Mfrs Rev Johnson—His Reply to
Roebuck's hum'taw Speech.
OPINIONS xne mass.
On the day following the delivery of Mr. Roe
buck's speech:at the Sheffield ` Cutlers' dinner,
Mr. Johnson was formally received by the Mayor
and Town Council of Sheffield, , and Ida'reply , to
the address of welcome Was as follows!: •
"My friend Mr. Roebuck, in hie address last
evening in this hall, stated that one of the frail
ties under which the United States labored in
making an extended suffrsige advantageous was
because of the character of a part of the popula
tion which we have received from other nations,
which, to use his own words, consists of a 'fecu
lent torrent of, all the trilschief,,turimience and
vice Of 'Europe,' and be. called " e as 'a witness.
As ray'ellence may be construed into admissicine
of the correctness of his statement, neither'he
nor you, gentlemen, will, I hope, think It out of
place if I now refer:to It. It' - is no doubt
true that bad men and bad Women are to be
found in the United States, both native 'and
foreign.' ' But I suppose that the honorable gen
tleman would admit that, Buck specimens of de
graded humanity are to be found in London, and
possibly in this boroug;h, but these do not affect
injuriously the general.. character of the people
of either , locality. VIC% generally the result
of ignonance, is never 'a match for virtue
and intelligence. Whatever there may be
of the former in • the ' United States, it
has no influence upon the general character of
our people, or the security and just and en
lightened administration of our governments,
federal or state. Whatever ignorance there
may be among the emigrante who in great num
bers are coming among us, it will soon yield to
well devised and almost universal system of public
schools. So happy are the consequences of the
system that not only in our large cities, but in
every hamlet, the best works in English litera
ture are to be found, and are us much valued
there as here.
"The honorable gentleman Is mistaken in sup
posing that our emigrants to any appreciable ex
tent consist of the class he described. Among
the best of our agriculturists are to be found Eng
lishmen, Scotehmen, Irishmen and Germans,and
among the most skilled of our artisans many of
them are from this borough; their labor and in
telligence, their industry and integrity have
largely contributed to the prosperity of
our country. In conclusion, gentlemen, I re
turn von my most sincere thanks for the kind
and affectionate terms in which you have spoken
of my country and myself, and I beg you to be
assured that whatever feelings of friendship or
emotions of brotherly love are entertained by
you or your countrymen towards the United
states will be sincerely reciprocated. You are
right gentlemen, that you feel assured 'that
truth and honor, kindness and gentle feeling will
preside'over and guide the councils of the two
people.' To suppose otherwise Would be to im
peach their justice and'honor.”
WRAY TIM essoLlso PAPERS SAY.
The London press is complimentary to Mr.
Johnson, and some of the papers censure Mr.
Roebuck severely. •
The Pall Mall Gazette says:
"Mr. Roebuck exceeded hie/Self in narrowness,
spite, violence of language, and disregard of the
position and feelings of those by whom he was
surrounded. The Master Cutler ought to have
known bow be was likely to behave,and it would
have shown discretion on his part had he omitted
from his list of invitations either the new
American Minister, ortbe man who was tolerably
sure to base some insult to America upon the
minister's presence. This morning there will ap
pear in all the New York papers the outlines of
Mr. Roebuck's speech. The people will know
that their representative made a speech fall of
the most kindly and generous sentiments towards
England, and that England responded through
Mr. Roebuck, by a coarse and unjust attack upon
the political Iseult - aliens of America. That is the
light in which the incident will be
presented to American readers. We, of
course, should be amused with the
notion that Mr. Roebuck can in any way be re
garded as a representative of English opinion.
Be represents no one but an ill-regulated and
cross-grained member of the House of Commons,
and the sentiments which he expressed last night,
and the occasion he chose for avowing them,
would be sufficient to deprive his name of all
vestige of authority; except perhaps among the
most ignorant class in his own constituency. A
man has a right to his own opinion about Ameri
can affairs, but be has no right to seize the op
portunity of Insulting the American people in
the presence of their Minister.
