LAYING OF CORNERSTONE OF NEW
this day week, at o'clock,
=. NJ, we witnessed one of the grandest cere-
monies which it las been our good fortune to
attend for many q long day: the laying of the
corner. stone of q new Catholic school, in the
old Third District. This is the work of the
young and energetic pastor of Trinity Church.,
Father Tnevis. Well may the Germans of the
Third District be proud of the grand display !;
and surely they must feel that the sacrifices
they have made are highly appreciated by
their fellow citizens. A full description of the
procession and ceremonies would carry us be-
yond the space at our disposal The procession
was headed by several carriages, with many OF
the clergy of the city; then came German So
cieties from Jefferson City, Lafayette, Trinity
Church, Third District, Algiers, Gretna and
Hibernia Benevolent Association. There was
"a very eloquent address delivered by the Rev
Father Niethart, C.ss.R, also by the Rev
Cornelius Moynihan, which elected mirth
laughter and enthusiasm. Men, women ant
children We'd with each other in their contri
buttons when the collection was taken up.

THE VOICE OF SWITZERLAND. - The
brave Swiss have joined their voices to
those Of Catholics all over the world, in
remembrance against the treacherous con-
duct Of Piedmont. The Gazette de Lucerns
publishes the following letter, addressed to
the representative of Italy ut Berne:
Excellency:-Then news has reached our
mountain homes that several Of our fellow
citizens have been arrested, without cause,
by the italian agents of police, handcufRed,
dragged through the streets, insulted by
the populace, and set at liberty after three
hours detention, without Inquest; and that
one of them was so maltreated that the
blood flowed from his head. We need not
state to your exceIlency how much indig-
nation this news excites in every SWISS
heart since you have lived in Our country
you must have become convinced that the
republican Swiss places his honor above
every thing else, and that whosOever wounds
the honor of one of our citizens, attacks the
houor of all. Your Excellency will, there
fore, understand that it is to tie interest of
the Government you represent near US, to
give US prompt and entire satisfaction for
this ofense committed against the Swiss
people, in the person Of one of our fellow
citizens. The fact that our fellow citizens
maltreated in Rome belong to the POpe's
Guard, lie, for US, another reason why we
should insist upon obtaining prompt repair

Four Cantons have regarded as an honor
| the confidence shown us by the Popes in
| calling our compatriots to the Immediate
service near their persons. We are proud
of this confidence and we shall stop at no.
thing to show ourselves ever worthy of it.
EIcellency, we declare here to you, with
republican frankness, that, like the Swiss
Guard in Rome, tue whole people of tho
Four Cantons remain faithfully devoted to
the Pope imprisoned in the Vatican. We
are not, it is true, in q situation to avenge,
ourselves, the injustice Committed at Rome,
the insult we have received, and the Swias
blood shed there; but the blood of the
Swiss was never shed with impunity, and
the day will come when the mOst powerful,
who have not respected tho weak, will
have to account for their acts. Your Ex-
; cellency is too much enlightened not to
understand this truth, aud We need not

the short space of o few weeks, has fallen
from the rank of the most powerful

despised of prisoners. Our federal consti-

THE BLESSINGS OF RELIGION IN REGEN-
GRATED RoME.-The "blessings" of reli-
gion in the City of the Saints need some
further proof. The Capitatc is giving
course of sermons for Lent, in large type.
1t takes one after another of the Lenten
sermons, and makes its own remarks. 1t
declares the marriage of the clergy to be q
law of Cod; it speaks profaneiy of the
holy name of our Lord, denies tue miracles
of our Lord, quotes Scripture profusely,
and abuses everything truly Christian and
Catholic. Unfortunately, it writes serious
~, aud measures its abuse aud it's profana-
ton by neat sentences. Another paper is
edited by Mazzini's friend, petroni. who,
when invited by the Freethinkers to join
them, replied, ''If your cry is anatllema to
that cornerstone of despotism-RevetGtion
by whatever name you call yourselves,
am with you" Vile insults to foreign
bishop in the street; vile biography OF
Cardinal Antonelli, charging him with
uear.y every crime under the sun; insults
to priests, and frequent arrests Of priests
are some other of the blessings reported oi
late.-R0man Nescs Letter.

ST. JosEPn's FA1R.-So marked has been
the success of this entertainment, that the
lady managers have been induced to con-
tinue it for two or three evenings longer.
1t has become SO popular as a resort, that
its visitors do not like to see it closed, as
yet. The competition between Nos. and
Hibernian Associations, for the banner has
become SO exciting too, that no doubt the
contin uance of the Fair is in some degree
owing to their desire to make further ef
forts. 1t is one of the sharpest contests VIZ

THE NAVY AND THE DIPLOMATIC
SER VICE

The House of Representatives on Friday last
adopted resolutions directing a court of in
quiry into the conduct of Rear-Admirals
Godon and Davis in refusing to extend proper
aid to Minister Washburn when he considered
himself in peril from the Paraguayan tyrant
lopez, and also disappearing of the conduct
Rear-Admiral Davis in delaying for an un-
Hasonable time to proceed to the rescue of
Gessrs. Bliss and Masterman, in accepting
their release in a manner derogatory to tine
dignity of the United States, and in receiy-
ing, holding, and treating them as prisoners
These resolutions may be considered def
mite declaration of the principle that the
naval is subordinate to the diplomatic SER
vice, and that naval off GERS will in
the future be obliged to recognize the
fact that their personal dignity is of
less importance than that of the
Government. That there is a necessity
for very radical reform has been proved by
the aft sir in which Rear -Admirals Goden
and Davis were implicated, and if any further
proof were needed, it can be found in the
declaration Of Admiral Porter in his testimony
before the Committee of Foreign Affairs in
regard to this same matter Admiral Porter,

tifcate OF the physician and superintendent OF the
prison, is far advanced in consumption, and cannot

Moothart is (not was) notorious charac-
ter, and is of a notorious family. Though
his pardon was recommended by ex-District
Attorney Mann, and seven officers of the
criminal court, because it was thought he was
too delicate to live out his term, and though
he has since been reported dead" it is said

raj, said; -"We look upon it that a minister
is send abroad to preserve peace, and not TO
make war; and naval officers having 80 much
intercourse with the world, consider that they
are perhaps as we'll informed about diplomatic
matters as persons who have entered upon
their diplomatic duties for the first time. Now
in England il is different. There PERSONS
are educated for the diplomatic profess
sion, and a British naval officer in
many cases is put under the orders of the
minister. In case we had any difficulty with
foreign power, the Navy Department would
instruct the admirals at that point to CO.
operate with the minister in that particular
case, but in no other" Such an extraordinary
statement as this scarcely needs comment, as
it proves conclusively that the naval officers
being impressed with the idea that as our di-
plomstic service is not what it ought to be- it is
therefore incumbent upon them to undertake
the management of our foreign affairs on
general principles and according to their own
discretion, without regard to the ideas that
prevail in the State Department. It is GER
tainly high ii ne for Congress to convince
Admiral Porter and his subordinates that
their duties and responsibilities are some
what different from what they imagine.
In regard to the court of inquiry provided
for in the resolution passed on Friday no
great results need be expected The court
will be composed of naval officers, inspired
by the same opinions as those which infu-
enced the conduct of Rear. .Admirals Godon
and Davis, and it will certainly be somewhat
extraordinary if those officers are judged to
have been in fault
