Tho Jesuit Pedro Janice having writ ten against tho society a work called "Tho Jesuit Upon the Scaffold," was surprised by the Holy Fathers, who compelled hkn to sign a retraction.

"The cur iosity drawn to the Jesuits is gathered from everywhere; over all, In the confessionals, to know from the penitent, whatever passes in her house, between herchlldren, sjrvants, or other persons who are domiciled with them, or to whom they come, and every inci dent which may happen. If they con fess a prince they have the power to govern a'l h'.o states, desiring to govern for him, and making him to believe that nothing will go well without their care and industry." It is not a philosopher who looks out for the Jesuits; it is the chief of the church; let us see the judgments by its third general, Francisco Borgia. III. "The time will arrive very soon, in which the "Company of Jesus' will be come very solicitous in the human sciences, but without a single applica tion to virtue, the ambition will be to dominate, the overbearing and pride penetrating its soul, to rule alone and no one can refrain them. The spirit of our brethren is trampled upon by an unlimited passion for temporal goods, an eagerness to accumulate with the utmost ardor of the worldly." Here is a prediction that does not pertain to Voltaire nor to Mlchelet, but to Gerome Lanuz&, bishop of At barracin. IV. "Robbing the alms given to the poor. to tho beggars and tho sick, drawing to tliein the rabhlo. Contracting familiarities with women and teaching them to wrong their hunbanus and to give them th.'ir good to hide." V. "A long time have we seen tho sojlety of tho Jesuits in imminent danger of a sudden decadence, for many bad heads and evil maxims predominate among them." (Letter of San Carlo of the Kith of April, 17."iti, to M. Spoelaup.) VI. "Wo have no religious order more prejudicial to tho universal church, or who have made themselves more re volting to christian provinces," etc. (Bishop Palafoz to I'opo Innocent X. Letter II, Chapter III, pages 115, 110. VII. Wo read in tho sentence given by the parliament of Franco of ltKiJ: 'The institute of the Jesuits is inad missible, for its nature in ita whole estate Is contrary to natural right, oji iosed to all authority, spiritual and temporal, ami on tho road to introduce under tho cloak of a religious institu tion, a body politic, whose essence cou slsts in a continual activity, to reach by whatever way their desire, direct or indirect, secret or public, until first an absolute independence, and succes sively the usurpation of all authority." VIII. Tho sentence of J702 contained the following paragraph relating to the moral of the Jesuits: "The moral practice of the society of the Jesuits is perverse, destructive of all religious principle and of probity; injurious to the christian morality ; per nicious to civil society; seditious and contrary to tho rights and nature of the royal power, and to tho sacred persons of tho sovereigns, and to the obedience of tho subjects; they are adapted to ex cite the greater revolts In the states, and to reform and eustain the most pro found corruption in the hearts of men." IX. in reply to a brief of Pope Clement XIII., Charles III. being king of Spain, he expressed the following, relating to the Jesuits: "I can assure your holi ness that I have the proofs, the most efficacious, of the necessity of expelling the whole company, and not any one 'n particular. I repeat to your holiness with a new assurance, and for your con solation I pray God that he will inspire what I believe." X. When Clement XIV. had signed the extinction of tho Jesuits he wa found seated in his office, and said in the pit sence of a person distinguished for his merit and his class, "I have made this suppression, and I do not repent it; but I was not determined until I had examined to the end, and fully reflected and having bjlieved it useful and nec cessary for the chuich, making it anew if it had not already done so; ma qwxta gojmmoue mi ura fa moift" "al though this suppression shall occasion my death." XI. No one knew how to ii te rpret a pas quinade at the entrance of the palace of the holy father, which contained these five letters: I. S. S S. V. Clement XIV. explained them in this manner, "in Sittembrt- Sara ikde I'ui'awfe." In September the holy see will be vacant. Clement XIV. died with a devouring heat in the throat, stomach and intes tines, ceasing to exist after terrible colics. At the end of his death, his body was clean, became black and de composed in great pieces. Twice had the life of the holy father been attempted by poison in the month of April, and at last in June, 1774. "The Jesuits had devoted themselves to poverty!!! We have found thd Jesuits in power and perhaps with ail the riches of South A merle; not ceas ing to augment their wealth by the in dustry of its traffic which has been extended until they have opened not only markets of cattle, meat and fish, bu. the stores for the smallest of trade!" (Second letter of Bishop Palafoz to Injioeent X.) XII. "Political co-rupters rf all govern' ments; flatterers of the great and of their passions; prime movers of despot ism; to smother the reason and power of authority; enemies of kings who op- pose them and their crooked desires; calumniators of the many who love with sincerity the prince and the state: plac ing a sceptre of iron in the hands of kings and a dager in those of their sub jocts; counseling tyranny and preach' ing tyrannicide; binding to its Interests the most cruel Intolerance with the most seandalou indifference and re Mct Ui religion and morality; er mittlrg all cUmo of crini.-, and not pardoning dispute over word In sub jects little intelligible; serving idolatry which they regard, and persecuting Catholicism which refuses it confid ence. A theological quarrel I in KurX' a business of tute, as much as the uMrlitionH and worship of Coo fueius which they permit in Asia." (M. do Mono, air Manual of the Ji suits, note (il .) XIV. Benedict XIV., by a bull of D.iceiu ber, 1741, prohibited the Jesuit. "They dare, before us, to enslave the Indians of Paraguay, to s.'ll ihem, or buy them, etc., beparatirg mothers from their children, and to desfMiil them of their good and property." (Page 27.) XV. A few days lu fore his death, Father Laehalse said to Louis XIV , "Sir, I council you to clt ct a confessor in our company well disjKised to your majesty, for at this lima they are very much scattered, numerous and composed of characters very diverse and I in pas sloned for tho glory of tho lody. No one can answer for a misfortune, and one evil blow may very soon b.j given." Tho king took care to throw down the proposition, and It was referred to Marechal, his chief physician, the which In his first terror he revealed to Blouin, ilrstchambjrlaln, and to Bolduc tho first apothecary, his particular friend, and from whom we have this and many other anecdotes. (Memoirs of Duclos, vol. i, page 134. XVI. Pope Innocent XIII. reproached the Jesuits for having been, in Pekin, the prime movers and solicitors of tho in carceration of tho missionaries, declar ing that for that unheard of scandal, re presenting the paper of the eon stables for their impr.sonment and jailors for keepers, over all for the re spect to Pediui, Appiani and Guingues, Italian and French missionaries.

