MORE TROUBLE IN BROOKLYN,

An extraordinary suit has been brought
against st. Peters Catholic Church, in
Brooklyn, by Ann Maliey, one OF the men,
bers of the church, who wants ten thousand
dollars for her broken leg. In her COM
plant she states that it is her duty 10 go TO
church every Sunday, and that in the per-
iOrmance Of that duty she went, on Janu-
ary Sunday in 1871, and found TO her great
disadvantage that the church authorities
had neglected TO shovel the ice and snow
from the pavement. Ey reason Of their
negligence she fell and broke her bones.
After stay of several months in the hospi-
tai she was discharged rs On incurable case,
and she now drags out painful existence,
unable to do bodily labor. The church
folks declare that Mrs. Malley should have
been more careful than she was in picking
her way, and that it was only by Cooper
alive negligence" that she slipped and frac-
tured her bones. The case is an unusual
one, Involving much that is of Importance
to church corporations, and especially to
sections. The trial will probably be a lively

AGAINST REDUCTION.

The Chicago Tribune sees wholesome
prospect that one Of the pet Democratic
measures in the lower House OF Consfess-
that for the reduction Of the army-will be
defeated. The Tribune says:
While the Northern Democrats, with the
labor-riots OF last year fresh in their mind,
can see no reason for maintaining at its full
strength the only element of safety that was
then effective in staying the destruction of
property and in restoring the supremacy of
law and order; the Texas Democrats, who
have 10 deal with the Mexican Communists
who occasionally come over the border with
a view to carrying into effect their ideas reia-
tive to an equal distribution of cattle, have
always'with them a wholesome sense OF what
Federal troops are good for, and it is under
stood that the delegation will vote solid with
the Republicans against the reduction III
this is true the defeat of the bill in the House
is a certainty, and the country at large Will be
greatly relieved when the mischieyous meas
ure has been voted down.

PCRLyC BUILDINGS.

a special to the Chicago Tribune, which
We copy elsewhere, gives the particulars OF
q bill soon TO he reported in Congress, from
the committee, making appropriations for
completing all the public buildings now in
course OF construction and for the erection
CT certain new buildings at various points.
In the latter class, it will be seen that fo-
some aasoD the appropriations formerly
proposed for Kansas City and Topeka are
left out, while the representative from this
district has secured the insertion OF an item
Of hundred and fifty thousand dollars, Tor

WHO ~ REspONsIBLE,

Speaking of the appointment oil r. l..
Baker as Commissioner 10 Paris, the I'm
poria Netrs says:
We do not know what agency SIR. clay
had in the matter, but we know mat had IL
not been fox the endorsements OF the press oil
the Stale. on the honorary" business Old
Baker would not have been appointed They
are 20 blame a good deal more than ME- Dray
or any one else and We will not attempt 10
throw our share of the blame for the humilia-
ton of old Bakers appointment, on any
other person. OF course there was Trick
which the editors did not see, when, IN an
swer TO his letter To them requestipga pun on
his "honorary' appoin trhenf, they endorsed
him. IL was a cunning thing in the old coon
TO thus fool his editorial berthren' bul lhey
must "grin and bear IL"
Referring to the above, the Manhattan
Ndticnoiist says:
The endorsements referred 70 undoubtedly
had some effect, for many of the papers
spread on their Communications very thick
speaking of IL as "a compliment 10 the
press etc Those who received the Letters
referred to must have been unusually blind
or they would have smelt a mice-at least II
seems to Us that we should have done so had
one been received al this Office AS IL was
we thought then-and think now-that Ba
ker's selection as an honorary commissioner
was q good one. But We are equally aware
that Geo. A. Crawford should have been ap
pointed regular commissioner.

