THE ARRIVAL OF FATHER IH'A.
CINTIIE.
FaTHeb IItacinthb arrived at New York yes
terdaj in the steamer Tereire, but aa he has
managed thus far to keep himself secluded,
and particularly as he only speaks French
and Latin, the reporters who are anxious to
"interview" him are aa yet at a nonplus. The
New York Councils have not off ered him the
hospitalities of the city or the use of the City
Hall for the reception of his friends, nor are
thoy likely to do to, owing to certain peculi
arities of the Father's position. Boston, how-
ever, has entered the field with commendable 1
nrnirmf nans to do the honors of the occasion I
and redeem the neglect of New York. It is
announced that the evangelical ministers of
the "Hub" propose to extend him a public
reception, and they have appointed a com
mittee to confer with him on the subject.
This is probably just the kind of attention
that Father Ilyacinthe desires to avoid; and
although the Boston pastors would probably
be glad to have him turn his back altogether
upon Catholicism, and would welcome him
most cordially as a convert to their peculiar
religious views, they evidently do not under
stand the exact bearings of the case, and are
likely to let their enthusiasm get the better of
their judgment. Any such attentions as they
propose to offer would only embarrass the
French priest, and make his position more
difficult than it is at present. Father
Hyacinthe is a sincere Catholic, warmly
attached to that Church by every pos
sible tie, and he has as yet given no
reason for anybody to imagine that he will
ever be anything else than a Catholic. He is
now the representative of a large and influen
tial portion of that Church who are dissatisfied
with the way things are managed at Rome
by the Pope and his immediate
admirers, and who strongly protest against
an (Ecumenical Council being called merely
for the purpose of registering the decrees of
the Vatican Cabinet. He desires to see the
Church take its proper position in advance of
the age, and not lagging behind it and exert
ing all its influence to retard progress and
civilization; and he recognizes the loss of
prestige that the Church labors under as due
to the infatuated and headstrong policy of
the Ultramontane party. He holds that party
&s responsible for much of the infidolity and
dislike for the Church thaf prevails in France,
and his object is rather to reform than to
defy.
What he proposes to accomplish by a visit
to the United States we are unable to tell,
but it is most probable that he has come here
simply for rest, and to escape the pressure
that was being made on every side by the au
thorities of the Church to force him to retire
from the position he has taken. It is said
that he will remain in this country until the
meeting of the Council, when he will proceed
to Some to press his views upon the assembled
magnates of the Church.
The probabilities, however, are that before
that time he will be degraded from his eccle
siastical functions, and debarred of his right
to speak as a representative of the Catholic
Church. The full text of the letter written
to him by the superior of his order at Rome
has been published, and after a remonstrance
against the course he has seen tit to pursue,
he is plainly threatened with the greater ex
communication if he does not immediately
resume the gown of his order and acknow
ledge the error of his conduct.
His coming to the United States is in direct
defiance of this threat, and the next news
will probably be that it has been carried into
execution. This controversy between the
Church and one of the most influential and
eloquent of its clergymen is highly interest
ing, and, as in Luther's time, it may produce
results that neither party anticipate; but as
yet Father Hyacinthe appears before the
world as a sincere Catholic, respectfully but
firmly protesting . against doctrines and in
fluences that he believes are injurious to the
cause of true religion, and as calculated to
injure the Church and aid its enemies, and
the probabilities are that the kind oflices of
the Boston evangelical pastors will be de
clined as inappropriate to the occasion, and
as likely to do more harm than good to the
cause he advocates.
Is A becest lawsuit in California, the
plaintiff, in sueing a Chinaman, resisted the
right of the defendant and his fellow-countrymen
to testify. If his position had been
sustained by the court, the Celestial would
have been completely in the power of his
adversary, and a precedent would have been
set for the commencement of successful suits
of almost every description against the Chinese
portion of the population. A State law was
quoted to sustain the extraordinary preten
sions of the plaintiff. It was framed in the
same spirit as the laws of the Southern States,
which formerly forbid colored men to testify
in Southern Courts, but it lacked the excuse
which was based on the servile condition
of the negroes before slavery was abolished.
Fortunately the Judge decided that the State
law was practically overruled by the four
teenth amendment to the Constitution, and
he therefore permitted the Chinese defendant
to give his version of the pending dispute. A
police judge, however, had previously given
an adverse docision, and it seems Jo be a
common practice to withhold rom the Chi
nese the right of testifying in their own be
Mf or ou behalf of their fellow-countrymen.
