lion ofofficers, for the Grand Lodge of
Pennsylvania, the following officers were
chosen :
John L Goddard, R. W. G. M., Rich

The President's Message, published
in the daily papers of yesterday, on the
question of a restored union, is a reaffitm
ancc of his former views on that subject.—
He makes no concessions to the disunion
negro equality faction, as it was hinted he
would do, We shall publish what it Con
tains on this subject, in our next.
Old Thad. Stevens and his disunion co
adjutors have already commenced making
open and virulent attacks upon him.—
Whether they will carry out their threats
of impeachment remains to be seen.
llow THS CARLE WORKS —An illustra
tion of the revolution which the cable is
working in the business relations of the
country, is afforded by the fact that Eng
3i>h orders upon the San Francisco market,
for the fine wheat of California, have pass
ed through New York by Atlantic Caole,
and thence by Overland telegraph. We are
informed that "these orders were promptly
executed, and considerably within limits,
and advice of purchase returned to and re
ceived by the London merchant, who sent
the orders in the morning of the same day.
Orders have also gone to San Francisco
for grain to be shipped to the New York
market by the steamer of the Pacafic Mail
Company, and the necessary rail facilities
across the Isthmus furnished by the Pana
ma Company. The Pacific Mail Company
are also reported to have favorable eviden
ces that an immense direct trade between
the ports of China and Japan, and San
Francisco and New York, will soon follow
the establishment of the Oriental line of
the Company.
CATHOLICS IN MARYLAND. —The first
permanent establishment of Catholic reli
gion in th s country, was by Lord Balti
more's colony in Maryland,w here some two
hundred, mostly catholics, and many of
thein wealthy, settled in 1633, and the first
mass there was celebrated by Father Al
thane, at the Indian village of Potomac,now
New Marlboro, on the Virginia side of the
river. At the opening of the revolution in
1 775, the number of Catholics in the colo
nies and territories was estimated at 40,0ut)
over one-third of them in Majylaud. The
first bishop, Carrol, was ordained at Balti
more in 1793.
Now the Catholics have 2,550 church
edifices in the United States, which at an
average of 300 to each church, would give*
765.000 communicants, representing a pop
ulation of 5,000,000
The Catholic Register of 1866 gives 15
archbishops, 34 bishops, and 2,505 priests,
making a total of the priesthood 2,554. —
Tie Catholics have 2# colleges, 26 theolo
gical seminaries, 177 male and female aca
demies, and 624 parochial schools, making
a total of 858 educational institutions. Be
etles these they have 171 convents, which
are usually in.-titutions of learning, and 139
hospitals for the sick, asylums lor the aged,
the indigent, and the destitute youth. The
Christian Brothers and Sisters of- Charity
labor in these with no other compensation
than food and clothing and the satisfaction
of doing good.
JsFt DAVIS' QUARTERS. —A Fortress
Monroe letter to the New York Iltruld
says :
The very fine rooms, four in number,be
sides a kitchen, fitted up in Carrol Hall for
Jeff Davis and family, have at length re
ceived the finishing touches of carpenter
mason, glazier and painter. Vacating his
old quarters, which were limited to two
casemates, he was moved into his new and
more commodious apartments ; so that now
baring his deprivation of ttie freedom of
the outer world, he is snugly and as com
fortably situated, has rooms as airy, as lib
eral supplies of lucl,as numerous attendance
of servants, and as complete and elaborate
cuisine auxiliaries as any officer in the fort.
