Our readers generally will join us in con-
graduating the congregation of st. Michael's
Church upon the return of their pastor, Rev.
II. Shehan, who is just back from two
months tour, much improved in health by his
trip. The Rev. Father is prepared once more
to enter upon the discharge of the duties of
his kind offices of spiritual adviser and friend
of his people, and hopes at an early day, with
the assistance of the public, to witness the
completion of his church.

Easter Sunday.

To-day we celebrate the most triumph
ant festival of the Church, the anniversary
of that day when the resurrection of the
dead became an accomplished fact in the
person of Him who had preached that most
glorious doctrine. The greatest of all con-
tests, that between life and death, between
destruction and Immortality, had been de-
cided finally in favor of the human race.
We must remember that this war had
been waged from the beginning of the
world-the war between good and evil, be-
tween faith and scoffing unbelief. The
fool had always eaid in his heart,
there is no God, no resurrection, no eternal
life. The devil had always reigned over
by far the greater portion of the earth.
It's whole face had been wrapped in the
veil of superstition, idolatry and immorali-
ty. There were always, indeed, some few
holy men who revered justice and spoke to
others of meekness, of patience and of
charity, but they were secuted as barbara
ans by the more polished among the hea-
thens, and oftentimes stoned to death by
those who ought to have regarded them as
prophets.
The evil one had almost secured the I'M
disputed sovereignty of the whole world
when the Messiah, SO long promised, at last
appeared. The food of evil had reached
it's height and but few were left not as yet
submerged beneath its swelling tide. Christ
was born, and when His time had come,
He spoke to men, but it was as one having
authority. He preached lowliness, poverty,
self-contempt, obedience, submission and
the love of enemies. Human nature stood
agbast; philosophy was astounded. But
the grace of God was with His words and
many believed.
They believed, but the world called them
madmen. Almost the whole human race,
with its learning, its wisdom, it's wealth
and its power, was against them. What
wonder that their hearts sometimes failed
them as they thought of all they had lef,
behind! What wonder that, as they locked
for moment beyond their own little cir
Gle, and beheld the great, black, universal
storm about to burst in overwhelming fury
upon them, that their knees smote together
and fear came upon them! But they found
greater wisdom and truth in their Master
. than they bad left bekind, 40 they believed

CALENDAR OF TIE WEEK.
CONCERT FOR THE BENEFIT OF ST. THEREsAs
of our readers have, no doubt,

CONCERT FOR THE BENEFIT OF ST. THEREsAs
CHuRcH.-Many of our readers have, NO doubt,
noticed the extensive repairs which St.
Theresa's Church has lately been undergoing.
The entire exterior has been replastered, the
roof has been repaired, and the painters have
been plying their brushes within and without
until they have effected such . metamorphosis
that one would now scarcely recognize the
dingy and faded-looking old church in the
beautifully renovated building at the corner of
Camp and Clio streets. The expense attending
such extensive repairs, while having exhausted
the Golfers of the church, is still unprovided
for in full, and Father Kenny, whose labors in
behalf Of his parish seem to be interminable
DESTROYS of meeting the expense incurred, in
tends giving grand vocal and instrumental
concert on Sunday, the 23d inst, at 8 o'clock
P.M. The best amateur talent in the city have
volunteered to assist the worthy Father, and
we trust success will attend them in their
charitable work. There is no parish in the
city which, taking all things into considera-
ton, can boast of greater prosperity than St.
Theresa's. The school is now regularly at
tended by about five hundred pupils, and when
the new school for the girls is completed by
the Sisters, there will be scarcely anything
wanting to this fortunate congregation; and
it will be long before they are again called
on for anything. The means adopted by Father
Kenny for the collection of funds to meet the
expense incurred are very judicious, for if
we are not satisfied with his thanks for our as
sistance, he certainly gives us more than the
value of our money, in the pleasure which all
are bound to have, who attend the concert.

PASS CHRIsT1AN.-Wehave received highly
interesting account of Papal protest recently
made by the congregation and College of Pass
Christian, and regret that, owing to an unusual
press of matter, it is crowded out of this num-
Der, although already in type. 1t will be found
in the next issue.

taken the general ground that government
has no right to tax people for education or
religion or charity, that it has no business
to interfere with such interests, but must
leave them to the good will of the people,
we might, perhaps, have sided with him.
We are satisfied that Catholics will always
furnish such means as are necessary for
these objects, especially if they are not al
ready taxed by the State; but when
government insists upon raising money
enough to meet these and similar ends, Ca
tholics insist upon having their fair appor-
tionment of such moneys and on making
the application of them after their own
fashion.
And it is not necessary to argue with
Mr.. Walton upon the correctness of this po-
sition. So thoroughly is this community
convinced of it, so far as concerns ques-
lions of charity, that the administrator
may be safely left to enjoy his peculiar
views in solitude. That gentleman is,
doubtless, good fnancier, but how he can
sustain his position upon the subject of an
almshouse on economical grounds, is mys-
terry ITO us. Mr.. Shaw's exposure of his
fallacy was complete in very few words,
embodying the two following propositions,
LIST, it would become an insupportable bur-
den, and 2dly, prolific source of admins
trative corruption.
Mr.. Shaw wisely asked how far $14 per
annum would go towards supporting an
orphan or anybody else. In all probability
if the city should take charge of all these
unfortunates, their care would cost about
800 per annum each. The list as publish
ed and embodied in the ordinance numbers
1871 children. The assumption of the full
support of all these, would certainly entail,
as Mr.. Shaw says, an intolerable burden.
Public establishments are always and
necessarily far more costly than those of
private charity because considerable por-
ton of their outlay is for salaries to ofici-
ais. These persons must be supported in
handsome style with their families, and
have enough over to lay up something for
future day, while Sisters of Charity ask
no wages and want no wealth. AS to the
superior order, cleanliness, comfort, moral
ity and happiness of their establishments
when compared with those sustained by the
government and directed by hired officials,
it is useless to raise question.
Mr.. Walton has the reputation in this
community of being honest, which is high
ly creditable to him, but we think his JUS
tice is not sufficiently tempered with mer-
cy on this subject, and while we may give
him credit for o watchful solicitude over
public moneys, we must dissent from his
socialstic tendency to concentrate all
powers in the government. We by far
prefer the policy of Mr.. Shaw, which sees
more wisdom in trusting to private chart
ties, and We heartily applaud his declara-
ton, under the present aspect of politics,
that she considered these appropriations as
a more sacred obligation than that of pro-
viding for the interest of the consolidated
debt"

