VdroUt THE TIUDUSK COMPANY. CUcacO, IQ, Chicago Tribune for tho Campaign* The great Presidential campaign tor IcCS will commence on the SOIL of May, avwhlch time the Republican National Convention will be held. TnE Chicago Tbieuke will publish a- rerbalim report of the proceedings of the convention, and will support its nominees with iis accustomed vigor. The principal Issue of the campaign will relate to the recon struction policy of Congress as opposed to that of Andrew Johnson and the Dcm ocra’ic parly. The Republican parly hold that In the creation of new govern ments in the seceding’States, both public and private safety require that all citi zens should enjoy equal rights. An drew Johnson and the Democratic - party hold that a monopoly of political i-ghls and privilegej should be conferred upon conquered traitor?, and thus tnat opportunity should be given them, through the instrumentality of Iccal laws, lo wreak vengeance upon vhe loyal portion of the community, both whites and blacks, and even lo reduce the litter again to slavery. The oobey of Congress has achieved an important triumph by the adoption of constitutions, in six of the seceding S , a*e'», based upon impartial suffrage. It will be the aim of the Republican party, under the leader ship of GENERAL ULTSStS S.- GRANT, to carry forward the work so uu i piciously begun. To what extent the -various questions relating to the national finances may tnUT into the contest cannot be known v,ith certainty until the Democratic Na tional Convention shall assemble. The Chicago TnrnrsE is opposed to repudi ation in every form, and in favor of those measures only which shall tend to lift up the public credit and Improve the value ted purchasing power of the currency. The first number of The Campaign Weeket Tjubcne will be issued on the 2S'h day of May, and will contain a com plete report of ihejirocoedtogs ofthe Republican National Convention. It will be publishes during twenty-four weeks. lu addition to Us own discus sions oi the issues of the campaign, it will contain reports of public meetings held In all parts of the country, and es pecially (-1 those occurring in the North west, together with Important speeches and documents. The last number will Le issued on the 12th of November, giv ing full and complete returns of the election.

The State Penitentiary Coder Hepab* llcftn Ram cement* The Comotlsfiloserfi of the Illinois Peniten tiary, under the tet passed by the special Ks.-lon of the Legislature is Jsoe last, will become elective by tlpe pconle os' and alter the present year. Messrs. Shuman, Logan and Held, the present Commissioners, were appointed by tbc Governor and confirmed by the Senate, to take charge of and manage the institution until .Tannery 1,1509, at which litre the three Commissioners, to be elected next November, will succeed them, one for two, one for lour and the third fbr six years, to be dccjoed;by lot on entering upon their cfficinl duties. Each of the Commissioners Is required to give bonds In the sum of $50,000, with good and sufficient sureties," and each receives an annual salary of $1,509 and they are.allowed nothing for mileage or other personal expense*. There Is no official position In connection with our State Gov ernment in which honest and capable men can do more good, or save more to the Treas ury by upright and economical management tbau-tbat of Penitentiary Commissioner; mr Is. there one'in which dishonest or uclailhful men can do more mischief, or, by official extravagance and corrupt practices, do more to increase the tmruen of taxation. Hence It la highly -Important that the Republican parly should be circumspect lu its choice of candidates. The party which, during the past dozen .years, by fanning out the convict labor to .needy politicians and fpeculators, has caused, on an average, over SIOO,IOO a year to be drawn from the State Treasury, for Penitentiary purposes, has n-mlnated three candidates—brought into the field by the old Buckmaster dynasty. The new Penitentiary system inaugurated by the present, Commissioner* is working admirably. The Commissioners and their Warden have the extensive Institution and all Its concerns well in hand, and they are managing it with humanity, economy and success, rntwilbstardlog the efforts of the old '‘Penitentiary ring" to embarrass their t-mlucss operations ouUld*, and -to cause mutiny ard other troubles inside. The dis cipline and government of the convicts, which Is b&ied upon humanizing and reform atory principles, rather than upon Ihe former barbaric methods of treatment, arc, wc are adored, more satisfactory and beneficial, and at the same lime more thorough, than at any time since the institution has been located at Joliet; and at tbc saoie time The convicts, of whom there are now to the neighborhood of 1,100, are belter fed, 1a bet ter general health, kept in better subjection, and doing more work, than ever before. These tacts are highly gratifying. But equally gratifying Is the financial de partment oi the Penitentiary, under the present careful management. We have be fore ns an abstract report, from Warden Dornblaxer, of the expenses and earnings of tbe Institution during the last quarter, end ing March 31—the poorest'quarter of the whole year In which to make an exhibit, in aimnch as the number of working hours each day are smaller, and the expense* for lights and fed larger, than during any other part of tbe year. litre are the figures: Average nnabcrcf convicts .

