I have the pleasure of telling you now
Messrs Editors, what I might and ashould
have told you some time ago, namely, that
-all of your subscrlbers here, several of
whom are Protestants, have expressed
themselves to me as more than pleased
with the Momrtno STAR AND CATHOLIC
Massnsa;n they, like myself, consider it
the best family paper and most ably
edited Catholio paper in America; I
except none-give none precedence over
it-would exchange it for none; one of
your subseribera here, a non-Catholic, and
a well-read and reading man, told me he
would not give it for all his other papers
put together. My MORNINGo STARn is my
Sunday evening's dessert; nay more, I
enjoy it as the Frenchman does his poesse
oalg and cigar, or the Italian his cigarette
and semmeresiesta, except that its pleasures
and its stimulation are to the mind and
soul, and not the body.
And that enchanting writer, Mrs. Elder,
we are all much pleased with; "Ellen
Fitz erald" Js well written, entertaining
and tifl, worthy of any circle or In
tell arw scenes and characters are
ho like and natural, not strained or
ov srought. I like the simple, yet high
ton , no e bearing of her leadslg per
sons; domestic love and peace and har
mony, more read about than realized, she
piotures well. Mrs. Elder (with her per
mission) Is an eloquent, a beautiful and
guest wetter, and oq*-ot-he- very, few
lAdy writers of our day, after whom I can
read with any degree of pleasure or satin
faetieo. Her writings are totally void of
that vanity, or egotistical effort at display,
so palpable and characteristic, in American
female writers generally-an effemlinate
weakness, which often leads them to sacri
ce plot, sense .and sucess to a love of dis
play-a vain deaire to be thought, not to
bonme, deeply read and learned.- We all
like Mrs. Elder. May ahe live to write ne
many a tale, to while our lonesome hours

In England sa Ia Seotland the iember
of landilpr ei e is eeesiiagly smll,
and yet it I taly dimlisbh year y
whish is Ieoasideraby less than the
numbser- istlag at aytssals ees Domes
day Rook was compiled. -The diminution
of the number of andowee may be chl
ly ascribed to the anxiety of the reat lords
of the coil to add to. their territory, and
their consequent readiness to give high
prioes for any smarl tote of land in their
visinity whleh may happen to come into
the market. The dual diminutioe, or
rather the fast-approaching etanction, of
the yeoman-farmer class, at least re the
midland aed saouthern counties of Enland,
may be attributed, ist land-parchsin
pasles ea the part i r more powerll
nelghbors. Pee s d wealthy commobera
in mary parte of Egland are in the lhabit
of systematically buiag up all the farms'
which can be obtained, partly with a view
to increassed politicalt and sC infdaence,
and this is often done with the aid of bor
rowed money. Whether the investment be
repunerative or not is hardly considered;
the parebase is to be made at any price.
Henem, on the death of the small proprie
tor, his family cannot resist the temptation
of selling at an over-value. -This abeorp
tica of farms may not yet have attained
thecharacter of a public grievance; but it
is destianed to be so regarded at no very
distant date. Let the prosperity of Eng
land receive a check, and there will bean
outcry against the possession of whole die
trints, and even coaunties, by a smaill aknot
of aristocratic landlords. Thoughtfl ob
I slvers regard this as one of the most dan
gerous of theaocelerating canuses of trouble

shadows over the future of. England.
FRANCS.
The Revenge of the Commune.-Rossel's
request that there might be no vengeance
exacted for his death does not seem likely
to be complied with by his friends. These
are the predictions of Citizen Borsolle, ex
Lieutenant-Colonel of Artillery, and aide
decaimp to Rosael. He is addressing those
now in power. " Some morning youea will
see the gallows of Moutrfancon erected for
all of yeou, but it will be on the Place de
la Concorde. To these enormoeus gibbets,
on which anciently thqsq were hung who
were not good enoug 'for the axe and
block, you will be suspended. There you
ill .hang, your faces distorted, your
tongues swollen and blue, and your eyes
starting. There you will remain night and
day, in son and rain, till your foul bodies
are completely decayed and have fallen bit
by bit into the dust and mud of the public
square. We shall manage also to lay
Shands on your children and your wiver.
We will bring them to the foot of 'the gib
bets, and under your corpses we will make
them dance. And they shall dance in time,
for we will beat the time with whips upon
their shoulders. Then will the justice of
Paris be avenged." Citizen Borzelle might
also compete with Citizen Vermerach for
the post of poet to the party. Some of its
adherents, at least, did not require any
stimulus to blood-thirstiness such as the
memory of the execution at Satory. The
SLiberte tells us that It has seen the plan for
a new steam guillotine, the special merit
of which is that it is warranted to out of
Ssixty heads in a minute. The axerises, in
stead of falling, with a constant move

by exact mathematical calcoulations of tIhe
motive force and the working power of the

