Mr. Froude's Religious War.
The New York Mail thus treats
the last sensation of Froude:

The New York Mail thus treats
the last sensation of Froude:
Mr.. Froude's article in the North
american on "Romanism and the
Irish Race in the United States,u
declaring that Professionalism is a
failure, and that before ROmanism
can become dominant in America
"the question will have to be
fought out with bullets instead of
balloting papers," will attract
much attention, if 1T does not pro.
duce any lasting influence. Mr.
Froude long since forfeited any
claim he may have had to accuracy
as a historian, and certainly the
article in question will not give
him any reputation as prophet.
A religious war need not be
feared. q
Mr.. Froude misunderstands the
principles which are the founda-
tion of the civilization of the Unit
ed States. He does not compre-
bend, as Lord Macaulay did not
when he made his gloomy forecast
of the future of our Republic, that
the problem of human progress is
to be solved on this continent by q
method wholly different from any
that has been tried in the old
world. The principle of liberty lie
so strong in the hearts of the peo-
pie of America, that no power,
whether Romanist or Protestant,
will ever be suffered to make re-
ligious party dominate our political
affairs. We believe in laws for
the maintenance of order, and
in their enforcement. We believe
that the laws of the land should
have sole reference to the protec-
tion of the rights Of its inhabitants,
and that every citizen should be
perfectly free to cherish whatever
religious creed he may choose.
Having good order, and according
full liberty of conscience, we trust
to the public schools to enlighten
the Inhabitants of the entire ma
tion. The power of popular educa'
tion to remedy the evils OF society,
and to amicably adjust the differ
ences which other nations settle by
war, is that In which Americs
trusts, and it Is that which Mr.
Froude fails to understand.
There are thousands of Protest.
ants in the United States who be
lieve that there is danger of an at
tempt of Romanists to make tn
power of Rome supreme in ou
affairs of State. 1t may be tina
there are prominent Roman Cath
olics who are endeavoring to secur
such supremacy for the Pope
but, unless the hope of human
progress Is to be overthrown

Senator Gordon has introduced
a resolution in the United States

this Government to any company
that shall be granted u concession
to construct an inter. oceanic canal
by way of the Nicaragua route. A
similar resolution has been intro

White has offered a joint-resolu-

Constitution by authorizing the
President to disapprove of any item
in a bill without yitiating the
whole.
Mr.. Foote has introduced a resO-
luton in the House affirming the
constitutionality of greenbacks,
and declaring that any attempt to
change their their legal status
would be injurious and mischiev-
Gus. This is a slap at Hayes.
Sidney A. Grant, one of the Den
yer lot-swindlers, was found guilty
yesterday of misusing the mails.
Jay Gould has offered $300,O 900
for the county of Arapahoe's stock
in the Denver Pacific and the Den.
yer Southern Railroad. An cleo
tion takes place to-day on the
question of selling or not selling
the stock.
The Com mission now sitting at
Los Pinos to investigate the Ute
outbreak is receiving the testimony
of Indians. The Utes are AT Los
Pinos in large force, and there is
danger that they may resort to vlo-

the party advancing from Utah,
and supposed to be soldiers are
Mormons.

New Route to Sacramento

The new short line of the Central
Pacific Railroad betwoon San Fran
cisco and Sacramento will be OPEN
en- for regular freight and passenger
traffic within the next ten days.
The travelling time between the
two cities will be materially less
ened. The length of the main line
now in operation from this city to
the Capital Ella Martinez and Bantos
is 152 miles, but it avoids the heavy
grades of Livermore Pass on the
old Western Pacific line from the
bay to Sacramento, which is twelve
miles shorter. The distance from
this city to Sacramento by the Val
lejo route is only 81 miles, but two
hours OF the time is consumed in
running by steamer from this point
to Vallejo, distance of 26 miles.
The distance between San Francis
co and Sacramento by the new
main line, which will be opened
within two weeks, is 92 miles. Even
with twenty minutes delay for
transfer across the Straits of Car
quinez from Port Costa to Benicia
by the floating bridge Solano, the
time to Sacramento will be two
hours and thirty minutes shorter
than the present main line time,
and one hour shorter than the time
by the Vallejo route. The straits
are very narrow where the crossing
is made, being about thirteen
lengths of the mammoth SOlano,
which Is 424 feet long. The rail-
road people estimate that it will re-
quire twenty minutes to transfer a
passenger trains. r. Bulletin.