Thu body, .the supreme ecclesiastical council of the Methodist Church, is to meet in this city on next Friday, the first day of May. Us members are elected from the sev eral annual conferences, each annual confer ence being represented according to its mem bership. The whole number of delegates Is about two hundred and fifty. . It Is wholly clerical lo Us constitution. It is the legisla tive body of the Church, and the entire body ofMelhcdlatlaw, with some constitutional limitations, is subject to modification at Us hands. To It all trials of clergymen may bo carritd by appeal. It is the supreme judi ciary, and its decision of law question* Is final. Tho. editors of official publications, the agents in charge of the vast publishing interests of tho denomination, the Corre sponding Secretaries of Hie Missionary and other societies of the Church, all receive their election from the General Conference. All of thtsc officers, except that of Bishop/ which Is for life, arc held for a term of four, jtars. Thus the present session of the con ference will fill about twenty of the highest offices in the Chnrch. As a matter of course .there are candidates ready to serve the Church In these positions, and the qualifications of eminent divines for these offices arc already, freely canvassed. The General Conference will represent a con slitotney of twelve hundred thousand actual communicants. No single denomination in -the country wields so vast on Influence over the masse* of the American people. It Is es-, Umatcd that fully cue fifth of the entire pop-. ulation ofthe country are under Methodist tep chirgs. It is but n hundred years since lu. advent to this continent, but the lndef*U-‘ ; gable real of its itinerant ministry, and the) indomitable perseverance with which their; work has been prosecuted, have made It the most numerous Protestant body on the continent. The übiquitous “circuit Hdire,” wbore preaching followed close upon the sound ofthe hnatcr’a rifle, b.ive been the. huilders of IWs vast Church. Scott’s descrip tion ofthe eager impetuosity of Loeblnvar ; “ Ce »ytd n% lor breke, he stepped not for Ec swam the Eske Hirer, where fjrd there an _ core”— Is a fit type of the everyday life oi an 1 ciriy Mctbod'st itinerant. And much the' Bjine carcestoee? iaielt today, and the same success is realized. The last year’s statistic* s-how anetlncreaseofmore than a hundred thousand members in twelve months. - The most Important question to come be-, fore tbo present session will be that of the; admission of laymen a? delegates to the An-, nuol Conference. When the Church was first; organized this was an impossibility. Laymen did not call the .ministers, but the preacher went oat to call a people, to plant a church where there was none. The churches, when; planted, were gatherings of poor, people. \ The conference qeesllons were wholly cede tissUcal, and the people were contented to leave them to the ministry. Now, however, the Methodist laity are wealthy, liberal and cultivated. Vast educational acd benevolent Interests are to-be managed, and there Is a propriety In Inviting the layman who gives money to take a part In the legislation by which it Is expended. Of the probability of a final settlement of the question at this ses sion, wc can offer no well-founded conjecture, the questions involved being complicated and difficult of adjustment. The selection of the new UUhops, like all personal questions, Is sure to be exciting. Wc hear many names mentioned, bat It will be time enough to guess when the election Is over. Cne of the most Interesting features to the meeting win be theattebfimcc of Key. William* Morley Pnnsbon, 'the celebrated English orator' as a delegate from the British Conference. Mr. Punsbon fa one of the most eloquent and polished pulpit orators in the world, and bnr cltirens will donbiless have frequent opportunities of bearing him. The Pendleton Plan or Repudiation* As there can be no more fatal calamity to a State thou the loss of national credit, so there can be no policy proposed against which the people should be more constantly warned than that which impairs or destroys it. The Democratic party by speech, resdlo. lion and newspaper articles insist upon’ the policy of cancelling the national bonds with greenbacks. The Chicago Timet thus refers to the subject: ”1 be Jacobin press is exceedingly Impudent in Its constant reiteration of the charges that tbo redemption oftho nve twenty bonus in treafujv notes weald taTepadttttoo, tad that tbo financial policy advocated or Mr. I’eodietan is intended tolcadtoaotbatreult. • • • • • -air. Pendleton's phn hat nothing about it which savors of repualation. He proposes sltap'T Lo pty the bondholder* according to the bargain ihe government made wtta them " It will be noticed that no advocate' of the “Pendleton plan" in theNorthernStatesev.r ventures to tell what that