His health hus recently improved most
materially. He can walk unsupported,
his spirits are more elastic, his conversa
tion i* in much lighter ai d gayer tone, and
the world generally has for him less auster
ity and r< pulsivcnese. lie repines less at
ihe past, is more patient of the present,
and more hopeful tor the future. He
now enjoys facilities not only for making
himself and comfortable, but to extend be
comingly hospitality to his numerous call
ers and friends. In his own nnnd and
that of most ot his friends, the conviction
is now very firmly settled that he will re
main here a prisoner all w inter. Whatev
er fate may betide him he will show him
self, firm and resolute in meeting it,

The Falsehoods o r Aholltlsnlsts
What a forgetful people we are. The
giddy whirl of four years of civil strife, the
mad intoxication of the feast of blood upon
which we have supped, seems to have
driven reason, common sense, even memo
ry, from herihrone! Let the reader pot
on his thinking cap for a moment, and re
member, if he can, one of the ten thous
and diatribes which the Abolitionists have
inflicted upon the country during the past
twenty years to show the advantage of
freed negro labor over that of the negro un
der a master. Has it not been said and
sung in ten thousand shapes and forms ?
"Free the negro," cried these blatant "re
formers," "and you shall see the South
even outstrip the North." "It is slavery
that depresses her energies"slavery is
the cause of her being behind the North ;
but give the negro the boon of liberty, give
him something to labor f<>r, and the waste
places of the South shall bloom as the
rose!" Volumes were written, of which
this is the briefest epitome. All that art,
rhetoric or eloquence could bring to bear
upon the subject, was reiterated to show
how great a curse, slavery, so called, was
both morally and economically. Especial
lv were we to have tiemendous crops of
cotton, sugar and rice, as soon as the
shackles were taken from the poor crushed
who, touched by the magical wand
of universal emancipation, was to spring
like another Minerva, full fledged, from
the brain of Jove. But this was not all.
Millions of white men were standing, arms
akimbo, waiting for the incubus of "slave
ry" to be lilted from the South, that they
might rush in and aid in developing her
resources. The crop of cotton, under the
combined efforts of black and white strug
gling in the grand arena of "freedom,"
was, according to General Banks, to rush
incontinently up to ten millions of bales in
no time! The wonderful Colonel Conk
ling, of New York city, a most profound
thinker, and as deeply read in commercial
wisdom as the renowned IFbnter Van
Twilier was in the intricacies of the Dutch
Grammar, delivered an address just pre
vious to the close of the war, b- fore the
Statistical Society, of New York city, in
which, with the utmo:t gravity, he pro
pounded the following : "No sooner w ill
"the national flag be unfurled lr. the South,
"than millions from both the North and
"Europe, who have shunned her slave trod
"den fields, as they would the shade of the
"Bohan Upas, will rush to occupy her de
"serted but enfranchised lands,and will de
"velope her resources as they never were
"developed before. Even the blasted
"wastes of slavery, revived by the touch of
"Liberty, will again be made to blossom as
'the rose. The first year of peace, in all
"human probability, will witness the ac
cession of a million of freedom to the
"population of ine South, bringing with
"them, at once, the economies, the im
proved processes and greater producing
"powers of intelligent labor. Before two
"years shall have elapsed, it is safe to pre
"diet that America will resume her former
"supremacy in the cotton market of the
"world, never more to be deprived of it."
As the renowned Captain Cuttle declared
of his friend, Bunsby, "There is wisdom
for you? Wisdom in solid chunks!"—
And yet it is just stuff as this that readers
of Abolition papers have been swai'owing
for the past thirty years. Robespierre
and St. Just preached it in 1780, before
llayti went down, never toeome up again.
Old Mr. Channing, simple soul, declared
that the same result would follow n- gro
freedom in Jamaica, and yet it didn't!—
Our Abolitionists said the same thing, and
yet, strange to say, found people to believe
them. Every pig, it is said, w ill burn his
nose before lie will be convinced that the
swill is hot and people seim to be just as
smart as the pigs, and no smarter.
Here is Colonel Confidence Conkling
predicting that a million of freemen will
rush Southward the first year of peace.—
How many have gone? We bear now
ami then of Northern men going South,
but we will make an even bet that two
Southern men come North for business,
where one Northern man has gone South.
New York city is fuil of Southern men
seeking a living. Such a thing was never
known before. "In two years," savs this
great Colonel, "America will resume her
former supremacy in the cotton market."
