TRACING TIE CRIME.


The evidence is accommodating steadily in
the Morey case, and it is clear that the
fabricators of the forgery viii be made to
regret their smartness before the inves-
tigation is closed The testimony of Sam
uel S. Morey and O'Brien fixes the guilt of
the ulanipulations directly upon the Dem
cratic National Committee It was Barnum
who sent the dispatch to Lawrence, Mass,
to have Morey sent on to New York, and
it was through the committee that he and
0'Brien were both paid for their false testi-
mony. Clark and Sanborn are inculpated,
but it is plain that the principals are be-
hind them, and that they cannot escape.
The prosecution has too many compromia-
ing facts in it's possession to be baffied now.
The indications are that Barnum will very
soon have more fraud business to attend to
on his own account than he is ever likely
to discover in the election returns of Kings
county. What the decent Democrats think
of these revelations can at present only be
conjectured, but it is fortunate for them
that they are in no danger of being left in
doubt as to the nature of the practices by
which their National Committee under
took to secure Hancock's election.

THE CHRISTIAN COLLEGE SCHEME.

It has been proposed to found Chris
tan College, as an offset to the State
University, the breadth of whose curric-
ulum has offended some pious persons.
There can be no possible objection to the
founding of Christian College by those
who have the means to bestow upon such
an enterprise, but it ought to be obvious
that such an institution cannot supply the
place of the State University, and that it
can in fact occupy no higher position than
is held by any one of the strictly sectarian
colleges which already abound. For the
main purpose of q University must be,
and certainly ought to be, to encourage
the pursuit of Truth through Science.
Now any institution of learning which sets
ont with a fixed formula Of theological
ideas, is to that extent hampered, and ITS
purpose is to that extent thwarted. Ii the
dogmas of Christianity are, as claimed by

HARDLY REpUBIIcANIzeD

The scene in the French Chamber of
Deputies when the recalcitrant member,
Baudry D'Asson, refused to leave after his
expulsion had been decreed, and suisse
quently had to be carried out, kicking and
screaming, by score of soldiers, hardly
comported with republican ideas. Fancy
file of Federal troops being marched into
the House of Representatives to remove
an obstinate member, and he pitching
into the soldiers tooth and nail while
the House was in session. 1t is obvious
that such scene could not occur in this
country, and it is equally clear that where
ever it can occur the spirit of democratic
institutions has not yet become assimi-
lated. This French deputy evidently had
no idea of the dignity of his position. He
appears to have acted throughout rather
like perverse and petulant school-boy
than as a national representative. Parlis-
mentary rules had no meaning for him.
Being in the wrong, and justly reproved,
he resorted to lawless methods, and chose
to scandalize the Chamber and disgrace
himself rather than forego this ridiculous
exhibition of his spleen. NJ. Baudry
D'Asson is plainly not a born legislator,
nor fitted for the duties of representa-
tive. He ought to be unseated and sent
home to the constituency he has dis

KsLLY AND TlLDgE.

Kelly is endeavoring to make it appear
that the defeat Of the Democratic party in
New York was caused by the apathy or
downright hostility of Tilden. We sup
pose it is tolerably certain that the states
man of Gramercy Park was not among
those who bewailed the result of the
Presidential election. Ia fact he would
hardly have been human had he not in
wardly chuckled at catastrophe which
enabled him to take the position that all
this misfortune came of abandoning him
at Cincinnati. They dropped him and the
fraud issue, and they were beaten. 1t is
case of Post hoc, ergo propteT hoe, but the
logic is good enough for the commonalty.
As for Kelly, however, it is very well un-
derstood that he really cared nothing for
the question of the Presidency, but a
great deal for the question of the
Mayoralty of New York. He had
nominated for that office a man who would
serve him, and that was all he looked to.
Therefore he directed all his efforts to in
surfing the election of Grace, and let Han
cock take his chances Now Grace was
unpopular, and his nomination brought out
tremendous opposition. 1t was SO strong
that it came within two thousand of beat
ing him, and incidentally it did beat
Hancock. The Republican Presidential
fight moreover was thoroughly made in
New York, and 20 stone was left unturned
to secure votes for Garfield. 1t is quite
possible that Mr. Tilden did MOI &c cut of
his way to help his dear friend General
Hancock, but the supposition that any
thing he did or failed to do, seriously
affected the result, is preposterous, and
rever would have been advanced had not

