Trinity cmracn, in Hew York city,
with its millions of real estate, some of
which is rented to liquor dealers, has not
been heard from yet regarding President
Grant's proposition to tax church property.
No doubt, in time, we shall learn that this
ofishoot of the Church of England is of the
opinion that he is a candidate for rcnomi
nation. ;Pi:obai!LY the best commendation that
President Grant could require of the
equity of the allusions in his Message to
the Cuban question is to be found in the
fact that 'while the people of Madrid be
came excited over the assumption that he
was decidedly in sympathy with the
Patriots, fe&ch an inimical American jour
nal as the New York Sun charges that
" this portion of the Message (Cuban
"affairs) will please the Spanish Dons
" both in this country and in Europe."
Two hundred Methodist clergymen in
attendance upon the meeting of the Metho
dist Episcopal Sabbath-school Union and
Tract Society at Boston, last Monday,
joined with Bishop Haven in renominating
President Grant. Thereupon it is charged
that he is the Methodist candidate for a
Third Term. Before this thine goes any
further it may be well to reflect that the
President himself may have something to
say on the subject not to say anything
about the people generally.
The new Postmaster of the House is a
mac of many trials and sore tribulations.
He has received such kindly consideration
at the hands of Capt Sherwood, his prede
cessor, that he is loth to part company with
him. Five hundred applicants to be ap
pointed to subordinate positions under him
have been disappointed, mainly because
they had not served in the Confederate
army. The few who have succeeded in
getting appointments took the qualified oath
of ofiice, and are correspondingly happy.
la un news fOLrwxs we print with
unusual pleasure a letter to the National
Uiutblican from Col John W. Forney,
the distinguished American representative
of the interests of our Centennial Exposi
tion in Europe. The letter will engage
the serious attention of Congress upon an
important matter, and will convey to our
readers much desirable information, and
we ore mistaken if it docs not greatly
stimulate patriotic endeavor throughout
the country to make our Centennial Cele
bration the crowning glory of the first
hundred years of our national annals.
A&wErBEDicTED.thcIndependentPrcss,
so called, with the New York Tribune at
its heed, insists that President Grant is a
candidate for re election because be did not
declare to the contrary in his Message. It
makes but little difference, however, what
they insist The inference is about as fair
as the Tribune's charge that the school
question, "rigidly defined, is an anti
Catholic issue." The intelligent Catholics
of the country will resent this insinuation
as demagogical, as the people generally
will repudiate the far-fetched inference re
garding the Third Term.
A 8INCEIIE nEGUET is expressed by the
"old" members of the House of both par
tics that the former clerks and employees
of that body are to be displaced. This is
particularly true of ex-Clerk McPherson's
able corps of assistants, as well as of sev
eral of the clerks of leading committees.
This feeling is very natural, and results
from the warm friendships engendered by
long personal association. It is unfortunate,
in many regards, that any changes of the
kind alluded to should be made at all, be
cause the clerical labor of the House will
.necessarily be transferred to unfamiliar
hands, and the interests of the people not
to say anything of the valiant and patriotic
Democracy will suffer accordingly.
"Sexatok" McMillan prints an open
letter to "Gov." JIcEncry, of Louisiana,
in another column of this issue, in which
he withdraws his credentials and resigns
his office. This act will not complicate the
Louisiana muddle, but on the contrary will
simplify it nnless some one else should
happen to be "elected" to be his successor.
II must be admitted, however, that Mr.
McMillan has pursued a very proper course.
Recognizing in the recent action of the
House an additional ratification of the
Louisiana Adjustment, he steps forward to
add the force of his character to the main
tenance of the Opposition pledges to sus
tain that agreement. The letter is calm
and dignified, and shows that he abandons
his contest, not without reluctance, but in
accordance with his ideas of political duty.
The New York Tribune seems to think
that President Grant "wentoutof his way"
to recommend the free-school amendment
to the Constitution, and that because
his is an " outgoing Administration "
the propositions accompanying the amend
ment are simply a "bid for votes." There
is no doubt about this latter deduction, al
though any respectable authority would
characterize it as a declaration of progres
sive and aggressive principle in behalf of
the Republican party. The phrase "bid
for votes" is worthy of a demagogue only,
and of one who sees in the promulgation of
statesmanlike truths or rules for public
guidance the mere trick of a politician.
