That Compromise.

Now that the people of this State have,
by virtue of the so called compromise, been
allowed within a dozen or SO of their actu-
ally elected Legislators, what becomes of the
bogus Legislature lately in session By
universal consent it is now recognized that
q considerable majority of Conservative
members were elected that, in fact, there
was no quorum Of the House possible, and,
therefore, no Legislature, without them.
1t being clearly known and universally
Acknowledged that the recent Legislature was
not the one elected, that it was in fact
bogus, it follows that all it's action was
illegal and is null. The fact that it was
recognized by the President of the United
States, if true, does not make it our Legis
lature. Neither can it properly be called 6
de fucto Legislature, because it was no
able of its own strength to maintain itsel
in power. That result was obtained onl.
by a totally illegal interference of the Presi
dent of the United States. 1t was il
reality the Washington Administrator
which was ruling our State through
, creature of it's own which it chose to call
Legislature.
We do not pretend that a governmer
can not be de .tacto, except " hen it is also
jure but we submit that in this country
cannot be considered and treated as gov
ernment at all, even de facto, when it is NJ
y Republican in form. If not that, it is, c
Ie it's face, usurpation-a hiatus in govern
st ment. Now, it is clear that a governme
le imposed on any one of the States of tn
* Union by a power exterior to iteelf,
t, despotic in reality and in form.
ID Such government cannot afterwards
s. recognized by the courts as ever havi
'n existed, as it would be recognition of t
I' fact that the Federal Government ha
IN during that period of time, failed to secu
re- to the State Republican form of COVER
lie ment. 1t would be very different if pt
tion of the population of the State had ST
The morning star and Catholic messenger., 1875-04-04

ceeded by their own strength in maintain
ing control of public affairs, througn PIE,
tended results of an election. That wonid
be a de faeto government until Its de'ea' ~
the polls was legally ascertained.
We think it not too much, then, TO ask'
srnnosinp our compromise to mean some
thing, that the doings Of the late bogus
Legislature should be treated by the courts
as absolutely null, in view of the known
fact that it had no existence except as tne
despotic creation of Gen. Grant perso onai'y'
and was. therefore, not Republican.

Grand sacred Concert by Professor curto.

Rv card in our advertising columns, 1t Will
be seen that that emmett musician ana eo"-
,ossr. Professor G. Curto, will give q grand
Sacred Concert at Grunewald Hall, baronhe
street, near Canal, ON Wednesday evening
next, April 7th, at O'Clock.
Were it not that many of our readers may oe
,,acouainted with the merits and standing OF
this celebrated musician, the mere meh'ion Vi
his name would be sufficient, without any
words of ours, to attract our muslc-io'ihs
people. -.
Professor Curto is, we think, the oldest
resident musical teacher and composer in our
midst. His competitions have been performed
both in this country and in Europe with tne
greatest success, his church music, which, we
are pleased to say, will on this night form 'he
principal part of the programme, being es
| pecially admired and praised.
! In addition to other talented muslcian
Prof Curto will be assisted by a number OF MI
old pupils who are now among the most dis
tiusuished amateurs Of this city. The Crane
orchestra of the Opera, in itself a great at
traction, will also be present. Seldom nav
the public had an opportunity OF attending a.
entertainment in which was enlisted such q
array of musical talent as is promised at th'
Concert. With the certainty that the occs
sion will be one rich in enjoyment OF tn
purest nature, we advise all who admire goo
music interpreted by the best artists, to atten
at Grunew aid Hall next Wednesday night.

from the different status of the victims

therefore, their robbery is openly avoWed !;
the L. S. Government has strength at least

We opine that Signor Lerdo is going too
far. There is q certain fellowship among
the wicked that produces combinations
which, for a time, are dangerous to society

Government of the United States at this
time feel, of course, glow of satisfaction
at any iniquity they hear of as being per
petrated elsewhere. In that way Lerdo'

YE OLD FoLKEs' CONCERTO last week was
ono of the most enjoyable and, better still,
successful entertainments of the season. The
performers, while personating the old folks of
. hundred years ago were inspired to fairly
Outdo themselves, when they reflected that
they were now helping the Little Sisters to
furnish shelter, food aud raiment to the desti-
tute old folks of to-day.
Most appropriate WAS the opening, unan-
nounced song of Auld Lang syne and very
touching the Beggar Girps Appeal; while
among the humorous performances the most
striking was the broad parody upon the
famous German Udehtam Rhein, which here tool
the shape of the Watch on the wind But
since the daily papers have fully chrOniclet
the particulars of the audience, the performers
the Concert and the supper, we need mention
but one other item, which we consider th