The Standard welcomes Mr:Johnson's cordial
but proud language. He will find the English
Government ready enough to do anything it hon
orably and fairly may to settle the two or three
questions still in dispute between the two coun
tries,just as he will always find the English people
willing to reciprocate the friendly greetings
which he may give in the name of his country
meu, and always more cordially disposed to a
real and not a formal alliance than the Ameri
cans have yet shown themselves.
The Star remarks that Mr. Reverdv Johnson
represented his country with spirit and dignity.
Would that some one had been present to speak
for England rather better qualified tor the task
than an orator who can stab 'a whole nation by
stigmatizing them as time "assassinating Italians,' -
and who in presence of a foreign - ambassador,
can ridic ule the institutions of the country which
the guest represents,and inordinately boast of our
own. As an exhibition of bad taste nothing has
equalled the display of Mr. Roebuck in recent
unless it may have been some other per
formance of the same distingtdshed orator. Per
haps even he will wince under the powerful,
although temperate, rebuke which was adminis
tered to him yesterday by the American Minister.
The Herald considers Mr. Roebuck's way of
welcoming a distinguished foreigner smacks of
Mrs. Malaprop. But, by way of 'preface, Mr.
Roebuck bad told his hearers that he was not a
prudent man, and he certainly was not over
anxious to prove himself a polite one. It is un
doubtedly fortunate that he spoke in the hearing
of an• American gentleman who knew all the an
gularities of the honorable member for Sheffield
as well as we do, but still the Herald would have
been glad if the speech of Sheffield's represents
tive man had been in harmony with the frank
and generous sentiments uttered by the Master
Cutler's distinguished visitor..; -
The London Spectator says:
"An idea that Napoleon is intriguing at Brus
sels and the Hague re disturbing the Continental
chancelleries. • .The notion is that he hruss secret
understanding of some kind with the Dutch
Cotrt,:-- - as shown in the readinesa of the King
to .sell Luxembourg,—that Belgium is to be
coaxed by great commercial advantages into -a
commercial union with France,''and that the
expected resistance of Prussia will be quoted VI
Frenchmen as proof positive' that Berlin claims
to dictate the policy of France on non-German
ground. Readers of daily" papers will have no
ticed a sudden cropping-up of small stories and
little telegrams about a 'French Zollverein,' and
this is said' to' be their interpretation. We do
not Winch for a moment fol. its accuracy, bat
simpl3r ieport it as an explanation which mat
who are not credulous think worthy of consid
eration:''

fiance.
A letter froni Berlin in the North Eastern Cor
respondence, says that :ail : the. accounts agree; in
attributinglo Ausela,the plan of forming a close
alliance with the , United States. Ju l view-of the
Eastern , question, and that her overtures-have
been mery favorably received by, the Government
at Washington. The first manifestation of the
new alliance, it appears, is to be a joint interven
tion in favpr of ,Cretan independence, in which
Prussia, who has also been concerned in Atte
negotiations, will take part. On the other hand,
great efforts are still being made to bring out a
rapprochenient between Austria and •Prussia.
This, the correspondent says, was the subject of
the long interview which took place the other
day at Munich between Prince Hohenlohe (the
Bavarian Preniler) and the Emperor of Austria.
The latter said on this occasion that he had no
objection to, the proposed rapprochement, but
that it did not depend on him alone to establish
it.
ccident to the King of Italy.
King Victor Emmanuel recently had a narrow
escape from death whilst following a clievreuil
In a mountain pass. Suddenly the King found
bls progress impeded by a mass of rock which
appeared impassable. Undeterred by its formi
dable aspect, Victor Emmanuel put hisfoot on it,
but the snow with which it was covered rested on
a mass of ice, which his Weight gradually dis
placed. A shepherd n few yards below him, per r
ceiving the sportsman's imminent danger,
scrambled up the rock and caught him by the
back of his shooting coat, and thus saved his life
from certain destruction. His Majesty took off
his hat to the poor shepherd, and on the spot
handed him 1,000 Banat He has since then set
tled a pension on him for life.
Dart baldian Demonstration.
