NAPOLEON AND THE ROMAN Q UESTION. France is weary of being governed by a mute and mysterious sphinx, said, the other day, one of the boldest of the French papers; and it spoke the truth. France under Napoleon, at the present moment, is like a sensitive man under the infliction of a blister ; the irritation is universal, though the causes which produce it are various. France, in a word, is de prived of the chief benefits of peace by the per petual fear of war, and of the chief good of war —the desire or the necessity of keeping peace. And such a state of things France owes to the uncertain policy of Napoleon, vacillating between what he desires and what he fears to attempt. In his statesmanship there is no great principle, no grand idea, no high sense of duty, no deep love of country. Ills policy is a clever contrivance, which up to a certain point has been hitherto successful ; in his own dominions lie plays off one party against another ; he feeds and flatters the masses, and offers luxurious and loose living to the rich. His foreign policy has been directed on the whole to foster revolution, so as to make it an instrument in his hands to extend the influence of France. Now, however, he begins to find the Revolution is too much for him. The slave has become the master. In Germany it has helped to destroy Austria's power and to strengthen Prussia ; in Italy it threatens to trample under foot a Convention to which Napoleon is pledged before Europe. Speaking of Mexico, M. Thiers said " Napoleon cannot afford another such blunder." To be driven out of Mexico by the threats of America, to be checkmated in Germany by Bismarck, to be out witted in Italy by Garibaldi, are humiliations and reverses which a sensitive and high-spirited nation like France will not long endure in a ruler like Napoleon. The disaffection in France is wide-spread. Na poleon relies for his chief support not on the bourgeoisie of Paris, nor on the speculators on the Bourse, but on the army and on the masses of the population, both in the towns and in the rural districts. Peace, for the sake of commerce and the finances, or for the sake of luxury and ease, is not a popular cry in France. The reverses in Mexico —the humiliations which Bismarck has inflicted on the vainglory of the nation, by depriving Napoleon of the leadership of the Continent—have by no means disposed the majority of Frenchmen tamely to acquiesce in seeing the authority of France set at nought by Italy, or to suffer the last indignity of witnessing the Convention signed by Napoleon torn in shreds by the soldiers of Victor Emmanuel. Self-love, as well as love for the Pope, is the cause of the excitement which the Roman question is now raising in France. In regard to the Roman question, parties in France may be roughly divided into three classes. First, the Bonapartists, pure and simple, and all those who live and fatten on the public money,— and such a vast administrative machine as the pre sent French Government has an enormous army of devoted hangers-on, dispersed in every province, city, and township of the land. Secondly-, the Catholic party, which is by far the most wide spread, and the most influential, by reason of their numbers. They are under the influence of a most zealous clergy and of a bold and united episcopate. The devotion of the Catholics of France to the Pope is beyond question. It is a power which neither Emperor, King, nor Republic can safely venture to leave out of calculation. Then there is the third party, which hates Napoleon as much as it does the Pope. This is the party of the Re volution, active, energetic, and noisy, which desires to see a socialistic republic established in Rome as a prelude to the triumph of a godless republicanism in Paris. Of these three large sections of French society, the two first, though for different motives, are opposed to the Italian invasion of Rome. The first, which counts among its adherents the army, out of respect for the flag of France, which morally covers the patrimony of St. Peter, and out of regard for the permanence of the dynasty. The second, which comprises large masses of the population, the clergy, and many of the higher classes, out of devotion to the Pope and to religion. This division of opinion is seen in the vacillat ing conduct of Napoleon at this critical juncture. Had he been determined to support the temporal power of the Pope, and to enforce the observance of the Convention of September, one resolute word spoken in time would have forced the Italian Government to have prevented, during the last three months, the public enrolment of recruits for Garibaldi's army of invasion, and all the various preparations which havd taken place under the nose of the authorities, civil and military, for an attack upon the Papal territories. A word spoken now in earnest would lead at once to the stopping on the frontier, by a vigilant and effective inter ference of the Italian army, of those constant sup plies in men, arms, and ammunition, which can alone hinder the Garibaldian invaders, now in the Roman territory, from being driven out by the Papal army ; or, in case the Italian Government is really powerless against the Revolution from which it sprung, and which it has fostered so unjustly, to the landing of a French army at Civita Vecchia. But if this word be not spoken ; if the Italian army be allowed, in direct violation of the Con vention, to invade the States of the Church, under pretext of putting down an invasion permitted and encouraged by the Italian Government, such a subterfuge would not shelter Napoleon from the obloquy which so mean and dishonourable a treachery would be certain to excite throughout the whole of Catholic France. It seems almost impossible that Napoleon, so astute in gauging public opinion, should add such a political blunder to those which have recently given rise to doubts, if not as to his sanity, at least as to the survival of his political sagacity. We believe that the word will be spoken though late, and forced as it were reluctantly out of a regard, not to the Pope but to French honour, that the Con vention of September shall be observed at all cost. By his manner of acting he will seek to conciliate the Revolution, and by the act itself, the Catholics of France. But if the word be not spoken—if Roman terri tory be annexed in spite of the Convention, and of the honour of France and of justice, then mis chief is loose and Napoleon means war. By an immediate war with Prussia, with the aid of Italy, the Emperor of France may hope to cover the disgrace and perfidy of sacrificing Rome to the Revolution, and seek to drown in blood the out• rage committed against Catholic Europe. Victory, he imagines, and the annexation of the Rhine, will compensate for any wrong ; but in such a case God grant that the victory may not be his.