Thm Presidemt's Reogihteon.Themasterly-argamestofhsas.O'Coaor,

Esq., on the question of the President'sright to reconsider his recognition of a de

facto State Government, is copied by asto-day from the New York Herald in which.It originally appeared. Though a personmay hesitate between his conelusions andthose of Beverdy Johnson on the samesubject, there can be no question as tothe lucidness of his style and the profoundanalytical powers of his mind.

Mr. O'Conor holds that when there aretwo or more de facto governments in aState it in the business of Congress to de-cide which is legitimate, or, in case Con-gress should not be in session, that it isthe President's bousiness to make a pro-visional decision of the case to be bindinguntil Congress shall act. The Ion. Beverdy Johnboson contends that the Presideothaving once given a judgment in the ease,that judgment is final unless reversed byCongrese,-that the President himself can-not review ILt. Mr. O'Conor thinks thathe may, and ought to, do so whenever con-vinced of error.

The New York Herald finds in Mr.O'Conor's views the practical inconve-nience that the President might change hisjudgment too often. For instance, if nowhe should declare himself to have beenoriginally in error on the Loisisna gques-tiob and bshould thereupon discard Kelloggand recognize McEnery, he might nextweek again change his mind and our Gov-ernor. The rule might work well once andbadly another time.

On the other hand courts themselveshave the right to annoul their finoal judg.ments in certain cases, which is practioallU.to reverse them. By the laws of Louisianafor instance, a final judgment, art. 607 C.P., may be annulled when "obtainedthrough fraud or other ill-practices." Nodoubt, according to this principle, whiechis one of essential justice and ought to bein force every where, the President orCongress might reverse a judgment as tothe de facto government of a State, not inevery case and as a mere matter of whim,but whenever the first judgment had beenobtained through fraud, perjury or otherimmoral means. This would make a com-promise between Mr. Johnson and theHerald on ozne side and Mr. O'Conor onthe other. It would provide that thejudgment o. a President or Congress shouldnot be altogether immutable in every pos-sible case, and that, at the same time, itshould not be liable to the capricionus un-certainty feared by one of the parties.

So far as this view would affect theLouisiana case, its benefit. would be asmarked ,as under the more latitudinarianrule of Mr. O'Conor, for manifestly thePresident, if he was honest in his firstjudgment, was cheated into it. Mr. O'Con-or himself assumes the fact to be nowuniversally admitted that the whole Kel-logg casewas based on fraud and made outin perjury. Certainly the President had,then, a right to annul his first decision,without even waiting for the the coup dectatwhich terminated Kellogg's de factodyism.

The Devil's Wages.

Bismarck is on the downward road. Thereis no rascal so smart but that the secrets ofhis villainy are known to somebody, andif that somehody is about to tell tales theday of tribulation is upon lim. CountVon Arnim,4it appears, knows a little toomuch about Bismarck, and, if it shouldbe published, the world which Bismarckworships, ana which worships him, wouldturn in disgust away from him. Thoseshrewd knaves who trick the world for awhile, generally get caught at last, theirmask is torn ruthlessly away, and the heroof an hour before stands confessed a mererogue. We doubt not that Bismarck's pol-icy has been babitually as unscrupulousand criminal as his recent persecution ofCatholics proves hlis lheart to be. From apolluted fountain no pure water will flow.

That in this boasted nineteenth centuryany man should dare to adopt such meansas the Prussian Chancellor has in this in-stance employed, seems incredible. Arrest., imprisonment, domiciliary searchesnot only at the home of the accused but inthe houses of his friends and relatives, andall on mere suspicion, no proof, no affi-davit, the sudden seizure, the secret cell-why, are we back to the age of Caligula andNero? What greater despot ever reignedthan the world- worshipped Bismarek ?

Bet what will the freedom lovers of Eng-land and America say shout the Von Aroamcase?9 Not one word of censure. Will theAmeaican press thrill with the indignationwhich such outrages ought to produceT NoIndeed. Bismarek is the hero of the anti-Christian world. He is the champion ofthat armny which fights nunder the banner ofthe " world, the flesh and the Devil." Heis the nineteenth ceggary Pontins Pilatepersecuting Christ-in His Churob. As suchthe armies obey him, the aristocracy ap-plaud him, the powers of the world allythemselves with him. It would never doto question his greatness or find fault withhis atrocities, and consequently our papersare not going to do so.

