Our Seventh Volume has been illustrated
by the adoption of a most liberal policy OF

Rev. F. X. Weninger.

Rev. Father Wenipger, 80 extensively
known as an indefatigable and successful
missionary priest, and a most distinguished
author, is at this time giving mission to
the German population of Carrollton'
Many of the admirers of this eminent
Jesuit writer and apostle are very anxious
that he should give a mission in this city,
but his engagements will not permit it for
more than year to come. On Friday
next he will open a mission in Mobile
leaving New Orleans for that place by the
morning train.
AS Father WeniDger, will pass the pre-
ceeding night at the Jesuit College in this
city, he has kindly consented to give short
instruction on that evening to the mem
bers of the Sodality Of the Blessed Virgin
Mary. This will take place in the Church
of the Immaculate Conception at Z o'clock
in the evening, next Thursday the 10Th
inst. Though the address will not be a
sermon, but merely an instruction as above
said, and though intended primarily for
the Sodality, yet it is to be given in public
in order that any one desiring so to do,
may be present.

Municipal Economy.

We see that the Chamber of Commerce
has been investigating the financial trou-
bes of our city corporation and has eli
cited many suggestions of retrenchment
from a committee appointed to recommend
some method Of relief. 1t is impossible
for prosperity to revisit US while anything
like the present burden of taxation has to
be borne. Men staggering under heavy
load are not very enterprising in casting
about for new Investments.
After all, the real estate of city is a
very important item in it's general ag-
gregate of interests. If property is I'M
productive building stops, repairs stop
improvements stop, the importation of
building material and the traffic therein
idle, mechanics are idle, the vast army of
laborers are more or less idle. Bat idle
ness checks consumption. Men who have no
money buy but little and trade languishes.
The merchant is then affected as well as
the laborer. Then people commence to
seek other locations and empty houses
multiply. Thus the property holder suf
fers with the others and his property is no
longer simply unproductive, it becomes a
heavy burthen.
Now all this sequence of misfortune
starts at the beginning point of high taxes.
After paying too large q per cent of his
income to the Government, the owner has
not enough left to make his property a
paying investment. Then the consequences
follow in the order above indicated, and
after all, the Government suffers equally
with the citizens from the results of its
own improvident policy. The highest
taxation in ruined country is less pro-
duotive than low rate would be in one
that is prosperous and wealthy,
Let us have low taxation. Parks
and promenades, sea-walls and sinking
f1nds are Injuries that can be dispensed
with for the present. Bring back a strong
tide of prosperity and then our fancy
schemes can be carried through without
their burthen being felt.

LEGATION of this beautiful and interesting novel.
On its first appearance in this country, about
three years ago. in the columns of that splen-
did magazine, the Catholic World, it was hailed
with delight by the people of the North, and
received the highest praises from clergy and
laity. The Wor1d-we regret extremely for
the honor of our people to have it to ssy-has
not the large circulation through the South
which its merits deserve; hence, in republish-
ing this story from its columns, we do so in the
fullest confidence that it will be new to forty
nine fiftieths of our readers, and that those
who have read it already will be glad to avail
themselves of this opportunity of reading it
again. -
As showing the scope of the work, its great
popularity in England, and the high esteem in
which the author is held by His Holiness
Pope Plus TX, we copy the Introduction given
it by the World:
The historical romance of Mr.. Keen, now re-
published with the authors most cordial per-

3rd. No one can doubt, not even their
most euamored friends, that if all the
negroes of this country were put off by
themselves and given exclusive possession
of any one State from Maine to Texas or
California, they would there, too, prove an
utter failure in government. Prosperity
would fly from their borders, agriculture
ianguish, arts decline, houses decay,
giving place to huts, and fields grow up
with briars. Keep all white people and
those of mixed blood out of their boundaries
and their Legislation would be a farce, their
jurisprudence an absurdiSy and their reli-
gion Voodooism. Cannibalism would soon
preside over their morals.
4th. What would happen in such case
is evident from what has happened where
they have partial control of the govern
ment Louisiana and South Carolina are
monuments of ruin reared to the senseless
spirit of African suffrage. They who are
totally incapable of self-government by
themselves are just as much 80 when inter
mingled with others who are capable. Their
influence may be partly overcome, but SO
far as it is felt. it is an element of disorder
and weakness.
We hold that of the two following propo-
sitions, the one is self.evident, the other
historically evident, viz: first, negroes are
inferior naturally to white people, and sec
ondly, they arc utterly incapable of self
government, either alone or in company
with otheS races.
Still they have identicalIy the same civil
rights rs all others and ought to be equally
protected by the laws. No doubt attempts
will hereafter be made by their present
friends to discriminate against them by
legislating in favor of capital against labor.
of intelligence against ignorance. When
that time comes they will find their friends
only where all other unfortunates have
always found theirs.

