The Baltimore Conference Of the
M. e. Church, body which repre-
SCENTS Ehe opinions of a very large
element in this community, Tues
day entred its protest against the
city and State appropriations to ST..
Mary's Inlus rial School. The Bal
timore Prebytery has heretofore put
itself on record to the same effect, and
other Protestant religious bodies have
taken simllaraction. The sectarian
appropriation injunction laid on the
city some four years ago settled a
very vexed question of this charac-
ter. Special contracts have been since
made by the city with St. Mary's
industrial School and other institu-
tons, by which the city pays these
Institutions so much per annum for
the care of boys committed to them
by magistrates or by the courts. The
Objectionable feature to Protestant
bodies is that st. Mary'S Industrial
School is under Catholic management.
Its education and training may be of
non sectarian character, but Prot
estants look at it as purely Roman
Catholic School, knowing that Arch
bishop Gibbons is its president, Fa-
Their Lee its vice president, Brother
Alexius its superintendent, Father
Michigan, Father Chapelle. Father
McManus, Father Gaitley, Father
Didier, Father Mccoy and others its
boa!d of trustees. The city and state
have representation in the board
but no Protestant can be con-
WINGED that Saint Mary's In
dustrial school is anything but
a purely sectarian institution.
The result is constant and repeated
protests, such as we have referred to,
against public grants for its benefit
on any consideration. The religious
papers OF the city carry on an almost
constant warfare on the subject, and
rarely does a Protestant religious
body assemble in this city, at which
reference is not made to the matter.
1t evidently rests with our Legislators
to solve this problem, by removing
all possible ground for religious OBJ
jections but to do this it would be
necessary to place all institutions of
reformatory character wholly UNI
der control and authority of the city
and state. BdltO. american.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
Special Correspondence to The Republican
WASHINGTON. d. c.. Mch. 8, 1880.


Special Correspondence to The Republican
WASHINGTON. d. c.. Mch. 8, 1880.
The Supreme Court has given an
important decision, which hits the
Democrats in tender spot. They
affirm the constitutionality of the
Federal election law, and 90 further
by deciding that local officers are pun
ishat lie by Federal Courts for refusing
or neglecting to enforce the laws
when the election of members of
Congress or other Federal officers is
concerned. This is the sorest rebuke
the Democrats have had, and ought
to have the effect to discourage them
in their purpose to obstruct the Uni
ted State officers in the performance
of their duties. They cannot now
refuse to give supplies to the United
State Marshals without flying in the
face of the highest tribunal in the
land, and thus weaken their already
feeble hold on the country.
The agreement between Secretary
Schurz and the Utes will be sent to
sCongress in a few Gays. Congress
will probably authorize it by bill,
and then the agreement will be final
ly ratified. This agreement does not
seem to satisfy all parties concerned,
as fears are expressed that it will not
meet with favor by the Indians at
home, and the white people of Colo
RADIO say that the Indians have all
the advantage, and in fact, have die
tated their terms. Secretary Schurz
seems to have poor luck in treating
the Indian question.
The House Committee on Coinage,
weights and measures. at their meet
ing to-day agreed to report favorably
to the House Mr.. Forts bill "to pro-
vide for the exchange of trade dollars
for legal tender dollars" A proviso
was added, and the bill as agreed up
on provides "that the Secretary of
the Treasury shall cause to be ex-
changed at the Treasury and at all
sub treasures of the United States
/ legal tender silver dollars for trade
dollars at par, and shall recon the
said trade dollars into legal tender
dollars, as now provided by law, and
shall stop the further coming of trade
dollars"
1t begins to look as if the bill au-
thorizing the Secretary of the Navy
to use Naval Vessel for the trans
portation of supplies to Ireland, or
to charter vessel for that purpose,
will, in the absence Of a cargo be
only ornamented as it were. No
body has communicated with the
Navy Department as to supplies for
the supposed ship. Several parties
have, however, written offering to
hire ships for the transportation of
supplies.
The Public Printer dosen't seem to
understand the methods used in the
House to delay appropriations. He
seems to think his deficiency bill will
be passed speedily. He has been
obliged to Through his force, because
ofno funds. He will get no appropri-
alton within. at least, six weeks.

