rk ed - er’ rT 9 Gat’ candidate for the Presidency. It takes the Springfield Republican to task for pre- suming to be ‘‘independent”—(what a reflec- tion upon the title of Brother Bowen's mam- moth shect!)—‘‘independent” enough to op- pose the re-election of the Hero of Appomattox. Says the Independent :— We do not mean to intimate that the party (repub- lean) could not succee:t with any other name: yet we entirely agree Wlin democrats and nine-tentis of the pogepsican Voters throughout the country that Yiveses Grant 1s the man whom it will be most dimeult for the democracy to beat, and whom, Moreover, republicans can most easily and cer- tainly elect, * * * The effort to divert repub- licans from this purpose by attacking General Grant is at best simply a waste of powder. He has too many solid recommendations, and has managed Se ernreat coe Wisely and too well to be laid aside to gratify not more than half a dozen repub- lican poiiticians, who have taken {t mto their heads w bis renomination. ‘The best thing wey Can do is quietly to accept the tnevitable, and con- sole themselves with the reflection that the col- lected wisdom of the party is quite equal to their individual hight. We are not entirely without hope ‘that the Springtield Kepudiican will ere long come to this conclusion. . The New York Tablet (Catholic) is still dis- cussing with Henry Ward Beecher the “Rights of Conscience,” and pitching into the Heraxp for ventilating some of the alleged abuses in the management of the Calvary Cemetery. Its advice to the complainants who express thelr grievances through the Heratp is as follows: — If these “Catholics” who are raising such a hne and cry in the LeIKAL.D against tho Calvary trustecs, instead thereoi, would quietiy form a deputation and walt upon the gentlemen in question, or ‘on the ecclesiastical authorities, requesting their in- terference in the matter, we snouid tntnk it would be & wiser and more eficacious, as it would certainly be a more dignified aud amore “Catholic” course to parsue. It does mot do much harm occasionally to shake the cobwebs out of the pulpits of some divines, just as we now and then stir up old politcal hacks in their forums and at the hastings. ‘The Boston Pilot (Catholic) elaborates on the *‘Female Army of the Future,” in which the gallant editor, with unusual ungallantry, proclaims that We have enough cripples and idiots and un- women now in tne country, without getting @ regular reinforcement every November, and au cx- traordinary one at Presidential elections. The editor of the Pilot is evidently not counted in among the woman’s rights shriekérs, The Pilot claims that the Irish are a read- ing people, and are able to support their own papers without ‘Ring aid” from any quarter. Here is a declaration from the Pilot, credit- able to its independence and furnighing as- surances of its popularity among the great Irish-American reading population :— The Pilot is the most extensively read Irish- American paper in the country, and It never received one dollar or one ceut in @ way derogatory to tne Character of an Irish-American Catholic newspaper. The Golden Age—after the cfazy tilt on behalf of the wild and disgusting free lovers at Steinway Hall the other night—tonches on national politics, saying :— ‘There are two kinds of Grant men who will soon Aesert the President's failiag fortunes: one 18 the Schuylar Colfax type, who never do @ brave act in politics, and who make a high -toued expediency the supreme ruic of poiitical action; and the otwer the General satier type, who bear a long time with an abuse lke slavery, or au incompetent President, and who then awake, arise, and work lke giants, with the sad but heroic recollection that they have been losing precicus ime and must do somethiug to redeem themselves, If Schuyler Colfax and Ben Butler are the “types” of those who are to defeat General Grant, then we are inclined to think that the anti-administration form of opposition is es- sentially ‘‘sqaabbfed,” and all the ends that those who are engaged in the “make-up” aim at will not ‘Sustify” the means they take to attain them. The Jewish Messenger notices with com- tMendation the fact that among the first acts of the Grand Duke Alexis on his arrival in this city was to attend the Church of his fathers and offer up his thanks for his safe deliverance from the dangers of the sea. The Messenger adds:— The dangers of the sea. We do not know whether that beautiful idea is borrowed from Judaism, but centuries since it formed part of our ritual, as one Of the periods prescribed jor offering thanks was on arriving ou shore after a seavoyage. With re! nm Israei that thanksgiving 1s placed on the sheif o! oblivion. They cousider themselves wiser than the bys who acknowledged his humility before the of nis adoration. Perhaps his example may give a better tone to their feelings, aud cause them On sunilar occasions, and even at all times, to pour forth their hearts’ best emotions to Israel's God. The Scottish-American Journal, a sheet which, although not essentially a religious organ, frequontly gives some practical hints on religious themes, has this week an editorial on the subject of ‘Races and Religions,” in which, after. going over the earlier days of Christian triumphs and Christian persecutions in Europe, especially where they claim his- toric relationship with the progress of Chris- tianity in Germany, concludes as follows:— Protestantism, Romanism and Orientalism have ‘thetr respective causes in the depths of tne soul and in-the action o1 Divine Providence. Their spiritual enesis may be traced far beyond the time of their speculate about, th nit is uot jusproper to it jate about them, not improper to in- wire whether, in the variations of human nature or distory, ‘mere be anything which leads the uer- poe Latin and selavonic races to accept or = ee form of Christianity rather Beside the fact of the existence of a spirit of grace in several localities our distant teligious exchanges furnish nothing especially sew or important. A Sournern exchange expresses the belief éhat Carl Schurz will in 1872 play the réle of Calhoun in 1882. The result will probably be the ssme—showing that nullification is a nul- lity. Tnx San Juan Question To Br Axgsi- ‘TRaTED.—The present is a moment of inter- national conciliation. By cable telegram from Berlin we are informed that the territorial line Claims difficulty between England and the United States, known as the San Juan ques- tion, is to be arbitrated. His Majesty, the Emperor of Germany, has consented to act as the friend of both nations for its settlement, The United States memorandum on the subject will be presented to the Kaiser fn Berlin by Minister Bancroft on the 10th of December, the British government stating the case of Her Majesty Victoria s@bout the same moment, The San Juan ques- tion wore an aspect which was very throaten- ing to the maintenance of peaceful relations between the American government and Eng- Jand at one time, some years since. It en- gaged the earnest attention of the late General Bcott, besides being a source of much personal Anconvenience to the old soldier. It will be god to have it settled and the line defined, ‘particularly so for the satisfaction of the c gens of California and that of the residents in Vancouver's Land, is Nor Taz Baxeor Whig travelling a fittle out of ite course in giving advice about *the New York Collectorship?

