Lis abandonment of the Catholic faith aud ', his let urn to Presbyteiianism, in which he was born and reared. Just why he was ject, to say the least Abchbisuop's Ilorsa; ) Baltimore, November 20, 1874. J To th4 Editor of the Baltimore Gaze tit : As I was certain that in a short time ' ; those who had taken tho Rev. Mr. Jaque- j ! met in hand, would Hud out by sad ex peri- j i cuco what sort of a person ho was, I had j made up my mind not to take any public I , notice of the matter. If he had quiet lv left " the Catholic Church and joined himself with the Presbyterians or Any other denom- ination. I would have said nothing at all. but as the statement he hasinduced several papers to make yesterday that he was a priest in good standing, and had received a certificate from tho Archbishop, declaring that there was no imputation on his char acter, is calculated to convey a false im pression, I have been urged to make a statement in regard to him. Mr. Jaquemetwas never formally receiv ed into this diocese. He owed tnrli nasi. tjon be had in it to mv cote misr ration for a ,)OOI. 1riest - Romha. ninrtA reputation. He had formed the habit of using preparations of opium some years ago as be told me to correct the bad e Tests of the Mississippi water, when obliged to be a good deal on the river in the performance of his missionary duties. Soon after I had received him into my bouse, I found that he sometimes indulged in more active stimulants, and then told him that it would be impossible for me to give him any permnuent situation in the diocese. He begged so hard of me to givo him another trial that I persuaded tbe good Father McColgan, of St. Peter's Church, to receive him at least for a while to test the sincerity of his promises. His conduct' at St. Peter's was so uu worthy of a priest, and V ' J 1 rm : ; , - L"7" i wibucu to get iici oi mm, no wouiu not give me up, aud again so won upon my pity by his earnest declarations as to his desti tute and miserable condition that I prevail- ! ed on the Abbot of La Tiappe, at (Jeth- , semaue, in rveniucKy, to receive Mm in his monastery, in the hope that nnder the ; sidcnin iiil!netices of the lace ho might I - : . . t : if i r t v-utf-i iiifcfi uimiii rvioriri. ii rr;ay i:t le out of the way for me to locution that d'ttii: tin time Lisexj uuscs wciepaid by me. Aflsr remaining for some time at Goth seaiane, he left the mou.tsterv and return ed to Baltimore in fiee of my declaration h:s faculties, he became verv mncli vifu.l and intimated to me when he left the bouse Mint t - " ...... wociliuc V' '!? """ d6l,tut('' nrt a?,n bd Je ? mercy on him. He said that be knew in Cuba soi;ie of the priests of the Mission to which congregation he formerly belonged, and that if I would give him a certificate that he was not suspended, they would no deubt give him someihingtodoas teacher. In order not to drive him to despair, I gave him a few lines in Latin, merely stating that ho had for a short time exercised tho ordinary faculties given in thisdkc:he, and that he was not, as far as I knew, unW ecclesiastical censure. The withdrawal of the eidinaty faculties, although it takes away the power to celebrate the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, er to administer any of the Sacraments of theCliurch, is not a "censure" in the ecclesiastical sense of tho I . , l as 1 e,.ve, ,11r' J'l1"e- to what are called in heraldry cf 't,nC ?" 8 c.al1 because they do iu'Sm WiVfftoTi. drr.ru;:. without ttrst obtainiug furthei info, .nation So far from declaring that everytl.iug is riht- auM. b. -i-f ltt.Ta ai.. i, ,f .i ' Z , --"-- ' .o something wrong, since a good priest re moved to another diocese would bear with him not a mere negative declaration that bo was uuder no eclesiastical consiue, but nes.sIan1. wal: , , Ue above 15 a s-mplo and trne statement of n, eonnection with Mr. JamicmeU It now turns out from his own account of him self that at tho very timo when I was sup porting him out of my own j ooker, and doing what I could to keep him out of the gutter, bo was negotiating with some of tbe Protestant clergymen of the city.

GLAMTOMC Archbishop Bailey, of Baltimore,! ha? written a nhoit letter on the statement made by Mr. Gladstone in his late pamph- let, that since the Vatican Council dellued . the doirma of Infallibility f the Pope, "er- ! ery Catholic is called upon to renounce bis mental aud moral freedofsi and place bis civil loyalty and duty at the mercy of an other."' The Archbishop says: When a person tells me tbat my religion requires me to be disloyal to my country, the old Adam comes tip in mc, and I feel more disposed to pull bis nose than answer him politely. The only thing I have to say against Gladstone's declaration is that it is false, a shameful calumny, and I would appeal with perfect confidence as to the truth of my assertion to the conscience of every Catholic over tbe face ef the earth. It has no foundation either in the words of the decree nor in any possible logical deduction from those words. The thought even that it would have any such bearing I am certain never entered into the mind of any member of the Council. Tbe Vatican eanen did not change in one iota the relations of Catholics to the civil power any more than it changed those 01 l'rotestanis. It left that impor tant matter as connected with tbe order of civil society where tbe New Testament leaves it, where our blessed Lord left it, when he told us to "render unto Ctcsarthe things that are Crcsar's and to God tbs things that are God's." Ever siuce Gladstone committed political barikari by dissolving Parliament be has been a soured and disappointed man, and there is no being 011 this earth more mis chievous and dangerous than an old politi cian "turned out to g-.ass." Everything he has done and said and written since shows that be is as anxious to get back into his cage as a Polar bear is anxious to get out of , his. And 60 be has taken to what an old hnglij-h divine used to call "bis Cheshire cheei-o," the "no Popery," cry which "Little Johnny" and others have tried before him, and is endeavoring to raise the whiilw ind in the hope that it may blow him back on to the treasury benches. It will be owe likely to blow him ont to sea. By this publication Gladstone has paid but a poor compliment to tho good sense and intelligence of the BnglUh people, and I have my doubts whether thpy will dance to his music. If be was situated like Bis marck, aud could put a soldier alongside of every honest citizen to make him dance, "willhe, nillbc," then there would be some tense in the thing. Til hi IIURDETT ORG AX.

