4 BISHOP FOLEY FUNERAL Celebration of Pontifical High Mass Over His Remains. BALTIMORE CATHEDRAL CROWDED | Imposing Gathering of Bish- ops, Priests and Laity. A BEAUTIFUL CEREMONY. Archbishop Gibbons Delivers an Affectionate Oration. LIKENED UNTO SAMUEL. A Boy’s Desire—“Mother,-I Want To Be a Priest.” ou Be EGRAPH TO THE HERALD.) Bautimone, Feb, 24, 1879. Although in obedience to the wixhes of the family of the late Bishop Thomas Foley there was no attempt at display in the funeral ceremonies, yet the obsequies were deeply imposing, and the illustrious ‘prelate was followed to the tomb by a gathering dis- tinguished by the presence of large numbers of dig- nitaries high in ecclesiustical rank and an immense coucourse of the faithful of this archdiocese and others throughout the United States. Long before the time appointed for viewing the remains in the Cathedral crowds of people Lined the sidewalks along Mulberry street, from the Cathedral to Park avenue, waiting for the main eutrance of the Cathedral to be opened. At nine o’clock the Right Rev. Bishop Kain, of Wheeling, W. Va., assisted by Rey. Edward Brennan, of Cumberland; Rev. Peter McCoy, of St. Mury Star of the Sea; Rev. Charles J. Judge, of St. Charles Colle; the Very Rev. J. Mullin, V General of the diocese of Chicago, and twenty stu- dunts of St. Mary’s Theological Seminary recited a portion of the funeral service over the remains of Bishop Foley at the residence of his mother, Mrs. Matthew Foley, on Mulberry street. The cashet was then closed and borne in procession by the students of St. Mary’s Seminary, along Mulberry street to the Cathedral, thence through the main en- trance to the catatalque erected near the sanctuary. As the procession wended its way along the centre aisle Bishop Kain recited the psalm, ‘‘Miscrere, mei Deus, secundam magnum misericordiam Tuam,”’ and the responses were g@ven by the clergy and seminarians. One hundred members of the Young Catholics’ Friend Society, under the supervision of Messrs, B. E, Smith, Pierre ©. Dugan and Edwin F. Johnson, acted as an escort to the remains and were stationed in and around the Cathedral. 4 LAST GLIMPSE OF THE DEAD. After the relatives had looked once moreon the features of the prelate, which were quite natural, the doors at the main entrance were thrown open and the multitude entered. ‘The people were directed to proceed up the aisle two by two and after looking at the face of the illustrious dead to defile, one column to the right and the other to the left, amd leave the Ca- thedral by the two side entrances. A steady stream of men, womer and children advanced from [py TE that time until tho celebration of the pontifical high mass nain commenced. The doors of the entrance were closed at half-past ten and hundreds of people were obliged to re- their steps without obtaining a last look at the deceased, The prelates, clergy and seminarians who were assembled in the archiepiscopal mansion then entered the Cathedral by the rear entrance, and, after surveying for the last ttme the face of their brother ecclesiastic, took the places assigned them within the sanctuary and along the side aisles. Twenty-cight pews were reserved in the centre aisle for the rela- tives of Bishop Foley, the Sisters of the Good Shepherd and the delegation of laymen that accom- panied the remains from Chicago. Every available foot of space in the peWws, in the aisles and in the galleries was occupied and hundreds were unable to gain admission. Among this thrang assembled within the walls of the Cathedral were prelates, priests of the regular and secular orders, Sisters of Charity, Sisters of Mercy and from the ordinary walks of life, merchants, mechanics, and, citizens generally. Dur- ing the services that followed the casket containing the remains was uncovered and the eatfalque was surrounded by lights, which threw a soft and mellow tint over the body, which was vested in purple chasuble, with the mitre, crozier and other episcopal insignia by its side.

