"JUNIUS'' IDENTIFIED.
From the N. Y. Timei.
Bo many important questions constantly
Brine the solution of which depends on the
identification of handwriting, that anything
throwing freRh light on the subject has posi
tive value. The title to property is often at
issue on such points, and the identification
of literary remains frequently depends upon
a scientific analysis of which very few are
capable. There are, to be sure, a great many
persons employed in banks or in lithography
who are commonly styled "experts." and
who are popularly esteemed trustworthy
authority in chirographic matters. But the
degree in which their opinions can be de
pended upon is usually overrated. Mr.
TwiRtleton, who has given deeper attention
to the matter than any literary man who
ever wrote upon it, says that the auniber
of real "experts" in London during the last
fifty years has been very few; and that
limiting the application of the term
to persons whose skill is recognized and de
ferred to in the highest courts of justice
there are now only two "experts" in that
tity, namely, Mr. Chabot and Mr. Nether
clift. The former gentleman, at the in
stance of Mr. TwistletoD, lately made an
elaborate investigation of the handwriting of
the famous "Junius," with the result, for
mally assented to in a long and thoughtful
article in the April Quarterly Review, of
establishing the identity of "Junius" with
Sir Thilip Francis. Some of the steps of
the demonstration are so curious as to make
it desirable to recite them. The letters of
"Junius" began in the Public Adoertixer, Ja
nuary 21, 1 "('.). Tkey have beon ascribed, with
more or less plausibility, to no fewer than
fifteen persons; but the bulk of intelligent
opinion has always inclined to Francis. Still,
this has only remained highly-probable sur
mise. Positive proof has been lacking, And
it has seemed that the celebrated boast of
"Junius" that he was the sole depository of
his own secret, and that it should perish with
him was destined to be literally verified. A
conspicuous link in the chain of proof that,
in the judgment of Mr. Twistleton and the
Quarterly Review, explodes this anticipation,
we will briefly set forth.
Just one hundred years ago, that is to Bay,
in 1770, or 1771, Sir Philip, then Mr. Francis,
was on a visit to his fatker at Bath. At the
Assembly Booms in that then highly fashion
able city he danced on more than one even
ing with a Miss Giles, a brilliant young lady,
whose father was afterward Governor of the
Bank of England. It was the custom at balls
at that time for a lady to keep the same
partner for the whole evening; and so it fell
out with this pair. Subsequently Miss Giles re
ceived an anonymous note, inclosing some
complimentary verses. The note was in one
handwriting, the verses in another. Both
still exist, and have been in the hands
of Mr. Twistleton, Mr. Chabot, and Mr.
Netherclift. Now it is declared by all
three to be absolutely certain that the
Anonymous Note is in the handwriting of
"Junius." This being so, and as Franois had
evidently sent it, it was at first taken for
granted that the Anonymous Verses were in
the natural handwriting of Francis. The
most singular and interesting part of the
story follows. Mr. Chabot, after deep study,
came to the conviotion, not' only that
Francis ceuld not have written the verses,
but that the two the verses and the note
could not possibly have been written by the
same hand. This conclusion was opposed to
the views of Mr. Chabot's employer; and,
as the Quarterly says, the case which the ex
pert had been called in to support seemed to
have broken down in consequence of his
evidence. The intrinsic value of that evi
dence, and certainly the independence with
which it was given, may therefore in some
measure be inferred. Mr. Twistleton as
sented to the professional opinion we may
suppose with some reluctance. Yet it led
him to a fortunate trail. The question was,
If Francis did not write the verses, who did?
A life of Franois had just been published, and
mention was found in it that his cousin and
familiar associate, Mr. lUchard Tilghman, was
with him in Bath at the time the note was sent
to Miss Giles. It struck Mr. Twistleton that
Francis might have got his cousin to act as
an amanuensis. Now, in the Letter Book of
Francis there ae, happily, six letters ad
dressed to Francis by Tilghman. These, with
the verses, were now submitted to Mr.