The fact, however, that the Tribune and
other Opposition agents show so much
feeling regarding this matter proves most
conclusively that the President has struck
a popular chord, and they arc simply en
deavoring to weaken bis influence with the
people. They will find it to be up-hill
work.
Among the apparent necessities of the
political situation is the preservation of
son-sectionalism. This can only be ac
complished by.giving to the Republicans
of the Southern States the balance of
power i. e., preserving for the blacks" and
their political friends lie privilege of
voting In. accordance with their natural
promptings. If this is not done the
lemocrats, who are sectionalism without
disguise, will obtain control of thos? State?,
and tho ante be liim condit'oa or affairs
will be restored. It is for this restoration
that the Confederate majority ot tho House
of Representatives will "labor without re
mission. They may claim, as Mr. Lamir
does, that they are' on o and all as loyal
and more truly con-sectional than the most
extreme Northern "Radical." Amoment's
reflection, however, will serve to convince
any reasonable man thaftbo final result ot
the policy of negro disfranchisement, which
they advocate, will be to Southernize the
South, so to speak, and destroy all possi
bility of final reconstruction on the broad
basis of common citizenship.
BADE OF A DISAPPOINTED PEOPHET.
The New York Herald has found a new
sensation. And, wonder of wonders, it
has discovered it in the President's Mes
sage. It is within the recollection of most
of the readers of that luminous and highly
consistent sheet that it has, of late, been
much devoted to warning the public that the
President was preparing a foreign war with
Spam or with Mexico as a basis for a
"Third Term." Since its invention and
publication of the Caaar articles, and the
theory involved in them, tho Herald has
suffered amazingly from this Third Term
night-mare of its own raising. It has killed
it off several times, or rather it has held
several coroner's inquests over it, and upon
each of these several occasions pronounced
the pretended issue dead dead beyond
resurrection. The declaration of Gen. Dix
killed it; the elections of 1674 killed it; the
declarations against it of Republican Stato
conventions in 1873 killed it; Grant's letter
killed it, (although the Herald, we believe,
then intimated a feline specimen hidden in
that heap of Indian meal;) the results of
the elections of 1875, taken in connection
with the anti Third Term resolutions of the
Republican conventions, killed it, and, in
short. f(jr a thing which never had even
the shadow of an existence anywhere else
i1 than in the befogged vision and bedizened
brain of the intellectual department of
the sensational New York press, it has en
joyed a most remarkable number of deaths
and resurrections. But the most remarka
ble feature of these demises and reappear
ances Is the fact that they, all of them, oc
cur at the bidding of the chief necromancer
of the New York Herald. As a theoretical
magician and a resurrectionist he has no
equal in this or any other country. As a
consistent truth-teller and safe political
adviser, who is distinguished by fidelity to
principle, he is a lamentable failure. Since
I the days of John Tyler s administration
there has been no President that the Herald
has not flattered, patronized and abused by
turns without any very remarkable suc
cess. It has volunteered advice to them
all upon almost every conceivable subject
and policy of a character that no statesman
or patriot could reasonably be expected to
accept, coupled generally with promises of
its powerful support in the event of accept
ance, and its .advice has almost as invaria
bly been rejected.
The President's Message, which was
read in both Houses of Congress on Tues
day, has evidently both surprised and dis
appointed the Herald. Upon all those
subjects that the Herald had predicted that
it would "put its foot in it," to use a
homely slang phrase, it seems to meet the
approbation of that journal. In this mat
ter the Herald is greatly disappointed, and
on this account it is unable to conceal its
chagrin. But as it is rarely at a loss, in
common with all chronic grumblers, for
something with which to find fault, so now
it discovers a new cause for sensation in
the recommendations of the President for
amendments of the Constitution concerning
the public schools and taxation of church
property. Itsays. "HcissoundontheCuban
" question; sound in the main on the most
" important of the financial questions; sound
" and admirable on the question of cable
" monopolies; discreet and even wise on
" the Mexican question; plausible at least, if
" not right, on the naturalization question."
The President should be, and no doubt is,
thankful for this liberal indorsement from
such a fountain of wisdom and oracle of
profound statesmanship upon five points of
his Message, and these the very points
upon which this great political seer had
predicted that his political ambition would
lead him astray.
