ciallys Of our contemporaneous conquests,
barbarian is the resultA.,
But it is not the writer's purpose even to
give brief sketch Of the history of ethical
science; he will merely take summary
view Of the principal forms it assumed
among mankind in those ancient times,
which contained in themselves the germ of
all succeeding ages. This diversity Of
forms arises from the different views which
have been taken of the Cosnaic order, and
therewith of mans destiny in eternity az
well as in time. This order il in itself one
and invariable: but it's operation is cramped
outside of the peoples enlightened by the
True Faith. This assertion .nay shock our
common school geographers, but is none
the less easily proved for its being uncom-
ELEMENTARY to their temerarous assumptions.
Nations destitute Of this blessing, starting
from false principles, guided by fragment
yary or falsifief traditions and vitiated
form of speech, in their impatienee to
grasp the general harmony of the world,
could catch but partial glimpse of it, and
from this partial glimpse they formed rnto
themselves a system of morals about as
logical in ethics as a science, as the world
built on q fossil tooth would berstional in
geology as study. The cosmic and ideal
order, with which the moral law has deal
ings, cannot be appreheaded rehexively
without discourse, and discourse needs
principles and speech for its operations,
because reasoning without premises is alb
surd, and refiexion, which all reasoning
processes demand, without language, is i'm
possible. Now all speculative principles
ARE reduced to two: the principle of crea-
ton and the principle of emanation; the
one peculiar to orthodoxy, and the other
characteristic of all contradictory or con-
trary doctrines. Both depend on Language,
however, which is the Evolutionary patri-
mony of our nature, and in which alone
both individuals and nations find preserved
the principles of their moral and intel
lectual life. Principles are not invented or
discovered, they are received.

An IriShman.

Who is hea We mean the Repx6lie0S'sI
r. Irishmann Of last Wednesdays ISSUE
For the information of our readers, very
few of whom, we hope, ever see sheet ap-|
1parently as radical in it's religious instincts
Jas it is in its political professions, we would
Rsay that the Republican of the date alluded
Ito, has given place in its editorial columns
Ito vile attack upon the Pope who now
stands at the head of the Christian world j
alike the pride of all Catholics and the
generation of all well-disposed men of
every sect.
This document, purporting to be q com
amunication signed can Irishman" says,
alluding to the Pope, that " sensible Ca
tholias- think the old man is dotard," and
speaks of Papal Infallibility as ''the dogmal
of his dotage and sycophancy."
This most indecent and insulting asser-
1tion, which finds publication without COM
ment in an editorial column of the paper
referred to, is prefaced by an utter false
4 hood. "The vast majority of all the
liberal members of the American Bishop
RIGS have been loud in their protestations
against the dogma of Infalhbility," says
this honest Irishman. Time and time
again the public have been informed that
the American bishops who. signed the
famous petition to the Pope were very far
below majority in number and that they
did not for moment think of protesting
|" against the dogma of Papal Infalliblity."
We have never yet had reason to suppose
that there was more than one American
bishop who had the least failure of faith
on that point, and we do not believe that
the ultimate vote will show more than one
: such bishop.
This Irishmann is not only an honest
freshman, but he is an enlightened Irish
man. Ignorance" says he, els the
groundwork of superstition. The more
ignorant a man is, the deeper reverence hs
will have for the mysteries of the religion
= lin which he has been nurtured."
Reverence for religion is then supersti
the more ignorant he must be; therefore
the more enlightened "a man the more If
reverent he necessarily becomes. In tina
case our d" Irishman y has reached thu
climax of intelligence; he can 60 no high

We, however, do not share this gentle

certainly should not have noticed him at al

prominence given to his folly and profanity

marty. that excites attention. This is butts
portion Of an evidently systematic attempt
On the part Of that paper TO produce per-
|fectly false impression. 1t would hke 70
have It implied that American bishops
have become too dependent and enlght-
|ened to accord with the Council. on this
point and that American Catholic laymen
sustain their bishops; that, in fact, the
freedom Of republican institutions 10 IN
compatible with the Catholic Faith.
Instead of publishing spurious kilograms
land Rroundless assertions to sustain sach
Ian argument, an honest paper ought TO
wait for genuine facts and figures. When
these come to light the Republican win
probably find that not single Amerl-
can bishop, or not more than ore, ever
cast q vote indicating want of faith in the
dogma, and that the proportion of free and
Enlightened liberal bishops from thas re-
public in favor of the dogma has been
greater than that from many monarchy.
As to Catholic laymen, we do not know Of
IA single one who has the slightest doubt on
the subject. The Repu6Eiedn's Irishman"
may be one, but we will guarantee, in that
case, that he is not q practical one. Ca

bishops, whose pride may be somewhat inn

such man he will probably provo to be
either Eighty in the upper story or vir-
|tual apostate.

last, Mr. Justice Hartwell delivered an interlocutory
decision in the admiralty Of John Pauhiwa vs..
Robert Briggs master of the bark Mauna Loa. This
is case which has created considerable interest,
there being an important legal question involved.
The men were shipped at this port for sealing
voyage, and under the head of " remarks" it was
stipulated that they be paid of their return
at the rates which would be fixed by the American
Consul. Instead however Of returning here at the
conclusion of the voyage, the bark proceeded to San
Francisco, where the cargo discharged, and the
crew were paid off before II. W. Severance, ESQ., the
Hawaiian Consul with orders on the owners at Homo
lulu. The Consul fixed the price Of the skins at s.
each. The American consul at this port, however,
fixed the rate at 81 so per skim and the refusing
to settle at this rate beed the vessel for the balance
His Honor, in giving judgment, held that the cargo
having been discharged and disposed of in a foreign
port, and the voyage thus ended, the were en-
titled be paid the cash prices prevailing at such
port. The Master L. McCully, Esq, directed to
take testimony as to the actual net proceeds of the
sale of the Cargo at San francisco. aud report there
