pbia and the Bisbopa of Allighaney,
Noehitaohes, Albany, Louisville, Galves'
ton, Detroit, Green Bay, Hartford and
other dioceses. Abont one hundred and
fifty American Catholio residents end
visitors were also present, with students
of the Amerioan College and Amerioan
atndents of the Fropoganda.
After an address they were presented
to the Pope, who was seated on a throne.
llis Holiness replie 1 that he remember,
ed how an eminent Cardinal had told him
at the commencement of his pontificate
that from Amerioa would come great
comfort to the church. He now saw the
fulfilment of that prediction. He spoke
in great praise of the American nation
the great things it had accomplished, and
how, in the flower of its youth, it
had acquired strength sufficient
to arouse the jealousy of
European nations; hut thero were errors
of youth in nations as in men, and he
would remind them of two he had notieed
in them: Too great precipitancy in pur
auit of material thingB and too proud a feel
ing of independence. They prided them
Helves in being Republicans. [There was
a laugh in which the Cardinals joined.
But they must remember that all mast
bow the head to enter Paradise. They
must be humble and not let material
things interfere with prayer. He blessed
all Amorican people—Catholics that they
might coutinne firm in faith, Protestants
that they might he illnminated; and pray
ed that good might descend in abundance
upon them all.

THINKS HATES HONEST AND WAS FORCED TO
HIS POLIOY— REPUDI.IOAN NECESSARY TO
RESTRAIN DEMOCRACY AND THE BOUTH IN
THEIR ENDS—THIRD PARTY.
Washington, May 25.—Morton publish
a letter on the situation in answer to an
open letter published in the New York
7Vmet and other private letters.
Jle says, regarding .the credentials of
Kellogg, after they had been referred to
his oommittee :—The Committee on Priv
ileges and Elections met soou afterward,
and the Republican members united in a
report that prima facie S. B. Paokard was
the lawful Governor of Louisiana, the
Legislature was the lawful Legislature,
and that Win. P. Kellogg had beeu elect
ed in oonformity to the act of Congress,
and was entitled to be sworn in and take
his seat as a member of the Senate. Sever iq
members of the Senate were absent, and
as the snbjeot would lead to a long debate,
and there was general anxiety to ndjonrn,
the report was not laid before the Semite.
the majority of the Senate shall, at tho
next session of Congress, he of tho opin
ion that Kellogg was law
fully elected by the Legislature
Louisiana, be will he entit’ed
to his seat, notwithstanding the evente
that have ainoe occurred. No subsequout
breaking up of that Legislature combine
tion or arrangements can in the least ef-
feot bis title or destroy the legality of
what took plaoe at that time, through the
very members who proolaimed the elect
ion of Paokard and made that of Kellogg,
should subsequently doolare that of Nich-
olls and take part in the eleotion of Spof-
ford. It is too clear for argument. They
could not take away the rights which had
been vesled, or made that unlawful whioh
had beeu before lawful. Unless Kellogg
voluutariy withdraws, the Senate will
huvo to decide the question of his eleot
ion as it stood at the lime of j adjourn
ment.
Tho Republican Governments of Lou
isiana and South Carolina have yielded to
foroe. They have gone down before au
armed minority whose threats of future
violenoe were guaranteed by a long train
of bloody deeds done in the post.
I regret that the real oliaraoter of the
transaction should be obsonred in the
least by pretended investigations or nego
tiations. Stripped of all disguises and
pretences tha simple feet is that Paokard
and Chamberlain were not able to main
tain themselves in authority, and tho
Government of the United States, in the
exercise of its discretion, refused them
its support. Theu the Legislatures,
finding themselves defenseless, fell to
pieces, and from their ruins in part the
new Legislature have been constitnted,
whose legality consists only in the faot
that there are none to oppoBe them. The
law and the right of the majority have
yielded to an armed aggressive minority.
Morton, after describing what Grant
might have done, intima! es that bad Hay os
proceeded to maintain Paokard and
Chamberlain by using the army, he would
have proceeded to inevitable defeat. He
says the Republican majority in the Sen
ate upon the Southern question is lint
nominal, if it existed at all. Five Re
publican Senators voted at the late ex
ecutive aession against seating Kellogg
aud to refer bis credentials to a commit
tee, thns refusing to recognizo the Paok
ard government; and a number of Re
publican Senators, sufficient, when added
to the Democratic members, to constitute
a majority, have steadily refused to reo-
oguize the ltepublioan State goverumeut
iu Louisiana ainoe 1873 by ruliDg against
seating a Senator chosen by it.
While, in my judgment, it was clearly
the right of the President tinder the Con
stitution to recognize the Paokard Gov
eminent and support it with military pow
er, the undertaking would have been fu
tile and the failure disastrous. With a
divided publio opinion in his own party,
and both bouses of Congress against him,
he would have failed in the ond.
The Democratio House has power to
destroy the army entirely, and from my
knowledge of the Sonato I am sure the
Republican majority of that body could
hardly he relied on to Bupporthim in such
a course.
I do not belive that President Uayea
intends to destroy the ltepublioan party
aud attempt the emotion of a new one
upon ita ruins. I believe in his patriot
ism and high integrity, in hia undivided
purpose to make the Administration a be
neficence to the country.
The largo body of the white pooplo who
engaged in the rebellion are firmly enlist
ed in favor of several things, and they
will stand by the party that favors them,
and oppose to the bitter end the party
that opposos them. Among these is the
payment of rebel property taken or de
stroyed by our armies. When Mr. Tiklen
wrote bis letter, just before olectioD,
against these claims, ho lost hia hold upon
the South, and was made to feel it in the
late struggle in Congress. No Demo
cratio candidate will repeat hia blunder.
In tho late House the dividing line be
tween rebel and loyal claims was ignored,
and in a single Democratic administration
would be obliterated. When this cornea
to pass about claims, the distinction in
rebel and Union debt will bo obliterated,
and the lost slaves will he treated as oth
er property sacrificed by our Government.
It will not all be done or avowed at once,
bnt step by step, already more rapid, un
til the publio mind has become demoral
ized. Tha rebellion hes oeased to be e
orime, scarcely a mistake. The complete
restoration of tho fraternity will demand
abolition of ail distinctions in law be
tween loyalty and treason.
The Uepnblioan party was never more
necessary to tho nation then II is to-day.
All talk about laying down the Republi
can organization to take up a new one
with a new title, into which old Confed
erates may enter without ’.'ounding their
suscephblos, would be criminal, if it
were not supremely silly.

