SEXTON'S DOUBLE RETURN.
His Keturn for West Belfast Baises a Cu
rious Point of Parliamentary
Practice.
IT HAS ONLY ONE PRECEDENT.
."Fifty Years Ago Daniel O'Connell Was
Placed in a Similar Pre
dicament.
Says the correspondent of the Free
man's Journal, writing from London
recently, "The lodging of the petition
against Mr. Sexton's return for West
Belfast has raised a curious point of
parliamentary practice, one for which
only a solitary precedent exists, and
that is neariy fifty years old. When
the speaker returned from the House of
Lords to-day, having completed the
last stage of his election by receiving
the approval of the Queen by a royal
commission, Mr Sexton's letter elect
ing to sit for West Belfast was handed
to him. It was in the following terms:
•Sir: ITuviu^ been returned for Soiuh Siigo
nud West Belfast, I beg leave to say that I elect
to sit for West Bull'ust. Yours, etc.,

THOMAS .SEXTOS.'
Mr. Sexton's object in taking this
step was to enable Mr. I)easy to move
for a new
writ
for South Sligo when the
writs for the re-election of ministers
were being moved at 4 o'clock. But
the authorities of the House were evi
dently in doubt as to the legality of
permitting the new writ to be moved,
although their minds were not very
clear as to what course they should
adopt. When Mr. Sexton presented
himself to take the oath the third clerk
raised some question as to his eligi
bility, which, of course, was absurd.
M.r. Sexton pointed out he was entitled
to he sworn in
any
case as member for
South Sligo, although no valid objection
could even be raised to his right to be
sworn for West Belfast. Doubtmgly
the cierk administered the oath to him,
and he passed on to sign the roll of
Farliamewt. Here he met witli a Ques
tion from, the chief ..clerk, who thought
that he couid not sign for either con
stituency. The fact was that the clerks,
who were privately cognizant of Mr.
letter electing to sit for West
Belfast, were actually endeavoring to
proceed upon that knowledge though
the letter had not been communicated
to the House, and had as yet no legal
effect.
THE DIFFICULTY ABOUT SIGNING
the roll for either constituency Mr.
Sexton quickly solved by signing for
both, as he had a perfect right to do.
The speaker informed Him, when Mr.
Sexton was introduced to him in the
ordinary way. that there was some dif
ficulty about permitting the liew writ
for Sligo being moved until the petition
for West Belfast had been decided. He
referred Mr. Sexton to the following
standing order of the House which
ruled the point. Tit at all members
who are returned for two or more
places in any part of the Uuited King
dom do make their selection for which
of the places they will serve within one
week after it shall appear that there is
no question upon the return for that
place.' The late Sir Erksine May, in
his 'Parliamentary Practice,' gives the
following explanation of this standing
order: "The order regulates the man
ner of choosing for which place a mem
ber will sit when he las. been returned
for more than one. \Y hen the time
limited for presenting a petition to the
court against his return has expired,
and no petition has been presented, he
is required to make his election within
a week in oruer that his constitnents
may no longer be deprived of represen
tation. When a petition has been pre
sented against his return for one place
only he cannot elect to serve for either.
He cannot abandon the seat petitioned
against, which may be proved to belong
oi right to another, and thus render
void an election which may turn out to
have been good in favor of some other
candidate, neither can abandon the
other seat, because if it should be
proved that he is only entitled to sit for
one there is no election to make, and
he cannot give up the seat without
incurred some legal disqualifi­
cation, such as the acceptance of office
or bankruptcy.' Upon this principle
on May 24,1842, Mr. Daniel O'Connell,
who had been chosen for the counties
of Cork and Meath, elected to sit for
the former directly after the report of
the' election committee, by which he
bad been duly declared to have been
elected for that county It is interest
ing to know that O'Connell endeavored
to do exactly what Mr. Sexton at
tempted yesterday evening on the as
sembling of the new Parliament on
Sept. 8,1S41. After the new
WRITS FOR THE,BE ELECTION IY
of ministers- had been issued, as upon
yesterday, the speaker informed the
House that he had received the follow­
,ti
I
ing letter from Mr. Daniel O'Connell:
MKRIUON SQUARE, DUBLIN, Sept. 4,1841.
