1t is believed Mr.. Hayes will approve the

republican intention to ALLOW the army bill

any or all of these measures IL Is probable
congress will adjourn without further at
tenpts to present such bills as will please
Mr.. Hayes. There is no good ground of OBJ
lection to any Of the balls, and every demo
crat in the house and senate is satisfied with
them.


Whether to confirm Secretary McCrary or
not-for tine judicial position to which he has
been nominated is a question that agitates a
few democrats here But | do not believe
the opposition to confirmation will he serl-
ous. All that is said against HIM Is that he
agreed to and perhaps helped to prepare the
veto to the original army bill. That was not
a very grave oifense, however just and prop

The right to veto is As good as that to pass
bill Mr. McCrary. beth rs congressman ana
secretary of war, has discharged his duties
faithfully. He has the necessary legal
knowledge and the pure personal character
to fit him for the bench, and unless reJect!ons
for such offences are to be because of differ
ences in politics, see no reason for one IN
this case.


Reports from Ohio are of the most encour-
aging character. Tae admirable candidates
of the democratic party give an interest TO

not doubted that the tic iet is stronger than

enough to carry the state.

We publish tne sad news of the death of tine
young Prince Imperial OF France, who was.
Killed by the Zplus in South Africa. it will
be remembered that but short li,..-a since
he left the land of his exile, and went forth
like knight of the olden time to fight the
enemies of the country who had succored his
family In their hour OF distress. His death
will end the greatest romance OF modern his
tory, and is the death blow to Imperialism
in France, for Napoleon and his sons are the
only living representatives of Imperialism,
and are decidedly unpopular in their native
country. His mother, the ex- x-Empress Eu-
genie, will receive the sympathy of the whole
civilized world in this, her hour of atflict;on.
But few short years ago she was in the
height of power, her widest dreams of ambi-
ton were satisfied and she was empress of
one of the most powerful and prosperous
countries on the earth. The Pranco-German
war ending with Sedan demolished the finest
structure ever built by an adventurer With
her husband and son she went into exile in
England, then her husband died and her son
was all she had left 10 her :; he left against
her wishes and now her last prop is gone and
she is left with only friends to comfort her
Truly she has found glory and ambition TO
be Dead Sea fruit, and is 10 be pitied more
than any other living woman.

The SLAUGHTERED INDIANS. In letter

took place, and dill not get 10 hear of it.
that Is no reason why it should not have oc-

to his knowledge arises from the fact that
he was going to Boise as a member of the
legislative council, and on that account il
WAS considered necessary that nothing shouid
be said to him on the subject. Mr.. Wiley
asks us to ten the names OF the participants
in the action. This We could do very easily.

cold blooded murder of their friends and

PROCTOR KNOTT on HAyEs.-The Report
Of Proctor Knott of Kentucky upon the veto
message of Hayes concerning the use of
troops at the polls, is an able paper. 1t cites
the language of the message and then shows
wherein it is in conflict with the constitution
and the spirit OF American institutions. 1t
arraigns the fraud oi the white house. and in
mastery manner proves upon him the dispo-
sitiOn to trample down the reserved rights OF
the states and TO subvert the civil authority
by the domination OF the army at the will OF
the executive. Mr.. Knott convicts Hayes
Of duplicity and the boldest sophistry, in
every respect As a campaigning document
his report will doubtless be of much value


Il cannot prevail with Hayes, because he is
in the hands of the "stalwarts OF his party
but it can hardly fail to have weight with
many honest radicals, who are not prepared
to support the doctrine that the military
power shall override the civil authority.

