The Subscription Is Opened
OBJECT OF THE LOAN.

During the criss which followed the of secession,
and which weighed heavily the State OF Lou sisna
the Administrators of the Diocese Of New Orleans
assumed liabilities which they have determined to
quidate. In the past year better state of affairs
loomed up in the financial situation of the Diocese.
That improvement will increase the rate of interest
claimed by it's creditors is lessened.
The conventional rate in Louisiana is too high for
religious society the Of which, though entirely
secure, nevertheless limited, for such society
cannot look eventual profits in contingent under
taLings in epee uatops altogether inconsistent with
its mission Of benevoleree and charity.
Therefore 1t with view CT creating new debt
that this loan s negotiated, but order to unity and
consolidate liabilities and obtain their gradual
and regular extinction by means Of the ordinary
of the Diocese, and without endangerng the
Church property, although affecting it. Such 10 ths
plan positively approved by His Holiness. Plus TX,
and unanimously adopted by the Board of AdminstTa-
of the Roman Catholic Church of the Diocese of
New Orleans.

PILGRIMAGE TO ST pArR1cKS GRAVE.

1t is reported that 10 GOO people vieited St
P&trick's grave at DownpatIioh on the 18th of
March. In the afternoon q monster meeting
was held, at which the first resolution adopted
read az follows:
Resolred, That q native Parliament is the
only guarantee of liberty, as it is the creator
of public opinion and the best support of pub.
lie spirit; and country defrRuded OF that
great spirit must be prey to disorder and
corruption.
The second resolution WAS proposed by o
distinguished Presbyterian minister, Rev.
Isaac Newton. In Offering it, he delivered an
eloq uent and patriotic address, from which We
take this extract:
We meet to announce to Europe that we are
determined as q nation to make our own laws.

right, be conceded to u.s. We never can forget

INCREASE OF IMMIGRATIoN-ImmiGr grafton
at the port of New York thus far this season
has been much larger than it was last year.
The increase is composed chiefly of Germans.
The number of immigrants since January 1st
is 32l9, against 1881 in the same time last
year. The Increase is sid to be due to the
anticipation of a European war and the en-
couragement given by friends already in this
country. One of the noticeable features
among the immigrants is that those who are
| able-bodied star5 ct the earliest possible mo.
mept for the West. 1t is thought that the
total immigration to this country the current
year will exceed that OF last year by 10000 at
least.

A Solid South.

The republicans will not have q
single member of congress in the nexl
House of Representatives from the
south. We are fairly entitled to g
number who were honestly elected
but they have all been counted out
In North Carolina, three districts
were carried by the republicans, bu,
the democratic candidates have been
awarded the certificates. So in Ala
bama and Kentucky, to say nothing
OF Mississippi, South Carolina and
Louisiana, where the election was SIM
ply farce. The following from the
Chicago Tribune explains the manner
of the frauds and the extent to which
they have been carried:
The Bourbons of North Carolina are no
behind the Bourbons of South Carolina in
the fAaud business The methods differ.
but hessresults aimed at are the same. In
three of the Congressional Districts Repub-
lcans were fairly elected. Having been
elected, it is now proposed to count them
out under law passed by the last Demo.
cratic Legislature for this express purpose.
This law gives the precinct and county
officers, of election, who are all Democrats,
power to revise and correct them. The
system of revision and correction in these
districts will be to expunge the Republican
majcrities upon all sorts Of bubbles, and
thus return three Democrats in their places
In the other districts of the State, Demo
Gratis were elected by new style of fraud,
which consisted in taking the registration
lists before the polls were open and
marking off the names of colored Repub-
licans, and then informing them when they
offered their votes that their names had been
marked off for some reasons not known to
the judges and so their votes could not be
received. By this means six Democrats were
elected, and by the revision plan the three
Republicans who were elected will be coun-
ted out, so that the State will send solid
Democratic delegation to Congress. In
Louisiana, the Democratic delegation was
made solid by Acknowledgement of the black
Republicans. In Mississippi no negro dares
10 vote, SO there was no trouble there. In

Hon. l.. 3. CasWeIl.