And that use can not make of similar instruments a superior ambitious man and a criminal continually occupied in observing and consequently for sale. I nposing the voko of belief, that they are sold for their good; this is the culmination of fauaticism." ' (La Chalotals, Manual of the Const! tutions of the Jesuits, page 171, edition in 12.) XVHI. "It is for this that tho society of the Jesuits has the power to htdo the sur, and make men blind and deaf to its caprice." (Montlarc, Manual, page 00. XIX. ' Tho goneral is the true pope of the Company o? Jesus, and the plan of this institution is to destroy all authority, and all government, having concen trated all in its society." "This ami itiou company is a nation, a power apart germinating in the loins of all others, changing their substance and surmountingtthelr ruins." (Riquet, member of the parliament of Toulouse.) Verily, a tape-worm. Translator. XX. "When other religion possesses secret constitutions, privileges which they do n t declare, and regulations which are forever hidden? The church does not limit that which illumines the reason of man, and by the contrary it abhors totally the darkness, and for this will come, as much is any desire, the privileges, the instructions, statutes and regulations of the conduct of the most religious. Religious men there are in the abodes of the Jesuits, and religious professors who ignore the constitutions and privileges, proper rules of the company; but taey are the more obliged to submit to them, and made to folio them; for whose motives the superiors conduct them by secret regulations known only to themselves." (D. Palafoz, bishop of Osmu to Inno cent X.) To conclude such numerous citations we abandon the pen with pleasure; be ing effectively pained of having to transcribe such maxims, although they may be trampled upon and scoffed at. For the general public who believe that we are deceived and a compiler of dreams better than the thoughts of an individual of a religious society, are the ideas of a bandit. We cannot be lieve that there are men so miserable, who excuse the parricide, the robber, the assassin, and all the vicious, adulat ing despotism and pointing the daggers against kings. "A vertigo has for throe centuries made the Company of Jesus; if these abominable doctrines have not been sufficient to horrify the world, without having been thrust forth from the con fessional, who can foretell what we shall be today, and who knows if the power not pertaining to the order that the nineteenth century may not have the glory of destroying It forever?

''If we are accused of pride and of in tention that all shall pa through our hands, and dcciid on us; when they do not have that uKin which to found similar accusations, we must conduct ourm lve in such a manner that tie world cannot vituperate us." (Fpistle of Muci.j Witelleschi, gen eral of the ksuit.) II. Mariana concluded that the Society of Jesus was gangrened. He believed that it was lost by It crime, if God did not shortly e-.lat.Iish it upon a more solid foundation. III. Geromo Fioraventi said: "I confiss it with pain that much of it contained in the liook of Mariana is very true, and that the Society of Jesus has jier emptory ncie-isity of total reform." 1'OWKII OK THE POPES AND OK THE JrSlTlS.

