Hence the vociferous applause at entertain
ments that are received very quietly in the
winter, and the ready response of sympathy
with the strong acting that the winter will not
stand at all.
TIE TREATMENT OF PRISONERS REBELS En-
DEAvoRNG TO JUSTIFY THEMsELvEs.-One OF the
Richmond papers has published report, five
columns in length, Of a committee Of the late
rebel Congress, on the condition and treatment
of our soldiers formerly prisoners in their
hands, and express hope that the Northern
papers will copy it, in order to ''remove many
false Impressions and unfounded prejudices"
which it supposes to exist in the minds of the
Northern people. The people of the North
need no further evidence on this subject than
they have presented TO them in the relative APP
pearance Of tho released rebel and returned
Union prisoners now seen on our streets daily.
The rebels who have been wintering In our
military prisons are now being returned to
their homes looking far heartier than when
they were captured, while our own troops are
returned to US from Andersonville, Salisbury
and Libby, ragged, MANNED and ruined In
health. The illustration presented by the con-
trast Is sufficiently forcible for our eyes.
TIE KING OF ITALY AND THE PORE OF RoM-
1t Is understood that an armistice has been
entered into between the King of Italy and
the Holy Father of Rome (who repudiates the
kingdom of Italy as usurpation) to the effect
that no bishops of the Church In Italy shall
be required to take the oath Of allegiance to
the crown, but shall simply be called upon
to enter into written agreement not to vio-
late the laws Of the kingdom. In other words,
the King admits the spiritual claims Of the
Church, and the Church agrees to be neutral
respecting the temporal claims of the King
This is compromise which admits the
Wooden Horse into Troy, with his huge she'll
of body full of armed men. Whether they
will be permitted to come out or not il the
question which now remains to be solved.
We apprehend, from significant outbreak Of
the populace at Naples against q passing
clerical party, shouting along live religion"
that Italy, between Church and State, will
soon be in q condition which will render it
an uncomfortable country for travellers.
! AN ASTONISHING DsCovrRY.-One Of the cop
perhead journals Of this island has made the
astounding discovery that while our foreign
commerce-exports and impors-has greatly
fallen of during the war, the commercial ex-
changes of England and France with the world
at large have greatly increased, and that II this
business goes on at this rate it will not
be many years before our foreign trade is
entirely wiped out. We think so, too; but
we are very sanguine that we shall find
| the soil and climate Of the Southern States still
adapted to such staples as cotton, sugar, rice,
tobacco, pitch, tar and turpentine, and that with
these accessions to our trade, and with two
millions of men changed from consumers and
destroyer to producers we shall perhaps turn
the tables right side up again. The great mis-
take Of the coppcrhcads il that they will have
II either that thore has been no war to disturb
our business affairs, or that the war IL 70 last till
the next generation.
SIoNs OF GATHERING SToRM.-The old
monarchical establishments Of Europe are
beginning to DO feverlsh and shaky. There
| are VbEiouS bikns Vi tnl5 now VlSloio ITOm Eng
land to Austria and the Mediterranean. Among
the latest is the revolutionary conspiracy just
discovered in Spain for the overthrow of the
Bourbons and the union Of Spain with Por-
tugal The lcaven Of our grand and success
full war for the Union and popular rights in
various forms Is beginning to work In Europe
The confidence Of the people in popular n,en's
ia revived, and kings and crowns and o"sA'
chics are In danger.
PRACTICE AND THEoRY--The 7s'o'1e cree"
nice little theory to show that ''n no0'' =,
to agitate the question Of negro N,ni"ss. n'
theory is based on tbs assumption that the
country has already given the negro avose-
an assumption proved thus'-The negro had q
vote All the time, only as the negro did not come
IN ;frmeaiate relation with the government w.
,t;caIlv AZ his master or owner, who hal swal-
lowed M bis political existence, stood between,

Now the relations are altered; the Dastei Is
knocked out of the arrangement; tie sio'e
