It took thirty or forty years w to ecvert the conutry to the ballot; but the . ?isee is already admitting the principle of the ,. representation of minorities, which it combat y td so fieroely only six years ago when three 4 cornered conatitnencees weore invented. We do y not complain of the conversion-far from It- I g for we have always advocated the principle as s the onl one on which Catholios have a chance I of geting rsprsentin England-we simply s r nose the fact.

This artele has elicited in its turn a letter from Lord Grey, Sacknowledging the fact, and pointing out , tbhat while the jostle of the principle Is be n coming every day more ieeral sed, ti L .'the best modeof appying it is very fefr rm o being yet ascertained. He suggests, there ' fore, a Royal Commission, as the tme is lng Slarly favorable for such an enquiry, in aows- I d queues of the absence of any agitation on the a a subject; and he recalled, as a warning, the no a gleos to institute an enquiry lnat the re te sentation during the peaceful years wch 11i Spreceded the last Reform Bills In conseuence t of which neglect a "crude an il-conasidered" t °measure was introdnoed in 1866, tobe detested b and followed by " the still worse measure of I 1867."

It We might irfer trat Lrabitual sorrow" is also w to be discouraged, but we are quite ready to Ii, admrrit that this as not what thie Protestant wi Ilisihops meant. What they meant was, that ne confession was very ullowable wrhe made to a de respeetahle ol elergy .m baman who feel. ill, and thinks it would setis mind at rest, or by. one who has committed a murder or swiedled a bak.

But we fancy Sthis will prs lmes hardly upon them than it woueld upon people to whom episcopal govern ment was a reality. Their theorywe be Slieve, is that as tbheir Bisbope are motly here Itical, every."priest" has a right to be his own Bishop-a view not without its advantages; as you got the credit of being under episcopal government, without any personal inconveni eoces. PRAxCE. he French .Eictesja sad their .fec.-lIn France matters are coming to a crisis. The elections have all gone for the Radicels except in the Charente Infereure, where I. Bofnton, a Buapartist, has been elected over a moder- I ate Republican, on the strength of his free trade opinion. At Lyons M. Ranc the mem ber of lhe Paris Commone, and U. enyot have polled considerably more than donble the votes recorded for their opponents; In the Haute-Vienna Mi. .Perio, a sRepublican, has beaten M. B. Saint Mare Girardia; and in the Lair-et-Cher, M. Leaguillon, a Radical, has been returned by a overwhelming majoity. The Bepsblique Fleutoeee, IM. Gambetta's organ, 1 deelares that a regular notile to quit i doe I form has thus been served upon the Assembly; 1 sad other Radiocal organs are clamoring for a 4 seeoup detat. The Presdent, as it would appear, I does not quite know what to do. It has been alleged that he has come to the determination I formally to proclaim the Republio, but we do I not believe i., for he would be immediately 1 met by a voteof ceensore. It is clear that he can no lsnger obtain support from both sides of the Assembly; the best circus rider in the world cannot bestride two horses which are alloping in oppesite direetiens. It is accord uaagly so that his private wish is to 1 rsign; but as e cannot well do so before the completion of the liberation of the territory, bwhich it is expected will take plasce about the 15th July, he would lihto tide overthe difficulooties of the Coestitutital Bills, however, are ready and the Ministers are said to be opposed to an pos nment of them. We are, therefore, is to think that M. Thies. will be pers without much 4iffl eIlty to make the best of his position and re main in power for the present. But he cannot last forever, sad there seems every reason to fear that after him will come the deluge. It is, therefore, only natural that CaItholice sheld Ilok to prayers as their only resource, and should be organizking pilgrimages on a scale, s sch as those to NotreDamedo ad to Paray-le-MIoaial, the conventof Bleasted Margaret Mary, and the cradle of the devotion to the Sacred Heart. The Belgians are about to take a part in the pilgrimage to the Slast-named bshrine, and the projethas received the warm approbation of theirishope, and also of the bolyP Fatber, through the Nunclo at Paris. His eoliness has also specially approved of the proposal to petition the Assoembly to consecrate France to the Sacred Heart. ewrrITRLAND.