THE YOUNG HIBERNLANs.-We learn with.
pleasure that the ycung mon of this city who
can boast of Irish blood are about to inaugu-
rate . movement to organize Hibernian Aeso-
citation. SThe spirit of st. Patrick seems to
have crossed the broad Atlantic, and for
time leaving his devoted Erin, comes to organ
ize those who, years ago, fled oppression In the
land of their birth and sought refuge in q dis
tant but happier cline, and comes to remind
them that although they are now the adopted
children of another, they must not forget the
mother whose bosom they were nurtured.
And the children, too of those who abandoned
their homes, when they were turned into bells
by the malicious prosecutions of short-sighSed
Government-they, too, must show that al
though their fathers had country, but could
not call it their own, and although that conn-
try ranked not high among the powers OF the
world, yet they feel no shame for Ireland.
Yes, the spirit of st. Patrick is with us, and,
infusing itself into all, both young and old, is
bringing forth glorious results. Time was
when many were ashamed to be considered
Irishmen, but now, with the same pride that
the members of the Old Guard felt when point
ed out as soldier of France. he who belongs
to one of cur Hibernian organizations, feels
when one of his fellow-citizens singles him
out as q son of st. Patrick. Due notice will
be given of the first meeting of the young
men for organization, which will take place
within the next two weeks. Success attend
them!

st. Joseph's New Church.

The grandest enterprise of its kind ever nm
dertaken by the clergy of the South is, beyond
doubt, the erection of the new church of st.
Joseph by the Lazarist Fathers of our city.
When this grand edifce is completed, there
will not be building in the State, except the u.
S. Customhouse, which will excel II in it's i'm
mense size; and in The beauty a1U durability
of its construction it may be equaled by the
Cathedral Of st. Patrick in New York, but even
that grand temple will not surpass it. The
walls of the church are now raised about fifteen
feet above the ground, and the stills for the lay
ing of the floor will be soon prepared and put
in place. The eide walls are of brick and stone,
the entire front of the church will be COM
posed of brown stone. It is now but short
time since the work began, and the progress
made is wonderful. The heaviest part of the
work is now finished, and our citizens, in
shorter time than they think of, will see this
great addition to the city's beauty in q finished
state, giving another proof of the energy and
enterprise of the Catholic priesthood.
The dimensions of the church are, as we have
| before informed our readers, two hundred and
thirty-three feet six inches in length and one
hundred and fifteen feet in breadth. There
will be double roof to the church, something
similar to the Church of the Immaculate Con-
ception, the first roof being eighty feet above
the floor. Owing to the great size of the
building there will be galleries-twenty-
| five hundred persons can be comfortably seated
in the pews. The basement of the church will
also be completely finished and divided into
| several large rooms and used for various pur-
poses.
We paid q visit to the work last week, and
we must acknowledge our inability to describe
| what we saw and do justice to it. visit
alone will give one an idea of what is being
and has been done. Mr.. Thomas ONeil, the
architect, has constructed many of our public
buildings but this one will be the grandest
testimonial to his capacity as builder that he
| could wish for. He has pushed the work
| steadily, and has been giving almost his entire
time and attention to its proper construction.
| The name of Thomas ONeil will be inseparable
| from the grandest ediice of which the South
| can boast.
| Tomorrow evening q grand fair, under the
auspices of the ladies of the parish, will open,
| and we trust that all who have any claim to
the reputation of being liberal, or DESTROYS of
encouraging improvements in our city, will
attend on one evening at least, and contribute
what they can to the now depleted treasury of
| the worthy Lazarist Fathers.

News FROM CAPTAIN HALL pri-
yate letter received in New YORK from
a member of the Arctic expedition UNI
der Captain Hall in the Polalis,. gives
an account of the movements OF the
expedition since last heard from
through the officers of the Congress.
The letter is dated Upernavik, Sep
TENDER 5th, and was carried thence to
Copenhagen by Danish vessel,
whence it was dispatched to its desti
nation Wis Hamburg steamer.
After leaving Disco, where b re-
ceived his extra stores from tho Con-
gress, Capt. Hall sailed nortll until he
arrived off. the harbor of Proven. He
there went ashore, and vas well re-
ceived by the Danish authorities. His
principal object was to obtain dogs,
but he succeeded in securing only
eighteen, about halt of which We're at
the time unfit for service, but may by
care be made valuable. After leaving
Proven, the POlaris sailed for Uper-
navik, where she arrived on the Both
of August. Here he trieG to secure
the services of some EsquinauX hun
tiers and dog drivers, but was unsuc-
cessful. He, however, obtained some
dogs and furs, which will prove OF
great value while in winter quarters.
Capt. Hall sailed from Upernavik on
the 18th of September, going north.
Oficourse he has not since been heard
from, and will not probably until win
ter, when he may send down from
winter quarters to Disco for supplies.
All on board arc reported well and
confident of success.