plan Is; but In the South, where “Democratic policy" means the consolidation of the rebel debt »Ith that of the Union, or the repudiation of both, tbe Pendleton plan Is championed, be cause it is Intended “to release the Southern “people from the degradation of paying the “ ecst of their own subjugation." The near est approach we can get from the Chicago ZV/nf#, to a definition of the PcndletoO'plan, is that given In the vagno and indefinite sen fences we have cited. Tbc bargain the government made vlthlts creditors was that It would pay them the amount of the loans with Interest at each time (alter five years and not later than twenty years), as the government might se lect. How pay f By the issue of another bond bearing ho interest, and with no time specified for Us redemption? The value of an obligation of a government or of au in dividual consists, first In Its rate ol Interest, iand second In the degree of certainty which attaches to the repayment of the prindpla. When a government is not able to pay its debts on demand, it neces sarily issues an acknowledgment of the debt, and pays Interest thereon until such time as It can pay the principal. To “pay" the debt by the issue of another note, bearing no interest and having no time fixed for Its redemption, Is as clear re pudiation os if payment were arbitrarily re fused. If the government issoe greenbacks paya ble on demand, and levy, a lax in gold to. ro detm thegreenbseks on demand, there will bo no repudiation. Bat tbe “ Pendleton plan" contemplates nothing ofthls kind. It Is aimnly * bold proposition to sabstltnte for the national debt an issue of non-iutcrcst-. bearing bonds, having no time for their rs dtmption; and that propoeitlon, we insist, Is brazen repudiation. Suppose Mr. George H. Pendleton owed a million dollars, for which his b*nds, bearing Interest, were outstanding, payable at bis option within twenty years. Suppose, at the expiration of the first five years, he should offer to his creditors bis notes, bearing no Interest and payable never, in sat isfaction -of hit' original obligation, with the threat that unless they ahonld accept snch rotes, they would gcl'nothlog! How' much belter would the notes be than nothing ? The fact that the greenbacks may be made a legal tender is Insisted upon a* a justification for the proposed outrage; bat that would merely enable tbe bondholders to distribute the outrage to the rest of the community. While Congress can make the $2,000,000,000 Pendleton greenbacks legal tenders lor past debts, thereby blotting ont so. much henett debt, no law can give to those cotes a purchasing power. To issue that volnme of legal tenders would be to degrade the value of the currency to such an extent that the government would of necessity have to repudiate It. It would require $2,000,000,000 of that kind of currency to pay tbe expenses -of the government for three months. To Issue that amount of legal ten ders wculd be an instantaneous repudiation of tbc debt, and an extinguishment, of Ihe .national credit. Father BccSrr wad his Political ' Thccrr* Mr.Parionbaa.£lTen,'iuthe Miy.AfZastic, ,-an account cf the conversion to Catholicism of I. T, Hccktr, now known ns Father' Heck er, and of tbe establishment, under his lead ership, of the Ordcrof Panlbts, with the apo dal object of reconciling Catholic faith with • . American Institutions and society.. The la bors of Father Uccker arc widely known. Aa a devoted and eloquent missionary he has attracted the attention of many Protestant inquirers In Ncw England'and New York, and bra won eome converts to bis church •frem the representatives of Extern, culture 'and social petition. The bobby, if we may uvethejerm In an entirely respectful sense, of Father Becker U, tb*t Catholicism lathe natural ally of re* publics uism, and that Protestantism Is a deadly foe to free government. The sincerity cfhls republican [sympathies, and ol hi* -ardent faith in American instltnUoaa, Is bo yred quetlion, but to all appearance the be. ilcf which be entertains, that good Catholics' ■ oaly can be sound republicans, u UtUe more than a reflex of his pcrboual experience. ‘ This belief certainly contradicts the current opinion of observing men, and flics' la the face of tbe facts established by each general 'and special election. ■ The declara tion that Protestantism tends to despotism' and that Catholicism - •loce is the safe-guard of freedom, would be received .vfith a, smile'lf It esme from any .other thin a man of great earnestness and In telligence. The testimony of hiftory la com. rnouly thought to be cotcltuive, that Pope ted priest have ever been fooed the fast fil lies of the tyrant." Priestcraft u regarded by the TMt body ui all democratic people* H tho enemy of popular rights. The church of Father Uccker’a devotion is justly con sidered the most 'eminent illustration of priistcr&it. And today. In