The Italian journals contain an account of , a
Garibaldiap "demonstration" at Palermo. A re
actionary paper of that city recently published
some insulting remarks upon Garibalcli, which
appear to have given great, offence to some of
the inhabitants. Accordingly a number of ex-
Garlbaldians and other persons proceeded to the
office of the'paper and raised vigorous cheers for
the General, together with shouts of "Death to
the Priests !" - "Down with the Pope !" and so
on. Some of the young men, then entered the
office, and meeting with no opposition, upset the
is pea, seized all the copies of the obnoxious pub
lication they could find, and made a bonfire.
Prior° the Police came up the rioters had ter
minated their demonstration and quietly Os' -

Whalen Found Guilty—Appearance of
the Prisoner-141s Address to the
Court—He /Protests His inircicelice.
OTTAWA, Canada, 'Sept: 1868.—The Whalen
trial was resumed -to-day. Crowds gathered
round the COtirt-houie and remained , there all
night. The jury retired about nine, and at half
past ten had agreed on a verdict- This morning
immense crowds collected about the court-house,
and the police had to keep the entry clear by
main fotee. No ladies were admitt.
The crowd generally expressed sympathy with
Whalen. The Court opened at nine; and the
prisoner when brought in was very nervous and
excited, alternately flushed and pale. He was
dressed in black, with a gold watch and chain and
Wore a beaver hat. The jury entered amid in
tense silence and gave in their verdict of guilty,
when Chief Justice Richards asked the prisoner
if be bad anything to say. Whalen advanced to
the front of the dock and said In a firm, load
voice : -
have been tried and found guilty of the
crime and of course am supposed to be a mar
deter.. Standing here on the brink of my grave
I declare to you, my - Lord, and to God. I am in
nocent. I never committed this deed; that I
know in my heart and soul. I have been accused
of being a Fenian,but I never was." Whalen
here detailed his career in Quebec, Montreal and
Ottawa giving at length his proceedings on the
night of the murder and his arrest. He com
plained of his treatment by the Sheriff,' and said:
"When I was in jail the witness, Lacroix, was
brought to my cell, I was pointelFdlit him, and he
said he did not know me. Then Sheriff Powell took
my clothes down stairs and showed them to La
croix, and he made me put them on. He then
put me in a line with others, and made us right
about face. While I had my back turned, in
sight of Goode, he pointed me oat and Lacroix
swore to me. They would not let me look at his
deposition nor quettion him, but ran me out of
the room. I know that the minds of the people
and the prejudice of men of opulence are against
me because lam an Irish Catholic. The Sheriff
came to . Ine in my: cell and ill-treated me,
and gloated over me,' and said he would have
the hangman's fee. I would spend the last drop
of pay blood for the woman whose portrait hangs
above your Lordship (pointing to the picture of
the Queen). I served her nine years and six
months— four years in India—and would spill the
last drop of my blood for her to-morrow. I
never took McGee's life; I never oared - higt spite.
I looked upon him as talented and clever. We
Catholics are looked on as traitors. There is a
curse on this land—it is party, and lam a vic
tim to it. I may be accused and found gnilty,but
I am innocent. Had I been on a jury with•the
same evidence before me I would have given
the same verdict. I exonerate them, but did
they know how the Crown evidence was manu
factured they would have given another verdict.
Every Roman Catholip is accused of being a Fe
nian. .Any Englishman is welcome to say what
he likes; but if a poor starved Irishman dares
to lift is voice for Irish liberty he is seized,
charged with assassination, hanged or sent in
chains to an English jail—that terrestrial hell,
where he lingers one of the living damned."
Chief•Justice—"thave given von plenty oppor
tunity."
Whalen—"l am speaking facts—".
Chief Justice—"l will hear you on matters
connected with your, trial ; but we aro not in
England." , -
Whalen—" But these things were practiced on
me. God knows it. He and show all."
The Chief Justice then sentenced Whalen to be
banged on the lOth of December, and said he had
no hope of - mercy. Whalen bowed ; and said ex
citedly: "My Lord,all that §enteuce cannot make
we guilty."—.Y. Y. 'Herald.
—Two Bucker girls, 'deliing in a buggy on a
plank road, were stopped and asked for toll.
"How much Is it?" "For a man and a horse,"
replied the gate-keeper "the charge is fit ty cents."