Austin Jenkins, ARCHBISHOP GIBBONS’ ORATION. At the conclusion of the mass Archbishop Gibbons ascended the pulpit and took for his text the first chapter of the First Book of Samuel, twentieth to twenty-vighth verse, inclusive, which give an account of the birth of the /rophet Samuel, his early life, his teachings by Anna, his mother, and his final consecra- tion to the Lord.. After reading the verses referred to, Archbishop Gibbons spoke in substance as fol- lows:— Like Samuel, Thomas Foley was blessed with a su- perior mother, and it was her early teachings that moulded his future career of usefulness in the Church of God. The same potent influence exercised by Anna im shaping the destinies of the great and illus- trious Prophet Samuel were also exercised by the ven- erable mother of Thomas Foley. Had Anna kept her son to herself his name would have been blotted out and would never have appeared in the writings of sacred history, and perhaps would have been blotted out from the Book of Life. The honor of the son is Teflected on the mother and the names of Samuel and Anna are forever inseparable. Many circum- stances in the early life of Thomas Foley were simi” lar to that of the illustrious prophet. From earliest infancy he was dedicated to God and His Holy Church. It was only a few days, continued the Archbishop, that his stricken venerable mother told me that one of the first sentences she ever heard him utter after he was capable of putting words together and comprchemded the meaning of those words was, “Mother, I want to be a priest;” and we may well imagine, we who know her, how well that spirit of piety and desire for that divine vocation was nurtured under the guidance of such a mother. BRIEF HISTORY OF THE DECEASED. At the age of ten years he was sont to St. Mary’s Seminary, in Baltimore, then one of the most flourishing and far-famed colleges in the country. There he studied and graduated with great distinction to himself and satisfaction to his professors. He was then transferred from St. Mary’s Secular College to St. Mary’s Ecclesiastical Seminary, ard at the end of his studies was ordained a priest in the Cathedral in 1%6. Among the seminarians present on that occasion the only two who now sur- vive are Bishop Wadhams, of Ogdensburg, and Rev. B. J. McManus, of St. John’s Church, Baltimore. ‘They were present on the happy occasion when their young friend was ordained a priest, and to-day they have the melancholy consolation of partici- pating in hie fuveral. After his ordination he was sent as @ missionary to Montgomery county, Md., and to-day his name is held in benediction by those who survive him there. The Arch- bishop then recounted the services of the deceased, from the time of his relinquish- ing the mission in Montgomery down to his Bishopric in Chicago, including his many years duty as Chancellor of the Diocese of Baltimore. It was, he said, almost impossible to give an account of the works of Father Foley while Chancellor of this diocese; but, thanks to God, it was not necessary in the presence of such a congregation, for his neme was deeply engraven in the hearts of all present. Otherwise he would speak of his eminent talents, sound judgment, excellent common sense, ad- mirable financial and executive ability, ready and persuasive eloquence, indomitable zeal, and, notwithstanding his arduous duties as Chancellor, of his faithful attendance at the confessional day after day; of his sympathy, which prompted him to rejoice with those who rejoiced and to sorrow with those who sorrowed; his benevolence, his genial temper and his gravity of deportment. The Archbishop then spoke of the last illness of the dis- tinguished preiate and the anxiety which the people of Baltimore displayed to hear the latest tidings of his condition. This feeling, he said, was so general among all classes of citizens, without regard to re- ligion, that the daily papers were prompted to give noonday bulletins giving his condition, A GLOWING PANEGYRIC. He bad laid down his mitre and crozier with clean hands, and taken up the crown of glory and palin of victory, and may God in His infinite mercy reward His servant, who, like Samuel, has served him all the days of his life. May he hear the blessed words, “Well done, good and faithful servant; enter thou into the joys of thy Lord.”’ Here he was ordained, here he was consecrated, and here he wished his re- mains to be forever. Of him Bishop Spalding had said, when he was sent to Chicago, that it was like cutting off his right arm to lose Father Foley. Ue himself did not want to leave Baltimore, but at Chicago Me was the right man in the right place, He hada firm hold on the clergy of his diocese, whom he governed, not by foar, but by love; not so much by precept as by ex ample, Under hit bishopric an impetus was given to religion, churches, hospitals and asylums arose on all sides, until to-day the Diocese of Chicago is one of the most important in the West, numbering, as it does, two hundred priests, nearly two hundred churches and upward of two hundred and thirty thonsand laymen. ‘A LOVING #ON, Without intruding upon the sanctity of the family circle, he could say that a more affectionate, a more loving family to one another tham that of which the good Bishop was always the centrepiece he never knew. During Bishop Foley's twenty years of sa- cerdotal life in this city, notwithstanding the labors of the day, scarcely a night passed that he did not attend the family reunion at his mother's house. When leaving after these visits he would give his mother an affectionate embrace and bid her as loving a goodby as if he were on the point of starting on @ long journey. After he went to Chicago every week his dear, affectionate mother would receive a letter full of filial love and piety. The Bishop was not in the habit of taking any vacation, unless indeed the short visits he paid his mother could be so termed, One of these visits he ma few weeks ago. Alas! it was his last. He had but seven days to spendin Baltimore, and he went to the cemetery to visit the graves of his