a1r. IEw1:;, tho General Lobby Agent Of the
Pacific Mail Steamship Company, is q cool
l,anI. He evidently regards Ito Congress Of
The United States as a body orsanixol to
serve Ills personal aud official onds. Eis cx-
pelienco with Congress SO far partially wsr.
rants tho conclusion. Something moro than
two years ago le went to Washington with
57a0,000 in his pocket. Just what proper.
ton Of this sum lie paid out is not known
but ho used sufficient of it to secure through
Congress tho desired Government aubsidy.
Last su1nrser, Congress was looking for this
Mr., IEw1H but ha did not SEQ fit to hu11or
an idle curiousity. ind 60 staid owny. This
winter it happened to suit bIr. InwN;s coll
yenienco or purpose 10 put in an appearance,
and lo WIG good enough to tell the Congress
sional Committee just what 10 wanted TO
mako public, aud to refuse to tell them just
what they wanted TO know. Ho declines per-
omptorily to Inform thdn1 to whom lo paid
tho money.
1nwts regards Congress rs Il sort Of personal
at.achmcnt to further his own purposes. But
wa submit TINT it is timo to disnbuso hia
mind Of this impression. Flo must be found
and taught that, oven it ho did succeed 20
thoroughly in swindling ono Congress, l'o
cannot trilo with all Congresses. His pro-
sumption is greatly increased by his yolun-
tary disclosure of what he wanted to reveal,
and his impudent and persistent refusal to
nns%er the only question of rcal Importance
to tho count1y,-low and to whom tho bribo-
money was paid out. It is tho duty Of Con-
gress to avail itself Of every advantage tue
law giyos it to forco this oontumaaious witness

an examination Of tho vote on 1Ir. Hor.-
MANS anti~subsily resolution, which was
Offered in tho House yesterday, will afford
much encouragement to all friends Of the
Republican pnrty. Tho resolution was not
rejected. 1t was merely postponed for ono
week. Tho House refused to suspend tito
rules md pass tho resolution by 1l9 to 76,-
lacking ono vote Of the required two-tlsirtls.
Twenty-Five Of tho soventy-ilvo members who
voted i'll tho negative were Democrats. Thisis
worry significant circumstance, in considera-
ton of tho fact TINT tho resolution was offered
by Democrat, and pressed solely for
tho purpose Of milking capital for tho
Democratic party. We find, further, that tllo
forty-iive Republicans who voted in favor of
subsidies nny DO divided into four classes, rs
follows: ~ Insane intlationists, suc1, rs
KELLEY and AlAYNARD; (2) members who wero
dcfeatod ut tho last election, and levo
party. such as DurLEE, of Massachusetts,
DUTLER, Of Tennessee, AyEn11L, CESSNA, nnd
MEDLEY; {3) carpet-baggcrs, whom tho Re-
publican party declines to bo responsible for;
and ~ members WHO arc arowedly committed
to somo scheme Of spoliation. This last
clnss is by fnr tho smallest of all. It includes
certain Republicans from Virginia, Texas
and Minnesota. Tho Republican party can-
not certainly be said, after this, to bo in favor
of tl,e subsidy system. Tho vote, taken MS u
whole, shows TINT not one Of tho schemes
pending in Congress Gnu pass. Now VIC cali
upon the Republican members to show their
fifth by their works, Let them begin by ro-
scinding tho Pacific Mail subsidy, which,
it lns been shown, was obtained by corrupt
means. Tho Democratic party on its advent
to power ought to find a record in favor Of
pure Government such as it cannot hopo to
slnpnsa.

PUBLIC SCHOOLS AS nEl1G1ous TEACHERS.

We printed yesterday the address uaao at
Cleveland by Bishop AfoQuApr, Roman
Catholic Bishop Of Rochester, New York, on
tho subject of tho public-school system. The
points ho makes aro plein aud direct:
l. That instruction in religion and moral
ity aro essential to any education that c1uca-
ton without these is barren Of good results,
md tends to iniidelity.
2. That wherever religious instruction is in
my form given in tho public schools, the ro-
Ggion taught is Evangelical Professionalism.
8. That tlo people hive d right to havo an
education including religious instruction, aud
to have their own selection as to the form Of
religion.
1. Tint tho public schools, teaching no rc-
ligion ut all, give hut II 'pasan cducation y;
nMsl, wl.ere they attempt to combine religious
instruction, tcaching only Evangelical Protest.
autis1n, tho system is radically wrong and de-
feotiye, ,.nd anti-American.
Tho remedy for this which he proposes ID,
for the State to support al1 schools, leaving to
parents tho exclusive selection Of tho schools
to which they will send their childycn. Ho
wants public sectarian schools, in each Of
which religion shall be taught. This Is prob
ably RI strong statement Of tho objections
to tho public-school system rs Gun 10 made,
and it includes, as the Bishop snys l,o intend
cd it should, tho objections Of all pcraons who
think religious instruction part Of my proper
system of education tho objections Of those
who deny that there should DO my form Of
religious instruction, ind tho objections Of
those who, while insisting OH having religious
instruction, object to Evangelical Protestant
ISM,
Great Britain has just entered upon sys-
tcli Of public schools in which religion is to
be taught Franco supports public schools
aud Glso churches il which religion ia taught,
without reference to llo form Of tho religion.
ltl,ssia has had system Of State schools in
a'l Of which religion is part Of tho instruc-
ton these schools naturally classify them
selves according to Tho denominational filth
Of tho children, and tho Government pays
the whole bill.
Tho objection to the systeun Of public
schools proposed by this Catholic prelato is n
radical ono tho objection is NOT that it is
urged by tho Iloman Catholics, because III
various parts Of thu country other denoulina-
lions OF Christians hive established ana main
tain ut their own cost q number Of
free schools in which their peculiar
C1urcll doctrines nro taught. Tho objection
is that such system is absolutely foreign to,
and inconsistent with, tho fundamental prin-
ciples upon which onr Government is found

PUBLISH YOUR ORDINANCES If law
is not made public, it il simply no law !;
and hence the necessity of the CORPORA
ton OF Winchester publishing their law
and ordinances so that all may read them.
Not having 4 regular statute book. as the
State has, the Mayor and Aldermen must
put their enactments somewhere that the
public can have access to them. Simply
having them written in a book, and that
kept laid away in Il secret place, is no pub
LEGATION, and hence the public are not to
be presumed to know the laws. AS She laws
of the State are presumed to I've known by
every citizen in the State. The laws
should be printed with gOod plain type, and
put up In the Mayors Office. pasted Oh y
card, and also in the Courthouse. And
this is not all-they must be kept up all
the time; that is, kept published not nee
e~sSarily in a newspaper. but the corporate
officers should see to it that they are al
ways to be seen Dy the pHL!iC. And there
should be 4 heavy penalty for tearing or
.nutilating the publication when put up
for the Use of the public. Let the Mayor
and Aldermen observe all legal rules, and
their laws will be respected and also
obcyed.
