" ; Rome, May 26. The American pil
grims who were receired by the Pope
today numbered 50 Ecclesiastics and
150 Lay' members, and were led by the
Arch Bishop of Philadelphia, and the
Bishop of Alleghany, Natchitoches,
Albany, Louisville, Galveston Detroit,
Greenbay, Hartford and other dioceses
About 150 American Catholics, resi
dentB and visitors were also present
with the students of the American Col
lege, and the American students of the
Propaganda. " After an address they
were presented to the Pope, who was
seated on his throne. His, Holiness
replied that he remembered how an
eminent Cardinal had told him at the
commencement of his Pontificate that
from America would come great com-
fort to the church. . He now saw the
fulfillment of that prediction. He
spoke in great praise of the American
nation, the great things it had accom
plished, and how in the flower of its
youth it had acquired strength sum
cient to arouse the jealousy of the En
ropean nations, but there were errors of
youth in the nations as in men, and he
would remind them of two he bad no
ticed in them : Too great precipitan
cy in the pursuits of material -things,
and a too proud feeling of mdepand
ence. They. prided themselves on be
ing republicans, tbre was a laugh in
wbicb the Cardinals joined. But they
must remember that all must bow the
head to enter Paradise. They must
be humbled, and not let material things
interfere with prayer. He blessed all
American people. Catholics that they
might continue firm in the faith, pro
testants, that they might be illuminat
ed, and prayed that good might de
scend in abundance upon them all.

who engaged in the rebellion, are firm
ly united in favor of several things and
and they will stand by the party that
favors them, and oppose to the bitter
end the party that opposes - them.
Among these things the payment for
rebel property- taken or destroyed by
our army. When Mr Tilden wrote his
letter just before election, against thene
claims, he lost his hold upon the South
and was made to feel it in tbe late strug
gle; in Congress no- Democratic candi
date will repeat this blunder.
' In tbe late house the dividing line
between rebel and loyal claims was ig
nored, and in a single Democratic ad
ministration would be obliterated.
When this comes to pass about claims,
the distinction in rebel and Union debt
will be obliterated and lost; slaves will
be treated as other property sacrificed
by our government. It willnot all he
done or avowed at ' once, but step by
step,' already more rapid, until the pub
lie mind has become demoralized. The
rebellion has ceased to be a crime,
scarcely a mi take. The complete re
storation of the fraternity wilt demand
the abolition of all distinction in law
between loyalty and treason. The Re
publican party was never more neces
sary to nation than it is to-day; all talk
about laying down the Republican or
ganization to take' up a new one with
anew title which' Confederates may
enter without wounding the suscepti
bilities, would be criminal if it were
not supremely silly."

"The committee on privileges and
lections met soon afterward, and the
republican members inserted in the
report that prima facie S B Pack
ard was the lawful Governor of Louisi- j
ana. The legislature was the lawful
legislature, and that W P Kellogg had j
been elected in conformity to the act
of Congress, and was entitled to be
sworn in and to take his seat. As a
number of the members of the Senate
were absent, and that the subject would
lead to a long debate, and as there was.
a general anxiety-to adjourn, the re
ports was not laid before the senate. If
amajority ot the senate shall, atthenext
session be of the opinion that Kellogg
was lawfully elected by the legislature
of Louisiana, he will be entitled to his
seat, notwithstanding the events that
nave since occurred. ro subsequent
breaking up of that legislature, combi
nation, or arrangement can, in the
least, affect his title, or destroy the
legality of what took place at that time,
though the very members who pro
claimed the election of Packard and
made that of Kellogg, should subse
quently declare that of Nicholls, and
taae pan in me eiecuon 01 oponora.
It is too clear tor argument, that they
could take away the rights which had
been vested, or make that unlawful
which been before lawful. Unless Kel
logg voluntarily withdraws the senate
. . . m . -1 4 1

election, as it stood at the time of ad
journment.
Ihe republican governments oi
Louisiana and South Carolina have
ielded to force. They have gone down
efore an armed minority, whose
threats of future violence were guaran
teed by a long train of bldodv deeds
during the past. I regret the real
character of tbe transaction should be
obscured in the least by the pretended
investigations or recognitionj stripped
of all designs and pretenses. The sim
ple fact is, that Packard and Chamber
fain were not able to maintain them
aelvesirx authority, and the govern
ment of the United States, in the exer
cise of its discretion, refused them its
support. -Then, the legislatures, find?
ing themselves defeated, fell to pieces,
and from their ruin j in part, new legis
latures' have been constituted, whose
legality consists only in .the fact that
there are none toi oppose .them. The
law and the - rights -of the 5 majority
have yielded to an armed and aggres
sive minority. ' ;!: j ,; I.
Morton, after describing what Grant
might have done,' intimates, that had
Haves proceeded to maintain Packard
find Chamberlain by using the army,
he would have proceeded to ireitable
defeat. He says; v;'vf'"?. ;

would have been futile, and tbe failure
disastrous with divided public opinion
in his own party ,and both . hOuses'ef
Consress against him, he would have

House has the power to. destroy the
army entirely, and from my knowledge
of the Senate I am sure the Republican
majority of that body could hardly be
relief on, to 'support biro in such a
course. " - - - -
I do not believe that President Hayes
int ends to destroy the Republican party
and attempt the erection of a new one
upon ita ruins. I believe in his patri
