THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 1875. McDONALD'S RUSE. Tho Tricky Gambler Fails to Make It Work. A Justice of the Peace Connives at the Job. Jndge Willams Highly Indignant at the Discovery. Tho Grand Jury Will Now Investigate the Matter. After the disposition of a few unimportant cauon of Inrcony, the case of Mike McDonald was called in the Criminal Court yesterday morn- ing. Br. Trudo, as tho namo of bis redoubtable and copstact client was announced, camo for- ward and informed the Court that McDonald lind been fined for ihe offenne on which ha was pow brought to trial by Justice Daggett on Jan. 30, and honco he would apply for the diamixsal of the present case. Judge Williams expressed in his countenance A MOM DLOREX OF INDIGNATION that the most notorious gambler which tho Criminal Court had so long sought to punisl bad taken advantage of this very common gama, aod was about to indulgo his feolings in a fow romarks thercon when Mr. Reed stated that ho had scen Justice Daggett, and had been informed py him that the transcript of the case now pre- sented by Mr. Trude wan correct. The Justico had also informed him that ho had fined the do- fendant am this instance, but would hencefor- ward bold all similar cases to tha Criminal Court, ‘Str. Tendo stated that Daggett had also told him he should hereafter purstie this course. Judgo Williams was inclined to HOUNT THE GENUINENESS of the transcript, and suid bo thonght it was very singular that it find not heen prosonted whon tha cauo war called the day before. Hoe thought a continuance bad been thna obtained to give tho defendant a chanco to practice this dodge. and, an ho did not believe tho tranecript was true, ho should send for Justice Daggett to come into court with his docket. ‘A bailiff? was accordingly dispatched for tho Tostice, and. pending bis arrival, the Conrt pro- ecocded to the transaction of other businews. Trude and his chent, monuwhile, engaged in a consultation, and did not appear altoxother to Jike this turn in the affair, which they had con- fidently expected would reault in the Intter's re- loava, a8 the same proceeding had been dons in the casos of hordes of gamblers heroteforo. JUSTICE DAGGETT, after the lapre of over an hour, came puffing into the courl-soom, bearing a ponderous book of the regorde of his well-known juetico-mill un- der jis arm. [is arrival was annouuced to the Court by the State's Attorney, who said that tho cane would now be proceeded with, Judge Will- inns said ho was ready to examino into tho mat- ter of the transcript. and the book was accord- ingly pacsed up tobim. After ho had turned overa few of the leaves in a vain search of tho record, Justice Daggett said that no record of the transcript had been made, : wry NoT? “Why shouldn't there bare beon?” angrily asked the Court, “Tt taken time, Your Honor, to keap my bools written up,” rephod Duggett, with evident ner- yourness, Judge Williams here took the transcript and examined it: very clonal Ne at Jensth broko forth with tho remark: “ This eadeedit has been changed, You can see that tho word * Feb- ruary’ originally written has been partially of- faced and the word ‘January ' written over it.” ‘The paper was Lauded to tho Stace’s Attorney and soveral otbors in tho court-room, All of them could plainly seo that AN ALTERATION in the document had becn mado. “There is tho complaint awotn to in the caso,” eaid Daggott, who seemed flushed and vory ill at ease, “But.” oried the Judge, glancing at it, “it beara dato I'eb. 3.” ‘The discomtitted Justice of tho Peace was very Jame in making 1 satisfactory explanation, and eaid something about the books showing bis criminal recone! nut having been written up for xome timo, and the ove in tho Judge's hands boing lis civil dockot. “What do you suppose, alr, I want of your civil docket? ‘This isa Criminal Court; we do not attond to civil businera hore, ‘This matter neods investigating, and Fehail bring it before the Grand Jury. {t 18 something very acton- ishing that you should nesumo jurisdiction in the casos boforo this Court.” “Other Justices do as I haya don Daggett. “T don't beliova it,” arserted the Court. “Thope you will allow me to axplum away ite imputation,” remarked the Justice of the aac. “Tdon’t neo,” snid the Conrt, “that yon aro Propared to make any explanation. I shall INSIST UPON A FULL INVESTIGATION of the whol matter.” Mr, Trude here intorpoeed, and asked leave to address the Court, hich wos acoorded, Ha ata:ed that ho would bo prepared to show that the matter of tho transcript was all straight and goguiar, aud the inabihty of Mr. Dagiott co show the came at that timo wos hevause his criminal records bad not been written up. Jo bad intended to introduce the tranecri:t the day before. after the oxainination of ths nrocceuting wityess, whoro character he wanted to exposo, Judge Williama again stated that the matter would Lo fully investigatod. ‘The exso of McDonald was therefore postponed until to-morrow. ‘Thore was inuch indignation at what was con- vidercd returned A DISHONEAT RUSE toeffect BfeDonali’s acquittal, ard unlons Mr, Daggett can show that the traneastion was tralehtforward, as alleged, hin casy will bo pro- seuted to the Grand Jury for indictment for mal- feasance in ofiico, = oe CATHOLICS AND THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS. To the Editor of The Chicano Tribune: Curcago, Feb, 15,—I do not wish, nor have I the timo, to go into acontrovorsy on the above or any othor subject in your paper, and only auked for your authority for your accusation agaiust the Catholics of the country, of struggling to closethe public achools, Your constitutional argument is bo anaicer to ny domaud for authority for your itatemonte, aud groundloss assertions of the ef- forts of Catholica to pull down tho patlic My hols, You again chargo that Catholica look to the Blate for support to Catholic schools, when you know that they only demand from tho Btate what it takes from them, You state that, if Catholics were to receive their own share of the public schoul-monoy, it would be treating thom ae if they wera a dis- linet people and separate nationality, and must boso treated by the American psoplo, Boftly, toftly, Mr. Editor, The people of the Empire of Auatria are composed of Catholics, Protest- tnts, and Jews, just as they are in thie country, tnd yet the minorities of Jows and Proteatsnis bave the management of thelr own schools, ua- der the care of their own School Bosrdu, taught by their own teachers; have thelr own toxt- books.

