Relief Not Yet.

"The diocese of Treves." says the Liverpool
Catholic Times, of the 10th of January,"is q
painful illustration of the working of the Falk
laws. At the opening of the present year there
were $50 presbytaries vacant. Government in
Germany is so paternaf th1t the Catholics cam
not have priest at all, when o vacancy arises,
unless he comes up to the taste of the Ober
President. We do not know how many persons
are deprived of spiritual help by the absence
of 190 clergymen, but If We give q proportion
of three thousand souls to each-snd 1t is by
no means exceesive-we find thst half q mil
lion of Catholica are suffering grievously for
their fsith. How they arc to obtain redress is
. problem only to be solved by the inscrutable
wisdom of Prince Bismarck. We were assured
Church was wearying out the agents chosen to
carry 1t on. 1t was taken mp warmly at arst,
when enthusiasm was strong; then 1t became
o matter Of duty, shorn OF novelty; and now,
even to the patient German, 1t begins to SAVIOR
of barbarian. Possibly q compromise would
be accepted by the Chancellor, but We do not
see how compromiso can be entertained by
the Church. Those who are wantonly and
wickedly attacked, without provocation and
for no fault of their own, and the extinction of
whose natural rights is the object of the as
sault, can scarcely be expected to plscate the
aggressor by concessions of the kind be wouid
demand. The scandal, therefore, is likely to
continue for some time longer. Bismarck may
tire in tho end, or . stronger arm may inter-
pose but we have not reached the point at
which our German brethren need look for much
relief"
! In this connection We direct attention to an
article copied on one of the inside pages OF to,
days MORNING STAR from the London Tablet,
giving q detailed statement of the results Of
the persecution in the two diocesss of Gnesen
and Posen.

Indeed, IL we had to rely upon our own
opinion in 30 momentous . matter, we
should drop it in despair and not have any
opinion at all. If, therefore, Mr.. Lloyd
finds that we call his doctrine heresy, We
hope that he will not justify us by suppos-
ing any amount of "conviction" on our
part. We should consider 1t . vast imper-
tinence to set up our Interpretation ~
infallible ard another's ~ heretical. If We
call it q beresy, 1t 10 because the Catholic
Church says it 10 heresy.
It will be remarked that Mr.. Lloyd calls
his opinion "view"-'I gave my own
view." But ia view sufficient in q
matter of SO much importance as this !
If God has instituted hell, in the
common acceptance of that term, he must
have intended it as q warning as well a.
punishment. He must have intended that
it should act as powerful check upon sin.
But how could that be unless men knew OF
its existencei To suspect it, to doubt it,
to have "view" about 1t, would not do I;
the intended effect would be abated or
lost. And that this uncertainty would exist
if men were left to form an opinion from q
text is clear from the case of 60 intelligent
and earnest q man as Mr.. Lloyd. There
fore there must be an fnfallible tribunal to
define the truth when men doubt and differ
about texts.

General Richard Taylor's "Reminiscences of
the Civil War;" which we publish on the
third page of to-day's paper, will be found
exceedingly interesting. He explains how
and why the breach between Gen. Joseph E.
Johnston and President Davis occurred, and
indulges in some severe structures upon the
course of Vice President Stephens during the
war, and his apparent Indifference to the fate
Of Mr.. Davis when that illustrious man was
in prison after the war. Mr.. Stephens, We
learn by telegraph from Washington, intends
to answer General Taylor in the international
Rsviets. One of the most interesting passages
to Louisianians Of Gen. Taylor's article, is that
giving . sketch Of the celebrated Tiger Rifles
and their renowned commander, Major Robert
Wheat.

and the presentation of the testimonial
which was in the form of a beautifully de-
signed Album, containing the portraits Of his
former students-with an accompanying ad-

IMPROVEMENT. IN COURT ExPENsEs-The Grand
Jury of New Castle in their report last week to
the court among other things to which especial at
tention was called, was the following:
, The service of single term on the Grand Jury of
TINS comfy cannot fail to convice any man of
ordinary intelligence that there is pressing necessity
for some change in the laws of this State for the pun
lshment OF crimes of uniform grade-we refer more
especially to cases of assault and battery and petty
larceny.
It is not unfrequenty the case that personscharged
with offences of this kind supported as prisoners
ut the expense OF the county for months The term
OF the Grand Jury well that of the is
cupied for considerable time and scores of men.
whose time to them is valuable, kept waiting for
days together until cases of this kind disposed of
some of them not making in the issue much as the
fees OF witness for single day, and indulge the
hope that the time is not far distant when shall
have some tribunal by which offences of this kind
may be disposed OF in more expeditions and less
penSive manner.
The suggestions named above are no less important
to New Castle than our own. The trial of these
petty cases makes courts costly and tax on the
time of the business men who are required to at
tend them, and it is wonder that it has been allowed
to exist SO long. In fact the last Republican Legsla
ture about twenty years ago. did pass bill establish
ing inferior courts and enlarging the jurisdiction o.
Justices of the Peace, that in fair way to nee
the requirements of the case but repealed by the
| subsequent Legislature before it had been fairly
under trial Perhaps the Act as then adopted coul(
be greatly improved but it covered, think nearl!
every phase Of that as presented above If sucl
a law was at all needed then it is much more now, a
the criminal cases all the time on the increase
especially in New Castle CO. The cost Of most of thes
cases WILL tits said average nearly 500. Then in addi
ton to this. is the heavy cost of boarding them il
the county Jail for months. The plan of keeping
man in Jail five or six months is detrimental al
around. If he is innocent. it is a great injustice
him and his family; if guilty he should have speed
justice administered to him possible, an
the county relieved of his burden. Many criminal
go unwhipped of justice because the suffering one
shrink from the publicity and task of halfweeks
tendance atthe county seat Petty thievng, especial
of females for this reason most always gets off
the culprt leaving one home to perpetratc til
same offence at another. If a bill establishing Magi
trate Courts were made law we believe most
these offenders would be brought to justice pett
