ordered bill of goods to be
put up and shipped, drawing on him at
ninety days, and exhaling more airs
than shoddy contractor. Mr.. James
informed him they did not do business
in that way. and suspected him from

offended dignity, but returned and pur-
chased press, agreeing TO leave orders
for the collection of his Chicago adver-
tisements sufficient to cover the cost.
Mr.. James knowing the parties adver-
tising to be good, accepted the terms and
shipped the press. Mr. Fisk suddenly
left Chicago without leaving the orders,

THE BLOCKADE.

We take the following from the Salt
Lake 7etegraph's correspondence, dated
Echo City, February 20. Il explains how
the blockade was occasioned
East and west of us, say the wires,
the most terrific storm for years is now
en- pdssdn For ten days no train has
arrived from the east of Quakingasp, and
in consequence no mail from Omaha.
The road is blocked with snow between
Rawlings Springs and Laramie-deep-
est at Cooper's Lake. a little east of
Elk mountain. The U. p. Railroad Co.
have a heavy force of men at work SHOW
cling snow, besides the operations of
the snow plows. 1t is expected that a
train will be able TO pass within three
days, that is, unless the storm should
unexpectedly continue.
Causes and effect being so inter-
woven, one involuntarily inquiries. why
has the line of railroad communica-
tion been SO suddenly broken? The
cause. given in the abstract, shapes it
self thus; On or about the 10th inst.
collision occurred between the west-
ward bound train and the snow plow
engine, having cleared the track, re-
turning from the west. Traced to its
origin, carelessness, the cause in gem
eral of the world of accidents and cal
antilles, may be set down. The eollis-
ion occurred during severe snow
storm, and before the wreck could be
everything was showed in.

" Don Piatt says that many years
since a pale, delicate young man came
into his office in Sixth street, Cincins
natl, with complaint against Brigham
Young of assault and battery. Upon
payment of the necessary fee, they re-
paired to the Office of Esquire Snellba-
ker and a warrant was sued out for the
arrest of the pugilistic prophet. On the
day of trial Brigham appeared, and
wish counsel defended himself. He was
then n square-set, powerful>built man,
with a serious. rather dogged express
SION of face. The quarrel originated in
a charge the youth made, that his lead
er was in favor of polygamy. This
Brigham denied bitterly, not only in
the quarrel, but in the defence. AS for
threats against the young mans life,
he meant, he said, only that the Lord
would punish him for his insubordina-
tion and impiety. Esquire Snellbaker
fined the prophet all of ten dollars, and
bound him over TO keep the peace"
