We hope that our German Catholic fellow
citizens, who form SO large and influential
portion of our community, will follow the eK-
ample of their country men in Cincinnati aud,
in some public manner, enter their protest
against the persecution Of the Religious Orders
recently instituted by Bismarck in Germany.
We are satisfied that call for meeting OF
this kind would be cheerfully responded to by
thousands of jealous German Catholics in our
city. A telegram from Cincinnati dated the
sth, reports the action of GermanS there as
follows:
Eight hundred German Catholics held q
meeting tonight and passed resolutions Of
from the German Empire. The meeting was
addressed by Father Leopold, one Of the ex'
PEELED Jesuits, who is now settled over
copies of their resolutions 70 Emperor Wilhelm
and Count Bismarck.

GAUGING THE PACIFIC RAILROAD.

Senator Kellogg is doing Louisiana
great service in contending that the gauge
of the Southern Pacific railroad shall be
the same west of Marshall, Texas, that it
is east of that point. If this is not had
then all goods shipped to the east upon
the road from Mexico or Western Texas
will be compelled to pay the expense of
transfer from the cars at Marshall. SEN
ator Hamilton, of Texas, opposes the sug
gestion, which Senator Kellogg introduced
in the shape of an amendment to the
Southern Pacific railroad bill, on the
ground that the capitalists who have
agreed to advance the money to build the
road will withdraw their offer if the gauge
Of the road is altered We can well under
stand the reason of Mr.. Hamilton's objec-
ton that it arises from his great desire to
force the trade Of the Pacific road to Gal
weston, and also from his minor design to
have the main depots of the road located
in Marshall. As neither of these consid-
erations are statesmanlike, or even honest,
considering that the entire country pays
part of the expense of the road which is
intendad to benefit the nation as well as
the State of Texas, il should be consid-
cred duty by the Senate to act in favor

LYMAN TRUMBULL,

There are few public men in this coun-
try at this time of more prominence than
Senator TrumbulL The bold stand he
has taken, in connection with other
distinguished citizens, in favor of reform in
the civil service of the country, and a
restoration of fraternal feelings among it's
citizens of all sections, has added new
strength and popularity to his formerly
well-established reputation as public
man. His independent nature, liberal
disposition, devotion to the principles of
self-government, and high standing as a
citizen and servant of the republic all con-
spire to render him not only valuable
colaborer in the great work Of reform and
reconciliation about to be inaugurated by
the Cincinnati convention, but point to
him as among the most suitable for filling
the highest offices within the gift of q free
people. Trumbull is one of the chief
figures of the great movement that will
soon eliminate in Cincinnati by giving to
the country party that can command
the respect and confidence of the great
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1872-04-28

General Grant is alarmed at last. and
begins to see that the policy Of his sup
porters in Louisiana is damning him po-
itically here and elsewhere. The neces-
sity for suppressing the evidence taken
before the congressional committee aroused
his chief counselors at Washington to ear
nest remonstrance-a very daring under
taking for them, too, but effectual in this
case, as it seems to. have convinced his
excellency that even a brother-in-law might
be permitted to at least resign, in order to
avert an impending danger. That Colonel
Casey is to retire from the collectorship is
now freely admitted by his adherents, but
the change comes too late to have the
harmonizing effect hoped from it. In fact,
from the jealousies and animosities which
will follow the selection Of any successor,
this tardy compliance with the popular
demand must prove source of additional
weakness rather than of strength. Had
the President removed Collector Casey in
response to the request of the Republican
party. made through the Long Branch
committee, or still later, when he tried to
turn over the State government to the
young Democrats of this city, our party
would to-day have been q unit in his sup
port for reelection, instead of in large
majority arrayed against him. As he
sowed, so shall he reap!