fact, there seems -< good ground „to ‘declare’ that the ecclesiastical power of the Catholic Church la a- despotism hi worse thap uny political tyranny. In Austria, for exam- pie, tbo.Catholic rale is* found more galling than that of the Emperor. Tho latter can bo made to yield some respect to popular rights; the former Is Inexorable and intol erant In defiance of the cries of an outraged pioplc. In Spain, Italy and Mexico the au thority of the. Papal -Church. Is •synonymous ; Mth,the.nost Intense hostility to political freedom. How, then, docs Father Heckcr venture the confident assertion that It Is Protestantism which favors despotism ? The explanation of this enigma Is a curi ous one, and one which seems to convict Father Ilcckcr of thoroughly misapprehend ing both his own church and that of the Pro testants. The •'great republican principle, cays our Paullat preacher, Is that man is capable of self-government j’bnt Protestant theologians, from Lather and Calvin down, believe that man is full ot wickedness and hardly capable of improvement. On the con trary, Catholicism teaches that mankind is capable of Indefinite improvement—tint man U not purely a corrupt being. On this dlstine- tion in dogma between the two fklths Father flicker bases his sweeping proposition that nis church alone la tine to repub licanism. Herein he Alls to note three essential points—that Protestants do not carry the logic of their dogma* Into pol itics; that free-thinking, on.the contrary, starting in politics, continually tends to) check and even destroy extreme dotnoas, and that Catholicism, in her chief action in and upon the world/doea not obey the logic of the Ciith which she Is supposed to have in man. In one word, Protestant politics pro ceed upon the basis of faith in man, dogma or no dogma; and Catholic Interference with rights, as in Austria, proceeds, spite of any dogma which may be held, in total disregard of man’s capacity for freedom.

Durant, Sidney Dillon, and their associates, a contract fur the completion' of the road from Cheyenne and Denver City,' all except five hundred thousand dollars to be paid In the stock of the Denver Pacific Railway and Telegraph Company. The work will be fin ished as rapidly as the five hundred thou sand dollars arc expended In grading and tlelng the road. This will sedhre the completion of the work the present year, if the two bandied thousand dollars asked of Chicago for tbo Arapahoe County bonds be-promptly taken. lids matter should be taken hold of by some of our business men, and a canvass made until the bonds are placed. What say you? Shall wo have the trade of Colorado, or shall wo let it still go to St. Louis, mainly, as htretofore ? These bonds, which arc as good as government securities, and are 8 per cents, oughtjto be taken In a day.' No really gcod/rleid of Chicago will fail to do what be can In this work of teeming the road this year. Let onr business men take hold of it and make an organised effort, sod the thing will be done. ESy The new license law of Massachusetts contairs some peculiar provisions. Though framed by the opponents of prohibitory leg islatlon, U recognizes the principle of prohib ition in a section crabling a majority of tbe .voters 'of any town or city to prevent the of licenses to sell liquor to be drunk .on the premises, tbe only exception being In the case of Innkeepers, who may, notwith standing such vote, bo licensed to sell to ;thcir guests. A license may be forfeited by itho sele of liquor to “an Intoxicated person," to a minor, or to any one who by excessive indulgence “injure* his health, exposes his family to want or violence, or the town or city of his settlement to expense." Provi sions are made .'or entrance upon the premises pfthe licensee at any time, for the purpose of analyzing his liquors, the license to be fbr felted In case they prove "Impure or of bad quality." He la not to sell between midnight and five in the morning or on Sunday. A li cense Is to cost from fifty to one hundred dollars, end the licensee must pay in addi tion a percentage upon the gross amount of his sales. Licenses arc to bo granted by tbe County Commissioners, except in Suf folk acd Nantucket, where special Commis sioners for the purpose are to be chosen on the third Monday of May, till which time there would appear to be no law regulating (he i ale of liquors In Massachusetts, all other sets on the subject having been repealed. Governor Bullock kept tbe act In his posses sion until It bccama a law without his rig nature, and then returned it with a message' to the effect that he would not resist tbe will of the people, but that be deemed the meas ure unwise. It Is not likely to remain long upon tbe statute book In its present shape, for the reason that It settles nothing, but keeps the question alive-to bo fought over once a year In every voting precinct in the State.

