From the Troy Whg--republicanl
The NEW YORK iERALD is the ablest democratic
organ in the country. 1t has been urging the
nomination OF Chief Justice Church Tor Governor.
IL has done so in ignorance or the personal reasons
which have induced Mr. Church to refuse his name
20 his party. The HERALD now, IN a strong leader,
tells the democracy why Mr.. Iilden Is not good
candidate, ana why General Dix rs popular and
viii beat Mr. Tllden. But tile HERALD does not
name IT'S own preference, now thar Church Is out
OF the wav. In our opinion the renomlnarion and
reelection or General Dix are abont as certain as
any Iuture event can be.

rled the State, Is no small victory.
] PeRdleton is q leading candidate on his
/ currency platform, and General q. w.
Morgan, of Ohio, is ably spoken of by
his friends. Thus you see Ohio offers
three candidates. Next to Thurman /
should place Hendricks, of Indiana, and
Hancock, OF Pennsylvania. OF these
two think Hendricks is probably the
strongest, from the fact that the west
must furnish the candidate. 1 think
that either Of these candidates, with 8
good platform, could carry New Hamp-
shire, Connecticut, of the New England
States, New York, New Jersey,
Delaware, and probably Pennsylvania,
Of the Middle States, all Of the
southern States except South Carolina,
Mississippi, and Louisiana, and Ohio,
Indiana, California, Oregon Nebraska,
OF the western States.
THE CIVIL RIGHTS BILL WILL PASS.
Repolter-Do You think the civil
rights bill will pass the next session.
General GordOn-I am almost sure
Of it. You see it failed last session only
because it needed a two-thirds vote to
bring it up. Next session it can be
taken up in its regular order and carried
by simple majority. 1t tbad sixty-nine
majority in the house on its issue last
month. With the same congress to
vote on it next session, think il will
certainly pass.
ReporteT-Will the President veto it?
General Gordon-His inclinatiOns will
certainly lead him to do it. The party
pressure, though, will be very strong
in favor of his signing it, and fear he
will not resist it. He is very self-willed
though, and there is no saying what he
will do. l believe if it could ne STAYED
off until the neat congress was elected
it could be beaten, for l am confident
that in the next house the majority will
be reverted.

BRUTAL MURDER.
A Poor wife FfendishIy Done 90 Death
at the Wash. h.rub-Ehe HusbRnd's
Confession.

CHICAGO, July "a later dispatch
from Fon Dulac, Wisconsin, gives fur
ther particulars of the murder OF his wife
by Thomas Lotus at Graverville, Calu-
met county, yesterday afternoon. Lof-
tus cTept into the house and dealt his
wife blow with the hammer while she
was standing over the wash-tub doing
the weeks washing. She fell, and he
then crushed her head in with an ak
and dragged her under the house. To
make certain of his work he returned,
got the ak and nearly severed the head
from the trunk. The body Was soon
after found 10y little six.yeaT old girl.
Lotus was arrested in a saloon quite
drunk and confessed the crime. In an
interview with the editor of Fon Dulac
Commonwealth he said he had deliber-
ateIy planned TO kill her. The follow
ing part of the interview displays a
shocking lack of moral sense:
EditOT-What was the trouble between
you and Mrs. Lotus?
LOftuE-Well, we have had good
deal of trouble, and ] madeup my mind
that l couldn't stand her actions any
longer. was very bad off that day.
Editor-SO you knew what you were
about when you killed her?
Loftus-Yes, sir. meant to kin her,
and did kill her, and it is over with
now.
Editor-Did she know you were in the
room when you went in TO hit her with
the hammer?
Loftus-NO, she did not. was care
ful not to let her know it, for she would
have got away.
Editcr-Why did you drag the body
under the house after you had killed
your wife?
Loftus-I did it because If the children
came home they would be scared.
They had been married but a few
months, she being q widow with several
children.

EDITORS APPEAL-Having seen in
your most sppreciable journal of the
third of May last a communication,
in which the writer took interest
in publishing something in reference to
our village, under the name of "Sketch-
es in the Province of Genoa" and he
mentions the faith that / have about
our copper and gold mines, and that
have tried to interest an English COM
pany in them. Its true, and with pleasure
! let him know now that 1 have sue
ceeded in that, and sold to an English
mining company all my right of discov-
cry at a good profit, who have been
working them on a laIge scale; and the
best Of it is, that all the county profit by
them. Soon we viii have a carrisgea-
bic road to come to our village, and
passes to Santa Maria del Euro and TO
Parma, to The satisfaction of all. At
the first start was thought to be ignO-
rant, but now they are all satisfied. l
wish it was brought to the notice of all
my friends and countrymen in your
country. Excuse my bad English; for
fifteen years l. have not practiced it.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
The PeddIers and marketers

EDITORS APPEAL-"Chelsea Garden
er, in Wednesdays APPEAL, makes a
lame argument in regard to peddlers'
rights. Memphis has the poorest mar
ket OF most any city of her size, and
why? because the peddlers go at will
during market. To have a good market,
and vegetables fresh and cheap, this
must be stopped. He has another poor
argument, in regard to the distance TO
market. l viii guarantee il the people
viii come 10 market early, select from
them q large assortment of fresh vegs-
tables, and from whom they please, and
get home in time for breakfast, any doc
tor will prescribe it as good mediciue,
even for the ladies. Most Of the ped
dlers come to market and buy our re-
fuse and cheapest vegetables, at the
same time saying to themselves, "these
will do for the customers who cannot
help themselves If it is not stopped
we will all be compelled to turn over
our market masters to the city, and pro-
ceed to peddling. Here is a sample: A
peddler comes to your door; he has a
poor assortment; you must then take
"pOt-luck" Next day he fails to come /;
at last you must go in an over-heatAd
bluster to market or the nearest grocery,
and take what they chance to have left.
] think that is the reason so many doc
tors come to market. Another item,
and am done: The city takes in one
thousand dollars per month from both
markets. Now, stop the peddling, and
it will double that.

The American Pilgrims Question
for Catholics.


EDITORS APPEAL-In reading the &C.
count Of the reception of American pill
grims by the pope Of Rome, / observe
that Judge Theard, who acted as spokes-
man Of the pilgrims, is represented as
stating 10 the pope that Americans lived
IN a land of perfect religious liberty,
where Catholics were not prosecuted ;
and this fact seemed to be a matter of
congratulation, both by the pope and
by Judge Theard. Are we to under
stand by this that the pope and the Cath
olic church of the world generally would
be glad to see all countries pursue the
policy OF our own upon the subject of re-
ligion? Are we TO understand that the
pope would have all governments 10 alb.
sOlutely ignore all creeds and religions
and churches, and resOlutely refuse to
aid, assist or recognize any Of them in
any shape or form2 Would he have
them not only to establish perfect reli-
gious liberty, but also to exclude all
churches, as such, from all government
institutions and all public schools? The
American theory is that the government
shall have nothing whatever TO do with
any church or any creed; that il has no
right to aid, assist OF show any favor
whatever TO any particular form OF re-
hgion. Is the pope Of Rome, is the
Catholic church, 10 favor Of this theory
beingput into procticein Italy and Spain
aud France aud Mexico? II so, when
and where has the pope OF the church
indicated eny such wish in those coun-
tries? II the pope and the Catholic
church at large are in favor of the
American theory Of the relations which
should subsist between the State and
the church, is 1t not a little strange
that there is not Catholic country in
the world where that theory has been
put in practice2 If any Catholic in Mem
phis will vOuchssfe a plain answer 10
/ these questions, he will confer a favor
l upon AN HONEST INQUIRER.
