located here it is part Of my duty to
visit the few Catholics of the adjoin-
ing counties. While on these visits |
fall in with many non-Catholics, who
with the best intentions have the most
extravagant notions Of Catholic faith,
often crediting Catholics with te'ief
the very reverse of the truth. l never
could assign reason for these wrong
impressions on the minds of good,
well-meanirg people; though should
it turn out that "Southsider" is a
teacher in Israel" il might throw
light on the subject. True, when they
express the wish to hear me | accede,
and address them sometimes in pri-
vate house, sometimes in the Court
House or public hall, and in the case
in question, in the church at Palmyra
and Tarsus. | invariably confne my
self to an erpldnatioa of Catholic doc
trine, avoiding all controversy.
The letter of "Southsider" is the
first intimation | received of having
giving offence. l certainly did not in
tend it, and am pleased in being able to
say many were kind enough to express
their satisfaction. l avail myself OF
this opportunity of testifying to the
uniform kindness | receive from the
people. At Palmyra and Tarsus, it is
true, | did not have the direct permits
sion of the ministers in charge yet
was given to understand the fullest
permission was granted. In fact, the
Rev. Mr.. Webb was among the audi
ence at Palmyra, and had he-expressed
his unwillingness to have me speak
there. | would certainly have conform
ed to the rules of professional etiquette
acknowledged his right and retired.
On calm review, l fail to see any
cause for the evident irritation oil
Southsider's letter. But as the Cath.
Ollie Church teaches charity as well as
faith, and will have her children prac-
tice it even toward their enemies,
forgive "Southsider" for using such
coarse language, but must remind hin
that it is forbidden by a precept of the
Decalogue TO bear false witness
against ones neighbor "-even wheI
that neighbor is a Catholic.
In future, Mr.. Southsider, let m,
suggest that you read more. write less
and beg of some one to teach you wha
you think you know when about tt
write on Catholic subjects.
Respectfully,
p. j. GLEEsoN,
Catholic Priest.

SIR EDWARD THORNTON, in a re-
cent letter, is said to prophesy that the
governments of England and the
United States will become alike in
their leading features, the former be-
ing assimilated to the latter. We have
too much respect for the mother cOun-
try to desire any assimilation Of Its
government to the UNANIMOUSLY corrupt
administration which now degrades
the people and government of the
United States. If England will keep
the wild retormers quiet, it has, and
will continue to have, the best govern.

best were men more perfect, morally
and intellectually. But ignorance and

THE splendid reception given to the
Southern soldiers by the citizens of
Boston, has already, by its mere an
nOunccment, done more for the cause
of peace and the restoration of fellow
ship between the sections, than could
have been effected by the force bill
in a hundred years. 1t has sounded
the death KEEL of Radical policy, and
made it a foregone conclusion that
there shall be a chang of administra-
ton. 1t has given force to the truism.
that the government can not long ex-
lst-One- half slave, and the other free.
and much longer enslavement of the
South, under r ,dical policy, as is clear
now, would result in the subversion of
the government, and the subsection of
the entire people to the will of an ir
responsible autocrat. All that has
saved us is the fact that Grant failed
to see his OPPORTUNITY, and 10 strike

THE wanton destruction of prairie
chickens, in the northwest, is avenged
by the ravages of the grasshoppers,
and the indiscriminate slaughter of
song birds in this section, has increased,
tenfold, the mischief done by cut
worms, and borers and other depreda-
tors upon field, orchard and garden.
The law for the protection of birds, in
this State, is a dead letter.

IT was characteristic of Grant to
take the law in his own hands, by
knocking down tie colored official
handed Offense in consideration OF his
unmistakab!e recognition Of the negro,
as the equal of the President of the
United States, in stand up street
fight. We would not insinuate, how
ever, that this recognition reflects
honor upon either Of the parties to this
conflict of races. 1t displayed the
characteristic ingratitude of the negro.
to attempt to thrash the man who
signed the social rights bill, whilst it
equally illustrated the consistency of
the signer, by recognizing the Radical
theory that niger is as good as a
white man, and ought to have white
mans chance in street fight.

To INFER from the non-payment'of
the July interest, even squirting to-
wards reputation, will bea very hasty
and illogical conclusion. The inability
to meet it. is ascribable, we presume,
to the Interruption in the process of
tax collecting; and if the forty cents
tax be sufficient to meet the annual
interest, we see no reason why the July
and January interest may not be paid
at the latter period, without injury to
State credit and without much incon-
vonience to the bondholders. The
depreciation in the price of bonds. may
be the work of combination, which
is to profit by buying the bonds at a
low figure and selling them at great
advance. And if the credit of the State
is to be made the foot ball of specula-
tive capital, we say let the interest be
paid when we get the money, without
borrowing and thus conlpounding the
interest On the debt. Ii the tax is
sufficient to meet the interest, it is the
duty of the State officials TO see that
it is promptly collected and applied to
its legitimate object; but if, by any
contingency, there is failure to collect
a sufficient amount, there is no moral
nor equitable obligation which de-
mands that few specializing bond
holders shall have their Interests pre-
ferred to those Of the entire popula-
ton of the Stale. We regret the fail
ure to meet the July interest but il
capital chooses to take advantage oil
the 6nancial embarrassment of the
State to the detriment of its credit, lei
capital bear its proportion of the 'ac-
cruing loss, for the State can not afford
to add to its burdensome debt the
additional weight of compound inter.
est. Individual creditors have to wait
upon their debtors who have nothing
with which to pay; and since State
is but the aggregation of individuals
let its creditors do likewise. We re-
pudiate reputation, in any form. but
if the masses be pressed to the wall by
unrelenting creditors, they may insist
upon reputation as a measure Of self
Observation-Disclosures justifiable.

TIE fact that the Herald and the
Times, Of New York, after having long
upheld Beecher's innocence. now insist
that he is guilty, is significant of the
weight Of testimony against Linn, but,
we opine. the weight of gold will over
balance the testimony in the peck
cts, if not the minds, of the jury.
Beecher's counsel professed, some
time ago, to know the verdict of the
jury and that knowledge could only be
derived from 4 successful tampering
with the men who are willing to COM
nit perjury for consideration.
