Knock off This Chip.

Ulysses the great, stands before the
Louisiana people in the attitude of big
boy with q chip on his head daring a little
urchin to knock it off, The old fellow
came in at the tail end of great war,
where he had nothing to do but walk over
the track, and now he thinks he can whip
all creation. He is especially anxious to
fight Louisiana. Won't somebody knock
the chip off his hat
We think not. If Grant himself would
come down here at the head Of II reason
able number of the most distinguished ra
dical knaves of congressional and official
circles, he could perhaps get accommoda-
ted. But unfortunately in the attitude which
he maintains he represents the United
States, and our people have neither the
intention nor the inclination to fight the
general government. Mr.. Grant may as
we'll abandon all hope Of inveiglipg this
State into 80 transparent an absurdity as a
o collision with the Federal troops.
No wonder, however, that he keeps up
the effort with kind of desperation, for
it is his only hope of retaining power. A
war in Louisiana Who can tell what OPP
portuuities it would bring him what a new
lease, and perhaps a permanent one, of
power ,it would confer3 Therefore the
army stays here; therefore he talks in
sultingly and menacingly of what he will
do therefore he decrees in advance that a
proud and independent people must pre-
pare to submit to partizan Returning
Board, no matter how flagrantly it may
disregard the real verdict of the polls.
Well, we will show him that spirited
people can be also a prudent people. We
will submit to the irresistible force of
q. S. bayonets if arrayed against us. As
bad as the times are, as fearful as the op
preston is, as hard as taxation and poverty
and decay bear upon us all, we will know
how to wait. Patience is not incompatible
with honor. To the patient man belongs
the victory.

The Presidents Message.

This long, rambling document of the
President has been before the public for
some days, and we can find nothing in it
worthy of reproduction. 1t exhibits
strength in but one place, and that is where
Louisiana is mentioned. His Excellency's
venom is as strong as ever, but If there Is
any other strength, we are unable to perceive
it, He is determined to keep his iron heel on
the neck of this State, until an-indignant
national protest shall teach him that human
ity still exists and that tyranny has its
limits.
The President finds it natural that the
negro population should attach itself to
that political party which contains its
friends. We need not say that he
begs the question. 1t is a mere assertion
on the other hand it may just as well
be asserted that the Republican party is
friendly to the negro merely because the
negroes have Joined its ranks. AS long as
the colored people are unanimous, or nearly
SO, in their allegiance to that party it will
be their professed friend, but if they were
divided between the two parties, where
would they find their best friendsf Does
any one believe that it would be among
the Republicans If so, and if he could give
his reasons for it, it would be more than
| the President has done.
AS fertile as the Chief Magistrate is in
finding means to carry out his Louisiana
Policy, he is very barren of expedienti
in the matter of resuming specie pay
ments. He claims to be almost al
rabid on the latter question as on til,
former. He thinks decidedly that we ough
to resume specie payments, but not SO soor
as in January 1876. When, then There h'
is sphynx. Nothing definite. No re
turning board there to be sustained in II,
matter what outrage upon popular free
dom.
The fact is that His Excellency is only
financial tinker and the less he .tinkers th
currency question the better for every body
If he and his Cabinet will only let it alone
greenbacks will naturally reach the pa
= value in two or three years, when nobod
f will thank him for returning to specie pay
) ments.

The folio wing is an extract from q psmph
entitled "The Question of Erecting a Temp
for the Freemasons," published in Geneva
the year 1856, by II. Prusson, member of q
Masonic order. 1t is a synopsis of Masou
principles. 1t can easily be seen how utter
impossible it is to be Christian aud Masd
at the same time; how sinfol it is to believe
Masonry, and how wrong the Church of Chi
would be if she did not most severely col
denim it:
"Only ignorant and common people bels1
that Masonry is merely society whose obF1
is entertainment OF mutual assistance. Era
masonry is a worship, a religion, which d
even acknowledges the most fundame1H
truths of Christianity as leading principd
Religion and politics for us flow from q
true religion it dispenses with all other ra
gions. 1t would be grave mistake not to \
leve this. Yet great many Masons laa
under this mistake however, they are od
simple and but little-informed men. Becad
they are not required to renounce their OF
religion, they do not believe that they enH
into q religious society. This is q very seri1
error they enter into an eminently religid
society. Freemasonry comprises all that %
stitutes true religion; at the came time
theological and metaphysical reveries
foreign to it, and it cares but little for u
revelations or the miracles and dogmas Of
different religions. Revelations are only ms1
through the evolutiOns of the aniuerse, q
through the development of the understle
ing. FLeemasonry indeed Acknowledges q
as the groundwork of its principles To Y
work, then, Masons! Let us propagate a
principles, that are purer than those OF
Gospel"

Eve members; Catholic Young Mems Society,
forty members; Society of the Immaculate

Inauguration of St. Patrick's Hall.
GRAND CONCERT FOR THE INFANT ASYLUM.

AS heretofore announced in these col
umns, the Inauguration OF the magnificent
new st. Patrick's Hall will positively take
place next Thursday evening. Not only
is the Hall ready, but we learn from Mr.'
John Henderson,, Vice President of the
Association, that over thirtyfve hundred
chairs have been received aud are. now in
their proper places, aud that as early as
Wednesday next every ythng will be in
perfect order for the reception of the thou
sands who will grace, with their presence,
the Inauguration on Thursday.
From the first it was the intention of the
Managers to have a lecture or. concert on
the opening night, and it was happy in
spiration, and one fully in accord with
their generous impulses, which caused then
to make the occasion one of profit to that
noble institution, the Infant Asylum. We
sincerely hope that, considering the grand
eur of the occasion, the great worthiness OF
the object, and the distinguished talent OF
the amateurs who are to perform, our gen.
erous public will respond literally to the
call now made upon them, and that Thurs
day evening will witness such a gathering
in st. Patrick's Hall as was never before
seen in this city.

Diocese Of Natchez.
CIRCULAR FOR THE CHRISTMAS COLLECTION FOR
THE ORPHANS.

Reverend and Dear Sir Please remind your
congregation beforehand, of the collection to
be taken up on Christmas Day for the Orphan
Asylums of the Diocese.
The prevailing distress has been doubly
felt this year by the devoted Brothers and
Sisters W no ore taking care of our destitute
children.
The number of the inmates of the Asylums
has been somewhat reduced, owing partly to
your zeal in finding charitable families TO take
charge of the orphans near them, instead of
sending them to the Asylums.
But on the other hand the receipts last year
from our Fair, and from other sources were SO
much less than in previous years-that even
the diminished number could not be adequate
ly provided for.
Both Asylums still in debt for provisions
already consumed and they are destitute of
means to obtain what is needed for the winter.
| Please, then, make an earnest appeal to the
hearts of fathers and mothers-who know not
but their own offspring may one day be need
| ing the charity of their neighbors,-to the
hearts of all Christians, who contemplate on
| Christmas morning, the Son of God become a
poor child in q cold stable,-to make us love
poor children for the love Of Him.
May His blessing be on you and on all your
| flock,
