dignity and propriety with which so many
great men have surrounded the highest
Office in the nation.
In secrecy and to foreign State the Presi-
dent has pledged his word to coerce as best
he may the representatives of the people
whose servant he is. In secrecy and to a
foreign State he has pledged himself to make
no communication to Congress concerning
public measure of the highest Importance
until satisfied that the measure will be sue
cessful. The people cannot forget these
things. They are so many blows struck at
the integrity and even the existence of free
government and republican institutions, and
blows of such character that free nation
cannot survive many of them. The terrible
devastations of war were not more dangerous
to us as a people than is the spirit manifested
in these acts of the administration; and it is
sad to think that he who did so much to free
us from the evils of war should so soon
bring upon us these dark forebodings of
deeper ill.

THE PRESIDENT CONsPIRING AGAINST
CONGRESS.

from tHe ". Il sun.
The mistakes of Grants administration
they were merely mistakes and nothing more
have been numerous enough; but now the
acts purporting to be done through the au-
thority of the Executive are beginning to
assume the appearance of crimes. The people
do not want another impeachment trial; but
the official correspondence in regard to st.
Domingo suggests something more than the
possibility of one.
Novel indeed, in the history of our
country, is this latest act on the part of
the President. He has entered into secret
compact with foreign power to coerce, to
the extent of his ability, the action of
coordinate branch of the Government, to
accomplish that which the foreign power
desires This agreement is no longer secret;
but it was meant to be so. AS the protocol
says
'Hs Excellency General Grant, President of the
United states promises privately to use all his innu
ence IN order that the idea OF anneXing the Domni-
can Republic to the United States may acquire such
degree OF popularity among members OF Congress
as Will be necessary FOR its accomplishments and he
offers to make no Communication to that body on
the subject until he shall be certain that it viii be
approved by majority"
the natives of st. Domingo should know of
the promise? Was it to satisfy the repre-
sentatives of that republic in any way? Or
was it to guard against the knowledge of the
millions of citizens of the United States to
whom the newspapers and the telegraph bore
the news of this private promise on Sunday
and Monday.
But how plainly this st. Domingo agree
ment shows the nature of the project to assist
which it was made Its very secrecy is the
severest commentary on the character of the
negotiation which the Senate is now asked to
approve. There is that about it which makes
its discussion more appropriate in the Sc
cluded parlor of the scheming diplomat than
in the free air of a representative assembly
1t cannot bear the light Its success must
depend upon the influence of the Presidents
and who does not know that this word infiu-
ence is used in this agreement with mean
ing that comprehends far too much to be
honorable?
Never before has President of the United
States been so lacking in self-respect as to
authorize an act like this. There have been
instances in the worlds history where official
position has bestowed something of the dig
nifty attached to it in popular estimation
upon the incumbent of the Office; so that it
would seem he must needs be somewhat
worthier than before he attained it, by force
of the associations clinging about his place.
1t seems not to be SO here; and the President
is restrained by none Of those traditions of

| ANOTHER RUSSIAN CoNFEssoR.-we read

| follows: elm consequence of the conduct o.
Borowski, Catholic Bislop of the diocese OF
Cuck and Syton,ir, which has been con-
stantly contrary to the orders of the Gov
eminent, and especially in consequence of
his inexorable refusal to take the necessary
measures for putting into execution the Inn
perial edict of December 25, 1860, relating
to the introduction of the Russian language
into the Catholic liturgy and sermons, the
Government finds itself compelled to sus-
pend the said Bishop Borowski from his
episcopal functions and to conf ne him within
the city Of Perm, Western Siberia" Mgr.
Gaspard Borowski (says Les Missioms Ca
tholiques, of Lyons,) the last martyr to re-
ligious persecution in Russia, was born on
January 10, 1902; he was preconized Bishop
of Luck and Jytomir July 3, 1854. 1t was
to Perm that Mgr. Kalinski, Bishop of the
United Greeks Of Chelm, was sent; he died
on his arrival. 1t was to Perm that, in the
month Of June, 1869, they were conveying
Mgr. Lubienski, Bishop of Augustowo,
when he died at Nijny-Novgorod. In was
to Perm that, year ago, Mgr. Majerczak,
Bishop of Kielce, was Committed.

