From Germany, the seat of the expected
schism, we receive the most encouraging
accounts of the devotion of the people to
the Holy Father, and their indignation at
the recent sacrilegious actions of Victor
Emmanuers Government. The students
of the universities have already sent in
their adhesion to the grand protest of
Fulda. Those of Fribourg have held
mass meeting, and, not content with ex-
pressing their sentiments, have, out of their
penury, contributed a large sum of money
in aid of the Sovereign Pontiff. At Munich,
on the 9th ult., four thousand Catholics
held a meeting of sympathy with the Pope
in the Crystal Palace, at which his Grace
the Archbishop, the Papal Nuncio, an
Eastern Archbishop and an American
Bishop were present. At Brombach on
the 25th ult., an influential meeting was
Lowenstein. A Solemn High Mass and
procession preceded the gathering. The
Political and Catholic Association of Salz-
burg have sent to the Prince Archbishop
an address and an offering to be forwarded
by him to his Holiness. On the Both ult. a
meeting was held at Teisendorff, in Ba-
varla. Another was announced for last
Thursday at Worms. The president of the
Cisieithanian Council has received from the
Catholic Association of Linz a protest on
the same subject. In it, is made an appeal
to all the traditions of Austria to try to
pledge the Imperial Government to re. es-
tablish right on the ruins of might. Whilst
all this is most consoliug, we cannot but
imagine how savage the Times, the Rock,
the Church Times, the Church Herald, the
Morning Advertiser and all such papers of
the extreme Protestant school must be-to
say nothing Of DR.. Cumming-to fipd that
not only has no schism broken out, but
that in Germany, where they hoped most
of all for such a catastrophe to take place,
headed by their bishops, are vying with
the Holy Father. Had these Journalists
any sense of decency they would chronicle
these events, and confess that, when they
INDUCED in their charitable Vaccinations,
the wish was father to the thought. OF
course they will not, but then there are
certain unclean animals out of whose ears
no one looks for the making of silken
Weekly Register.

States Rights.

It would appear that the great States of
New York and Pennsylvania are waking
up to a sense of outraged dignity in the
matter of military interference in their
elections. Gen. Grant is getting into bad
odor with the governors of these States
aud if their legislatures take the steps
recommended by executive authority he
will find himself plunged into an actual
state of war, at least on paper. We do not
suppose that this war will mature into an
actual clashing of arms. but we do think
that the central government will have to
recede ANONYMOUSLY from the advanced
position of absolutism which it has had the
audacity to take.
Radicalism, as has been said a thousand
times, is another form of despotism. The
faction of impudent traitors to American
Republicanism, who have heldthe sway at
Washington city of late years under the
name of Radical Republicanisni, with Gen.
Grant for their principal tool, have made
this bold move in the interest of their in
tended despOtism. They expect to con-
centrate all power at Washington and Gre
ate military empire under the name of Il
Republic, which shall control every inter
est of the people more absolutely than the
government of the Car.
Their hopes of doing this hung princi-
pally upon the prejudice by which they
were permitted to play the despot in the
South. They could interfere as they
pleased with elections in the conquered
States and thence concluded that an OPP
portunity offered to make general laws of
the same nature that would apply both
North and South.
So they have done it, and had the imper-
Thence to put those laws into execution
in certain localities where the radical fan
atheism of the people had not yet died out
entirely. They did not attempt seriously
to enforce them in New York, but the mere
supposition that they might do SO, raised
the feeling of indignation which has at
length found expression in the recent mes
sage of Gov. Hoffman.
We have always thought that the doc
trine of States Rights was by no means de-
finitively settled by tho recent war. Dis
satisfactions will arise from time to time
in different sections, until finally it may be
found expedient to hold another general
convention for the purpose of fixing the re-
lations of States with the general govern
ment on q basis that will be acceptable to
all.

In the City of Rome where the government
has been purely Catholic, one out of every
six persons is educated; white in the most
highly educated parts of England only one
out of every eight persons can read and
write. By the census of 1860 there were
I,126, SIS white people in the United States
who could neither read nor write. In New
York State in 1870 there were only419, 957
of the Gas, 2O3 children enrolled, who at
tend the public schools. In Chicago only
81 per cent. of the children go to school.
If the principle that the Catholic Church
prefers ignorance to education be true then
there ought to be the most ignorance where
the Church has had the greatest contr of the
people. Romeshould therefore be the most
ignorant city in ChristendOm. Yet statis-
tics show that education is more widely
extended in Rome, and of higher charac-
ter, than in the most enlightened capitals
of Protestant countries. Before the pres
emit occupation of Rome by the Sardinians,
over thirteen hundred youths received an
nually in the Collegio Romano the benefits
of a complete education, from the lowest to
the highest branches, and all for nothing.
This is one out of the many Roman schools.
The much maligned Jesuits were the profess
sors.

