FALSE "NOTES FROM ROME." Give a falsehood sufficient start in time, or suffi cient " law" in distance, and it may prove no slight - work to overtake it in the one case, to confute it in the other. A falsehood coined and uttered afar off may pass current for a time, almost in pro portion to its base metal. The foreign corre spondents of our daily press startle us occasionally with the amazing particularity of their misstate ments. But we do not know when we have met with so precious a collection of untruths so closely packed as in the Pall Mall Gazette of Tuesday evening. That journal produces a Roman letter, dated November 5, professing to detail the battle of Montana. It is worth while to examine its statements, side by side with the official despatches from General Failly, under date of November 7, given by the Timex, of November 11, from Reuter's telegrams ; and with other supplementary docu ments. Parallel columns might exhibit in a striking way this contrast between black and white. Let us try and cast the matter in the form of a dia logue, or statement and counter-statement. " Pall hall's" Roman Correspondent.—lt is only after diligent inquiry that I have come at the facts. General de Courten crossed the Lanventano bridge with 4,000 men and two batteries. This force was followed an hour later by General de Polhes, at the head of 5,000 men and three batteries (eighteen guns). General Rally, ut supra.—The body of troops sent against the Garibaldians consisted of 3,000 Pontifical troops, and 2,000 French. Captain C'acciani (Garibaldian) quoted in the " Unita Cattolica."—The Papal troops, according to the most probable induction, did not amount to 5,000 combatants, - while the volunteers did not exceed 4,000. "Pall Mall's" Roman Correspondent.—Garibaldrs force numbered about 10,000, and was supported by eight pieces of artillery, which had been captured from the Pontificals. Cocker.—Therefore, by your account and Cac ciani's, he out-numbered his opponents by 1,000, and according to the despatches, by 5,000. " Pall Mall:" Article in same number.—Gari baldi's forces were not merely beaten, but utterly defeated, broken up, and destroyed as an organized body, by a force, not much, if at all, superior to them in number. Roman Letter, ut supra.—Garibaldi descended the hills with a large part of his force, and rushed at the Pontificals, attacking them with the bayonet before they could bring up their artillery. Leading Article, ut supra.—They were well posted in a strong position, and gained on several occa sions advantages over the troops which attacked them. They abandoned their position in the course of the night after the action, by which, no doubt, they must have been broken up and demoralized. A Garibaldian present, writing in the "Movimento" of Genoa.—Some important eminences are taken, lost, and re-taken. Meantime, in the open ground of Montana, barricades are formed, in spite of the galling shower of bullets that disturbs the work. Roman Letter.—The Zouaves fought bravely, resisting till the ground was heaped with their dead. General Failly, ut supra.—The loss of the Pon tificals was 20 killed, and 123 wounded. Roman Letter, ut supra.—Garibaldi availed him self of nightfall to retreat to Monte Rotondo, and fell back in good order, carrying off some prisoners, but leaving 200 of his men in the hands of the allies, and the ground covered with his dead and wounded. The Garibaldian in the " Illovimento,” ut supra.— In vain did the officers endeavour to stop them with their sabres and revolvers; in vain did Garibaldi upbraid them with his manly words ; they run, they run, leaving hundreds of their comrades cut off on the open ground of Montana ; leaving Can tone to perish . . . and other brave men whose fate is unknown. Roman Letter.—The Italians, though defeated, may be said to have effaced the disgrace of Cus tozza and Lissa by the battle of Mentana, which, having regard to the numbers engaged, was amongst the most sanguinary of the age, the killed amounting to nearly 2,000, and the wounded ex ceeding that number. General Failly's Despatch.—The Garibaldians left 600 dead on the field of battle, and wounded in proportion. 1,600 prisoners were taken to Rome, and 700 sent back over the frontier. The French loss was two killed and 38 wounded, two of whom are officers. Loss of the Pontificals 20 killed, and 123 wounded. Roman Letter.—Yesterday the entire city went out of Porta Pia to greet these captives, and were met by a long train of the wounded. This melan choly procession was watched by 40,000 specta tors, whose presence alarmed the authorities, and troops were drawn up at the Quirinal, in anticipa tion of a disturbance. But the vast crowd pre served an unbroken silence, only uncovering to the Garibaldians. Failly's Despatch.—The Roman population gave a triumphant welcome to the troops. It really becomes a philosophical study to ascer tain the precise point beyond which • " The force of fiction can no further go." We should have thought the ordinary self-respect by which men usually guide themselves in the relations of life, and in their serious utterances to their fellow-men, would have prevented such an exposure as all this amounts to. Would it not ; have been decorous in the Pall Mall Gazette to allow at least a day's interval between its leading article and its Roman letter—between blowing hot and blowing cold—propounding black to be black, and black to be white ? The Times, with more astuteness, generally gives itself sufficient room to turn about in, and breath enough to pronounce, in the interim, that black is grey. Not always ; for we heard it not long ago describe circumstan tially Cardinal Altieri's retreat from his diocese to Rome for fear of the cholera among his flock, in the same impression which contained an eulogy on Cardinal Altieri's going from Rome to his dio cese, to die of cholera among his flock ! The truth is, editors are very much at the mercy of their " own correspondents," and have need to be de fended from their friends. Rome is a good way off ; we cannot send down " specials " to ascertain what anonymous scribes may assure us of : we take what we can get. Such may be the plea of our brother journalists ; yet we cannot let them off upon it. The inexorable old Stagyrite will not admit ignorance of moral principles in plea for those who fail in the duties of morality. Of that very ignorance, says he, they are themselves the cause, since they have destroyed their own pre cious moral perceptions. And so we hold it to be the first duty of an editor, whose paper will cir culate through an ascertainable sphere, to see that he employs trustworthy channels of informa tion. Ile cannot remain inculpably ignorant, and still print at random. Is it not a truism to say this—What is meant by slander? What moral guilt attaches to us if we adopt and send out through the printing press such brazen falsehoods as those which we have now commented upon ? We have long lived under a Venetian tyranny of anonymous and irresponsible denunciation. The hocca di Hone is set up in our Printing-house squares. Rather let us say, the British lion him self stands with his mouth agape, ready to swallow any amount of unsigned falsehood, wagging his tail far Roman correspondents to feed him. The Pall Mall has sometimes proved itself capable