Aa Immaculaie Rirhop,

Kayanagh, the traitor, and the so-called
Bishop, has been arrested for proelaiming
Secession doctrine 20 his followers. By what
right Is the chureh-honored title Of Bishop
conferred upon this man. To be hishop one
must be inspired by the Holy Ghost, and that
inspiration can only be obtained from one
who, BY means Of one unbroken link of bish.
ops, can trace back his commission az coming
nom Peter, the Prince Of the Apostles, who
received his commission from Christ himself.
the second person Of the Blessed Trinity.
Kayanagh's Methodistical humbug never had
anything 70 do with st. Peter. Il is farce !:
an easy road for free and easy people to travel
to-God knows where!
As regards his inspiration to preach seces-
sion, there cannot be doubt as to the source
from whence he derives II. Lucifer was a
rebel, 50 is Kavanagh, aud Kayanagh may be
one OF Lucifer's apostolic agents, in Califor-
MIA. But C. L. Weller says Mr.. Kavanagh
never committed sin in his whole life.
Weller should have said that he came direct
from Heaven or that he was the result Of an
immediately conceived fetus. The whole
history of the Saints IN Heaven since the
Christian Era, does not give an instance such
as Kavanagh, according to Weller. But
Weller's ethics may cause him to regard sin
in different light from that in which It is
viewed by theologians. What about Kayan-
agh's oath Of allegiance to the Government
and Constitution What about yours. Mr..
Weller These are doubtless small things.
Bosh, Mr.. Weller, yourself and Kayanagh
are tVU fit disciples Of the first rebel.-Assb
Nesos.

FINANCIAL FLUCTUATIONS "A favorite
theory has been that the fluctuations in the
price Of gold were brought about by the ac-
ton or rather combination of brokers. To
remedy this condition OF affairs, Congress
passed law the intention Of which was eff
fectually to prevent speculation in gold. The
law went into effect, but instead Of checking
the evil, it grew worse, and Congress hast
ened to repeal q law which, like the Dutch
mans gun, went off at the wrong end. The
failure Of the gold law made manifest what
rejecting men had understood all along, that
it was not speculation, but uncertainty, that
caused the financial fluctuations. These
constant changes and fluctuations are easily
understood; they are the natural result Of a
state of feverish excitement, not to say panic,
occasioned by profound uncertainty as TO
the immediate future, and an apprehension
that it may bring forth unfavorable changes.
Treating upon this topic, an able writer on
money questions says: 1--WE have these
sudden jumps in the quotations of gold, be-
cause men are asking themselves whether it
may not 60 still higher than now, and be-
cause there is the scramble which such a
prospect must necessarily occasion; we have
the sudden falls because these movements,
made in apprehension Of rise, overshoot
themselves and are followed by the reaction /;
and we have, taking one week with another,
a tolerably steady gain on the average, be-
cause nothing shows itself as yet to diminish
the doubt as to what is to come, but, on the
other hand, much to increase it.

UKsUccEssPUL.-Seve weeks ago,
our Town Trustees sent one Of their num-
Der to San Francisco to negotiate few
thousand dollars of our Town Bonds, IN
order to raise the means for finishing the
Town Water Works. The bonds bear
interest at the rate of two per cent. per
month, interest and principal payable IN
gold. The agent was unsuccessful in get
ing the money, unless the party taking
the bonds would get them at discount
which, in our opinion, was very properly
refused. A capitalist who can't invest his
money in good securities, and get his IN
terest quarterly in gold, at the rate of
twenty-four per cent. year, is little
too sharp for fair and honest trade
We hope some Of our own people viii
now come forward and take some Of these
bonds, so as to enable the Town authori-
ties 20 complete the water works, lay the
water pipe. etc. The welfare of the Town

A General European War Imminent.


