sPinrg, OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS, The Satarday Bea= has a leader on the policy of the Opposition driring; the now fast dosing session, and specu lates on its leader becoming the ruler of the new House. Passing an the circumstances into review, our contempo rary thinks that the history of the session proves that Mr. Gladstone can on a very momentous question so lead his party as to satisfy the Liberal constituencies. Whether he has satisfied his own followers in the present Hotise of Commons is another matter, and so it is whether he has satisfied impartial and critical judges. But it is a simple matter of fact that he has satisfied the Liberal constituencies. They long above all things to return men who will imitate and obey him. If the present Parliament has been truly described as above all things a Palmerston Parliament, so the next Parliament promises, so far as the Liberals are concerned, to be above all things a Gladstone Parliament ; and certainly no one would have supposed that this would he so before the question on the Irish Church was raised, in an evil hour for his fortunes, by Mr. Disraeli. The country is sick also of the miserable purposeless goings-on of the present House of Commons. It realises how very much discredit is brought on free institutions when a Government tries to govern by a minority, and the leader of the majority cannot get the majority to go with him. A longing has sprung up to have a strong Government, a Government that can command respect and give effect to its own views. Something to save the House of Commons from being a perpetual bear-garden is the first wish of many hearts ; and obviously the easiest mode of getting this wish gratified is to strive for the return of members who will not split into endless little factions, but will inspire their leader with a consciousness of strength, and therefore with a desire to be conciliatory and courteous. The three monuments inaugurated at Romsey in honour of Lord Palmerston gives the Spectator the opportunity of reviewing a part of the deceased statesman's career. The three monuments together, two of them for what they give, one of them for what it suggests by way of contrast, con stitute probably as true a memorial as we could have to the great but rather showy Foreign Minister--the strong, nervous, lucid, practical, but rather short-sighted Home Minister whom we lost three years ago. The statue chews his outward bearing ; Lord Granville depicts the greatest and noblest traits of his individual, social, and political character; the memorial window suggests what he wholly wanted. There was something external, not to say slightly gaudy, gout Lord Palmerston's patriotism, which was to some extent, indeed, restrained by the great fidelity and industry of his administrative work, but which was at the root of most of his deficiencies. His " Civis Romanus sum" vein of statesmanship gave a superficial and unscrupulous air to much of his foreign policy, encouraging him to intimidate the weak, and now and then, if but rarely, to cower before the strong. A more profoundly scrupulous, more austerely self judging, in a word, a more'religious nature, could scarcely have clung to such a foreign policy. But it was even more in his home policy—his frigid Liberalism, his want of perception for the selfishness of the middle class, his want of eager and intense sympathy with the miseries of the lowest class, his couleur-de-rose view of Irish difficul. ties, his half jocular feeling towards political corruption ; in one word, his thoroughly worldly political wisdom and his complete charity towards all the foibles of the political coteries he knew so well, that we miss the ennobling and also the widening influence of a religious substratum of character. The forces of the future—those which are strong, but latent in the present—are necessarily per ceived rather by faith than by sight, by that part of the mind which has not yet found its embodiment among the powers of this world. Lord Palmerston had nothing of this. He lived in the present, and had no political second-sight. It took a deeper nature to have such poli tical second-sight ; it took, indeed, precisely those quell ties of mind which the memorial window attributes to the true statesman, and of which Lord Palmerston shewed no trace. In the opinion of the Imperial Review, the coming gene. ral election will be, less than any recent event of the kind, under the influence of any temporary cry, or any one over shaeo ring name. It will be decided by great questions of future policy, and they are likely to be discussed with more calmn , ss than might be anticipated after so great a change in the electoral system. Unlike the course of things in 1832, the present occasion will allow the country to give its verdict without any violent excitement, and our contemporary sees no reason to expect that its decisionwill be hostile to the Conservative policy as it now is. A short time since some uncertainty was felt as to the influence on the position of parties that the large extension of the franchise would exert. But it is now abundantly evident that the anticipation of the Tory party, that the tendencies of the new electors would be on the whole dis tinctly Conservative, will be realised. The London Review considers that the Electric Tele graphs Bill is one of the few measures which will relieve the present session from the reproach of legislative barren. ness. In the hands of the Government, the telegraphs will not be regarded merely as a source of profit. The primary object will be to bring this mode of communica tion within the reach of as many of the public as possible and although no doubt that object must be pursued with a due regard to cost, it will make a material difference in the practical administration of the system, that the greatest possible accommodation, and not the largest attainable dividend, will be the first thought in the minds of those who direct it. Moreover, it cannot be denied that the Government can do the work much more economi. tally than the telegraph companies. Instead of three staffs, there will in future be only one ; while in the small towns and villages the duties of telegraph clerks will be discharged by the post-office employes at a small addition to their present salaries. There will be unity, simplicity, and concentration of management, instead of the waste of power which is now incurred by committing to three independent, although allied bodies, the work which could , be better done by one. A telegraphi c message is nothing but a letter sent by wire instead of by railway train ; and there is no reason why a department which can conduct the correspondence ref the country through one mode of conveyance should fail in conducting it through another. The transfer of the telegraphs to the Government does not invest them with a new function. It merely makes the discharge of an existing function coextensive with the demands and with the opportunities of the present time. The end of the Whigs has been foretold many times. Doubtless, says the John Bull, the prophecy will soon be fulfilled, and thereupon our Church contemporary offers them a little kindly counsel. Let them accept an issue which is inevitable : gather their robes about them, and fall as decently as they may. The political stage was all very well for them in by-gone days. But in days