French IMMIoRASTs.-The arrival Of 2ls
French Communists at Nauvoo, Illinois, is no
ticed in the Quincy Wig, where, welearn from
the same source, they intend to locate perma-
neatly. They are composed mostly of mechanics
and farmers, having with them their implements
OF husbandry and variety Of tools suited to
their several trades. Their religion is similar
to that Of the UnitaIians, and their manner Of
living much like the Socialists though, unlike
many Of the French and English Socialists, they
arc scrupulously strict in the preservation os To-
virtue of their domestic circle. This company
is headed by Monsieur Cabot, the great French
politician who for forty years has been the lead
or of the Republican party in the House Of Dep.
uties, FIVE years Chief Justice of the Island q
Corsica, was instrumental in the overthrow Of
Charles X. and Louis Philippe, and was banshi
cd by the latter from France for the term o
FIVE years. In this company arc many Of Mon
sieur CADETS firm friends, who have been with
him in his endeavors to extricate France from
kingly power, and have often been imprisoned
for their advocacy Of republican principles.
Monsieur CADET and company lead the way, and
$4,000 follow in the wake.

TEMPERANCE LAW or WIscossiN.-A re-
markedly stringent bill in relation to the sale Of
intoxicating drinks, has recently passed the Le-
gslaiurc OF Wisconsin. It requires all person.
who would vend or retail "spirituous liquors.
to give bond to the town authorities, with three
surctieS, in $1,000, conditioned to pay all dam.
ayes the community or individuals may sustain
BY reason Of such traffic 10 support all paupers,
widows and orphans; pay the expenses OF all
civil and criminal prosecutions made growing
gu, of, and justly attributable TO such traffic"
And 1t is made the duty Of the officer holding
the bond, to deliver it to "any person who may
claim to be injured by said traffic"
The bill passed the Senate by vote Of 10 to
3, and the Assembly 20 TO 81. We believe no
other Legislative body in the United States has
taken so decided a stand against the curse Of
run,-selling as that Of Wisconsin.

GREAT Rror IN MONTREAL Destruction

Canada, growing out Of the passage Of bill to

RELIGIOUS LIBERTY IN ESGLASD.-Ou,
last London papers report the proceedings Of,
public meeting held to consider a case Of eccl,,.
ias,ieal oppression which may well shock the NOR.
al sensibiities Of the nineteenth century.
The Rev. james Shore, for nearly twcnJ
years minister in the Established Church viii.
in the diocese Of the Bishop Of Exeter, saw Ct
more than year since TO come out from The E.
Enlistment and commence rs Non-conformis;
first notifying his Bishop, and qualifying himself
by assuming the usual obligations Of Non-con-
formist before a magistrate.
The Bishop Immediately brought suit against
him, and the court condemned the clergyman,
on the ground of an obsolete but unrepealedlaw
of 1908. An appeal was taken, but the decis-
ion Of the lower court was sustained, and Mr.
Shore now lies in prison, with bill Of costs
agains. him Of nearly eight hundred dollars
The law principle laid down by the courts 7
that a clergyman Of the Established Church
cannot withdraw or cease to be amenable to hi
Bishop, without the consent Of the latter.
These facts have excited strong sensation, a
well they may, and the Bishop of Exeter stand
fair chance of winning an Infamous immortal
;iy. A bill has been brought before Parlismer
for the repeal of the law under which Mr. Shor
suffers, and in the end the interests Of religion
freedom will probably be advanced by this out
rageous stretch of prelaticsl power.
