We extract from the full report in the
Wexford People of September 30 the fol-
lowing passage from the speech Of the
Chevslier OClery, NJ, P, to his consttu-
ents Of Wexford, Sept. 26th:
"I cannot close the few words intended
addressing you without renewing-aud l

increasing G sacrileges in Rome, the captiv

Eternal City, perpetrated by the Pledmon-
tese invaders with the taci5 cOnDivance of
the English Government. AS Ireland gra-

Ireland watches, too, with deep anxiety

A very pretty quarrel is at this moment
going on in France between the Radicals and
the ultra Radicals. Both want to maintain
the Republic, and both want to persecute the
Church 80 far they agreed. But as to the
rate of speed at which headway should be
made, they are hopelessly at loggerheads. Oh
late II. Gambetta, the recognized leader of the
former, spent fsw days among his friends in
Switzerland. A silver CUP was presented to
him, and in addressing the donors on this
occasion no made use of tho following words
We want to march on with prudence and
wisdom, for we have learnt by q long and hard
schooling not to trust even our own impulses
No doubt we shall have all those impatient
men against us whose ardent spirit makes
them push on without looking behind them to
sec whether the masses follow them. These
are the enemies of the Republic, who only play
into the hands of despotism.
Now the partizans Of Raspail, Barodet aud
and Rochefort are fearfully wroth at being
called enemies of the Republic, and their
orgau, the Droits De LhommS, puts N. Gambetta
down after this fashion:
To look back while going on has at all times
been considered the suresJ means of falling on
ones nose Yet this is the advice proffered to
ms by him who was n tribune heretofore, and
who, having now become q pontiff, calls those
the worst enemies of the Republic who main
tain their faith in the gcometrical principle
that the straight line is the shortest cut from
ono point to another, and who hold that the
Dast eyes are not those which are in the habit
of squintiDg.
1t seems that the quarrel is really coming to
= head, and will have to be fought out in the
forthcoming session of the legislature. OF
course when the enemies of the Church fall ont,
the Church is more likely to hold it's own than
it would otherwise.

THE N. o PACIFIC RALLWAy:

The recent low water on the bar at III.

harsh criticism of the m anagers of the Nc
Orleans Pacific Railroad for scommenco.ws

thirty five miles of grading are neceessr

proves that far more is ontributed to draw

the gap existing between that place and
New Orleans will be speedily closed.

There are 1000 miles of railway now in opo'
ration in Texas or nearly completed, and during
the prevalence Of ne long and severe striu-
Rency which resulted from the panic of 1873,
Texas was the only state in the Union that
steadily pushed forward her railroad enter
prises. The rapidsettlement of the country de-
1nanded railroads and they were built. Besides
this, Texas grants under her general railroad
law sixteen sections of land per mile to all per-
sons who shall build, equip and onerate a
railway in any part of her domain. Up to this
time the State has donated "a 600 900 acres of
land and 81, 900 in gold to railway Compa-
nieS.

The Catholic Jura still remains the seat of
dastardly tyranny and oppression. A Protest.
ant Swiss, Herr Wnrstemberger, lately made a
voyage of discovery in this out-of the way
district, and gave account of the result of
his researches in Protestant paper. He found
that the local magistrates, who are officers of
the Canton of Bsrne, oppress schools and
teachers in a most shameful way, SO to make
them rally to the " State priests" but all thi'
coercion has hitherto been in vain. He visited
tho barns in which Catholic worship is now
held, and found them one and all full to over
flowing. At Saignelegier he estimated the
attendance in the ''stand" at from 1900 to 1900,
whilst the sham priest Bissey, who occupies
the church, preaohed to five crazy old women
of both sexes. As q rule, the locks tended by
the Old Catholic shepherds range from one to
six members, whilst the worship held by the
real priests in barns aud in the open air 10
attended by hundreds and Thousands.

SpitzSergen in 1927, and Captain Scoresby, i,

tion of the Arctic during seventy years,
therefore, represents total advance of one

ton went forth 30 we'll equipped aud under
such favorable auspices as that which has
just returned. Doubtless no pains were
spared by any person in the entire expedl
tion to accomplish all that could be achiev-
ed but We may here note our surprise that
q single winters experience was deemed to
establish conclasively their inability to
reach the Pole. Why, for instance, was
not one of the vessels despatched south,
after landing her stores, before the ice
closed, to return with the open water bear
ing fresh supplies The experience of all
explorers who have adapted the Smith
Sound route has taught that the real effort
begins at the eghty-second parallel, and
hence, if Arctic exploration is not at an end,
arrangements must be made in future expe-
dtions for journey nothward on boat
siedges of four hundred and eighty miles.
Tie terrors, the en"rmous difficulties of
such u 'urney, are pictured in the one fact
that the heroic stedge party from the Alert
ceuld not advance more than one mile
day. If this speed caunot be bettered of
cnurse discovery uotb$ard is at an end.

Some time after, whilst speaking upon

"Pietro,' the N Y. Catholic Rereur's London
correspondent, under date of Oct. 7th, writes ::
The Animal Congress" of the Anglican
Church has been sitting this week at Ply
mouth. The proceedings have been intoleraby
dull and stupid-so much so that the London
journal complain bitterly. There was the usual
twaddle about that rapidly expiring scot, "the
Old Catholcs;" and there was great lamenta-
tions OVER two evils at home-to wit, the abse-
lutte need of more bishops, and the deplorable
scarcity of new candidates for the ministry.
There are only twenty eight Anglican bish Dps
in all England and Wales and the dioceses of
some of their churches are 60 large that it
would take them two years to visit all their
churches, at the rate of one each day. The
consequence is that many of the clergy and
people never their bishop. The remedy
proposed is that the present bishops should
club their incomes together, and consent to
live on fl 200 year-the surplus to be given
to cndow thrty-two other sees at the same
rate l think / see them doing it! When l
hear that Mr. TAFT, the Protestant Episcopal
Archbishop of Canterbury, has given up G13,-
800 of his annual El5,000, l shall begin to
think that the end of the world is at hand. As
to the scarcity of new ministers, the evil seems
to be beyond remedy. In tie frat place. most
of the young men now educated at oxford and
Cambridge leave those institutions as iutidels
while those of them who do retain their faith
are generally anxious for a worldly career.