— West minster Gazette. ADDRESS OF THE AUSTRLIN BISHOPS TO THE EMPEROR OF AUSTRIA. The twenty-five archbishops and bishops assem bled in Vienna have presented to the Emperor an address which fills not fewer than sixteen columns of the Yolks freund. The princes of the Church defend the Concordat with admirable precision and learning against the attacks incited by the Jews. They begin by taking an historical survey of the origin of the Concordat. We select from this im portant document some of the most important parts. It begins by pointing out the motives which have induced the enemies of the Church to attack the Concordat : Wl.eu Charles Alb, rt desired to make use of Austria', internal difficulties to carry out plans which ho had long entertained to justify his violation of the peace, he brought forward, among other things, the shameful oppression which the Church suffered in Austria, and that to free her was a noble and holy work. When in the year 1855 the Concordat appeared, the leaders of the Italian Revolution weighed well its whole purport. They saw they were deprived of a weapon of which they had hitherto made such zealous use. Theywere also under the appre hension that the Catholic feeling would operate powerfully against the artificial hatred they had excited against Austria ; yet, as masters in the arts of revolution, they quickly altered their plan. All the initiated were ordered to cast suspicion and mis trust on the Concordat. Whoever praised was a plete the slavery friend of Austria, and left to com of their country. In the year 1857 the revolution again descended into the streets, and gained a vic tory at Brussels over the Government and the representatives of the people. The revolt was, however, as all Europe knows, the work o an asso ciation which, in Belgium, is no secret one, but openly professes hostility against Christianity. Those of a like mind in Germany took fresh courage ; they began now to take the Mazzinists as models, and as the latter, in the name of patriotism, these in the name of Liberalism raised a cry for the revocation of the Concordat. But this opposition was isolated and weak, when the year 1859 brought on new complications. The great majority of Germans justly recognised that duty, honour, and prudence forbade the States of the German Confederation to leave Austria alone in the ensuing struggle. The leaders of the political and social revolution shared only in part these views ; but they were unanimous in seeking to turn the true expression of public opinion to their own purpose, and demanded, as a reward for their sympathy, which, however, was not confirmed by deeds, that Austria should re-model, according to the views of a part of the South German press and popular leaders, her institutions, and especially the relation of the State to religion and morality. Then it was that the Concordat was made one of the passwords behind which a whole system lurks. The Address then goes on to show that the state of civil and moral desolation led to the conviction that a return was necessary to higher religious and political principles, in order to save the Empire and society from the storm. Then it was that the Concordat was concluded. It then goes on to state : That communication with the Holy See was permitted in spiritual matters. Protestant Powers even had already taken this step, for it was uni versally recognized that the dangers which were supposed to attend free communication with the Pope were mere scarecrows. Moreover, in the pre sent state of things it is impossible that a letter should be sent to Rome and an answer received. The bishops were empowered to publish their Pas toral letters and ordinances without beforehand seek ing the permission of the State. Again, by the provisions of the Concordat, the bishops are at liberty to perform Divine service and arrange all spiritual matters simply according to the laws of the Church, who, however, has a right to complain that the State has abstained from arranging the order of Divine service. These petty interferences bear the impress of a past period, and nobody now fancies that the public weal is threatened because a High Mass is celebrated on a week day without the permission of Government. On education the Coricordat has instituted no new arrangement in Austria. The ordinances re ferring to education did not go beyond the existing rights. The management and supervision of popular schools were always entrusted to the parish priests. The rights of your Majesty were in nowise dimi nished. Your Majesty nominates nearly all the archbishops and bishops of your vast empire, most of the canons, very many of the parish priests, and the professors of the theological faculties. The property of the Church cannot, without your Ma jesty's permission, be either alienated or burdened with heavy charges, for the Imperial sanction is requisite for the validity of such acts. Although ecclesiastical and educational funds are property of the Church, yet their management is left to the Government, on condition that it should be con ducted with the co-operation and under the super vision of the bishops. The rights appertaining to the Monarch are not weakened but confirmed by the provisions of the Concordat. Whence, then, this outcry against the Concordat? The Concordat is attacked in the same manner as an enemy at tacks the bulwark of a fortress, not for the pleasure of seeing it overthrown, but in order to penetrate into the city, and to rule there according to good pleasure. The war against Christianity is nothing new ; to every one who is not quite ignorant the arts and passwords of the enemy are familiar ; they are but repetitions of what has so often happened before. The equality of all religions is proclaimed in the name of religion, and put in practice under invoca tion of tolerance. But the initiated have long ago confessed that the tolerance which they demand means the destruction of religion. Sensuality alone is true and real. That is the pith of their secret belief. Every religion is a dream, and the manner in which it is to be treated depends mainly on the power it possesses of opposing the triumph of a soulless and a godless reason. The Catholic religion, therefore, must be put down below every other, because it is the only one which is still to be feared. This