Me FIRER:ETON TRAORDT.—The prisoner was
brought up on Saturday and remanded for eight days. Ac-
counts from the Josue of the tragedy up to Saturday, 5.30
p.m., represent the father and mother of the prisoner as
still in a very precarious state. The old lady (who is 75
years of age) has received such a shock to the system ea
to endanger her life, irrespective of the gun-shot wounds
she has received. The old man is frequently heard to say
that he freely forgives the would be murderer.
THE CATHOLIC PHIERIAND AMERICAN SLAVERY.
At the outbreak of the rebellion, Broenson's Quarterly
Review was almost the only advocate of an anti-slavery po-
licy among all the catholic journals. The great majority of
them were violently opposing every anti-slavery measure of
the government, and acting in concert with the ultra-peace
faction of the Northern democracy. But the progress of
the war has wrought among them several conversions.
The Cinrinnati Telegraph, the org►n of Arch-
bishop Purcell, was the first to come over to
the anti-slavery party, and to admit and even to
urge the necessity of abolishing slavery throughout the
United States. Its example has recently been followed by
the Universe, the catholic paper of Philadelphia, hitherto
violent democratic and anti-administration sheet. In a late
issue, this paper admits that the peace of the republic de-
mands the abolition of slavery ; th►t the national cut rent
in favour of abolition grow, steadily stronger, and has be.
come irresistible ; and that it would be aboard to attemptlto
oppose it. It therefore gives to the Irish democrats the
sensible advice to acce►t cheerfully what they are unable
to undo. We note the conversions as signs of the times.—