UP THEY Go!-Msny persons have been dis
.atisfied because we would not put the subscrip-
tion price of the Chief down to g. so year. The
papers all over the country, seemingly wiling to
take anything in order to get q subscriber, we're
putting down the price. We proposed to charge
price at which we could publish paper, and
give our subscribers all they honestly paid for
not take half or three fourths price from them,
and then perhaps suspend, and swindle them sut
of the principal part of that. The man who
pays for the Chief, will get every paper he pays
for, unless some calamity occurs that cannot be
foreseen or guarded against. But now the price
of printing paper is going up fearfully. 1t has
doubled since the first Of October The papers
that reduced their price, are now notifying their
subscribers that they are compelled to put it up
again, and that they must pay s2 year. The
Ch, not having crippled itself by trying to print
. paper at less than cost, will remain at the
same old price. The extra expense we will
stand, so that our patrons will not feel the rise
in price.

Let him spend half that amount, or even rs

STATE SCHOOL TAx.-The Girard Press refers
us to the law on the question, by which it seems
we were only partly right in our idea of the
State school fund. Beside the interest arising
from the State school fund, the annual State

Companies, go to make up the semi annual div

remain, aud will be divided, as usual, aud the
fund will fall short only the amount of the one

A GREAT HARDsHIP-Gov. Robinson, of New
York, is discouraged by his defeat for reelec
ton. He says he is done with politics, as can.
didate for Office and remarks bi ttcrly, that the
Catholic priests arc responsible for bis defeat I;
that, although they may not have directly ad-
vised Catholics to vote against him, they did
not discourage their voting for Kelly instead Of
him. Hasit got to be part of the Democratic
plan of campaign, that the Catholic priests arc
expected to dragon their people into voting the
Democratic tickstf Gov. Robson talks as If it
were one of their solemn obligations, and that
they were reereant TO their dnty in refusing or
neglecting TO do SO. From the signs of the times,
not only in New York, but elsewhere, the Cath
olic priesthood is beginning to demur to being
made part aud parcel of Democratic campaign
machinery. The one great end at which the
Catholic Clergy aim, is The welfare and advance
D.. ment of their Church. To accomplish this, they
want the good will Of all parties. They see that
the best policy is not to become the instruments
to do the work of one political party, thereby
incurring the enmity and opposition ofother p ar
ties. Hence, We begin to see q marked change
in the political action Of the priesthood. They
either stand aloof, leaving their members to
vote as they choose, or make their influence felt
in favor of the party that their sympathies are
with. There is preceptible wsvering of the
solid Catholic phalanx that used to march up
and vote the Democratic ticket, aud here, there,
and everywhere, We find numerous individual
members, men of information and liberal views,
attaching themselves TO the Republican party.
And why noti The great lights of the Catholic
Church have united in condemning slavery, the
former bond of strength Of the Democratic par
ty; and now that the marrow and essence Of
the party is hatred and revenge for the over
throw of slavery, there is certainly nothing en-
ticing TO the Catholic Church, and nothing that
can advance its interests, iu hugging and trying
to resurrect that monster of barbarism.

The funeral of Mrs. TilIie p. Hoch-
keppel took place from her late residence,
No. TIT Tatnall street, yesterday after
noon, at three O'Clock. The funeral was,
it is said, the largest that has ever taken
place in this city, and persons who were
present estimate the attendance ut about
seven thousand. Both sides of the side
walks were crowded with people from the
house to the grave yard.


The remains were encased in a beau
tiful casket, heavily silver mounted. The
body was dressed in white satin. By her
request she was buried in the vault of
her father, with her babe, that died on
the 4th of July last. She had large
circle of friends, who deeply mourn her
loss.


The cause of the funeral being so
largely attended, was owing,no doubt,to
the fact that some difficulty had arisen
between her husband and the Catholic
Church, to which she belonged, and un-
der the ministration of which she died.

Special correspondence of the Gazette.


New CASTLE, Dec. 7.-Saturday
usheTed In a storm with a small fracas,
in Dobblnsville, arising out Of an old
feud which had been brought down 10
US from Coatesville, by a colony from
that section who took up quarters Id TINS

strong talk, with a few blows, and Its
course was run. A shower or two OF
rain during the day seemed TO bring with

failing to harm each other, laid down
and slept. During the afternoon fight

demurred and citizen was requested to
leud aid to the officer who refusing to

breaking of the peace. His friend who