of better things than to turn caterer for such a repast. We venture to recommend to it some fresh arrange ment for the supply of its information from a place now doubly interesting to the civilized would. We trust it will append to all such negotiations the caution, " No hanger-on of the Piazza di Spagna— no de place—need apply." For strip this precious correspondent of his domino : he will come out simply as a member of that not over-respectable fraternity which infests the Englishman abroad with a parasitic life ; feeds him with scandalous falsehoods, ready-made and seasoned to his taste, and is sure of pocketing a full equivalent as long as the falsehood takes, and the wish remains father to the thought. We hear, therefore, with entire calmness, from this man in the Brazen Mask, that the Zouaves are fanatics, who bayonet Garibaldians in cold as he most acc ura t e ly blood, and—" worse still," ------- observes—kill a child. Ile omits to . %cid that they are ghoules and ogres as well :it w. hardly diminish the truthfulness of his account. Nor are we surprised to learn from him that " th .e Pope is very gloomy and dejected." It is, after all, the truest thing he has said ; if by 4 , gloomy"' ae means that the heart of Pius LX. follows into ti le unseen world, with a father's dread foreboding,, the souls of six hundred miserable men, summoned at a moment's notice before a higher tribunal than the public opinion of England, from the sc ene of their outrage against the most righteou4 c: Luse on earth.— Westminster Gazette. RADICAL JOURNALISM. (From the Round TalCie.) One of the most decided and immediate effects of any marked political movement in this country is that which is produced on current journalism. A news paper or other periodical which has identified itself with opinions that in the flow of events become unpopular is pretty certain to feel this effect in a direct and unmistakable manner. The public would be surprised to know the exact extent of the fluc tuations in the circulations of the principal journals in the city of New York during the past few years. This has sometimes resembled nothing so much as a game of seesaw, in which when one party goes up the other is sure to go down, and the measures of ascent and descent are exactly the same. Of course the scope of the gyration is mainly determined by the degree of partisanship to which a particular journal may have been devotel ; the moderates, as they are called by their friends, the trimmers, as they are called by their foes, suffer least from the mutations of public feeling, because they have dared least in the office of directing them ; but a paper like the Tribune, extreme to the backbone, and too much given to be coarse and offensive in the expres sion of its opinions—a paper usually vigorous if generally inelegant, and of little weight or value apart from politics and news—is sure to suffer most from political reaction, for the very reason that its own characteristics do so much to produce it. The feeling of dislike for journals which have been closely identified with what are termed Radi cal opinions is becoming just now so general and so decided as to suggest examination to see how such a sentiment is justified, or to what extent it should be pronounced ungenerous or irrational. There can be no doubt but that perfect freedom. for the press is called for by the genius of American institutions, and it seems contrary to their spirit, if not to their letter, that a despotism in the shape of public opinion should be put forth to punish those who have merely exercised what is universally con ceded to be a right. But that such a disposition exists seems certain. In the metropolis especially the feeling against the Radical press is bitter and almost universal. Its efforts, judicious and natural as they are, to assume a more moderate tone than that of a year or more ago, appear rather to provoke the public mind than to con ciliate it ; for it is everywhere urged that they expressed their real views when strong in popular support, and change front now out of selfish regard to their pecuniary interests. Hence the papers which have always been known as Radical, in New York, in New England, and throughout the country, but which have lately striven to induce public for getfulness of the fact, are more disliked and con temned than those which have boldly nailed their Radical flags to the mast and preserved consistency even at the cost of prosperity. The cause of the feeling against the Radical jour nals is easily pointed out. It is easy also to show why such a feeling, once partly dormant in some quarters and little felt, if at all, in others, should be so almost universally cherished and expressed and so obviously on the increase at this time. It is felt, in the first place, that Radical policy has had a long and fair trial, and that it has failed. It has failed to bind up the wounds of war, failed to restore the blessings of peace, failed in its management of the national finances, failed to bring about that cordial reconciliatio❑ between the two great sections of the country which is, however, the indispensable pre requisite to national prosperity. Now a certain stubbornness and patience are strong characteristics of the Anglo-Saxon race. The people sustained the Republican party through the war because they were firmly resolved to preserve the national unity, and thought that end would be imperilled by stop ping, to use their leader's homely phrase, to swap horses while crossing a stream. It is our convic tion, frequently heretofore expressed, that the people would have sustained the Republican party still longer had the war continued, sustained it, that is until its close. This conviction, we may observe in passing, has been challenged by some, who point to the evidences of discontent supplied by past elections as showing the likelihood of Repub lican overthrow if things grew worse or did not grow better in the field. The answer to this is that such overthrow was constantly predicted—by Mr. Weed and others—but that it never came to pass. We have, therefore, the best of the argu ment so far as facts go, since of the two prognosti cations one was constantly verified, the other not. Moreover, historical precedents across the ocean, as witness the history of Pitt's Administration passim, have repeatedly shown that lack of success in the field, mismanagement in general, any or all causes which bear heavily on the people and tend to make a war unpopular, will not turn the scale against na tional vanity, or obstinacy, or patriotism—call it what you will—so as to make them abandon the afruggle or withhold support from thoie who have its direction. Experience has shown that the sins an administration or a party makes are punished in such cases afterwards, not while the war is going on ; and the immediate political history of our own country is not, from present appearances, likely to furnish an exception. Mistaking a characteristic phase of national determination for attachment pure and simple to their own party dogmas, the Radical journals have unhappily continued to stir up and aggravate strife between sections and colours long after they bad ceased to be in real sympathy with the masses of the nation, long after indeed, in the opinion of many, the oc casion for their