Bloomington and Elk Garden

The project to build railroad from
Bloomington, Garrett county, Mary
land, to Elk Garden, West Virginia.
distance of about twelve miles, has
within the past few days assumed
such tangible shape as to warrant
the prediction that the construction
of the road is now an assured fact.
and that it will be constructed with
as much despatch as possible. At
Bloomington the Baltimore q Ohio
railroad crosses the north branch of
the Potomac into West Virginia,
and the plan is to build narrow
guage road from the West Virginia
side of the river to Elk Garden, at
which place there are large deposits
of bituminous coal, which have as
yet never been worked, on account
of the lack of transportation facili
ties. The new road will be known
as the Bloomington and Elk Garden
railroad. 1t has been duly organized
under the general railroad laws, and
sufficient capital has been subscribed
to build and equip the line. The
prime movers in the enterprise are
Mr.. Alexander Shaw, of Shaw Bros,
coal dealers, Baltimore, and United
States Senator Henry G. Davis, of
West Virginia. The route for the
new road has been surveyed the
right of way has nearly all been &C
ouired, and negotiations are now In
progress for the same at the points
where it has not yet been obtained.
The coal deposit which it is intend
ed to open up consists of vein II
feet thick, and covering 600 acres
of bituminous coal very similar in
quality to the celebrated Georges
Greek coal. The plan at present
in most favor with the projectors of
the new road is TO run the small
mining cars direct from the mine to
a trestle work, which will be built
alongside the track of the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad at either Bloom
ingt0n or the. West Virginia bank
of the Potomac. The coal will then
be dumped into the cars of the Bal
iimore and Ohio road, and shipped
into Baltimore and other markets
along the line of that road. Esti-
mat s of the cost of building the
road are placed at from 81, 500 to
$4,000 per mile, tie total cost, with
engines and cars, not being expected
to exceed 100000. The Baltimore
and Ohio railroad, while not taking
any money interest in the project,
recognizes the value which the con.
nection would be to them, and have
given the scheme their moral sup
port, and will enter into contract
with the new road for the transpor.
tatl0n of the products of the mine.
There is abundant capital enlisted in
the enterprise to ensure its success
full carrying out, and it is stated that
ground will be broken just as soon "a
the weather is sufficiently settled to
guarantee that operations will not
have to be suspended after having
once been commenced.

to understand that communism and
nihilism cannot. if transplauted to
this country, be permitted to take
root. There is law enough to protect
the we'll disposed in ali their rights,
and to punish the guilty, whether of
low or high degree. Kearney's ca
reer as an orator, agitator and states

Every able bodied man in this coun-
try who works steadily and takes care

BLACK AND BLUE.
The Republicans Start their
Campaign, and Give Grant
a Healthy Boom.

The stalwart wing of the radical
party made a start for Grant lastnight
by meeting at the Greenlaw opera
house in mass meeting. At the hour
announced to begin work corporals
guard or less were on hand. The
band started out ON the grand rounds,
however, and drummed up squads of
republicans, chiefly colored. In due
time they collected in sufficient num-
bers to give proper tone to the affair,
and they started into open business.
The usual crowd Of old war horses of
the radical party, nearly all Office
seekers, were on hand, and figured
prominently, Of course. There was
VIM. r, Moore as chairman, and in
leading view as leaders were lead
ing lights with black faces, and
shining lights with white faces, side
by side, as laborers in the cause.
The Rev. Mr.. Hurley, Captain S. s.
Garrett, H. Trowbridge, l. NJ. Hill,
j. II. Sailor, j. Il. BiGelow, Ed Shaw,
W. j. Smith, L. B. Eaton, II. Me-
Kenna, and Others Of the same shade
of thought and complexion were on
hand. The chairman, Mr.. Moore,
spoke of how good a feeling now rules
in this community, and what a fine
thing tits to be republican, and how
little one felt at home as such in days
now past. He understood the object
of the meeting to be to sound the key
note of the presidential campaign.
A speech made by Colonel Ed Shaw,
colored, was chiefly leveled at the
greenback or national party, and
abused the Shelby county end of it
roundly. Others who took part in
the talk were Mr.. S. H.Scott, colored,
Rev. Mr.. Hurley, ditto, H. Trow-
bridge, ditto, Colonel L. B. Eaton,
W. ]. Smith and J. L. Bigelow. A
letter of considerable interest was
read from the venerable and Hon,
Josiah DeLoach. In it he spoke out
earnestly and emphatically for Grant,
and whenever that distinguished citi.
zen was alluded to it created great en-
thusiasm.
A series of resolutions were present
ed and adopted, formed in the usual
style Of political literature, when peo.
pie of different views are wanted to
affiliate, and in due time, like Other
gatherings Of the sort, the crowd ad.
Itourned.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE Eve
ming Star publishes the following dis
patch from New York, which it says
editOrially comes from confidential
friend" Of Mr.. Tilden, and it may be
accepted as entirely reliable:
Governor Tilden declines again to-
day to be interviewed as to his report
ed withdrawal as a candidate for the
presidency, on the ground that if he
did so, it would take most of time to
correct the reports regarding his per-
sonal and political affairs. l have
learned, however, direct from those in
his confidence. and you may rely upon
this as absolutely correct, that he has
not decided to withdraw as a candi-
date. On the contrary, Governor Til
den is making the most earnest.
though quiet, political contest of his
life to save the democracy of this
state for the coming presidential
campaign, and however this results
personally to himself, he will be sat
isfed if the state is saved to the
democratic party. He believes that
if the power Of John Kelly and his
faction, as he terms it, is not destroyed
this spring, the state is lost TO the
democracy in November, and hope
leIsly lost thereafter if the full or
partial control of its organization is
left in the hands of Mr.. Kelly. This
is the precise situation which Gov.
rilden regards as much higher than
mere personal candidacy. In his
opinion, if the legitimate organization
and control of the party are not re-
tanned and enforced in every election
precinct in the state of New York, it
is quite immaterial whether he or any
other democrat is nominated at Gin
cinnati, for this state could not be
carried. TO surrender or to eompro
mise with Mr.. Kelly, Gov. Tilden
holds, would be fatal now to the party
in the state as surrender would have
been to the regular state convention
to MIR, kelly's secession convention
last fall at Syracuse. When Mr.. Kelly