putting down of the Catholic religion is what is called tolerance, and by virtue of this tolerance the Catholic Church' is attacked day by day in Catholic Austria by calumnies and by popular incitements, the hundreth part of which no one would dare to utter against Protestants or Jews. But freedom from the control of religion is of little value without freedom from the control of duty. Therefore marriage is to be sacrificed to the play of the passions ; its dissolubility is to be decreed. In order to have a people as the Liberals of Austria desire, they must begin from the beginning. Therefore they decree the pos session of the schools, in order that Catholic youth shall no more be brought up as Catholics or as Christians. All this, however, is utterly opposed to the Austrian laws, even as they existed before the Concordat. The Liberals believe they can get rid of the laws if the treaty which the State had entered into were not in the way ; hence this arti ficial outcry is raised against the Concordat. After producing evidence to show that Austria granted far more to non-Catholics than any non- Catholic Government gives to Catholics, the bishops then pass on to the chief points in dispute—To mixed marriages and to the education of children born of such marriages. On mixed marriages they speak as follolvs :—ln many respects the ordinances which are now in force on marriage are almost coeval with Christianity. Even in the most ancient times it was requisite that marriage should be solemnized in the presence of the Chris tian congregation ; it received its consecration and was sealed, as it were, by the holy sacrifice of the Mass. Publicity and the Church's consecration of marriage were enforced by a long series of laws, which were to a certain extent very severe. It was, however, impossible to enforce these ordinances as a universal and unconditional law of the Church ; even now it cannot be done ; even now there are hundreds of thousands of Catholics who are living dispersed among men of other persuasions, who with the best will are unable to be married in the presence of a priest ; and before Christianity had attained to complete dominion in the whole of Europe such circumstances prevailed, even in dis tricts not far from the centre of Catholic life. This is the explanation why in the sixteenth cen tury these ordinances concerning the publicity and consecration by the Church of marriage had only the character of prohibitions, and hence it was that a simple declaration on the part of a man and a woman without witnesses of the intention of marry ing, in so far as no impediment to its validity existed, was a true marriage recognized as valid by the Church. But this state of things was not with out lamentable consequences. For a man without honour or conscience might contract a marriage with a woman in secret, and then by denying the decla ration he had made of his intention to marry, contract marriage with another. This second marriage, however solemnly it might have been contracted and consecrated, was, nevertheless, invalid, and the man who had broken his faith was living in adultery. Therefore, after long con sultations, the Fathers of the Council of Trent resolved to make secrecy an impediment to a marriage, and to declare marriage to be invalid unless it were contracted in the presence of the priest of the parish to which one of the parties to the marriage belonged, or to a priest empowered by the bishop, and of two witnesses. It is understood, as a matter of course, that the bride and bridegroom, who, in the presence of a priest, have declared their desire to be mar ried, are bound devoutly to receive the nuptial blessing, which is, indeed, expressly prescribed. Yet its omission, from whatever cause, is not alone sufficient to hinder the validity of the marriage. • There is, without doubt, a legitimate right that THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 21, 1867. all matters in which religion is concerned should be treated according to religious principles. The State, nevertheless, has the power to permit or not to permit the civil effects of matrimony ; but it does not possess the power to give and withhold its permission at the same time. Catholics are convinced that by virtue of a Divine ordinance an accomplished marriage is in dissoluble ; but Protestants hold that marriage is dissoluble. The non-Catholic believes that it may be dissolved on account of adultery. According to the strict law the innocent party only was per mitted to contract a new marriage ; but this distinction has been long given up. In mar riages between a Catholic and a non-Catho lic the case may arise that the non-Catholic may wish for a separation which is not for bidden by the principles of his religion. The Legislature is bound, therefore, to decide either that the civil effects of a mixed marriage can only be removed by death, or make their continuance de pend on the decision of a judge who acts according to the principles of the non-Catholic party to the marriage. The Austrian Legislature adopted the first alternative, and declared mixed marriages to be indissoluble, and, in doing so, it has acted in accordance with the demands of justice and with the regard which is due to the principles of moral ity. For the Catholic marriage is a union which death alone can dissolve ; but, if the non-Catholic husband has the right to break the bond as soon as a change comes over his inclinations, such a right would establish a violent inequality of right between two persons, to whom even heathen Rome considered belonged a community of all things, divine and human. Were there a conflict of duty in the matter, then, indeed, the difficulty would be great, but such is not the case. The non-Catholic Greek is in nowise commanded by his religion to marry again in a case of adultery happening ; it only permits him to do so ; and it would be revolting in the extreme were he to be guilty of adultery, and by that act acquire the right to dissolve the bond which united him to a Catholic woman. Between Catholics and Pro testants the difference in regard to the idea of marriage is very great. All Catholics, and also non- Catholic Greeks, Armenians, and Syrians, as well as the Monophysites and Nestorians who left the Church in the fifth century, acknowledged mar riage as a sacrament of the New Testament. But Martin Luther calls marriage an outward worldly thing like food, clothes, or house and farm. Nevertheless, the Christian sentiment survived in the communities of his persuasion, and even in himself. Thus, although Protestants