AN ODIOUs MONOPOLY. There is an
other, and to those extensively engaged in
the printing and publishing business, an
odious monopoly established. \ leading
paper manufacturing firm of Cincinnati have
received notice that they must pay a royal
ty on every pound of paper in which straw
is material. A combination of Eastern
manufacturers Of paper, have bought up all
the patents embracing the making of paper
from straw, and last winter they slipped
through Congress an extension Of the prin-
ciple patent for seven years, and now, hay
ing all the powers in the hands of the ring,
they have come down on the outside paper
manufacturers with this demand, requiring
not only that they shall pay heavy royalty,
but shall fix their prices as ordered by the
ring. which proposes to regulate the quanti-
ty manufactured, in order to regulate the
prices.

PROTESTANT INDEPENDENCE.- Pro-
testant Congress which assembled at Worms,
Germany, on Monday, May 3lst, declared
by a unH Hnimous vote that they would not re
turn to the fold of Rome, be the invitations
Of the Pope ever SO tempting. The Luther
ans, Presbyterians, aud most other protes-
tant denominations. in this country scof at
the offers Of the venerable Plus, and 50 far
no favorable view has been taken Of the
Popes recent letter to Protestants, unless
possibly the Ritualists may have leaning
that way But who expected that there
would be a favorable response? Is there a
single good reason to expect that the work OF
Martin Luther will be undone at the present
day? If 50, We confess we have seen no
signs of it

TuAT's RiGHT-The Spanish Republi-
cans have come brayely up to the mark
Because they cannot get Republic now,
they will not refuse to support the new con-
stitution, which IS certainly better one
than they ever had before. Their action Is
very sensible, and it only needs disposition
to liberate Cuba to cause Us TO have a very
high respect for the SpaniarIs of the pres
ent day.

FREE TRADE vs. PROTECTION The
Free Traders are holding weekly meetings
in New York and making great efforts tc
disseminate the free trade doctrines. As an
Offset to their efforts Horace Greely has
commenced publishing in the Tribune Sc
trade and elucidate the principles of protec-
ton. We know OF few men in the country
who are abler or more earnest advocates Of
protection to American industry than Mr..
Greeiy, and his articles viii no doubt com
mani a widespread circulation.

The Republicans seem to be confident of
carrying Virginia on the 9th of July. Gov.
Wells is making splendid canvass as the
Radical candidate for Governor, and there
is complete unity among his supporters.
The colored vote will go almost in a body
Republican, notwithstanding the offers OF
the Democrats to give them Offices in ex-
change for their votes.

The New York S,ta charges that at the
election in the John Street NJ. Z. Church
New York, few day. ago, women voters
were imported in crowds from other church

in consequence; which is bad commentary
on the claim that woman suffrage will pro-
mote the purity of elections.

cided an important question raised under
the 9th section Of the Registry Law which
applies especially to hotels taverns, Sailor

Court sustain the letter and spirit of the
act. The result is that, under this prOvis

prohibited from registering any of the in
mates of these establishments If they are
citizens and qualified voters, they mus
come before a Board of Canyassers and es-

THREE CARS SUBMERGED.-Ane extraor-
dinary occurrence took place in Crawford
county, few days since. The Titusville
Herald of June lst. states that part of
the track of the Oil Greek Railroad gave
way near Gray's mills, and allowed one car
to sink into bed of quicksand. The break
occurred where the track was laid across a
peat bog and took place while a gravel train,
which had run on that part Of the track,
was being miloaded Three Of the cars be-
gan to sink rapidly, in few minutes after
the work of unloading commenced and in a
short time one of them was below the sur
face An attempt was made to draw the
other two on the track, but it failed, and
during Sunday afternoon and yesterday the
cars continued TO sink, and at last accounts
they were about twelve feet below the sur
face. About two hundred and twenty-five
laborers were at work yesterday on the track,
but the relayine of it has been found to be
more difficult than was ut first supposed
The bog Is quite large; and where the track
crosses it is about one hundred yards broad.
1t was sounded in several places yesterday
and found TO be about thirty eight feet deep.

Fox did not save her from punishment and Judge
