On Saturday last party of forty Texas cay

We need not saY how sorely We regret this

We had Just received such assurances Of the
strength Of V1ckebnrg as to have given us
considerable confidence in its safety. We

1t is now manifest that the assurances we

that comes from that quarter, we're without
foundation. Indeed, Instead Of the ample

could do nothing but capitu1ate. Tho favor

The n. r. Riot and the Catho-
lie Churches.

1fC ChuECheS.
There were various sermons preached In
the Catholic Churches In New York on Sun
day, bearing upon the terrible scenes Of the
week. That preached 1T st. Ma.y's Is thus
alluded to:
At the first and second mass In st. Mary's
Church, Father DAILY made excellent dis
courses, and, by direction Of tue Bishop,
counseled the congregation to abstain in fu-
ture from street gathering, and endeavor to
keep the peace, BE spoke with much feeling
the colored people, and appealed to the
audience to project these helpless people
whenever possible.
At high mass crowded assemblage listen
ed to Father o Fallen, who, after opening his
discourse, alluded to the dreadful disturb
ances Of the past week, and Of the numbers
who had been swept down by the iron hail in
the streets, whether right or wrong. he de-
nounced revolution as subversiye Of human
ity, Christianity, and tho church, and against
God. History, he eaid, furnishes no instauce
where revolution has proved beneficial to the
church or humanity, and the head Of the
church has been frequently threatened by re-
firmly set s face.. The LAW, he said, will be
maintained.
He denounced the expression Of 4 celebra-
ted Irish hero, who claimed to be Catholic,
aud has said, % Il the altar stand In the way
OF 1erolution. then perish the altar" !" aud de-
He denied that any Of those who had taken
part In plundering apd destroying property
were Catholics, and -said that tho church
should not be aspersed for their deeds.
He solefnly proclaimed from the sacred a.
tar that none who were in the mob could Re-
ccire the sacrament of the church, nor even
at death could they receive absolption OF the
church, until repentance, nor would repent