existence at all in their partisan and sectional capacity had been removed. It is they who have made the North insolent in triumph, the South sullen in defeat. It is they who have stuffed down the throat of the country, until it has become fairly surfeited and sickened with the load, the crotchets of the ideologists of New England; those spectral pragmatists, all meum and no tuuna, all cerebrum and no cerebellum, who have done so much good and so much harm, and who, no more than the Secessionists, are destined to be the rulers of the country. The people have been slowly but steadily awakening to the truth that the Radical journals, the opponents of that narrow and sectional temper of New Eng land which is as essentially antagonistic as was that of the secessionists to a truly national and cosmopo litan spirit, have exerted a highly mischievous in fluence, tending to postpone reconstruction, incul cating vindictive and most un-Christian passions, and tending to perpetuate the onerous burdens of the whole community. In view of such persuasions it is not surprising that these organs should now be iu a languishing condition, or that the partisan warmth which once gave them support should have so generally changed to coolness or aversion. Re garding their mission as a sectional and temporary rather than a national and permanent one, it is not strange that the people should discourage what they perceive has outlived its usefulness. This is, perhaps, to some extent an illiberal view. Judgment is inevitably swayed by the passions of surroundingmasses, and it is easy for genuine patriot ism in the heat and fury of war to believe that its side is entirely in the right and must needs always continue so. The difference, however, between the honest masses of Republicans and the Radical journals consists in this—that the latter have degenerated in too many cases into mere paid advocates of their party, and have thus fallen inevitably into the habit of preferring party to country. This the people see, and this the people will not countenance or tolerate. A Nemesis is at work in this reaction which promises to give symmetry to various un completed fragments of history. It was said not long ago that two sets of revolutionists, two perverse factions, were battling shoulder to shoulder to effect the dissolution of the Union, the destruction of the Republic. One of these has done its work, and had its reward. The fate of the other, so far as it may yet be undecided, it is not difficult to pro phesy, THE CATHOLIC BISHOPS AND OXFORD. The great question of education for the higher classes in England is assuming every day a more serious character. Everyone knows of the " unani mous " conclusion which our venerated body of bishops, with the late lamented cardinal at their head, came to some few years ago upon this mat ter. Most Catholics thought that nothing further would be required, and that no one who had any pretensions to be a true member of the Church would ever afterwards dream of sending his son to Oxford. We thought that, as a body, we had too much reverence for ecclesiastical authority, and too true a sense of submission for any of us to think of taking any other course but that which had been pointed out to us. Oxford was repre sented to us as absolutely unfit for training Catholic youth. Its professors were dangerous, its morals decidedly corrupt, its tone rationalistic and irreli gious, and its atmosphere thoroughly unwholesome for young Catholics. The results of an experi ment were clearly foretold ; faith weakened, re ligious fervour cooled, sacraments neglected, in- differentism begun, " fast" ways adopted, im- morality strongly developed. All this was pointed out in strong language, and everything that could be said was said to convince reasonable men of it. But what happened? We were amazed, and all good men were scandalized, to Nee that, after all, and in spite of all, there were some amongst us who ventured to send their sons into the danger— into the atmosphere of foul corruption—into the arms of the syren, whose embrace was death. Good heavens! It was a bold thing—it was a cruel thing. The innocent Catholic boy came forth from the hallowed precincts of his college, where he had frequented the sacraments, and loved our Lady's altar, and delighted to kneel beneath the shadow of Mary's statue, and played in the blithe air under the watchful eye of good men, and was growing strong in an atmosphere healthful and bracing, because it was Christian and Catholic. You could see innocence in the glance of his beaming eye ; it flashed from his face in his open smiles ; it rang out clear in characteristic tones in his joyous shout and merry laugh. He was growing into a true man, of whom we should have been proud; he would have been a true hearted Catholic, a lover of the Pope and the Church, and one who would have been as the " salt of the earth" in this cor rupt age. But he was wanting, it was thought, in " polish ;" he lacked " breadth of mind ;" he needed " friction " with men of refined education and high intellectual acquirements. He wanted the finishing touch" given to the work of his edu cation. And so, in spite of bishops, he went to Oxford. He went without priest's, or bishop's, or God's blessing on his head. And, alas! what good could he do without such blessing ? We say it was a bold, a hazardous, and a cruel thing to send him there. It was no true parents' love that could do it. It was like taking a delicate flower out of the mild air of the conservatory, and suddenly trans planting it to the top of the bleak, cold mountain. It needs must wither in the wintry blast. It was like taking a tender child from amidst the open fields, and the sweet-scented flowers, and rippling brooks, and shutting him up in a charnel -house, all fetid with a foul and noxious atmosphere. It was a hard thing. He went pure, and humble, and obedient, and in a healthy tone of mind, with the love of Mary in his heart, and attachment to his religion deep-rooted in his soul. But, alas ! Oxford was a fatal change for him. No daily Mass was there as in his college home, no Blessed Lady's statue to smile purity on him, no altar rails thronged by young communicants. All was cold and bare and empty, and altogether different from the cherished home where he had spent so many happy years. He never before could realize what it was to be without the regular Communion•days, and our Blessed Lady's statue, and the Holy Sacri fice of the Mass. And so, in a short space of time, great and sad changes took place with him. . . . He came from Oxford to his home a withered flower, a blighted being. The sunlight of his life was quenched. He had been sent to acquire a higher knowledge--to receive an intellectual polish. He had, it is true, acquired knowledge, but it was of a fatal kind. He had, perhaps, received a higher external polish, but, fatal exchange ! the " beauty from within" was all gone. All this is not simply imaginary ; it has been realized in more cases than one amongst those young Catholics who have had the misfortune to be sent to Oxford. Yea, it has been boldly said, and so far without contradiction, that this has happened in most cases. This is very sad to hear. But what could we expect? Could any one suppose that what was undertaken without a blessing, nay, in spite of