Bayard Taylor says:
have read, during the past week, in va
rious papers, that the Papal States are the
worst governed in Europe. / have read 1t
often. The precise nature and extent OF this
despotism am little in the dark about
Our general enlighteners, the editors, do not
condescend to come down to the particulars.
Still, plain man may be permitted to ask
few questions. In what does this despotism
of the Papal Government consistY
Is it that clergymen hold otticeF For
many years there has been smaller proper
tion of clergymen holding office in the Roman
States than in some of the States of the Union,
and their salaries have been in still smaller
proportion to those of secular officers Is 1t
in the expense of the Government 1t is
one of the most economical in Europe. The
salaries of the higher officers Of State do not
exceed $4,000 year; and the whole civil list
costs about $4,000.
Are the people ground down with taxes
The taxes in Rome are far less than in Eng
land, France or New York. Are they de-
prived of the benefits of educationP The
Papal States with a population of less than
8 100000, have seven Universities; and the
city OF home mas more Tree puulc schoOlS
than New FORK, ia proportion to her popu-

Perhaps, the poor are uncared for, and
their sufferings treated with neglect? There
are more and better free hospitals for the sick,
the poor. and aged, the suffering of every
class in Rome, in proportion to the popula-
tion, than in any other city in the world. 1t
is not asked in Rome what is a mans country
or creed. Perhaps the bad government has
reduced the people to pauperism Holland,
France, and other free and enlightened coun-
tries, have from three to ten times as much
pauperism in proportion to the population.
Where, then. is the horrible despotsm? The

abundant institutions of charity for the needy
and suffering venture to assert that the
single city of New York pays more taxes, is
more plundered by dishonest officials, sup
ports more paupers. has more uneducated
children, tolerates more vice and drunken
ness, rodyism, etc, and suffers from more
crime, year by year, than the whole nearly
100000 of people of the States of the
Church.
