Spreading.

Evil fashions spread rapidly. This axiom
applies to every sphere, from extravsgsnces
in dress to unlawful innovations in politics.
The Louisiana infamy is, for instance, repro
ducing itself in q certain way In New Hamp'
shire at this time. There, as here, the Re-
publican party appears unwilling to submit
to the verdict of the people, and determined
to hold the reigns Of power, if revolutionary
outrages can secure it to them. 1t may be
purely accidental that 1t is the Republican
party which is now in that attitude, and
ness will be given by the Democrats. We
merely comment ON the fatal facility with
which the unscrupulous knavery of the
carpet-bag government Of Louisiana is
making itself precedentin communities
that had been supposed to be above such
contingencies.
A moral pestilence Of this kind is like q
physical one-the cholera for instance
the germ being once introduced there is no
telling where or when it's ravages will
cease. On this subject we must remark,
however, that o scourge is often sent on ac-
count of the sins of a people, and that a
scourge is not necessarily an extermin alton
No doubt, we of the South have amply
merited the tribulations through which we
have been passing of late years, but they
who have wronged us are not justified be-
cause God made use of their wickedness to
work the ends of his own justice. The
people of the North have grievously
wronged the South in the ungenerous and,
even, malignant manner in which they
have encouraged the devastation of this
section by as graceless a brood of Vandals as
ever stole, plundered and ruined anywhere.
The Northern people may say We did not
do it. No; but your bayonets hedged in
with protection those who did it, and you
owe the whole debt. There is no escaping
it. People cannot do wrong by proxy and
avoid the responsibility because they did
not do it in proper person. They have
mixed a poisoned chalice and made US
taste it; in the usual order of Providence
they will have to drink the rest themselves
Still we are not discouraged for Republic
eauism. Diseases will attack a corporate
body as they will human one, but they
do not always kill, and experience teaches
how to control them. The audacity
which has dared to set aside the popular
vote by chicanery and subterfuge, has done
30 by inventions which are as yet novelty
TO the people. Soon the subject will be
thoroughly understood; the remedy will
be applied the weak spot will have become
| strong, and the ship of State will then be
staupcher than ever, Natural decay can
not have overtaken our system already.

ST.. VINCENT DE PAULs PARIsH.-We are
pleased to hear that the Fair which opened
Saturday evening, May 29th, in st. Vincent's
Hall, has been well pAtronized. Besides the
usual attractions to be found at entertain.
ments of this kind, series of beautiful and
instructive plays, announced for the several
nights, drew large numbers of strangers to the
Hall. While all acted their parts intelli-
gently, we feel that, for superior excellence,
special mention is due to Messrs. A. Steiner, ].
C. Sporl and c. Hawvichorst, members of St
Vincent's Literary Society, who appeared re-
spectively as Alonzo, Pedrillo and Don Vacco,
in the drama entitled "Almanzor, King oil

The programme for the next three nights il
as follows: Saturday evening, "Chinese

ST. srMEoN's.-Last Sunday, the closing
ceremonies of the month of May, were per-
formed in many localities in this city, and
among them all ons of the most beautiful and
impressive scenes was that exhibited at St.
Smepn's Academy. The spacious chapel of
the institution was handsomely decorated and
brilliantly lighted, while all the pupils, from
young ladies down to little girls, were charm
ingly attired as for bridal occasion. num-
Der of children, too small to go to school for the
present, but aspirants for future enrollment'
swelled the train, beautifully crowned with
wreaths that were to be deposited at their
Holy Mothers feet. Father Massardier Off cia-
ted at the altar, music being very creditably
furnished by the larger pupils conducted by
the Sisters.
Que could not assist at such OCCASION
without perceivin9 how deep and imperi sh-
able must be the impressions made upon
young hearts by participating iu scenes like
| this. They perceive that whatever is most
grand aud important is consecrated to God.
Religion, in this as in all exercises con :
nected with their school, presides over
every event, and everything tends to in
vest it with loneliness. In after years, of
course, disappointments will come. Children
! learn . great deal at school, but they can
scarcely ever be taught to realize that life is
but rude trial and that as viewed by the mex.
perienced eyes of childhood it is delusion
So encouragement will come and the weary
eye will wander back along the vista of life to
find some spot of repose. Then the good Sis
ters and the quiet chapel and the sweet
Mother lovingly crowned will rise NJ as though
present and the doubling heart will know that
there is, after all, something pure and true in
life. And this is q point in education worth
ell the rest.