Sir: Having been returned to eerve in the
present Parliament for the county Meath as
well as the county Cork, beg- leave to state to
you for tbe information of the louse of Com
mons, that it is my intention to elect—and I do
elect—to sit for the county Cork. Should auy
other act be necessary on my part to carry
this intention into effect—so that the
new writ may issue at the earliest possible per
iod for the county Meal I:—I am ready to do
that act as soon as 1 am apprised of the nature
of it. 1 have very respectfully to request that
you will be pleased to communicate my elec
tion to serve for the county Cork in the pref.cul
Parliament so soon as the rules of the House
will permit said communication to be made.
Your obedient servant,
D,-, MEL O'CONNELL.
According to the Journals of the
House, the speaker informed the House,
after reading the above letter, that
since the date of Mr. O'Connell's letter
a petition complaining of his return for
Cork had been presented to the House,
and that the honorable member was ac
cordingly prevented from making his
election: The journals of the House
further record that on May 21,1842, the
petit!ou committee had reported that
O'Counell's election for the county
Cork was valid, and three days later
the writ was issued for Meath. The
case of Mr. Sexton is similiar to that of
O'Connell in all important particulars,
so that now the writ for South Sligo
canno be issued until the petition in
West Belfast has been determined. I
may add, however, that the authorities
of the House had yesterday no official
or legal knowledge of the existence of
the petition, but were merely acting on
the paragraphs that had appeared in
the papers but this objection was met
by the speaker simply holding over Mr.
Sexton's letter, as he was not under
any obligation to read it at once. I
presume the official notification of the
petition will reach the speaker before
the House reassembles on the 19th."
Cork House.
This mansion was erected on the
southern side of Cork Hill by Richard
Boyle, the first Earl of Cork, in the be
ginning of the 17tli century. Here that
most perfect specimen the English
adventurer lived and wrote canting ac
f^o.unts of hi^robj^ries in language
which could not be surpassed for brazen
blasphemy. Early in the reign of Char
les II. Cork House was occupied by the
"Farmers of the Kings Revenue in Ire
land." After a series of vicissitudes a
portion of the old mansion was fitted
up as a coffee house by a man named
Lucas, where the dudes of the city
aired their line figures, and their hue
clothes. The yard behind this model
inn was the scene of numerous duels
and afforded every convenience, the
spectators in the numerous windows of
the old house were enabled to have a
full view of the mortal combat, and
were not alone in a position to see at
the laws of honor were properly satis
fied, but could make their bets at to the
probable survive:' at their ease. It was
while leaving Lucas's Coffee House
that the notorious Col. Henry Luttreli
was assassinated in 1717, while being
carried in a hackney chair. In the
rooms was the academy of Bernard
Clarke, who was one of the original
contributors of the Freeman's Journal.
In July ,1768, the house was demolished
under the act for making wide streets.
Antiquities of Portumna.
vPortumna
is remarkable for having
the ruins of a chapei built by the Cis
tercian Monks of Dunbrody in the
County Waterford,and dedicated to SS.
Peter and Paul, within the Marquis of
Clanricard's demense. It must have
been a noble structure, as the walls
testify and trees of gigantic growth
are growing now from the floor of that
sacred edifice where Mass was offered
and the good monks chanted their holy
hymns and read their breviaries long
before the Saxons under Cromwell and
his vile hords leveled the shrines and
temples of God to the dust. Subse
quently O'Maddan, the djnast of the
territory, gave the cbapel to the Dom
inican Friars, who elected a friary, and
and dedicated it to the Blessed Virgin,
not however until they got authority to
do so from the monks of Dunbrody,
and Pope Martin Y„ by a Bull dated
October 8,1426, confirmed the posses
sion. At the burned down castle at
Portumna the Earl of Stratford pre
sided over a council which was held to
establish the king's right to the for
feited estates in Connaught, and they
decided that the royal demands were
unjust, for which they were sent to
Dublin as prisoners by the sheriff.
