votes oi nifl fellow citizens. They may undertake to palliate the great j/kAog'jotlf 1rbich&hey have beenjpipty, by the assertion that he was not qualified for "the omceV Let' us suppose,'for the sake of argument, that he was not competent, ated thslt. the services of a, deputy wete necessary. In that case it was his tight t'6 nominate .his deputy: ^anjpft^bi right nohonqrable man should have dreamed of depriving him. But the Mayor end Council insolently ignored his rights, and by,precegp^ftiiji worrying andTfrow-heafing &^ftellfdbiih to submit to virtual diaplacement,vpnd s^e a man totally unacceptable toRm appointed as deputy, and treated, to al! intents anij .purposes, as City. Clerk.

But we undertake to deny the charge oTincompetency, and with a ftffl and accurate knowledge of the^facla in the case, we declare that TXAWBX L. VICKEBY, the one-legged soldier whom the patridtic people of Terre Haute elected iothe ofiice• of Clerk, would have been fully compe-. tent and able to discharge ill the duties, of that office, had he been treated with the kindness andcourtcsy that were due to him, and that almost any man. would have been glad to show to one in his position. He needed instruction in the details of his duties, a* the position was a new one. A maimed comrade was able and-willing to give him that instruction but it was the purpose of the Mayor and Democratic majority of the Council to 'tak fe ^pbssession* of his office, and they coldly turned a deaf ear to the request that he might bring a friend into the Council chamber to help him familiarize himself with the details of his duties. ,. Having persistently discouraged and -disheartened him,' their Beit step was to refuse to confirm his nomination of a deputy, although the tromifa&lwas' ode of the most thoroughly competent men for thej ^placeTIIat ^al|'1^Ye']E^rir6an^Sr th*e city. And this ci'uelly nhjtist act was followed by the appointment of Mr. TOLBERX, wlfh a 'salary of %7&0, while the Clerjc, overridden, ignored and set aside, -was allowed oiily $500. Thus-, the poot crippled young man was shamefully: driven from his plade. A Democratic raid 'ton a one-legged soldier captured the office of. City Clerk, and. the raiders have 'sineerheldit.

Something About "JJmse,". The Journal has a great deal to s^ay kbo^t'the "abase of-' j^reignera" by the EXPRESS, although the Democratic organ knows—as does every reader of this paper,—that not olae Word of "abuse of for-' eigtoers,"'otaiiy. other kind of "abuse" .lias appeared in ottf cot&mna. We have: Tepeatedly stated that we afe, glad to wel-j come to this country and to the blessings! of our free Government the "children of jevery land, and we carenot^Wtaman's religious views may be, provided that 4ie obeys the laws and departs himaelf a good cititen. And we challenge any paper, or any person to, find in the 'files of the EXPI^ a single ljrie of fjtbuseofforeigners" or their religion.'

We-discuss principles, and the Journal declines to disouss them. We show from Democratic and. Catholic organs-quo-ting literally their own worda—what the alliance'proposes to acconlpliflli. and the Journal has no repljr td make except to raise. the false and. senseless cry of *assie?''r

If this charge can be properly made Against siiiy paper, inf£iHhis city, the Journal is "that paper, for there is no citizen who does not remember how the old Know Nothing "virus'' cropped out not many months ago, in dirty doggerel abusing ST. PATRICK on St. Patrick's Day! This was a premeditated, malicious insult, not only to foreign-born citizens, hut to their religion, showing the "virus" of Know Kothingism that the lapse of long years has not eradicated.

