Horses Stolen.

NOISES SNOVcus
Yesterday couple of young men
from Oskaloosa drove pair of fine
horses to this city and heartlessly
hitched them on the vacant lot back
of where Grimes wagon shop once
stood. The horses stood there all
day yesterday, the marshal informs
us, without food or water, until some
time in the night when the horses and
buggy were stolen and driven of,
and have not been recovered. The
theft was not discovered until late at
night, and as the men seemed careless
about the matter, no active steps
have been taken to hunt them up.
The team, we are informed, belonged
to the Bashaw Livery Stable Com
pany of Oskaloosa, and were reckon
ed one OF the finest spans of horses in
the barn.

Death of q GOOD Man.

We regret to be called upon to announce
the death Of our very estimabIe fellow cit
izen, NJ. B. Ross. He died at his resi-
dence, on st. Charles street, on Friday
evening, at about seven o'clock, after an
illness Of about two weeks. He was taken
with yellow fever, which finally assumed
typhoid form.
Mr.. Ross, was native Of Ohio, about
70 years Of age. Many years ago, no con-
Quoted heavy and prosperous msrcan-
tile business in this city, which was
interrupted by the war and never resumed.
During this period, he returned to Ohio,
and resided at Portsmouth, until the end
of the war, when he came back to New
Orleans, only to find the city changed,
and the possibilities Of regaining his mer-
camille prosperity so far removed, that
they seemed to be practically closed. He
accepted the local agency Of the great
Erie Railroad, which position he occupied
at the time Of his death. His remains
were buried to-day, at II o'clock, in
Washington street cemetery, temporarily,
whence they viii eventually be removed
to Portsmouth He leaves wife and
daughter who have our sincere coincidence
in their great afliction.

Comments.

Comments.
PARIS, September 20.--The following is
the text OF a portion Of Gambetta's speech
at Romans Wednesday, against Ultramon-
tanism: " The clerical question, that is TO
say, the question Of relations between
church and state, keeps all other questions
in suspense here. In church it is that
spirit Of the past which takes refuge and
gathers the strength denounce. An ever
Increasing danger to society runs from
the Ultramontane spirit, the spirit Of the
Vatican, Of the syllabus, which is nothing
but abuse Of Ignorance with the purpose
of enslaving it. I have spoken Of the rela-
tions between church and state. 1 am
perfectly aware that to be correct should
have said, relations between the churches
and state but from Governmental point
of view it is INSTRUMENTATION which persists
in opposition to the state. The clerical
spirit endeavors to fiitrate into everything
into the army, into the magistraey-
there is this that is peculiar to it, It's
always when the fortunes of country is
falling, that Jesaitism rises.
Far be it from me to put shackles on
liberty. I am an obstinate partisan of lib
erty Of conscience. But the ministers of
religion have duties to the state, and what
we exact is the fulfllment Of those duties.
Apply the laws, and all the laws, and
abolish indulgenees. If the law is ap-
piled, order will be restored in France
without prosecutions which prevailed from
the aurora of the revolution in 1879 till
the last glimmer of revolution in 184S.
They were not abandoned till in December
the mitralleurs and those who blessed the
mitrailleurs combined. Privileges form
half power. These men. they live on
public credulity alone. Yes, every one
must be subject to common law; obliga-
tory service must be made reality; voca-
cations must only be allowed after the FIRST
Of all vocations, "that Of serving the faith
erland," has been fulfilled.
