Ts. President. Dc. Meine. speech.

The January number Of the Catholic Uort6
contains "a remarkable article upon President
Grants speech at Drs Mninrs, Iowa, ut the con
vention Of the Army of the Tennessee, ON Sep
tember "a. 1t professes to tind that all that
Grant said of the relations of Church anl State
and of the contest which he predicted might &c
cur between s.patrintism and intelligence on the
one side, aud superstition, ambition and isnor'
ance on the other" is in perfect accord with the
teachings of Catholicism. "The speech express
es- saws tue Catholic WOrld 'better than many
imagine the common sentiments of the American
people" and of Grant it declares, ''all must admit
he is true American, formed and m'nlded 10y

speech are adopted the Church will be cnntent
The article is very ably written. and the process
of reasoning by which the President Is ma'ie tt

theory of the common school SYSTEM Is really III
geuious But whether the President will accept
this argument as the true interpretion of his
speech is an interesting question.

Gen. Grant Be-aeminaied BY the Methods
Preacher.--Remnrkss sf BishsP Haven.

The Methodist preachers and the Methndist
Sunday -School UniOn held a joint meeting on
Monday last IN the Temple Street Methodist
Episcopal Church, Boston, the Rev. L. b. Bates
presiding. After devotional exercises, Prot. W IL
liam Wells. of Union Cullege, was introduced TO
address the meeting. He spoke on the subject
of bismarck and the Papacy," reviewing at
length the circumstances which led to the rup-
fure which exists between the German Govern
ment and the Pappacy. He declared that to the
school system of Germany more than to any 9th
earthly thing belongs the honor of the Ger
man success. In concluding. he warned the peo-
pie of the United States of the danger which is
threatening them aud their free institutions by
the Papacy.
Bishop Gilbert Haven, in accordance with an
invitation extended by the preachers meeting a
fortnight ago, addressed the audience the
condition of the South. He said that there was
one class of people in the South who had been
recognized u nationality by the Pope, and
they would welcome his followers to these
shores hut the race freed by the people Of the

STATE TREAsURERs.-It is a favorite diversion
of the rery few Democratic papers that manage
To keep alive in Kansas, to array the names of
certain State Treasurers in capital letters single
file, as having d, frauded the State. The names
are Dutton, Graham, Hayes, Lappin. 1t may do
for the organs of that honest Democratic party
TO harp upon; but as a fact, not one of those
officers ever defrauded the State ont of one cent
DuttOn was Treasurer at the time the Governor,
Auditor and Secretary of St-se wsrr' impeaehed.
The same Legislature that did it was bitterly
,stile 10 Dutton, aud left nothing undune to
discover some irregularity upon which they could
.clude him; but, with their large majority
in the House, they could find nothing upon which
TO risk even resolution of impeachment.
Graham was accused Of depositing State money
in banks. There was not even law which WIS
considered an actual prohibition of this practice.
But the Legislature ordered him to discontinue
it, as it was using the State funds for an illegit-
innate purpose, and suhjecting them to great risk.
The State did not lose a dollar by it.
A law was passed relative TO this matter, and
was amended SO as to make it more binding, af-
ter Hayes was elected, ard it was suspected be
was using the State funds in the same manner.
Still, after this he detected, not in defraud-
ing the State, but in using the State funds as be-
fore stated, in direct violation of law. He was
compelled to resign, to escape impeachment, and
the State got every cent belonging to it. This
same practice had been carried on, not only by
State Treasurers, but by County Treasurers,
Democrats as well as Republicans, until they
were forbidden by law-and doubtless is still
done by some.
Lappin is accused of paying money ont of
the Treasury for fraudulent bonds, upon the or
der Of officers whose duty it is to issue such or
ders The fact that, without moments warn
ing, he turned over the Treasury. with every
thing straight and in good order, shows that
thsrs was nothing wrong in its management. 1t
yet remains to be shown whether he was party
to the frss..:.i0r or not But he is fully RESPONSE
! Bic for many times the amount of the fraud,
there is no danger that the State will lose n dol
lar 10y it,
So that it will be seen, out Of the great array
of swniling State Treasurers, according to DEM
ocratic authority, the State has not lost dollar
by any of them. The only State Treasurer who
ever caused loss to the State, was Honest Billy
Spriggs, who took in $50 counterfeit greenback,
and the Legislature assumed the loss; and no
charges were ever prefered against Spriggs.

