Hunterdon County, N. j., July 16, 1878.
We noticed in THE RECORD of last week
an article written expressly for the taxpayers
of Hunterdon and Mercer counties to look
over. Said article, no doubt, was meant to
squelch the building committee of the Stony
Brook bridge but, so far as heard from, no
deaths have yet occurred and the danger of a
bad job of masonry is now out of the ques-
ton. We do not wish to throw out any un-
necessary iusinuations bnt we believe Mr..
Silly told the committee that his firm had new
er built any abutments or done any work of
the kind. He said, however, that one of the
party had worked little at masonry, but did
not say whether operative or speculative,
hence, it would have been, terrible strain
upon mans jaws to have opened his mouth
very wide even tlt;e nave tess' a near neigh
bor The contract , On lst good hands and
at price far below the average of bids Offer
ed. 1t is seldom that goods marked the low
est are found to be the cheapest; any way,you
pay your money and take your choice. The
idea of opening and closing the polls for pro-
posals precisely at 2oclock is too ridiculous
to talk about.
Now this same awful committee, we under
stand, will meet at Lambertville Capt. Birds
Hotel on the 23d inst. to received proposals
for the iron bridge above mentioned and if ex-
perience, implements and machinery are un-
necessary to build the abutments for an iron
bridge of 140 feet span, then we think the
bridge work might be made at any ordinary
stone quarry Or common blacksmith shop.
Now, in conclusion, we have never in the
last half century saw name hitched to a
newspaper item moro appropriate or more
eternally fitting, than the one which accom-
panied the facts for>the Taxpayers of Hunter
don and Mercer Counties to look over.
HUNTERDoN COUNTY.
The Lambertville record. [volume] (Lambertville, N.J.) 1872-1968, 1878-07-17

The Essex Co. Press, the organ of the
Greenbackers Of this State, contains the fol-
lowing items concerning Greenback move
ments in this county. We give them the ben
eft of our. circulation e.ss-S g
Lambertyille has become warm in the Green
back cause, and is daily getting hotter. Many
of the best men have denounced the old par
ties as rotten and corrupt, and win hold them
to an account of our depressions and disasters
and for the desperate state of affairs that has
befallen our once great and glorious country.
This beautiful little city Of three wards, with
about ZOO voters, is good for handsome
Greenback majority, and is still gaining Dr.
George II. Larson, who has for sixteen con-
secutive years been elected and reelected town
and city superintendent of public schools, and
six years of this time served as member of
the Common Council which position he still
holds also city surveyor, is an out and out
Greenback man, without fear or favor. He
recently spoke before the First ward club in
Trenton, and will speak again at the mass
meeting near Sidney in Hunterdon county, on
the Goth inst, with j. A. Beecher, Editor Of
the Press.
V. r. Mathews, President Of the Club, has
just been elected City Receiver of Taxes, and
given his bonds for $4,000. So you see the
City Council is not afraid to trust Greenback-
ers. Mr., Wilson Bray, who was the inventor
of the celebrated Bray Refrigerator, is also
down on the Greenback list in Lambertvile.
WEST AMwELL.-This township has many
prominent Greenbackers, and still more are
falling into the ranks. Like Lambertville it
will go Greenback this Fall.
DELAwARE.-This old Democratic strong
hold begins to wabble. 1t gave Tilden 300
majority. and has not forgot how the people
were sold out by Democratic Electoral Com
mission, who gave the eight spot to the Re-
publicans. They now propose the eight spot
to be rendered to the Greenbackers, who are
the only hope of deiyerance from the tyrants
made up of Democratic and Republican lead
ers, who have destroyed the peoples money
and ruined every thing but the bond business.