And yet this most wonderfully sagacious
prophet, with the full light of the Des
Moines speech df the President before him,
is angry nitli himself because he failed to
predict that the President would recom
mend in his Annual Message that the doc
trines announced in that speech should be
en crafted upon the Constitution of the
United States in a legal and constitutional
manner. This, it must be admitted, is most
unfortunate for the character of the Herald
as chief political prophet of the country, but
it is difficult to see how the President can
be blamed for the short-comings of that
journal's prediction editor. And it is still
more difficult to reconcile those short
comings of its intellectual and imaginative
departments with the torrent of abuse and
misrepresentation with which the Presi
dent is visited on account of them in the
following tirade: "But on the combined
" religious and school question, upon which
" he lays his chief stress and emphasis, he
" is wild, Quixotic and utterly. absurd.
" This attempt to introduce religion as a
" controlling clement in our national poli
" tics, the zeal with which he flings this
" firebrand and tries to kindle theological
" animosities for party effect, is the most
" mischievous and monstrous violation of
" fitness and propriety ever perpetrated by
" a President of the United States."
Passing by as unworthy any journal pre
tending to dignity and respectability, the
assertion that "he is wild, Quixotic and
utterly absurd" in these recommendations,
it may not be amiss to call attention to the
willful misrepresentation contained in the
sentence immediately following it. All
classes of readers, of all sects and denomi
nations of religion, unite in ascribing per
fect fairness and the most liberal tolerance
to all religious opinions as the bails of the
President's proposition. Carried out to its
logical results it will secure forever in this
country entire immunity from religious id
terference with the politics of the nation.
The people, as well as the President,
foresee the necessity of settling this ques
tion now beyond all perad venture. If it is
deferred until a later period, when any one
denomination or sect may obtain prepon
derance in our population, we may be vis
ited with those religious difficulties which
the Herald affects to be so anxious to
avoid, but which are in no way raised by
this proposition, because it is equally just
to all and leaves all sects to stand or fall
entirely upon their respective merits.
The Herald, most unjustly and with un
blushing effrontery, proffers this degrading
insult to the intelligence of its readers in
the same issue which contains the text of
the Message, including the proposition of
the President which exposes the falsity and
mischievous malignity of the assertion:
"He hopes to array the Protestant prej a
" dice and Protestant bigotry in a political
" crusade against the Catholic Church, and
" thereby carry tho Presidential election."
No one but the Herald can perceive the
slightest advantage or Injury to either Pro
testant or Catholic that could possibly re
sult from tho proposed Constitutional
amendment On the other hand, the propo
sition should receive the unanimous support
of all political parties and sects of religion
as certain to remove.forever the possibility
of religious questions entering our political
arena, with their prejudices ind animosities.
HIHOB TOPICS. 8p
"How did you like the Message t" said a
citizen yesterday to a Bourbon member of
Congress. In reply theCongressman remarked
that "should the President have occasion to
send tiro or three more such excellent docu
ments to tho House 'I would come out for a
third term and stick to It."
The rumor that Member Walker, of Vir
ginia, is the handsomest man in the Honse
was conflrmed yesterday. The sweetheart of
a Northern member, who was in the gallery,
became so charmed with Walker that' her
lover could sot catch her eye for a whole half
hour, and finally was compelled to .blow his
nose; In order to attract her attention. She
recognized the sound and dropped her eyes
upon bun for a moment, but they soon .wand
ered back to Walker under tho magic In
fluence of his handsome "phiz." Tou could
hare f towed a wholo library away In the cor
rugations of the Northern member'a brow.
The terrible disaster which has just over
taken the fine steamer Deutschland in the
North Sea helps to swell the list of ocean hor
rors, whoso catalogue already is of apalllng
length. The greater becomes our navigation
facilities the more numerous become tbc acci
dents at sea, and at present rates, the close of
the nineteenth century will find us in the
midst of daily ocean disasters, in comparison
to which the ones of the present are bat feeble
pigmies. By that time, however, the people
will bave become so accustomed to tbe unfor
tunate scenes as to take them readily as a
matter of course.
" I have been disappointed ; in fact, sir, I
have been fooled out of a position. My Con
gressman has softened on another man. My
money is gone ; my patience is wearied, and I
must fly to the bosom of my family for relief.
But believe me, kind sir, I never fall to settle
my board bills under any circumstances, and
my trunk is at your disposal. Its contents are
worth more than five times the bill. Take it,
sir, and keep it until you hear from me." The
trunk was retained by the landlord, and after
the man had fled to the bosom of bis family it
was opened and found to be neatly packed
with old Nicholson paving-blocks.
