It! woum oe worm ms while to turn back and review the incidentn nf that nnrioil - , brief, but yet Ion enough to decisively determine the character of his Administration.

RssnoUtinn. .M el..an anil Intl. mate with a most unscrupulous n of 8peculators, the President pave him control of the TreasurylDepartment, also by putting into it Wm Windom, of the Topolibampo railroad and similar enter prises. The control of the War Department, and of the contracts for furnishing tombstones for Jthe national cemeteries, was given to the President of the Ver mont marble trust. The Postoffice Department was turned over to balance John Wanamaker's credit on the secret records of campaign bribery. A cotton dealer was set to rendering law decisions on appeals in pension cases. The pension office itself was turned over to a person remarkable only for his intemperate habits and his vociferous advo cacy of leaviag nothing iu the treasury. in tne rosiomce mpartment, practical control was given to the associate of Dudley in the Indiana frauds and in the conspiracy which resulted in the robbery of a New York newspaper office; and with much more of the same kind, the administration was within a few days after Mr. Harrison took the oath of office, thus fairly inaugurated. His first act as President, after getting his administration into working order, was to announce to Republican Con. greesmen and Senators that they were expected to co-onerate in dividing the spoils, which, under this plan, were parcelled out for division by States, with the Republican Senators and Congress men, where there were such, acting as patronage bosses over the States which elected them as Legislators, and holding format sessions as Boards of Perquisites to give to this or that henchmen, with out regard to fitness, some omoe. or "something equally as good." After six weeks, in the face of the most solemH platform pledges and per sonnl pledges mnde bv him when a can didate, his organs are boasting that in a single branch of a single depart meet 0 the public service, he has "broken the record" by turning out competent public servants and putting in over 3,000 of hi partisans. The same work has becu go ing 011 in all the other departments. While his Postmaster-General preach es Prohibition in Pennsylvania, he an points for Governor of a territory, a man too drunk to be confirmed for severs weeks after the nomination to the Sen ate. And this is only a trivial inciden a mere straw in the current setting ir resis'ibly towards that disregard o all decency he illustrated when he made Blaine Secretary of State, Windom jjec rotary of the Treasury, the Vermont marble trust Secretary of Tombstones aud Quay's breechps-making, corruption fund contributor rostmaster-ijenerai, To the Victors Belong the Spoils." He has looted and is still looting the of fices, and he has announced from the portico of the capitol that the Treasury must be emptied to Keep up the taxes. So much is a bare outline of events of public notoriety in the first forty days ot the administration of William neury Harrison's grandson ANOTHER EXTRAORDINARY CASE. Delirium Tremens Forms a Good Base for PeHsioaable Disability. Waohlngten Seeclal. The most extraordinary pension de cision yet is reported to-night. It was rendered by Corporal Tanner late this afternoon too late to get on record, and in consequence names and dates cannot be given until to-morrow. The substance of the decision, how ever, is this: About a year ago a widow annlied to Commissioner Black for a pension. Her husband was a soldier, and had died some time previouely. Comm seloner Black caused an invest! gation to be made, and found that the . . .aba a a . soldier died from delirium tremens, tie bad been a chronic drunkard for a number ot vears. He was not wounded In the armv. nor had he received any iniurv while in the service. Commissioner mack refused to grant tne pension. . a. a When Tanner was placed at the head of the Pension Bureau the widow, through one of the pension sharks residing here, renewed the application. To-dev Tanner reversed commissioner Black's decision and granted the pension. In his decision he made the extraordinary statement that the soldier might have contracted the habit which led to the fit of delirtnm from which he died while serving his country in the army. This sounds like a romance or a oke, but It is a fact. .Taaner is talking of cettinr the O. k M. R. R. to build a branch road to thai place.

BISHOP. C II ATA ItDg.TOJ.tlllS

A Pastoral to rest to Letter of Deep In Both Clergy mid Laity. As In iiis custom at this season. Bishop Chatard 1ms issued a pastoral letter to ihi- people.

As we look hnck upon what of it has jiouc by, we bhould ask ourselves whether we havo so appreciated it, or whether we have allowed ourselves to repine at the privation and self-restraint it calls for, ni'L'lectiiik' to conform to its spirit.

en memories, rich in merit and full of the spirit of good works which will continue to have a wholesome influence on their lives. They have in this way prepared themselves to celebrate, with protit, the solemn, touching and beautiful days of Holy Week, and to exalt in tho glorious fea-t of the resurrection, the day of triumph of Jesus Christ and the figuro of our own resuscitation, when we shall be like Him in all the glory of our spiritualized body. Let those, however, who have been hitherto careless of the advanages of lent, not bo downcast. Though it be the eleventh hour, thev mav still. I in the coming week, make od lor the past, and by thoughtful consideration of the passion of Jesus and of the sorrows of Mary, prepare themselves for the consolation of a good confession, and for the holy joys of an Easter communion. It 19 our duty to remind von. dearlv beloved brethren, that the time has come for tho discharge of a must important duty to contribute to.he support of the emiuary. Death or 'Usability of one kind or another, is always at work to thin out the ranks of the clergy, aud it s absolutely nocessary to supply the va cant places, and to this end to have ever on hand who may fill them. While some may be able to educate themselves, there must ever be a large proportion wno cannot, the councils of the church telling us that the bishops are bv pre ference to take the children of the poor, to whom tho Lord of all Grace is largely liberal with IJ is gifts pauperes divites tn iide 1 he poor rich in faith (St James ii, 6 ) Although we nsnnnt con demn the faitbtul ol the dlocease for neglect in this matter, since they have liberally contributed toward the educe tion of the clergy, the collections have sometimes fallen behind, aud have not tye not met the wants of lhediocee.