It is well if they are eager for it; then it may be attempted more than once against it; I have the proof by expjrience and can show some cicatrices of its wounds. There is no necessity of more invita tions, nor excitements to reach to the extremes, consenting to his pardon but greatly to my grief and for necessity." (Henry IV.) V. "Whatever man of the people, not to have other remedy, we can kill him who tyranically usurps power; for he is a public enemy." (Emmanuel Sa, Jesuit.) VI.

' (To be continued.) MARIA MONK. The Nun Y ho Escaped From the Hotel Dieii, Montreal, Canada. Fresh l)e velopnieiits. In the winter of 1800 and 1S01 the celebrated Chas. Chiniquy, commonly called Father Chiniquy, and now proba bly the most famous ex-priest in the world was in Washington, D. C. Here he delivered a course of nineteen lec tures on Romanism. He was then in his 82ad year, be ing now 1805, he would be 86 years old. It fell to my lot to serve as his assist ant and I was with him daily for about three wei ks. Being one day alone with him in his room, 1 asked whether he knew anything about the story of Maria Monk and her famous book, Awful Dis closures. Chiniquy was about 20 years old at the time of Miss Monk's escape, in 1835; and I knew that he had been much in Montreal where the Hotel Di.-u is situated. He replied that ho did, and that one occasion, when he had becom? too ill to continue his arduous labors as a priest and "Apostle of Temperance," as he was often called, his bishop sant him to that very hotel to take some needed rest, saying to him: "The sisters will give you a room, and nurse you tenderly, and you will soon recover your usual health." While he was theio a very old nun often c;tme into his room to minister to his wants: and one day he asked her whether she know any thing of the story of Maria Monk. She replied that she was well informed on that subject, and had read her book, "Awful Disclosures." "Well now, "says Chiniquy "were you here during the time when she elaimes to have been here?" "Yes," she said, "I was here and I knew her well." "Then," says he, "I wish you would tell me whethor the awful statements she has made of deeds done in this nunnery were true." Upon this question, the old nun as greatly agitat d and begged to be ex cused from answering; but on being pressed for an answer, consented, pro vided he would promise never to reveal anything she said until after her death. He promised, and she then stated that Miss Monk's statements in that book were true; and says she, "I have seen worse things done here than anything that she has told." My attention was again turned to the Maria Monk affair, by seeing a little phamphlet recently published in Lon don, Eng., by a Catholic house, endeav oring to prove that Miss Monk's Aw ful Disclosures were a fraud. I read I the phamphlet through; but it does not sim to me to disprove any part of ber ttory. Beaidei, this statement of the Rev. Chiniquy 1 a dlivct confirmation of the truth of Mis Monks story, new evidence, hkh I have cev.;r before een published. Bat I have just rvceivei, most un expectedly, so ne very Interesting and very reliable statements from another source. While Fri. n l Ti ay n,.r, Sla'.e Presi dent of the A. P. A , was in thia city rvc. ntly, he gave me th- name of a Rev. gentle man now living in New York City, from whom valuable information con cerning Miss Monk might Ik; obtained. I wrote to him, and received stibs'anti ally tho following: That it was his mother, who first prot eted Miss Mank, when she arrived in that city after her escape from Montreal in the year 1835 He says: "It was extremely difficult to select a refuge with any promise of safety, as spies wi ro altrt and numer ous, and danger of discovery was in creasing." The name of this proieetrix was Mrs. Saraa W. Ii- eves, famous for her beauty, breadth of mind, dauntless courage, and sublimity of character, cox hi tied with such lovable traits and womanly graces as commended her for this charge in a time of great peril. Her love of jjstiee, hatred of wrong, and unfaltering devotion to humanity, decided the question, and watchman Hogan seized a favorable opportunity, and secretly hurried Maria Monk to Mrs. Reeve's residence where she and Mrs. Hogan welcomed her at midnight. She was immediately secreted on the top floor, previously prepared for her, which she oscupled for months, where when restored to health and strength, she wrote her famous book, Awful Dis closures." "The truths it contained were ter ibly emphasized by tho subsequent excitement, and flood of vituperation with malignant persecution, coupled with threats of assassination." "It is idle folly to attempt to discredit her book in the face of the venomous fury aroused, and the consternation which forced the leading minds of the Roman Catholic chuich into the con troversy." "Maria Monk at length tired of her captivity, and one day incautiously ap proached a window, and was recog nized." "That night a mob beseiged the house, demanding her immediate sur render." "They were dispersed, and another mob appeared the next day," "Tho third day, Fifth street from Avenue D to Avenue C was filled by a frenzied mob of howling fanatics '(Ro man Catholics), who threatened to raze the house to the ground, unless Miss Monk was surrendered at once. Mrs. Reeve preferred to take chances rather READ OUR NEW . .

Why is it that all escaped nun tell the s ime story of those prisons?
