A Dangerous Policy.

The personal opinion of the editor of. I he Evansvillc Courier,or any other news paper, is a matter of little public interest, but the serious utterance of the organ of a party, and especially of the domi nant party, in a Congressional District, upon a grave question of public impor

is another matter. It is this view of the subject that induces us to tiotice a studiedly and villainously abusive article in the Evansville Oouriet under this caption: 'The Reverend Scoundrel "White." The immediate cause of fliis effusion of editorial billingsgate was the attack made upon the Rev. J. G. WHITE, a few days ago, at Columbus, Ohio, on which occasion he was followed by a howling, infuriated inob, stoned and otherwise insulted, be cause lie had exercised the right of free speech, which he, in common with every American citizen, from L. S. GRANT to the humblest boot-black, enjoys a right that underlies our free institutions, and the maintenance of which is vitally esential to the preservation of liberty.

Let it be clearly understood that we care no more for Mr. WHITE than for any other respectable citizen and were it not that the enemies of free speech, by assailing that right in Itis person, bring him into prominence, it is not likely that we should (ind occasion to mention his

name.- J-' The Courier, in view o( the shameful mob at Columbus, says: "It is not wonderful that the adherents of the Catholic faith should be incensed at the efforts of that crazy fanatic Rev. J. G.White, to make it appear that the sanctuary of the Catholic church i.-? nothing more than a den of prostitution. Every Catholic who has a virtuous wife or daughter, is insulted by the intimation.

That he does so teach is clearly deducible from his lectures "to males only, in which he reads from approved Catholic books to show the practices and corruption of the confessional!",

Only- a scoundrel of the deepest dye would in this base manner BEAK I-'AI.SK WITNESS against his neighbor, without a shadow of provocation."

The italics and small cap's are the Courier's, not ours, and show the animus of the article. We admit that "it i* not wonderful" in view of the past, "that the adherents of the Catholic faith should be incensed" at the very free manner in which Mr. WHITE handles their creed and practices. Tolerance of free discussion has never been a peculiar characteristic of that, and some other, religious denominations. But we deny that lie, or any .other public speaker, endeavors "to make it appear that the sanctuary ot the Catholic Church is nothing more than a den of prostitution." No sane man questions that there are good and virtuous men and »vomen in all the various branche3 of the Church of Christ. But how does tlue Cowier say that he attempts to prove this or "to. make it appear"? Simply by "reading from approved Catholic books." We ask the Courier and all intelligent men of all sects and parties, if there could be a fairer mode of attack upon any church than the public reading of its own "approved books?"

Is the man who adopts that mode of combatting what he deems error "a scoundrel of the deepest dye?" Is reading those "approved books" and challenging the learned men of the church to deny their authenticity, "bearing false witness?" Is such argument to bemet by counter-argument? or is it to br rerefuted by a mob with insult and violence? Can those who are "incensed" at WHITE'S reading from "approved books" lind nothing but rocks ith Vrhich to reply to him? Is a man to be persecuted in one city, egged in another, stoned in yet another, and then have still other mobs incited by the Democratic organ of the First Congressional District of Indiana, for no other offense than lecturing against the creed and practices of a church?*

That the Courier is inlluenced by political feeling only is shown ly this paragraph from the article above named: "This Rev. Mr. While is the same man who made villainous attacks upon the Hon. Judge Law, when a candidate for Congress in 1862 in this district."

The "villainous attacks" to which the Courier alludes consisted in copious readings from the approved" speeches of the Hon. JOHN LAW, Democratic candidate for Congress. Judge LAW is now a feeble old man, not in political lile, and it is in bad taste for his party organ to drag his name into this controversy. llis age and feebleness forbid an unkind allusion to him.- We do not believe that the Judge would sanction the use of his name in an article calculated to excite the mob spirit, and we have no idea that he would suggest bowlders as a proper reply to argument. It was always his habit to meet his opponent face to face, and answer argument with argument, lie values free speech too highly to encourage that mode of defense against pulpit attacks which relies on the strength of "dornicks' or brickbats, or the pungent odor of ad died eggs.

We disavow any unfriendly feeling toward any church or denomination of Christians. All have equal rights in this land of religious liberty, and among those rights is the clear right to attack each other, in the pulpit or lecture room, or in their denominational organs, or in any other manner in which they may prefer to use the many wen pons in the armory of argument. This is the right of the Catholic as well as of the Protestant, and we will defend it as readily and earnestly when assailed in the j»erson of a Catholic priest as when mob' and the Htensville

Courier assail it in the person of a^fcesbyterian clergyman. If there is an^^^ed in this country which cannot stand the test of free discussion, it must die out. If there is any sect or party that encourages mobs to suppress or punish free spseeh, that sect or party is handling the

EDWARD SEXTON, conductor on the Valley Road, had his hand badly hurt while coupling a train of cars at Peru, day before yesterday.—Lafayette Journal

Almost every paper orfe takes up contains an account of some accident, often fatal and sometimes worse than fatal, occasioned by coupling cars in the old and awfully dangerous way. And yet we are told by well-informed, practical railroad men that there are patent car-couplers the use of which renders the operation of coupling entirely safe. If this is true the company that fails to use" the improved couplers is guilty of the mo|f criminal neglect and should be made to. suffer heavily for all injuries occasioned by such negligence

THOSE who attended the Indianapolis Minor in its last moments declare that the deep damnation of its taking off rests on Binarliam, of tho Sentinel. The straw that broke the camel's back was the publication of one of his pig iron articles.— Another victim added to his long list!

