The Catholic Question. There is probably no subjeet within the wide range of American politics, which is of deeper or more vital importance than that which for months past has so strongly agitated the public mind, to wit: The Catholic question:

The Roman Bishops and Priests having failed in every State, save California, to secure apart of the public school fund for Catholic schools, have again renewed the fight in a different manner. Failed in the open fight, they have changed their tactics and adopted what might be termed the guerrilla warfare.

They are now writing and lecturing and proclaiming to the world that they have been and still are the peculiar friends of Liberty. That the English law owes its parentage.to Catholic in,fiuence! If this be true it has often struck us with wonder, that Italy, •where the Pope has his home, over which he has supreme control, is still destitute of that "English law," and that freedom to which they in this country profess such devotion? If il be true, why has not Catholic Spain irthe "English law?" If it be true why is it unlawful in Catholic Tuscany for

Protestants 10 read and. circulate Protestant Bibles? As a specimen of the Roman Catholic love of liberty, we refer to the following facts, from the Cincinnati Gazette:

RELIGIOUS FREEDOM—THE UNITED STATES

AND TUSCANY. A few weeks ago, an enterprising Catholic, wishing to make an honest living and do his part towards advancing the interests of his church, starta paper, in Albany, called the "Catholic Pioneer." Unfortunately, he did not, before issuing his first number, apply to the Bishop for his consent and blessing and that functionary, finding it impossible to tolerate such an independent spirit, before the paper had reached its third number, caused it to be denounced,%imultaneously, in all the Catholic churches in *. Albany and the region round about.

The publisher of the Pioneer succumbed, dropped "Catholic" and tacked *"and Standard" to the name of his paper, divested it of its religious character, and announcing that he had the

Bishop's "permission," to publish any other kind of paper he chose, continues its publication.

It would not be difficult to assign a number of not very creditable motives for this extraordinary interference of the Bishop. We shall charge him with none of these however, but will suppojse that he was actuated only by a pure and honest zeal for the Church whose interests are entrusted to his care. But looking at this affair in its best aspect, what does it teach? A condition of submissive'ness nay ol servility among the members of the Catholic church, which, however it may suit the domains of

Leopold II, Grand Duke of Tuscany, is not at all adapted to the institution or spirit of this country. It did not answer the end of this despotic ecclesiastic to denounce the paper when it advocated views, not recognized by the Catholic church, or manifested ich an uncharitable and unchristian spirit as would bring it into discredit.

Then a public denial of its Catholic character, and a disavowal of its authority to speak for that church would have been justifiable and proper. _v.,~

But a course like this, which recognized the right of the layman to act and think for himself, did not commend itself to the judgment of this haughty Bishop. The editor of the "Pioneer" had been guilty of an act of contumacy, in daring to establish a religious paper without consulting with and procuring the "permission" and blessing of the Bishop, and if it were not at once rebuked, the despotic control which these high ecclesiastics exercise over their churches and people would have been weakened. In order to vindicate his authority, it was necessary for the Bishop to rebuke the unfortunate editor in the most harsh.and arbitrary manner his ingenuity could devise and, accor dingly, he has his poor bantling publicly cursed from the pulpit, and excommunicated, so far as that punishment can be executed on a newspaper. And this bit of ecclesiastical tyranny, so shocking to all American ideas, is tamely submitted to, the victim of it not daring to whisper a word of remonstrance.

Such an exercise of ecclesiastical authority in Europe would have excited no remark, nor should we have commented upon it, had it not occurred in our own country. But, as showing how completely our foreign Catholic population retain among us the servility and cringing submission to the Priests and higher officers of the Church, which has been assiduously taught tftem in their native land, it is worthy of notice. It is painful to know that anywhere men will so surrender their manhood, so abjectly give up all freedom of thought, and consent to be made the tools of their religious teachers. That there are hundreds and thousands in our own country who have been so little penetrated by the spirit of our free institutions, as to continue in this state of spiritual slavery, is one of the most mortifying and alarming facts of the time.

The case of Miss Cunninghame, of which we gave an account some days ago, deserves to be mentioned in connection with the above, as showing how the tyranical and intolerant spirit of Catholicism acts within the territories of the Grand Duke of Tuscany, where it is powerful enough to give character to the legislation.— Miss Cunninghame a young lady of Scotland, was arrested at a village near the baths of Lucca, Tuscany, on a charge of having presented a copy of the Bible and of Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress, translated into Italian, to a peasant, or peasants.— This young lady with her mother and sister had been spending some time at the baths of Lucca and when about to leave, the two latter applied at the proper office for the vise of their passports. The presence of Miss Cunninghame was demanded and insisted upon and finally the mother was told by the officer that he had something of importance to communicate to her daughter. Though in delicate health, she presented herself at the office, where she was formally apprised that she was arrested on a charge of disseminating Protestant tracts, and was immediately removed, under an escort of gens tVarme. to Lucca.

