TH E AMERICAN ASSASSINATION OF PRES. LINCOLN Every , Person Implicated In the Diabolical Plot a Ro man Catholic. Standpoint Occupied by Ex-Priest Chiniquy, V. ha was the Pres ident's Close Friend. Father Chloiquy, the apostate Cath olic priest, who has been lecturing in Baltimore, in conversation mith a Morning Herald reporter, made a number ot statements regarding the assassination of President Lincoln, which are not to be found in the his tories of the period, and accounts for that lamentable tragedy: "I am a French Canadian by birth," aid ho to the reporter, "and was born in Kamovaska, Canada, in 1S09. Both of my parents were Catholics, and I was, ot course, brought up in that faith. From a very early age I was satined for the priesthood, and my education was conducted with that said always in view. Having been ordain ed, I arose very rapidly in the esti mation of my religious superiors as wall as in popular favor, and was soon looked upon aa one ot the most prom ising members of the Canadian priest hood. My work in the cause of tem perance brought me into special prom inence, and I became widely known all over Canada, and. Indeed, in the Catholic church everywhere. "In 1851 Catholic bishops and clergy from all over North America met in aecret conclave at Buffalo, N. Y., and there the question was discussed, and It waa decided to seize the cities of North America for the Catholic church. The plan adopted was to bring Catholic emigrants from Europe In sufficient numbers to gain control of the city governments by popular Tote. The attempt was carried out to some extent, and was successful at least in New York. It was particu larly the desire of the church to get possession of the school fund in the various cities in order to use it for the benefit of Catholicism. The well remembered struggle for the expulsion of the Bible from the public schools hi Cincinnati in 1S70 was the out growth of the action of the conclave in 185L "At this same conclave I was assign ed to go to Illinois with a band of French Canadian Catholics and to found a colony or coionies. Colonists also came from France, and early in 1852 I founded my colony at St Anne, Kankakee county. 111. A chapel or church was built, and we had a con gregation of about 500 souls. "In 1858, after several years of atudy and many trials. I determined to leave the Church of Rome, whose doctrines I no longer believed. It was on Saturday evening that I reached my final determination, and the next morning I went into the pulpit and told my congregation of the step I was about to take, and my reasons. After talking to them for two hours I put the matter to a vote, and all but fifteen of my 300 parishioners ex pressed their intention of following me. Tnis action, when it became known, created no little excitement all over the country. About a year later we Joined the Chicago Presbytery, and afterward the Canadian Presbytery to which we still belong. "Previous to this Abraham Lincoln had defended roe when I was prose cuted by the church, and when, some time after our withdrawal from the rhurch our colony was theatened with destruction from famine, he came for ward and for our benefit delivered a lecture, in which he denounced the or der of the Jesuits with the greatest boldness. This made our former friendship all the stronger. "In 18C2 a Canadian Jesuit priest was converted through my leaching, and from him I first learned of a plot of that order to assasinate Mr. Lin coln. He told me that the plot was first laid in 1 861. 1 went at once to Washington, and in a conference with Mr. Lincoln warned him of what I had learned. He told me that he was al ready informed of the matter by Mr. Samuel F. B. Morse, the telegraph in ventor, who had heard It by chance whi'e in Rome. Mr. Morse was not a Catholic. "About a year afterward I convert ed another Jesuit priest, who had ab solutely no knowledge of any other convert, and by him I was told the same story. I again went to Wash ington and warned the president. After the assassination, while I was In San Francisco, another Jesuit .priest gave me, for a third time. tdent'cfO'v the same account of the plot In the order against the president. While 1 was seeking Information In regard to the crime I met the Rev. F. A. Con well, of Chicago, who related the fol lowing: "Ninety miles northwest of St. Pajil, Minn., is the little village of St. Joseph, settled by Roman Catliolirs, and with a college for the education of priests. On the 14th of April. 1865. at 6 o'clock in the afternoon, two men drove up to the village hotel; one was the Rev. F. A. Conwell, chaplain of the first Minnesota regiment and the other was Horace P. Bennett, of St Cloud about ten miles eastward. While Mr. Bennett was attending to the horse In the barn the landlord, J. H. Linneman ,who has charge of the friary, and was purveyor for the priests, told Chaplain Conwell that President Lincoln and Secretary Sew ard were assassinated. And when Mr. Bennett returned from the barn to the tavern the landlord reiterated the tatement to both his guests. "This was not later than 6:30 p. m., and the assassination of Lincoln did ot occur till about 10 p. m. Allov ing for the diffcreme In time between St Joseph and Wa ::ingto tiie news reached St. oseph at hast two hours before It orcarr 'd.