In the upper part of this city resides the wealthier portion of the community, and It la to thi* wealthier portion that the Episco palians generally belong. They hare already about twice as many churches as they can. dll; and especially in the avenues bounded by Thirtieth and Fiftieth streets, and Third and Eighth avenues, do churches most pro- ! ftuely abound. The most recently erected one is the Church of the Resurrection, an ele-; gant though unpretending structure, under the rectorship of the Rev. Dr. Flagg. It is ofblne stone, bnllt in the Gothic style, and the'lnterior, with Us low massive pillars, re minds one of the earlier English churches. In every respect this, building is an admira ble model of Us kind, and those who are building churches In the West should see It. Mr. Wain right,’a sonof the former Bishop, is the architect. In the Immediate vicinity of this, and on the fashionable Fifth avenue, will soon be erected a new Episcopal house of worship, to be called “The Church of the Heavenly Rest.” It Is really a memorial to the two deceased children of the Rev. Mr. Howland, rector of the Church of the Holy Apostles, on Ninth avenue. This gentleman is that anomaly, a wealthy clergyman. He bought the expensive locality on Fifth avenue him self, and contributes thirty thousand dollar more towi-rds the building. Afriendofhls gives another twenty thonsacd; and with sn additional ten thousand given by other parties, the work starts on a sound basis. The new church win be free t> all who may choose to come,and the services wiu bi con ducted on the High Church system, though without going to the extremes observable at St. Albans. This latter celebrated chmyli Is attracting 89 much attention as ever, chiefly on account of • the unusual vagaries in the service.

Bamboo A Visit to the Lumber Region In the. Vltinltyof eibkoihi Oils, Poa DO Lao, Win., April 27. < To the Editor of The Chicago Tribune; j Now that the badness of the reason Is fair-; !y opened, a word In regard to some of the' badness interests of the State may not be. amiss. A recent trip to the lumber regions' revealed a Lrge business of vital Interest to' onr State. A person wishing to visit that: country needs to take an early morning train fbr Oshkosh, and at 7 a. m. get on board either the steamer Tigress or Northwesters, of the Wolf River line. In former years this route was somewhat avoided, for the reason that the logs running In the river frequently hindered the boats and threw them off from tune. The logs are tow In charge ofa boom company, which Is obliged to keep the char nel clear, so that hereafter this will be one of thcemestand most pleasant .routes In the country. The steamers ire officered by gen-- tkmenwhodo everything for the comfbrt and pleasure of the passengers. . Soon after leaving the enterprising city of Osbkcsb, we were upon the beautiful ’lake Buttet da Jforta, and Just after pass ing an ancient looking village of the some came, we reached the Junction of the Wolf and Fox Rivers. The Wolf Is much the larger stream, al though the name Fox Is retained to Green Bay. But we were soon at the busy village of kVinreeocn*, where' considerable Is done It the line' of ship building. After passing th* little lake of Wloneconue we touched Lake Poygan, a rorgh sheet of water, twelve miles long by eight wide. The “xut-off” is a canal about one-fourth of a long, which was dng aftfw years saves abont eight miles of travel through Lake Poygan.; And here is the lower end of about time miles of boom, to the upper end- of which the logs float .singly. As they pass down tne boom they are not in the vsnons rafts according as they have been marked by the various owners. From the boom they are taken'to Oshkosh. Pond dn Lie and other points by tug steamers. Above the village of Fremont,’we reached Partridge Lake, a small, smooth sheet of water.. Above this point the river is very winding. Several tributary streams, the Wanpacca, the Little ; Wolt, Einharass and others, floaQmHlloos of - Ifd of log* to the main stream each year- a •: fruitful source of wealth for the northern •portion of onr State. This season.ls turn fsually favorable for logging. I The country is, ot course, not at all excel lent for fanning purposes, although the rais ing of hops Is very profitable. A number of villages bare sprang up In various parts of the country, and thelsrge'amountoffrelghta carried by the steamers show a thrifty traffic. The boat line running up the Fox River to Berlin, and connecting with the Wolf River line at Berlin, is doing-a very lively trade. Instant. more business la doing than was an ticipated from the stringency of the money market. C. A madman on His Travels, > PoassTon, lU, April 27. - To tbe Editor of The Chicago Trlbnne: !

