opecldl Correspondence OF the JOURNAL
BALTIMORE, June 5, 1878.
Last week an account was given OF
the Musical Festival, held at the
Academy Of Music and it is proposed
to give these concerts annually. We
have another series of entertainments,
however quite apart from these and
intended to continue during the sum
mcr months, known as summer gar
den concerts, the first of which was
held Monday night. Firstclass sing
ers (members of Opera troupes) have
been engaged, and each night after
the musical programme, the young
people of the audience trip it on the
light fantastic toe for a couple OF
hours. These concerts are held at
the Academy, which is so well adapt
ed for the purpose refreshments OF
all kinds are served in the cafes, and
altogether they are very fashionable
and we'll patronized.
Last Thursday was the day appoint
ed for the observance of the ceremo-
MES of decorating the Union soldiers
graves. About fifteen thousand per-
sons were assembled at Loudon Park
Cemetery, and at 8 p. M, when the
exercises were to have begun, sud-
den shower completely drenched and
scattered the assemblage. 1t contin-
to rain SO that it was impossible to
proceed. It was therefore resolved
by the members of the Wilson Post of
the Grand Army to take further oc-
casion to celebrate, especially the
burial-service of the departed of their
own ranks, combining with it the reg
ular memorial service for all the Un-
ion dead i'll Loudon Park. This reso-
luton was consummated last night at
Ford's Grand Opera House with about
two thousand persons present to wit
ness the interesting ceremonies. The
stage was elaborately decorated with
flowers and was occupied by the la
dies and gentlemen who took part in
the exercises. A handsome silver
mounted coffin was borne in, over
which the responsive burial service
was read. The oration was delivered
by Rev. T. J. Holmes, of this city,
who had been a chaplain in the army.
Musical and literary exercises follow
ed, which, Of course, were in strict ac-
cordance with the character of the
former services.
A most terrible accident happened
here yesterday, entirely the result of
meanness and carelesgness. A dwell
ling house was being built and was
reared to the third story, when the
wallssuddenly collapsed and nine men
were buried in the ruins. The super
intendent of the work died about ten
minutes after he was removed and
laid on the sidewalk. What heroic
spirit he must have had, for when,
with his limbs and body completely
crushed, he begged the men who were
lifting him out to leave him and help
his fellow-workmen. An officer walk
ed in front of the corse and gave the
stricken family the first intimation
they had Of the sad news. He left a
wife and six children. The other
eight men We're badly injured inter-
nally, so that the extent of the acci-
dent is not yet known, The cause
was discovered to have been the
thinness Of the walls, they being only
four inches in thickness.

before the influence Of new interests ere,

conflict of interests between our Northern

real conflicts Of interests, to oe fonno

Of classes irrespective of locality. Capital
North, South, and West, afaliates togetner

And now that we see old SECTIONAL pre-
iudices giving way so rapidly eefore this
now alliance Of class interests, now tnas 80
ciety is coming back once more to the nor
NAL control of business exigencles' nov
that politics are forming their line OF battle

A Solemn High Mass of Requiem was sang

WAS draped in mourning and In the 'sln
aisle was placed an imposing eatafalque Ta
nave of the Church was densely crowded a0a
in the sanctuary were the consuls OF diaa'Hi

Indeed, II we had to rely upon our own
opinion in 90 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 onr
part. We should consider 1t vast imper'
tinence to set up our Interpretation 10
iufallible and another's 40 heretical. II We
call 1t o heresy, 1t is because the Cathoiic
Church says 1t 10 o heresy.
It will be remarked that Mr.. Lloyd calls
bis opinion o "view"-"I gave my own
view" But is view sufficient in
matter of 80 much Importance a. this
If God has instituted hell, In she
common acceptance of that term, he must
have intended it as q warning as we'll az
punishment. He must have intended that
it should act as powerful check upon sin'
But how could that be unless men knew OF
| it's existencei To suspect it, to doubt 1t,
to have q "view" about 1t, would not DO
the intended effect would be abated OF
lost. And that this uncertainty would exist
If men were left to form an opinion from
text ia clear from the case of 80 Intelligent
| and earnest man as Mr.. Lloyd. There
fore there must be an fnfsllible tribunal tt
define the truth when men doubt and difel
about texts.

The Little Sisters of the Poor acknowledge
the receipt of forty barrels of COAL through
w. G. Coyle l. Co., from some unknown beue-
factor calling himself Santa Claus.
At an early day, the 14th of March probably,
an entertainment will be given in GruneWAlo
Hall by some of the most Jealous and inhuen'
tial ladies of the city, for the purpose OF as
oisting the Sisters in completing the new Wing
70 their splendid asylum. This improvement
was so much needed, by reason OF the nu
merous requests to receive deserving old Peo
ple daily urged upon the Sisters, that with
out dollar in their treasury they commenced
&he erection Of the new wing last November
depending upon the charity OF the PuOlic u
osaiSt them in paying for it.

