O'DonoVan-RoSSa.

Reports are conflicting and ambiguous |
on the subject of the late riots at Toronto. |
Several days ago it was telegrsphed |
that the killed and wounded amounted to
several hundred men. At the same time
it was said that only a5ont one hundred
and fifty persons were in the ball, whore
the orator was leetaFiag Since that effort
the telegraph has become mysteriously
silent.
1t is certain, however, that brutal and
murderous assault was deliberately plan
ned and executed with as deliberate con-
nivance ON the part OF the Government.
Although we do not sympathize with
O'Donovan Rosa, and his followers in
their policy, we cannot find language to ex-
press our adherence of their treat
ment. Mr.. Rossa seems to represent the
! Irish World, or anti Catholic, element of
the Irish in America. That is, he puts him
self in antagonism with the clergy. The
Archbishop of Toronto disapproved of his
intended lecture and all the really Catholic
Irishmen of the place coincided with that
prelate in their sentiments.
Since Rossa's escape from Canada it ap
pears that he attempted to lecture in Can
andaigua, N. Y, but without success, owing
to the opposition of the clergy and laity of
D the Catholic Church. These orators and
3 tax collectors who assume to represent
o Ireland and yet make war on the Irist
: clergy, will learn after while that wher
t they leave out the practical Catholics there
is nothing left.
Still, it is impossible to deneunce will

Rev. I. Enright, G. IS. r., will deliver
lecture this, Sunday evening, at : o'clock, in
the Church ofSS Peter and Paul. His sueiect
no charge for admission, bnt o collection will
be taken up for tho benefit of the poor visited
by the local Conference OF the st. Vincent de
Paul Society.
Father Enright was known to the people OF
the Old Third District some twenty five years
ago as the brightest boy in their schools and
as one of the most pious and exemplary in the
congregation OF old st. Peters. The long years
of arduous laOors on the Missions throuG Ghout
the United States, North, West and South, that
have since intervened, have not dimmed the
memory of those he left in the home OF his
youth, and when his old tutor aud friend, Very
Rev. C. MoynihAn, pastor now as then of st
Peters, asked him to lecture in his church
Father Enright's prompt and cheerful accept
ance betrayed the heartfelt joy he felt at tn
opportunity of addressing q congregation i
which there will no doubt be many of tn
friends of his bOyhood's days.
Ever mindful that his mission is to "Ro abou
doing good, !" he makes the joyful occasion II
means of Bringing assistance to the poor
the locality in which many OF the happie
days of his life were passed, and in this '
are sure the generous people not only of
Peter's, but OF the entire District, those VII
have only heard of him no less than thot
vho have known him, will lend their aid vii
"a lavish hand.

AnderSon'S Case.

There has been good deal of criticism |
upon the decision given by the Supreme |
Court of Louisiana in the case of Thos. c.
Anderson charged with forgery in altering
public record or with utteriug it after be-
ing altered. We have been surprised
to see some of these comments in the pub
lie prints. We say surprised, because the
Judgment is not yet final. After the read
ing of opinions by the Supreme Court
certain length of time is given during which
applications for rehearings may be made
and until that time has elapsed the judg
ments are under the control of the court.
Outside influences are, therefore, as i'm
proper at that period as previously. And
particularly when this outside pressure is
brought to bear in sense adverse to Glenn
cncy in criminal prosecutions, it would
seem that inhumanity is added to indelica
ICy.
We do not, therefore, intend at this time
to express an opinion upon the action OF
the Court, but we desire to give sketch
of certain principal portions of the de-
cision and in language suited to popular
comprehension, 30 that our readers may
not be confused by technical expression
nor obliged to wade through the whole
decision in order to master it's real import

LETTER FROM TICKSBURG.

V1CKsBURG, MISS, March goth. 1873.
Editor Morning Star:
On the 10th inst. Fathers Cogan of Canton
and Meerschaert, of Ocean Springs, began
mission here, which closed on the 18th. 1t
was, by Gods grace, crowned with great ,snc.
cess Nearly loco persons received Holy CON-
m union and onr Right Rev. Bishop confirmed
quite o number of adults on the night of the
18th. The O'Clock Mass and sermon every
morning and the evening sermon and Bene-
diction brought to the church crowds so great,
that even standing room was often not attain
able.
On the 18th the Hibernians paraded and
assisted at the Pontifcal Mass by Bishop Elder.
They afterwards enjoyed good time in their
hall, and comported themselves during the day
as sons of st. Patrick, true to his faith and
teaching, should.
The preliminary steps towards building
male school are about completed and we hope
by September 1st we shall have building and
all the other requisites to give our boys what
our girls have long enjoyed, an opportunity to
receive thorough Catholic education. We
have been delayed somewhat by the sickness
of our pastor, whose great lsbors have reacted
upon him. Bat new he is moving every stone
and using every exertion to bring his plans
for the good of his congregation to q happy
fruition. MAGIsTER.

