follow the non concurrence Of the Senate
in Mr. Stanton's suspension, or, should he

fact only that needs be stated, that at the
date Of this conversation you did not in.

forcing Mr.. Stanton into court, but did

that course from being carried out. In
other words, you said to the President. that

you make, in subsequent paragraph of
that letter of the 2Slh ult., that afterwards
you changed your views as to what would

The point is, that before you changed your

MCCARTHY MORE; OR, THE FORTUNES OF
AN IRISH Cn4xF. By Mrs. j. Sadlier.-This is
a tale of the sixteenth century, having for its
hero o man remarkably endowed both in his
mental capacity and bodily accomplishments
The real character of MacCarthy More Is some
what q matter of dispute-some looking upon
him as fawning sycophant to the English
court; o betrayer of his country and kind;
q dark plotter for selfish purposes. Others
excuse these external evidences Of loyalty, as
they conceive them to be mere pretexts, under
cover of which he sought the better to serve
his country. It is but too evident, however,
that his own private interests were paramount
to every consideration of patriotism or princi-
pie The fair authoress has endeavored to pal
late or excuse his shortcomings, and he ap-
pears to more advantage in her narrative than
the candid student of history would willingly
sanction. Mrs. 9. does not pretend to histori-
cal accuracy in her delineations-they are mel

works, this last is pleasingly written, and can
not fail to prove attractive to admirers of IFisk

Additional intelligence from the scene
of the late earthquake Is received. In
Quito the stencil arising from the unburied
bodies is horrible. Pil1aging was going on
in AFRICA and Arequipa, Peru. The artii-

the people, who accuse them of robbery.

people were still being dug out of the ruins
alive, one poor fellow among them having
been entombed for six days alongside OF
his wife's corpse. One haciendado writes
that from the 18th of August to the 18TH ne
were destroyed. He states that the bills
and the wales were thrown up in immense
quantities. The rocks were hurled about
like 30 many cocos, and such was the ter:
ror inspired by the scene, that all imagined
the day of Judgment to have come.

The Chicago Evening Post may not be
very respectable paper in its tore OF It's
methods, but it is respectable in its amount
of influence, and in the number of voters
whom it represents. The opinions Of the
Post are not worth quoting as opinions,
neither are its arguments worthy OF the
name. Bot its opinions are facts, and as
such may challenge attention.
It is fact, then, of the day, and rather
q significant one, that the Chicago Post is
of opinion that Catholicity is antagonistic
to Republication in its general sense, and
| that there must be final trial 6" ths
countryn between the two. Speaking Of
itself the Post says:
That it looks over and beyond the squa4sD.lses s
of oday to the final trial in this country Of the
strength of Despotism, as represented Dy ts
ssronSest defender, Catholicism, and Human
R sssI IDEA Of the equality, before God
and the Law of all mankind!
Here is the contest. Error is always
beaten in an honest trial with truth, and
always has recourse to false issues to main
n tain its footing. Professionalism is fairly
beaten in this country, as throughout Eu-
9 rope, in the Theological arena. 1t changes
8 the issue and arraigns its opponent be-
y fore the civil tribunal. 1t retreats from
&, the frontier of theology to the ramparts O
Z politics, and fleeing from lost field, take
t. refuge under the national banner, claiming
1t it's protection as against common foe. i
10 appeals from God to man, and from man
al own conscience to his prejudices. 1t says
be Catholicism is more system of statecra
if than an embodiment of theological tenets.
ey Our object is not to controvert this state
ire ment, for it is mere bald assertion. I'll
q argument in support of it is, as we hay
lat promised, not worthy of the name. w
ate merely cite the assertion of this do
trine as fact, going to show change
ity front-a good indication that the issue
lis, changed, or is rapidly changing. The re
i've issue of dogma must yield to false issues
@ a alleged fact. The war has passed from ID
My pulpit to the stump, from the lPondero
fix tome to the newspaper column, and t
be standard passes from the hand OF the prize
hat to that of the editor.

The Orphans entertainment.

Next Thursday evening, ate the Opera
House, takes place an event Of great Inn
portance to very interesting class Of our
community. Poor little orphansi no father,
no mother! Who will take care Of them
Who win give them bread, and clothing
and shelter The good Sisters are nearly as
helpless as themselves. Can they support
such family Must they disband their
beloved charge, and send the little ones
abroad into the street, The tears that
would fall, in such an event, the terror
that would seize upon young hearts, the
premature care that would plant its
lines and shadows on young faces, would
bring no blessing on the great city. There
ia One who sees and remembers.
| There is another class, too, interested
the young, the gay, the happy. They love
amusement, laughter, music, lights, deco
rations, beauty. If they go, let them
remember that their joy win echo, family,
indeed, but pleasantly, in other hearts not
so blessed with the worlds gifts. If they
hesitate, let sympathy add its tones to the
pleasures which invite them, and while pleas
ing themselves, let them 60 for the sake o
others. One gay evening for tho gay viii

pie unless by their own consent, express or
implied. IF the Legislature should appoint
a man or body Of men to govern munich
pal corporations Independently Of the con-
cent of its citizens, Those citizens might re-
sist the payment Of taxes Laid By such men,
for through their instrunaentality the Legis
lature would be indirectly levying tax
which it could not impose directly. All
this is based on the principle that taxation
must be uniform, else the moro powerfuli
portion Of State might grind the weaker
section to poverty by taxes while exempting
itself. s@.ae
The State, therefore, cannot dictate the
administration Of moneys which it may au-
thorize local corporations to raise, but must
leave the free disposal thereof to the fnan-
cial discretion Of the corporations. 9i2siI
The State may, however, for public con-
venience and policy, require mortgages TO
be recorded in one Office, advertisements TO
be made in one paper, etc., on pain OF null
lity, and can fix reasonable compensation
for such services. But can it authorize ex-
horbitant charges therefor -, This IL the
second question we proposed.

, lature to be able to authorize the demand,
: by such employees, of more than fair com