that could be secured under the circum-
stances 1t was not the will of the State
that hydraulic mining should be put stop
to. To have done this would have been
to destroy an important interest and to
drive large capital out of the State. 1t
certainly could not have been the wish OF
the State that thu flow of debris from the
hydraulic mines should be permitted to
continue without hindrance, since that
would have involved the sacrifice of more
property than the mining region repre-
sents. Neither the miners nor the farmers
could by themselves undertake the extern
sive works required to handle the debris,
and therefore 1t became necessarily State
question. When the State needs any i'm
portant and costly internal improvements
it turns to Congress for aid, and nobody in
such cases thinks it hard that tax
payers in distant parts of the
Union should be called upon to
contribute to these projects. There is no
more reason for Directing to the debris
bill. Every intelligent citizen of Califor-
MIA ought to be able to perceive that this
is one of the cases in which State aid is
indispensable, and that therefore it should
be given without protest or grudging
Especially ought San Francisco to support
the debris bill, for her harbor is dependent
upon the success of the measures now in
progress for its ultimate preservation.
The press of that city should be foremost
in defense of the engineering works which
are now being pushed to completion, and
her delegation should be solid on the
same position. For unless the Sacramento
river can be protected against the flow of
debris the San Francisco harbor must
assuredly succumb to the rapid and de-
structive advance of that agency. This
the Investigations and surveys of the
engineers have conclusively established,
and it will hardly be contended that
the salvation of the harbor of San
Francisco is a strictly local question,
as concerns the rest of the State
The fact is that the debris question is as
emphatically State issue as the denuda-
ton of the Sierra, and it will have so to be
regarded. The only possible outcome of
the narrow and shortsighted policy advo-
Gated by those who oppose the debris bill
would beth successive abandonment of diff
ferent parts of the State to destruction,
and the consequent piecsmeal ruin of the
whole community. If the Sacramento val
ley, Sacramento and Marysville, San Fran
cisco and her harbor, were ruined, the
southern counties would find that they
had not lightened the burden of taxation
by the change, nor would they be able to
discover any appreciable advance in the
prosperity of their own section.

Fo, declaring the WEEKLY UNION the best family

which is issued in two parts andcarres to its read

PROTECTIVE MEASURES.

1t is probable that not less than ten mill
ion votes were cast at the late Presidential
election. Judging from the increase IN the
popular vote between 1872 and 1876 this is
moderate estimate. and In the latter
year eight millions and a half were cast.
OF this great number more than four and
half million votes were cast for the DEM
ocratic ticket. Is it possible to assume
that intelligence and patriotism We're here
the controlling motives CAN'T be believed
By any one who recalls the character of the
late Democratic campaign. its lack Of prin-
ciple, its fragrant inconsistencies, its lavish
use of fraud, its deliberate attacks upon
the freedom of the franchise, it's calunnies
and its crimes, that between four and five
millions of American citizens preferred
that party programme on its merits !? Such
conclusion is clearly inadmissible. On
the contrary, nothing can explain the
strength of the Democratic vote but the
prevalence of unreasoning docility among
those who cast it. And this unreason-
/ ing docility, which leads men to
support the most dangerous heresies
and to approve the most fragrant abuses,
is a standing danger to the republic.
| Under existing circumstances it is dan
ger, moreover, which may at any time
overcome the strenuous opposition of the
| intelligent elements of the voting popula.
ton, for the reason that our political ig
norance is constantly and largely recruited
and reinforced from outside, whereas our
political intelligence is the slow growth OF
tedious educational processes. Every Presi-
Dental election brings great accessions OF
| strength to the least stable and trustworthy
| class Of voters At such times the most
energetic measures are taken by partisan
leaders to procure the naturalization Of for
eigners whose only political merit is that
they will vote as they are directed, or as
| they are paid to vote. The naturalization
laws are VIGOROUSLY useless in preventing
the introduction of ignorant and unfit ele-
ments to the voting population. The
| Courts in our great seaport cities admit
thousands to citizenship who have not the
remotest conception of the form of gov
eminent under which they are to live.
It is fortunate if these newcomers are even
able to speak the language of the country,

FRENCH POLITICS.

Another French Cabinet has gone to
pieces under the strain of the unauthor-
lied congregation laws, and once more
President Grevy is obliged to call upon
III. Gambetta to form Ministry The
defeat of the Ministers was technically
based on the rejection of the Education
bill, but it is well understood that the real
cause of the vote of the Chambers was the
conflict with the moRastic orders The
Government cannot afford to suspend or
abandon the measures it has set in mo-
ton, however. The very fact that some
of the orders against which the law is
directed have undertaken to resist its ex-
ecution, renders it imperatively necessary
that the policy should be carried out. The
question of the supremacy of the State
over the Church must be settled in every
country at some time, and no matter what
complications it gives rise to it IS the part
of craftsmanship to force it to conclusion
If the French Republic is to live it must
live as purely secular government, and
it must be sovereign in it's jurisdiction.
There ia no room in any rational system
of government for hierarchical preten-
sons, and they must be resolutely ex-
Guided, or they will bring about the ruin
of the edifce into which they are admit
ted. Whether the Chamber understood
clearly what it was doing In voting
down the Ministerial programme is
perbaps somewhat doubtful, but assured
" it cannot comprehend the interests of
France if it puts any obstacles in the way
of the present governmental policy. The
State has the sole right to the control of
the education of the people. No organiza-
ton which pays allegiance to foreign
head. which arrogates to itself temporal as
well as spiritual sovereignty, which sets
duty to an ecclesiastical government before
duty to ones country, can be trusted any
where to educate the young. All ques-
lions OF religious dogma apart, these con-
siderations suffice to demonstrate the me-
cessity for that separation between Church
and State in matters of education which
France is now laboring to effect. With
free secular schools, amply endowed in
their scientific departments, the State can
afford to extend equal and undiscrimin.
ating countenance and protection to all re-

