THE ACTUAL STATE OF ITALY.

The Times, in an article on the present state
of Italy, the first part of which we give in
another page, says :—" We do not know any
other country in Europe where the statistics
of crime produce such fearful results." Mur-
der, -violent robbery, forgery, are common
crimes, not perpetrated under pressure of dis-
tress, or by the ignorant, but by men of the
middle classes, merchants, lawyers, doctors,
agents of police, the very men who have been
foremost in carrying out the revolution, in
attacking religion, and pillaging the churches.
It is this corrupt and anti-Christian class, in
whose hands the Government of Italy now is,
that furnishes this extraordinary contingent
of crime. The very men who constitute the
municipalities and direct the revolution are
those, as the Times itself in forms us, who
look on with the greatest unconcern at the
perpetration of crimes which, in civilized coun-
tries, would rouse public indignation. A man,
in fulfilment of his duty as public prosecutor,
is murdered at Ravenna in full daylight out
of vengeance, and we are told not "a single
member of the municipality had the grace to
join the mournful procession of a few of his
colleagues who carried his body to the railway
station, in. sign of regret or protest against the
crime."

The sympathy of the middle classes, who are,
if not more tempted, at least more guilty of
these mercenary and violent crimes than any
other class in the community, is not with law
and order, but with pillage and assassination.
Their desire to grow rich and powerful has
been quickened into a morbid and almost irre-
sistible passion ; the relaxation of public law
and morality has operated with a terrible effect
on those most nearly concerned with the re-
volutionary movement which, during the last
five or six years, has brought Italy to the
verge of moral ruin as of material bankruptcy.
The public war which the governing class has
carried on against the Church has loosened
the bonds of religion in private life. It is not
our part to expose here the gross immorality,
which every traveller .in Italy reports as dis-
gracing social life, and changing the moral
aspect of the country. Outward and violent
manifestations of lawlessness soon follow in-
ternal corruption, and when this unrestraint
takes the form, as it is now doing in Italy, of
violent attacks on the person and property,
the representatives of decent and outward
obedience to the moral law and to the respect
for property are shocked. The spoliation of
monasticof
the Church,
the attacks upon thee pillaging of the posses-
sions
clergy, the abuse of religion, have not been
slow in producing their natural results. The
men who were the greatest enemies of the
Pope and of the Church, are now the greatest
enemies of social order. The Times itself,
which long supported the Revolution, and was
jubilant over the overthrow of the Church in
Italy, and of the approaching emancipation of
men's minds from the thraldom of religion, is
now terrified that the maxims which it preached
against the Papacy, are being put in practice in
the warfare which social disorganization is car-
rying on against the upholders of order and of
the rights of property. The passions of men are
not so easily controlled ; once let them loose
and you can no longer say " So far shall you
go and no farther." European Liberalism
cheered lustily while the Revolution went in
its fury up against the Papacy ;
b'it now it
shrieks in terror when it sees the Revolution,
repulsed from Rome, fling itself in violence
upon Italy itself, devouring its substance,
murdering and pillaging, until the public
credit of the Revolution is shaken in Europe.
The Times makes a desperate effort in the last
part of the article in qnestion to remove the im-
pression the series of crimes and the profound
corruption which it speaks of as constituting
the actual state of Italy to-day, would convey
as to the corrupting effects of the Revolution,
by stating broadly that Italy was disgraced
by similar crimes under the Government of
the Popes. It even ventured, in order to
give a colouring of truth to assertions which
are only thrown as dust to blind the eyes of
such as may choose to be blinded, to state
" that cardinals and delegates used to be shot
and stabbed in those cities of the Romagna as
freely and safely as prefects and magistrates
arc at the present day." This comparison
of the murders which are now committed
under -the rule .of the Revolution in the cities
of the Romagna with the alleged murders of
cardinals and delegates in the period preceding
the revolution, brought from Sir George
Bowyer a, speedy contradiction of the alleged
assassinations of cardinals and delegates.
This contradiction is not fairly met by a letter
which appeared the next day in the Tines,
apparently from Gallenga, signed " An
Italian," and dated from- the 'Athemeum Club,
and in which it was affirmed, not that murders
of cardinals and delegates had been committed
with the impunity which now attends mur-

dens, but that two attempts at killing had been
made thirty or forty years ago. Precise facts
is to the actual state of Italy under its pre-
sent immoral and irreligious Government are
by no means counterbalanced by vague state-
ments put forward by anonymous correspon-
dentS as to its condition under Papal and
Catholic rule.—lVestminster Gazetfr.