advice and solemn warnings from the highest ecclesiastical authority in the country, and even in spite of the disapproval of the highest authority in the Church, could ever succeed, or have any but a miserable issue ? No. The thing was impossible. Education, without the blessing of the Church, can bring no good. This has been clearly proved. The Oxford venture has been a miserable failure. And now our zealous bishops, when lamentable examples of shipwreck can be pointed out, are again raising their warning voice on the dangers of Protestant Universities. They are repeating their disapproval in the strongest terms. They publish the following very strong words of the Sacred Congregation of Propaganda : —" In the present case, where, as his Holiness has declared, those who frequent the universities incur an intrinsic and most grievous danger to purity of morals, as well as to faith, which is absolutely necessary for salvation, who can fail to see that it is next to impossible to discover circumstances which would allow Catholics, without sin, to attend non-Catholic universities ?" " The Holy Father has declared," says the Bishop of Hexham and Newcastle, " non-Catholic universities to be a proximate occasion of grievous sin to those who frequent them. . . And as for discovering cir cumstances which would make it a serious and adequate necessity' for Catholics in this country to frequent our Protestant universities, it is truly next to impossible to do so." The Bishop of Beverley says : " The authority to which every Catholic bows his head has at length spoken with no uncertain sound ; controversy is set at rest, and all hesitation as to the path of duty removed." And, again : " The consequence is obvious, and we feel bound to state it ; it would run thus : that unless (what is next to impossible) the precautions are such as to remove the imminence of the danger, to pursue a course of studies in these uni versities would be grievously sinful in the sight of God." It is to be hoped that this second declaration of our zealous bishops will have the desired effect. They never raise the cry of alarm without good reason. We see, in the case of Italy, how things have happened as they foretold us. There were some farseeing Catholics who, at the beginning of this movement, would not believe that it would end in an attack upon the Church. It was not a re ligious movement at all, they said, and would not resolve itself into one. The bishops did not take wide views of things when they forewarned us that the Church was in danger. It was the old false alarm of " Wolf !" But we see who have been right. And in the case of Oxford it is precisely the same. Their predictions have been fulfilled ; their worst fears realized. The scheme has had the pernicious effect which they anticipated and foretold. The whole thing has proved a mad, wild venture. It has been, neither more nor less, an offering of innocent childrento Moloch. The god-king looked magnificent with his golden crown upon his head, but as soon as, with open arms, he had received his innocent victims, he let them fall into the fire. This has been terrible and cruel work, and our bishops are raising their voices again in Synod and Pastoral Letter, to stop, if possible, this fatal sacrificing of our fine young Catholic boys to the English Moloch. It is to be hoped their warning voices will be heard and heeded through the length and breadth of the land i for our young THE SUN, LONDON. MONuAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 18, 18b7. aristocracy are too dear to the Catholic Church in England, and we all love them too well to be con tent to see them corrupted and ruined. Are they not the descendants of our old English heroes who so bravely stood their ground in. evil times? Are their names not found on the brightest pages of our English Catholic history? Axe they not, some of them, the sons of martyrs ? "Yes, they are de scended from noble blood ; an d. we are proud of them. We look to them for great things in days yet to come. We expect th ey will speak out bravely for the Church of which, they are children. We hope the old staunch heart. of their ancestors has been inherited and still beats in their bosoms, and that the old true love of the Church circu lates with the blood in their - reins. The days are coming, and are with us. even. now, when we want them to speak and to act as their fathers did. But to prepare them for this high. mission, to train them for this noble work, Oxford is not the place to send them. Oxford cannot—it knows not how—give a finish to a Catholic education. To send young Catholics there is not to crown, but to destroy to the very foundations, what it has taken years of toil to build up. The Catholic Church alone has a hand delicate enough and skilled enough to give a finishing touch to what she herself has fashioned from the beginning. It is far better that our Catholic youth should remain as long as possible at our Catholic colleges studying their philosophy there, or reading under competent masters. Or why not, after completing the college course, have a private tutor from amongst that highly-polished and intellectual class of men, whom the grace of God has given to the Church in these late years ? Anything, provided it be under Catholic influence, is better than sacrificing them to the fire-god, the English Moloch.— Westminster Gazette. THE SCHOOL QUESTION IN AUSTRIA AND BAVARIA. In Bavaria, as well as in Austria, the large majority of the governing classes—of those who dominate in the Chambers, who fill the professorial chairs at the universities, and who in the Press dictate to Kings and Emperors the policy to be pursued by the State—belongs to that vague Chris tianity which the Rev. Father Greuter lately de nounced in the Austrian Reichsrath as the religion of the Masonic Lodge. These men, for the most part, call themselves Catholics, and yet they look upon the Holy See as a foreign power, deny the binding force of the decrees of the Council of Trent, and reject the authority of the bishops. Their aim is to deprive the Church of all authority in the government of the world, and to make men free of religion. They go thoroughly to work and begin their task at the beginning. They know the power of Catholic and religious education —it is the greatest obstacle in the way of their success ; hence the efforts of the Liberal majorities in Austria and Bavaria to introduce a Godless system of educa tion. In Austria the attacks against the Concordat have two special ends in view—the eventual in troduction of civil marriage and the separation of the Church and the School. A few weeks ago we published the chief points of the address of the Austrian Episcopate to the Emperor, describing, in bold and vigorous language, the inevitable evil these two measures, so repugnant tothe principles of Christianity, would inflict upon religion and upon the Empire. They described the attacks against the Concordat as " attacks directed against religion and against the throne." The answer of the Emperor to Cardinal Rauscher was the signal for the triumphant renewal of these attacks. Both these measures have been carried in the Reichsrath by large majorities. The law on marriage, in its first article, suppresses the marriage law of 1856, and re-establishes, even for Catholics, the matri monial enactments of the civil code ; in its second it introduces eventual civil marriage. What is meant by eventual civil marriage is thus explained : If the parish priest refuse, for reasons not recognized by the State, to publish the banns, or to perform the marriage, the marriage may, nevertheless, be contracted before the competent civil authorities. This law undoes the work of the Concordat in its most important point the restoration to the Church in Austria of ecclesiastical jurisdiction in matrimonial matters. The chief provisions of the law on education, just carried also by a large majority, are as follows : 1. The direction and inspection of ;all matters regarding instruction and education belong ex clusively to the State. This direction is conducted by corporations, and by such as are appointed to the office agreeably to the Constitution. 