THE Rfl:>CONSTRUCTION OF TH!<: SOUTHERN STATES.

A marked <litference of opinion existed at the convention of 1787 between the Northern am! the Souther n delE>gates on the questions of tari ff anrl sl.a.v;ery . ._t\, c.ompromi se Was effected in the Constitnt:ion, -r~riy:at e controversies were la id a8irle, the gior.ious Union was formerl and the American people were blessed with peace and pxosperi ty. These t1vo problem ~, ho wever, continued f1·oru time to tim e, to agitate the public minrl. Compromises for th e adjustment •·fdifferences wPte made !)eriorlicn.lly, but where opposing principl ~ s are contendrng for suprerr. acy, ·althc ug h com,pro,mi;;es may retard , tlwy cann ot pre vent 'the ultimate 6.r:flict ·.

R.>th sicl'ls senl fqrth to battle nrm ies which for co unl!!E', fllrt it ude, patriotism anrl 11!1 the qualities thu L tmtke armies invincible, have never b!'en surpn~sed.

tliey fnilcd ; the Union was not destroyed and only required for il s coruplete restoration the reconstruction ol t he seceder! states. "State-secession is state-suicide.''.

T :1e Snt thern states politically dead, h11d t o be resuscitaterl and this was dune by restoring them to statehood a11d re:.trlm itting them into the Union .

Ualfort nnately fm· the South, the administration· at Was hi11gto n posse~sed very confused views concerning the ri,ghtsand power of the general government and the d isti net ion betwee n the !Pgisla.ti ve and executive d epart. meots of that govenuu ent. They were besides, more desiro usofadvancing party i:>t<lrests than of rightly in terpreting coustitutionallaw. The congressional bills, e~e<:uli ve prc,clamatiOllS and arbitrary war measures of t~1e time were glaringly impolitic. They arose partly f•nm the preva: Jing belief that the people were per~ on ally sovereign anrl t!Jat the tilll!:'st powers of the U uitecl Slate~ ve~ted in tile general govemment.

Many mi,taken views on reconstruction wert: the logie;tl onteom~:> oi previous errors on secession. On this whjt>el tbe gi·nvf'st inconsistencies appear in the theories ot the Linco ln a<lm ifli, tration. It ,:tarted wi th the idea that Hate-~ecession or state-destrnction was impos~ible , a11rl that th e Svutheru States though in open rebellion, s1ill continued as members of the Union, wit h their r ights, tranctlises and privileges unimpaired. The admin istration regari1ed the rebdlion as a personal i n~ urrect ion , not a territorial pne, ano yet it held the e.leven states to be rebellious, blockaded their ports ancl preventetl all interco ur ~e with them. The United State8 Supreme Cou r t when 1>ppealed to on tile legality of the !.Jioeade, pronounced the rebellion a territorial, civil war and rleeided th:\t as such, war measures were lawful.

H ere we have two distinct, contradictory views of the c:1s·_, yet the government contin ueo to hold both and to act on eithe.r as prompted by circumstances. Hence the orgnni Y-Htion of loyal Virginians into the State of )Vest Virginia. l-Ienee also the later effor ts to form a. federal orga11ization from the handful of Unionists in Arkansas, Louisiana, and T enne&see. Inconsistencies such as these can hardly,: be excusl'd. However, the . mistakes of the adi)fl ' on may appear pardonable when we cc•nsider ihat t 1e measures of the government were experiments, the case being wi thout precedent in the history of nations.

VI A TEU K'~ VOL LEGE JUU RN AL.

Reconstruction properly so called, ;s the reorganiza tion of !1. sececl ed State and its reaci mi ssion into the U •ion. By seceding, a State re~igns its politiC1t.l existence a8 an integ-ral 'portion of the United States. It renou.nces its right of ,,omplete local aut•)nomy of a voice in the. coun cils of the nation of ratifyil,jg constitutional amendments and all other privileges peculiar to stateboorl.