DEATH OF REV. M. T. MAaU1RE.-On
Monday, 10th ult., the entire Catholic popu-
lation of Marlboro, Mass, assembled at the

born in the parish of Clintuimullen, county
Fermanagh, Ireland. He was ordained by

ST. TAMMANY PARIsH.-We have re-
ceived list of names from Covington and
Madisonville subscribed to the Protest
against Italian absorption of the Papal
States, and indeed we had not supposed
that SO creditable a number of signatures
could be obtained in those two small con-
gregations. A meeting was held in Gov
ington at the suggestion of Rev. Father
ManorItta, pastor of the parish, and numer-
ously attended. The officers were Messrs.
w. B. Lancaster, president; Jules Mallet,
secretary, and John Roche, treasurer.
The orator of the occasion was Jas. Thomp-
son, ESQ.,, a member of the bar at Coving-
ton, who viewed the question principally
as one of international law. Several Pro-
testant gentlemen present signed the pro-
test, simply on political and legal grounds,
they being convinced that the conduct of
the Italian Government in this instance
was illegal, and made a dangerous prece-
dent.
We regret that the document came to
hand too late to be incorporated in the report
already sent forward to Rome, but have
no doubt that means will be found to add
its drop to the torrent of sympathy flowing
to Rome from all quarters of the earth.

Inc vagranC law, Wnlcn went INTO enecC

hundred dollars in his pocket, or even in

Occupation to insure an honest livelihood
gold studs and diamond rings by the assist
ance of fraud and crime, is any less danger
GUS to the community than the loafer in
rags and tatters, who sinks among the by
ways. Neither has property yielding a
revenue sufficient for his support; neither
follows any honest pursuit or industry by
which to gain a living, yet each must live.
The ragamuffin must steal little, the
swell must swindie and cheat good deal.
Is society to stand on etiquette and play at
hide and seek with these menf Must it
say, 81 know you I know you are crimi-
nal or q gambler, and that your very trade
is disgrace and ruin to the public, yet
shall not for that reason interfere with you;
shall not trouble you unless catch you
at your tricks 2" "a :.
It is clear that man must not be pun
ished for a crime before he has been con-
victed of it, but it, is clear also that whsn
he undoubtedly lives by crime or vice,
though not detected in the very act, he
ought to be, not merely watched, but put
in position where society will be safe from
his aggression. Such men have declared
war upon society, and it would be absurd
not to treat them as enemies because you
cannot actually catch them perpetrating
acts of war. Their intention is sufficiently
apparent.
There may be something, however, in
the law, as framed at present, that con-
ficts with certain provisions of the State
constitution. That compact guarantees
to all men a trial by jury, in all cases where
a punishment is to be inflicted upon them,
and it is contended that the law, as it now
stands, is calculated to deprive them of this
right. The imprisonment, or detention
resulting from conviction of vagrancy,
may not be technically termed punishment,
but it may really amount to it, and in that
case ought not to be inflicted without a
faithful regard to all constitutional provis-
ions and guarantees.
Still it must be said that there are inn
prisonments which are not considered pun
ishments, such as the incarceration of a
lunatic, of a captive in war, and of a debtor
for debt. AS to the iimprisonments in
ficted on account of .contempts of court,
they may fairly be considered punishments,
yet we have never heard it commended that
the Intervention of jury would be re-
quired to give such an order efficacy. At
any rate the law of vagrancy is one with
out which crowded communities can scarce
ly get on, and if there 10 any constitution
al defect in cur present one, it ought to be
remedied as soon as possible.

! Consistency.

