ST. THEREsA'S FAIR.-When we first heard
that the ladies of this parish intended giving
Fair, we predicted that it would be a COM
plete success, and 30 the following note shows
it to have been. That the ladies worked cner-
getically, and the public patronized literally,
is fully proved by the large realized.
While we congratulate all upon the 1atterins
result attained, we cannot forbear expressing
the thought that it is but just tribute to the
zeal of the Rev. clergy of the parish, and an
evidence of the high appreciation in which
they are held by our citizens at large, as well
as by their own Practitioners
To tho Editor of the Morning Star:
The returns from our Fair are all in except
ing few tritling sums, and while thank you
again to announce to the public the financial re-
suit of the entertainment. The amount already
handed in is SO 440 Is. The ladies who kept
the tables, are satisfied with the result, they
do not care nor wish to have their names mem
TONED. AS, however, you mentioned in pre-.
vlous issue that Mrs. McHugh had returned
$1,000, deem it but justice to her. and to N.Y.
sell, to state that her returns amountto 81 ,277.
take this occasion to return my sincere
thanks, as also those of the people of this par
lsh, to the ladies who had charge of tables, and
to their assistants. This parish is now hors dw
combat; that is we will not have to resort to
any extra means of raising money for long
time, having now everything necessary for
tne development of parish church and
schools in good repair, n parsonage, new or
gan ETC., and all debts paid If there be any,
thing we further need it is the grace of God.
Yours sincerely,
THos. j. KENNY.

Uncle ''Billy."

One of our most interesting exchanges,
that is, interesting in the way of being
amusing, is little sectariar sheet pub
Advocate. 1t gets up the oldest, most old
fashioned and frontier.like bits of bigotry
that can be found seriously put in print
any where on this terrestrial globe in this
age. These moreels, though in editorial
type, are generally to be found over the
signature of a certain "upcle Solomon"
and if we mistake rot we find one of them
in the last number of that paper, which
has come to and. At any rate it is sub
cribed U. S. which We take to be the
modest for ''Uncle Solomon >" and we there
fore attribute it to the same ingenious
writer who got into Purgatory ON o recent
occasion.
1t reviews the Pastoral Letter Of the
Most Rev. and Rt. Rev. Archbishop and
Bishops, composing the late Provincial
Council, as published in this paper, and
flies off into nearly column of editorial on
the text, "Feed my Lambs; feed my Sheep"
which it finds in that letter. SIT looks
little strange to me-" says our modern Sol
ONION "for lambs and sheep to mean Pastors
ndpeople." Upon the strength of this, and
Notwithstanding that the expression is one
used by our Saviour Himself, and by Him
applied to human beings, Uncle Solomon
gets facetious over it and loosely concludes
that the Pope is IN "old Sheep" in fact the
Coolest sheep of all."-He says:
will not particularly obj ect, if they will
include the Oldest sheep of all, at Rome, max
ing him fallible like the rest.
As to "the entire devotion, etc., to the old
sheep at Rome, we read nothing of it in the
Bible.
Very we'll, Solomon, you object to the
sheep; then take your place among the
goats. There shall be but tho two classes
on the great last day. And as you are
kind enough to recognize the Pope as the
Oldest sheep of all, you will expect proba-
bly, that, in return, you should be &C
knowledged as yourself the great old he
goat of 1.-The venerable "Billy" of the
flock. This being understood, we must in
sist upon your subscribing yourself hence
forth, not Uncle Solomon, but Uncle

Our Rev. Clergymen in the country have
ID in their power to aid us in greatly in

3 few words from the resident or visiting

Taxation.

Taxation is one stage of confscation.
unlimited, it may be pushed to such an
extent that property ceases to produce
any net revenue. In that case it is viz
ually confiscation, for the property is
worthless to the owner, and the government
enjoys all its profits. The transfer of title
to the government would be mere ques-
ton of form in which the nominal proprie-
tors would have DO interest.
Taxation has three stages the first is
where it is conducive to public and private
welfare the second, where it becomes
burdensome, and represses private enter
prise the third, where It amounts, as
above said, to con6scation. Some taxation
is necessary to sustain a government which
is indispensable to the protection of rights
and the security of property this is the
first and onlylegitimate stage. But dou-
BILE that amount of taxation and capital
flies, because it finds other fields where
it's per centage of profit is not SO much re-
duced by the per centage taken off for
taxes. Money then grows scarce and
dear. Worse than that, enterprise Ian
cuisines and even industry becomes slug
gish. Men hesitate to undertake new
works or carry on old ones, because they
are not sure there will be any profit after
p"1N"s taxes. The only way to produce
&c neral prosperity is by stimulating gener-
| al activity and energy. Then production
results. Hold out to men we'll founded
hope of reward for their labors, of peper-
GUS profits in their undertakings, and they
will labor freely, actively. Destroy that
hope, make that reward too uncertain, and
general stagnatiou results.
This appears to be our case in this State
and generally throughout the South. By
the time capital pays from five to seven
per cent for taxes, the rest of it's profits ia
nothing brilliant. It therefore goes avav.
or lies dormant, and of course, labor with
out capital, like the mechanic without
material, can do nothing. Some NAV
think that two or three per cent more or
less will make no difference, but those
who are to get the income think differently
and they will always send their money
where it pays best.
just as long then as our taxes are FIVE
per cent or even three per cent, capital
will flow away from US like water from
high ground, and agriculture, commerce
and manufactures must stagnate.
How long this will last cannot be FORE
seen. The irresponsible population of our

