of the new government can possibly appear be
fore Friday. The Herald of this morning, in
publishing a telegram from Berlin, stating that
six Prussian corps diarmee have been mobiliz-
ed, says, of course this means war. The ad-
vent of Lord Palmerston's ministry has evident
" induced her to take this decisive step and
join Austria The English people will now
perceive the truth of what we before asserted,
that the Earl of Derby's government alone pre-
served Europe from being involved i'll a general
war.
The Advertiser says that after Lord John
Russell accepted the foreign Office, any office he
might prefer was offered to Sir James Graham,
who declined from infrm health; but at the
SAINT time assuring Lord Palmerston that he
cordially supported the Ministry.
PARIS, Tuesday night, June 14.-On the 18th
the Emperor removed his head quarters tc
Georgezall. In the afternoon he superintend
ed in the throwing of bridges across the river
AIDA. AS soon as this wis completed the army
began the movement which was completed yes
terday. After some heavy rains the wealth
er is again fine and the troops are in high spir
its.
LONDON, June 15-The London News cit,
article says that the funds received a fresh i'm
pulse, owing to the progress made in the con
struction of the Ministry, and the increase
hope that the war in Italy will not be Of lon
duration.

The clearing of a million and a half by a Dem
ocratie firm on a single contract for transport
ing supplies to the Utah army will be remem-
bered. The following paragraph shows a SINH
lar speculation in prospect:
a correspondent of the Missouri Democrat
81 vs. that two -four contractors for the army il
Utah, have arrived at Camp Floyd. The let
ter, which is dated June ID, says that Mr.. j
Holiday and Colonel Martin have a contrac
to furnish the army with -four at $500 a hun
dred, and are BOW laying up flour in the Terri
tory a tfue and eight dollars a hundred
Which will leave a pretty fair margin. 1h'
quality of the -four made in the Territory is II,
better than " sweepings in the States.
The letter says that there are probably fou
partners in this contract: Holiday, Martin
Majors & V addcll, and Scoretary Floyd, AIT
that they will realize one hundred thousand do
lars each, and be at no trouble or expense"

The State Journal has been making an esti-
mate on the probable complexion of our next
Legislature, and the result makes a good show
ing for the Republicans. After putting down
the counties and districts considered certain
on either side, it proceeds to classify those re-
garded as doubtful, and adopts us a basis OF
calculation the vote given for Supreme Judge
at the last election. The estimate thus made
gives in the Senate 81 Republicans, IL Dem
ocrats-in the House 60 Republicans, 30
Democrats-and a Republican majority on
joint ballot of II. This, too, under an appor-
tionment especially favorable to the Democ-
racy at the time it was made, and the floats so
arranged as to favor their side in the years
las in 1852 when the election of a United
States Senator occurs. The change in senti-
ment produced by the Authorization Of the
party, whereby a number of the then strong
Democratic counties have since become Repub-
lican, has destroyed the base upon which their
fine superstructure was erected, and if at the
coming election the people are true to them
themselves it will tumble to the ground and
bury the builders so deep amid the ruins as to
place them beyond the hope of resurrection.

RELIGION AND POLITICS.

Archbishop PURCELL, in an address deliver
ed last week at Cincinnati, on the occasion of
LAYING the corner stone of a " Catholic Insti-
tute," made a furious assault upon the State
Auditor and the Republican party. In inter
pretinG the tax law the Auditor decided that
the private residence Of the Archbishop is no
more entitled TO be exempted from taxation than
the residences of ~clergymen of other denom-
nations. For so deciding the Archbishop. in
the address referred to, declared with great
emphasis that the Auditor I" 5 no man, and
the party ,etich s~uStai1aS ham MUST FALL a
denunciation and threat which drew = furious
and tremendous applause = from the audience
according to the reporter who furnished the
proceedings for the papers
When Protestant eIergymen denounce the
great national sin of slavery, a great out
cry is raised by the Democratic papers, which
affect to be terribly shocked in consequence of
clergymen thus preaching politics We hear
| nothing however from them in condemnation OF
this political preaching on the part of the head
of the Catholic church in Ohio-this official
declaration of hostility on the part of that
church to the Republican party, and threat
that it " shall fall" because one of its execu-
tive officers in discharge of his official duty re
quired compliance with a Democratic law. In
the case of the Protestant clergymen. their dc

influence unfavorable to Democracy, slavery be

Purcell is directed against the Republicans
hence in one case it is odious and intolerablc

for the Republicans, but a small portion Of TIL

DISTRESSING OCCURRENCE-ToUCE-
ING INCIDENT.-A daughter of Mr..
Clark Smith, of Canterbury, CT, aged
about II years, was terribly burned
on Friday last. She was preparing
the fire for tea, when her clothes caught
on fire, and before the flames could be
eXtinguished her whole person was
literally blistered from head to foot,
from the effects of which she died the
same night. Her father and mother
were also badly burned in the effort
to rescne her. Her funeral took place
on Monday afternoon, and was attend
ed with some peculiar and touching
circumstances. AT a recent festival
given by Mr.. Marvin, at Canterbury,
this young Miss was made the queen
of May, and was attended by II other
young companions as maids of honor.
The dress She wore on that occasion
was used as her funeral shroud, and
the II maids of honor formed the sad
cortege.

GOVERNMENT CORRUPTION.

Tho New York Herald, an Administration
organ, in reference to a late exposure of cor
ruption on the part of the recently dismissed
Post Master at Philadelphia, says:
"The extent to which corruption has pervad-
ed the entire fabric of the government calls for
some herculean effort to purge the Augean sta
bles, into which the offices of every branch of
the public service have been converted. Every
department of the government is full of cor
ruption. In this respect our own government
does not differ at all from the older ones in Flu
rope. 1t is only that the fact is more apparent
with us than with them, because through our
system of responsibility to public opinion we
are obliged to wash our dirty linen in public
These truths are amply borre out by the report
of Postmaster General Holt on the case of
Postmaster Westcott of Philadelphia. We are
sorry to be compelled to aGd that there seems
to be a disposition to shield the evil doors, rath-
er than to ferret them out and punish them"
This, coming from a Buchar an paper, IS
pretty plain talk, but it : is as true as it is plain
Corruption literally pervades q the entire fab
ric of the government, " and instead of evil doors
being terreted out and punished, there is in

THE HALL OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTA-
TIvEs AT WAsHINGToN-The usual summer
renovation of the Hall of the House of Repre-
sentatives is in progress. The floor is under
the hands of workmen who are busy making
the changes directed by the resolution of the
House at its last session. T.he old chairs and
desks will be dispensed with Sofas, varying
in length from seven to sixteen feet, will be ar
ranged as seats for the members and will occu-
py semi-circles in front of the Speakers chair.
Large tables on each side of the Speakers
chair will afford every convenience for writing,
The sofas bring the members together in a
much more compact form. and this may tacili-
tate the legislation of the country. The az
engagements for a fair trial of the experiment
will soon be completed.