THE Lafayette Journal tells a story of a German landlord in that city who was outwitted a few days ago by two tenants who exchanged residences, andthns satisfied the requirements of their notices to vacate. The query is whether when the new notices are served upon them, they will simply exchange again.

THE Terre Haute Express says nail makers have, in common with other men, a desire to avoid sudden and violent death, and it makes this remark in connection with the sudden suspension of the nail works in that city.—Ind. Sentinel.

As a single successful attempt at truthtelling would probably be instantly fatal to the wery nearly unique editor of the Sentinel, he should not be censured for such a falsehood as the above. The remark which he quotes from the EXPRESS was made "in connection with" a lie from the Sentinel office about a probable removal of the machinery of the nail works to Indianapolis, where boiler explosions are so frequent and fatal as to deter prudent men from working in establishments in which steam power is used.

The New York Independent notices the fact that the Evansville, Presbyterian church, Rev. J. P. E. Kumler pastor, has a system of church work which puts each of its members on one of its committees of labor. There are committees on canvass for congregation and Sabbath school, prayer meetings, neighborhood meetings, Sabbath school socials, church papers and literature, the sick and poor, temperance, and finance. The result of the plan for a year showed an increase of benevolent contributions from $295 to $1,015, and of subscriptions for congregational expenses and for wiping out a debt from $3,767 to $13,749. At the begining of last year a system of regular giving was adopted, and a change made from the rented to the freepew system, with the most happy results. More additions to the church have been received than for several years before.

iloHJGBESSIOKAIi^

WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 11. hM. HOUSE. Bills'were introduced and referred, authorizing the building of abridge across the Mississippi at Clarksville,' Missouri, and for further reduction of the. army.«

Resolutions were adopted calling for report of expenditures, &e., By the Frecdmen's Bureau.

The House went into Committee of the Whole on the legislative appropriation bill.

Appropriation for folding House documents was reduced from $80,000 to $25,000.

The same item for the Senate was reduced from $20,000 to $10 000. Mr. Davis, of New York, mpyed reducr tion for newspapers and stationery iur members from $25 to $12 each.

Mr. MorrilJ moved to strike' o'ut the whole appropriation. Mr. Davis said it would be necessary to epeal the law allowing meinbere stationery and newspapers.- It would be house to make appropriation unless the law was epealed.

Mr. Morrill—We will do it. & Mr. Davis—And I will vote for it. After discussion Mr. Davis' amendment was- rejected and Mr. Morrill's withdrawn.

Mr. Davis, of Ne\^ York, moved to strike out the appropriation for reporters for the Congressional" Globe, understanding that the publishing of proceedings of Congress could be done at public printing offices at sixty thousand a year cheaper than in the Globe.

Mr. Dawes said the question of the Globe was up every session and yet anew contract was being made every year, and he was willing to abide by the contract.

After further debate and without disposing of the question, the Committee rose.

Mr. Coburn offered a resolution orillmu for information as to the aggregate of expenditures for public and private purposes in the District of Columbia since the establishment of the seat of government.

At three o'clock Mr. Cobb, of Wisconsin, announced the death of his late colleague, Benj. F. Hopkins, at Madison, Wisconsin, on the 1st of January. After brief eulogy of the deceased, and the usual resolutions of condolence, the House at 3:30 adjourned until to-imu-row.

EXPLOSION OF THE HAFICIE

SENATE.

Mr. Williams, from the Committee on Public Lands, reported with amendment a bill granting land to aid construct ion of a railroad from Columbia River to 1'iiget Sound.

Mr. Morrill, Vt., from Committee on Public Grounds, reported a bill to enlarge the public grounds surrounding the Capitol passed.

Mr. Sherman introduced the following

preamble and resolution: WHEREAS, The United Stites with deep concern the civil isting in Cuba, and sympatlilse people as with the people of all American nations or colonies in their efforts to secure independence from Europern powers, therefore be it

now exwith its

Mesolved, That the United States recognize the present existence of a state of war between the Kingdom of Spain and the colony of Cuba ,and a war waging on the part of Cuba to establish its independence, the'United States will observe strict neutrality betwoen the belligerent parties as is their duty under the law of nations.

Mr.iShcrman said he desired to call the attention of tl\e Committee on Foreign Relations to the fact that the people of this country would not much longer tolerate the cold indifference of this government toward Cuban affairs. It was but natural that a struggle like that now progressing so near our own border should touch the national heart.

He trusted the Committee would take some action with a view to securing fair play on onr own part between Cuba and Spain. His resolution did not propose to recognize Cuban independence, but sim*ply the fact of actual warfare.

Mr. Pomcray suggested the resolution be amended so to declare that Cubans were not only fighting for independence, which was their due, but for freedom also.