OUR WHOLE COUNTRY.
The follovling capital exposition of "Carpet
bagging', was one of the most telling hits in. Gen.
Sickles speech last night. In the abbreviated
form in:which we have been compelled to print
the'speeches, much of its point is lost. • We give
it here Complete
,
Tho Southern wing of the Confederate De
mocraey denounce all Reptiblican emigrants from
The North, and here is presented one of the is
sues of the Presidential - canvass i—Llas a man
who votes for Grant a right to live in a rebel
State ? Proscription, violence, insults are now
his lot. Elect Seymour, and the war of extermi
nation !agairat the Republicans of the South,
altar the . carpet-baggers, will be vigorously
prostented by the Klux Klan. What means
thisoutcry' against , carpet-caggera The
rebels- sent a detachment - of carpet-bag
gers "to :New • York. • - during the war
They came Mysteriously with queer -looking
bogs. containing a very small allowance of linen,
and a very abtindant supply of combustible ma
terial. They Bred our hotels, and tried to burn
the city. Then there were a good many nervous
carpet-baggers, who regarded the war as ex
tremely unconstitutional, • and , went over to
Canada to escape the draft. John Slidell is a
carpet-bagger in Paris.' The . ' vagrant, George
Saunders—the "Jem Bags" of the rebellion—wan
ders •over Europe,. with or without a carpet-bag,
according to circumstances: 'Benjamin carries a
green earpet-bag in London. Mason and Beverly
Tacker are fugitive carpet-baggers, like some of
the earlier Virginia Colonists, who left their coun
try for their country's good. Brick Pomeroy is a
carpet bagger. Pollard, the historian of the
"Lost Cause," and the hero of a hundred brawls,
is a carpet bagger. The chairman of the National
Democratic Committee, Mr. Belmont, is a carpet
bagger from the Rhine, and supplies the Rhine
for the treasury of the confederate Democracy.
Counsellor O'Gorman is a thrifty specimen of the
Irish carpet baggers who have possession of the
city government of New York. If his bag is not
full of plunder he must have neglected his op
portunities. They run np our taxes from ten to
twenty million a year, and send O'Gorman to
Maine and New Jersey to promise economy and
h n onesty n when they get to Albany and Wash
gto.
- The "carpet baggers" from the North who
arouse so much of the wrath of Cobb and Toombs
and Forrest and Hampton, aro the discharged
soldiers, the mechanics, school-masters, the
clergy, the farmers, the merchants, and the la
boring men who have settled in the Southern
States since the war. The mischief is these emi
grants of ours carry their Ideas,their loyalty, and
their principles with them. Most of them are
for Grant and Colfax. They are all devoted to
the Union, the flag, the common school,
a 'free press, free speech, and free labor. Gen.
Howell, Cobb, and. General Robert Toombs, in
the name of the Democracy of Georgia, declare
a war of extermination against all carpet
baggers. Andersonville is in Georgia. General
-Forrest,in the name of the Democracy of Tennes
see, echoes the appeal to arms. General Forrest
will give no quarter to earpet-baggers. General
Forrest took Fort Pillow and save no quarter to
thegarrison. General Frank Blair, in the name
of all the Confederate Democracy, proclaims that
their Presidelit, when they elect him ' will dis
perse all the carpet-baggers, assume the power
of a Dictator, declare the acts of Congressnull
and void, and compel Congress to submit to 'his
decref S.
The Constitution of the United States provides
that no State shall abridge the privileges or im-
munities Of citizens of ;the United States, nor
deprive any person *ithin its' jurisdiction of the
equal protection of the laws. Our Constitution
is the - supreme law of the land. Our carpet
baggers have therefore the right to emigrate to
any part:ot our country, and to take, not only
their goods and chattels- with them, but also
their opinions, their sentiments, and their
affections. And if they choose. now and then,
to wear. the old blue coat and the old corps badge
they won in battle, and to bang out the old flag
they followed in storms of shot and shell, no
rebel hand, no renegade sword shall molest
them. And if ever the time shall come to make
good this right, the old army of the Boys in Blue
are ready, When summoned by proper authority,
to reinforce the carpet baggers with knapsacks
enough to establish forever the right of any loyal
American citizen to make his home any where on
American soil.
