Missionaries for the Southern Negroes
LONDON, Nov. 18.-The first Roman
Catholic mission ever dispatched from
England to the United States sailed to-day.
The party consists of four Priests, who are
to labor exclusively among the colored peo-
pie. Previous to their departure, Archbishop
Manning addressed them, and said this mis-
sion had been established because, as Eng
land had imposed slavery on America, it
was fitting that Englishmen should be the
first to move for the amelioration Of the
newly emancipated race.

Literary Intelligence.

The Westminster ReUieig for the October
1auarter is filled as usual with choice read
ing. 1t opens with an article on the Pill
grim Fathers, aud the well-wOrn theme is
invested with a new interest by the happy
style in which il is dressed. The writer is
evidently a sdissenter," for he eulogizes
what is praiseworthy, and eXtenuates what
has usually been condemned in the Pilgrim
Fathers. A profound article on "Greek
Democracy" follows, and is succeeded by a
most interesting biographical sketch Of
Farady. The other articles are on the fol-
lowing subjects: "Geoffrey ChaUcer,'
ssBearings of Modern Science on Art"
GTThe Authorship of Junius," "The Bap-
fists" oGottf1old Ephraim Lessing," and
GsThe Session of 1871" There are also the
usual critical notices and miscellaneous lit
erary matter which add to the attractive
ness of this excellent quarterly. Reprinted

A Speech from Gambetta.

PARIS, Nov. 1S.-A decree has been
issued srspending publication of the news
papers LAUenjr and La PdiI for'printing
articles insulting to the government.
Several additional courtsmartial have
been created to dispose of large number
of Commune prisoners untried. -
Gambetta made a speech at st. Quentin
last night. His tone was moderate and the
speech has an excellent effect on the public
opinion. He assured his hearers that no
dangers at present menaced the existence of
the Republic, but reforms were necessary to
confirm it. The people should see that leg
islation to that end be not kept back too
long in the National Assembly. Citizens
should take a more active practical interest
in political affairs and make their influence
felt in the Government. To give their
power its legitimate effect, he advocated
the formation of a National Republican
party set forth in deputies. The organiza-
ton is based in many respects on the
American system.
A Dangerous Element.
NEW YORK, Nov. 16.-A Paris letter of
November fifth states that the spirit of
the working classes is becoming somewhat
revolutionary. Much is said to be due to
the new radical journals, in one of which
was published direct injunction on All
Souls Day to those who have lost relations
during the commune to make a demonstra-
ton at one Of the public cemeteries. In
consequence of this several thousand troops
were under arms during the whole day.

:. OVERWORKED JUDGRs-A sUG-
GESTTON.

GESTION.
To the Editors of the Union and American.
If am correctly informed, there are two
or more propositions before the Legislature
to create additional judicial circuits. The
complaint is that the Judges are "over-
worked" The Legislature is called upon
TO relieve them from their suffering, and the
people therefore must pay additional salaries
to new judges, out of the abundance of
their compassion. This is getting to be the
fashionable judicial affection - "over-
worked We presume the Judges now in
Office understood the character of the labor
to be performed before they solicited the
people to give them the "iob." In most
cases they were decidedly anxious to do the
work. Their contract is a very easy one.
There is nothing compulsory in their under
taking. They are not bound to destroy
themselves for the good of the country.
They can hand in their checks" at any
moment. They can resign. Nobody will
interpose an objection. There are many
men in the ranks who will do a little
extra labor for the sake of promotion. In
no circuit in the State viii the judgeship be
q 5eggar. We need no new circuits. The
peopic want to pay no more salaries. If
any gentleman is afflicted, let him not ask
the State 10 'relieve" him by paying an ad-
ditional 5000 year to another man. We
can't afford TO pay such premiums when ju-
dical material is so plentiful in the market.
Let the .'oyerwOrked'' gentlemen fall back
upon their constitutional rights and resign,
and let them not stand upon the order of
their resignation, but resign at once. Let
them suffer no longer, and let the Legisla-
ture bear in mind that the people of the
State want no more Judicial salaries put
upon them. CUMBERLAND.
