Canonization of tbc Romish Martyr*.
The impressive scenes connected with
the ceremony of the canonization of
twenty-live saints in St. Peters, at Borne,
are depicted with much animation by a
correspondent of the London Times, as
follows:
Home, June 29, 18G7.
I have just returned from witnessing; tho
magnificent ceremony of the canonization
of twenty-five martyrs of the Homan
Catholic Church, and anything so gor-
jjeous, anything so unique and out of har
mony with that world in which wo live,
and more, and think, it has never been
my lot to witness. Of the number of for
eigners I fear to speak. Of bishops there
are 500. Ecclesiastics of all ranks are said
to amount to 25,000—of whom 15,000 are
calculated to bo French. Certain it is
that 10,0C3 applied to the Cardinal Vicar
for permission to say mass, and, for vari
ous reasons, they are believed to be prin
cipally French. In short, never was
Borne so full, especially of the clerical
element, and many a stranger has had to
pass a sleepless night or lay his head on
the boards. The great day of the feast
was, however, yet to come, and wearied
travelers were appalled to hear that by
six o’clock the Church of St. Peter would
be full. A brilliant morniug it was when
X started at half-past five o’clock, and
found crowds in carriages or on foot, all
tending towards one point. Many a win
dow was hung with crimson tapestry, the
Papal banner was floating over the Ponte
Kt. Angelo, and Papal troops were dash
ing about in all directions. The Cardl
rials were indulging in an hour’s more
sleep, secure of their placeE, but, with this
exception, persons of all classes were en
route. Thanks to kind friends, I entered
the church by a private gate—the Porta
Santa Martha—and from my place under
tho ambassadors’ loggia, and close to the
l’apal throne, will now describe the scene
which thousands besides myself were gaz
ing at, even at that early hour.
The taste displayed in the decorations is
much more pure and simple than that
which was shown in 1862 at the la3t great
canonization. The effort has boen to give
the elfect of color, and this has been done
so as to bring out in bolder relief the
architectural ornaments. It would be
useless to note tho materials employed.
One looks at tho whole, at the general
effect, and this was rich and gorgeous in
extreme. Richer still it became when
nt seven o’clock the Servitori began to
ht the groat wax tapers which hung
suspended in festoons beneath the arches,
under tho colossal statues. Still, it was a
fearful sight to watch these men at timeE
suspended in mid air on a narrow bit of
wood and swinging backwards and for
wards, apparently no bigger than crows.
Twenty-five thousand tapers were thus
soon made to shed their light upon the
building, giving to the crimson tapestry a
deeper hue, now that all daylight was
excluded, and lending an increased bril
liancy to the gilding. Sometimes a puff
of wind blew aside a curtain, and then
down streamed on one particular spot a
sunbeam so bright and unexpected that it
seemed like a Cash of lightning, startling
those around as1f danger were near.
Grander, however, than alt else in the
way of light was a colossal inverted cross
formed of prisms of glass, which had been
sought for far and wide. Above it were
the koys, gigantic in their proportions
and formed of the Earns material, while
above them still higher wa3 suspended an
enormous tiara of colored glass. Hanging
as did these brilliant symbols of the Ho
man Catholic faith, in the centre of the
nave, and flashing and glittering with
direct and reflected light, the spectacle
was indescribably beautiful. YVe were
looking azd wondering at these grand
effects of light, when a goneral confusion
ensued among the masses who were un
derneath tho cupola. There was a mur
mur of many voices gradually swelling
into a storm. Ladies were rising in their
seals, and guards rushed hero and there—
indications, as some thought, of the near
approach of the Fapal procession; but,
instead, it was a panic created by the
curtain of one of tho windows taking fire.