father apa sisters, There he con- tracted a cold, and, though suffering from the effects thereof, he insisted on returning to Chicago, where some missionary work awaited him. A MARTYR TO CHURCH AND FAMILY, O may it not be said that our departed friend died a martyr to the two great passions of his life— his sincere love of his family and the love of those sacred things which his sacred calling conferred upon him, The Archbishop then referred to the feelings of his own heart, and said that the death of Bishop Foley was an irreparable lows to him, In- deed, his heart had been filled with anguish at his de mnige, They had always been the warmest of friends— a friendship that increased with yoars and grew with their growth. In conclusion he said:—Grant, O Lord! perfect rest to the soul of Thy servant. May it return to whence it came, where there is no sorrow, no mourning or separation or death, but everlasting joy and peace.” The absolution and benediction were then given, after which the remains were borne to the hearse | and the solemn cortége moved to Bonnie Brae Cemetery, the great bell of the Cathedral tolling the while, EX-MAYOR WESTERVELT’S FUNERAL. THE SERVICES AT THE LATE RESIDENCE OF THE DECEASED AND THE SOUTH REFORMED CHURCH, The rem: of the late ex-Mayor of New York city, Dock Commissioner Jacob A, Westervelt, lay yesterday morning in a black cloth covered casket in the parlor of his own house, where he died on Fri- day last. A maasive silver plate on the casket was inscribed with his name and age and the date of his death, and a wreath of immortelles, with the word “Father” in violets, lay over the dead man's breast. At an early hour, the family and intimate friends only being present, a brief. religious service was conducted by Rev. Dr. E. P. Rogers, pastor of the South Reformed Church, on Fifth avenue, at Twenty- first atreet, and Rev, Dr, Gallandet, rector of St. Aun’s Church, on West Eighteenth street. At the conclusion of these services the body was borne in slow procession to the South Reformed Church, where the public funeral was to take place. In the meantime the church was being filled by those who were drawn thither by the announcement of the funeral, and as early as half-past nine o'clock there was scarcely a vacant seat in the edifice. Among those who thus came to pay their last tribute of respect to an old friend were yery many ladies who had known Mr. Westerveltin his youth and who had grown old in New York with him, tog the gentlemen were Mayor Cooper and ex-Mayor Wick- ham, ex-Governor Hoffn , Commissioners Wood, Perley, Gorman and Dunlap, ex-Dock Commissioner Agnew and Dock Commissioners Vanderpoel and Dimock and about two hundred employés of their department, Mr. Samuel Conover, Mr. J, Nelson Tappan, Mr. Henry Bergh, Mr. Stephens and Signor Susini, About half-past ten o'clock the procession arrived at the church, and the casket was borne in by the following gentlemen, who were pallbearers :—Messrs. George Rickard, Salem H, Wales, Alexander M. Lawrence, John H. Abeel, H. T. Dimock, Edward Hincken, William -H. Webb and Jolin Gray, They were met at the door by the two clergymen; and, while the organ was softly played, the remains were borne up the main aisle. It had been requested that there should be no floral display, and accordingly there was hardly any. A large ivy cross, a basket of flowers and a sheat of wheat, how- ever, stood on the communion table. After the coffin was placed at the head of the aisle Dr. Gal- laudet read the service for the dead, and the choir sang ‘Nearer, my God, to Thee.” Dr. Rogers then delivered a brief but impressive fu- neral sermon, choosing for his text the verse, “A good name is rather to be desired than great riches."” It was peculiarly appro- priate, he said, to be quoted in speaking of Me West- ervelt, whose name was pre-eminently @ good name. He had been for many years connected with the Church and was known as an eminently dpe and consistent Christian. His record as a public official in the many positions of trust and responsibility held by him, and in his long career as a business man, was a spotless one, and as such was priceless her- itage for his children, who could transmit the mem- ory of it to future generations with a just pride, He was a man who had never sought office, but office had sought him. Upright and respected in every relation, he had been a successful man in worldly matters, pros- ering in all that he undertook, but he had never forgotten the poor, and had been to many a benefac- tor whom they would remember with gratitude while they sorrowed for his loi Dr. Rogers then read a brief sketch of Mr. Westervelt’s life, speaking of his career a: ipbuilder and of his record as Councilman, or and Dock Commissioner, in each of which offices he had been known as an incor- ruptible and faithful servant of the people. ‘he services were then closed by the singing of an anthem, and the remains were borne to Grecnwood for burial, being followed by a long procession of cement: containing the relatives and triends of the family. OBSEQUIES OF DR. HAIGHT. The obsequies of the late Rev. Dr. Benjamin I. Haight, who died at his residence on the 21st inst., were solemnized with more than usual impressive- ness in Trinity Church yesterday afternoon. Rev. Dr. Morgan Dix read the lesson according to the ser- vice of the Episcopal Church, while the choir sat the usual sacred melodics as the body was brought in. The pallbearers were Rev. Dr. Potter. of Grace Church; Dr. Swope, of Trinity Chapel; Dr. Mulcahey, of St. Paul's: Dr, Weston, of St, John’s; Dr. Wyatt, of St. Peter Westchester; Dr. Thwing, of the Bible House; D1 Morgan, of the Ohureh of the Transfiguratio: Among the clergymen prcernt were all the junior clergy of the parish, besides Rev. Dr. Kleek, of Long Island; Dr. rrison, of Troy; Dr. John Cotton Smith, of the Chureh of the Ascension, and Rev. Mr. Richmond, of Orange, N. J. The vestry of the Trinity corporation was repre- sented by General John A. Dix, Gouverneur M. Ogden, John J. Cisco, Nicholas F. Palmer, John J. Astor, Stephen