These carpet baggers of ours belong to the ad
vance guard of civilization. They are the pion
eers qi improvement, education, enterprise and
progress. The Great West is peopled by a race
of carpet baggers. Boone. Cam and Douglas
were carpet baggers. Every year we have from
Europe half a million of hardy, industrious car
pet baggers. Lafayette came over here from
France with his carpet bag and sword, and was
welcomed by Washington. John Jacob Astor
was a carpet bagger. The illustrious General
GI cene took his carpet bag from Rhode Island
to Georgia, and settled there when
Gt orgia was loyal and Georgians had not
forsaken their chivalry. Even China welcomes
carpetbaggers, for is not Anson Burlingame her
honored envoy to all nations? William the Con
querer led some Norman carpet-baggers to _Eng
land and first conquered and then united with
the Saxons in establishing -an empire that has
sent a race of carpet-baggers all over the world,
most of which they own, or propose to own.
Napoleon was a carpet-baggqr from Corsica.
The May flower landed a cargo df carpet baggers
on Plymouth Rock. The Huguenots of South
Carolina were carpet-baggers. The missionaries
of the Christian faith all over the world, preach
ing the Gospel of Our Savionr,are all carpet-bag
gers. All hail, our carpet-baggers! And may
the blessing of Heaven rest upon them!
Taking the Veil in the Church of Eng.
land.
(From the Church Nowa, Sept. 2-)
A correspondent sends 'us the following :
Last week a very interesting ceremony took
place at this 'house. A. young novice took the
';white veil, -- Suid - entered utibii her as a
cloistered nun of the Benedictine order. The
temporary chapel. of the convent was very
ful on the occasion, the event exciting great
interest among the members of the Third
order of the Congregation. At. 10.30 a pro
cession entered the choir, and the priest com
menced the communion service of the Church
of England, which was performed with every
adjunct of imposing beauty which primitive
ritual couldlend to the celebration of the di
vine mysteriel. After the chanting of the
creed the young lady who was to receive the
veil was led into the outer chapel, accompa
nied by her bridesmaids.
The postulant was dressed'as a bride, with
bridal veil and wreath. entirely , in white;
the little girls who attended her wearing
white dresses over blue skirts. _, Having been
publicly questioned by the - Father Superior,
certain psalms and anthems were. sung ; the
novice's habit, scapular, girdle, and sandals,
wimple and cloak, having been solemnly
blessed, the hebit was delivered to the brides
maids. The Superior then sitting 'on his seat
before the altar,in full robes, as Father of, the
order, the acolytes having spread a towel,
over his • knees,- delivered to him a pair of
scissors, whereupon the young novice was
brought forward, and while the novice's hymti,
"Farewell, thou world of sorrow," :was being
sung by the sisters, her long black hair was
all cut off, the black long tresses falling on the
ground around - -
~Her ornaments being taken off, she herself
rew them also, on the 'ground,,ici • token,of
having renounced the vanities of the world.'
She was then-led out by two sisters to put
aside her white dress, and S01)12 returned
habited in - the Benedictitie frock: -Thewhole
CARPET BAGGERS
habit was then placed upon her by the
Superior, while appropriate' prayers aid
blessings were'used. Lastly, After , the binder
and wimple were placed on the ,head, the
white veil was solemnly blessed and incensed,
and then placed over her. head. She was im
med lately led by the Mother Prioress to her
stall in the choir '
holding a lighted taper in
her band, until her • communion. Having
taken the three vows for one year, the service
concluded by the , choir singing, the Anthem,
`Wise virgin, take your lamp and come, the
Bridegroom cometh, He calletb. for thee."
The novice then rose and went forward to
the altar-steps holding her lighted taper, and
while she 'was receiving the sacrament, the
choir-curtain fell, and neither she nor the
other were seen any more.
The ,week before last a nun took the black
veil in this house. The ceremonies on that
occasion were still more striking and solemn.