MISCELLANEOUS NEWS.

(From the Anglo-American Times.)

The 7 lilies yesterday published a letter from the
Savannah correspondents of a well-known Liver-
pool firm, dated June 2, on the prospects of the
cotton crop. They believe it cannot exceed that of
last year, and fear they will not for the next ten
years again see a three-million crop. The only
figures given are those of some parties from Co-
lumbus, who statel,6oo,ooo bales to be the minimum,
and 2,000,000 bales the max!inunt production of
the season. They mention it, as a well ascer-
tained fact that negro field labour has dwindled
to nearly one-half ; the woman and chil-
dren not being now so employed, which we
hold to be a good sign. They complain of the
negroes squatting through the woods on patches,
and living along river courses on fish. They fear
the labourers will be withdrawn for electioneering
purposes, and they condemn the policy of elevating
the negro above the white man. With regard to
the proportion of land planted, about one-third of
the Mississippi bottoms are under cultivation, and,
with the exception of Texas they calculate the fall-
ing off to the west of the river to be fully a quar-
ter. In Georgia, Florida, and Mississippi many
large plantations worked last year are now idle,
mainly from the loss sustained by the planters,
who were compelled by their necessities to sell
the produce before the rise in price. The
crop is later than last season, retarded by the
heavy rains and cold weather. The army worm in
Louisiana and the caterpillar in Florida, it is said,
have made their appearance, and if so they are two
months earlier than last year. Many tracks of land
have been sown with corn in consequence of the de-
struction in 1867 caused by these insects. But the
danger is in their early appearance, as in July and
August they do little harm, often good, by strip-
ping the leaves off the plant, and allowing the sun
the better to mature the bolls, all usually lost being
the top crop, which is uncertain at best. A Southern
paper states that a train was stopped by the multi-
tude of the worms crossing the track while moving
southwards through .Mississippi in a mass two miles
broad.

The nomination of Gen. Schofield was followed by
his installation, June 1. He was accompanied to the
War-office by the President and by old " ad interim,"
that he might receive the office from him instead of
from Gen. Townsend, to whom Stanton had given
charge, so that by no formality should Stanton's
right be recognized or that of Thomas as acting
Secretary be disputed. The question, therefore,
remains as before, the Senate maintaining a poAtion
in opposition to that held by the President. The
voting of the " recreants" on the nomination was
awaited with interest, and Trumbull, Ross, Van
Winkle, Henderson, and Fowler went with the
Democrats against the adoption of the preamble ;
Fessenclen and Grimes were absent. Andrew
Johnson was highly delighted when he stood vic-
torious in the War-office, and made no effort to con-
ceal the gratification he, experienced from his
triumph over his enemy, Stanton.
'While the President was crowing on the spot
from which he had unearthed Stanton after so long
and varied a contest, the Senate was passing a re-
solution of thanks to the late War Minister for
his able and patriotic discharge of his duties. The
votes of the anti-Impeachment Republican Sena-
tors were again carefully scanned, and it was
found that Ross, Henderson, and Fowler joined
the Democrats against the resolution. A Senator
endeavoured to include Chief Justice Chase in the
vote of thanks for his dignified and impartial con-
duct during the trial, but this was rejected. The
reason given for refusing to confirm the appoint-
ment of Mr. Stanbery as Attorney-General was
that lie had declined to argue in the M'Ardle
habeas Corpus case—that is, to defend the legisla-
tion of Congress though a Government officer.
Four Republican Senators only voted with the
Democrats for Ins nomination.