2. Notwithstanding this right of inspection, im mediate direction and surveillance of religious in struction for the different denominations belongs to their respective Churches or religious societies. The teaching of other subjects of study in the schools is independent of the influence of every Church or religious society. 3. Schools and educa tional establishments founded or supported entirely, or in part, by the State, by the province, or by the municipalities, are open to all citizens without dis tinction of religious denomination. 4. Every Ch urch or religious society is free to found:and to support schools for the instruction of youth belonging to recognized religions. Never theless, these schools are to be subject to the laws regarding public instruction. In passing these measures the Liberalism of the Lower Reichsrath has committed Austria to a downward course, the effect of which, on a people in its middle and upper classes so indifferent to the precepts of the Church, cannot but be disas trous in the extreme, both to faith and morals. The bishops are fully alive to the danger, and are acting with the greatest promptitude. After endeavouring in vain to interpose between the Em peror and the ill advisers he is now bent on follow ing, the bishops, on returning to their respective dioceses published Pastoral Letters, in which the Catholics of Austria are warned of the dangers to morality and faith threatened by the laws on mar riage and education, which only await the consent of the Upper Chamber of the Reichsrath, and the sanction of the Emperor to come into force. The bishops call on all who value their faith to use every means in their power, while there is yet time, to ward off the impending calamities. In the Lower Chamber a few zealous Catholics, conspicuous among whom were Professor Jager and Father Greuter, of Innsbruck, made a stout opposition against these obnoxious laws ; and the bishops will endeavour, in the Upper Chamber, to rally the Catholic and Conservative spirit of the empire. From the prevailing tendency towards Liberalism in religion in the ruling classes, and from the strangely combined vacillation and obsti nacy of the Emperor, there is but small chance, however, of saving the Austrian Government from adopting the irreligious policy now so common in the Catholic States of Europe. But, whatever course the Government pursue, there is an end to that dead-and-alive system which has hitherto characterized Catholicism in Austria. A movement has begun in the waters too long stagnant. The breath of life is passing over them again. The meeting at Innsbruck, which was reported in these columns a few weeks ago, was the inauguration of a new system. No Catho lic meeting of such significance has taken place in Europe for many years. It was animated by the best spirit ; perfect unanimity prevailed ; there was no attempt to soften or to understate Catholic prin ciples, to make them palatable to the Liberalism of the day. On the contrary, the general meeting of the Catholics of Germany gave its thorough adhe sion to the teaching of the Pope, in the expression of which laymen like Herr Zander, the zealous champion of the Papal authority in Bavaria, rivalled even the outspokenness of the Jesuit Fat Greu teherr, the Professor of Theology at the Univer sity of Innsbruck. All compromise was denounced as repugnant to the spirit of Catholicism, and espe cially on the question of education the utmost unanimity prevailed as to the necessity of securing, in the national and in the higher schools, an ex , elusively Catholic teaching. The conflict between the Catholics of Austria— , indeed, we may say of the whole of Germany— : as represented in the genera meeting at InnsbrUck, and the Liberals in the Reichsrath and in the Ba varian Parliament, is one of principle. Between such antagonists no compromise is possible ; and it is well for Catholic Germany that this essential difference should be more and more fully recog nized and insisted upon. The episcopate, by its valiant resistance to the attempts of Austrian Liberalism to commit the empire to a public de nial of the rights of religion, has done much-- though much still remains to be done—to awaken the Catholics of Austria to a sense of their danger. The bishops of Bavaria are equally alive to the movement which is going on throughout Ger" many to wrest education in the national schools from the hands of the Church, and to establish, among high and low, a vast system of Godless education. The watchword of Liberalism is in dependence of science from the control of faith, separation of the School from the Church. The Bavarian Church no longer deserves the appella tion of Ecclesia dornziers which had been bestowed upon it ; for the silent endurance which so long put up with the encroachments of the wretched Bavarian Government on the rights of religion is gradually giving way under the despotic action of the Minister of Public Worship. Diocese after diocese is rousing itself in defence of the national schools, which, . by the new law on education enacted by the Bavarian Chambers, are to be deprived of their Catholic character. At the late meeting of the bishops of Germany at Fulda, the Bavarian Episcopate presented a united protest to the Government against this iniquitous measure. The Bavarian Government, with even more than its wonted audacity, declined to receive the address of the bishops on the score that they had no right to present a petition. Throughout the kingdom great agitation prevails, and from almost every parish petitions are sent into the King against the new law on education. Herr Zander, whose able exposition of the state of Catholicism in Bavaria, at the Congress of Innsbriick, we gave at some length in these columns, is most energetic in this movement, and by the aid of his Volksbote, a popular paper of very wide circulation, is rousing public feeling to the danger which the faith of the people is exposed to from this new attempt of Bavarian Liberalism. The clergy of the diocese of Wiirzburg are ex ceedingly active. The following seven points from the address of the clergy of the district of Kitzingen to the Bishop of Wiirzburg place in a clear and distinct light the question at issue between the Church and the Government : I. The national school has always been an arm of the Christian Church ; it belongs, as an essential member, to the organism of the Church. The idea, or the attempt to exclude the