Protestants Journals are prone to harp
upon the supposed Jesuitical doctrine that
the end justifies the means. They openly
charge Catholics with holding that expedi-
ency sometimes may excuse crime. 1t 10
useless to tell them that these charges are
perfectly grOundless, that neither Jesuits
nor other Catholics hold any doctrine in
the slightest degree assimilated with any
such atrocities. No, they know our own
tenets better than we do, and find it very
easy to demolish theories which have no
existence except in their own imaginations.
This is good deal like the prejudice of
the old Romans in the early days of Chris
tianity, who were fully convinced that
Christians sacrificed infants and made re-
past upon their bodies. The Roman Pagans
had, however, this advantage over their
Protestant imtators of the present day,
that they were not guilty of the very crimes
which they charged upon others.
We constantly see new proofs recurring
of the fact that Professionalism in its heart
holds this very doctrine, that the end justi-
fees the means, while openly pretending to
condemn it. Providing the end favors
their plans, how gently they deal with the
instruments and means which contribute
to it We were hardly prepared, however,
to see such means, when clearly murderous
and criminal, openly extolled as worthy of
all admiration, yet such is the case in an
editorial of our Protestant neighbor, the
New Orleans Times, of last Wednesday. In
speaking of the assassins of Gen. Prim, it
says, "We cannot withhold our admiration
and respect from the devoted and earnest
Spaniards, who were ready to resist unto
death the transfer of the fruit of repub-
lican revolution to foreign dy nasty.
Now mark the difference. Catholics have
far more reason to rejoice in the death of
Prim than Infidels or Professionals, because
he was a bitter enemy of the Church. His
memory is covered with the infamy of a
ruthless persecution and dishonest rapaci-
ty in it's regard. Yet what Catholic would
dare justify the crime by which his life was
taken, much less award the tribute Of his
" admiration and respect" to the assissins9
The Times, however, simply because of it's
admiration for Republicanism or for some
other object which it finds to be advanced
by this horrible crime, pronounces the act
good and praiseworthy. We, too, claim to
be as ardent admirers of Republicanism, in
it's proper place, as the Times can possibly
be, but we cannot consent to see either it
advanced, or Catholicity avenged by assas-
sination.

The Legislature.

It would seem that much of good may be
expected of the present Legislature. The
spirit of Virginia, West Virginia, Tennes-
see and Missouri has invaded our pOpula-
ton also, and the days of political pros
cription in Louisiana are numbered. The
liberal wing of Republicanism has taken a
decided stand in opposition to the hobbies
of Radicalism, and in this it can certainly
count on the cooperation of the Demo-
cracy. There is good reason to suppose
that the Metropolitan Police law will be
repealed, and probably other measures
that have borne so heavily and so unneces-
sarily on the exhausted resources of our
people.
The rapacity Of our dusky Lieutenant
Governor and his clique, in dipping so
largely into the public crib for their per-
sonal emolument, has been severely re-
buked by the Governor. The policy of
these colored gentry appears to be based
on the principle embodied in the old say
ing, "put beggar on horseback and he
will ride to the devil" Some of these
persons, it appears, are gifted with the ex-
traordinafy accomplish of knowing
how to read and Wi tie, but they have not
yet attained to that sift Of prudent moder-
alton in which their race is SO notably de-
fcient. In grasping at shadow, they
have probably lost the substance which
they already had. ~
1t is to be hoped that the reformation in
legislative matters which will be effected
by this compromise, can be extended to the
judiciary department. Let us have judi
ciary of lawyers, not of tyros-of indepen-
dent men, not partisan tools-and then that
judicial dignity and reliability which are
pow only found in certain courts will be-
come as universal as formerly, and will
give to litigation some stability, instead of
leaving it, in many instances, mere game

The Bee finds but little to commend in
the recent conduct of Gov. Warmoth, and
thinks the people should bear in mind all
the grievious charges which have been
made upon him in times past. On the
other hand, the Times and other papers
give him great credit for the recent judi
cious use of his veto power. Accord
ing to the footing up of one of these jour
mails, the bills recently vetoed provided
tor the expenditure of nearly seven mil
lions of dollars, besides the donation of
SOC, 600 acres of land.
1t would appear that the Bee listens too
intently to the voice of its indignation in
overlooking the merit of this proceeding
We have no doubt that the Governor could
have pocketed an immense sum in return
for his signature to some of these bills.
At any rate, good acts must not be con-
temned because sof bad ones previously
committed or suspected.
tits not advisable to attribute bad mo-
tives to good acts when there is no proof
of their existence. Such course would
betray ignorance of the ordinary working
of human nature, in which we find oppos-
ing elements co-existipg and contradictory
phenomena costantly occurring. Bad men
do good acts and good men do bad acts.
Or, to speak more correctly, all men are a
mixture of good and bad, none perfect and
none utterly reprobate. We do not see
why the Governor may not be a very good
man with all his faults.
