The Radicals Want a Religious
War.

The New Albany (Indiana) Ledger
says:
awe regret to see staid journal like
the Cincinnati Gazette so persistent in
it's efforts to stir up religious strife in
this country. We can not conceive
what possible benefit is to be derived
from such a course, and we can see
much harm resulting from it. 1t is a
good deal better to keep pure and un.
defled religion out f the dirty pool of
politics. One of the two-politics OF
religion-will certainly be injured in the
contest, and we are pretty certain that
it will not be the former"
The demagogues and hypocri!ical
leaders of Radicalism are just now de-
ing their best to inaugurate another
Know Nothing crusade against foreign
born citizens also are trying to inaug'
rate religious war between Catholics
and Protestants. The People will not
suffer themselves to be deluded by those
scoundrels who would plunge the coun.
try into an endless, bloody strife in or
der that they might grow rich and re-
tain power by prowling around rebbing
in the name of the Lord, the living and
the mutilated, mangled dead. Frowr
upon their double headed hypocricy.

The Orangemen's Oath.

Mr.. Gould, one of the Orange Chiefs
of New York, in an interview with a
Sun reporter, explained the oath requir.
ed of members in the United States:
Reporter-"An argument against
your society is that an Orangeman can
not become citizen of the United
States without breaking his oath of per
petual allegiance to the Queen of Eng,
land, and in that case he would cease to
be an Orangeman."
Mr.. Gould-"That is not true. We
owe no allegiance to the Queen of En-
gland. Our oath reads as follows:
THE ORANGE OATH.
"sAnd l further declare that will, to
the utmost of my power, support the
laws of the United States as long as
they maintain civil and religious free.
dom, and that l will, as far as in my
power !ieth, assist the Chief Magistrate
and all other loyal authorities in the
lawful execution of their several duties
to maintain order and peace if called
upon to do so.'

ted States and 'Chief Magistrate fol-
: England and 'Qneen,' and swear tc

The Ku kluX Investigation.

Besides the real testimony given be-
fore the Ku Klux Committee, there is q
good deal of documentary ee parte evi.
dence in the shape of letters that have
come up from the South addressed to
different members, showing the terrible
condition in which the States have been
plunged by the rule of Radicals, carpe:-
baggers and scalawags. The informa-
ton from Mississippi especially presents
an appalling picture of oppressive tax
alton, and no prospect OF relief except
by remedial legislation. Thousands of
the best and most industrious citizens
of the State are doomed to witness the
sacrifice of the little property they have
saved since the war, all because the last
legislation did not represent the bona
tide taxpayers of the State, but was
controlled by ring of coruptionists
and extortioners. This is, perhaps, not
exactly the sort of testimony the ma
jority of the Ku-Klux Committee want,
but it has its effect in showing the ac,.
ual condition of portions of the South,
and how the people are ground down.

Scalawags and Radical pet-baggers
are responsible for nearly all Of the dis.
turbances in the South. Yet MORTON
BUTLER, GRANT & Co, are determined
to so SANDER the Southern people, in
the Ku-Klux report, that GRANT will is
sue his proclamation, that owing to The
disturbed state OF affairs, in the South
ern States, they are "hereby declared
under martial law"
That will prevent their Electoral vot'
being cast for Dem oerat in 1872, anC
that is the foundation of all the perse
cution that has been visited upon TIT
South. They are as peaceable and law
abiding as people, as are the people o
the North; but their Electoral vote
would be cast against the Radical can
didate, and that is, in Radical estima
ton, sufficient ground for slanderins
and disfranchising them.

UNHAPPY DEMocRATs.-Much amuse-
ment was occasioned in the House. the
other day, In the debate on the Diplo-
matte and Consular Appropriation
bill, by an incident In which certain
Democratic leaders were literally
"hoist by their own petard." Messrs.
Wood and Eldridge were engaged In a
bitter attack upon the President and
his expenditures Of the secret service
fund, arguing that this fund ought to
be abolished; that 1t was contrary to
tho genius of our institutions to permit
such a peculiar element of powerto re-
main in the hands of the President,
with 80 many chances of its being cor
ruptly used when Mr.. Kelsey, of New
York. who had charge of the bill,
quietly sent for the Globe, and, Mt the
conclusion of the gentlemen's remarks,
he sent some Of their old speeches up
to the Clerks desk to be read. These
speeches were made IN 1868, when they
rs stoutly defended the fund and the
use Of 1t made by President johnson,
against the criticisms Of Republicans
at that time. There was a burst of
laughter, and Eldridge wlgglsd out Of
it by saying he had no doubt he was
wrong then; but 1t ended the debate.

The OLD Thing AaAN.-Senator
Bonnifield, Of Humboldt affords an
illustration Of the enthusiasm of a new
conner. He has been about as conyivial
and easy-golng a rollicker as could be
found In the State; Is familiar with
"Wont 20 home till morning"
"Here's to No. l." "What's the mat
ter, Susy," and all that sort of thing ;
but now he Is running reform on the
broad guage. . He wants to legislate to
enable an Indignant spouse to recover
damages for a ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
black eye, q hot stove In n bit of n
scrimmage, or any little thing like
that-recover damages of the man that
sold the whisky which inspired the per-
Torrance. He wants to make corpo-
rations responsible for negligence of
intoxicated employees. And he finally
wound up the crusade last Thursday
by inviting the Senate to a glass Of cold
water and a shower bath, on the occa-
sion of an installation of the Good
Templars. Verify, Bonnifield Is anus
ing-"from grave to gay, from lively
to seyere"-and there's no telling what
he's dressed under for-probably the
priesthood. If he keeps on rs he's be-
gun, he'll be illustrlous yet.-lYhite