Thero could bo no danger in so substan
tial a building as St. I’eter’s, but people
do not reason on such occasions, and had
it not been that tho tiro was extinguished
it is difficult to say what might bavo been
the result of tho panic. Another, and
this tho only painful incident which oc
curred, was, as it was reported, an act of
Buicide by a man named Achilla Kossi, a
native of Cremona, before the Chapel of
tbe Holy Sacrament. Tho poor fellow, it
appears, was so dazzled by tho wonders
of tho scenes that he lost his head and cut
his throat with a penknife, that ho might
enter at once on tho enjoyment of a Para
dise which tho glories around him were
supposed to typify. Soon after 8 o’clock
some minor Orders began to enter, and
then camo the Bishops, two and two,
amounting to 480. YY r earing a red cope
in honor of the martyrs, they presented a
grand spect&<P«. Many or tuem a
violet colored beretta on tbe head, instead
of a black one. Each carried his mitre,
white for tho most part,though thero were
varieties, as in fhc dress, borne had mi
tres resembling imperial crowns, studded
with precious stones, while some wore
over the cope a dres3 resembling a hus
sar’s jacket, with upright collars rigid
with gold. Of Europeun Bishops France
has the greatest show, Austria perhaps the
smallest, being represented only by the
Primate of Hungary, who is followed by
four servants in hussar uniforms. Eng
land sends more than half her Bishops;
Ireland, contrary to the information 1 re
ceived and communicated, has fourteen.
Scotland, too, is not behind. Thero are
Bishops also from Cannda and the United
States, four from India and China,besides
many other arrivals. As to tho Chinese
Bishop, I learn on better authority that
he is a Frenchman. Each bore a lighted
taper, and as soon as they wero seated,
and tho archbishops, among whom I re
cognized Dr. Manning, had arranged
themselves on either sido of the throne,
the silver trumpets in the cloister an
nounced the approach of the Pontiff.
They always perform the same music, but
sweeter notes it is impossible to conceive.
In tfdvance were tho cardinals, Dr. Cul
len among them, and Antonelli, looking
as ho has dono for twenty years, calm and
imperturbable. These took their seats on
the lower benches on either side of the
Presbytery, 42 in number.and in the cen
tre of 523 princes^ and dignitaries of the
Church Pius IX. was borne in on his
chair. So large a number has never, I
believe, been assembled together, at least
in modern times ; in 1862 thero were not
more than 250 bishops. Altogether tho
Church possesses between eight and nine
hundred,and fifty-three or four cardinals,
so that more than one-half of her staff, so
to speak, met on this occasion. Call it
vanity or what you like, Pius IX. must
have been moro or less than human had
he not felt deeply moved and gratified at
the homage which ho received.
YY hat Pius IX. felt and thought as he I
was borne into tho centro of this gorgeous
scene it would bo impossible to conceivo.
Leaving bis chair and ascending bis
throne, ho stood for sovcral minutes as if
transfixed, cardinals and bishops, with
thoir lighted tapers,surrounding him, and
a sea of heads surging and stretching
away to the extreme distance. YVhen all
was ready tho cardinal charged to con
duct the canonization advanced to the
throne, accompanic i by a master of cere
monies and an advocate of tho consistory,
wbo in the narno of the cardinal begged
insianter that his Holiness would permit
tbe names of tho twenty-fivo Beati to be
enrolled in the catalogue of saints. The
Prolate Secretary of tho Brefs ad Prin-
civcs replied in Latin that tho Holy
lather was well acquainted with their
. - . before deciding on so impor-
“ ' J ’ that intercession
Ap'isties and all
ven for light to guide
and ail the mitred host
e two singing chaplains
Litany of the saints, the ec-
iastics joining in, and tbo vast multi
tude in tho church responding as with the
voice of many waters. There i3 a plain
tive monotony in tho notes which is very
touching, and, familiar as tboy are to tho
members of the Homan Catholic Church,
not a voico was silent, and a body of
sound roso and swelled through tho vast
edifice that made one’s nerves thrill with
emotion.
Tbe same forms being observed as in tbe
first instance, a second time the cardinal
advanced, and the request was made in-
stantcr ct instating that tbe Beati should
be canonized, when, in answer, prayers to
the Holy Spirit, the source of light and
holiness, were implored. Again the Pope
and his prelates knelt and prayed, and,
rising, his Holiness intoned the Vcni Cre
ator SpirHus with a voice so clear and
loud, and with a precision so remarkable,
that the people looked upon one another
with astonishment. A third time the pos
tulants advanced, and entreated instantcr,
instantius ct instantiseinie that the canon*
ization ehould take place, and an answer
was returned that the Holy Father, con
vinced that the act was approved by God,
would now pronounce bis definite decis
ion, which he accordingly did, seated in
his chair of State, with his mitre on bis
head. After some other forms the Gonfi-
eiemus, or Decernimus, was repeated, the
silver trumpets sounded, tho cannonroar-
ed from St. Angelo, and all the bells in
tho city were rung for joy at the consum
mation of the hopes ol the church.
