Extra Session.
Special to the Cincinnati Gazette.


The subject of calling an extra session OF
Congress, in case the revenue bill fails, has
engaged the attention Of the Cabinet OH
GERS to a limited extent, and it IS by no
means certain that the President will deem
II best to assemble Congress. In case the
tax bill fails, the Secretary Of the Treasury
thinks it will be quite possible, by with
holding appropriations for all except those
expenses Of the Government which are alb
soiutely necessary, to get along until the
time for the regular meeting Of Congress
in December, unless Congress should
change the law regarding the payment Of
coin interest into the sinking fund. He
will. n any event, take care Of that fund,
rs now directed by law to do.

not relieve the question of it's inherent diff
culties. This, if conceded by the board of
education. will he a surrender Of the whole
subject matter OF controversy. The religious
training Of the children in these schools
under the direction OF the Catholic Church
will continue as heretofore, the teachers
being paid from the public treasury, which
would be simply provision for the support
of Catholic schools at the public expense.
If this may be done for tho Catholics. it
may with equal propriety and fairness

and every other denomination of Christians.
bringing to certain and speedy end the
whole common school system.
In our opinion these organs of the Catho-
lie Church are acting unwlseiy on this
subject, which we hope may not be persist
ed in by it's chief rulers. The public
schools should be relieved of sectarian in
fuence and bias in their management, and
the religious instruction of pupils left alb
sOlutely to parents, guardians and those
whom they may employ for that purpose.
so that all can patronize them on terms of
perfect equality. Religious instruction in
the public schools is not, in our opinion,
necessary for their success or for the pre-
servation Of the morals and purity of tho
children and youth that attend them. Tn.
less some such plan shall be adopted the
public schools must continue to meet the
opposition Of this large class of our fellow
citizens, so essential to their highest utility,

AmuSements.

Good Friday proved bad Friday for the
theatres. A few Of the impious faithful
gathered at the various playhouses, and set
up with the actors while they went through
the play.
Mrs. 4. S. Chanfrau played Christie john
stone, in the touching drama of that name,
at the Varieties Theatre. 1t is one Of her
best presentations. true to a life that might
be. She acts best when she seems to act
least; and should never attempt the high.
strung sensations that war against nature.
AS Christie she is charming in all respects.
She is the embodiment Of pastoral beauty,
and is an idyl in herself. She catches at the
Scottish dialect, sings her songs feelingly,
and there is left no reason to wonder why
she is worshiped by the village fisherman,
loved by the dreamy painter, and followed
by the idle lord of the play. The author Of
the novel left but little for the dramatist to
do, and that little, of arranging situations,
and bringing out characteristic dialogue,
has been well done By Mr.. Tayleure. The
same play will be repeated this noon and
night.
At the st. Charles Theatre to-day Mr.
Ben DeBar will play wilkins Micarjer,
with the hope that something will turn up
in the shape Of a good house. In the eve

That Gorgeous Apartment.

The Picoynue, in describing the new
Office of the State Superintendent of Public
Education, has shown a wonderful power
for romancing. Its assertion that the
apartments OF that functionary 'are posi-
lively magnificent excited much curiosity
and caused representative Of the REPUB-
LICAN, who has taste for ali that is beau
tiful in art or nature to call and investi
gate the grandeur Of the aforesaid apart.
ments. This was done not only for the
purpose of feasting his eyes on the mag
niicen5 scene that had been pictured by
the Pic, but for the reason also that if
the Pics story did not prove to be all
DER drawn tale, to find out to what ex.
tent the Superintendent had ''let the school
fund bleed" A visit to the apartments de-
seribed is sufficient to satisfy any person
who is q judge Of what is really magnifi-
cent and costly that the Pic. had only been
romancing when it gave a description
OF them. There is positively nothing new
or costly in the apartments. The furniture
is the same that was used in the old office
even to the carpet; and that being found
too small. has been patched With mating to
save the expense of a new one large enough
to cover the room which now constitutes
the chief Office OF the Superintendent of
Public Education. The apartments have
been newly papered, and this is all that is
new about them. The cost of the removal
and fitting up Of the new apartments could
not have amounted to much over
$780, If on this amount the Superin.
tendent has produced something that is
positively magnificent" ne deserves credit
rather than implied censure.

Hannibal Hamlin began life as printer,
and very possibly in the training which he

success as a politician. He is now sixty

public life forty years, during which time
he has been member of the Maine Legisla.
ture six years. IN three of which he was
Speaker of the House of Representatives,
member of the United States House of Rep
resentatiyes for four years, Governor of
Maine short time. Senator from Maine
sixteen years, Vice President of the United
States four years, and collector of customs
for the port of Boston four years. He was
recently again elected to the United States
Senate, thus extending his term of Office to
1879. Such career for man by no means
brilliant or learned is something wonderful,
and deserves the careful study of all aspir.
ing politicians. Boston Transcript.

EDITOR REPUBLICANS:
l had felt it a great compliment that
you did select me for enumeration
among those gentlemen who did them
selves the honor to welcome and listen to
the distinguished Senator Pinchback. Now
am greatly indignant to learn that paper
called the Bulletin Ia paper which | never
ready denies nay having attended there at
Exposition Hall.
Ii is false, Mr.. Editor; altogether false.
1 was there and was charmed with the
words of wisdom and good coansel which
fell from the lips of Mr.. j. Sella Martin and
the Senator himself-who have had expe-
rience of that very class OF which are the
editors of the BuHctie, and who very un-
wisely turned from the recommendations of
these eminent colored men in 1872, and will
do it again.

After all, neither the bad writer, the
weary compositor. nor the vindictive proof
reader is always to blame for newspaper
errors. There is an evil spirit who presides
at every printers case and whispers in his
ear the word that reverses the meaning of a
sentence and makes it say precisely the
opposite of what was intended. The most
intelligent compositor iqDthe wond could
not hit the words necessary to make the
piece of manuscript in type. 1t is easy
enough to mistake a word, but to always
light upon one that can take its place and
exactly reverse the meaning of the writer.
requires skill that is more than human.

explain this thing in any other way, let
