ANOTHER GREAT POLITICAL

From the Richmond Whig, II
The Southern States, under any fair ap-
portionmcnt that may be adopted, will
have twelve more than third of the rep
rcscntation in Congress and in the Electo-
raj College. United and harmonious, this
would constitute Il power adequate for self
protection, ifnot sufficient To control the
action of the Government. We have COM
mon intcrest-onc especially Of towering
and controlling influence, capable of wicld-
ing the whole Southern population, black
and white, into one solid mass for joint and
common action. Slavery has been abolish
ed. But iSldrcry has neror bon pail for.
1t was constitutional and vested right, if
there be such n thing. No Government
ever conliscatcd such property and of
such magnitude without compensation to
the individual. 1t would be mon strous
if it did, and it would unscttle and con-
found and leopard all other rights. The
black can be made TO have the same intc-
rest in this right rs the whites. The mar
ket value of the property at the outbreak
OF the war was estimated ut 5000, 100000.
The half Of that sum might redress the
whites, ttc other hdJ tcOuM console Ii. c.,
bribe) ho blacks, and prove far more sub
stantial blessing than the imaginary "mule
and 40 acres Of land"
We have no idea Of pressing this recla-
nation ut the present time. But il is a
shot in our locker, which We arc unwilling
To surrender, and would be ready 10 use
whenever opportunity presents itself. A
Southern Conferences, either the COMING
Winter or ut some future timo, can argangc

Ugly Figures.

The Irish Roman Catholic rioters rob
the people by heavy taxes to pay fraudu-
lent and trumped up accounts, and their
design is TO get the power and rob and
plunder every county and State in the
same way.
The New York Times continues to print
transcripts from Controller Connolly's
books, every item of which is enough to
convict the auditing officers Of criminal
extravaganza, and forever silence those
carping journals and speakers who, driven
to extremity for complaint against the Re
publican party, charge it with q want of
economy. Taken together and closely scru-
tinizcd rs to date, service performed, and
parties to whom paid, these entries make
up a record that is absolutely damning !;
and after these unanswcrablc exposures of
the Times our faith in the efficiency and
pcrpctuity of popular government will be
seriously shaken if criminal proceedings are
not speedily instituted against the princi-
pal officers inculpated.
The last batch Of accounts published
embraces the payments to one Andrew j..
Garvcy during portion of 1869 and 1870,
which amount in all to S2,S70, AGA O6.-
Now, be it known that Andrew j. Garvey
is plastcrer, and this modest sum of mon
oy was paid him, or ostensibly paid to him,
for plastering and other repairs in the
various county buildings. Here are few
of the items:
May G, 1870, For plnstcring in Court
houses, December 4, 1860 ,G@5 G7
May II. 1870. For plastcring and maj
son work IN same, December ., 1863, 45,353 02
Mas IL, 1870. For painting and deco
rating in the same, Dec. -, 1862. f., ,225 S5

rating in same, December 81, 1862. 4i,C94 81

rating in some, December 90, 1862. di,2S1 16
May u, 1870. For plastcring and ma
son work in same, December IL, 1869 1904 4G
| 1t is useless to extend the list. These
charges are no higher than an average OF
the whole, and together comprise less than
onc-fuuith of those mad for work perform
ed in the single month of December, 1869.
The total amount of charges for work done
in that month--manly for plastcring and
repairs to court-houscs and olliccs-is con-
siderably over one million of dollars. Dc
cembrr must hereafter be set down rs Il
remarkably good month for plastcring,
even in the cold climate of New York, no
matter what the previous opinions of house
builders may have bcon. And Andrew j.
| Garvey is certainly the luckicst plastcrcrs
if he really retained all the earnings ac-
credited to him for those thrty-onc days.

GEO. 0. EVANS TRYING TO DErLETE
TIE STATE TREAsURY.-In 1867 the State
Legislature passed law authorizing the
Governor to appoint u State Agent to set
tic and collect the war claims Of the State
against the general government, and he was
to be compensated by sum not 10 Cccccd
ten per cent Of thCanounL collected. Geo.
O.. Evans, Of Philadelphia, was appointed
the \ gent, and has since been engaged in
the duties coming under that appointment,
and in some dUtttS exceeding the appoint
mcnt. y large amount had been paid on
the State claims before Evans was appoint
ed. On all these, as well as Oh what he
has collected, he claims ten per cent,
amounting to about three hundrcd utOuS0nd
dollars, ard pa. himself out Of what he
has collected, Every body will sec what
this amount is beyond all just compensa-
tion for his labors, and the Republican
officers at Harrisburg having "ward and
watch" over tho peoples money, IIar-
tranft, Auditor General, and MaCkey,
State Treasurer, have no idea of permitting
the public money to be so wickedly misap-
propriatcd, and have served notice on
Evans to pay over to the State Treasury
the whole amount Of his collections or
legal proceedings will be commenced
against him. While despising Evans for
his disposition to rob the State, we feel it
just to the Auditor General and State
Treasurer to give them credit for their un-
hesitating determination to bring the re-
crcant State agent to justice and to recover
the misappropriated State money. 1t
shows that the public interests are safe in
Republican hands, and that no such rob-
berries as have been prapotrated in New
York will be permitted herc.-LeCdnon