In this connection we wish to impress on evcrv one the importance of such a good work us that of aiding to maintain what Uoti has placed among us His church. No better charity could a Christian have part in at the hour of his death, and we earnestly recommend to every catholic not to forget the seminary in bis last will and testament. Large sums need not be left, if each one will take care to leave something for it. No will should le deemed a perfect one which does not leave something for the poor, and for the seminary. Un next bun day the annua collection will be taken up for the sup port of the seminarians of the diocese. and the proceeds win be sent to our right reverent vicar-general. Mgr. lies sonies. In accordance with the requirements of church discipline, his grace, tbe Most uev. Dr. Elder, archbishop of Cincinna ti, has convoked the fifth provincial council of the province to meet in Cincinnati Sunday May 19, next. In this council tbe interest of the church in each diocese of the province will be studied, and the result of the legislation of the late provincial and third plenary council be subjected to examination, and what ever is needful for the welfare of the faithful, will be presented for action by the Right Rev. Fathers. You will un derstand how incumbent it is on you, dearly beloved brethren, to aid this work by your prayers. The bishops assemble n the Holy Ghost toaoiiod s woric, ana they rely on the valued help of the prayers of their spiritual children. Therefore, do not neglect this pious and imperative duty. That it may be recalled to your attention, the Rev. Pastors will, on the first, second and third Sundays after Easter, briefly speak to you ot the council and of its utility. Also, after the high mass on Sundays and holidays, the priest will recite with the people the itanv of the B. V. M., with the prayer, "O God, who by the light of the Holy Ghost," and after the daily low mass, one Our Father, a Hail Mary, and the same prayer, beginning with Low Sun day and continuing tin tne end or tne council. Thus, in the union of prayer, persevering, we may confidently look for the assistance or Him wno is in tne midst of those gathered together in UU same We nave reoeiyea irons a com mm to 9tMixAir timn f New

representing the most reverend archbishop of New York, an appeal to have some religious ceremonios of thanksgiv ing to Almighty God in connection with the centennial of the inauguration of I George Washington as first president of the United htates, which takes place on the 30th of April. We enter very heart!. Iv into what is proposed. It is always a fitting thing to returu thanks to God, the apostle reminding us that our petitions should be thanks always. In this case there are most special reasons. Af ter the gtrugglo for independence pre sented to the throne of grace with offerings of Great Britain, in which catholic and protestnut alike took a part; in which catholic troops were shoulder to shoulder with the puritan on the battle field against the common foe; in which the Jesuit father, John Carroll, later the an associate of Benjamin Franklin, to bring about, through diplomacy, the bucccsr of the cause; in which a hitherto prejudiced people saw the soldiers and sailors of a catholic king assist with all the circumstance of military pomp, at the holy sacrifice of the mass, and go thence under the command of catholic leaders to fight for the freedom of our country, the legislators of the people met to draw up a constitution. The sight aud the remembranco of all this had softened their dispositions, and, in spite of the fact that aji the influence of their education naa Deen against tne toleration of catholics, they threw aside the shackles of the past, and, imitating the tolerant spirit of the catholic colony of Maryland, which long before had enacted a constitutional law of toleration of ail professing Christians of whatever denomination, they introduced this same spirit into the constitution of tbe Amen can people, proclaiming and solemnly ratifying the article, which is the first in the additions to and amendments of the constitution: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of re liginn, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof." We were given, in this way, a fundamental law, which made it pos sib e for the church to take on tbe tie velopment she has attained to and the proportions 6be has acquired here. To carry out that constitution, Providence raised up that remarkable man, who had safely led tho country through its strug gles for independence, ueorge washington, His fidelity to his trust and his noble words and example, gave a strength and force to the constitution and government, the solidity of which a century of existence, with its vicissitudes of foreign wars and gigantic civil strife, has proven. The result has been ,ncn (t n't 11 1 la rh rha athnll nn tilt la.