Charles Wolfe, the author of "The
Burial of Sir John Moore," was born in
Dublin, Lecember, 1791. He was edu
cated at Winchester, England at Trin
ity College, Dublin. He took orders
and received an appointment as a cu
rate in Ulster. He died of consump
tion at Queenstown, February, 1S22.
Though talented, he never appears to
have attached any yalue to his own
writings. ..

NEGLECTED LITERATURE.
The Incessant Struggle for Ascendancy Ex
isting for Centuries Between Ire
land and England,
IRELAND'S ANCIENT LITERATURE.
It Was the Common Property of the Whole
People to Such an Extent as Scarcely
Ever Happened Elsewhere.
While Celt and Saxon are playing the
"great game for empire, a match that
more than any other to-day claims the
world's attention, it may make the
spectacle still more interesting to on
lookers, if the motives, means and his
torical characteristics of the antagonists
be clearly understood. It is really the
greatest puzzle of the ago how the peo
ple of a small island after 800 years in
incessant struggle and constant defeat
are able to wage a not unequal battle
against the most powerful empire. This
struggle was by no means a lover's
quarrel, it was the hardest and most in
tense since that between Home and
Carthage. Hundreds of thousands of
the Irish fell by sword and famine every
means ever employed by one nation
against another was used against them
slaughter without scrupuie, destruction
of the crops, the seizure and trans por
tion of the little children as slaves, and
the confiscation of the soil three times
over. Yet, after all, here they are once
moie filling the world, with the report
of their conflict. That they shall win,
no one doubts: least of all do they doubt
themselves: neither do their opponents,
although to tnem the very thought is
gali and worm-wood. The great pro
blem is, how did they preserve their
spirit of nationhood, how did they re
sist so well the degrading influence of
slavery? They have not had for over
250 years one real Irish national school
or college in which to learn the glorious
creed of patriotism. They had none of
the ordinary human motives for loving
their native land, for as the poet said,
"It was treason to love her and death
to di fendTo the'answer^v'6' inust
glance back into the far past,'and there
we can see clearly the forces that oper
ated to keep the spirit of national chiv
alry alive in Erin through the darkest
period of her recent history. Ireland
had in the past and still possesses,to be
revived and renovated we may hope in
the future, one of the noblest and most
splendid literatures ever produced by a
people. This may sound strange to
many who think in their hearts with
the old pedagogue in his advertisement:
"I know and can teach all things, and
what I don't know is not worth the
knowing." However strange it is true,
and as the long twilight of Summer
lights the earth for hours after the sun
has disappeared below the horizon, and
the heat of the departed luminary still
warms the evening air, so the twilight
radiance and warmth of the vanished
Gaelic literature kept alive the aspira
tions of the patriotic soldier and lover
or the green isle long after Carolan had
sung his last strain and his harp was
nr.ng sad and silentfoiever on the wil
lows of Kilronan.
After the irreparable loss of an enor
mous number of fcbe most precious Gae
lic books at the hands of Danish and
English invaders, there still remains of
this ancient and valuable literature a
greater quantity than exists in any dead
language. There are in fact piles of
MSS. in Ireland, England.Belgium and
Italy, comprising among their contents
general and national history, civil and
ecclesiastical records, and abundant
genealogical materials, besides poetry,
romance, law and medicine, and some
iragments of tracts on mathematics,and
astronomy. Kot only does it abound
with original works, but it contains
translations from the Greek and Latin
languages sufficient to give the mere
Gaelic scholar a full and complete
knowledge of the history of these peo
ple. It is rich also in the records of the
Middle ages, and possesses translations
of the travels of Marco Polo
and Sir John Mandeville, con
temporaneous with the original writ
ings of these quaint old story
tellers. The quality of these books
is such as we might expect from
Irishmen at their best. Of the prose
compositions the most perfect in style
are the ecclesiastical words and homi
lies of the early saints. They attain
the high-water mark of the language for
purity, grandeur, and chaste eloquence:
indeed, to match them for condensed
strength and unadorned dignity, we
must go to the writings of Thucydides,
Tacitus, or Pascal. We know Mr.
Mathew Arnold, who is an authority on
style if on nothing else, rather prefers
the Gaelic to the Greek in this respect.
