THE cATHOLdC CHURCH AND THE
 LAND LEAGUE.


 LAND LEAGUE.
 The recent address of Bishop McQuaid, of Rochester, New York, to his congrega- tion and diocese, concerning the duty of Catholics in regard to affairs in Ireland was 8
 notable utterance. The Bishop said that he
 had prepared himself for clear and distinct
 expression, and that no one of his hearers
 could doubt his meaning or his earnestness.
 He spoke only to- Catholics; and the man
 who denies the authority of the Church in
 teaching questions of faith and morals is no
 Catholic. It is Catholic teaching that the
 end does not always justify the means.
 Secret, oath-bound societies do not become allowable because here and there priest
 may be found whose loose conscience sanc-
 tions them. False doctrines at variance with
 the plain teachings of the Sovereign Pontif do not become true because some priests adopt and proclaim them. Tho Bishop said, in reference to the appearance of Father Sheehey, "fresh from the Chicago Conven- tion," that it would have been seemly for those who invited him to Rochester ito have made inquiry of the ecclesiastical authority of the diocese with regard to said priests standing in the church.'' In conclusion, the Bishop said that he had been very thought full and careful in the expression of his views, because he had no doubt that the 'sradical doctrines" he had uttered would be reviewed by ''the very highest authority" But, said he, 'T am sure that the no rent cry is all wrong, in principle as well as in policy"
 This is sound doctrine, and the promulga- ,GS s.< kl,oD dence Journal well says: Without refer ence now to the merits of the land question, it is to be observed that it is for the Church to say what is and what is not question of morals, This authority having decided that given question is one of morals, or it being such upon the face of it, the Catholic must submit to the teaching of the Church, and Bishop McQuaid is .astute enough to perceive that the spectacle of the priesthood either not know ing not obeying the teaching of the Church is one not calculated to strengthen the mind, Protestant or Catholic, in the be- lief that such priesthood is intelligent and sincere. Obedience is a, if not the, note of Catholicism, and there are Protestants, not a few, who have at times wished for some potential instead of simple theoretic supre macy in their own denominations But if just when the authority of the Catholic Church is according to her own decla- tion, the most needed for the welfare of her own children, it is the baseless fabric of vision, neglected and derided by those who have vowed to maintain it, then and in such case the Church will have no attraction for the intelligent, no terror for the wicked.''

HOW TO BEGIN THE NEW YEAR.

HOW TO BEGIN THE NEW YEAR.
 There is always a good deal of 'tgush' about beginning the New Year right, and many are affected by it to the extent of mak- ing some first-class resolutions which are not usually carried out To those of our read CTS who are really desirous of starting of well in 1882 we would say. that one of the best things they can do is to pay all their debts, or as many of them as it is possible to pay, next week. The 'little bills'' especially should be paid, for most of those to whom they are due need the money to enable them to begin the New Year well. If all the debts that can be paid in this city next week were paid there would be quite an ''era of good feeling, :" and some could have and give gifts who might not otherwise be able to- Therefore pay the small bills anyway and the large ones if you can, and start in the New Year as free from the burden of debt as possible. It will make you happier and also those whom you owe. And if you want to be happy all through the year live within your income and "pay as you go.'

The New Orleans IImes and Democrat tells
 strange story of the hand of fate in the case of Esposito, the Italian bandit who was arrested in New Orleans, and who has just been sentenced to death in Palermo, Italy, An American artist was the guest of an Ital- ian prince and in one of Esposito's raids he was captured by mistake for the prince. Es- posito, at first unwilling to believe that his men had made such an error in capturing beggarly artist instead of the wealthy prince, commanded the artist to draw his picture. The injunction was only too readily obeyed, and in short order the bandits face and figure were sketched on piece of paper. Subse- quently the artist was ordered to write let ter to the prince, begging for ransom, which accidentally was written on the re- verse side of the paper bearing the bandits picture. The artist wanted to tear of that portion, to which the bandit objected, saying that it might alter the general bad opinion of his personal appearance. The ransom was for warded and generously returned to the ar tist by the bandit but the letter and picture were preserved. When the detectives struck Esposito's trail in New Orleans to be sure of his identity an artist was employed to sketch him at the first opportunity. The sketch was forwarded to Italy, compared with the sketch made by the captive artist, and thus the chain of evidence against him was com pleted

 Socrates was a stonecutter by trade, but too lazy to follow so honest a calling. He loved to talk too well, and spent his time lounging on street corners and gathering young men as idle as himself around him. His personal appearance was disgusting in the extreme, and one has but to gaze upon the Louvre cast in the gallery of which we are so justly proud to straightway sympa- thize with poor, abused Xantippe He had a fiat nose, thick lips, prominent eyes, bald head low, broad figure, an awkward gait, went barefooted and half-clad, was a bitter enemy to cleanliness, and mountebank in manners He married a woman to whom he was attracted by her singular conversational powers, and although he believed he himself excelled all his contemporaries in that re- spect, yet he found that she far excelled him nothing for the welfare of his wife and chil- dren. left them to support themselves as best they might, while he spent the time he could spare from the curbstone seances and wasted the treasure of his thought at the feet of As pasia and Theodote whom he pretended to desire to convert. that he might thereby add lustre to his own name-sly old dog-and in addition to all this he would invite the lazy creatures who surrounded him to dine with him when there was nothing in the house to entertain them with.
 It is natural that this would be very irri- tating to proud spirited woman who was struggling for herself and little ones. What woman in existence could have borne her soul in patience under such proVocation?

