Thus far the Bartlett movement, as it
is called, has been judiciously managed
and the prospects of complete success
at the ballot box are most encouraging.
The platform is broad and comprehen-
sive enough to meet the views of all
good citizens without regard to their
national politics. 1t only remains now
to be seen whether the people will turn
out on the 25th of June and elect fair
minded men as delegates, and whether
these delegates will prove equal TO the
dignity and importance of the occasion
by selecting first.class ticket. Such
ticket will sweep the county. But
there is steady work for the sub commit
tees to do until the election is over.

Fair for St. John the Bap.ist's Church.

The attendance at this place of entertain.
! ment during the past week, with the exception
of Thursday evening when the rain threatened
| to pass over our thresholds, was SO large that
one desiring to reach the other end of the ball
would have to use a certain amount of elbow
power. And it was such good natured crowd
There was no getting angry with it. Every
face had CHEEKY smile, every mouth pleas
ant word, and NO pocket was shut SO tight but
the fair young solicitors would manage to Sc
cure votes for favored candidates, or chances
in the rattle of some beautiful article Though
it harmonized n whole, one could see that
different portions of it were endeavoring to
bring about different results. Some were
DESTROYS of seeing Father c. Moynihan the

watch and chain; while no less number were

came sphynx-puzzle which of the two
would eventually get the watch. This fact is
unqnestionable, whichever reverend gen tieman
secures it will have to pay pretty heavily, and
the Fair will, ON this count alone, realize q
handsome sum.
Besides this, the general topic of the Fair,
theFer Is q 8ptftted movement set on foot by
Messrs. T. j. sFinney, p. J. Sullivan, H. B.

greatly benefits the Fair, which needs all that
will be done for it, much as that may be-

knows. SO lot no ono say, /" 1t gets on well |
enough without me. My pittance will not be

A like declaration from many persons, and
like withholding of pttanccs would deprive
the Fair of quite sum. Those who have
gone should make final call, and those who
have not, should not leave themselves open to
the reproach of having failed to make single
visit. Remember, all the help that can be
given will be needed. The Fair will close,
Monday night, when the contest be-
tween Fathers Kenny and Moynihan will be
lec:ded.

tant of honor and fortitude, and in their dark
est hour, never ceased to command the respect
and admiration of mankind. Tho survivors
of that approved band can we'll afford to look
the world in the face and fear no reproach.
The deeds, the glory of which they share with
their dead comrades, are inscribed on tablets
more enduring than iron or stone, the tablets
of mems memories ar Learts and with the
calm serenity that SO a. ?rnpriately marks the
pose of that marble figure they can bide an
Interior judgment.
All honor to our noble women! Theirs was
the harder part, and its hardship ceased not
with the closing of the bloody drama yet
nobly have they sustained their burden. To
suffer, and again to suffer, is their portion to
lose irreparably, and appreciate that loss is
their Inheritance; yet, it is not in vain. Such
lessons as are taught by this monument and
the example of those under whose auspices it
was erected, will endure longer than tn TO- onu-
ment ITSELF and will stand as an everlasting
incentive and encouragement, illustrating and
teaching the beauty of adherence to principle
and the nobility of constancy in suffering.

The Now Civil Rights Bill.
A VERY IMPORTANT QUESTION.

The substitute for Mr. Summers Civil Rights
Bill, reported by the Judiciary Committee of
the Senate, provides that all persons within
the jurisdiction of the United States shall be
entitled to full and equal enjoyment of inns,
public conveyances on land and water, thea
tres and other places of public amusement
and also of common schools and public insti-
tutlons OF learning or benovolence, supported
in whole or in part by general taxation, and of
cemeteries, SO supported, subject only to the
conditions and limitations established by law
and applicable alike to citizens Of every race
and color, regardless of any previous condition
OF servitude. Any person denying to any
citizen any of the privileges conferred
by the bill, shall pay $500 to the person
aggrieved, and shall also be deemed guilty of
a misdemeanor, and upon scpBtictienstAe
shall be fined not less $500 or more than $1,000
or be imprisoned not less than thirty days nor
more than one year. The District and Circuit
Courts of the United States are given, exclu-
siye of the courts of the several States, cogni-
zance of all offences against the bill and ac-
tions may be prosecuted in any United States
court wherever the defendant may be found
without regard to the other party. Any Dis
trict Attorney who shall wilfully fail to prose-
cute the proceedings required shall, for every |
such offence, forfeit and pay the sum of $500
to the person aggrieved, and upon conviction |
thereof be guilty of a misdemeanor, and be
fined not less than $1,000 nor more than $5OOO |
No citizen shall be disqualified for service as
grand or petit juror in any State or United
States court on account of race, color or pre-
vious condition of servitude; and any officer
who shall exclude or foil any citizen for that
cause shall be fined not more than $4,000. All
cases arising under the act may be reviewed
by the Supreme Court of the United States.

