Bishop of Bresldu.-The Court of Ap.
peal of the Province of Posen rejected on
Monday 9Th of September, the appeal of
the Prince Bishop of Breslau againt the
judgment of the local tribunal at Birn
baum, which had condemned him to fine
of 2 900 marks, with the alternative of 1873
days imprisonment, on account of the ex-
communication of Kick, the intruded par
ish priest of Kaehme. 1t will be remem-
bered that Kick is priest of the diocese
of Breslau, consequently subject to the or
binary jurisdiction of DR.. Forster. The
Bishops offence consisted in admonishinG
him not to intrude himself at Kaehme; and
subsequently, in warning him that he had
incurred the ecclesiastical penalties full
minated against such intruders.
The SeqWesfrati0H Law.-The Govern
ment is about putting in force in most
severe and unforeseen manner the law con-
6scating the incomes of priests derived
from State funds. They are about to
compel the clergy to quit the residences
which they have hitherto occupied Wher-
ever these are not strictly private prop

their official residences on the Ist October
The Archbishop of Cologne has received

Change of Front

It was a wise remark of the lament
ed Lincoln, that it is a dangerous ope-
ration to trade horses while crossing a
stream. but the Radical managers in
Ohio seem disposed to encounter the
peril of the operation, and are begin
ming to abandon the" discussion Of the
currency question, and are building
their hopes on the old Know Nothing
howl of "Down with the Pope; - No
division of the school fund" /" andare
placing great reliauce on their ability
to lie the thing through. The Cleve-c
land Herald has discovered that the
leaders of its party have made grand
misteke, and cautions them that un-,
less they stop their nonsense, all will
be lost to them in Ohio. In an article
a short time ago, that paper said: -,
: "The first thing they know the
Democrats will be creating an impress
sion that the Republican party is
hard money party. And once get the
Republicans where they will have to
defend themselves from the charge of
being hard money men, contraction
lists, and in favor of immediate re-
sumption of specie payments, and that
moment the Republican cause of Ohio
is lost We speak the words OF truth
and sOberuess, aud ii it cuts, ReWibli-
can orators and Republican editors, SO
much the woIse for them."

N0rHrSe could more clearly show

NOEH1NG could more clearly show
the desperate straits to which the Rad
icals of Ohio are driven, than the con-
temptible system of lying to which
they have resorted at this early day Of
the campaign. A little over sASweek'
ago the Cleveland Leader pub1ished,a
letter from sneaking eavAs-dropping
correspondent, purporting$ relate a
conversation between Mr.. Theo. Cook,
of Cincinnati, and Senator Thurman,
relating to the Ohio canvas, in which
Thurman: is reported as ,dtnouncing
Carey as a demagogue, and desiring
the defeat of the Democracy. This con-
temptfble tfash is circuiated through
out the country in the virtuous Radi-
cal journals, and will continue to. be
repeated, though both Cooke and
Thurman pronounce it false, and de-
clare that no such conversation ever
took place by and between them. No
sooner was this lie well afoat, than the
Toledo Blade invents and sets afioat
the silly story that Governor Allen is
about 10 Withdraw from the candidacy
because he is growing old, and has
given up the battle in advance, because
he wants to save himself for the Pres
idential race next year. This story is
most silly Invention, and like that of
the Leader, is pure fiction. They are
the wicked lies to which the Radicals
are driven, but they will not avail
them. E<:if zoo it =" .i5''t..'

ure for the amount Of COST mean Of
course that kind of pleasure. Among
the excursionists was q certain profes-
sor, who was the innocent cause Of a
ludicrous sell. The Prof. not being in
seriously jovial mood, and perhaps
becoming somewhat disgusted with
the general levity ana light-hearted-
| ness of the company, went to perusing
the latest computations regarding the
| transit Of Venus, when his mind Be-
came intensely fixed and absorbed In
immense mathematical problems. Put
ting aside his pamphlet and resting
his head upon his cane, his thoughts
reamed among the heavenly bodies,
aud SO Intensely was his mind fixed
upon the subject that he became to-
tally unconscious Of everything about
him. Every time the cars gave q
lurch, and every time he seemed to
como to d satisfactory conclusion, his
head would have that peculiar nod
that drunken mans has when sleep
ing off his potatiohs. A wag seeing
the mysterious glances given the hard
thinking Prof. by the many new
cemers into the car, gently limited that
there was air excess Of spirits aboard.

before 'itowas reported through The
whole train, that one of the excur-
sionists was in a high state of intox-
ication. Many took occasion to pass

were. remarkably facetiuus and witty.
Those who understood the sell wcie
particularly happy, and those who
made remarks understood that they
themselves were peculiarly witty to
cause SO much mirth, by their sharp
sas sings. Still the Prof. was uncon-
scious to all things save his own
thoughts, till the train arrive.l at Lake
Wow, when the stopping of the train
and the hustle (I DON'T mean that other

made such witty remarks, when they

if he regards it to be ones duty to
