HARTFORD, Ct, Nov. ls.-There is a
great stir in this city today, in reference
10 the interment of the remains of Father
=, Brady, late Pastor of the Catholic congre-
CATION here, and who died on Thusday
evening Of cholera. The Roman Catholic
Bishop refused to allow the remains to be
inferred near the church, or with Catholic
rites. 1t appears that, in consequence of
some difficulty, the Bishop had recently
suspended Father Brady, and the treat
ment the latter received, it is alleged by
many, induced the illness which termina-
ted in his death. The most of the people,
Of all sccts, espoused the cause Of
the deceased, and dug a grave for the
remains, which the Bishop caused to be
filled up. The grave was again opened this
morning, and, despite the opposition of the
the Bishop, the funeral ceremonies were
carried through, including the Mass, &c.

A fine incident is related of lad who
standing in the crowd the other day, wit.
Messing the burning Of the Tunnel bridge
on the Baltimore & Susqehanna Railroad,
was the only one who had presence Of mind
enough to remember that the express pas
sengcr train would in few minutes be
due from York, and must, il not arrested,
make the fearful plunge upon the rocks
beneath. He started off at full speed, me,
the train, stood upon the track at the risk
Of his life, and with both hands raised
succeeded in stopping the cars just in time
to save them from the otherwise inevitable
destruction. The passengers, it is said,
literally rewarded the boy, and the Dircc-
tors appropriated one hundred dollars. The
boys name is Eli Rheem.

i" TREASON AGAINST HUMAN HOPE"

When the Missouri question pending in 1920, Mr.
Jeersons ongehershed confidence in the permanence of
TIE federal Union gave way and under the most gloomy
apprehenson to the future he characterized he coinci
dence of marked principle, moral and political with
geographical line TREASON AGAINST HUMAN HOPE 1t
should be remembered that the question them as now in
voved the right of State to demand admission into the
Union with domestic institutions of its own choice. That
right denied then, as it is now, upon marked prn-
ciple moral and politica; and when 20 geographical
Tine resored to substitute for the provisions of
the constitution, Mr. Jefferson feared that this marked
principle would more be obliterated from the
mind; that 1t would be recurring on every occa-
sion, and renewing rritaons until 1t would kindie
such mutual and mortal hatred AS TO render separa-
ton preferable to eternal discord The principle of the
Compromise Of 1850 and of the Nebraska act obheraed
the geographical line and restored the true principles of
the constitution Mr. Jefferson feared that this could never
be effected In such result he the only hope for the
Union. He saw, did John Taylor, that as long as a
geographical line Stood there could be enduring ater
nifty and state of constant discord he admitted that
separation would be preferable The propositions now
pending for the rernarkng of that fatal line and for the
rejection from the Union of any slave State iden

which Mr. Jefferson denounced "heason against human