ty and law, and of sound principles ef social life which weld together the ele metits of our national existence and ren der it oermaneiit. When we add to this the fact that the providential wisdom ofj the founders of the government has giv cn us tbe most compact and nicely bai anced system of free institutions the world has ever seen, where the equality ol the individual before the law is like to that equality which the church teaches with reference to the individual before God, surely, dearly beloved brethren, we have the very greatest and weightiest reason for. returning thanks to the Most High, humbly petitioning that He may bless this land of ours, enable us to guard against every danger that may threaten its well being and tbe permanency of its constitution and government. For this reason we order that wherever praoti cable, a high mass of thanksgiving be of fered no on the autu of April, next, and the reverend pastor in charge address the people on the duties of a citizen to ward the government, uanunai raua vicini, Hist, council of Trent, says: The citizen is what bis education maicee him." This is most true, and the words of their nriests will foster in our people that love of country, that obedience io law. that reenect for persons iu author! ty, which are part of their religion, teaching them that all power is trotn God (Rom. xiii,6,) and that honor is to be paid to whom honor m due. (ID. v, 7) . For he rest, while loving with unnstian eharitv our common country, do not lose sight of the fact that it is after all only our residence for a time, and that our real countrv is heaven, in me words of the apostle : "Vos estis elves Sanctorum et domestic! Dei you are fellow-oitizens of the saints of the house hold of God." So live as to be worthy of your heritage. Then will you be not only good and true citizens of your earthly country, but you will prepare yourselves for your citizenship in me heavenly Jerusalem, where there is no sorrow for darkness, but tho joy of presence of our heavenly Father, the light of the glorified humanity of Jesus Christ, and the unspeakable consolation of tbe holy ghost, - 1 " . . . a tt . a 1 May this be your portion, is tne oieesnt 1 invoke upon yon, through the aid of her who is the help of Christians.

A Caatraat. EvanTllle Cerfr. In the Courier of yesterday the follow

ing telegram from Indianapolis ap peared : The case of Samuel Carpenter. In the Federal Court, for bribing electors, was dismissed by Judge Wood. Carpenter admitted that he had used money to se cure votes for his own election as State Senator, but the government failed to show that he bad used any to assist id the election of the Congressional candi date, for which he was on trial, and the Judge instructed the Jury to find for tho defendant. This is the Carpenter who was refused his seat in the State Senate because bo was proved to have committed wholepale bribery in securing his election. Notwithstanding the overwhelming proofs of his guilt Carpenter was renominated by the Republicans of tho Senatorial Districts composed: of tho counties of Shelby and Decatur, but the shameless challenge thus given to decent public sentiment was reseated at tbe polls, and Carpenter was defeated by a large majority. The dismissal of this case against Carpenter is quite in character with Judge Woods' other in dicia! exploits of recent occurrence. It is a wonder that such a man as Woods is permitted to hold up bis head in a civilized community. lie is more infamous than Dudley or Carpenter, be cause tbey are simply of the common herd or outlaws who glory in their own shame, while Woods occupies an official statiou where purity of character aud freedom from prejudice are sunposed to be natural and eesential attributes. Moroeover, he is a member of the church, and by this connection declares himself to be inspired by morality of every kind as it was taught by tho bavior, whom he professes to follows: When Coy and Bernbamer were on. trial before this same Judge Woods, why was this same technicality not invoked In their behalf? Tbey wore) charged with tbe crime of tally sheet forgery, as Carpenter was charged with bribery. Tbe penalty prescribed by tbe

..-- e - - - . I - t . . . a . elections at which members of Coewrooa were chosen. Up to this point, tbe oasoo against Coy and Bern ham er, and the ono against carpenter, were parallel, ezoept as to tbe exact nature of the crime alleg ed to nave been committed tbe com against Coy and Bernhamer, as wo have stated, having been for forging tallysheets, while that against Carpenter was for bribery. But in neither eeee woe it specified that tbe crime was eommltteel in behalf of a candidate for Congress. Ia the case against Coy and Bernhamer, tbo forgery was alleged to have been nerpetrated to elect two county officials ia Marion county, while in tbe case of bribery against Carpenter, he was c barfed with having perpetrated the crime to elect himself. But In the very nature of the case, the crime of tally sheet forgery as charged against Coy and Bernbamer. could have bad no direct effect upon tho election of a Congressman while in tbo case of Carpenter, although the bribery was primarily to elect himself, tbe erimo actually did effect tbe votes in electing the Congressman. So, If this technical point was raised at all, it Is plain to Um most ordinary intelligence that it should ' have borne in the same direction in tbo case of Carpenter that it did in the caeei. against Coy and Bernbamer. Yet Judge woods has too Insolence to ase tbie technicality to convict Democrats and to save Republicans from the clutch of the outraged Law. No more striking Instance of the de liberate prostitution of a Court to parti san purposes was ever recorded than, that which is found in the contrast between tbe action of this graceless in cumbent of the Bench in the. cases against Coy and Bernbamer and tbe one against Carpenter. Tbe pHpreme coart on Saturday de cided that tbe act creating a supreme) court commission Is unconstitutional. The decision was written by Judge Kliott, and as it was concurred in by the. full bench, will be accepted by tho pub ic as a correct interpretation or the law. The court refuses to consider the com missioners sought to be created by tbeaet n question :n any other light than ao judges, and therefore holds that tbey could neither be chosen oy tne legisiatart nor appointed by the supremeeoart itself. Col. Schreeder. who was Imported rom Evansvllle some years ago to play Republican postmaster at Huntiagbarg. Dubois county, has been appointed by the President to succeed tbe Democratic , postmaster at that plaee.
