THE CHURCH OF SAINT JOSEPH. 4

luz Onu1N0 We b6xNI JUo611.
Some brief Reminders 0. the First Catholics Of
+ Rock Island.
1t is as fresh in our mind as an event of
yesterday-the day we first saw good
Father Alleman on the streets of Rock Is
land, in 1851. 1t was a strange sight to
see a Catholic Priest here then. Though
an occasional visiting Father had been
here before hat time, Father Alleman
was our first Priest. He had once lived in
Nauvoo, and afterwards at Fort Madison,
from which place he came here to organ
ize a parish and take charge of it. The
older settlers of Rock Island remember
his large and venerable form and his kind
and benevolent face, and that through his
example early prejudices against Catholics
wore away. The first church service here
was held in an old cooper shop which has
long since disappeared and which. served
yerywell on Sundays, after pious hands
had put it in order for the very few per
sons here who heard Mass then. Things
are very much changed for the better
with the Catholics now.
Father Alleman's fist efforts were di,
rected towards getting up some kind
Of a church, and he purchased from
Bailey & Boyle the ground where Saint
Mary's now stands. He also purchased
some cut stone from the ruins of the Nor
mon temple at Nauvoo for water table and
door and window trimmings-and his ac
quaintance with steamboat men enabled
him toit get brought here fora tri1e. With
much labor and much begging he succeed
ed in building the little rough stone church
which once stood at the back of the lot,
and which Father John Donelan used to
call " the bandbox. Father Alleman
had a plan for a larger church, of which
this bandbox was to be the rear.
And there, for many years, his
mild and musical voice chanted the Mass
and the congregation grew rapidly. Then
came Father John p. Donelan, u born ora
tor aud brilliant man, and he AMI Father
Alleman remained here for a long time.
We have not time, to day, to allude to the
changes which occurred before the present
St. Mary's church was erected, but may do
50 on another occasion.
Saint Mary's Church, now about to be
handed over to the German Catholics of
Rock Island, was commenced in 1864, by
| the Rev. Father McElherne, and Father
Alleman's plan Of constructing an addition
to the old church abandoned and the old
church, after having served as a school
| house for some years was torn down. st.
Mary church cost nearly $4,000, and
though not very ford in its architecture,
is well built and spacious.
The Rev. Father Roles, in charge here
for several years past, judging not only
from the present, but anticipating some
what the future, decided that still further

The result Of the late constitutional cleo
tion IN Arkansas shows how glazing have
been the frauds perretrated since recon
straction, under the rule of the carpet bag
gers who have controlled the destinies of
that unhappy State, Heretofore the re-
[spectable whites have not been permitted to
have any voice in the management of their
own affairs, which were taken in charge by
adventures from the North and the worst
class of negro desperadoes. No matter
how the people voted, the public plumber
ers had the counting and returning of the
votes they, and not the people, selected
all public officers. The Clayton party car
ried things with so high a hand, however,
that a large part of the colored voters be-
came alarmed, while all respectable white
men who had acted with the Republican
party became disguised with the condition
of affairs. Hence the revolt of Gov. Bax-
ter, and the attempt by Clayton and his
adherents to eject him from Office, which
left Grant in a curious position. Either he
had to admit that Baxter was the lawful
aforementioned he well knew that he
had never been elected-or acknowledge
that the electoral vote of Arkansas had
been given to him by fraud. He reluc.
family chose to recognize Baxter as Cover
nor, who thereupon was enabled to afford

The New York Herald Of the eighth eavs
The confirua ton of George Crook 90 be
Brigadieg General, which has been delayed
on account OF u supposed technical detecs
in the law fixing the number OF Brigadier
Generals. has also raised the question Otthe
propriety OF the Presidents making the ap-
pointment from the grade of lieutenant col
onei, which is the rank now held by Crook
in the regular army An examination of
the Arn'y Register shows that the appoint
ment is not only authorized by law but is
also in accordance with numerous preced-
ents. General Sherman was appointed
Brigadier from Colonel, twenty three
other Col0nels in the regular army ranking
with him at the time. Sheridan was pro-
NOTED to be Brigadier from the grade of
captain, and Hancock and Mcdowell were
appointed to the same rank from the rank
Of major. Schotield and Pope were only
captains when appointed Brigadier Gene
rails, and other instances might be multi
piled of the practice under the la " which
authorizes promotions to the rank of Briga-
dier General and higher grades by selection,
regardless of seniority. The friends of
Crook also urge that he not only held i'm
portant commands during the rebellion, but
has since fairly earned the promotion by
remarkable services in suppressing Indian
hostilities in Oregon and Arizona, where
his command has been during the greater
portion of the time that of Major General

Dead Heads.

Ths representatives of thirteen leading
Western railways recently met in Chicago
to take measures for abolishing the dead
head system. They resolved to limit the
distribution of free passes over each road
to its own actual employees, five or six of
the leading general officers of other roads,
and the agents of the principal express,
telegraph and transportation companies
whose contracts call for passes. About fit-
teen other companies have since agreed to
the resolution.
The new constitution of Pennsylvania
and law OF Illinois prohibit the issuing in
those States of passes by railroads to any
but persons actually in the service of the
road; but we fear that certain useful and
favored individuals will continue to travel
without paying fare. Either corrupt lrgis-
latOrs and officials will be considered as
actually in the service of the company, or
conductors will be instructed to forget to
call for their fare; or, what is more likely,
free tickets will be sent to them, and
charged to the contingent account.
Whether clergym men and country editors
ride free IS a matter Of consequence onl y
to themselves and the companies over
whose lines they travel; but whether Presi-
dents and Governors, Congressman and
legislators ride without paying over the
lines of companies from whom they are
honestly entitled to no special consideration,
is a matter Of public moment.-St. LOUIS
