President MacMahOn'S Position.

President MacMahon, in his message
to the French Assembly on the Sd of
December said "You will, I trust,
come TO an agreement on the important
questions which you are about to dis
cuss. [ shall not decline my share of
the responsibility, and the intervention
of my government shall not be wanting
But am anxious to let you know at
once how I understand my duty toward
the Assembly and the country. I did
not take power to serve the aspirations
of any party. am here only as means
of social defense and national re-
covery. I call to aid me in this work,
without any spirit of exclusion, all mon
of good will-all those who subordinate
their personal preferences to the neces-
sity of the present time and the sacred
cause of the country. [ ardently desire
that the cooperation of none of them
may fail me. claim it in the name of
France, whose safety and grandeur ]
have alone in view. But in any case
nothing will discourage me from &C
complishing my task. On the Goth OF
November, 1878, in the interest OF
peace, order, and public security, you
intrusted me for seven years with the
Executive power The same interest
makes it duty for me not to desert the
post in which you have placed me, and
to occupy it until the last day with i'm
mutable frmness and scrupulous re-
spect for the law" .t

The Iowa BiShOpric.

The reasons givan by the Rev. DR..
Huntington for declining the Bishopric
of Iowa are: "We are in the midst Of an
arduous building enterprise, begun,
not, indeed, with an express promise on
my part that would see it through, but
certainly with a general understanding
on the part of my people that we were
pledged to stand by one another in this
work. You know that the times are not
particularly favorably to undertakings
of this nature. I am assured by this
evidence, the force of which it is not
easy to gainsay, that any departure just
at this moment, when the money needed
for the new church is only half raised,
will certainly cripple, and possibly ship
wreck, the endeavor. It may very well
be that my friends here exaggerate the
value of my assistance in the work they
have in hand, but it is equally possible,
and may I not even say more probable,
that you have overestimated your need
of me- -

The Proposed Government Road,

The bill presented by Mr.. Hurlbut,
of Illinois, for the encouragement of
the Washington, Cincinnati and
st. Louis Railroad project. pro-
vides that the road shall be separated
into two divisions, the First, of 400
miles in length, to run from the Dis
trict to the Ohio river, where double
track iron bridge shall be constructed.
The course of the road will be along
the right bank of the Ohio to Cincin-
natl. The Second Division will be 700
miles in length. On the First Division
the United States will guarantee the in
terest on bonds at the rate of $17, 500
per mile. On the Second Division in
terest is to be guaranteed on the bonds
at the rate of $4,000 per mile. A pro-
vision of the bill fixes the rate of freight
charges at nine mills per mile per ton
on grain, and the right of Congress to
further regulate freight and passenger
rates is reserved. The bill provides fol
a branch to Chicago.

A Child Goes to Bed i'm Good Health and
BECOMES Blind i'm as Hour.

From the New York Times, Dec. Is.
Frank, son of John Mcdonnell, re-
siding on the east side of First street,
below Monroe, who is about fourteen
years of age, went to bed in apparently
good health on Friday night. In about
an hour he called his father and told
him he could not see. The parents
sent for Rev. Father Nash and DR..
Cooper. Saturday morning the lad
was no better, but during the afternoon
he was able to see for short time, but
has since been blind, His condition is
really pitiful, This morning he was
sitting up in bed and everyfew minutes
short and sharp spasm would seize
him. He desires constant watching for
fear that he will harm himself. He
put his fingers in his mouth and at
tempted to bite them off. His hands
have been bandaged to prevent him in
juring himself. DR.. w. S. Cooper says
the case is a most singular one.

An Important Decision.

The Supreme Court of Minnesota has
filed it's first decision sustaining the
validity of the declaration in the nation
al homestead law that s'No lands &C
CURED under the provisions of this act
shall in any event become liable to the
satisfaction of any debts contracted
prior to the issuing of the patent there
for. The Court holds that this pro-
vision is constitutional and valid, and
does not violate the sovereignty of the
state; that land patented to an actual
settler under the act does not become
liable for debts of the patentee con
contracted prior to the issuance of the
patent, If conveyed to another person
and that the Legislature is, by the state
constitution, expressly prohibited from
passing any law subiecting homestead
lands to levy and sale upon execution
issued upon a Judgment for debt o
the patentee created prior to the issu
ance of the patent.