Chabot; and he soon gave in his unhesitating
conviction that the verses were in Tilghman'a
handwriting. This is pointed out to be quite
characteristic of Francis. He would never
put his own natural handwriting side by side
with that of "Junius." Addressing Miss Giles
in a disguised band, he naturally adopted the
style which he had been so freely using; and
as naturally got his cousin, who probably
sever saw the note, to copy the verses. This
hypothesis is farther sustained by the fact
that lilguman, who was a native of Philadel
phia, and wrote from that city, refers to the
verses in one of his letters, and, indeed,
quotes a couplet from them.
This intertstiDg circumstaLcos is but one
of a number of remarkable corroborations,
arrived at with vast labor and research, that
are held to establish beyond all donbt the
identity of "Junius with air Philip Francis.
The Quarterly congratulates Mr. Twistleton
on having produced a book which "settles
once for all the loner-disputed controversy re-
' epoetin g the authorship of the Junian letters,"
and which is, moreover, "the only work
whioh has yet appeared in the English lan
guage conveying systematic instruction on
l he comparison of haad writings."
Every imaginable adverse theory is suc
cessively taken np and disposed of, and cer
tainly the demonstration, even as conveyed
in the comdensed statements of tUo Quarterly,
appears to be complete. It hardly needs to be
pointed out that the result of this laborious
investigation, interesting and important as it
is, does not constitute the sole value of th
report of it. The successive steDS of th
inquiry, and the proofs whereby each Dosi.
tion has been fortified, will be of immense
service henceforth to the antiquary and the
lawyer. Like many otner patient and inde
fatigable scientific processes, whioh, to the
superficial eye, have only abstract or specula
tive significance, this inquiry will furnish
valuable material fox innumerable practical
purposes in the futare.
GENERAL GRANT'S KU-KLUX PRO
CLAMATION.
M-mm tht V. T. WtrhL
This insolent, obtrusive manifesto shows
that Kaiser Ulysses is so puffed np with a
sense of his despotio authority that he can
not await an occasion for its exercise. He
brandishes it in the face of the country, as
an Indian chief setting out in quest of vic
tims swiigs Lia tomahawk in the air and nils
the forest with his whooping yells In gloat
ing anticipation of future opportunities.
General Grant is forward to tell the oountry
that the Ku-klux bill "applies to all parts of
the United States, and will be enforood
everywhere te the extent of the powers vested
in the Executive." Why should he thus
bully and threaten the whole country without
the slightest pretext or provocation?
General Grant declares that he "will
not hesitate to exhaust the power
thus vested in the Executive." Which
means that he will go just as far as the Ku
klux bill will let him, stretching and strain
ing the law to the utmost limit. And what
is the authority which this upstart tyrant
threatens to "exhaust?" It is authority to
Bhut up the courts f justice, supersede the
laws, make war upon citizens, suspend the
habeas corpus, proclaim martial law, and put
every man's life and liberty at the mercy of
his arbitrary will. These are the powers
which this modest President claims that he
possesses "in all parts of the United States,"
and which he threatens to "exhaust ' if he
can find occasion. He is not content to let
the sword rest in its scabbard until a neces
sity arises for its use; he makes haste to draw
and flourish it in the eyes of unoffending
citizens in sheer insolence and menace.
He is perhaps incensed by General Sher
man's emphatic statement, in his speech at
New Orleans the other day, that the Ku-klux
bill is needless and foolish. But whether the
proclamation is a mere counterblast to Gene
ral bherman, or is an unprovoked and self-
prompted menace, it is such a document as
none of General Grant's predecessors would
have given to the public.