Well, the two years have nearly passed
and what do we see? Where is the cot
ton? All that this year will show is five
or six hundred thousand bales against over
four millions before the war. 'O, the
negroes w ill work for wages This is all
that is needed to stimulate Southern indus
try " And it has been stimulated with a
vengeance ! Already the Abolition press
is trying to explain awav their falsehoods
and let down their dupes as easilv as pos
sible. The New York Tribune, after ex
plaining about bad weather, poor seed, Ac.
Ac., is forced to confess that the crop will,
in the future, be insignificant, and then
savs: "From these statements. Norther.)
"farmers should barn that they must de
"pend more upon themselves for a part of
"their clothing. They must raise flax and
wool, and provide improved spinners and
"looms which save immense labor and
"cloth at home, A half an aere of flax
"the wool of ten or fifteen sheep worked
"up every other year, will give cloth
"which will gladden their family, and even
"their grand children. We have never
"seen a wife have such bright eves or such
"rosy, beautiful ebeeks, as when she un
polled a piece of flannel before her hus
"band and Iter children. If one will look
"closely at this cioth, and with a view to
"estimate its value, he will fancy that ma
"ny of the threads are of pure goM.' This
is a pure specimen of Aminidab Sleekism,
an insult to every person of common intel
ligence. The people asked for fish and
yon gave them a stone. You told thera
that freeing, the negroes wao to make cot
ton cheaper, but how is the promise kept ?
IFhy, you tell them to go raising flax !
Tell them to return to the condition of*
their grandfathers, when men pulled flax
until their hacks broke, and women spun
until the distaff fell trom the wearv land !
Roll back the car of civilization a hundred
years, deprive poor men of cheap clothing
cheap books and cheap newspapers, and
call it progress! Over sevpn hundred
millions of the world's inhabitants dress in
i
cotton alone. Cheap cotton has done
more to elevate mankind than all other
agencies of modern civilization combined.
And yet this "party of pi ogress," this par
ty of "great moral ideas," plunge the
masses into poverty by increasing the costs
of all the articles of prime necessity, and
inflicting upon them burdens too grievous
to be borne. All these calamities have
been brought upon the country by syste
matic falsehoods ; by persistent and often
times intentional lying, by shutting the
eyes to historical facts, and by a cold
and calculating policy of using a popular
delusion to overthrow the principles of
frue republican institutions. — Banner ot

Negro Suffrage.
The question of raising the negro to full
political equality with white men, cannot
be detached from the general one connected
with a speedy arid satisfactory adjustment
of the issues now dividing the States. —
They are indissolubly associated. So long
as the Radicals insist upon making the ac
ceptance of the doctrine of negro snlfrage
bv the South necessary in order that their
claims for political fellowship may be con
sidered, so long will they act in a manner
calculated to keep the States apart and al
ler.atb the people. The negro question is
one full of danger in the future. It is so
recognized by all the leading soldiers and
statesmen of the countiy. The following
sentiments expressed in General Sherman's
well-known letter to Chief Justice Chase,
written just after the close of his great
march, are important as bearing upon this
point, the General writes as follows:
STEAMER PRUSSIA, BEAUEORT HARBOR,)
May 6. IHGS—S o'clock, A. M. )
I am not yet prepared to receive the ne
gro on terms of political equality, tor the
reason it will raise passions and prejudices
at the North, superadded to the causes yet
dormant at the South, that might rekindle
the war whose fires are now dying out,
and which, by skillful management, might
be kept down. As you must observe I
propose to work with known facts rather
than to reason ahead to remote conclusions
******
We can control the local State capitals,
and, tt may be, slowly shape political thot's
but we cannot combat existing ideas with
force.
I say honestly that the assertion openly of
your ideas of universal negro suffrage as a
fixed policy of our general government, to
be backed by p'lysira 1 power, will produce a
new war sooner or later, and one which .from
its desultory character, wil be more bloody
and destructive than the l ist. I think the
changes necessary in the future can be fast
er and more certainly made by means of
our Constitution than by any plan outside
of it.