Sir William Millar at once visited the baths where the Grand Duke ivas staying, and endeavored to get an interview. This was denied him, whereupon he hastened to Florence, and laid all the circumstances before Mr. Scarlett, acting British Minister, in the absence of Sir Henry Bulwer. He immediately opened communications with the Minister, and visited the Grand Duke at the baths. Nothing could be effected, as the Duke said the law must take its course, intimating at the same time, that he might possibly exercise his clemency after conviction. The law violated is the 137th articlc of the new criminal code of Tuscany, which declares 'that "whoever shall circulate works hostile to the Catholic faith, with the view of seducing any member from the communion, shall be condemned to the house of correction, and subjected to hard labor, for a period not less than five, or greater than ten years."

There is no doubt, we presume, that Miss Cunninghame has violated the law, and subjected herself to its mild and Christian penalty. Neither is there any doubt of the right of the Tuscan Government to pass and enforce such a law. It applies to the -subjects of other governments whilst in Tuscany, just as fully as to the

subjects of the Grand Duke, and no nation can interfere to shield its citizens from its severe penalties, without a violation of international law. The only remedy which presents itself is, a combination of the Protestant powers of the world to confpel these Papal despot* to permit Protestants, when in their territories, to enjoy the liberty of conscience and religious freedom which their subjects enjoy and exercise in all Protestant lands. In this, our country should take the lead, and the most active part. Such a league would sooner or later be successful, and secure these precious rights and privileges to mankind throughout all Christendom.

There seems to us a peculiar fitness in placing these two facts side by side. The ecclesiastical tyranny of the New York Bishop is admirably matched by the harsh treatment the Grand Duke of Tuscany is now administering to a harmless and pureminded Scottish girl. The first, trampled indignantly and contemptuously on the first attempt of a layman to exercise the unquestionable right of a freeman, treating him as if he were a slave or a serf the other, uses the power of his miserable despotism, to persecute and punish a girl, a stranger in his dominions and ignorant of its laws, for giving away a Protestant Bible and good old Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress! Neither the Bishop nor the Duke appeared to have any superfluous confidence in their religion on their people, or they would not be so ready to fly in the face of the world and insult the spirit of the age by such tyrannical proceedings. As to the sequel, we suppose the Grand Duke, when he has terrified his oppressed subjects and given a salutary warning to all Protestant travelers in his territories, will consent to release Miss Cunninghame and the Bishop will no doubt give his official approbation to the "Pioneer and Standard," when its editor shall have conducted it with 'bated breath' and

Murder in Louisville, Ky. Mr. Butler, a school teacher, in Louisville Ky., was shot a few evenings ago by a Mr. Ward, in a manner which renders it nothing less than deliberate, cold-blooded murder.

He had found it necessary to correct the brother of his murderer, which he did very mildly but Ward, a man about 25 or 27 years of age. became very indignant, armed himself with pistols, sneaked coward like into the school room and without giving Mr. Butler a chance to defend himself Bhot him through the chest, from the effects of which he died in a few hours. Ward and his brother, an accomplice, are now in jail, but some wealthy men of Louisville have offered to bail them.

Such cowardly and despicable murders are becoming common in the South and will continue until the people and the courts, of what should be justice, summon courage to hang between heaven and earth some of those miserable miscreants, until the hangman has pronounced upon them the sentence of "thrice dead." So many of them have been suffered to go free after a mock trial, that they look upon themselves as heroes, and fondly dream that the self-styled chivalrous, regard them as brave and valorous knights, who will not brook the slightest insult to themselves or any of their family. Poor deluded mortals the wise and good regard them with horror, pity, and disgust, the brand of infamy is on their brow, while the foulest murder stains their skirts.

So long as the courts of justice, shrink from their high duty of punishing such crimes, so long as the blackest, the most unjustifiable murderers are suffered to go unpunished, so long will such scenes be enacted. Could the voice of the people of Louisville be heard, it would doubtless call loudly for Ward to be suspended from the gallows. But every means which wealth or law can devise will (as in former instances) be employed to effect his pardon and release should this be effected, the thunders of a righteous indignation should be hurled upon him until in dust and ashes he gave evidence of repentance, and clothed in sack-cloth, he should go mourning the remainder of his life,

JOSHUA BOYLE.

