Society Of St. Vincent de Paul.

| The Quarterly Communion of the mem bers
OF this Society took place last Sunday, at
o'clock Mass, at the Cathedral, about one hun
dred and fifty members being present. His
Grace, the Most Rev. Archbishop celebrated
Mass, and after the first Gospel, expressed his
qualification at seeing SO many men receive
Holy Communion. He said that he hoped this
very edifying spectacle would have a bene-
fetal effect upon the members of the conrrepa-
tion. In the evening, at o'clock, the genersl
meeting of the Society was held in the Morn
ing Star Hall, and was about as we'll attended
as was the Mass in the morning. Very Rev. G.
Raymond, V. G., and Father NJ. Robinson, of the
Order of the Holy Cross, houored the meeting
with their presence.
From the reports of tho several Conferences
OF the city Tor the quarter ending December
81, 1872, which were read by the Secretary, we
made the following synopsis: Conferences exist
in twelve parishes, rs follows: In the First Dis
trict: st. Patrick's, ST. Josephs, st. Johns, St,
Iberesas and St. Michael's = in the Second
District; st. Mary's (Archbishop's) and St.
Anae's; in the Third District: Administration.
st. Peters and st. V'ncent's in the Fourth
District: st. Alphonsus' and st. Francis The
total number of members in all the Confer
ences Is 29l the average attendance at tue
weekly meetings being ls0. 121 poor families
composed of 455 persons, were on the relief
roll on the last day of the year. During the
is, from October LIST to December
3lst-the relief given amounted to $1,000.
Tho Presidents of the Special Works of the
Society then read their reports. OF these
wsrks We can, at present, make no mention,
excepting so far as to state that at ST. Vincents
Home, on Bienville street, from ninety to one
hundred boys have been cared for and instruct
ed, ut an average cost to the Society of about
$500 month.
Father Raymond then addressed the men, |
oers' congratulating them upon the good they
had already accomplished, and exhortinr them
to perseverance,.

Our Troubles.

at - o'clock last Tuesday night the 7th Pre-

| Guilty of any kind, the police force there being
very small, as the station was considered of
little Importance, being way up in Jefferson
| City. On Wednesday night, at about 3 O'clock
| party of men, numbering some three
| hundred, marched into Jackson Square in
! front of the Cathedral, and then filing to the
| right posted themselves Immediately in front
of the Second District Central Station house
from which position they commenced o brisk
fire upon the police stationed therein The no
lice responded, and for few minutes lively
fire was kept up by both parties. Seeing that
the militia in the Square were greatly exposed.
having no protection whatever whereas the
police were we'll protected by the thick walls
of the station house, their commander march
ed them to a position in front of the Cattle
drai where that building protected them from
the fire of the police. Patrols were then sent
out in different directions, o large body being
posted at the corner of Toulouse and Chartres
street. About % o'clock Gen. Badger, with
eighty men armed with Winchester rifles, and
one twelve pound Napoleon gun, marched
down Chartres street from Canal, and upon
reaching st. Louis street, opened fire. The
cannon was fred three times, and for a few
moments the rife balls flew down the street
in lively manner.
OF course this dispersed tho opposite party,
the larger portion of whom were unarmed
spectators. While this fight was progressing
General Smith, of the u. S. army, called upon
Col WagGaman, who was commanding at the
Square, and demanded, in the name of the
U. s. the dispersion of the men. Col Wagga-
man Immediately gave the necessary orders
and in short time the men had all dispersed,
The result of this unfortunate conflict was the
killing of Young man named Hartman and
the wounding of some dozen others. At one
o'clock Thursday morning the police recap-
tured the 9Th Precinct station, which was
guarded by about 20 men. About dozen
shots were here fired, resulting in the death of
a young man named Kendrick Chandler and |
the wounding of another named Livaudais
At II o'clock Thursday a detachment of no |
lice took possession of Odd Fellows Hall where 7
the Fusion Legislature held its sessions, cap

members who where imprisoned in the com
mon cells at the Station for two hours Since
This time all has remained quite and the police

TIE Posi- OFFICE DEFALCATIoN We stated
last week that Postmaster Lowell and his
cashier, Douglas, had been arrested by the II
s. authorities for embezzling $4,000 of the
Government funds. 1t now appears, as the
following paragraph from the Timcs will show,
that the defalcation will amount to about
100000:
So far as is now positively known, the trouble
IN the money-order department alone amounts
TO Sl7,o0o. IN stamps, newspaper POSTAGE ETC.,
a rough estimate by Col. Hays places the def
CIT at $351OOO more. In addition to this, it has
been found that the quarterly returns of re-
ceipts for newspaper postage during the past
gear show an average deficit of $4,000 each
These amounts charged directly to MT.
Douglas, cashier. The officers engaged in the
case say our Post-office appears to have been
the worst managed that ever came beueath
their notice. It's Irregularities its disorder and
IT'S mismanagement are simply horrible and
this retards the investigation, and renders the
summing up so difficult. Not a dav nnsses

try postmasters speaking of remittances for
Warded by them, and for which no credit an
pears on the books of the Post office scarcely
a step is taken in the inquiry whish does not
reveal some hitherto unknown leak by which
the funds of the Government have been esca-
ping. Appearances now indicate that tho de-
ialcatIon will run up to $4,000, if not more.
And such will always be the case SO long as
party influence and political services. not
honesty and intelligence, are the only recon-
mendations for Office.

