hand, it is fair to suppose that all the drunk
ards, all the rowdies, all the gamblers, all
free and easy owners Of q vote, bestowed

What blunder was here 1t is actually q
fact, so ably and thoroughly has he performed

some Of the most energetic Of his religious
opponents, prayers are offered for him every

to spare him to continue his career of useful

the liturgy. On the other hand, the rum party
and the rowdies are free to confess that they
are disappointed in their man, and that Fer

PERTY.-John | has written letter on the
Church Property question which we re-publish
elsewhere. 1t contains great many words;
few arguments; much rhetoric; little reason
ing; much debate as to the degree Of faith that
ought to be placed in the statements of John
and certain OF his parishoners; and very brief
allusion to the real merits Of the case OF the
church property. With all the former parts Of
the letter we have no concern. We do not care
whether John tells the truth or does not; that
is his business not ours: nor whether the trus-
tees of this or that church are given to lying,
though, if they are, it is well the Archbishop
knows it, as he is the man to give them absolu-
ton. The main point is fairly put in one SEN
tence of the letter. His Grace says that Sena-
tor Putnam's bill should be called
penal enactment, requiring Roman Catholics o, the
use Of their property set apart for ecclesiastical
poses not by the di,cpne OF the religion which they
profess, but by the statute Of the Legislature.
There is a great deal Of truth in this, barring
the word "penal- at the commencement. 1t is
the wish of the people Of New York that. the
property Of all citizens Of this State, Catholics
as well an Protestants, should be governed by
the laws Of the State, and not by rules estab-
lished by any foreign Power or Potentate,
whether it be called King or an Emperor,
Sultan or Pope. Therefore when the Pope of
Rome makes certain rules with regard to the
disposition of church property here, aud sends
them to the Council at Baltimore to be ratified,
and his agent John Hughes sets about obeying
them here, and doing with said property what
to the Pope seems fit; we say that we consider
such things INDIGENOUS and unsafe, and will not
abide by them. We say that in our opinion, 1t
is not prudent for us to allow any foreign
Power to exercise jurisdiction over persons or
property here. No civilized country allows
anything of the kind. Long, long ago, Cstho,
lie France denied to the Pope the rights claimed
for him here by Archbishop Hughes; more re-
Gently Catholic Sardinia has done the same.
Catholic Spain has book full Of laws stripping
the Pope Of his power there. In Catholic Aus
tris, the Pope's rights are only admitted with
great restrictions. 1t seems that the Protes-
tant United States are to be the only country
in the world besides the Papal States In which
the old Middle Age rights Of the Pope are to
be maintained at least, according to John
Hughes. 1t will need something more than
long letters to convince American citizens Of

the manager OF Tue DOORWAY, ana forrest, the
actor, guillotined on this occasion, were both,
at first, very much annoyed and savagely in
clined towards the oyster house critics. What
ever may have been the first feeling of Forrest
on finding himself cut up and slashed in this
butcher-like fashion, we cannot too highly
commend the subsequent good sense and tact
Of Marshall, who. instead Of advising the actor
to make fool Of himself by getting angry,
coupselled him to keep cool and trust to the
reaction Of these attacks, naturally antici-
pating that people would rush to the Broadway
to see how far they were correct. The result
has fully justified his expectations. The benches
Of the theatre are nightly thronged by anna
teur critics, and all parties are benefited by
the excitement. The public are interested and
amused; the actor whilst he is taught to cor
rect some Of his worst faults, turns his errors
to profitable account in pecuniary sense;
whilst the adroit manager blesses his under
ground critics and fervently hopes they may
continue the war.
We say, therefore, to these oyster house
critics, $50 on and prosper in your vocation;
exercise your right to cut, carve and slash in
the most approved Grub street fashion, and
don't be afraid of laying it on too heavy or too
thick. Discard from your minds all apprehen-
sions arising from the Fry verdict That de-
cision was an impudent departure from the
principles Of right and justice, aud the time
will come when the verdict Of another jury
will formally stamp upon it the iniquitous
character which it already bears in the eyes of
all honest men.

Fiat.
On the second night we performed
''Pizarro," my brother acting the part OF
Rolla. In the last act, after Selling the
child, and as ne was rushing up towards
the bridge, he observed a tall negro
holding tea cup full Of blood, (rose
pink, which was wanted almost imme-
diately OF the other side of the stage.
As rs passed, he said to the negro:
"Here, boy, carry that blood round
to me on the other side-I want it the mo-
ment l cross the bridge"
Away dashed Rolla, bearing the child
aloft, volley Of Spanish musketry; and
turning to cut away the bridge with his
sword. what was his horror to see the
tall negro walk upOn the stage, between
the waters, and, in full sight of the au.

stirring up the contents with the fore
finger Of the other, and hear him exclaim:
Here, Massa Smith, here's YOUR