Jury Fees.

1t is to be hoped that in any new scheme
of public economy, the abolition of jury
fees will find a place. paid jury is a
men of industrious habits, are but too glad
to escape from the unpleasant duty of the
jury room, while loafers and semi Migrants
offer themselves willing victims on this
shrine of justice. Where there is one class
always trying to escape, and the other
equally energetic in trying to get caught,
it is easy to perceive what kind of material
will predominant in the jury box.
The professional juror is regular insti-
tuition wherever he gets paid for serving.
To be sure the pay is small, but small as
it is, it far exceeds in value the services
rendered. 1t suffices, too, for the
wants of the day, and your true juror, like
the Neapolitan iazzarone, is easily satis-
fed for the present and cheerfully confident
for the future.
There is but one way of getting rid of
this species of pest, which is to cut off his
pap. Stop pay, aud the professional gang
will disappear as though by magic. Then
respectable and responsible citizens will
have TO act as jurors, because they can
always be caught, while the other gentry
have no obligations which can fix their
locality.
With honest, judicions, intelligent citi-
Gems as its members, jury is, on occasion,
great blessing. 1t is most useful check
on tyrannical prOpensities upon the bench.
But when composed of riff-raff, it becomes
a mere instrument to work the will of the
Judge. Let US have unpaid juries.

Regulations for Lent for the Diocese OF Natchez.

During Lent we allow the of flesh noat
on all days except Wednesdays and Fridays,
the Ember Days and Holy Saturday.
The law o. abstaining from flesh meat is bind
ing on all who arc not exempted by reason of
bad health or neccssity-cven on children,
from the age of seven years; and parents conf
nit mortal sin every time they allow their
children to eat meat when it is forbidden.
All persons are bound to fast who have
reached tho age of twenty-one years, unless
lawfully exempted on account of hard labor
or bad health concerning which they ought
to consult their pastor or confessor, aud accept
from him some other good work to be per-
formed in place Of fasting.
Mothers, either bearing children or sucking
them, would do wrong to fast.
Tho law of fasting requires that person
should not eat moro than one full meal in the
day, and not until midday, or near it.
A collation. may be taken in the evening, but
it should not exceed the fourth part of an
ordinary dinucr, or ut most eight ounces.
When meat is allowed on week days in Lent,
persons who are bound to fast cannot meat
except at tho one principal meal. On Sundays
it may be used ut every meal.
1t is not allowed to eat flesh and fish ut the
same meal in Lent-not even on Sundays.
In the morning, the drinking of coffee, etc,
is not forbidden, but there is no permission to
eat, unless it be little that the law is not
presumed to notice it.
Sometimes, also, persons whose health or
occupations would not allow them to fast
vigorously, may, by eating small amount, be
enabled to observe the fast in part. In such
cases it is laudable.

of the South.

Some of our daily papers nave frequently,
during the present session of the Kellogg
Legislature, called attention to the an
tagonism said to exist between the blacks
and whites holding membership in that
body. At the North, popular sentiment
has always been very hostile to the negro.
OF late years, indeed, the Republican party
has seen fit to pet him up as an instrument
ofsectional oppression ndparty supremacy,
but recently it seems to have grown sick
Of him even as an ally. Northern intoler-
ance cannot be repressed much longer and
those laws and Constitutional amendments
which have been enacted for his benefit
will probably be swept away before hur-
ricane of popular disgust.
We protest in advance against the excess
to which we foresee this reaction will 20.
The negro is docile and kindly by nature
and the antagonism between him and the
white race is altogether artificial. It is due
to the insidious counseis of certain white
Adventures who practice on the credulity
of the blacks to effect their own selfish
purposes. Once rid of these vermin and
our people would find the negro quite I'M
pretentious and free of insolence, except in
the case of certain ambitious half breeds
who were once slaves.
From one extreme to the other is a ma
tural process. From giving the negro more
than his rights the American people will
easily fall into the opposite extreme and
accord him less than his rights. Now they in

degrade him to virtual slavery. AS usual
with the unfortunate of every class and
race, his only real friend and refuge will
hc found to be the Catholic Church That
church will not, like the Republican party,
overdo the matter at first aud then react in
a fit of disgust.
Without speaking in any manner for the
church or by virtue of her authority, we
think that politicians have gone too far, in
giving suffrage TO tho negro, and our reason
is this Suffrage is an instrument of self.
