Additional Foreign news.

LONDON, December l4.-A dispatch from
Marseilles on Tuesday night, reports that Con-
stantinople letters of the 7th say the French
Minister had made an official demand Of the
Turkish Government, for the issue Of irnan
favorable to the Suez Canal project, and was
supported by the ambassadors from Austria,
Prussia, Russia and Sardinia. A stormy ses-
sion of the Turkish Council Of Ministers fol-
lowed, and the Ministers finally agreed to the
powers making their demand to come to some
understanding with England.
MADRID, December 13.-The third corps
d'armee has landed at Centa. Gen. Prim had
been attacked on tho road to Ruton by the
Moors. The enemy was repulsed with great

Satan Rebuking Sin.

The last issue Of Porters Spirit Of Me Tines
breaches dull sermon on what 1t calls the
sentimental and sensational journalism of the
present day, and greatly deplores It's evil in
auences. The idea of sporting paper, devo-
tod to prise-fghting, bull batting, and canine
comban, growing lackrymosely moral about
sentiment, is droll enough. One account Of q
notorious "mill" does more to brutalize COM
munity than all tho worst novels Of the most
dsletsrious SO styled French and German
schools that were ever written. The editor Of
the Spirit must be the rarest Of Rigolettos.

PRovxRBs Asp PRIEsTs.-If proverbs handle
lawyers and doctors severely, they are not
more than lsnient to the "clergy." The
Scotch, German, and Spaniards seem to have
suffered most from the clergy, judging by the
following;
cts kittle shooting at corbies and clergy"
Crows are very wary, and the clergy are
vindictive therefore It Is ticklish work trying
to get the better Of either. Zone must either
not meddle with priests, or else smite them
dead, say the Germans; and Huss, the Bo-
hemian Reformer, in dsnouncing the sins Of
the clergy In his day, has preserved for US q
similar proverb Of his oountrymen, "If you
have offended the clerk, kill him, else you will
never have peace with him." "The bites Of
priests and wolves are hard TO heal-(Ger-
many "Priests and women never forget
Germany
Popular opinion attributes To tho clergy,
both secular and regular, a lively regard for
the good things Of this life. and determine
ton to have their full share Of them. "No
priest ever died of hunger" is remark made
by the Livonians; and they add, "Give the
priests all thou hast, and thou wilt have given
them nearly enough" "Abbot of Gazuela,"
cries the Spaniards, "you eat up the stew, and
you ask for the stew-pan." The worst testi-
mony against the monastic orders comes from
the countries in which they most abound.
"Where friars swarm keep your eyes opsn''
(Spanish.) "Haye neither good monk for
your friend, nor bad one for an enemy
(Spanish.) GAS for friars, live with them, eat
with them, walk with them, and then sell
them, for thus they do themselves"- -(spsn-
ish.) The propensity of ohurohmen to iden.
tify their own personal interests with the well
fare Of the church, are glanced at in the fol-
lowing: "The monk that begs for Gods sake,
begs for two"-(Spanish, French. "0h, what
we must suffer for the Church Of God |" cried
the abbot when the roast fowl burnt his fin
gers--(Gsrman. "There's no mischief done
in the world, but there's woman or priest
at the bottom Of it,"

THURL0w WEEDS ONsIAuoHrs UpoN THE
DEMocRACY.-The Albany Evening Journal con-
tains another savage onslaught upon the lead
ers Of the democracy in this city. In the
opinion Of the Journal, the democracy Of this
State is not to be trusted, its leaders "havinc
been absolutely and shamelessly debauched
by federal patronage" We are told by Weed
that Dean Richmond, Peter Cagger, William
II. Ludlow, Isaac v. Fowler and William Cas-
sidy "were in favor Of the Wilmot proviso,
which recognized the power Of Congress to
prohibit slavery in all territory to be acquired
from Mexico, in 1916; In favor OF the corner
stone resolution, which declared uncomnro-
missing hostility to the extension OF slavery
into free territory, in 1s47; in favor of the
Buffalo platform, which insisted that CONGRESS
should relieve itself Of all responsibility for
the existence Of slavery in localities where IL
had jurisdiction, in ls4s; opposed to the COM
promise measures, which gave free territory
to slavery, the peoples money to Texas. and
an infamous enactment for the recovery NJ
fugitive slaves to Christendom in 1850; and
opposed to the repeal of the Missouri restric-
ton, by which solemn legislative compact
was violated and the Territories Of Kansas and
Nebraska were opened to slavery, in 1853"
Further on, according to Weed, they obeyed
the dictation of Poor Pierce in 1854, and caused
the State Convention to endorse the Kansas
Nebraska bill, and one by one have recanted
from all their ancient heresies to the democratic
church. The Journal is quite right in saying
that the leaders Of the democratic party in this

SQuATTER SOVEREIGNTY TRAsH.--We have re-
ceived advance copies of Senator Douglas
latest production in regard to squatter sove-
eighty in the Territories; but the discussion
n that silly subject is altogether too trashy to
bestow even paragraph upon. The question
on which the people Of the United States are
interested now is not one about squatters and
halfbreed Indians in the far off Western Terri
tories but about the existence OF our federal
government and the maintenance of internal
peace. And let us say, in this connection, to
Mr.. Senator Douglas, that if he and JEFF. Davis
and poor Pierce had not conspired to repeal
the Missouri Compromise and thus to reopen
the slavery agitation, we should not at this day
have been menaced with such dangers as those
of which the Harper's Ferry insurrection warns
us. We want no sgustter sovereignty trash,
