SECTIONAL

The recent acrimonious debate in
Congress indicates that politics will be
unusually hot this year, and that the
approaching presidential campaign
will be conducted with more than
usual bitterness, for at the very begin
ming the strife has assumed a sectional
shape, accompanied with ill feeling
scarcely equaled in the debates just
preceding the breaking out of the re-
bellion. Everything that was done on
either side during the war will be
hunted up and discussed until a fever
is stirred in the whole blood of the ma
ton, and we opine that those who take
the trouble to carefully examine the
acts done during those eventfnl times
will experience no difficulty in finding
bad things enough on both sides,
which, being discussed, will set bad
blood to stirring between the sections
of the country. 1t seems that there
must still be a North and a South hos
tile to each other in these United
States. The Grass Valley Union, in an
article upon the subject, sums up the
matter as follows: cit would seem
that mere geography had more to do
with hostile sentiment between the
two sections than had the existence of
slavery. Slavery has been abolished
and will never ha restored; it has been
happily abolished, and in the fact of
its abolition all good men of the South
as we'll as of the North acqui-
esce and even rejoice. That bone
of contention, S o to speak, hav-
ing been removed, the geogra-
ply comes in now, and a quarrel is
kindled. Human nature is a curious
thing any how, and it manifests itself
curiously and ridiculously when petty
sectionalism comes up. A man can
hate and abuse another man because
that other man does not reside in the
same par. of a town that the first nan
honors with a habitation. John Doe
will hate Richard Roe simply because
Roe lives in another county, and Roe
returns, for the same reason, the hatred
of Doe. And so seciionalism spreads
and intensifies as it spreads. We do
not wonder much at national sectional
feelings, however much we regret the
existence OF the fact; bat we some
times wonder hat men of brains
enough to be elected to Congress
should be so narrow minded and
bound up by geographical lines. We
shall endeavor, as far as ourselves are
concerned, to keep cool in the coming
struggle, and to give reasons for our
advocacy or opposition CT or to any
question coming before the people,
without reference to township, county,
State, or North and South lines"

The discfedtable system of investigation
adopted by the Democratic party during this
year was never more aptly illustrated than in
the recent case of the Kittery Navy Yard A
subcommittee without notice. to any of the
parties interested makes buried visit to the
yard, examines witnesses behind closed doors
and returns to Washington, one at least of its
members sending back mysterious dispatches
full of vague suggestions of wickedness dis
covered and unearthed. But when the facts
do com out, they are found to be of as little
Importance to the government as the manner
OF getting al them was grossly unfair to the
persons whose pecuniary interests are con-
cerned. 1t appears that one G.. W. Griffiths
contracted to build the sloop of war Enter
prise. On account Of change of plans,
delays and extra work he claimed
$4,000 which, it is said, was allowed
him. 1t is said that this ought not to
have been allowed. Whether it ought
or not, one thing is certain = people
will not decide such matter on the
statement Of subcommittee of three which
sat with closed doors and did not dare to give
the contractor chance TO answer the charge.
The Democrats may think they can make
partisan capital by such performances as this,
but they are badly mistaken. The average
Democrat may be fool but the average citi-
zen is not. These vague and er pafte accu-
sations may temporarily beguie some of the
weaker ones, but they don't permanently
help the Democrats. The few weak Repub-
licans who are deluded into wavering by this
sort of thing-lke those who followed the
motley banner of Andrew Johnson-are sure
to come back, fer one dose of Democracy
goes great way as preventive ofmore.
The barren result ofthis much heraIded in
quisition is very gratifying as testimonial
to the general good management of the Navy
Yard and the general good conduct of the
numerous officials connected Herewith. 1t
is certain that if any delinquency, however
small, had existed, it would have been made
much of in justification of the fierce accusa-
tions and portentous prophecies which pre-
ceded the investigation.
It is but just to add that one member of
the committee-a Democrat too-frankly
admitted after the examination that they had
failed to find anything wrong.

MIsPRoNUNoIATIoN."- of Shakspeare's

Fifteen of US met at the creditors meeting to

was a Jolly, genial fellow, meant well. but had
sold TOO many goods below cost and to poor
customers hi list of debtors disclosed num-
ber that we all knew had been tabood from the
books of every prudent house in our line, and,
with Splurjit's long experience in the employ
of one of the best houses in the trade, we were
surprised at this evidence of foolishneSs. But