But the end of all this must come. Theempty applause of a thoughtless world willdie away, reverses are inevitable, the hand.t Godl I. mne wihhealdlAae. hmtm

The Beginning of the End.For our part, we cannot see the policy of

making people of different races citizens ofthe same Republic. The negroes of Haytihave, in our opinion, acted with more dis-cretion on this question than the whites ofthe United States. They have, at least itis so said, provided in their constitutionthat no white man shall he a citizeo. Thiswe think right, and would have favored theadoption of asimilar pnnciple in this conon-try, which would result here, however, inmaking a white man's country of it and ex-cluding colored people from citizenship.We have beretofore given mnr reasons forthis con'iction and will not now repeatthem.

But it is a question whicbh we are willingto consider as settled for all future time,for the reason that it will contionally begetting of less and less importance practi-cally. The area of country now inhabitedby onr ex-alaves will soon contain a popu-lation of twenty millions of white inbabitants, while the colored people and theirdescendants will very probably be con-stantly diminishing in number, We there-fore think that the question may be left in

abeyance until the next timesthat a nationofinds itself in the same position as the

South did at the end of the Confederatewar.

In the meantime the situation seems tobe about to improve, even in advance ofthe numerical preponderance of the whites.The colored people of this State have re-cently put forth an address wlhich no pa-triot could read without pleasure. There isno antagonism whatever of real interestsbetween the white and colored populationsof the South. Their interests are identical,yet through a groundless distrust of theirwhite fellow-citizens, the colored peoplehave uniformly thrown themselves into thehanrds of a set of h3 pocritical miscreants,who had no use for them but as dupes andno object in view but the plunder and ruinof both races.

Circumstances have of late, however,contributed toi-eaken this tendency of thecolored people. In the first place the resent-ment of the whites in the interior of theState has taken a more reasonable torn.Instead of blaming the negroes so muchas heretofore for the prevalent ruin theyhave considered that thie blame really attaches to the white rascals who lie to themand mislead them. We can not and do not

approve of Lynch la v. Jet the lynoching oftihe five white outlaws at Coushatta, whitetihe colored people were untouched. has, nodoubt, had amostbeueficial effectin dissipa-ting their unjust suspicions. Then camethe revolution of September 14th in NewOrleans. This convinced them fully thatno harm was intended them and, further,that those mighty IKelloggites whom theyhad looked on as demi-gods were but lileSbetter than paste-board men.

In the meantime, while their distroust oftheir white friends has been wearing off,they have been getting dissatisfied with

carpet-baggers. The alddress to which wereferred above sets forth quite lucidly someof their grievances. They do all the votingand get comparatively none of the perqui-sites of office. Some few of themn for ap-pearance sake are given lower seats at theofficial banquet, but all the carpet-baggersare first provided for. The ex slaves, as.stupid as the insolent carpet-baggers thinkthem, are shrewd enough to see all this.They feel the hypocritical meanness whichfawns on them at the polls and spurns themin the parlor. They are dissatisfied.

The proof of this leis that we now see themmaking overtures to their white fellow-cit-izens, and these overtures ought to befrankly and heartily met. This hlas beendone already in Terrebonne parish, but inNew Orleans how is it Because we have

a majority here, are the colored voters tobe therefore spurned 9 This would be aboutas hypocritical a friendship as that of thecarpet-baggers.

LCommamcated.)A New PIss for Abstienne from Tobaco asd li-

quors.

All good people are unanimous in desiringthat the Father of the Faithful, the earthlyHead of the Church, should be rileased fromhis ignominious imprisonment and receive therespeotful treatment due to his exalted station.finch a boon were worth a great price, and ifwe pay enough God will surely grant it. True,we asr already making partial payments byour prayers and by offring up for that inten-tion the afiotions that daily come upon na;but it seems to me that an additional searice,voluctarily ofered by a large number of thefaithfhl, would have great force before thethrone of Grace:-and my proposition is, thatwell disposed Catholics of all ages and degreessbould resolve and take a pledge to deny them-selves and abstain from the oue of tobaoco and

*pirituone liquors, so long as the Pope and theChurob shall suter under the present Indigni-ties. This- is Intended obhefy for those whoare not Ioclined to become permanent memberseft be Wessat 1empersaes DeklStes. Who

festival of the Maternity of Mary; and whilespeaking of this ineemprehensible mystery we

I know no words so worthy the theme as theseof the great St. Ambrose : "What can be morea noble than the Mother of God What canexceed in brightness her whom tbe Brightnssitself has chosen t What can be more hobastethan she who has been raised to the dignity oia virgin maternity 1 She was a virgin, not in

Sperson only, but also in mind. Humble ofSheart, grave of utterance, prudent in mind,

reserved in speech, fond of reading, plaolng hertruat not in unecertain riches, but rather in theprayers of the poor, intent on her work,modest in her words, wont to refer hertthoughts togod as their judge rather than toman, careful to haurt no one, fall of good willsto all, an enemy to all boasting, a listener toreason, and a lover of virtue."

