1b NEW YORK HERALD, SUNDAY, MARCH ‘14, 1875—QUADKUPLE SHEET. ST. PATRICK'S DAY. Incidents in the Life cf Ire- land's Apostle. PROGRAMME OP alae CELEBRATION, “St. Patrick’s Day in the, Morning” will be the tune on next Wednesuay at dawn that every true Irsbman will recognize as something that awakens his sense of patriotism, and reminds tim of the land of bis birth, It is a curious psycdologi- cal phenomenon that a memory 80 remote, 80 in- vested in mystical hist ry, soould hold so great an influence on an entire race of people, It is not so very bard toexplain this marvel, The Irish were muense in their convictions. They accepted the doctrines of this extraordinary missionary, who employed no adventitious aids to spread the Gospel of Christ. He bad no missionary society behind him, with an immense capital and half a dozen presses printing tracts ‘for the uncon- | verted.” Patrick, im the best lights that buve been given us, trom e CATHOLIC AND PROTESTANT SOURCES, landed fearlessly on the wild coast of Antrim, Tois was @ brave, uuseiish man, with a great, bigh purpose to bring to the standard of the Divine Master, 1n whose service he prociatmed himself a champion, so utterly misunderstood by tbe modern World, that to many not weil read in ecclesiastical history he is sowetimes foolishly Saiked of a3 a mere myth. ST. PATRICK’S ENERGY St. Patrick had the tremendous native energy that multitudes of people in periods of excitement readily acknowiedge. The mark he made upon bis time iljustrates the uncommon force of char+ acter he possessed. He addre=sed timself to the duty of rescuing a Semi-barbarous nation alien- ated from Christianity into the full idea of the doctrines formed from the action and language of the man culled Jesus, who died on Calvary as an expiator for the sins of all mankind. | His wonderfully earnest stories of Christ dying for the sins of men svftened the heart | of these heathen Iri They were bavurally hos- | pitabie and generous, ” Tis apostie became popu- lar, and throughout Ireland bis name was a by- Word, indicating great love oi Uumauity and an | interest 10 his species that was never previously | snown by any otuer missionary.

The yearly mncrease 18 believed by those competent fo yuuge to lie between three and sour per cent per annuum. In the decade ending with 1870 that is, census to cens yearly growth was in reality a livtie more than four per ceutam; but, imasmach gs some of the years during that period Were marked by unusual accessions, it is not Proper to assume so high a ratio ef increase since 1870, To avoid all charge of over-estimaton the aupoal rate of growtl is piaced at avout three per centum, and irom that we obtain 450.000 as toe population of 1 Those interested in the suo. ject will soon have an opportanity to verily his esumate by @ comparison With (le census to ne made by the State anthorivies during the present year.

So thoroughly has public opinion been aroused in Newark and throughout New Jersey by the HEKALD exposures that the city autborities have at length deemed tt prudent to look into the subject of criminal negligence of life ana limb on the part of tne various steam railroad companies | running through the corporate timits of Newark. First the County Physician was driven into holding | an inquest op the body of Jobn Joseph Camp, who was slaughtered last week at the Commerce crossing, and now the entire local press and the city parents are considering the mat ‘The jury in the case of Mr. Camp passed resolutions declaring the criminal negligence of the railroad companies only equailed vy the criminai apathy of the city authorities. This has moved one journal to go into the subject strongiy, and 1t deciares the matter one of NATIONAL IMPORTANCE, inasmuch as Whole trainsiuil of people are mo- mentarily endangered every day as weil as local residents, Jt adds that the matter is the very first one of local improvement. Coroner Osborne, as instructed by the Camp jury, submitted to the Council the resolutions, and urged it to give the matter careful consideration, “to the end that valuable lives may not be sacrificed from the neglect of wise precautions.” A special committee of three—Aldermen Hudson, Baldwin and Vanderveer—was chosen to take advisory action on the whuie suviect.