The leading Cathoaic-lrish paper IN the
} United States-the Bssten Plot-opposes in
most emphatic terms, the idea OF Fenian
raid on Canada, and says:
The invasion of Canada would not help 70
Iibcraic Ireland, but would destroy sympa-
thy with the cause of 4rish liberty, would
ALLEVIATE the good wlll oSthe Americans, and
would make necessary the neutrality inter
ference of the Uuited States Government.
II would make all Canada a new and power
fUl en-ny ofIreland and the Irish. 1t would
provc-O ali the world that the Irish Teyolu-
tlonists are thoaghtless and reckless crowd,
unable TO steera sensible course and Gnwor-
thy of rs. nation.
The Riot thinks, if there be money in the
Fenian Treasury, it should be used direct
ly for the benefit OF IrelHd, and not squan-
dered on foreign fitsSustering expeditions.
Ii the Fenians were to capture all Canada,
they would find themselves at war, not
with England, but with the United States.

GEORGE T-S OPINION OF THE
nrGSUy eEI sHOE

We give below = few extracts taken from
a speech delivered before al agricultural
association in New York, in 1862, by
George 7. Anthony, now Governor Of the
State OF Kansas. The extracts are taken
from the Medina, Orleans county, y. y,
TriJune, of April Il, 1862, a copy OF which
is Cow in our possession. We give these
extracts Tor the purpose Of showing the Ia
1,lers Of Kansas what was thought OF them
at that time by our present Governor, and
as he never change, CT course he entertains
the same opinions still. The speech from
which these extracts are taken, raised such
a connection among the farmers of Orleans
county, that George was requested to re-
sign the position he held As Secretary al the
society:
~ look upon the di entity OF labor as
mvth-a humbug-the arguments by
which it is sustained, sophistry, and the
theory, if reduced to practice as basis OF
education, a sad mistake, entailing bad re
suits upon our children"
"Man holds no higher relation TO the re-
suits OF labor than the OK Kit gives neither
Of them character, but subdues and de-
presses both"
Work is the implacab!e enemy OF prog
ress everywhere Let me enIreat you
NEVER saw to your children, be industrious
If you would be good, and labor II you
would become great"
aNo vocation tends so strongly to depress
the spirits, clip the wings OF fancy, and
pluck all the nice feathers Of ideality as
farming"
.The farmer is truly laboring man, and
does little else than work. His eating and
sleeping are cut down TO the lowest mini
mum required to keep him in working trim
He scarcely finds blink OF leisure through
his waking hours,-toil, cold and PURPOSE
LESS Toll, has sealed up every avenue TO
his soul. He is incased in a crust u sell
fshness that neither truth nor justice can
penetrate, or love and mercy melt. He is a
base slave 10 earth and worthy Of his bond
are"

A Dead Hor.e Dome Kun Well.


Wh,n We read some of our exchanges We
are reminded that a dead horse don't run
well. Geo. T. Anthony ran behind his tick
ct when elected two years ago, and there is
scarcely any part OF the Stale in which his
strength is now a. great as it was then.
When a Governor undertakes TO run a State
for his own aggrandizement, the people, as
well as the politicians, s-e apt to iind it out.
But it is intimated that the Governor
wants to make as good showing Of
strength as possible and then sell on, to
some man who can win ior the considera-
ton of assistance to the United States Sepa-
torship. Governor George I. is, or ought
to be, dead for either of these places, and
people ought to see to it that representa-
tives are sent who cannot be traded of in
the senatorial contest. The time is very
soon coming when the man who in any
pablo position serves other interests than
those OF the people, will be dead as soon as
his sin has found him out.

ANorITEs RAILROAD WAR.

The -ineTioq& Erchange-the new fnan-
cial daily, Of New Yosk-anticipates an
other railroad war at no distant day, and
thinks there is no way to prevent endless
war, and cutting Of rates, except general
REIMBURSEMENT % values, upSn a new basis
The EIchSngc says:
All the indications point to an carly rail-
road war. in fact there has been nothing
else than a hollow truce between the trunk
line roads since the new yeaf. ON the COM
paTatively unimpOrtant west bound business,
there seemingly has been an adherance
Ia the provisions of the apportionment
schemes. But this scheme is only.applicable
10 the bt .neSS from New York, and has been
maintained at the expenseSbf permitting
discrimination in favor OF Philadelphia and
Baltimore.
But turning te,the West there has been.an
almost uninterrupted cutting OF rates on east
bound business during the ehole winter, so
that the rates on this class OF business, from
january 10 April, probably averaged lower
than for any previous three months in the
history of railroading.
West OF Chicago there is raging the ficrcest
fight for the Kansas business that ever was
known in that pax, of the country. and rates.

