FHANcE-wc believe, and we hope, that the
present system of Government in France cannot
much longer exist We wish no personal
harm to Louis Napoleon-but, surely, such a
degrading tyranny as he has imposed upon a
great nation must be amelioratcd. France al.
ready, wears gloomy aspect. There is a
reign Of terror" enforced by a despot 1t
may not be as bloody as that organized by
Danton, Marat, and Robespicrre, but it is equal
ly rePressive. The London Times, not dispo.
Sed to quarrel or break with the Emperor,
declares that the condition of France is caus.
ing much uneasiness throughout Europe. 1t
says
1.-The whole policy of the French government
OF late Is indeed much to be regretted. No one
who has watched the career of the Emperor and
has seen his opportunities can help regretting
that he should have allowed those who surround
him to entangle him in such net. He has in
volved himself in a system which no man can
hope to control; which must every day become
more unmanageable. He is striving to take the
whole of France into custody. To have every
man of wealth or position or political note in
the empire, every theorist, or fanatic, or vain
glorious democrat, or desperate, under his eve
is the purpose of the present ruler That he
must be unsuccessful we know before hand and
the question IS whether the only evil will DO
the failure OF his object. Our own opinion
uust be, that such a machinery will tend to
create the spirit it seeks to represS Sedition
will be generated by the intolerable omnipo-
tence of the police. Every advance of the new
power will necessitate still further extension

DRuGGED TOO MUou.-Dr. o. w. Holmes, bet
ter known as the funny man, in his valedictOry
address TO the medical graduates of Harvard
University, delivered recently, gives the follow
ing advice to the medical students who were
about to graduate:
"with regard to the exhibition of drugs as
part of your medical treatment, the golden rule
is, be sparing. Many remedies you give would
make well person so i'll that he would send for
you at once if he had taken one of your doses
accidentally. tits not quite fair to give such
things to sick man, unless it is clear that they
will do more good than the very considerable
harm you know they will cause. Be very gra-
cOus with children especially. have seen old
men shiver at the recollection of the rhubarb
and jalap of infancy. You may depend upon it
that half the success of Homeopathy, is due TO
the sweet peace it has brought into the nursery.

CRIrTENDEN AND GIDDINGs.-The n. Y. Err
press, in its Washington correspondence, has
the following interesting incident.
On Saturday last, while the discussion upon
the Kansas question was in progress, and while
all parties in the House were more intent upon
arrangements for the final struggle than upon
the arguments of speakers, and while all were
in doubt MS to what might be the ultimate course
of Mr. Giddings and his confreres, the Hon. Mr..

moment was permitted them for cOmmunica-
too, when Mr.. Giddings went forward, and,
taking Mr.. Crittenden warmly by hand, with
recognition of Mr. Marshall at the same time,
he said: who could have believed this ofme,
that should be found with you, following you
But, while l have spent long life in fighting
against enemies, and am ready still to fight

HENRY WARD BEECHEE ON TIE HIsToRY OF
Burrows OH THEATnE.-Henry Ward Beecher
having been announced to preside at the prayer
meeting in Burton's old theatre, New York, on
Saturday, the building was crowded to ex-
cess.
In opening the exercises, he announced that
the United States Government would take pos
session of the building on Monday morning
next, and that, consequently, the prayer meet
ing to-day was the last one to be held there. He
then referred to the history of the building, as
follows: .-a.f -,-
'What n history has been therel The his.
tory of this building in other days, no man has
written, and no man can write; and only eterni-
ty itself can ever disclose the fictitious Joys and
real sorrows the seeming virtues that masked
corruption OF manners, the ten thousand
forms of external purity which covered hideous
vice. What thoughts-what ripening feelings
blosSominS into corruption What have been
the histories that have here had their beginning
and consummation God Almighty knows and
none other can know
Then came the season of idleness-the old
building, where the lights had flashed so long
upon such varied scenes, was deserted-the mice
played and gnawed in it, and nobody disturbed
them.
''What history has been this, too, God AL
mISuty OulY CuIl tell vi lnIS we are sure that
tens and scores of men, who with reckless haste
We're burrying down to destruction, have been
plucked rs brands from the burning, and have
here received an education to which their future
life will bear witness.
There are, youths here whose gray.haired
Sires Will tell their grandchildren, in coming
yenrs, how their father went on in sin, until Mt
last he was won by Gods Spirit here
And IN Europe there will be men who will
think OF Buttons old theatre and thank God
And men riding through the forests of Oregon,
shall pause upon their lonely journey, aud drop
tear of gratitude in thinking of the meetings
in this old building friendships have been
here begun that will be consummated in Heav-
en-; and Joys which here begun shall blossom
and exhale fragrance forever and forever.
God be thankful for these blessings-God
he thankful that Heavens gates have been OPEN
ed in the place of He'll"

II the disposition to speak well of 9th

The opposite disposition is the Pandora S

is a good rule, however, when there is
occasion for fault-fnding, to do it pri

prove salutary. 1t is proof of Interest

Important Movement in the Catholic
Church.
PROTEST AGAINST CELIBAcY.

