WITH AN AMENDMENT.

The Cincinnati Commercial thinks
Elihu Washburn for President, and
James G.. Blaine for Vice President,
will save the the Republican party
In 1876. That is q very good ticket,
but we move to. amend by striking
out Washburn and inserting the
name of Judge John +. Dillon, of
Iowa. We do this, first, because H.
linois has had the president long
enough, tho candidates of the last
four national Republican convcn-
lions having been selected from that
state. Secondly, because John i.
Dillon Is a man OF the people. His
course Oh the bench shows him to
be an honest hearted official, whose
head has not been turned by ambi-
ton. lie is as eminent as he is
pure. lie wonld make n president
whom the people would delight 10
honor. The election of such Il man
would do more TO restore public
confidence than anything that could
happen. lie is pre-eminently fitted
for the highest Office in tho nation.
We have not word to say against
Washburn. 1t is not that we think
less of him that we offer this
amendment, but that we esteem
Dillon more. We should like to
work in the harness for Dillon and
Blaine. KansAns would give the
noble Judge who has done so much
for them an almost unanimous vote.

MULLRTT.-PoOr Mullett. We sigh
for him. He's resigned. Our hopes are
dashed to the ground. He was the '!.su-
pervising architect" of the capitol,
with light duties and big salary.
He has also had the control OF Il nice
little contingent fund of 500 600 as
such Supervising architect" He was
the "architect'' of this 100000, and
that was where the laugh came in
down Mullett's sleeve. Last winter
an ungrateful Republic changed the
law, and took this little fund away
from Mullett. When informed of IL is
action, by Secretary Bristow, the other
day, Mullett wiIted. With tears in his
eyes, and with IL cOmmingled look of
dlspaIr and injured innocence Mullett
remarked to the Secretary, al had rarh-
resign than not control this little
100000" and the secretary told him
his resignation would be accepted.
And now poor Mullett, after controlling
the pitlful sum OF 100000 for some
years, is thrown upon the cold chari-
ties of wicked world. This is mourn
full. Mullett has our sYmpathies. We
don't know whether the government
can get Supervising architect" to
serve unless it lets him control $780,
600. Mullett's 'cheek" overwhelms us
with admiration. One wonld think he
had been for n long time dealing in
government mules. Where is Hammer?

An ADoIo-r.

EDIroE NEWS: Permit me to Of
fer short apology Cor the Catho-
lies will not deny that they did
those terrible things charged against
them in history, but simply prove
that it was right to do them. That
it is right to put the murderer to
death is clearly taught ia the bible,
and il is evident that the soul is
more valuable than the body; con-
scquently, 10 destroy a soul by en-
quilting 1t in endless suffering Is in
finitely worse than to kill the body.
And under the former dispensation,
| idolaters, because they destroyed
t he souls of men, were put to death
by divine authority. Now, as the
Catholics believed that as the Pro-
testants had apostatized from the
only church in which there is saliva
ton, and were taking thousands
with them, and thus were destroy
ing souls by the million, they there
fore deemed that no punishment
could equal their crimes. Now, if
it be true that the Catholic church
is the only one in which there is
salvation, the PrOtestants deserved
all they suffered. The Catholics be-
lieved that it was right to put here
tics 10 death, just as Paul did before
his conversion. They acted accord
ing TO their belief, as every honest
person must do. The argument
that have here presented seems to
be conclusive. Their error consist
ed in believing that there is no sal.
YatiOn outside of the Catholic
church, and that the Protestants
were destroying the souls of men
which is the worst of sins.
, All men are imperfect, all demon.
nations of christians being compos.
= ed of such men, are liable to dc

for the Catholic church. Ihope M