The Hellenic method was to view an
object in the clear white sunlight of the
Hellenic clime and mind it was placed
in a perfectly artistic
position and point
of view, and there described in the
S S S $ S 0
E E I E
lights and shades of its heroic qualities
and simple but sublime beauty. The
Greek stood afar off from his creation,
approaching it no nearer than the
artistic point of view—not so tbe Gael.
He perceived his work, it may be said
through all senses. He saw with his
eyes the brightness and glory of it, his
ears drank in its music surpassing
sweet to his taste it was honey
rolled in red wine his spirit
passed into it, aud made him and it one
incarnate whole. As Oisin said, every
member of his body was in love with it
the contemplation of it sufficed him foe
ever. The Gael's work is not so perfect
in bodily proportions as that of the
Greek but it has that living, active,
sympathetic, loving soul so often lacked
by the other. The Ossianic poetry,
which, with the great romantic tales,
such as the "Fate of the Children of
Usna," "The Fate of the Children of
Tuircain, the "Tain Bo Cuaiegrie," etc.,
make up the Irish epic, stands high
among the most heroic, noble and sub
lime productions of the mind of man.
A good deal of modern, inflated rubbish
has crept into most of what has come
down to us but this very fact shows
its popularity and universality. It was
the common property of the whole
people to such an extent as never hap
pened elsewhere except in the case of
the Homeric poems in Greece thus it
happened that vulgar story-tellers and
reciters.adulterated and inserted baser
metals among the fine gold yet ill we
can find among these unpruned poems
passages equal in beauty and sublimity
and surpassing' in tenderness any to be
found in the Iliad. The language in
which these ideas of truth, beauty aud
brilliant imagination are expressed is
strong, sweet, and simple in the ex
treme. If not, as the ancient traditions
tell, moulded by the poets in the old
Aiyati homes of the race, they cer
tainly chiselled., polished, and perfected
it at a later period, so that no living
language has such capacities for elo
queuce and music. Even in the last
century, dull and prosaic as it was.
songs were written in Gaelic among the
valleys of Muuster that rival the mas
terpieces of the Scottish lord of the
Church Indulgences,
On June 7tli, 1862, the late Sovereign
Pontiff, Pope Pius IX., through the sa
cred Congregation of Indulgences, is
sued an authorized version of the Most
Holy Name of Jesus, and signified his
intention of granting to the faithful an
indulgence of 300 days, whenever bish
ops should appiv for this favor for their
dioceses. Recently this last condition
has beeu removed. Pope Leo XIII.,
has extended the Indult of the late
Pope to the whole world and a decree
of the same Sacred Congregation dated
January 16,1SS6, grants the Indulgence
to all the faithful of both, sexes, and
makes it applicable to the souls in pur
gatory, the only condition being that it
should be the authorized version which
is used, and that it should be said de
voutly and with contrite heart. The
Indulgence, however, can ba gained
only once in the day.
A Brave Irishman,
An Irisman, who was a soldier of the
Revolution, and of Warre's brigade,
was suddenly stopped near Boston by a
party, during a dark night a horse
man's pistol was presented to his
breast, and he was asked to which side
he belonged. The supposition that he
might be a British party, rendered his
position extremely critical. He re
plied, "I think it would be more in the
way of civility, just to drop a hint
which side you are pleased to favor."
"JSTo," testily said the first speaker,
"declare your sentiments or diel"
"Then I will not die with a lie in my
mouth. American, to extremity Do
your worst you spalpeen The offi
cer replied "We are your friends,
and I rejoice to meet with a man so
faithful to the cause of his country."
The Word "Tory."
This word, according to Defoe, is the
Irish tornigh,. used in the reign of
Queen Elizabeth to signify a band of
Irish robbers. It is formed from the
verb torreighim (to make sudden raids^.
Golius says: "Tory silvestris, montana,
avis, homo, et utrumyue ullushared ibi
est." Whatever inhabits mountains
and forests is a Tory.) Lord Macaulay
says:. "The name was first given to
those who refused to concur in exclud
ing James from the throne.'' He fur
ther says, "The bogs of Ireland af
forded a refuge to popish outlaws, called
Tories."' Tory-hunting was a pastime
which even found place in English nur
sery rhymes—"I went to the woods and
I killed a Tory." F. Crossley gives as
the derivation Taobh righ (Celtic)
"King's party." H. T. Hore, in London

OUR CATHOLIC
i\f
An AMe Sermon By Rey. J. 0. Byrne of
St. Paul's Cathedral on Last
Decoration Day.
