CONSTITUTIONALIST. aug-usta. c*a. WEDNESDAY MORNING, OOT. 27,1869 THE CONSTITUTION. Even the moat violent of the fUdlcele l preserve some respect for and fear of the pre cepts of our great Charter. ’ Even the most bitter enemies of free government under j the Constitution perceive that a time will come, sooner or later, when this very Con stitution will be their judge, and, it may be, their executioner. The uneasiness ex hibited whenever Mr. Stephkhs discusses these matters is not without significance; and those who conspire against our ancient principles have no hope of Dfllunph sav ® through the utter corruption of the popu- I lar mind. Hence they make gradual j strides, and one lawless act is made to bolster up another. But, now and then, a check is put upon such proceedings, and a warning comes that all this 11 dead reckon- j ing,” however cunningly gnessed at, may fail in some supreme moment and send them and their pirate barks shivering upon the rocks of evil fortune. The Ykrgek case, now before the Supreme Court, is des tined, we think, to prove one of the salu tary checks of which we have spoken. Yerger was tried by a military court aod convicted. He applies for a writ of habeas carpus. The Radicals fear that a grantiug of this writ would virtually decide the un constitutionality of Reconstruction. In advance, the Philadelphia Press notifies the President that it may become necessary for him to disregard a decision of the Court and be a law unto himself. So it happens I that the Reconstruction Acts are obstacles J to Radical progress as well as to the wel- I fare of the South. Whenever the dominant faction desires to return, in some degree, to Constitutional Law, the devil of Recon struction stands in the path; and whenever our rulers would willingly continue their outrages upon liberty, a fear of the wrath to come makes them timorous or foolishly rash betimes. The Constitution of our country is still worth contending for and It is still worth the while of our wisest and best to harp on this theme, however unwel come it may be to the ears of Northern conspirators and Southern trimmers. What the Journal of Commerce says of New York imiy prove true of all the laud, some day . I “ There will seem to have come the mil “ lennium of evil and the paradise of thieves. “ But at that meridian hour of the fancied “ security and golden prosperity of the “ dangerous classes of the metropolis, a “ sudden Impulse of self-preservation, like •« an elastic wave, will pass over the face | “of the city. At the same moment, per “ haps, a hundred thousand voters will be “ filled with the burning, unquenchable de “ sire to right the wrongs which oppress “ them, by one mighty outburst—relieving “iu a few days the pent up feelings of “ years. Some newspaper, some man, may “ be the apparent instrument of giving this •< sharp, decisive shock to the dormant citi zens;'but they will be all prepared for it “ the hour even more than the man will , “ have come. The movement of reform “ once begun will not stay in its course “ any more than the whirlwind till its mission is complete. Every public office “in this city and country will be filled “ with men of Mgh character (so far as it “ can be judged by human experience) for “ economy, honesty and ability. The tide “ of reform once risen here will sweep over 4< the State, we predict, and clean out the “ foul stables of legislation at Albany ; and « it is not too much to believe that it will “ pause not till it has purged even the Na “ tional Capital of whatever filth is aggre •** gated there.” < Great Hearts.— This paragraph is going the rounds: “ Byron’s heart was begged by the Greeks at the time of his death, and was kept at Missolonghi, enclosed in a silver case. Four years after his death, when*tliat town was besieged, a sallying party, carrying the relic with them, cut their way, with great sacrifice of life, through the Turks; but the heart was lost in crossifigtbe marshes.” If we mistake not, Byron’s heart was quietly inurned with his brain and body at Hucknall Torkard. But if it fell in the marsh. Mother Stowe probably found and will exhibit it as a prize-pickle. A rat ran away with the heart of the great Napo leon; who knows but the old Yankee Mouser has done the same by Byron’s. Hard Times. —Vindicating General and Mrs. Grant from the charge of gold gam bling, the New York Times says: / “ Whether Corbin or Butterfield is better or worse than he professes to be, is a small matter in the estimation of the public.” Considering that Butterfield is the warder of the U. S. Treasury, this