Since the whole governmental machinery is in their hands, the negro must owe his elevation, moral and political, to them. If the experiment of freedom has not pro- duced the best results, depend upon it the fault is not a little due to those who ap- plied it. and if, instead of constdering the blacks as principally useful for cuitirating plantations, instead of sedulously excluding them from office and authority. and bind- ling them down to the pOsttion ot menials, while they taught them the doctrines (.f equality, there had been a more hearty efl'ort to raise them to the lerel of the {credom and civil rights conferred. there would be less reasnu. to complain of dlS- content and sedition.

Archbishop Mmuing requested his Holi- ness the Pope, to issue a‘ “Dull” against the Fenians, on account of their doings in Ireland, fin setting the church at defiance, and their treasonable design against the British Government. His Holiness has complied, so far as to denounce" a‘ll secret societies, but more especially Free Masons. The Feniuns came in for a mild rebuke, but the thunders of the Vatican are launched forth dgumst the time honored association of Free Masons. Why, at this mmncnt,- and in this-enlightened 5:361; when men will think for themselves, the Roman Plontit’f should consider it his duty to denounce a charitable order, is more than I can tinder- stand. That he should de'n'ounce the F’enir ans is liut right, they are of his own faith- ful flock, and undoubtedly the Head ot’ the Church oughtgto doksome't’hing to show that then are diseountenanced by their‘s'niritual advisers.

But aside from all the charges brought against Free Masons, let us ask what has Free Masonry done to merit this censure. They meet in secrth Ah, but what consistency is there for denouncing men for secrecy. when this same allocniion was pronounced in More! consisfory at Rome. If it is \vrvng to he charitable in secret. it is far more wrong for (he church 10 he sé‘arot. 0 consistency. thou mt a jewel. Undonht. edlv Free Masons have their secrets. hut in those secrets there can be nothing incompa- table with either civil or reliszious duties. for in an azes Kings and Rulers have friven it their sunnort, and more than one Pope has been numhered among" the adherents of the order.

This very useful institution is in its finanâ€" cial distress, and on Tuesdav last. a nuhlic meeting was held to devise means to help it out ot‘trouhle.‘ The protestant communitv are likelv to hestir themselves in this mat- ter. as Bishop Lvnch has offered to take the entire _charge_ of the Hospital. to provide room for more patients, and administer to their wnnts, for the amount granted to the institution by the Government. We do not look with favor on the prooosition. not do sirinrzto see the whole disposition of this charity placed in the hands of one reliqious ‘denomination. The ohiection is not aqainst the Roman Catholic churr‘h getting the non. trol: but we would equally ohjeet to plac- inq it in the hands of any one protestant denomination. If, however, the protestants do not rouse themselves, they eannot‘como plain should the. Hospital Trustees view "Bishop Lynch’s offer with favor. The mat ter is in their hands, and on them alone rests the responsibility. It is certainly a disgrace to us to have such a deserving charity in a heggarly condition. A man by the name of Wm. Henning. was [I‘le before the authorities of the village of Yorkville, with passing a counterfeit $10 “bill to a store keeper residing there.

TfiE P'ori: AND THE FR (From our own Correspondent) I think. it would be as well if'we talked less of the enlightened age in which we are actors, and shudder with horror at. the high coloured reports of our missionaries, and bugle education up to the skies as a certain cure, nay, preventitive, for all human frail- ties, which is little better than bugle talkâ€" wind.

The Escape of Stephens the “Head Centre.” The Dublin Evening Freeman of the 24th ult. supplies the following details of the escape of Stephens, the Fenian Head Centre from the Richmond prison in that city 2â€"â€" “ Since the committal of Stephens and his eo-conspirators, the strictest discipline had beer» observed, and a portion of the jail was selected for their confinement, which could not be approached without passing through a number of doors, composed of iron, and double locked. No persons were permitted to see the the Fenian p1 isomers, save the officials of the prison and their legal advisers, and it is stated that Stephens only saw a lezal gentleman once, and that for a short time, since his committal. All communications addressed to the Fenian prisoners were opened and rend before they were. delivered, and also all letters written by them to their friends and acquaintances. At. ten o’clock lust night when the warders made their last rounds, James Stephens was safely confined in his cell. and the keys were duly handed over to the Governor, who had them deposited in their proper order in the case in his office, provided for that purpose. The watchman for the. night was Dennis Byrne, who went on'duty at ten o’clock, when, as we have already stated, Stephens was secure in his cell, and nothingy appear ed to disturb the ordinary night routine of To the Editor of the York Herald. @urrrgpunhrurr. Tavern Riots. (To be continued.) thé prison until a qum-ler to fdnr o’clock this morning, when the watchman, Dennis Bryn]: gaffe the alarm that he had discover- Pd hio tables placed one above another”, near the sixth-western wall, ad‘oining the Gov'émo’i’é garden. Mr. Philpfhs, the De- pntyrGrovernory and Mangan, the gate war~ der‘, went quickly to the place and found the two tables in the position in which Byme described them to be. The alarm was soon made general through the prison, and the governor and all the oflicials were soon at their respective posts, and special messen- gers were sent in hot haste to give informa- tion to the police at the nearest stations, and at the detective office. When the Govâ€" ernor and his assistants went to the section of the prison in which Slephens ha'l been confined, they found the doors of his corri- dor open, and also the doors of his cell. “A portion of the clothes which he wore . on the morning of his arrest he left after him, and he must have put on a suit of black, which he had received t few days he ‘ fore. The searches for the to ritivc were not i left long in doubt as to the mt‘aEs by which the many doors were opened, as two skele» ton keys quiet bright, as if they had been only recently made, were found in the locks of the two corridor doors, as ifthey were too tight to be pulled out by the fugitives~ in their hurried flight. It was quiet evident that Stephens was under tlie quidance of a person who knew the prison well. as the direct route from one extreme of the prison to the other was accomplished without a single blunder, or without balkihg at a lock or door. A prisoner named M'L‘eod, who occupied the cell next to that in which Step- hens was confined, gives most important in- formation, which goes far to show that the escape of the Head. Centre was effected through the agency of a person inside the prison. M’Leod states that while he was lying in bed awake he heard the prison clock strike one, and immediately after he heard a. foot come up the stairs to the corridor in which his cell and that of Stephens were I situated. Heard the corridor door being. unlocked, afterwards heard the padlock and? then.the stock lock on Stephens’s cell door opened ; after this he heard some one come out of the cell, Join the person in the corri- dor, and he heard the footsteps of both per- sons as they walked olf together. From the top of the upper table to the coping of the boundary wall is a about 12 feet, but, strange. there is no si-zn of footprints in the soil earth at. the outer side.