And St. Peter Chrysologus exclaims:. " 0most Blessed Virgin ! to whom It has beengiven to unite the glory of virgionity with thedignity of Mother!"

The festivals of Mary are beautiful mirrorsbheld up by the Catholio Church that the wholeworld may see reflected therein the grandtruths and the consoling mysteries of our holyI Faith. The life of Mary Is the shining warpon whihob is woven the marvellonus woof ofGod's love and benedicotions to man. We can-not separate these divine and human threads,1for the whole exquisite web of Christianity isformed of their mysterious interweaving; andwhile we contemplate its nsublime workman-ship, we can only wonder at and adore theinfinite grace and power of the AlmightyArtist hand.

The Virgin in her maternal character is heldup before the world as a sweet consolation tothe Christian heart, and as a bright example toall who wish to walk in the way that leads tolife eternal. We are reminded that there aretwo mothers to whom nall men are united byties of kindred or of grace-Eve, by whom wer last our robes of innocence, and Mary, bywhom we gained a crown of happy immor-tality. Eve, who drew us far from thethroesholdt of our Father's house, and Mary,whom the Church so truly styles the "Gate ofHueren."

This last title of our Blessed Mother revealsto us the whole mystery of the maternity, andpresents to us the sacred history of her Sun.

The life of Mary is the life of Christ-and itis no wonder that, in the ages of Faith, Artportrayed this Virgin-Mother in a thousand

dtflezent ways; but ever representing her asthe type of all that is holiest, purest, best inwomanhood.

The Madon,,a and Child, whether delineatedon the painter's canvase as the glorious Queenof Heaven with the babe enthroned upon her

arms, or as the hnmble peasant mother clasp-iog her infant to her breast; ever conveyed tothe Christian mind the same sweet story ofGod's love for man and the marvellous meansby which the Creator draws to Himself thehearts of his creatures.

In her Maternity, Mary is truly the Gate ofHeaven, since, through her shining portals, theLord passed down to Earth from Heaven, andthrough the archway of her prayers, we, poorsinners, hope one day to ascend to God.

Every phase of Mary's life is admirable andmost wonderful-her Immaculate Conception,her Annunciation, are mysteries of God's conde-acension and of Mary's excellence; but theseprivileges were but the distined way that ledto her sublime maternity. At this point of theinterwoven lives of the oreature and itsCreator, the mIod of man loses itself in won-der and in awe, and can but repeat therapturous words of St. Cyril: " Hail Mary,who in your virgin womb contained Him whois immense and incomprehensible! Throughwhom the only begotten Son of God has shonethe light to those who sat in darkness and inthe shades of death I"

The Church in one of her most beautifulhymns, calls upon Mary as the Mother ofMercy, and represents the faithful as the poorbanished children of Eve sending up theirsighs and supplications to their holy Queenfrom this valley of tears. Thus do we learnhow the maternity of Mary is a plea on ourbehlJft .Ap4j.hww. eappeal fom btho wrongworked upon as by one mother, to the love andclemency prepared for as in the heart of an-other.

Behold your mother! This was the Saviour'slegacy to his beloved ones, when from thethrone and altar of the cross, he spoke withall the power of a king and all the mercy of apriest. Given to as thus, the Catholio heartclings to the Virgin Mother, and constantlyreminds her of its claims upon her mercy andprotection. Protestants, who profess tobonor and believe in Christ, to revere Hiswords and to follow in His footsteps, arestrangely indiferent to this, his dying testa-ment:

Behold your mother! Look at her well inorder to learn true virtue, In order to knowhow to be pleasing unto Me!

Behold your mother I See bow she bears thebitter trial of the cross, and aoepts the heavyborden of a life whIob is but one unendiogmartyrdom I

Behold your mother! She will guide anddirect you, she will console and cheer you, shewill guard and defend you, she will watchover you and save yeo !

How then can we turn aside from words sosolemnly spoken, from a treut so lovingly be-stowed? And what must be the strange in-gratitude, or the dull comprehension of himwho asks not her help, or ignores her claimsupon his love and veneration In the earlyages of the Church it seemed scarcely neces-sary to establish specIal festivals in her honor,for the whole year was but one roondelay ofpraise to this Mother of all mankind.