The European politicians and journals con-
cur in regarding the London Peace Congress
as failure. The representatives Of the Great
Powers, so far from agreeing upon any basis
Of settlement that would be acceptable to the
various governments which they represent,
actually grow more estranged and hostile at
each successive meeting. 1t is now admitted
that the conference holds together for the
mere purpose Of postponing for as long
period as possible renewal Of hostlities,
which were expected to commence on the
18th Of June, the time appointed for the ex-
piration of the armistiee: BY this time it is
probable that the war has been renewed, and
that the Danes and Germans are once more
contending for the possessions Of the Danish
Monarchy on the narrow neck Of land which
separates the Baltic from the North sea. AL
the efforts Of England TO prevent renewal
of the conflict, in which she is evidently
destined to become involved, have proved
unavailable, and by strange fatality
she stands isolated from all Europe
in the impending general war. 1t is vital
TO her interests that great power like
Prussia or Austria shall not be permit
ted to occupy her ports in the Schleswig- Hol-
stein Duchies, which would bring CONNER
cial rivals and probably fsture enemies into
dangerous maratime proximity with the
British Islands. Hence the strong English
sympathy for Denmark which is not shared
by the rest Of Europe. The neutral powers
regard the condition Of affairs with scarce
" concealed satisfaction, and France openly
AYERS that she has no interest in maintaining
the dilapidated Danish monarchy. The as
tnte French Emperor is quite willing, how
ever, any nation that feels aggrieved may fly
to the protection Of Denmark, well knowing
that general war in which be shall be neu-
trail, viii secure the long coveted extension Of
the French empire to the Rhine. On the
other hand, Russia has deeper interest In
preventing England from gaining preponder-
atino control Of the fate ofthe Danish Duehies,
than England has in keeping Germany from
obtaining foothold in them. Hence, the
Russian Eagle has swooped down from his
northern eyrie, with n scream Of evil portent
TO England and Denmark, in the shape Of an
assertion of the reserved rights of the Car
in the Danish Duchies-which have been dug
out Of some old, forgotten treaties. The EN-
peror of Russia's visit to the King Of Prussia
and the relations of the latter with Austria,
indicate powerful Northern alliance against
England, which may wen cause her states
men to hesitate before plunging into war,
the results Of which may shake every throne
In Europe. and convulse society to It's foun-
dation. But destiny must be accomplished,
and England cannot avoid taking up the
gauntlet on behalf Of Denmark. Should
Lord Pslmerston hesitate to meet the issue,
the memory Of his past services win not save
him, and he will be swept from Office BY
storm Of public opinion that will bear war
cabinet into power. Thus, all the signs Of
the times point to a general European war,

THE SIN oP TREAsoN.-Fidelity to the
government under whose protection We live,
Is duty no less absolute and binding than
any personal duty between man and man.
This obligation rests with no less weight upon
adopted than upon native citizens. So far as
Irishmen are concerned, interest unites with
duty in recommending whole-souled and
uncompromising loyalty to the government.
The prosperity and power Of the United
States are the strongest guarantees Of Irish
Independence. Let the despotisms of the
Old World succeed in their long cherished
designs for the destruction Of the Great
Republic Of the West, and with her annihi-
lation the last hope Of Ireland goes out in
rayless gloom. Irishmen have too long
been the dupes of the so-called Democratic
party-beguiled and deluded by the witch
craft of name. It lis time that they throw
off Indignantly the slavish yoke of design
ing demagogues, who seek to hoodwink
them BY false professions and insincere prom
ises. The destinies of America are inextri-
cably bound up with the happiness and well
fare of our posterity for have we not made
this land our home, and is it not to be the
home of our children? Here we enjoyed the
fullest political privileges, and the amplest
religious liberty. We exert our legitimate
influence at the ballot-box, assist in the Sc
lection of ourl own rulers, WELD political
power, fill liberal share Of the Offices in the
gift of the people, lift our voices in the halls
Of legislation, and even enter the Senate
chamber Of the nation. The ablest and most
efficient representative Of this great State in
the U. S. Senate is an Irishman by birth
more than one-half Of the journalists
in the republic are Of Irish descent
Our religion is subjected to no invid-
ious discrimination. The spires Of Catho-
lie churches, surmounted by the blessed
symbol of salvation, point TO Heaven
from the loftiest sites in every city and
hamlet throughout this broad and glorious
land. A thousand hourishing colleges and
seminaries of learning gather within their
walls the flower of the rising generation, and
train them up in the ancient and irrefragible
faith of that apostolic church, against which
the gates of hell shall not prevail. Surely We
can ask no ampler privileges-no more lib
eral immunities. And in return for all this,
we owe faithful allegiance and an undivided
loyalty to the paternal government, whose
strength and prosperity are the 6rmest
pledges and assurances Of our own rights.
The Irishman who intelligently contem-
plates facts like these, and still lends his aid
and sympathy to the traitors who conspire
for the destruction Of the Union, is blind
alike to interest and duty, and is as base an
migrate as the Apostle who betrayed his Lord.

