The Star Of Thursday has the following spe-
cimen of composition in its comments on the
opposition to the Judiciary bill;
1t is evident, from this, that the apple of dis
cord has been thrown in our midst, and, unless
nipped in the bud it threatens to burst forth into
a conAagraton that will deluge the whole land"
A full-grown apple to be nipped in the bud,
and, if not, te kindle confagration that will
deluge the whole country Heavens VIA!
an applet 1t should be exhibited at the next
agricultural fair, with an engine stationed on
one side Of it to prevent the confagration, and
an ark on the other, to save those who are in
danger Of being overwhelmed by the deluge!

The Declaration of Independence--Wher
IL was Written.

We find the following in the Philadelphia Ledger
Of the 2sth:
{" 1t has beeu stated that the Declaration of In
dependence was written by Thomas Jefferson, in
the old building, corner of Fifth and Minor streets
known as Jefferson Wigwam, recently destroyed
by FIRE. Other places have also been named, but
the following letter from Mr.. Jefferson to Dr.
Mease Of this city, would indicate that that instru
ment was written in the building, still standing at
the southwest corner of Seventh and Market
Streets"
MoSncELLo, Sept. lG, 1895.
DEAR Sin: 1t is not for me to estimate the inn
portance of the circumstances concerning which
your letter Of the 9Th makes inquiry. They prove,
even IN their mnuteness, the sacred attachment OF
our citizens to the eveut Of which the paper
of July 4, 1915 was but the declaration, the gen.
nine effusion Of the soul Of our country at that
time. Small things may perhaps, like the relics
Of saints help to nourish devotion to this holy
bond Of our union, and keep It longer alive and
warm In our affections.
This effect may give importance to the circum-
stance, however small At the time Of writing
that instrument, lodged in the house Of Mr..
Graf, new brick house, three stories high, Of
which rented the second floor, consisting Of a
parlor and bedroom, ready furnished. In that
parlor wrote habitualy, and in II wrote this pa
per particularly. So far, ] state from written
proofs in my possession. The proprietor, Graf,
was young man, son of German, and then new
" married. l think he was a brck-layer, and that
his house was on the south side of Market street.
probably between Seventh and Eighth streets, and
If not the only house that part Of the street,
am sure there were few others near IL. have
some idea that II was a corner house, but no other
recollections throwing any light on the question,
or worth communication. l will, therefore, only
add assurance Of my great respect and esteem.
Tn. JEFFERSON.

Ecclesiastical physiology is a science we never
studied, and we shall offer no remarks upon the
question ofthe Immaculate conception" We
0don't know" whether the Pope and his Bish-
ops have decided that question right or wrong,
and we suppose the Pope and his council know
just as much as we know ON that point, and that
in truth, they care just as little as any body
else, whether they were right or wrong In
their opinions. 1t is enough that they have
announced their decree in the premises, and
now the whole world and "the rest Of man
kind" must believe what they are commanded
to believe, or be externally lost II is Of no
consequence what man may really think, he
must swear by the Pope's DEGREES, and believe
what he is ordered to believe, or be--damnedl
Well, after nearly 1900 years of uncertainty,
touching the question just decided, it was GER
tainly high time il should be decided If neces-
sary eper to be decided We suppose all the
testimony in the cease had been collected,
which was obtainable, and that there was no
cause for further delay, therefore we are glad
the dispute has terminated But it has oc-
Cured to us, that if 1t was important to estab-
fish the immaculate conception'of the mother
Of our Saviour, it is equally important to ascer-
tan and establish the immaculate conception"
Of his grandmother and great grandmother also.
Why mott All Christians properly admit and
maintain the spotless purity Of Christ himself,
and we do not see any propriety in going be-
yond that point unless It be, to show that he
descended from pure and immaculate stock !;
and in this view of the question, the investiga-
ton must be extended upwards to the fountain
head! Probably within the next one hundred
years, as this is the age of progress some flu
ture Pope may decree that it shall be cardi-
nal point Of Catholic faith, to believe that oil the
progenitors Of our Saviour were also pure and
sinless, and thus, as the whole human race have
descended from Adam and Eve, there is no GER
tainty that it may not finally be decreed that
they too were sinless We suppose that in
such an event the Pope would be pleased to
favor the world with a new Biblel

The following is comparative statement Of the

the reign Of James ], in 1908, the famous gun
powder plot was contrived, by which they expected
to blow up the king, the royal family and house Of
parliament
Even the prosecuting Louis XIV, of France,
stood in dread Of tho dirk or poinard Of the Je-
suits.
During the year previous to the gunpowder
plot" James had expelled them from England ;
but IL not until the latter half of the eighteenth
century that other European sovereigns awoke to
the dangers Of permitting in their domnions men
holding such principles as the Jesuits. Their in.
huence in political matters gradually became known
to the various governments and one after another
expelled them from their dominions as pest and
a plague" In 1859 they we're expelled from Por-
tugal; the year later, the French parliament de-
clared that such body, having peculiar laws and
all the sworn subjects OF one individual residing
in Rome, was dangerous TO the State. Three years
king Of the Two sicilies, and the duke Of Parma
suppressed the order in their dominions.
Finally, Pope Ganganela, or Clement XIV, Is
sued bull, dated July 81, 1878, by which the or
der was abolished, and its members relieved from
their vo-s This was the triumph Of the evangel-
ical portion Of the Church, who had been agtat-
ing the question for seventy years. Pope Clement
XIV was four years examining into the history,
acts, and charges against the order. II was no
easy task. He communicated freely with various
ecclesisstics Of the Church. He searched care
fully the archives Of the Propaganda for the
documents concerning their missions and purpo.
