besAged for period OF eight months by the forces

the complete triumph Of the republican party. The
invasion Of Honduras by a force Of refugees from
Guatemala, under Guardiola and Lopez, had utterly
failed, and 1t was reported that treaty Of peace
had been signed on the part OF the beliigerens

The plaps, good, bad and Indifferent for the pro-

yesterday, before the Councilmen's Committee. The
question Of location is beginning to be sgi'sssd
quite iercely. The residents of the upper part of
the city want the new City Hall in Madison square,
and their arguments on the propristy Of that step
ere certainly very cogent. They say that New
York Is destined eventually to embrace portion Of
Westchester county and that to build the City Hall
at the extreme end of the Island s preposerous as
it would entail needless inconvenience to future
residents of this great metropolis. This Is an in

ARCHBISHOP HUGHES AND THE CHURCH Pro
PERTY.-John has written a letter on the
Church Property question which we re-publish
elsewhere. 1t contains a 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 I 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
it, as be is the man to give them absolu-
ton. The main point is fairly put in one SEN
tence of the letter. His Grace Gays that Sena-
tor Putnams bill should be called
penal enactment, requiring Roman Catholics OF the
State Of New York to be In the enjoyment and
use Of their property set apart for ecclesiastical
poses not BY the discipline 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 "penalr 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 a 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, and 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, It
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, Cathol
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. IL 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
