Alstthler iepthat m•atter was, ntder. cen-sideration by our citizens this last week, andthat is a scheme for the encouragement of im-migration to our beautiful and rich common-wealth of Louisiana. The plan proposed hasbeen under consideration forsome time, and isnow pretty folly developed by DMr. UlgerLauve, a citizen of this parish for many yearsa resident of your city, where tie iswell knownas a gentleman of ability and perseveringenergy.Mr. Lauve proposes to form a joint stock as-sopiation, to be known as "The People's Im-migration Company of Louisiana," to be man-aged by a board of directors, composed of mem-

"bers of the association from every patish inthe State which will' subscribe a certainamount of stock,-sny ten or tifteen thousanddollars worth,'and to be worked' system-atically in the interests of all concerned, andespecially the great object in view of securinga shaWp~f-the intelligent, thrifty people flocking to our shores every year, and settlingmostly in the cold notth and west tor want ofSlittle Information about the genial clime and

unlimited resources of our more favored seo-tioen.

The shares in the association are fixed at$100 and payable in three instalmenta--One-third cash whenever the company may be or-ganized, and the balance in one pnd two yearsthereafter. Subscribers can subscribe eitherin money or in land, for, to carry ouat the ob-ject in view properly, a good quantity of landshould be in the hapds of the association tobe disposed of on reasonable terms, either im-proved or unimproved, as may be desiied by

" the settler.Tbhe plan proposed is an excellent one, and

deserves the most favorable encouragement.Mr. Lanve is, inevery way, fully competent tocarry out his plan in general and in detail,and, in the tour which he proposes to make of.thp.tto this summer and .all tkare is no

d bu will be kindly recelved and encepr-a.abyr all having at heart the-welfare of the"P nesa .State." We need labor, and, by alittle concert of action, can get our fnll shab eat aLe. laborers to contribute to the develop-ment and prosperity of our State, and weshould godly hail any enterprise tending toth atca.

UniverpalSCulmb.A Nobody is iedorait that, as Rome isthe centre 6f Chriteadom' so the ReliglausHouies, which have seisted there for centa-ties, are so to speakk, so many seminaries,founded by the nweeried labors of the RomanPontif., endowed by the generosity of piousbeefaotcors, many of whom were foreigners,and governed by the oagreme Pontifics ag-therity, from wrIch-.tley derive dlife, direo-

ind counsel. ".tWoe Houses were instituted and destined

to -famish workers and missionaries in allparts of the world. To prove the beneiswhioh those votaries of the Evangelical Conn-Ise have rendered to the Christian Common-wealth and to humanity itself. it otes neoee-sary to go back to history it is sumioent to

.east one'r eyes on the erent. countries ofaErope and the most remote and uncivilised

reions of sia Africa, America, and Qoesaniea,where even to the present day thosealousmlsisnaries of God are devoting, with exem-plary self-denial, their strength their health,sad even their lives, to the aivatidon of thepeoples. If, then, the Rellgious Orders besuppressed- in Rome, or if their exercises becramped in any manner whatever, the worldwill be unable to share, as it now does, thebenefits of those pious amI charitable institn-tions. The fact is, that in Rome are the Novi-elates where fresh preachers of the faith areto be trained; to Rome the Religious of allnations have recourse to reoruit theit spiritand to render an aooount of their work. InRome, under the shadowsof the Apostolic See,are transacted the affairs-of-all the Houses,even of thqse which are foreign.. Lastly, it I.in Rome that the Superlots-GOeneral, the dgd-nitaries of all the Orders, and the chiefs of •llProvinces are chosen, with the concurrence ofthe Religious of the diferent nations. How,then, can it be hoped that without those greatcentres, org•lnied as they are as present, andwithout that supreme direction, those Evan-gelical workers can carry on-their life-givingand besedoent work with the same successas they do now No; ;to suppress the ReligionsHouses in Rome is to depie of life the -eli-gioo Communities throughout the world; to

despoil those in Rome of their possessions, isi to despoil the whole of the Ordilers of theiri awful property. To suppress the; ReligiousOrders. In Rome is, therefore, not merely aglaring injustieo done to well-deserving indi-viduals, it is, in fact, to assail the.iuternation-al rights of all Catholics.

