Death of a Catholic Bishop.

The Right Reverend John y. Fitzpatrick
Catholic Bishop of Boston, died at his resi-
dence in that city, on Tuesday morning last
He was born in Boston, Nov. 1, 1912, and re-
ceived his early training in the public schools
of that city, ofwhich he was medal scholar,
His collegiate life was passed in Montreal,
from which city he went to Paris, and was
there ordained Priest in 1910.
He was appointed Coadjutor to Bishop Fen
wick of Boston, and consecrated as such in
1914, and in 1S46, on the death of Bishop Fen
wick, he assumed the Episcopal functions.
He returned from his third visit to Europe
in 1884, with feeble health, and has appeared
but seldom in church since that time In De
cember, 1864, he was Frustrated by severe
attack OF illness, from which he has never
been able entirely to rally. His disease was Of
the head, evincing a tendency to apoplexy,
though his attacks at that time were of pro-
longed bleeding at the nose, which it seemed
impossible to check, and which seemed to
exhaust all his recuperative powers. ia
Bishop Fitzpatrick was finished scholar,
beloved pastor, and much venerated pre-
late. His loss will be deeply felt in the Catllo-
lie Church of America, as well as in the do
cese over which he held ecclesiastical sway.
His obseguies will take place at the Cathedral
Chapel of the Holy Cross, on Friday next, at
10 o'clock, A. M. 54g1 ~

up for this sequestration ON grand scale, the

MUNICIPAL COURT. FEB. Is.

George Harris was brought up for alleged
larceny of City dollars from the person OF Mr.
Frederick Webster.
The story OF Webster is that he went to
Harris place to purchase a pup. That he
made bargain for one at three dollars, and
after he had paid for 1t Harris refused to let
him have the pup or to return the money
During the controversy about the matter,
Websters pocket, in which was a wallet con-
tanning fifty dollars, was cut of. Subsequent
ly the wallet was returned to him, minus the
money. Webster Immediately made his way
to the police Office, and entered complaint.
and Harris was arrested.
Harris attempted, by means of his family
to prove an alibi. But Webster swore posi-
lively that Harris was the robber, and tina
Judge was inclined to believe his story rather
than that set up by the prisoner, aid he Or
dered him to recognize, with sureties, in the
sum of $500 for his appearance at the March
term of the Supreme Judicial Court. He fur

Union not limited indeed to them, but freely extend

regard to uniform or service no longer required

straying. When they declined, on account of
his somewhat damaged reputation, to trust
him in so responsible an Office, he was indig-
nant, and bitterly arraigned them for their
cruelty and want of confidence. These recon-
structed southern rebels are very much in the
same category. The villainous teeth with
which they stroye to tear the Union in pieces
having been knocked out they are hungry for
political power; and they find it hard that the
nation hesitates to entrust to their tender
mercies the helpless and innocent class on
which they have proved so long. We do not
wonder that they find the situation unpleas-
ant, but this is one of the inevitable conse-
quences of bad reputation. The CONCLUSION
to which our Southern contemporary comes Is
thus expressed: r-e 5I
aWhat can we of the South do, then, to bet
ter our political condition? Simply nothing.
We must remain in state OF quiet, and leave
the rest TO that God who is supposed to rule
the destinies of nations. The war of argu-
ments must be fought by the friends of the
constitution and OF the President in the North
and West, and however interesting the con-
test may be to us, we cannot aid him against
to drive the country to deeper depths of ruin. !"
In one sense this conclusion is quite cor
rect; in another it is fallacious. The true
course for those of the South who desire the
speedy rehabilitation of their section is indeed
very different from that they are at present
pursuing. Clamorous protestations ofloyalty,
and angry abuse of those whose duty compels
them to guard carefully the welfare of the
country are no means to advance their cause.
But they have something to do. Let them
prove their loyalty to the government by a
cheerful submission to its authority, not by
holding meetings and passing resolutions to
the effect that its officials are nuisance, and
the presence of its soldiers among them "a
curse and blight to the land"-as the Gov
ernor of Mississippi was recently pleased to
phrase it. Let them show their devotion to
the Union by treating Union men with con-
sideration at least equal to that they accord
to rebels. Let them display their regard for
law and order by protecting the rights of
Northern men among them; their love of free
dom by respecting the freedom of speech and
of the press; and their fitness for power by an
exhibition OF some intention to do justice to
the colored race. In short if they wonld have
their repentance believed in let them bring
forth works meet for repentance. Homilies
on the beauty Of magnanimity and the duty of
Christian brotherhood and kindness come with
little grace from their lips, but whenever their
acts shall afford some exhibition of those vir-
tues they will find the loyal part of the .coun-
try as eager to welcome them back to the fold,
as they are to return to it. But until they can
bring themselyee to some actual demunstra-
OF the sincerity of their professions they have
no right to complain of a state OF things for
which no one is to blame but themselves.