The Anti-Oatholics in the Prussian Courts.
The Prussian courts have just given a de
cision entirely at variance with the posi
tion taken up by the Minister of Public
Worship, Herr von Muhler. It was alleged
bthat since the Vatican Council the Catholic
Church had been other than it was before,
a position which would have been equally
tenable after every fresh definition of the
faith. The North Germas Gazsette having
been prosecuted for insults against the Pa
pacy, and having been saccessively con
demned in every couart into which the case
was brought, had appealed to the supreme
tribunal of Berlin; urging, apparently in
defence, that the Papacy was not an insti
tution of the Catholic Church, and that the
Catholic Church, since the definition, was
no longer what it was before. The triba
nal has decided against the appellants on
both points "The Papacy is an essential
Snstitution of the Catholic Church," and
" the Catholic Church, since the definition,
is the same that it was before."
BRelation. with Russia.- The Emperor
SAlexander has been proposing the health of
Sthe Emperor William, as the oldest Knight
I of the Order of St. George, in very cordial
r terms, and at the same time that of the
generals and officers of the Prussian army
Sbelonging to the -asoe Order. . He alladed
Sto the fraternal feeling existing for many
,years between the Russian and Prdiaisian
I armies, and to the first campaigns against
I Napoleon, in which that feeling grew up.
In this brotherhood, hesaid, perceive the
best guarantee for peace and legitimate
order In Europe. whatver jealousy of
Germany may be feli in Russia-and there
is no doubt that it is felt very widely ln
deed-the Emperor and the present Court
are decidedly German in their sympathies,
and the Moscorite party will have to wait
for another reign before they can hope to
ee their pollc oficially adopted. It is
even thought by some that if Austria is
being encoourged by Germany td take up a
g quaeibhostile attitude towards Russia, there
is no intention on toa part of Prince Bis
L marok to back op Auatria shoald a serious
quarrel ensue. He wlshes, of course to
I complete Germany; and perhaps it does
not very much signify to him whether be
a buys what he wants of Austria or of her
enemy. He will look for the cheapest mar
ket. The Borses Zefitag, of St. Peters
burg, would have us believe that the alli
ance of Russia and Germsan signimes " a
durable universal peace." "Western
Europe,1' it says, "mlstrusts Ruasia, and
believes that the latter threatens the order
which has been established there. But
that fear is unnecessary, the former policy
r of Roulss having ceased with the funds
mental reforms introduced by the present
Government." We wilh we could share in
the happy ilusion that lasting peace is to
be secured by any alliance whatever.
Heartily united as Germany may seem
on a superfical view to foreign nations, she
is in reality not so, and certaluold, disia

of the Liberals the glory and happiness of

their trade, their money, their rights-nay,
even their Liberty; the Princlpality groans
Uonder the burthen of the Prussian military

vention, the fact is rioted to that dirty
Bade omoers have, within a few days,
taken thbir pensions in disgust. One
Liberal Depoty went so far as to say that
the Conservative party might bave its way

