Greeley isouton another tourthrough

Greeley isouton another tour through
the Northwest. 1t is very apparent
that he would like to be President
though he refers to the affair in a very
modest manner. The editer-farmer is
quite successful in getting out large
audiences, good deal more so, per
haps, than he will be in finding friends
that will favor his nomination. In
every respect one of the best political
writers of the nation, he succeeds as an
editor, and if theory is a good thing,
he would succeed as farmer, but as a
President where an executive ability is
necessary entirely different from what
he has manifested, we fear that the
people could do him no greater injury
than by taking him from his present
post and sending him to the White
House. Evidently Grant is to be next
President, unless he positively declines,
The people are generally satisfied with
him and his style of reducing the pub
lie debt.

MIR. EDITOR: In your last issue an

.
Mr.. EDITOR: In your last issue an
item from Bellaire informs your readers
that Roman Catholic Priest was
driven from that city for violating his
vows of charity (by his parishoners.)
Now this goes to show, first, that the
Lay members of the Bap:st Church dc
not uphold the immortality thatso often
characterizes the Papal Priesthood.
Second, that they are acquainted with
the fact proven by their own Historians,
and confirmed by those who have left
their communion on account of such
immoralities, that Auricular Confes-
sion is made regular means of seduc-
tion and aid to the grossest immortality
and thirdly, that their church has al.
ways covered up such immoralities by
merely charging the guilty party to
some other place to cover up the tenn
porary scandal for there are few or no
cases Of the Papist church Furnishing
such conduct, as any person who viii
read the writings of Hogan, Bellarmine,
Bossuet, De La Hogue, Thomas Aglinas
and others can testify. nov 8
Does any one acquainted with the
above facts say that the trial of this
party will be anything but mere
mock trial? Further / would call the
public attention to facts occurring at
Cleveland, Ohio. A Quack managed
to sell on the strength Of forged recon-
mendations, some worthless nostrums
to certain of the papist clergy at very
high rates. The swindle being discov-

Omciai Honesty.

h The Cincinnati Commercial makes
the following observation concerning
Commissioned Douglass.
s'As for his honesty it will compare
with Pleasanton's to say the least and l
rather think it will com pare, with any
body's. know something about it.
While he was Collector, his Deputy
ran off with SIT 200 of hegovernment's
money. 1t was shown that Douglass
was wholly blameless in the matter
that no foresight or care could have
prevented the embezzlement. Under
the circumstances, any court in equity
would. never held him responsible
The government itself would have
passed bill of relief for him without
debate, upon plain statement of the
facts. Acting against advice of his
bondsmen he assumed the responsible
| ty, and began to make the loss good to
the government out of his own pocket.
He obtained an abatement Of two or
three thousand dollars, though some
fact subsequently ascertained, and has
since, every year gradually lessened
the amout by disposing of his property
and living economically. He has al
ready paid nine thousand dollars of the
amount and is now negotiating for the
sale of the homestead, owned by his
wife, in order to clear up the balance.
The sale has probably ere this been
cOnsummated. What government.
officer would have done SO much? Did
you ever hear of such case? An off.
Ger, even if loss occurs through his
carelessness or criminality, does not
make restitution once in a hundred
times. 1t isn't the way. If you can
cheat the government, do it; it will be
good joke. Nobody is ever punished
for robbing the government
