Referring to tho Central Pacific Rail

COMMON SCHOOLS.

And now another element of opposi
ton to the non-sectaiian system Of COM
mon schools appears. At the Episcopal
Convention held at Brooklyn, the Rev.
s. Browne, on behalf of the Committee
on Christian Education, reports reso-
luton urging the establishment of schools
where religious instruction may be i'm
parted, of a character not possible under
the present system of public instruction.
This follows close upon the request made
by the Roman Catholic hierarchy of New
York city for the apportionment of
share of the public school moneys for
the support of tho parochial schools es-
tablished and controlled by the Roman
Catholic clergy. These demonstrations
show what difficult subject public ed
ucation will become, If once sectarianism
is allowed to acquire any hold upon the
system. Yet the arguments OF the var
ious religious denominations are not
only plausible, but full of force and often
very difficult to answer, On the other
hand, the slightest step toward the salts
faction of their various claims seem
fraught with evils worse than those
already encountered. The diem
ma reminds one of the moral
conveyed in the well known brochure of
Ginx's baby. That celebrated infant
was the innocent cause of much conten-
ton, but in the end the poor child was
the sufferer. SO it seems, in q great
measure to be with the education oil
youth, If once the never ending, still
beginning feature of religious differences
ia allowed to cut any figure in the mat
ter. That children should receive relig-
ious instruction, taken in tho abstract,
seems only reasonable and praise.

The bankers and senator Morton.

We know that the public were very much
surprised In reading the interview OF the
bankers as published in yesterdays Jour-
nal. Some of the gentlemen interviewed
were personal friends OF that eminent states
man and able financier, Senator Morton,
and to find them expressing themselves so
decidedly in favor of the repeal of the re-
sumption bill was blow at the senator in
the house of his friends, which the public
did not expect. 1t will be remembered
that In the senator's Urbsna speech, which
the Sentinel was the first to lay before the
public, he claimed that be had something to
do In drafting that bill, which was only a
characteristic and modest way of claiming
the paternity of the measure.
We did not expect so soon to see his re-
sumption baby disowned by his immediate
friends, and then to have his own organ
give currency to their views Is cut which
the senator must feel keenly. How can he
expect to secure the presidency when his
own friends and organ are so sadly democrat

and thirty days Is quite a convenience. It
will thus appear how happy q thing it viii
be to have the central postmaster under
some obligation and promise of favor.
All power and favor that he possesses is
thus pledged by Postmaster Holloway, if
the postmssters will only help him in the
circulation of Morton's organ. the Journal
II this is not a prostitution of govern
ment office, selling out or official
influence. it would be hard to tell what
would be. Members of congress have some
influence and patronage at their command,
and when one of them sold out his power
in appointing cadet at West Point he was
promptly expelled from congress. That
was no worse than the action of the Indian
apolis postmaster. He proposes to bestow
his favor in his official capacity
to those who will render him
private gain. 1t is the same prin-
ciple of prostitution, the same outrageous
violation of the decency and dignity OF off,
cial station for the purpose of securing pri-
vste gain.
How many OF the postmssters of this state
will respond to the offered insult? Let the
citizens OF the state of Indiana at every
postal town take notice of such postmasters
as become the agents and solicitors of the
Journal, and let every man who receives the
private letter Mr.. Holloway promises re-
aect that the postmaster where he gets his
mail, is one of the men who would purchase
the favor of the Indianapolis postmasre r
here by complying with his request. Let
the local press of the state air this matter in
every county, that the people may every
where know that government official here
at the capital of the state is selling out his
official influence and degrading his office for
individual profit.

Republicans KesponsibIe.

The Journal says that President Grant
and the Republican party are not to be held
responsible for the thieving of the admins
trstion officials. Well, in the name OF COM
mon sense, then who is to be held respon-
sible7 The character of Mr.. Grants early
appointments were denounced from the
first as indiscriminstive, and probably as
dishonest, as incapable, and it has been a
matter Of exceptional remark when a man
like Bristow or Jewell was appointed to high
Office. Now, that they have proven rsscals in
the courts of late, the administration is
to be absolved. The Journal refers to the
revenue plunderiDg under Andrew Johnson.
The Sentinel pities the wretcbed ignorance
of the Journal In making such declaration.
Mr.. Johnson's hands were tied so that he
could not remove the rascals from office, and
it is well known that almost one-third ofthe
collectors proved delinquent to the govern
ment, and that thousands and millions of
balances are against these Republican off,
Gals uDcollected and their bondsmen
unprecedented. 1t is pretty state
of affairs indeed If Mr.. Grants admins
tration is to be excused from reprobation
and condemnation, and the people left with
out any relief. The Journal will find that
the people will hold Mr.. Grant aud the Re-
publican party responsible for what is now
being developed, and for a great deal more
that has been concealed.

The Refuge of Inability.

