We have received a letter from Repre-

place, and the efforts which he has made
to secure all that we desired. He saws

tice. He did all that he could to secure
the appropriation of $4,000, and ex.
planned to the committee the importance
of the place and future prospects, &c
We are glad to know that Mr.. Bradley
did more than the report of his remarks
led us to believe. If we do not get over
$4,000, it was not because no effort was
made to. obtain it; and we are satisfied
that it was through no inattention of Mr.
Bradley, and that is considerable satisfac.

CHEBOYGAN, April z, 1876
Perhaps amongst the many items
of interest in our midst, the one
which attracts the most attention is the
'.fracas" between portion of the cOngre-
CATION of the Catholic church and their
pastor, the Rev. Father DeCeuninck.
Let the nature Of the charges preferred
against him be what they may, a redress
was proffered the agrieved portion of the
congregation, but from some cause or
another they did not avail themselves OF
the opportunity, thus showing little or
no inclination to have the matter invcsti-
gated, but on the contrary, deter.
minatiOn to drive their pastor from the
church and village. From the fact that
as the enquiry was not gone into they sent
apetition TO the Archbishop, auseless pro-
ceeding, as the the Rev. Father Del Ceun-
icnk had resigned prior to this.
On the evening of Friday last, he re-
paired to the church for the purpose of
taking therefrom his clerical robes. This
led some OF the party to think that he
was appropriating what was not his own.
whereupon some thirty men obstructed
the entrance to the church, at the same
time presenting revolver at him. threat
ening to blow his brains out, and de-
manding that he replace the property.
In self defense his reverence returned the
compliment, but, 1t seems, with no men,
acing threat, whereupOn two men seized
him, one with revolver, while another
snatched the revolver from him. Not
satisfied with this, charges were preferred
against him for carrying concealed
weapon, and warrant issued for his ar
rest. is
The Rev. Father DeCeuninck has la
bored as pastor thirty years in Michi-
gan, eight years Of which have been spent
here, and certainly as citizen has done
much good towards the progress of the
place, and as gentleman and pastor, and
never until now have charges been made
against him. Not only here has he gain
ed the good will Of the community, but
in many other places. A lie ter from
Governor CrapO to the Rev. DeCeuninck
on his departure from Flint, is sufficiel {
guarantee of the high opinion entertained
by that gentleman toward the latter,
who had been a resident there for four
teen years. 1t does seem strange that
thirty Years of labor as pastor should
have passed and meyer until now has a
charge been preferred against him. 1t
would seem as though malice was the
foundation Of this proceeding. 2%

Editor DemOcrat-The financial re-
port OF the City Council to April Is, 1876,
presents point should, as taxpayer,
like to see calculated.
Before the present Council went into
Office 1t was legally fixed that the sum
total OF indebtedness OF the city should
not exceed twenty-three millions Of dol
lars 23,000,0 O0). Now, in the report
before me | find it stated that on the
3lst OF December. 1874, the total bond
cd, certified and floating debt" was $24,-
TAI ,765, or 81, 741 ,7G5 more than Is legally
authorized. And we find that the total
bonded, certified and floating debt" OF
the city debt is now 1872, G9S, 43S. SO that
the present administration has, since
December 81, 1874, reduced the debt
so, 053,32
But supposing that the Council had
acknowledged the force OF the law,
which requites that the debt shall not
be more than 1913, 900 900, in paying up
since December 81, 1874, S2,053. 1927, the
actual debt Of the city, April Is, 1876,
would only be S20,946,G73, instead Of
1922. 6SS, 438, rs announced.
Will the Council please say:
l. Wherein they found, when they
went into office In 1874, the authority to
recognize a debt Of S2l, TAI ,765?
2. Did they not find a law positively
prohibiting any such thing
3. Where do they find the authority
to pay the excess over $23, 100000

An ACTIVE EMPEROR.

Dom Pedro evidently means business
the home 'of the brave" and Is deter
mined upon sightseeing, regardless Of
consequences. He went to bed at two
o'clock on Sunday morning, rs the New
York papers inform us, and rose that
same morning at Cd o'clock. At seven
he wa. on his way to Central Park. made
complete tour Of the Park, returned to
Fifth Avenue Hotel. where he took
breakfast at nine o'clock, drove to st.
Patrick's Cathedral at 10 80 with the
Empress and his suite. There he heard
High Mass and sermon, was congrat-
ulated by Vicar General Quinn, cx-
pressed his admiration of the Cathedral,
and made himself generally entertained
and agreeable.
He thereupon meandered to photo
grapher's, where he had his own picture
and that Of the Empress taken, which,
by-the-by, occupied two hours. 1t seems
1t takes that long for an Emperor to run
his face in n Photographic establish
ment. This hard matter settled, he re-
turned to the Central Park, visited the
Museum and Menagerie, had pleasant
word or SO to say to the sea lions and
beavers, inspected the Croton Water
Works, and, OF course, did not get back
to dinner before As p. m.
The New York reporters, who are
generally minute, do not say what he
had for dinner; in fact, they fail to state
whether he had any dinner at all, but
we take it for granted that he did
In theevening he attended Moody and
Sanky and took in some religion, with
which the reporters say he was highly
gratitied. With the aid OF the police he
managed, after the service, to get away
from the crowd who were anxious to OBJ
tain a square peep at a live Emperor.
and drove to the "newsboy's lodgings !"
where nothing happened OF particular
interest. The indefatigable emperor
then took in the Fourth Precinct Police
Station and the enginehouse on Will
liam street, where he dropped remark.
This done he was driven back 70 the
hotel, where it Is probable that he par
took Of some refreshments and subse-
quent rest
Now, whatever motives the Republican
may impute to Contamination, and how
ever awful it's consequences may be to
Grant and republican institutions, we
maintain that there can be no crooked
ness in such an early rising and active
emperor as Dom Pedro, and we
would not swear but what he would do
very well for the Great Unknown"

question OF the transfer Of the engine

duly over the fact that in tho DEMOCRAT,
over the heading of tho dispatch an
sr1ouncing that Grant had vetoed the
bill reducing the Presidents salary,
which cnn only take effect after the 4th
III March, 1877. was the caption Grant
vetoes the bill reducing his salary. F"

that every man connected with n daily
paper IL not expected to be acquainted
With the niceties of the Constitution,
and to Immediately recognize their
bearings upon bills passed by Congress.
Instead OF watching the head lines Of
the dispatches In the DEMOCRAT for
errors OF this sort, the Republican could
better serve its party by explaining why
Kellogg guaranteed $l25,0o0 Of fraudu-
lent Chattanooga bonds, and by proving
the decency Of Grants approval Of the
bill raising the presidential salary
from $25, 900 to $4,000 per annum, when

raise was for his benefit.
