a Remarkable Contrast.

Gen. Fremont and family ii is said
are reduced to real poverty. A CO.
temporary pertinently contrasts his
fate with that of Grant, and marvels
at the queer dispensations Of fortune
Fremont in early life had a brilliant
career as explorer and conqueror OF
California; it was said obtained vast
wealth there; and was elected to the
United States Senate from that State.
He afterwards ran ms the Republican
candidate for President in 1856, and
but for the diversion caused By Fill
more and his squad of Know Nothings,
would have been elected. During the
war, while in command of depart.
ment in Missouri, he led of with a
proclamation of emancipation, was in
fact tho original patentce Of Lincoln's
thunder. Up to this period scarcely
any public man stood more prominent
ly before the country.
On the other hand. Grant, during
most of this time was IN obscure,
drunken wood -hauler about St. Louis,
or tanner in Galena. Yet suddenly
starting in the ascendant, he became
the central figure in the late war,
reached two Presidential terms, ac-
quired immense wealth (by the most
dishonorable means however) and is
now making triumphal tour of the
Old World. 1t will hardly be argued
that Grant has greater abilities or
merits than Fremont; yet the one
goes up like a rocket while the other
other comes down like stick. How
shall we explain such freaks of for
tune? We know not, unless it be
that, as we suspect, Fremont was reck-
lessly extravagant, while the great
'gift-taker' was grasping, unscrupu-
lous and misery in the extreme.
Since writing the above we see it
stated that Fremont has been rendered
the position of Governor of Arizona,
out of regard to the first Republican
for the Presidency, and to
help him through his present dire ex-
tremity,

Special Announcements.

The following from the SAP Anton
10 Enpress, is in accordance with and
an application Of an announcement
of our own last week. and suits US so
well that We hereby adopt it.
ut seems necessary to rciterate the
statement of the position of the Er-
press in regard to the publication OF
political communications. All cores
ponicncc pertaining to political issues
proper, or those questions legitimate
for discussion in connection with the
coming election, will fluid q welcome to
a place ia our columns, but all letters
written in the interest of any candidate
will be regarded as private business
matters and will be be treated as such
We have received quite number OF
communications of this character, and
this explanation will account for their
non appearance in the paper. The E:c-
press is published in the interest of the
whole country and people, for in their
success depends the success Of its pub
fishers, and therefore it will not be de-
voted TO forwarding the interests OF
any candidates before a convention.
Let the people in the Democratic con.
vention declare their choice, and the
Ecpress will give its support to secure
the success of the nominees, unless, in
deed, man we believed totally in
competent should by unjust means Sc
cure nomination. We do not regard
. nomination by the party as the only
qualification necessary for a candidate
to have. In its editorial columns. the
Express reserves the right to express
its own views concerning candidates as
we'll as other matters, but will not de-
vote its columns to the furtherance of
The interests Of political aspirants be-
ore a convention. If they or
heir friends desire to use
our columns in that way, they can do
10 only in the form of communications,
Ind they will be charged by the line."

Hon. Gustav We Schleicher.

| AS animated IN our last, we 40 mo-
deem it proper, as a general rule, for
an editor holding party relations tc
take sides before nomination among
aspirants to office Of his own party
though Of course he has the right, and
under certain circumstances it may
become his duty, to do so. In what
we are about to say, however, we do
not intend n departure from our rule,
nor to tread upon anybody's toes, but
simply to make few points in justice
to the gentleman whose name heads
this article.
Mr.. Schleichcr, as is we'll known ,
owed his first nomination to Hays
county, his name having been suggest
cd to the convention by one of our del
egates, wbereupon he was at once ac-
cepted as the nominee. He was elect
ed, and has since been reelected with
out opposition. Now that it is pro-
posed to send another in his stead, it
becomes pertinent to inquire what he
has done that he should be set aside ?
Has Hays county any cause to regret
her action in nominating him, or any
cause of complaint against him as
representative We think not, and
would'appeal to the good sense and
sober second thought Of our people if
we are not correct. We think his dis
trlct has great reason not only
to be satisfied with, but proud of Mr..
Schleicher. 1t will not be denied that
he has been eminently faithful to the
interests of Western Texas, while he
has shown ability and developed a rep. |
utation Of which the whole State may |
we'll be proud. Although We believe
he newest member Of our Congress
'ional Delegation, we are not sure but
lie has already attained greater Ma
ional reputation than any other mem
yer of it.
His vote on the silver bill is the one
olitary objection that is openly urged
gainst him. We differed with him
here, yet it was a question which al
owed of fair and honest difference of
piuion, and in the absence ofauy in.
he was clearly warranted in
citing in accordance with his own
of duty. But granting
hat he was in error, surely a single
listake in a public service OF two
,rmS ought not TO be considered an
npardonable sin, hor do we believe
lr. Schleicher's constituents will so a,
,nsider it, but will by their votes ,
ward him the praise of well done, ,
pod and faithful servant" ,

WASHINGTON LETTER.
WASHINGTON, D. c., |
June 6, 1873. !

Congress has twelve days more il
which to complete and pass the APP
preparation bills, dispose of the vari,
GUS subsidy schemes and pass upon
many general and special subjects be-
fore it in various degrees of forward
ness. 1t is row evident that the Pa

tariff bill, anu the plan for improving
the Mississippi river will fail, but they
will most likely be left ia such shape
as not to prejudice their standing at
the next session. They will noe be
voted down.
There has been so much uncertainty
in the action of the House on the APP
preparation bills that prophecy as to
what will be done in the way of in
sisting on the economical ideas of that
body as against the extravagant ones
of the Senate is idle. On the various
bills the House can, if it chooses, save
the country many millions of dollars
without damage to any interest.
Mr.. Potter's Committee has had
Anderson, the New Orleans witness,
three days on the stand-one being ia

two by cross-eXamination. At least
two more days viii be required. The
substance of his statement is that the
Parish in which he was supervisor had
a perfectly peaceful election, and gave
a large Democratic majority. That af'

to give the State to Hayes, that the

undercurrent of his to show that to the sin

he should find a special train.
Again, the preacher observed Christian people are
too anxious about church denominations and church
forms. If man tries to turn from the evil of his
ways he is asked how he is going to be baptized.
These observations led to rafting fire of shot ana

THE IMMORTALITY OF cHRIsTIANITY-sERMo
ny REV DIR NEWMAN

The Rev. DIR. Newman preached to very large con.
gregaton on "The Immortality Of Christianity" He
took his text from Hebrews xiii. sJesus Christ tho
same yesterday. to-day and forever" II is not moro
certain that tho power of gravaton extends through
the visible universe, said he, than that through
all tmc all space and ranks of kings there is only
one Mediator between God and His creatures--Christ
is the Lamb, slain from the foundation Of the
world" Not the Christian world nor the Jewish, but
the foundation of the universe. We need not pause
to consider whether mediation is possible ncc-
essary In perfect government. II is enough to
sumo that mediation flows as a necessity out
of the proposition to create beings who
might sin In all essential elements His
moral government is the same throughout
all His domnons Obedience rs the test OF character
everywhere and everywhere IN the universe sin is
disoDedience. And where there is sin there must be
suffering. without the shedding of blood there is
remission. This covers the old inhdel objection
namely THAT IL God had but one Son He would not
give Him to die for the inhabitants of planet while
those of other planets might need saviour Also"
But there three assumptions IN this objection
that other planets inhabited that said inhabitants
are in a state of probation and that lo-
cation restricts tho merits OF the Rcdeemcr.
But grant that other worlds are inhabited.
