The Letter

ofJudge Onn is in keeping with the past
political record Of tho man, He has never
exhibited the moral courage to meet and con.
troll popular sentiment to tho best interests of
the country, but like straw, has foatcd with
the current Much Of his credit for political
sagacity is due to this characteristic. When
new political movement is inaugurated, he is
found in the back ground, aud there he re-.
mains until satisfied which is tho trump card.
Then, with flourish, he appears on what
he believes to be a victorious field, and strives
to wear the laurels others have won. Read
his letter in this issue, and you will SEQ the
bulk of the argument in his own justification
is, that tho radicals have the numbers aud
must be successful. If this be not the true
Interpretation of his political course, why has
he delayed the publication of the letter until
his personal friends and old supporters have
arrayeG themselves on the side of the Reform
ers? Why was not tho letter published at
tho inception of the Reform movement The
interview he held some months ago with tho
pigs and chickens, near Anderson, disclosed
the rottcnncss and corruption of the Radical
party, aud predicted its sure aud speedy dis.
solution by party similar to the Reformcrs.
Now that the contest for supremacy between
honesty and corruption, qualification and in.
competency has begun and assumed strength,
he throws his influence on the side Of mum
bcrs and against his friends. We have no
fears of his influence over the white voters in
this County. That has long since been lost.
In his candidacy for Governor, having no op,
position, he did not receive one. fourth the
votes polled at Walhalla. At another box
only two votes were poled for him.

The Homestead.


The pleadings of Judge OnR becomc clio.
qucnt as he deineatcs the humanity of the
Radical party as cxcmpi6ed in the bcne
icicnt provisions Of the Homestead Act
This is a sword with two edges, cutting both
ways. If facts be taken We will find more
women and children housclcss and homeless,
naked and starved, from thc operations Of this
law than otherwise. Widows and children,
whose husband and fathers have perished in
the late war, and whose property has been
sold for cash and the money loaned out, or
whose personal property has been sold on
time for notes, arc left to suffer by the pro-
visions of this Act Suppose the minimum
Of suffering to be on the side of the homestead
law, does that justify the law if uuconstitu-
tional The Legislature of 1865 thoroughly
discussed this question, and came to the cou-
sustained, and prospective homestead was
not then desired. Whatever may be the dc
cision of the Supreme Court, as to the efficacy
of tho law, MS it exists. we feel sure that pre-
common intelligence, much less LAWYER
would have entertained thought of the con
st'tutlonaiity in its present form. We favor
homestead law, and are very sorry it has
not an earlier existence on our statute books.
In 1915 such law was passed and the people
demanded its repeal. Now that mislortuncs
have come, VIC cannot say law should be
passed good against debt older than tn, first
law, and that, too, when its enforcement
works the oppression and suffering of widows
and orphans. 1t was no want of feeling for
the debtor class, as Judge ORn would insin.
uate, that prevented the Legislature of 1866
from passing a homestead law. 1t was the
honest conviction, that law to prevent the
impending evils was unconstitutional, and
that body did not desire to stultiry itself by
such an Act. The stay law was continued in
forco and these matters were left open for
future action.

INEALElBsLITY.

The following is translation of the Pa
pal scheme of infallibili,y, given out by the
Ecumenical Council, April 30th:
/. Ifany one shall say that the Episcopal
Chair of the Roman Church is not the very
true and Intallible Chair of the Blessed Pc
ter, or that it has not been diviney chosen
by God as the most solid, enduring, aud in
corruptible rock of the whole Christian
Church--let him be accursed.
2. If any one shall say that there exists
on earth, distinct and separate from the
Chair of the Blessed Peter, any other lntal
lible Chair of the Truth of the Gospel OF
Christ the Lord-let him e accursed.
g. II any one shall deny that the Divine
Supremacy of the Chair Of the Blessed Pc
ter is to all men. whether unbelievers or be-
ieYers, whether laymeu or bishops, neces-
sary rs the true road to eternal salvation
let HIM be nccursed.
4. If any one shall say that each and all
OF the Roman Pontiffs, legitimalely elected,
, are n jure dicino successors Of the Bless
ed Peer. in the gift also o! Magisteral In
f,llibility. and shall deny to any of them the
prorogallye of Iuial ibili,y to teach the
SIuiCu Tue W btu VI YOU, pulC nun Ack
rnpion and errur--iet him be occurs d.
5. II any one shall say that Ecumenlcal
Councils are "a power placed by God in the
Church for feeding the Divine flock on the
w ard OF God. superior to the Roman Pom
tiff, or equal to him, or necessary, ny III
wire institution. to the completion of The In
fallible Magistracy of the Bishop Of Rome
let him be accursed.
The above is strange reading in this nine
teeEth century, and especially in this coun-
try, where intolerance in religion is tradi-
ton of the past. The "believe or be damn
ed" alternative in the above fulminatinns
will CRATE harshly on American ears OF all
creeds, and it is safe to say that many de-
vout Catholics will brave the damnation
rather than Subscribe to dogma which for
bids the exercise of their reason, their con
science or their common sense. The cable
informs us that the American bishops in the
council are daily becoming more Disguised
with the dogma of infallbility, and disin-
c!ined to accept it. That anybody should
accept i, in this day of enlightened progress
is at once wonder and shame. The last
two canons Of the dogma in effect elevate
an old man, the mere creature and puppet
of few Italian Cardinals, to be the supreme
dictator in matters of belief and practice to
hundreds of millions Of Catholic christians,
binding them fast in the letters Of his priest
ly will and suffering no appeal to council
of the church or other earthly tribunal Ii
would not only affect the relations Of Cath
olics TO the church, but it would be the
means Of controlling them in their political
relations and actions toward the State, and
this is its most dangerous and offensive fea-
TUE That this is intended is not only evil
dent from the past history of papal preten-
sions, but also from the proceedings Of the
present Council.

