holders:
The twenty seventh anual report of the Union
Mutual Life Insurance Company of Maine shows
o very favorable condition OF affairs, and disclos-
es the resu Its Of the sound and business-ke poll
cy pursued by the management. Mr.. John +.
De Witt, the president, on assuming office in July
last, undertook q thorough Investigation of the
business. All bad and doubtful assets marked
eff, the property held by the company revalued in
order to arrive at its actual present value, and at
ter large reductions had been made in accordance
with the general shrinkage of values and present
market prices, the company was found 10 have q
surplus (accordpg to n. Y. standard of valuation)
Of &722 ,236.80.
The losses paid during 1876 amounted TO $685.
275I2 The receipts from interest rent, and prof.
its securities alone, amounted to 1886, I72 .S5,
being nearly sufficient to pay all theii death
claims. During the time the company has been
in business it has paid to policy holders and their
heirs 10 sums assured. dividends and surrender
values, the sum of Sill ,28S ,635.26. The sum now
held in trust is almost as large as that already
disbursed. All policies hereafter issued come un-
der the operation Of the Maine nonforieiture law
guaranteeing an equitable surrender value to
those who allow their policies to lapse. The re-

what a faint chance of success to retain II
may, Of course, turn out that Judge Bradley
will yet do justice on the main issues of the
case, but tho mere suspicion of his having
already ruled as a partisan brings forcibly
home to every Democrat the thrilling fear
| that he may continue to do so throughout
! and the humiliating sense of having their
hopes hinged upon the caprice of an enemy
and of having to watch helplessly for the
mods OF master whom their own stupidity
has placed over them.
Our present Democratic Congressman
are responsible for this disgraceful state
of things. A few, like the gallant Eaton of
that gallant old Democratic State, Con
necticut, opposed the folly, but the vast
body of them succumbed easily to the
contagion. Appare ntly they could see but
one thiog-the danger Of war. A certain
amount of manhood, of resolution, of
nerve, might be requisite they recoiled
before the prospect; they hastened to seizs
the first offer of compromise made. and what

of the dispute to Republican offi 80 holder,

This was simply surrender disguised
with large roll of red tape. 1t was moral
cowardice-a fear to meet the frowning re-
proacbes of New York capitalists that Con-
yress was ruining business. IF this was the
secret, then our Democratic Congressman

The Ff!ieth Anniversary.

Our readers need no special information
at our hands concerning the approaching
fftteth anniversary of the episcopacy of our
venerable Pontiff, Plus TX. The pastoral
! letter of Right Rev. Bishop Elder which we
publish to- day is so full on that subject as
to leave nothing unsaid. We are glad to
announce that our own venerable Arch
bishop, notwithstanding the pressure of
his financial troubles, ia taking active
steps to promote the proposed movement of
Catholics in this regard, and that on Sunday
next, the 18Th, inst he will, through our
columns, make an appeal in its beha f.
In the same connection we take great
pleasure in announcing that the Hon. T. j.
Semmes has consented to deliver lecture
in furtherance of tie intended celebration
of the event. This lecture will be given at
ST. Patrick's Han at a date not yet definitely
fixed upon.
Mrs. Lay ton, wife of our esteemed fell
low citizen, Thomas Layton. Esq. r.has, we
perceive, been requested and authorized to
act in our Southern States "a representative
Of the committee OF Roman ladies who ori
gnated the work in itspresent shape. She
has already, with the full approval of His
Grace, the Archbishop, commenced to move
actively in furtherance of the cause by |
the distribution of circlars. With tie as
sistance of the collateral Influences to
which We have already alluded and of
others that may hereafter transpire, she
will doubtless be able to present this Sou
,hern section of our county Mt the feet of
he Holy Father as a generous though
impoverished daughter.

The Louisiana Question.

The Louisiana case before the Commis.
sion will probably turu, 10 great extent,
on the ques.io of the constitutionality ot
the Returning Board TIE Commissiop
may decline to go into the examination of
what took place before that Board, and
yet be willing to examine into the powers
vested in it and exercised by it, as ques
| ton involving nothing bat legal construc
tons.
We are satisfied that the Hayes case
will be destroyed by the mere fact of the
Commissions entertaining such question,
fit should do so. The Constitution of this
State peremptorily prohibits the Legisla-
ture from erecting any kind of court or ju-
dicial tribunal other than of the kinds by it
enumerated. These are the Supreme Court,
District and Parish Courts, and those of
Just!ces of the Peace. 1t follows then that
the Returning Board law is absolutely I'M
constitutional if it has vested that body
with the functions of a Court, at least to
to the extent of such functions. The only
question then is: Has the Returning oard
judicial powers.
Whether it has or not, it has certainly
exercised such powers. 1t did not pretend
to limit Itse.f To the clerical duties of ia
buiating and promuI eating the returns, nor
yet to the ministerial powers of rejecting
returns illegally OF insufficiently made. 1t
certainly received evidence and examined
questions involving both law and fact.
1t not only examined but decided. 1t
threw out whole parishes for no irregularity
in the mode of holding the election, no in
fOrmality, no defect in the returns, but on
the bold ground that there had been intimi-
dation some time previous to the election.
The question of forfeiture of suffrage by
whole people for such a reason as
that is one of the gravest that could come
before auy Court, first in the investigation
of the facts alleged, aud secondly in the
examination of the law invoked to sustain
the judgment sought for.
Ministerial power acts upon what is be
fore 1t of its own knowledge; judicia
power acts upou "a case as presented to it
by evidence.
In the Louisiana Board had no power
vested in it by law to hear and decide
questions which it has decided, then such
decisions are utilities and not to be no
ticed if, on the other hand, the Board was
vested with such power by law, then the
law is unconstitutional and the Board itself
n nudity to that extent.

FATHER NEITHART.- The information of
tn" appointment OF Rev. Father b. A. Nett
hart as Rector of the Redemptorist Con-
gregation in this city reached rs too late
for insertion in the columns of our last
issue He was installed in that responsible
position on Friday, the 2nd inst, but with
characteristic mOdesty left the news to find
its way to the public as best it might.
To cay that the appointment gives uni
versal satisfaction is but to repeat what
every one knows. OF the twelve vears
which Father Neithart has spent in the
priesthood, ten have been passed in New
Orleans, SO that lie has become thoroughly
identified with our people. That vast col
lection of religious monuments which the
Red"mptorist Order has built up here, 30
wonderfully that it may be said to have
created city within city, has to a great
extent developed under his eye, and there
can be no fear tina: it's Interests will be mis-
understood or neglected under his admins
tration.

CURIOUS CALCULATroN.-Iti is asserted by
scientific writer's, Gays Irish newspaper,
that the number of persons who have existed
on our globe since the beginning of time,
amounts to GG6!7 .s43. 237, O75 256. These fig-
ures when divided by 3.O95 OOO-the number
OF square leagues on the globe-leave IL $780,
6oS.732 square miles of land; which being
divided as before, give .3l4 626,O 76 persons to
each square mile. If we reduce these miles to
square roods the number will be l, 553 IVA 600,
ooo which, divided in like manner will give
1888 Inhabitants to each square rood, and these
being reduced to feet, will give about i've per-
sons to each square foot of terra trina. 1t will
thus be perceived that our earth is vast
cemetery. Ga each square rood of it 1888
human beings lie barred, each rood being
scarcely sufi.ieut for ten graves, with each
grave containing 125 persons. Tle whole sur
face of our globe, therefore, has been dog over
12o times to bury its dead.