France lets things take their natural
course, the disruption of the new Empire

The New .Ministry. - The new Belgian
Ministers all belong to the so-called Cleri
eal party, and are completely free in the
eyes of Catholies from the taint of Liberal
GUATEMALA.
A correspondent, writing to the Illustra
chon of Bogeta, says that the question of
the Jesnits is still a bone of-contention be
tween the Government and the people.
The influence and good works of tihe Fa
thers remain and continue to bear fruit. It
will take all the time of our new rulers to
eradicate the same from the people's minds
and hearts; indeed they believe it to be
the intention of our new-fledged Liberals
to piroscribe religion altogether. However,
the Government are beginning to see that
they have commenced at the Frong end,
and that, instead of putting in force the
sword, they ought to have applied the
spiritual weapon. C9-..quently they re
quested the Metr opltan Archbishop to
issue a Pastorii spring the discontented
that no attackagainst religion was intend
ed. This the saintly prelate refused to do,
aLating that, having opposed by counsel
and advice the expulsion of the- Jesuit
Fathers, he could not so far de violence to
his conscience as a Catholic bishop to ad
vise his flock to trust and put implicit faith
in the words and actions of a Government
which had thus acted. The Bishop of Teys
t6ok the same view: then and not till.then
did the iniquitons set show their teeth.
The autborities issued the following de
cree: "The Government, not wishing to
panish the simple and ignorant people to
whom rebellion has been preached by their
religious teachers, find it necessary to send
the Metropolitan Archbishopand the Bishop
of Teya out of the country, in order to be
able to reorganize the Republic." Oh, what
rofilansI They have robbed the Church,
and now-they banish itschief pastors; but
the day of retribution must come for them,
as it has already for another Liberal Presi
dent, who, as your readers may remember,
banished the Archbishop of Caracas and
prohibited religions teacing n the schools
of the Republic.
THa Var Rev. FATHER De SMET -We
feel great pleasure in announcing the ar
rival toin Dublin of that very distingbuished
and apostollo missionary, the Very Rev.
Father De Smet, of the Society of Jesus.
The labors and zeal of this truly great and
good man for so many years among the va
rious Indian tribes of Oregon, California,
and the Rocky Mountain regions of Ameri
ca, are well known, owing to those beanti
fnL sdoe' Aecriitlve tolumes published in
the United Ses.F ese.ell deserve to
rank with the Lettres EdJLants of Curiear
which have emanated from the early mis
sionaries of his order in different parts of
the world.--As St. Francis Xavier has so
well merited the title of Apostle of the
East Indians in a past century, so the self
sacrifiching and holy missionary who now
honors our-city by his presence has carried
the light of faith to the Red Men of the
Western world, and he may justly be called
their apostle. In their own figurative lan
gnage the Indian tribes call him the Black
Gown, and the good Father who speaks to
the Great Spirit for his Indian children.
Fourteen of fifteen times Father De Smet,
a native of Belgram, has crossed the Atlan
tic as Procurator of the Indian Missions.
He'ano returns, with anumber of his coun
trymen, priests and novices, to supply the
wapte of his noble institute, and, above all,
the missions of the Rocky Mountains. It
is also possible he may have Irish mission
aries-and this, we learn, lie specially de
sires-to labor in the Lord's vineyard.
We are happy to learn that the venerable
Father De Smet still looks vigorous and
hale, if not yonng.-Dublia Freeman'.

WAAnnmoTox. - A delegation of negroes
called on the President in behalf of the pend
ing supplemental civil rights bill. The Presi
dent remarked that he thought although some
of the rights which they had a claim .to under
the recent amendmenta to the Constitution
were witbbhheld, still the courts of law would
accord all legal privileges. He considers that
pending the supplementary civil rights bill ap
amnmesty measure would jeopardize the pasge
of thb latter, and In that respect it would be
unfortunate. The former, be thought, from
his knowledge of it, would pass on the merit
as a separate and distinct measure. Theepub
liean National Committee fied the first Wed
nesday in June as the day, andPhiladelphia as
the place of the meeting of the Nominating
Convention. Very good authorities state that
the following view of Louisiana afhirs is
taken in Washington: Louisian afsairs ex
cite a good deal of comment here All concur
that the general proceedins are disgraceful;
both sides are condemned Tn certain particu
lar,. The absence of Senators to prevent a
quorum is regarded as revolationary. The
arrest of the Governor and others is deemed a
prostitution of the law to an .unworthy par
ose. The calling of an extra session of the
islature, under the circumoostances, Is
viewed as extraordinary and unconstitutional.
The placing of police and militia about the
State House is denounced as intimidating to
wards the Legislature, and the order not to
permit Mr. Caster to $o to the House to assert
th6ir claims to eats -is regarded as despotic.
It is doubtful whether martial law will be pro
claimed. If declared the better opinion seems
to be that the Executive, the Legislature and
the courts will be left free to acst, except the
pollee and militia will not be allowed to inter