of real con flict and first principles, all things that are only betwixt and between come to an end in the course of nature. Having gracefully demitted themselves, and being of course not content to have no place in the company, let them consider that, unless they give up their ancient bantling now that it has grown up big and holds its fist in their face, what , must come is the smash of all our institutions. They have not three courses, but one course only, open to them. Let them help to save Church and Crown. The Whig of 1863 ii in the face of all men what he has always been in secret, a mock Radical. The veil is torn down, never to be. replaced. Now he has nothing to gain by consent ing to play second fiddle to his old instruments. He has everything to lose. He has three months to make up his mind, in whether to perish ingloriously, or to perish de cently and with dignity, and to revive, if not as of old, a distinct power in the State, yet honourably and usefully to the State. Lct the Whig of 1868 make his choice. Twenty thousand dollars have, it is said, been offered to Mdlle. Schneider, and the same sum to Duprez, the original Fritz, to go to America and appear in the " Grande Duchesse."—The Orchestra. A report has reached us that a petition, in fluentially signed, is being prepared, asking the Queen to veto the Church Rates Abolition Bill. The circular soliciting support is said to be signed by the Bishop of Lincoln.— Telegraph. • SUPPOSED EXPLOSION OF A PETROLEUM STEAMER. —The steamer Coniston left Liverpool for Lancaster on Sunday evening last, with a quantity of petroleum on board, and has not since been heard of. About one o'clock on Monday morning, however, those on board the North. West lightship observed what appeared to be an explosion, followed by a fire, about ten miles to the N.E. In addition to this, a cask of petroleum has been washed ashore at Southport, which has been identified as part of the cargo of the Coniston. The steamer had a crew of eight hands. ANOTHER MOUNTAIN ON FIRE.—A portion of the range of hills running through Mid-Shropshire, and known as the Longmynds, has been the scene of an exten sive fire, which possessed a special feature of danger, as it broke out within a short distance of the powder maga zines belonging to the county volunteer artillery brigade. The fire, which appeared to break out in several places at once, was observed from Church Stretton, about nine o'clock in the evening, and, the alarm spreading, a large number of the inhabitants of the town started for the hills to aid in extinguishing it: The flames, however, fed by the dry gorse, spread with fearful rapidity, and the peat in the neighbourhood of the powder magazines beginning to burn, a telegram was despatched to the autho rities at Shrewsbury, and as soon as they could be mus tered a strong body of artillerymen arrived by special train. These, aided by a gang of labourers and volunteers, remained at work all night, and by eight o'clock in the morning the fire was got under. It is supposed that the fire originated in a light incautiously dropped by some of the numerous excursionists who frecoent the hills, and a reward has been effe.e I for the dize7cry of tho olondm AN OLD METHODIST PREACHER. The Birmingham Gazette . , in speaking of the late lev. William Naylor, of Wednesbury, says—" He ras the oldest Methodist preacher in the world. He '.,egan to preach as a layman in 1799 ; he entered in the ministry in 1802. When he began Wesley's death vas a recent event, as recent as that of John Angell James. Dr. Bunting and Dr. Newton were young men not yet or tained ; Dr. Coke yet continued his visits to America, and nany names now historio in Methodism were unknown. For 66 years Mr. Naylor travelled up and down the country residing in Edinburgh, London, Liverpool, York, Man 'baster, Birmingham, and other places. Tho long nd varied life of Mr. Naylor made him familiar with he careers of many public men. Once he was asked to preside at a cottage prayer meeting, where a young and skilful mechanic was to take leave of his friends and where they wera to pray for his future. The young mechanic was George St ;Jenson. A. sickly child was sent for health from home, and Ivory week Mr. Naylor visited "little Willie." "Little Willie" became tho late Sir William Atherton, Attorney-General. He was accustomed to visit a farm-house, where a quiet, intelligent lad took charge of his horse. "Bub" and the preacher became friends. Years after they met at Bristol, when the boy had become the Rev. Robert Young, President of the Wesleyan Conference. At a country Methodist Missionary meeting iu 1832, Mr. Naylor was associated on the platform with a hand some, dashing, clever young man, who spoke effectively in behalf of Wesleyan Missions. That young man is now Premier. Imagine the Hon. Benjamin Disraeli at a Metho dist missionary meeting ! But he is versatile enough for anything. Mr. Naylor was one of the founders of the Wes leyan Missionary Society. He lived to preach ono of its Jubilee sermons." SHOCKING ACCIDENT AT PORTSMOUTH. A very sad accident happened at Portsmouth on Friday evening, by which it is feared the life of Lieutenant the Hon. Herbert G. P. Meade, attached to the Excellent, gunneryship, will be sacrificed, and resulting in serious injury to a man who was in his employ. The gentleman in question has for a long time been engaged in testing the power of explosive materials, and was, at the time of the accident, removing a shell which had been charged, when it exploded, and he was shockingly injured about the lower part of his person, his stomach being literally blown out. Not the slightest hopes were held out by the medical men that he would survive the injuries. A man in attendance had his arm blown away, and the room in which the accident happened, in Union-street, Portsea, was shattered. FIRE AT PORTSMOUTH DOCKYARD. A very alarming fire broke out on Wednesday, about 4'30 p.m., at the north-eastern extremity of Portsmouth Dockyard, which, but for the prompt measures taken for its suppression, might have been attended with very serious results. On a railed-in space of ground which has been handed over to Messrs. Leather and Smith, the con tractors for the dockyard extension works, workshops and a cooking-house have been erected, and it was in the latter building (both being temporary wooden erections) that the fire first broke out. The fire spread with amazing rapidity, but the Dock ytir 1 Metropolitzn Police Fire Brigade, with their engine, was inm.e. diately in attendance, quickly supplemented by the fire engine and firemen of the 67th Regiment. Military guards from the 83rd and 67th Regiments at the same time were marched into the dockyard. A large number of the men employed by the contractors were also engaged in cutting off and otherwise arresting the progress of the fire, under the command of their officers. A plentiful supply of water was obtained from the wharf-walls of the yard and from the old moats of the fortifications, and after about one-and-a-half hour's fierce play the fire was subdued. The damage is supposed to exceed £5,000. A large amount of dressed Portland stone, prepared for the new docks, was burnt into lime by the fire. LAW AND POLICE HEAVY FINE FOR CRUELTY TO A SHEEP.