wealth of the North and South; that
the general policy of the republic
since the first educational ordinance
has been compulsory education;
that a general elementary educa
tion of all the people is essential to
the prosperity and peace of the
country, and that the granting of
lands for school pU'posee, the ap
propriation of money for the killing
of diseased cattle, the enactment of
educational temperance laws and
other welfare measures, furnish
ample precedents to Congress for
the granting of national aid to
common schools.
DEATH OF EX-PRESIDENT
ARTHUR.
Chester A. Arthur, Ex-President
of the United States, died at hi
home in New York, on Thursday
morning the 18th instant at five
o’clock ofkidnev disease with which

General Arthur was born in Ver
mont, October 5 183(1 and was <on
Seqnently 56 years ol age last
month. His father was a baptist
clergyman having emigrated to this
country from Irel <nd.
General Arthur commenced his
career a a school teacher about the
year of 1850, and soon after entered
inti the profusion of the law in
New York where he gamed consid
able reputation by his connection
with the defense oi fugitive slaves
•igainst the claims of slave holders.
He held several important nffi 'es
in the State of New York, and Was
appointed Collector of Customs by
President Gn<nt in 1871 and w;i
removed by President Hayes in
1878 because ol political reasons as
Was very generally understood at
the time.
Gen. Arthur was a delegate to
(he Chicago Oonven'ion in 1880 and
was one of the ‘‘3o6 ’ which held
out so gallantly but vainly in ballot
ing lor the renomination of General
G ant to the Presidency for the
'hud term. He was nominated for
Vice President at this tonventiou
and was elected, lie bee me Pres
ident on ihe death of General Gap
field i i September 1881, and served

A BISHOP’S ELOQUENCE.
Bishop Becker preached a ser
mon last Sunday, at Wilinmgton, on
tne “Apostolic Su cession,” the
occ isiou t eing the consecration of
Bishop Curtis. Ins successor at that
place. The sermon was an able one
and has been very generally men
tioned by the press. Following is
an. extract from the sermon :
“The only church which has
genealogical pedigree direct, clear
and concise is the Church o! Rome.
Here, through her some two hun
dred and twenty four Pon iff-, from
Leo XIII. to St. Peter, if any coi - ’
fidence can be placed in the vener-|
ibie record- of history, take ; fairly
and without prejudice, we have a
more perfect sn cession than even
in this highly favored republic can
be shown among the acki owledghd
chief magistrates.”
“Tins, then, is the Catholic,” Le
continued, ‘which at all times was
known by the civil governments, all
of which she has outlived, for she
has an immortal life. Her works
are visible all over the world. She
live with very inadequate means
conquered to the service of her
Master the whole of Christendom
she teaches with authority affirma
tive truths. bhe proves her abso-
lute unity by the principle of
authority, and has not only the
devout allegiance of her members,
who have been invariably the large
number of these calling thennelves
Christians, but proves her supreme
jurisdiction by teaching and, defin
ing the exact truth in all matters of
doctrines and morals. She shows
that her genealogy is not afraid of
investigation. She has never had
much help from empires, kit.gs or
republics; has never been known to
sequester their possessions, but has
herself been often despoiled by the
civil power. Her cathedrals are
a prayer in stone; her libraries the
collection of all that is wise and de
sirable in literature; Imr monaster
ies and convents the abode ot
charity, benevolence and purity,
her schools and universities have
always been types of wisdom, w hile
her hospitals, her asylums, her
clergy and sisterhoods challenge
the respect and have gained the
veneration of the world. They are
standing on the unanswerable argu
ments of the fulfillment of Christ’s
command to his apostles: ‘Go ye
into the whole world, leach and
baptize, teaching them to observe
all things whatsoever 1 have com
manded you.’”

n| the solid progress which we an
making politically. It is certainl'
a hopeful sign to see that as a race
we have commenced to think to
