Now, if politics are the cause of Mr. Arthur Swabey’s dis- missal, it must be observed, that as he is not yet of age, so

he never has voted for or against ary Government. It may.

be presumed that be would not vote, whatever might be his predilections, against hisemployere. At alt events, on politi- eal grounds, he had no right, if fairly treated, to be dimissed until he did. The Post Office Statute appoints £100 as the aslary of the place of which we are treating. Tie Govern- ment bas thought proper to pay this officer—acknowledged on

perfect right to adopt whatever form of religious faith her reason and judgment dictated to her.

Under tho caption “ Startling Abduction” the Canadian Protestant press has, during the past week, been regaling its readers with @ garbled account of the conversion, and recep- | tion into the Catholic Church of a young lady, lately resident _in Montreal, and the daughter of a gentleman whose name is ‘already well known to the public, as connected with a dis- | tinguished ‘‘ Insurance Company.’’ We owe it to our readers

Is thena Government to dismiss its officers without notice and without fault—to deprive them of daily bread upon mere caprice ? Surely this is not the way to obtain popular support. Moriarty, as has been before referred to by ourselves and cor- respondents, was dismissed fromm the Block House, because the Government suspected him to be a Liberal, although he did not vote against them.

To how many this treatment is extended, we do not know: but we have taken these two cases asa sample, where the

These tell us that the young lady in question—a Miss Starr

| —who had received her education in Paris, there * fell under | the influence of Roman C&tholics ;’’ that there she was urged | to leave the world and join a convent : that upon her removal from Paris to Montreal she was ‘‘ traced from place to place | by the wonderful seeret police system of the Romish Church ;”" | and that ‘* the ecclesiastical officials’? were by these agencies, ,kept ‘‘ informed of her history, position, and tendencies.”’ By the Protestant version—and in this consists the entire \gravamen of the charge against the Romish ecclesiastics of

| Montreal—the young lady was the pursued, and not the pur- _Suer ; was decoyed into the Church, und did not spontaneously | offer herself a willing victim. | Next we are told that the young lady, thus watched, in- | fluenced, and worked upon, was persuaded, nay, almost com- pelled, to abandon the paternal roof; and at the instigation of the clergy—by whom it is more than insinuated that she was kept in darance —was induced to conceal herself from |ber parent’s anxious search, within a nunnery; that the | Bishop of Montreal was cognisant of the facts of the case ; , that when applied to for information, he denied all knowledge

States, where much against her will she was forcibly detained ; and where at last, after a series of romantic adventures, the distracted father found his long lost child, and rescued her from the hands of her inhuman jailors. This, in substance, is the Protestant version of the events, the true and Catholic version of which we are about to lay before our readers,

Some time ago, one morning very early, a young lady pre- sented herself at the Seminary of Montreal, and in great anxiety demanded an interview with one of the Priests of that establishment. Her request being granted, the young lady

i

Tas exclusive system adopted by the present Government in the distribution of little offices, is finely illustrated by the change in the personnel of the Board of Education and the Trustees of the Asylum and Central Academy. Amongst the old Trustees of the Acylum there were, independent of the er officio members, five Tories out of nine ; in the new list there is the name of only one Liberal to nine Tories. In the old Board of Education, under the late Government, there were four Conservatives out of seven members. In the new Board recently reconstructed, there is only one Liberal. In the Trus- tees of the Central Academy, under the Liberal Government, independent of the ex officio members, three of the nine mem- bers were prominent Conservatives. In the new Board of Trustees, there is only one Liberal, who is expected to give an occasional support to the Government. ‘To shew that the Liberals carried no political feeling into the Board of Trustees of the Academy when they had a majority there, two of their place could easily have been filled by ancther—had rendered himself conspicuous in his opposition to the Government by his writings against them.

The public cannot fail to draw a comparison, creditable to the Liberals, of the spirit thus manifested with the petty welignity which prompted the removal of Mr. Monk from the Normal School, because he showed his good feelings towards wr. Jenkins at the last election by wearing a blue ribbon in his coat. This is the wise and statesimanlike reason assigned for his dismteeal.

THE ABDUCTION CASE.