State is in large majority and agrariau-
ism is master Of the situation. Legislators
who have nothing to lose come here to NIL
their pockets, and they can do this only BY
levying enormous taxes, or by fastening on
the people obligations which will render
such taxes necessary. Tho men who elect
to Office blood sucker of this kind do not
know that they themselves will feel most
heavily the curse of the paralysis that fol-
lows. They know that they have siUews
and muscles ; they do not know that alb.
undant capital is necessary to give those
sinews and muscles employment.

they might divide the forces of the agrar-
ians, but unfortunately they have exhibit
ed more of prejudice than of judgment in
dealing thus far with the problem.

The Unholy Alliance.

The meeting of colored citizens ut the
St. James chapel on Tuesday last was an
incident Of some sigificance. At frst glance
1t would appear like q family quarrel in
the Republican party, somewhat acrinon-
isus, bat sure to be made up in alert
time. A little reflection, however, may
arouse doubts on that point.
Tho Republican family Of this State 10
not natural ono it 10 entirely artificial.
The ties which hold 1t together are selfish
On both sides, and totally devoid Of any
thing like mutual affection. Indeed, Car
pet baggers despise negroes and negroes,
strange to say, despise Carpet -baggers.
They consider them low white trash, only
to be made use of for the present. When
recrim;nation once begins in such crowd
it has every prospect of growing more and
more bitter,
Sefshness is a cement which cannot
long hold wall together. 1t contains the
strongest principle of dissolution. In the
Republican party of this State, each wing
wants too much. The little white fraction,
estimated at 5000 votes, wants all the Off
ces. The negroes, considering their
strength, want nearly all of them. What
must be the consequence If the whites
get What they desire their colored allies
cut down to their proportion of Offices, cay
one fourteenth. they lose the only incentive
to alliance with race which they hate.
They will Immediately abandon them and
strive to form o white mans party. They
will not do all the planning and work all
the complicated machinery Of an election,
for the benefit of negro Office holders or
for the mere triumph of a principle. The
negroes have an active and effective army
of white allies, but it is strange army.
1t is one where there are no private soldiers
but all Office holders aud it is only on such
a footing that they can be retained.
This state of things cannot last long. If
a prudent policy shall control the coun-
ellis of our white resident population, they
will offer to the negroes far better posi-
ton in the matter of office holding than
the Carpet baggers have given or will ever
give them. They will bring the control
of legislation back into the hands of those
who have the real interest Of the State at
heart. Then a judicious reduction of taxes,
rigid economy in expenditure, and pub
lie confidence will he restored. Money
will flow back and enterprise renew its
activity.
But however this may be, the negro is
waking up to sense Of humiliation at hav-
ing been so long made tool of by design
ing, bypocritical knaves, and he will

villainy on the ether.

Ship.Euilding in ENGLAND.

No business in England has Of late
years been pushed with greater energy
than the building Of ocean steamers.
Until within twelvcmonth, the Clyde
and the Merscy were building and
cquipping steamers literally Tor the whole
world. But now the business is languish-
ing. The high prices Of labor prevent
cheop building, and that, with the in
creased cost of coal, has rai$el the
charges for steamship traffic, and con-
sequently reduced the volume of trade.
The result is that large feet of idle
stcamercs is pressed On the market for
sale, and at declining piices. Frcigh,s
are no. sufficiently rcmuncrat!ve to epro-
vide for the increased cost Of working
steamers, and TO some extent England is
suffering from evils that have he c'ofore

Contemplated Junction Of two South.
western Lines,

For some time past rumorS have been
in circulation regarding an alleged con-
templated junction OF the Atlantic and
Pacific with the Texas and Pacific rail-
road on the 33 deg. 80 min. of latitude.
A New York Tribune reporter called
upon General Fisk, of the Atlantic and
Pacific railroad in that city, Monday,
and applied for information on the sub
iect. General Fisk said that although
the matter had been the subject Of dis,
cussiou, nothing had been accomplished
as yet, although it was not Improbable
that a junction would be effected at a
future date. The recent ruin0rs proba-
bly, arose from the fact that Edgar
Thompson, President of the Pennsylva-
mir Central, also associated with Col.
Thomas A. Scott in the Texas aud Paci-
fic, had recently ridden over the Atlantic
and Pacific, and carefully examined the
road and its equipments, probably at the
suggestion of Col. Scott. As the latter
is in Europe at the present time,
nothing would be accomplished until his
return.
The original plan of the Atlantic and
Pacific line was to run through the
mountains to the Pacific on the parallel
of about 35 deg. The Texas line was to
follow, as nearly as practicable, the line
of32 deg. Under the new arrangement
the former will bear down TO 80 deg. 80
mill, and the latter up to the same
parallel, making common line to the
Pacific from the place Of meeting.-Sar.