Moreover, gratitude obliges Us to assert thatthe suppreesLon of the Religious Houses inRome would alsb cause great injury to thisApostolic See because, of the most distinguish-

I inmates of those Houses, some devote them-selves with great usefulness as its fellow-I laborers in the Sacred Ministry, while othersSassist the different (Roman) congregations byt furnishing informhtion about the different

Missions entrusted to their eare; by applyingf themselves to deep studies forthe cmfotationI of error; and again, by affording their advice

upon the various disciplinary questions thatarise in reference to the differet charehes oft the Catholic world. The real object of theusurping Government by this measure of sup-pressing the Religious Orders at Rome is thenr very evident. Yes, my Lord Cardinal, thismeasure is nothing else than the continuationof that fatal and destructive soheme, whichI ever since the day of the violent seizure ofRome, has been hypocritioally carried out tothe prejudice not only of Our Supreme Apos-tleehip, in the interest of which-as is derisive-1y said-they meant to deprive the Pope of thePatrimony of the Church, that patrimonygranted to the Roman Pontiffs by the admira-ble design of Divine Proyidence, and possessedby them during more than eleven centuries onthe most sacred and the most legitimate titles,to the plain advantage of all Christendom.

lenceforward, who can be under any misap-prehension as to the character of that schemewhich aims at the ruin of Our authority assupreme Head of the Church, by lowering itsdignity, by impeding the action of Our augustministry, and by overthrowing the secularorganisation of this Apostolie See? You, myiLord Cardinal, are a daily witness of tie usur-pations, which sometimes under one pretext,sometimes under another, are committed tothe detriment of religion, of morality, and of

t justice; but all which usurpations tend to-t wards the execution of thatdestructivesobeme.e Is not this the tendency of such proceedingsas the gradual withdrawing from Our authority

t of all those charitablb and benevolent institu-e tions, of those educational colleges and publice schoOls, which have ever been the objects of,I the earnest and loving care of the Pontiffs,

Our predecessors? Is not this, too, the ten-dency of that fatal law by which young mendevoted to the Church's service are forciblya condemned to the military service; and by

*which, as by an inexorable knife, the Church'sa most promising hopes are onutoff, and the sano-s tuary and the cloister are deprived of a chosenSphalanx of youthful and laborious ministers 5

Is not this the tendency of that unbridledliberty of teaching all kinds of errors, whetherSby mpant of the press, or by means of lectrtee

publisl and seandalously given with so muchisp sle terip ate'a'nd rebels against theCh tre t obittgy ' Is n6t this the tendencySof that relaxatlon of morals, nodalthat inlo-alent lioease of public pertformanees, and ofthose inaeesmaat insualts offered to the holyr images of God's servants, those frequent pro-

fanations of Divise serviese, those frightfulmockingeof thingeesared, and that systeni-atic opprspesion of all pMrsous whoeremaln loyaland faithful towards the Church and the Pope ?

Youe well Lnow, 3ty -/or Cardinal how5 Our heart is wrended by the oontfhuala sIghtI of al these asietlona of the Chn roh Powes-

nlemas sWe bare u*n made to apply even theSslighteset alleviation to them. We cne onlybewail the soferings of Our roek; not, how-ever, withent raising eoar volee in publio pr-test and reeonstanee against the argeonsiidfleteod on the Church, and in xposing to theeyes of mankuod the miserable conadition towhich, by the frowardnee of the time, We

It is true that We might have spared Our-selvesa portion of the soffering of drinkingdaily of this bitter chalioe, and of being per-sonally prement at so sffcting a spectacle, bygoing to seekan asylum in a loreign land. Buatif reasons of high religious interest counselledUs, in the existing state of things, not toabandon foe the present this City, to Us sodear, and Seat of the Roman Pontificate, it wasassuredly not without the special intention ofDivine Provinence in order that the worldmight have cTlear evidence of thakind of lot.reserved for the Church and the Roman Pon-tiff, where the liberty aud iPdependenoe of.hisdupreme Apostolate h6ve been coupromisedi