Steel armor will not amount to much against such torpedo boat as the Destroyer, which has lately been tested at the Brooklyn navy yard In actual warfare the torpedo to be used is chamber of iron, or copper, large enough to contain $40 pounds of dynamite. It is claimed that the most powerful ironclads can be penetrated beneath their armor, while the great speed of the torpedo boat and it's facilities for manoeuvering would enable it to get in good deal of work against hostile fleet almost at will and without much danger. The Destroyer is an iron boat with 8 hull nearly submerged.

j. G. Young, Prosecuting Attor-
ney of Montgomery county, was re-
quested by the county Commission
ers, to give an opinion as to the le-
gality of Sheriffs drawing fees out of
the county treasury "for attending d
person before Judge or Court in
criminal cases" Following is the
opinion:
"The Sheriffs are not entitled to
fees for receiving and discharging
prisoners, and for attending prison
ers before a Judge Or Court, so that
they a be paid out of the County
Treasury. He claims they follow
the case, and if aparty is convicted
of a minor offense and unable to pay
the costs, these fees are no more a
able out of the county Treasury than
fees for subpenaing a witness in a
criminal case, but should be taxed
up to the costs Is in all State cases,
in which the Commissioners are not
to allow more than $300a year where
the State fails TO convict. He bases
his opinion on a decision of the Su-
preme Court, in the 10Th o. S., page
40, which says that "Sheriffs are not
entitled to receive from the county
Treasury the payment of fees for
serving ~su6penas and attachments,
or fees for conn lifting to prison or
~discharging therefrom, or for at
tending a person before a Judge in
event in criminal cases, except as
provided in section 3 of the act to
regulate the fees of Sheriffs in civil
and criminal cases, as amended
March 10, 1867, ga o. L.. SOY,
wherein it is provided that the
amount of such payment in any yeai
shall not exceed. $780,"
Such citation being based upon
statute authority of which there is
no doubt, the proper observance of
which will result in the saving of a
good many dollars to the taxpayers
of the State, and the little extra that
Sheriffs have been helping them
selves to cut off. The opinion hold
ing good, is applicable to Preble
county as well as Montgomery.

A New Cincinnati Line.

GREENvILLE, ONO, Feb. 1S.-The
citizens of Greenville held a railroad
meeting in the City Hall TO night.
The object of the assembly was TO
devise some plan to raise $4,000,
the amount required by the Cincin-
natl, Van Vert and Michigan Rail
road Construction Company for the
building of a standard. gauge rail
road from here to the county line,
that portion of the road north Of that
point to the heart of Michigan, aud
outh of here to Cincinnati, via Ea-
ton, to be built by both capitalists
and people along the line. The
matter was discussed, but no def
mite action taken. A motion was
carried that it was the opinion of
the meeting that a standard gauge
would be most preferable, and that
$4,000 can and will be raised for
the building of that portion assigned
to Darke county. Almost every
body here wants a railroad running
north and south, and it is possible
that very strong effort will be made
in that direction.

From ON Regular correspondent.

&WAsHiNeroN, D.. c.,
Eco. f6. 1881.
At this writing the houseis wrang
ling through the fifth day on the
River and Harbor bill. There is al
most certainty of the passage of
the bill, but its opponents seem de-
termined to defeat itif possible. The
end of the session being SO near, and
the appropriation bills being SC. far
behind, the prolonged consideration
of this bill may lead to an extra ses-
sion.
Two appropriation bills-the gen
eral deficiency and the sundry civil
are yet unreported to the House.
One other is in the hands of "a Con-
ference Committee, one has passed
both Houses and been signed by Mr..
Hayes, and the others are under con
sideration in the Senate. Besides
the time necessarily to be spent upon
these, and that occupied upon private
bills and in discussions of irrelevant
questionable latter an evil never
more extensively indtlged in than
during the present session-there
must be several days spent upon the
funding bill. The Senate, as indi-
Gated by its action yesterday, will
fix upon 81 per cent. interest for the
obligations to be issued under this
bill, and that is sure to provoke con:
siderable debate when the bill gets
back to the House. From this
statement of the condition of affairs,
and the fact that so few days of the
session are left, it will be seer that
very important measures must re
main ~nndisposed of or be very hasti-
ly acted on.
Mr.. Townshend, of Illinois, one of
the most thoughtful and most active
of Representatives, approaching the
bad policy of having extra sessions
and Of ~slightingly by performing
Legislative work, introduced a bill
the other day providing an earlier
meeting of Congress- November
instead of December meeting. ,
Subsidies, so called, have been
beaten whenever discovered during
the session. The two men who suf
fer most from this are Capt. James
B. Eads, and John Roach. They
are, however, the two most persis-
tent men who ever sat at the doors
or Congress, and defeat only drives
them to new and greater efforts.
Concurrent reports as to Cabinet
places under Garfield are to the eff
feet that Senator Conkling is to be
satisfied. Just what form his recog-
milton will be in is not stated, but
the fact that he is at this time ON a
visit to the President elect, on the
latter's invitation and that he would
never have accepted such an invita-.
tion unless he had assurances, which,
whether general or definite, were
satisfactory, may be taken as proof
there is harmony between the next
President and the chief of the Grant
forces. Senator Blaine. the coming
Secretary of State, is expected to re
sign his place in the Senate early
next week. He is now confined to
his residence with a very painful
sickness.
The arrival of Gen. Garfield in
this city is not now expected until
the last of the month. DEN.
