AIR. A. JOHNSON has had cor
versation with some newspaper col
respondent, in which he speaks yer
disparagingly of President Gran
and his administration. Of oours
Grant will feel bad about it. Th
people will ask no better evidenc
that Grant is on the right track thal
the fact that johnson denounce
him. This venomous attack upol
Grant exhibits no new phase il
Andy's character.
The Courier lets fly "slight Dig
at the colored boys who were in the
"Buck Hook and Ladder Company
from this place, at the Tiffin tourna'
ment. The largest Of the three col
ored boys in question, is an appren-
tice in this Office, and better, more
reliable boy, never took STAT take''
off the ohook." He got up the first
wagon the "Bucks' used, and with
his two brothers, has done much to
keep the company in its present
trim. We have never known boy
who possessed a higher sense OF
honor, and we will warrant that no
fireman present on that day was
more decorous and orderly; and,
yet, any slow flung white" would
have been permitted to have NAL
treated him, among strangers, be
cause of his color. Could there be 9
stronger reason for the passage Of
he Fifteenth Amendment?
Ex.-SEe. SEWARD is reported by
the N. Y. Sun to have said thai
"within a year there would be 6
breakup of President Grants Ad.
ministration," which he pronounced
''the weakest the country has ever
had.' Two years is a long time for
80 celebrated q seer as Seward TO
postpone such a calamity. He pre-
dicted the downfall of the rebellion
in ninety days. That prophecy was
fulfilled in about five years. Esti-
mating the adhesive qualities of
Grsnt's Administration in the light
of this former prophecy, we find that
the threatened breakup will occur
in exactly twenty years, and we shall
have to wait just one-half as long to
see the great heads at Washington
quit their spheres and fly off into
political space as did the children of
Israel for a sight of the Promised
Land. Poor Seward!
If the leading Roman Catholic
journals may be regarded as an ex-
ponent OF the faith of that church,
it may be inferred that the doctrine
of the union of Church and State is,
at this time and in this country, no
less a cardinal principle of Catholic
orthodoxy than in Europe during
past ages. The Catholic Telegraph
says of the institution of civil mar
riagc in Spain: "The sacrament of
matrimony has, by law, been replaced
by legalized concubinage." The
same paper says Of our own Com
mon School system
at will be a glorious day for
Catholics in this country when, un
der the blows of justice and moral
ity, our school system will be shiver-
ed to pieces /; until then modern Pa.
ganism will triumph
1t will be seen that these declara-
tions all point to a single object,
viz: The control of all secular insti-
tu:ions by the Church. We may
not educate our children except un-
der the control of the church, nor
may we legally marry except the
be celebrated by the rites
of the church. Whether or not the
Catholic Telegraph fairly represents
modern Catholicism We know not,
but we can inform that journal that
we would be very 10th to part with
our common school system in order |
to place any church, sect or denomi-
nation at the head of our schools.