He muet be, and apea before allmen to be, tfee in x lress e sovereign Iauthority, New ' be and never 1will be, free and i , so long as his Isovereign power is uder the pressure 4and at the caprice o a hostile government; he Icannot be, and never will be, free so long as Ihis ministerial office Is exposed to the influence Iand domination of poltidal passions; and, 1lastly, he cannot be, and never will be free, so slong as his latw and decrees are not placed |beyond the suspiclon of partiality or of offencewith regard to difeteat a .tione. Under thenew situatio created' for the Papacy since the Iusurpation of the Church's patrimony, conflict 1between the two powers is inevitable.

Concord and harmony cannot depend upon 1the will of men. The relations between thetwo Powers being based upon an absurd sys- Item, the replts. panq) $ e ther than thosewhich naturally proceed from opposing ele-ments, whiob mset neeesssrlly be in a state of Iwretched and eontioual warfare. History it-.self is full of confilets between the two author-itie.and of esamplesof agitation in Christianboeiet.y, oiCln Whenever, the Romn Pon-tiL have hatp snbjeoted, os ever so ahort a.time, to th.e vernment of a foretgnlpower.The reason ile ald . The world being ovide1into a great number of 8tats, Indepsndent theone of the other, some strong an powerful,others small and weak, beao& and tranquilityof consioence among the faithful could nototherwise be secured thaby the certainty andthe conviction of the high impartiality of thecommon Father of the Falthful, and the fallindependence of his sets. Now, how can therebe that certainty- and that conviction, if theaction of the Roman Pontiff be continuallyexposed to the agitation of parties, to thecaprice of rulers, and to the chances of hav-ing, at every moment, its own quiet and thecaim of its counsellors and ministers dis-turbed

Even the liberty of the Saored Congrega-tions, charged with the. duty of resolution ofqueetions and replying to all the consultationsof the Catholic world, is of very great import-ance to the safety of the Church and the legi-timate and indispensable requirements of allthe Christian naions. It is important that noman shall lie disturbed with apprehensionsabout foreign pressure put upon Pont.ifcalresolutions. It is Important that the Pope,the Congregations, and even the Conclave, benot only free in fact, but that their liberty beevident and manifest; and that doubt and sus-picion on this point be impossible. Now, asthe religionus liberty of Catholics depends ab-solntely on the liberty of the Pope, it followsthat, if the Pope-the Supreme Jadg andliving organ of tefaith and lawof Catholics-be not free, they can never beassuredas to thefreedom and independenoeof his acts. Thencedoubts and anxieties amongst the faithful;thence, religions disturbances in the State;thence those Catholic demonstrations, that arethe outward expreesion of the inward uneasi-ness of' men minds, and whieh have been in-oreasing daily ever-sines the date of the vio-lent invasion of the last of the Pontifloal do-minion, and will not cease.solong as the Head.of Catholicity shall not have been restopad topossession of his full libe'ty and real inde-pendence.

After this, it is difficolt to understand hbowany one can-speak seriously about reconcilia-tion between the Roman Pontificate and theusurping government. In fact, what reconcili-ation can there be p thoM existing state ofthings The matter in dispute is no merequestion arising in the political order or in thereligious order, such as might admit of conces-sions on either side so as to bring about a fit-ting compromise. The matter ia dispute, onthe contrary, is about a state of things pro-duced by acts of violence done to the RomanPontiff, and which entirely destroys that lib-erty and that independence which are indis-pensable to the government of the Church.To lend himself to any reconciliation of thatkind would be, on the part of the Roman Pon-tif, not only to surrender all the rights of theHoly See which have been transmitted to himas a deposit of his predecessors; but it wouldalso be to resign himself by an act of his ownfree will to the fkeguentencounter of obstaclesto the exercise of his sacred ministry; itwould be to leave disturbanceand disquietudein the minds of the faithful, to shut the doorto the free manifestation of the truth-in aword, it would be to resign himself of his ownaccord to abandor to the caprice of a govern-ment that sublime mission which the *omanPontiff has received direetly from (lod, withthe stringent obligation of guarding its inde-pendence against every human power.

