THE CATHOLIC YOUTH MOVEMENT
The Pope has sent q most encouraging
in Italy, in reply to an address, which they
had presented to him, of sympathy, hom-
age and devoted attachment to his teaching
and sacred rights. He says, speaking Of
the affairs of Rome: "We certainly could
not be deceived by the applause Of paid
secret societies, nor by votes obtained by
cunning, corruption and money, nor by
congratulations extorted by fear. For we
we'll know the affection of our provinces,
end we saw the indignation of the Roman
people, and we receive every day splendid
testimonials of their affection for us, and,
at the same time, of sorrow and detestation
of the impiety which has been committed.

THE PORE AND THE VIOLATION OF ROME.
The Pope held q secret consistOry on the
5th ult., in which he condemns the authors
of the events that have been accomplished
in Italy since September last. His Holiness
rejects all ideas of accepting guarantees
from Italy. He deplores the state of Rome.
He makes a special alldsion to the condi-
tions of peace, and laments the war between
Germany and Ftance. His Holiness, in
CONCLUSION, expresses his gratitude for the
many proofs of devotion he has received
from the faithful believers of the Catholic
world, and in vokes the Divine Providence
for them. His Holiness has preconised
bishops for the vacant sees.

The FOURTH DISTRICT HOTEL.-That
there is a spirit of enterprise among at
least some of our citizens has been evident
for a good while in the Improvement con-
stantly going on in the neighborhood OF the
Magazine Market. The immense labors of
the Redemptorist Fathers have no doubt
contributed in the most important degree
to the general prosperity of that neighbor-
hood, but they have been ably seconded by
merchants such as BRAsELMAN g. ADAMS,
and others interested in the locality. The
line of stores up and down Magazine street
for several squares on each side of the
market are equalled in attractiveness by
no place in this city except Canal street.
An immense retail trade has been attracted
thither, even from remote portions of the
city, by the enterprise of the merchants in
Offering very fine stocks, and holding them
at moderate prices. A fourishing bank
has also been established, and, in a word,
that portion of the Fourth District is
rapidly taking the attitude of rivalry with
the more central region of Canal street and
| its environs.
In pursuance of this policy of energy and
enterprise, the wide-awake people of that
section have conceived the scheme of get
ting up q frst-class hotel of their own.
They contemplate purchasing the st. Eliza
beth Asylum for this purpose, as being
sligibly situated and suitably constructed.
According to the printed prospectus with
which We have been furnished, lower por-
lions of the building are to be fitted up for
stores, and new three-story buildings, des-
tined to the same use, erected on portions
of the vacant ground.
AS q financial scheme it has claims to
serious consideration. The projectors as
sumo that by the time sixty per cent of the
stock shall have been paid in, the whole
purchase price and other expenses will
have been met, through the additional
funds received from rents. They esti
mate that the property will then be con-
siderably enhanced in value above the cost
price, and that consequently the stock will
be worth about twice as much as it cost
When we take into consideration that sue
cess is by NO means stranger to that
quarter of the city, but, on the contrary,
seems to have decided prediction for it,
we may well imagine that this result will
. be realized. Where prosperity reigus, al.
. most any enterprise will float along upor
> it's tide, and especially ought there to b
chance for one like this, which combines
several very favorable conditions.

NEW ORLKANs, SUNDAY. APRIL >. II
cALEHDAR OF TIE WEEK.
Palm Sunday.

To-day we enter upon Holy Week, will
the triumphant ceremonies Of Palm sun
day. The hottest season of the year II
upon MS, and the Catholics of New Orlean'
will, no doubt, display the usual fervol
with which they always observe it, and io'
which they are 90 widely noted. Ihii
spirit has even communicated itself to the
rest of the population, and growing IN
clination to respect this anniversary o.
mourning is Observable among the co"f''
and other public institutions.
A week of sorrow and mourning opens,
and, strange to say, it is with day OF
glory and triumph, though that glory ana
that triumph be Swallowed with the knowi-
edge of coming evil. The heavens are
covered with an impenetrable gloom, Dut'
for one moment, the veil is rifted, ana
flood of prophetic sunshine lights up tne
gathering storm with an assurance OF peace
and triumph beyond.
Palm Sunday is the rainbow which
Christ has placed above the deluge OF SIN.
When we see it we know that the flood
shall not prevail entirely, yea, we know
that it shall never again sweep over the
world with an humiliation of every living
element of truth, so nearly total, as that
which ragged round the cross-the new ark
and it's little family on the Ararat of Cal
vary. Yes, we can look forward, by the
light of this day, and see the glorious tri-
umph that shall soon break across the
storm which now RACES around the great
Vicar of Christ.