Mr. M'Culloch has forbidden the sailing from
New Orleans of the ironclada Oncota and Catawba,
which were intend.; 1 t) be sol 1 to Peru for use
against Spain. The ad vices from Lima were to the
14th May, and apprehensions were then entertained
of a war between Chili and Peru, and if so it is not
improbable that these vessels would have been used
against the Sister Republic. Mr. M'Culloch's
action is in strong contrast to that of the English
Government during the American War.
On Wednesday, at Paris, at the sitting of the
Legislative Body, the bill proposing to give greater
development to the postal service in the Indian,
Chinese, and Japanese seas was adopted by 191 votes
against 2.
The Chinese Embassy, during its few days resi-
dence at Washington, were the " lions" of the capi-
tal, furnishing pictures for Frank. Leslie, material
for penny:a-liners, and objects of curiosity for so-
ciety. Mr. Seward was quite in his element ; for
when not lion-taming with his skilled and trenchant
pen, he likes to be exhibiting the animas that he
has drawn to the seat of Government. On the sth
instant he introduced them to the President at a
private interview. Mr. Burlingame appears to be
a ()Teat favourite with the Celestials. They return
in a few days to New York, where great hospitali-
ties await them from the wealthy citizens. Already
they have inspected the "crack" New York Regi-
ment, the 7th National Guard. Mr. Burlingame
anticipates great results from his mission, and the
growing intimacy between the Pacific States and
the Celestial Empire cannot fail to have lasting and
important effects.
The 30th May is the day set apart for decorating
the graves of those who fell during the war in de-
fence of the Union. Business at Washington was
suspended, and about 5,000 pedestrians and 500
vehicles made their way to Arlington Heights,
where waggon-loads of evergreens and spring
flowers were distributed to the decorating com-
mittees, and strewn by orphans on the soldiers'
graves. In the procession was General Grant,
walking with his little daughter Nellie. At Long
Island Cemeteries crosses of camellias, crowns of
tuber roses awl lilies, pots of japonicas, baskets,
and bouquets were supplied in great abundance by
the people. At many cemeteries there was a reli-
gious service. At the Barracks Cemetery, below
St. Louis, Missouri, above 11,000 graves of Union
soldiers were decorated, and the same honour was
paid to the 600 graves of the rebel soldiers.
New Haven, alone of the principal New England
towns, failed to observe the day.
One of the first effects of the failure of Impeach-
' ment is to have aroused in many of the mean whites
down South the hopes of a return to the pleasant
days when they could " wallop their niggers" and
" shoot any cuss on sight." The consequence is
that many of the coloured people are having a hard
time of it ; but as the general testimony is that the
intelligence of the Southern States is enlisted in
favour of peace and re-union, we may hope that
this manifestation of feeling is but momentary.
Even Mr. Sumner is beginning to think of remov-
ing the political disabilities of Southerners, and the
following is a reply to a South C trolinian :—" I
have your letter of the 19th in reference to the
removal of your political disabilities. I am not sure
that the time has yet come to make exceptions to
our general policy in individual cases ; to do so
would be to open the door to innumerable applica-
tions, and once open, it would be difficult to shut it.
I hope to meet, such eases as your's by some general
enactment, and as soon as the condition of the
country will permit, I shall be the first to advocate
the removal of all disabilities under which you la-
bour at present."

The man of the President's choice for Minister
to Great Britain was not Senator lteverdy Johnson,
but General M'Clellan. His name was sent to the
Senate, but the Committee on Foreign Affairs in-
structed Mr. Sumner to report against it. There
are personal reasons why it should suit the General,
but not suit the nation. M'Clellan has developed
a decided taste, as the syringfield Republican says,

