THE MARRIED PRIEST.
Rev. HOmann Looking for His
Wife.

Wl1es
Rev. August Homann, formerly pastor
of the "Church of the AtOnement," it
Will be remembered, left the city sud
denly some time ago under suspicious
circumstances. 1t was afterward as
certained that Homann eloped with Il
young girl, Maggie Callinan, a dress
maker, at that Time residing on Smln
street. They were married on the Iol-
lowing day. The couple went to Chlca-
so, where Homann endeaVored to get
charge of an Episcopal Church.
The relatives OF young Maggie had
communicated with the couple, and the
result was an arrangement TO separate.
Maggie was to el,er cloister and
Homann some Catholic reform lnstitu-
ton. Thereupon Maggie came back,
and for the time being took lodging with
her parents on Flltn street, Covington, ,
KY.
Homann went to Latrobe, Pa, to re-
form lnstitation, about forty miles from
Pittsburg. Alter a few days he left,
saying that the place WAS an institution
or inebriates. He proceeded to the
house of his wile's sister, Mrs. Roberts,
No. 4G9 Baymiller street.
On sunday afternoon he went to Gov
ingtun 10 see his wife Maggie. Her
brother Invited him to a. promenade and
on their return Homann found that
Maggie was gone. He leturned to his
mp lher-in-law's place on the following
day and sought an ln,erview with his
wife, but was told that she had gone
and had positively stated that she wou Id
have nothing further TO do with MIN.
Homapn said they had spirited her
away, and yesterday engaged attor-
neys and threatened ner relatives with
legal prosecution ii they did not return
his wife to him.

The Improvement Bond Law.

The following is the drdught OF letter
sent to Hon. Gabriel DIR by Colonel
A Anderson, Chief Engineer, yesterday:
am informed that an act has passed
the State Senate which, in effect, re-

Bond Law. e., the act enabling cities
Of the first class to pay for improve
ments in yearly installments, and to
issue bonds for the same, which shall be

The Committee advised in favor Of a
change. One of the reasons urged was
that "Lhe history, the reader, and the
geography are read at home by the elder
members of the family, and are con-
stant source OF instruction and culture
in the community" The family circle
in which the textbooks beguile the
lopely winter evenings must be, indeed,
an inspiring group. Almost as queer an
argument is the one that the teacher
longs for new Textbook merely for the

he law Of commence which max trans
portatiop an incident Of commercial
finance. We have not applied this theory
70 the foreign import and export trade,
yet it operates precisely on the same prin-
ciple. The West sends and receives over
those Eastern ports which offer certain
facilities of through transportation and
delivery in European ports, and make
this the basis of their exchanges. Chi
cago now consigns grain direct to Liver
pool on time, and takes no note of the
transfer at the out port. New York has
always stock grain and ships so that there
can be no flaw in delivery by that route,
while Philadelphia and Baltimore have
been compelled to supply similar facilities.
Capital is, therefore, king, and com
merce is compelled to do it's bidding with
out regard to expense or conveniences,
New Orleans will be compelled to COM
ply with the stern behest of capital, and
furnish all the facilities of transportation
and transfers which the true laws of trade
demand.

cent be- advised in a city whose imports
are Increasing, we may anticipate that
the recommendation will be applied to
ports where the receipts are declining.
Not only, then, will the number of APP
pointments be reduced at this port, but
they will be of the most select character.
Every indication points to the choice of en-
ployes upon their own qualifications. The
New York commission says that they
found "the ineumbents of Office are ap-
pointed generally at the request of politi-
clans and political associations in this
and other States" Should any rely upon
such alien credentials we infer that their
pretensions will be strictly scrutinized.
1t is also to be observed that the Presi-
dent has, in his inaugural and in the letter
to which we have referred, expressly re-
pudiated the nomination by ''partissns''
and politicians. He has also repudiated
any right on the part of a Congressman
to participate in executive patronage.
Such are the instructions to the collector
of this and other ports, and We infer they
must be strictly observed. II, then, there
be any applicants relying upon the power
of politician in this or any other State
to give them place; if there should be
any slate made up by any political leaders,
dividing and assigning those salaries as
the spoils of their victory, wewould remind
such applicants that they may have taken
tickets on the wrong train. These in
structions shatter all such states; they re-
pudiate all such tickets. Applicants had
better brush up their arithmetic, revise
their bookkeeping, or pore over the reve-
nue. laws so that they may stand an ex-
animation, than to rely upon the pass to
Office of any partisan leader whatever.
Every applicant must be true Repub-
ican, but he must also be a good clerk,
competent inspector, or an honest
Waterman.
No one can now dictate to collector
whom he shall appoint. The customhouses
are delivered to the collector with ex-
elusive authority and responsibility for
the character of his subordinates. We
are inclined to think that new era has
arrived, and that a revenue system 30 or
ganized will be far more popular with the
merchants than if the President should
have ordered the number of customhouse
loafers and thieves at New York to be
doubled, and their salaries to have been
increased in similar proportion. 1t must
not be forgotten that all these abuses were
of Democratic origin, and that the Re-
publican President is now endeavoring in
good faith to reform them. Let Us not
only hope for his success, but extend to
him all the aid in our power.

