sion. This assumption of Jurisdiction vir-
tually gives the Administration the forma
ton of State governments as ehectually az
the pretext Of not allowing blood to be
shed. Let it have the right to say that one
faction has as much apparent title as the
other, so as to GUST the one in possession,
as in this case of Baxter, on pretence of
impartiality, and it's own favorite will be
sure to triumph.
The only rule in these matters, for the
General Government, by which the indie
pendence and existence Of the States can
be guaranteed, is to decide instantly al.
ways, and to decide by appearances only.
The party in possession must be recognized
as the government, if it obtained that
possession peaceably and without the in
tervention of outside power, such as that
Of the Federal Government or of another
State. If the Administration hesitates in
this, it is usurper and destroyer of
American liberties.

Our Local Pilgrimage.

Last Sunday witnessed the opening OF
the novena of Pilgrimages, the first of the
series taking place at st. Mary's Church,
commonly known as the Archbshop's. The
weather was the worst we remember
having ever encountered on q Sunday, but
the church was crowded from morning till
night, especially at the time of the sermon
Indeed, we have been told, that at times
the crowd inside was so dense as to pre-
vent visitors from entering. The little
church was beautifully decorated and
lighted, and seemed redolent with that
spirit of devotion, which seems to linger at
all times within its sacred precinct.
To-day the Church of the immaculate
Conception is the one designated for the
Pilgrimage, and we doubt not that repe-
tition of the devout scenes of last Sunday
will be witnessed at it's shrine, no matter
how inclement the day. The sermon will
be preached in English, at O'Clock p. NJ.
followed by Benediction aud the recital of
the prescribed prayers
For the benefit of those who NAV wish to
make their visit at some other hour, we
add that the prayers to be read by them
consist of the +htserere and the Parce
Do"''ne, the latter three times. For those
who cannot read, FIVE Our Fathers and five
Hail Mary's are substituted. These devo-
tlons must be made in the appointed
and on the designated days, at
least six times out of the nine. They must
besides be complied with she three other
times also, though it may be at some other
place.

ARCHBIsH0PRIC OF NEW ORLEANS.

The pitiful condition In which many of ouI
citizens find themselves, owing to the overflow
of the river, imposes upon us duties which we
should fulfill Immediately. While asking as
sistance from our fellow citizens in other
States, we should, ourselves, do all that lies in
our power to relieve our brothers. And when
We say our brothers we mean all those who
suffer. For charity embraces all men in it's
benefcent action, and makes no distinctions.
Although there is in this city much suffering
which we must not neglect, we are not, how
ever, exposed to the famine which now threat
ems the inundated districts and which is
already felt in several places we are not
reduced to that extreme of depriv alton in which
30 many families, who have literally lost ALL
find themselves.
We, therefore, appeal to all Catholics, to
the end that each, according to his abilities,
may take part in this work of religion and
charity. The Rev. Pastors in the city and in
the country districts which have not been
reached by the flood, should impress upon
their Practitioners their obligation to come
eficacieusly to the relief of the victims of the
inundation. Whatsoever the faithful may de-
sire to offer for this object can be placed in
the hands Of the Rev. Pastors who will un
dertake to deliver all, by the surest and most
expeditions means. to the committees charged
with the distribution Of relief

Fairs.
wor k.

We reprint from the Republican the fol.
lowing choice moroccan, for the purpose OF
exemplifying the old saying save me
from my friends"
THE CHURCH FA1R.-We have received a
polite note from our old and revered friend
Rev. Father Moynihan, asking us to call at,
| tention to the fair now being held for the
benefit of his church on Dryades street Upon
mature reflection, however, we have conclud-
mend to public patronage the worthy fathers
enterprise. The fair is for the purpose of
raising funds to be used in uphoste1ing and
decorating the church. The church is as il
stands, one of the finest in the CITY, and
| through the gates of none can the narrow
road be easier trod. All over our State, distress
Thousands of families are homeless and pen
niless and starving. There are then, higher
claims upon our community than that of an
eighty thousand dollar church for additional
painting and gliding.
Friends ought to be more circumspect
than to make such grave mistakes to the
detriment of those for whom they profess
such reverence and esteem. We NAV not
be as familiar with the details of Father
Moynihan's intentions as the editor of the
Republican, but common rumor SAYS, ard
we believe it, that the fair is held for no
such end at ali as that asserted by the
"otficial organ y that there is no question
of "uphostering" or "decora,iug," but
simply of paying pressing debts. The
whole object of the entertainment, as we
have understood, is to make payments
without which the "eighty thousand dollar
church" would be in danger of passing
from the hands of the priest to IL se of the
sheriff.
We know that all Republican principles
are shocked by this transaction. In the
first pluce, according to the cherished ira.
ditions and customs of that party, Father
Moynihan or any one else that gets hold
of money ought to keep it, and not be 30
stupid as to invest it in magnificent works
of public improvement such as "eightv
thousand dollar churches" let alone &C =.
tually going in debt for them. In the Sc
cond place, once fairly in debt the genuine |
Republican way of getting ont is by repudi |
alton as recently exhibited by our Own |
State Government. AS for the "gaunt arms
of Distress" we are satisfied that Governor
kellogg and President Grant will take
care of the negroes, and the Republicans
philanthropy goes no farther than that.
Again:
We knew the Fair is a jolly place to spend
an evening at The champagne and irish
WHISKY punches, the exciting games of chance
and the Fascinating Establishments of the at
tendant maidens, form o Gordon of attractions
hard for young men to break through. There
IS doubtless profound philosophy in compel
ling the minor and pleasanter of our social
vices to stand as handmaidens by the side of
religion, and forcing them to minister to the
'ause OF virtue 1t is, therefore, with a senti- ,
nent of lingering regret that We are forced to

as usual, owing, perhaps, to the heavy rains

father knew that there had been some
thing up, and as he knew that John was
thoughtful boy and not up TO any thing
wrong, he willingly granted him per
mission. John was ready to go in day
or two. lie hunted all over the city foI
the 'vagabonds," as he called them, and
had about given up finding them, when
one evening he was taking his accus-
toned walk and saw n girl stick her
head up above the window sill, and
an old woman jerk her down. lie had
just glimpse Of her. but he had seen
her long enough TO satisfy him that she
was the girl for whom he was looking.
lie went TO his boarding house, dis
guised himselfas a chimney sweep, and
slipped mp 10 where he had seen the
girl. He knocked several times but
received no answer; he then tried TO
open the door but could not; he then
hid behind an old box. lie did not wait
long till one Of the men which he had
seen out at Fillmore came up. lie had
d night-key and opened the door and
went in and said her father had offered
reward of $4,000 for her return, and
$4,000 for the arrest Of the thieves.
This is a good thing for me" said the
man.
John left now and went to his board
ing house, exchanged his disguise for his
proper clothes, and went to the head of
the police for an officer, and arrested the
man and got the girl. They could not
find the whereabouts of the other man.
That evening John took the 4 o'clock
train. and the next morning at day light
was at Fillmore. Thenext days papers
contained the great discovery of the
young daughter OF Captain Hargrave.
Captain ii. came down with the re-
ward OF $4,000, with which John fin
ished his education. lie often went uli
TO the city TO see Mr.. IIargra,e's.
Twenty years have now elapsed, and
John has married the girl who he had
such an adventure with. Jim married
Johns sister. They both live in the
city, and are in partnership in a large
store. John takes care of his nice little
wife as we'll as husband can.
This tale shows what boy can do
when he tries.