Practical Remedies.

Under this heading, the zssses OF recent
date has an article looking to some correct
i've for the crowding evils that come troop
Ing like hungry wolves upon the footstepa
of our noble State. It speaks Of the "dan-
ger and disgrace" to the State, the "preva-
ience of corruption" the prodigate waste
Of public treasure" the "corrupt transfer
of franchises" and the " grievous burden
ing of our people and property" tits quite
evident that under condition OF Things
thus graphically described remedy wouid
certainly be worth looking after. The
1smes proposes two Of q practical nature
one of which appears to us to have some
merit. It is couched in the following re-
commendation

1aws grants and official acts creating speUsr.
which can be shown to have been obtained ny
fraud and corruption.
Such provision, especially without the
last clause, might strike pretty efectually at
the root of the evil. If, however, the subject
has to be carried before the courts to have it's
merits tested by the lights of evidence as
to whether there was fraud and corruption
q. its source, justice would be slow and, in
such case, peculiarly insecure. The same
influences which prevailed with merce-
nary legislature would be certain to find
weak spot in the judiciary.
No, let the field be open to all. If people
want an act of incorporation, let them get
it before q notary. If it will pay one COM
pany to run an opposition to another, let it
do 40. There is NO reason in the world
why the Legislature should have the right
of comforting such valuable privileges upon
it's favorites, or why such exclusive privi-
eges should exist at all. It is the business
If government to protect the citizen in

THE RECALL OF MINISTER MOTLEY.

Secretary Fish's review of Mr.. Motley s
letter yindicating his course as Minister at
st. James, is rather caustic. He denies in
the first place that he (Motley) followed
his Instructions and censures him for sub
hitting to Lord Clarendon for vertical
ton of dispatch before first submitting it
to his own Government.
In reply to Mr. Motley's insinuation
that he was removed because the Presi-
his opposition TO st. Domingo, Secretary
Fish says this claim is founded upon
a mere rumor, which originated in Wash
ington from the bitterest personal and po-
litical, enemies OF the Presidents and had
no foundation, in fact, whatever. The
Secretary says many prominent Senators
opposed the St. Domingo scheme as vigor-
ously and efficiently as did Senator SUM
ner who, notwithstanding, have the conf
dence, and enjoy much as ever, the good
will of the President. That Foreign
Minister of Mr.. Motley's acknowledged
ability and experience, should, upon a
mere rumor make such charge against
the President, Mr.. Fish thinks very re-
markable.
He gives ss the real reason for the re-
moval, the failure of Mr.. Motley to follow
his instructions, and the untenable ground
assumed by him in his negotiations with
the British Foreign Minister.
Ii is certainly to be regretted that the
services of so eminent man as Mr.. Motley

THE NEXT PRESIDENCY,

Nlce-President Colfax has pursued such
a thoroughly CONSTANT course, that his
Republicanism has never been called in
question. He has never swerved from
principle, but has always been as true as
the needle to the pole. Nor has he been
merely silent thinker, but has defended
his OWN convictions of right whenever and
wherever occasion seemed to require.
With his untarnished record, his urbane
manners, and his hatred for everything
that is wrong, he very naturally exercises
great influence in his party. He has re-
Gently signified his determination TO re-
tire from public life at the experation of
his present term of office, hence, anything
that he may say or do cannot be construed
as the result of selfish ambition
In late number of the Iedepcadcnt, he
contributes an article on the subject of the
next Presidency, which is calculated to
exercise great weight in the selection of a
Republican candidate. Mr.. Colfax argues
hopefully for the future OF the Republican
party, and suggests that President Grant
will be nominated for reelection in 1872.
However, the President may be criticised
and attacked, he thinks he is stronger with
the people at large, than when he was first
chosen.
We have no doubt of the truth OF this
remark. Every charge that could be
trumped up by his enemies, which would,
if established, prove detrimental to his
prospects, has been used, and still he pur
sues his own course, never deviating from
his honest convictions of an economical
administration of public affairs. In his
endeavors to perform the duties deyolving
upon him, he has met with much opposi-
tion but what of this? No good man has
ever escaped the calumnies of those who
would break him down for unworthy pur
poses. President Grant cannot expect to
escape, but it is rather complimentary to
him than otherwise. Mr.. ColfaX closes
with the following truths:
General Grant with some one OF the many
prominent Republicans East or South, whom
all conide in and will delight to honor, aSsocia-
ted with him, will, | sincerely believe, lead the
Republican phalanx, as he has often lead
those under his banner, to a signal and auspi
cious victory. And it will be a victory that
will give stability and rest to the country by
ending forever, as it will, all hopes of a Demo-
cratic reaction against the results of the war rs
embodied in our Constitution and laws.