Is 1T not worth iuquiring whether the
street markets 10 Wilmington are not a
positive injury to the city. From COM
parison of prices made by us between VIII
mington, Philadelphia and New York, we
are we'll assured that provisions, meat,
vegetables, etc., are now higher in price
with US than in either of the cities named.
Looking at the case In another way we are
of the opinion street markets help no one
save the unlicensed sellers. The retail
profit, which is large, is all lost to our city.
The rent of stores, and outlay Of resident
store-keepe,s is another loss. Both aggre-
eating probably $100, 900 annually, and oul
people are not benefited by low prices.

STRIPPING FOR THE CONTEST.


Gambetts, the leader of the infdel wing
of the French Republicans, has opened the
iong-expected campaign against religion in
France. In his speech at Romans, he de-
clares that It is in the Church that the
spirit of the past takes refuge and gathers
strength. He inveighs against " the spirit
of the Vatican and of the Syllabus, which
is nothing but the abuse of ignorance, with
the purpose of enslaviDg." He calls for
the abolition af indulgences and privileges;
which form half the power Of these
priests, who live on public credulity alone"
He maintains that "young men who are
being educated for tie priesthood must
serve their time in the army, and that obli-
gatory service must be made reality with
out respect to vocations." Not only will
semina ry students be forced to 20 into camp
and learn to be soldiers, but priests will
have to leave their parish work and train
with the reserves. A body of fifty thousand
men employed in or training for the service
of the Catholic Church, five thousand be-
longing to the Protestant church and three
thousand to the Jews, will TINS be exposed
to the burdens of military service and to
the temptations of barrack life, not only in
time of war, but during years of peace
and prosperity. This seems to be the lead>
log feature of the Republican policy which
the leader Of the party has outlined. 1t
cannot fail to create discomfort In fifty
thousand parishes throughout France.
Look at the project by the light of ex-
perience when our Republic was taxed to
the full extent OF Its powers during the
civil war, no one thought of impressing tie
divinity student, or clergymen, and we are
of opinion that an impressmeDt of them as
determined upon by Gambetta, would have
produced spirited opposition and widespread
dissatisfaction.
1t is strange that Gambetta should enter
the lists against the Christian churches, as
he intends no favor to any at time when
Bismarck is coquetting with Rome, and
seeking an alliance with her, in his war
against communism. Bismarck has dis
covered that the martyr spirit has not died
out,-that fines and imprisonment avail but
little in such . contest. The Catholic
Church is more powerful to-day in Germany
than she was ten years ago, as Bismarck
hiss been compelled to acknowledge her as
q political power In the Empire. When
German imperialism" says the New Yorh
Tribune" has failed, French Republican
ism Is not likely to succeed"
The French laws are already strained II
the direction of ecclesiastical repression
The attempt to impose military servic,
upon the clergy and to undermine their in.
fuence In their parishes, will cast reproacf
upon liberal principles and Republican gov
crnment.
We fear that RepubHcanism in Franc,
will be wrecked In the contest the fanati
cism of her leaders are forcing her into.

THE uNHoLY WAR.

The English press has raised howl for
war with Afghanistan, and according to
reports from India troops are now in motion
to occupy the Bolsn and Kyber passes,
preparatory to an invasion of the territories
of Ameer. In the long list of unjust wars
wpged by England, this one Is the most
cauaeless and wicked. War, to be just, &C
cordina to all jurists, must be waged to
resent a wrong which the iDjurer refuses to
remedy, to defend against invasion or to
secure and protect some national right.
There is no prstencc that the Ameer has
injured to the amount of q cent either the
person, property or territory of the Empress
of India. The Ameer simply exercised the
right he undoubtedly had Of refusing to
receive an embassy from Lord Lytten, the
Governor. General Of India. For exercising
this national power his country is to be in
vaded, thousands of lives and millions of
dollars sacrificed. This by the saints OF
Exeter Hall, is called Christian statesman
ship Such war as the contemplated
one deserves disastrous defeat, and we trust
the "br4ve Pushtani lions," as in the days
of Dost Mahomed, will trail the flag of the
invader in ignomy through the streets OF