The Pope now intoned the Te Deum,
that fine old Ambrosian hymn. Oh, how
grandly it rose and died away, as it was
sung by tbe choir, and was then taken up
by 40.0CO voices, pealing forth with a pow
er which lifted one above the world, and
then dying away, as if the effort wa3 too
great for the human soul to sustain ! High
Mass was performed immediately after the
conclusion of the ceremony of canoniza
tion. It presents no peculiarity until we
come to the offertory, which on this occa
sion included tho presentation of the of
ferings made to tho Pope by tbe friends
of tbe new saints, or tbe religious orders
to which they belonged. During the
whole of the morning they lay on tables
on the left of the high altar. They con«
sisted first of five large wax candies,
weighing two of them 60 Homan pounds,
and three 12 pounds each. These were
beautifully painted with flowers, inter
mingled with arabesque, in gold and sil
ver. Secondly, two large loaves, on sil
ver salvers, one of which was gilt, bear
ing the arms of tbe pontiff. Thirdly, two
barrels, one plated with gold, the other
with silver, filled, one with wine and tbe
other with water. Fourthly, three cages
of elegant construction, in one of which
were two turtle doves, in another two pi
geons, and in the third various small birds
of different kinds. Each saint presented
the offerings above described, and the
ceremony was conducted with great pomp.
As many saints so many processions, each
formed by two macebearers and a master
of the ceremonies, two cardinals preceded
by their gentlemen, and followed by two
members of the order to which the saint
belonged, or by two priests or laymen, tbe
postulator of the cause and two other car
dinals with their gontlemen bringing up
the rear. The ceremony, therefore, con
tinued for some time, and during this in
terval we were indulged with a litany
composed expressly for tho occasion by the
well known soprano Mustafa, in which
the names of the new Eaints were intro
duced for the first time. To givo effect to
the music three several choirs were form
ed, one of which was placed, under the
direction of Mustafa, near tbo high altar;
another over the great window at the en
trance of the church, directed byMelizzi;
and a third, composed of four hundred
voices, in the cupola, under the direction
of Capocci. Such delicious music surely
was never heard, ns the dulcet tones floated
in a series of echoes through the vast
building—first rising from earth in a full
body of sound, then gradually diminish*
ing in power, though not in distinctness,
and then softly breathing forth as though
they were angels’ whispers. As the high
mass proceeded and incense began to
spread its misty veil over every object,
nothing could exceed tbo beautiful effect
of color. His Holiness took tho sacra
ment in both kinds, the benediction was
given, and the long-expected ceremonits
of a day which will mark an important
epoch in the history of the church were
over,
“YVliat will Tegethoff Do V>
About three months ago the Austrian
Admiral Tegethoff paid a very unexpect
ed visit to the Orescent City. Rumor said
that the gallant Admiral had presumed
on his victory over tho Italian fleet off
Lissa so far as to suggest some radical re
forms in the Austrian navy. Tbo govern
ment of Francis Joseph rewarded tho pa
triotic zeal of the successful Admiral by
“graciously according him permission to
travel.” Tegethoff immediately started
for the United Stales. After passing some
little time North, he came to this city.
About the time Tegethoff' arrived here
the late Emperor Maximilian was pre
paring for his final struggle with the
forces of Juarez. It is known that com
munications passed between the victor of
Lissa and the unfortunate Emperor, and
as Togetboff bad served under Maximilian
when tbe latter commanded tbe Austrian
navy, it is not at all improbable that be
meditated revenging Francis Joseph's in
gratitude by transferring his allegiance to
Maximilian. As matters have turned out,
such a step would have been equivalent to
amputating his nasal organ to be re
venged on his face. Whatever tho object
of Tegethoff 1 s visit to tHia country, he was
recalled to Europe by a special telegram
from Vienna.
