 WEDNESDAY.
 The trains came in today we'll loaded and the numbers upon the grounds are per. ceptibly increasing. At the first meeting Tuesday evening very fair audience was present to hear the sermon of the Rev. MT. Smith of New York city. In the forenoon of to day "Wednesday an audience of perhaps two hundred convened and listened to the the sermon of the Rev. MT. Mackay of Millerton, who took for his text the Eth verse of the 1st chap. of John:
 The same came for a witness to bear wit ness of the Light, that all through Him might believe.
 MT. M. began by saying he should not presume to attempt to do justice to the full text, for there was too much in it for one sermon, but as he proceeded it became manifest that he was able to make pretty good beginning toward proper treatment of the subject in his sermon to-day. He was followed by the Rev. MT. Clark of Hillsdale, who, while he interested, and sometimes amused his hearers, gave them a vast amount of instruction in the few mo- ments he occupied their attention. The meetings this year are to continue to Thurs day of next week, and the numbers in at tendance will probably rapidly increase from thls time on.

This matter has brought the liquor ques- tion forward as prominent topic of con- versation among the quidnuncs at oul village stores.
 One thing is pretty evident, that our pres- ent laws for the suppression of intemper- ance don't suppress worth cent.
 Not long since several disgraceful drunk en hrawls occurred right in the heart of our village, and number of prominent burgh- CTS were grossly insulted in their places of business, and little or no notice was taken of it. What is the difficulty? Surely no fault can be found with the law on account of it's leniency. It is arbitrary and se- we're enough. No; the real trouble is, there is not moral backbone enough in this con- munity to enforce the present or any other liquor law. The howl and cry for pro- hibitorY law is simply ridiculous. It would be no more effectual than the present one. Every one of course has his own pet theory as to the most efficient way of checking intemDerance. Every one has his peculiar views about the liquor question, anl bis plan for eradicating or remedying the evil or lntemperance. If you have space enough and care to publish them will give you mine.
 Prohibition is wrong anyway in principle. and if wrong in principle no end or object will justify it's enactment. You have just as much right to prescribe by legislative enactment that man shall not sell pickles, opium or tobacco, as to say he shall not sell intoxicating liquor. The selling of liquor is not crime itself, nor even the excessive drinking of it.
 If man retires to his room and gets drunk he has committed no offense against human society or human laws, provided

such proofs. The consequence would
rigidly follow, from that fact and from the
brotherly joy with which the correspon-
dence is accepted and published, that the
Republican is as slanderous and indecent
as Mr.. Vaudry, that the Republican re-
joices in an opportunity, though not an
honorable one, of throwing dirt upon
whatever is respectable, and that the
Republican naturally fraternizes with the
evil and the corrupt.
AS for Yaudry, we are not sure that he is
at all as culpable in this transaction as his
sponsor, the Republican, is, in case it has
not demanded and obtained proof of his al
! legations. The wretched mans style of
argument is so rambling, 81 utterly incon-
segment, that it is suggestive of mental
alteration. His language is that of a man
of requirements, but his reasoning is hardly
that of sound mind. Thus, as priest
he must be supposed to have read the moro
salient passages of the New Testament. He
could not possibly have failed to meet with
ST. Paul's famous eulogy of celibacy 81 say
to the unmarried and to the widows it is
good for them if they SO continue, even as I.
He that is without wife is So
lcitous for the things that belong to the
Lord, how he may please God.
Both he that giveth his virgin in marriage
doth we'll, and he that giveth her not doth
better YetAMr. Vaudry appears to have
forgotten all this and says:
Frankly, fearlessly, conscentiously, in the
face of heaven and earth, have repudiated
the degrading state of celbacy.
The degrading state of ceiibaey! And
yet at one time he must have been familiar
with the above cited expressions of St. Paul.
Then again he speaks repeatedly, in his
letter, of the holy sacrament of matrimony.
This is the same letter in which he an
nounces that he is married, and he could !
hardly have forgotten that he was married |
by gentlemen who SCOTS at the idea that !
ia sacrament. Where is the |
then, in his case The man
has some appearance, truly, of being mad.
But the Republican The Republicans
madness has too much method in it to be |
an thing but deviltry.

II is the duty of the Church, not of the
priest to sustain this work, and the laity
ought to second him heartily in the effort
It is useless to deceive ourselves ss to
the issue upon us. The school law, as gen
orally existing in these Statee, is perse-
cution Of the Catholic Church. 1t devoives
upon every sincere Catholic the duty OF
paying a double school tax-one ipvolun-
tary for the public schools, the cher vol
untary for the parochial schools. Of course
the persecution can be lodged by refusing
or neglecting to do ones duty as to the lat
ter of these taxes, but 30 could the perse-
cution of Nero have been avoided by offer
ing incense to Jupiter.
Seven hundred dollars is too much for
one man to lose in the cause but it would
be very little if divided among all the
wealthy men of the Parish. We do not say

At the general Congress of the French Cath
olio COMMITTEES, recently held in Paris, under
the presidency of N. de Chesnelong, the CArdi-
nal Arch bishop of Paris remarked in the course
Of his speech that If dozen free thinking Uni
Versities had been started under the new law,
Catholics might have regretted it, but the Ia W
would never have been interfered with. twas
because Catholics, not free-thinkers, had the
zeal and conviction necessary to found Uni
versities and profit by the law that the outcry
had been raised, and this little liberty had been
Curtailed. The rejection is one which has
probably occurred to most people, but it is not
therefore the less necessary that the fact should
be placed on record.

The Tribune says the presence of the Mayor
during the disturbance last week and his civ.
ing the officers no encouragement to make ar-
rests was an excuse for their neglect of duty.
This is a misstatement. The Mayor was not
present ut the time stated. We leel confident
that The I ribune will make the necessary cor
acknowledgements.
The TRIBUNE is always willing
and anxious to correct any misstate-
ment it makes. The Mayor informs
US that he was not present during all
the disturbance on the day mention
ed, and that he did not order the ar
rest Of the disturber because a peace
officer present assured him (the
Mayor that there was no cause for
arrest. This exonerates the Mayor
from having discouraged arrest, and
leaves the blame upon the Constable,
whose Misrepresentation misled the

present at the time stated Had he