THE VALOR OF IRISH CATHOLICS*
The Antagonism of a Certain Glass
"Know Jfothings" to the Oatho
lie Church,
oi
The following is an extract from the
sermon which Rev. J. C. Byrne of St.
Paul's Cathedral, delivered Decoration
day:
Between the years of 1S30 and 18(30
there came into existence in this land
of religious freedom a party whose aim
was to root out all foreigners and whose
motto was to crush the Catholic faith.
In rapid succession the most infamous
calumnies were printed, the most "aw
ful disclosures" were invented to play
on the credulity of those who knew
Catholics only by false report and the
vilest misrepresentation. The move
ment was also carried into the field of
politics, and the hue and cry was raised
by those, whom alone this nation need
fear—sordid demagogues. These are
parodies on the statesmen, the counter
feits of the patriot, having all his look
but not of his val ue, who, to borrow a
well-known but just simile, like a dead
body sink to the bottom, while there is
any soundness in them, but when they
have gathered in all the corruption oi:
the dregs of humanity, they rise as they
rot and polute the social waters around
them. In vain against these did Catho
lics appeal to the constitution—the con
stitution was promised to be amended,
or rather destroyed. In vain were the
words of Washington to Catholics
quoted, "I presume that your Miow
citizons will not forget the patriotic
part which you took in the accomplish
ment of their revolution and the estab
lishment of their Government'•—that
part was in truth forgotten. In vain
were representatives of all Catholic na-
tions shown to be participants in the
T^ohftiuu--- De
Kosciusko, Lafayette—it was useless to
reason with those who were determine
to hear and know nothing. The grej
sacrifice of a Carroll was forgotten, the
bravery of the German and Irish Cath
olics of Pennsylvania weie ignored.
The fertile brain of the demagogues
continued to. unearth new "plots" and
"conspiracies," and thus day by day, a
fresh brand was thrown on the iatal
pile, and all that was required was but
to apply the torch and Catholicity in
America was undone, when suddenly
Divine Providence intervened and the
disaffection of the South called public
attention from the meditated attack on
Catholics to the preservation of the
country itself. Then, when the war
was declared, all for the first time saw
who was faithful to his country and who
was not, who bared his breast to rebel
bullets and who for a few paltry dollars
bought a substitute. A great fact then
became evident (and Americans are
ever open to the logic of acts), that
these so-called "foreigners,'' whose
head was supposed to be in Rome and
whose heart was thought to dwell on
the Rhine, the Rhone or the Shannon,
were head and heart for this, their be
loved land. They came from the East,
the West and the Xorth, they honey
combed the whole Federal forces. JSTay,
more, that same Archbishop of New
York, who had been the rao3t reviled,
was chiefly instrumental in forming
one of the staunchest bodies of men
that ever walked beneath a flag I re
fer to the Irish Brigade. Shoulder to
shoulder, Catholics fought with those
who hated them at home, but who
learned to love them iu the field, and
they fought with a blind ardor and im
petuosity which could well up from
the deepest and purest love of country,
A new revolution then took place as
creditable to American people as it was
beneficial to us. Wherever her children
had toiled for the country and left be
hind them footprints of blood, the
church could march lightly with an
them and hymn unmolested in her
work of salvation. We were no longer
constrained with feeble voice to plead
for indulgence, or to sue for statute
rights, but, standing on the monument
erected by the patriotism of our sol
diers, we could demand their actual en
joyment. Right well was our position
granted. Wherever the soldiers of war
returned they were received with accla
mations of joy as the fathers of their
country, irrespectively of race or re
ligion. A few still clinging to blind
prejudice might still call us "foreign
ers," but the soldier at least who had
mingled his blood with that of his dead
Catholic brother understood that belief
in Catholicity had just about as much
to do with America as belief that there
is a God in heaven. New so-called
"disclosures" might be even more cun
ingly written,
butr ttoer soldier whose
7

wounds had been dressed and whose
feverish temples had been bathed by
the chaste daughters of St.. Vincent de
Paul would certainly not aive them
credit. Thus, this day, standing by the
graves of our soldiers we must remem
ber that as Catholics we owe them a
distinct debt of gratitude.
