AN INTERESTING QUESTION.
Il Ecclesiastical Property Liable for
the Debts Contracted bY q BishOp?

CINCINNATI. March 2S.-Next Tuesday is
the day set for the hearing in the District
Court of the case. wherein the assignee OF
Archbishop Purcell seeks to recove- all the
Ecclesiastical property of this diocese to
satisfy the claims OF the Arch biship's cred
itors. The general line OF testimony will
be something as .ollows: The assignee will
open with the introduction OF all the deeds,
thereby making out a prima facie case.
The defense will then present the deposi-
tions of many of the most prominent
Archbishops and professors of canon law in
this country to show that church property
cannot be taken to satisfy personal debts OF
an Archbishop arising from trusts assumed
by him. Prominent Bishops and Arch
bishops will be called to testify, among
them Bishop Gilmour and Archbishop
Gibbons, of Baltimore. After this rebut-
ting testimony will be introduced for the
purpose of tracing ihe trust funds into the
churches. The property involved is valued
at 81 100000

Special 20 the Reoiaer.
SrEUBEsvILLE, March 2s.-Local politics
are booming in this city at present, and as
April Sd draws nigh, the excitement in
creases.
The judicial contest attracts the most at
tention, and both candidates are putting in
their best licks for success. Trainer, the
Democratic candidate, at this writing, seems
to have the inside track. The Republicans,
and especially the friends Of McCurdy, who
was defeated at the Uhrichsville covention,
as they claim, by friends, are very sore at
Col. Pearce and his frauds, and are luke
warm, while many declare openly that
they will not support him at all.
The Democrats are delighted with
Mr.. Trainer as their nominee, and
are working like beavers for his cleo
ton. Besides all this, Trainer is so well
known throughout the district as an able
advocate, man with Thorough knowledge
of the law, close student and an honest
lawyer, that there are many Republicans
VINO never SCralCncu UChet III tnelr
lives, who have signitied their intention Of
supporting him.
The Steubenville Herald has attacked Mr..
Trainers war record, and claims that be.
cause he never wore epaulets and smelled
powder. he is not MT for judge. But the
people in this district are not slaves to the
bloody shirt, and are of the opinion that q
man neither has to wear the uniform to
make a Judge of a court, or have his teeth
pulled-to avoid the draft-to make an
editor.
By the lawyers OF both parties Trainer is
acknowledged TO be head and shoulders
above his opponent, legally and otherwise,
and as they ought Ia be the ones to judge
OF mans legal abilities, there is no dis
putting this fact.
The judicial contest takes the interest
away from the city election, but both par
ties are doing some work for their respec'
tive tickets The councilmanic ticket in
the Fourth ward attracts the most atten-
tion. Brady, the present incumbent from
that ward, has been Penominated by the
Democrats, and Kennedy Crumrine is the
Republican candidate. Although the ward
is Republican, there is little doubt that
Brady will be reelected. Dos.

CRrTICISING ARTHUR.
Too Slow i'm Making HIS Appointments
The Administration a close COrpo-


WASHINGTON, March 2S.-The dissatisfac-
ton of Republican Senators, at what they
consider the unnecessary dilatOrinesS Of
the President in making appointments, is
gaining expression daily, and grumbling
increases. Last Saturday half dozen or
so of Republican Senators, who happened
to meet at the Capitol, discussed PreSidea.
tial tardineSs with some warmth, and COM
mented freely upon what they regarded as
the favoritism shown certain Senators.
II was remarked at this gathering that
both Massachusetts, Senators had been
sighted and neglected; that the custom
house appointments in Boston had been
vacant some weeks. and though both Sen
ators urged daily the filling OF them, the
President had taken no action at all.
One Senator remarked that it looked TO
him as though the Administration was a
close corporation, made up of leading Stall
warts, including several Senators. 1t was
said that no Senators except Logan and
Don Cameron could get any appointments,
and that they seemed to get anything they
wanted.
This subject i subject of everyday talk
now between Republican Senator's, and the
criticisms and complaints that were re-
Gently whispered are now loudly spoken.