The Felthain nuns are entirely enclosed; they
never go out ; they only see visitors at a
grating in the convent parlor, and then their
faces are , covered. They observe the strict
Benedictine rule, and recite the ancient Bene
dictine office. As their numbers increase it
is hoped to establish the "Perpetual Adora
tion; at present only a few hours a day are
devoted to this purpose. Daring the watch,
each nun wears, a large flowing crimson veil
over the veil of her order. We also are in
formed that the nuns hope to receive pupils
as soon as the requisite arrangements can be
made
This house is the only strictly cloistered
convent in the churcli of England, in which
the life of Mary, who. chose the "better part"
is altogether led. May the perpetual prayers
and intercessions of those good sisters be of
great blessing to our English Church! Their
prayers are to be especially and frequently
offered for the approaching council of Rome,
that the Pope may have the , boldness to make
it ecumenical by inviting the Anglican and
Eastern bishops to attend, and that so the
outward divisions of Catholic Christendom
may be healed by him who is indeed the
balm of Gilead. All letters desiring informa
tion respecting this house should be directed
to the Very Rev. Mother Prioress, C. S. 8.,
Benedictine Priory, Feltham, Middlesex.
The Napoleon Rochefort War— The
Journalist Bids •Def lance to the Ent.
Of course the Lantern, No.-14, published
in Brussels on Saturday, is easily to be had
in London. But the demand for it there
must be lukewarm indeed compared to what
it is in Paris, where, in spite of all obstacles
the supply is so great, that almost everybody
who wishes may get .a sight of a copy. It is
not surprising that M. Rochefort, having
renounced the attempt to do tolerated oppo
sition, and knowing that No. 14 would • not
be legally circulated in France, should write
stronger in this number than in any of the
former ones.' He, thus declares open war
against - the Emperor and his dynasty:
"The imprudence of the persecution against
me sufficiently indicates its object. The in
tention of the Greeks who 'manipulate laws
as they would cards' (see ' Victor Hugo is to
bury the Lanterns dead or alive. No w , the
task I have set myself is to prevent thepre
mature interment of the Lanterns. My
publication must be a source of terrible unea
siness to you, since it makes you brave the
enormous unpopularity which you get by
your scandalous manoeuvres to put it dowa.
You must confess, Commander Pinard, that
I should be too simple if, while I can continue
to show you up in your true colors to France
and Europe, I should give up the same when
all the trumps are in my hands. Bef
accepting martyrdom, I will prolong tee
combat. The wrestler who feels able to go
on renders a greater service to his cause
than the victim whose sole heroism consists
in resignation. To suppose that any good
can be done with the men of December 2 by
stretching out your wrists for their handcuffs,
and saying, 'Here I am, do with me as you
will,' would be stupid indeed. Such a course
would be duly justifiable when one feels im
potent to be of any more use. That is not
my case. I shall redouble my blows in order
to precipitate the denouement. Ah ! you
sentence me to sixteen months' imprisonment.
Here is my answer. I condemn you to two
years of the Lanterns. Your idea is to put
down a journal which frightens you; mine is
to persecute you by the persistence of this
journal. To give up my personal liberty in
pursuance of your sentence of imprisonment
would he to kill the Lanterns, which lives by
me alone. The only way to extinguish. the
Lanterns would be to expel your glorious
Emperor from the Tuileries. When ever that
devoutly-to-be-wished consummation hap
pens I will put out the Lanterns with my
own hands. Belonging, as I do,to a political
and literary school diametrically opposed to
that of Boileau, lam quite willing to leave
off writing, but Napoleon must first cease to
reign. [This is an allusion to Boileau's cele
brated courtier-like line, "Grand Roi cease
de vaincre ou je cease d'ecrire."] Now, I
annot.nce thia—that every Saturday the Lan
terns, illegally strangled in France, will ap-
pear in some foreign country. It will filter
through the French frontiers, and "will be cir
culated in Paris to an extent that will aston
ish you. Your Police pretend to be formida
ble, but my contraband police will be found
to match them. You .11:my send to every
railway station as formidable armies of
police agents as you please; while they

there our soldiers are beginning to read
my writings, and I will continue to teach
them that love of country is even better than
love of discipline, and that they must beware
of the adulterated drinks which it is custo

coup d'etat. lam perfectly aware that the