Immediately on receipt of the news of
Maximilian’s murder, tho Austrian Gov
ernment telegraphed to Tegethoff, who
was then enjoying the festivities of Paris,
to proceed to Trieste and got his fleet
ready to proceed to Mexico,
TegethofPs arrangements wore soon
made, for some weeks back the cable in
formed us that he had sailed.
It is hardly probable that Austria, crip
pled and impoverished as she now is.
would go to the enormous expense of
sending a powerful fleet to Mexico for the
simplo pumosp of diner Maximil
ian o uduy. One gunboat would have
been sufficient for that.
According to last advices the body of
Maximilian was already on its way to
Vera Cruz, and there is no doubt that it
will be given up as soon a3 the Austrian
fleet arrives at that port. But will Tege-
thofTs mission be fulfilled when he has
obtained possession of the bullet-riddled
corpse of his old commandor? That is tho
question.—N. O. Times.

Late and Important from Mexico.
Wears specially favored with the fol
lowing news from Mexico, which is alto
gether new and interesting:
Official advices, dated July 18th, from
General Berriozabal, Governor and com
manding the forces in the State of Ta-
maulipas, states that General Canales has
levied forced loans or prestanes upon the
towns of Victoria, San Farnando and
others, in the southern part of that State,
and has proclaimed himself Governor.
The people have called upon the Govern
ment for protection, and the latter has an
nounced its intention to 6erd a force to
their relief and to capture or,drive him
out of the country. The people are much
excited, and say unless a force arrives
very soon he will be master of his old
fields of operations.
Official advices, dated July 19th, state
that about threa thousand soldiers have
left Queretaro for Northern Mexico, to
occupy tho Hio Graado country and es
tablish a secure guard on the bojder to
prevent filibustering or other unlawful
expeditions, and to protect the interests of
Mexico generally.
A commander, whoso name is not yet
known, will shortly relieve Gen. Berrio
zabal of his military command, and es
tablish his headquarters at Matamoros,
and he will relieve also the present garri
son. Gen. Berriozabal will return to pri
vate life.
The old and well known General Juan
Alvarez, his son Diego Alvarez, and Eu-
timio Penzon, have died recently.
President Juarez has issued a general
degree prohibiting lotteries and public
raffles in Mexico, on account of their im
moral tendency.

A Colored Man Leaves the League.
It will he seen by reference to tho fol
lowing card from a colored man of this
city, that the infamous “Loyal League”
is disgusting to even somo of the most
intelligent negroes. All the negroes will
soon discover that they have been swin
dled by connecting themselves with this
dark lantern, oath bound concern, and
will leave it as rapidly as tboy went into
it, and at the same time discover that the
miserable Radical adventurers in our
midst are not their friends. Tho card
explains itself:
CABD TO THE PUBLIC.
Editors Mail—Some time last spring I
joined tho Union League, in the city of
Montgomery, and, after attending several
of its meetings, became satisfied that it
was a political organization which claimed
the right to control the votes of its mem
bers, thereby taking away from them their
liberty to vote as they pleased in elections.
On due consideration i decided that, as a
citizen, it was my duty to vote at all times
for those who I might think wero best
qualified for office, and to preserve my
freedom of choice among my own friends,
as a free man has a right to do. For these
reasons I gave notice to members of tbe
League that I had withdrawn from it, and
intended to have nothing more to do with
it. I was afterwards waited upon by three
gentlemen, separately, who informed me
that they were on a committee to see and
invite mo to the League to explain my
course and give them satisfaction. I said
to them that I would not go to tho League,
but would meet them fit the Court House,
or any other public place they might ap
point, and explain my reasons fully
Since then it has been reported that I
told the committee that my reason for
quitting the League was that my employ
er, Mr. Lewis Rich, had notified mo that
if I did not quit the League he would
discharge me from his service. Such is
not the fact My employer never made
any such requisition of me, and I did not
sotiiform the committee; and I publish
this card simply in justice to him, and
further state that I have not been con
sulted with at all as to the propriety of
my doing so.

always magnanimous, forgives those who
until now have been enemies of their own
country, because it expects that their
future conduct will correspond with the
clemency used towards the misled sons of
Mexico. You are at liberty, and you
may ask your passports for any point
where you choose to reside.”
