GREAT EVENT OVER

After a four weeks call in the
Register for the faithful to assemble
in "fuil attendance" in Convention
at Eaton, to appoint delegates to the
Radical State Convention, to be held
at Columbus on the I'd of June, the
number of third-termites that met
in the Court House on last Saturday
for this purpose, was just seventeen,
all told! 1t was the saddest and
most melancholy illustration of the
popularity of the third term princi-
pie We have seen yet. Nobody Is
very anxious to attend the funeral of
Grantism next month. At least
fourteen Of the number that were in
attendance at this ortpouring (?) of
the people, are on the anxious
bench to serve the Hdear people" in
some official capacity. A PROPOSE
ton to consider on the next County
Ticket, was mysteriously forgotten,
owing however, to the unavoidable
absence of the gentleman whose
head quarters are in Dayton. city,
and who "lubricates the machine
with solid chunks of fat" drawn from
the Revenues Of the Sd District
We believe there vas no instructions
issued as to how the delegates should
vote Oil the third-term resolutions.
In connection with this, we notice
that the same day the Radicals meet
in Columbus, Grant will move the
Government on the works of Long
Branch, and owing to the number of
horse C and dog fights that will
engage his attention on that day, he
will be obliyious to the proceedings
of the pow-wow, but if the third term
resolution is suppressed, a committee
will be dispatched to Long Branch
TO "smile" with the Government and
congratulate him on his prospects il
Ohio.

The Register is still unhappy over
the little bit Of "public fat that

ional pitiful lamentations for the loss
of this "fat," are more distressing
than the weeping of Rachel for her
progeny, which were not. As soon
as the campaign opens it commences
to "boo-hoo" about the county pat
ronage. The adding of the whisky

Whether inconceivable stupidity
or willful ignorance we know not, but
it is certainly one or the other that
has raised this great hue and cry
with reference to the GEGHAN bill.
W. NJ. FERGUSON, Chaplain of the
Ohio Penitentiary, and a strong Pro
testant, writes as follows to the
Christian World, of Cincinnati. Let
our readers read and reflect:
"Moving along smoothly here. We
have nearly twelve hundred prison.
ers. Four hundred in prayer meet,
ing, eight hundred in Sunday School,
All attended church at eleven A. NJ,
on the Sabbath except a very few
Catholics. The Geghan law does not
affect us disfavorably. It is really 6
very small matter, and by no mean:
merits the notice it has received from
the public. Our friends ofthe Cath
Ole faith had the privilege of saying
mass, in a private chapel in the in,
stitution long before the passage o.
this law. Hence las it is told me
it was not designed to affect the or
der of religious service in the Peni
Tertiary, but to give Catholics The
right to enter State institution:
where they had been excluded, ant
to what our courtesy granted then
to do here. This is ali. Why, then
this excitement and noise all owe
this country about Popish innova
tiol.s and dangerous aggressivenes'
on our Protestant rights? 1t is pure
ly political, and ought to cease"
We quote this in the hope hat i
may quiet the soul of our Bro. of tn
Register. We are deeply panied t.
see him in such agony and fear, ant
we'll do all that any christian neigh
Dor could do for another, to reliev
him. If he would publish the bill, i
might do him some good.

The Milwaukee News puts the
thing about correct when it says "the
fact about the recent raid on the
whisky men is that nobody gives the
Administration credit for hostility to
dishonesty, nor for any e~a-nestness
in reform measures. The only COM
ment is that they hope to squeeze
the distilleries, getting little money
for government, a little for campaign
purposes, and a good deal for pri,
vate pockets" This is very plausi.
BILE and accounts for the entire pro
ceedings. The fact that the inter
ests of the Treasury in appearance
require such a raid to be made, is {
damnatory one against the Admins
tration. 1t is evidence that collossa
rings and gigantic rascalities grow
into existence under the benign rul,
of the powers that be. 1t shows tina
millions of dollars which ought tob
in the Public Treasury, as the fruit
of the whisky tax, are not there; an
that tie deficiency is owing to tn
i~nefficiency or corruption of the re
publican officials. And yet thes
Revenue Collectors and supporter
of Grant have not a word to ute
against such scoundrelism and rot
berry, but by bowling against tn
Pope and Catholic Church, hope t
blind the people to their villainy, an
thus keep them in power. Let tn
Independent UoterS beware.

The last Legislature was one ofthe
best ever convened, although there
was a large list of scallawags in t.
principally Republicans. 1t held the
shortest session, passed fewer foolish
laws and modified or repealed more

The Portsmouth Tribune, (Repub-
%lican,) doesn't regard the Geghan
bill 'as so very unjust or alarming
in its character" and says, "strictly
annalyzed, the bill is but little more
than an embodiment of some of the
principles of the constitution into a
statute, relative to the rights of con,
science" But the office-holders and
organ-grinders of Grants thieving
administration, would make the PEG,
pie believe there was something hor,
rible about it, that it gave the Pope
power to swallow every Protestant in
Ohio, and there was no doubt il

STATE RIGHTS AND CHURCH
RIGHT"

The third term advocates appear
to be alarmed at the manner in which
State Rights are expounded and
understood by the Democratic par
ty, and the Rights Of the Church to
exercise dominion over things of a
temporal nature, as taught by the
Catholic Church" Doubtless the
democratic exposition of State
Rights is astounding to Cesarism.
While Grant and his third term adj
~vocates would destroy State Rights,
and convert the union Of States into
a centralized government at Wash
ington, the Democracy is for main
tanning both National and State
Rights as defined by the Constitu-
ton. In this there is q wide differ
ence between Grantism and his third
term advocates and the Democracy.
The one is for converting the Repub-
lie into an Empire, and the other for
maintaining its representative foim
as established by its fathers. The
third term idea is intended as an
entering wedge to a centralized gov,
eminent, and therefore all its advo-
Gates detest and hate State Rights,
through which the popular will Of
the people may and is expressed at
short intervals. In all ages, these
expositions of popular Rights, have
been distasteful to tyrants, and sc
they appear to be to Grant and his
satraDs. This smacks of Cesarism
and should be closely watched by
the people, for one of the early faith
ers of the Republic has well said:
shat the price of Liberty is eternal
vigilance" What one of Grants
third term advocates will deny for
their chiefthat he is not maneuverln9
for his W succession. We have
. asked for a response, but none o
! them will answer
AS to the rights of the Catholic
Church to exercise dominion ovel
! things of a temporal nature, no par
ty has even claimed any such au
thority for any religious denomina
ttien, meeAlesS the democracX.-Th
charge against the party is made b!
! Grants satraps and office-hoiders t.
| catch protestant votes for the thir'
term party. To every man of sense
the idea Of the Catholic Church O
any other religious denomination
appropriating the School Fund c
the State to its own use, is simpl,
ridiculous and preposterous in tn
extreme, for it is expressly prohibi
ted by the Constitution, and this in
strument cannot be changed &c
twenty years. 1t is the thines
electioneering dodge out, and show
that Grants henchmen must be har
;. pressed to warrant the use of such
a fimsy dodge to misiead and d.
. ceive the people into the support
;; so foul and corrupt a party.

of county officers over $500, 900; re,
duced turnpike tolls over % pei

the way of reform; all of which was
accomplished in much less time than
was occupied by any of their extrav,

$1,000 per annum! And an insult

his arms up to the shoulder into the

therefrom, "solid chunks of fat"
amounting to about 100000, and
then invested it in another county
And who at present is drawing "solid
chunks of fat" from the Uncle SANS
Treasury under Grants dynasty, o.
about $4,000 per annum to 'lubri
