The Attitude Of the Great Gen
erals Of the Confederacy To-
ward Slavery.

Washington Post
The attitude of mos. Ct the
great generals of the Confe5;etacy
toward slavery is ser foltn in a
recent book, the writer showing
that the men who led the cause
had little at stake save principle.
Robert E. Lee, it is asserted,
never owned a slave, except a
few inherited from his mother
all Of whom were emancipated
by him long before the War. Gen.
Joseph E. Johnston owned none,
and regarded the institution un,
favorably. Gen. A. P. Hill owned
none, and Gen. J. E. B. Stuart
inherited one and purchased an
other, but disposed of both before
the war. F'itzhugh Lee owned
none, while Matthew F. Maury
owned but one, a woman, who
remained in his service some
years after the war. Maury said
the institution OF slavery was a
c lrse.
According to the author, even
'Stone va,i jackson owned but
two s!ave:, a man and a woman,
uotn Of wnom he purchased at
their own solicitation. He told
them that they could purchase
their freedom by saving their
wages and reimbursing him for
their purchase price. The man
did this, but the woman prefer
red to remain in the service of
the family.
Thestory strongly supports those
Whohave always contended that
the South fought for principle
rather than the fortunes tied up
in slaves. 1t makes it clear that
the generals who led the cause
were certainly inspired by any
thing but selfishness.

DECREE AFFECTING MANY
LOCAL CATHOLIC PRIESTS

Many priests of the Erie diocese Of the
Catholic church will be affected by new
decree of the Consistorial congregation,
which will be made effective us soon as
possible. BY this decree they will be
placed in the position of an irremovable
rector. There are now about half dozen
priests ia this diocese who come under this
designation which means that they can
only be ordered to other pastorates for
canonical reasons.
The new decree provides that no priest
can be removed from his parish excepting
on trial, and nine causes for action against
him are named. These include perpetual
incapacity loss Of reputation, administra-
tion, confirmed disobedience and gross
neglect Of duties.
The decree is interpreted as definite
pronouncement on the authority OF the
bishops. It is regarded as safeguarding
the episcopal powers for the benefit of
those who come under the jurisdiction.
While priests have always had the
right to appeal to Rome, the new decree Is
regarded as giving to all priests afuller OPP
portunity to be heard If they should be
brought up for discipline.
As general rule, such regulations as
these are seldom invoked in the affairs of
the Catholic church, a simple request from
their bishop being oil that is needed to
induce pastors TO leave one field Of labor
for another,
