illl(

The proportion of Christians to the whole population of the globe is as two to seven. There are ?f)-l,'270,000 Christians, of which !r,*:w.00) are Protestants 75,000,000 belong to the Greok church 1K2,42'2,000 are Catholics, and the remainder belong to tho Armenian, and other small churches. So, it will bo seen, thore are other people in tho world besides Protestant people, and other interests than Protestant interests. As two-sevenths of the population of the globe only are Christians, why is it not best for followers of Christ to attempt to hannonize.and cease to impose upon each other, so that their conduct will redound to the glory of the Messiah

We are told that tlio consciences of our Protestant citizens demand that their liihle slmll be read in the schools. Hut do the consciences of Catholics, and Jews and Unbelievers, who are taxed to support the schools, count as nothing in a Irce government?

The very essence of Christianity is this: "Whatever ye wonld that men shall do to you, do you even so unto thrill." ur Protestant friends, bccfcuso they are in tho majority in this community, insist that the King James translation of the Hible shall be read in the schools. If the Catholics were in the minority would the Protestants consent cheerftilly to the reading pf the Douay Bible in tho schools

The actual triumphs of Christianity have been bloodless and the result of toleration. It is essentially the doctrine of I-JOVC, not Force. Will not our Protestant friends remove the load which oppresses'and galls their Catholic, Jewish and unbelieving neighbors?

UM*IL reoentlT the prejudice against literary women was so great that three of tho most gifted women of this century, Charlotte Bronte, Mme. Dudevant and Mrs. Lewes, knowing that their sex was a barrier to success, sent their works forth under assumed masculine names. To-day, woman's capacity in the field of literature ia undisputed, and it is admitted that some of the sweetest women in tho world have producod great thought*, warmed with the enthusiasm of great championship, and assumed leadership, even, among men. The world moves, and the day is not far distant when no man will be so narrow or intolerant as to hamper woman by social or political restrictions from achieving a higher and grander life.

brthographv. The fact that it is not slanderous to say a man is unqualified to go to Congress, we have alluded to already. Those who read this letter will hardly believe that he is the man for Congress. He alludes to the MAIL as a partisan sheet and its editor as a Republican leader. Tho MAIL is not a party paper, and its editor is not considered, and does not aspire to be, a Republican leader. We do not understand Mr. Egglest-on's drift when he says that he had supposed that we had learned by sad experience that it was not best to slander our neighbors. It may be that he alludes to the fact that a very vile scoundrel and assassin, Erwin S. Ernv bv name, once attempted to murder the editor of this paper because he published the truth concerning the said Ernv. We trust that Mr. Eggleston did not design to make an allusion so unworthy of him.

We disclaim an}- intention of injuring Mr. Eggleston, or even of hurting his feelings, in the item in last week's paper. As he and his friends, however, seem disposed to crack tho whip of intolerance over us wo hate chosen to give substantial reasons for our belief thnt ho is not a competent person to represent the 6th District in Congress.

WK trust that tho attempt to secure suffrage for women in the courts of the District of Columbia, by proving her right to vote under the 14th Amendment to the Constitution, will he hastened on to its certain failure, as the position taken is not correct, and is only calculated to arouse hopes which will not be gratified, and depress effort in the direction from which enfranchisement will actually be gained. The plain fact is that children are entitled to rote under the 14th Amendment if women are. It was simply a declaration of equal civil rights, and did not confer the right to vote. We wish that it had conferred the right of suffrage upon women, but as it has not, it would seem to be foolishness to waste breath and valnable time upon it.

PKOPLK think the Darwin theory most repugnant Itecause it teaches that our remote anoestor* were animals with no higher intellectual development than brute instinct*. If, from such origin, however, wo have arrived at the present state of development, what may we not hope for our race in tho progress of the ages yet to come? Upon tho whole, it is not an unpleasant theory to believe that all animal life grows constantly purer and better, and that humanity may yet attain on earth a perfection little inferior to thatexist~ ing among the stars.