sinoe I married my present husband. This
man induced me to ioavo uiy husband,
otherwise ho would not pay me nuything

some time, to do bo, which I bitterly
regret; yet ho has not paid a dol
lar tor seven years, llo also induced

prived of my money ; also induced her to
marry oue Chamberlain, residing iu one

Closkey estate at Alexander, GonneHHeo

TO FOLLOW.
Argument on the return to tho writ of
habeas corpus heretofore issued iu favor
of Georgisna Morrisou Lopez, the grant
ing of which has beeu already notieed in
the Herald, was beard before Judge Bar
ren, iu Supreme Court, Chambers, yes
terday. Tho petition of the hu-baud, on
wh im tbe writ bus been grunted, stated
that Ids wife was of tender age and weak
mind, and that she whs restrained of her
lit erty by her father, and ho, her bus
band, forbidden to see or visit her. Iu
obedience to the writ Mr. Morrison, ae-
oompanied by bis daughter Georgquia, an
older daughter und boo, some friends and
bis counsel, Mr. Lyman W. Bates, np-
pasrod in oourt about noou. Lopez was
also p-esent, aoootupauiad by bis counsel,
Mr. Gibbons aud an associate.
AFFIDAVITS AGAINST LOPEZ.
In reply to the allegations in Lopez's
petition two affidavits were road on tie-
half of Mr. Morrison, one by himself and
one by tbe daughter, Georgians. In his
own affidavit, Mr. Morrisou aworo that
bis daughter is not restrained of her lib
erty; that she is over twenty-one years of
age, and has always lived with and been
supported by him; thut tbe protended
marriage betwoeu her and Lopez was only
one in form; tbat she nevorhaa lived with
her husband, and voluntarily lived with
her fatbor; that the marriage was only an
incident to and part of a plot of conspira
cy originated by Lopez to extort rnouey
from him, and that it is void fur fraud;
that ha iH informed and believes Lopez
has oalled himself and goes by tho nnmo
of Lopez BoHohu, and at tho tirno of tliiH
alleged marriage had a lawful wifo liviug.
Georgiann, tho alleged wifo, swears that
she resides with hor father and always has
resided with him; that aho haa no desiro
to leave him, and has not beon imprison
ed, detained or restrained of her liberty.
She admits marriage with Lopez, imme
diately thereafter returning to her father's
houae and never living with Lopez. At
tbe time she married aho did so in good
faith aud thought Lopez equally honest,
but, from evidenoe whioh has since come
to her and whioh she cannot doubt, sbe
believes tbe aoreiuony wiih intended by
bim only an a means to extort money from
ber father, and that ho (Lopez) was at
the time of aueli marriago tbe husband of
another wouiau.
Iu nddition to these affidavits counsel
for Mr. Morrisou assorted that proceed
ings had already been iDslitulod to annul
the marriago, on tbe ground of fraud,
and abundant evidenao would lie forth
coming toshuw that on the very day of
the marriage, nnd succeeding it, Lopez
had spent four hours iu the private room
of a courtesan, nnd bad come almost d -
reotly from the arms of a woman of a sim
ilar oharucter into oourt. Couu-ol on
the other aido said they would bo able to
coutrodiot these aasertious whenever tbe
proper time oatne. As to tbe affidavit of
the wife, he attributed it to the influence
of the father, uuder whose oontrol alio
was, and suggested that ahe be placed
ander some other oontrol until tho court
oonld have a fair opportunity to loaru hor

