will probably run many years. They
are az thoroughly guaranteed rs any

FATHER HYAcINTHE.-The Tribnne of
the 18th publishes two letters from the
Superior of the Carmilites, addressed to
the recusant and scismatic IIyacinth",
but they fail to indicate, says the Tribune,
the precise character Of the uttcrances
by which the eloqucnt preacher incurred
the displeasures of his order, but they
leave no doubt of his present attitude
toward the Church of which he has been
such distinguished member. 1t seems
that there has been no actual interference
with his preaching, and 10 formal com
/ plant that in the pulpit at any ratio he
was at all heterodox. But he has re-
peatedly been found fault with during
the past five years for letters, addresses,
dc, to political and other clubs, and us
rcmonstrance seems to have had no ef-
feet, the General of the Carmclitcs at
last forbade him to publish any letters
or discourses, to deliver any address OK
ccpt in church, or 20 take part in any
meeting not strictly religious and Catho.
lie. 1t was on receipt OF this order that
Father Hyacinthe determined to leave
the convent, aud wrote the letter which
has caused so much stir. OF course VIC
do not question his declaration that con
scencc would not allow him to keep
silence, nor do We suppose it is quite
true that the liberal tendency OF hi.
preaching was entirely satisfactory to
the powers at Rome. Still he is n man
in full possession of his faculties, and
must therefore see the logical conse
quence of the step he has taken. The
sentence Of the Church upon a monk
who breaks his VOWS is swift and sharp
Father Hyacinthe cannot expect to re-
concile his present attitude with the call
ing Of Roman Catholic priest. Ex
communication is not threatened; it j.
already ipso .facto incurred. Rome re
cognizes him no longer, and we may re
ceive him at once as n Protestant. Sucl
he is, in fact, though he may not yc
avow the title.

IMPERIALISM UNvEILED.-It is, per-
haps, cruel to twit the Democrats with
unpleasant facts in this, the hour of their
defeat, bat we cannot help remarking
that recent developments show that the
lately famous organ of the T. G. ]. o.
league, "1he L1peridlist," was princi-
pally sustained by Democratic subscrip-
tions. A writer in the GGldry, for
whom the editor vouches, asserts that
the Tammany Ring, finding that it was
making good thing ont Of charging
the publication of "We Znpcridlist"
upon the Radicals, helped it with large
subsidies of money; and when it found
that this audacious paper was about to
succumb, as it since has succumbed, un-
der the weight of universal obloquy.
Tammany made an offer of one hundred
dollars week to sustain the concern.
Several prominent Democrats gave it
money on their own account, and one
who was the very loudest in dcnouncing
the Il. &. /. o. as a Radical society, was
a heavy contributor TO tho project! On
no occasion, it is said, did Republican
contribute to support this revolutionary
journal. If anything could justify peo-
pie in trying to overthrow democracy
and establish imperialism in this country,
it would be this revelation of the utter
recklessness OF the leaders OF one of the
great parties of the country, as to its
means of success.