The third procession of ladies of the Church
of the Immaculate Conception to the Jubilee
churches took place last Wednesday evening.
The procession was some six squares in length
and numbered about 500 ladies. They marched
by twos in as orderly manner as any body of
men we ever saw.
Last Sunday evening the procession of the
congregation of the Cathedral, that of the con-
gregation of St. Mary's (Archbishop's) Church,
and that of the sodality of the Blessed Virgin,
took place as usual.
During the week the pupils of the College of
the Immaculate Conception, as also those OF
several Of the parochial schools in the Second
District, visited the Jubilee churches in pro-
cession.

In the notice of the decease of ex-
President johnson it was mentioned
that he was the last of the ex- Presidents,
there being now no survivor of those
who have he'd the Presidential office ex-
.cept the present incumbent, General
Grant. This has not been the case
hitherto since the death of Washington,
who died during the death Of his sue
.cessor, the elder Adams. Through the
whole of Jefferson's administration
Adams was living; during Madison's
eight years, Adams and Jefferson were
alive, aud during the two terms OF Mon
roe, Adams, Jefferson and Madison sur
vived. In the second year Of John
Quincy Adams, Jefferson aud Adams
both died July 4th, 1926, leaving Nadi-
son and Monroe alive. During a part of
%ackson's term there we're three s%urviv-
ing ex-PTesidenis, Madison, Monroe and
Quincy Adams, but as Monroe died in
1881, and Madison. in 1886, there was
but one of Jackson's predecessors alive
at the end Of his second term. Under Van
Buren's administration jackson and
Quincy Adams we're the surviving ex-
Presidents. and both these, with the ad.
dition of Van Buren,, lived through the
terms Of Harrison and Tyler. In the
early months of Folks administration
there we're four living ex.Presidents, but
General Jaekson's decease, June s, l845,
and that of John Quincy Adams in l84S,
left but two survivors at the close OF the
term Of Mr.. Polk. When Taylor was in.
augurated the survivors were Van Bu.
rem, Tyler and Polk, but the decease of
Polk in June, l849, again left but two
surviving ex-Chief Magistrates, and the
same two continued among the living
during the terms OF Taylor and Fillmore.
During Pierce's administration the liy.
ing ex Presidents were Van Buren,, "
Ter and Fillmore; and during Buchanan's
there were four, viz: the three last and
General Pierce. At the beginning of
Lincoln's administration there were FIVE
living ex Presidents; but two Of these.
Van Buren, and Tyler, died in 1862, leav-
ing three to survive until after Lincoln's
own decesse; one Of whom, Buchanan,
died in 1868. but still leaving Pierce and
Fillmore until after the end Of J%obnson's
term. At the commencement Of General
Grants administration, there we're three
survivors, but Of these Pierce died in
October, 1869; Fillmore in March, 1874,
and johnson in July, 1875; thus. for the
first time since Washingion's decease,
leaving no survivor among our seven.

HOME ENTRRPRIsE,

After considerable delay and uncer-
tainty the Directors Of the Exposition
have succeeded in renewing their ground
lease for five years, and decided at q
meeting last night to open the EXPOSE
ton on Wednesday, the 10th Of October.
: A committee of thirteen was appointed
to wait upon the banks, insurance Offices
railroad and steamboat lines and mer-
chants to- solicit subscriptions. Every
business man is aware of the immense
benefits derived from a successful expo
sition By our trade in general. Every
interest is stimulated and directly APP
preciated. To let the Exposition 60 by
default would be to advertise our weak
ness anG inability to hold it. No place
in the world has more vitality ana reeu-
perative power than Memphis. If her
merchants are wanting in anything it is
in a lack of cooperation in public en-
terprises. In this respect, however,
there has been a. marked improvement
within a few years. The business men
have realized the benefits Of combina-
ton most happily through the Chamber
of Commerce and the Cotton Ex-
change. We see Low when a great
enterprise like the elevator or the
Exposition is started they are ready to
fall into line, shoulder to shoulder, and
see it through. Two years ago, or a lit
tie less, Just as the yellow fever dis
appeared, these Directors determined to
hold an Exposition, and it was in q great
measure a success, and under the most
instantaneous circumstances. This
fall our skies are bright. The cool sea.
son has set in early. The city was lev
more healthy at this time Of year. The
merchants are bringing in large stocks
Of cheap goods, money matters are easy,
crops splendid and everybody hopeful.

opportunity, and Memphis trade will

A WHINING p

in the hearts of all honorable men, re-
CARELESS of party. There is nothing in
it that rises to the dignity of an argu

his assertions we're last fall. OF course

that he is willing to relieve the PreRidsnt

he can be allowed TO handle the troops