" for living abroad, and would be nicely accommo-
dated by the appointment and the salary appertain:
ing to the Court of. St. James." 'F lie Senate judged
rightly in thinking that an Ambassador fresh from
contact with American life and American sentiment
would be better qualified to do justice to the nation.
His diplomatic quality was never tested but once,
and that was by his letter to President Lincoln from
Harrison's Landing.
George C. Gorham, of California, has been elected
to the Secretaryship of the Senate in succession to
Colonel Forney. He is of Connecticut origin, still
young, and of weight in California, as his nomina-
tion for Governor last year divided the party, and
led to its defeat. Several Republican Senators ob-
jected to him on. account of his failure, which was
alleged to have been in consequence of misconduct.
It is possible that the party desire to remove a
stumbling-block in the way of Republican unity
in the Pacific State, and to console Mr. Gorham for
his defeat. He is clever and varied in experience,
having been an editor, lawyer, clerk of Judge
Field's Court, and leader of the lobby in California.
Breckenridge, of Kentucky, stood next ; Sam. Wil-
kinson, the journalist, received some votes, and
three were cast for Major Poore. A ballot was not
taken for Executive Clerk, but the names of F. M.
Morris of Connecticut, Flagg of Vermont, General
Vickers of Nebraska Territory, Hamlin of New
Hampshire, and Branscomb of Missouri were pre-
sented. Other changes in the under officers are in
contemplation, with regard to Mr. de Witt Clarke
and one of the chief assistants.

General Schofield does not resign his position iu
the army, leave of absence being granted to him,
extending over his occupancy of the Secretaryship
of War. He will receive his army pay, and his
staff will be given places in the WTar-ollice, but not
many other changes there will be effected. The
President was urged at the last moment by some
of his injudicious advisers to cancel the appoint-
ment. They state that Andrew Johnson does not
realize the strength acquired by his victory over
Congress. Had he taken this advice he might
quickly and disagreeably have realized it. The
Senate has distinctly expressed the opinion, in
sanctioning General Schofield's nomination, that
the President's removal of Mr. Stanton was illegal
and unconstitutional, and the position would have
been an extraordinary one had Stanton resolutely
refused to resign.
From California we learn that the shipments of
wheat for the harvest year ending June 30 will
equal that of the preceding year. At the close of
April the shipments had reached 229,500 tons ;
and, considering that in May and June of last
year the shipments were 35,000 tons, if that be
equalled, the total for 1868 will reach 261,500, or
10,000 more than for the last harvest year. As
wheat was coming in slowly it is possible that the
total will not exceed that of last year, but what is
of more importance are the prospects for the coming
harvest; which are so favourable, and the breadth
of ground sown so much greater that a crop far in
excess may reasonably be expected. The rates of
freight, via Cape Horn, have within three years
risen from 50 to 75 per cent. ; yet so well adapted
is California for growing grain, so improved the
facilities for handling the crop, that it bids fair to
become one of the greatest of wheat exporting coun-
tries, It is established by a careful examination of
the figures that San Francisco can export with a
larger profit to the grower than Chicago, and it
is not improbable that the value of the whe it
grown will soon equal that of the gold extracted in
this Pacific State.

