The Bishop of Orleans has received the follow
ing letter from the Pope eongratulating him on
his pamphlet against Freemasonry


VENERABLE BROTHER :-SalutatiOn and apos-
tolic benediction. In this war waged on all sides
against the Catholic Church by the Masonic sect,
yonr publication was most useful and opportune,
especially because this sect, long secret has now
unmasked Itself. Ii ayOws its designs, and IN
certain country, not aniler the pretext Of public
rights, out IN Its own name, does guilty battle
with the Church. IL is useful, because the NO.
farlous character of the sect being known, there
is no honest man who must not turn from il with
horror, and perhaps many members who do not
know the secret mysteries will now withdraw
What Is particularly useful is the perspicacity
with which you demonstrate to all attentive
minds the real tendency of the taking words.
Fraternity and Equality" which have deceived
and seduced so many, and the true origin and
object of the much boasted liberties of conscience,
OF public worship, and of the press. After read
ing your work, nobody can donbt that all this
came from freemasonry to overturn civil and re-
hglous order, and consequently the Church has
wisely condemned those who practice and de-
fend snch liberties. 1t is manifest that all par
tlsans OF these liberties albeit unknown to them
selves, favor the Masonic sect, and the more hon
est they are the more disastrous is their support
to such principles. We therefore wish you ma
ny intelligent readers, for it is no small advant-
age to perceive the snare, and as pledge of Di-
vine favor and our special good will, we give
you, venerable brother, from the bottom of our
heart, TO You and your diocese, our Apostolic
benediction.

ABOUT GDETEcTIvEs."-T Wathena Reporter,
last week, undertook to explain the business OF
the County Board allowing men pay for hunting
their own stolen property-and a lame explana-
ton it was, too. 1t said that the County had to
pay officers for catching those thieves, and that
it might as well appoint one of its own members
as an outsider, when he was as well qualified for
the duty. We did not wish to make any mis-
statements in the matter, and do not think we
did. 1t is not the duty of the County Board to
appoint officers 20 hunt stolen property. The
law provides officers to make searches and ar
rests, but gives no authority to hunt for any
mans stolen stock. That is a matter that
must be paid for by the loser of the property.


Then, as regards the detection and punishment
of the cattle thieves at st. Joe. Mr.. Hayton did
not detect them, nor secure their conviction. He
went to look for his cattle, after the arrest of
those men. 1t was Charley Burkhalter who
made the discovery that the same persons had
stolen Hayton's property, and that they had also
stolen steer from him. Burkhalter also had a
horse stolen and spent the value of him in search
ing for him. He never got cent for this; and
if pay was due from the County for discovering
who stole the cattle, he was the man entitled to
it, not Hayton.


We insist that the Chief did not misrepresent
any person in this matter, but simply stated
facts.


We understand that the impression prevails in
the northern part of the County, that Mr. Jones
was the Commissioner referred to- who received
SIS for hunting his cattle. Such was not the
case,

A DIRTY MEss.-Last weeks Wathena Reporter
was filed inside and ont, with the grossest abuse
of the Republican candidates, the Convention
that nominated them, and the party that sup
ported them. There was not an honest or re-
spectacle man among them. The work was too
much for the editor of the Reporter, and a super
numerary was picked up to assist in the business.
Four hundred extra copies were purchased by
the candidates on the Peoples ticket, and one of
them rode, all day Saturday and Sunday, through
Wolf River and Iowa Township, distributing
this stuff. That candidate was defeated, and it
served him right.


We might have initiated this champion of de-
corum and decency, and filed the Chief with
scandalous reports against the candidates on the
Peoples ticket; but we preferred to treat them
as honorable gentlemen, so that We could meet
them at any time hereafter, without being under
the necessity of sneaking to them and apologiz-
ing for abusing them in order to affect the result
of little election.

A NEW CANDIDATE WITH PoRTENTOUS CLAIMS.
The Ohio election prognos;icates no good to
any of the Republican Presidential candidates
who have been, heretofore prominent in the
field. 1t brings forward at once into the front
rank new candidate with portentOus claims.
Gov. Hayes has suddenly assumed the leading
position in his party. For although nothing can
be more certain than that the election of Tues
day was in no just sense of the word a Republ-
can victory, the battle having been fought and
won upon an issue which the Republicans of
Ohio even never deliberately accepted party
issue, and on which the Republican party of the
Union at large cannot pretend to go before the
country until it has burned all its records of the
last fourteen years, yet the better portion Of the Re