denied that marriage was a sacrament, and subjected it to the civil law, and maintained its dissolubility, yet the duties of marriage were held sacred and honoured, and as long as this respect continued both law and custom look upon divorce with disfavour, and restricted the right as much as possible. But now things have changed. In weighing these reasons the scales are not even ; in fixing the dissolubility of marriage for the Protestant side preference of the principle of dissolubility is given over that of indissolubility. A Protestant Government follows in this matter the principles laid down by its religion. The Aus trian Government has no such excuse. In France, for the sake of the inviolability of a great prin ciple, Protestants even are constrained to contract no marriages among themselves but such as are of an indissoluble character. The Emperor has sent an autograph letter to the Prince Archbishop of Vienna, Cardinal ltauscher, in reply to the address of the Austrian prelates respecting the Concordat. The letter is as follows : —" The address forwarded to me by the arch. bishops and bishops I have handed over to my re sponsible Ministry. I willingly appreciate the pastoral zeal and the well-meaning intentions which made it appear to the bishops to be a matter of conscience, to stand forward again, as in 1819 and in 1861, with a solemn declaration in favour of the preservation of the rights and interests of the Catholic Church. Yet I must complain that instead of supporting, in accordance with my wishes, the earnest endeavours of the Government in Church questions, and instead of advancing their most pressing solution in a spirit of mutual conciliation, the bishops have preferred to increase the difficul ties of the task at a time when, as they themselves very correctly remark, unity is so necessary to us ; when it is so urgently enjoined upon us not to add to the cause of dissension and complaints. I trust that the bishops will be convinced that I shall at all times protect and shelter the Church ; but I trust that they will also remember the duties which I, as a constitutional ruler, have to per form." powers from the consent of the governed. Consent in a Republic is signified by suffrage ; women are governed, therefore they have a right to signify their consent, and therefore they have a right to vote." It is unfortunately characteristic of American prominent public men to express opinions regarding , the most elevated of their fellow-citizens in lan guage which is more unbecoming to them than to those they denounce. When betrayed in the warmth of :debate into what is termed in England " unparliamentary language," they ought at least to avoid it when writing their opinions to a news paper. Speaker Colfax has addressed a letter to the Chicago tribune, which can only tend to bring the great assembly he represents as Speaker into disrepute. Mr. Johnson is the elected Head of the Nation. Mr. Colf.tx, who occupies the same posi tion in America as the Speaker of the House of Commons in England, considered there the first Com moner, does not hesitate to pen this long-winded sen tence :—" That was pretty near what 1 said ; but, at a time like this, men who are in public life desire to be judged on their exact positions. May I ask brief space in your columns to say that I counted the days till Congress would again meet, because in 20 days after that time Edwin M. Stanton would go back again to the War Department, in spite of the malignant President who sought to expel him from the position in which he had served the country so faithfully; that when Congress resumed its legisla tive authority the House, in accordance with the de mands of the loyal masses throughout the land, would be required to place the President before the tribunal provided by the constitution, to defend himself there from the charges of persistent usurpa tions, and persistent violations of the oath which requires him to take care that the laws shall be faithfully executed; and that, while I did not believe Mr. Johnson dared to fulfil the threats against Congress, now being made by his Washington organs, apparently in his name, yet whoever did dare to destroy the legislative depart ment of the Government by revolutionary force, whether President, Cabinet Minister, or citizen, would be tried for his treason, and punished as a traitor with his feet, not like the traitors of the recent re bellion, on the earth, but in the air." Every one knows that such talk is only talk, that the United States as a nation is less inclined to take vengeance on those it deems to be politic.•l enemies than any other; carrying, indeed, their forgiveness of grave crimes almost to a fault. It is a pity, then, that the nobility of their generosity should be marred by such language. To understand General Logan's denunciation it should be remembered that the President is ex officio Commander-in-Chief. In a recent speech at Cincinnati, the General declared that the President " ought to be impeached, and hurled from the White House as the devil was hurled over the battlements of heaven." Secretary M'Culloch has written a letter, reiter ating his belief in the national Government being pledged to the payment of the 5-20 United States Bonds in coin ; that the bonds arc not to be called in at the expiration of the five year term from their dates of issue, and that Congress will not be asked to make further issues of legal tender. These statements are in reply to General Butler, to Mr. Pendleton, and other agitators, but the only reply that will really meet the circumstances is an act of Congress finally settling the question. G. W. Belding, of the firm of Messrs. Belding, Keith, and Co., 60, Lombard-street, London, now in New York, has written to the editor of the Wall-street Journal, calling attention to the in jury the discussion will do to the 5-20 Bonds in the markets of Europe. He states that he has been constantly advised that whatever may be the doubts as to the redemption of the 1862 issue in gold there can be none as to that of 1865, it being fully and expressly provided for in the act. Mr. Belding supposes that the question is one to be settled by lawyers and judges, but in this we believe he is in error. Either all will be paid in gold or none, for whatever mistake the nation may make they are not likely to commit the folly of making two bites of a cherry. If thJ stigma of repudiation is to attach to the United States it I will be purchased by no partial measure. It is said that the East will always be oppose l to any paring of the National Debt, as