Editor Republican f:

DEAR SIR: The critic of Sept 14th, has,
perhaps, by this time an idea of what ii is
to fall into the hands Of Student At
first played with him as with a kitten;
what "ace', call get up in him, as a reason
err, than there is. His charges have been
rlddled; his assertions proven false, and,
his theories, he bas not had the manhood
10 defend. Why then does he continue to
weary the public by his insipid repetiJions?
Does he prefer a dishonorable nooriety to n
honest privacy? or does he lack the courage
TO avow his defeat /? or in6ne is he strug-
Cling only for the last word He was not
asked "to provs how would punish them
Tor disturbing our public worship" It is
not nice thing to boast but there would
be very little vanity in presuming that it is
got from him that should be obliged to
seek information in matters of law. What
dio chatlenge him to do was, to prove,
not as a lawyer, but as theoogian, that an
armed procession for religious end was n
violation OF the Sunday 1t is somewhat
amusing to see how be managed TO wiggle
out of this subject His forte does not lie in
arguing, so much as in making assertions. |,
furthermore put TO him couple of ques-
tions, which he has thought proper not to
answer. There is no accounting for tie
freaks OF able men. These questions should
however, be answered before the gentle
man to whom they were put should let
loose-let loose will no one hold him
on the political and social advantages of the
church, whatever he means by that.
ldia denounce the motto personal libor
ty," when a deep, that is, a bad meaning
was attached to it. But l never gave any
indication Of desiring to Danish from my
mind any prediction for personal liberty
when understood in its lawful sense. AS a
Catholic believe that very man is, in his
own will, as free as the winds of heaven;
and, as member of society, that he should
enjoy the liberty necessary, not for caium-
mating, but for doing good. What was
there in my articles to induce any one to
attribute different convictions to me on
this point !?
never argued in favor of even the slight
est violation Of the laws of the land. What
supported was something which a man,
understanding the spirit Of the law, would
not for moment question, viz: that Gus
tom was the best interpreter of the object,
bearing, and force of legislation. Custom
makes law; Custom unmakes law. never
pretended to sustain any thing farther than
this. How easy it would be, with little
good faith and common sense, to under
stand these things. But there is no man
SO blind as he who will not see. 1t is quite
possible that next week may be treated to
dissertation,on the general fitness of things.
It would be about as appropriate as what
have been reading on the subject in dispute
in your last issue.
| have the honor to be, Mr. Editor, with
great respect, your most obedient and hum
BILE servant

No More Excursion Rates.

The Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway
company will issue no more tickets from
Waterfowl to Milwaukee at excursion rates,
namely $40 for the round trip, but here
"i'oi iuii iafe' sl.75 each way, will be
charged. We think this determination on
the part of the comoaay will lessen travel
very much between Ills city and Milwaukee
and will affect the business interests of Nil

The popularity of the Local Option
law appears to be gaining ground, all
over the State, with wonderful rapidity,
and the result of the elections will be al
most unanimously in its favor. Tenn
porance men are not standing alone in
the ranks of its forces. but men of intem-
perate habits, who know and feel, and
see the evils wrought by the whiskey
traffic, are anxious to have the tempter
removed from their reach We hope to
see the day. and that very soon. when a
drunken man will be as great curiosity
in Pennsylvania as leper. 1t is not
necessary to urge the ladies to use their
mighty influence, in favor Of Local Op-
tion, as that influence with a wonderful
unanimity, is at work. Of course we
speak of ladies, and not Of females who
live BY their crimes; for prostitution and
drunkenness are twin crimes
