Mexican Veterans Association to-day
adopted the following:
ReSo5osd, That we still hope that Congress,
which has hitherto failed to recognize the
services of the soldiers. sailors and marines
of the Mexican war, win at no distant day do
Justice to them all by giving them such q
pension as BELTS their services, and as will
save many OF them from want and suherngs
born of want, and comfort and cheer their
last days by the assurance that they are not
wholly forgotten by their country.
ReS0L0ed, That whatever claims these vet
eran survivors of the war with Mexico may
have upon their country, they stand upon
grounds 80 peculiar in respect TO the time and
circumstances in which they originated as to
fairly entitle them to the consideration OF
Congress upon their own merits.
The President OF the association was
empowered to take charge of the resolu-
tiOns concerning pensions and bring the
subject-matter thereof to the attention Of
the President and Congress at the earliest

Father o'COnnelPs Trial Interspersed

charges of conspiracy with defaulting
City Treasurer Crawford, and also of
criminal Intimacy with Crawiord's sister,
has created unprecedented excitement in
Catholic circles here. On Friday last a
local paper published charges supposed
to have been inspired by Father o'COn-
nell, declaring that Father Walsh,
the official prosecutor Of the case. had re-
sorted to extraordinary and unfair means
to secure conviction, and that he had dis
played a vindictive spirit throughout.
Today Father Walsh replies TO these
charges in published letter addressed to
Father OCOnnell.
TENOR OF THE LETTER.
Father Walsh expresses regret at the
PASTORS associations and his free use Of
the newspapers for Yentilating the pro-
ceedings Of the trial, which was conduct
ed under an Injunction Of secrecy. The
letter closes as follows:
because fOiled you and your part
ners at your own game, and exposed your
tricks, now, to be avenged,
you charge me with vindictiyeness
and sundry preposterous irregularities
Your condition is indeed excessively
pitiable, for, blinded by malignant passion
unworthy of a priest, and egged on to
your doom by interested and dangerous
associates, you are anticipating your
conviction, and dealing blows to religion
from which 1t viii reel for many a day
Out of my heart do pity you. recognizing
the depths to which you have fallen, and
pray that your eyes may be opened to the
error of your ways"
All the papers in the case have been
submitted to the Bishop, and his decision
is expected soon