1'be theo ry of ~tates bci ng in open rebellion nnd at the same time consid ered active members of thP- U nion is no longer tenal;>le. This th eory rested o n the suppositi on that the i·nciiviclu als of a state were not responsible for the acts of the terrilori a] pf'<'ple. Now, by the lnw of solidarity, rwt.>.ry ciLizen o f tbe ele ven stntes virtnal!y secened with hi(> state; bnt fl lthoug h th e few citizens who reo1n.ined loyal to the U ni on ctid not i1•cur with the rnnjority, the penalties of trea.son, yet th ey could not claim t hat in t-hem the state was prese rved, nr itlwr conlci thE>y presume to c,)ntrol sta te-recon~t,.nction for they were not the territorial people. By th e ·code of nntions thfl l aw ~ of the lflpsed stat es rem11irwrl in force though the states themse lves hn.d become mere territory under the Union. The~e laws defined the geographic;:al bouncinries and the electoral people, and consequenrly the reconstruction of the states was a work of restoration, not of creation. In ad miHing territories to stateb.ood Congress is empowereci to clefine the geographical hound:wies anci the electoral people, hut in r~cco nstru c ­ tion both these preliminary me'tsllres are laid ci own in the state code whi ch can be revoked only by the sovere ign people.

Congress may ordain that officials be provisionally appoi nted to superintend the work of reorganizn.tion; it may insist on negro-suffrage 5,ince the freecimen must be represe nted ; it may concede or withhold permission to reorganize; but the. work itself of reC<'I)Struction is clearly ou tsid e the pro,vince of Co11gress. It belongs to the electoral people of the in eli viflual states. The governmetJt has no right to pui·ge the electoral body , for the whole territorial people . stand on the same basis.

The well kn own ironcl:Jd oath imposed by the government was an unwarra11tecl assumption of authority. It retarded the pwgress of the South and occasioneci many ev ils not the least of which was the i1•ft"x Of carpet-baggers with their myriads ot . pa rasites.

The govet'nment also presumerl to reg:ud certain individuals as amer' able for treason anrl to use military measures against them. '\Var powers cease with the w!l.r wh ich gave them being. Traitors could then be punished on ly by due process of law. Again the greater part ~f the t erritorial South and not mm·ely , a few ind ividuals, were guj]ty of .treason. In their case, treason W!l.S only material and theiefore not imputable; they were too Jlu.:uerous to punish; the mtercst of the country forbade it, find it would be inconsiste nt in the

American people, always sym pathizing .w jth r~v o !u tion and its partisans ill other land s, to dea.'l harshly with their own rebellious citizens. ThE< loss of.their ca'JSe together wit h the destruction of their prop~rty a nd tbe terrible d evastation which mnrked the invad er's uacl{ of our armies, wns a sufficient punishment tor the Southern people. None but a cuwarcl• kicks a fnlle.A foe; a brave people is generous anrl the victors in t he rece nt con tlict should be doubly so.

Only one of th e c>~nses wh1ch leo to the late w11r now rem ains, and it t"" • lllll~t soon pass away. That cau~e WHS th e l:wk o1 pr(IJlf1 r uuderstan cl ing n.ncl tbternd feeling between t.he two sec ti on:;. They knew each 01 her too little. They misunderstood eneh other too mu ch.

Now both have common c;~ use in the love of a reunited country. The havoc a nd desolation lrfL in tbe. ~outh have disappeared. A new So uth has, ph oonix -like sprunf{ from the ruins of the old. The Southern people by th.iFI vigoro us ~tppl icat i on to industrial pur~uits have made themselves the peers 0f any secLion or eountry in aohieving the vicLories of pe:·ICC, :wd th('y :~re to-d;, y foremost. in the great battle t.lutt is being wngeri f•Jr .commercial and industri al supremtwy.

And some 'of the most useful ancl valuable of these metal~, such a~ gvld , silv<Jr 1i11d platinum, are 1ouurl in close mineral combinations, but guld is th e more easily disingaged from its alloys, and of higl!er valu e than the other two, whi ch has caused it to be m6I'e extensi-vely sought after!

Gold is the only metal v i a pure yellow color, whi.ch IS however, notably effected by small quantities of other metals ; thus the tint is serisP>}y lowered by small quantities of silver and heightened by copper, wiLh which it is nearly always alloyed. Jn th e pure state it is nearly as soft as leAd and is the most malleable of -a ll the metals. The powrr of resi~ting oxidation, which it possesses, has caused it to be highly valued from the earliest a:ges.