—At Lambeth, George Rudge, a butcher's boy, was charged with cruelty to a sheep. A witness saw the accused strike the animal on the nose with such force that the cartilage was broken, and the animal bled very much. A fine of 25 was ii,flictel, with the alternative of two months' imprisonment. SERIOUS CHARGE OF MANSLAUGHTER.—At the Appleby Assizes, George Davis was indicted for the manslaughter of George Birkett. The prisoner was lodging at the house of the deceased ; a dispute arose between them about the drunken habits of Davis, and a struggle ensued. The wife interfered, and after a few blows had been exchanged the prisoner took the poker and struck Birkett the blow from the effects of which be died on the 19th of April The accused was sent to penal servitude for five years. EXTrAGEDINARY CHARGE OF AEDUCTION.-At the Lincoln Ass:z s, John Fletcher and Ann Parr were in dicted for the abduction of Julia Louisa Farrow, a girl under 16. the girl, on coming home from London about Clr:stmas, was ill, and was attended by the male prisoner. Subsequently she visited the female prisoner, and after sleeping at the house of that person, met Dr. Fletcher about a mile fr')m the house, and he drove them in his pony carriage to Peterborough, and thence they took train to Cambridge, where they slept at an hotel, the prisoner Fletcher and Julia Farrow occupying the same bedroom. The defence was that the prisoner thought the girl 16 years old, and that she was a consenting party. The jury found the female prisoner not guilty, but convicted the other prisoner, who was sentenced to one year and ten weeks' imprisonment. THE BURGLARY AT LORD HOLHESDALE'S.—At the Maidstone Assizes a young man named Simmonds was charged with having been one of two persons who broke into Lord Holmesdale's mansion at Linton Place, near Maidstone, in the month of February last. The prin cipal witness against the prisoner was George Sells, a night watchman employed on the premises. While going his rounds this man observed a dim light in a por tion of the house. He at once went to investigate the cause, and on entering one of the passages met the two burglars face to face. A desperate struggle ensued, in the course of which the unfortunate watchman, who behaved with remarkable intrepidity, was frightfully beaten on the head. He fought as long as he could, but at last was rendered insensible. The man, however, was able to identify the priswer, as were also two female servants. Having been found guilty, the accused was ordered to be kept in penal servitule for ten years. POISONING FISH. -At the Exeter Assizes, Samuel ilisdon and James Strong were indicted for maliciously putting a quantity of chloride of lime in certain water belonging to Mr. John Henry Hippisley, with intent to destroy the fish in the water. About eight o'clock on the morning of the 15th July, Risdon was caught in the water, throwing the chloride of lime into it, and Strong was assisting him. Four trout were lying on their backs dead. The prisoners were taken into custody. Strong said he had had no work for three weeks, and he would not starve while there were fish in the river, and he would catch all the fish there were. The jury found the prisoners guilty, and they were sentenced to nine months' imprisonment. THE KIDSGROVE MUEDER.-At the Oxford Assizes, oefore Baron Pigott, William Hancock, 40, furnace-man, was indicted for the wilful murler of Mary Ann White burst, on the 10th of June, at Kidsgrove, in the parish of Wolstanton. The deceased was sleeping at the prisoner's house. The household was aroused about two o'clock the following morning by the prisoner, who, in a state of uncontrollable violence, was shouting, cursing, and attempting personal violence towards his wife. The prisoner's wife and children became terror-stricken and fled from the house, taking refuge at the next-door neighbour's. Unfortunately they left the deceased behind them, and the prisoner, after leaping through the bedroom window into the street, returned to the house, and, seizing hold of the unfortunate little creature by the legs and arms, battered her head against the kitchen floor until life was extinct. The learned judge having summed up, the jury acquitted the prisoner on the ground of insanity, and his lord ship ordered him to be detained during her Majesty's pleasure. THE QUEEN'S VISIT TO THE CONTINENT. —The Army and Nary Gazette says the Channel squadron, under the command of Rear-Admiral F. Warden, C. 8., will escort her Majesty the Queen to Cherbourg, on or about the 4th of August. WIGS AND COATS. —The heat in court at Lewes Assizes was productive last week of peculiar results. Baron Martin drove up to the Shire Hall without a wig, and sat all day on the bench with head uncovered. Several barristers imitated his lordship's example, but no counsel addressed the court in that irregular habit. The jury wore evidently infectel by the contagion, for three or four of those gentlemen took off their coats and considered their ver dicts in their shirt sleeves. Mr. Serjeant Gaselee thinks that a man has a right to be hanged in public. On the same principle, we suppose, a criminal ought not to be sent into penal servitude by a wigless judge and a coatless jury. On Wednesday the Judge Ordinary intimated that the barristers in his court might dispense with their wigs, and set them the examp'e. We do not know whether Sir J. Wilde was aware of the precedent at Lewes, but it is to be hoped that no opportunity has been afforded for the intervention of the Queen's proctor.— .. IdAig Jame,. THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVEN 771 E .ECUME.A7CAL COUNCIL. In the discussion of the Budget in the French Chambers, an interesting and curious debate arose on the relations between the Church and the State, and on the attitude which the French Government ought to take .np in regard to the General Council, to which the Emperor had not been invited in the Bull of Convocation. It is evident the French Government is annoyed and perplexed at the omission, and the irreligious party do not know whether they should resent the omission as an affront, or rejoice in the fact that the un- Christian character and principles of the State have been officially stigmatized by the Pope ? On what title, indeed, could a State which pro fesses the principles of 'B9 demand admission for its ruler into a council whose duty it will be to condemn those principles ? There is no room in the Council for the representatives of the modern State. The Church is not to blame for such an exclusion, but the fault lies with the un-Christian principles on which the modern State is founded. The idea was started in the discussion that the French Government might put forward claims, based upon a state of things which no longer exists, for the admission of its envoys into the Council, and in case of refusal pro hibit the attendance of the bishops of France, exclude the Papal Bulls, and take aggressive measures against the Church. But M. 011ivier, although himself a sceptic in religion, protested against the spirit of persecution which is cha racteristic of the school to which he belongs, and which was manifest in the contemptible and audacious speech of M. Gueroult. He even recognizes in a dim and indistinct way ' the grandeur and loftiness of purpose dis played by the Church in taking up an inde pendent course towards hostile or indifferent States, for it cannot be denied that relying on its own innate strength and the moral force which it possesses, it is now enteliug