LETTER FROM vIcKsBuRe, MISS.

VICKsBURG, MISS, June 16, 1875.
Editor Morning Star and Catholic Messenger:
Last Sunday, the third procession of the
Jubilee took place; it occupied space of
some two or three squares The procession
formed at the Convent of the Sisters of Mercy.
First came the sodality of the Infant Jesus
tgislel carrying a, besutifal banner then the
IiliStl8 6oys; these were followed by the Sodali-
ties of the Holy Angels and the Blessed Virgin
Mary; after which came Father Matthew's
Total Abstinence Society. A large number of
the ladies and gentlemen of the congregation
Joined this procession.
The first visit was made to the Convent
Chapel, the second aud third visits to St. Paul's
Church after which we attended Vespers and
Benedicton. The procession then formed
again to pay the fourth visit, to theConvent
Chapel, as here we have but one church and
one convent. Then followed Benediction for a
second time; after which the crowd dispersed
to their respective homes.
On Monday evening, June 14th, the young
girls of the Angels Sodality gave very nice
entertainment at the Convent of Mercy. A
large number of people attended this enter
tainment, which was held in the open air. The
stage was erected on the Convent grounds,
aho llSutS "eTo ulSpeT6eu mere ana
there among the trees; this, with the beauti-
full costumes of the young girls, made it ap-
pear more like fairy dream than reality.
The first part of the performance consisted
of vocal and instrumental music, after which
a very interesting little drama was performed,
called 1.-THE Angels Lament" The young girls
in this piece acted their parts perfectly.
The second part was commenced with comic
play, called "Going to the Springs" which was
amusing as the other was beautiful Each
and every one of the young girls did their parts
to perfection but 1 can scarcely refrain from
mentioning in a special manner Miss w.
Wright, who took the part of the old lady.
No one could have done it better. The per-
Torrance ended with music and singing, all of
which was beautiful The Sisters deserve
great credit for the orderly manner in which
every thing was conducted. B.

and execute justice They did not enforce the
laws; they corrupted the judiciary; they
played upGerupulously upon the ignorant fears
of the blacks and upon their newborn cupi-
dity; they used remorseessy the vilest tools
for the viiess purposes; they encouraged dis
order, so that they might the more effectua ally
ern people for help to maintain them in the
places they SO grossly aud shamelessly abused.
must, however, except here Arkansas. The
reconstructors of that State were certainly q
set of rathless robbers. But they had among
them few men-notably Gov. Clayton, think
who held society in an iron grip, and by main
force produced peace. They put down with
stern and nnflncbing, and almost q cruel,
hand, the disorders which they found; they
made laws which are terrible to read, and they
executed these laws with a vigor which saved
society and gave peace to the State by encour-
aging the orderly people of all parties to take
public affairs into their own hands, and by
discouragiDg and terrifying the lawless class.
The result is that Arkansas is to day the most
peaceful State of the four have visited; and
as it has an excellent Governor. who knows the
extreme Importance of preserving peace and
order, the State is fairly on the way to pros
perity.
UNHAPPY LOUISIANA.
ThA injury dene to a community by the to-
tai failure of its rulers to maintain order, re-
presscrime and execute justice is more seri-
0nes$ felt I'd Gousiana than in any other of the
four States of which am speaking. 1t is a
wonder to me that society has not entirely
y
ded that it's white population possesses un-
commonly high qualities when 1 that, in
spite of an incredible misgovernment, which
encouraged every vice and crime, which
sbamelessly corrupted the very fountains and
sources of justice, and made the rulers terror
to the peaceably inclined in spite of this
order and peace have been gradually restored
and are now maintained, and this by the efforts
of the people alone, and in spite of heir rulers.
No thoughtful man can zee Louisiana as it is
to-day without gaining high respect for its
white people. The State is to-day as fit for
self government as Ohio New York. The
attitude of the races there toward each other
is essentially kindly, and only the continuous
efforts of black aud white demagogues of the
basest kind keep them apart politically. The
majority of the white people of the State
we'll disposed, anxious for an upright govern
ment, ready to help honest and wise rulers, if
they could ouly get them, to maintain peace
and order. sincerely believe that whenever
they are relieved from federal oppression-and
in their case it is the worst kind of oppression
they Will set up a government essentially
honest and just, and Will deal fairly and justly
with tae colorod citizens.

END OF THE SCHISM AT SANTIAGO DE
CUBA.-The Baltimore Mirror, of the l9lh e,
publishes these interesting items:
The religious situation in the island of
Cuba, SO troubled by schism. becomes more
normal. The ReriSta CattOlica del Hd6anG
states that the Dean of Santiago de Cuba
has renounced his errors, avowing, with
out reserve, that his conduct has been de-
testable in following false doctrine on the
matter of the schismatic intrusion of Sieur
Pedro Ltorente into the archdiocese. He
has made this retraction from the pulpit
0pnformable to the spirit of humility. With
this great act of faith comedies the return
of the illustrious D. jose Orebra, Vicar
General and legitimate governor of the
ArchbishOpric OF Santiago, cruelty pese-
cuted by the same intruded Bishop, D. Pc
dro Llorente. The supreme Government
has removed the penalty of exile pronoun-
ced against him, and the supreme tribunal
has sent him q removal from every other dis
ability.
On this subject the Bandsra Espanola
publishes lengthy pastoral letter from D.
Jose Orebra to the faithful of the diocese.
which is received with great joy. Laity
and clergy, by their evidence of warm at
tachmeDt, appear DESTROYS to make him
forget the numerous prosecutions he has
priests, except one, have made a full and
public retraction of their adherence to
the intruded Llorente through the press,
and publicly repeated it kneeling at the
feet of d. Jose Oredra, in the most abso-
lutte terms. Amongst those who pursued
this course was Father Edward Lecanda,
the secretary to the intruded Bishop.

LETTER FROM BAYOU aoULA.

BAYOU GoULA, LA, June 18th, 1875.
Editor Morning Star:
Every day of our existence is marked with
the blessings of heaven, but there are days so
blessed that in the fullness of the joy impaired
to our souls we feel in special manner that
the Lord has visited his people. Such was
last Thursday, June 10TH Angels sang hymns
of praise to celebrate the beauty of this day,
and ere the sun appeared in the East they had
converse together and said: "Let us hasten
towards st. Paul's Church, for to-day is the
feast of the little children"
Twenty-seven boys and girls were found
sufficiently instructed to make their First
Communion. They were instructed with that
care and zeal that Catholic priest alone can
exercise. 1t is customary with Rev. Father
Dubernard to have all the little ones that
have not made their First Communion attend
catechism; by that means children are pre-
pairing four or five years, and when they reach
their 18th or 18th year are fully instructed for
the solemn occasion.
Father Dubernard was assisted by Rev.
Fathers Lecaischere, of Paincourtville, and
Joel, of New River. Wednesday evening the
Rev. Fathers were in the confessional until
very late hour. The next morning, at o'clock,
two of the Fathers began and continued hear