three-fourths of it are held in these States; but the West would in truth be the greater losers, for it is the West that more especially invites the capital of Europe, and would most benefit by its introduction ; and we maintain, and always have maintained, that any failure Of the Government fully to meet its engagements would annihilate confidence, and effectually bar the flow of capital, however tempting the prospect of gain. prominent William C. Sturoc, of Sunapee, a lawyer, has lately been brought before the Supreme Cou:t at Newport, New Hampshire, for having written an article in a local newspaper to influence (as alleged) the juror in a pending case. Judge Bellows interrupted Mr. Sturoc when ho commenced his argument iii his defence by re ferring the case to the full bench. A seduction case tried at Troy, New York, had so curious a result that it is worth telling. James B. Hoyt was prosecuted for seducing Sarah M. Low under promise of marriage. The case came on on Monday, the S3d ult., and ended on Wednesday, the 25th. A witness for the defence endeavoured to establish the unchaste character of the girl, but signally failed, when Mr. Hoyt found himself in a bad way. Iu this dilemma ho took the bull by the horns, through his counsel offering marriage. Miss Low accepted the offer notwithstanding the opposi tion of her friends, and then and there the slippery young gentleman had the nuptial knot tied by the Itev. Dr. Bald win. We hops Mrs. Hoyt may have no cause hereafter to regret her confidence. Mrs. Sumner, the wife of the celebrated Senator, has left for Europe, her husband remaining in America. Governor M'Cormic k of Arizona delivered his September 9. It is the Indian troubles. mostly annual occupied nes The Governor thinks tha t the territor y should be made a sage wtoiththaediLsceugsissiloantuoref, separate military department, calls for more troops, urges the necessity of putting the Indians on reservations, and employing a s ufficient force to keep them there in peace. Good machinery is needed for the development of the mineral wealth of the territory. The public indebted ness is 528,375 in currency. The agricultural prospects are excellent. Ash White, Secretary to the Indian Peace Com mission, arrived at Washington, September 25, from North Platte, Nebraska. Professor Hopkins, of Williams College, Massa chusetts, has given the College Scientific Club a beautiful tract of land for a college park. His son, Col. Archibald Hopkins, has resigned his position in Virginia and returned to Williamstown. Senator Pomeroy, ex-Governor Robinson, Eliza beth Cady Stanton, and Susan B. Anthony, addressed a mass convention at Lawrence, Kansas, on the 25th ult., when resolutions were passed to support the temperance law and female suffrage. Mr. Cleaver, the new delegate to Congress from New Mexico, has been elected on local issues. General Rousseau and Mr. Dodge, revenue col lector, Alaska, have reached San Francisco, and were about to proceed to Sitka. S. B. Axtell, member of Congress elect, from the San Francisco district, is on his way to New York. William J. Kirtley, the billiard marker at the Union Hotel, Saratoga, who shot J. Theodore Jones, the Hudson (New Jersey) gaol keeper, has been convicted of manslaughter in the second degree, and sentenced to im- prisonment. . Judge Grant and four lawyers of Nashville, Tennessee, have given an opinion that the city elections ought to be held under the provisions of the City Charter, and the Conservative party intend to try this question in the courts against, Governor Brownlow. Governor Brownlow is now ambitious of repre senting Tennessee iu the United States Senate. If ho succeeds Mr. De Witt Seater will act as Governor, and the state be relieved from the dread kept alive by the fire brand. Brownlow's ►oars will be more subdued in that august assembly than. when screauiiag in the wilds of Tennessee. United States Marshal Goodloe edits the Raleigh Register, which loads the wing of the North Carolina Union party that may bo termed Conservative Republican. The Radical wing is led by ex-Governor Holden, and advocates confiscation and a more general disfranchise ment. The death of S. B. Colby, Register of the Trea sury, has left the office open, and brought in crowds of applicants. Colonel John A. Graham, the assistant, will act as Register until the appointment of a successor. Complete returns of the Calfornia vote for Go vernor foot up 92,108, of which Haight, Democrat, re ceived 49,856 ; Gorham, regular Republican, 40,252 ; and lay, Independent, 2,000. Haight's majority over Gorham is 9,601, but the average Democratic majority is scarcely more than half this figure. Senator Sumner must be making a big thing of his small talk if the New York Cia.zen is correctly Wormed. That paper says that he has 29 engagements to lecture in the West at $2OO each, which he will complete before the meeting of Congress in November. We are not surprised that he remained in America while his wife wont on to Europe. Captain Robert H. n'hyman, commanding the United States war vessel T iconderoga, arrived at South ampton on Monday morning. A proclamation has been issued by Acting Governor E. E. Smith, of Montana Territory, offering a reward of $l,OOO foi the recovery of the body of the late Governor Meagher. An apparatus, invented and patented by Mr. J. H. Whito, of San Francisco, for using petroleum for steam purposes, has proved successful. Whether it bo better than the inventions already patented in the Eastern States remains to bo proved. Senator Roscoe Conkling presided over the New York Republican State Convention at Syracuse on the 25th ult. The following State officers wore nominated : For Secretary of State, General M'Kean, of Saratoga ; for Comptroller, Calvin T. Hulburd, of St. Lawrence; for State Treasurer, General T. C. Gatos, of Ulster; for At torney-General, Judge Van Cott, of Brooklyn ; for State Engineer, A. C. Powell, of Onondaga; for Canal Com missioner, John W. Hammond, Alleghany. The Senator spoke in support of Mr. Stanton, and demanded the impeach ment of the President. The Convention praise Congress, support Stanton, denounce the removal of Sickles and Sheridan, indorse Governor Fenton (who was elected for two years), and give the following as the watchwords of the party :—National reconstruction through liberty and justice; State repose through integrity and industry. Governor Brownlow, of Tennessee, had 74,484 votes against 22,550 for Etheridge, giving him a majority of 51,934. James G. Brady has brought a suit against Major Hoffman, the Comptroller, City