Niw YORx.-Each week New York city has
a new and great excitement over which the
people seem to grow almost insane. The July
riot, the war against Tammany, the visit of
Alexis having palled upon the public taste, we
have this week to record the killing of the
celebrated James Fisk, Jr., Prince of Erie.
A man named Stokes, whom Fisk had befriend
ed in every possible way, going so far as to
loan him $30,000 to start in business, having
conceived the idea that he could make more
money out of Fisak by threatening to expose
his private affairs, and having failed, in a "fit
offrenzy," as he claims, shot him at 4} o'clock,
Saturday evening, as he was entering the
Grand Central liHotel. Fisk died next day at
10:45, A. M., in the presence-of his wife, his fa
ther-in-law, Mr. Morse, Jay Gould and a num
ber of friends. The employees of the Erie
Railroad, of all grades, crowded the corridors
during the morning. While Fisk lived Gould's
face wore its usbal calm expression, but when
Fisk died his fortitude gave way, and his grief
found vent in tears. No unkind word has been
beard of the dead from the vast crowd, but
many tongues recounted his acts of kindness.
Fisk's remains were removed on the 8th to the
railroad depot, to be taken to Brattelboro, Vt,
for interment. The removal was attended by
vast crowds. The membereof the Ninth Regi
ment say they will hang Stokes, whois now in
the Toombs. Fisk willed is sister, Mrs.
Hooker, $100,000; his father and mother $3000
per annum; his sisters-in-law, $9000 per year;
the Ninth Regiment, $11,000. To Jay Goald
for whom he entertained the warmest andi
most disinterested friendship, be left his per
lsona e , ntrnsted to him the labor
of love (so it is called in the will) of carrying
out all of his (Fik's) projects in regard to
public improvements. Mrs. Fisk inherits her
huband's shares in the Erie railway. The
sorrow evinced for Fisk among the employees
of the various industries wherewith he was
identified is touching. The negro Howard,
who was the cause of the riots in Rochester,
having plead guilty of the charges against
him, was sentenced to twenty years in the
penitentiary. He was very happy to get safely
within the walls, and as he passed up stairs In
the main hall, he put his hand to his nose and
made fan of the crowd outside.
SocTrn CAnoLNxA.-The Kuklux trials are
finished for the present. Forty-eight Koklux
from Spartansburg were sentenced to terms of
imprisonment varying from one month to two
years. The Legislature met on the 8th. On
the 9th a Message was received from Governor
Scott, defending himself against Bowen's
charges in the House. Bowen replied with
bitterness to the Message, challenging Scott to
meet his charges in the courts.
LouraXAnA.- The Ouachita Telegraph sums
up the losses by the recent fire at $610,000, in
surance $203,500. The Telegraph denounces the
action of Governor Warmoth as undignified
andenormonus.
TExAs.-Dispatches from Austin, 10th, state
there was no session of the Legislature. Some
members have met privately and discussed the
prospects, but have done nothing.
CALIFORNImA.-The Assembly have adopted a
resolution asking Congress to pass an act re
stricting Chinese immigration. The latest ad
vices from the head waters of Keroey river,
where the fight between Charles Jones, the
escaped convict from Nevada prison, and
FranciO Armistead, who was pursuing him,
occurred, confrm the particulars irst receiv
ed. Jones wss hit twelve times and Armistead
nine times with pistol shots. Both died. The
fight Is considered the most desperate ever
recorded. The recent stormbas been the most
extensive and severe experienced in ten years.
Thousands of cattle perished by the flood in
the Sacramento Valley. The storm is still
raging in that locality, and the rivers continue
rising.
THE IMDIAiS.
A delegation of Creek Indians has passed
through St. Louis, en route for Washington, to
oppose the abolition of tribal government, and
to lnsist upon the observance by the Govern
ment of treaty stipo!ations. They object to
Congres giviag away their landd, but not to
railroads passing through them.
EioLANb.
Lord Stanley addressed a large meeting of
workiugmen at Liverpool on the 10th. In the
course of his remarks he said the old liberal
programme has exhausted its vitality, and he
expected in future conservatism would prevail
in all new questions. Mr. Wilbank. M. P., for
North Yerkshire, in an address to his constitu
ents, denonaced the public course of Sir
Charles Dlke. He promised to call on him to
repeat in Parliament his declaration in regard
to the Crown and the Government, and in the
event of his failing to answer, to brand him as
he deserves. All the London papers have ar
ticles on the assassination of Jas. Fisk, Jr.
They cite the cases of Richardson and Critten
den; attribute the frequency of sneh deeds to
the peculiar elvilisastio of America, and do
aoonce the laxity of public sentiment, and the
weakness of the courts which make the prac

former expressions of friendship for the

greseion the patent-offices of the ioven

the creators of every imaginable project to
this end, and their repositories erowded
with macehines of most singurlar and com

was that of an enterprising Clifornian,
involving an oatl, fd fL . .
for the net-work, with a thirty-foeot boat
slaung beneath the car, haling a fan, like
that of a winnowing machine, to propel it,
and to be worked by an Ericeson engianeof
four horse-power. The invorentor expected
this serial ship to traverse the Atlantlc

made its appearance at Southampton or
Liverpool. -Balloons, as is known, were
used-te-xcellent purpose in the late war,
both for warlike operations ofreconnols
sance and the more benescent object of
transporting letters, of which some two
and a half million were thus carried back
and forth from the beleaguered French
capital; and M. Gambetta may be one of
the few statesmen who will be inclined to
eeho the enthusiasm-of his countryman
above quoted. Balloons were need for ob
serving a hostile army as long ago as Na

Mexican War it was proposed-though the
proposal wasianokadopted-to constract a
great air-ship, load it with bombs and tor
pedoes, and from It rain down these explo
sives upnu some of the devoted Mexican
towns. That so terrific a use of the bal

cross the mind of the Gallio rhapsodist, It.
must leave Is fancy in a pitiable conafu

invention to heal Its divisions, extinguish
its jealousies, and knit Its mass together is
" universal fraternity;" but a man must
be indulged a little when the is astride of
his hobby.