P, Nash, Allan Campbell,. Daniel H, Arnold, Cornelius V. B, Ostrander, Henri M. Braem, Henry Drisler, Charles H. Coutoit, John H. Caswell, Richard F. Auchmuty, George W. Dregress, Samuel V. Hoffman and Thomas Egleston. The remains were taken to Hyde Park for interment. THE LECTURE SEASON. ‘THE IRISHMAN IN AMERICA”—LECTURE BY JAMES J, O'DONNELL. Mr. James J. O'Donnell lectured on “The Irishman in American Politics’ in the Brooklyn Athenmum, last evening, under the auspices of the Irish socie- ties of Kings county. The chair was occupied by Colonei Thomas Carroll, The lecturer said that up to the Revolution one-third of all the inhabitants of this country were of Irish birth or of direct Irish descent. ‘One-third of Washington's officers ‘and one-third of the rank and file of his army, as well as one-fifth of the signers of the Declaration of Inde- pendence, were Irishmen or sons of Irishmen. In the late rebellion tens of thousands of Irclaud’s sons wave their: lives for the country that gave them a home. Were the man who was so justly censured by the people of Cork, the man who is prostituting our republican institu- tions at the courts of Europe, were Ulysses 8. Grant to call the muster roll of the men whom he slaugh- tered on his bloody course from the Wilder- ness to the Appomatox Court House he would find that one-third of the number were Irishmen or the sons of Irishmen. In a few days hence we will have for the first time in twenty years a Congress representing the whole American people. If that Congress does its duty it will treat Rutherford B. Hayes as the Fortieth Congress treated Andrew Johnson. If they have the slight- est spark of American patriotism they will test his claims by the constitution and if they find his claims invalid they will turn him out, “The sentiments which filled the of the Irish signers of the Declaration of Independence shall never die as long as there is an American ci zen who is willing to quality his citizenship by ad- mitting that he is an Irishman, on enthusiastic Irishman, an aggressive Irishman in American poli- tice. “SOJOURNER TRUTH.” Sojourner Truth, the colored centenarian, preached tow large audience of colored people in the Colored e's Church, corner of Thirty-fifth street and Sixth avenue, last evening. The old lady appeared very active, and among other things eaid that the Lord was surely talking to His people, referring to the telephone, world dis i for example. “O, what a wicked she said, “de people am wise in wicked- ignorant in religion. It wants a scourin’, LEVY'S MONEY MATTERS. Mr. Levy, the cornetist, underwent further exam- ination before Referee Ridgeway in Brooklyn yester- day in the supplementary proceedings brought by his business manager, George Ryer, to recover $248 commission. A judgment for that amount, it will be remembered, was returned by the Sheriff unsatis- fied. ‘the defendant was suffering trom @ severe cold, He said that he had received $150 this month for two performances in this city. He had made an en- ment for next month with Hathaway & Pond, and received about $600, This was used to pay a debt to Major Pond. Next summer he was to receive $450 a week for an engagement at Manhattan Keach. In answer to questions, Mr. Levy said:—"1 have no piano at home; I have one cornet; my wife pays the servants with money whieh I give her; she owns my diamond collar button.” “Does she own the eyeglass you wear?” counsel inquired; but the question was ruled out and an ex- ception taken, itness proceeded:—"I can't approximate to the amount of my debts; I made about $300 in January to my wife; she is the best woman in L give her every cog! Tearn; I gave her everything I made at Brighton Beach last summer, except what I spent myself; she pays for all that comes in the house." Mr. Levy's testimony came to an ond with tho cross-examination, after which further hearing was adjourned to March 10, when his wife will be examined, TITLES OF NOBILITY. Tho Rev. Dr. Chapin's promised lecture on titles of nobility is to take place to-night in the Church ot the Messiah, The novelty of the subject has made the forthcoming lecture the theme of conversation in many quarters, and 4 desire to hear the eloquent divine’s discourse promises to attract a iavyge audience, THE PALACE CAR ANGELL. HE IS SENT TO CHICAGO IN CUSTODY, AFTER 4 GREAT DEAL OF UNNECESSARY LEGAL RED TAPE IN THE PHILADELPHIA COURTS—FOOL- ISH ENDEAVORS TO KEEP HIS MOVEMENTS SECRET, PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 24, 1879. When Charles W. Angell stepped ashore at Phila- delphia at quarter-past one o’clock this morning, as I telegraphed the HeRa.p at the time, he was burried off through the dark streets at the water side to an obscure hotel. A FOOLIGH OFFICIAL, Superintendent Goodman, of the Philadelphia office of the Pullman Palace Car Company, has apparently made every effort to conceal all the movements of the defaulting secretary since the Shooting Star arrived, and has been conspicuously and laughably unsuccessful in every case. In the present in- stance Mr. Goodman was traced to his residence by an unnecessarily useless route, Detective Frank and his distinguished prisoner, by similar ways that were dark, proceeded to it Philadelphia and lodged for the remainder of the night at a small hotel opposite the Pennsylvania Railroad Depot. THE Law's DELAYS, All the local newspapers except one were misled into saying that the prisoner wae to be taken at once to Chicago. Consequently, when at five minutes past ten o'clock this morning, the embezzler, accom- panied by Messrs. Frank and Goodman, walked quietly into Common Pleas Court, room No, 1, there was no one present but the usual number of lawyers, witnesses and jurors having business before that judicial tribunal. Angell was anxious to be taken West at once, without legal formality or delay; but, as stated in these columns to-day, a bill was passed by the last Legislature (act of May 24, 1875), forbidding, under heavy pypeites: the removal of a prisoner ina case like the present, no matter how willing and anxious he is to go, until