Chamberlain, and other officers, in the New York Court, for defrauding the city by contracts in connection with the street department. The special correspondent of the New York Citi zen at Albany, writing Sept. 19, 1867, says :—" The Con vention has been favoured with an influx of distinguished visitors this week. Governor Curtin spent a few days in the city, and was upon the floor several times. Lord Camperdown—a pleasant, courtly young gentleman of about 25 years of age, and who is counted as one of the Liberals—was the guest of some of the delegates yester day. To-day the Earl of Morley, a member of the House of Lords, and Mr. Cooper, a stepson of Lord Palmerston and a member of the House of Commons—both of them young men—were interested observers of the slowest pos sible way to make a new Constitution. Doubtless they appreciated the benefits of a written instrument over the unwritten constitution of their kingdom." General Dwight Morris, who distinguished him self as the leader of a fighting brigade during the Ameri can war, has returned from his visit to the United States, and resumed his duties as Consul at. Havre. General Garfield and wife are now in Paris. General Garfield, who is a leading member of Congress, and a member of the important Committee of Ways and Means, was, a distinguished soldier of tho war for the Union. Senator Doolittle, of Wisconsin, left for New York by tho Ville do Paris on the 12th inst. His colleague, Senator Howe, is now in Germany, and will not return to America before December.- We learn from a gentleman who .has , been fa voured with the perusal of letters from Senator Morrill, of Vermont, Hons. E. B. Washburne, J. G. Blaine, and ox- Governor Curtin, addressed to IL. Gibbs, Esq., of Paris, that they have all reached home safely. Messrs. Wash burne, Blaine, and Curtin, who visited Europe for the re covery of their health, state that they have received great benefit from the journey. Deputy Commissioner Messmore, of New York, has been removed by Secretary 141.‘Oulloch. Colonel Messmore was involved, it is alleged, in the fraudulent transactions of the Kentucky Bourbon Whisky Company, of which his brother was treasurer. Paul Bagley continues his efforts to procure the pardon of Jefferson Davis. In a Montreal paper he gives a long conversation ho had with Johnson on the subject. Ile maintains that the South is kept embittered by Mr. Davis's troubles, though the South do not seem to respond to Mr. Bagley's assertion, if the difficulties ho has described be true as arising from his want of funds while travelling on this business. The Hon. Henry Howard, attaché of the British Legation at Washington, was married, on the 2d instant, to Cecilia, only daughter of the wealthy banker, George W. Riggs, of Washington. Mr. Howard is son of her Majesty's Minister at Munich. Thomas W. Sweeny, lately Fenian Secretary of War, after being restored to his rank in the Federal service, has been suspended from his duty and command for six months, by sentence of a court-martial for misappropriation of public fund, and property. The sentence adds a severe reprimand in, general orders. The bodies of the assassin Booth and the other conspirators have been exhumed and buried outside the prison walls, all tho coffins being placed in one trench.

Every thing to her is so funny, so wild, se new and strange ; then she luxuriates in such sensations, such mud, such streets, such thoroughly French-looking, and such un-English dainty, fantastically dressed, sweet delicate, refined little ladies. The writer differs so widely, however, from Hop worth Dixon on one point, on which she, as a lady, ought to be judge, that we quote the passage :—" Anything so in tensely polite as the Americans I never saw. Their polite ness seems ingrained and natural with the lowest people. Talk of the French ! I never was among a nation who were not bears in comparison with these. You always get a civil, amiable answer. They all do all they can for you ; and as to a lady she is a perfect queen. Old or ugly, gentle or simple, men leave their seats in the street cars for them; and I believe one might have anything she liked." What becomes of Mr. Dixon's theory that polite ness is born of the Elst, and the further the traveller pro coeds West, the greater is the distance he leaves it behind ?

He will commence his " Readings" in America the first week in December. The Rev. Newman Hall, of Surrey Chapel, Lon don, is lecturing in America. The Pall Mall Gazette reviews Critical and Social Essays reprinted from the New York Nation, in a favourable strain. Tho Nation, the writer considers, has done much to show "that American journalism may attain a far higher level than that to which we have been hitherto accustomed. It is written by men of ability for a cultivated audience, and is free from those appeals to popular ignorance and prejudice which deface the pages of most of its contemporaries." "The subjects of some of the essays may be inferred from their titles, e.g., ' Critics and Criticism,' 'Clergymen's Salaries,' `Popularizing Science,' The Good Old Times,' Waste," Dress and its Critics,' the ' Social Influence of the National Debt,' American Reputations in England,' do. &c. At the same time that the critic gives a meed of praise, he adds that these essays aro far from equal in polish and brilliancy of expression to the better writing of the paper which it has taken for its model, the Saturday Review. The essay selected for comment by the Pall Mall is one entitled, "Why have we no Saturday Reviews?" The Nation gives two reasons, "First, that there is nobody to read the papers; and, secondly, that there is nobody to write them." Tho critic says this must not bo taken too literally. " There are many educated people in America who are capable of enjoying a high class of literature, but they are spread over a far wider area, and there is no literary metropolis with a concentration of intellec tual activity. One mode in which this works is not at first sight obvious, and the remarks of the Nation upon it would probably require some correction. The Saturday Review, it says, receives a large revenue from advertise ments, although its circulation is such as in America would be considered very small. In America, on the other hand, advertisements are only paid for in proportion to the circulation of the paper. Tho reason is that it is worth while in England to pay highly for a chance of reaching the eyes of a class which, though comparatively small, is at once cultivated and wealthy. A journal of a similar kind in America would