Washxmotoh, November 25.—Chief

Boston, November 25. — The Roman
Catholic Church has made a declaration
of a policy to be Adopted hereafter in
New England with reference to BchooW
in purauonce of the advioe given by the
Pope to the Archbishop. The Bishop
has just directed all pneats in the Arch-
dioc«3e,of New England to establish pa
rochial schools in their pariah, and to
send children to such schools upon pain
of church disapprobation. In some lo
calitiee where the influence of the public
schools Is hostile to the Roman Catho
lics they are required to withdraw their
children therefrom.
Washington, -November 25.—Tho
Commissioner of Internal Revenue has
banded in his report to the Secretary of
the Treasury lor the past year. The
tables embodied in them show that dur
ing the past threo years and fonr months
3,117 illicit distillers have [been seized;
6,363 persons arrested, and twenty-seven
officers and employes killed and forty-
eight wounded while enforcing internal
revenuo laws. The Commissioner says
that the Btato courts have taken cogni
zance of these murders and ossanlts only
in few coscb, and that they cannot be re
lied npon to punish such oScnsea. He
therefore recommends an enactment by
CougTessof law authorizing United Slates
Courts to try and punish persons oharged
with assaults. Tho report shows that 5,-
443 distilleries were registered during
the put fiscal year, and that 5,347 wero
operated.

Says.
New York Herald Interview.!
“On what did the Republicans base
their fears of foul play ?”
“I cannot conoeive. There were some
stories printed in several papers, which I
have not read, about frauds and an in
tention to subvert the popular will. Now,
bow could the counoll decide what coarse
to follow whoa they had not held a meet
ing ? How conld I, for instance, manip
ulato returns when, in faot. I have never
seen a smglo psgo of reoord ? I tell yon,
air, It is the merest bosh—a sensation
gotten np by unscrupulous politicians.’'
‘•Then, yon do not anticipate aoy
change in tbo already declared result ?”
“That I cannot tell. I will never con-
eider a man’s politios when I come to
>ub on the voto recorded for lnm. All
[ want is that tho voto be cast legally
and be legs.ly recorded. Toe returns
will be counted according to Lw, no mat
ter who ero to enffer, bs they Democrats,
Greenbackera or Republicans. Oar Re
publican friends, I think, have allowed
people to hold elections and send ia re
turns just as tboy pleased, and they are
now scared because there is a proopeet
that tbo respect for legal formi which
they allowed to almost die oat is to be
revived."
Fxltjn’s Peonuncuuesto. — Sivan-
Ntwsi Tho vaulting cunning of
Rsv. Mr. Felton, D. D., has this time
o’erleapt itself, however, and his true de
signs stand so plainly revealed that they
cannot deceive oven tho simplest mind.
He stands before the people of his dis
trict as ono whoso only prtnciplo is to
always be on the strongest aide, so as to
eeonre personal advantage, and we have
every reason to believe that many honest
men, hitherto gulled by bis specious cry
of “Independent Democrat,” and who
have thoughtlessly given him their sup
port, will have thoir eyes opened, and
will henceforth refuse to adhere to him.
The ColambaeSniuircr-Sun, for instance,
which at the lost election heartily
advocated tho canso of the reverend
politician, now sees aad acknowl
edges its mistake, and, as will bo seen
by the article whioh we print in an
other column, now as heartily denounces
him. The Enquirer declares that it fa
vored Dr. Felton’s election bocauas it be
lieved him to bo a better Democrat than
his opponent, bat now, since bis letter ap
peared, it finds that it was in error, and
asserts that hereafter it will leave bolters
alone and will stand steadfastly by the
organized Demooraoy. It frankly con
fesses that it has had enongb of indo-
pendentism, and says: “Wo will here
after choose men we can trust; who will
know when to encourage friends and not
dishearten them a3 Dr. Felton has done.
We will cling closer around our cinse.
We will nominate t men who will bo true
to no clique or ring, bat to the State; no
Independents, bat honest Democrats,
who can sty yes or no and mean it, and
elect them."

POTTSYLVASIA CITY, Vi.Feh 18,1879.
Deis Sirs: I had the dyspepsia about three
years ago; it had run on me for two or three
rears, and I tried all of our doctors and every
tind of medicine 1 could think of, aud nothing
did me any good at all. I happened to get one
of Simmons’ almanacs, and saw tho Regulator
highly recommended for Dyspepsia. I was in-
duoea to try it and after taking the medicine
about six weeks it made a perfect cure. I have
recommended it to a great many persons, audit
has given general satisfaction.
