WARRINGTON the brilliant and versatile
correspondent of the Springfield Republican
writes from New York to that journal some
of the things which he knows about II. G.

will be seen that Warrington does not believe
much in the Philosopher as Presidential
candidate.
''Greeley is "a radical gone to seed," l. e.,
conservative or bunker. Tilton described
him very well in one of his lucid intervals,
some months ago, when he spoke of his gen.
eral mustlness and seediness as a social and
political reformer. Thirty-fve years ago his
face was sympathizingy seen at transcendent-
al and associative meetings. In the New
Yorker he quoted pages and pages of the
''Dial," and after he started the Tribune he
let Brisbane have column day for oftenl
for an explanation of Fourerism. IF Rerlin
flights or Oneida had existed then. he would
have explored their precincts, Glove cnre,;
and all, and would not have hesitated to de-
fend the founders and occupants But the
Tribune grew prosperous, and it would not do
to 90 on in this way. There was no DO
etry or idealism in Greeley except such as is
inseparable from youthfulness, and as he had
left him with the lapse of years. Transcen-
dentalism, association, total abstinence and
everything else went at last His abnormal
egotism led him gradually to think that he
was sort of guardian of the anti-democratic
party, under whatever name it might assume.

LETTER FROM MOBILE.

MOBILE, Dec. Goth, 1872.
Editor Morning Star and Catholic Messenger:
The weather, yesterday, was dismal in the
extreme, but it could not repress the ardor of
those who were bent on having merry Christ
mas. 1t seems to be an idiosyncracy of many
good people that noise and jollity arc sydony-
nous, and that one is happy in proportion to
the vexatiou he causes the air. All those SO
afflicted certainly enjoyed themselves yester-
day to the top of their bent, for the welkin
was made to ring with the noise of all sorts of
engines of mischief and the air was redolsnt
with the fumes of sulphur. Within doors,
peace and contentmeut sat upon our hearth
stones the hearts of little ones were gladden.

Claus, and the "old folks" were blest with
good cheer and plenty, and made happy by the
joyful faces around them. AT least, such is the
happy picture as it appears in my minds eye
and in my heart, for love not to remember
that even on this glorious festival there may
be homes " where no kindness is" Rather let
me think that the memories of this blessed
day have illumined what 10 dark, and raised

FAIRS.

We regret to have to state that the Fair for
the Church of st. John the Baptist, now be
ing held in the old church on Dryades street,
has not been very we'll attended thus far.
Father Moynihan has assumed great liabilities
in his zeal to finish the splendid new church
with which the parshoners are now blessed,
and which is an ornament aud aB honor to our
city, and he certainly deserves the earnest CO.
operation, not only of his own practitioners,
but of all our citizens, in his effoi.s to meet
his obi legations. The Fair will continue dur
ing this week, and sincerely hope will be
well patronizeG.
The Fair for the schools in the parish of the
Annunciation, Third District, was opened
Christmas night The large rooms of the new
school building in which it is held, are beauti-
fully arranged, and the presence of many of
our Unrest Creole bellies, in addition to the
many other attractions, will, We are certain,
ensure large attendance each evening.
In St. Francis de Sales parish, the Fair is
progressing favorably as we were, from the
first, sure it would, for Father Simon receives
the most earnest supppot from his parishioners
in all his good works. The Fair commenced
on the Goth, in the school house, and will CON-
tinue during the coming week.
The Fair for the Convent of the Good Shep-
herd closed last Monday night. We have
been requested to publish the following card :
The Sisters of the Coed Shepherd return
their most sincere thanks to the ladies and
gentlemen who so kindly lent their time and
services at their late Fair. 1t was An arduous
under taking under existing circumstances,
and the Sisters can never sufficiently express
their gratitude for their generosity, in being
so willing to encounter their many difficulties.
Their thanks are due also in a special m amer,
to the gentleman of the Association of the
Militant Union of tho CSoss," particularly to
Messrs. Kernaghan and Shooter, and to the So

VERY REV. THos. BURKE, O. P.