Church from the School, can only arise from an anti-religious disposition, aiming intentionally at the destruction of the faith of the people. To assume that the Church will renounce its influence over the schools of the nation, is to demand from it an act of high treason against its Lord and Master, as well as a suicidal act. 11. The Church has a threefold right over the school. First, a derivative right from its relation to ,the Christian family ; for parents and families entrust their children to the school simply on the faith of its being under the influence of the spirit of Catholic Christianity. The Church is entitled as well as bound to fulfil this mission. Secondly, a positive right. By baptism children are incor porated in the Church. On the day of their re ception in the public school, the mission entrusted by God to the Church begins. Thirdly, an histo rical right ; for, according to its origin, the school is the daughter of the Church. The school, for the most part, is endowed by the Church, and has become under its influence the great civilizing agent of Christianity. By the appointment of ecclesiastics, as local and district school inspectors, the Bavarian Government, up to the present time, has recognized this historical right. 111. While gladly acknowledging, on the one hand, that the State has a claim to co-operate in the government of the National Schools in which its future citizens are formed ; on the other hand, State monopoly of education is denied. By the appointment of ecclesiastical local and district school inspectors, capable, as educated men, of the proper management of the school, the common interest of the State and the Church in the well being of the school is alike consulted. Hence it is incumbent that the institution of local school in spectors should be maintained. IV. If, in the course of legislation, the insti- tution of local school inspectors be abrogated, there can be no doubt that it will cause great in dignation on the part of a Christian people which demands a Christian school, and the clergy on their side will never and in no way can consent to take part in a local school board. The State pos sesses no right by which it can compel the clergy to become members of such a board. V. The denominational character of the schools is, under all circumstances, to be upheld. The community has a right that teachers of its re ligious denomination should be appointed, because, by the establishment of secular schools, the door is opened to religious indifferentism, and a death blow is given to the freedom of conscience guar anteed to every citizen. VI. But should, contrary to expectation, the proposed law on education come into force, then the clergy demand freedom of instruction, and especially the right to found parish schools of their own ; and further, that the money now drawn from local Ecclesiastical endowments for the payment of schoolmasters should be bestowed on the Church for the same purpose. VII. The institution of district inspectors is de clared to be impracticable, because the inspection of 180 schools by one inspector precludes the pos sibility of a proper surveillance over individual schools. And this plan, moreover, cannot be accepted, because the creation of district [inspec tors has no:other motive than gradually to exclude the clergy from the national schools, and to un- Christianize education. From this memorial of the Bavarian clergy, it is evident that irreligious Liberalism in Bavaria, as in Austria and elsewhere, has concentrated its strength in an attack upon Christian education. After having too well succeeded in separating the State from the Church, to the demoralization of the political life of nations, it now seeks, by separ- ating the school from the Church, to undermine individual faith, and to rob the young by times of their best inheritance. By such means it hopes to make good its boast that the future belongs to the Revolution.— Westminster Gazette. Mscellaneous News. (From the Anglo-American Times.) Mr. Vanderbilt has challenged Mr. Bonner to trot his horse, Mountain Boy, against the latter's horse, Dexter, for which Mr. Bonner gave $50,000. Dexter has trotted a mile in 2 min. 17f sec., Mountain Boy in 2 min. 18 sec. ; yet Mr. Vanderbilt alleges the superiority of his horse to Mr. Bonner's, which the latter denies, though he refuses the challenge. - - --• • • Mr. Stanley, - an hotel proprietor in Virginia, Nevada, was murdered by a customer named Caldwell, who in a quarrel stabbed Stanley with a bowie knife.

Governor Brownlow was elected by a majority of 21 as Senator for Congress. He has succeeded in attaining to this dignity and a world-wide fame, like Gene ral Butler, by the strength and courage with which he has adhered to the Union cause, which he took up from con viction, and for which he was prepared to make any sacrifice. Fortunately for him his was the winning side, and instead of finding himself adorning a gibbet, as would iu all probability have boon the fat® to his UGH sive zeal would have carried him in defeat, he will be placed on a stage where he will have rare opportunities of exhibiting himself before the world. We trust this fact may have an influence in restraining his wild vagaries, and that he will not bring ridicule and contempt on the august assembly of which he is now a member. On the 30th October Mr. Bradley's case was brought before the Supreme Court in Washington, and he was desired to show cause why he should not be punished for contempt, and suspended from practice until the case was disposed of. It will be remembered that he was S ur ratt's counsel, and while conducting the defence was be trayed into gross insolence to Judge Fisher.

The New fork Citizen remarks :—" We have now the Irish Citizen and the New York Citizen of this State; the Coloured Citizen of Ohio, the A merican Citizen of Missouri, a German Citizen in Michigan, a British Citizen in Canada, a Southern Citizen in Georgia.

Mr. Spurgeon has published the following re marks in his magazine, called "The Sword and Trowel:" —"I have spent two months in ill-health, and much of the time in severe pain, but, by the good hand of God upon me, lam now much better, and hope to resume my home work very speedily. I have resolved, for twelve months at least, to refuse almost all work away frum home, and I now earnestly beg friends not to distress me with importunate requests to preach here, there, and every - where. For years I have preached from eight to ten times a week, besides issuing the weekly sermon, editing the magazine, overseeing the church, superintending the col lege, directing the orphanage, founding new churches, attending committees, and a thousand other things; but many signs indicate that there must bo a pause. lam not less willing, but I am far less able than I was, to serve the Church by preaching." An Art Journal has just been published at Chicago, which is spoken of in high terms of praise. Blackwood, in an article in this month's numberon " The Impending Crisis in America," names the candidates for the Presidency as follows :—" First, the actual occu pant of the Presidential chair ; second, General Grant ; third, Mr. Salmon P. Chase ; fourth, General B. F. But ler; fifth, Mr. Stanton, late Secretary of War; and, sixth, Mr. Thaddeus Stevens." General Fremont, Mr. Seward, and