unaided and alone upon the vast work of regenerating human society. Still, this speaker, whilst advocating the policy of complete abstention as becoming the French Government under the circumstances of the slight whicti had been put upon it and as being in harmony with modern ideas, yet conjured up the old spectre of Gallicanism, and reproached the Go vernment with choosing Ultramontane priests for the vacant Sees. M. 011ivier bewailed the dominion of Ultramontane ideas, the uni versal acceptance of the tenet of Papal infalli bility, and the complete overthrow of the Gallican liberties. This apotheosis of an ex tinct Gallicanism wag a singular revelation of the attachment of impious and revolutionary Liberalism to a theory which, if anti-Papal, was never open to the reproach of favouring the pet project of modern Liberalism. But what M. 011ivier did put in a favourable light was the fact that the Christian State had ceased to exist in France ; that the union between the Church and State, so salutary to both, as Pope Gregory XVI. declared, had come to an end. M. 011ivier, like every Revolutionist and irreligious Liberal, and like some ignorant or misguided Catholics, rejoiced over the fact and approved of the principle. In order that the separation should be durable, he desires that the rupture shall be pacific. He does not wish, like M. Gueroalt, the speaker who preceded him in the discussion, that the State should proscribe or persecute the Church, but simply withdraw from it altogether. How the Church acts under such a deplorable apostacy of the State is now known. We have heard the Pope proclaim, and be it remem bered that he speaks with the infallible voice of Peter, as an eternal verity, the principle of the union between Church and State ; but he also recognizes in his Bull convoking the Council, the fact that the modern State has separated itself from the Church. What M. 011ivier, however, was anxious to learn, was the immediate course which the French Go vernment intended to take. On this point M. Bal oche, the representative of Govern ment, was very enigmatical. He hinted at various courses which the Government might follow, and succeeded at least in showing that the Emperor was desirous, by some means or other, of taking part in the Council. There is not the slightest reason to believe that secular Princes would not now be as welcome as of old in the Council, provided they came as the Rulers of Christian States, but how could the Emperor of an Apostate State like Austria, or the Sub-Alpine King, the de facto ruder of a revolutionary kingdom, or Napoleon 111., the representative of the principles of 'B9, make the requisite bona fide declarations and pro fession of faith ? how could the royal repre sentatives of the principles of indifferentism and incredulity take their seat in an (Ecumeni cal Council, or subscribe its acts ? It is not the Church's fault that it acts apart from secu lar Powers, nor is it the first time in history, as M. 011ivier asserts, that the Papacy, in face of a hostile world, pursues its own indepen dent course, and relies on its divine powers alone. In a great crisis like the present, the Church, conscious of her origin, knows how to gather up her strength, and whither to turn to for support. Her enemies are legion ; they are at the gates ; no time has to be lost. Rationalism and infidelity are no longer confined to specu lative science ; they are penetrating into the heart of modern society ; they are forming " lay thought" until it is become like to them selves. And this thought, call it lay, or call it by its broader and truer name, infidelity, trans lates itself into political action, and with what result we need no prophet to foretell. Has it not enlightened the world ? Do we not see clearer, better, farther now, into spiritual things than when St. Paul gloried in the cross of Christ ? Has not the art of criticism so far developed itself that " lay thought" denies the divinity of Christ, and doubt s th e ex i s t ence o f God ? What remains for modern society to do but to return to the ways of Paganism, for they were ways of power ? Force was the true ideal of Paganism, and force is the deity now set up for worship. If there be no God in the world, there are " the big battalions." Intel lectual infidelity, Materialism and Force, are to-day the substitutes for Divine Truth and Moral Power. But the Church, strong in the faith which redeemed the world from Pagan ism, has still its last word to say. That word will be spoken in the cEcumenical Council, and it will be war to the knife to religious and political atheism, which, taking its rise in the apostacy of the 16th century, m ohdaesnaf, godlessoundits completest expression in the modern, State.—Westminster Gazette. (Letter to the Univers.) The three speeches delivered in the Corps Legislatif by M. Gueroult, M. 011ivier and M. Baroche, raised a whole body of questions, which have been discussed . and answered a hundred times. In the eyes of men versed in theology and the history of the Church, they are but reminiscences in which are conspicu ous the manifest tendencies of contemporary Democracy towards Muscovite Cazsarism, which is the absorption of humanity, body and soul, by the omnipotent State. The Catholic press is now engaged in the Parlia mentary discussion of the Ancien Regime. now completely overthrown, which raises the ques tion of the relations between Church and State, and the great question of the (Ecumenical Council. I cannot brit applaud the zeal with which the champions of Catholicism endeavour to establish, not only the true principles of re ligious liberty, but the true notions of common sense, outraged and hunted down in our days, as a clerical institution. In pointing out the great contrast which exists between our social institutions of to-day and those of the ancient monarchy of France, between the present position of the French clergy and that which it occupied in the Chris tian ages, it seems to me that the writers en gaged in this great cause have forgotten an essential and decisive point in the contro versy maintained by them with such great talent and .knowledge against Democratic Ca3sarism. Formerly, social organization was based on the principle of unity between the Church and the State ; consequently, the Catholic faith and the ecclesiastical laws were under the protection of the Civil Power, and every attack against the Church was repressed by the secular arm. Another consequence of this state of things was that a man must be a Catholic in order to sit upon the throne of France, or to exercise a public function in the kingdom. Moreover, there were ecclesi astical counsellors in the Parliaments, and the clergy stood at the head of the three orders in the States-General. A different judgment may be formed on this state of things, and malici ous censurers have not been wanting in this matter as in all the rest. But it is an incon testable fact which must be taken into con sideration in comparing the past with the pre sent, in order to avoid falling into the most grotesque anachronisms. The registering of Pontifical decrees and of Councils by the Parliament, was not exactly intended to authorize their publication in the kingdom, nor to establish Parliaments judges of faith and ecclesiastical discipline; but the object was to adopt as laws of the State the dogmatic and disciplinary decrees of Popes