From the Cincinnati Gazette. Catholicism and the Public Schools.

The Catholic Telegraph extracts from Mr. Groesbeek's.address fit Mi- " ami University that part in which he exhorts the professors to. shun the paths that conduct to atheism or rationalism in any: form, -and to teach religion as the chiet of science; for "religion is thtf instrumentality by which you may promote that ' good , education' required by the terms of our charter," and it remarks upon this: "Why did not Mr. Groesbeck advocate these doctrines when he was a member of the Constitutional Con- " vention of Ohio? Why did he give his vote to fasten forever on the people the atheistical common school system? ' - . - . In the Roman , Catholic idea, our public schools are - athistical," because they do not teach the Roman Catholic religion. . In th same idea the American Government is atheis-i tical because it has no tate religion. In the Roman Catholic idea all secular affairs, when not controlled by the Church, are atheistical. The logic of this is that there must be no secular affairs. All must be under the control of the priesthood. The power of the State must increase the ; power of the Church. The Government of Rome ia the perfection of the Roman Catholic idea of civil Government. A government in which the Prince is a humble subject of the Pope, whose word can bring him to his gate barefooted and bareheaded to supplicate forgiveness, is next to that. And a government to support and defend the Church which the Pope appoints and rules, and to prohibit all other religion, is the ' largest latitude to civil government that the Roman Catholic idea can allow. And yet this Roman Catholic idea can adopt itself to popular Government, 8S we have seen, 60 as to preserve the supremacy of the church in the State, although nominally church and State may be separate. It is by the spiritual power . over. the. consciences 'of individual i members of the bodv Dolitic in all affairs. And to this end the church must never let . them escape for one moment from its influence, from the - cradle to tle : grave. , And even beyond, that it, re- ; tains a grip which makes its power .more fearful to the friends left be -'hind. !-'. ; ' The theory which adapts the Ro man Catholic idea "to popular govern ment, was very ingeniously stated in an article entitled, "Church and State," in the Catholic World magazine for April. It was a review of the essay of Donoso Cortes, on Catholicism, Liberalism and Socialism, the main doctrine of which is, that as all things are from God, the union of the Church and State is the divine order. This the Catholic World dissents from, although it admits that it is best for Europe but then it proceeds to unfold its ideas of a unity of Church and State for such a jrovernment as ours, which is founded on the same theory, and arrives at practically the same result.1 The theory is that the State rests on the equal rights of all men. but the equal rights themselves must rest on something, and as they do not re?t on the. State are not. derived from the State therefore, they must come from God, for there is no other source to come from or rest 'upon but Gl and. the State, ''The "equal" risrlits, then which are with us the bas!s of ,the State, depend themselves on the fchurch, or spiritual; order f?r their support. ' Of course, in the il ican Catholic idea, the name of God means in. the affairs of this world, the Robran Catholic Church. The writer continues: "Hence political principles jtnust find their support in theology, and the separation of Church .and State in the sense of separating political from theological principle is as Hostile to tne tate as to the ;hurcb and to liberty as to religion." The. State being , based on equal rights, and the, equal rights being jbased on God, therefore the State derives - all its authority from' God, and -hence' the' ""political atheism " which affirms that - the ''Church; has nothing to do with polities denies" the j-ight of the State to exist. " Political "atheism is,, then, ah' ke destructive ; of religion and polities Chureh and State, : of, 'J authority, and . liberty.", Therefore "the permanent, universal, and: invariable principles' of, civil societies are all .theological-, principles." They come within the province of , thV theologian,'' not. of the statesman, and are therefore to be determined by the spiritual society, not by the civil." ..(,.., i - The Writer; hasus retupthe Church-aBthe:-oua4ain-'of human rights, andas supreme in political afself." Its adaptation to practical use in this Government, where everyperson is part of the; ruling power, is ob'vious.'All political principles being theological principles, and the spiritual order having -itheaaBiei authority in them, the p6Kticaltlcori'ScSences of all good Catholics;, will be subject to . their ..direction. " Herein-.: is, " a true unity, not union, of jPbtiiJch.'.rjd State." ' ."'.Ta jiii To make this, perfecti .id;ty:' ' c: Church and Staterthe Roman Qli.olie idea is that the tur($yttfuf ,c.bij- .'. trol every step in the iytraininr f youth. - We have- ;seen '-ho'w'rriitfii, further than this qtheJogic"of tlie doctrine goes,1 for Sfcwou!d make atheism Of all pubH?; affaijf hJrV'gc! ; not Subject to the Church BTsd.vSuii: deprive - them of theit" rightto re., And the writer in the CaTMiMW&, while affirming that the Church : does; not desire to change this relation, which will be perfected ia the unity

lairs, and ne nasuone it by losic so coent th&ja r there f rying this without , denying reason jt-