General M'Clellan are "dead cocks in the pit" ac cording to old Ebony, but there are others who may declare themselves, before the thick of the battle begins. Among these aro placed "Sherman—the best and noblest of the generals, Sheridan, Meade, Dix, and Banks ;" of civilians, "Mr. B. Wade, President of the Senate, Senator Sumner, Mr. Speaker Colfax, Mr. Pendleton of Ohio, and Mr, C. F. Adams, now Minister at the Court of St. James's." The last-mentioned is a man peculiarly acceptable to the Re publicans. He is the son and grandson of Presidents, and, having been out of the way for seven years, has probably made fewer enemies than any of his possible competitors." The writer goes on to show that the battle will, in all probability, be fought between President Johnson and Mr. Chase—the former representing State rights, the old Constitution, fellowship with the South, and a thorough restoration of the Union ; the other representing the Re volution that grew out of the war, a new Constitution to replace the old, the strong hand of military power to overawe dissentients, and the consolidation of the States into one great nationality. The way in which General Grant is pushed aside by Black-wood appears to us ridiculous. No doubt changes are startling and rapid in the Union, but were the elections now to be made no one could doubt Grant's success. Tho writer is, we sup pose of opinion, that Mr. Johnson will bo re-elected, or rather re-seated, in the chair for another four years, and General M'Clellan is spoken of as " a dead cock in the pit." At this moment General M'Clellan is assuredly the most likely man of his party ; indeed the only man who has a chance, according to present appearances, but they are very few who hoist Mr. Johnson's ticket. Black wood holds that the fatal opposition to Graut will come from the extreme Radicals at the head of the negro party, and quotes the speeches of negro orators in support of the assertion from the Detroit Press and the New York Tribune. We had no idea that Chief Justice Chase had Conserva tive tendencies till we read the character given to hint by this Conservative magazine, and then we understood the declaration which has created so much surprise in America of his Conservative principles. Blackwood begins by saying he is " by far the ablest and most sagacious man in the ranks of the Republican party, a sound lawyer, a dignified Judge, a consistent and unmercenary and a man who in any country in Europe would take rank with the highest order of statesmen. Unlike Mr. Johnson and Mr. Lincoln, the Chief Justice of the Supremo Court is both a scholar and a gentleman, and has the manners and bearing that are the reflex of a cultivated mind." We not only like this character, but fully endorse it, and whether the great lawyer be successful or not in attaining to the highest dignity his country offers, he will have the satisfaction of carrying with him the respect and confidence of his political opponents as well as of his friends. Black wood gives much the same accouut of his political career as that given in the Cincinnati Commercial; indeed, so close as to incline to the belief that the article was sent in manuscript to the magazine as well as to the New York Tribune. We believe that Mr. Chase stands well for nom nation in spite of the defeat in Ohio, but it is very wide o the mark to say, as Blackwood does, that " he stands the best chance." Of course Ben Butler is here brought in as a fine effect for a strong contrast "of unenviable noto riety, whose name is synonymous over the whole South, and a large portion of the North, with all that is hateful and unmanly, Sze." Thaddeus Stevens is too old and ill, and Frederick Douglas, whose name on the same ticket for Vice-President some consider strong, is a negro, and for that reason cannot, Blackwood thinks, be seriously entertained by any rational person. After discussing the candidates, the writer touches on the great poli tical and social questions now agitating the minds of Americans, and finds "that the line of demarcation between the Democrats and the Republicans, or, as they may be called, Conservatives and Revolutionists, is no longer clear and well defined." The Times defined the Revolu tionists clearly enough last week, as built on Protection, but probably old Ebony, who cannot change his principles with the same facility as the daily journal, scarcely liked coupling Revolutionists with Protection. There was a time men not yet old remember when Blackwood led the periodical press on Protection against Free Trade, and the Times the newspaper press. Now, the Times defines the Radicals of America as the Protection party, and Blackwood says it may more properly be called Revolutionist. It is won derful to see how time swings us round the circle. We are all spilling round, only some go quicker than others, and the slower point the finger of scorn at the faster, whom they see on the opposite side, as the turncoats who had left their ranks. The questions are—" the negro vote, the high protective tariff, the repudia tion of the debt, and the continued subjection of the South to military despotism." The Hon. D. A. Wells, we had thought, lately gave Blackwood a lesson on Ame rican finance, but Ebony is hard to impress. Out come the figures without any regard to accuracy. Influential men of all parties are described as "strenuously approving the liquidation of the Five-twenty Bonds by the issue of 500,000,000 of paper dollars !" The Secretary of the Trea sury would indeed be a magician if he could do that, con sidering that the first issue exceeded the sum, and since then the debt is being consolidated into that stock. Had the writer looked on the face of one of the bonds, or at the quotations in any price list, he would have seen that the right to call in the whole issue of 1862 is now with the Government, not, as represented by Blackwood, "a time shortly to expire," but one over due. There are several other inaccuracies in this article : for instance, lowa is given for Ohio. The Round Table says :—" Blackwood's article on American slang turns out to be no such damaging exposi tion as, in consideration of its source, we had anticipated. Some of the most disagreeable of the words which are generally termed Americanisms — e. g., bender, muss, rile, and riley, slick (let it), slide, silver, splurge, stent, or stint, &c. —together with some, like platform (party principles) and sag, which are not generally known to be peculiar to this country, and others attributed to us, but of which we never heard—to wit, meech or mich (to skulk), and mung false, confused, akin to mingle, and therefore from pilanqu)—are traced to the most illustrious English writers, and are therefore pronounced by Blackwood' worthy of the favour of Englishwrlters and speakers!' Then of course comes the detestable newspaper English in vogue among reporters, in rustic journals, and in sheets which, like the Herald and the Tribune, are coarse from deliberate policy. Of these are orate, donate, approbate, balance, to be on hand, to be posted and to post up, was acquit, quit the room, pled orplead guilty, wed (weeded), the garden, was illy prepared, to send a declension (to decline), a human (a man), retiracy, to get item (news), of the female persuasion, to be a caution, cuss