and Councils. These decisions as soon as they became known, were obligatory in faro con scientice, the peculiar domain of the Church ; but they had not the force of civil law until they were accepted by the State according to the usual forms, that is their registering by the Parliaments. From that moment it was for bidden to say or do anything contrary to what had been thus sanctioned by the civil power, and writers could not escape these prescrip tions as they could not publish anything with out privilege of the King. What now remains of this social organiza tion ? Nothing, with the exception of the Con cordat, which is adopted into the civil law and the law of 1814, on the observance of the Sun day, which is now only kept as an obligation of the conscience. We might search in vain in the records of the law for an ordinance sanctioning our faith or our ecclesiastical laws. Deprived of this support of the secular arm, which the Church of France does not call for, it remains Tinder the common law, and its relations with the State are governed solely by the Concordat. Between it and the State there is union, but no longer unity. The French clergy have lost the high position which was conferred upon them in return for their great services, but they have procured their independence in the spiritual order and in the hierarchy. Let me sum up what I have said. Under the rule of "Our Kings," as one of our Demo crats affectionately calls them, the State in tervened in questions of doctrine and of eccle siastical discipline, in order to give legal force to the decisions of the Church. In our day, there is no longer any question—there cannot be any question—of intervening in this sense, and the logical consequence of such a state of things is that, as we do not interfere in concerns of the State, the State ought not to mix itself up in our matters. Save in the exercise of civil rights, which appertains to us as to every other citizen, we keep aloof from politics, and, excepting the rights which the Concordat conferred on the State, the State ought to keep aloof from the teaching and the government of the Church. If it oversteps this limit, it invades the domain of conscience; it tramples under foot the distinction between the two powers, which is an essential principle of the Gospel ; it revives the Pontificate of Ca the Pagan Cars. When a claim . is raised of reviving the traditions of the Past, it incum bentssi on those who raise it to accept the Past with all its conditions.

Assuredly is to oppress, crush, and annihilate the Catholic religion. They care little for history, which they do not understand, nor for reason, which condemns them ?

The Democratic platform was adopted. It was resolved, "That if greenbacks were good enough to pay soldiers and mechanics with, they were good enough for the pampered bondholder, who made the war a stepping-stone to military despotism and a pampered aristocracy." It was also decided "That the payment of the national debt is at present inexpedient." General Hancock was nominated for the Presidency, with a saving clause directing the support of the Tammany selection. The hand of fellowship is offered to the Southerner, and mutual forbearance, and the re establishment of fraternal relations counselled. There were about 700 delegates representing all the States and Territories,the nominating Conven tion being 634, representing the States who alone voted. It sat on the 4th of 'July, at about the same hour as the National Convention. General M'Clernand, of Illinois, was elected temporary President, and Gpneral W. B. Franklin, of Con necticut, was elected permanent President of the Convention. On the 6th Generals M'Clennan, Hancock, Slocum, and Franklin were loudly cheered, and the resolutions which we have touched on above were passed. On the 7th Major-General Denver, of California, took Franklin's place, who was unwell ; and General Ewing, of Kansas, caused. some confusion by opposing repudiation. General M'Clennan seemed to be the favourite, his name being greeted with nine times nine. Senator Reverdy Johnson, on the 9ch instant, delivered his farewell speech to the Senate, or rather attempted to do so ; failing in which, as it was re in manuscript, his colleague, Mr. Vickers, him. He referred to ad it for the associations which connected him with the Chamber ; associations of so pleasing a charac ter—and of the uniform courtesy he had met. He expressed the hope that, before his return, the troubles of his country would be ended, and that accomplished, imagination itself could hardly con eeive the futuregreatness of the land. Referring to the office he was about to assume, he said subjects of controversy may arise more or less to distract the friendly relations, but the disturbance could only be temporary. " The interests of both nations are so firmly dependent upon a mutual and friendly understanding, that the people of each cannot fail to see the duty of having it observed ; and I believe that this can be accomplished by the mani festations of reciprocal good will, as our Government is actuated by such a feeling. The complications of the pre sent time, I am satisfied, will soon be removed, and whatever part, under instructions of the President, I may take in the regulations preliminary to such a result, I shall be influenced by a sincere wish to secure to both Governments an adjustment honourable to each; and I have every reason to think I shall be met in the same spirit by the Government to which lam accredited. In all that I may do I shall look with hops to the approval of my associates in this body, and although I may fail in all respects to meet with it, I cannot be mistaken in thinking they will do me the justice to believe that I have been governed throughout by an earnest desire to maintain all the rights and promote the interests of our beloved coun try. It is not at all probable that I shall ever again be a member of the Senate, and it oppressed me to think that I may never, after I leave the country, have the pleasure of seeing again all its members ; but I bag you, Mr Presi dent, and them to be assured that whatever distance may separate us I shall never cease gratefully to remember the kindness evinced for me in this Chamber, or to hope for the happiness and prosperity of its members. When I return irom my embassy I trust and believe there will be an enduring peace between ourselves and the other na tions of the world, and this I am sure can be secured by a firm and courteous maintenance of our rights and a scru pulous regard for the rights of others.". A majority of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, though a minority of the Republicans, have reported in favour of the confirmation of Mr. Evarts, of New York, as Attorney-General, and the Senate will probably confirm him. The Senate has rescinded its action in the case of General John E.. Mulford, and confirmed him as collector of revenue at Richmond, Va., and has also confirmed Leander Valentine no collector, and charles J. Barbour al) NG, JULY 25, 1868. assistant appraiser at Portland, Maine. The nomi nation of Collector Smyth as Minister to Austria has not been dealt_ with, but that of Perry Fuller as commissioner of inti-Tnal revenue, had been re jected. SJ Thad. Stevens did present to the House his new articles of impeachment against the President. He took advantage of the absence of the Democratic