President Grant has been peculiarly un-
fortunate as regards Louisiana matters,
both in the manifestations of his stubborn
ness and the occasions when he yielded
to political pressure. He refused torecog-
nize the colored element conspicuously,
until forced to do SO by clamorous dele
cation within the walls of the White House
itself. thus destroying the moral support
and gratitude which distinction volun-
tarily conferred upon one of their race
would have won from that numerous class
Of our citizens. And when appealed to
for an exercise of his powers that would
bind together and harmonic the Repub-
lican party in Louisiana, he contemptu-
ously turned deaf ear, only to now offer
terms of reconciliation and compromise
when confidence in his wisdom and pa
triotism is destroyed forever. General
Crafts sacrifice of Casey at this late day
will not restore to him the electoral vote
of Louisiana which Governor Warmoth
and the Republican party were willing to
have given him.
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1872-04-28

It is now definitely understood that
Collector James F. Casey is shortly to re-
tire from the control of the customs
of this "port" for diplomatic mis-.
sion abroad Mexico is indicated as
the country reserved for this distinction.
1t is one of no common significance. The
brilliant talents and poetic imagination of
Mr.. Casey will find in this land of the
"sun' and the congenial Inequalities of
its people, the luxurient cultivation which
our sterile country has denied them. If
by possibility he should grow weary Of the
intrigues of court and tales of revolution,
a short tour of inspection through the
mining districts of SonoA and Durango
will afford him subject for treaties in
which the ''big brother-in-law" will find
food of interest.
It must not be understood, however,
that we intimate by this that Mr.. Casey
goes to Mexico to look after his brother
in-law's mining interests. He would hardly
expect the United States government to
pay, as an ambassador the expenses of his
travelling agent. An ordinary Chicago
runner would do for that

A Jury TRIAL.

A termination peculiar to jury trials was
had in criminal case in Brooklyn, New
York, last week. Fanny Hyde shot man
who had improperly used her, and vas
put on trial for murder. After regulation
prosecution and regulation defense, the
judge charged the jury, and the venire was
locked up away from any outside infu-
ence. The day passed, and there was no
verdict. Twenty-Five hours were reeled
off by old father Time, and still there was
no result Inquiry being made Of the
bailiff as to the continued existence Of the
jury, he Investigated the subject, and dis
covered that eleven of the jurors were con-
tending for their freedom against the OBJ
stinacy of one man. This solitary indi-
vidual insisted on finding an unqualified
verdict of manslaughter, while the eleven
could not find it in their consciences to
return any other report than that
the woman was "not guilty" Now,
the peculiar part of the business
is this that in order to escape from the
jury room the eleven had even offered to
return verdict of guilty, as the obstinate
juror insisted they should, but they wanted
to fix the penalty at one thousand dollars
fine. And on this point they stood, the
one everything the eleven. What are we
to think Of the many who proposed to re-
turn an unjust verdict? It is true they
had agreed among themselves to raise the
money to pay the fine, and this they con-
sidered would atone for their desertion of
their oaths. What did they care for the
character that would attach to the pris-
oner by the rendition of their verdict?
What did they suppose the world would say
of them, that being charged upon oath to
give judgment according to the law and
the evidence, they consented to do other
wise at the instance Of one obstinate man ?
Report being made to the court how the
matter stood the jury was dismissed and
Mrs. Hyde was released upon bail The
above may be considered the analysis of
what jury trials are nowadays

The sore straits which the Picdyl,ae
and Bee have got into by their political
tergivisation have at last excited the COM
passion of the Citizens Guard, which can
no longer trust to them their own defense.
The Guard has too much at stake to sit
quietly and see these journals pushed to
the wall Their indirect support of Grant
it counts upon as matarial aid. The terms
of the coalition, apparently, consist in
the so-called conservative journals furnish
ing responsibility and the Guard supplying
impudence. Brains is altogether out Of
the question on either side

There are reports that strong attempt
is being made to secure the appointment
of General Longstreet TO the relationship.
The President is said to approve the sug-
gestion, believing the close friendship ex-
isting between the General and Governor

to cease his opposition to his (Grant's)

WHAT WE WANT.