the Sheriff has brought him into court. The act is pronounced to bean absurdity by all good lawyers, and is a big “strike” by the Sheriff's officers to increase their fees. Last evening, in accordance with this law, a sheriff’s deputy was waiting for Angell, with a war- rant from Governor Hoyt, based on a requisition from Governor Cullom, of Mlinois. This morning early Deputy Sheriff Lennon went to Angell's hotel, Footie him with the warrant and escorted him to the court, ANGELL’S FIRST APPEARANCE IN COURT. Ten minutes after the arrival of the party Judge Allison entered the court room, and as he ‘took his seat the deputy sheriff handed ‘in the warrant, with the following return on the back :— To the Hon, Josern ALLson, President Judge of the Court f Plens No. t for'the County of Philadelphis:-+ fy and return that I hi ken the body of Charles W. Angell, and have him now Honor, as within I wm required by the act of q 4 made and pravided So answers. (CHARD J, LENNON, Deputy Sheriff, Wiiuiam H. Waigut, Sheriff, Mr. Kneuss, as counsel for the Pullman Com; addressing the Court, said that he desired to application in the case of Charies W. Angell, and handed His Honor a copy of the act known as “the Sheriff's divvy,’’ described above. He also handed the Judge the’ warrant from Governor Hoyt, based upon Mr, Cullom’s requisition. It reads as fol- lows:— To Witsaam H, Eng. High Sherif of Philadelphia city and county, or any other officer authorized by law to exocute warrants :— Whereas it has been represented to me by His Excellency the Governor of the State of IHinois that a certain Charles W. Angell stands charged with tho cri in the county of Cook, in said State, and that led from justice in that State snd taken refuge in of Pennsylvania, and the said Governor hu in pursuance of the constitution and laws of tho United States, demanded of me that I shull cange the said Charles W.

Mr. Kneass, addressing Judge Allison, said that a requisition had been placed in the Sheriff's hands tor the arrest of Angell, who was present in court with Whitney Frank, # London detective, represont- ing the State of Illinois, and, under the provisions of the act, counsel was ready to make proof of the identity of the prisoner as the person named in the warrant of Governor Hoyt. ‘The prisoner, being informed of his rights under the act, said that he did not desire a writ of habeas corpus. admits his identity,” said Mr. Kneass, and Mr. Angell bowed assent. Judge Allison said that proof was required notwithstanding, and caused Captain Frank, the detective, to be sworn, He declared the prisoner to be the Charles ngell wanted for the crime charged. ‘here is no contest of the charge?” Judge of Angell. “None whatever,” anewered the prisoner, a saat you are the person named in the requisi- ion?” “Iam,” said Angell, bowing. Judge Allison then signed the following order:— And now, February 24, 1879, proof of the idencity of the within named C! W. Angell hi been made, andthe said Charles W. Angell having admitted that he is the j oraon named in the within warrant, I hereby order and direc: the inquired the Shi { Philadelphia to doliver the body of the sid Charles W.

Captain Frank having signed a receipt, as agent for the State of Illinois, for the body of Charles W. Angell trom Sheriff Wright, the party left the court ruom. The prisoner was at once taken by the London officer to the Pennsylvania Railroad Depot, and, ac- companied by the latter's brother, Mr. ¥. W. Angell, they departed for Chicago at noon, A BIG PRIZE, The trunk which was taken ashore with Angell from the Shooting Star, when she anchored at the Breakwater, contained, it is said, $90,000 in bonds, the plunder restored by the prisoner to the company. These valuables were sent by express to the vice president of the company in New York, whore, it is said, they arrived yesterday, ‘The securities consist of bonds of the city of Chicago, of the United States and of the Chicago and Alton Railroad, together with a few Bank of England notes, some English sovereigns and about $5,000 in United States currency. BOYTON AFLOAT AGAIN, HE COMMENCES HIS TRIP TO THE GULF-—A SWIM OF TWO THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED MILES—STARTING BETWEEN DANGEROUS BLOCKS OF ICE. [BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD.] Rocuester, Pa., Feb. 24, 1879. For the past few days the city has warmly dis_ cussed the proposed voyage of Captain Paul Boyton from Pittsburg to the Gulf of Mexico. Early this morning thousands gathered on the banks of tho Allegheny River, in front of the Robinson House, to see the intrepid voyager enter the water. Opinions were expressed that even the Captain’s iron nerve would shrink from the sight presented in the river, as cake after cake heavy shore ice went whirling past in the swift current, As eight o'ciock, the time for the start. drew nigh and no ‘signs of Captain Boyton wers seen it became evident to the waiting crowd that there was something wrong, and they began to shout vigorously. The cause of the delay was that when the Captain rose at six o’clock he found that he was suffering from want of sleep. Boyton deprived him. self of rest last be ar by lecturing in Allegheny City for the benefit of the poor, ana the loss of ‘sleep, coupled with the ameunt of brain work he has been doing lately, brought on 4 severe attack of vomiting. Then the usual breakfast of toust and cage ‘wus eaten and the hero of the day once more donned his rubber suit. A passage was cloured by the potice, trom the hotel to the river, through which Boyton quickly passed. NOT SANGUINE OF REACHING THR GULF. On reaching the water's he paused a moment, and, stretching his graceful form to its full height, he said to the crowd: — “T have 2,200 weary miles of water before me—the chain that binds the North to the South. I cannot promise to reach the Gulf, but I will do my best and that is as much as 1 have ever done.” Then .he shook hands with his friends, and the last one who grasped his hand was Mr: ‘Thomas MeAftrey, whom bg (4 rescued at the very spot twenty years ago.

