no favor 10 the eyes Of President Hayes
is becoming more and more apparent-in.
deed with bu. few notable exceptions the par.
tieular friends Ct Gen. Grant find 20 favor in
apybodys sight. We have never seen it SO
stated, but it is positive fact, to our own know:
ledge, that influential members of the House Of
Representatives, who were opposed to rstify'
ing the decision OF the electoral commission,
were induced TO give their consent to that
enormi.y solely b. the fear that opposition to
it would give Gen. Grant the opportunity he
desired for retaining possession OF the govern
ucut. 10 their opinion 20 greater Injury could
befall the couor7 than proougalon OF Ger.
Grants term Of Office, and to prevent the posi-.
biIity of such dire contingency they tacitly
allowed the accomplishment of the lesser evil
the Inauguration of frsudulently elected
President. Bad ss was the precedent they
knew they we're assisting 10 establishing, they
we're convinced that, let Mr.. Hayes be as dan
gerous aud corrupt as he might be, be could
not be worse than Gen. Graot, and that aoy
change iu the presidency must necessarily be
for the better. These remarks were ioduced by
the fact that ". B. Moore, special agent of
the Treasury. who wasremovel yesterday, was
an especial friend Of General Grant, and the
General bsfore sailing for Europe, requested
Secretary Sherman to retain him in Office. but
when President Hayes was Informed OF
this request he replied that Moore bad been
represented to him as bad map, aud that he
should be removed.

The radicals are certainly peculiar people,

employ 90 other instruments 10 those occupa-

ing as little use Of brains as the ac:pholous ami
mails. 10 the same issue Of some Of their news
papers the federal government is urged to inhict
summary justice upon the parties implicated in
the Chisholm affair, aud to stop The proceedings
against the Louisiana returning board, aud the
Electoral Commission applauded fer its state
rights decision 10 the Louisiana case. How such
contrary sentiments can be reconciled With the
possession Of sound reasoning faculties We Can
DOT we'll understand The federal government
has as much right to prevent the punishment
Of the Louisiana forgers as to punish the muir
dcrers of Chisholm, but if it has, it certainly
had the lesser right Of inquiriug into the frauds
by which the people of State We're sWludIed

Catholic Schools.

CLEVELAND, July IA case in Which
Bishop Gilmour, the Catholic bishop Of this
diocese, sought to cpjoin the county treasurer
from collecting taxes on lands held by him 10
trust for the use Of the Catholic parochIal
schools, was decided 10 day. \ large number
of papal documents, DEGREES OF various coun-
cils the eucyccal letter If the Pope, &c., were
introduced by the defendant for the purpose Of
showing that the parochial schools were organ
lied and conducted for purposes hostile to free
institutions and opposed to the public policy
OF the State, aud were not, therefore, to C.
construed as coming within the exemption
clauses Of the statutes either as public schools
or institutions purely OF public charity, aud te
show that the Bishop holds The title to tue
property not as a trustee, but that he is abso
lute!y accountable only to the Pope OF Rome.
Judge Jones held that The establishment Of
these schools was not 10 any legal sense op.
posed to public policy unless they were taut-
cd with Illegally Of origin, purpose or
tendency or were in contraventon of public
morality; that the bishop was really the trustee
of the property for school purposes, and tina.
court OF equity could enforce the trust; that the
school property was not exempt as public school
property, but that being built and partially car
ried on by voluntary donations, and no income
arising therefrom they were exempt from taxa
ton as institutions purely Of public charity ard
under the same law as other sectsrisn colleges
and institutions of the State go far as general
taxation was concerned, but not exempt from
special assessments for sewers, paving, &c.

believed the statement. Sir Stafford
Northcote made a wretched defence, app
p%arently most unwillingly, Mr.. Hardy
was ouiy hot in praise Of Mr.. Pigott, and
Mr.. Bates affirmed that "every man must
have a beginning" The House grew
angry, q number of Conservatives left,
Sir Raioald KnightIey gravely condemned
the appointment, and everybody was
satisfied that a scandalous job had been
exposed and punished, and that Lord
Beacons6eId's prestige had received q
severe blow. It was for him q direct and
personal vote of censure.
There was no truth in the whole story.
Lord Beacons6eld on Thursday rose in
the Lords to explain, and the e%xplana-
ton was crushing. He had scarcely
known Mr.. Pigott, the Rector of
Hughenden, who left Bucks thirty
years ago. and whose only eIectioncer-
inc relation to the Member was 10
register his vote against him. AS to Dir.
Plgott, Junior, he had never formed his
acquaintance, did not know him by sight,
and had never received from him any
request for tie appointment. He had,
TO doubt, thrown over the recommends
ton Of tie Select Committee to appoint
a statiouer or printer, because be should
not have obtained 8 good man for the
money. but he had taken steps to reduces
expenditure in the Office and it had been
reduced by Mr. Lo@I4od Wjun, q Lord

lis bad asked several experienced pubic
servants 10 take Tie appointment, but
they had declined it, and lie had hen had
six names Of active j%utiors submitted to
him, fron among whom he had. by a pro.
cess Of exhaustion, chosen Mr.. Pigott.
He was nos ashamed Of lie nomination,
and til the House Of Commons otherwise
decided he Should not accept Mr. Pigott's
resignation, and so reduce hin to destj-
tuition without any fauIt OF his own.
There is no possible answer to a state
ment Of that kiad, 80 full, direct, and
conclusive, except disproot of The facts,
which is, cf course, out Of the question /;
and NJ. Pigotf, who is quite innocent III
the matter, must keep his appointment.
