The Franklin Printing Press.

John B. Murray of New York, presented to the
commissioners of patents, claim of ownership of
the original Benz. Franklin printing press, which,
for many years, has been in the possession Of the
patent Office. After full examination of the doc
umentary evidence submitted, it was found that
Mr.. Murray's claim Is perfectly good, and the
press will be held subject to his order. 1t appears
that Harold & Son Of London, England presented
the press to Mr.. Murray in lS4l; that he brought
it to this country in 1872, kept it in New York
several years, and then deposited it for safe keep
ing in the National Institute in Washington
city. When this institute soon afterwards ceased
to exist, the press removed to the model room
OF The patent office, where it has since remained.

Cabinet Meeting.
The cabinet session, to-day, was Of unusual

THE POPE ON INFALL1BlLITY.

Recently the Pope deliver an
address to the "Academy of the
Catholic Religion" the text of which
has been republished by the Journal
of Florence. In the course of it the
Holy Father made the following
remarks on infallibility. Among the
different subjects which you will
have to treat there is one which
seems to me of special Importance,
and that is to bring to nothing the
efforts that are being made to falsify
the idea of pontifical infallibllity.
Of all these efforts that which seems
the fullest of malice consists in
attributing to the infallibility of the
Pope theright ofdeposing sovereigns
and of absolving subjects from their
allegiance. Without doubt, this
right has sometimes been exercised
by the popes in their supreme
struggles, but it never had anything
IN common with their infallibility,
and it's source was not in infallibil-
ity, but in the pontifcal authority.
Moreover, the exercise of the right
in the ages Of faith---when men
recognized i'll the Pope, what he
really is, supreme judge Of Chris
tendon, and acknowledged the
advantages of this tribunal for the
solutions of great questions arising
between people and their sovereigns
the exercise Of that right spreads
itself, seconded as it ought to have
been by public law and the general
agreement of the nAtionalities, to
the gravest interests of the States
and their chiefs. The conditions of
the present day are greatly changed,
and only malice can confound two
things so different; infallibility in
regard to revealed principles, and the
right which the popes exercised in
virtue of their authority when then
the welfare of society demanded it.
Our enemies know this as we'll as we,
and it is easy to see why they call
up this confusion Of ideas and
put forward hypothesis in which
nobody believes. They invent these
pretexts in order to atlict us and to
excite princes against the church
There are some who wish ] should
explain and render still more clear the
definition Of the council. 7 will moi

and has no need Of further explana
tons or commentaries"

by the President. That eminent Democratic
light, Judge fancy, decided this years ago,
in case which was some time ago quoted
In the INTER OCEAN. Some one had to be
recognized by the President, and very prsp-
erly be chose to recognize the candidate
who had the support of the courts and was
the defaeto Governor. Having recognized
Kellogg, the President can do nothing less
than sustain him until Congress or . new
election intervene to relieve him of that
duty. II it takes the army Of the United
States to maintain peace, so be it. It is to
be deplored that such should be the nee
essity, but peace mast be maintained. It Is
better that Governor about whose election
there Is doubt should continue to administer
affairs for term than that the State should
be overwhelmed with civil war and commo-
ton. Those who do not see this are too
blinded by partisan hate to see GnythiIg
reasonable.
The White Leaguers contend that Mem
cry was elected by large majority. The
Republicans alege that Kellogg was elected
in like manner. The committee who have
examined the matter have some doubts as
to the election of Kellogg. but they have
no doubt as to the defeat of McEnery.
Either Kellogg is Governor, or there is none.
Congress has refused TO say there Is no Gov
ernor, and the President takes the respon-
sbility Of deciding in this emergency that
the one who is acting as Governor. who
has been declared Governor by the courts.

