So far ns Prussin is concerned, il is 4 political struggle for sov- creignty; not & struggle whether Prussin shall have thid or that form of religion, but whether its civil laws shall be obeyed, and whetlher her citizens shall render their politi- cal allegiance to the Governiment of the State or to the Government of the Pope within the State, Thero is unother fopture in this stg- gle—tho religious, This is not o contest be- tween Protestants and Catholics, but between Oatholics and Catholics, Old Catholicism and liberal Catholics on the one hand, Ultramon- tanism and Jesuits on the other. Upon the is- sues at stoke, something may ba said heraaf- ter, Undor the law pormitting the trausportation of goods to fuland cities in bond, a Custom- Houso Inspector travelod with siuoh goods to the point of destiuntion, Bubeoqueutly a *‘soal- lock” on the freight-cars waas substituted for the Inspeotor. This **senl-lock™ was nothing more than an ingenious contrivance by which s pieco of glass, marked with a cortam stamp, was slid over the Ley-hule of a padlock when locked, so that it could not be opened without breaking the glass. This was ingenious, but might bave os- eapod general obsorvation but for o trifling cir~ cumstance. Boon after Seceretary Bristow en- tered upon lus dutios a bill of §38,000 for thoso glass slides wae promented to tho Department, The new Secrotary lookod at the slides and then at the bill. He handed tho former to an export to obtain his opinion of their value. The expert figured it at $2,100. Mr, Bristow, wondering upon what principle the Govornment should pay fifteen times ns much as it was worth for any article, turned to the recoras of the Do- partment, when lo! sll the correspoandence con- neoted with tho case, all the original proposals, every paper, indeed, oxcopt one, which could throw any light upon the matter had becn stolon, Tho exception was a lotter from Assistant Becro~ tary Sawyer to the American Seal Lock Company for 6,600 locks. It would scem that not a filo or » lotter-book in poesossion of the Government was secure from mautilation without s seal-lock of some kind. ——— Jefferaon Clty, Mo., & fow doys ago wasficoded with lunatics, Having erccted a nico warm new Junutic asylum, it beeame necossary to fill it, and the sutboritios decided to do so without delay. They did not flic out and bring lunatics in, es policemen do prisouers sometimes, just to 1l up thoir quota. Thoy made a draft upons twin boarding-house for the iusanc, at Fulton, and their requisition for thircy fnmates was honored, The unfortunates were placed in chargo of a Shorifl and one or two doputios, and proceeded by train to 8t. Joseph. They wero Tormed futo lino at tho depot, and the word given to move, which indeed they did, to the constor- nation of the Sheriff. They ran in different di- rections, aud succosded, to a lunatio, in mukiog good thelr escape, leaving a question in the minds of the St. Joseph populaco whether they or the Sherifl’s company showed the most nggra~ vated form of insanity. There was & mothod in the madaees of the runaways which the other party lacked. There should have been at least throo inmates of the asylum that night., PSR e R The Temporanco Crusaders, who had'it all thew own way last epring intorfering with personal rights, now find some of the chickena coming homo to roost. Dunvg tho cold-water furore, one kawsart, of Now Albany, Ind., wan arrested for using languago to the Crusaders calculated to promoto a broach of tho peace. The offense was proven, and he was fined in the oxtreme sum provided by tho ordinance, He appealed lis case to the Civil Cirenit Court, which, a few days ago, decided that thie language was proven, but as the provocation was very great, the fino was fixed at the lowest possible sum, Upon {his point the Court sald: Thice Crusaders were engaged {n an_unlawful act, “They were creating & nuisance, and Woro unln iatertering with tho defosdant’s lawful trade, It wao {ao duty of {ho police oficers of tho city to put s stop 12 such unlawfnl conduct, It apposrs tuat police cfficers were present, and that tha dofondant appeated £ them to protect him, but they declined to do i, V/hieu & man 15 ongaged £ & lawful business, to tako a czowd to ia place of business snd sitock bim snd Lis Vutluces by ltnguage and _conduct adapted to bring 1im aud bla business fnto public odium and conteinply i a grosa violation of his rights, aud puch en attack s Lot made legal by belng put intd the form ofa prayer. ———— - ‘The Senatorial fight in Wisconsin grows hotter ¢aily and devolops richners, Oarpentor’s paper, t4e Milwankoa Sentinel, claima thst ha saved tho 1Arly from the dostruotion which it experienced i1 other Htates, To this replies tho Racioe Ad- vacate, that however this might bo in other parts o! the Btate, * Tho foar of Matt’s re-cleotion lost e Republicans two Assomblymon In Racine Caunty," But the matter becomes more porson= alyet.
