st. Bcnedict's Bones.

The Fathers of the Passionist Church
and Mona stery in West HobOken, N. Y.
Sunday performed their annualceremony
of bringing the relics of st. BenedIotfrem
their place of deposit and laying them in
the chancel where the congregation
could see them. The relics were In q
glass case two and half feet long, and
they consisted of a skull, two thigh
bones, two bones from tho arms, frag-
ments of the ribs and spine, and other
bones. On the skull was wreath of
artificial flowers, and scattered on the
floor Of the case were coloren ornaments.
On anelevated bier was awax figure OF the
saint nearly hfs-size, lying as thoagh in
death. In the neck was wide and deep
cash. He was represented as young
man, and his robes were blue and red,
ornamented with gold. During the
vesper service in the afternoon the
SION through the aisles of the church
before and behind the relics headed by
a cross.
Father Fidclis in his discourse said that
st. Benedict lived 900 years ago in
Rome, and was brought before the pras
tors for being a Christian. On being re-
quired to make a sacrifice on the altar
of JOve, he refused, and his head was
Immediately taken off by the sword of a
lictor.
One of the fathers subsequently ex-
planned in private that the relics ware
discovered in the Priscilla Cemetery in
Rome about two hundred years ago.
The sarcophagus contained small pot
terry vial which might be supposed to
have contained blood. No name was on
the sar cOphagus, nor was there any pa
pyrus or ribbed stone indicating the
m inner of death, but as decapitatiOn by
the sword was the mode of punishment
at that time, and as it was customary to
first require heather rite from persons
accused of Christianity, as a means OF
saving their lives, a ground existed for
the assumption Of the church that the
bones were those of a martyr. The mar
tyr was called st. Benedict. and all those
az TO the manner and cause of whose
death there are similar Indications re-
ceive names. They are not eanOnized
The fact of their being martyrs entities
them to be considered as saints.
st. Benedict's bones were sealed and
deposited in church Of Ancona, in
Italy, at the time of their discovery, and
were presented three years ago to Mrs
Paterson, an American convert, who
gave them to the Passionist Order IN
Rome. From there they were sent to
the Passionists of Hoboken, and the a
was broken by Bishop Corrigan,

Our ls0litfenl kituatiOnl.

Mr.. EbIr0R-Sir: i have been watt
Ing and watching the course Of the two
political parties at Washington since the
extra session has met. The course is
now beginning TO show itself plainly
whether this country shall be ruled on
Democratic or Federal principles. John
Adams was the last president the latter
party ever had; and since the election
Of Jackson it ceased to breathe; yes, it
has been dead for over fifty years, and
was in hopes it would never breathe any
more. But there has been a resurrection
Of this strong central government power
by the Republican party Of the very
worst type-it may be called an epidem-
ic in that party, and especially among
the money kings and rich corporations
whose rulers are nearly all members of
said party. They want strong govern
ment TO protect their monopoly, that
they may grow richer at the expense of
the honest labOring classes of the cO,ln-
try. Their cry is, ''gve us government
that has power that we can call upon
for help with standing army to watch
and keep down the poor working man !;
and it was in opposition to these monop-
lies that the people of California adopted
their new constitution. This malignant
type of Federalism is worse for the life
of this country in her political freedom
and the rights OF the States than the yell
low fever was to the people Of the South.
Why just think of It! The President
vetOes the bill prohibiting military inter
ference at elections, because II discrimi-
mates in favor of the States. How diff
ferent are his views compared with Presi-
dent JacksOn's when he said elf err let
the error be in favor of the States" The
old Federal party never wanted to inter
fere with the States in their constitution
al rights. 1t only wanted to make the
centre stronger. That might have done
in those days when the people were hon
est but we must see TO il now. The
price of liberty is eternal vigilance |!
What to have these stalwarts in power
with Grantism at the head? Let us say
no, over the top of the military if they
be in the way. cannot think the peo-
pie of this country will ever endorse
federalism in its mildest state, without
they are cheated or prevented from vot-
ing their sentiments. They were cheat
ed out of their last president which they
elected, and we must take care in 1880
and kill federalism so that the hand of
the resurrectionist will never reach it. l
will say I'm conclusioii, where is our
boasted educational system if we are
going back to the federalism which the
fathers of the republic repudisted? T.

In the meantime the Mexican nation
had become involved ina difficulty with
the United States. The department of
California became of immense imports
ance and Mexican ambassadors were
sent to General Sutter with an offer to
pay him $fOO, 900 in cash, in addition to
valuable tracts of land further south, for
the establishment Of New Helvetia, in
clnding the fort. This advantageous
and tempting offer was refused, simply
because the General had about him
many Americans who would have been
at, the mercy Of Mexican clltthroats If he
abandoned his position. In fact, his
sympathies and active cooperation were
on the side of the United States in the
struggle that followed, His fort became
the nucleus of our military operations, so
that General Sherman had ample ground
for saying short time since of General
Suffer that ''to him more than TO any
single person are we indebted for the
conquest of California and all its treas
ures."
BY the treaty of Guadalupe-H -Hidalgo,
which ceded California to us, it was ex-
pressly stipulated that the owners of
property therein should retain the same
without being subjected to any contribu-
ton, tax or charge whatever. Our
board of land commissioners, appointed
for the investigation Of land titles In
California, confirmed Suffers claim to
the New Helvetia and Sobrante tracts.
The squatters In possession appealed to
the United. States district court, which
affirmed the decision of the board. Then
the appealed to the United States su-
preme court, and that tribunal of last re-
sort affirmed the grant Of eleven leagues,
but on the merest technicality, reversed
the two previous decisions as to the larg-
er grant of twenty-five leagues. Mean
while, encouraged by his successes be-
fore the lower tribunals, Gen. Sutter
had sold much of the large tract, giving
warranty deeds, and, to make good the
covenants therein made, used up the
smaller grant. He managed to save for
while an estate on the Feather River,
which he hoped would be resting place
for his wife and children, who had joined
him in 1852, but in this project he was
also disappointed. As the enormous ex-
penses of decade of litigation increased
he was obliged to mortgage this estate,
and it has long since been all sold by
tho sheriff. For the purpose Of educat-
ing two grandchildren he moved to Litiz
few years ago, and there he has since
lived in retirement and ruminatiOn.
The old general, who, if he had his own,
would be one of the wealthiest men on
the continent, thinks we are great ma
tion, capable of great things, and GER.
tainly too immense to be content with
anything less than exact justice between
ourselves and an individual who has di-
rectly and indirectly been of incalcul-
able benefit to us. ..r

