PATRICK. THILADELPIITA. Soeclal Disvatch in The Tribunt, PritapsLeitia, Pa, March 18,—Thers is much excitement among the Irish citizens of Philadelphia, In view of an incllent of the St. Patrick’s-Day parade. ftls well known that the Anclent Order of Iibernlans, which has been in some partsof this State amere synonym for the blood-thirsty Mollle Magutres, has been denounced by tha Roman Catholie suthorities, and afllliation with it forbidden under penalty of the cxtremo displeasure of the Church. 1t fs not claimed that the Lranches of the Order In this city had any gullty knowledge of the erimes of tho Mollle Maguires, but the ban provouncel agalnst It has never beenremoved. Thero twas surprise, there- fore, when the Order turned out in great foree to-day as a part of the regular 8t. Patrick’s Day procession with the other eoclotics. This one, numbering over 1,000, passed the Cathedral and Archicplscopal residence for review by the Archbishop. Archblshop Wood, slthough in delfcate bealth, appeared and remalned while the Total Abatinenve nnd Benevolent Socleties, ond kindred organizations of one sort and an- otier under protection of the Church, passed by, but, when the Hibernlans came along, he deliberately turned his back upon them, and went into the house. Another mo- ment, and thero was not a clergyman to be scen, and tho Hibernlavs, who were about B30 {1t number, marched by unrecognizod. Not- withstanding this rebuke, many of them, in- cluding most of the murshals and alds, heid off thelr hats ip passing, but not 8 face was up- turned to the Archbishop's liouse. The Order had sympathizers amongsthe spectators, howey- er, and hundreds of applatiding hands kent the alr in o din until the Inst rank of the Anclent Order of Hibernlans had passend the Cathedral, The rebuke was so marked that evervbody obeerved it, and none more thhn tho mortitied 1iibernlans, and ft s the talk’ of the city to-night, In justifieation of the Archbishop it 18 recalled that, in December, 1875, e formally excommunieated the Anclent Order of Iliber- nians {n a clrcular, from which the followlng plain language is taken: As wo know from the most relinble sonrces, and, Indced, of our own personal knowledge, that most Insidlons offorte . havo bees mado, and ate being made, in many parts of our dioceac, and probubiy throughout the wholo countey, to blind 'and de- colve tho falthful, and toentangle them into the moshes and shackies of theso unlawful and forbldden suciatles, it becomes our duty to call to the minds of our’peonlo the action of the Church In this matter, towarn them from any alllance with thewm, an nlrnolllr to exhort all who iy have violated this prohibition of the Chuech to leave thoso ovil anso- ciatlons, and, by a speedy and sincera penance, »eck reconcllistion with the Church, _To say noth- Ingabout tho Masone, Odd-Fellows, Bons of Tem- porance, ete,, about whose condemnation no doubt can oxist, theso socletios aro known ss tho Natlonal Trotherhood, lately cundemned by the JHshops of Ireland. tho Fenlan Brotherhood, whoeo eflorts to aggregato numbers to their oesociation in this clty sra unscrupulons and uuceasing, and the Aoilla Magurres, otherwise tho Anctent Urder of Hibernlans, or tho Buckshots, and varfous others whoso spirit is equally ob- Jectlonable, and whose names scem to be solectod rather to conceal than lo indicato the objact of tholr association. \Wa admonish all our roverend derfy affectionately to fnstrnct and warn their Hucks, calling to their minds the spirit of docility and ouedience which mhould anlmate them, ai holy alacrity with which they should labor conform themsolves In sl things to commands and doslres of tho Church, and to avold with thegmont scrupulous caro all that she disapproves and condemns: to place beforo them on the one hand tho rowards and blessings whicn witl follocy such a courss, and, on the other hand, the true character of extrome ccclenfastical con- suro wiilch a contrary mode of action will precipi- tato upon them.