A MISSISSIPPI TRAGEDY, A Whole Family Murdered and the Ftrpctrmtors Burned at (be Stake. A brief accoantrOfthe discovery of & mur der perpetrated near Omega Landing od the Mississippi River, baa already appeared. The following terrible details of the sequel are taken from the Vicksburg Timet of the 22d: The citizens living In Ibo vicinity of the scene, Including General William R. Peck, Captain James W. Cavalier and Mr. Geo. P. Dr.weesc,. immediately telegraphed to this city requesting that Deputy Marshal Rrsor bo sent to investigat® the matter, and IfpoislbJe bring the guilty parties to Justice. Having 1 ad much experience In maU.rs of this na ture, Captain Resor tm urobably the very best man In the community who could have been selected to perf:rm the required duty, we have the testimony of those gentle* men whose names we have Just made use of, to the effect that he accomplished the work la a most summary and through manner. Tak>og the first boat he proceeded to Omega Landing, within a mile or two of the Neck, and obtained laformfttlon which on* vincca him tint the criminals had crossed over to tils Slate lu a skiff, sod were making their escape in an eostwardly direc tion. • Accompanied by General Peck and Captain Cavalier, Kescr crossed Into Missis sippi, and by grout energy and perseverance, succeeded in coming up with the fugitives on ibeeecocdday. Four negroes are supposed to have been implicated to the'matter. Two. who are yet at liberty, planned the murder, wodtho two who were ourued at the stake exe cuted the hellish act. The two arrested were taken singly; the first one ackoowledgingbla gt!U at occe, and Informing on bis accom plice. From the confession mode by both soon after their arrest, it would seem that Keenan, who sold wood to steamboats, hod been singled out as a victim several days be fore ths plan was put Into practical opera tion. The negroes were waiting until ho disposed of, and received the money for, a lot of wood ho had piled out on tbo river hank and ready for sale. On the 11th Inst., a pacing boat landed and took the wood. Keenan staid at the landing until the boit left, and then,. as he was returning to bis cabin, was shot with an old musket in the hands of one ot the negroes. Hastily search ing him. they discovered that he had no money with the exception of a single three cent piece. Concealing his body with leaves and underbrush, and iufbriated at this dbap- Erintment, the demons then proceeded to ecnan’s house, intent on completing their work of death. At the door of the house they met Keenan's wife, and In an Insolent and threatening manner demanded some thing to cat. The woman replied that there was not much in (he bouse, but that her husband would return In tbo course of a few minutes, acdsuchaslt was they could bsveaportion. One of the negroes then remarked that she need not wait tor her husband—that be wouldn’t be there—that they had “ fixed him.'* The woman became seriously alarmed at this stage of the proceed ing, feeling that she was in Imminent danger, attempted to seize a pistol lying on the mantel piece, tihe was rndelypnahcd aside by one of the fiends, while the other with a olow from an axe he carried.stretched her bleedmg and half dead on tire floor at their feet. Attempting to anse, another Mow almost severed her bead from the trunk of her body, and she fell back a second time, her head In the fire blazing on the hearth. The oldest child, a boy some tea years of ago, stepped into the bouse at Ihu time, and, . seeing the position of his mother, ran forward to extricate her from her apparently painful situation, when the* axe was again raised, and tne boy sank beside hfc mother, killed at a blow.
