viour was crucified though the catiso for which he suffered needed that sacrifice only on account ofthe inscrutable wish of the almighty acting upon this punitive principle the catholic orders of religion founded a curriculum system of punish ments no less to their infamous discredit than to the sorrow ofa chistian world — the albigensian persecution in the 13th century led to the establishment of thc far famed inquisition tlie protesting mem bers of thc catholic chinch far from be ing allowed to exercise the power of simple faith were scorned imprisoned and cxpcll ; ed without the privilege of appealing to a higher and more lawful court while the informer was rewarded the accused ne cessarily became his own accuser ; he was seized thrown into prison and after a mock trial conducted to an ignominious execution the franciscans and domin icans were the principal instruments in the hands ofa bigoted papacy to overthrow a religious sect merely because it declined to believe in the outrageous creed of ignor ant fanatics iu the year 1233 pope gregory curses on his name extended the power of his minions without estab lishing one iota of justice to his cause — both in italy and spain this religious proscription was zealously advocated — commerce was in the hands of thc jews but these unfortunate followers of moses died he death of felons the moors were extirpated by the

year of his sov ereignty nearly twenty-two thousand pro testants were burned and the jews found refuge only in a hasty flight to portugal africa and other countries after sever al eoutests between the pope and du tor queinada it was decided that headquar ters of the inquisition fchot-dd be estab lished at madrid the order of 1732 de clared that all who had observed thc law of moses followed the doctrines of luth er possessed a koran or concluded an al liance witli tbe devil should be doomed to the stake those who confessed their faults baroly escaped death and did so only from the fact of abjuring their for mer friends and predilections this fa naticism extended so far as to condemn those persons who had been dead for up wards of forty years tho auto da fe day of faith usually took place on sun day and the solemn sound of the church bells called together a mass of men for a most unholy purpose tiie criminals were asked iu what faith they should die — those who answered in the catholic were strangled and the rest were burnt alivo lu 1763 the powers of the inquisition were restricted aud in 1808 napoleon abolished this most awful obstacle to tho progress of humanity it has

just and fair when gen gordon of georgia one of the bravest and most distills guishod of tbo confederathe goners ult declared in a speech that if grant were elected president and any opposition was made to his ac cession to the presidential chair he would draw his own sword in his support the extreme radical papers find it convent nt to ignore that sig uificant avowal hut when some in discrol southern newspaper deals in wild lalk its mad nonsense is seized upon and circulated i>.y every section al paper in the north as an evidence of southern sentiment the truth is that the last thing on tho face of lhe , earth tho southern people desire or dream of is war they are at a loss to understand how any one can sin cerely hold un opposite idea neither ; the election of geo grant nor any other man would lead to lesistance in iliu south ol all ik prominent i republicans gen grant so far as ho is personally coticernod is most respected by tho southern people — thc fact that ho has the chief mili tary prestige in the armies of tho united states instead of working to his prejudice tends to elevate him with military people even if tho south desired to appeal lo arms it is as well aware of its inability to do so j as its enemies can bo it seems strange that the north should bo ig norant of the real stato of southern affairs and sentiment this is tbo ago of steam and telegraphs yet m.r john quincoy adams of massachu setts in his late brief and incisive speech at greensboro n c.,said ho bad learned more of the southern people and their feelings and senti ments tho last two days than ho could have learned ill a life time in massa chusetts he was astonished at tho condition of the southern people and their wasted neglected fields if tho north could see it as he had done all onr trials would be at an end when one of the most prominent and intelligent of the public men of massachusetts concedes that he knew nothing of the real state of things in the south till lie went there personal ly what must be the ignoranco of the mass of the population this ignor ance is the result of partisan misrep resentation seizing and perverting to its own evil purposes those very agencies of dill'usiug intelligence which it was once hoped would make tho diflerent sections better acquaint ed and draw them nearer to each oth er we dare say mr adams is right when he says if the north could only see tho real condition of things in the south as be had done our trials would soon he at an end the north would then bo touched by the scene and it would also 6eo what wanton cruelty it is to ascribe to this helpless tieople purposes of self aunihiliation y another war the south wants no war for any cause but if gen grant i6 elected the south is far more likely to assist as indicated by gen gordon in putting down resistance than in offering it — baltimore sun thanksgiving day president johnson hiib issued a proclamation sotting apart thursday tho 2gtii da of november as
