teacher was overcome ; the former oonsumptive
did things which a few hours before would
have been impossible; she knew she was cured,
and yet she doubted. Madeleine's companions
forced her to ride through the city on the mule /;
but on the way she leaped to the ground, and
began to walk at a rapid pace. The teacher,
fully persuaded, like all the village, that the
young consumptive's death was near, and
familiar with that thought from the time they
left the chapel, struggled against the evidence
OF her cure. She saw her with her own eyes,
touched her with her own hands, and could not
believe either her friend OF herself. But at this

LETTER FROM MOBILE.

MOBILE, ALA, May 9th, 1876.
To the Editor of the Morning Star:
Last Sunday will long be remembered by the
Catholics of Mobile. Our jealous pastors of the
city had selected this beautiful Feast of the
Patronage OF st. Joseph for the day of the First
Communione. Oar good Bishop administered
the Sacrament of Confirmation at the Cathe-
dral at A. M, at ST.. Vincent's at ~ NJ, at st.
Joseph's at p. M, and finally at st. Pstricks
at It P. NJ. Truly we should be ever grateful
and pray for these good priests whose whole
time is given for the salvation of souls. The
number of First Communions was very large
and that of those who were confirmed still more
numerous. The Gospel of the second Sunday
after Easter was fully exemplifed on this day.
Our good Bishop, like the good shepherd of the
Gospel could we'll say, 81 am the good shep-
herd, and know mine and mine know me-" At
st. Joseph's Church, owing to the large number
of Communions, almost as numerous as those
of Easter, we had Masses at and o'clock. At
the last Mass the children, to the number of
about one hundred, approached the Holy Table
for the first time. After Combination we had
the beautiful and impressive ceremony of the
renovation of Baptismal vows. The Total Alb
stinence Society also wishingto honor the day,
for the first timeas an organisation approached
Holy Communion. :
Our good Sisters of Charity were sgreeably
surprised by the arrival in their midst on
Saturday of their worthy Superior, Very Rev.
F. Guedey, I'M, from the st. Joseph's House,
Emmettsburg, Maryland. He is looking well.
After remaining here a few days, the guest of
the Sisters at the Providence Infirmary, he ex-
poets to 90 to your city. ADIEU.

Editor Morning S,ar:
The uprising against drink among our
Catholic congregations in this State seems to
gather force as it goes on. The Reform Club
agitation by our Protestant neighbors stirs u p
thought, and DOR people are too eager TO an
swer the call of their priests when he desires
them to rally around their own Total Absti.

rivalry to who will do most for the Total
Abstinence Reform-Catholics or Protcstants.

and quit, and are not the men to violate re-
suits OF an event which they precipitated
of their own choice. 1t was a fair
fight and when fought out, its legitimate
results are binding upon the consciences
of honest men who staked their lives and
fortunes on the result. We lost slavery,
If it be loss. We lost the right of Sc
cesslon, If we ever bad it; but Radicals
and Republicans and those assImilsted to
them in personal or polit cal history ac-
quired no peculiar right to perpetual hon.
ors and emouments of office, and the Re-
publican papers of Texa and of the North
needn't weep that Judge Hancock was
beaten for the Senate and for the lower
House. We cOnccde his fitness, HIS ability
and pstrio tism, but will never admit that his
right to honors and office is, therefore, per-
petual, or that We should oncede honors and
emOluments because he was a Cnionist
when Coke and Giddings were rebels. In
fact, by continually confessing Coke's and
Giddings's unworthinoss, by continually
setting up Hancock, we stultify ourselves
and admit the truth OF absurd falsehoOds
constantly promulgated, by which the
North is made to believe that we are still
secessionists. The 1ribunes, Gasettes and
Inter Deems daily declare that we send up
original Union men to Washington only to
mislead the North, and now, when we send
unmitigated rebels of 1901, who are un-
mitigated Union men in 1875, perhaps
Northern people will approve the change
and learn to tell the truth of us.

GRANT and Hayes are to hob-nob togeth-
er for few days at Long Branch If they
take hands at quiet game of old sledge
Grant will win third term, and, if we
may make natural deductions from Grants
instructions to Sherman, Grant will hold
all the trumps. Even if Tilden triumph at
the polls, Grant will win ''On the count -"
He will have the Radical Senate reject
votes of States in which he will use Sher-
man and the army to render fair election
impossible, and when the Senate rejects a
Southern State, the House will nullify the
choice of Northern or Western common
wealth, and then the war begins. Or, when
the Republican Senate rejects the votes OF
one or more 'uthern States, without rea-
son assigned, as it may, the lower house
may withdraw and have no election. Then
Grant will have further need for Sherman
and the army to arrest ana imprison the
House, and, to keep the peace, he may use
both the purse and the sword. Will he
and Hayes talk all these matters over and
reach definite understanding at Long
Branch2 Frank Blair used to say that if
Grant were ever invested with the uresi-
dency he would die wearing the imperial
purple. Grants instructions to Sherman

realization of Blair's predictions.