In the meantime our dead, heroes
have furnished us the criterion of the
true American, for he cannot be called
an American who. th rh Le came
down from signer of the Declaration
of Independence itself, stirs up ill-feel
ing among his fellow-citizens,_ lie can
not be called a citizen wtio, though he
has escaped the foulest despotism
abroad, brings hither his spirit of an
archy and rebellion. Over Use graves
of our dead soldiers, who differed in
race, birth and belief, but who were
one in their love of country, we must
say that whoever America loves he
alone is the American citizen. Xo
tnatier from what land he came, no
matter what chains he may have riven,
no matter for what reason he he pur
sued, or what religion he professes, as
soon as he touches tl'.is soli consecrated
to orderly aud lawful liberty by the
blood of her children, America will
bathe his wounds, vest him with her
rights and raise him to the highest
civil dignity on earth, that of her citi
zenship, if he only promise to love that
order which America loves. May she
long gather to her side and to her de
fence in unbroken harmony the best
elements on earth. May her citizens
have those qualities collectively which
it has taken older nations centuries to
form singly, the brilliancy of the
French, the ardor of the Irish, the
tboughtfulness of the German, and all
those characteristics which adom the
representatives of the greatest, nations
of the world. Thus may the sun, hav
ing traversed his entire course, as he
sinks in the great oceau of the West,
ever illumine with his last rays the first
citizens of the earth. Above all, and
it is the voice of our soldiers which this
day appeals to us from the grave, may
we be endowed with', true, religi
ous, patriotic fire which is the main
spring of courage in war and the palla
4iumo|.integrity in peace.
American Girls Married to Englishmen.
Henry Wuiterson, in Cotuier-Jo'trnul.
Few sights in art or nature can be
more melancholy than that of the
American woman who has married, or
who seeks to marry, a titled English
man. If there be, it is the American
mother who comes abroad and ma
noeuvres for a titled husband for her
daughter, I would have such a mother
whipped at the cart's laii. Ter, all
through English society you' encounter
them, the miserable Anglo-American
wife, the villainous, match-making
American mother, bowing and cring
ing to nobility, no matter how corrupt
and vulgar it may be, and I do assure
you that the basest and coarsest speci
mens of humauity I ever met in decent
company have been titled men.
I do not by any means intend to im
ply in saying this that there are not as
good people among the nobility as
among any other class, though, rela
tively, there are fewer, because in
herited rank and wealth are ever given
to self-indulgence and over apt to seek
unfair advantage, setting laws unto
themselves beyond and above the laws
of God and man. At best a foreign
marriage is a dangerous venture. The
American woman was not born to be
the doll of ad lord, or to herd
with the poor wall-flowers that decor
ate the great house much as the fres
coes which appear upon the ceilings
thereof. She may have been made to
cook and to wash, for she may step
from the kitchen to the drawing room,
and has of ten risen from the wash tub
to the executive mausion.
But she is a peer and not a vassal, and
always a woman, which she is not,
never has been and never can be in
England, or, indeed, in any iand where
feudalism holds its baleful, brutal and
despotic sway over the minds of men
and over the institutions which men
ordained. I would rather follow the
coffin of a daughter of mine to the
grave, and see her laid tenderly away
in
the little old churchyard at home, than
to follow her down the aisle of St.
George's Chapel to see her crowned
with the richest coronet in England.—
The Battle of Bealach Leachta,
The place where this battle was,
fought is generally believed to be near
Slieve Caoin, near Fermoy. Some,,
however, are of the opinion that it- took
place at the hill of Knock Kamhra,
south of Mallow, while others assert
that the vicinity of Macroom was the
scene of the conflict. In this battle,
which took place in 978, Brian Boru
and his son, Murrogh, defeated Moal-
muadh, Prince of Desmond,

slain, besides a number of Desmonians.
