Gazette Oracle with its usual inpsl ~ |
hence and insolencs, and iahpooas
the CoURrER, because some tickets
were printed in this Office with the
name OF M. NJ. Walden omitted.
The editor of that paper is evidently
0 close and constant reader Of the
COURIER, or else it would not have
so many pretexts to Backyard us.
Being q careful reader of our
columns, he could not have we'll
failed to SEQ the protest we mado
against this unfortunate affair, as
soon as it was discovered, which was
perpctrated without the knowledge
or consent of the editors of tho
COURIER, one of whom was in New
York, and tho other in Leaven worth
when the tickets in question were
ordered, and printed by the foreman
Of our job office. Moreover, the
Gazette publishes the statement of
Major John J. Safely, chairman Of
our township central committee,
who manfully and justly assumes
all dhe responsibility Of the affair,
and this ought to have ended the
growing among gentlemen.
| But the supercillious and self
righteous editor of the Oracle, is not
to be placated. Here was too good
an opportunity to abuse, :us by
inuendos, and slurs,to be lost, 90 that
paper publishes, with itsapproval, ar
article from the Oskaloosa Herald, in
which it is unfairly, ungentlemanly

Corkhill VS.. sprague.

The contest between the above
named gentlemen in the first judicial
district for prosecutor, has since the
election been SO long befogged as to
the result, and so much has been
said about it, that it is just now at
tracing general attention in this
part Of the State. As tho returns
came in the contest was 80 close it
was found that nothing but the
official CANVASS could determine
definitely the result, and now it is
asccrtained that even the count by
the several boards of supervisors in
the counties does not settle the mat.
ter fully, and that the canvass at Des
Moines can alone decide the case.
The election in that district was to
elect both a prosecutor for full
torn, and to ill vacancy, and the
tickets were in the main SO printed
and Colonel Corkhill and Mr.. Sprague
were candidates for both positions,
Tho canvass in Dcs Moincs county
discloses the fact that in one of the
townships the vote was simply for
districtattorney, not naming whether
for the short or the long term, and
the board of supervisors were unable
to determine for which position these
votes should be counted, and as q
consequence whether they should be
counted at all. 1t SO happens that
this township gives Sprague large
majority, and if they are not counted
it will beat Sprague beyond question.

rah-or boarding houses Men some
times speak Of the pinched fare
Men sometimes epeak Of the incon-

all that ministration of care, all that
drill of continuance, all that social
independence, al that subtitle atmos-

Bile, which belongs to the solitary
household, they miss. No man and
woman can make husband and wife,
father and mother, and householders
on the pattern of their fathers, who
begin and continue their married life
in this hotbed style of existence
And yet, they are unwilling TO take
. house that they can afford; and
they caunot afford TO take the house
that they fain would livein, because
society requires q certain amount Of
appearance, you know because it
would not do to 60 into the outskirts

A log cabin is better for young
married people than the Fifth Ave-

whole for nothingl What you got
for nothing is the least valuable to
you OF anything. What you earn is

the whole of life is written in the

them to live for other peoples eyes,

How does it teach them to be more

The Rev. C. T. O'Callaghan, pastor of the
church of st. Vincent de Paul, Mobile, Is
at present in our city, and staying, we be-
l;eve. at the house of Rev. j. Moynihan, on
Rampant street.
The church of st. Vincent de Paul in
Mobile was too small for the increasing
number of the congregation, but the times
we're too hard and the great majority of
the congregation too poor to admit OF their
undertaking to build new one. Every
effort was made and considerable ingenuity
exercised in economizing space, and cx-
tending the Accommodations so as to admita
larger congregation, though the steady
growth of the Catholics on that side OF the
city will, in few years, render a new and
much larger church necessary. AT present
Father O'Callaghan, who is jealous ana
energetic priest, highly respected in the
CITY of Mobile, and much beloved by his
congregation, has done all that was In his
mower to meet the wants of his congrega-
ton, and, having exhausted all his own
means and all that Jealous and generous
hit poor congregation could afford to give,
has come over among us to get tho means
of paving the small amount of arrears still
due for the necessary repairs on his church.
We know that the objects of charity IN
the city of New Orleans are numerous
enough in our churches, our charitable in
situations, and the poor whom We nave
always with us, and that our people are
ALWAYS generous and liberal as we'll al
charitable. But out of the abundance o
that very charity, which he knows sufil
ciently we'll to appreciate, the good Fathe
Thought he could easily raise the smal
amount that he requires. We hope, indce'
\ we are sure, that his appeal will be n sue
cessful one, and that he will be enabled, o
his nturn, to relieve himself and his worth
concrc Cation from the last remnant OF def
which theirzeal and their charity led the'
to incur.
Father O'Callaghan preached an eNceller
sermon last Sunday Fat the church OF ;
John the Baptist, and we> understand wi
preach at the 10 o'clock Mass>to- day, (Sul
day) in the church of st. Theresa, on tt
corner of Camp and Erato.