of Church and State, declares that it ia doubtful if the authority of the State or the liberty of the citizen will he r "e without the supremacy, oL the Church.,. . , , . , Hence, the Roman Catholic Church resists the Public Schools as atheistical, because they are not : louder her control. Her system of education must be ecclesiastical and political. She opposes the State, provision for general education, bccauseitiloes not teach the Roman Catnolic, religion, and the , Roman i Catholic rehgio-n means the supremacy'of , the Church in politics. In her system, we . see a power assuming a, higher authority over the consciences f. her subjects than that of the State for she holds the spiritual power from which the State derives its authority assuming that all political principles are -theological principles, and that the office of the State is simply to apply the plinciples which the Church decla es:

holding her subjects in a close politi'cal and religious organization,-under an ecclesiasticism which denies that any affairs are secular, or out of her jurisdiction, and which believes that the supremacy -of political affairs, making a perfect unity of Churchy and State, is' necessary to the preservation of civil and religions liberty. ! We have looked upon the1 ; Catholic hostility to the public school system as but the naturaisjealousy that a church which for centuries had been accustomed ? to role 1 Governments, might feel when thrown into state which has ho religion, and in which Protestants largely preponderated. We have regarded it as the result of a not unnatural feeling of alienism, and have supposed that this jealousy of governmental institutions not under their control might perhaps have been increased by some over zealous introduction of religious service.-? or of books into the schools, that were objectionable to the Catholics. In. this view, we have hoped that this alienage from the nuhlie institu tions whichthe 'American people believe to be essential to .the public welfare, and which are certainly very popular, would be temporary, and that ere long the Catholics would merge their schools' in the public school system, and take their rightful share in their direction,' not as, a Church, but as citizens. Inasmuch as all school education is nearly the same, and as the standard schoolbooks have nothing objectionable to any religion, it was believed by the American people that school education could he provided at the expense of the State, without trenching on the parental or Church province of religious training, and we have hoped that the Catholic Church would in time conform to the American system of common school : education in secular learning, and would be content with the province of religious training where it would still hold, and within which it could concentrate all its efforts. But when we see the Catholic magazine, which has distinguished itself by a semblance of liberal ideas, laying down this theory that the Church is the fountain of fhe authority of the State, and that spiritual control over political affairs is . the unity of the Church and State, and that without this the State is nothing but political atheism; and when we see the Catholic Telegraph, to which, also, we used to look for , liberal - ideas, cnaracterizlLg our system of public education as " the atheistical common school systeW,"1 we have to conclude that no progress has yet been made in this 'desired Americanization, and that the Roman Catholic. theory does not admit of it. " ' ' '- - Is this theory likely to prevail in America? Will this ecclesiastical organization of the Catholic population which asserts its supremacy over jerViisaffairin.J life f he 3ikelyj:io secure that suprenjaey. in our politics which the Catholic world declares necessary to rescue, the State from political atheism, and to make the true unity of Church and State? For-; midable as a balance of political power it undoubtedly will be, . but in any direct issue it will -always combine all, the .other elements against it, and these when united, will always be the stronger. And, furthermore,; the more rigidly -that tshnrch attempts! to draw its ecclesiastical power,, the; sooner will it lose, its i control. Thej growth of it.siinfluenee in this'c'Outt-! trv depends on its conformity, to the spirit of the American institutions.: Our Government doeg not go hack of the rights of man to find its authori-i tv. nor will it berlikelv to oopnt nnvl - priesthood ii Ihe expounders or that. autnonty, nor as-ine directors ot po-j litical affairs 'upon thatl assumption.

THE EVANS VILiLjE DAILY JOURN AD. TUESDAY. AUGUST 27, 1867.

