by this Government and the principles sE-

Secretary of State, meet with our unquah-

The Constitution Of the United States
provides that no religious test shall ever
be required as g qualification to any office
or public trust under the United States
and whilst sincerely anxious TO maintain
friendly relations with Austria. Hungary,
and all other nations, the people
of the United States deny the right
Of any foreign government to assert against
any citizen Of this country disq1ahhestion
for oflce By reason of his religious belief
or that of his family,
Mr.. Vest said: The Government OF the
United States would have recognized the
right of the Austrian government to object
10 Mr.. Kelley on personal grounds if he
had been personally Objectionable to that
government. But when the austrian gov
srument puts its objection on the ground
that Mr.. keiley's wife entertained certain
religious opinions the government was
sound by the provisions Of its constitution
and trs ditions aud opinions OF itsp'ople 10

land. If the Parnellits faction does not
succeed wholly in its endeavor to sever the
union by degrees, one Of the first points
which will seek to obtain will be the complete
control Of educational matters. This
would give Parnellites control over the
rising generation, while the command OF
the police would make them masters Of
the present generation. If the police
should be commanded by Mr.. Psrnelrs
nominees, as would certainly be the case,
in the event OF the Parnelites demands
being granted, the Loyalists would be
placed in worse position than
that of their ancestors under
the rule Of Tyrconnel. The slightest
relaxation OF the ties Of union will eyentu-
ate in the ultimate ruin Of the country.
II will establish q drill ground for hostile
armies and dock yards tor foreign fleets in
the most valuable part OF the empire. There
fore we appeal to those realizing our i'm
rninaut peril to stand shoulder to shoulder
in defense OF union and Of promotion OF
the cause OF loyalty for God, the Queen
and the country. The manifesto is signed
By Lords Erne and Eamskillen.

A vast deal of complaint is being made
here with regard to the night trains on the
B. & o. railroad not stopping q sufficient
length of time to permit passengers to
descend therefrom in safety, also that
the conductor and brakemen on some
of those trains make no effort
whatsoever to sssiSt passengers to slight.
For illustration Of this, We cite the follow.
ing example, which was given us for that
purpose: Last Saturday night prominent
citizen and his wife returned from Wheel
ing on the train which leaves that city ct

called out they gathered up their packages
and parcels and hsstened TO the end of the
car. The gentleman stepped OF. and ere
lis wife could do %, the train was again IN
motion, and, encountered ss she was with
packages, the lady would have fallen from
the moving train but for the timely assist
ance of another passenger. She states
that neither brakeman nor conductor were
TO be seen. Several accidents have oc
CURED heretofore in the same way. one Of
which g few months since proved fatal
The B. i o. in general is very sccommo'
dating and should avoid giving grounds
for complaint on this score.