No President who respected republican in
stitutions could show such alacrity in threat
ening the whole country that he meant to
"exhaust the temporary power to suspend
the habeas corpus if he could get an oppor
tunity. The fact that Congress trusts him
with this power only till the end of its next
sessioo, is a confession that the power is ex
traordinary and unsafe; that it is fit to be
exercised only in a great emergency;
that it is like the reserve of an
army which is kept back and never ordered
to take part in an engagement till the troops
in front begin to waver. But General Grant,
instead of regarding these extraordinary
powers as a reserve, to be used only as a last
resource, thrusts them forward while as yet
no enemy has appeared. Instead of using
them as a final resort to supplement and sup-
pert the ordinary execution of the laws, he
makes indecent haste to parade them when
as yet he can point to no fact since the
passage of the Ku-klux bill which requires
him to set in motion even the ordinary
judicial machinery. The bill is bad enough
at best, but General Grant attempts to exe
cute it wrong end foremost. The proper
order of proceeding is, first, to wait till a
case arises under the law; then to instruct the
District Attorney of the looality to prosecute
the offenders in the appropriate court:
thirdly, to see that the Marshal executes the
sentence of the court if the parties are found
gmilty; and finally, if the Marshal is resisted
by a combination too powerful for him and
his posse to withstand, to make the procla
mation required by law and support the Mar
shal by troops. But General Grant reverses
this legal order of procedure. He is so im
patient to exereise arbitrary power that he
issues a proclamation before any offense is
oomrmtted of whicn the Government can
take cognizance under the new law. As
the Constitution prohibits ex post facta
laws, the Ku-klux bill cannot apply to acts
committed previous te its passage; and Binoo
its passage nothing has been done even to
justify a warrant of arrest or an indictment
by a grand jury. The proclamation is an im
pertinence, because it has no faets te go upon;
and instead of applying to any State or dis
trict in rebellion it is brandished as a threat
in the face of the whole peoplt. of the United
States. To threaten the peaceful citizens of
thirty-seven States, guilty of no crime, with
martial law and a suspension of that sacred
guarantee of personal liberty, the writ of
habeas corpus, is a gratuitous and wanton
insult which a loyal, law-abiding President
would never oner. It may sometimes be
necessary in desperate cases to administer
nauseous medicines; but that is no reason
why a physician should hold assafcetida under
the nose of every well man he meets. All
that the Ku-klux bill says about proclama
tions is in its fourth section, which we here
'section 4.;rnat wnenever in any state, or part or
a State, the unlawful combinations named lu the
prtri ediug section of this act shall be organized and

United btates within sucn Mate, or when the consti
tuted authorities are lu complicity with, or shall
connive at, the unlawful purposes or such powerful

of cither or all of the causes aforesaid, the con vic-

ticable, in ever; sucn case sucn commnations shall
be deemed a rebellion against the Government of

lawful for the President of the United States, when

to the end that such rebellion maybe overthrown:

Now, be it observed, that the timinsr of a
proclamation by the President, the area or
district to which it must relate, and the gene
ral tenor of its substance, are all defined by
law, and that General Grant's proclamation
conforms to none of the requirements either
of time, place, or matter. The time pre
served ior me issuance oi a proclamation is
after the ordinary machinery of iustiee has
failed; the area included in the proclamation
must be limited to some State or portion of a
State; the prescribed matter and substance of
the proclamation is first to define the bounda

successfully resisted, and secondly to warn
the illegal combinations to disperse within a
civen time, uut ueneral Grant s Droclam

ROME AT HOME AND ABROAD.
from Harper , Wtku (Hditod by Geo. Win. Curtu.l
Cardinal Bellarmino stid that the Pope
"hath a full powr over the whole world,
both in ecclesiastical and civil affairs, and
that to question it was a detestable hereny."
Pope Paul the Second told the ambassador of
Quten Elizabeth that "England wa held in
fee of the apastolio see," ami Pope P.as the
Fifth assumed to excommunicate and dopose
her. This was the Gregorian theory of the
soope of eoolesiastical power. From the pre
mises of the Roman Church it is strictly
logical. And although within the last cen
tury the claim has been relaxed by certain
Romish universities, and was even proscribed
by Pepe Pius the Sixth, the order te whioh
Bellarnsine belonged, the Jesuits, has never
relinquished the hope and the purpose of
declaring it again; and when its ascendancy
In the Church was seoured it called the (Ecu
menical Council and proclaimed the Papal
infallibility.