is a piece of impudence which surpasses the sublime, and is worthy of Bkownlow or Wendell Phillifs. Still, if the “ peo ple” permit the trooly loil to steal, the re sult of this impudence be upon them and their children ! .An Artful Dodger. —Mr. Fisk, Jr., swears that be is a citizen of New York. Various and sundry persons swear that he Is a registered voter in Boston. Mr. Fisk ( Jr., avers that lie has, for thirteen years, lived with his wife “in perfect harmony and happiness.” Bevies of experts declare that he occasionally lives with a person named Josephine Lawler, the frescoing of whose dwelling has been paid out of Erie funds. Gen. Grant may be a gigantic Jobber ; but is Fisk, Jr., auy better than a Yankee Notion ? Bad rubbish all l A Lost Chawing.— The Montgomery Advertiser “ cannot understand how a ma jority of the Tennessee Legislature could forego the satisfaction pf seeing the fatted Massachusetts Calf expiring under the avenging, butcher-like steel of the remorse less ex-President.” Well, well, be consoled. The Prodigal Calf may be in the embrace of Old Father Nick before 1871. Our Monet Centre.— At the Lbuisville Convention, a delegate predicted that the money centre of the country must be in the Mississippi Valley. Not while New York grows and governs finance. The Valley of the Mississippi will be the Cotton Centre. — What more would the Valley wish for to move mountains ? Removal of the CapitAl.-—Gen. Sher man thinks the National Capital vjill one day be removed several hundred miWs above St. Louis. "f-i i‘ * 4 J '’■ .. When Mr. Seward hears of this he will make a speech proving that Alaska is the proper locality. Let it go there. We Wish it would. Yeasty. —Yesterday was the day of ex pected tumult in Paris. If the mob rose, it was probably graped and black-balled. Many thousands of Frenchmen hate Louis Napoleon, but would help him in case “ The red flag waved from the city gate Where hie eagles In bronze had been.” The Om» FLAG.—It is yearly played out on the high seas. The exports of foreign merchandize for the past nine months are officially stated at $418,964,625. The pro portion shipped in American vessels was $138,201,636; do. in foreign bottoms, $275,752,989. Hyacinthr Humbug.— According to the Herald, the ex-Carmellte friar repudiates all “conversations” published in other journals. He came here to escape Impor tunities, but IS obliged to acknowledge Ms fat Is in the fire with a vengeance. | JPunius.—The Hon. Edward Twibleton, j of England, has discovered the identity of Junius. No mistake this time; there is not a shade of doubt that the Shadow has l>een seen upon the wall to the original [ handwriting; ||f ’4| e? iT-t Dickinson and then called for her to come out. A dispute arose as to her being Miss or a Mister, which was finally com promised by a stentorian chorus of “Bring a out!” W EATHJtiicocK.—Gen. Prim, who was a rabid Red Republican when Isabella reign ed, is now a rabid monarchist when Prim is in power. Honors change manners, no matter how prim the manners may be. Retribution. —The avenging forms of' J two persons rose up in the Tennessee Leg- I islature and efushed A. J.—the recollec- I tion of Jefferson Davis and the memory I of Mary Surratt. Queer. —According to the learned, Cor -1 bin, in Hebrew, signifies bearer of gifts. I And so it does in American, as the “ trim- I ming ” of Grant’s brother-in-law* Father Hyacinthe. extract from his address to the peace CONGRESS. “ Gentlemen and ladies, I recall the first appearance of the sign* upon the cross on a gentile flag. A prince, whom 1 only name with a reserve, because, although he has beeu iu certain relations a benefactor of the Church, he has, in my opinion, done it much harm also—Constantine the Great— at that-moment he was great, because he combated the blind and vehement resistance of expiring paganism; in one of the pro phetic dreams, as great men on the eve of the great events of their lives and of the life of the world ever have, Constantine saw Christ holdingin his hand —strange thing— a weird-like flag, and on this flag was drawn a cross. The cross upon the flag—it is in the first place a transformation of war, since ft is its destruction. Transformation by justice and charity; destruction by peace. No more war, since that the celes tial beam has engraved the cross on the labarum, unless it be a just war, a war made solely for defesne against violent ! aggression, and as a consequence against war, and for peace. Every other war is pagan, even when it is Christian ; for soldiers of the cross of Jesus, which it pro fanes will