This is the n,ain

in Now OrleansTTT tney chose.

DUIIINO tho late session of Congress Senator Trumbull offered an amendment to the Deficiency Bill, which was quietly adopted, regarding appointments. This amendment provides that the President may appoint aboard of examination, before whom all candidates for civil office must pass, and that no person, however recommended shall be appointed to any office until liohas received a certificate of qualification from the board. Senator Trumbull, Senator Scliurz, Senator Stunner, and many other Senators and members of Congress, it is said, will personally interest themselvos in tho application of this system, and it is now asserted in Washington that the President declares his intention to give it a fair trial.

IT is gratifying to the people of this State to know .h it Indiana has one statesman great enough to stand at the head of the American Senate, and to mould and shape fhe policy of the nation. We allude, of course, to Senator Morton. He has been engaged during tho week in examining the Joint High Commission's Treat}', and there is little doubt that his recommendation will be substantially adopted by our government. I-

IT is said that Ex-Governor Curtin is coming home to assist Governor »eary in the Pennsylvania campaign. Cameron will try to lift the Curtin, but will probably fail.

A DARK TRANSACTION.—Too many persons display moral carelessness in passing doubtful bills. If they are taxen in by a worthless bank note, they ?et rid of it at the first opportunity, etting it slip to some one ewe. An incident in point is said to have occurred lately at Buffalo. An enterprising merchant of that place runs both a grocery and a fish market, the latter bv a deputy who every night makes returns of. the day's proceeds to the proprietor.

A day or two since the grocer found in his fish market returns counterfeit five dollar bill. He didn't like to lose it and he did not like to take the chances ol trying to pass It. "8AM," said he to a fifteenth amendment citizen hanging about the premises, "here is a five dollar bill that is a little doubtful if you will pass it I'll give vou a dollar out of the change." Berry well," said Sam, and he took the bill and went off. Later In the day he returned, having accomplished the feat, and handed over four dollars in good money to the grocer. That night on looking over the cash returns of the fish market the grocer was more surprised than delighted to find the identical bill in the pile. Look here," said he to the market clerk. Here's a bad bill who did you get it of didn't vou know it was counterfeit?" "That bill!" said the clerk, I took of old Sam. the nigger. I thought it looked suspicious at

right."

^uestion-

Bible shall be read in the schools, thus giving to the Romish Priests excellent reasons for insisting that the children of Catholics shall not attend the public schools Everything calculated to offend the consciences of Catholics, or .Tews, should be expurged from the schools: if, after such expurgation, they choose to support schools of their own, they have a perfect right to do so, and offend no one by such a line of conduct.

No ORDINARY significance should attach to tho, proposed transfter of tho railroads and canals of New Jersey, valued at forty millions, to tho Pennsylvania Central Railroad. We have repeated^ alluded to the colossal growth and towering influence of this corporation. It controls completely the legislature of the State of Pennsylvania. There can be no doubt that it will bo able to manage legislation in New Jersey, and that it is looming up as the greatest political power in the land. Corrupt politicians will bow the knee before it, and a venial press will do it homage. The great political battle of the future will find concentrated capital, representing the national banks and such vast corporations as tho Pennsylvania Central, on ono side and the toilers of the nation, represented by the various Trades Unions and other organizations of the laboring interest, arrayed on the other. These forces are Titanic, and the contest will hardly bo less earnest, or less significant, than that just ended between Freedom and Slaverv,

YESTERDAY was a field day in Louisville. The negroes attempted to ride in the street oars, deeming that tliey had authority to do so mule/ the Civil Rights Bill. Tho Caucasians rallied and fought nobly. Much negro blood was spilt. One son of ll..m was politely ejected through a car window. In another case the newsboys rallied and were gleofully boating an offending Af rican, when a cruel policeman stopped their fun. Truthful James, of Kentucky, wants to know if our civilization is A failure.
