TIE EMPEROR MAMMALIAN AND
TIE MEXICAN CLERGY.

We give il another column translation Of
an interesting article Of the PreRs0 Of Havana
on the discussions between the Emperor OF
Mexico and the Mexican clergy. The latter
have been the ci.ef nstigators and supporters
Of the monarch.gal movement. Desparing OF
ever recovering from Q Republican Government
tao immense wealth which had accumulated IN
their hands, and which had been partly conls-
Gated during the administration Of liberal PIes.-
dents, they hoped to fare better under q mon
arch whom their influence should elevate to the
throne. In Mexico, unlike most Of the Catho-
lie countries of Europe, the clergy still assent
to the claims recently set forth in the Papal
Bull. They demand that none except Roman
Catholics, shall enjoy the right OF citizenship;
that the clergy shall be exempt from tho civil
law; that no restraint shall be put upon tho
accumulation OF church property; and that edu-
cation shall be solely controlled by the Church
al these prerogatiyes, in addition to restoTe'
ton of their immense wealth, they hoped Max
milan would grociously confer upon them.
This hope hes been signally disappointed
Macmillan, Ike all the princes Of Europe, has
deemed it necessary to quad some of the rights
of the secular Government against the eDcroach-
ments of the Court of Rome. In conference
with the Papal Nuncio, he insisted, in particu-
lar upon tho federation Of all forms Of religious
worship that ere not contrary to the civil law,
and upon the sanction Of the secularzation OF
ecclesiastical property. He has also claimed
the exercise of all those rights with regard to
ecclesiastical matters which were formerly en-
ioyed By tho Spanish monarchs. The Nuneio,
/ is reported, was so dissatisfied with the policy
the Emperor he's determined TO adopt, That ne
concluded to leave Mexico and TO return TO
Rome.
That there Is a rupture between Macmillan
and the higher clergy is no longer doubtful, and
this rupture cannot but greatly encourage the
hopes of tie Liberal party for speedy restora'
ton of Republican foIm Of Government IN
Mexico.

A confederacy of spectators inlegislation and
liquor eorged themselves last Winter 10y getting
control of all the Distilled Liquors In market In
anticipation of large increase Of the'eXcse
thereon, ard then couupting or cejoiing Con-
eress into e1emp,ing this liquor from any addi'
tional tax while its market value was more than
doubled by the heavy additional excise then
levied on all liquors heroGtfer manufactured
The net profit Of this gcuge must have ranged
from Twenty to Fifty Millions Of Dollars, aud a
few crafty, unscrupulous men pocketed at least
halfofi ii.
The same or similar "ring" is now at work
on Congress, urging it stll further to advance
this irpost from - to s2i or 50 per gallon, in
fartherance of Ike speculation. We entreat
The unbought Members not 10 conference this
scheme. II has no end but private gain. Tie
excise on whisky is quito as high row as 1t
can be kept, and ough, on no account to be en-.
HANGED.
The allegation that whisky cannot now be
produced aid sold without loss proves that tie
present duty tempts 20 extensive frauds. In
the nature Of the ease this could not fail TO be-
A barrel Of Whisky smuggled oyer the Canada
line this way Is worth ct least 800 more than it
cost in the Colony. Aud s distiler or dealer
who can export s.oop-load of Whisky from
Detroit, Buffalo or Oswego 10 Canada, thus
avoiding tie excise, and then smuggle il back
again by the vegon-load or barrol, will make
thereby q snug little fortune. What Is to be
gained by increasing tie temptation to this
rorueryi
It is urged that distiliug has nearly ceased
among rs. So it should have done. When
Corn and Rye cost our laboring class ga to

even in Greoubacks, tho presumption is very
strong that wo have no grain to spare for
making Whisky--that tho dcarth Of Labor ha-
siin;ed the yield, while the enormous consump-
ton and waste Of coarse grains in feeding tie
uumberless horlos and mules of our various
armies has loft no surplus for distilling. Stop
the smuggling and there will DO no lack Of dia-
ulling, whenever distilling shall 30 desirable.
Unless Congress means TO sink into q mere

PERU AND SPAIN.

