ARKANSAS JUsTICE.-The following ac-
count of unique way of promising to dis
pense justice on the part of Justice of the
Peace, and, after all of neglecting to do it, is
supplied by the Little Rock, (Ark.) Republic
can: ''Some time ago two men, named Will
liam Toll and McHaney were brought before
Squire Orrin Watson of Eagle Township, ac-
cused of stealing, butchering and eating COW
belonging to Samuel Crawford. The accused
were regularly tried and convicted of the fell
ohy. After conviction they entered into an
agreement with the Squire whereby they were
to turn over two horses to him, which he was
to sell, and out of the proceeds pay Crawford
for his cow. Upon this agreement the con-
victed persons were discharged. The affida-
Wit also further states that Squire Watson sold
the aforesaid horses, but through some means
forgot to pay Crawford for his COW. In the
meantime Orrin Watson turns around and
rrays a warrant for Carter McClennan for an
assault with a pistol and threatening to kill
him, which was also issued, and Carter ar
rested. Both parties were placed under bonds
for their future appearance.

THE back pay which the President so read
lily took of 600 per year for his first term
ending March LIST, 1873, amounting to $780,
600, all ertra, enabled him to fit out nicely
in teams and gay equipage !-Machias Union.
Which goes to show that the editor of the
Union is either grossly ignorant or so culpa-
bly, reckless in his statements that the late
Horace Greeley would, for short, call it lying.
The increase of the salary of the President
and other executive and judicial officers was
not made retroactive and consequently does
not give Gen. Grant 100000 for his first
term. There are Democratic papers in which
the public expect to see such statements, but
we have never classed the Union among
them, especially since it expressed desire to
break up the Bourbon party. Will the
Union correct its error? We shall see.

CHURCH TRoUBLE.-Patrick Hennessey and
ten others have filed bill of equity in the Su-
preme Court of New Hampshire at Portsmouth,
setting forth that in 1850 they literally sub
scribe d to the building of new Catholic church
at that town which was burned that they form
ed a portion of a committee which obtained
many thousands of dollars towards the building
of new church; that the Rev. Thomas Canon
Walsh, priest, aided and abetted by the Rev.
David William Bacon, bishop, usurped the
functions of the committee, misappropriated
the money and refused to allow the donors adj
mission to the church without the payment of
an entrance fee of 25 cents each; that the said
Walsh has publicly, on the Sabbath day, in
the pulpit, called down the curse of God and
the blessed Virgin to rest OH" the petitioners;
and that he has, also, called upon Divine
power to send the cholera upon those persons,
and that they may die and their smell be so
bad that their friends could not stand over them
to take a last farewell" They, therefore, pray
that the aforesaid bishop and priest be ordered
to account for the money in their lands and
deliver it to q trustee to lie appointed by the
court.

THE CONFESSIONAL IN ENGLAND. In the
controversy which has been agitating the Eng
lish Church for some time in regard to the in
PRODUCTION of the confessional, the question has
been put, and urged with some vehemence,
whether OF no confession were not actually
taught in the Church liturgy. The question
was an important one, as in the event of its de-
csion in the affirmative, the four hundred and
eighty-three petitioners for the confessional
would be proven to be the only loyal party, and
the sixty thousand signers of the contrary petit
tionwould be clearly in revolt against the teach
ings of their church. Accordingly committee
of the Upper House of Convocation of the Prov
ince of Canterbury was appointed to search dill
igently through the liturgy and ascertain wheth-
er the confessional had any place in it. This
committee has reported that the Church of
England distinctly atirms that penance is not
to be counted for sacrament of the gospel, and
that she knows no such words as sacramento
confession" There are, however, these two ex-
ceptional cases:
Il. In the case of those who cannot quiet
their own consciences previous to receiving the
Holy Communion, but require further comfort
or counsel, the minister is directed to say. Let
him come to me, or to some other discreet and
learned minister of Gods word, and open his
grief, that by the ministry of Gods Holy Word
he may receive the benefit of dissolution, togeth
er with ghostly counsel and advice g. In the
order for the Visitation of the Sick it is directe
that the sick man be moved to make special
confession of his sins if he feels his conscience
troubled with any weighty matter, but in such
case dissolution is only to be given when the
sick man shall humbly and heartily desire it, !"
The Committee therefore come to the follow
ing conclusion:
:'The special provision, however, does not au-
thorize the ministers of the church to require
| from any one who may repair to them to open
their grief in particular or detailed examina-
ton of all their sins, or to require private con-
| fession as condition previous to receiving the
| Holy Communion, or to enjoin or even en-
| courage any practice of habitual confession
to a priest, or to teach that such prac-
tice of habitual confession or the being subject
| to what has been termed the direction Of a
| priest, is condition of attaining to the high
est spiritual life.''

IT seems that the general impression pre-
vailed previous to the examination of Col
lector Roberts before Commissioner Clifford in
this city, that officers of this grade were pro-
hibited by law from engaging in commerce or
business that involved the entry of goods. 1t,
however, seems otherwise, and is undoubted.
ly an oversight that Congress ought to rene
dy by proper legislation, as there is mani
fest improperly in such officers engaging in
business which brings their personal inter-
ests in conflict with their official duties. Per-
haps most men would resist the temptation,
but it is not best to place it in their way

AN IMPORTANT DECISION "A Washingto
special saws that a question of considerable i'm
portance to the Union Pacific Railroad was de-
cided Tuesday by the acting Second Compt-
roller. The last Congress enacted law pro-
viding that the Treasury should reserve one
half the compensation due the road for sery-
ices until the annual interest on the bonds was
paid, and authorized the road to go to the
Court of Claims to test the question. The
War Department has annually paid this road
some $500, 900 for transportation. The Qaur-
termaster General has desired to have the
question settled whether this reserved one-half
might not be considered as an additional appro-
nriatiop, in view of the improbability of the
termination of the pending litigation during
the wear. The question has been formally pro
pounded to the Second Comptroller by the
War Department The Comptroller decides
that these reserved one-half earnings must he
held by the Secretary of the Treasury as as
signee. in trust until the suit authorized nv
Congress to be brought in the Court of Claims
by the road shall have been determined, or the
Claimant shall become debarred by the stain
tory lapse of six years. The ultimate solution
of the disposition of these reserved earnings
comprehends the construction of the original
granting act of July l, 1852 The road insists
that inasmuch as annual interest is not specifi-
ca ~ mentioned, simple interest can alone be
collected upon the maturity OF the bonds at
the expiration of thirty years. Legally, the
question turns upon the question whether COM
pound interest can be collected when it is not
specifically mentioned

THE recent Ku Klux outrages in Kentucky
are as much a matter of serious concern to
the better white citizens as of terror to the
poor colored people. The outrages recently
committed are done by class of thieving and
dissolute whites, who desire to drive negro
labor from the State. The farmers and plant
ers all need the labor Of the colored people be-
cause it can be obtained at all times and at
more reasonable rates than any other. There
seems to be nothing of a political character in
volved IN these frequent exhibitions of vio-
lence, but only purpose to interfere with
legitimate industry.

Senator Pugh appears, declaring against both
parties and pledging the remainder of his dave
to the protection of the temple of opr l;bor-

question in this connection is worth looking

the Constitution prohibiting suffrage and the
holding of office to all persons, in whole or in
part, OF the African race He also moved an
amendment to the Constitution providing for
the surrender of persons who committee of
fences against the rights of those who hold
persons to service or labor in one State.o and
who should fee to another, and that the laws
of the Slave State should be the test of the
criminality. This monstrous proposition re-
ceived Ia votes out of &c. Suppose such in
fanny had been introduced into the Consttu-