This sanctimonious looking individual, who for ye&ra past has been living on the bounties of the citizens of this place, left on Saturday night the 22d of October, leaving his creditors minus to the amount of about $7,00. He had been very poor and the people treated him with great kindness in supplying all his wants in sickness and in health several physicians had waited on him and his family for some seven or eight years. A carpenter bytrade, he had been supplied with constant work at remunerating prices. For some three or four years he had been employed by the Rail road company at $1,50 per day, all of which he pocketed and lived on credit. Having quietly purchased a wagon and team, he left between Bundown and sunrise without paying a farthing of his debts. A meaner and baser act was never committed in this community. He has shown himself too vile and too dishonorable for any community of men, unless it be those who are confined in the State prison, and then we fear he would steal from them. He is about six feet high, has a sharp nose, and the,white of his eye shows like that of a regular "cuffy." He has probably gone to Illinois or Iowa, and the papers of those States may Bave some of their citftHns from a severe swindle by publishing this notice. Pass him around. He swindled the printers and the editor out of some $15.

We have a few more individuals of like character, gone in the same direction, of whom we wish to warn the good people of Illinois and Iowa at another time, and that ere long. Forward us $8, immediately or you're next on docket.

The Ohio Cultivator.

We are under many obligations to the editors of the Ohio Cultivator, for the tenth volume as far as published.

This work should bo in the hands of hundreds and thousands of our farmers. The many valuable articles and suggestions it contains, will richly repay them for its cost. We cannot too earnestly recommend to the farmers of our county the utility of taking good Agricultural papers that are devoted to Western Agriculture. He who doe3 not is a constant looser, not only in the pleasure of reading, but in the profits of farming.

Maryland Election.

The Democracy have elected their State ticket in Maryland, but the whigs have a majority in both branches of the Legislature, which will secure the election of a whig Senator and Treasurer. The whigs have gained four Senators and ten Delegates.

Temperance Triumph in Baltimore In the late election in Baltimore the Temperance ticket has gloriously triumphed. There were but two tickets in the field, the Temperance and regular Democratic. The triumph is thus fairly and nobly won, in a city, too, where Democracy has the majority, and where the vast resources of the wealthy liquor dealers were brought to bear on the election. This is another bright spot in the hitherto dark sky of the temperance reformation.

Thus will State after State, city after after city, and village after village, whirl into ranks, and this monster evil no longer suffered to roll its death tide over our land. Friends of Temperance, take courage and gird still firmer on the bright armor of your glorious warfare forth,forth to the battle, and ere long a shout will be heard coming up from your mighty hosts, like the voice of many waters, proclaiming, Temperance has triumphed, the people are free.

GOODS AT COST.

Our friend "Bob" BRYANT is offering his entire stock of Goods, which is large and well selected, positively at cost. He has sent forth his advertisement to the world, through the Journal of to-day, to which your attention is invited in which he has made a full statement of the matter, and we are satisfied means what he says. So, in his own language, we invite you to "Walk up to the Captain's office," &c.

lO^We were presented one day this week with a fine and most delicious role of Butter, from one of our kind and affectionate old mothers, Mrs. JOEL DEER for which favor, the dear old Lady, has the highest regards of the Printers, hoping she may yet live many years, to bless, comfort and cherish, those by whom she is surrounded.

Politics in New York. The war between the t*ro wings of the democracy is raging very high a fiercer contest has seldom or never before been witnessed in the political history of our country. They united on the broad platform of the "loaves and fishes," but there were not enough to satisfiy the hungerings of the vast multitudes and a general scramble has now commenced. That a union on such a platform could not long continue was evident to every thinking man. That our readers may see the spirit in which this war is begun and carried on, we make the following extract from the "Address of the Union Democratic State Committe." We shall give an occasional extract from both sides. The address after enumerating the many causes which led to the present state of affairs thus describes what took place in convention at Syracuse: "A numerous band of bullies and fighting-men, chilly from the city of New York, with some slight additions from Albany and other places, were brought upon the ground. Among these were no less than three of the miscreants who were indicted and convicted for the murderous and unprovoked assault made on Augustus Schell, Esq., whilst presiding as chairman of the regular Democratic General Committee of the city of New York at Tammany Hall, in December last and one or more of them were produced in the New Scotland riots a few years since, in which some of the Freesoil leaders now on the ground made such a figure. Several of these men held appointments under Mr. Cochrane, the surveyor of the port, and Mr. Fowler, the postmaster of New York. Messrs. Cochrane and Fowler were both present to contest the seats of rightful delegates, with sundry other specimens of the "sachems" of Tammany Society—a secret irresponsible, and selfelected corporation, over whom the Democracy have no control, who seek to prescribe Democratic usages, and usurp the right to decide questions affecting Democratic organization, with which they have no warrant to intermeddle, and over which they have no conceivable authority.

Some of us are advanced in years, and have been at Democratic State Conventions before—nay, many, many times—but we never yet met at Syracuse or elsewhere such an assemblage as was drawn there this year to participate in the proceedings of that body. It boded no good to the Democratic party when the Executive of the State, the Bole dispenser ot the pardoning power, and the ferocious visages of convicts and their associates, loomed in the same gas light. Bat we trusted that iniquity itself would shrink from any attempt to overawe or silence the rightful members by brute force, and would leave the Convention to the power of reason and the moral strength the votes of the majority would necessarily exert. In this we were disappointed.

