Communicated.
That Beuedictine Priest.

EDITOR REPUBLICANS:
In regard to the communication CT 7. A.
Vaudray, published in Sundays edition of
your paper MAY 2sl, you will please per-
NIT me to say few words.
When Rev. Father Vaudray, under SOL
emn vows and, it is presumed, without
mental reservation, took upon himself the
sacred order of the priesthood, We sup
pose, and SO will every intelligent Ameri-
can-Protest ant and Catholic-that he was
fully aware of all the obligations and coz
ditions expressed and implied.
Now, We don't presume to defend any of
the gentlemen attacked by Mr.. Vaudray.
for We believe that they are all more COM
petent to defend themselves and answer
Mr.. Vaudray, when they think proper.
than the humble writer hereof. But we do
presume to speak for ourselves and against
the vile aspersions of Mr.. Vaudray rs to
the mass of Catholics
How is it that Mr.. Vaudray and his like
never have anything to say until after they
take to themselves a *ifs-until they have
violated all the sacred and holy vows of
the priesthood? Can man be holy, can .
man be pi0us, can man be truthful who
of his free will takes q solemn oath, fully
informed of its consequences and its effect
upon him and the relation he thus assumes
to the public and society, and then to sat-
isfy seDsuality and cast of the restraint of
office, tell the world that the whole of his
performance was but a mockery and q
fraud! Did he assume the CLOAK of piety
only to pry into the cloister and then make
known to the world its hideOusness!
He has now pl iced himself in the po-
sition of all criminals who desire the court
1.-THE public) to listen to his testimonials of
character; but they have yet to be consid-
cred by the jury (all intelligent Americsns).
There are few men who, at some time in
their lives, could not or can not obtain GER
tificates of character and recommendations
to their fellow men; but such papers will
not warrant them to violate the law or
shield them frem their acts of crime. The
testimonials of Mr.. Vaudray do not pre-
sumo to relieve him of his sacred obliga-
tions, nor will they shield him from the eye
of God and the conse quenoes of his delib-
crate violation of the vows of priesthood, I,
nor restore him to the confidence of men
who revere an oath. P. P. G.

THE WHISKY CASES.
The Sentence.

Yesterday all the convicted in the two
cases of Fehrenbach and O'Brien were no.
titled to be present in court at two o'clock.
There was little hope that new trial would
be granted on any of the motions made,
the decision in the case Of w. G James
clearly showing Judge Woods conclusion
was that the convictions were in accordance
with the law.
At the hour appointed all were present.
MIR. Semmes addressed the court in behalf of
all the prisoners.
Mr.. w. G.. James followed with a very
quiet statement of many of the points
against him. He referred to the fact that
several of them were based on circumstan-
tial evidence and circumstances that should
have been explained; he heard of them for
the first time during the trial. For instance,
he knew nothing of the "cooper's shop"
and had passed through the inclosure but
once; if whisky went out through an i'm
proper door he knew nothing of it; he said
he was not guilty of the charge.
Mr.. Sheldon spoke of the broken health
and misfortunes of Karstendiek, and of his
large family; of the extended business, liberal
nature and trouble of Henderson, the age
and character of Beales, and the claims of
the young men, Fehrenbach. James and
Todd, for clemency. He asked that they
have time to prepare, and that the execu-
ton of the sentence be postponed.
District Attorney Bsckwith said the only
consideration was that such postponement
would invalidate the sentence. He tn ere.
fore could not consent.
Mr.. Henderson said the affairs of St.
Patrick's Hall. the bank, the insurance
company and the Lsvee Company would be
thrown into confusion, and great damage
done to many innocent people if he had no
more time. He was prepared to give any
bond, $4,000 or more, if that would satisfy
Mr.. Beck with.
Messrs. Sheldon and Semmes referred to
the New York case of 1856, and the still later
ono of Tweed, but Mr.. Beckwith did not
think they applied.
Judge Woods then commenced reading
his sentence, which is to be found in the
Court Record. As each ones name was
called he rose, and was closely observed by
the very large audience. All were more
composed than was expected. At the con-
clusion of the sentence, on motion of the
district attorney, they were taken into
custody by the marshal.

CONGRESS.

Senate.
WARRINGTON, June 2-The Senate IN the
morning hour passed q number of bills for
the relief of various persons.
A bill allowing the channel of the Ohio
river on the south side of Nevelle island to
be closed was passed.
A bill to exempt all vessels engaged in
the navigation of the Mississippi river and
it's tributaries above the port of New Or
leans from entries and clearances was
passed.
A bill fixing the time of holding circuit
courts in the fourth judicial district passed.
The district includes North and South
Carolina, Virginia and West Virginia.
Mr.. Robertson presented q petition from
the colored laborers OF South Carolina, re-
mOnstrating against the ratification OF
the Hawaiian treaty so as to admit rice
tree of duty.
The finance. legislative, executive
and judicial appropriation bill was
then taken up. The bill, as amend
ed, increases the amount as it passed
the House by about 81. 25O,00 The first
amendment, restoring the salaries of Sem
ators and Representatives to $4,000, passed.
Considerable progress was made on the DilI,
and all the amendments that were reached