Nov, if the editor of Tir.

Liberty of conacionco pravails, avd there in neither injustice nor oppression of any, backed by unholy lawa or constitutional requiromouts, Again, Catholic Bolgium secures liborty ef con- seicnee to the Protestant miuority as well as to tho Catholic mojority. But tocome ucarer homa: When the public Achool system: wes first established in Lower Canada, some sizltecn years nyo, tho Protestant minority petitioned the Legislature to allow them to bavo tho management of their own schools, and their own sharo of tho public money for their support. ‘Chis was no svoner asted than it was grautoil, There was alsoa law passed, that if thoy ro- quired moro than their share of the public money come to, for tho suppors of their Kchools, thoy could lovy o rpecial tax; but no part of thi tax could be taken out of Catholic pockets, but should come out of tho purses of those for whose bonofit it was intnnded, Ho it was also with Catholics ; thoy could Jovy ndditional taxes, but nove of the mouey could be takon from Protostant purses. ‘This is tho way that theso Catholio countrics ostablish and accuro their rights, the most pro- cious of which mo the rights of conscience to the Protostant miuoritics. One ssould, and ought to, imagine thas it would not to bo loft to the Catholic of tho Uuited States of America to ask for the rights of con- selence, for they ought to bo estublished aud secured to thom without tho asking, according to the lotter and epirit of tho Constitution, But, far from being ev, they ara oppressed for conscience’ sako, and calumniated and misroprosonted for vouluriug to complain, Thoy are persecuted and plunderad to snpport schools to which they ste conscientiously op- nowod, a8 the Irish Catholics wore to maintain a Protestant Chureh; and, with similar argu- ments, or rathor sophintries, their opprossora Aoclare it is for tho public good, avd thut tha Tawa and Constitution authorize and justify the oppression, Catholics cannot conscientiously support the public schools, We inow that, erica Vis Leung; but the Inwe and Conatitn- tion must be — oboyed. But, if tho Jaws and Constitution trample on tho rights of conscience, what will be tho reunlts? Why, wo will suis into bathorism, Hear Isaac ‘Taylor, oue of the ableat English writers, and a Protestant at that. In his “Bssaz on Ult.mate Civilization,” he rays: The rights of mon aro universal and nnexceptivo, or. if not vo, then they a:e none at all, ‘Tho saino ty trno, and st 16 true with an emphasis, in relation to those rights which are at onco the siroxt gnarantee of avory other, end the most precious of sil others, pano- dy, the rights of consvienee.” Aga ho says: “phe rights of conscience not underatond, or if they be misunderstood by a Government, chen tha civillzation of such a people is a glittering barbarism ; itis notuing better,” le farther on addy how ‘all men of ordinary intelli- gence and unsectarian feeling are atir- prised at tho obwtsvciion thiown in the way of poplar education, causing grow irritation, amazoment, and humination aldo. How is it that many ostimalle men, bonevolont, hut narrow mucderstauding and rigia in tomper, would rather sco miilions die in starvation than help to distribute foaves not baked in their own yen. and not crosied with thelr own marie 7” “Now, Catholics demand tho samo piivileges, Therty, and rights of conscience, in Cuieago, which the Protestant minorities poysoes in Aus- tria, France, and Belgium; and all honest and lightened men will aeknowledys that they ‘ould be unworthy of freedom if they did not do wo.

By @ regulation of the Collector's office it was required that the carrier or assignee should givo written notice of tho arrival of boned goods.

Torecover for there 174 chests of toa suit was brought by appelier. and a judgment rocovored, from which the rail- roal company appealed.