The Wlue Troduct of California. The State or California now pro duces about 3.500,000 gallons of wine worth on an average cents per gal Ion, or $1,250,000 in the aggregate The Alta Ualifornian says: "'lhis is the estimate of the vintage of 1867 which, in spite of the late frosts and cold and backward Spring, curtailing the vield. will be in considerable ex cess of the product of 18GG. In addi tion to this.' we shall this year pro duce -about 100.000. gal Ions of pure brandy, worth $2 50 per gallon, or an azereffate ,of,$250.000. So rapid is the fnerease'of our vineyards, the in crease of the annua! vintage may safe ly beJ estimated at 2o or 50 per cent, on that of each preceding year. The child is born who shall yet see Califor nia producing 100,000,000 gallons of wine annually. A single wine nouse of this city shipped last year more than 100.000 worth of wine to the Atlantic States, and has exported Since April, 1807, $35,000 worth. The "''quality is improving in a greater ratio Mhan the product is increasing, and California now furnishes several varieties of wine which European con noisseurs acknowledge to be equal to anything produced by any vineyard outside of the Golden state. Notwithstanding a large number of soldiers in rrussia have been dis missed to their homes, the Augsburg Gazette maintains " this pacific atti tude is very deceptive." " Never," says that authority. " has there been so great an activity in the . military factories, and in all tne arsenals E verything is arranged in such a man ner that the Prussian army could at once enter upon a campaign, should that become necessary. At Somverda, where the first needle guns were manufactured, as well as at opandau, and at Suhl, the work goes on unceas ingly, rrussia at tnis moment is in a position to arm with rifles of a new and perfect construction not only the whole of the infantry or the iNorthern Confederation, but also the first ban of the landwhef, and if necessary, the second. . A New Orleans correspondent of the ot. .Louis - Republican recently wrote' an extraordinarily absurd' lie about-General Sheridan's luxurious habits and-hunger for. pomp. , He sketched the' General's turnout as a landau, drawn by six gaily plumed horses, most elaborately caparisoned oheridan and his staff were extravagantly bedecked with gold lace, glit tering epaulettet, and showy orders, The, escort consisted of only two regi ments of cavalry Of this transparently, false story, the New Orleans Times, (Conservative,) says: "It is ridiculously ' untrue. Gen fehendan, however deficient he may be in statesmanship, is at least a sol dier, and no court fop. He does not trot himself out as a show, like the spotted horse in the circus. If he has ambition at- all, which is scarcely to be doubted, he carries it under a modest mask." Summer ,Beterage. t Here is a recipe for making ginger beer, a very wholesome and refreshing Summer beverage: Put two gallons of cold water into a pot upon the fire, add to it two ounces of good ginger, bruised, and , two pounds of. white .or brown sugar. Let this come to a boil, and continue boiling for about half an hour. Then skim the liquor" and pour it into a jar or tub. along with one sliced lemon and half an ounce of cream of tartar. When nearly cold put in a teaspoonf u?l f yeast, to cause the liquor to woTk". " The beer is now made; and after it has worked for. two days, strain. it.,and, bottle it for trsef 'ii down the corks-firmly. QUEENSWARI .- li HOLLINGSWORTH BROS., IMPORTERS OF ' " '.; . ! t: '.

THE - RAILROAD CO.

Their FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS ; AS AJT IXYESTME5T. The rapid progress of the . Union Pacific Kailroad, now.bulldlng west from Omaha, Nebraska, and torming, wJUVJts western connections, an unbroKen line across the continent, attracts attention to the va.ue of the- First Mortgage Bonds which the Company now offe'- to the' public.'' The first question asked by prudent Investors Is. "Are these bonds rscureT." , Next. "Are they a profitable investment?"- To reply in brief: . lt- The early completion of the whole great line to the Pacific is as certain as any future business event can b. The Gov ernment grant of over twenty i million acres of land and fifty million dollars in Its own bonds practically guarantees it, One-fourth of the work Is already done, and the track continues to be laid at the rate of two miles a day. 2d. The Union Pacific Railroad bonds are issued upou what promises to be one of the most profitable lines of railroad in the country. For many years it must be the only line connecting the Atlantic and Pa ciflc: and being without competition, it can maintain remunerative rales. 3d. Four hundred and twenty-five miles of this road are finished, and fully equip ped with depots, locomotives, cars, Ac, and two trains are daily running each way. Ti.e materials for the remaining ninety-two miles to the eastern base of the Rocky Mountains are on hand, and It is under contract to be done in September. 4th. The net earnings of the sections already finished are several time greater than the gold interest upon the First Mortgage Bonds upon such i-ections, and if not another mile ot the road were built the part already completed would not only pay interest and expenses, but be profitable to the Company. 5th. The Union Pacific Railroad bonds can be issued only as the road progresses, and therefore can never be in -the market unless they represent a bona-fide property. 6th. The amount-is strictly limited by law to a sum equal to what Is granted by the U. 8. Government, and for which It takes a tecond lien as its security. This amount upon the first 517 miles west from Omaha is only f le.nw per mile, i . ' 7th. The fact that the V, R. Government considers a second lien upon the road a good investment, and that some of the shrewdest railroad builders of the country have already paid in five million dollars upon the stock (which 1 to them a third lien), may welt . Inspire confidence In a first lien. ... 8th. Although it is not claimed that there can be any better securities than Governments, there are parties who consider a first mortgage upon such property as this the very best security in the world, and who t-ell their Governments to re-invest In these bonds thus securing a greater Interest. 9th. As the Union Pacific Railroad boads are offered lor the present at 90 cents on 1 the dollar and accrued interest, they are i the cheapest security in the market, being j moie than 15 per cent, less than U. K. stocks. 10th. At the current rate of premium on gold, they pay i Over Ainc per Cent. Interest.
