We publish card from A1r. 8. ConH1ya

pcarod in The TRIBUNE yesterday concerning
him. We published tho statement because
It has been repeatedly mado during tho Inst
twolve years, aud supposed 1t was truo.
Air. Jupp, as long ago as 1864, enjoyed tho
distinction Of being tho hend Ia Illinois Of
tho Knights Of the Golden Circle, and the
revelations Of the character and design Of
the object Of that organization rendered the
raising of company Of cava'ry small
affair in comparison. In tho official report
Of tho Judge-Atlvocato-G General, Ho1T, "on
tho Order Of American Knights or Sons
Of Liberty,'a Western conspiracy In aid of
tho Southern Rebellion, mnde under date Of
Oct. 8, 1864, IL given the names Of tho OIL
eors, etc., Of the organization in several
States, and contains the following para-
grnph:
The drand Commander In Illinois ls - JuDp,

and designated also ~ member Of TAILAN-

by the ortlcr Of the Roman Catholic priest
nt Borgen Point, N. j., leo chtldrcn Of Irisl,
pareutago have been withdrawn from the
public school. A parochial school has been
established, and these children will attand It
at an extra cost to their parents, who, such
OF them as are taxpayers, hayo already been
taxed to support the public school. Cascs Of
this kind arc getting to be more and more
frequent Of late. and aa tho hostility
of tho Roman Church to the Ameri.
can commou-school syntem continues TO
be manifested in this manner from time to
time. tho necessity Of constitutional
amendment sin,ilar to that proposed by Mr.
BLAINE becomes clearly apparent. Ageneral
withdrawal Of Catholic children from the
schools means demand for division OF tho
achool-fuud, and tho course OF the Now Jes.
sey priest, although It may have been taken
upon his individual authority, ia in accord
with the general sentiment aud tendency Of
his Church.