Ladies' Monument to the Soldiers of the Confed or
ate Army.

An immense throng congregated at Green
wood Cemetery on the afternoon of Friday the
10th inst, to witness the dedication of this
tribute from the living to the dead. The
monument stands in one of the most COM
handing positions in the cemetery on the left
of the main avenue aud looks to the South
Based upon a mound some eight or ten feet
high, stands q pillar of pure white marble
nine feet in height, which is surmountcd By
the marble figure of Confederate soldier of
full life size, equipped for marching and lean
ing on his musket at parade rest. The four
sides of the pillar, at its base, ornamented
with the marble busts of Lee, Jackson, sgd
ney Johnston and Polk. Our ladies consti-
tuted the major portion of the large assem-
blage, and when listening to the eloquence
called forth by the occasion, it was plain to
see that motive far more powerful than or
binary curiosity, feeling much moro intense
than that which usually actuates congregations
of people had led them to that lovely and
hallowed spot.
The simplicity of design, most faithfully ex-
ecuted by the artist, the absence of all effort
at ostentation, and the air of complete repose
that pervades the whole work, speak to the
heart at once and impress the beholder with
sense OF Its perfect adaptation as memorial
of dead heroes and an emblem of the unfal-
tering devotion of Southern women. Like the
country for which they died, this marble repre-
sentative of the soldiers of the South stands
alone. As history will depict the Confederscy
to future generations, solitary among nations,
and uncheered by helping hand
or encouraging word, SO stands this lonely
figure perpetual suggestion of the self-sus-
tanning valor and constnncy of the soldiers of
the Confederate army. War-worn and de-
pleted, surrounded and overpowered, they re.
gatned thht dignity which q eyer thoqoreomi-

St. Michael's Fair.

We are happy to state that this Fair has
been well patronrzed during the week. Even
on Thursday night, when the rain fell in tor
rents, enough was made to pay the running
expenses.
This, Sunday night, the counting of votes
in the minor contests will be commenced 80 as
not to interfere with operations relating to
the grand contests" These, it will be re-

between Messrs. VIM. H. Deeves, P Lecourt
| and j. Batson second, for the gold watch and
chain, Misses Kate Harris J. Cunningham and
S. Redmond contestants and third, for the
fine row-boat, between the rowing clubs
The friends of the young ladies in the
contest for the watch are all working
assiduously for their favorites and, no
doubt, each will poll a large vote. On the
contest for the horse and buggy, however, the
success of the Fair principally depends. This
fact the energetic young gentlemen contestants
and their friends appreciate, and conseq uently
no effort on their part is wanting. The victor
will surely have cause to feel proud of his
triumph, as the possession of this really fl ne
prize will be honorable and indisputable
evidence of the zeal and liberality of the
owner, the generosity of his friends and the
lively interest which our citizens take in edu-
cational matters. These contests will proba-
bly, be decided Tuesday night, when, we under

PRESENTATION. - Last Tuesday, at St.
Peters school, there occurred a very pleasing
incident illustrative of gratitude-that mem
DRY of the heart. About a week previous the
pupils of the school got intimation of the fact
that the principal, Mr.. T. J. O'Snllivan, in
tended to resign, his position as secretary of
the Homestead Association necessitating him
SO to do. They determined his retirement
should not take place without some expression
of their esteem and affection. Accordingly
they made up purse, and with it purchased a
most beautiful silver watch, which they pre-.
sented him, with an accompanying address
So secretly had the measure beea taken aud
acted upon, that not only Mr. O'Sulivau bad
not the slightest intimation of it until the
proper moment, but even The majority Of the
students in his class we're entirely ignorant OF
any such proceeding being foot. The re-
cipient was effectively surprised, to the great
qualification of the original movers and prin-
eipal actors in the eeene, Masters. n Hoey,
y. Bell D. O'eonnsll and John FannIn.

Here, as in almost every other instance
where Catholic church aud school exist both
together, the body of the church is reserved
for the accommodation of the scholars at some
of the Sunday Masses. Too much we
think, cannot be said in support or in praise
of this beautiful feature of the teaching an
therity of the Church.