House.
The Indian appropriation bill was brought
up, and Messrs. Mills and ThrOckmOrtOn
spoke regarding the Fort Sill reservation.
The Clerk having proceeded to read tho
bill by sections, Mr.. Mills, of Texas, offered
an amendment, providing for the removal
of the Apache Indians from the Fort Sill
reservation to the Baxter Springs reserva-
tion, in the northeastern part Of Indian
Territory.
Mr.. Bland, of Missouri, raised the point of
order that the amendment proposed to
change an existing law, and did not re-
trench expenditures, and was, there fore,
not in order.
The Chair ruled that the point was we'll
taken, and that the amendment was not
before the House.
The section transferring the bureau to
the War Department was not reached when
the committee rose, and the House took
recess until the night session for speeca hes.

TiIden Buyisg W tho Seulh.

A few days sgo the Memphis Aralanche
printed series of five articles which that
paper received from the advertising agency
Of Bates & Locke, of New York, to be in
serted as reading matter, and for which the
sum of ten dollars was offered in payment.
Each one of the five articles endeavored to
show that Tilden was the only hope of the
Democratic party as presidential candi-
didate; and that the South especially
should support him solidly in the st. Louis
convention.
The Avalanche, upon receiving the arti-
cles from the advertising agency, exposed
the attempt thus made to use the columns
Of the Southern papers in Mr.. T,lden's in
tereat, and made a direct charge against
the Democratic managers in New York Of
being engaged in buying up Southern dele
cations to St. Louis. This charge has been
denied BY some of the Democratic papers,
but they put their denials in such form as
to practically admit that Tilden is trying to
buv his nomination a. the Democratic can
didate for President.-Alabama State Jour-
nal.

cred than humanity. Something Oh
the spirit of the declaration Of American
independence mingles with all this, and the
sentiment, 20 government of the people,
for the people, by the people, shall not
perish from the EARTH" is passing from lip
to lip.
May the glorious promise of the new day,
which in 1876 is to rise in Anne rica, be not q
disappointment to those who believe IN
Republican liberty. And yet, God alone
sees to the end. His hand alone can guide;
His will alone will determine all. Those OF
us who love the cause of the human
brotherhood can only do our duty and
leave the conso uences to the Divine
Power, which 6oeth all things we'll. l
can no. but feel that America is to be
Republican and not monarchical, but yet
I can not conceal feom myself the fact that
a Confederate Democratic restoration in
1876 would be the beginning Of the end OF
Republican liberty IN the New World. In
determining this issue, the cause Of the ne
gro becomes the cause of Republicanism
and of Professionalism in the United States
Upon these issues the West and New
England can be made as one. If not, then
in the end the Confederate idea of govern
ment with race caste and Catholic ecclesi
asticism will first triumph on the Northern
continent of America, the Protestant re-
public of the United States being finally
overthrown and monarchy reared on it,

yesterday that the two houses would con-
tinue to disagree on the consular and diplo-

in ap early deadlock between the two

is to put the young trees from the nur-
sery into the holes prepared tor
them. Those who have no holes prepared
may yet escape the odious comparison
with the less provident virgins OF the
parable, if they have at least used the
time past for gathering plenty OF seeds
Even the most self-induIgent or less active
among those can hardly find fault with
the following recipe, partaking as 1t does
both Of the useful and the agreeable:
Fill your pockets, or any other conve-
nient receptacle ready to hand, with the
seeds of such trees as give the most shade,
while at the same time they will not kill
the grass you plant under them then
mount your horse and proceed to the
nearest hill where canes won't grow, at
least not fast enough to pay your trouble
in rearing them. Arrived at such q spot
the future resort for your picnics,
may-be-you need not dismount, if not
so inclined. All you have to do is to
thrust your hand into the receptacle con-
tanning the seeds, take out a handful Of
them, and while enjoying the celebrating,
fresh breeze, the enchanting view of the
landscape before you, and the no less ii not
more inyigorating look of the luxurious
green Canefield, you let a few seeds drop
to the ground, promising yourself to go
and look for the result now and again,
and, should it be necessary, give the
wee things a helping hand in their first
struggles for existence.

The weather continues to be all TINT the
most fastidious could possibly desire.
Fine, soaking rain almost necessarily, not
a drop of it wasted. On reference to the
table of rainfall for the week, given above,
it will be seen that the fail counts up
quite considerable figures, and we may
here add that other parts Of the island
would average about the same. But
these figures convey no adequate idea in
themselves of the incalculabIe good this
weather has done to the growing crop,
owing to the manner in which it has fall
len.-~From all the surrounding islands,
which have suffered for the last five years
to the same, or nearly to the same, extent
as we have, we have reports in the pa

this part of the world to have its share
of the %quickening eIement.-Those, now,
who have employed their idle hands dur

THE DEFENCE ASSOCIATION
May 5th 1876.