TIE subsidy business in Congress
never carried so bold a front nor COW
cred such amounts as just now. They
surpass In number aud extravaganza
all that any previous session Of Con-
gress ever produced, or probably ever
will. The following are the names Of
such as Immediately engage the coll
sidcration Of Congress: American and
European, American and Ocean, Medi-
terranean and Oriental, New York and
Antwerp, New Orleans and Vera Cruz,
Sun Francisco and Australia, and the
Pacific Mail Increased subsidy for the
China line,. All these are steamship
projects, to run variously from ten to
thirty years. The total sum for subsi-
dizing asked is $4,6S0,0O0 per annum,
or 81, 800, 900 for the thirty years. The
first two demand 81, zoe, 900 each per
annum, the former for fifteen years,
and the other for thirty. The highest
amount asked by any n of the re-
mainder Is $7S0,0O0 a year, and the
lowest $4,000, both for a term OF
fifteen years. This Is a pretty good
exhibit for n session. The prospect
of getting these schemes through, how
ever, Is not very flattering. The pro-
iectors, 1t is to be feared, will find that
republics are ngrateful, and that their
patriotism Is not appreciated.

NUDE SPIRrTUALIsM.-rhe subjoined
occurs IN the San Francisco Chronicles
report of Elder Grants sermon on the
evening Of the 9Th:
In the course of his address, Mr..
Grant said that he knew q man In this
city who had dark sp~irituallstic 'cir-
cles" at his house, the persons taking
part in them being in a nude state.
The man had already two wives In this
city, both of whom he had abused so
badly that they had not been able to
live with him. He had heard that man
speaking on the platform in Dashaway
Hall not long since ; he was In the hall
then lat the time Mr.. Grant was saying
the abovel and if he would step upon
the platform, he would repeat what he
had said. [Chesrs,1 It Is hardly

A LAZY HusBAND.-The San Fran
cisco Chronicle Of the 9TH instant gives
the following:
A novel divorce ease was tried be-
fore Judge Dwinelle last Saturday.
Dennis Riordan sued his wife for a d.
yorce and one-half the property, on
the ground of extreme cruelty. The
evidence showed that Mrs. Riordan
supports not only her family of chill
dren, but also her husband, who has
not done anything toward providing
for her since he came from the States,
which he was enabled to do only by n
ticket which his wife sent him, he hay
ing spent the passage money which she
had forwarded him some time before.
On arriving he refused to do anything
toward supporting the family, although
Mrs. Riordan procured him employ
ment. Not relishiug tho idea Of hay
ing all the responsibility on her Shout
ders, Mrs. Rlordan one day spoke to
her husband in q very excited manner,
ending by throwing q stick of wood at
him, which took e"ec. though not
causing much injury. Upon this Is
based the allegation of "extreme cru
city" Judge Dwinelle did not think
that the evidence showed "extreme
cruelty" and as the man had done
nothing toward supporting his wife
and family, and as he was fully capa-
BILE of so doing. he did not think he
would suffer much from the conduct of
the defendant. The application for
divorce was denied, aud the balance of
the money ($l,250h which had been
drawn from the bank and paid over to
the Clerk Of the Court to abide the de-
clslon. and of which Riordan had re-
ceived n good portion through stipula-
ton of counsel, was returned to Mrs.

Life Under ExtrsSrdi-
nary Circumstances.

From tho Cincinnati Chronicle, Jan. 24th.l
We have just been placed in posses
sion Of the facts of a case a little out
of the general run, which we hasten to
give to our readers. Conductor Drury,
Of the Pacific express train on the Pan
Handle Railroad, which left Columbus
at 8 o'clock on Friday evening last,
when between Steubenville and Dem
nison, was notified that a lady passen-
ger desired to speak with him. Upon
arriving at her side he found her evil
IDENTIFY In some trouble and embarrass-
ment. To his affirmative response to
the query whether he was q married
man, the lady stated that she was on
her way from Cincinnati to meet her
husband in New York, and that a crisis
was impending, involving the appear
ancs Of an additional passenger. This
startled the conductor, Of course ; but,
with q heart as big as an elephant, he
set to work to make the lady comforta-
BILE. All the passengers were hastily
shutf1ed into another car, and such
female assistance as could be procured
on the train was brought into requlsi-
ton. In a brief time the little stran-
ger-af fine bouncing girl Is the phrase
put IN an appearance, and the conduc-
tor congratulated himself OH his happy
escape from q dilemma. With n heart
overlooking with sympathy. he ar
ranged al impromptu wardrobe for the
very young lady from his own under
clothing. 1t was not exactly In the
style Of those "infants' outfits adver-
tised In the New York papers, yet 1t
served n good purpose.
But here the history of the unusual
case does not end. The train left
Steubenville OH time, and was soon
laundering. through and around the
hills Of West Virginia, when the con-
ductor met with another shock. This
time 1t was q "fine, bouncing boy"
Where would all this end? The per-
~spiration started from tho conductors
brow. Two already-one a Buckeye
and the other q Pan-Handler. The
remainder of Drury's linen went, Of
course, to start the little fellow OH his
journey through the world, and ar
rangements were about being made
with some Of the passengers for a
further supply when tho pleasing nm
nouncement reached him that "the
mother felt very well, considering"
The engineer WAS then "rung" to put
on steam, and in the course Of time the
train reached Pittsburg, and the lady
and the two %unticketed passengers
we're tenderly conveyed to comfort
able quarters at the Union Depot
Hotel, when n telegram was forwarded
to the husband, In New York. The
later history we are unable to tell, but
it may be imagined that the husband
was lifted out of his boots at the an
nouncement and hurried to the side of
his greatly increased family.
