Gods and unto Cesar what IL CUsar's'
There 10 NO necessary conflict between
Church and State. Each has it, sphere.
Tho Churci, controls the condolences Of
men, and certainly there can - no conflict
il thSt, because the State cannot pretend
20 such Q control. The Church has author
ity Ia questions Of morals, the State In
matters Of Temporary policy. The State
lsys it, taxes and collects them, it appoints
ito officers and moves is armies, 1t controls
all the machinery for enforcing tho laws,
It builds pavies, developes tho resources Of
lie territories, regulates the thousand de-
tails Of contracts and rights In property.
Its power over life, liberty and property is
limited only by the principles OF natural
and revealed religion.
In all these questions Of policy tho Church
does not claim any right to speak. That 10
the province of Caesar. But when it comes
to saying what is or 10 not the will Of God,
as embodied in the natural or the revealed
religion, the Church-is His only medium,
aud the State must accept that ultimatum.
It will rage against it in vain. There are
thousands and thousands of things In
which God leaves men free to act - to
them seems best. In al these matters the
State il supreme to the extent that society
may choose to confer power upon it, and
with this it must rest satisfied.
1t 10 perfectly evident that the dogma Of
Infallibility does not extend to questions Of
temporal policy, and therefore there 10 NO
danger Of IN encroachmeDt Of the Popes
upon tho legitimate field Of the States sov-
ereiEnty. If they should occasionally show
such an inclination, it would not be through
the powers recognized in them by the
dogma in question, and good Catholics
would do as St. Louis of France did in q
similar case and reject their illegal inter-
ference.
The second reason of the Darmstadt Con-
vention 10 funny one. The dogma, 1t
says, is destructive of freedomrOf con-
science. 1t certainly cannot be mors so
than the proposition of the Darmstadters
themselves, which is to repress the convic-
tions of people upon this very dogma,
not to speak of their proposed expul.
sion of the Jesuits. If people want to
believe that the Pope is infallible on ques-
tons of religion, why not let them believe
| it, For fear that such belief will injure
religious libertyf But you destroy that
very liberty by your own action. You kill
it entirely that some body else may not
MAIN it.
Do not be afraid of this dogma, good
friends. There never was and never car
be doctrine so susceptible Of ignominiou'
defeat, if falss-a fraud 20 easy of exposars
if u fraud. It says, 81 am the sun which
illumines the world and greater than the
sun, for it may have spots upon its bril-
liancy, and can have none. If, in the lapse
of ages you can detect single speck upor
my lustre, if you can note the shadow of {
variation in my light, then I am NO tru'
sun, but an ignis tatuus." Do not fear
then, that men can be led far astray from
the old doctrines of Christianity in the fac'
of such an avowal.

Is Friday an UnIucky Days

There are many people who believe that
Friday is an unlucky day. 1t has certainly
proved so to the French, as a few facts will
demonstrate. It was at $50 pm. on Fri
day, July Is, 1870, that the Corps Legisla-
tiff of France declared war against Prussia,
with the approval of the people and with NJ.
Theirs alone protesting against the madness
of the popular acclamations On the next
Friday, the Emperor of the French prepared
to leave for the front, after a reception of
the Chambers, at which the President, in an
address, threw the responsibility of the war
on Prussia. On the ne xt Friday, the 29th,
Napoleon, having arrived at Metz on the
previous afternoon, took command of the
army, amid the enthusiastic cheering vivas
and other loyal demonstrations of his troops,
established his Imperial Headquarters and
issued his proclamation to the army, closing
with the words: "The eyes of the universe
are upon you. Upon our success depends
the fate of liberty aRd civilization T. In the
next week the solitary victory of Saarbrnck
was followed by the disasters of Weissen-
burg and Woerth. On Friday, the 18th, the
bombardment of StrasbIrg began. On the
next Friday, the Prince Imperial was bur
ried away to place of safety and on Friday,
September I'd, Sedan surrendered, Napol
cons imperial power was broken and the
Empire was dissolved On Friday, the 10TH
the French Provisional Government raised
the blockade of the German ports. On Fri-
day, September 23d, Toul capituIated, and
on Friday, the 28th of October, the people
of Paris were stunned by the first official an
uOuncement of their greatest misfortune
the surrender of Metz-although it had tax
en- place on Wednesday, and was previously
known in England and America On Fri
days also took place the battle of Lengue
vile, the sOrtie of Bazaine from Metz and
the first battle before Paris, in each of which
the French were defeated. AS if all these
were not enough to make the French be-
lieye that Friday is indeed a fatal day fol
| thcm, the terms for the surrender f theil
capital itself were concluded on Friday
January 9th. None can refrain from hop
ing, adds the Pittsburg Commercial, that the
| fall of Paris may be the last black Friday
France shall know for years, and that with
the bless ings of peace all the ravages of wal
may speedily be repaired

In response to call for meeting of cit
liens at the Court Room, last Monday, a
goodly number Of gentlemen assembled and
we're addressed by w. B. DonOho,of Mem.
,phis, upon the subject of Immigration. AL
though the gen1euaan's speech was full Of
information, and "loaded down" with indis
pntaSle facts, but little interest was mani
tested in the importance of the work of de-
vising means by which to bring in our midst
"a new and different class of Iaborors Other
than those upon whom our people have re
lied so long However, it was beginning
in the right direction, and in the future may
prove to be a timely and appropriate step
toward developing the many natural re-
sources of Hardeman county.

Talking Sense.

In a late number of the Memphis Appeal
we find the following "soundness:"
''!The Radicals and the Independents with
all their sneers and ridicule, have not been
able to drive the Democracy, 1.-THE BourbOns"
of the country; from their traditional devo-
ton to the Constitution. In prosperity and
adversely, the Democratic party will never
forget that its sublime mission is the guar
dianship of the Constitution and the preser-
walton of the rights of the States. 1t will
ever bear in mind that every invasion of that
charter of human rights, whether in the
name of loyalty" or of remorseless big
otry, is only another step to despotism. But
for the patriotism, vigilance and sleepless
watchfulness of the Democratic party, our
federativs republican system would soon be
wrecked in the yawning gulf of centraliza-
ton. The Democratic party of the nation
regard as the worst calamity which could be.
fall the land they would save, the paling
away of those stars which CLEAN upon the
nations banner, as fitting symbols of the
sovereignty of the States, and the concen-
tration of all political rule at Washington.
The Radicals and their allies, who regard
the Constitution as dead ISSUE" are as
weary Of hearing Democrats talk about the
Constitution as the tickle and unerateful
Athenians were in hearing Aristides called
the Just. Radicalism and the Constitution
cannot survive together. One must perish.
He who stands by the Constitution, opposes
Radicalism. Hewho adherss to Radicalism
opposes the Constitution What patriot,
who Loves his country and her institutions,
and who desires to preserve the bond which
has made as a great and powerful nation,
will hesitate in selecting between the char.
ter of American liberty and greatness, and
the rotten platform of a rotten party7 The
issue now before the country, and which
will be the. allpervadiDg issue in the next
contest for the Presidency, is a choice be-
tween the existence Of the Constitution and
annihllatioa between Capitalization and
the rights of the States. In such contest
the Democrats will win. The Radicals
have built their house upon the sand, and