Mr. Sumner said the Commitee on Foreign Relations had somewhat considered the subject, but the facts before them as to the actual condition of Cuban affairs were not sufficient to warrant definite action

Mr. Sherman said that Spain had built thirty gunboats in onr ports to put down what was said to be a.little rebellion, that was sufficient warrant for his resolution.

A question of order by Mr. Davis, that in its present stage the resolution wa not debatable, being affirmed by the Chair,

the Union Pacific Railroad. ful that this will ever be done.«

Mr. Nye introduced a bill to relinquish the interest of the United'States in the military reservation in: San Francisco.

Mr. Corljptt introduced a bill granting lands to aid construction of a canal in Oregon.

On motion of Mr. Ramsey the. bill to abolish the franking privilege was taken

NP-

Mr. Drake renewed his amendment to continue existing privileges of the law in favor of publishers of newspapers and periodicals. He said.the trne policy Was to encourage the circulation of country papers.

Mr. Conkling favored the amendment and advocated the passage of the bill. Mr. Morton expressed himself in favor of abolishment of the franking privilege. He did not think the government would save one- dollar by the proposed reform, but preferred the present measure should be perfectly perfected so that the same ground would not have to be gone over again hereafter.

At this point the morning hour expired, and the bill was laid aside. Mr. Ilamlin moved to take up the District of Columbia bill. Not agreed to, 22 to 23.

Consideration of the Mississippi bill was then proceeded with. Mr. Yickers spoke in arraignment of the reconstruction policy.

Mr. Willcy supported it, and Mr. Tipton opposed it. Mr. Drake called attention to the fact that Senators who had seen fit to attack the Senator from Massachusetts were those who, upon reconstruction measures, had taken sides with Democrats. What was the meaning of this coming together in the Senate of hitherto opposing and discordant elements in opposition to the policy which the Republican majority in both Houses had hitherto sustained? If Conservative Republicanism was to develop itself in the Senate as opposed to radical Republicanism, he desired the fact to be stated, so it might be known at once.

Mr. Fowler made somd remarks upon general subjects, which called up Mr. Nye, who desired to know on which side the Senator had spoken. When that Senator first came to the Senate he could not get muskets eppugh to slaughter rebels, but he subsequently changed liis opinions.

Mr. Fowler replied that if the Senator from Nevada had occupied the position which he held during the most trying period of the war, his voice might not now be so loud, or his consistency so well established.

Had he (Fowler) in former times helped the slave drivers of the South hunt down slaves, he would manifest a more tender feeling than had been shown by the Senator from Nevada.

He claimed that if[ the boasted friends of freeedom in the Legislatures of Massachusetts, New York and Missouri had been faithful to the cause, he would not hnve cracked his whip near as long as he did.

Mi-. Nve remarked that the difference ibptweeja" himself and the Senator l'rom Tennessee was, that his own were the tollies of youth, while those of the Senator from Tennessee were the fpllics of age.

The colloquy was terminated finally by the Chairman expressing his opinion that the words "returned to hia wallow," used by Mr. Nye were not in oraer.

At 4:40 a message was received from the House announcing the death of Repscntative Hopkins, of Wisconsin. Remarks in honor of the deceased were made by Messrs. Carpenter and Howe, and after adopting the usual resolutions of respect the Senate adjourned^until Mondav. fSJTi' *T '-n*. IMS

The steamer Yille de Paris put into Halifax last night, short of coal, the vovv age having been prolonged by the storm. She will reach this port on Sunday.

CONCERNING MEDICAL STUDENTS. On account of the annoyance which laily students from the Women's Medical College have been subjected, at the hands of their masculine fellow students attenditijjilinics at Bellevuc Hospital, thcCoiuJhioners of charities and correction have empowered the Warden to cause the arrest of any person guilty of such conduct in the future.

THE CONCRETE PAVEMENT The Sanitary Committee have made a report to the Board of Health upon the Fisk'concrele pavement on Fifth Avenue. They submit evidence that the fine dust to which the pavement has been ground, is making sickness and death to the residents and visitors ou the Avenue. Cases are given where it has produced sore eye51 and chronic catarrh, and has hastened consumption. It also penetrates the windows and doors of houses, and ruins furniture and decorations within. Removal of the pavement lias already been com menced by a large'force of workmen. 4^

"WINDOW FAST."

Thisis decidedly the best and most important invention of modern times. Its simplicity and wonderful adaption both for HOUSE and CAR WINDOWS is perfectly astonishing: accomplishing everything that can possibly be desired, and yet being cheaper than any other window fast. For house windows it dispenses with weights and pullys, operating equally well on top and bottom sash, allowing either to bo raised or lowered as much or little as wished to secure ventilation,and yet be locked securely at every point, from'tho intruder or burglar, and will never get out of order. It has tho peculiar element of locking itself in whatever position you leavo it. lor steam or horse car windows they are finished in a variety 6f styles, making an olegant finish to tho car windows, and the only arrangement ever introduced that can never fail.

The lIoBge Fasts for sale by all Hardware Doalers. Liberal inducements to Agents.— Send for descriptive circulars and prices. &c.