On the morning of the 13th a room was provided at Brintnall Hall for the use of the Convention, and notices or handbills posted up signed by the chairman and secretary of the State committe, informing members of the fact. The delegates were assembling there in an orderly and in the usual manner many of them had assembled a short time before twelve o'clock, when an organized gang of fighting-men, variously estimated at from fifty to seventy-five, rushed up the staircase, entered the hall in a tumultuous and violent manner, and in a body forced their way to the platform, on which stood Mr. Story, the chairman of the State committee, Mr. Madden of Orange, and some other delegates. Conspicuous among these ruffians was Wm. H. Ludlow, of Suffolk, Speaker of the last Assembly, Surveyor Cochrane, Postmaster Fowler, and Sachem Dunlap. They hurried towards the platform and some of them mounted it. Many of the fighting men also jumped on the platform, one of whom had the audacity to lay hold of Mr. Story, but was quickly shaken off by him. A scene of indescribable contusion ensued. Yells, hooting, shouting, and clamor of every kind were heard.

When order had been temporarily restored, Mr. Story called the Convention to order, and proposed Mr. Barnes, of Chenango, as temporary chairman. At the same instant Mr. Madden named Mr. Skinner, of Wyoming. Both put the question, and both declared it carried, and each attempted to take the chair. The fighting men hurried Mr. Skinner up to the chair, and Mr. Cassidy, of the Albany Atlas, with the view of unseating Mr. Barnes, knocked the chair from under him. Gen. Ward, of Westchester, distinguished for his long association with the Democracy of the State, and respected for his virtues, strove to get a hearing, and implored the persons not delegates to retire to the further end of the room. Two of these fighting

men stood next to him, on either side, prepared—for they were armed—to repeat the same operation on him that had previoilfly been attempted on the chairman of the New York genera] committee but no Bignal was given and they forebore the assault It was then proposed that both Mr. Barnes and Mr. Skinner should act as joint chairmen and secretaries having been named the roll was called, and the delegates and contestant in attert^ince duly noted. A motion was immediately made and carried that the Convention take a recess until four o'clock, and we left the hall.

A Mnrder and Horrid Atrocity. Never have we listened to the details of a more horred transaction than is related to us by a member of the Coroners jury, who attended^ an: inquest last Saturday upon the body of a man named Jacob Scheib, lately a resident of Blue Island, and who was murdered in cold blood by a fiend of the name of Cender.

It appears that Scheib

Bome

two?

months ago, married in Buffalo a widow who had a family of children, the eldest a boy of some 12 or 13 years, moved to Blue Island, about three quarters of a mile from Village,, and lived in a shanty. Cender last week loaded a double barrel shot gun, which he had lately purchased? tor the purpose of trying it, and after practicing some time, annoyed Scheib by firing in his yard and about the latter's dwelling. Scheib remonstra-f ted and from words they came to? blows. Neither were much injured, and afterwards Cender took a seat in* Scheib's shanty, directiy behind the stove. At about 11 o'clock at night, high words again ensued between? them, and Cender raised his gun,, pointing it at the others breast, and threatened to shoot him Scheib being but about three feet from tho muzzle of the gun, opened his shirt bosom and dared Cender to fire-= Cender at once fired and lodged the whole charge in his victims rigfrtt breast, killing him instantly. But now follows the most horrible part,? which the son testifies^ to. Mrs.. Scheib leaving the body in its fallen position after placing something under the head of her dead husband undressed herself and went to bed in a small apartment partitioned off in the back part of the shanty. Cender followed and occupied the same? bed. The wife and the murderer of her husband, within sight of tho?, warm but lifeless corpse, lay in each other's arms! The boy immediately went in search of assistance, and those whom he brought found the guilty pair together as he had left them. In reply to their questions: she stated that Scheib shot himself. Further assistance having been pro-' cured and a warrant issued, the murderer was arrested, and upon the Coroner's inquest, the woman con-" fessed that Cender shot her husband. Cender is now in jail in this city, having been committed to await the action of a Grand Jury.

Take the whole facta together, we think for aeal hard-heartedness, indifference and callousness to the feelings of human nature, we have never found a parallel to this case.— Chicago Jour.

INK FOR STEEL PENS.—Take twenty bis. of the Campeacby logwood, and boil it down for three hours in ones gallon of water, taking care to add enough during evaporation, so aB to, have one gallon of liquor at the end of the boiling. Into this, dissolvo 12 oz. of the chromate of potassa,, and stir well. It should then be bottied up for use. It does not require gum to hold any sediment in solution—for there is none—like the com-« tnon inks, made with tha sulphate of: iron, logwood and galls, orsumao.—As there is no acid in this ink, it is the very writing fluid required for steel pens.
