A great local excitement cita In the
city of Chicago n local war Is raging.
Tho tax-payers, the solid, iilnlanlial, re
spectable citizens rnv arrayed agalml tho
"bummers, " the "scalawags," the "bal-
Intbnx Htufters," the mob of office-hold
er!! who uphold nnd support a corrupt
city government. At nn election hold in
South Chicago, a lew days ngo. the bal
lot-box staffers carried the day.
"On the day of election," nays the Chi
cago Tribune, "there were n Republican
'ticket nnd a Democratic ticket; Mike
'Evans was on the Democratic ticket for
'Collector, and Pat O'llrlcu was running
1 in opposition to him. No other enndl
' dates had been announced; no tickets
'were circulated or seen anywhere with
'other names on them; hut, when the
result was declared, It was
'found that the notorious Kd
runups was eiecieu assessor,
mo cfpinuy notorious uicasou was
'elected clerk, and a fellow named Ityau
supcrvwor. So Ignorant were tho cltl
zens wno nail given the whole day to
'the election that Phillips wns a candidate,
tliey contented ut midnight that he
'should bd one of the two men who
should remain all night to cuard the
'ballot-boxes against any tampering I It
was not known or stispectrd until the
the ballots from all the boxes of the
six wards had been thrown Into a com-
'mon pile, and then opened, that either
'Phillips or aicasou was n candidate.
The Moderator declared that each had
'received nearly four thousand votes from
'a people who were profoundly Irnor-
'ant that either of them was a candidate."
The result of this election In South
Chicago the conviction felt by every re
spectable citizen that tho municipal gov
ernment Is run In the Interest ol a ring
or corrupt men has aroused a statu of
excitement that has never existed in that
city bclore. On next Tuesday an election
for city officers and un entire board of id
dermen takes place. " Mayor Colvin, elect
ed under a special charter and who has
held his office through legal technlwihtles,
Is regarded as tho head and lront of the
municipal corruptions. The decent citi
zens want him to get down nnd out, so
that a mayor, acceptable to and repre
senting the respectable clement of the
city, may be elected. Colvin shows a
disposition to hold on, and Is backed
oy a mou ot place-holders as
corrupt us himself. The like
lihood that the frauds of the South Town
election may be repeated In the general
city clcctlon.hu moved the people of Chi
cago, as with one Impulse, to take ex
traordinary measures to secure an honest
city government and to restore
the purity ot the ballot-box.
Mass meetings have beeti held,
and so great Is the excitement, that
on the platlonn with the merchant, and
the lawyers and the business men of the
city, have been seated such men as Prof.
Swing and the llcv. Mr. Mitchell, both
of whom addressed the meetings In be
half ot a good, aud against tho present
corrupt, ballot-box stuffing city govern
ment. A provlonal government, vigilance
committees, etc., arc threatened, and
threatened in such terms that there Is no
mistaking tho deep-seated determination
of the reputable element In Chicago to
take aud hold the municipal reins.

Senator Key, the Democratic successor
In the United States Senate to Andrew

ty. In the debate in the Senate on the
resolutions Introduced by Senator Morton
to investigate the Mississippi elections,
Senator Key made a speech remarkable
In many respects, coming from an ac

clared that the Issues Involved lu the late

of the poverty of the KoutW : of lis tar.lv
progress under the new order of things;
oi us inauiiiiy to resist tliu authority
ol the government, and of Its great need
ot tnc protection and tho security which
the enforcement bf the law can give to It.

why, If the laws had been .so ffngiantly

his fearlessness of the proposed Investi

large, and then, of course, strangers will
always throng wherever a peep may lo

of president demands our respect, what
ever may be our sentiments concerning
the Individual occupying tho place. Be
fore the hour ol service the
pews are filled; folding chairs
are placed In double rows
down the wide aisles aud the galleries are
crowded. One pew remains open till the
opening hymn has been sung, very oltcn
till the opening prajer has been offered ;
then there Is a bit of polite rustle and
stir; a leveling ot all eyes in one direc
tion, while President Grant threads his
way between those chairs, closely follow

that Senator Logan Is a member of this

THK CATHOLIC Clll'liCltHS
embrace In their membership n very dil
lercnt elass from tho-e frequenting their
altars In the North. .Maryland has al
ways been a Catholic State, whose old
families handed down their religion
with their estate, and very many proml
iicnt, oiiiccrs ot tnc army ami navy nrc
iidhernntsof this creed. The wife of Gen
Sherman is n devout Catholic, whose
zeal Is well known ; Senator Kernan nnd
his family are alhollcs, while any Cath
olic charity holding a fair Is sure to show
the beauty and grace of our farest belles
behind the tempting tables. St. Aloy-
Islns church, though most remotely lo
catcd, Is always crowded on Suiidav after
noons, for the music of Its vesper ser
vice Is wonderfully perfect. St.
Matthew's shrine on H. street Is in the
midst of lasblonabln residences mid one
may always see Its worshippers coming
aud going. Indeed It Is quite ns frequent
In Washington to .see ladles In street cars
clasping prayer-books lu their hands, as
in other cities you notice the porte-uiou-nalc
con-plciiousiy held. Kspccially is
this the case during Lent. Out on Fifth-
tcenth street the colored people have
thelrown chapel, called St. Augttsteu's
church. To this race, so fond of light,
nnd music and color, the ceremonial of
the Catholic church appeals very
strongly. Their wild emotions find
gratlllea'lon, yet they arc restrained, and
every month many new converts nro bap
tized. This fast assumes a political sig
ulllcanccof great importance when we
consider how docile are these people, and
how eagerly they follow a leadership
which has once gained their affections.
The mission and charities ot the Catho
lic churches, arc a shame to all other
chrlstalns. Censure them and criticise
them as bitterly as you can. but you
mut admit the untiring zeal aud devc
tlon of the Pope's adherents.
Tin: n.wTisTS
have ten religious organizations. Very
prominent among these Is the Calvary
church on Klghlh street. This was built
by Amos Kendall and given to the church
with the curious proviso that should dis
sensions occur Involving the dlsmUsIal of
a pastor and the vacancy of the pulpit for
a year, the property should revert to hU
heirs. Last .May Dr. Parker was dis
missed. Since then the congregation has
been served by candidates till it was
well nigh Impossible for them
to know what they did
want. The year was rapidly drawing to
a close, aud last week a formal call was
extended to a Massachusetts clergyman,
though many of the p-ople would have
preferred Uev. Matthew Vasar, nephew
ana namesake or the man who-o money
founded Vassar college.
The Christian Baptists or Disciples have
only ono small church, but several distin
guished people are among its communi
cants. Gen. Garfield, the popular and
eloquent congressman from Ohio, was
formerly a minister of the faith, and
Treasurer New with his pretty wife is
often seen there.
The Unitarians have a sanctuary on K
street, where wise men from the Hast are
wont to gather. Bostonlans drift there
naturally, and people who are fastidious"
are very apt to hear from that pulpit
thocrles which agree with thelrown will
ing belief. Then the Lutherans come
with their devout crowd ; the Quakers
havo two places of worship, and the Unl
vcrsnllsts are forming a society lu Tnl
inadgo hall. At the Coii'-regatlonal
church many Now Knglanders ure found :
Postmaster-Gen. Jewell with his family,
Senator Davis, Mr. Frost, of Boston; Prof.

St John's Is, I believe, considered slightly
more aristocratic than any other. The
building Is old and shabby, but Its very
nge makes It more sacred lu tho thought
or those who worship there. Secretary
