Centennial Accommodations.

The railroads in different parts of
the country are beginning to arrange
Centennial excursion trains to Phila-
delphia. The plans and prices are
not completed, but the proposed
schedule fixes the rates at trife
above half the usual fare. Visitors
will then be enabled to go to and re-
turn from Philadelphia at little
more than the usual fare one way,
which will bring the excursion with
in the reach of the great bulk of our
people, and make a paying business
for the railroads. If the plans are
properly matured, there is no good
reason why at least 100000 of our
people shall not visit the Centennial
this summer. The great hotels in
Philadelphia offer accommodations
at from 81 to S. per day, but the
Centennial Agency has arranged with
several thousand boarding houses
where visitors can be accommodated
at $3.50 per day. exclusive of the
noon meal, which it is presumed will
be obtained on the grounds. These
houses are to be placed under the
supervision OF the inspectors, who
promise to see that everything is de.
cent and in order. So far as prices
are concerned the arrangement prom
Use to be all that can be reasonably
expected, and it is hoped they will
be SO in every other respect. -

Church Taxation.

Judge Wilson rendered a decision
at Delhi, last week, IN the somewhat
noted case of Hintrager against Bish-
op Hennessy, of Dubuque, for the
possession Of the property known as
the Bishops block in that city, III
favor of the Bishop. Hintrager bid
in the property-which is worth a
large sum OF money-at tax sale, in
1857. 1t not being redeemed at the
end of ten years, he obtained deed
Of it, and on this deed sued for pos
session. Judge Wilson held that
the deed was invalid, for the reason
that the assessment of 1857 was
not according to law, not having been
made by the assessor or equalization
board, but transcribed Oh The tax list
by the Deputy Clerk of the County
Court.
Another point relating to the as
sessment and taxation of property
belonging to church corpora.
tons has just been decided by
the Circuit Court of Scott county.
1t has not been the practice in Scott
county to assess sparsonages, and no
taxes have been paid on them. Last
year, however, by advice of the Coun-
ty Attorney, the assessor placed all
this kind Of property on his list. At
the proper time the trustees and
agents of the religious societies APP
pealed to the board of equalization to
have this property taken off the list.
This the board refused, and appeal
was made to the Circuit Court, which
sustained the board, stating that "the
Court finds that such is not exempt
from, but subject to taxation" APP
peal was taken to the Supreme Court
where the question of the taxation
of property belong to ecclesiastical
bodies, but not actually used for pur-
poses of public worship, will be dcfin-
iteiy settled.

The indianapolis Journal, which
is understood to reflect Senator Nor
tons opinions, says that public opin-
Ion favors the repeal of the Resump-
ton act, not as means of imitation,
but because the government cannot
possibly resume specie payments on
the LIST Of January, 1879, and it is
worse than idle to make the attempt
or persist in the promise. 1t says
that sensible men of both parties
favor the repeal of the Resumption
clause of the act and a bill authoriz-
ing free national banking and the
issue Of new four and a half per
centum bond into which greenbacks
may be funded. Such a bill it pre-
diets will be passed at the present ses-
sion of Congress.

HERE is every probability of a
serious deadlock between the Houses

mlttees. The Democratic House.

believing that such reductions will

ORDERS have been issued by the
Treasury Department to the custo-
dams of the Government buildings
throughout the country, post-ofices,
custom houses, court houses, and
other public buildings to cat off the
supply of gas, fuel, and water, for
the reason that the appropriation for
such purposes is exhausted.
The order compels the closing of
the post-offices in New York, Phila-
delphia, Chicago, and other cities, at
sHndown, thus causing much delay of
the mails and heavy loss and de-
rangement of business throughout
the country. The law forblds the
Secretary to use any other fund for
this purpose or to contract for future
payment after the appropriation is
exhausted. He is thus practically
powcrless to remedy the evil.
The subject has been brought to
the notice of Randall, the Chairman
of the House Appropriation Commit,
tee, with view of having the COM
mittee take immediate action, by the
introduction of joint resolution
making temporary appropriations for
lights and fuel, but Randall con-
.temptuously refuses to do anything
about it, saying that it belonged to
the head of the Treasury Department,
and that he should know what to do
about sthe matter. He thus shows
his willingness to put the public to
great damage and Inconvenience for
the purpose of embarrassing the Re-
publican Secretary Of the Treasury.
The public will know how to appre-
clate such miserable partisanship.

THE Independence BULLETIN cottons to
the Marshall Republicans nomination of
Gov. Kirkwood for President. - State
Register.
We do not exactly apprehend what
the Register intends to have under
stood by the terms cottons," but if
1t means that the BULLETIN adopts
Gov. Kirkwood as its preference for
the Presidency, it conveys wrong
impression. We think, as we said
before, that he has qualifications
superior to some of the aspirants for
that position, but we have never sup
posed that Gov. Klrkwood was really
in that category. If he was, we
should prefer that the delegates from
Iowa in the National Convention
should not be hampered by instruc-
tons or commitments of any sort.

The law passed by the last legisla-
ture authorizing the establishment Of
new court, to be called the Superior
Court, in cities of 5000 inhabitants
and upwards, was, as it seems, labor
lost, as no city is inclined to take
advantage of it. 1t was deemed of
so little Importance in Dubuque that
it was not submitted to the electors,
and in Davenport, when it was sub
mitted last week, scarcely anybody
voted for it. 1t is pity that the
time spent in discussing this measure
could not have been employed in en-
acting laws that the people do want.

REFERRING to the mention Of Gen
Sherman's name in connection with
the Presidency, the Waterloo Re
porter thinks that, although Sherman
is a good general and pretty good
man, we ought to have rest on mil
itary Presidents. We are Of the
same opinion. The claims of soldiers
in that direction have been pretty
well recognized, and the country will
be just as we'll suited and as excel
lently governed if wise and skilled
craftsmanship succeed to the helm of
affairs. And, much to his credit,
Gen. Sherman has the good sense to
see, and the candor to confess, that
this is so. He positively declines to
be dazzled by the Presidential bauble.

have the nominations rejected! The
President has no alternative but to
submit. The Senate stands combin-
ed in solid phalanx for the preserva-
ton Of the common usurpation.
The Constitution is violated: the civil
service vitiated; men take office from
the Congressman they have made by
fair or foul means, and they take the
office for what money they can make
out of it, honestly and dishonesty.
One great consideration in favor Of
the elective system is, that, in case a

tative who is unfit for the office, a
change may be made at the next
election; but this is defeated by this
unsurpation, which enables these

outrage,-corrupting the civil service

gressional membership to the level

The witness in question may be pagan,
