MRANNylE, LOUISIANA, TUESDAY, APRIL2 1877.

saving the most needy, is to be seen
in the work which the reverend
PREACHER invited lis hearers to take
a part in. That work is on associa-
tion composed not only OF clergymen,
but only Of sisters, of laymen, and
women who unite together in the
determination to reclaim the masses
who are perishing, and to preach the
gospel to the foreign race who are
dependent upon them for the truths
of Christianity.
St. Joseph's Society has not long
been founded. The first missionaries
whom it had educated have been
sent by the Sovereign Pontiff to the
colored people Of the United States.
As the society has received this mis-
sion, it may we'll look to the charita-
bic and Jealous Catholics Of this
country to assist by every means in
their power. It is a society for
gathering into itself and applying
the charity which must be widely
entertained among the Catholics OF
America to the millions Of Africans
who have been cast helpless upon So
ciety, and who need education and
religious care.
The preacher appealed to the gen
crosity and nobility Of the American
youth to come and enroll themselves
under the apostolic banner which
Christ entrusted to his apostles. No
life could be more nohly spent, none
would deserve brighter crown than
that which they might consecrate to
the salvation Of the poor colored peo-
pie. He asked Of the generous men
and women who are free from ties
to come forward and give themselves
to the work, and he begged OF all to
contribute literally toward the edu-
cation of missionaries, and toward
providing all those things which are
necessary for carrying on the mission
successfully. Many come from ELL
rope and give themselves to it, but
Americans are doubly bound to give
every help they can, and to make
even great sacrifices for tho sake OF
the millions who are their fellow
subjects and an internal part of their
population.
Quite handsome collection was
taken during the mass in aid Of DR.
Vaughan's mission. All the collec-
tions at the masses yesterday were
donated to the same purpose.

Showing ITS Co7ors.

During the last two months the
leaders of the Democratic party have
acted with unusual discretion and
good sense. They have succeeded
in playing possum" admirably.
For all that is heard in Congress or
in the newspapers no one would
suppose that there was such " party
in existence. Their aims just now
seem to be to fan the flame Of dis
sension in the Republican ranks, to
aid MIR. Greeley and Mr.. Schurz and
Mr.. Sumner in their efforts to break
up tho party, and when the time
comes, like Rhoderic Dhu's men, to
start up and soize the Government.
The trick is an old one, but we
doubt it's success.
The New York World, the recog-
nized organ Of the party, has been
playing this little game fer some
time, and has, as a general thing,
done very we'll, devoting itself main
ly to the tariff and our foreign af-
fairs, and to O recapitulation OF the
slanderous attacks which leading
Republicans for mere personal reas-
ons are making upon their party.
Once in while, however, it forgets
the character il has assumed and
the role it is acting, aud comes out
in the old-fashion way. The nomi-
nation by the Cincinnati convention
Of Judge Davis gives that paper con-
siderable satisfaction, which it does
not care to conceal. In reference to
the other convention which has been
called to meet in the same city, it
assures us that so far as it is con-
cerned the Democratic party " "occu-
pies the position Of spectators,
(italicising the last word y that it
will represent only a schism in the
Republican party which Democrats
must leave to be fought out within
the Republican ranks"
The great masses of the Republi-
can party will not be so nnwise as
to fall into the trap which a few dis
contented Republican leader who
oppose President Grant on purc',
personal grounds and the Democrat
, ic party arc setting for them. 1t be-
comes more ana more apparent every
day that the continued prosperity O
! the country and the success OF the
Republican party are wound up il
, the success of the present Admins
tration and in the reelection o
President Grant +; and they will no
be led into an intrigue to defeat th'
> one or the other. The Democrati
! party is lying in ambush, but whe'
the time comes it will find that Re
publicanism cannot be surprised an'

The New York Tribune says that
Mark H, Delehay, who is a native Of
Talbot county, Md, aud ''trooly loil'
friend of the administration, aud at
present Judge of the United States
Circuit Court Of Kansas, is charged with
offences so grave that his Immediate
impeachment and removal must follow
if they are sustained by evidence. Per-
sons of unquestioned veracity have ac-
cused him before the Judiciary Com.
mittee Of the House with appropristing
to his own use large arorut Of money
belongihgto to the United States, aecruing
from the sale of property during the
war, under the Confscation act. The
embezElement is said to have come to
light only when some persons whose
property was sold obtained pafdous, and
applied for its restoration. 1t was then
discovered that the money paid into
the court had been deposited 10 bank
and afterward drawn out by the Judge
on his own checks, aud used for his
personal expenses. The Judge is also
accused Of gross aud habitual drunken
ness. The Judiciary Committee we're
so well satisfied that there is foundation
for the charges against Delehay, that
they directed Gen. Butler to offer a
resolution in the House instructing
them 20 send for persons and papers,
aud make an investigated.

Tea and Coffee.

When Doetor Dodge, an eccentric
physician, was lecturing through che
States on the evils Of tea aud coffee, he
happened to meet one morning at the
breakfast table, witty son Of Erin, OF

addressed our friends as follows:

The company roared with laughter,
aud the Doctor quietly retired.

$4,000, 600 for the Army

Thirty millions of dollars are asked
for to support the army of the United
States for the current year, and this
too, 10 face Of the fact that the last
year of the war, 1865, Congress gave
for the army 81 ,030, ,694 400, and for
The navy, sl22,6l7, ,434. A large part
Of this money was expended for material
aud supplies and never used, but added
to the enormous accumulations scatter
ed over the country. In 1865 8 the
United States were richer 10 all the ele-
ments for active war, on land and sea,
than any other nation In the world.
Among the material sold since the war
are three hundred aud sixty three ships,
Of which the documents give no Official
record aud yet even the drippings of
the Quartermaster's Bureau and Ord
nance Office, show that they alone made
sales to the amount of sS7 600 900 SINCE
1866 Yet with all this vast cxpendi-
ture, all this collection Of war materials
demand is made for $50, ,000, 600 TO
support the army in time Of profound
peace.
