can learn, II has omanated from aud
been persistently urged on the military
authorities o. Rene by some party or
parties who have assumed TO represent
us, not only without our sanction or au-
thority, but even without our knowledge;
and what renders this the more remark
able, is the fact. that this gentleman who
has succeeded in securing for himself,
in advance, the appointment Of Lieu
tenant Colonel. TO have command OF the
proposed battalion, is one whom we feel
bound to say does not enjoy, and is not
entitled to enjoy, our confidence, espe'
cially in position Of so high response
biliiy and trust. IL he has found en-
couragement and support from one or
two journals edited by Catholic laymen
which have given place to his ill.advised
correspondence. this does not strengthen
his claims, inasmuch as the journals
referred TO are not to be recognized as
reliable exponents Of Catholic views or
sentiments, still less as discreet or com
mendable advocates of the Catholic
cause. Besides, the project as proposed,
with the conditions which are annexed
to it, cannot in our judgment be sue
cessfully carried out, and any attempts
TO do so would, we apprehend, instead Of
serving the canse of cur venerable and
beloved Holy Father, prove detrimental
to it.
1t is not necessary to enter into further
details; it will be enough to add that we
still have reason to know that pecuniary
aid is more needed at this moment than
military aid, and will be more acceptable
from us. We shall continue, therefore,
as hitherto, to urge our generous Catho-
lie children TO contribute abundantly,
according to their means, for the sup
port of our common faith, who will en-
ploy their offerings in such manner as
may TO him seem best, not doubling that,
by our so doing, we will meet his warm
approval and merit his apostolic bene-
diction.

The Battalion for the Pope

From the New York Table. July4.l
The publication in the newspapers Of
a circular from Rome, TO the effect that
the Holy Father had consented to accept
the services Of battalion of one thou
sand men, to be raised in the United
States, on condition that the said men
shall be carefully chosen, and be equipped
and supported for three years by the
Catholics of these States, seems 10 call
for some official notice from the Prelates
to whom the circular is exclusively sd-
dressed, and to whose discretion, as
guardians Of the interests of the church
in this country, the subject is committed.
/ For this reason and for the purpose, at
the same time, Of satisfying Inquiries
which have reached us from various
quarters, We deem it proper thus publicly
10 define our position with reference to
a matter Of so much importance; and in
so doing we have the best reasons for
knowing that we do but speak not sloue

venerable brethren in the Episcopacy

The Women in the Field.

From the Revolution, July l.l
Having devoted ourselves to the study
of platforms for some weeks, we have
come to the conclusion that man has
made as signal failure in this direction
as he ever has in the ant of government.
And as we are identified, it seems, in the
public mind with Tammany Hall Demo
Gratis, we feel some responsibility for the
success of the coming Convention
Knowing that in the nature of things
man can have but half an idea, we fear
cur Democratic brethren will repeat the
hlunder Of Chicago. To save the nation
from such calamity, the Woman's SUI
frage Association of America present the
following platform:
While legislation has hitherto aimed to
secure all men the enjoyment of the ina
lienable right of suffrage, and as sex IS
the most odious aud unnatural OF all
forms of aristocracy and most dangerous
to the State, we demand the recognition
of women in the reconstruction, that
wealth, virtue and education may out
weigh the incoming tide Of pauperism,
Ignorance and crime that threatens our
very existence as a nation.
As this government was formed by a
compact between the several States, and
the tendency of power, whether in the
individual or the Government, is 10 sell
arprandizement and usurpatiou, in case
OF any difficulty arising between the
State aud Federal Government as TO the
extent, abuse or usurpation Of power

Federal power to interfere Tor the pro
lection Of the liberties OF all citizens

Particulars of the Mortonsvillo TRACED


Particulars of the Mortonsville Tragedy.
A correspondent of the Lexington
Gazette gives the following particulars of
the late fatal af'ray at Mortonsville,
Woodford county:
A tlial Of j. Warren Lillard was had
before an examining court on Saturday,
which resulted in his discharge, the court
being of opinion that he was justified in
killing Campbell. The facts developed
were substantially as follows: A feud
which had its origin many years ago,
resulted in an encounter in 1860 between
the parties, in which pistols were freely
used, J. W. Lillard being wounded by
one of the Canpbells in the shoulder.
Since that time Thomas Campbell, who
was proven to have been bold man,
reckless, dangerous and inflexible in the
execution of his purposes, had repeat
edly threatened to kill, whenever the op-
portunity presented itself, j. w. Lillard,
his brother and father. But few days
before Campbell was killed, these threats
we're repeated TO neighbors of Lillard,
who communicated them to him, at the
same time warning him to be on his
guard, that they believed the threats
would be executed.
Campbell, on Wednesday evening last,
went to Mortonsvillc heavily armed. On
the following morning Lillard, as has
been his custom for years, went to that
place and stepped into store, beside
the door of which Campbell was sitting,
where he e. remained a short time,
and, in attempting TO pass, Campbell
ran his hands behind him as if to draw
weapon, at the same time rising from
bis seat, while Lillard caught him and
cut his throat with penkniie with which
he was whiting, causing instant death.
The brother of Lillard seeing the diff
6culty, fred two shots at Campbell, both
of which took effect The circumstances
Immediately attending the killing were
proven by the Commonwealth-ihe wit
ness being q gentleman, and the only

Platform Of tho Tennessee Democracy.

|. The Conservative men Of Tennessee, put
ting aside all questions decided by the war, n y
cept the title of Democrats" and formally
unite themselves with the Democratic party as
il now exists.
2. The question of the right of State to se-
cede from the Union has been decided by arms,
and that decision should be accepted as final
and conclusive.
8. Nevertheless. while theConstitution makes
the Federal Government supreme, IL is so only
with well defined limitations and restrictions,
leaving the States large rights and powers over
their domestic concerns. and making them 90
equal in respect Of such rights; and these
rights have not been impaired by the result of
the war, or the powers of the General Govern
ment aggrandized by it, to the enlargement
of public liberty.
4. The extinguishmeDt Of African slavery is
recognized as fact, ratified by binding con-
stitutional amendment.
5. The investture Of negroes with the right
of suffrage, by the Congress of the United
States, and the disfranchisement of white
men, by the same authority, is q gross usurpa.
ton OF power, and policy unjust, unwise and
oppressive. and tending to excite war, Of
races the white men of America are entitled
to superiority and supremacy in the admins
tration of the Federal and State Governments;
and any measure intended to deprive them of
It. or to divide or impair it, greatly endan gers
the perpetuity of free republican Institutions.
6. The faith of the nation il pledged TO the
payment of the national debt according to the
terms of the laws under which the bonds were
issued. and not otherwise. The time of pay
ment of the bonds ought not TO be exten ded I;
the principal of the Five-twenty bonds ought
to bc paid in currency, and the money gran ted
to the national banks to be Withdrawn,
7. The Government bonds should be taxed in
the hands of the bondholdcrs. equally with
other property
The docti ICES and practices of the Radical
party, which endeavors, by encroaehing upon
the powers of the Executive and Judicial
branches of the Government, to absorb in the
Legislative Department all powers, tend to the
destruction of the republican system of gov
eminent and the civil liberties of the people.
8. Equal and exact justice to all pen, of

litical peace. commerce and honest friend