Tux alleged abduction of the daughter of the Hon. John Lean- der Starr, formerly of Halifax and at present of Montreal. from the domestic circle into a Convent in the State of New York —appears to be the most exciting piece of news which many Colonial and American journale have been able to give their readers for several months past. We should tak: no more than a passing notice of this affair, only that two of our own journals in Charlottetown have lent their columns to the re- production of the most false and contradictory statements in reference to it. The Islander of Friday copies from the De- troit (U.S. paper) Tribune, a very lengthy account of Miss Starr's adventures, in which, as we are informed by other authorities, there is an ingenious mixture of truta and false- hood ; and our contemporary follows up the Tridune’s account with a letter bearing the signature of the father of the young lady in question, which not only does not corroborate some

of the leading statemets in the preceding account, but posi-|§

tively refutes one or two of the allegations most damaging to the Catholic side of the question; as, for instance, the Tv- bune states that the Bishop of Montreal assisted Miss Starr in her escape from parental authority, while Mr. Starr’s letter exonerates the Bishop from all participation in the transaction.

proceeded to introduce herself to the Priest, as the victim o! la cruel, systematic, unrelenting domestic persecution, ti 'which she was, and long had been, exposed because of her desire to become a Catholic, and to embrace the religious j life. Her family, she said, would not allow her to praetis« ‘the religion on which her heart wag set ; and flight, or apos- | stacy, she declared, were the only alternatives that presented themselves to her. pointed out to her the extreme importance of the ctep she de- sired to take, and the severities of the life she eae have to lead, if her desire of becoming a Carmelite were to be gratified. He therefore urged her to deep and prayerful reflection ; com- forting her however with the words of Our Savour, Who Himself tells us that he who loves father or mother more than Christ is not worthy of Him. He also exhorted | er to speak to her parents; but to this the young lady would not consent.

The visits were repeated at the young lady's own urgent request at intervals, at the same early hour, for some time. The young-lady’s desire to be received into the Chureh in- creased day by day; her determination to take the veil— which determination she had formed for years—became hourly stronger ; and at last, when the day approached when she should attain her majority, she declared her firm resolve to carry that design into execution ; and for that purpose to | flee from the constant and heartleas tyranny of which she was

ithe vietim. ‘This was the story she told to the Priest; God- appointments of Masters were Conservatives ; and one—whose |

in Heaven alone knows whether it was true; but moved by | her apparent earnestness and strong entreaties, the Priest believed it, and acte] thereupon.*

On the day on which she became of age, and legally her own mistress, ehe appeared at the Seminary, with a carpet bag, and announced that she had left the home-where she bad suffered so long, and so severely for her attachment to the faith ; that she intended at once to put into execution hor long cherished desiza of becoming a Nun ; and implored the pricst not to divulge her secret to ber parents, who would, should they discover her, drag her from her hiding place, and again try to force her to apostacy. Under these circumstances, the Priest introduced her to one of the ladies of the Grey Nunnery ; whither they both immediately pemmeeced : and fron whence. after a hasty breakfast, and without any of the circumstances being communicated either to the Superior of the Grey Nun nery or to any of its inmates, Miss Starr started for the rail- way etation at Point St. Charles, and took the cars for the West. From first to last, the Bishop of Montreal was in per- fect ignorance of the transaction; and his first knowledge thereof was communieated to him by Miss Starr's father.

By this version of the transaction—(which if compelled to do 8, we are prepared to yverify)—it will be seen that the ‘« Startling Abduction’’ at once crumbles to pieces; and that so far from Miss Starr having been the pursued, she was her- self the pursuer; that she, proprio motu, offered herself to the Chureh; that no undue influence was exercised over her ; and that, believing, as he did, the truth of the young lady's story about her flight from the paternal roof because of the eruel domestic persecutions to which she was there exposed, the Priest, in providing her with a temporary refuge with a person of her own sex, was not only guilty of no offence against the laws of God or man, but was acting the part of a good Christian, towards one whom he looked upon as a sufferer for comscience sake. We say a@ ‘‘ femporary refuge ;”” for on leaving Moatreal the young lady declared her design to be, as specdily as possible, to enter a Conyent of Carmelites, and to embrace the religious life.

From Toronto, the young lady, who still professed the reatest dread of being discovered by her parents, proceeded to Toledo, where there is a Convent of the Grey Nunnery, in connection we believe with the establishment of the same name in this city. Here, still urging all around her not to betray her. not to give her up again to her relatives, she remained a few days, waiting for an opportunity to carry out her design of becoming @ Religious ; and here, though, no doubt, a great burden on the Nuns, she was kindly and charitably entertained, until her father, who had discovered,

Again, it is asserted by the Tribune that the new faith was forced upon the young lady, and that she was heartily sick | of it at the time of her rescue. On tho contrary, the father | declares that she conscientiously adopted and retains her new | religion, expressing the hope that she may live the life ofa good Catholic. None but a blockhead would publish in the | same column two euch conflicting statements.

