policy that the theocraticM rule Of the Church

such disastrous results, and is so opposed to
the liberal views that to-day animate the cabi-
nets Of England and France, that we conf
IDENTIFY expect to see IT abandoned on the
coming of Mr.. Wyke as British Minister to
Mexico. If these results should be obtained in
Mexico, as they have been in Central America,
the jddicious course of Mr.. Buchanan will have
laid a foundation for our foreign policy in the
countries south of us. in spite Of the opposition
of factious Congresses, that will prove of the
highest advantage for the interests of our own

compromised the matter by wearing dress
sword with plain evening clothes. Mr.. Bu-
chanan evidently thought that there was more
fuss about the affair than it deserved, for ne
hopes, in one despatch, that he has done with
the subject forever. In Paris, Mr.. Sanford, the
acting Charge, went in very strongly for the
simplicity dodge, and there was no objection at
the Tuileries but when the new Minister, the
late Mr.. Mason, came out, he Immediately put
on q court suit, whereupon Mr.. Sanford re-
signed and took to letter writing on the sub
ject- healthy and agreeable mental exercise,
which did no harm to anybody except Mr..
Marcy, who must have been good deal bored
with the matter from first TO last.
The upshot of the whole matter has been
that our Ministers in Europe now wear court
suits, generally-doing in Rome as the Ro-
mans do. No one has yet assumed the dress
worn by Doctor Franklin at Versailles, or that
affected by General Washington, as was re-
commended to Mr.. Buchanan by some joker in
London. But, Notwithstanding the fact that
our Ambassadors are habited in the garb of
despotism, the Eagle still screams as vigorous
ly as ever, the Star Spangled Banner is in
splendid condition, and is respected all over
the world, especially at Vera Cruz, where it is
now unfurled, and the country generally is
getting on as well as could be expected
after having suffered such a terrible draw
back to its progress as the failure OF
the Dudley Mann project must have entailed
upon it. The only way to settle the clothes
question finally will be by special aci
of Congress, founded upon the report of q
select investigating committee of metropolitan
tailors.

THE Man FOR CHIcAGo.-The republicans are
in almost as distressed state of mind about
candidate for Chicago as the democrats are
about Charleston. The battle between the
friends Of Mr.. Seward and " availability" poll
ticians RACES as 6ercely as ever, and despe-
rate effort will be made to kill off the Sage of
Auburn. He has already received the endorse
ment of conventions in two States-W Wisconsin
and New York-and probably others will fol-
low suit. Pennsylvania insists upon Simon Ca.
meron, and Pennsylvania is very important
State in republican convention If the iron
men win not have Seward, his nomination would
seem to be out of the question. Ohio pro-
nounces for Chase, and sticks to it. This atti.
tude of two of the great Central States per-
plexes the Seward men more than they care to
acknowledge; and against two such men as
Cameron and Chase the New York delegation
may have some tough work. The three candi-
dates Seward. Chase and Cameron are the only
men who have received foru'al endorsement.

A PROPHECY SPEEDILY VERIFIED.-In the year
1852 the Common Council Of New York passed
Railroad bill similar to but not in any re-
spect more fagitious than those which have
lust passed the Legislature over the Governors
veto. The indignation of the whole commu-
nifty was aroused at such shameless traficking
with the franchises of the city; the courts were
appealed to, and, aided by the force of public
sentiment, the scheme was frustrated, and the
concoctors of the job were made to feel a sense
of shame and modification which it was hoped
would have acted as a salutary lesson for long
time to come Following in the wake OF this
attempt. Mr.. Taber, leading republican, in
troduced, in 1868, bill in the Senate, taking
away from the Corporation of the city Of New
York all right and power in regard to the
granting away of railroad franchises and
lodging them exclusively in the Legislature.
A gentleman (Mr McMurray), who represented
New York in the Senate, opposed Mr.. Tabers
bill as establishing dangerous precedent for
inyasions of the chartered rights Of the city,
and used on the occasion these prophetic
words -" Human nature is the same all the
world over-the tendency Of unchecked power
Is to corruption-give 70 this Senate and
Assembly the same power in regard to these
franchises which the Corporation Of New York
now claim, ard in short time you will witness