This distinguished clergy man will reach
the city next Wednesday, January LIST, by
the Mosile train, which arrives at O'clock
P. n. He will be accompanied by three
Dominicans; Rev. Fathers Turner, Rooney
and Lilly. The Hibernian Association,
numbering about $500 men, with invited
Associations, among which is the Catholic
Total Abstinence Association, will meet the
Rev. Fathers at the Depot and accompany
them to st. Patrick's Church. The route of
she procession will be found in the pro-
gramme publ shed in our advertising col
aims. Upon reaching the Church, the
President of the Central Board will deliver
an address of welcome which will, NO doubt,

Next Sunday, January 5th, the mission
By the Dominican Fathers above named,
will commence in ST. Patrick's Church, at
10 o'clock Mass. His Grace, the Most
Reverend Archbishop of New Orleans, will
oficiste pontifeally and Father Burke
will preach on that occasion.
The same evening, at o'clock, Father
Burke will lecture in st. Patrick's on "The

The New Line.

Wa have seen in a recent number of q
Queenstown paper an interesting notice Of
the new line of Steamers recently establish
cd betveen that port and New Orleans.
The two steamers already built, the Mime
sofa and the Louisiana, are spoken of as
among the finest ships in the world. The
former of these had left that port for this
the day before the issue of the paper we
refer to and consequently may be soon ex-
pected at our wharf. The convenience thus
afforded for the direct Importation of fine
Irish fabrics and manufactures will be OF
great importance to our commercial inter
ests and will no doubt be pro6ted by to the
utmost capacity of the line.
Tho immense quantities of corn and
cotton and other exports constantly calling

an influx of shipping to this port afford an
opportunity for cheap importations almost
unknown in the history of any other en-
porium and New Orleans ought to know
how to profit by the circumstance. New
York cannot import nearly SO chesply, AZ
this city and the problem always presents
itself as an unanswerable one, why goods
cannot be cold cheaper here than there.
Tho fact is that such a state of things is
simply abnormal and cannot last. Imports
must, in time, come back by the channel
through which exports go out.
If the Minnesota arrives safely in spite
of the fearful gales recently prevailing SO
generally and disastrously, we hope that
our community will manifest its sense of
the Importance of this movement by the
immense crowds of visitors who will go to
welcome her. In fact the occasion ought
to- be made sne of public and official
consratulation, not only through courtesy,
but principally to arouse the interest OF
our population in such matters. The ques-
ton Of growing commerce ought to be
more attractive than heated debates over
the pickings of street com missoner's Office
or the prospects of general

The Voice of the Holy Father.

"Providence seems to have given, in our
day, great mission to the Catholic Press.
It is for it to preserve the principles of
order and of faith, where they still prevail,
and to propagate them where impiety aud
cold indifference have caused them to be for
gotten."- from Pope Plus *, in 1851.

The Situation.

As was expected by many, our Citizens
Committee to Washington had no influence
upon the torpid convictions of our general
in chief or his star-chamber Council called
the Supreme Court. Old lawyers are
generally more remarkable for their shrewd
avoidance of difficulties than for any heroic
immolation Of themselves in the defence of
public right, the day was when such men as
Washington, Marshall and fancy carried to
that bench mot only the profound skill OF
jnrists but the profounder impulees of pa
triotism. Now We have some old gentle
men who are compound of the jurist and
the politician. They are not going to
bleed and die for nybody, especially for
poor people.
As to Grant, We were told in advance
that he had made up his mind. We we've
told this by the Attorney General. People
thought a. the Attorney General did not
know "the law" that perhaps he did not
know s.Ehe facts." He knew that fact, how
ever.
But in the face Of all this, we are greatly
encouraged by the report that our Commit
tee are having salutary influence upon
public opinion at the North and upon the
members of Congress. Oar Attorney Gen
eral elect of this State, Mr. II. n. Ogden
has returned and gives the favorable &c
count of their progress in this regard. Hi
mowers Of observation and his knowledge
of men and motives are so keen and practi-
cal that much reliance can be placed upoi

mature reflection, such he had at Washing