TIE RESULT OF THE ELECTION OF
GRACE.

It will be remembered that the election
of Grace, Kelly's nominee for Mayor of
New York, was opposed on the ground
that he was Roman Catholic, and there
fore could not be trusted with the distribu-
ton of the school fund. The New York
Nation, after the election, comments as
follows ''Mr. Grace's election, together
with that of the Democratic Aldermen,
probably makes a Catholic majority in
the Board of Apportionment, which dig
tributes the school fund. That this
"will lead to an attempt to divert por-
ton of it to sectarian schools is, of
course, not certain, but it seems very
"probable. Mr.. Grace, in his letter of
acceptance, praised the common school
"system but what he said is
"quite consistent with his thinking
"the Catholics ought to have share
"of the money for common schools
managed in their own way. That Kelly
50 thinks so there can be no doubt for
Kelly is pious Catholic, and on the ques-
s. ton whether Catholics should use public
money, if they can get it, Tor Catholic
schools, the Church has never in any
country exhibited the slightest wavering.
:" She has compromised on most other ques-
tons of a politico-religious kind, but
"never on this, In fact, we are willing to
"stake our very slender reputation as the
''ologians on the assertion that if Mr..
Grace as Mayor has discretion in the
" disposition of the school fund, and fails
Z" to give the Catholics show, he will CON-
''n NIT sin. This, then, is what the
people of New York have to anticipate.
That the danger is real, the fact that the
most cautious journal in the country
makes such assertions as the above clearly
indicates. The implications of what has
to be apprehended in this case are of course
not confined to New York, but concern
the whole country. II in one city of one
State in the Union the Catholics can insert
the thin end of the wedge, and secure a
diversion of part of the public school fund
to the support of sectarian schools. they
will assuredly not stop there. New York
in such case viii be used as fulcrum
wherewith to move the whole country,
and everywhere the attacks upon the
school system viii be redoubled
The course of Mr.. Grace, therefore, must
be watched with keen interest and anx-
iety. It can scarcely be doubted that
he viii find the pressure too strong 10
be resisted, and that he will attempt the
diversion Of the school fund, as predicted
by the Nation, and if he does it is difficult
to see how the invasion can be resisted
under the circumstances. It would seem
as though the beginning of great and
formidable and far-reaching conflict was
indicated in the election of this man Grace,
in fact, and the country will do well to
keep its eyes upon a condition of things
which is by no means purely local ques-
ton, but may, perhaps we should say
must, be transferred to broader field be-
fore it has progressed far.

PRoyIsToH ron Bx-PREsIDENTs

A movement has been set on foot to raise
fund of $3.50, 600 or $500, 600 wherewith
to furnish an income of some So, 500 to
the oldest living ex. President. 1t is stated
that there would be no difficulty in raising
the whole amount among few wealthy
men, but that it is considered best to let
the people generally contribute to it. 1t
is no doubt desirable that the men who
have been raised to the highest position in
the gift of the American people should be
protected against restitution in their de-
clining years, but it is by no means SO
certain that the method proposed is the
most fitting. 1t may seem to many that if
anything of this kind is done it ought to be
undertaken by the ration In its official
character; that is to say, through the
medium of Constitutional Amendment,
or by Congress. Certainly if the people
desire to provide for ex.Presidents they
should proceed about it in an open, digni-
fed and husiness-like way, in preference to
taking method which looks too much like
passing round the hat.

ligious denominations, leaving it to the
enlightened citizen to follow the bent of
his own inclination in this respect, and
taking effcctual guarantees against the
premature biasing of the rising genera
ton. This is the object of the legislation
which is now causing SO much discussion
in France. There appears to be no doubt
that it has the approval of the great body
of the people. and that its opponents
are generally those who, as Legitinnists,
would impose upon the nation the yoke of
hereditary sovereignty, under the obsolete
pretense of divine right. AT least these
people are consistent, but they certainly
are neither safe nor popular guides.