We rather justify the rebels in their late
attempt, whereas now, as General Scoficld
tells us, the people of the South are ready
and willing to make the necessarv changes,
without shock or violence. I felt the last
war as bitterly and as keenly as any man
could and I frankly confess myself afraid of
a new war ; and a new war is hound to re
sult Irom the action you suggest of giving
to the enfranchised negroes so large a share
in the delicate ta-k of putting tiie Southern
States in practical working relations in the
general government.
A REMARKABLE CASE OF PETRIFICA
TION. —On Thursday last, as a party of
gentlemen were about removing the body
of Mrs. Uaynes, who had been buried for
seven years in the grave yard near Centre
Church, (distance about four miles from
Boont-ville,) for the purpose of deposing
the body in a new grave, beside her hus
band, Mr. Joseph IJaynes, who died on
Wednesday last, they were surprised at
the unusual weight of the coffin confin
ing the corpse, and concluded to open it.
Upon doing so, they discovered that the
body had become putrified—having li'eral
ly turned to stone. The features, body
aud limbs were quite hard and stone-like,
retaining their natural size and appearance.
Ihe breast, stomach and lower limbs were
quite bard and like marble, aad the fea
tures were *o lite-like that persons former
ly acquainted with the deceased could
readily recognize the familiar expression
of her countenance Even the grave
clothes, and the lining of the coffin ap
peared as fresh as on the dav the body was
deposited in the grave. This is the first
case of the kind, we believe, ever discov
ered in Warrick county, and has caused
much excitement in the neighborhood.—
The corps i is said to have weighed about
j six hundred pounds or more, requiring the
united strength of three strong men to lift
it from the grave. Tins truly remarkable
case of petrification was witnessed by sev
eral of our most reliable citizens, who will
vouch for the correctnessness of this re
port — Booneville Indiana Enquirer.
What follows is from a Glasgow paper
and illustrates the bigotry which is far from
extinct:
A pious, church-going compositor, em
ployed on a daily newspaper, a man who
was conspicuous among the congregation
to which he belonged for the zealous per
formance of all his religious duties, was
solemnly excommunicated because he

earn his daily btead. He pleaded the
necessity of his labor, and justified himself
by the New Testament, it" he could not by
the Old But his plea was vain ;be was
expelled from communion, declared un
worthy of Christian fellowship,and disgrac
ed in the eyes of his people.

POLITICAL. PENALTIES IN 6A&ADA.
For a period iqual to the ordinary life
time of a generation of reen Cana'dii has
enjoy cd an honorable reputation for the
magnanimity aud wisdom of its policy in
regard to those who have broken its laws
under the influence of political motives.
Thirty years ago that justly distinguish
ed statesmen, Lord DURHAM, then Gover
nor General of the Canadas, in language as
forcible as was compatible with the digni
ty of his high office, expressed his disap
probation of the vindictive course adopted
to wards the prisoners taken in the then re
cent rebellion, referring particularly
to the executions of LouNrand MATTHEWS
two Canadians, whose fault evidently was
not any deficiency of attichinent to their
country, but that they had loved it unwise
ly, ami thus committed acts for which, un
der'the dominion ot a weak and short-sight
ed Governor, Sir FRANCIS BOND HEAD,
they paid with their lives the uttermost
penalties prescribed by the laws they had
broken.
The memorable report of Lord DURHAM
imitated a new era in the colonial policy of
Great Britain. Instead of urging the exe
cution of offenders and the costly system of
repressing disloyalty by force, he recom
mended the redress ot colonial pricvances
and the development of that system of self
government under which political ofininun
ities are usually ready to endure, because
they are self mfiicted, burdens ten-fold as
onerous as those against which they are
ready to rebel when imposed on them bv
extraneous governments, giving them no
just or adequate representation.
With the introduction of this change, the
removal of the causes of complaint, disaf
fectio-. ceased in Canada. The result was
in na degree owing to the deplorable execu
tions of political offenders. The Canadi
an people, through their Parliament, did
all that remained in their power to atone
for irretrievable acts. They passed laws
to idemuify the rebels of those days for
their losses. The surviving leaders of the
rebellion, who would have hen brought to
the scaffold if they could Dave been appre
hended in Canada at an earlier date, were
permitted to return to the Province Wm.