In the d:~rk horizon a gleam of fire sho11ts forth, incess11nt ftnsh es of lighting dart to nncl fro , anfl burst.~ of echoing thunder IJeal, on peal cnmplete t his grnnti nnfl -sublime picture. Gorl 81\irl •'let there be light.'' Then we behold the smiling sun whi11u rises 1\.S t.he cl~-.V pwgresses, anrl the light of s~.ars ancl moon which cause•l terror in the minrls of the 11hepherds. All th is science reveals Unt1er the technicnl name of Geology. To treat at length of this bt·anch of :-cience would for me be an impos.'libility. a ncl were I ab le time woulrl not permit.

On every rodior speci men that exist-s volumes have been written and there is mu c h yet to acomplish. In this short &!Say I intend to review a few of thewonrlers ofGbology.

Volcanoes 11re similar in shape to a gigantic cone 'ffhosi! t()ps seem an observator ,,f mother earth, and - --n 'With fiignity ~&net contllmpt the fierce ap,d '!llging

waves of the sea. Some volcanoes are constantly discharging steam and melted rocks or lava. These are selrlom rlan : • ro"~ aurl are pnssecl with li ttle notice.

It is when in a dormr1.11t st11te fur ye>\r anrl centuries that the volca noe ar.cumuhtes gas<-s - a nrl with the great _!.eat beneath igpit<'s this matte r and produces one of the- most si1biitne ><·· ',,_ that nature affords.

This vioiPut ertoption is pree<'derl hy muffi ed nois es :mel e:•rth treli·Ors Rn<i shocks causerl probably hy the fracturing of suhtP.t'l'r~ne:m train. Explo~iou follows and the solirl blocks of glowing lava a re scattered far and wicle, The ,t.earn rising rapid ly aclcls a great globular mnss to the d~1st anrl .o·loucl can opy forming llbove.

Tlie glow of liquid lava with the r :~pid ascent of iuc11nrle~ ce nt fragments prorluces the illusion .. rhrilli:~ nt tongnf's of fhnw is,.ui.ng fron1 the crater. 'Vho bas not hearri oftbe erupt.ion of mount Vesuvius? When the great popu lHcP had a!'sem bled to see lhl:l li01; devunr mort;d man anti t.he wi c k e clne~s lh~cl reacLecl the highest c!egree of their morbid tn.ste, this mount opened as 11 to swnllow their vice and.

Over the crushing vines f)\•er the clesobte streets far and .wide with m:1ny n ro ight,Y ~pl11sb in the agitated sea fell th:.tt ,.wful shower. But in proportion as the blackness gathf'red did th e Jightings around Vesuvius increase in tlwi r vi viol .:111rl ecorching glare. The huger stones strikioog Hg:ti nst each other broke into countless frf.lgm<~ ""~ cmiLLing sparks of fire which s<c.t abl:~:r.e whntever w:ts combustible w1thin its reach. Such is the work of t he mighty volcanoe.

Now let us turn to what is nl~o terrific and ill rle~in · cl. Nearly every hour some locality is reminded as of cl<'nth hy the oecnrrPr,ce of a n enrthquske.

