. THE TRLEGKAPII AND MESSENGER, FRIDAY. DECEMBER5.18S!. TO THE SPIRIT OF REPUBLICAN LIB ERTY IN AMERICA. Thanksgiving Sermon of Archbishop He!*.--Our Republlo the Beet Gift of God to tile People—Ban quet to a Blehop. iTNUtOBAFHED TO THE ASSOCIATED FB1GS.1 Baltimore, November 27.—A solemn public session of the Plenary Council was held to-day at the cathedral, when high mass was celebrated by Archbishop I.tmy, Of Santa Fe. Archbishop Heist, of Milwau kee, delivered an oration tn Latin on the "Dignity ot the Priesthood," after which Bishop Spalding,'of Peoria, preached the Thanksgiving sermon. He said: ‘‘The practice, which with us has now grown to be national, (it appointing one day In the year for general thanksgiving to God, the creator and giver of all good, has seemed to (he fathers of the third plenary coancll of Baltimore consonant with tho principles ot the faith and with the promptings of the head of the Christian people, and they have therefore determined to recognize i« commend in a public and solemn way the custom which declares onr dependence upon God, both as a nation and as Individuals. While it tends to strengthen the spirit of gratitude and to locteate our confidence in his all wise and fatherly providence, the appeal made by the civil anthorities of our country, re questing all citizens to cease from work and business on this day and to raise their thoughts to God, while they bring to mind the great and numberless blessings which he conti.urs to shower upon them and their country, is a oall to which we gladly hearken. In common with ail others, we have here a home and country in which we enjoy the rights of freemen and opportunities to use the pow ers which God has given ns in a way never before granted to men, nor offered to them, nor ever except in America. What ever Alia the hearts of our fel low countrymen with joy and I iride when they contemplate the marvel ous growth and never-ceasing prosperity of our common country sends a thrill of gladness through onr catholic hearts. We are part of this great people, and whatever Is good for our country is good for us. The Catholics were the first Tu this world to proclaim and to pot in practice the princi ples of religious toleration, and they will be the last to deny or violate the Christian chart of freedom of conscience, American Cath olics shed their blood for onr independ ence, and the aid which we received frem Catholics of other lands was a providential means which enabled us to come forth vic torious from the struggle and to establish ourselves as a tree and separate people. Catholics, who bore the chief part in the founding of this great repub lic, mast ever feel that it is their duty to labor to make it perpetual. The church holds the fullness of God’a supernatural bounties, and the republic is his richest earthly gilt to bta children. Both have a world wide mission to elevate, ennoble and enlighten them; to free them from slavery, whether ot lonl or body, ot heart or mind. The republic gives liberty to the church, the church strength ens the spirit of obedience and devotion to the republic, and both co-operate to make prevail tho will ot God, which is justice, righteousness, peace and goodness. A reception and banquet were given to night by the Cathollo Benevolent Legion ot Baltimore to Bishop Langhin, of Brook lyn, who Is spiritual adviser to the supreme council of the order. The address of welcome was made by Joseph 8. Honister, which was responded to by Bishop Langblln.