be a bad place for advertising, because all traders in a country where society is democratic depend rather upon extensive sales at a low price than upon few sales at high prices ; and because, moreover, the cultivated class which such a paper would reach is by no means the richest class. Hence, if the American paper were to put upon its advertisements a price such as the Saturday Review can command it would either be laughed at or have to receive them as a great favour, probably accompanied by a request for a supplementary puff in the weekly columns, such as religious weeklies afford to good customers.' " But though the Nation is un doubtedly right in its assertion that the circulation of the Saturday Review and Spectator together in the United States does not equal 500 copies, this is no conclusive proof that the style of literature is not enjoyed. Sound reasoning beautifully expressed may bo attractive, but the subjects must interest to secure buyers. If the Saturday Review was written in New York, and therefore mainly on American topics, embodying American ideas, its circulation would, wo feel sure, be far larger than its cir culation in England. The success of the Nation, and, still more, the success of a paper to which there is a closer resemblance, the Round Table, proves this. Another either has or is about to be started, when New York will be fairly supplied by these literary journals. Taste iu America is rapidly improving. Naturally the people are more refined than in England. What they require to develope a high order of art, of science, and of writers, is leisure. This they do not allow themselves, indeed it is opposed to the habits engendered in a new country, but the Eastern States are growing o ld w ith a rap idity th e E ng li s h mind can scarcely realise. We give the concluding remarks of the writer:—" The existence of the Nation itself seems to prove that it is possible for a journal of a really high class to thrive very satisfactorily in New York. The remaining essays in this volume, which we have not space to exa mine in more detail, show abundant common sense and sound principle, expressed in excellent English. If they are not polished quite up to the Saturday Review pitch, they are nevertheless very good reading of the kind, and much in advance of anything that we have seen in other Ame rican papers. We sincerely wish that the Nation may go on and prosper, and that its example may result in raisiag the standard of American journalism." 11IE BISHOP OF SALFORD ON FENLEVIS3L The following pastoral, by the Rev. Dr. Turner, Bishop of Salford, was read on Sunday in all the churches and chapels of the diocese of Salford : To our Brethren the Clergy and Laity of the Diocese of Salford. health and .Benediction in the Lord. Under the present aspect of affairs we think thai we ought to address a few words of counsel to you. For many years we have had to lament the lawless spirit of disobedience, insubordination, and independence which is spreading through Europe. Many of the nations on the continent have been overturned. Established forms of government hare been destroyed. Treachery and treason have been encouraged in states, by neighbouring nations for their own advantage. National honour and inter national law have been disregarded. The press of Europe has advocated the legitimacy of revolution as a theory, in opposition to the teaching of th• apostle, and the disobedient and the malcontent of the different countries have avowedly constituted themselves a revolutionary party, or "party of action." In order to promote these objects, societies have been formed, in plan and design like those which constituted the anti-Christian and anti-social con spiracy of the close of last century, whose work was accomplished when religion was overturned and Europe was deluged with blood. These societies are instituted in various countries, they have but one primary object, though their immediate display and action may be different, according to place. Unhappily - , the press and many of the people of our own country have aided and abetted in all these movements. Money has been subscribed to aid the rebellious and revolutionary arms abroad, to the, overthrow of friendly states, and our fellow countrymen have encouraged rebels in other lands to revolt against their legitimate governments. The sacredness of authority, the duty of obedience, and the scriptural Christian idea of loyalty, have been ridiculed in the public prints. The persons and actions•of those in authority have been tra duced, that they might be made odious in the popular mind. The sacred character of the Sove reign Pontiff and the acts of his government have been the especial objects of this revolutionary odium. Within the last few weeks, in this country, and even in this neighbourhood, it is known that large sums of money have been subscribed to enable the lawless faction in Italy to invade his remaining states, to overturn his Government, and spread anarchy amongst his contented subjects. An evil principle advanced and accepted does not rest there. It developer and applies itself to every place and case. Hence, it will not appear strange to a reflecting mind, that people in this country, thus constantly indoctrinated in th ese tenets of lawless insubordination and contempt of authority, should, under any grievance, imaginary or real, have recourse to this teachin g for their rule, and that the revelations which have been made by the Trades' Union Commission, as also the deplorable deed which is now under magisterial investigation in Manchester, have been the result. The latter pains us especially as having happened in our own neighbourhood, and within the limits of the spiritual jurisdiction assigned to us. It pains us because it is the result of those false and anti- Catholic principles which we (deplore, and which have been applied to the supposed interests of a Catholic land, whose long -borne sufferings are now winning the sympathy of the world ; sufferings which can never be alleviated by lawless and sinful deeds. The sufferings and wrongs of Ireland are indeed many and great. The church and religion of her people, so dear to them, long proscribed ; another church and religion attempted to be forced upon them ; the majority, who are poor, left to sup port their own religion, and compelled to pay also for the new religion of the wealthy few, receiving in return only mockery and hostility to their own. A necessary consequence of this is, a fear lest the paying Catholic tenant should gain a power in the country which would enable