D.G W.[9 The Journal wants us th state that
after having published two articles from the
Democrat defamatory of the character of the
Sheriff, it gave the Sheriff a chance to get
even by opening its colunms to him; and this
the Journal thinks isa great virtue on its
part. i There must he a queer idea prevailing
in that office of what pertains to gentlemanly:
dealing. Itis the first time that a newspaper
has claimed, after having called a public man
a rascal, that to give him a chance in the
game columne te say he-was ne euch man,
made it all right. Such.» course would leave
the impreasion on the public mind that the paper adhered to its old opinion.
The matter_summéed up is about this :—
The Journal calls a man a dem scoundrel,
and invites him tosay he ain't, or “ you're’
another."
‘We Take IT Back. — The unpleasany

hastily. “We were evidently in error. Th®

might be construed in that way. But this

The editor of that paper is # little befogged—

' By the way does the editor of the Journal
think it just right, or incumbent on him to
‘glare the thing, that the editor of this paper
was the proposer of the proposition to charge
the county five hundred dollars for the county printing, at the same time expressing ignorance whether the editor of the Democrat
as Supervisor voted to award the contract to
his own paper? The editor of the Taanscripr hasbeen reticent. Whos the sneak

Homictpe in San JoaQvutn.—A man by
the name of Romines was killed, March 23d,
on the Hogan road, about-thirteen miles from
ing particulars in reference to the affair:
The killing was done by J. C, Shepherd,
who wns formerly in business in this city.—
The weapon used was a revolver, the ball
striking Romines in the back part of the head,
when the deceased fell forward on his face.
Shepherd immediately cate te tewn and de~
livered himself up to Sheriff Hook. The
-reasons-_given forthe aet-are, that Romines
had spoken against the character of Mrs.
family. This state of affairs had been going
on for several months up to the time of the
killing of Romines. The deceased liad formerly worked for Shepherd, during whieh
time hé and his Wile had taught Romines to
read aud write. After he was discharged he
bought a note against Shepherd, and ealling
upon Mra. Shepherd, he demanded she should
give him a new note with her named attached to it, and upon refusing, he threatened to kill her, and started after her with a
razor, when she ran, and upen reaching: the
door, fell and fainted. When she came to he
was gone. Afterward, he threatened her
that if she told her husband, he would “kill
every one of them.” He had been in the
habit of calling at the house and abusing the
family during Shepherd's absence, and upon
one occasion Mrs. Shepherd endeavored to
shoot him with a shot gun, and thus ran him
off. On the morning of the 22d, Shepherd)
saw him going by, when he started after him
and shot. him in the head. Romines was
aged about twenty-five years.
ES"The Progress. of Catholicism in New
England is one of the marked faets of this
dayLast mouth they dedicated two splendid churches, each of which éo«t them from
‘fifty to sixty thousand dollars; one in Charlestown and the other in Springfield. The
number of Catholics at Springfield is stated
to be five thousand, though there was not
enough there twenty-years ago te have worship in a private houge. This ie their history
in all the chief towns and cities: and if they
‘should make the same progress for a century
to come that they have in the last twenty-five
ears, they would be in a majority in this old
uritan State. Many Protestauts please
themeelves with the idea that their increase
is solely by immigration, and the children
will ahjure the faith of their fathers. Never
was ® greater mistake. A majority of all
the chikireti born in Boston are Catholics,
and so much fasterdo they relatively multiply that this will shortly be sein the other
vities, Nor do we perceive that the young
Catholics are! ss tenacious of their religion
than were their fathers fresh from Ireland.