thief at nigbt awakes us from the slumber of innocence with imperative rlem ancls aurl plunders. Au I have ~tatecl that from the history of the past our present kuow'ledge is acqutred, we are led , witlwut any introduction t.o t.he subject of fos,sil5 ; that which for ag-es perplexed m ·•nki.nd and to-day is attr~trting the attention of the mnltitude . .This name is applied to all an imal ot' vege table remo:~ins wh ich are found imbedded· in the rocks of the earth's crust. They ·are formed like sed im entary ro<.:ks, are now formi11g, at~d have been formed in all times . An animal dies and the flesh that once put form into that uncultivated creature is wasted ou the passing wind~ . The skeleton is drifted by the ticta anrl falls t o the sea b\>ttom or si nks into rivers and marshes, and are thus preserved from rapid cle.,~Ly. So in all times past have similar agencies been at work, and the remains (If animals that were borne by rivers or drifted by the waves on the muddy sea-shore are, with the progress of time, wt~,hed fn,m the eandy bottimt, and again brought to the scope of man, who f!isc<•vtlrs some fossil bone (not a freak of nature as some suppose) and we nre led irresist.ib ly to the u<Jknow ledgeme nt of its former stage. . No chemical iugnedient saves its bones from becoming rotten. But n:tture with her cool·ing waves clot.hes it, centuries pass and she t·eveals in her naked garb the wonders that o ur imagination loves to contemplate. Perh"PS in the study o f Geology nothing strikes us more fo1 cibly than the fossil bone. We are dazed and know not the 11ge of our specimen, yet can trace its origin. It does not require n.ny very great period to reduce bones to a fossil state, ye t non-Catholics endeav•1r to establish the antiquity of the human race beyond that reckoned by Moses, by taking for example the f(>ssils of cave.owellers, bnrely their !'ossil bone hus been discovered but history testifies as to the first 'knowledge of this creatul'e, and the extrn.ctwn o± their bones occurred centuries after which proves tbat t.be cave-dwellet• existed m.10y Years nfter the time of !\-loses. Stalactites depend from the roof of cavems in limestone regions, and 1ue forme• f by deposition from water charged with earbonate of lime in solution . To see the common dripping flown of water from crevices in a rock is an ordinary scene, and appareutly would not attract our slig htest attention. But. in certain places these drippings produce calcareous mounds called stalagmites. With this action of the water which evaporates, and deposits its limestone, curious imd grotesque figures have btlen formerl which the artist D·ight envy. When we look at tbie figure we become str unk with adm iration and wonrler anri probably there is nothing that gives .us a more pleasing sensation. Mr. Addison speaking of Nature and Art says: "We )lave before obstlrved that there is generally in n11.ture something more grand and august th1>.11 wh;tt we meet with

in the curiosities ef art. When we ther.ef•>re see this imitated in any me ~sure it gives us a nobler and more· exalted kind of pleasure th~>n what we receive from the nicer and more accurate production of art.". AnotiJer simple yet picturesque scLne is that produced by rainfall which is termed Canon. This sceue suggests a mountain in wbiCh it is situated. A p~>rSon travelling becon.es weary at. witnessing the bare hill towering to the sky, witb large 0aks around it., but in th1e center the Canon meets Iii ~ glance, and he is transformed i_nto a pnradise ofbt ·a•.tt .'. F or n gt·cat distnuce he sees on one side the ruck~ ex hibiti11g nature in all he1· m11j1;'sty and ronglmes8, and on the other behold ~ .t he smooth aud stony bauk resembling the artistic work of the scu lptor, stuctdect with · l ay~rs of hard and ~oft strata which o nly heighten tbe heavenly l"ffect. From the grandeur alone of God's work Jet us tnm to the utility of eome of o ur wonderful svecimens. Asbesto.s is made one of the most useful appliances ot hnme life. It is a fibrou.s ~uhst~ nce and can be spun or wOVPJt !ike cotton. Aneiently it was made into mi.pkins wh·ich ha,·ing acl)nmulated dirt were thrown into the fire. and in a few moments bt•ougbi out clean and white. The Greenlanders useil it t<>r lampwicks, and it a lso served i·u keeping tbe perpeLUal fire iu the temple, its comhnstibility thought to renrier it sacred. It is found in this cou ntry at the quar:tnt.in e New Yo~k ami is geJ.erally conceded to be of gu(Hl quality . The Crystal line quartz is not only nseful hut omament.t~l.

THE AGASSIZ ENTERTAINMENT. A scientifit.: entertainment by t.be Agassiz Association was lately given in the reading hall. Iuvitat.ions luui been ser.t to the friends of t.he Association and these with the faculty of the College, made np the audience, Since the orgamzntion wa.s founded a rcmark!tble energy has beeu dispby ed by the members to advance the society and place it in front rank of like associations which exist tbrouglJOut tlw country. All bave workefl in harmony and SLH·ccss hns crowned their eftort.s. The suwll C<'llec_tion which before filled but a small space in the College museum has been much enlargerl and is .sti'll r11pidly increasing, But a still greater benefit is noticeable, that of increased interest in the stl!dy of the sciences. This lrtst effect was obs.;rved in tbe ~ssrtys whieh were read at their entertainment. Each writer S<?'e med to ' understand bis su hject thoroughly. This first appeara11ee of the association was anxiously await, d by the public as the organiZ\ltion llas created quite a stir in the Uoliege <·ircles. The entertainment was ·held in the Society Hall at eight o'cloek Sunr:lay ev•ening:. The ball bad bee11 profu~ e ly decorated with flags and bunting and presented - quite a bea utiful appearance. The program hud been carefully atTP.nged a.ud each number was etljuyecl by the audience. Tbe eutertainmeut t•pened with an overture hy the orchestra; following which was an address by Rev. J , J. Beucler, C. S. V. His remr.rks were short but to the poiut and proved a fitting introduction to the literary exercises which followed. The next number was a fine rluet by Prof. Bourget and W. J. M<:Hugb, which was well renrlererl. 'Vonrle1·s of Geology w:Ls the ti tle of an essay read by James ,J, Condon. Mr. Condon is ,a composer of no mean ability and an earnest reader. the combination of which qualities mati.e him the star of the e vening. Hugb A. 0' Donnell tbeu followed with an essay on corals. This also was a creditahle performance. Another seler,tion by the orchestra and tbea an inbermission , The secon<l pan of the entertainment was a violin solo, by Mr. Martineau. This gentleman indeerl proved agreeable. His select.ious are of the highest musica I g:rade and tt)eit·, rendi·tion most pleaEant.