him to resist legitimately the religious impost laid upon him for the benefit of his landlord. Hence again, that want of fixity of tenure and protection of interest in his holding of which the tenant complains, and that absence of sympathy for him which is called public opinion," and which in England consti tutes so great a check on private oppression and legitimatised severity. Education forms the sub ject of another wrong. It was long forbidden to the nation, and even now its advantages of rank, its honours and emoluments, are denied to the middle and upper classes of the Catholics, unless they be accompanied by a wound of conscience and a disrespect to their own religion. Add to these the popular grievance arising from the causes which compel such an unprecedented abandonment of home, a decrease in their populations of two millions of inhabitants in ten years, and then no one can be surprised that such a condition of affairs should produce wide dissatisfaction in Ireland. Still it can never justify such deeds or courses as those which we deplore. Widespread as that dissatis faction is in Ireland, yet so upright are her people in their native land, that in no other part of Her Majesty's dominions do we read of assizes without a single case of crime for trial. It is to be lamented that the adoption by some of these new and irre ligious theories, so popular here, and their appli cation to this case should have led to so'great a crime. For your part, our beloved clergy, you have only one duty in this matter, namely, to continue to teach your flock obedience to the law of God, as laid down by the Apostle St. Paul in days of per secution and affliction. " Let every soul be sub ject to higher powers ; for there is no power but from God ; and those that are, are ordained of God."—:Rom. xiii., 1. This doctrine of obedience, however unpopular it may be in these days, is that of the religion of Jesus Christ, who became obe dient for us. Continue to teach your flock their duties in society and to society. Impress upon them the sinfulness of belonging to any of those secret and illegal associations which are bound by oaths. They are condemned by the Catholic Church. They have been especially condemned by his present Holiness, and, as you and your flock know, the " faculties " by which you receive your jurisdiction do not allow you to minister the sacraments to those who obstinately adhere to them. Whenever it may happen that your exhortation or advice so fail that you are obliged to refuse the sacraments,—have recourse to Almighty God in prayer for those misled men, that he may arouse them to a sense of the sin in which they are en gaged. Teach them to pursue a legitimate object, the redress of wrongs, the attainment of political rights or the increase of political privileges, by legitimate means, and even when hopes long de ferred sicken and weary the heart, still to commit their cause to the care of Heaven, and to remem ber that " here is the patience of the saints who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus."—Apoc. xiv., 12. "The Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the charity of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen." 2 Cor. xiii., 13. WILLIAM, Bishop of Salford.

If the news by the Java be true, the Government will be prepared to try Mr. Davis on the fourth Monday in November. The Washington correspon. dent of the Standard states—" Underwood has, in conversation with one of Mr. Davis's ad mirers, already delivered judgment. Mr. Davis, Underwood said, would be convicted. lie (Un derwood) should merely impose a fine suffi cient " to take away his (Davis's) Mississippi plan tation." Underwood stated at the same time that he was " opposed to capital punishment." This con versation was related to the President a few days since. Mr. Johnson said, "It was the old fashioned way to try a man before they hanged him. We have a heavy burden to carry in that Confederate President, for we dare neither to try him nor to release him." General Sheridan, no doubt, finds a political I tour much harder work than ruling even in New Orleans. On the 28th ult. he proceeded from Phila delphia to New York ; on the 30th he was serenaded at the Union League Club. On the Ist he went to Brooklyn, the only place where he was refused an official welcome. On the second he was at the races at Paterson, New Jersey. On the 3d he proceeded to Boston, via Rhode Island. At the capital of Massachusetts he was enthusiastically received, a military escort and a torch-light pro cession being formed in his honour. He has pro mised Governor Fenton to visit Albany, and thence he goes to Obio to be present at the wedding of one of his staff. General Sickles remains quietly at New York, and General Hancock is at St. Louis. There was a riot at Savannah, Georgia, on the night of the 30th September. Mr. Bradley, a Bos ton negro lawyer, once very popular among the blacks, but now rather disliked and distrusted, got up a meeting of about a thousand negroes. While he was addressing the assembly, which he did in no measured language, advising the negroes to select their estates, as the lands of the rebels would be divided among them, be was interrupted by some, when a riot ensued, which the military had to quell. It is noticeable that in Richmond the leader of the blacks is strongly opposed to the Republican party, and does all he can to excite the hostility of the negroes against those to whom they owe emancipa tion. Hunnicult may consider, and with some truth, that the measures of the extreme Radicals would in the end be injurious to his fellows. Besides the reports of Cabinet changes which have kept United States politicians in a ferment, it is now stated that the President telegraphed to Gen. Sherman, offering him the Secretaryship of War, and that he had arrived at Washington, and had interviews with—Mr. Johnson and General Grant. The New York Herald supplements this by stating that so►ne prominent Republicans are endeavouring to effect a compromise with Mr. Johnson. It is also reported that Mr. M'Culloch will retire, and Mr. Thomas Ewing succeed to the Secretaryship of the Treasury. The advocates of Woman's Rights ara pushing strongly just now in America for Female Suffrage. The views of Henry Ward Beecher, George William Curtis, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and other well known advocates, have just been published in a small volume by the Equal Rights Association Chief-Justice Chase (after Grant perhaps the most popular candidate for the Presidency) openly ex tends his support.