avenge itself iq judging it at the last day. No more under the standard of outrage, hate; no more vengeances; no more cruelites; but on these fields of horror and of moral beauty, the same hands which will have made the wounds will draw near, trembling with emotion, and almost with remorse, to blind and cure them; and in place of the barbarian cry of antiquity, woe to the conquered, one will uo longer hear, or longer see, anything but love and respect for the conquered. Some day—late, after ages perhaps, but iu the thought and in the life of humanity ages are days—the light of the Cross will enlarge on the prophetic laba rum, and the standard of combats will no longer be anything but the standard oftbeim mortal triumph of peace. Iu the present age I of humanity, universal and perpetual peace I is only a chimera ; in its future age it will Ibe a reality. For me, I have always believ -1 ed—and to-day I shall let escape my secret lin the assembly of my brethren—l have always believed that in a future more or less distant, humanity would arrive, not, indeed, at complete perfection, which is not lof earth, but at that relative perfection which precedes and prepares heaven. After the ruin of Jerusalem and of Rome ; after the fate of the Old World, which was pre dicted to them, the first Christians, heirs of the promise which was prophesied, did not expect immediately the heavenly eternity ; but a temporal reign of Jesus Christ and of his saints, and a regeneration and triumph of humanity on the earth. I await it—l also—this mysterious millenium, the profound truth of which errors of detail cannot alter. I expect it; and I compel myself to prepare for it, in the humble but I faithful measure of my labors, of my heart, and of my prayers. I believe that the peo ples; like individuals, shall one day taste the fruits of the universal redemption of the Son of God made man. J believe that I you and I shall behold from Heaven a humanity 'more humble and more proud, more gentle and more strong, more just and I mo|e loving, more noble, in fine, than ours ; theh shall there be peace. Over the cradle of our Lord Jesus Christ the angels sang, I in the soft, majesty of the Christmas Eve, a I glory to God in the highest, aud peace on I earth to men of good will. And over the tomb which he had left, as over the cradle of his newdlte, Christ has himself said : “ I have overcome the world, I give you my peace.” The future will reap the promise of the angels, and the gift of Christ; the double hozanna of his cradle and of his tomb. The future does not belong to vio lence, but to meekness ; and that will be accomplishment of that other word, one of those also which shall not pass away. “ Blessed are the meek, for they shall in herit the earth.” [ From the New York Herald. THE INDIFFERENCE OF THE CATHOLICS WITH REGARD TO THE PERE. The utter indifference of the Catholics to the reverend gentlemau’s presence in the city is one of the most remarkable features of his visit. It has become quite a subject of remark among the guests and the hun dreds who make it a point to drop iuto the vestibule of the hotel every evening with the hope of catching a glimpse of the dis tinguished clergyman. It was generally supposed when the intelligence of Ms de parture for this country was announced that his arrival here would create consider able of a stir among them; but so far there has been no visible sign that they case a pin’s point about him or his movements one way or the other. Even the priests, who, people believed, would give their con gregations a piece of their mind on the sub ject of the stranger at some one of the daily morning services, have, with one or two exceptions, manifested no concern in the matter, and are apparently as indifferent to Father Hyacintlie’s “position” as though there were no such person in existence. WHAT A CATHOLIC PRIEST THINKS OF HIM. One of the exceptions to this general rule, however, happens to be one of the best known tunl one of the most eloquent preachers of this city, and in commenting yesterday upon the fbss that was being made over Father Hyacinthe he said: “ I have been in France and I know that an eloquent preacher there often has his head turned by the popularity which he wins.