The number of business failures is on the

the shaky firms have taken advantage OF
the bankrupt daw, and that the business
world may soon be relieved OF the uncer-
tainty that has prevented restoration Of
confidence and q return of prosperity.

PROBABLY THE REASON.

The Kansas City Times gives very plaus-
ible reason as to the Jour2afs apparept
apathy. We knew that the Jo'ds1dPs Office
was a veritable barn, but We had not
thought chat its location had anything to
do with its depression. We regret that
some measures are no, taken TO give the
Republican party live paper in Kansas
City. The Tut.s says:

PEACE CONDITIONS.

WithoaG processing to know the Trecise
terms OF the proposals Count Sehouvalofi
has received from the British tiovegnment,
the organ Of the st. Petersburg cabinet says
they must contemplate either the dismem-
berment of the Ottorssn Empire, or Eu-
ropean combination assuring its existence
while guaranteeing the self-ssOvernmeni oil
the Christian psovinoef, subject to tribute
to the Porte. One of these solutions is inc
vitable, the pnper contends-the obvious
inference being that if England resists the
autonomy OF tie Christias provinces, Russia
will fight untsi Turkey is destroyed.

THE GUILTY PARTY.

Referring 10 the fact that the Governors
organ is trying to create the impression
that he is not responsible for sending Ba-
ker to Paris the Manhattan Nationalist
says the question is whether he recon-
mended him, and adds:
II he did recommend ii he was an accessory
before the act, and should be judged accord
insly, but II he did not, the presumption is
he is blameless. The people are not asking
now who had the most influence, but who
exerted what they had.

RAIL, AND WATER.

For several week there have been indica-
tons that the railroad running between
New York and Chicago intended to enter
into competition with the water routes for
the carrying OF the east-bouLd freight.
These indications now seem 10 he verified
by the reports from Chicago, that the rail
rates on grain are down to Hob cents per
100 pounds from that city to New York.

QUESTION ANSWERED..

The following paragraph appeared l W
days ago in the topeka Commonwealth:
We live 10 gain information, and We would
ike TO ask which one of the State Offices
Gov. Anthony has .usurped?" What state
officer has yielded up any Of hi rights or
privileges II strikes us that this talk about
Gov. Anthony running the State" Is rather
uucomplimentary To the other officers. 1t
seems hard that, in order to make a point on
the Governor, it should be necessary to charge
all the other State officers with idiocy.
The St. Joseph Herald of Sunday morn
ing copies the foregoing item, and an
swers the Communicable questions as fol-
lows:
The other officers have not ab6icated, but
they have been constantly and Extensively
ANNOYED by the Interference OF the Cover
nor in affairs which do not concern him
and are none of his business. He objected
TO an alarm on the door of the Treasurer;
he will not have voucher made for him
unless the word 'Governor" is put ON TO
follow his august name. He objected re-
Gently TO having any warrants issued on
SATURDAY. when the month ended on Sun

again next month. The fiscal year
ends on Sunday, and unless warrants
are issued on Saturday they
cannot be issued at all. But he would
keep every creditor in Topeka out Of his
money to satisfy his silly and tyrannical
W him. He attempts to dictate what shall
90 into official reports, and when they shall
be printed. He has repeatedly visited the
State Printing Office and had the documents
of other people changed after they were put
in type for the sake of inserting or adding
George I. Anthony, Governor" His in:
decent opportunities have been extended
to the Judges OF the Supreme Court. He
had bitter controversy with the Secretary
OF State, but Cavanaugh would not budge
an inch for the meddlesome Boss. This is
the way of the great War Governor. Were
vote taken in the State Mouse between
the Boss and John A. Martin, the Boss
would MT get vote. They are annoyed
to death by his impertinent officiousnes:
and will make the old building ring with
their enthusiastic applause when the Con-
vention gives the Boss his walking papers
