Few OF Thorn Have to Say About
Caesarism.
Only few Of our religious contemporaries
have as yet taken up the subject that is agi-
tating the secular press all over the country,
to wit-"Cpsarism, or the proposition to
elect General Grant for third term. In due
time, no doubt the religious press will be-

the Independent, "let these simple, common
sense considerations furnish you with, at least,
few morsels of comfort. The next Presi-

they will be entirely competent to settle the
question for themselves and, should they re-
elect General Grant, it is because he is the

see any actual cause for alarm at the supposed
contingency-the reelection of General Grant
for third term-it thinks that the considera-
ton Of the subject cannot but be useful and
beneficial. SIT is always well" continues the
editor, 'that republican people should keep
before their eyes the spirit or genius of their
government" )" and he is 'glad to see that the
question is called up in time of political
peace, when it stands fair chance of being
discussed on its broad merits.' The Pilot

The Tablet enlarges upon the Papal allocu-
cution of the 25th of July, declaring that it
challenges the attention of the world, particu-
larly that portion Of it in which appears
direct and dire condemnation of whosoever
lays his finger sacrilegiously on the garment
Of the Church-the ecclesiastical property.
''This," adds the Tablet, sis most important,

passed from the long tried and vain region of
protest to accommodation. Moreover, all
contracts of any kind, with reference to eccle-
siastical property he declares and redeclares

writer:-