members at the New York Convention to bring his little pets forward. The President is charged with abuse of patronage, usurpation, attempts to bribe the Colorado Senators ehet, pardoning deserters, appointing persons to office unable to take the Test Oath, restoring confiscated property, selling par dons, and of further usurpations in the attempt to create new States out of conquered territory. Though vigorous in thought, old Thal. is feeble on the legs, while the reverse of " weak-kneed." The clerk bad to read his speech, which was bit ter and pointed. He doubted the wisdom of a vote on the resolution, concluding that neither in Europe nor America will a chief magistrate be again removed by peaceful means. On Wednesday, the Bth, the Maine Republicans held their State Convention at Portland, and the New York Republicans at Syracuse. In the former Governor Chamberlain was nominated with accla mation ; Grant and Colfax were endorsed, as well as the Chicago Platform. At the latter John A. Griswold, of Troy, was nominated for Governor in the first ballot, receiving 247 votes to 95 for Horace Greeley, and 36 for Stewart L. Woodford. The remainder of the ticket is as follows :—Lieutenant- Governor, Alonzo B. Cornell; Canal Commissioner, Alexander Barclay ; State Prison Inspector, Henry A. Barnum ; Clerk of the Court of Appeals, Camp- bell 11. Young ; Electors at Large, Marshall 0. Roberts and Henry IL Selden. The platform in dorses the Congressional plan of Reconstruction, supports Grant and Colfax, and the Chicago Plat form. The New York Citizen has procured the following interesting calculation of Horatio Seymour's chance for the Presidency :—" We have been furnished by one of the ablest Democratic politicians in this city with the following list of States which will cast their electoral vote for Governor Seymour : Con necticut 6, New York 33, New Jersey 7, Pennsyl vania 26, Indiana 13, Michigan 8, Wisconsin 6, Nebraska 3, California 5, Oregon 3, Nevada 3, Missouri 11, Kentucky 11, Maryland 8, and Dela ware 3 ; total, 146. This lacks only thirteen votes of a majority, and, as all the Southern States: are omitted, there would seem to be room to make these up. If Wisconsin fails us, Minnesota may supply its four votes, so that if we carry Ohio or any two of the Southern States we shall win. .' So mote it be.' " The same paper gives the full list of votes in the electoral college from an official document of the House of Representatives. It states that there is no doubt but that the electoral vote of Mississippi, Texas, and Virginia will be counted, but Colorado is not likely to be admitted in the present session, having given strong evidence cf Democratic pro clivities. States Admitted-Alabama 8, Arkansas 5, California 5, Connecticut 6, Delaware 3, Flo rida 3, Georgia 9, Illinois 16, Indiana 13, lowa 8, Kansas 3, Kentucky 11, Louisiana 7, North Caro lina 9, South Carolina 6, Maine 7, Maryland 7, Massachusetts 12, Michigan 8, Minnesota 4, Mis souri 11, Nebraska 3, Nevada 3, New Hampshire 5, New Jersey 7, New York 33, Ohio 21, Oregon 3, Pennsylvania 26, Rhode Island 4, Tennessee 10, Vermont 5, West Virginia 5, Wisconsin 8-294. Necessary to a choice, 148. States not Admitted- Mississippi 7, Texas 6, Virginia 10-23. Whole number, 317. Necessary to a choice, 159. It is stated that a gentleman of Washington ha s compiled a document entitled the " Democratic Text Book," a compendium of the principles of the Democratic party. Such a work may in truth be said to have a value beyond campaign literature. Whoever can give the world a clear explanation of the principles of the party will spread valuable in formation, whatever may be the result to the party. Like their Tory prototypes in England, they have altogether grown out of their principles, and a regular Copperhead is not unlike a genuine old Tory, and both resemble a big awkward boy in the clothes made for him two years before. This book is to contain biographies of Seymour and Blair, and to give the full text of the former's speech at the Cooper Institute, June 25, as well as Senator Hendrick's exhaustive speech on the Radical policy of Reconstruction. Mr. Schenck's Tax Bill was reported back to the Senate on the 31 inst., and has since been muc't discussed. The vigorous effort made has failed to raise the whisky tax from 50 cents to its old price, $2 per gallon ; but an amendment has been agreed to increasing the special agents of the Revenue De partment from 20 to 50. The sections of the Act relating to banks and bankers have been struck out. Very little business of importance has been trans acted in either House. General Banks fears to bring up the Alaska Appropriation till the Repre sentatives return to Washington, and Mr. Jenckes, of Rhode island, was making a vigorous effort to get his Civil Service Bill passed this session. The Senate had reached no decision on an adjourn ment, though a caucus had been held on the 7th to discuss it. Powell Clayton has been inaugurated Governor of Arkansas, and Governor Bullock Governor of Georgia, in which State the Legislature has orga nized. Benjamin Conley of Augusta was elected President of the Senate, and R. S. M'Whorton of Green county, Speaker of the House. The Loui siana Legislature has elected W. P. Kellogg, United States Senator, for the long term, and John S. Harris for the short term. Governor Holden of North Carolina has delivered his inaugural address. In Alabama General Meade has ordered the newly elected Governor, William 11. Smith, to take pos session of the office, in place of Governor Patton ; and S. T. Applegate, Lieutdnant-Governor, from July 12. Butler's Report on the Impeachment corruption has, as expected, ended in smoke. There is no proof whatever against any Senator, but plenty of insinu ations against those the Manager dislikes. Mr. Boutwell separated from that business by going home to Massachusetts, where he said that though he did not agree with the verdict he thought the trial was fair. It is surprising that when ever Butler wants to perpetrate a questionable act, he pores through English history for a prece dent, and when he gets it, he straightway carries it to the House, and if he fails, he invents one. He does not appear to see that a Butler of the future may go rummaging among these very acts of his own as precedents for future villainies. His own desire to be fortified by some fornur proceeding ought to show him how careful he should be not to furnish them with material. The National American of June has reached us. Our readers are aware that this paper is published in the interest of the Protectionists by the American Industrial League. A statement it makes is rather startling :—" Every daily newspaper in New York, except the Tribune, and at least one able and in fluential journal in each of our principal Western cities, has been subsidized in the interest of free trade, and the curious spectacle is presented of a venal press labouring to discourage home manufactures, and a combination of poets, pro fessors of learning, merchants, ship-builders, editors, &c., &c., under the title of the Free 7rade League, seeking to prove to us how much better off we should be if we would only stop manufacturing, and import every thing free of duty." Where on earth does the money come from ? An organiza tion like the Industrial League, whose interests are directly concerned, might be able to raise funds