Religious Freedom IN New York-y
Case of Mary Ann Smith.
From the New York Post, July lllh

From the New York Post, July 18th;
The. following facts we're proved In
one of our courts yesterday: A girl OF
sixteen or seventeen years of age, who
lived as domestic with private
family in Newark, New Jersey, wassTe-
Gently taken by her father, against her
will, and lodged in the house OF the
Good Shepherd, in this city, a Roman
Catholic house of Refuge for fallen
women. This girl has no mother. Eer
father brought her up In the Catholic
faith; but she has become ptous and
exemplary Methodist. There Is 40
doubt she was living a life without re-
proach at the time OF her arrest. She
was taken before Judge Sutherland at
the Supreme Court Chambers, yester-
day, on a writ of hubcuS corpus ed
dressed 10 the keepers of The
house In which she was de-
tanned. Their claim to her custody
was under the authority OF her
father, who appeared in person, and In
a coarse and profane way attempted 10
break down his daughters character
He brought witnesses, decidedly the re-
verse OF prepossessing in appearance,
to testify 10 heI shame and their own.
But the effort to destroy her character
utterly. failed.
Judge Sutherland spoke Of the case
with great hesitation, and plainly adj
n1itted that he had serious doubts
whether he was doing right; but not
being satisfied that the facts justified
him In taking the child from her faith
er's custody, he gave her back TO the
"House of the Good Shepherd 1t
was shown on the trial that this House
is to her prison, In which other pun
ishment is inflicted than confinement;
and 1t is TO be feared that the applica-
ton of this Protestant girl for personal
freedom, and protection by law of her
conscience against violence, Will not
improve her situation there.

1cRl ReSGlLBs
Without acknowledging that they are
ashamed of their great success, that
they repent of their adhesion to the
great principles on which they conduct
ed the recent war, the American peo-
pie cannot support party opposed to
that war, and whose success would be
a signal for the abandonment of the
moral and political advantages gained
to the nation by the war. 1t is in yir-
tue OF the war that we stand as we do
In the eyes of foreign nations. One OF
lis great effects was TO aggrandize our
fame abroad, to show us In our
true proportions before those who
thought us Insignificant brawl-
ers, and to make us known as the
leaders of ofthought-the very head and
front of progress to all the peoples.
In this blaze of active struggle This
concentration OF our life that was
crammed into the four years OF war, we
have become as an example to all the
nations as people devoted to freedom, !,
enlightenment, progress; and we must
not belle that impression by going
backwards. We must not say we are
sorry for the great things we did oy
giving our suffrages to a party that
would have prevented us from doing
them, Through the political sequences
of The war we must adhere to the great
leader who guided us safely through
the struggle, and help him still to keep
the country right and keep down those
violent political elements that would
swerve US from the direct pain 10 one
side or the other. We must stand py
Grant as the best hope Of the nations
safety and the only guarantee thSt We