At a meeting of the General Committee Of
the Defence Association, held this day, it was
unanimously resolved that the following Protest
should be published in all the newspapers in
the Island g
In a Proclamation issued by Governor
Hennessey, on the goth of April last, it is as
serted that "for some time past false and
"libeHous statements have been industriously
q circulated " amongst other agencies and
amongst other ways by publications Of the
" so-eafed " Barbados Defence Association, "
&c, and that " endeay0urs are now made
"by the same publications and other agencies
" to induce the ignorant peasantry to believe
that ], His ExcoIlency " countenance and
abet the recent dlsgracefI and la1cIess acts of
&" certain gangs Of marauders. -
Now we, the undersigned, members of the
Committee Of the /" Barbados Defence Ass0cia-
ton, " do hereby Indignantly repoI the insinu-
atons AMI charges against our Association set
out in the said Proclamation, and we do
hereby publicly place on record our emphatic
protest against the imputations which have
been thus cast upon the said Association.
We deeply regret that His Excellency should
have availed himself OF the Proclamation to
which We have referred, to make an uawarran-
ted attack GA an Association which has been
OF 50 much Use to the country, and which iu-
cludes amongst its numerous members, not only
the leading gentlemen Of the Island, but al
most every hoacst and respectable man poss. S.
cd Of any appreciate interest or property in
it.
His Excollency must by this time be aware,
that so far from exhibiting any signs of the
influence Of the Defence Association, the "cer-
tain gangs of marauder5 p i-udiscriminateiY des-
troyed the property of its members, openly
and, indeed, ostyntatiously declaring that their
disetac3ful and laWless acts had His Excellen-
cy's sanction, and were committed und + His
Exoellenov's instructions. 1t is not for us to
investigate the truth or falsohood Of these
strange declarations of the Rioters. That is
not the point just now. At the moment we
are only Interested in putting on record well
known facts. Nor d. we deem it requisite here to
enter into the circumstances which necessita-
ted the formation of the Defence Association,
or the purposes for which it was created.

The sky has been mach overcast for many
days and some smart showers have fallen, MAY
o. Fears are expressed the season is about
to break up. Fortunately, the sugar crop has
been coming forward briskIy yet, as the ship
ping return shows, the c~learings to date are
yet very far short of even the mall crop we
have the right to reckon on. A continuance of
open weather for some weeks is therefore of
serious moment to the colony. The average
date of the setting in of the rains, may be
taken to be the third week of the present
month. 1t will be seen we have only a short
grace to rely on. There are commonly a
good many days of grinding weather after the
first good rains, sometimes two or three weeks,
but such cannot be safely depended on, and a
few heavy showers in succession not only cut
up the mud roads of the plantations, but so
impoverish the juice of the uncut canes, that
they are not worth carting and crushing,
and pertorce the mill must stop.

r specting the change made in the Execu-
tive Council by Her Majesty's Commission and
the Royal Instructions, the Earl of Carnaryon
in a Despatch dated Downing Street, 18th
April, 1876, says =
"Sir John Soaly's great legal and c%onst;.u,
tional knowledge of course render it unneoes-
sary that you should explain to him WHY this
change has been made, but for the informa-
ton Of those who are less familiar with the
principles Of government, l think it right to
state, that the Constitution of the Executive
Council Of Barbados has been assimil ted t,
that Of all tue great Colonies, whether under
responsible Government or administered as
Crown Colonies in consequence Of a material
defect in its theory which has produced Sc
rious evil in practice.
It is necessary that the Chief administrative
Officers Of the Grown should meet to confer
with the Governor on all public matters, as
ID which the Government must act or propose
a Policy aud the Executive Council lin Ca
NADIA and some Colonies under the name Of
PIiyy Council, is nl'urally and obviously tho
body constituted to provide for such meeting.
Everything should be there done and said in
perfect confidence, and in the full assurance
that all present support the q Policy, and
are pledged to full and untesorved cooperation
with the Governor. On no other terms can
the attalr3.-ottea very lmp0rtant-of such q
Colony as Barbados be administered with
success. Ia Barbados, however until the
issue Of the new Royal instructions,
active opponents of the Government have
been seated at the confidential meetings Of the
Administrative Officers, and have too often left
the Executive Council only to oppose what had
been there decided upon as the Policy of the
Government. Nothing could be more unfair or
impolitio than to place independent gentlemen
in this position, and the result could only be
the withdrawal from the consideration Of the
Executive Council of all controyerted cues
tions Of d%elicacy and Importance and the con-
s~titution of more informal and confidential
meetings Of the Administrative Officers.
[ feel, however, that l am arguing against a
system which only needs to be stated to be
recognised as practically inadmissabIe 10 any
British Constitution, and which [ apprehend
no thinking person will be found seriously to
defend. The constitution Of Barbados suffers
no injury or derogation from being in this res
pect assimilated to that of England and all the
great Colonies while the continued presence in
the Legislative Council Of those gentleman
who are no lsuger summoned to the Executive
Council furnishes the outside opinion, which is
[ doubt not, of great value in the settlement of
many questions, and prevents all danger of the
Colony losing their services in connection with
public affairs.
