The Hierarchy and the Press.

Bishop Potter Of the Protestant Episcopal
Church in this diocess, declared to an audience
herecently addressed in Montreal, Cana Ia, that
"public sentiment in the United States must
not be sought in the newspapers" He advised
the Canadians to "go to the educated men, to
the clergy of the church, to those who stadied
Shakespeare and Milton and Hooker, and they
would find that they were heart and soul with
England in the struggle, and daily offered their
prayers for her success"
: We do not know what Bishop potters merits
may be, but If he knows no more of theological
science than he does of public sentiment, the
Epscopalians are in bad way. Priests have
seldom made good politicians or formed sound
opinions on public affairs, They live mostly
in little world of their own, with men
Of their own calling, and read the fa-
Tiers, and the common prayer book, aud
works Of that description, until their minds ar
rive at very extra ordinary pitch of narrow
ness. Prisoners say that by practice it is pos
sible to contract the visual organ to such an
extent that objects cannot be dscerned ten
PAGES of; the same phenomenon is witnessed
daily in the mental world, in the case of men
who by addicting themselves exclusively to
one pursuit acquire proficiency therein at the
total sacrifice of their general faculties. Par
sons are the most familiar examples of this,
and really Bishop Potter appears to be the type
OF his class. Else how could he have been un.
aware OF the fact that in one way or other all
the talent and learning Of the country
is connected with the press! We speak
not Of the daily press alone, though this OBJ
viously commands large proportion OF both;
but Of the weekly and monthly Of periodi-
calls and magazines, of all that vast mass Of
literature which can be properly classed under
the generic title of the press. The bishop
hints that the men who furnish these huge
heaps Of reading matter are mot educated y
and reserves this distinction to 1.-THE clergy of
the church" All men are not agreed as to
what constitutes education II to know
enough Of Hebrew to read the first five chapters
Of Genesis with the aid of dictionary, to be
able to wade through few pages Of the Greek
Testament, to be familiar with ORIGINS views
on the conception Of the Virgin, and TO be pre-
pared to rehash Luther's arguments against
the mass on the shortest notice--if this be
education, it is likely that "the clergy of the
church" are the most highly educated men in
the country. Certainly editors are not as
rule In the habit Of studying the Hebrew lexi-

SENIOR ARRANGoIz AND HIS CoMMIsssroN.-We
have published, recently, several letters and
extracts from our Mexican correspondents and
from the Mexican aud New Orleans journals
relative to the final disbursement of the seven
millions of dollars paid by our government to
establish the reign of his Serene Highness An
tonic the First, Emperor Of Mexico, Grand
Master Of the Order of Guadalupe, and so forth.
There is little episode about the matter, and
it is interesting enough for especial notice at
this time.
The precise amount to be paid to Santa Anna
was six millions eight hundred thousand dol
lars. His Serene Highness directed Senior Ar
rangoiz, Consul General for Mexico ct New
York, to receive and dsburse the money. Sc
nor Arrangoiz obeyed the orders of the EN-
peror, and, asst was purely business transao-
ton, he deducted q commission Of one per
centum (sixty-eight thousand dollars) for his
services. Great was the indignation Of the
hero of Vera Cruz and Buena Vista. He had
previously appointed Senior Arrangoiz Envoy
Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary at
Washington, and had been graciously pleased
thereby acknowledging that he was entitled to
some extra compensation for special services
rendered. But the Emperor has orders aud
Offices 10 give only-he pays his debts with
ribbons, and settles his accounts with dplo.
matte commission. Senior Arrangoiz preferred
the hard cash. The wrath Of the Emperor
descended upon him like tornado. The order
of Guadalupe was withdrawn and he was re-
moved from Office. But he retains the sixty
eight thousand dollars as q panacea for his
wounded dignity. 1t has been stated that
Senior Arrangoiz has gone to Europe. Such is
not the fact. he Is still in the United States
probably in Washington.
1t appears that Senior Arrangoiz is man Of
business, and taas his ideas are much more

practical than those Of his countrymen gene
rally. he is an honest man, too, aud 30 high
was his reputation in this respect that even
Santa Anna trusted him and directed him to
receive the very large sum upon which he
charged his moderate commission as ABOVE
noted. The senior was once Finance Minister
Of Mexico-he had been Consul at New Orleans
and Consul General at New York, aud he has
always borne the reputation of man of honor
and probity. 1t is not just that such q maa
should be condemned without further investi-
CATION, which win probably be had, as we IN
derstand that a suit will be brought in this
country against Senior Arrangoiz for the pur-
pose Of recovering the money.
The testimony taken in this cause, if it ever
comes to trial, will be piquant. II must reveal
interesting diplomatic secrets. And lastly, we
opine, that it viii result more to the credit of
Senior Arrangoiz than to that of his sovereign,
the illustrious Santa Anna.
FOREIGN CoNvIcTs.-We publish in another
part OF to day paper letter from Mr.. G. F. Sec
chi de Casali and several TRANSACTIONS from
Italian papers on the forcible transportation to
this country Of some seventy emigrants by the
Sandman government The articles will be
read with interest at the present moment, when
the fact is becoming more and more apparent to
the American public that certain European
governments are making the United States a
place of exile for their most intractaole crim-
nals The extracts which we give from italian
papers-some Of them official organs--go far to
strengthen the position we have taken in rela
ton to the shipment OF emigrants in the Sardi-
Disn frigate Des- Geneys. The Corriere .Mer-
camille, of Genoa, says that when these indi-
viduals reached that city, representations were
made in their behalf but the authorities an
swered that they were not transported for po-
litical offences. That criminals are among
their number, we think, is clearly proved.
Enough at least is shown in the papers to which
we refer to place our own authorities on their
guard, and require strict investigation to be
made when the vessel arrives.

would have done but for the discovery Of gold in
