Through its opposition to the propagation
OF the dogma Of Papal Infallibiity the Prus
sian Government has drifted into a conflict
with the Catholic Clergy. The long pend
ing case of the Bishop of Ermeland has at
last come to a crisis. That prelate having
persistently refused to recognize the sover-
eighty OF the State over the Church, the En-
peror William has formally sanctioned a
suit against the Bishop. At present the only
proceedings which it seems in the power OF
the State to institute must affect all Catho-
lies Unfortunately. Unless the Protes-
tants are 10 be likewise affected by these
measures, which is hardly probable, much
dissatisfaction is certain to arise between
the two classes.-ErchdHge.
Both the Church and the State in Europe
will learn after a while that they work in
different provinces, and that each is indie
pendent in its own province. The State can
not control religious belief, and it ought not
to attempt to control the free expression of
that belief through the forms of church or
ganizatlon and the Church should not, as
such, meddc in any way with government.

would be to call the state doubtful now,
with tOlerable certainty that it will vote

Greeley and Grant, there is no doubt that

RErRENcHMENT on rms VERMONT CENTRAL.
The St. Adams Messenger of Friday eve
nng says;
The work of cutting down expenses on the
Vt. Central has begun in earnest. Nearly
one-third of the train men are being dis
charged, while the remainder who have tC
assume their duties have their pay increased
only by one fifth Upward OF forty shop
hands have been discharged, and the pay OF
the remainder cut down from ten to fifty
cents each, per day. There is very much
less activity in the shops than heretofore
Some of the section men are also being dis
charged, and it any officers or clerks can be
spar d they vii; doubtless have to 20. OF
course the men do not enjoy it, and on many
Of them it falls hard at this time of the year,
but the managers are left no alternative
bnt to cut down every expense not absolute
ly necessary to the safe running of the road.
The Rutland Herald says that similar re-
trenchment is going on on that division Of
the road.

to date is thirty-four millions One week S
receipts still remain to be added to show the
receipts for the first quarter OF the fiscal

further reduction of taxation is possible.

nominated for Congress by the Republicans
of the Lowell (Mass.) District. His princi-
pal competitor in the convention was DR..

Judge Hoar was Pres. Grants first Atty

Republican than a partisan. His br other,
Geo. F. Hoar, a member of the present
Congress, has been re-nominated and will be
reelected from the Worcester (Mass.) Dis

The ERIE railroad, which it was popularity
supposed was stolen by Fisk, Gould & Co.,
was, with quite a flourish of trumpets, res
cued from Jay Gould's management after
Fisk's death and it was thought that 1t then
passed into honest hands. Now. however,
the New York newspapers are charging that
the new management is no better than the
old,-in short, that the change of officials
has only been a change from one set of plum
derers to another. Is there no such thing as
running the railroads in the interest Of the
stockholders?

The Central.

We alluded, last week, to the fact that
the Court of Chancery of this State was run,
ming the Vermont Central railroad, and had
been for many years; and we commend tc
the attention of the Legislature and the
Court and all parties interested, the follow.
ing forcible article on this aspect of the case
from the Burlington Free Press:
In the strengthening out which, without
change of control, the affairs of the Vermont
Central are likely to get, as consequence OF
the present complications, we trust some
measures will be taken in earnest to relieve
the Central and Vt. IL Canada from its pres
ent position as a ward in Chancery. AT
present, as for a number of years past, the
managers hold control of the road by virtue
of their appointment by the Court of Chan
Gerry of Vermont. They are responsible, IN
the first instance, only to the Court, and
they can do nothing except by order OF the
Court If the Court does not actually as
well as nominally run the road, 1t is because
to the extent of it's connection with the road
the Trustees run the Court.
This arrangement may have beehive
suppose was-a necessary one, when 1t was
made but it can only be justified as tenn
porary expedent. To permit it to run on
year after year, involving as it does the ere
alton of an immense trust debt, which takes
precedence of the securities which before
had the first lieu on the earnings and which
were taken by the holders in absolute conf
dence that their character such could not
be changed, can surely not be necessary or
expedent. In some way the concern should
be restored to the condition Of a corporation
with the usual powers and liabilities, and
whose officers are directly responsible to the
stockholders.
We know that it has been found difficult
to arrange the terms on which the different
kinds and classes of stock and bonds should
- 20 in - TO a new company but that can bC
arranged somehow. If possible In no other
way, the Court, for it's own credit, should
take the matter in hand, and compel The
change. Tho present condition of thing:
does not enhance the reputation of the COurt
OF Of the Road, and it cannot be doubted
that the concern would be far stronger, i
standing squarely as consolidated cOrpo-
ration. Had 1t been such, with power <

A Tale of Grant and Chandler.

Senator Chandler, now Harding
The lean earth about Washington,
has history. OF course he has,
and from time to time We have
given specimens of this charming
biography. One lately came to
is that is charming, as il not on
y illustrates old Zach, but calls
mp ii higher parsonage in an
engagement not put to record 10y
the historical Badeau. 1t seems
that when Grant { then Captain
Grant, United States Army Twas
stationed at Detroit, he one day
slipped and fell upon the snow
covered sidewalk in front Of Sen.
ator Chambers residence The
indignant Captain, whe went
down in a sitting position, with
the solid suddenness of a pile
driver, and saw stars, and beard
peals of merry laughter, got up
again, and vending his limping
way to the nearest magistrate,
entered complaint against old
Yardstick (said Chandler) for
failing to keep his sidewalk clear
of snow and ice, in accordance
with the ordinance in such case
made and provided. Now Chan,
dler appeared as his own attorney
and made defense. He set up
that the Captains fall down WAS
not occasioned by the accumuis
ted snow and ice, but by the
noble Captain being very drunk.
And then he went on TO tell,
much to the amusement of the
crowd how the noble Captain
was wont to get drunk and cut
up great whisky shines, 10 the
irritation of the solid men OF
Detroit. AS the crowd had seen
something of the sort, it encour
aged old Yardstick, who grew
eloquent and assaulted the gallant
Captain as he has since been
wont to assail the British lion
This so enraged the unhappy
officer that when the complaint
was dismissed he assaulted the
eloquent Zach with a horse whip
and before the admiriDg crowd
could interfere administered alive
ly castigatiou upon his eloquent
defamer.
This accounts for the Honcra

while wives in the Singular
number can do nothing of the
kind. So tits. A widow, or a
woman who is herself the head of

not. The plural wises of the

Polygamy is thereby made a sort

of $1,000 year as long as she
lived. We would remind our