LYON MACKENZIE the chief inciter of the
movement in Upper Canada,became again
a member of the Colonial Parliament, fully
satisfied with the existing sy.stem of govern
ment; and CARIIKR, of the Lower Province
became the Minister of tne United Provin
ces, and was the guest of the Queen at
Windsor Castle. Men of less distinction
in public life returned again to their homes,
and the career of Canada since the adop
tion of such a policy has beeu one of the
most progressive and instructive known in
history . Her friends in the United States
would regard with apprehension and the
deepest regret her return to a sanguinary
pobcv, initiated by the execution ot the Fe
niau drisoners now under sentence of (Path.
Repression by these means will fad. If the
evils sustained by the Canadians can ever
be remedied, it is by a liberal policy on
the part of the home government toward
the suffering aud disaffected members of
the British Empire.
The course of the Canadian government
should be determined no more by tempora
ry feelings of exasperation among their own
people than by boasts of revenge from their
encmii-s. Those who know the people ot
the Provinces will concur in ihe opinion
that they are more likely ohe goaded by
threats, into tin* acts which the friends of
humanity will regret than that they will
he influenced by cowardly fear. Their
dange- is that they may pay so much at
tention to bluster as to retaliate by acts
wh it h are beyond remedy or recall, and
forget how well they can aflord to over
look any temporary triumph of a few un
reasoning individuals among theii enemies,
if they win a well-deserved esteem by such
a policy ot wisdom and magnanimity as
other nations will at once appreciate, and
the cooler verdict of future historians will
further sanction.
What Newspaper? djfor Nothing.
The following article should be read and
pondered well by every man who takes a
county paper without paying for it :
My observation enables me to state, as a
fact, that publishers of newspapers are more
poorly rewarded than any oriier class of
men in the United States who invest an
equal amount of capital, labor and thought.
They ar<- expected to do more a piece for
less pay, to stand more sponging and "dead
heading,'' to pnfF and defend more people
without fee or hope of reward, than any
other class.
They credit wider and longer, get otten
er cheated, suffer more pecuniary loss, are
oftener the victims of misplaced confidence
than any other calling in the community.—
People pay printer's bills with more reluc
tance than any other. It goes harder with
them to expend a dollar on a valuable news
paper than ten on a needless gawgaw ; yet
everybody avails biinselt of the use of the
ed.tor's pi n and the printer's ink
How many professional or political repu
tations and fortunes have been made by the
unrequited p< nof the editor? How ma
ny em pry e towns and cities have been bro't
into notice, and puffed into prosperity by
the press? llow many railroads, now in
successtul operation, would have foundered
but for the "lever that moves the world?"
In short, what branch of industry and ac
tivity lias not been prompted, stimulated
and defended by the press ?
And who has tendered it more than a
miserable pittance for his service? The
bazaars of fashion, and the haunts of dissi
pation and app. tite are thronged with an
eager crowd, bearing gold in their palms,
and the commodities there vended are sold
at enormous profits, though intrinsically
worthless, and paiil for with scrupulous
punctuality ; while the counting-room of
the newspaper is the seat of Jewing, cheap
ening trad- , orders and pennies. It is made
a point of-honor to liquidate a grog bill,
but not of dishonor to repudiate a printer's
bill

Mexico.
The intelligence from "this distracted
country during the past week is of unusual
interest. • Telegrams from New Orleans
(November 26th) announce that th Em
peror Maximilian has at length taken the
decisive step of abdication.. The rupture
between himself and the Freach Govern
ment being complete, he has left Mexico in
the hand of Bazaine and C'astelnan, the lat- j
ter of whom is understood to have full au- i
thoritv from Napoleon to supercede the
Marshal himself if necessary. The late i
Emperor left Vera Cruz on Thursday, Nov. 1
22d, for Europe. The consternation of the
Mexicans at finding the question of their
future #biitted absolutely to negotiations |
between France and the United States is j
represented to be general, and confined to
no party. Moreover, there is said to be
the best authority for stating that all the
preparations for embarking the French
troops hsve been summarily suspended.
