IRELAND, H'QU4ID.


Some EccIesins stical inaccuracies Corrected.
PARIS. March 1871 have Just fallen in with
a number Of that excellent Journal the Nc,r
York Tribune. In which l find the following
statement:
Bishop McQuaid OF Rochester has been reprimandcd
by Leo Kill for the attack made from the pulpit of
his cathedral on Archbishop Ireland. and notice OF
the reprmand has been conveyed by the Popes order
through Cardinal I,edochowski to Archbishop Corri.
gan. who Is Bishop McQuad's metropolitan. Bishop
McQuaid has received severe reprmand. and Is ex.
pected to make due apology for his grave breach OF
ecclesiastical discipline. The right OF Archbishop Ire.
land to speak and act he did in New York Just be.
fore the late election is practically Acknowledged
The information on which the Tribune relied
in publishing these statements was false No
apology has been exacted from Bishop McQuaid
Archbishop Ireland's course has not been ap-
proved. Indeed. so far MS any reference was
made thereto, there was an implication of dis
approval.
What really occurred was rs follows: Some
ono complained to the Vatican, and Bishop Nc
Quaids attention was called to the matter in an
informal letter saying the report of the occur
renee had caused pain to the Holy Father To
this Bishop McQuaid replied that nothing
in tho world could cause him so much
regret as the thought that he had
caused pain to tho Holy Father; but he
desired to state the circumstances under which
he had acted. He then went on to narrato
various acts of Archbishop Ireland which were
wholly unknown to tho Vatican, and caused
surprise there. But, as charges were made
against Mgr. Ireland. it was not thought proper
to pass judgment directly on these things,
though they prevented any even implied ap-
proval OF his course. Then a letter was written
to Bishop McQuaid by one of the Secretaries
at the Vatican in the kindest possible
spirit. containing mild and paternal
admontion. as from the mild and patcrnal heart
Of tho Holy Father. Regret was expressed at
the occurrence and all that had led up to it, and
the opinion was added that it would be better if
no Bishop criticised another and no Bishop in.
terfered in another's diocese.
In all these things there was nothing in tho
nature OF arepriman6 and nothing that judged
with severity anything done by Bishop McQuad

Mr.. Carlisle's Predicament.

Most citizens win agree with the Nc,t
York Times in the opinion that it is difficult
10 comment upon Secretary CARllsLE's per
formance ut Quarantine the other day, ex-
cept in terms that at first sight may seem
more harsh than the circumstances justify.
The accidental fact that no disease
has been spread, and no human life en-
dangered by the removal of young CARLISLE
from the Paris by his father the Secretary
Of the Treasury, before the ship ha;, passed
inspection by the Health Officer, has moth
ing to do with the case. The laws Of New
York and the laws of the United States do
not intrust the Secretary of the Treasury with
the responsibility of determining whether
passenger may or may not be landed with
safety to the public health. Under the laws,
Mr.. CARLsLE's offence is precisely the same
as IL he had misused his official authority by
taking revenue cutter and going down the
bay and smuggling past Quarantine a
cholera patient or a person afflicted with the
smallpox or the yellow fever.
The friends of Mr.. CARLISLE have nothing
to say in his defence except that he was
ignorant Of the State law which he violated.
This plea is more h,rnlliatng to the Secre-
tary of the Treasury than would be an open
confession of wilful defiance of the law
Quarantine regulations are understood and
respected the world over. 1t is a very low
grade of intelligence and poor stock Of
general information which has managed, up
to Mr.. CARLIsLE's time of life, to have es-
capped the knowledge which ninety-nine out
of every hundred adult Americans possess.
Moreover, it Is not a question of State laws
only. The statutes OF the United States
make it Mr.. CARL1sLE's duty, as Secretary
no interference, by customs officers or the
crews Of revenue cutters with State quar-
antine laws or regulations, and that all Of
his subordinates in the Treasury Department
shall faithfully aid the local health officers
In the execution of the same
Saturday was damaging day to Mr.. CAR
LIsLE's reputation. In the first place, fol-
lowing the perpiclous example set by Mr..
CLEVELAND, he misappropriated Govern
ment vessel and used it for the private con-
venience of himself and a member of his
family. In the second place, he employed
the authority of his presence aboard the rev.
enue vessel to induce his subordinates to
break the quarantine, thus violating the laws
both of the State of New York aud of the
United States.
The Secretary Of the Treasury has as lit
tie respect for quarantine regulations az the
EUentnJ Post has. He seems to regard the
whole system which experience has devised
for the protection of the health Of the city
and nation, with somewhat of the selfish
and insolent contempt which GoDKIN has
manifested toward it ever since that public
nuisance was detained for few days at

Our Venezuelan Claims.

