VIOLATORS of, the new fish law, at Indianapolis, are being prosecuted, convicted and fined.

CAN the Evansville papers tell us what are the prospects of that city as to "steel rails" now that the election is over?

THE Cincinnati Times was sold to the Chronicle yesterday for $138,000. The two establishments will be concolidated

KEEP it before the people that ''Democratic economy" consists in hiring money at eighteen per cent, interest for the need less and uncalled-for redemption of paper bearing six per cent, interest.

So FAR as we are informed, no person has yet been actually committed to jail, and but one threatened with commitment, for contempt of the County Comniitwipn era Court, although it can not be denied that said Court is an object of almost universal contempt.

DEMOCRATS who tend us long'comma nications denouncing reckless bridge* building are respectfully referred to the Journal and Commissioners. One of our correspondents is also reminded that a good Democrat, like him, shouldn't uee "swear words" when writing&>r the press^ They wouldn't look well in print.-••

THERE is not a single Democratic candidate who dare3 to publish, over hia signature, a pledge that, if elected, he will oppose every effort to divert any portion of the school money from the support of our free, secular schools.

There is no candidate on the Democratic ticket who dares to pledge himself to oppose the demand for money to support a Roman Catholic school, should that demand be repeated, as it certainly will be if the Democracy carry this election.

We raise no false alarm, but assert what we know to be true when we say ito the friends of our public schools that :this demand is sure to be repeated, and tto be insisted upon, if the Democracy succeed in the pending canvass.

And we ask any reasonable man to look at the Democratic party of this city—to see how it is constituted and how controlled—and tell us how such a party, thus constituted and thus controlled, dependent for its all on the votes of the enemies of froe schools, can refuse compliance with that demand. It cannot, dare not, will not refuse.

"Onr Brutus."

Our Government will undoubtedly do something under the Ku Klux act for the suppression of that order of savages. Representative Perry seems to have given the watchword of the administration— "It means business."

It is evident that the Ku Klux mean business—business of the most' terrible character. They go to a man's liouse, call for him, and,- as in the case of the news of yesterday, shoot him down, and his wile and daughter, who stood by his side.

Constitution or no Constitution, human nature will not, can, not. endure it. The innocent must be protected, and the enemies of their kind, must be hunted down at whatever cost.

We understand from Northern persons who go South for health or on business, ithat the malice of the people against the JN'orth is more intense than ever before. A lady informs us that when she sojourned in Mississippi she heard scarcely anything ^except curses against the North, and that in the house wnere she enjoyed hospitality hatred of the North constituted the sonl of even their music.

Young ladies sang at the piano such pieces as "Onr Brutus" (Wilkes Booth)) the model of courage and virtue in contrast with the tyrant Lincoln whom he assassinated.—Cincinnati Times.

The above derives additional importance from the fact that the Tiuies is violently opposed to the administration. It utters a sentiment- that all but the Ku Klux and their friends will indorse when it says: "Constitution or no Constitution, the inn&ent must he protected."

TWENTIETH YEAR.

QUOTING extracts from leading Catholic journals, to show hour the DemocraticCatholic allianco proposes to destroy our public school system, is called "religious persecution," by members of that alliance. It seems to us the fairest and kindest of all modes of discussion, and it is not our fault that the extracts breathe a spirit of malignant hatred.

THE Journal forgets that "the editor of the EXPRESS" is not one of the issues in the pending canvass. The affairs of an editor are of no more interest to the public than those of a grocer, a carpenter, a lawyer, "or any other man." We have no time to waste on personalities, and no inclination to impose on our readers by discussing matters in which they have no interest and which are not within the proper scopc of journalism. The Journal -will find it quite impossible to change ihis contest to one of a personal character, and it might as well try to shoot an alligator with boiled peas as to disturb the equanimity of the writer of this paragraph by using all the choice epithets in its select vocabulary.