A newspaper under the management of

The pretended quotation first above made

himself that it Is true. But in point of fact,
neither quotation is true In language or SEN

If people want to understand the immen-
sitv of the frauds that have been perpetrsted
by the Republican party on the nation, let
them multiply the amount stolen at st.
Louis by every other such opportunity for
stealing that these officials have had,
and there need not be much of a discount
made to approximate The true amount. 1t is
alarming when the vast sums are aggregs-
ted, but then the Republican party has had
neeo of vast sums to sustain its existence
and secure triumphs at the polls. Not more,
perhaps, than two-thirds of the stealings
went into private pockets.

Desf 0tfiee,

The letter of Mr.. Holloway, or rather the
official order from the headquarters OF the
mail department in Indiana, under the
official head lines as above, was sent
to the postmasters OF Indiana. Mr..
Holloway is the brother-in law OF Sena-
tor Morton, and as usual the
administration senators can make and un-
make postmasters at will. 1t will thus be
seen what an influence the p. M. of Indian
apolis proposed to WELD in favor of his
newspaper, or in other words, Morton's or
gan. On the same principle that the post
master acted, Mr.. Morton might have gotten
up document OF the same kind, headed 1t
SENATE CHAMBER, and set forth
the same line of argument that
the postmaster used, winding up with
q promise of reciprocity of favors If the SER
vile obedience that was invited should be
complied with. Indeed, it amounts in effect
to the same thing. When the postmaster
here offered reciprocal favors to Indiana
postmssters, it meant something, especially
at all towns where there are money order
offices. In central offices, like Indianapolis,
these are a sort of general deposit head
quarters, a place where the smaller offices
send their overplus, and when deficiency
occurs they may draw from. The central
Office has it In its power to favor the out
side Offices by letting them retain the funds
till the end of the month, or perhaps the
quarter. This is quite an item In these hard
times, where the use Of cash for twenty

Some are very much surprised that mas
much as the exposures at st. Louis are
running the Republican party, and Mr.. Grant
himself, that he does not stop the investi-
cations. Mr.. Grant has no power to stop 1t
now. The administration did not start
these Investigations. The stealing has
been going on for years, without
interference from the government, and
the government did nothing until the mat
ter became so notorious that private infor-
nation forced the investigations. The
executive has bear by the tail, a very
fierce one, too, and he can not let go, how

Give Us Another Man.

If the government did not know of the
whisky frauds of st. Louis it shows a GRIM
inal carelessness or utter incompetency that
should forever condemn it as a wretched
failure. Vast sums of money have been
paid out by the government for secret
detective service, and it is altogether i'm
possible that frauds on the revenue
to the amount OF twenty thous-
and dollars per week should have
gone on for four or five years and no one
detect it. Ten days surrey OF the railroads
from such a central point for the manufac-
ture of whisky as st. Louis, three or four
times year. would have been the
least time that ought to have been
bestowed upon il, II there was
pretense of surveillance at all.
But no such care was bestowed upon
the matter, and the government was system
aticslly defrauded by the very men that
were sent to collect the revenues of the
government. Suspicion of fraud there
long before the exposure, was current
through the country. he administration
seems to have closed its eyes, and
shut its ears and permitted the rascals
to have things their own way. 1t Is lament
able to be forced to believe that there was
tematic steal, by parties high in authority,
at Washington. 1t is, indeed, almost GER
tsin that the frauds could not have con-
tinued but by the knowledge of the
secretary of the treasury. 1t all looks
dark, and when it is remembered
that hundreds of thousands and millions of
dollars have been spent for election pur-
poses, secured from sources that no one
could unravel, the whole deprsvity OF the
party leaders becomes painfully apparent.
What wretched and unholy plots have
been planned and executed against
the nation in defense OF the Re-
publican party. Should 1t be continued
in power there is no security that
even more depraved practices will not
prevail generally. These whisky frauds
are peculiarly aggravating, from several
facts. First, the loss OF the revenue; sec
ond, from the great injustice done to honest
manufacturers, preventing their fair COM
petition for custom and patronage, and
lastly, from the demorslizing effects
of crime going on, without let
or hindrance, damaging public credit and the
public confidence in general.
Will honest men, through sectional preju-
dice, continue to support such party that
has suffered such rascalities to go on?
Surely not. II 1t is to be the fate of the
nation to have to suffer Republican party
rule for another tour years, let
the country have the poor relief Of
an exchange of evils at least. 1t can not
scarcely get worse. Give us Morton rather
with all his wsywsrd instability and ma
lignant hate. Give us rather Blaine and
his high tariff. Give us Conkling,
with his flowing locks. Give US
even Butler with his spoons, Chandler
with his whisky, or Logan with his foul
speech. Give somebody else, even If the
new born Republican from the gambling
dens of New York-Morrissey himself. He
would even promise better than this whole
sale stealing, sample of which is un-
covered at st. Louis. Crooked whisky Grant
must step down and out.