The award made this week to the Venez-
uelah Transportation Company Of New
York, by joint Commission, for the seizure
OF three of its steamers ON the Orinoco
many years ago, recalls public attention to
the fact that our Government, as we'll as
Great Britain, has a chronic controversy
with Venezuela.
But there is n marked difference between
the two disputes both as to the subject mat
ters involved and the methods of treating
them. In the year 1869 the Congress of
Venezuela threw open the navigation of the
Orinoco and its tributaries to the flags of
all nations. Under that decree, and in vir-
tue, also, of special grants made to it, the
Venezuelan Steam Transportation Company
OF this port was organized and built steam
ers. Scarcely was it we'll established when,
In 1871, revolution broke out in VeneZ-
uela, and both the Government forces and
insurgents hastened to seize it's steamers
The Hero, the San Fernando, and the Nutrias,
for which an indemnity of Sid l 900, without
interest, has just been awarded, were thus
seized, their flags We're hauled down, and
their officers were imprisoned. An award

OF the outrage, the cruiser Shawmut, then
In our navy, was sent to Ciudad Bolivar
and procured the release of the steamers
which We're found to be somewhat damaged
Ever since the question of indemnity has
been under consideration, Venezuela's MANY
domestic troubles have been in the way of
Its settlement, and our Government has
preserved its policy of forbcarance toward
weak republics Besides, this matter has
been somewhat complicated with other
claims In 1868 mixed Commission had
adjudicated claims of citizens of the United
States against Venezuela, and afterward
House committee reported that the
proceedings were of such a character and
some OF the claims so questionable, that it's

OF the awards, and then Congress for long
time took no further steps. At length an
other Commission was appointed, ten years
ago, which renewed the proceedings of the
first, struck off n large part OF the awards,
and made one or two others. But meanwhile
the steamship claim had been postponed,
until, at last, the company, weared with
the delay, obtained from Congress in 1890 a
resolutlob III which the President was
thereby authorized and empowered to take
such measures as in his Judgment may be
necessary to promptly obtain indemnity
from the Venezuelan Government for the
seizure of the three vessels mentioned. and
for the injuries to their officers; and he was
authorized to employ such means or exer-
else such power as may he necessary"
Out of this resolution, by various steps,
has come the award just made. IN view of
the fact that the wrong was done nearly II
quarter of century ago, and that nearly
five years have elapsed since The resolution
Just quoted was passed, it will be seen that
our Government has been very patient with
Venezuela.

able in its course to that Of England in en-

The Afrront to bismarck Reproved.

The outburst of wrath and indignation
with which the mass of the German people
have rebuked the Reichstas for Offering an
indignity to BISMARCK, has caused the En-
peror to announce purpose of dssolving
that assembly and of giving the consttuen-
cies chance to return Deputies more truly
representative Of their feelings toward the
aged Chancellor. Further to emphasize his
recognition of the Indictment of the nation
and the dynasty to the founder of German
unity, WILLIAM II. has signifed an inten-
tion of directing Gen. Won WALDERsEE who
will be presently made Chancellor to con-
fer with BISMARCK in regard to his political
| programme. In other words, BISMARCK, at
eighty years OF age, is to stand forth once
more in the eyes of foreign powers and his
own countrymen as the States chief pilot.
In no other way could the German En-
peror have so endeared himself to the peo-
pie as by thus redressing the atfront to
| which on Saturday the nations benefactor
was subjected ut the hands of m unpatri-
otic parliamentary majority. BY this act
| he has made himself the heir of BISMARCK'S
popularity, and has enlisted firmly on his
| side an immeasurable moral force which
| was but recently arrayed against him. 1t
| is fortunate, indeed, for WILLIAM II. that
| he should have had an opportunity of cor
| recting his earlier mistake, whereby he
| risked divorcing from the dynasty the emo
tions of gratitude and reverence which the
| services of the Iron Chancellor awaken in
the German heart. On the other hand, it is
unfortunate for the Centrist and Radical
members of the Reichstag, who have al
| ctrr
things, they were patriots, that they should
have allowed personal grudges and politi.
cal resentments to obscure their sense of
national obligation, and should have
deemed themselves capable of stcmming
an overwhelming current of honorable
popular sentiment.
Should new Reichstag, rs now seems
probable, be chosen soon after BIsMARCIi's
birthday, we are likely to see II decided
change in the relative strength of political
parties. In the number, indeed, of Social
ist, Polish, Danish, Guelphic and Alsatian
members, no marked diminution need be
looked for; for the constituents of these
men desire the emascuation or dsmemher-
ment OF the present empire, and they cannot
be expected to regard with sympathy the
principal creator of Germany's unity and
greatness. The Centrists and Richtcrist
Radicals, however, can scarcely prevail on
their constituents to declare unqualified
approval Of the insult offered to the
veteran cx-Chancellor, and they may suf-
fer losses so considerable as to place q
majority of seats in tho hands of

At the bottom of all the important meas
urcs of the Rcformcrs, every one OF them
offered for the Regeneration of our city
government, there can be seen the great
democratic principle of rotation in Office.
The spoils must be given to the victors, not
only because they belong to them, but for
the furtherancc Of the popular will rs ex-
pressed by the victory.
The Committee of 20 want every Office
in sight to be made subject to the control of
their representative, Mr.. STRONG. Every
officer is to be made removable without the
hampering formality of charges. Heads of
departments and Judges alike must all be
wiped out. The Reformcrs hold that for sat
isfactory government the successful party
must lie absolute over all offices, and be free
to fill them with their own men, without
respect for the past and without the inter
ference of familiar civil service ideas. The
sweep must he clean, and it must reach be-
yond the sight of old-fashioned Democrats.
Perhaps, after all, the Rcformers are the
real Democrats, the rock-ribbed believers in
the theory that successful party must bear
full responsibility for the Government, down