"I aint up here for a position," said a
Confederate soldier yesterday as he stood
on the curbing near Wfllard's with one
hand in his pocket and the other buried
in tho soil at Gettysburg, "but I came up
to watch that little pension business." He
was an agreeable looking fellow, and he
had all the appearance of a man who really
needed a pension. And why should he not
have one? As he stood there, an old Union
veteran came stumping along on one leg and
a crutch, and it suggested the thought, "Why
should he not have one!" Ho is a voter; has
a representative In Congress: proposes to
visit the Centennial and clasp hands across the
bloody chasm, and why should he be deprived
of that which this other soldier has? That he
needs it just as much is plainly evident. His
family is large, and be is unable to do manual
labor. Thousands of Northern men who
fonght no more gallantly than he are sustained
and comforted by their pensions. His State is
back in the Union, and he a citizen, exercising
the full rights and privileges of an unfettered
citizenship. Why should he be left out in th a
cold? "I know," said he, "that I fonght for
secession, bnt that is a lost cause; the Govern
ment has accorded general amnesty to us all,
and now It most care for those of us who were
disabled in the strife. It is no more than rea
sonable that we should be pensioned if we have
to pay the taxes which meet the expense of it."
He talked mildly, but there was a tone to his
words which bespoke an unfaltering confidence
in thoc who now have the control of this
matter in their own hands. Will they disap
point these men who need that for which they
ask more than the average mendicant needs
the crust thrust to him from the table of the
rich?

WASiHSCTOJf, D. C, November 30, 1S73,
Tbc animus of the Confederate party in
Congress is shown by its present disposition to
turn with ferocity upon Mr. Randall, the lead
ing candidate for Speaker of the House. It
appears that Mr. Randall is not "sound" on
the negro question. Here wo have the old cry
again. For thirty years before the war'the
question which decided the political destiny of
"man and boy" in Washington, from President
to page, was, "Is he sound on the negro?"
And, Io! it Is the first question which the ex
cited Confederate asks on finding himself once
more in power at tbe National Capital. If this
is to be the all-and-all of political discipline
and official qualification under a Confederate
Democratic coalition, will the leaders of that
coalition be kind enough to remove the quids
of tobacco from their mouths,wash their hands,
clean their nailtjComb and brush thelrhalr, put
on clean shirts, and, having taken a glass of
cooling soda water, stand up like decent men
and inform us how we are to get rid of this negro
question? If the leaders of the Confederate-Democratic
coalition will Insist upon Southern sec
tionalism as the foundation rock of its organi
zation, what right have tbsr to complain if
the North also "combines" for self-protection?
If hate of the negro is thus to be the perpetual
animating life principle in the political exist
ence of the Confederate-Democracy, what is
the North to do bnt to meet this hate with a
courageous purpose and crush it out of exist
ence! (unless indeed this Confederate Demo
cratic coalition is permitted io crush the life
out of tho Union.) The continuation of tbe
negro question as the one all-absorbing Issue
in American politics to-day as it was five
years ago, ten years ago, twenty years ago, is
therefore due chiefly, if not solely, to the pro
slavery party of the United States.
The pro-slavery party is practically alive
to-day, and never during my long experience
of political affairs at the National Capital have
I known It more rancorous, vindictive, illiberal
and uncompromising than it Is now. It is con
sequently Eheer effrontery for the so called
"Conservatives" of the South, and their so
called "Democratic" allies of the North to
prate about the Republicans keeping the negro
question alive for partisan purposes. But it
Is useless to watte words with those who must
either rule or fce ruled. The duty of Repub
licans is plain in so far as they can exert any
influence over tbe organization of the Confederate-Democratic
House of the American
Congress. It is to let these conspirators
against the cause of humanity go their way
while we go ours.
Mr. Randall as the representative of the
"liberal" Democratic sentiment of the North
finds himself unexpectedly confronted by the
"fierce" element of his own party. His ser
vice to his party in aiding to defeat Republi
can legislation last winter, as involved in the
bill for the protection of elections, has se
cured him a certain amount of following at
the South, and which should give him the
united Confederate support of Mississippi.
But he now learns that notwithstanding that
following, and notwithstanding the rich har
vest it has produced in MlssltjippI, and not
withstanding his services to the Confederate
Democracy, he Is distrusted by those whom
he has so effectively served. The real leaders
of the party bave no idea of advancing any
man so strong i a Is Mr. Randall.
The result of the contest far the Speaker
ship shows the correctness of the above views,
which were written under date of December 1,
from this city, Ed Jf at. Rep.