Young ladies have but little idea of the
lmpoliteness and bad effect of the slang
phrases often used in ao-caiied polite 40.
oiety. An exchange says, in a word of ad
vice to any who are partially or wholly ad-
dicted to it: "You have no idea how Il
sounds to ears unused or averse to it to hear
young lady say, when she is asked if she
VIII! go with you some place, 'Not much p

does not wish, to hear her say, Can't see
At. Not long ago heard young miss who
is educated and accomplished, in speaking
OF young man, say that she intended to
go for him" And, when her sister asked
her assistance ut some work, she answered
Not torJoe" Now, young ladies of unex-
cePtlonal character aud really good educa-
ton fall into this habit, thinking it shows
smartness to answer back in slang phrases:
and they soon slip fippantly from their
tongues with n saucy pertness that is
neither ladylike nor becoming. Il bet,' or
you bet is bad enough among men who
are trading horses or land but the con
trast is startling and positively shocking
to hear those words issue from the lips Of
a young lady. They seem at once to sur
round her with the rougher association of
mems daily life, and bring her down from
the pedestal of purity to their own coarse
level"

Col. GEORGE CLARK.-The daily papers
have already noticed in an ample manner
the decease Of this gentleman, so thor
oughly known in this community and for 80
many years identified with it's affairs. Be-
fore the war Col. Clark was captain of the
original "Contirental," company which in
our military parades always attracted its
full need of observation and praise. Upon
the breaking out of the war this organiza-
ton expanded into n regiment with the
subject of our sketch az Colonel and as such
he was for q time engaged in active services
in the field. Even after circumstances had
terminated his active military career, he
remained in the Confedracy, sharing in it's
fortunes. His services in the municipal
government of the city are well known to
most of our citizens.
Col. Clarke and his estimable lady, whose
death followed his own after an interval of
only two or three hours, were both Catho-
lies. 1t is thought that the knowledge of
his death greatly precipitated fatal issue
in her case, as no Immediately serious re-
suit was anticipated from the maladv I'M
der which she was suffering.
His good lady had followed his fortunes
throughout the war, and their long and
afectionate unioni5not suspended by'tkat
event, was scarcely severed even by death.
The SPLENDID funeral procession which
public esteem furnished for his obsequies.
was headed by two hearses.

Persecution in this AGE.

The Cincinnati Telegraph thinks that thu
spirit of persecution against Christianity
is defining itself more and more clearly il
tue cry for compulsory education. Pro
testantism finding itself losing grount
everywhere where it comes in compete
ton with the church on any thing like
equal terms, has grown desperate. The
intervention of secular power can alone
save it for while logger. But how ap.
ply it'll Burning Christians at the stake IL
out of fashion. So, also, confiscating thei,
property in a direct manner and in fact
all direct modes of persecution are dis
countehanced by tho present within OF
the age as being antiquated. This insane
| conviction of the 18th century that it is
better than previous centuries, that it is
more humane and enlightened and knows
better than to persecute, constitutes en-
idiosy ncracy that must be respected. 1t
may not last long, it is true, like the within
of a mailman who hides a knife behind his
back while he is assuming the character of
a philanthropist, but while it does last it is
necessary to fatter its humors.
The spirit of persecution, then, which
calls itself Protestant sm in one camp and
Infdelity in another, combines its forces,
takes counsel among it's leaders and engen:
ders tho grand scheme of compulsory edu-
cation. This is expected to fiatter the
vanity of the age by it's guse of intel
1ectual culture, while in reality, if carried
into operation, it will materially arrest the
progress of Christianity by stealing away
its children. 1t is, in fact, grand scheme
of kidnapping.
Is the XIX century going to be gulled in
this wayf
The Catholic Telegraph says that the
Cincinnati Gazette "a Sectarian paper) ad-
vocates the system of compulsory educa-
cation on the ground, expressly and openly
that it will injure the Catholic
Church. 1t admits, says the Telegraph, that
the system will not produce any social or
moral benefit, on the contrary it gives stat
istics from Ward Island showing that three
fourths of the prisoners had been largely
crammed with what is called education.
Still the Ga-ette enthusiastically favor |
the scheme as being powerfully anti Cath
olic..
The Telegraph warns the advocates of
this new ism" that their plan ia ono
which must be resisted by Catholics even
20 death. They cannot submit, to it any
more than to the ahjuration of their faith.
Says the Telegraph:
If a law be ever passed in this country fore
ng Catholic children into the common schools
catholics will not have to wait long for adj
ice from us. We shall admonish them to
protect their children from this hell that
awns for them, by the physical strength
hem, that it can be employed in no boiler
ause. We shall encourage them if necessary,
o slay upon their threshold the official that I
ONES in the name of any such law, to destroy {
he souls which they are bound to protect at ,
he cost of their own lives. We are threaten
d f; we forewarn our persecutors-the mad
len, who in pulpit and press, are bounding on ,
ompulsory education.
