The editorial Of the Baltimore Sun of
this morning is about the recent religious
riot at Montreal. In relation to the lee
lures of " Father Gayazzi" the Sun says,
and we fully agree with it
"For our own part, we are ayerse to
such modes of religious contention. We
cannot perceive that they are ever pro-
ductive Of any good result. while it is
manifest that they foment discord, and
scatter suspicion, distrust, and strife
throughout the community. They incul-
cate none of the Christian virtues The
spirit Of forbearance and charity is not
evoked; on the contrary, defamation and
moral denunciation of the most unQuali-
fled tone stirs up the Indignation Of those
against whom it is directed, and retalia-
tory proceedings are presently devised
and put in aclion. 1t is an experiment
with the most inhammable passions of
the human heart; and those who carry it
on, under whatsoever plea they may put
forth, whether impelled by the religious
sentiment or moved by the hope of gain,
are like people amusing themselves with
fireworks i'll the midst Of an arsenal,
which at any moment may involve them
selves and their neighbors in q terrible
and destructive explosion"
The Black Swan has divided the honors
of Stafford House with Mrs. Stowe. At a
concert given there by the Duchess of
Sutherland, for the purpose of bringing
her forward, her Accomplishments were
played by Sir George Smart, and the
rooms were filled with earls and count
esses, right honorablcs and honorables.
So says the latest news from England.
1t has come to this at last. The earls,
countesses. right honorables, and honor
ables of England, whose ears are closed
to the cries of the poor of their own land
for bread, and the wailing Of the oppres-
sed of Ireland; and whose dainty noses
are upturned at respectable working
men, consort with ncgrcss, who met
with but poor encouragement among
American abolitionists, in order to strike
blow at our own loved land.
What will that strong minded woman,
aunt Harriet Stowe, think of this? How
will she like to divide the honors of the
house of her English patroness with this
screaming descendant of Africa We
shall not be surprised to hear by the
next arrival. that Eliza Greenfield, the
Black Swan, has entirely eclipsed the
authoress of "Uncle Tom The lords
and duchess's Of Great Britain, in their
new born love for the African race, will
certainly do greater honors to real live
negress, who can sing little, than to the
authoress Of negro fiction.

The Presidents Senator from Loui.ian.


New ORLEANS, April 2s.-The Legislature to-
day elected the Hon. John SIidel United States
Senator for the State of Louisiana. He is a Demo-
crat. ~
The foregoing despatch, bearing recent
date, relates a recent and important incident.
But it is not news. We saw a cherub who
saw this event long, long ago! We knew the
coming of this thing at an earlier day than it
was known to the people of Louisiana-earlier,
probably, even than it was known to the legis-
lators Of that State. Washington was in adj
vance Of the rest of the world in the know
ledge of it. Yet there are no seers nor prophets
in Washington.
The President of the United States, as we
believe, yielded to his own convictions Of policy
and duty, in appointing to foreign embassy
the able and accomplished SLIDELL. The
President Of the United States, as we as firmly
believe, yielded to the exactions of an arbitrary
faction in virtually revoking that appointment,
and assigning to another citizen of Louisiana a
most delicate and important mission, for which
ne, from peculiar but most potent considerations,
Is, beyond all the statesmen of our country, the
most entirely unsuited.
When, on the ninth day of this month, we
announced this change, we at the same time
affirmed our belief in the current report that
the arrangement by which it had been effected
involved, as a sequence of it, the election of
Mr.. SLlDELL to the United States SEN
ate. through the combined influence Of his
own friends and partisans, the direct or in
direct influence Of Mr.. SouLE, and the tao
tics Of certain politicians who profess to carry
out the schemes of the Administration, all of
which had its inception in this city. Such
things were not known to the usages Of our
Government in its earlier days. nor are they

GREAT Triumph FOB THE CANADIANs-At
length the resolute and protracted warfare long
waged between the people and legislative bodies
Of Canada on the one side, and the imperial gov
eminent and high tory and church parties of rea,
Britain on the other, has drawn to close. Vic
tory sits perched on the banners of the colonists
and songs OF triumph are being chaunted through
out the territory. The contest was decided few
weeks since in the British House of Commons. in
the passage, BY majority of eighty votes of a bill
repeating the clergy reserves act of ls4O and CIV
ing to the Colonial Legislature the control of that
portion of the public lands hitherto appropriated
to the use of the clergy. In itself, the measure
was one OF the greatest Importance to the colony;
but its value il not even to be measured bv that
as virtually the effect of 1t is no less than the fn
recognition of the right of the coonists to transact
their own internal affairs as to themselves NAV
seem best.
For period of over sixty years the question OF
clerical endowment, in the various shapes ofleea.
lied tithes, appropriations of portion of the pub.
lie lands, Sc, has been a source of constant yexa-
ton to tie coonists- In 1871, the tithes formerly
enjoyed by the Protestant Church were annulled
and in lieu thereof one seventh portion of the pub
lie lands was get apart for the purposes of religion
The Catholic Church, however, still retained its
right to the exaction Of tithes from its own men,
bers The appropriation of the public lands in this
way was found to be most annoying and impo-
litc measure, and the opposition to it throughout
tine provinces was 80 great that in 1927 an act
passed authorizing this seventh portion to be sold
This act, however, never went into operation, and,
under the influence of the high church party, the
act of l840-now repealed-was passed, reserving
the property for religious purposes, and making
six equal divisions of it among the various Pro-
testant sects
Since that time the matter has formed cont tant
and unfailing theme for agitation in the colonies;
the liberal men of all parties demanding repeal
Of the vexatious bill. One of the first acts of the
administration now In power in England was to
introduce measure for its repeal, and it is the
result of that measure which has been such tri
umph for the Canadians.-Nesc York Herald.

not il accordance with the simplicity Of our
republican institutions. We are now hear-
ing occasionally how this order is observed.
Mr. Sanford, who vas leftin charge in Par

Riyes, appeared at once at court in suit
Of plain black cloth, without adornment or
decoration Of any kind--for this American
ism he was much applauded. Mr.. souIe,
our new Minister to Spain, spent weeks in
Paris IN the company Of Tailors, who were
engaged inconstructing his court dress. and
through NJ. Gallairdet, the Paris cores
pondent of the Courier des Estats Unis, ?
we learn that Mr. Soule has gone to Madrid
with court dress made of velvet, embroid-
cred with silk. Does this court dress con-
form to the instructions Of Mr.. Marcy? or
does it not show that modern democracy
breaches one thing, and practices another,
and that the .'red" republican soule. has
great contempt for democratic usages, prin-
ciples, and.orders. As Mr.. soule has spent
50 much time in Paris, in company of tall
ors, il would be well for him upon his re-
turn, to establish himself as a court tailor in
Washington, New York or New Orleans
he would drive great business. Even lit