ENGLISH AND AMERICAN S1ANG.-Miss
Alcott has been so especially condemned in
England on this score that it almost becomes
necessary that her felow-ccuntrymen should
make her cause a matter for international
protest. For much of the criticism is based on
that extraordinary theory of our British cousins,
that it is they alone who are entitled, as Parson
Hugh saws, ITO make fritlers ot Eoglsh"
One would thiuk that 4 chIld huudred years

it is an endeavor to rouse the jealous inde-
pendence of the American father in repulse of
q purely illusory attack on his reserved
parental rights, to induce him to substitute
the rights of one party alone for the rights OF
three parties, to disregard the rights of the
child and defy the rights ofsociety. But
parents should see that the Church recognizes
no parental prerogative as towards it.
self. Any exercise of that prerogative which
withdraws Catholic children from parochial
schools to place them in the public schools is
visited with the severest penalties in the pow
er of the Church to infict. The Church
claims for the parent, so far as the State is
concerned, absolute and undivided authority
over his child; but, as the Divinely deputed
parent OF all Catholics, il claims for itself
absolute and undivided authority oyer both
parent and child. The Catholic conscience

parents, but the organic conscience of the
the Church of Rome. 1t is the conscience
OF the priests, the bishops, and the Pope, us-
ing the consciences Of the laity as mere
pawns in their desperate game with modern
civilization; and the battle here is between
the corporate, consolidated, ecclesiastical con-
science of the Roman Papacy on the one
hand, and on the other the multitudinous,
independent, and secular consciences of the
American Republic. The Church cares
nothing for parental rights except as an out.
er wall of defence against the Republics inst
claim to establish schools for the education OF
her own children.
Directly opposed to this Church theory is
the modern theory which recognizes the in
dividual, and not the family, as the true so
cial unit; the American theory that a free
State exists solely to guarantee and protect
the equal natural rights of all individuals. 1t
holds that every child has right to fair ed
ucation, and that as society has at least as
large stake in his future as has the parent,
it should be joint judge of that education.
The first great right of State is to exist and
to perpetuate its own existence, and in
State based on universal suffrage its right is
to establish for its own protection universal
education. From this arises the right to es-
tablish public schools as the necessary condi-
ton of this education. National education
is national duty, and all Taxpayers alike
receive the benefit of the sums expended for
that education,- it serves to maintain the
existence of the State which protects their in
dividual rights. If the State has the right to
tax all for any purpose it has the right to tax
them all for the public schools, which are the
indispensable condition of its own continued
existence. But it only has the right to teach
that upon which its citizens agree, and in a
country where children belong to different
sects, it cannot teach theology. That is left
to the Church the family and the individual.
Such is the outline of Mr.. Abbots argu-
ment which needs TO be read in full and in
connection with its evidence and its illustra-
tive passages, to be fully appreciated.

71ae new war secretary.


The House Military Committee have
reported in favor of transferring the
Pension and Indian offices to the War
Office, thus giving to the Secretary of
War an immense patronage, and OF
course an increased responsibility. 1t
Is therefore important to know who is
to be entrusted with this great response
bility. Dispatches inform us that the
Hon. AlOuzo TAFT has been nominated
BY the President, aud his nomination
confirmed by the Senate. Judge TAFT
is . judge in one ofthe courts in Cincin-
natl, Ohio. He took strong ground on
the vexed school question in the late
oleCticn for governor against the Casho-
-aics' effort TO break up the common
schools. He was one of the candidates
for governor Of the State, and withdrew
in favor Of the excellent Coy. Hayes,
the present. incumbent of that Office.
Judge TAFT has good reputation, and
IL Is 70 be hoped that he will make a
thorough and complete oyerhauIing of
all connected with the Office, sumnarily
dismissing all who have had any hand
whatever in the late roecalities.

Portland is making great preparations
for the coming centennial fourth of July.
The whole week is to be given up en-
tirely to festivity. There are to be
prizes awarded for target shooting, pig
con shooting, boat racing, steam fire
engine tria's, etc. There are to be seven
large gold badges awarded, said badges
to be p by inches in size, and they
are thus described
The boat race medals consist of
large gold shield, suspended to cross
bar or plate, 10 which the pin for hold
ing the medal is fastened. Between the
shield and the plate, two oars crossed
from the connecting links. The shield
contains view OF part of the Willamette
river, including part of Ross Island,
with Mt. Hood, beautifully engraved
IN the background. There are three of
these medals, and each will show the
kind of boats rowed, in the engraving
of the river scene.
The rifle and pigeon-shooting medals
are very similar to the above, and each
contains an appropriate scene engraved
on the shield, the former target prac.
ticing and the latter pigeon-shooting
scene.
The steam engine badges contain
beautiful engravings of steamers-the
one an Amoskeag and the other a Sis
by make. In these the shield and cross
piece are connected by two hose pipes,
and below the engines, on the shield,
are fire hat and two trumpets.
The base ball medals are the smaller.
but similar in design. and are very ap-
propriate. Each member of the trium-
phant nine will receive one.
These medals will be made of solid
gold, and will cost about $50 each for
the large ones, and nearly $50 piece
for the smaller ones. The engraving
Is surmounted by the word 'tt entennial'
in black enamel square letters, and has
''1776-1S76" underneath it.