PROTEST AGAINST CELIBAcY.
An extraordinary memorial has been
addressed by 507 Austrian priests to the
author of the Concordat,, the Cardinal
Prince Archbishop of Vienna In this
document, the lower Catholic clergy put
forth their grievances in language the like
of which has not been heard since the
days of the Reformation. The memorial
begins with a rough onslaught on the
absolutistic perogatIves of the episcopa-
cy. This Concordat," it says, +" has
conferred upon the bishop many new
privileges and large increase of power !;
but the priest has to bear the whole odi-
um of the Indignation and of the moral
resistance which the hated Convention
had created among the people," There
is no doubt the document continues in
subsequent paragraph, but that our
religion has become the object Of univer-
sal derision. The Concordat has arous-
ed the wrath of the most moderate men
with respect to the antiquated, medieval
ordinances become louder and more uni
versal from day to day. This sentiment
is the more dangerous as it spreads
among the main body Of the people. -
Memorial complains of the wretched pay,
(sometimes less than that of a cab driver
of the lower clergy, in consequence of
which they are driven to the collection
of fees snd taxes which are the source OF
the most disgraceful and disgusting con
f1icts with the people. Religion is thus
made to appear in the light Of an insult
ierable burden, and agitators increase the
i'll feeling by directing attention, not to
penury of the lower clergy, but 10 the
luxury and abundance in which the bish-
ops are reyelling. In the next place the
petitioners lay bare the laziness of monk
hood, and demand the abolition of these
begging orders and the appropriation oi
/ their revenues to the maintenance of the
really working priests.
! A more important demand follows. Ii
is for the abolition of celibacy, on the
ground that the impossibility of entering
into the marriage state renders the priest
the victim of suspicious of sneering and
contempt, and produces laxity amongst
the clergy, thus rendering them con.
tributors to the moral dissolution which
is invading even the popular classes. In
conclusion, the petitioners demand thai
"such reforms should be introduced as
to make the lower clergy no longer appear
in the odious light OF oppressors OF the
poorer classes and that the priests by
abolition of the law of celibacy, shoult
be restored to the common ties of famil,
aud humanity. II this is not done,
they assert call our influence will entire
ly disappear the Catholic religion vii
be despised, hierarchy be totally over
thrown, and the State become the foot
ball of ceaseless attacks and complica
tons. They express, too. the signifcan
hope that they may expect their safet
from the revolutionary party.

The other night as the Ministers were
returning from the Conference, on the
E. L. & GA. Railroad an amusing occur
renee took place between Governor
Brown and Parson Brownlow. Just be
fore the ears arrived at Knoxville, Gov
Brown came up, and taking the Parson
by the hand, remarked
How do you do, brother Brownlow ?
| am happy to see you.
The courtesy was returned, when the
Governor continued
"I hope you will moderate in all your
notions of propriety in regard to your
fellow citizens-live a'good christian
and last, though not least. become good
democrat"
The Parson, with the eccentric lool
peculiar to him, stretched himself ul
and answered
Governor, an old gentleman of your
politics. many hundred years ago, took
our Saviour upon a mountain and preach
ed Just such sermon"

Trial Of Steam piows,

At the trial of steam plows, which
came off at Decatur, Illinois, but one
plow was present-that of ]. w. Fawkes
The trial was not successful, as the plow
was not constructed to meet the resist
ance of the unturned prairie. The in
yentor feels confident that he can over
come all the difficulties he has had to
contend with. Mr.. Kedey, the inventor
of the English steam plow and cultivator
was present, and signifed his intention
ton to compete for the $500 premium.
AT the close of the trial the Executive
Committee passed the following resolu-
tions:
Resolved, That having witnessed the
performance of j. w. Fawkes' +" steam
plow.'" We deem it our duty to record our
opinion, that this ingenious machine is
we'll adapted as stationary engine for
farm purposes, and that with improve
ment it can be made useful for plowing
on our praries but that it is not as vet
such as machine as will cntile it TO the
premium offered by this society
Resolped, That in consideration of the
expenses incurred IN exhibiting this ma
chine at Centralia and Decatur, the cor
responding secretary is hereby author
lied and required to draw an order on
the treasurer of the Society in favor of J.
w. Fawks, for the sum of FIVE hundred
dollars.