In regard to this last statement, it may
be as well to state that, about the middle j
of October the French Minister of State 1
addressed this Government, proposing a
change in the programme agreed on in j
June last, between the American Minister !
and Diuyu de L'huys, for the evacution of j
the French troops. Instead of removing j
them in detachments, commencing Novem- '
ber. and ending within six months, it was
proposed that they should all be removed
in one body on or about the first of January.
Mr. Seward replied through Minister Big
elow, that be adhered to the original un
derstanding made in June, and hoped there
would be no delay in the sailing of the first
detachment during the present month. On
Monday last (November 26) the Marquis
de Montholon communicated to Mr. Sew
ard a despatch from his Government, inti
mating that Napoleon desired more time
for a general evacuation, promising to 'de
fer it four months. • The President, after
due consultation with the Cabinet directed
the Secreiary of State to reply to the French
Mi ister that the Government saw no good |
reason for accepting any char.ge, but in
sisting. on the contrary, on the terms com
municated by Mr. Bigelow, on the sixth of
June last, being fully carried out. This
conclusion was communicated to the Mar
q .is de Mon bdon. The inference from
tins action as, our Government has no idea
of tolerating a military French Protecto
rate. in place of the " Empire."
Maximilian having gone, Aazaine must
go too, speedily as possible
While, "diplomacy" is thus bringing
things around light, we are advised ot tur
ther " Liberal" victories in the interior.—
The French are reported to have h- en
driven out of the whole of Puebla road,
with the exception of the road between
Vera Cruz aud the Capital, Viewed from
even tne most favorable stand point, these
interlopers, now have nothing if no' a har '
road to travel, and they must be blind men,
indeed, who cannot see that it is for their
interest, and everybody's interest, that they
should hurry out of the country, with as
littie delay as possible.
The Political Delirium.
We are driving at a dangerously fast pace
in national politics. Our nationality seems
to have entered a phase of existence in
which exaltation, feverish excitement, and
experraentalism are the controlling pow
ers, and quite overbalance tlie infiue; s
of reason Even as our world, in its trav
el through space, ha.° passed into the region
of meteors and erratic heavenly bodies, so
pei baps have we come into a moral atmos
phere, creative ol the political phenomena,
now apparent in the ideas and partisan
action of great numbers of our countrymen.
Our people will lose confidence in the
virtue of their fot tn of government unless
some of the old landmarks be speedily re
stored. and, at least, the fundamentals of
our republicanism be recognized and re
spected. We do not as>ert that a political
party is not privileged to adopt what c eed
it will, even f hough to go so far as to op
pose the spirit of our republican institu
tion. But the wrong exists in the at
tempt of the radicals to coerce others into
the adoption ,of their doctrines, and to
force measures upon the country by the
application of the thumbscrew to those
that otter opposition.
It must he apparent to all that appreciate
the nature and intention of our form of
government that the South is not now in
the fulfillment of its proper functions in
the national household The Southern
people are willing and anxious to assume
their legitimate position in the political
family, and their best interests, as well as
the interests of the Commonwealth, re
quire tbeir restoration to an equality with
their fellow countrymen of the North.—
There is nothing to prevent this, except
, the extravagant and unconstitutional ac
! tion of the Radicals, in direct violation of
the paramount principles of republicanism.
The majority of the people of the Flitted
States are opposed to the Radical dictator
ship ; hut, bv the congressional usurpations
of the Radical*, the will of a minority lias
| become the ruling influence In such a
condition of affairs, it is right and necessa
j ry to confront usurpation with the physical
power of the majority. If the South can
not be represented in Congress, it will find
the material for representation in some
other arena. At the opening session of
Congress the Radicals will do well to con
| template the fact thev tannot legislate
against the equality of the States of the
i Union without provoking revolution.—JV.