Again are we tempted tr the verge of a sort of ecclesian tici!m, and it is plcasaut to feel that what we Said the other day as to tbe scandal of publicity in the misdoings of the clergy, is entirely in consonance with the criticism we have to make to-day. The so-called "Father" Gerdeniami, a fugitive from tho justice of Pennsylvania, was arreftted here in Baltimore ou the eve of bis flight with the com pan ion of his folly or his crime. He pnt a bold face on it and in a published statement sought to exculpate himself by attributing bis reputed defalcation mak ing way with trust fuudsof his poor parish ioners to uulueky stock operations tbe stereotyped refuge of defaulters the world over, and, if true, hardly less discreditable to a clergyman than tbe crime itself. Iu effecting Lis arrest, the Church authorities did their simple duty as citizens. Subse quently we are told and this is the point of our criticism that on being taken to Philadelphia aud a prima facie case made out against him, bail was offered and en tered to any amount by leading members of the Young Men's Christian Association. We have since learned that such was not the case, and that what, for want of a bet ter phase, we must terra scctariau contro versial sympathy, is not to be intruded into this wretched matter. Tbeso "associa tions" in their way do good ; but if they begin to involve themselves in such antag onisrus, their capacity for beneficence ceases forever. There may be cases of injustice to clergymen, but they are rare, aud au unfrocked ecclesiastic of any denomination is such a oue as prudent folks would natu rally not care to meddle with. The chances are they deserve what they get whether they be frotestant ffeecher or Ulenden uing, or, to use a too familiar nick-name the "Romish" Gcrdemann. Our Philadelphia friends ought to re-read a page ef their own s'.ery net very ancient. mi twenty or more years ago a priest uamed Hairao was deposed by the authorities of his Church for some imputed wrong doing, we really for get what. Great and effusive was the sym pathy, ootn within and without his own communion. Had he been known to be amenable to civil process be would have got bail to any amount. Mobs were raised anV lives were lost in bis behalf and months, not yea.-s, rolled by. and proof be came patent that tho fellow was steeped in crime 01 the deepet dye and the grossest character I he judgment of the Church was vindicated, and the wretched man fled the country never to return. We trust that in the present care sympathy may not prove itself to be eqnally unmerited Bil- imore Guzett. A Determim Democrat. The Matich Chunk Jh mtrrat relates the following in cident of the laie election : Near the limits of the borough of White Haven, but in tho township ot roster, re sides Mr. William Shavaliia, a naturalized citizen of the United States. The polling place for tbe citizens of that township is semetniiigovercicrcu mile from Mr. Shav allia s place of rosiilencc, and, uuknown to bun, had been removed sinca a former election. Upon rcachine the place at which the eleotion bad usually been hold be was surprised to find the polls bad been removed, and either by mistake or design was directed to a mining village in a dis- Ianl Pnrt 01 tne township. 1 his place was leached by him enly to result as before 'n M'8 disappointment. Eutreceiving pro- per information as to the correct loeation of Jhe polls, tired and weary from his long walk, be presented In'mself'nt tho window I shortly iMler half past three p. m., when 10 111a uccp woaiio ami 11101 iiiiccitytofj, niiu . - . .1 l.mn.-;.. nn.l . ,3 aitnougu tne euiire election ooard was aivare that he was a qualified voter, his vote was refused because he bad neglected to bring his certificate of uturalization with him. Many of our adopted citizens, undor similar circumstances, ws opine, would at this stage of proceedings hav given upiu despair, since twenty-two miles of mountains now lay between himself and the right of suffrage ; but not so with this brave and detei mined democrat, lie knew tbat the head of a lumber job was located some six and cne-half miles to the north east, aad reasoning that he might there procure a horso, be started for that point en a run. The lumber camp was duly leached, a horse hastily taken from one of the teams, and away he went at a pace that would have done credit to Sheridan. Shortly after six o'clock p. m., a blown and tired horse was reined up at the elec tion window, and William Shavaliia recoil ed bis vote as No. 11G, having made the unpreccdeute t;ma. for tliat mountainous district, of twenty-two rotira v little moro than two and one-half hours, nearly one-third of w'liich bad been performed on foot, and giving him nearly one hour to spare before tbe doting of the polls. When pluck and determination like tbis are exhibited among the masses of the people, who ask not for party honors, but who do ask tho blessings of good and hon est government for themselves and their children, a deep sense of shame should ut terly overwhelm those who aspire to the nositioii of lanrievs nlinnLI : .