MILL ON SOCIALISM. The Late Philosopher’s Unfinished Work on the Problem of Property. OLD PRINCIPLES TO GO ON TRIAL. Nothing To Be Tom Down Unless Some- thing Better Is To Be Built Up. Miss Helen Taylor, the stepdaughter of the late John Stuart Mill, has been induced by Mr. John Morley, the editor of the Fortnightly Review, to sur- render to him for publication the introduction and the first four chapters of a work begun by Mill on the subject of socialism. Mill, who started in his Mterary life asa utilitarian, was desirous of supple- menting his works on logic and on political econ- omy with a treatise which showld go exhaustively through the whole subject of socialism, point by point; and he was induced to this experiment by the conviction that no large impartial consideration of socialistic theories, as put forward during the last quarter of a century, had been undertaken. He had already given expression to some of his views in his chapter on the ‘Probable Future of the Work- ing Classes,"’ as published in his ‘Political Econ- omy,” but from the glimpse which Mr. Morley has provided for us, through the kindness of Miss Taylor, we believe that in the death of the philosopher we have lost the most important work of one of the most conservative thinkers of this century; for Mill, although a sentimentalist in many of the relations of private life, was never led astray in his books by en- thusiasm. Only part of his draft of the chapters is published in the last number of the Fortnightly, and it must be said that he meant to rewrite them. He starts out in his introduction with reference to the fact that manhood suffrage prevails in tle United States, in France and partially in Germany. He soys:— ‘THE NEW ENGLISH VOTING CLAsS. The last Reform act admitted within what is called the pale of the constitution so large a body of those who live on weekly wages that as soon und as often as theso shall choose to fet together as a class and exert for any common object the whole of the electoral fore which our prese.t institutions give them they will exercise, though not & complete ascendancy, & very great Iniluence on legislation, | Now, these are the class which, © vocabulary of tho higher re ‘are said to ‘e no stake in the country, Of they have in reality the greatest stake, since thot ly brend depends on its prosperity. But they aro not ed (we may call it bribed) by any poentiur intorest of their awn to the sup- port of property as itis, least of all to the support of in- equalities of property, So far as their power rexches, or inay her Teach, thelaws of property have to port upon considerations of a public nature the estimate made of their conducivenass to th welfare and not upon motives of a mere perso: operating on the minds of thoso who have control over the government. Belioving that Englishmen do not easily perceive tho tendencies of political changes, and that the e pectations which are held in regard to reform acts are not always realized, he goes on to say:— WHAT THEY WILL Do, It is known, even to the most inobservant, that the working classos have, and are likely to have, political s which concern them as working classes, and on they bollova, rightly or wrongly. that the ‘interasts and opinions of the other powerful classes are opposed to theirs. However much their pursuit of those objects may be for the present retarded by want of olectoral organiza tion, by dissonsions among theinselves or their not having reduced as yet their wishos into a sufficiently definite practical shape, it is as certain as anything {n polities can be that they will before long find the means of making their collective electoral power effectively instrumental to the promotion of thoir col- lective objects. And when they do so it will not be in the disorderly and ineffective way which belongs toa people not habituated to the use of legal and constitutional machinery, nor will it be by, the impulse of a mere instinet ‘of levelling. The instruments will be the press, public meetings and associations, and the return to Parliament of the greatest possible number of Pleded, to the political sims of the workin, he political alms will themselves be determin bby detinite political doctrines: for politics are now acien- tifically studied from the point of view of the working classes, and opinions conceived in the special interest of thone classes are organized into systems and creeds which lay claim to placo on the platform of political philoso- phy by the same right as the systoms elaborated by previous thinkers. POLITICAL GESTATION, Mill undoubtedly believed in a “renovated social fabric,” combining “the best parts of both the old and the new.” He remarks that it requires a genera- tion for the making of social changes which are not affected by physical violence, and he thought (this was in 1869) that the renovation of the social fabric must be accomplished at the end of the genegation which was beginning then, or that physical violence must ensue. He says this so calmly that one is im- mediately impressed with the weight and dignity of his prophecy, The required discussion, he urged, must go down to the very first principles of ex- isting society. Old principles must go to trial. ‘THR QUESTION OF PROPERTY PUT. The present age alone has “seriously” questioned the institution of property, the conflicts of the past having been between classes, jon includes classes who have noxt to ‘oporty of their own, and aro only interested in tho in- stitution so far as it is a public benefit, they will not allow ling to be tuken for gran ertainly uot the prin- f private property, the legitimacy and utility of nied by many of the reasoners who look ont vint of the working classes.