critter. Now, those word are represented as of common occurrence ' in every ne.yvspaper,' and while it is conceded of the last two that they are ' considered vulgar even in the land of their origin,' but ' are daily coming into more extended use,' the impression made upon any uninformed reader can only be that all these and many like them form part of the dialect which prevails in America. Many of these terms we have quoted will, we fancy, now be seen by no small part of our readers for the first time, while the use of any one of them would, as a general thing, be quite t final as to the estimate ih which We should hold the }, ....... speaker. So it is rather hard to attribute to us boss, word employed twenty times by our British population for every once that it comes from the mouth of an American. The injustice is still more pronounced when, in accounting for the numerous words descriptive of roughs —rowdy, it seems, is an Americanism —we read that in America persons of this turbulent class form a large percentage of the youth of the labouring and commer cial population.' The case is precisely that which, by newspaper report, was recently stated at a London din ner-table, whore Mr. Hepworth Dixon's New America' accounts of Mormonism and Spiritualism were adduced in evidence of American social phenomena ; whereupon Dr. J. P. Thompson, of New York, replied with perfect accuracy, to the discomfiture of the critics, that' Utah is a sort of Botany Bay of Christian Europa, and that Mormonism lives by immigration from England.' It is bad enough to have our free schools swampl,l, our gaols and almshouses and hospitals filled, and our streets occasionally taken possession of by mobs—all thanks to England ; but when she deliberately proceeds to judge us for the prevalence of an ignorance chiefly of her own creation, it is something altogether beyond a joke. " Miss Caroline Underhill, who has already pub lished a collection of po3ms which were favourably re ceived, purposes publishing a volume of poetry. " Dr. R. Shelton Mackenzie, whose reminiscences of literary men and subjects are more interesting than perhaps those of any one else in the country, is collecting for the press a volume of his miscellaneous writings. " Mr. R. 11. Stoddard will soon publish, through Messrs. G. W. Carleton and Co., a novel of Now England " Mr. George William Curtis is reported, with what truth we do not know, to be writing a novel. " The Rev. Robert Collyer, of Chicago, is said to be similarly employed. " Mr. George Catlin will soon give us My Last Rambles amongst the Indians of the Rocky Mountains and the Andes.' " Mr. P. Fishe Reed's volume of poems, to be published during the fall, will be entitled ' Voices of the Wind, and other Poems.' " Marshall, so well known by his line-engraved portraits of Washington and Lincoln, has nearly com pleted his plate of General Grant, on which he has been engaged throughout the summer. The engraving is after a life-size portrait painted by Mr. Marshall himself —a strong likeness, painted with mellow colour and iu a broad style. The same artist has in his studio, which is the one in the Waverley Building so long occupied by M. Lang, several portraits in a more or less advanced stage of pro gress. Mr. F. Buebser, who has devoted himself to studies of negro life and character, is now exhibiting a painting in this style at Schauss's, New York. William Hart is busily engaged upon a series of brilliant water-colour drawings illustrative of scenery in ine. Some of these drawings will be on view at the exhibition of works in water-colour which will be opened early in November. Among the pictures exhibited at 845, Broadway, in aid of the Southern Relief Fund is a charming view near Newport, Rhode Island, by J. F. Kensett, which is highly spoken of. The Albion says—" It seems probable that a very great boon will shortly be conferred upon sailors. It has recently been proved that the buoys at the entrance to 5 harbour can be lighted from the shore by means of elec tricity, but it still remains to be determined whether this light can be constantly maintained in stormy weather. If it should prove that it is so, the:new discovery will be at once put into practice. For lack of guiding marks many a noble ship has struck on a pier head on a stormy night, or gone on the rocks a hundred yards from a harbour mouth, and many a brave sailor has perished within the reach of safety. If the guiding buoys were lighted the risk in stormy weather would be greatly diminished, and in a calm a channel would be as navigable as at noonday. George Wilkins Kendall died at his residence in Texas, October 21, in the 57th year of his age. He had just returned from Europe, when he was seized with the fever which has raged so destructively, and ended a useful and successful career. He was born in New Hampshire / and commenced life as a type-setter in New York in 1833. Having won $1,500 at faro, he foreswore gambling, and proceeding to New Orleans established, in 1835, the Picayune, by the success of which he acquired a fortune. His newspaper obtained a wide circulation throughout the United States, and was noted for the admirable way la which it was edited. He invested largely in Texas, and has left in that State a vast landed property. He was cap tured by the Mexicans in an expedition from Austin to Santa Fe, by whom he was cruelly ill-used. A narrative of the Santa Fe expedition was written by him on his N- I lease, a work of great historical interest. In 18G1 lle joined the Federal army. Mr. Kendall had of late years devoted himself to the cultivation of his estates, and the paper had been conducted by his partner, Mr. C. M. Hol brook, who will continue its publication. On the 30th October ex-Governor Andrew . , Of Mas3achusetts, died suddenly of apoplexy at Boston. 118 was a native of Maine, and was 50 years of age. On the avoniug preceding his death, he was conversing with a friend in his residence, in Charles-street, his family being present, when premonitory symptoms appeared, and he requested his family to leave the room, which they did, supposing ho had private business to transact. He then asked his friend to call in Dr. Derby, who, with Dr. Bige low and Cobet, were in attendance ; but he remained un conscious front the time of the attack until hisjdeath. The London Times, under the heading "Treason never Prospers," says :—" There is no doubt that Head Centre Stephens is in Paris, and in anything but flourishing condition. The officer from Scotland-yard who holds the warrant for his apprehension, during a three weeks' stay at the Exhibition, frequently mot Stephens at a table d'hote, and conversed with him, each man knowing to whom ho was talking. Stephens alluded to a statemen t which had gone the round of the English papers, winc h set forth that he bad ' feathered his nest' out of the Fenian funds with which he had been entrusted. Wrong entirely,' Stephens said. I hav'n't a cent -am indebted to a friend for what I shall pay for this meal, who has al so advanced me as much cash as will pay for advertising for employment as a teacher of English." The officer took the trouble to inquire into the truth of wh at , Stephens told him, and in doing so discovered that he ba g been turned out of two lodgings for want of money to pal his way." The Hon. D. A.
