THAT STATE ROAD.

Our readers may remember that by an
Act of the Legislature passed in 1868 State
road was authorized ID be laid out in tn c
counties of Columbia and Luzerne, com.
mencing in Briarcreek Township. The
portion lying in this County was promptly
opened and paid for, but there was extra
ordinary delay in completing it. When
finished, however, the Treasurer of Luzerne
refused to pay that County's proportion OF
the expense. On hearing before Judge
Handley mandamus has been granted,
the Treasurer to pay the
amount due.

One of the happiest Centennial thoughts
is that of the Irish Catholic societies which
have determined to make no parade upon
st. Patrick's day, reserying their celebration
for the Fourth Of July, 1t is especially
fitting that in the coming year all differences
of nationality should be forgotten in the re-
joicings of a united people, and the members
of these societies have done we'll in giving
this evidence of their patriotic feeling. ID

ITO the Editors Of the COLUMBIAN

Perhaps the following, which I clip from
religious paper of large circulation, may be
pleasant reading for your neighbors of the
REPUBLICAN, and may convey to them hint
that, if the next Presidential election is to he
conducted on sectarian principles, blows
may be aimed at more than one religious Or
ganizatiOn in this country. True religion
has nothing to gain by any alliance with
party politics.
Sol THINK.
CHURCH AND STATE.
We find the following ominous paragraph
in leading political exchange:
'METHoDIsrs AND THE THIRD TEpM.
"Boston, Dec 6.-At large meeting to.
day of the Methodist Episcopal Sabbath
School Union and of the Tract Society, and
also the weekly meeting of preachers. com
prising nearly two hundred ministers, Bisb-
op Haven urged as measure of relief for the
public, the denomination Of General Grant
for President. His views were ad opted by
unanimous vote"
Itmay not just clear to every one how
very appropriate it was for meeting of
perhaps, over two hundred Methodist Gle, gy-
men and other feadlng members, ostensibly
assembled in Sunday-school and Tract So
ciety Union, to be voting who should ne
nominated for the next President of these
United States. The fact that il is we'll
known that General Grants family are
members of that church, and that his own
sympathies are in that direction, together
with the Oft repeated charges made against
him for partially toward Rev Newman and
other M. +. clergymen, does aot lessen our
surprise at the assumption and most untime-
ly action of this ecclesiastical body, Have
they forgotten the effect of the Newman Lot
ter upon Mr.. Harlan, OF Iowa, a few wears
agoY General Grant may well pray to be
delivered from his religious friends ii this IL
the way they propose TO help him.
Personally, the fact that u man is a mem
ber of the Methodist church would certainly
be no bar TO our political support. But when
ever any one church in this country, whether
Catholic, Methodist, or any other, assumes
to dictate, it is high time they were invited
by the franchise Of the American freemen.
to back seats. Bishop Haven's resolution
will by no means he; accepted as measure
of relief for the pubic H
We have always found much in Pres Grant
to admire, and have twice given him our vote.
But we now have at least three reasons why
we do not desire to give him third vote.
First and most important, we are opposed
to any mans occupying the Presid ential
chair for third term. Second, we want a
President 10 spend more time at Washin gtsn
in the discharge of his Official duties, and
less at Long Branch in sporting with fast
horses, etc, than the present incumbent has
done. Third, we are of the opinion that in
the distributing of official fayors be has kept