the dnughter’H affidavit, Judge Barrett in
terrogated her aluno iu his private room

Statistics of lire insurance, rooontly
published, show lhat last year there ware
in tbe Uuitod States aud OuuaduH 9,301
firua observed und reported, or more than
one per hour. Property was destroyed
by thoao ttrcH to the value of $73,775,800,
au uversgo of $202,125 por day. Tho
loss to iiiNiirnuce companies in 1875 was
$43,631,700; in 1876 it wus $88,262,100.
Ttioro is a class of insurance risks deem
ed extra hazardous whioh aro culled
“specials,” and for which heavier premi
urns are charged. It is very ovidout why
it costs more to insure that kind property
when wo glance at tho aotnal experience,
(ho total losses by specials in 1875 being
$55,373,900, nnd $45,976,700 in 1871;
Tile loss to insurance companies by
speuials in 1875 wna $28,051,890, und iu
1870 $23,341,400,or considerably over ono
half of the Iohshh from ail caiiKOH. In tho
liat of special losses for 1876 aro tho fui
lowing prominent lilies of ri-ks in tho
United States iu wliieii there have been
the most Iohhoh: Agricultural implement
factories, 12; bakeries, 49; billiard sa
loons, 19; blackamith shops, 47; brewer
ios, 28; butcher shops, 29; oarpentor
shops, 78; ourriuge factories,49; ohurcbes,
66: cigar factories, 24; coal yards, 11;
cooper shops, 21; cotton raillH, 25; court

shoe factories, 21; slaughter houses, 21;
steamboats, 13; tanneries, 26; tinshops,
20; tobacco barns, 22; tobacco factories,
13; woolen mills, 30. Those figures are by
no means to bo regarded as u perfect in-
dex of tbe couiparativo hazards of proper
ty, as they do not allow the aggregate
number of each kind in tho oountry. As,
for instance, oil refiueriea might be deem
ed extra hazardous, but there are fewer
of them than of oountry grocery stores,
and tbe latter rank muoh higher iu the
list of actual aasusIticH. The above liat
contains only 63 out of an enumeration
of 541 different kinds of property destroy
ed by fire iu tho United States, and we
have seleoted tboae which show the great
est number of losses. There are many
which coutuiu only ono and two losses.
Tbe sections of oountry that wore the
heaviest loHers, in round numbers, are :
New xork, fourteen millions; Pennsylva
nia, nearly six millions; Massachusetts,
five and a half millions; Illinois, over
throe millions; Ohio, over threo and u half
millions. Tbe total Iobh in Iowa was
$1,404,400. The heaviest loss in tho
United Htates, oompared by mouths, was,
in February, $8,521,500; next, Deoember,
$7,254,100. Then March, April, May,
July, August and Ootoher, whioh each
ranged above five millions.