But the Protestant, published in this city, gives another | version of the story, said to be taken from a Canadian paper | of which it conceals the name, and spiced with all that abuse | and misrepresentation of the Catholic Church and its ecclesi- | astics which the most stolid bigotry could devise. According | to this tale, Miss Starr is represented as the victim ofa most heartless intrigue on the part of Bishop and clergy, and that: in being spirited away from the domestic circle she was allowed | to exercise no will of her own. °

Now, we take from the Montreal True Witness—a paper of great influence and respectability—the following narrative of thie so-called abduction case, in which both sides of the story are given, and in which it will be seen the writer pro- fesses his readiness to substantiate his position, that Miss Starr, in seeking « conventual life, acted not only in accordance with her own unbiassed will, but by her unceasing importunity had herself placed in the hands of the sisterhood of the Con- vert at Toledo, after she beeame of age, and when she had a

by means to us at present unknown, the secret of her retreat, introduced himself into the Convent, and carried off his child. Of her subsequent adventures we know nothing ; but every word that we have written above we are fully prepared to substantiate, should we be compelled to do so.

At the same time, our readers will, we are sure, be able to

appreciate the motives which, for the present, cause the i

pression of the publication of the correspondence already alluded to. It is not a pleasant thing to draw the name of a young lady—against whose fair fame calumny itself dare not utter an insinuation—before the public ; and unless compelled by the repeated unveracities of the Protestant press, and with the view of vindicating the honor of our religious institutions against the malignant aspersions of their unprincipled tra- ducers, we shall certainly refrain from anything which might give pain either to the young lady, or her relatives. But if the lie—that the young lady was pursued, hunted down, and finally carried away by Romish priests and Religious—be persisted in, then every consideration must yield to the neces- sity of repelling such an unfounded and damaging attack upon those, who, in the eyes of Catholics, are from their sacred eharacter as much entitled to respect from every man of honor as a member of the other sex.

Since writing the above, we have seen a letter from Mr. Starr, published by the Commercial Advertiser, which full acquits his Lordship the Bishop of Montreal of all knowledge of the affair whose details are above given. If Mr. Starr would but make further enquiries, he would find that, how- ever painful to his feelings the flight of his daughter may

family.

The Priest listened to her attentively ; |

her reputation would be safe from the attacks of a wicked and | censorious world.

We shall only add to this statement two very short ex-| to the voluntary or conscientious spirit in which nis daughter | adopted the Roman Catholic faith; and, in the second, re- | lieves the Bishop of Montreal from the imputativn of deceiving | the parents of the young lady, and placing her be yond the | reach of their authority. Mr. Starr says :—

‘* Her parents have no desire that she should renounce her new religion. She is now of age, and capable of judging for herself ; and as she conscientiously believes her newly-adopted faith is the true one, we, her parents, can only pray that she may live the life of a devout and holy Catholic.”’

‘* In your remarks this morning, there is an indirect hint that the Bishop of Montreal was among those who deceived me. I belieye, on the contrary, that his Lordskip was him- self most egregiously decvived by others; for he took great pains to discover where my daugliter was secreted, and at all hours was ready to receive my visits, and to aid m> to the ex- tent of his power.’’

On Saturday afternoon, Mra. Macready gave a Reading at the Hospital for the Insane. A number of visitors from the city and Dartmouth were present. The reading was given in one of the corridors on the second floor. About 15 female and 12 male patients were placed in front seats, close to the speaker. There are about 48 persons under treatment in the Hospital, but it was not thought advisable to bring the remainder forward. Theselections were mostly of a humorous neture. ‘The programme consisted of—‘*The Boy and the Angel ;’’ ** The Lady's request to her lover ;’’ ‘ The Nan- tucket Skipper ;’’ ** The City Beau ;’’ ‘ The Candidate for Office ;*” ** Kathleen Mavourneen ;"* ** The Search Warrant,” and a scene from the ‘* School for Scandal.’’ The reading we need not refer to further than to say that it was in Mrs. M’s. best style. The effect on the patients was very striking. The whole of those present were perfectly in order, two or three of the females evinced listlessness, but the remainder appeared to enjoy the entertainment very much, particularly the humourous parts. At the close three cheers were given for Mrs. Macready ; who, after a short stay at the Asylum, visited the fine grounds of the Hon. John E. Fairbanks. The perfect quiet of the patients at the readings was similar, we are informed, to the experience on such occasions in Asylums in other places.

This evening, as will be seen by advertisement, Mrs. Mac- ready announces ‘* An Evening with the Irish Poets.’’ Awong the selections are pieces from the pens of Moore, Lover and Gerald Griffin. ‘Two scenes from Sheridan Knowles’s ‘‘ Love Chace’* will also be given at the close, in which a rich treat may be expected, as Mrs. M. is always perfect, and always sure to delight her audience in dramatic representation.— Halifax Sun.