JSS3, du'y algnrd. saying that he told Conwell and Mr. liennrit that 'he hnd hMU this rumor in his store from ptn-ple who came in and out; but he raunol remember from whom.' That lap) of memory probably saved the landlord s lite. The priests of St Joseph me.e cognisant of the plot to kuaslnata Lincoln and Seward. "Without a single exception the con spirators were Roman Catholics. It is true that Atxeroth, Payne and Har old asked for Protestant ministers when they wr to be hung, but they had been considered Catholics till then. John Wilkes Booth waa a proselyte to Cinuoiicism. and so were Atterotb, Payne and Harold. But had their fa.n-. confewtom appeared with them on the scaffold that would have opened the eyea of the Amerhau people to clearly see that the assassin ation of Lincoln and Seward were planned and executed by J suit p tests. The murderers were instructed 10 con ceal their religion. Such Is the doc trine of the Catholic church. St Liguori says: " 'It is often more to the glory of God and the good of our neighbor to conceal our religious faith. a when we live among heretics we can more easily do them good In that way; or if by declaring our religion, we cause some disturbance or deaths, or even wratn of the tyrant.' Liguori Theologla, II. 3.) "Dr, Mudd, at whose place Booth stopped in his fTght. was a Catholic and so was Garrett, In whose barn Booth was killed. "After the murder Father C'.ilnlquy went to Washington In disguise. He found that the Influence of Roma at the capital was almost supreme. The only statesman who dared to face the nefarious Influence of Rome was Gen. Baker. But several other statesmen confessed that without doubt the Jes uits were at the bottom of the plot; and sometime this would appear so clearly in evidence before the mili tary tribunal that it was feared it could not be kept from the public. Mrs Surratt was a Catholic, and her house was the common rendezvous of the priests. "Booth, the assassin himself, was confirmed in this very city of Balti more. He was but the tool of the Jesuits. He was taught by thein that the pope had called Jeff Davis his dear son, and had taken the southern confederacy under his protection- He was taught that Lincoln was an apos tate, that he had been baptized In the Catholic religion, had rebelled against it and broken his oath of allegiance to the pope. He was taught that it was his religious duty to slay this Infa mous enemy of his church. "Compare other murders known to have been plotted and executed by Jesuits with this one and you will find that they resemble each other as one drop of water resembles another. Compare the last hours of the Jesuit, Ravaillac, the assassin of Henry IV., who absolutely refused to repent, though suffering the most horrible tortures on the rack, with Booth, who, with an unset broken leg. the bone al most puncturing the flesh, writes In his daily memorandum: 'I can never repent, though we hated to kill. Our country owed all its troubles to him (Lincoln), and God simply made me the instrument of his punishment.' "I found that the influence of Rome was almost supreme in Washington. Several of the government men with whom I conversed told me that they had not the least doubt that the Jesu its were at the bottom of the crime. They were afraid to let the crime come out lest the priests should be Implicated, and in the event of their execution they knew that riots, blood. Are and devastations must follow, and these the country, in its then divided state could not sustain." Evading Real Issues. The weakness of the case of those who are vigorously opposing the Im migration restriction bill Is shown by their persistent refusal to meet fairly and squarely the real and es sential issue involved In the proposal of an educational test for new arrivals The protest of the German societies of Chicago and of the league recently organized In New York, as well as the arguments advanced in congress by such men as Senator Caffrey. deal with but one aspect of the problem. They harp upon the obvious and ad mitted fact that illiteracy is not al ways and necessarily a sign of vi ciousness and Incapacity, and indulge in Irrelevant emotional appeals to principles which no friend of the edu cational test dreams of surrendering. That immigration has done much for the development of the country is not questioned by sny sane man. That it can and will do still more is equally beyond dispute. That an edu cational test if applied a hundred or even fifty years ago. would have barred out thousands of worthy, use ful and desirable citizens, to the great detriment of the country, is also readily and cheerfully conceded. Why, then, urge considerations that have absolutely no bearing upon the ques tion we are called upon to settle here and now? What is this essential question? Simply this, whether or not the coun try needs a rest from the work of ab sorption and assimilation imposed by a practically unrestricted immigra tion. Today we only exclude paupers, criminals diseased persons and con tract laborers. If we need no further restriction in the interest of the American standard of wages and liv ing, the educational test Is indeed un necessary and improper; but those who admit that present restrictive measures are inadequate are bound to supply a better and fairer test than that of ability to read and write, a test so parfect as to exclude all un worthy applicants and admit all worthy ones. The champions of the immigration bill recognize that here and there injustice would result, but they most emphatically deny that any great number of desirable immigrants would be shut out or that the law would stop immigration. Are not the labor organizations better authorities on the need of further restriction than the societies now fighting the Lodge bill? Chicago E-.ening Post. Ye., we have plen'y of this issue.

A heretic, holding or teaching false doctrine concerning the sacraments, is excommunicated and degraded, and hand ed over to the seculiar court. 17. Secular princes unwilling to swear to defend the church against heretics are excommunicated, and they are luid tinder an Interdict. 18.