Particulars of the Wycke: Stage Mas- sacre—Sarrounded by the Savages and the Passengers Despatched with Rifles and Lances—The Gratitude of These Fiends for Goverument Protection. SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 25, 1871. Despatches from Arizona state that a hunared government cattle were run off by Apache Indians in the Vaile de Chino, near Prescott. The troops and citizens who were pursuing the Apaches who murdered the Wyckenburg stage passengers trailed them directly to the vale ureek reservation. The fact that a large part of the Apaches residing there were absent at the time of the massacre was proven by the officer on the reservation, A despatch says that among the passengers was one registered as Alfred W. Loring, of Wheeler's expedition. Loring was the only passenger who was not wounded atthe first fire of the Indians, wno Were ambushed, completely surrounding the stage. The three passengers Outside aud the driver were killed at the Hirst volley. The Indians then rushed for the stage.

Loring fell and was dispatched by a lance. Parties knowing him here say there 1s no doubt of his identity. The people of Prescott raised volunteers, witn the determination of killing every Apache in the reservation, but finally con- sented to leave the matter with General Crook.

Hillyer championed the claim of sames E. Lyon, of Colorado, against Warren Hussey and Walker Brothers, Aposvate Mormons, the first Proprietors, These latter were backed up by Willlam Park, of Vermont, once unsuccess- ful candidate for tne United States Senate from California against John Conness, Stewart resides next door to General Schenck tn the city of Washingion, He 18 a dasning aaventurer and speculator, who has made and lost large fortunes in Nevada mines, receiving, tt is said, a§ much as $300,000 for stock received as fees in a single Opera- tion, Schenck, Park and Stewart are the only Americans, except Baster, named in the list of nine directors, while Hussey 18 put down as manager. Tne Lyon and Park interests, coalesced by @ compromise, both being afraid of Judge McKeon’s Cuurt in Utah and tts loose way of drawing juries. A patent being obtained after the compromise, tuls vast system of advertising was designed and carried into effect by Stewart's advisers, and Schenck was drawn tanto the transaction. Schenck is a poor man comparatively, It 18 alleged that his residence in this city Was presented to him while chairman of the Ways and Means Committec, by Mr. John A, Griswold, of ‘Troy, N. YY. and others, He is aman of originality, great will and decisiveness of character, but had become indolent, immetnodical and shiftiess before bis departure for Europe. The Ways and Means Committee affords such a plenteous hospitality ana good cheer from convivial lobbyists and tariff pullers that it nad worn out Schenck and blanted his original fine sense of nicety. Immense sums of money have been made within the past year vy selling mines in Utah to Englishmen, and tais reckless experiment with the Emma mine will probably give the call to halt in such dealing in foreign markets for the future, Mr. Schenck’s friends are in much distress over these disclosures, Presidential Appointments.

These men were indicted by the Grand Jury of the Dis- trict of Columbia, with Colonei William B.