DEFENCE OF THE ZoUAvEs.-We are
pleased to observe that the violent attacks
in the London press upon those who have
gone from many lands to fight under the
banner of the Pope have not been allowed
to pass without reply. In the Pope's army
are Englishmen, Irishmen, Scotchmen,
Americans and representatives of other
countries, and they have been denounced
as mercenaries. and fanatics. A lady who
writes in the London Daily Isleqraph
makes the following excellent remarks:
A considerable n! number of English gentle
men, chiefly belonging to our old Catholic
families, are serving in the Papal Zouaves,
the greater number merely as private SOL
dlers; you will therefore understand and
excuse the indignation their relatives,
friends and co-religionists must feel at the
body to which they belong being stigma
tized as mercenaries whom fanatacism
and gold allured to the Pontifical stand
ard" AS an English lady and Catholic
appear to your generosity to allow me to
wipe OF the slur cast on those whose de-
votion and self-sacrlfice are SO very dear to
our hearts. Believe me no charge could
be more thoroughly without foundation.
There is no couleur de rose for the Papal
volunteers no bounty, no hope of fame,
the pay is the merest pittance, and perhaps
the end of all a nameless grave. Let pre-
JUDGE stand aside and give way to the
respect every generous Englishman must
yield to those who are capable of such self
devotion. I could relate many q touching
incident of sacrifice made to espouse a cause
hated by the world, without the excitement
Of applause or the hope of earthly glory.
What 1 say of English Zouaves I intend
equally for those in other countries of Eu-
rope as we'll as in America. AS to the sec
ond charge of fanatacism, if personal deVo-
tion to the Sovereign Pontiff and fidelity to
his cause, enkindled by the highest reiigi-
GUS motives, be indeed fanaticism, may
freely plead guilty to the charge made |
against those faithful soldiers.

THE CoNTRAsr.-A correspondent of the
London Daily Telegraph writing from
Boualon, compares the working of "a pre.
tentious organization called the "Interna.
tional Society for aiding the Wounded >
with the effective management of the Sis.
tiers of Charity, thus:
To-day, as three special correspondents
Of English papers, and one Englishman
who represents the leading New York pa
per, were breakfasting together, some
begged them to write and make known to
their several employers how back wards the
ambulances of the International Society
were in their work-or rather how entirety
they seem to think that the end and aim
OF their business out here is to travel from
Town to town, and talk about the work be-
fore them. French and Prussian military
men agree in this. In no single military
ambulance have any of these amateur med
lcal assistants taken off their coat - 80 to
speak, and gone to work like men at what
they engaged to do. The Sisters of Charity.
whether French or German, are, as usual,
all that can be desired. What wonderful
women these are! They indeed do and
talk not. What would urge through your
columns that the international Society
should do is to try and organize here in
Belgium, or in France, something like
practical, useful hospitals, and to keep ont
OF these establishments every person who
comes to help as an amateur. Send out, if
they can be had, good surgeons, pay them
well, and make it worth their while
to do the work well. In France.
Germany and Switzerland, the Society
would be able to procure plenty of infr.
miers, or men who have been trained to do
the subordinate part of hospital work un-
der the orders of surgeons. Sisters of Char |
sty are the best Nurses Ia the world, and the |
kindest: Belgium, France, Holland, Prus-
STA and Bavaria will supply as many of
these admirable women as are wanted. and
no others should be admitted. When once
the amateur female nurse is admitted into
an hospital, there is no end of the worse
han abuse that follows. At Metz, not long
Ego, saw Partisan amateur, who believed

owed by two females, dressed ia mems

sisters of Charity require NO payments;
'othing but their food and lodging.

A PEEP INTO THE HOsPITALs.-An arti-
Gle in the Augsburg Gazette, entitled ga
Peep into an Hospital" says:-Wboever
travels now the French railways which
have been restored by the Prussians, and
which are, as 1t were, the iron letters of
the hostile country, meets endless trains.
They are carrying home the sacrifices and
wounds of our people; their freight is pain,

ney are placed, or those whom NO loving

neighboring barracks. The air is scarcely
endurable, but moisture and cold are not
excluded by wooden walls. Even the ad-
joining goods depot is converted into an
hospital, and some sixty lie there on STRAW.
The shril whistle of o locomotive, the
gathering of the colossal munition trains
which go by, stirs in their wounds. They
lie on the ground helpless, homeless, and
speechless. A Sister of Mercy approaches,
and with her refreshing draught bends
over the wounded. Dumb, like their pain.

hither and thither, requiring no sleep or
nourishment for herself It seems as If
her strength was inexhaustible. Truly, an |
heroic spirit lies in these women, before |
which the heroic courage of men almost |
disappears. The wounded lay under white

With most the arms hung loosely down,
and the eyes half closed. Especially fright
full appeared the contrast of the black faces
with the white sheet. A Turco sat upright
with crossed legs and folded hands; lie had
. fine forehead, and hot, burning eyes. A
bullet had passed through his breast. His
breath became shorter and shorter. At his
side stood Death with the second hand.
'Allah I" said he softly and sighed, NAllah
Allahl Allah I" 1t was the last breath; the
watch stopped. A German soldier, blonde
and blooming, from the extreme north, lay
pear. Sympathy induces us to step for

ventures with a strange voice to accost a
parting life. Half aloud we ask him for
lis last wish. 1t is a greeting for the wife
whom he welded few weeks ago, before

cave behind him but his love-that is the
whole sad legacy. With weary eyes he
yives ne the address, then his head sinks,

ike a sentence of death over him who con-
ured up this fearful war. What he is s