Ask the Irishmen of Terre Haute how they felt When they 8aw the memory of their Patron Saint, on his natal day, thus malignantly insulted in their own party organ, and you will find that they, have 'spirit and manliness enough to. resent one of the vilest indignities ever perpetrated on any class of men. ..

oaent, men local 1i!-

The enemies of the free school system1 have set us an example of plain talk on this subject. The great exponents of Catholic and Democratic sentiment have left no room for doubt as to the purpose of the alliance. What could be plainer than this from the Tablet: "No, gentlemen, that will not do apd there is no help but in dividing the public schools, or in abolishing the public schools altogether." iAndyet when^we «{py tjiat aijcfofher utterances Of a similar '5haracter, Ihowing the hatred which the allies bear to our free schools, we are met—not with argument, not even with a feeble attempt at argument but with the cry .of "religious persecution." Well, we have become used to that style of answer, and hav6 learned to c^^St Onlythat and piisonal, abuse from the organs of the allies. But this senseless tactics of our opponents will apt 4^eS,A8.&om teriaL which, those organs ..s^plji such» for ihsta&c^,"as~this extract from Bishop PUBCELL'S home org^n^ the^ Cja^Kjlic Telegraph:

"Th«$ jwpul«f se^ool: system is a soctaZ! cdncer,, presaging the death of nationa.1 merality, devouring the little' sense of religion that Protestantism instills into its.believers the toener, if- dekroyed the belter. It will be a glorious day for Catholics in this couhtry fh,en under the blows of justice and morality, QS.r.'SChpol system mil be skivered topieces^ 'i?^' SJJ I

Bead that, and look at the encrtaeli-' ments the allies have made and attempt, ed, see their openly declared purpose to destroy free, unsectarian Schools, and believe, if you are simple enough to do so, that we are sounding a false alar A.

And the same high authority says: "Among the enemies of these schools under their past and present organization, the Catholics are numbered. We haye refused to share in the secular instruction they impart, because we.aeem 'religious absolutely necessary for the education young. .' "All we Catholics want is our share of the public money. On this sure basis all our difficulties could be promptly settled."

There, in the plainest possible terms, so clear and distinct that a child cannot misunderstand, is the most frank, full and candid^admission,—of what?. Of ALL that we have ever charged in this controversy, tot. wit: that the allies are the enemies of our free schools, and that they seek to destrpy the system by diverting1 money dedicated to theijf support from its legitimate purpose to the maintenance of church schools. This saide organ, the CbtAoiie Telegraph, speaking*of the public schools,-saysr-

We forhid the attend^pice/ of Catholic -children at these schools, because no Catholic parent can send his child to a schopl from which his religion is excluded without A violation of conscience, for us the «f teaching tfthe cfrurclf on this point is final—from it tl^ere canrbe no appeal, because it is the authority of God.

There is a greSt dStl-in that little parr agraph! It Win begr clofce study. Look at it and ponder it well, f^r it is full of meaning.

TERREHAUTE,

A Grim Joker. makes afeebie attempt to

construe the petition of Mr. SCHOEMEHL, Father FALLER and othera, for a portion of tbajmhlic school mqtvfjAfr he used in

into a. suggestion of "tbe of using a Catholic school house and teacher." Our vstreet cotemporary has

!*aa^£iis)ps

more ludicrous than this. The idea that the object of that movement was to increase thepublieschoolfactlities byadding thereto a building and a teacher ii' altogether "too funny." .But there may he some, solemn people 4rikbfe W^e«the MriP» joke, and liable to take its language as seriously meant and fqrihe^benefUof rius limited /»umlw|

The document reads thus:' Having heard that the capacity of our public school houses is insufficient for all-the children of our city: we the undersigned citizens of Terre Haute and stockholders of the schooliouse on tie northeast.comer of Ninth and Walnut ttreeti, would respect futtyietition the honorable abov^ named' School Bord to accept the use of our school house, mththe underitanding that Mr. J• P. Vetqtte, a licensed XwHie tekoot.teacher_ef our city be tUfeathcr aqd •thai the 'ehUdrenvSino ther* to seho& be &e*mtt, ted to continue to do to. The school house is Iwell arranged and ventilated, provided with proper ..school desks and all* other, requirements.

Please grant our petition, at least for the next school year, you paving the whole or at Uastpart Of the Salary of Mr. J. P. Vesque, which it f80&er month, from our puMtcciCy school fund.