Ibe essential absurdity of the declaration ia.
view of the history of the Church is shown,
indeed, in this, that if the Pope as Pope be
infallible, he has always been so, as the infal
libility does not begin with Pius the Ninth.
But if he has always been so, the Church
must have believed it and taught it. Yet, as
Archbishop Purcell said in the Council,
"Every one knows that the Council of Lyons,
after the Council of Florence, examined the
question of the Pope's infallibility, but they
did not see their way through; they could not
find sufficient evidence in Scripture or tradi
tion to define the personal, independent,
Beparate, absolute infallibility of the Pope;
therefore they laid the question aside." And
in 1788 the great Romish universities of the
Sorbonne, Louvain, Douay, Alcala, and Sala
manca expressly declared that it was no mat
ter of faith to believe the Pope infallible.
But the Jesuits carried their point. It might
be absurd, but it was logical, and it was de
sirable. Moreover, when it was promulgated,
absurdity would be no impeachment of it, ior
a ttue ecclesiastical faith absorbs the incredi
ble. The Papal infallibility was proclaimed,
and the Roman Pontiff was restored to tho
position whichBellarniinehad claimed for him.
But the position of tho Roman Church is
extraordinary. Within the year in which the
civil power of the Pope was declared ne was
removed from that power by members of his
own communion. In his own political capi
tal in Rome itself the Government, com
posed of his follow-churchmon, propose the
separation of Church and State. In Austria
the Government, also ot his own (Jnurcn,
bos forbidden the priests to meddle
with the schools, and it rebuked the
Pope when he protested. The greatest
theologian and divine of the Church, Dr.
Dollinger, and its greatest orator, Father
Hyacinths, have each protested against the
decree of infallibility. The King of Bavaria,
a Roman Catholio, has signified his sympathy
with Dr. Dollinger; and Baron von btauffen-
berg, a delegate from Bavaria in the German
Parliament, also a Roman Catholic, states
that the Bavarian Constitution distinguishes
between purely religious and purely secular
concerns, and says that before long the ques
tion may be asked which is the true Catholio
Church ?
Bat the most striking fact of all is that,
while the aaost vigorous protest against the
action of the Vatican Counoil, virtually
claiming for the Pope the civil allegiance of
every member of his Churoh in the world.
proceeds from Roman Catholics in the Eu
ropean monarchies, the most unanimous and
servile acquiescence in it is found among the
Romanists of the American (republic. This
acquiescence is so complete that they have,
with one exception in the priesthood, and he
was peremptorily silenced, bitterly denounced
the peaoeful revolution in Rome whioh has
placed the Government in the hands
of the Romans. And still more sig
nificant and important is the
fact that the political party in this
country whieh claims by its name, Demo
cratic, to be peculiarly the party of the peo
ples, allies itself with this Roman Catholio
element, and it is beoause of this alliance
that Father Ileoker and the priests whom Mr.
Parton mentions cherish the warmest hopes
of the supremacy of their Church in this
country a supremacy which would neoes
sarily be the overthrow of free popular gov
ernment. In 1S0O the Roman Catholics were
about one-seventeenth of the whole popula
tion. In 1876 they were one-sixth. In 1000
they hope to be one-third.
This population is mainly of foreign birth,
or of one or two removes. It has necessarily
no strong American feeling. It is, with signal
and admirable exceptions, an ignorant and
superstitious population. It is compact and
obedient to ecolesiastical leaders. Those lead
ers truly say with Byron, although in another
senBe, "0 Rome, my country!" They live for
one object the supremaoy of their Church.