TIIE DAILY, EVEN
An authoritative judgment on this subject
should be speedily rendered. The credibility
of Chinese testimony, like all other
evidence, may be closely acr
tinized, but it is a mockery of justice to
contemptuously reject it in all cases. One of
the most important objects of judicial in
vestigations is to ascertain the whole truth,
and the absolute exclusion of a large body
of intelligent men from the witness-stand
not only defeats this en.I iu many important
cases, but enoovuages fraud, oxtortion, and
various other forms of rank injustice. When
Chinamen cannot be heard in their own de
fense, they sink to the unfortunate position
of having no rights which white men are
bound to respect, and in thousands of cases
they have been subjected to treatment based
on this monstrous idoa. While they have
gone on year after year increasing in numbers
and in usefulness on the l'aoilio coast, the
emigration would bo much greater if they did
not in many instances send back to their
countrymen tidings of maltreatment and in
justice, encouraged by the illiberal California
laws. When the validity of the late decision
of Judge Sawyer is universally recognized,
this evil will be, to a large extent, corrected.
It is an important step in the right direction,
but more conclusive action of a similar char-
acter is needed to completely establish justice
on the Facific coast.
TIIE CORONERS A CCOMMODA TIOXS.
The Coroner's office is one of great import
ance. It is essential that it should be admin
stered in a capable and efficient manner.
This it is almost impossible to do now with
the miserable accommodations that are pro
vided. The Coroner's office is down in a collar;
it is dark, cramped, and inconvenient. There
is no place for the proper disposition of the
jury, the witnesses, the reporters and others
who are compelled to attend when an inquest
is going on, and when' the room is full of per
sons the ventilation is so bad that it is almost
impossible to remain there.
It is disgraceful that in a city like this an
important officer like the Coroner should be
provided with no better quarters, and every
citizen who has been unfortunate enough to
be summoned aa a witness to an inquest can
certify that a change is imperatively neces
sary. Councils ought to move in this matter and
provide the Coroner with rooms where he
can conduct the business of his office in a
proper manner a place where the jury will
not be crowded by the witnesses and specta
tors, where the reporters can have elbow-room
and not be placed iu the midst of the
prisoners, where- the female witnesses can
have a decent waiting room, and where the
loafers that hang about Fifth and Chesnut
streets can be excluded. This is a matter of
considerable moment, and we hope that it
will receive the early attention of Councils.
Dr. William H. Taylor, the newly-elected
Coroner, is a gentleman in every way fitted
for the office. When he formerly held the
position he made one of the Jbest Coroners we
have ever had, and his convenience in this
matter ought to receive some consideration.
The Secbetaby. of the Free Trade League
has issued a manifesto, setting forth that the
disposition is rapidly increasing to break
down the bulwarks established for the pro
tection of American industry, and that free
trade is attracting to her British standard
many converts in the West and in New Eng
land. Numerous meetings have been held,
newspapers have been established, tracts have
been published and distributed, and he con
siders that so much progress has been made
that it will be safe to carry the war
against the struggling industries of this na
tion "into Africa by the proposal of a revenue
tariff duiing the coming session of Congress."
These are boastful if not brave words, and it
behoves the guardians of the national inte
rests to be on the alert. Approximate free
trade has had but one result in this country
heretofore, and it can have but one result,
under the present industrial organization,
hereafter financial ruin. Since this is threat
ened, it behooves every patriotic citizen to
endeavor to avert it.
The stockhoxdebs of the Philadelphia Li
brary vote to-day on the various proposit ions
in reference to the acceptance of the
Bush bequest. While we think it clear that
their individual interests will not be pro
moted unless it is distinctly understood that
they can be permitted to sustain an independ
ent library in the present or some other con
trol location, we are sorry to' see in the dis
cussions of this subject so little disposition to
do justice to the commendable spirit which
prompted Dr. Bush to give the most liberal
donation to the cause of literature which was
ever mado in this country. His gift was
magnificent in amount and value, despite the
singidar and troublesome conditions with
which it was clogged; and, no matter what
decision may be rendered by the stockholders
of the Fhiladelphia Library, this fact should
constantly be gratefully remembered.