4 WORD TO CORRESPONDENTS.

We are daily receiving a large number
of letters from persons i'll every State of the
Union, asking us for information about
East Tennessee, and for written replies.
We would willingly answer these letters,
one by one, if we had the time to do SO, but
as correspondents can readily see why we
cannot, we ask them to have patience, and
in few weeks we will begin giving answers
incur paper, which NE will prepare to cover
all the points upon which information is
desired. To some of these letters cores
pondents will receive answers from our
Real Estate Agents. some say to us that
they have no confidence in such agents,
and would prefer an answer from us. We
would certainly not give letters in good
faith sent to us requiring answers, to men
in whom we did not have confidence.
We say, without hesitation to all our
subscribers that we have confidence in
both of the agents doing business in this
city, and believe that they will do just
what they agree to do. We trust them with
our own business, and this ought to be a
sufficient guarantee of our own confidence
in them. We think that our friends
will find that we are acting in entire good
faith towards them and, that we will not
pat them in business communication with
men of whose integrity and good faith we
are not assured.
We are arranging our letters SO that in a
short time we can give answers systemati-
cally.

BY reference to "Dexter's' letter from
Nashville, it will be seen that the bill to
reconstruct Monroe county SO as remove
Mr.. t. w. Burge, lately appointed Clerk
and Master by Chancellor Temple, has
been introduced. We gave an intimation
of this plan some weeks ago. The plot
provides, first, that the Chancery Court of
Monroe county be abolished, and second,
that it be restored and the county changed
to Chancellor Keys division. This will
displace Mr.. Burge and insure from Chan
cellor Key an orthodox appointment. At
ter this is done, if the county can be re-
stored TO this division without affecting
the tenure-of-office of the new appointee,
il will be done. All this reconstructing
process is resorted to for the purpose of
ousting Mr.. Burge.
While the State credit is depreciating,
and legislation of the most important char
acter required, our solons (?) at Nashville
spend their time in such a spiteful, trivial
way. This is done to crafty the malice of
some narrow-contracted mind, and it re-
mains to be seen whether the Legislature
will respond.

4 SUGGESTION.

The report, at the Board OF Trade meet
ing, of the mining operations at Ducktown
suggests the idea that such facts might
be gathered more fully and eXtendedly,
and then published and widely circulated
to the great profit of our section. There
are thousands and thousands of persons
all over the country who are deeply inter
ested in this section, and who want to
come here to live. Correspondence with
them shows them to be men of some capt.
tai and more energy-the very class OF
men we need in this country. But few OF
our people have any idea how many of
this class there are. What they want, and
them, is facts about our country. Why
would it not be a capital plan for our Board
of Trade to gather these facts and circulate
them? The latter is the most important
part, for every dollar spent i'll this way we
will get back hundreds. There is no ques-
ton about il. Letters received every day
by our real estate agents-who, in their
business, are doing us a great deal of good
will show this. We are ourselves now
receiving from ten to twenty letters almost
every day, in answer TO a few advertise
ments we have sent out. This correspon-
dence will show not only d very deep iu-
terest in getting information from us, but
a desire to come, on slight encouragement
We have the country, the advantages and
the interest fully aroused; all we want is
to get the facts before the proper persons,
What way can this be done better or more
Systematically than by our Board of Trade
Is not the plan worthy of consideration?

CAMPBELL COUNTY.

We are pleased to see our neighbors III
Campbell county wheeling into line Oh
the subject of education. The County
Court, OH the first Monday of this month,
provided for school tax of four mills on
the dollar, which is the most liberal as
sessment we have heard of yet. We do
not wish to be understood as endorsing the
county system, but until we can get some
thing better, we must take this.