IMPORTANT RIVER INTERESTS.
The Boats OF the Philadelphia and
Salem SeealnhOat lnpany.


Salem SteaanbOat Company.
The Philadelphia and Salem Steam
boat Company is the oldest upon the
western waters of the Delaware river
and bay. For more than fifty years
this company have had an active organi-
zation, by the use and employment of
packets and sloOps for the. carriage OF
passengers and merchandise between the
two cities. The enterprising h1essrs.
Reybold, who introduced the extensive
peach growing along the western shore
of our beautiful river and bay in the
counties of Kent and New Castle, We're
soon enabled to employ barges, steamers.
and little by little their stock in trade
increasing, till for the past quarter of a
century this family Of fruit growers,
farmers, merchants and steamboat pro-
prietOrs, have classed as the lords of the
mercantile navigation of the lower wa
ters of the Delaware river and bay shores.
At the present time the Philadelphia and
Salem line of steamers have over two
hundred thousand dollars worth of EN-
ployed capital, and have expended large
sums of money in erecting piers, lant-
ings and dikes along the line of these
fertile and now prolific shores.
Prominent among the company's boats
are the Perry, Major Reybold and Thom-
as Clyde. The Perry and Major Rey-
bold generally run the regular daily pas
senger trips between Philadelphia and
Salem, the one or the other leaving each
Of those cities in the morning Of each
day in the week, and returning the same
day. The Thomas Clyde, not yet one
year old, was built by this company to
take the place of the Ariel, which was
not of sufficient capacity to accommo-
date the passengers to the Delaware bay
salt water bathing grounds. This new
iron steamer is palace finished and par
lOr furnished, with a capacity and equip
ment for 1900 persons. The Major Rey-
bold having received her spring and sum-
mer equipments, is making her regular
trips between Salem and Philadelphia,
stopping at Chester going and returning.
She Is Commanded by Captain Geo &c A.
Cleaver, who was promoted at the time
Captain w. +. Reybold was elected to
the co nmand of the Clyde. The Perry,
under her old commander, Captain John
son, has been put in complete order, and
will soon be on her accustomed route.

clause Of the Legislative Appropriation
b.ll which provides forsusiig the $lO,-
100000 fund, reserved for the redemp-
ton of the fractional, currency to pay
the pension arrears, and refused by 25 to

House was mostly employed by Messrs.
Shelley, Russell, Kitchin and Davidson
in personal explanations of charges
against them. The vote on passing the
Free Elections bill over the veto was 127
to 90, not the necessary twO-thirds. Ten
of the Nationals voted with the Demo-
Gratis and three did not vote. Messrs.

Watertown republican. [volume] (Watertown, Wis.) 1860-1906, 1879-10-01

The greenback vote of Wisconsin can
not be as large this fall as it was two years
ago. Many prominent men who acteC
with that party then have left it, anc
several of its organs have gone out of ex
istence for want of support. The Wis
consin Greenback, the oldest and ablest
greenback organ in the state, published
at Sparta, issued it's last number Sept
18th. With it's last issue it takes leave
of it's readers, and gives good and sub
stantial reasons why greenbackers should
now vote the republican ticket The ed
itor of the Greenback defines his present
position in an able and lengthy article
Below we give sample paragraph:
Reforms in finance or upon anything,
however much needed to promote justice
and the equal rights of men, are useless
when preached to assassns and traitors.
Those men hated the Nation in 1860;
they hate it to-day Let us first establish
the fact that we have a Government,
which is capable of protecting even the
humblest of it's citizens in the enjoyment
of their rights, and then we can make
progress toward the goal of reform. 1t
matters not what kind of money a Nation
in anarchy and at the feet of unrepentent
rebels may have. To a disrupted Govern
ment, money would be useless. For these
and other reasons we shall act with the
party which has stood by the slave and
the Republic, believing that no man,
within whatever party's ranks he may
stand, can fail to find opportunities to
work for the right, if this is his sincere
object. The Republican party is not a
party of spotless reputation. 1t seems
natural for all political parties to grow
corrupt with age. But to act for the time
with that party, is our choice, and no one
has any right to object to our thus choos-
ing. May God save the Republic from
scorpion bite of that Democracy whose
pretentions of love for soft money (see the
late hard money platform of the Demo
Gratis of Wisconsin, are proved to be as
baseless as their vaporings about being
the "protectors of freedom and the equal
rights of man. while they stood by the
cursed South for more than half cen
fury. When we have shown to the world
that men who deserve death as traitors
shall not legislate for freemen, we can
have more time and larger opportunities
to preach other needed reforms.