Mill believed that the soil of Great Britain is pre- pared for the reception of the wide general theories which are, a8 in France, Switzerland and Germany, used for popular Papers Liar! deer ‘The main point of suggestion made by him is given in this sentence :— But it is evident that whatever Ie, | (the leaders of Eng- Ush workinginen) do propose can only be properly judged «is of the judgment convincing to the on the bi us survey of the two that of private property and that of sock or other of which must necessarily furnish m © promives in the discussion, WHAT IS TO BE ASCERTAINED. Mill proposed first impartially to examine the so- ctalistic side of the question. He say: The working classes are entitled to claim that the whole field of social institutions should be re-examined and every question considered ay if it now arose for the frat tim with the idea const to be convinced ar portance to the present system, but persons ho other interest in the matter than ubstract Just the community.

Sucl privileges of property ax will not stand this test sooner or later, have to be given up. An impa ought, moreover, to be given to all objections erty itvelf. These quotations show the plan and purpose of Mill's projected work, which he lived long enough only to begin. THE PROCESS OF EXAMINATION, In the only other chapter given in the current number of the Fortnightiy he considers some of the socialistic objections to the present order oi society; and it {s noteworthy that this conservative thinker, however greatly he is impressed not only with the rights, but also with the demands of men who have no property, never loses sight of the constructive as opposed to the negative and critical side of tho problem. He seems to say, “Before you begin to tear down tell me what other and better thing you will make.” He has already heard the plaints of speculators who agree in a wish to destroy; he has even heard of remedies; but he demands details, Fights oF will, hearing nut prop- And he is willing, first of all, to cot the critical ond ative side of bar to do. cialistic agitation, which he proceeds Hero, however, ia the we sustain in the death of Mill, for it is doubtiul that the two cha ters remaini: in the desk of the editor of the Fortnightly, ond yet to appear, will have gone far enough into the subject to show what he thought will built up, or rather what the general averay will be, At least, wecan bave few of the ‘details’ which he himself demands, and must rely the suggestions in the chapters on the tuture of rin the political economy, wondering meanwhile whether he had not become more radical in doctrine, Evidently he does not have great faith in the pene- tration of common place moraliste, Here is the case a8 he Bees It:— THE SOCTALISTIC ACCUSATION. hjoct to the prosent order of society, consid: 8, and who aecopt as an alternative the por set down alt 1 o Those who ered as a wh tributable to woe ed they do not flow frot ph er Is not adequate, or hi id as thoy on of soerety wh as argument until it is shown that any other state of society would in- or greater amount of such evils.

Whereupon’ ‘Mill proceeds to view the evil of poverty, He sees the argument of the poor with little bread, of inferior oe. ‘and thet it upon capital. He sees in that the ent ia civilized countries are more wretched than the poor- est savages. It is not right, he holds, that the weaker members of society should go to the Those who have themselves to blame for being poor are said to work harder than those who have not them- selves nt aged for being rich, mpi According to present social 1, PE ces» , Bees that poverty Tine oe the result of social failures, and that ignorance is its fault and almost its crime, In making these statements of the critical side he claims to be writing loosely and in the rough, for the Sree state of society rec! rocally ds &@ backward condition of the uman mind. It is because the modern sociahst, not content with complaining up to the point where formerly the socialist topped, joes farther that Mill demands an earnest study of all criticisms, THE NEW FEUDALITY OF CAPITAL, In the present system of selfish competition the modern socialist discovers that there is to be a new feudality, that of the capitalists. So far Mill does not give his own opinion; he wishes to be con- sidered merely as @ reporter, and certainly the so- cialists could not have found among their own num- bers one who could more clearly and pithily and calmly have presented the salient points of their doctrines, He gives extracts from Louis Blanc’s “Organization du Travail," which he calls the clear- est, most compact and most specific work on the critical, economical part of the subject; follows M. Gonsidérant in behalf of the Fourierites, who de- claim against the wastefulness of labor and of the distribution of produce and of agents; and he con- cludes the part of his fragment so far given to the public with these words :— In the opinion of the Fourierists, the tendency of the present order of society is to a concentration of wealth in the hands of a comparatively fow immensely rich indi duals or companies. and the reduction of all the rest of community into a complete dependence on them. This was termed by Fourter la ite industrielle. “This feudalism,” s Vonsidéran stituted as soon us the largest. part of th territorial property of the nation belongs to a. minority which absorbs all its revenues, while the great majority, chained to the work bench or laboring on the soil, must be content to gnaw the pittance which is cast to then.” This disastrous result is to he brought about partly by the mero progress of competition, as. sketched: in our pré- vious extract by M. Louis Blane, assisted by the progress ional debts, which M.