No, We cannot bend, either to assaults direct-ed against the Church, or to usurpation of her'sacred rights, or to the illegal interference ofthe secular government in religions affairs.Unshaken in Our resolution to defend honor-ably, and by all the means still left Us, theinterests of the flock committed to Our chargewe are ready to undergo still greater sacrifices,and, if necsary,. even to shed Our blood.sooner than fail in any of the duties imposedupon Us by Our supreme Apotolate. Whatmore f With the Lord's help We shall neverfall to set an example of strength and courageto the putors of the Church and to the otherconsecrated ministers, who, in these unhappytimes, sustain so many conflicts for the causeof God for the good .of souls, for the defenceof the holy deposit of the faith, and for themaintenance of the eternal principles of moral-ity and justice.

And now, my Lord Cardinal, what shall wesay about those pretended guarantees whichthe usurping Government professes to be wil-ling to give to the Head of the Church, withthe plain intention of deceiving the simpleand unreflecting, and of supplying a weaponto those political parties who have but littleat heart the liberty and independence of theRoman Pontiff

To waive all ether arguments, what is dailyocnurring at Rome, where the Government basa gaeat Interest in perseading Europe of thestrength and efloieney of the much-valdedLaw of the Guaranteea, may sufoe to demon-strate their futility and impotence. In fact,of what avail ii it to proclaim the immunityof the person and residence of the Roman Pon-tiff, when the Government does not evenpossess the power to proteot us from the in-snlis to whieh our authority is daily exposed;and from the repeated offences offered in athousaond ways to Our very person; and when,together with all houest men, we are corn-pilasd t9 bae.affictd spectators of the manerlauhih, in L~ceain eases, penal justice is ad-ministered Of what avail is it not to kse'looked'thbp door of Our abodo, when it i. L-"possible for Us to go out therefrom withoutwirtnessing imopious and rpvolting scenes, orwithout exposing Ourself to outrages frompersons who have erpwded ointo Oar Rome tofoment immorality and disorder; or withoutrunninlg the risk of Our bec6ooming the ooesionof a deadly confliot Amongst the citizens?

What dese it avaI. to promise personal gIonuantees for tbs high dignita4ries of thshe Church,when they mas even obllled to conecald In thestresssthe insignia ef their dignalty in order toavoid being exposed to ill treatment of allkinds; when the mioisters of God and sacredthings are an objectof derision and of moekeryto snob a degree that it is for the most partnecessary to disoontinuethbs public celebrationof the most angust oeremonies of our holy re-ligion; and when the holy pastors of theCatholio world who, from time to time, areobliged to come to Rome to render their so-count of the affairs of their churches, may findthemseltes exposed without any guarantee tothe same insults, and perhaps to the same diu-gerst Isavaris nothtingto proulhnbthe lib-erty of Our pastoral ministry, wheo all lisge-laton, eve on •b oaost haporteut nsubjects,

They ought toe be persuaded that in sustaining the Romans Pontif's sacred rights they are. defending andsustaining their own rights. They cannot, ata the same iime,forgetthatth~soma Pontiffaad

And, as to Italy, it may well be said, that theRoman Pontificate and the Pontitoal thrones haveforme4 its true greatness, the protectionof its independence and the constant support-and bulwark of italberty.

Lastly, as there cannot be a better guaran-tee for the Church and for her Head thanSpryer offered up to Him Who holds in His

h hands the fete of empires, and who san calmthe waves and still the tempests with word,so We do not casee from addressing continualand fervent prayers to the Most High for theconversian of sinners and for the triumph ofour Holy Mother the Ghurch.

Uniting Our prayers with those of Our be-loved sons soattered over'the whole Catholicoa world, We cannot refrain, If only from feelingsof gratitude, from invoking i special blessingupon them all. It shall preserve them fromfresh and terrible chastisements; it shall keepthem firm and constant in. the principles ofhonor, and in the sentiments of virtue; and Itshall restore to them, through the interceissonof the Blessed Virgin Immaculate, and herspouse St. Joseph, and the Holy Apostles, 88.Peter and- Paul, their former peace and pros-t perity.