Mr. Sumner, on the 3d instant, offered resolutions
in the Senate which were laid aside for future action,
but which, we imagine, will be indefinitely post-
poned. They assert the right of the people to pass
a judgment on the vote of Senators as well in the
exercise of judicial power as in their legislative capa-
city. The preamble declares that pretension has
been put forth to the effect that the vote of a
Senator on Impeachment is so far different in cha-
racter from his vote on any other question that the
people have no right to criticise or consider it;
0 and whereas, such pretension, if not discounte-
nanced, is calculated to impair that freedom of judg-
ment which belongs to the people on all things done
by their Representatives ; therefore, to remove all
doubts on this question, we declare constitutional
the rights of the people in cases of Impeachment."
['he first resolution maintains that the Supreme
Court has not escaped this ja igment in deciding
political questions, as in the " Dred Scott Deci-
ian," and th tt, therefore, even if the Senate in its
judicial capacity be regarded as a Court, it cannot
be exempt. The second resolution states that the
Senate is never a Court, but is always a Senate ;
that a proceeding by Impeachment is not according
to law, nor followed by legal punishment, but po-
litical from beginning to end. The third resolution
assumes that as the Senators are always under oath,
the supplementary oath taken for au Impeachment
Trial has no effect in changing the character of
the Senate as a political body, who are equally
responsible to the people for their votes, it
being the constitutional right of the people at all
tunes to sit in judgment on their Representatives.
Senator Sumner does not say where and how the
people are to sit, what the nature of the evidence is
to be, or any of the other little formularies by which
such assemblies are regulated. He may be sure
that the people who are fond of discussing the acts
of their servants and neighbours will discuss their
Representatives under all circumstances, and he
certainly cannot complain of the attention the
"recreants" have received; but we are not yet in
possession of the people's decision, for they have
bawled so loudly condemnation and approval, that
we cannot tell which voice was the loudest, but we
do know that ignorance of the circumstances is no
bar to strong opinions.
On the Ist June air. Bowen, the Republican can-
' didate, was elected Mayor of Washington by a
small majority. As the Democrats have a majority
in the City Council, the patronage by the recent
Act of Congress remains in their hands. The capi-
tal was the scene of a disgraceful Negro riot during
the election. On the previous night several Afri-
cans from Virginia entered the shanties in Four-
teenth-street, and were registered and supplied
with ballots. At daylight on the Ist June they
proceeded to the polling place, but in the evening
it was shown that the Democrats had a small ma-
jority. Next morning it was announced that errors
had been discovered, the rectification of which gave
the Republicans a majority of 71. That night the
negroes marched in procession, headed by a band,
to serenade the Mayor elect. In front of the office
of the Washington Chronicle John W. Forney,
Mayor Morse, and others addresse I them. Mr.
Forney's speech was highly incendiary, and the
negroes, inspired by bad liquor :and his remarks,
broke into riot, forced an entry into two drug
shops, two restaurants, and one grocery, and con-
sumed all the whisky they could obtain. A white
man named Faulkner was killed near the National
Hotel in Pennsylvania Avenue, and Saow and
Spaulding met the saina fate in the First Ward.
Hamlin was so seriously cut and maimed in the
Third Ward that his life is despaired of, and
many others were badly wounded. An attempt
was made to sack the office of the National Intelli-
gencer, but was frustrated by the police. Threats
continuing to be made, and the riots, extending over
the 3d, the President ordered troops to be sent for to
protect public property. As there is a Democratic
in tjority in the City Council, an attempt will be
made to unseat Mayor Bowen. The Council were
to organize on the Bth to count the votes, and coin-
pare them with the checked lists on the registry,
when it is supposed that frauds will be discovered
sufficient to change thd complexion of the election,
and make the Democratic candidate, Mr. Given,
successful.

The election in Oregon came off on the Ist June
for a member of Congress, a State Legislature, and
county officers ; and in a full vote, after a sharp
contest, J. S. Smith, Democrat, was chosen Cju-
gressman by a majority little short of 2,000, most
of the Legislative and county offic3rs being of the
Conservative stripe. The Republican Governor
Woods holds office till 1870, and Senator Williams
retains his seat till 1871, but, judging from this re-
sult, both will then be replaced by Democrats. At
the election in 1866 the Republican, Rufus Mal-
lory, carried the State by a majority of 553, and the
party secured in the Legislature a majority of

seven, while in the preceding election, in 1864, the
Republican majority was 3,000. The Radical 3 say
that Andrew Johnson his so distributed the Federal

patronage on the Pa.:ific coast that there is lite°

prospect of Republican success till the general Go-
vernment is in their hands, and the. Conservatives
are highly delighted, declaring the result to indicate
the general vote of the Pacific States in the fall,
" the first gun for Grant."

A gentleman who has recently visited Ceylon
speaks thus of the oldest living missionary of the Ameri-

work though now seventy-six years of ago. Ile spends
two days a week with a Bible Revision Uommittee, vtork-
ing from morning till night, and not unfrequintly attonds
a moonlight evening meeting, preaching .an hour after a
day's work. I drove out with him on one of those even"
inns ton miles. We held meetings in two places, return-
Mg for our tea at ten o'clock, and after a good night'S
sleep, ho was not the worse for work the next day. ID
looks older than in 1853, but retains his vigour wonder-
fully. Mrs. Spaulding, though now seventy-two years of
age, has her class of girls on the house veranda as in
younger days." Dr. S. went to Ceylon in 1819. Forty-
nine years of work in the ministry. is as much as most men