Ever since the world began, self-lnterest
has been the ruling principle Of mankind
Communities and individuals are alike
governed by it, and political as well as
social laws are made subservient to its
dictates. In this country our necessities
are as varied as localities, and dissimilar
views of government and political inter-
ests are inharmonious and antagonistic.
Hence numerous political parties have
arisen with different views and policies.
What suits the East is rarely in accordance
with the wishes of the West; 80, too, is it
with the North and South. Either the
tariff or some question Of national policy
involves discriminating advantages for one
section, and in this way begets the hostility
of the rest.
But there is common ground where all
can meet and agree. 1t consists in equal
and exact justice to all. The States of the
Union should stand upon common level
before the general government. New York
is entitled to no more consideration than
Louisiana. They both contribute their
quota to the support of the country, but
the benefits derived have always been in
favor of the North. This has occasioned
dissatisfaction, and added not a little to
the bitterness Of civil war. Being an ex-
porting community, her contributions to
the national revenue are great greater,
perhaps, than other States, inasmnch as
the duties upon imports fall mainly upon
exporting communities. At all events, it.
has entitled Louisiana to something from
the general government assistance
in rendering her rivers navigable, and
opening lines of railway through the
Southwest and Atlantic seaboard.
While the North and West are reaping
the advantages Of the great international
route between the Atlantic and Pacific, and
creating direct line of travel from Europe
to the Indies-a country not less fertile
an enterprise not less grand is awaiting
development by line Of railway from
New Orleans through Texas, and the Mex
lean States of chihuahua and Sonora on
to Lower California. It would not only
afford market quick and profitable to the
great Southern staples, but creating facii-
ties for transportation would extend the
area of their cultivation twenty fold. The
rich prairies of Texas would no longer be
idle; the valleys of Mexico would awaken
into life and industry, and the virgin Wild
erness of the Southwest blossom as the
rose.
Commerce, stimulated by the increased
advantages it would derive from such an
enterprise, would soon make our city the
great commercial mart of the country
It would be magic salve to all the
wounds Of the war, and fortune following
on the heels of industry would make the
Southwest the richest, as it is the fairest
country under the sun.
To realize such a picture of hope it is
only necessary for the national govern
ment to extend US half the aid it has &C
corded more favored regions. The returns
for such an investment will greatly exceed
even present calculations, and add another
link of commercial power and strength to
The stability of the nation.

masses OF. the people, who ars now de-
manding reform in national and State adj
ministrations. The position thus gained
Oy nun has been secured by his devotion
TO principles and the best interests Of the
people; and this position now gives him
prominence for still higher civic honors.
Mr.. Trumbull is looked upon as a suitable
person to fill the Presidential chair of this
great nation, and his name is likely to 60
before the convention for that high posi-
ton. Over thirty years OF his life have
been spent in the public service. He was
elected to the Illinois Legislature in 1910;
served as Secretary of State two years
184142; was chosen Justice of the Supreme
Court of Illinois in 1848, and served until
1858; in 1854 was elected to the lower
branch of the United States Congress, and
the following year was elected to the
United States Senate, and has been hon
ored with that position ever since, being
now in his third term. When treason and
rebellion threatened the integrity Of the
republic, Lyman Trumbull remained true
to the central government and voted with
its friends in Congress for all the sinews
of war necessary to conquer the rebellion.
No man in Congress gave a more earnest
or more active support to the government
for the suppression Of the rebellion than
Mr.. Trumbull, and when the war had ter
minated, he was just as earnest in his de-
sire to have peace and good will re-estab-
ished among his countrymen. For this
reason he now favors universal amnesty,
and is opposed to federal Entertainments
upon the local affairs of States; is opposed
to the military tendencies of President
Grants administration in time of peace,
and to the system of favoritism and cor
ruption that marks the civil service of the
country at this time with such damaging
and dangerous effects Nh. Trumbull is
true and earnest worker in the great re-
form movement of the Liberal Republican
party.

The ambitious young Democrats whom
Casey, Packard & Co. agreed to make
Governors, Senators, etc., last January,
are still vainly striving to achieve their
hopes in accordance with that compact"
Packard has instructed them to indorse
the resolutions denouncing Governor War
moth, and the Bee supports the suggestion.
1t seems, however, that even these fiery
young leaders fear to put the question to a
direct issue, and cunningly propose to get
the thing through by dodge, as they had
it adopted originally. The ward clubs are
to be called together in a few days, and
general resolution indorsing the Demo-
cratic convention, and its acts and senti-
ments carried under the lash. The attempt
to thus commit their party to the indorse-
ment ola generally and justly denounced
trick, is not likely to add to the popular
estimation Of their fitness for political
leadership, especially as the Customhouse
cloven foot hidden in it has now been ex-
posed. A little more rope, Mr. Packard.
