THE RIGHT TO CELEBRA TE." The editor of the Exjrress sees a vast difference between the legality of the celebration in America of the anniversary of the battle of the Boyne on one side, and of the battle of Bull Run or of hit. Bartholomew's day on the other side. He gives good reasons why the latter celebrations should not take place the MAIL did the same. He says that St. Bartholomew was a ureat wrong, and that the rebellion was infamous the same sentiments have been uttered in these columns repeatedly. In his tirades against rebels and Catholics he fails entirely to meet the question at iKSue. The MAIL asserts that the legal right of rebels to celebrate the anniversary of the battle of Bnll Run, or of Catholic zealots to celebrate St. Bartholomew's day, is the same as the legal right of Orangemen to parade on the 12th of July—that the legal right is perfect, and that its exercise in either case mentioned is foolish, unnecessary, impolitic, and worse. Ife:
Now wo ask the Express to lay aside all vaporings concerning the wrong of tho rebellion, or of St. Bartholomew, and tell us wherein the celebration of the battle of the Boyne is more legal than of St. Bartholomew or Bull Run. I does noV*kytri «PPlies

H'Ul, the Mayor of New to Hi/ nruiuitamf iw^A/c»w tinij rigiiuj? denounced as infamous.
Tf the Krjn-ess cannot point the statute which prohibits a St. Bartholomew or Bull Hun celebration, if it cannot toll us what tribunal can act in the matter, and decide what anniversary of old world wrong and intolerance can lawfully be celobrated, and what anniversary cannot be celebrated, if it can give us 110 better reason for stopping such celebrations than that public sentimont co 1 idem 11s them—it invokes the same infamous mob spirit which received a deserved quietus in New York on tho Twelfth the same mob spirit which caused the anti-Catholic riots in Louisville in 1854, in Philadel phia in 184i», in London in 1795 the samo hellish intolerance which burst forth into a llame of wholesale murder on St. Bartholomew's day the same lawlessness which caused the butchery of 85,000 Christians by Turks, in 1592v the very same spirit which demanded the crucifixion of Christ.
The Exjress cannot evade this issue by speaking of the wrongs of St. Bar tholomew, or of the rebellion. To an Irishman, the celebration of the battle of the Boyne is an expression of approval of more than a century of tyrau ny, slavery, national humiliation, and religious persecution. It comes home to him personally. He and his immediate progenitors have breathed the air oi oppression and groaned under the enduring wrongs fastened upon them by their Saxon masters who went over with William of Orange. He has better grounds for feeling insulted and In Jured personally by Orange celebrations than the editor of the Express has to fee! outraged by a St. Bartholomew demonstration. Are the feelings of Protestanta entitled to more legal consideration in America than of Catholic*?
We understand the Express to argue that a celebration which outrages public sentiment should not be permitted. We read many newspapers, and keep moderately well posted concerning public opinion, and we hare seen but one journal which believes that the Orange parade was right in spirit, or commendable within itself. We allude to the Terre-Haute Erjtre.t*. If public disapproval of the good taste, or proI#iety of a celebration should cause it to be suppressed, then Mayor Hall was right in the attempt, which we call in-
flunous, to prevent the

it will do so because there is no law for the suppression of such celebrations, and it will be open to the charge of invoking the very mob spirit it pretends to condemn.
Captain Allen is entitled to a patent for his ideas upon "the right to celebrate." We venture the assertion that no other editor in America dare to take the position that the celebration of the anniversary of the battle of the Boyne in this country is lawful, and that the celebration of St. Bartholomew's day is unlawful. _____
The highest of all human tribunals "has decided against tho rebellion." True but it did not decide that a man may not whistle rebel airs, or display rebel bunting, or utter rebel sentiments. If it did. why is it that there is not a case on record of civil prosecution for doing any of these things which have been done millions upon millions of times since the war?
The Express believes that "the editor of the MAIL, instead of 'insisting' on the rebels 'legal right* to celebrate, would be among the first—in case volunteers were needed—to lend a willing hand in putting them down." The editor of the MAIL does not understand why volunteers would be needed to put down a peaceful procession. He would condemn a rebel procession with all his might, but he tarould riise no hand against it. He was enlisted in the service to combat armed igbting rebels trom the beginning to th« end of the late war. The rebellion ii dead, and be conld not be induced fight men because they are foolish en»tigh to celebrate its memories.
If a number of rebel sympfihizers may march through tbe street!of one city with the 'stars and bars' vaving, a thousand other similar organkationa may march through a thousand other cities in the same manner, ff they may legally celebrate, they nay as "legally meet regularly for drill.