DBsERTrNa.-The custom Of executing de-
serters has prevailed from time immemorial,
and the practice has always been recognized
as Just. Sknlking in the face Of the enemy
is also regarded as the most serious crime Of
which the soldier can be guilty, and second
repetition OF this ofense is usually punished
with death. This much by way Of prelude to
a reference to the detection Of Secretary
Chase, who abandoned his post at moment
Of great public peril, and at a time when his
retension in Office was considered essential
to the public welfare. The soldier who de-
serts or skulks in the face of an enemy is
summarily shot; and here is an officer whose
duties were closely allied to everything con-
nected with the success Of the war, and yet
for his desertion the law provides no penalty.
Legally Mr.. Chase may be amenable to no
charge, but in the estimation Of the world he
will always be regarded as man who in a
moment Of peril deserted his post, and NOR
ally at least is as guilty as the soldier who
deserts in the face Of the foe.--DaIles Moan

THE CALL FOR CoNscRIPTs.-The call Of
the President for 100000 more soldiers is
something that we have been expecting, not
withstanding the fact that the army is now
by hundred and fifty thousand stronger
than at this time last year. The call is to be
responded to in September. By the last Of
that month the term of enlistment of at least
10000 veterans will have expired; so will
the term Of the To-day men-85, 000-making
in all, 235, 900 to be withdrawn from the ser
vice, whose places must be filed by new re-
cruits. If the Consumption realizes 400, 900,
it will be none too many, considering that
one veteran is equal to two raw conscripts.
But II the whole 500, 000is responded to, they
can all be put to good use in guarding lines
and filling up fortified places, so as to let out
all the veterans into the active field. Grant
has not too many men for his work. Sher-
mans army dare not be reduced aslong as
he is advancing, and he will probably be COM
PEELED to advance as far as Macon, or per-
haps Augusta, before winter. He must, in
order to advance so far safely, be considera-
bly, reinforced. His long line mnst be forth
fed and guarded, and by the time he reaches
Augusta it will require 100000 men for this
sort of duty. So long, therefore, as John.
ston has it IN his power to concentrate as
MANY as 100, 600 men, Sherman must have
that many in his active fighting force so that
under this command there should be to insure
success, not less than 200, 600 men. Should
Grant compel Lee to surrender, OF course the
circumstances would be instantly changed,
and johnson would find himself pressed and
cut off from succor on each side by superior
forces. But Lee has not yet surrendered,
and the only way to make sure Of this con-
summation is to keep up our armies at least

GENERAL HrNcxs tells very good story
respecting the proximity Of his sable soldiers
to the rebels who garrisoned the works on
the extreme right Of the long line which was
SO calamity carried by General Smith on
Wednesday evening At first the enemy did
not yield the works alluded to. It was the
strongest part Of their position, and had to
be approached over almost impracticable en-
tangiements, under heavy fire Of grape and
canister. The negroes brsyely made their
way through the branches Of the felled trees
and thick shrubbery and stumps, dragging
themselves along on their hands and knees,
encountered with guns, blankets and hayer-
sacks. Some of the poor fellows found the
task before them too difficult, and were glad
to get out Of the death-trap as quick as they
could. One of these discounted was met by
General Hincks, who inquired: (" Well, my
man, did you get up near enough for the reb-
els to see the whites of your eyes !"