Goido, Cimaboe, and other artiste, as farback as the thirteenth century, portrayed theVirgio Mother in a manner so gracious and soin keeping with the feelings of the popularheart, that pubile processions paid honor tothe artIst's skill and homage to the sublimeiasplratile of hbi gsales

fatal tendecay away from the Motbhst 'OaLord-npeoaselobes, alas: that by withdamwitbgfrom the mother it also withdraws fro theSen.

The Scriptures bid as seeu'in the Stable atBethlehem the esid Jass wes Bi Melter; asadagain it point. to Him on Calvary with HisMother steading sesr lie rms. And thus welearn that where Mary is there is Jesus; and ifwe wish, one day, to reasoh the Kingdom of herSon, we must fly to her maternal arms andbeseech her to show and guide us in the way.

The Celebration by the Catholic Total Abstieneaesocleties.We were pleased to see the large numbers of

men who attended the instructions of the Rev.Father MoKiniry, 8. J., Spiritual Direotor ofthe Union of our Total Abstinence Booieties,at the Church of the Immasoolate Conception,last Wednesday, Thursday and Friday even-ings. It augurs well for the success of themovement that so many men should attend sopunctually to these religious exercises. It isto be hoped that not only dil who were presentat these instruootions, but asso those memberswho were prevented from attending, will bepresent at the Cathedral this morning to re-ceise the Bread of Life from the hands of HiaGrace, the Most Rev. Archbblishop.

The Mass will commence at 8 o'clock puno-tnually, and will be celebrated by His Grace,who has come from a distant part of the coun-try for this purpose, that his presence mightencourage the members, and show that notonly does he approve their work and the man-ner in which they seek to acoomplish it, butthat it has bis special bleusing.

The parade will take place in the afternoon.The procession will leave the corner of Campand Canal streets at 2 o'olock. It will go uptown as far as First street, and down town asfar as Mandeville street. The programme willbe found on the fifth page, and shboold be readby those who may be anxions to see the pro-cession.

DEATH or MR. ERsovoxg.-Tbhe DoblinFreecman's Journal pays the following deservedtribute of respect to the virrnes of the lateMr. Errington, brother of His Grace the MostRev. Archbishop Errington, and father of thejacnior member or Longford: "Though bshrink-lag -from the notoriety of active publio life,and always anxious to avoid its boatle and itsprominence, Mr. Errington has left behind hima name that will long be remembered with re- Ispect, and a reputation as a Catholic gentle-man second to none is the country of hisadoption. Mr. Errington was not an Irishman,but from the time he made Ireland his homehbe showed an earnest interest in its welfare,and was ever ready to share in every move-ment that was designed to promote religion,religions education, and the purposes of chari-ty. lie was for many years President of theSt. Vincent de Paul Society in Ireland-took alarge part in the foundation of its magnificentorphainage. and participated in every goodwoik undertaken by the Society. Nor was itby word and work alone that be manifestedthe sincerity of his Catholic fait',. Ills pursewas ever open to the many calls of Irish Cath- Iolicity. It is but recently that we recorded ihis splendid munificence ino sstainment of theCatholic University of ireland-a monnificenocethat will never he fiirgotten in that national Iestablishment, and that will ensure the per-petuation of his fame in Ireland, and, indeed,throughout the Catholic world into distantgenerations."

Dow -In A RCiuTR.-Recently two gentle-men, Mr. N A. Rector of Texas and Mr. JohnBlankmore of England, made the ascent of the ivaloano Popocatapeti. They reached thesnow-line at six o'clock in the morning. From ithis point they proceeded onward and up- Iward notil they arrived at the verge ofthe crater, nearly 20,000 feet above the Isea level, which point they attained at 10:30o'clook. They descended into the crater about d100 feet to a bench or terrace, where was a i[windlass, used by the collectors of solbur.To this windlass is attacued a cable, us0 feeflong, whioh, when unwoand, reaches to the -bottom of the crater. Tbh adventurers didnor make the trip to the bottom on sc-count of the noxions gasses which almostsuffocated them. Besides, the snlphur asbh-erers were not there, and the windlans 0was out of order. The volcano Is in a Iquiescent state now, but sometimes evinces adisposition to be ernetive. In this craler a vast 1quantity of sulphor is gathered and carried 5down the mountain to the Mecroan market. The 5travelers report that the scenery from a pointhalfway optbe monotain ismagnifcent beyond .anything they had ever before beheld. Whenthey had attained the topmeast point of thelofty peak, they found the view obsoored bycloods. The ascent is not made by travelerswitbout incurring a risk of accldent.