— He is flattered and feted and glorified, and everybody tries to make him believe that he is the greatest orator that ever breathed the breath of life, and all that sort of thiug. Now, a preacher is as much a hum&u being as any other man, and is it surprising that once in a while we witness the sad spectacle of a good man rising so high in the popular esteem that he becomes dizzy with his own greatness aud falls to the earth?” FATHER HYACINTHE SINCERE, BUT VAIN. “Do you,” inquired the gentleman to whom these remarks were addressed, “do you intend to say that Father Hyacinthe is one of that class ?” “ I do. I honestly believe that he is sin cere, that he means well; in fact, that he is a good Catholic at heart and desires all good to the Church, at the same time that he does not even dream of joining the Pro testants. But it Is my conviction that his popularity as a preacher, the universal esteem In which he was held in Paris, the attentions and honors that were paid to him proved too much for his vanity. He became strong in the belief that what every body said of him was true; that he was great; that he knew as' much as any other reasonable man could know, and was, therefore, as good a judge of his own acts as anybody else could be. This being so it was quite consistent for him to refuse obedience to his superior when he was re quested to do a certain thing; Mr wasn’t he Pere Hyacinthe, and bow coblfl Brother Dominick know better than he what was right or what was wrong ?” WHAT HE WAS FORBIDDEN TO DO. “ And allow me here to remark that I do not think that the people in this country are well acquainted with the real merits of the difficulty which has caused Father Hyacinthe to give up bis monastery. His superior did not take exceptions to his sermons delivered in the church, but he forbade him to preach befoie political or semi-political bodies on subjects which had more regard to outside questions than the subject of religion itself. Do you remem ber the outcry that some of the New York papers made against certain clergymen in this city who made it a practice during the war to drag political subjects into their so called sermons ? Well, supposing a Catho lic priest here to-day should ‘ talk politics’ during his sermon, and Ms bishop should tell him to confine himself to his legitimate sphere and he should refuse to obey. What then ? Would he not have broken his vows of obedience to his lawfully constituted superior, and wouldn’t every good Catholic applaud the bishop for meting Out a severe sentence to the guilty one? The question of disobedience is the one which is to be considered in Father Hyacinthe’s case, and not whether he regards the spirit of the 1 ' ' iV ' r i nineteenth century in a different light from his colleagues.” HE WILL NOT BE EXCOMMUNICATED FOR WHAT HE HAS DONE. “ Do younotthlnk bis inveighing against the expected action of the Ecumenical Council in regard to certain matters Will be looked upon as an act deserving excom munication r 1 “ I certainly do not. You or I or any body chooses can, with perfect pro priety, discuss the questious which we be ieve are to come up before the Council, and find fault with them If we choose'; that does ' not make us criminal. We would be simply finding fault with the Council’s deciding a certain wav before we know how It will decide. Did you hear Archbishop Mc- Cjoekey’s address In the Cathedral to his flock the Sunday Tiefore he left for Europe? What did he say about all the talk of what the Council was going to do? He said that it was all conjecture and that even he , himself did not know what it would do.— Isn’t it very foolish, therefore, for Father Hyacinthe or anybody else to waste so much breath in condemning a something that is not yet iu existence ?” HE WILL BE EXCOMMUNICATED IF BE OP- POSES THE COUNCIL’S DECISION. “But, supposing,” remarked the priest’s interlocutor, “supposing Father Hyacinthe should not like the decisions of the Council when they shall have been made valid by due and regular canonical process, and should continue to refuse obedience to them ?” “ In that case, sir, he would deserve ex communication, as would any Catholic who would presume to declare not worthy of belief any article which the assembled wis dom and piety of the Church should have declared an article of faith ; and just so sure as Father Hyacinthe does this thing he will be excommunicated.” WHILE THERE’S LIFE THERE’S HOPE. “I trust, however, that he will not be so rash as to incur such au awful penalty. In doing what he has done he has been very imprudent, tossy the least, and for him to stand against the decisions of the Council when made will be placing himself outside the pale of the Church entirely.” The name of the reverend gentleman with whom the above conversation was held cannot be given, owing lo the fact that he was not aware, when he engaged in it, that the “ talk” Wa.s intended for publication.
