An IMPUDENT TRIcK.-A Pittsburg paper gives
the following funny story is told of Rudi-
ger, one the parties sent to Jail to await trial for
feonously entering Foice's tobacco store. 1t
is saiG that few days ago he went to a rag
warehouse on Penn street, and passing around
to the rear, where there is a vast collection of
rags in crates and loose piles he rolled one of
the crates on to the scales Then stepping to
the back door, he called the book-keeper, who
was tn only person in the store, and requested
him to weigh and pay him for that crate of rags
The unsuspecting clerk carefully weighed the
rags and paid the fellow full price for that which
already belonged to the firm. Two or three
days afterwards, according to the story, Rudi-
ger went back to the place, and repeated the
performance in part. One of the proprietors was
called out this time to do the weighing, and i'm
mediately recognized the crate as one he had re-
ceived paid for and marked the day before
Rudiger protested that this was not the case,
and said that if the proprietor would wait mo-
ment he would bring man to prove his owner
ship of the rags. The proprietor waited, and
Rudiger went after " that man." and did not
come back.

WANTS TO BE ADMITTED.-It is expected that
three Territories will apply for admission as
States at the present session of Congress-Utah,
Colorado and New Mexico also that two new
Territories will apply for incorporation-Pem-
bina and Oklahoma. The former will comprise
an area of Territory on the Red River of the
North. to extend from Minnesota to Montana,
and from the forty-six to the forty-ninth degree
of north latitude. Oklahoma will be only re-
organization of the Indian territory, and if it is
formed it will be entitled to send an Indian del

OUR NEXT SENATOR.

The question as to who should succeed Hon.
Cornelius Cole, as United States Senator, was
virtually decided by a caucus of the Republican
members of the Legislature, held at Sacramento
on the 18th of the present month. All the Re-
publican Legislators, seventy-two in number
were present, and after futile attempt on the
part of those opposed to Mr.. Sargent to adjourn
the caucus, ballot was taken with the following
result: Sargent, 54; Cole, 10; FELTON,, 3 ;
Phelps, l Estee, Sargent receiving three
fourths of all the votes. On motion the nomi-
nation made unanimous. and in accordance
with established custom, all the Republican
members undoubtedly supported the caucus NOM
inee in the Joint Convention which was probably
held on Wednesday last, thereby securing his
election. In making this nomination, the mem
bers of the caucus have expressed the choice of
large majority of the Republicans of this State,
aswell as their own individual preference and their
action will be heartily approved. At the outset
of the Senatorial agitation, the JOURNAL took its
stand in favor of Mr.. Sargent, because we believed
that he was the best man for the place, that he
understood the wants of our people better, and
could accomplish more useful legislation, than
any other gentleman named. California has
never had Representative who has done as much
for the welfare of the State as Mr.. Sargent and
his promotion to the position of Senator is not
only just and fitting Endorsement of his past
career, but proves conclusively that the conf
dence reposed in bis integrity and ability is un-
bounded. In his position United States Sem
ator, the people of California will expect much
from Hon. A. A. Sargent, and judging the future
by the past they need fear no disappointment
RAlLRoAD.-Mr. Cadwalder of the 0. & C. R.

He is confident that the cars will run as high up
as Canon Bottom, nine miles below here, by next
August There will be no delay in the work
hereafter, as it is the intention of the Company
to complete the track to the Oregon line as soon
as possible. About 700 Cinnamon are grading
between Red Bluff and Cottonwood and the force
will be still further increased if the weather con-
tinues pleasant Mr.. VIM. Ludwig informs us
that steam p:le-driver will be put to work next
week driving piles for the railroad bridge across
Cottonwood, just above Brown or the old Jack

nation in history has ever paid any large
public debt without repudiation;' and that
''no nation has any right to make a large
public debt permanent in its character"-bold
language, says Georgia Democratic paper,
which twill strike responsive chord in the
hearts of thousands who say they have no part
or lot in the Federal debt, and are not re-
sponsible for it," A very apt and accurate
description of the position and feeling of the
Democratic party on the subject of the
national debt-they did not help to make it,
except as rebels, and will help to pay only SO
much of it as the honesty and fidelity of the
Republican party, while it remains in power,
shall compel them to do. For what else do
the Democratic outcries against taxation, and
their schemes of reputation, mean except
that they shave no part nor lot in the Federal
debt and are not responsible for it," The
Democratic party is morally incapable of
managing the finances of the country. That
party is pledged, by instinct as we'll as by
resolution, to repudiate the national debt and
break down the public credit. The credit of
the country and its sacred faith in the honest
payment of its just obligations are safe only
in the hands of those who are responsible
for the debt" not as criminals in rebellion,
or in completely Herewith, but:sas planning
and fighting, giving money and men, to the
bitter end, in crushing out the great

THE EPOLITICALT TENDENCY OF MODERN
CATHOLICISM.

From the N. Y. Times.
great change is to be marked in the tone
and purpose of the Ultramontane journals of
Europe within the past six months. 1t is
desirable to call attention to 1t here, because
of the fact that the same change has taken
place in the Roman Catholic journals OF our
own country. Pending the session of the
Vatican Council, and for some time after its
adjournment, or more properly its suspen-
sion, the extreme advocates OF the Papacy
directed their attention to the spiritual rela-
tions of the Church, as affected by the doc
trine of infallibility. All efforts on the part
of liberal Catholics, or of Protestants, to
point out the exclusively political results
which must flow from the enunciation of the
dogma, were denounced as schismatic and
distracting when urged by Catholic writer's,
and as based on misrepresentation when
urged by Proteste It's. 1t was alleged that
the unquestioned supremacy of the Pope as
the spiritual head of the Church was abso-
lutely indispensable to the idea of the
Church itself, but that his dominion was
purely spiritual and that whether or not the
Council should declare him infallible, the
duties of Catholics as citizens would remain
undisturbed by that fact.
The day that saw the enunciation of the
dogma of infallibility saw the declaration Of
war by Napoleon III, whose armed interven-
ton had long sustained the temporal power
of the Pope. The opening scenes of the war
had no sooner made it plain that this support
must be Withdrawn, than the Italian nation
seized the golden moment, and reincor-
porated the long -sundered States of the Church
with the body of Italy. NJ. Renan has elo-
quently recounted the compensation that
| Italy has been compelled to pay for having
furnished the world with the marvellous insti-
tution of the Papacy. This was in 1863. He
could not have supposed that within year