Ml'. D : J. Flaviu who ha!> al-ways ranked among the first of our writers, here tr.e ated in a masterly manner, the " Wonrl(•rs of Natural His.tory." A ffute solu, Mr. F. J ..

Dandurand, pt·oved quite en~ertai.ni·ng. A. F. Didiet• then read an ess!l.y on the 'c entipede and Tarantula. 'He seemed conversant with his subject and his effort was creditable. Stereopticon views were nex t given to the 1tudience and ":ere immensely enjoyed. The views possess a rare artistic excellency. They wei·e furnislwd to tlile Associ~tiou by the tinu of J. B. Colt & Co., 16 Beekman St., N. Y. To any person thinking of purc:.asing view5 we co.n think of no better p!ace ot securing them than from this tirm . Rt::v. M. J . Marsile then closed the entert:.~ .inmetot with a few rem:ll'ks in ·which he congmtulated the us:.ocintion on the pr<•grl'ss they have mad·e and urged them to continue in their praisewot thy. unclertakiug. 'l'he entertainment on the whole was vet·y much enjoyed and was ldghly creditable to the society giving it. Th~ .JouRNAL extends c0ngratulations to the Agassiz Association for what they have already aceom- · plisbed nud wishes them all the success possible ,t or tbe future.

On Tuesrlay the Stit inst., St. Thomns' S"ciet.y ht'ld a special meeting for the election of offic~rl'. The fol.Iowil'\g were chosen: viz, Mod ., Rev. FL 'Laberge D, D., Pres., Mr. Solon; Vice Pres., Bro. Be ucler; Rec. Sec. Mrl Furmnn;Cor. Sec., .Mr. Crawley; Treas., Bl'(l. :\leehan; CHnsor, l\1r. McDevitt. At tbe clo~e; an improi1J1Jl.-u exercise, which proved very instructive ttl)d iutt::rfsLiJJg, took place.

- A tender sl'irit ofcompn.sRion to :d! inferiors, Lot only may be but should be 11uurisljed and developed in early life. \\' e are usually lover~ of domestic animals, but, a seBse of power over t.hem, will lead us to ~yranny, unless it be guided to nol!ler channels. Who, has not seeH the IH•y call his dog,-his most faithful friend- in tbe g(~ ntle~t manner, only to 8trike aud torture the poor brute, when coming at his bidd iug- ?

We see the faithful auimal liek the cruel lnnd tli:1t ~truck him, we<ee him, witb his honest brown eyes, meet the gaze of his master, as if saying, what hav e 1 done to deserve such treatm ent? I come at yu u r cal. and go at your com manti ; can I be more obed ieJJ t.?

Still not the ·least pang of remorse is felt .

Therefore, we should be taugbt, to respect life, uud l:lappiness in its humblest form; we should be taught to avoic! giving a single needless l•uin; w~ should be taught to find pleasu·re in observing the characteristics, and, in studying ·the habits of animals iustead of want011ly iu fiicting torture or de~<th. Thus· accustomed {o use power, for goocl, and not for evil; tort-joice,in hnp1•illess and not in misery; we srall be tenrl.e rhearted, and piteous to· all who need aiel, or claim our compa,ssioll' .
