of serious confederation. There are mel
in our midst whsse appearance in the Uni
} ted States Senate would give no offence t.
the d" Loyalty" spirit, no opportunity to The
" Union shriekers," >" and who would still be
as true to the interests of their section si
any original secessionist or any veteran O
Confederate war fame.
To 60 no further, We can instance such
3 man in naming Mr.. Rozier, one Of the
most respected members of our bar. j. Ad.
Rozier, Esq has q national reputation as
o Union man who proved his sincerity un-
der a test before which most men would have
quailed. He was an outspoken Union man as
a member of the Secession Convention of
Louisiana, under circumstances of popular
excitement which would probably have re-
warded his tenacity with very disagreeable
results had not popular disgust been tenn
pered by en- absolute conviction of his sim
cerity and honesty.
Not only would Mr.. Rozier be acceptable
to the Northern sentiment by reason of his
soundness on the "Union" question &C
oording to their view, but he is of that ele-
ment of the Democracy which comes to it
from the Whig party. UP to the dissolu-
tion of that party Mr.. Rozer was an cold
line Whig," but refused absolutely to be
carried away by the insane furor of Kuow
Nothingism.
Notwithstanding these facts Mr.. Ro
zier is a true, staunch Southern man who
has never soiled his hands with the pollu |
ting touch of publicansm as exhibited in |
Louisiana. Though he could have had any
office he might choose to name, from the
lays of Butler to this day he has ever scorn-
ID to affiliate with raecals and to fill his
pockets with plunder. On the contrary,
le has always consistently acted and voted
With the Democratic opposition.
If peerless honesty, unfiinching irmness,
fidelity to his section in the
ssues of the day, and Intelligent capacity
Indicate fitting ambassador, then no bet
er man than Mr.. Rozier could be found in
to represent her in the National
'enate.

How the prosecuted Catholics in Prussis,
deprived of the ministrations of a priest, try to
supply for the inestimable benefits of the Holy
Sacrifice of the Mass may be seen from the
following communication, sent from q town in
Siberia, to the Ohio Waisenfreund
"The faithful, invited by the peal of the
bells, meet on Sundays in our beautiful
church, and chant first the Office of the Blessed
Virgin, accompanied by the organ. after which
sung, and the candles are lighted on the high
altar as if High Mass were being said. But
when, after the hymn at the Sanctus, the organ
is silent, and the devout assembly gaze ON the
priestless altar, such wailing and weeping
burst forth that even the most callous heart
cannot but pity the deep sorrow of the poor
flock left without q pastor. After o few
minutes the hymns of the Mass are continued
amid weeping and sobbing."

We direct the earnest attention of eur read
ers to the letter of our Congressman to Mr..
Wheelock, which will be found on another
page. They explains why the bill granting
government aid to the Pacific Railway failed
at the last session, and give good reasons for
the certainty they fee3that it will pass at the
next session, if our people are true to them
selves and "earnest and concerted efforts are
made and kept up by those who are vitality
interested in its success" Zone OF the strong
est arguments" say they, (which we have
made in favor of the selection of your road is
the subscription made by our citizens and the
determined manner in which, under financial
depression, they have, of themselves, carried
on their great work." Let all interested in
this great enterprise, which promises q golden
harvest to our State and city, give the full
measure of their assistance to the work which,
on its completion, will most sssuredly bring us
fifty dollars for everyone expended.

Exit Grant.