We have By way Of 81. Thomas some later
news from Peru, which, il authentic would show
a considerable abatement of the former war en-
thuia5m. A Council is said to have been held
at Lima, at which seventeen members voted for
not attacking the Spanish fleet at the Chiacha
Islands, while only three voted for tho attack.
Tie spaniards continue TO make the most exor-
bi,ant demands. They refuse to accept the
proposition submitted BY Peru, that the Islands
should be abandoned by Spain, while Peru
would bind herself TO lqudate all the just claims
of Spain.
We find in orr files Of European papers
note from NJ Seward 70 Mr.. Dayton relating
to this Peruvian difficulty. Mr.. Seward IL
str1cts Mr. Dayton to state to NJ. Drouyn dc
Ibrvs unon the first occasion that tie President
had learned with rccsSi satisfaction that the
French Government had advised Spa'I 70 settle
her quarrel with Peru in an amicable way. MI
Dayton Is further directed 20 assure NJ. DrOuyn
10 Lhuys that tho Government Of tie United
States would use its whole influence TO assist
the Emperor Of France in his efforts to bring
about peace. Mr.. Seward thinks that whatever
may be the merits of the case, the propositions
made by Peru TO Spain indicate the sincere de-
sire Of the former Power TO preserve peace. u
is the conviction Of The people Of tho United
States, continues Mr. Seward, that peace be-
tween Europe and America is as important for
tho interests Of tho European States as
il is for those of the American Republics.
Peru, in the opinion Of the United States, has
pursued, for many years, Just and inolensiye
noliey toward all nations, developing in the
meanwhile its resourcos, and thus auPmenting
the wealth, the prosperity and the happiness Of
the human race The United States neither
see, nor desire to make conquests or to obtain
exclusive advantages upon this continent or in
J. rope; but ut the same time they cannot omit
IN la,e INTO consideration the bonds which unite
them by political interests and by sympathy
with all and every one Of the independent Amer
lean States; nor can they view with indiiler-
ence any net which would be subversiye OF the
sovereignty existing in these States, and based
upon the free election of tho people. Every
wound which is unnecessarily inflicted upon
their interests andsympathies Will 10 profoundly
felt by tho naiona! Leart, and will have later an

hot.air furnaces furnish any ventilation apprs-
ciable among the dense masses Of children
which congregate in almost every schoOl-houss.
IF the gentlemen of the new Beard will look
into the schools little, during the cold wealth.
err they will find that not one in three is sufi-
GENTLY warmed, and that not one in ten is even
passably ventilated What instruction can Be

According to the report of The Richmond
Sentinel Of the 18th, they lad g lively time in
the Rebel Congress the day before. Certain
secret proceedings OF that body, which are
supposed 20 favor the opening of negotiations
for peace with the Government at Wash.
irgton, had been denounced in The
Sentinel of the nth as Treason, and Mr'
Orr Of Mississippi brought the subject to
the attention Of the House. Importance
was attached to the article in question because
III. Sentinel was considered the organ Of Jeh.
Davis, and was presumed, therefore, to speak
his sentiments. Mr.. Orr's speech is significant
He does not reveal tie character of the pro-
ccedings referred to, but he defends them
even on The su7position that it was pro-
posed TO send Commissioners 10 Washington
to treat for peace. "This movement" he
SAYS sis not in the hands Of timid or time
serving men. Sustained, as they are, by a
volume of sentiment il the country and in the
aTmy and by their own sense of duty they are
that In some form the statesmanship
of the country shall be invoked in an honest
effort to end this carnival Of death by negotia-
ton" But that negotiation, he clearly init
mates, does not involve the destruction Of
Slavery or the reconstruction of the Union.
1--WE certainly" he continues, "could make it
to BE their (the FEDERAL GcyernmenD interest
to recognize US IS an Independent people with
out involving either Slavery or reconstruction. "
If Mr. Orr and his party propose nothing more
than this in sending Commissioners to Washing
ton, we don't see why Dir. Davis ard
bis party should object to their going, unless
he has a well-grcuIded fear that such
propositions being rejected, others more
likely TO be entertained would then
be offered. If the vote on the resolutions sub
sequently offered to rebuke TIE SeHtinelis a test
of the strength of the two parties, Mr. Orr aud
his friends have no reason 10 be discouraged.
A rumor meantime reaches US from Washing
ton that Mr. BAR has again gone to Richmond.
Mr. Singleton still remains there.
