OUR special dispatch from Wash
lngton this morning indicates unusual
connection in the Republican camp.
For the nonce, Grant has the credit of
being opposed to civil rights, and he
has set his foot down fat on in
ffation. Meanwhile the negroes are
bowling for their rights, and the West
demands financial relief. How can
these be pacified without rupture with
the President and the bondholding.

New YORK, June S.-A letter from
Rofne, speaking Of the Vatican, says: A
curious fac to make record Of is, that one
frequently hears the United States praised
for its liberal treatment Of Catholics, both
now and with few exceptions in the
course of its history. % -A1 pr
The only serious offense charged against
the United States is that we still persist in
maintaining those dreadful public schools,
which makes it less and less hopeful for
JeSuits to find in that country ground for
propagation Of the doctrines of the Syila-
bus and Papai infallibility. The priests
say that what the Catholic Church has lost
in Europe during the past two centuries has
been more than made up by what It has
gained In the new world. The first Steps
have been taken, and befers long beati1-
cation will he bestowed by the Church
upon the name Of Christopher Columbus.
The examination Of his tile to Catholic
heroism has for time, BY Command Of the
Pope, engaged the attention. of the Doctors
Of Canon Law. The claim is founded
upon the great act, little less than that Of
Inspiration, by which Christopher enlarged
the boundaries Of the Christian world.

No French or English woman of cultiva-
tion nowadays wears her garters below
her knees. The principal vein of the
leg sinks there bepeath the muscles; and
varieose veins, cold feet, and even palpita-
ton of the heart may be brought on by a
tighter garter in the wrong place. When
it is fastened above the knee all this pain
and deformity may be avoided.

have collected $4,000 during the year or

ner Of BROAD and Market streets last night

before Q O'Clock, and was opened by eN-
Senator A. G. Merritt, Esq, and N. NJ.
Rrien. IT., candidates for Chancellor, who
entertained the c.owd for nearly an hour
in advocating their claims for the Office.
Mr.. Merritt handled his opponent II i've
ly manner. r. -..-- Ne
John NJ. Mckee, jr., announced himself
as a candidate for Criminal Court Clerk IN
a brief speech. and was followed by sam l.
Donaldson, also a candidate for that posi-
ton.
The candidates for County CcIrt
Clerk followed in brief speeches,
Mai. Dick Mccain leading OIL. He
pitched into the Civil Rights bill, and
advocated the holding Of a primary ele;-
ton. late in the canvass, to determine the
choice Of the Democratic aud Conservative
voters.
James T. Bell next spoke, and in refer
enee o Civil Rights, said that another a.
tempt had been made to bring up the civil
rights bill. but had failed by large ma
ioFitv. It could now be considered as
dead. and lie hoped it would slumber FOR
ever. Whatever the people said in regard
10 conventions or primary elections, ne
would cheerfully abide by.
James +. PentecOst was the next speak
er. and when be was about to conclude his

needed discussion, and that the gentlemen
who had preceded him had displayed eX-

and that was the people. lie did not ask

the people.

Houston Telegraph, May ..
There has been intense excitement in
Bell county during the past two or three
weeks, owing to the presence of a large
number Of horse thieves. Several had
been arrested and placed in the Bolton Jail.

athreatened attack by the friends ofthe horse
thieves incarcerated therein. There were
nine in the Jail charged with horse stealing
at that time. The meeting had scarcely
adjourned before an armed body of masked
men, estimated to be between one hundred
and one hundred and fifty, entered the
town and proceeded to the jail. They de-
manded admittanee, stating to the jailer
that resistance would be useless, and if
such was made he would be killed.
The jailOr did not resist, and
with sledge hammer, etc,
the mob broke through the
jail door, and the crOss-barIed iron cage, in
which the nine prisoners were confined,
was soon reached. Firing then began, and
the entire number of prisoners were shot
down like dogs. Some sixty shots were
fred into the bodies of those unfortunate
men, not one of whom was left breathing.
Father and sons, and brothers, were mas
sacred in that small den of only twelve by
twelve feet. The names Of those killed
are as follows: ". l.. Colemon, crime,
killing his wife in COryell county; man
named Cron, horse-stealing; Winfield
