Mr. ‘Washburn'a statemant of tho circumstancos has ‘boor: herotofore publishod in Tue TripoNe. Io never demanded the £200, Laving simply sug- osted that Wheoler give the ofiicers that sum fi. recognition of ‘tnelr sorvices in en- dangering _ tholr lives to _arrost tho burglars—Allen and_Rogglo. He produced tho affidavic of Fred Dickingon, which et forth that ho bad cauused a writ of attach- mont and & fummh“ to bo issucd to rocover money that Allon owed him, and that Washburn hiad no knowledge of the writs until thoy wero sorved.

The speaker had known him for many years, hnd mot B in many bad cuaos und kisd (1o advantago of hia counsol and ekill, _¥Id could boar witness to this skillfulness. Dr. Johnson was not a coward, nnd tha lonst of all maliclous, It was cowardly to attack a man bohind tho pross whon Lo could not roturn it, It Mr. Btorey had snid that Dr. Johnson had too much forbearanco howould Liave beon correct.

To the Rditor of The Chicagn Tribune : By In this momiug'y fesue of Tir TnrnuNgE I find o’ translation of a Into oditorinl of Lho Staats-Zeilung with roforenco to tho votoof tho Common Qouncil by which my nomination for tho Boara of Education was rojected solely upon tho ground of my views on Josuilism, A frank oritlolsm of the position of Mr. Tosing's organ miny possibly intorest your roaders, and you, I trust, will not hositato to givomo tho full benefit of the old maxim: “Audiatur ef altera pars.” The standpoint of tho Staats-Zeitung is somo- what obscured by tho shifting and subtle doma-~ gogism which scoms to bo tho principal chur- netoristio of this papor. In ono and tho sama oditordal it is admitted, a8 woll ns donlad, that cortain lottors writton against tho thoorics and practices of tho so-called Hoclaty of Josus wore tho causo of my dofont. Tho tono and spiril of tho artielo in quostion 18 ono of approval of the action of the Common Council, and of the motives which caused tho voto of rojection ; aud yot this paper, with the samo broath that gives utterance to its roligious Intoloranco, clnims to roprosont the American- Tepnblican principle of a complote soparation of Church and Stato, The Staats-Zeitung sneers at, snd attempts to ridiculo, tho position of the English pross, which cautioned its renders againyt the throstening en- croachment of Roman influence npon our public solicola; while, with a vigor nud su onorgy worthy ot the most loyal subject of tho Holy Beb, it justifles the very act by which this en~ croachment was placed boyond o doubt, Although the attack wos made by the Ultra- mortanos; though it is an indisputablo fnot that the Catholic influcnce inauguratod tho con- fliot,—tho lendiug Germmn papor, with a tro- mendous show of counterfolt indignation, which involuntarily reflocts tho character of its causo, clafms that the Oatholio roligion hing ruthlessly, and without any provoeation whatover, boon draggod upon tho fleld of politics. But the main sting of tho editorial lurks in tho closing sontence, It fu o threat which de- serves both consldoration and publication, Wo are told that, ‘8o far, this has only been a storm in o toa-pot, or rathor in a hog-pon; but this storm would becomo dangerous if it should ovor oxtond bayond its presont filthy limits.” Or, in other words, “Do not daro to again discuss avy political nct .whick the leading Oatholics of this city may dcom nocos- sary, If you aro not propared for tho most direful consequences.” Rénlly, if our im- agioation was ns confused and oxcited, our con-~ scionco ns uneasy, or our purposo 88 quostion- ablo, aathat of tho Slaals-Zeitung, we should 800 riots and bloodshed, guns and pistols, knives oud bludgeons, and sundry other doadly woap- ong, whirling through tho sir to rotard the progross of every good citizon who dares to do- fond tho froo institutions of tho couniry against tho inronds of Josuitism. Theso points wonld bave boen quitesufiiclont to stamp the Slaats-Zeitung as nn apt scholur of tho Ultramontanes ; and, in ordor to conviuco anime partial publio of this fact, it was quite supor- fluous to oxlubit tho Jesuitical talont for sophis- try and a porvortod logle by insiating, in tho orti- clo in quostion, that this whole discussion againat tho inroads of tho Church of Rome was inaugurated in order to divide tho anti-Bunday- party, and to insuro tho victory at the polls to tho so-called party of Law and Ordor. Thoee gentlomon of the long and of the short robe are experts in transferring the war upon tuo onemy's soil. They have always practicod tho woll-known political principle ;: Nover to de- fond themselves, but always to attack. Tho proprictor of tho Saats-Zeitung haa had oxcellont counsol, and, if not an_originator of tho plan of the campalgn, ho is certainly a very pliable snd a vory willing tool. Tho righteous indignation at tho manuer in which the advocates of Tompor- auco and Bunday Iaws conduck tha war ngaiust tho social recrontions of tho German-Amoricans is held up ns n mask to hide the minos and rifle- pits of an aggrossivo roligious sect. Wo aro nsked to slut our cyos to all tho am- bitions schomos of Josuitiem, bocnuso, forsooth, wo must form an alliance with the Catholio voters to put down prohibition logislition, Will theso adhoerents of Papal infal- linlity vote with us againat the fanaticlam of total abstinonco and Punitan Bundny laws, only upon tho condition that wo will pay no attention to theirefforls to gain & prominent political foot- liold and a controlling influence over our common schoola? » Can wo count upon Catholic support to batter down the Puritan forts and strongholds, only in the ovent that wo agree tosmrender to ourallics tho management of our publio affairs, snd par- ticularly tho manngoment of our public schools? Upon what prineiplo can theso conditions bo imposed? What connection is thore betwoon the rights wo ask for and tho domands of Cathol- iciam?