The Express need not attempt to teach the MAIL that the rebellion and the St. Bartholomew slaughter were wrong. If our memory fails us not, we have heard something of that kind before. \t
Catholics do not desire to Bartholomew's day, says the Express. True and this only shows that they have more decency, better ideas of propriety, more regard lor the feelings of others, and more shame for the wrongs of the past, than the Orangemen who displayed their animosities, two hundred years old, in the streets of New York on the Twelfth.
If the law can be violated by peaceful processions, may not all parades be subject to injunction? Imagine the state of affairs when Protestants) can demand an injunction to stop Catholic processions, and vice versa. Woild it not be better to have laws, to setforth explicity just what celebrations will be tolerated in the land of the free and the home of the brave?
Rebel papers are published, jrebel speeches are made, rebel flags ale displayed, and yet no man in Amerija has ever been prosecuted under civil law for doing any of these things. Treason is a crime, but treason cousisti in an overt act,- and the utterance cf rebel sentiments, or the display of relel colors, does not constitute an owrt act. Will the Express now tell u^how it would go to work to stop the peaceful celebration of a rebel victory* Can Justice Denehie stop it? Hov? Can Mayor
Thomas stop it? By yhaj au
thority? Can U. S. Marshall Spomer stop it Under what law, and by hat precedent

The policy of our government has been, and we challenge our neighbor to show
a
single example to the contrary, to
allow the broadest latitude in thought, speech and action, and to restrain nowhere save when laws are violated. The editor of the Express can set up no standard of what ought to be. He would probably have advised the closing of the office of the Imperialist newspaper, a journal started in New York a year or two ago for the avowed purpose of destroying the United States government. It was left severely alone by the authorities, and soon died. He would now attempt to galvanize rebellion into life by suppressing rebel newspapers and prosecuting persons for the display of rebel colors. A wiser policy prevails, and rebellious sentiment is dying out of the hearts of the people, because there are no persecutions for it to feed on.
We have devoted much space to this question, because there is a principle involved in it which the public should understand. Our friend of the Express, usually fair, liberal and logical, has wandered far from the right. He must now show the law by which he would suppress rebel celebratit^ns, and the celebration of St. Bartholomew's day, or he must admit that he has invoked the mob
THE Indianapolis Journal charges with good foundation apparently, that R. J. Bright, of the Sentinel, has swindled the State out of $20,000, or more,by forged and fabricated accounts as State Printer, and has had him arrested for felony. It seems that A. H. Conner,the late Republican State Printer, stands charged with speculations while in office beside which Bright's thefts dwindle into insignificance. Now Mr. Conner should be made to answer these charges before a legal tribunal also. Bright and Conner are both professional trading politicians. They have made a business of party management, and of course they are corrupt. The people will demand ol the next legislature, be it Democratic or Republican, the abolition of the office of State Printer. There are no better reasons lor the employment of such an official than of a State Carpenter or a State Bricklayer.

It will not- be conducive to the health or longevity of 'rebel sympathizers' in this city, or in any other part of the United States, to accept the MAIL'S statement of their rights and act accordingly." Our cotemporary will not assert that there is any law by which men can be killed or injured because they carry rebel colors in peaceful processions. This being the case the words quoted are either mere idle bombast, intended to tickle tho ears of a class of shallow and ignorant rebel haters, or it is an appeal to the most malignant and murderous passions of a mcb.

