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,

Junius. No mistake this time; there is
not a shade of doubt that the Shadow has

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.
