Eaton weekly Democrat. [volume] (Eaton, Ohio) 1866-1875, 1873-10-23

Privy Counselor to the Queen, and that he will
be defeated on the meeting of Parliament.
The Evangelical Alliance, after a brief ses-
sion of one week, at New York, has dissolved.
Notwithstanding the outward harmonious
aspect of it's deliberations, it is apparent there
were troubles under the surface which may
yet tend to much acrimonious ecclesiastical
wrangling on technical points. One of these
troubles has already developed itself in the
form of a protest, signed by seventy of the
foreign delegates, against the attitude of the
Alliance toward the Roman Catholics and
Bishop Tozer, recently a missionary Bishop
in Central Africa, addresses a letter to
Bishop Potter, Of New York, .~inveighing
against the Dean of Canterbury for partakIng
of with ouSregationallsts, Presby-
terians, and others outside Of tho pale of the
Church Of Ensia:Id the Bishops principal
distress being, the example of the Dean Will
induce many people i'll England of the Estab-
lished Church to stray away into the fold of
the Roman Catholic Church. The Mexican
Congress has made a number of radical re-
forms, which have been formally decreed, and
among them the separation of Church and
State freedom of religious opinion recogni-
ton of marriage as a civil contract dispos-
session of the property of religious lnstltu-
tions, and the suppression of monastic orders.
In view of ecclesiastical opposition to some of
these measures, the Jesuits have been ordered
to leave the country.
THE st. Louis Times processes to have got
wind of a grand scheme for the conquest of
the Northern States of Mexico. The whole
story sounds apocryphal. A brief outline of
the project is thus given: The Texas Pacific
railroad is being constructed from both ter
mini, and work will finish about the middle of
the route somewhere near Ell Paso, Texas.
Some 10, 900 laborers will be engaged ON the
route, and when the work is completed they
will be discharged i'll a country in which it will
be impossible for them to obtain employment /:
and as such men are generally improvident and
without money, they will be glad to accept
anything that may offer. These men are to be
organized into a grand fibusterinS army,
under the direction of a society which is al
ready formed. furnished with arms, and they
will then marchs over the Northern States of
Mexico and raise the flag of independence in
each of them. The next step will
pie, as WAS the case with Texas.
....Some time ago a Grange of the Patrons of
Husbandry was organized in Boston, composed
of grain and commission merchants. Many
Patrons seriously protested against the admis-
sion of grain spectators into the order, MAIN
tanning that such a course would be disastrous
to its interests, and demanded that the Boston
Grange should cease to exist. In Difference
to these complaints, GIL and Master Dudley w.
Adams some time ago revoked its charter, and
directed the surrender of its books and
papers but the Boston Grange refuses to
obey the Grand Masters mandate, and viii
appeal the question to the National
Grange.