Relief Not Yet.

"The diocese of Treves." says the Liverpool
Catholic Times, of the 10th of January ls
naipful illustratio of the working of the Falk
laws. At the opening of the present year there
were 1SO presbytaries vacant. Government In
Germany ia so psternal that the Catholics can
not have q priest at oil, when vacancy arises
nplsss he comes up to the taste Of the Ooer
President. We do not know how many persons
are deprived of spiritusl help by the absence
of 1sO clergymep, but IL We give o proportion
of three thousand souls to each-snd 1t is by
NO means exoessive-we find that half MIL
lion of Catholics ere suffering srievously Tor
their faith. How they are to obtain redress is
a problem only to be solved by the insorutable
viadom of Prince Bismarck. We were assured
few weeks ago that this war against ING
Church was wearying ont the agents chosen 10
carry it on. 1t was taken up warmly at hrss'
whom enthusiasm was strong; then IL oecame
n matter Of duty, shorn Of novelty; ana now
| even to the patient German, IL begins to savoi
| of barbarian. Possibly compromise Woulo
| bs accepted by the Chancellor, but we DO MOI
see how compromise can be entertained D!
the Church. Those who are wantonly ane
vickedly attacked, without provocation and
| for NO fault of their own, and the extinction o.
vbose natural rights is the object of the %
ssult, can scarcely be expected to plaoate tn
| aperessor by concessions of the kind he woult
demand, The scandal, therefore, 10 likely Il
continue for some time longer. Bismarck ma.
l tire in the end, or q stronger arm may inter
uose but we have not reached the point o
Il which our German brethren need look Tor muc
:. relief"
l. In this connection We direct attention to a
article copied on one of the inside pages of te
davis MORNING STAR from the London Table
giving q detailed statement of the results o
the perseoution in the two dioceses of Gnese
and Posen.

Rev. Father selle, of the Marist Order, was
some three years ago Curate of the church in
Algiers, where he did much for the advance
ment OF the religious interests of the people.
By his untiripg energy he also contributed
greatly to the erection of the fine new church
which now ornamsnts that district. The host
of friends and admirers whom he left behind
when he was transferred to his native coun-
try, England, will be pleased to learn that he
is in the enjoyment of excellent health and is
as Jealous as of old. We copy the following
item from en- English exchange:
CoNvERsIoNs.-Four converts of the He
brew race-a mother with her two daughteIl
and son-were solemnly received into the
true fold at st. Anne's, Spitalfelds, London
on Friday, January 4th, by one Of the Maris
Fathers, Father Selle, assisted by Fathe
Mcguire. Though measures had been takeI
to avoid too much publicity, large numbe
| gathered round the baptismal font.

The cotton receipts at this port to date, from
August 31st, amount to over 100000 bales,
being something moro than an increase OF
100, 900 bales over the receipts for the same
time last season. From Red River the re-
ceipts are 60, 900 bales ahead of last year; Ar
kansas receipts show an increase of about
three hundred per cent. and those from
Ouschits are nearly ten times as much as last
year up to the present time. Some of this in
Grease, says the Price Current, no doubt is due
to the good stage of water which we have had
in all our tributary streams, since the cotton
crop began to move, but q portion of the In
creased receipts must also be credited to the
energy Of our merchants, and the fact that
plantation supplies can be furnished at this
point cheaper than from any other source
while our cotton market offers greater induce
ments as to price and quicker returns to the
planter, and storage at lower rates, II cotton
is to be held, than can be found st any port
outside Of New Orleans.

The Most Rev. DR.. Conroy, Bishop of Ar
dsgh and Clonmacnoise, and Ablegate of the
Pope in the Dominion of Canada, having suo-
oessfully completed the mission on which he
came to America, some months ago, is now
visiting New York previous to his return to
Europe. He is the guest of Father Corooran,
pastor of st. Joseph's, Brooklyn, who was
one of his former students at All-Hallows.
The occasion of the Bishops arrival
was availed of by number of clergymen to
tender to him an expression of their affsc-
ton and regard for their beloved professor
and the presentation of the testimonial
which was in the form of beautifully de-
signed Album, containing the portraits of his
former students-with an accompanying ad
| dress, took place on the afternoon of Janu
ary 23d. The attendance, in accordance with
the express wish of Bishop Conroy, was con
fined almost exclusively to the old students o
All Hallows.

General Richard Taylor's "Reminiscences OF
the Civil War;" which we publish on the
third page of to-dsy's paper, will be found
axceedinely interesting. He explains how
and why the breach between Gen. Joseph e.
Johnston and President Davis occurred, and
iudulees in some severe Strictures upon the
oourse of Vice President Stephens during the
war, and his apparent Indifference to the fate
of Mr., Davis when that illustrious man was