THIRD TERM STocK RIsING-PUBLIc SESTI-
MEHT DRIFTING SURELY To GRANT.-The time is
coming fast it is felt IN the air; It IL seen IL
the movement of great religions bodies, for have
we not heard of the resolutions adopted by the
General Methodist Convention at Boston, Mass.
which pointed ut the reelection of the present
President as being of the vital necessities for
the welfare of the United Statesi The same
symptom is observed in the tone of newspapers
heretofore bitterly hostile Ia the denomination
nf Gen. Grant. The Commercial is with the peo.
ple-with them il believes that the "V0ice of the
people is the v,iee of God" We think We art
not mistaken in the drift of popular sentiment
when We say it is graduallycoming to the con
clnsion that the time and the occasion will de
iland the denomination of President Grant.-N

GRANGE MARRIAGE CEREMoNY.-By proceed
ings of the National Grange, a committees was
appointed to get up a Grange Marriage Ceremo,
ny. Fer some days We have considered this the
joke of some newspaper reporter. What especial
Use or necessity exists for making the marriage
ceremony of the farmer differ frum that of any
other calling, fail to see. Ii occurs to us as
very direct course to make the order look ridc-
ulous. 1t must certainly have originated in the
brain of the same grnns who proposes to have
all Patrons wear u uniform suit in color and
style. The snoner such NONSENSE as this is snuff
Ell ont the better for the order.

q Afeadlng citizen of Wathens tells us that,
if Greeley, the shoe-peg picker, keeps OH as he
mas been for some weeks past, he expects to see
him taken TO the Lunatic Asylum before the
end of another year. He considers him far ad-
vanced on the road to lunacy. The census-taker
was not far ont of the way, when he set him
down as insane, and probably did it more from
design than accident. HIS pleading the baby
act made rs feel ashamed for having proddetl
him up so severely; we can hardly fnrgive our
self If it turns out that we have been bandying
words with a lunatic.

DEATH OF A. C. WLDER-Hou. A. c. Wilder
died at San Francisco, on the 22d inst, of con-

aud was for some years member of the Repub-
Iican State Central Committee. He was most
jealous and active in the csuse, and to his efforts
much of the success of the party was due. He
was elected to Congress in 1862, defeating Martin
+. Conway in the Republican State Convention,
and Marcus J. Parrott at the polls. At the next
election, in 1864, Sid Clarke was Provost Mar
shal of Kansas, and had appointed deputies in

EMBRY AcQUITTED.-Embry, who shot d. r.
Anthony, last Spring, had his trial at Leaven-
worth, last week. The jury, after an abseuce of
lees than nye minutes, returned verdict or &c
auittal. The Prosecuting Attorney made a
strong argument against Embry, while his at,
torueys, without word of argument, submitted
the case on the evidence. On the trial, mum
Der of the most prominent men in Lesvenwortll
swore that Anthony was quarrelsome, turbu
lent, dangerous man, and that they would not
believe him under oath, in a case in which be
was interested.
Anthony claims that the jury was packed with
men whose minds were already made np and
that he felt certain the verdict would be for ac-
quittal. The law gives him the right to object
TO jurymen-why did be not do it'll To an out
slider, it looks as if he were exceedingly obnoI
ions to the community. First, he is convicted o
libel-the only conviction on a criminal actor
for libel ever given in the State; and then q
man who shoots and almost kills him, is acquit
ted on the first ballot of the jury-and in boil
instances, he claims that it was on accent o.
prejudice against him in the community.