are now carrying grain to New Orleans for six
cents bushel, which is just about one-third

the lowest rates it will get by the lake Fouta

widest dreams in Chicago they never presum-

y
is certainly creditable, considering the very
important items of expense fastened upon
IA by a Constitution made up in the inter-
est of fraud and extravaganza. 1t ls true,
says Mr.. White, that the rate of taxation ls
much higher now than before tho war, but
that is absolutely necessary II the same
amount of revenue is to be raised, because
the assessed value of property to be taxed
ia immensely less now than it was then.
Not only lie all the slave value obliterated,
but real estate has greatly deprecated.
All this looks we'll enough for the inten-
tions of the governing powers, still the fact
remains that taxation is enormously high.
A man must pay about 80 much tax here
as his whole revenue would amount to in
Europe, for in many European countries
three per cent year is considered very good
interest on ones capital. Here the tax
eatberer would take the whole of that for
public purposes.
1t must be admitted too that three
feurths of our public revenue is required to
pay interest on the public debt, burthen
bee ueathed to US by the dishonest rascals
who in the name of the Republican party
took forcible possession of our State Gov
ernment and kept it under the protection
of United States bsyonets. The thievish
ingenuity of these vagabopds is now called
the Louisiana debt, and the interest OF
that debt is nearly as great an incubus
upon the Democratic party as though crea-
ted by it's own mismanagement.
Our late Legislature did nothing towards
Tightening that burthen perhaps it could
not but it did not show any great anxiety
to attack wickedness in it's strongholds
While giving it credit for some consider
able movement in the interest of economy
we find the Lottery Company, the Slaugh
ter House monopoly, the Gas Company
the Old and New Canal frauds, the Sheriff
bonanzas and all the other inventions by
which people are plundered without tht
intervention of the tax collector-all in full
bloom, all unhurt, all as safely entrenchel
as ever.
We want more than mere economy il
public expenditure-we want the outside
taxation stopped. If we must pay thre
per cent, let that be all let taxation fol
private pockets come to an end. 1t is clea
that we did not have the right sort of mel
this time for this work. OF course there ar
honorable exceptions men who did inaugu
rate measures that ought to have beer
passed but were not. These few men cal
stand on their record. Those who have n
record ought to be left at home next time

The legislature.

In speech delivered by Hon. E. D.
White of our State Senate just before the
adjournment of the Legislature, good deal
of statistical information is given of a ma
ture quite creditable to Democratic control.
Mr.. White points out wherein expenses are
cut down several hundreds of thousands OF
dollars below the most economically ad-
ministered year of the Republican supre-
macy, and even considerably below the fg.

The German Vote.

The Germans, very naturally, are
indignant at the oft-repeated twaddle
that the German vote is going solid
for the Democratic party. They re-
seat it as belittIing the German
mind. They declare that among
Germans there is as much individu-
ality of thought and action rs among
any other nationality or race; that
Germans think and act as indepen-
IDENTIFY as Americans, and that this
campaign will prove no exception to
their general course. They love free
dom they hate slavery in all its
forms. They emigrated TO this cOun-
try in the pursuit of freedom, Of in
dependence in thought and action,
and declare that the great mass of
their voters will be found in Novem-
ber, as in all times past, under the
banner and shouting the names of
the candidates of the only party
whose history and creed are guaran-
tees of that liberty and independence
in the pursuit Of which they sought
the shores of America.

An interesting article in the New
York Stm refers to what we still do
not know about Africa, and it is
shown that of that vast continent
fully one-third remains to be opened
up by explorers. The great peninsu.
Ia east of AhysSinia and north Of
Zanzibar, inhabited by a fierce Mo
hammedan population and rich with
monuments Of ancient civilization,
has never been penetrated except for
short distances inward. Leaving the
Indian Ocean and skirting the equa-
tor from the Juba river, in the So
mauli region, to the Kingdom of
M'Tse, on Lake Victoria Nyanza,
the explorer would learn something
about the lofty range of mountains
said TO follow in this quarter the di-
rection Of the meridfans. As to the
western and southern shores of the
Albert Nyanza, only conjectural data
are possessed. Following the equa-
tor westward a " ide tract, stretching
across fifteen degrees of longitude,
remains to be explored. On each
side of the equator, there are also
wide spaces that are as yet blanks
upon the maps. Then there is the
vast region of the Sahara, and SO
long incorrectly described as an in
discriminate waste; while to the
eastward stretches another tract,
vaguely comprehended, with equal
distortion Of the truth, under the
term Libyan Desert. This country,
possessing an area equal to three
fourths of Europe, does, in fact, pre-
sent the greatest diversity of soil
and climate, and nOurishes in some
of its oases civilizations of great an
tiquity and considerable refinement.
The Stanleys of the future have
plenty of opportunities yet left to
distinguish themselves in these un-
known lands, and so contribute to
the sum of human knowledge.