Amid the uncertainties, the hopes and
approximations, that surround the inaugu-
ration of new administration, the South
seems to have permitted to pass almost
unnoticed an event which certainly must
rank first and highest in the list of bless
ings which she has experienced during
the whole period of her history subse-
quent to the war. Surely if ever grand
national TIE Deuna of exultation and thanks
giving had occasion to burst forth sponta-
neously from the hearts and lips of whole
people, it was when Grant stepped out of
the White House on the 4th of March and
surrendered Hnaliy power which he had
abused for the persecution and degrada-
ton of our Southern section.
| For the South, Grant was the incarna-
tion of hatred, the organ of sectional
ill-will, the faithful agent of national
tyranny. Without a sentiment of honor
in his heart, he degraded his office
into brokerage of rings and swindles, and, ,
to perpetuate the opportunity of traffic,
deliberately sustained his party in the
Southern States by means of the nationa al
army. The result of this was negro rule
in the South, with all its necessary accom-
paniments of plunder, bribery, perjury, ex-
travagance, debt aud general ruin. 1t was
like the permission given by victorious
commander to his barbarian allies, to sack
and ravage the conquered country-a policy
equally desirable to an unprincipled despot
as a means of retaining the Barbarians in
his service and of glutting q petty ven
geance on dreaded foe.
Let us say for Grant that no other man
than he could have dared to despise and
mock at the Constitution as he did in his mil
itary invasion of civil authority. 1t is true
that the mighty and lawless passions of the
great conflict still ragged in Northern
hearts and eagerly embraced every Op.
portunity of enting an unmanly aud un.
generons spite upon a defenceless people
but Northern common sense would have
recoiled from such assumption of power by
any one less worshipped as a hero thar
he was. His personal prestige com.
bined with sectional malignity render
ed possible the most hideo1s politica
wrong and disgrace that history has hither
to recorded-negro government of a aUhit,
people, enforced by other white people through
hatred.
} Grant voluntarily took on himself thu
Office of Cain; like Cain he goes fortE
into the world branded with infamy for
ever. On his forehead is inscribed
Drunken Debauch, Venal Depravity
Murderous Hate" In history he will bs
| held up to execration as President who
protected all the rogues in the country, {
statesman who regarded Office as an op
portunity for plunder, and an Executiy,
whose policy made him responsible foI
countless murders which he virtually g J.
couraged.
). Let the South rejoice. Grant is gone
aud the change cannot be otherwise thar
7 for the better.

at has often been said, remarks a secular
journal, "that the establishment of hospitals
was the peculiar work of the Christian Church,
and that no heathen nation has ever made
such provision. When China was opened to
the world, about thirty years ago, the first
American visitors speak of finding native hos
pitfalls there, inferring that the Christian Church
had been mistaken. But it now appears that,
venerable as these Institutions are, they
are reNlly of Christian origin, having been
founded by the early Roman Catholic mission
aries to that land"

In the van rode Grand Marshal 1. N. Marks
with about thirty aids, all splendidly mounted,
and then followed the twenty companies, each

sideS q large number of eugravings. Inc
Rembrandts are said to be the finest in e1-
istence. Among them are "The Night PAtrof
and the ''Rssurrsction of LszArus," which the
Czar offered to purchase q few years ago for
S1AO 600. That portion of the collection Known

1850 900. Many of the pictures now belonging
to the Due d'Aumale were formerly the prop
erty of the Prince de salerne, his father-in-law
from whom he inherited them. They formed
the nucleus of the entire collection, which has
been gradually increased for the last Ave and
twenty years.

At a recent meeting Of delegates from
the Irish Societies of New York for the
purpose of making arrangements for the
celebration of St. Patrick's day, MI. Edward
L. Carey stated that after consultation with
the delegates from q number of the societies
represeBted in the convention he had de-
ternined to withdraw the resolution offer
ed by him at the last meeting, which ques-
toned the advisability of holding any
parade this year on St. Patrick's Day, on
the ground that the financial condition of
the various societies was such that the
money would be better expended for the
legitimate objects of the societies. Over
thirty societies, had already engaged their
music, and number ofthem had arranged
for balls in the evening and had already
sold tickets for them. He estimated that
the parade and it's attendant meetings and
celebrations wonld not cost less than $75,-
900. If only portion of this money was
put into common fund for the purpose of
building a Memorial Irish Hall, in
three years the societies would not be de-
pendent as they were at present upon the
the whims and caprices of landlords and
such building would be self sustaining.
The Convention applauded Mr.. Carey's
determination to withdraw bis resolution.