from speaking.
OeDENsBURG, Aug ia large num-
bcr of persons, including formidable
riotous clement, gathered last evening at
the hall in which Baron de Camin, the
anti -Cotholic lecturer, was mobbed the
evening previous. The doors of the hall
were closed, and on the arrival of the lec-
turer he was conducted by the police to
police headquarters for protection, where n
largo mob assembled.
Subsequently the authorities called for
volunteers, and large number of citizens
responded and were sworn in as special
policemen, and, together with the regular
force, succeeded in clearing the streets,
when the lecturer was escorted to his
boarding house. Intense feeling against
the mob prevails, and the citizens arc or
ganizing to vindicate the right of free
speech. Offers of assistance have been re-
ccived from the neighboring towns.
FREE SPEECH INDICATED.
OGDENsBURa, August 1S.-The excite
mcnt about Baron Dccamin's lecture is
abating. One of the rioters bailcd on
Wednesday assaulted one of the most re.
spectacle citizens to-day and gave himself
up, and was again bailcd. Decamin de-
| livcred his lecture this afternoon Mt the
Skating Rink, before good audience, un-
der the protection Of the Mayor and police.
No attempt was made to disturb him. lie

FATHER HECKER, q prominent Roman
Priest, in New York, asserts in the church
paper and on all public occasions that be-
fore the end of this century this great ma
ton Of ours will be as much under Roman
Catholic rule, as Rome was, till lately made
free.
In Rome, till within the last two years,
Protestant worship was not allowed, and
no Protestant church allowed TO be built
or opened or held. No bibles sold or dis
tributed. No prayer meetings.
The "Catholic lVorld,' the Chief Roman
Catholic organ in this country says, "that
the State has no rights only through the SUI
pcrior authority of the Romish church. "
This is the unqualified assertion of the su-
premc political authority of the church in
this enlightened day, as it was in the mid
night of the middle ages.
1t is not the religious faith of the Roman
church that is assailcl, but its political p,r-
poses, rs they become more and more uu-
vcled and exposed to public gaze.
If the Pope is iydHiLle, and he pro.
claims q dcspotism the best form of Govern
ment, then the whole Romish church must
obey, and dungeons, aud chains, and the
fire and iaggot must become the order ofthC
day, and we relapse into political barbar'
ism.
Let all men, who love our free republic
beware Of the power of n church, thai
claims that Government exists only by its
permission.

REfdaIoUs TonERhTIoN.-Th glory of
our free Government is, chat not only are
all men free and equal, but all churches,
and all denominations, aud all religious,
are free and equal, whether Roman Catho-
lie, or Protestant, or Jew, or Mohamme-
deli, or Pagan, or Infidel, all are free to
worship God according to the dictates OF
their conscience.
While we guarantee to the Roman Catho-
lie church freedom to worship God as they
wish, and all the power to the Government
is pledged to protect that church IN their
rights, and while the Protestant church
would rise up rs one man to protect the
Roman Catholic church in its freedom TO
worship God, yet VIC demand that they
shall not in this free country, do as they
have done in Europe where they have pow
er, refuse to other churches and other re-
ligions, the right of free worship.
The battle to be fought with the Roman
Catholic church in this country, is not
against their creed, or their faith, or
their religion, but it is for religious freedom
and liberation.
We claim that the Protestant, the jew,
the Mohammaden, the Pagan, the iniidel
shall be left free to worship according to
the dictates of their conscience and none
to molcst or make them afraid. We claim,
that all churches and all denominations,
and all religions shall be let alone. Mr..
Pope "hands off," no inquisitions. no dun
gcons, no tortures, no burning of hcrctics,
no mobs, or riots.
These arguments viii not suit our free
country. We give you freedom and We
guarantee that to you, and VIC ask that
and no more, for all other churches.

Our ncighbor of the Guard has become
quite warm on the subject of labor, and
manifcsts great interest for the laboring-
men since the democratic primary election.
lie says, "thc democratic party is the true
place for our workingmen, and there they
will find an adequate remedy for their
wrongs-a proper equilibrium between Ia
Dor and capital" This open confession
should convince any one tlrat the whole OBJ
.ject is to merge the Labor Union and mod
crn Democracy. How will the members OF
the Labor Union, favorable to q protective
tariff, as laid down in their platform, like
the idea of joining in with the party who
openly advocate free trade and arc con-
stantly deyising plans to bring American
labor on q level with the pauper labor o.
Europcp Can the senior editor of tho
Guard have tho frankness to state whether
he connected himself with the Labor Union
for the purpose of advocating its principles
or whether it was only to aid in merging
the order into the Irish Catholic element o.