Receive on the present occasion, my Lorda Cardinal, the Apostolio Benediction, whichWegrant you from Our heart.

Paul be •nds also a lie-'tioo-allegoric Babbinism." He conclud ethat the West had falsified the tdhelu. ofJesas Christ, Whose Person, he blaspbe-mously adds, "became only gradeUy del.ed." And yet on Herr von alk's theory,

the State may lawfully prohiblt the exclu-sion of such persons as this from Catholiccommunion. It has now rewardedthe ex-communicated-Professor Weber of Breslanby promotion to a higher rank, and the ex.communicated priest Grunert by maklinghim chaplain to the Catholio soldiers. Themovement, however is becoming andmore obviously a tasic ever daiy Oe aof 6000 sldiers at Cologne calledpon bythe authorities to say whether t•tey arenot "Old.

The samemotive appears to have operated elsewhereand somewhat inconvenieutly for theapostate priests. At efeii rfelden the aesparish prlest Bernard oannot get his peo-ple to come to charch; had ilobiiged to tellthem that he will have nothing more to dowith them. "What iwohld yeo have 1"they say to him; "It is precisely beciuauseire wanted to have done with the religiousservice that we followe4 yoa." On theothet hand, Herr Hoeemanq at Tarseanhansen cannot get his former parlshionerato furnish him with the necessaries of life,and Herr Michel writes in -the Ithrahta-.blatt of Bonn, that "the greit philoeophersought to occupy, themslves alittle abouthis osition, that he knows man doe.y otlive by bread lonse, bat that he wantssomething more than to be excommuni-cated and to remain unknown."

BwUIserla•d.- As long ago as August,1871, the Grand Council of Canton Aargastated thait ermany eiii e aSwitzerlandto take the first decisive measures againstthe Church. Aargan had already sup-pressed the Catholic seminary', abolishedthe Conoordat with the Holy See contractedin1828, and confiscated the ecedlesasticalfounodations belonging to the Bishop andthe Chapter; but in Norvgmber, 1871 is de-creed the, erparation of the Church andState on the following principle. All fac-ulties and powers possessed by eitherwhich the State chooses to resume it hayresume. Nobody can biders t it isnotboand to leave any mere freedom than Itchooses to any Confession, and a Churchwhich does not approve of it laws has noright to refse obedienoe to tbem, or evento ask that they may be changed. Ae-cordingly, t 'has prescribed oneasimilatror-ganization for all Confeessone, namely, alay synod on the model of the Calvin.stChurch Synoi of 1806. The elergy are tomeet and return depathis wsho will sit Iontore syeod, and the synod is to name aPreelidentand Synodal Comiatlo-t woleare to form the central and iagpbelie so-thority of the Confession Sudch aeoft resional corporatiou may, h oweves'-ostraotacouaeetion by maneans of a " bonsbdatoryconveasione" wiTh a forig eolesriastldi-

How A PUsNran Go nse PAY.-A circuscompany in Iowa owed an editor a bil for ad-vertisinag and refused to pay it- Thereuponthe editor called upon the sherif who attachedthe Bengal tiger end brought him around tothe newspaper offioe n hi eage. He wasplaced in the composing room, •id during_ thefirst two days be not only consumed fifteendollars' worth of beef, but he scratched sixdollars' worth of trowuers from the leg of alocal reporter who endeavored to stir him upwith a broom-handle to make him roar. Onthe third day the tier broke loose, and theentire force of compositors deecended the stair-case with judicious suddenness. The editorwas alarmed to find bis exit through the com-posing room cut off, and that the latch uponthe sanctum door was~noken. So he climbedout of the window aod sought sst--upon theroof. The pIper was not lsued jr a week,and even after the tiger sru shot the editorhad ti"elide down the ater sjlqat because bewas aflaid to descend by the roate j" whihihe came.