WxsrniLD, Mass., November 25.—On a lonely road winding around Mt. Tokla, six miles west ot this village, in the town of Montgomery, in a decayed and weather beaten farm house, has been enacted a tragedy similar to tho Pocasset several years ago, whenrellgionsfanatioFreeman, under pretended inspiration, killed his little daughter. The house is Ihe home of Isaac Bronson, aged abont 50, who, with Its wife, ten years younger, has been a confirmed spiritualist. Tneir house has been the favorite resort of believers In spir itualism in the neighboring hill towns, and Bronson wai an expounder ot the sect. Bronson has seven children, the eld- es^l and the youngest a few weeks. Mrs. Bimison was u womsn ot eonsidersb'o en ergy. but thoroughly indoctrinated with spiritual belief and practices. One eventngiastweek, after her husband hsd gone to bed. she came into the room and asked him if be would feel very bad if her spirit was to go out of its mortal frame and only be with him on the occasion of her visits from the spirit land. He told her be would not grieve if it was the wilt of God. Then, as calmly aa if it were her intention to sleep, the wife told the hus band that, desirtDg to be rid of the burdens end pains of the body, she had swallowed two spoonfuls of Pans green, and in a few boars her spirit would depart to return often to him from the apint world. 8be asked him to watch by her until the spirit hid burst its earthly bonds, and all the long hoars ot the night he kept faithful vigil by the bedside of the woman he loved, watching the spark of llte flicker fainter and fainter. WATCHIXO THE WIFI DIE. At times her excruciating agony drew tear* from his eyes, bat he called none of the other members of the family. At nearly daybreak, without awakening ihe children, he went to the house of bis near est neighbors, who are Spiritualists, and, rousing them up, told the woman ot the house of the condition of his wile and the cause, and urged her to hasten at once to witness “the departure of the spirit” When Bronson's honst was reached the visitor quietly aroused the children, and medical assistance was summoned from Westfield, but before the physician could get to the honte Mrs. Bronson woe dead. The husband unhesitatingly told the story of his wife's death to eager question ers with no more signs of sorrow on his expressionless face or In his calm gray 2 es than if the matter had been an overy y occurrence. When asked why he did not endeavor to save her life his reply was: "Her spirit was her own. 6he had the right to release it from the body and I bad none to prevent." He was indi rectly told that people might hold him responsible for bis wife's death, but to such allusions he steadfastly replied "Hersplrltwas her own; her spirit was her own.” Finally, It was plainly said to him that some might think his hand ad ministered the fatal draught and hold him to be a murderer. He straightened his long, gaunt form to its full height, for an instant there fiash.-d across his face a f hastly whiteness and into his eyes a snd- en gleam ot interest; theu, with a calm voice and stoical manner, be answered: “If they think that, I wish they would hang me at once,” THE rUSERAL. The anthorlt'es ot the town sent the medical examiner to the scene, who could do nothing but issue a burial permit. It was a wild, weird scene, the funeral on thst secluded mountain side, the caim- visaged husband and spiritual elder, sur rounded by bis children and religions fol lowers, paying the last sad rites tn tbo body ot the devoted wife and mother. But tears were lew, it any, for tho chief mourners seemed to feel that no cause was there for sorrow, but rather for jov, that another spirit had burst its bonds and found its haven of rest. | NEWS IN THE STATES. 1 JUDCE LYNCH INFLIGVS THE DEATH PENALTY.

R., a few weeks ago, .Gen eral Sherman addressed a gathering of old soldiers, and in the course of his remarks took occasion to pay bla respects to Jeffer son Davis, which he did in such a vigorous way that Mr. Davis has repelled the charges there made in language equally forcible. General Sherman referred to the late war, and said secession was merely a conspiracy, and that Jeff. Davis was a con spirator whose aim was to use the Con federacy as a fulcrum with which he could operate against the other sections of the country looking to a practical dictator ship. "I have been behind the curtain,” said General S ermau, “aud 1 have scon letters that few others have seen and heard con versations tb at cannot be repeated.

The folkwing Is from the Glob*-Democrat's report: “Referring to the late war, ho slid it was not, si wis generally understood, a war ot se cession from the united states, but a con spiracy. 'I have been behind tho curtain,’ said bo, 'and I have seen letters that tew oth er* have seen, and have heard conversations that caunot bo repented, and I tell you that Jeff Davts uever was a secessionist.

This nubile assault under the covort pica that It fs based upon Information which re gard for a United States Senator does not per mit him to present, will, to h inorabto minds, suggest the Idea of irresponsible slacken. It is thus devolved upon me to say that the alle gation that my ever having written such a tetter u 1* described is unqualifiedly false, and the assertion that I had any purpose or wish to destroy the liberty and equal rights of any state, cither North or South, 1 s • re- Mess and shsraolesa falsehood, especially becauso It was generally known that for many yean before, as well a* during tbe war between the States I was an earnest advocate of tho strict construction State right* theory of Mr. Jeffer son.