Strahan & Co., of London. The volumes have great value as a historical work, although the Duke writes indeed avowedly as a liberal and as an assailant of the policy of the Ministry. But his work is not a mere party pamphlet; it is the fullest record in a convenient form that has yet been given of the events that have transpired since 1856, and the story is told to a large extent by extracts from official documents, Its his- torical importance, therefore, is very great, and the student who wants at a future time to follow the events of 1875-1878, and to ascertain the general views of the liberal party on the policy of the government during that period, will find this work of ines- timable assistance. In the preface the Duke of Argyll points out that the Eastern question, when it rose in 1876, involved some of the fundamental »principles of morality and politics, and that it had no necessary connection with party spirit. When, however, it was asserted that British interests re- quired that England should support Turkey, there could be no compromise on the part of those who condemned this doctrine, It was, he maintains, in the firet place a question of right and wrong, and in the second place of the great follies which are always involved in a course of injustice and wrong, The first chapter of the work deals with the treaties of 1856 and England’s obliga- tions under them. It is mainly ocoupied with two points, The Duke first endeavors to show that the article which admitted the Porte to partici- pate in the public law and system of Europe did not mean that Turkey was to be treated as having a civil- ization equal to that of the European Powers. Ita meaning was that Turkey was brought within the European system in the meaning of the treaties of 1814 and 1815 and that therefore her fete was not a matter of Russian, but of common interest and con- cern. The second point which he establishes is that England was not bound by these treaties to take up arms in defence of Turkey when attacked by Rus- sia. The second chapter deals with the condition of Turkey from 1853 to 1878 and is rely founded on official documents, To those who think that the state of the European provinces of Turkey in 1875 was due to exceptional causes they will be interesting reading. The reports of agents and con- suls during that period show that ail the evils whica drove the population to insurrection in 1875 uxisted during all that time. Among the most remarkable documents quoted by the Duke is a despstch trom General Sir F, Williams, the detender of Kars. It was written from Erzeroum in 1855, and it ought to be of some benefit that the administration of Armenia may be improved the Turks. “It is needless for me,” says General Williams, ‘‘to assure Your Lordship that no language can portray the infamy which characterizes the lite and character of this body of men (the Turkish police). The scenes of their exploits lie in the yillages, and more especially those inhabited by the Christians, although it must be stated the Mussulman cultivator does not escape their insolence, extortion and’ rapine.” The third chapter relates to the conduct of European Powers toward Turkey from 1856 to 1875, It is commonly supposed that, after the conclusion. ot the Crimean war, the En, overnment displayed no interest’ in. the in affairs o! Turkey, and never took any steps to sce that the promises which she gave to the Powers at Paris were carried out. This, however, as the Duke sho mistake, The Duke of Argyll refers to the in ence in the affairs of Syria, and describes it as a per- fect example of eye on which the European protectorate over Turkey can alone be exercised with any decent regard to justice. He thinks that when the Cretan insurrection broke out the same course ought to have been taken with regard to Crete, It was the events in Crete that first led the Duke to look closely into the con- dition of the Turkish provinces, and to examine how far the Porte had carried out its prom- ised reforms, and probably from that time may bo dated his hostility to the continuance of Turkish rule, bor gibee ge & @ tory Lapvenenat was then in office, and Lord Derby retused even to allow the Eng- lish men-ot-war to carry off women and children trom the attacks of the irkish bashi-bazouks, 1870 Lord Granville wrote a despatch unnecessarily polite and smooth in its tone, in which Turkey was warned that she could no longer rely on English aid. In the following chapter the Duke traces the history of affairs from the outbreak of the in- surrection in Herzegovina to the rejection ot the Berlin Memorandum, in May, 76, It is a melancholy record. Never before, perhaps, hus any English government made such an exhibition of feebleness and folly, and unhappily Lord Derby must bear the chief share in the bi of those transac- tions. Since he left tho British Cabinet there has been a disposition to overlook his former errors, but few liber who read the Duke of Argyll’s narrative ot the events of 1876 and 1876 will be disposed to for- ive the weakness which he displayed in this part of scareor. Tho Duke of ll throws some light on the history of the Berlin morandum. It is com- monly supposed that this document was secrecy by the three Emperors, an point blank at the heads of the Brit ment with something like an order to resign, In fact, their refusal to accept the Memorandum was to those who thin! popular, not so much from anything contained in tho document as because it was a8 an evi- dence of spirit and courage, As a matter of fact, English government was informed of the substance of the Memorandum weeks before it was .p) a. and Prince Bisinarok told them that the Powers woul be ready to modify it in any way to suit the views of ry the English government. ‘The Bulgarian Their ‘Unuses and. Effects,” form the subject of another chapter. Then follows a dramatic account of the Conference at Constantinople in 1876. The writer then reviews the course of events from the close of the Conference till the outbreak of the war, He shows that not the slightest effort was made by the Turkish government to carry out its yromisos, and the English government bags ge into Ke old habit of sympathy with the Porte, It refused to join in eyery effort to bring effective pressure om ‘Turkey, and the protocol of London—which was the nearest approach to coercion to which the English govermment was ever brought—was nuilifi na, The Duke traces the war, me foe ne ogni which 8 rOgTeHs, oars titi hich ‘Ted on qesaee 08 the nm jons whic!