Firm on on is there ore necessary, if e do not mean to submit tyranny." These are noble words, worthy of the head of the ancient, free I and Catholio Canton of Ur. It is Ihe 'eved that the sentiments of the Governmeut of Lu corne are not very different, and that the tem- c portlog policy expressed in their recent letter a b orced upon them. Mgr. Lachat has a arrived at Fribourg for the meeting of the Swiss Bishope and has been received with an d ovation. There is no doubt that he would be e able to carry on the government of the Church r in the five cantons without causing any incon venienc to the Government of Luerne; but the Berne Government in its monatrous de ore., exacts from every priest a declaration e that he does not assune parochial charge by u order or sanction of the Bishop. The clergy e have sent in a second protest, and the first an- . swer of the population in the Jura has been g the almost unanimons rejection of the new law fer increasing the pay of civil fonctioonaries. " You deprive us," they say, " of our priests, h we oertainly will not raise your salaries." ie Piesaiseas REcoeftiesl Loarw.-The Lower a House of the Prosian Parliament has given o its fioal approval to the four Ecolbelaseical a Bills as sent down from the Upper House; and a in rep:y to the deolaration of some Conserva tive member that the Catholic Church could never submuit to these laws, Dr. Falk taunted them with the fact that the Centre had al ways claimed to be the most law abiding sec tion of the Honee, and added that the law. would ho energetically carried out, and, if di necessary, strengthened hy othera.

Kow. g that e present rulers of our Indias Affairs at Washigton have thrown every obstacle in athe Wa of Catholio Missions, Mr. Monteith, e likea faithful agent of the rulers hbe serves, it determined to maie those obstacles, at lest in " hbis owe hbiliwek, simply inaeormouatable. SHe accordingly denounced the priests to the Iadians, and thwarted the apostolio work of the former by every means at his command. t an unlaucky moement for himself he sought Sto seoore formal and notorious sanction for his -bigotry intolerance and speculations, and ao Scording wrote to Hoo. E. P. Smith, Commis. 1 sioner of the Indian Office at Washington, ask I lug for permission to drive the priests away by r the strong hand, and keep them out of his "eeebyterian agency and mision." T.

Here I is his answer. It proves the extraordinary condition of Indian affairs, to which we ad verted in our leading article last week. Now, let the Catholio press unite in demandingJs tice for the poor deloded red men and fair play for our Catholio Miselonaries; Wamnrxror, May 24, 1873. 1 Sir-Referring to your letter of May 25 stating that there are thirty or more Catholico Indians on the Reservation, and that their priest has asked permission to hold religions ceremonies in the school-house, which was promptly refused him; also, that their request to erect a church ten or twelve miles from-thet ageney was refused, and that of late the priest I has been holding Catholic services among the Indians and to your inquiry, "Have I the right, this being a Presbyterlan agency and mission to exercise such control over the mor ale of this people as will enable me-to prohibit the teaching of the Catholic fahith, or the hold lug Catholic ss'vicq among them, even though the Indians desire it and clamor for it?" I c have to say that the fact that your agency is under the charge of the Presbyterian Church j does not warrant any intolerant exercise ofj power, and that while it is desirable in all cases that the nmission work should be done under the direetion of the religious body I nosinating the agent, yet where there are persons that have another faith, and desire religions services of their own, it is not i aso ordanoe with publie policy or the spirit of religious toleration to forbid or hinder any suci servie in andy py. If it is net desirable, tohbold any religious service in the schbool hote, andyour refusal was on that ground it Is jstiftled, otherwise not. It is believed arh abitrary prohibition would work more m than the division of feeling likely to result froma the working of more than one mis ien on the same reservation.

SThe history of Father DeSmet is briefly as follows: he was born at Dan4ermonde, Belgiaum, in 1801.

From that time to the day of his death, May, 8d4 187. ?his life asy be summed In the few words " that he devoted himself en- I tirely to the Indians." His ebeequlese were attended by the Archbbishop of St.8 Louis, Shis ooadjatpr Bishop Ryan, and many i priests, besides thousands of the faithful.