Office thar McEnery, shall be maintained iL

as If made by Congress or tbs courts. Yet

ASPICY LETTER FROM MRS. BYRON
PAINE,

EDITORS STATE JOURNAL: I desire TO
thank Mr.. DooLITTLE, through your col
umns, for the (unintentional) honor he
would bestow on Judge PAINE in credit
ing him with an effort to give the negro
the ballot in this State. That he failed is
the pity! That Mr.. DooL1TTLE helped to
cause the failure at that time, was mis-
fortune for himself, lot less than for the
black man. That my husband believed
IN the franchise for the negro in this
country, can bear test mony; and the
result has shown that-ignorant as MID.
says he is-he knows enough to vote for
the party that gave him his freedom and
the franchise and it is because he votes
thus, that Mr.. Door TITLE would deprive
him Of the right to vote, by qualifying
suffrage in Louisiana.
The Republican party did not make
mistake in giving the ballot to the form
er slave, nor to the free black man. It's
mistake has been in not diIranchSsng
traitors! All those men engaged in
plotting treason to this government
should have been DISTINGUISHED forever
There has been, I fear, its fatal mistake
Certainly if it fails to stand by the black
man, protecting him with bayonets when
it is necessary, and furnishing his
murderers, it has no further excuse for
being.
Years ago, during the anti-s.avery agi-
tation, we used to hear it said that slav-
cry had a worse effect on Che white than
ON the blacks! The exercise ofifrespon-
sible power over their fellow beings was
not Christianizing, humarizing influence
on the matter. think some Of US begin
to realize this truth coac, If we did not
then. Human life, whether of whites
or blacks, is of very little account in the
south!
All honor to President GRANT! We
need man used to command in his place
and am thankful that we have one. A
mere civilian would not, fear, have been
prompt enough to act to have prevented
bloodshed. And all honor to Gen.
SHERIDAN, for having the courage to call
the White League By its right name
Assassination and murder are its
instruments, then why are they not
banditti?
Very truly, Yours,
MRS BYRON PAINE.

TIE PRESIDENT AND HIS LOUISIANA
POLICY.

1t is significant as well as gratifying to
note that the position first assumed by the
1NTER-OCEAN in regard to the interference
ofthe military in Louisiana is coming to be
generally adopted by the best authorities
everywhere. The INTER OCEAN held l..
That the interference was necessary and
justifable. 2. That the forms of the Con-
stitution were observed in every essential
particular-more closely, indeed, than ir
almost any other case of similar character
which has occurred in our history. This
view is being gradually embraced as the
correct one, and we bear far less just now
TO than we did few weeks ago. The fact
is, if the clause of the Constitution confer
ring power on the Executive to put down
instruction in State means anything at
all. it means that just such measures as
were employed in Louisiana, or even those
far more severe, should be used upon Just
such occasions, and to meet just such emer-
;gencies That men processing to understand
the Constitution should have rallied against
the President as usurping authority and
establishing dangerous precedent by his
course in New Orleans is only another evil
dence hom popular clamor may make unrea-
soning zealots Of the best Of men.
An interesting discussion of this question
and those growing out of it has been going
on lately through the columns of the New
York Herald. Mr.. George Ticknor CARTS
who sees with the jaundlced eyes of the
bitterest partisan, took occasi on to air his
peculiar notion through the Herald, and
was responded to by Nj. stoughton, an
eminent lawyer, in very able and copcla-
slYe article IN support OF the legality Of
armed intervention in Louisiana. Mr..
Stoughton very truly says that it makes nc
particle of diferehce whether Kellogg was
legally elected or not. This is disputed
question, which, in the absence Of Con.
gresslonal legielation, had to be determined

The FOURTH Annual Report ofthe
State Board Of Charities ard Reform
of the State Of Wisconsin presented
to the Governor, December, 1874,
is received.
We have not had time to read it,
but from hasty glance at the
contents we should think it valuable
document. In relation to Kenosha
County J all, il is great improve
ment upon some Of its predecessors.
1t says nothing about the Jail except
in table Of Jail statistics. This
table is headed as follows:
TABLE Showing the total number
ofpersons in the Jails Of the state,
sex, nativity, number of insane, num-
Der under 90 years of age, number
able bodied persons, and the ccstper
week for keeping, during the year
ending November /, 1874.
The table gives Kenosha County
Jail as follows: Whole number 131,
male 1919, female 2, Native II,
Foreign "a, Insane 6, Under 90 F.. :,
Able bodied, estimated, 125, Cost of
keeping per week $3.50.
This table is probably correct,
except the cost of keeping per week.
$3.50 per week is the cost ofkeeping
the prisoners, but. not the cost of
keeping the insane. The County
pays $500 per week forkeeping each
of the insane, or $50 per week for the
six, which amounts to $1,56O per
year.
In speaking of Poor Houses the
Report says:
KENOSHA COUNTY.
This county has no regular poor
house. It's paupers are still cared
for in the poor-house belonging to
the city of Kenosha.
This Is mistake. There are no
paupers cared for in the poor house
belonging to the city Of Kenosha
except the paupers Of the city of
Kenosha. The county cares for the
county paupers land each of the eight
towns cares for the town paupers.
The county hires it's paupers taken
care of, and each town takes care of
its own paupers as it thinks best.
In view Of these mistakes we
would again respectfully suggest to
the Board Of Charities and Reform
that it would be we'll for them to
visit the Kenosha County Jail and
Kenosha Poor-Houae at seasonable
hours, and to remain long enough in
them, and in Kenosha, to learn, and
enable them to report correctly, free
from exaggerations and inaccuracies,
the facts in relation to them.