The infinite constituencies of Republican
papers when Coke or Giddings is as
signed TO Federal Office is painful to sympa.
thetic beholders. The wound becomes
more aud more intolerable as the man de.
feased is the more nearly allied to Radical
ism. The offsnse. when Coke was elected
and Giddiags nominated, seems TO be per-
sonal to the editors OF the Register and Of
the Rspnhiieaa. The event shows how very
Remote are their chances for Office in Texas
when one whose history appEoximases their

sent alike the past and the pressAt attitude

institution chartered by the Republican

This led other people as well as freedmen
to deposit in it.
The House Of Representatives disclosed
the crimes of Belknap. but the Senate re-
fused TO Punish him; the House laid bare
the frauds Of Robson, and the Senate eX-
onersted him from blame: the Tsscalities of
Btbcock we're exposed, and he was retained
in the performance of his official duties;
the II iuse introduced bill for purifying
elections, which the Senate so altered Ms To
rob 1t of all its useful features; and the bill
for transferring the Indian affairs to the
War Department it threw out bodily.
The Senate, which was the personihca-
tinn oil the aims and inten ions of the Re
publican party, has placed itself in the way
OF every substantial reform which has been
originated in the House; ami has not itself
lnaugurated one measure which can COM
mend itself to the confidence or approba-
non of the people. Every scheme locking
to a retrenchment of our wasteful expen-
ditures, or q reformation of the abuses
which have infested the civil service, has
had its origin in the Democratic House,
aud has been bitterly opposed by the ma
jorty in the Senate.
The New York Herald, which is usually
an apologist for the errors OF the admins
tration, has the following to say about the
late Grant order: ave wish To see all cit
z.ns protected IN their rights, but this
turning of the army of the United States
into bands of drummers for the negro vote
IS pushing partisanship so far that it would
| be prOteSOue If IL were not Infamous This
is doubtless the work to which Gen. SHEER
man referred when he SAID the highest
authority must answer why the troops could
not be spared to fight the Sioux. The des-
peration of a move which darcs 10 saddle
the country with the expense of extra sol
dIers while keeping nearly four thousand
idle for political purposes is apparent and
adds another stigma to the rule of the par
ty in whose name aud for whose aid it is
unblushingly done"
The State tax of New York was in 1874,
under Republican Governor, SIS, 7s7,-
472.0S. In 1876, the second year of Til
denis administration, it is IS, ISIS, 572. S5.
Here is saving of 1888, 900 %, or very
nearly half the whole amount. For ten
years past the aggregate taxation for canals
has been $22 100, 1856 46, which is an aver
age of 81, $40 6l5. 10 per year. In 1874 the
actual tax for this purpose was So, $751;
| Sl3 Oh. This year there is no such tax ex-
listing. Governor Tilden has demonstrated
that none was needed, aud he accordingly
vetoed the appropriation, and the canals
are kept in really better order than when
| the people were thus heavily taxed for their
support. The man who has thus lightened
the taxation of his State will do the same
thing for the nation when he is President.

MIR. GInD,NGs AND row SCOTT.

The question Is, will Mr.. Giddings vote
for the appropriation of from forty to sixty
millions of public money to the purpose of
converting the Texas and Pacific Road, so
richly endowed by Texas, into feeder for
the Pennsylvania Central2 Is it the bust
ness of Texas to build roads to assure st.
LOUIS and Philadelphia of the benefit of
competing line with the Union and Central
Pacific roads2 Ought not Texas rather
build Texas and S ,uthern Pacific high
way9 DR.. Ashbel Smith, late of the court
of st. James. says Huntington will build
no road himself, and only wishes to defeat
Tom Scott. Why, then, does Huntington
build the costliest road in America for its
length, from San Francisco TO the Arizona
line2 For what purpose could such a road
exist 1t must end in a barren plain or at
FL Paso, where it will meet the Texan sys-
TEN of roads. In fact, Huntington must
come to Galveston and New Orleans. He
owns or controls every road west of the
Rocky Mountains, and all this enormous
wealth is to be employed in accomplishing
task of which Scott, without incaIculable
government aid, is incapable. What has
Mr. Giddings to say?
