nAvENNA. THURSDAY. OCT. 20. 1870


We are still without the full returns
from the late election in this State,
, though enough is known to render it
certain that the Republicans have q
majority somewhat larger than last
year, from 1900 to 1900. It Is
worthy of note that their majority is
considerably less than the negro vote,
es which is nearly 10000, showing that a
majority of the white men are for the
Democracy. The Congressional dele

Us lieans and Democrats, the Republi-

IT seems that the election in Phila-
delphia was carried for the Republi-
can ticket by the employment of the
United States marines at the polls,
who appeared there in force, and in
all their military toggery, to overawe
the electors. The same thing is
threatened in New York at the COM
ing election. A law of Congress has
been passed, in contempt of the Con-
stitution, pretending to give sanction
to this outrageous interference with
the rights Of the people, upon the
shallow pretense of maintaining
them. Such performances, if acqui-
esced in or permitted by the people,
are but the prelude to the establishing

. Proposed Oonteat.

1.-THE Gazette of yesterday says :.
"Gsneral Schenck, we are informed,
proposes to contest the election, on
the ground of the refusal to receive
the soldiers votes in Montgomery
County" 3lg a.l4ssa9H ~
Ill as has been our opinion of
Schenck, says the Enquirer, we can
hardly believe that he has any such
intention. Certainly it would be very
derogatory to his previous reputation
and to his sense of pride to appear in
the humiliating position of a con-
testant on this ground. The Supreme
Court of Ohio, which is unanimouslv y
Republican, after q full argument, de-,
cided that the inmates of the Soldiers,
Home had no right to-vote. They
are there only temporarily, and their
real residences are in the places from
which they come. To allow them to
vote in . body st Dayton would be a
nullificstion Of all our election laws;
and would be the laying down of q
principle that would subvert them
and lead to all sorts of frauds. The
votes of Ohio mon who happen to be
| in New Y York on election day might
as well be taken and forwarded to
some particular Congressional Dis
trict at home as to receive the votes
of these disabled inmates of the Sol
diers Home in Montgomery county.

FATHER HYAcNTHE on INFALLIBILrrY.
Father Hyacinthe has published a letter
on Papal Infallibility, in which he asks.
"Whether Catholics are bound BY the def
inition of the Council'" After admitting
that authority Is the principle Of the
Church, he says that this makes il all the
more necessary TO distinguish between an
apparent and real authority, between n
blind and rational submission. He then
proceeds: IL protest against the pretend
ed dogma Of Papal Infallibility and rs 1t
Is defined in the decree Of the Roman
Council. Ii Is because I am n Catholic
and desire tn remain one, that refuse to
admit rs obligatory on those Of the faith,
doctrine unknown To the whole Of eccle-
siastical antiquity. disputed even in the
present day by numerous and eminent
theologians. and which implies, not q reg
ular development. but radical change
in the constitution OF the Church.
and the unalterable rule of her faith. II
Is because I am Christian and desire Ia
remain one, that protest from my soul
against the almost divine honors decrced
TO man. who Is presented TO our faith
l had almost said To our worship-as a
being uniting in his person both do
minion which is repugnant to the Spirit
of the Gospel. Of which he Is the minister,
and an inf,llibility which is repugnant to
the clay Of which he is moulded like us
