--BrsHop Leray, OF this Catholic
Diocese, has been here all OF last
week, attending to its spiritual
wants, and officiating in his duties
as Bishop. On Saturday he cele-
brated Mass and invested two young
ladies, who for several years have
been on study and probation with
the koly Sisters of Mercy, at the
Convent here, with the white veil.--
On Sunday the Bishop preached a
most excellent sermon on the duties
of parents teaching their children
the true doctrines of christianity,
obedience and church duties, and we
feel secure In stating that he han.
died his fatheriy and advisory theme
in the true spirit OF the HPastoral
Father" and had the ear and conf
dence of his flock and hearers. Ga
Sunday evening, he officiated at Yes
pers and Benediction at the Catholic
Chapel In pineyille, and had large
and attentive aock as listeners. On
all three of these occasions Fathers
Aveusrd and Meanard, our residen,
Priests, were present and officiated
conformity with the Bishop.

Since last writing, the Legislature
has decided to adjourn on the first

has TRANSFERRED; the House has re-
pealed the Moffett Register Bill and
passed A license law in lieu thereof.
The Bill for the relief of your Rail
road has lost its place; 1t will be
called up again but, if opposed,
as is probable, will scarcely pass
both Houses. The Appropriation
Bill is up now in the House; as re-
ported, it is said to largely exceed
the revenue. notice one item of

many on this subject. While every
nation in time of peace should pre-
pare for war, our grand struggle is
so recent we have too many men that
know too much about war and too
little about anything else. There is
no likelihood of any use except for
police purposes and, in an emergen-
cy, volunteers can always be obtain
ed. So much complaint has been
made about the shrinkagc in assess
ments that a law will probably be
passed making a revision Of the pres

E
More boys are born than girls
in the United Kingdom" says the
London Times, ''but there are more
women than men living among Ne.
It Is . mere matter OF counting, and
the result is that there are nearly
million more females than males in
Great Britain and Ireland. Up to
the age Of ten the numbers living Of
the two sexes are probably not une-
quail, and it is then that the balance
which originally lay on the side Of
the males, shifts 70 the other sex. +
must not be concluded that the
change is entirely due to an excess
Of mortality among the males. Iii
no doubt true that the active liyesof
men expose them to more chances
of accident and peril than the sedan
tary lives Of women; but il must be
remembered, also, that the great pre-
ponderance of emigration is of men.
Some women accompany or follow
them, but they are relatively few,
and the preponderance Of female life
among US must be attributable main
" to this cause. In France, with q

Colored Emigration In the South.

Senator Window illustrated once
more to-day the curious ignorance Of
prominent .Kephblieans in regard to
the real condition Of the Southern
blacks. He proposed that a commit
tee Of Senators shall devise means for
the removal Of the negroes from such
parts of the South where they are re-
fused their rights to other ports of the
country, or to reservation. He ap-
pears to be ignorant Of the we'll known
fact that there is, and has been for
years, a constant and npimpeded MI
grafton of the blacks, movement
which has been aided and stimulated
by organized emigration societies Of
planters In such States as Louisiana
and Arkansas, and by colored emigra-
ton agents elsewhere acting as private
persons, giving intelligence co ncerning
lands, prices, wages, crops, etc. Hun.
dreds Of thousands of negroes have
emigrated from Southeastern to South
western States Ia the last half dozett
years, and it would probably amaze
Senator Window to know that Arkan.
aas, Louisiana and Mississippi have
been favored States with industrious
colored men seeking new homes, and

Senator Morton was vainly trying to

leading Republican Senators would
take the trouble to travel through the
Southern States and investigate fairly
the condition Of the negroes they
would not offer such ridiculous resolu-
tons, which are evidently based upon
a aupposition that the Southern blacks
are serfs of the soil. unable to leave