Everybody whose verdancy is not ineradicable Will Understand that the allusion to the crowded condition of the public school buildings is a mere pretext, and everybody knoWs that had there been superfluous room jn oi^r public school houses foPa thousand pupils not one df Mr. VESQUE'S scholars Srould have occojiied an ipch of it, because the Boman Catholic Church forbids its adherents to send their ..children to public schools, iand strict Catholics will not do it.

Stripped' of all Irrelevant verbiage, the petition simply CALLS FOB A PORTION WE THE.SUBIJLC SCHOOL ICOJNIET, TO .BK USED, UR THB'8CPP0RT OF A BOKAS CATAOLIC CHURCH SCHOOL, and no amount of ingenuity can possibljr maie anything else out of it. This is all we have ever claimea tliat it called for,and it is a great deal more' than is likely to: be quietly, conceded foe if that petition were grantied, it would be precedent for the establishment of aqy number of Catholic or other church schools-, to be ^supported from the public school funds it wouldba the'signal for another encroachment of the allies, -to be followed by others in rapid |t£gces8ipn^,until jir^f schooL systttn "would'exis't only in lustory. ThiB^ every, one sees who looks at the subject in the light pf history and experience.

We .have no words that will more fitly close this article than the following from pur last issue, and we think t&eir solemn truth entitles them to serious considera: tion:-H-. -. i. mr,-

We fikve noi a weird to 'i^y in dispuagement of "Mr. J. P. Vesque" as a Btrj ©lw»a?alier, Roman Catholic priest who signed this'' ftetiti6a.r"^iqr: nwy be, for all'we know,: very good "and fa6Apetent men, for the work they hav&{ to do. But rthis w»,, venture* to ^assert,- for^ both o^thenf," that they would consider it their highest and most religious duty to teaeb every child! tinder their care, tfittfc they owed a higher allegiance to the j$oman Catholic Church, and to the Pope of Borne, as its infallible head, than to the State of Indlhiba or the United SutesJ Ithey did not do Jhis, they »ottlas*idlate the commands of their churcl^.—whjicji. neither of them, we suppose, is inclinedand that ocr^tio canpkrtof our commpn school fund to be employed by them fo^thejlrebt.jbtortoseql cafifgWcb a sentiment as this^^intortne minds of the children under their charge. Let the voters of Terre Haute remember this. It presents a question far higher Uian.. p^t|y—foft-it is wit the beg of an attempt' to aeitroy oar com schools, and to substitute for them another class Of-schools in which it shall be taught, as a religious duty, that the first, and highest, and chiefest allegiance to be rendered is that to the Pope of Borne, and to his Cardinals, Bishops and Priests. ,i

IN the city election, at Lafayette, as our readers knoy, the school question hfi3..beeB made tn^issne h*a l-»a attempt of tfie Cailiolic-Democratic lliance to control the public schools. The following paragraph from the Lafayette Dispatch, the Democratic,' of tlba* city And sedion' showsiiaw faithfully the Democratic party proposes lo .carry out its pfctt" of the prdgtfciime ^crknged by the allies: "Let the Protcstaat fOBBlatto* fcsj* the schools as now coastltatM, Aad let tU aintf of the Catholic taxpayer Dt set aside la the Treasury for Ms use, or better still, let the certificate of fall membership In the Catholic 'gffjfflrff •ttfr'***'*-

That presents the issue squarely enough but not more clearly and palpably than it has been presented in this city where our Schpol Bjard ,has beet ^{»]|ed fo»a^propriate- school imoifty ^to1 ropjfcrt a Catholic school in which the Catholic Religion is taught where a Catholic Councilman iir~ Ope* -Council hahboUly made war on the schools, declaring substantially, that our Common Schools, [W|re- of jso use.-r-^jat Qatholics could not »sekd jo ^nd tti^t ^h| vould not vote to raise any more school funds unless the