sumo, stock the Customhouse with the
most competent Republicans that he can

cate manner possible that the committee
which complains of non-access to the

ton as satisfactory. The dilemma at the
Customhouse and City Hall has been the
same. The miracle of the loaves and
fishes would be again necessary to satisfy
the disproportionate ratio between de-
mand and. supply. The committee has,
in ouLopinion, made an error in putting
the appointment to Office on a color basis.
1t would be incompatible with the presi-
Dental instructions to violate the rules

pointed because he is competent, not be-
cause he may be colored man. We

unwise to meet the White Leaguers on

to draw the color line. The Conserva-
tiVes have succeeded as against the Dem
ocrats in recognizing the equal rights of
all without regard to color, and we
should not deem it wise to admit any
other basis of selection than that which
the constitution has made and its former
opponents have accepted. The unqual-
fled remonstrance of the colored COM
mittee against comforting Federal appoint
ments on any except the permanent citi-
zens of the State meets our approval.
1t would indeed seem that the
Conservatives complain of this plague
of the political choppers. 1t has

five years residence in the city as a
qualification for police appointment. We

ENGLISH RECEPTION OF GENERAL
GRANT.

Whatever may have been the position
of citizen during the war, or whatever
may have been his political allegiance
since, there must be but few who can look
with anything but pride upon the recep-
tion of great American representative by
the nation from which we derive our Ian
guage and our traits. 1t is, indeed, only
when alone, stranger in foreign couh-
try, that one can look to the American
flag with full value of the respect and
protection which it affords. When we
turn from the bitter conflict Of party
which divide our people and almost hear
the shouts that greet the great American
captain in the land of Marlborough and
Wellington and Napier, conviction of
the magnitude of this nation in the eyes
of humanity and civilization breaks ire
sistibly upon us. 1t has been but few
months since violent partisans spoke of
this great American representative in the
most 5isparaging terms. Those who ma
ligned the late President for imputed
peculiarities, or who assaulted him for
faults of which he was incapable, must
stand astounded at the insignifcanee of
such efforts to disparage him. We even
note that the New York Tribune keeps up
/ its intimation that the President has no
renown save that which evaporates
from the blood he has she'd The manly
and modest manner in which Mr.. Grant
has received this extraordinary ovation is
a high tribute to the value of our national
citizenship. He stands in the simple
garb of an American gentleman, uncon-
scious of inequality, among those who are
covered with the insignia Of ancestral re-
nown or Of political station. He receives
the enthusiastic inequalities of the popu-
lar masses without condescension. No
better embodiment of that national char
acter which is above nothing that is
honest and below nothing that is grand.
As an expression of international senti-
ment the reception of General Grant is
gratifying to every American. As an in
dication that at the approaching time
when England, embarrassed in her com.
mercial and colonial policy, must turn
to this land of corn and of cotton, to this
people of Saxon speech and Protestant
principle, for an alliance which the des.
pots and diplomats of continental Eu.
rope can never afford, the qualification
of the American people at the good will
of Mother England may not be without itt
value. History tells of the venerable pareni
deriving sustenance in prison from the exu
berant bosom Of daughter, and nations
have sometimes been indebted to pros
porous colonial offshoots for flisl sym.
pathy in the temporary trials to which
the greatest nations are liable. The re
ception Of General Grant reflects equa
credit upon the nation which bestows tn,
honor and that which in its universal ap
proval accepts them.

Democratic leaders and organ have OPP
posed the public contribution to a work
which private subscription had failed to
accomplish. The landlord has said to
the tenant: 81 will not subscribe money
or pay tax to improve the value Of my
property, but if you choose to build q
railroad with your own money you may
do SO, and will raise your rent in pro-
portion as you increase the value of my
property"
Owing, we think, to this Democratic
use of the decline of New Orleans, the
people of New Orleans have been SO little
educated upon the true causes of stagna-
ton and diverted trade or as to the in
dispsnsable agency of railroads as a
means of restoring business, that the i'm
position of tax upon property and bust
ness was rejected even by those who had
neither property nor business, and the
city is left exposed to the destructive
competition we have stated, without the
pObS1UAS 4uCI6dSo VI lIS lIduS lEOuu any
other quarter to make up for that which
it has thus lost
1t must be either ignorance or delusion
which attributes the decline of New Or
leans to any other cause than the failure
to provide her citizens with the same ia
cilities of communication with produc-
ing region which have been provided by
her rivals. 1t is either ignorance or de-
fusion which assumes that city can sup
port a large and increasing population
upon the factorage of merchandise or
agricultural productions alone. Give to
New Orleans the Texas and Mexican rail-
road with access to the tropical all-year
trade and she will again advance in pros
perity. Add to her factorage the manu-
facture of commodities and new source
of subsistence would be added which
would relieve the necessities of her peo-
pie 1t may be very easy password to
Office to attribute the decline of our city
to Republican misgoVernment of the State,
but it will neither increase the value of
real estate nor reconcile unemployed
people to remain where the auctioneer
daily contradicts the fattering predictions
of the political prophet.