to influence a few journals, but that one, working on a mere matter of principle, no packet being direbtly concerned, could do so to influence the national press, is something like an exaggeration. Even supposing the importers are composed principally of non-naturalized foreigners temporally located in American sea ports,lit would be simply absurd to assert that they could buy up the Atnerican press. Cannot the Industrial League comprehend a belief in Free-trade as beneficial for the nation on the abstract principles of political economy, and must all who in this differ from th 3 national American be bribed ? Many fatal cases of san-stroke haw been re- ported from all parts of England. A medical paper warns people against exposing their children to the mid-day sun, as is frequently done at watering places. In Staffordshire the heat has almost put a stop to furnace-work. The Mark-lane Express says that in three days many fields which were only whitening have su ldenly ripened, requiring an amount of labour which would have been over whelming but for the aid of machinery. It adds the samples of new white wheat hitherto exhibited have been of fine quality. George Wilkes' Spirit is not easily damped or suppressed. Indeed his Spirit is so good that it would probably bear him harmless through heavier losses than he is likely to sustain. In the number July 11, he offers his political oppnneuts a chance of making some more money, but we would regard a response as coming from one whose boldness much exceeds his discretion. this is the offer :—" Some of oar prsonal friends among the Democracy in formed us, while their National Convention was in session, that they would be willing to lay out a little money with us, even up, on the success of the no minee of that Convention ag limb General Grant. This, therefore, is to say to those gentlemen, and all others similarly inclined, that we have a little money left, notwithstanding our impeachment losses, and stand ready to start anew with a few thousands on General Grant against Seymour for the next Presidency. By way of making a distinct offer, we will begin with five thousand dollars ! We will double this offer if required, and go even a little further if pressed hard ! Who speaks ?" The news by letter from the city of Mexico places Juarez in a bad way. General Riviera had orga nized his forces against the Government almost within sight of the capital, and now he is welcome I in every town in his revolutionary march. General Porfirio Diaz, who is believed to be the coming man, desiring to stand aloof from a doomed Government, has asked for an extension of absence from army duty. The Mexican Congress had adjourned till September. The Supreme Court had rejected Juarez's demand for Lerdo do Tejada, to continue in the office of :Minister of Foreign Relations by 7 votes against 5. This is regarded as a solemn con demnation of the President's policy, which one of the judges took the occasion to express, declaring it to be false, weak, and sad in all senses for the country. The opinion gains ground that Juarez must resign or be deposed, and there are unmistak able signs that a general war is impending. The Government has not enough troops to crush half the revolts ; not a man is available for Yucatan, which requires 5,000 to restore order, and the Sinaloa revolt is only half repressed, while from north-eastern Mexico there is intelligence of a formidable rising. The rate of interest is five per cent. a month, and even at that price no money is to be had. Business is prostrate, and those who have means are striving in every way to realize and get out of the country. _ _ _ Senator Henderson has paid a flying visit to Mis souri, where he has met with a cold reception. The Radical papers took the opportunity of saying some disagreeable things, as being on the spot he was likely to see what was written. A few local Conventions had also been held, where condemna tory resolutions were passed, almost reading him out of the party. " How do the Radicals treat you, Mr. Henderson ?" asked a leading Democratic official. " Rather coolly," answered the Senator. " Come over to us, and we will take you back and treat you well." Henderson, however, is not easily moved from his convictions, as his vote on impeach ment showed, and he intends, as he has announced, to support Grant and Colfax. It affords us great pleasure to see that Mr. Han dell Cossham is likely to be returned for Dewsbury, as Mr. Ernest Jones has withdrawn to accept the invitation to stand for Manchester. Mr. Cosshatn is one of the most consistent of Liberals, and an earnest friend of America; and the more men we see of his stamp in Parliament the more certain will it be that friendly relations between the kindred countries will be maintained and increased. Major-General Howard has formally ordered the discontinuation of the Freedmen's Bureau in South Carolina, and will, as speedily as possible, close the Bureau's business in other States. Die sooner it is closed in South Carolina the better, if what Wade Hampton says be true, who asserts that out of the 156 members of the Legislature nearly a hundred are neg oes, wh) impose taxes of more than $2,000,000, but pay t txes of only $7OO. The General took a desponding view of tha future of the Palmetto State. He considered th tt in a few years' hence there would not be a white person there ; but we confess to thinking it more probable that in that time there may be no negroes there. As yet the Legislature has only met, so it was too early to predict what will be the nature of their legislation. The Round Table speaks rather disrespectfully of Mr. Gladstone's " mingling of Peckniffian and self-advancing ambition," and Mr. Bright's " domineering truculence," whom, it says, English men fear, may be imitated, multiplying bad samples in Parliament. "They foresee," says the Round Table, " groups of people there like Belles and Potter, whom they hold in abomination." At the same time the Round Table acknowledges that Mr. Gladstone and even Mr. Bright " are beings of a higher order of civilization than the dema gogues with whom we are familiar, and have fol lowings superior, both intellectually and socially, to any that an American demagogue could as pire to form." This is not bad of the two fore most orators of England, and one the greatest scholar and statesman of the Empire. But .the Round Table has decided opinions, and although sometimes hard for Americans to take in, there is always in them a great deal of truth. IVe consider the Round Table to be a Liberal-Conservative paper, as understood in England, and more Anglo-Saxon than AmeriCan. Horace Greeley appears to be its especial detestation, and King Arthur is made to write him a homily from his Palace of Camelot on the anniversary of American Independence. There are Round Tables enough in Arthur's letter to supply one to every house in New York, and llorace will never again see a Round Table without his thoughts being carried to 132, Nassau-street, where the Rouad)Table of his imagination is to be found. On the 7th inst. Peter Cagger, of Albany, a rich and liberal Democrat, was thrown from his carriage in the Central Park, New York, and killed on the spot. He was driving with J. E. Devlin, who, it is feared, is fatally in jured. Both are losses to their party. Baron Von Ledderer, hitherto Austrian Minister resident for the Hanse Towns, has