The Chicago Tribune fails to com
ment on the increased majority by
which Hon. Lucien B. Caswell was re-
elected to Congress from the Second
district Of Wisconsin. That paper
which through Ignorance or for con.
s;deration, upbolds and excuses the
monstrous extortions of the Pacific
railways, predicted that the position
taken by Mr.. Caswell on the Texas
Pacific bill in the last Congress would
secure his overwhelming defeat. On
the contrary he was reelected by a
magnificent majority. This is the first
time the people have had an opportun
ity to express their feelings upon this
most important matter, affecting as ii
does the prices of everything which
must 90 to or come from California
and those who favor the Texas-P aci6c
bill can safely gauge their actions by
this expression. Mr.. Caswell did his
best in Congress for the overthrow Of
the Central Pacific robberies, and the
people of his district endorsed his
course at the first opportunity. We
apprehend Congsess will also endorse
his course by giving him his old posi-
ton in the railway committee. Fond

WHILE the Watertown Democrat
is taking ground in favor of a "right
about face" on the part of the leaders
of the democratic party to the end
that it may avoid defeats in the future
such as it has met with in the past
on account of its mistaken policy,
other democratic sheets are advocating
still stronger fusion with the green
hackers than that which existed this
fall. Elsewhere We copy an article
from the Fond du Lac Journal (dem J
which points unerringly to what may
be expected in 1880, to-wit, the repub-
Hcan party arrayed against the COM
bined forces Of the greenback and
democratic organizations. The Demo-
Graf will do we'll to heed the article
alluded to and prepare for the emer.

will the Democrat be found in that

please. 1t is bound to find fault
with us no matter what we do.
We might feel sorry for this, if we
cared whit one way or the other
what it says or thinks about US
Because we did not claim the result
Of the recent election here as re-
publican victory, that paper is
roaring mad. Of course it would
have howled ten times louder if we
had brought out our rooster and
boosted that Watertown is a repub-
lican city and that the republicans
had achieved brilliant political
triumph. But we did not do this,
simply because the fact is that the
reverse which the democratic
party met with here was in large
measure due to the action of demo-
Gratis. We stated a simple truth,
known and admitted by all, and
only awarded credit where it was
due. And this is what ails the
Democrat. That paper whitfield
about all through the canvass, first
taking high ground against the
Il l. Il y
ming for congress, and refusing to
hoist his name. It afterwards put
his name up, under protest it was
said, but still insisting that Davis
should repudiate the platform and
its greenbaCk doctrines, or give
way on the ticket to some honest
democrat who would do this. But
Davis knew trick worth two of
that, which was to pretend to be a
greenbacker IN Sank county, and
an honest money man in Jefferson
county; and SO he refused to comply
with the demands of the Democrat.
The next we hear of the paper it
came out the week before the cleo
ton, with flaming editorial advi-
sing all democrats to Weld Davis
a hearty support, and pledging
him as sound upon the financial
question. But when the votes
were counted it was found that the
German democrats of Watertown
were not to be bamboozled by the
democrats nonsense, for they re-
pudiated Davis, kicked over the
Madison platform, ignored the adj
vice of the Democrat, and voted for
man whom they knew had not
straddled the fence and was not
playing double on the great ques-
ton Of the dav. We do not blame
the Democrat for being disgruntled
under the circumstances, but pray,
neighbor, do not vent your spleen
upon us. If Davis did make an ass
OF himself, and if you did closely
initiate him in that respect, and if
you did find yourself 1idiculed for
your inconsistency and crookedness,
place the responsibility where it
belongs, and not at our door. The
most we can do is to sympathize
with you in being SO badly left by
your party, and to advise you to
profit by the lesson you have been
taught. Meanwhile stop growing
at us.

1t is evident enough that the Bourbon

fraud and there is no hope that there is
honesty enough among the Northern Demo-
Gratis TO decline TO let them have seats to
which they were never elected. Under
these circumstances, it becomes the duty of
those who are entitled to their seats to give
notice of contest, and for the Republican
members to boldly challenge the right OF
the South to break into the House and
steal Republican seats. They must de-
mand thorough investigation of these out

The Presidents Policy.

The gratifying news comes from
Washington that the president has
expressed a determination to bring to
punishment all those who were enga-
ged In the frauds perpetraed at the
late election in the south. While
maintaining the wisdom and correct
ness of his southern policy, he admits
that his kindness has not been received
as it should have been. In other
words, he has been badly sold by the
south, and Wade Hampton, Gov.
Nichols, and the rest from whom he
had a right to expect better things,
have played him false. It is to be
hoped that the president will not deal
in any half way measures, but will
mete out the full quota of justice to
the ballot box suffers and bulidozers
of the south that the enormity and
extent of their crimes call for. Elec
tons conducted as those were in the
south are farce, and no government
can stand for any length of time in
which such fraudulent affairs are
tolerated.
