THE EXPRESS, MONDAY E'

'
lift up its voice in mildly depmestitti accent!
alarm is received with derisive camposion by 11

Univers. For are not the Vetieenand the

Offioe and the College of the Oatechamens Sued
under the protection of Fronk Mote, and is not•ma
revival of ecclesiastical domination the due and
desirable result of French intervention ? Instead
of protesting timidly against the exercise of
spiritual authority in Italy, the Imperial Government
would do well to sign a new Coooordat guaranteeing
the *eery rights of the Church in France.

It k curious to observe how completely the
reepeckibility of the Holy Father for the OXONIATO
seal of a cardinal at Bologna eludes all attempts to
fix and define it, As Temporal Prince he cannot in-
tack's with the spiritual authority, mach low as
Hood of the Church.

In France, since 'B9, Jew and Gentile, Catholic
and Protestant, have lived together cm time of
legal, if not always of administrative, equality. If
the last Prime lifullster of the oonatitutional mow
archy was a Protestant, the first Minister of State
of the fleoand Empire is a Jew ; and looking to its
financial and industrial speculations, we may almost
prowess, tie whole fabric of Imperial Franco to be
a 'swish dispensation. But at Rome, when the
Cheek Is temporally and spiritually paramoent, a
Jew or a Protestant is in the eyes of the law (ex-
cept by courtesy) no better than a " Christian doe
is the eyes of a Turk; unless be be a cosmopolitan
financier or a British tourist.

If the Papacy desires a short life and a merry one,
by all mesas let it persist in the laudable practice of
kidnapping. For the tempest of amazement which
the scandal of Bologna has raised throughout Europe
marks decisively enough, for those who have eyes to
me, the regress of opinion in Catholic countries in
the lest hundred years. The civilised world, it is
deer, has mud to gravitate towards Catholic
dogmas, though it is seetent to laugh in its sleeve
until some meesitrews outrage almost makes it weep at
the crimes and impostures which, aided and abetted
by fools and tyrants, still disfigure and pervert the
simplicity of a religion of human charity and
divine love.

The three emotional rendered necessary by the ap-
pointment of as many members of Parliament to
the Council of India have just been decided. Their
remits indicate as little as poedble the general cur-
rent of opinion ; for allowing Captain ILtantmr, as an
unopposed candidate, to count the whole coned-
tuency of Leominster on his side, the three hem
gentlemen have beau retuned by the retro of sot
more than a thousand electors In all. Neverthelese
such political tentioneies as they denote are in the
right direction.
Guildford has not repeated the mistake of 1867,
when she returned, in the person of Mr. Boetu., •
Conservative, in the room of a Liberal. The Con-
servatives of that borough were fairly challenged
last week by Mr. Oustow ; they responded heartily,
sad fought a good battle for Mr. EVELYN, the
former member for the county, and personally ao-
NSW@ is • candidata. They have, however, been
well beaten by a gentleman who will vote for the
Bast and the Imeterruite and unconditional abolition
Chninh-ratee.

At Reigate, Sir Event RAWLINSON has been re-
placed by Mr. MONSON, a Liberal of eo secretive a
tarn that it was not till the very day of nomination
that his opinions were known to the electors. Not
till then did he declare himself in favour of the aboli-
tion of Church-ratas and for vote by Ballot, for both of
which Sir HIJIT RAWLINSON had voted, notwith-
standing his Camerrative leanings. We believe we
do the new esesaber no injostioe in assuming that,
should either of these-causes derive important aid from
his vote, a large share of the merit of it will be due
to his opponent, Mr. ARVIN' WILKINSON, a oon-
sistant and tried Reformer, who, in contesting the
seat on this occasion, has fixed a limit below which
the Tory supporters of Mr. MONSJN mat not de-
press the hitherto uncertain liberalism of that gen-
tleman.

()Wain Hammer, whose pretensions no Liberal
thought it worth while to dispute at Leominster,
speaks like a politician of the HINLIBY school, and
will deebthes be baud am faithful an adherent of
Lord DWI* u Mr. WILLOUGHBY, whom he we-
ends. It is quite natural that the weekly organ of
" an obsolete oligarchy" should express an opinion
that " the character of the members has been
" improved by these elections, the new men having
" less of the adventurer slam than those whom they
" replace." Bat there is se reason why it should
become absurd, and speak of these " three undoubted
" aristocrats, with the terrible ' honourable' to their
" names," as the " elected of the people."
The three sons of lords who have jest coo-
raided in their political projects can gain
nothing by having their qualifications contrasted
on the one hand with those of three men who
have been trained in the finest civil service in 1
the world and served their country well in positions
of responsibility, and on the other with men like Mr.
Haim sad Mr. BUCHANAH, whose names are sud-
denly dragged in fbr disperagrinent. The young gen-
tlemen will doubtlem wish to make their own repute.
tioa,aad they have a light to the opportunity of doing
is without the prejudice which attends invidious
omperisons. If it had been worth while to notice
that all the new members have a lordly origin, we
might have expected to see a really liberal journalist
pointing out that this reinforcement of the wimp-
eratio element in the Howse of Commons is supplied
by senstftneneiss of the suns order, and that small,
ekes beesuighs are the vermin of legislators of the
HAURBUILY and Moiraoe type.
