Further Trouble ut Mt. vt. Mary's
College.

A dispatch from Frederick, Nd, says that
another difficulty has arisen between the
receiver for Mt. st. Mary's College and
Father Byrne, namely: The alleged illegal
discharge Of Prof. Joseph Black, one of the
teachers in the college, and the refusal of
the president to reinstatc him in compliance
with the order Of the receiver. A petition
was filed to-day and an order was granted
by the court commanding Father Byrne "to
show cause, on or before Wednesday next,
why he should not be attached for contempt
in Obstructing the receiver in carrying out
the order of the court Ct August 8 directing
him to carry on the college for the present
academic year or until the further order of
the court" This paper will be served on
Father Byrne by tho sheriff this evening.
Capt. McSherry, in conversation with your
correspondent to-day, said that he has been
driven to the necessity of this course only
because every effort at an amicable adjust
mcnt has been frustrated by reason of
Father Byrne's refusal to recognize the
authority of the receiver. The hearing of
the case will take place on Wednesday,
Father Byrne will be represented by his
counsel, Hon. Frederick j. Nelson.

The JacObin Club.

The Jacobins were members of political
society founded in 1889, during the session
Of the States General at Versailles, by some
deputies from Brittany The society was
called the Club Bretony, but this was after
ward changed to "Societe dcs amis dc la
Constitution" When the Assembly and the
King removed to Paris the club followed,
and established itself in an old Dominican
monastery in the Rue st. Honore. The
French Dominicans were commonly called
Jacobins, from the fact that u church dedi-
Gated to st. James (Latin, Jacobus-
James " had been given to them shortly
after their settlement at Paris in the thir-
teenth century, and before great while
the name was adopted by tho new club
There were many distinguished men among
the members, and, as the opinions were
spread abroad in the columns of journal
Of their own, the influence of the club was
very great. Every political question and
every motion was debated there before being
presented to the National Assembly. As
the club grew more powerful its principles
became radical, until, in the spring of 1890,
Talleyrand, Lafayette and many other
moderate members withdrew and founded
the Club Of 1889" In nearly every town
and village in France revolutionary societies
on the Jacobin model were formed and
affiliated to the original club, whose orders
they implicitly obeyed. In short time
the Jacobins dictated every government
measure. In the revolutionary movements
Of juno and August, 1892 tho Jacobins
were foremost, and then originated the
revolutionary Commune dc Paris. Robes
pierre grew up through the Jacobins to
DO their most influential member. The
revolution of 1894 witnessed the overthrow
Of tho Jacobns, who went down shortly
after the fall of Robespierre. The frag-
ments Of tho Jacobins endeavorcd to form
some new clubs on the ruins of the old or
ganization, but failed Not long after the
club was suspended the monastery was de-
strOyed.