They understand the methods of acquiring aud
maintaining it. Their purpose is relentless;
their vigilance unsleeping. A political party,
therefore, which, like the Democratic, has sus
tained itself npon ignorance, class hatred, and
prejudice, steadily disregarding the moral law
and the American doctrine of liberty, finds
this rapidly increasing multitude exactly
suited to its purposes. It has, as a class, no
American instincts, little intelligence, and all
tho passions of ignorance; and by pandering
te its desires the party can secure its vote.
Hitherto the political policy of this Church in
this country has been the assault upon the
public school system. Wherever tbat has been
made, it has been mado by the Democratic
party, and, as the consideration of that and
other favors, that party has bad the Roman
Uatnolio vote.
This is a fact too conspicuous and signifi
cant to be disregarded. The success of the
Democratic party would be that of the Rouiw
Catholic policy in this country; for the party
could not salely alienate the liouian vote,
while it could be retained only by the strictest
obedience to eocleBiastioal dictation. So true
is this that there can be no question if the
Roman interest demanded that, ponding the
overthrow of the school system in this State
by uemocratio aid, tne scuoois in mis ouy,
now under Democratio control, should be sup
plied with histories satisfactory to that inte
rest, they would be furnished, -ine depend
ence of the Demooratio party at this moment
is upon the Ku-klux feelino both in the North
ern and Southern States, and the Roman
Catholio vote. Lei every American citizen
consider what that implies.
THE SITUATION OF THE POPE.
From the N. T. Sun.
It is an impressive fact that the only pow
erful government in Europe wiuuu uas buowu
any disposition to speak a gooo worn in ue
hff of the Pona. or to take any measures to
assuage the painfulness of his position, is the
Protestant Government of Prussia. Prince
Bismarck has lately appealed to the Italian
Cabinet to be as kind and easy with the vene
.ni.i iwtifr no nnssiblo. and has reoeived
from Florence the assurance that the utiuost
respect towards the head of the Catholio
Church will constantly be shown by the
fi,w,0nt of Italc. This assurance is also
fortified by the passage in the Italian Pariia-
ment of a tu guarauicoiug v .
tl.nnt oil the privileges and immunities
which could be expected from a popular
hod v.
On the other land, Austria, whioh for the
pat.t half century Lss been one of the bul
warks of Catholicity, lias now fallen away
fioitt her fidelity. Not ouly is the concordat,
which settles tLe relations between the Papal
See and the Imperial Government la a man
ner satisfactory to the former to be abrogated,
but the Ministry have announeed in the Par
liament their intention to propose some sort
ot aeoiarawua against tne reoentiy proclaimed
dogma of Papal infallibility. Should such a
declaration be adopted, Austria under Fran
cis J 08pn win become as deoiaoaiy a souts
matio oountry as England became under
Heary VIII.
The apparently desperate condition of that
party among the Roman Catholics of the
world wao adhere to the temporal power oi
the Tope, notwithstanding it has been over
thrown by the resistless force of events
and we lament to say that this party com
prises everywhere an immense majority of
the Roman Catholics is well illustrated by
the appeal which the priaoipal Catholics of
Belgium have lately addressed to M. Thiers.
They ask him to interfere for the restoration
of the temporal power. As this could only
be accomplished by sending powerful armies
into Italy, and ns M. Thiers has not troops
enough to secure for him an entrance into
the capital of his own country, this
petition of the Belgian Catholics is
almost mournful in its absurdity. It is not
impossible that if Thiers were strong
enough in France he might once more repeat
the traditional fault which has so long been
practised by the rulers of that country. They
have always attended to other people's busi
ness, and weakened France by expending her
strength in the regulation of foreign nations;
and there are good reasons to believe that
Thiers would be willing to repeat the folly.
But circumstances put it entirely out of his
power; and in all human probability Italy will
be so consolidated and so assured in the pos
session of Rome by the time France is once
more free to act, that it will be impossible to
regain for the Papacy the territorial posses
sions and political power of which it has now
been deprived!