been appointed Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of Austria to the United States. Charles Francis Adams, late Minister to Eng land, arrived in Now York on Tuesday, July 7, in time to hear the Democratic platform announced, and to proceed home thoroughly disgusted. Tho principal motive, it is said, which induced Mr Adams to withdraw from his post was his desire to prepare an edition of the works of his father, John Quincy Adams. Mr. George W. Childs, proprietor of the Phila delphia Ledger, gave his usual Fourth of July dinner this year to 150 newsboys. Goldwin Smith, the American papers say, has selected Providence, Rhode Island, for his residence ; but the people are warned that he will naturally Feeka stu dent's privacy, and, as an invalid, may hold himself some what aloof from general society. At the close of the New York Sehutzenfest, John Becker, of Guttenburg, N.J., was crowned " Sehutzenkonig," or king of the sharp shooters, he having hit the bull's eye 136 times. He was crowned with a wreath of flowers, and received a pipe worth $lOO, a Pa nama hat worth $BO, five gold and eleven silver medals, and .various other smallerrewards, worth in all over $lOOO. Of the honorary prizes Henry Kebel, of Williamsburgh, Long Island, received a $lOOO 5-20 Bond; Fred. Buhl, of New York, the silver horn of Vienna; John Nunch, of New York, a Steinway piano; and Emil Berger, of New York, a gold mounted telescope, rifle, and $lOO in green backs. General M'Dowell, who was latAy superseded in the command of the Fourth Military District, has ar rived at Washington and called on the President. General Grant was to spend some days at bis farm, near St. Louis, where he had arrived. He was ac companied beyond Cincinnati by General Sherman. Thurlow Weed had so far recovered as to sail on the 7th instant for Europe, where ho safely arrived this week by the Umbria, and we hope benefited in health by the sea voyage. The Washinton correspondent of the New York Citizen, in alluding to the forty-seven Democratic mem -1:-,rs in the House of Representatives, thus writes of some -who were ()facers in the Union tinny during the rebellion. Phelps of Baltimore was Colonel of the 7th Maryland, and was brevetted Brigadier for gallant conduct. Mun gon of Ohio was Colonel of the 57th Ohio ; Adams of Kentucky was Captain iu the Ist Kentucky; MCor /nick of Missouri was an officer in the Missouri Volun teers ; Haight of North Jel ;3. y was an officer of the North Jersey Militia, and assisted the Governor and Adjutant-Oeneral of that States in arming, eqiipping and placing the New Jersey troops in the field ; Sitgreaves . of New Jersey lost an only son, an officer in a new Jersey regiment ; Judge Woodward of Pennsylvania had a son severely wounded and mutilated, an officer iu one of the Pennsylvania regiments, and now an officer of one of the Veteran Reserve regiments (Forty-fifth), Randall of Penn sylvania (who, by the way, is a useful and valuable member, has been_ nominated by the Democracy of his District) was Cornet of the First City Troop of Phila delphia that volunteered in the early part of the war. Some of the literary and reform women of Boston and vicinity have formed a New England Women's Club. Mrs. Severence, airs. E. D. Cheney, Mrs. Howe, and Mrs. Julia Peabody, are among its leaders, and it is intended to be open to' all sympathizing sisters iu New England. A Poughkeepsie, N.Y., paper, wishes the Hud son river to be lined with colossal statues. It proposes 3 statue of Hudson at the entrance of the Highlands, one of Liberty at Grape Island, ono of Washington at West Point, and ono of Fulton at Pollipel's Island! Henri St. Marie is, if the bill now before the House passes, to get $lO,OOO for the arrest of Surratt. John A. Bingham has been nominated for the Sixteenth Ohio district for the seventh Hine. He ad dressed the St tte Convention of the Maine Republicans, as did also General Sickles on the Bth inst. The officers of the Phi Beta Kappa in Trinity College, Hartford, are as follows :—President, Professor J. Brockiesby ; Vice-president, Rev. Walter Mitchel, of the Alpha of Massachusetts; Secretary, Professor Niles, class of '57 ; Treasnrer, T. J. Driggs, class of '4B. The class of '4B held their vigintennial celebration on Wednes day afternoon, the Bth of July. A vigorous attempt made by Mr. Stevens, of Pennsylvania, to get an increase of salaries for the Wash ington clerks, failed as decidedly as before. A Japanese novelist, named Kioyte Bakin, is said to have recently completed a story of 106 volume, which it took 38 years to publish. General Samuel Days, °ace a prominent politi cian of Pennsylvania, number of Congress twenty y e ars ago, and father of General Alexander Hays, who was killed in the \battle of the Wilderness, has just died at his residence in Franklin, Pennsylvania aged 88 years. It is stated that " sun-set " Cox will be elected for Congress this year by New York. As yet but one member has been elected for the forty-first Congress, and he is a Democrat, the Hon. I. G. Smith, of Oregon. Professor Whitney, who has recently returned from a geological survey of California, is engaged upon $ volume to be entitled "The Yo Semite Giftbook." It will be an edition de luxe, illustrated with maps and photogra phic views, and but 25J copies printed. Gen. and ex-Gov. Joseph R. liiwley of Hart ford was to delver an oration at Hamilton College i n New Ycrk, wilere he graduated, at the commencemen t exercises, on the 15th inst. Rev. George B. Eastman of Michigan has been elected president of Norwich University, Vermont, an d Capt. Curtis, U.S.A., professor of military tactics. The New York electoral ticket is headed With, the name of George W. Curtis,. and includes those a' Moses H. Grinnell, Alexander T. Stewart, Charles S' Spencer, and George W. Demers, editor of the Albany Evening Journal. Mr. Curtis has proceeded to his summe r residence in Ashfield. The health of Senator Grimes, who is at present at Bath, Maine, is said to be almost wholly restored. has gained in flesh, and does not find any difficulty in using . his limbs. He does not purpose returning to the Sen ate this session, but will shortly leave for his home in lowa. Mr. Samuel C. Davi s , an em pl o y e o f VVason and Co. of Springfield, Massachusetts, was drowned on tb° afternoon of the 6th instant with his wife and son Wh ile , crossing the South H o l yo k e F erry . Th e acc id en t was extraordinary. Mr. Davis, while in the ferry-boat, topic off the bridle of the horse to allow him to drink, and th e animal, becoming frightened, sprang from the bows of the boat into the river, taking Mr. Davis with him as well 3° the carriage, in which his wife and son were Beate I. / be ferryman Smith was carried over also, and had the greatest difficulty in saving himself. The New York Citizen says :—" The Hon. Sand" ford E. Church, of this State, and one of the very best me ° in it, is rather injured in his chances for next Govern er by Seymour's nomination. B o th . G overnor an d Preside nt cannot, obviously, be taken from the interior. The 83°- coss of the Tammany programme likewise goes far t : make it certain that Chamberlain Sweeney will be th e next next Democratic nominee for Governor Morgan's place the United States Senate. It is confidently predicted th e ' our majority in the State this year will ba from 75,000 t° 100,000 over Grant and Griswold.