Tie people of these United States have
endured too much from Radicalsm.-Aetc
York World.
Certainly they have endured from Rad.
calism the suhjngation Of a rebellion with
the Horlds "Christian gentleman and
great captain at its head. They have
endured from Radcalism the abolition OF
slavery, which the World's party tried to
perpetuate and extend. Thy have en-
dured from Radicalsm the maintenance of
the public faith and honor. They have en-
dured from Radcalism the enthusia tic
election to the Presidency of the soldier
who overcame the "Christian gentleman
aud was therefore called by the Porld
"butcher.' They have endured from Rad
ica!isu' the salvation Of their national life,
and the elevation of their national name
to an unprecedented glory. These things
the people of the United States have en-
dured from Radicalism, as they endured
from the World and its party the support
of the most infamous crimes against hu-
man nature, the utter disgrace Of the ma
tonal name, aud the attempted destruction
of the Union ind the government. We
deny the right of an apologist for the re-
bellion and the deiamer Of its greatest SO!
diers to speak for the people of the United

A WAR OF DIFFERENTIATION NAGGD
AGAINST THE JEws.-A dispatch tron En-

broken out III the province Of hpuma la, i

some protection again st outrage and eXt9r-
ton 4 secret movement has been IN or
ganization for some time for the exiernlua-
ton of the Jews. Gu Sunday last. by II
preconcerted signal, the Christian pOpHlace
rose and the fearful work of butchery was
inau2 ura,ed. At an earl; hour the houses
of all Jews were invaded and those OF the
occupants who were unable to escape were
mastered in cold blood. The fleeing Is
raeiles were pursued through the town by
an armed mob, and Murdered wherever
caught Men, women and children were
ru,hlessly slain The fury f the populace,
inhamed with religious bigotry, only ex-
haus;ed itself for want of victims. Ia all
the principal towns the fearful work OF
butchery prevailed and thousands Of men.
women and children OF the repugnant class
were butchered in cold blood. The work
of slaue ht.r still goes on in the interior, and
nothing has been heard yet of any move
ment by the authorities to suppress it. The
regning prince is absent from the province,
and advantage was taken ofthis to complete
the total determination Of the Jews from
the province. Prince Charles is hurrying
home, and energetic measures will at once
be taken by the Sultan to suppress this re-
ligious emeute. Meanwhile the fury Of The
mob continues unabAted.

The Fall Elections.

The fall elections this year are to decide
not only the character Of the next House OF
Representatives, but also, to certain ex-
tent, that Of the Senate. Twenty Senators
viii be elected by the next State Legisla-
lures. The Senators whose terms expire
On the 4h of March next, are Morrill,, OF
NJ line, Cragin, Of n W Hampshire; wilson,
OF Massachusetts; Anthony, OF Rhode Is
land; Cattell, OF New Jersey; Wiley, of
West Virginia; Johnson, of Virginia; Alb
bolt, of North Carolina; Robertson, Of
South Carolina; Fowler, Of Tennessee ;
Grimes, of Iowa; Howard, Of Michigan :;
Thayer, OF Nebraska; Ross. of Kansas /;
Yates. OF Illinois; Mcdonald, Of Arkansas !;
Revels, of Mississippi; Williams, of Ore
gon; Harris, of Louisiana; Warner Of Al
ALBANIA Salisbury, Of Delaware; MeCreery,
Of Kentucky; and Norton, of Minnesota.
The ut-going Senators are all Republicans,
except Salisbury, McCreery and Norton.
The seat of Mr.. Fowler has already been
filled by Democrat, and that of Mr..
Grimes by a Republican. The Democrats
will probably lose one Senator in Minneso-
ia, and gain in New Jersey, Oregon, and
perhaps one or two Southern ates. In
many Of the States the contest will be spirit
ed, for personal as well as political reasons.
