Ed or Republican i:


The card in your paper of October 10th
denying that the words "Persoaal Liberty
foated over st. Henri's Stand is duly noticed
As the writer is conscious Of no intention
to mstate facts, the entire benefit Of the
correction is hereby given.
But, Mr.. Editor, the question Of what
sign was placed over that Beer stand, or
whether there was any at all, is too small
for flourish of. newspaper weapons. In
fortunately with too many of those who
gathered On that occasion, beer wonld do
it's own advertising, and fix the stigma of
disgrace on the we'll disposed. And it has
been an accumulation of offenses that has
made the authorities Of the Church and the
gentlemen Of this committee, the respon-
sible .ransgressors. 1t has been said that
it was the intention to have the Milwau-
kee train arrive at 9 o'clock. This would
not have lessened the wrong Of an armed
procession on the Sabbath, but would have
given opportunity for a more circuitoous
route, and more extended display. That
it did not arrive until after 10 o'clock is
not the fault OF the Con greg atoms whose
rights, defended by law, were SO insolently
trampled upon. This, but ths!beginning OF
events here which eliminated a few years
years since in New York, when whole
streets were blockaded by Romanist pro-
cessions, an q churches were kept empty be-
cause their adherents could not peaceaby
break through the line.
Again, Mr.. Editor, it has been said t hat
the charge of ''riotous cheer was too harsh.
If any who witnessed the proceedings of the
afternoon and evening, think 50, let the
charge then, for them, stand corrected. The
stand was there, and the beer was there
for sale, and admitting that the high toned
moral sentiment Of the intelligent Chris
tian Assembly rebuked the attempt to build
church for the worship of the great God,
by selling to his creatures that which
would degrade them below the brutes, still
the possible consequences fix the gravity of
the offense.
If not improper, in any cards hereafter to
appear, we should.like the information that
the laws of the nation were not Violated in
that beer was sol without revenue license
that the laws of the state were not brought
into contempt in that it was sold contrary
to their well known provisions and that
both civil and moral rectitude was not
offended in that this was done on the Sab
bath day. These offenders against law and
order have been arrested, tried and convicted
before the bar of public opinion, and not in
the civil Cour is, as matter of choice and
not of necessity.
1t now, Mr.. Editor, the articles you have
so impartially given space to, serve to
awaken the public mind to the effron-
terry Of Rome in matter so mani
testify wrong that no serious defense is at
tempted, the writer will feel upheld for
venturing the criticism.

ing who feel deeply involved by Church
convictions, which we respect, we extend

From the National Capital.

WARRINGTON October 80, 1873.
Editor Republican:
The city Of Washington is beginning to
be itself again. With the approach of Con-
gress people are beginning to flock to the
city, and the streets and public places as
sumo lvelier appearance trade and bust
ness improve, and the city wakes up from
its long summer sleep. But although So
ciety has been at stand still during the
vacation, the authorities have been lively
enough in improving and identifying ave-
nues, parks, and public buildings. The
old wooden whitewashed picket fences that
used to surround most of the public grounds
have yielded to nice iron ratings, new res
ervations and parks have been opened, and
most of all, the Capitol grounds for SO
many years but little better than dung
heap, have been terraced, leveled down,
planted with trees, and put in grass. At
the other end of the city, near the White
House, the new State Department building
intended to be one of the most magnificent
of the many fine buildings in the city, has
assumed large proportions, aud allows the
beholder to form an idea Of it's coming gran
deur.
The panic appears to hare been extreme
~ bad in its effect here. The population
in Washington may be divided into three
classes, those that live on the general gov
eminent, those that live on the ci ty govern
ment, and, lastly, those that live on both Of
these classes. The first class has felt the
effect the least, as they get their salary
every month, and only so far as they may
have been interesed in the suspended banks
are they affected. The second class, con-
sisting in large measure of laboring
mouth, are the most seriously affected, as
the Board of ,,Pablic Works, that employs
them, is very sadly demoralized by the
panic, and is without money to pay the
contractors, police, school teachers and
others, who consequently are unable to
pay the men they in turn employ Several
months Of back pay is due, much of the
money is owing to men Of the third class,
and their position can therefore be easily
imagined. Undoubtedly there will be much
suffering among the poorer classes during
the coming winter, and philanthropists and
charitable persons will have their hands
full. One effect of the panic will be to
make the season less gay and festive than it
would otherwise have been, and that eff
feet will undoubtedly be blessing.
In political life but little is doing. Heads
of departments are busy making their an
nual reports, and speculation is rife. as to
what recommendations some of these reports
will contain. Rumors are afoat as to pro-
posed legislation in Congress on several
subjects, but they are of course mere ru-
mors, and nothing definite is or can be
known as to what will come up. Those
persons who think that the back salary.
bill will be repealed are, believe, bound to
be disappointed. The measure has been
sufficiently talked about and it is believed
whatever excitement it did create, has
mostly died out The present officers in the
House, from Speaker down, will undoubted-

The w Gather.

The Chicago Journal says that the old
hunters and ''nien Of the border say that
winter has not sci in, the present cold
snap being only the precursor of Indian
summer. In support of the assertion, they
cite the fact that the blackbirds and other
migratory birds have not left us; and that
the muskrat housesare small and light, indi-
eating light and mild winter, and that
Tue pass have only just commenced going up
sne creeks. We had an early and severe
winter, ayear ago, when al these signs
were inherent The wild geese visited us a
mouth earlier than this TALL, and everything
tadicated the advent Of winter IN earnest.

THE ELECTION.
Charles Beckma an, Independent. EIeo-
tea t. The Assona bly,.


tea t. The Assem- bly,.
Yesterday, election day, was one Of those
fne fall days for which our Western eli
mate is 80 noted, and the favorable condi-
ton Of the weather had a tendency to
make matters quite lively and cheerful
about the polling places. We have hea rd
of no disturbances at any of the polls,
everything passing off quietly notwithstand
ing the interest evinced over the result on
some Of the candidates. The main interest
in the election in this city centered on the
Office Of Member of the Assembly, which
was holly contested by the friends OF Mt.
Charles Beckman, Indepe ndent, and Mr..
P. Dsvy, the regular democratic nominee
and the Union League candidate. The
figures tell their own story, showing the
success of Mr.. Beckman over his opponent
by majority of81 votes This result must,
we think, be hailed with satisfaction by
every friend of tie city in the district,
and is a just rebuke to those persons in our
midst who are undertaking to conduct our
city matters without reason or common
sense. The vote in this Assembly district
is over 300 less than one year ago, and
over 100 lighter than the vote at the CUB
ernatorial election of two years ago.
The majority for Tay Tor, Democratic
ihnro A. q, ~ = ~
is 1876, large democratic gain. The DEM
ocratic majority in Jefferson County on
Governor is about 1900. In the 81 Assem-.
bly, district Mr.. A. Kellogg, Democrat, is
elected to the legislature by about 295 ma
jority over Mr.. S. Faville the Republican
nominee. In the I'd District, Hon. l.. B.
Caswell, OF Fort Atkinson, is elected As
semblyman by o majority Of 65 over his
democratic opponent. This leaves The po-
liticsl complexion of Jefferson County pre-
cisely the same as last year, one Independ-
ent, one regular democrat, and one Repub-
lican. We append the full list of returns
from this Assembly District