No othor rehigioussect in the coun- try ever prosumed to ask for such s swooping and dangorous privilege. Inour own Biate, fu 1861, a similar law was passed, cronting tho Bishop nnd bis sucoossors a corporation, and thoe logal holdera of the titlo of-.all real os- tato of the OChuroh, though this real estato waa purchasod and fmproved by the contribue tlons of tho pooplo, Thus the Catholis clorgy Ia placod in control of an immonse domain ; aud overy thinking mon may oasily caloulate tha dangor, whon he considors the fact that, of all roligious acct, this woalthy prissthiood alone ou- tors into the strife of partics as' & united and well-organized body. Ifns Mr. Hesing over road ‘‘Tho Advice to Emigrants to the United .Btates,” by Goorgo Grouhold, Catholio missionary at Bromon (pub- lished by Adolph Russel, Munster, 1872)? If not, ho may yot peruso this little psmphlot with somo profit. 1lr. Gronheid warns all emigrants to bowaro of any and all influences and associntions but thoso . -munctioned by the Catholio Church, on thoir arrival in the Unitod States. Ioparticularly solects tho Turnerbund as an orgenization to be shunned by all truo COatholica; condomns marringos with Americans; aud adviges his Oatholic ronders not to hiire out for sorvice to any but Catholio fami- lics. Finally, he imploros them not to Ameri- canize thomselves or thoir childron,—tho Gor- 1man languago boing quite suflicient for all pur- posos of life. The public schools of this coun- try he pronouncos as unflt aud dangerous for all Catholics, and deplores tho fact that many Cath- olio parents still persist, spite _of froquent warn- ing, to soud their childron to thoso hot-bods of irreligion. MIr.

It tho Staats-Zeitung will view this practical illustration of Jesnitical principlos by the City Fathers in conncation with tho savorsl planks of tho Ultrsmontano platform citod above, it may poseibly come to tho conclusion that tho soparation of Ohurch and State in our Ropublic is not quite a8 complota and porfect as tha spirit of our inatitutions domands, and Mr. Hosing may possibly, unless he fears the dis- plensuro of olorical suporiors, aasiat all liborty- loving and progrossive citizona in rotarding tho onward march of & politionl priosteraft, He can oasily do g0 by controlling his coming Conven- tion in tho intorast of progress and soolal snd roligious tolorance alone.