We are notified by q paper published at

American yesselrof war has applied for this
privilege in British ports. 1t has been denied
her. If a Confederate piratical craft hap
pened to be present, and the extension Of q
courtesy even such as coaling, promised in
any manner to interfere with her safety, that
courtesy has also been withheld from an
American war steamer. She has been or
dered of, or restrained from leaving port
until her Confederate enemy could get safely
to sea; and in this manner disrespect and
insult has been offered to our Government
through its naval officers, humiliating in the
highest degree.
The affection Of the English people in all
parts Of the world is so prominently mani
tested in favor Of the rebel cause, that it has
passed into proyerb. At this same Victo-
ria, from whence British war vessel is to
be sent to our naval docks to undergo re-
pairs, preparations on grand scale had been
made tor banquet in honor Of Semmes,
who was expected to run into Esquimault

Copperhead Dectrine.

The AEd thus translates into English the
doctrines Of the Copperheads, as expounded
BY Beriah Brown:
"H we translate this into plain Englilh we
ind that its meaning is about as follows:
The Federal Constitution is treaty, not the
basis Of Government. A rebellion Of q
State does not affect the rights or the status
Of the Government. The people OF tine
North had no right to demand the preserva-
ton of the Union. The people Of South Car
DINA had right to break up the Union:
Those who are working for dissolution OF
the Union are not enemies Of "ouf instilu-
tiens;n and the rebels are not now making
war on our institutions. The Union was
nothing but partnership, which might De
broken up at the will Of any OF its members
The rebel States occupy the position OF ior-
eign nation; they do not belong 70 tne Union;
the Union is dissolved. As We might make
war as a foreign nation, for violating treaty,
so we have right to make war on the rebel
States II they have violated the Constitution,
for that was compact which could not be
violated; it ceased to exist for any State as
soon as that State withdrew.
the idea Of enforcing the laws Of the United
States, merely because the Federal Constr
tuition says they shall be enforced, is absurd.
The permission of the States must be asked.
Jackson did not know what he was about
when he declared that he would enforce the
laws in South Carolina. The people did not
know what they were about when they re-
elected him. The Constitution was formed,
not 20 establish permanent nation, but to
show how easily a Government might be up
set.
II the South should succeed in getting
away, our boundary line is to be determined,
not by treaty to which the United States
must consent, but BY Delaware, Maryland,
Virginia, Kentucky. Missouri, Kansas and
Arkansas, which, each acting Independently,
will tell US where our national line may go
in their neighborhood, and how long the lines
may remain. To all Of which Copperhead
doctrine the people Of the United States are
not ready to subscribe.

FooT-PADs AROUND For pedestrians
at late hour of the night, the divide
between Gold Hill and Virginia has long
= been considered sort of "gauntiet,"
which had to be run in consideration for
the pleasures enjoyed up in Virginia by
persons whose inclinations lead them to
stay out =" late o nights"-because. of all
other neighborhoods in Storey county,
this has been the most infested by foot
pads. Occasionally there has been lull
in their operations-about the time they
think the police are looking out for them.
Just now, however, "kale-seed" seems to
be getting scarce with them, and they are
again on the war-path. Night before last,
two different persons were stopped, and
their money or their life demanded. One
of the men who was stopped was an Irish
man, who didn't have a cent on his per-
son, but, with pistols pointed at his head,
they "went through him." Another
man, coming to Gold Hill, was COM
handed to stop and deliver-but he was
not so easily misunderstanding in very
emphatic tones that the robbers might go
to-a very hot place-and he was going
to Gold Hill; at about which time his
coat-tail was invisible by reason of his
pedal extremities raising tremendous
cloud of dust Immediately in his rear-and
he sffecnally run the gauntlet, thereby
escaping the clutches of the vagabonds.
People who are in the habit of travelling
on foot late at night, between here and
Virginia, had better go armed-and before
somebody is killed by these foot-pads,
perhaps it would be just as well if some Of
the police paid visit to the neighborhood.
To kill few of these lazy scoundrels who
are lurking about in the dark, would not
only afford good item for the newspa-
pers, these dry times, but it would be
rendering benefit to community in other
respects. An officer rendering such SER
vice win receive proper credit for his
