EDITOR'S TABLE.
-Tlhe 5th of March, 1864, will long be remembered in the city of New York, as the
day on which the Loyal League women, the
wives of white men, publicly presented a banner to a regiment of negroes, as a memento
(to use- their own words in the presentation
address) " of love and honor from the daughters of this metropolis." We do not call in
question the right of the shameless women
who signed this addresk to give the negroes
any memento they please (their husbands
consenting) of their "love and honor;" but it
is going a little too far, and giving us too
much of an imnpudent thing, when they claim
to offer the negroes the love and honor of the
daughters of this metropolis. It is to be
hoped that there is not in this metropolis another woman to be found who would consent
to make such a public exhibition of her shame.
A few weeks ago, the daughter of an Abolitionist, in Providence, R. I., a white girl,
nineteeff years of age, eloped with a negro
soldier to this city. Her name might, with
propriety, be added to the list of the women
who presented these negroes with a memento
of their "love and honor." We give below a
full list of these women, in order that the record they have made. may be preserved for
future reference. It will be seen that they
are nearly all married women, the wives, we
presume, of white men. We trust the negroes
will drink the health of their husbands. Can
they do less? It is to be hoped that the few
unmarried women who offered their "love
and honor" to the negroes may succeed in
reacling their romantic fancies, and settle
down into connubial bliss with the fragrant
sons of Ethiopia.

-Dr. Tyng, in a late sermon, spared a little space from his general devotion to the
subject of negroes, to the abuse of the Catholies for what he called "the historical cruelty
of their clergy." We wish the combative divine would point to a period in history when
the Catholic clergy manifested anything like
the low, coarse instincts betrayed by the cler.
gy of this country since the commencement
of the Abolition war. In the history of the
most memorable struggle of civilization
against barbarism the Catholic clergy played a conspicuous and, honorable part. In
the centuries that followed the fall of the Roman Empire, and through the dark periods of