THE morning radical paper must excuse lis from entering into a religious discussion with it.—J a

That is the way the Democratic organ takes to get out of a discussion upon the great question whether our schools shall be maintained on their present basis, er whether the school money shall be divided and church schools be supported thereby. It is by no means "a religious discussion," but a discussion of the most important question now agitating the public mind. But though our careful neighbor declines to discuss this great, live issue, it does not decline to support for an important office a gentleman who is an acknowledged leader in the movement for a division of the school money, and who signed a written demand for such a division. By supporting him for office THE OROAN AND THE PARTY INDORSE THAT DEMAND. ina

Plain Talk on a Live Issue. Our Common School System is the pride of our people: because, besides the

intellectual cultivation it furnishes, it instills intd the mind a just sense of obligation to the State, and thus plants our political institutions upon a firm and solid basis. For this reason, the Roman Catholic Church has become its deadly enemy, and commands its members to keep their

away from the3eschools, because

they say that if they are thus educated, they cannot be good Catholics! Consequently they insolently demand that a part of the tax which the State raises for its public schools shall be handed over to tliem, so that their children shall be taught by Roman Catholic priests, whose highest pleasure it is to teach them that they owe a higher duty to the Pope,—as "God's vicegerent,"-^than they do to the State! And to all this the Democratic leaders say Amen, and pat the Roman Catholic priesthood and laity upon the back, so as to get their votes. The alliance thus formed is so complete that we do not believe that there is a single Boman Catholic newspaper in the United Stales that does not support the Democratic party I Nor is there a Democratic newspaper in the United States, within our knowledge, that dares to say a word against the most extreme and insolent demands of the Ilomish priesthood. But there are several of them ready to assail us, for having condemned, as we shall continue to do, these niquitous and Papv.l assaults upon our school system. The cry of Know-Noth-ingism, and all that Fort of stuff, will not change our course.

It is not yet two years since Archbishop PURCELL, of Cincinnati, made these declarations "The entire government of public schools in which Catholic youth are educated cannot be given over to the civil power. "We, as Catholics, cannot approve of that system of education for youth which is apart from instruction in the Caiholie faith and the teaching of the Church."

And Mr. MCMASTERS, of the New York Freeman's Journal, says: "1. We will not subject our Catholic children to your teachers. 2. We will not expose our Catholic children to association with all the children who have aright to attend the public schools.

I will not

suffer my child to go to the poor-house for its dinner, nor to wear the clothes of the alms-house, so long as I can prevent it. And as little will I suffer the political porver to dispense poor house instruction to my child."

MV'

Why all this opposition to education by the State—by the political power? Clearly, because it teaches the children to cherish and maintain the fundamental principles of our Government—one of the chief of which is toleration in religion. To all this Roman Catholicism is opposed, ^because it is intolerant of any other religion, and is opposed to any form of government which recognizes the equality of the people. It considers its hierarchy a superior and privileged class, and desires to make the State subordinate to them—so that they shall command the State what it shall, and 'what it shall not do— and, in order that they shall have full power to do this, the New York Tablet avows that, if they had the power in this country, they would not permit their clergy to be answerable before our civil co&rts for any crime! This is a part of their religion, and what they teach in their schools. And this is the system of education they will apply a part of our school fund to promote, if, by Democratic manipulation they can get control of our City Council and Mayor. Let every voter in the city take notice of this and govern himself accordingly.

The reason for this decision is, that it is deemed best to postpone further public effort for removal until the appointment of representatives under the recent census, to be made by the present Congress, shall have given to the central and western portions of the Union that just weight in the National Legislation to which their population entitles them. The committee further announce that they will continue to Use all worthy means to hasten the removal of the National Capital, express the belief that success will finally crown their efforts,

Previous to the opening of the game, it was officially announced by the Committee of Arrangements, that public betting be strictly prohibited in the Hall, and the audience being composed of the very best class of people, the result was that the game was one of the most quiet and orderly on record. There was some difficulty experienced in the choice of a referee, but the parties at last agreed upon John Y. Coon, of Chicago, and about 8:30 o'clock the game began. Dion won the bank and choice of balls.' The playing waft slow and careful atfirst, so that the first call in the 12th inning showed 101 for Parker, and 99 for Dion. Nothing of note occurred up to the 10th inning, when Parker, by a run of 51 carried his.string tip .to 209, Dion's being 163: At the close of the next inning Parker, by missing an easy shot, left all four balls in a bunch for Dion, who scored a run of 60, himself slipping up otra very easy shot.. Then Parker followed with 75, going to pocket off a count. Thia gate him the lead again, bnt not much of a lead, as a run of 60 by Dion brought him to 331, with Parker 337. Parker widened the gap, failing, by a difficult draw.

SPECIAT TO THE EVENING POST. WASHINGTON, April 26.—The alleged discovery of frauds perpetrated by M.

The French Charge D'Affaires says very positively, that so far as is known Mr. Place has perpetrated no frauds, and he is not suspected of having done so. The point of the matter is this: That he claims that under certain orders he is entitled to a commission on purchases, while the French Government takes an opposite view of the case. All the money in dispute has been placed in bank, to remain until the matter is finally disposed of.