IT is well to hear both sides ol a story As we suspected, there are two sides to the,Corean difficulty. Here is the let ter forwarded by the Coreans to Rear Adiniral John Rogers, commanding the Asiatic squadron: "In the year 1868 a man of vour notion whose name was Feblger, came here and communicated nntl went away. Why cannotryou do the same In the year l«fe people called French came here and we refer you to them for what happened. This people and kingdom have lived In the enlov ment of their own civilization for four thousand years, and we want no other. We trouble no other nations. Why should they trouble us? Our country is in the farthest east, yours in the farthest west for what purpose do you come so many thousand miles across the sea? Is It to inquire alHHit the vessel that destroyed the General Sherman? Iier men committed pi®nd niurder, and t.liey were punished with death.

THE explicit charge made by certain newspapers that Mr. Jefferson Davis held Illicit intercourse with the wife of another man, in a sleeping car of the Memphis fc Charleston Railroad, on the 10th of July, is denied by Mr. DaviB and his friends in a manner so guarded and evasive as to prove the charge in the minds of unprejudiced persons. What a blessed thing would it hnve been for the Confederate chieftain if the Government had followed insane counsels and executed him for treason. If it had done so, bis memory would now be sacred in the hearts of the Southern people. As it is he must sink in their estimation to an object of contempt and scorn.
THE German paper, the Banner, says that the MAIL has become a Democratic sheet because it supports James B.
sional nomination. Now we propose to balance the thing. We shall support Captain Charles If. Allen, editor of the JSxpress, for the Republican congressional nomination next year, and we shall support Adolph Fabricius, late editor of the Democratic VolMAatt and of the Republican Banner, tor State Senator.

A CURIOUS and not insignificant fact is developed by tho books of tho Internal Revenue Office.

PROGRESS in Europe is not less startling tban in America. The unification of Germany, the deposition of Napoleon III., the establishment of the French Republic, the bloodless revolutions in England, the establishment of the Italian capital at Rome, and now the probable retirement of the Pope to an insignificant island, follow so closely upon each other that there is no unlooked tor change in the political status of Europe that can cause us surprise. Truly the nineteenth century is the crowning point of all time. The thrones of tyrants are upturned, the power of autocracy and aristocracy shattered, and the baneful influence of religious control over the ruling of nations blown to the winds. Old prejudices are buried old creeds which cannot be made to harmonise with a pure and loving faith are condemned to their proper place among dead superstitions, and the intellectual progress of the people keeps even in advance of their moral improvement. This is the bright, good golden age. Away with the superstitions, intolerance, bigotry and stupidity of the past—room for the genius of the better Present and of the glorious Future!
MR. RICHARD J. BRIGHT'S article in the Sentinel of the 28th of July, intended to refute the criminal charge of perjury and fraud made by W. P. Fishback, is the weakest and shallowest piece of bombast we have ever seen. He vapors about honor, reputation, kc., but admits that he was not ready to defend himself against a criminal charge before a justice of the peace. He chooses to deliver his honor into the custody of the grand jury whose deliberations can never be published. The trouble with Mr. R. J. B. at this time seems to be that he has been defrauding the State, and that he would like to divert the attention of the people from tho fact by loud talking. This game will not win. He must clear himself of the charges made by W. P. Fishback, or every newspaper reader in the Stato will look upon him with enduring contempl. -I'
NEW HAVKN, Conn., is agitated about the Sunday horse-'Car question. Poor people, who find it too hot to walk to church, want the cars to run in order that they may be able to get the benefits of the Sabbath services. Religious people who have their own carriages, however, are resolutely opposed to desecrating the holy day by tho running of public conveyances. I11 this there may be some morality, but no Christianity. If the street-car wheels cannot turn for the poor on Sun day, we are in favor of a law which —«n «n other \^ieeled^vehicles may not picnic in the groves On Sunday, then basket meetings and camp meetings should be prohibited on that day. ::f^

The courageous developments of the Times have at last aroused tho people to action. That journal has been a faithful guardian of the interests the tax payors.
