The POPE AND THE FREEMAsoSs.
The recent attack upon Freemasonry
by the Pope has stirred up the Free
masons of Antwerp. who have ad-
dressed a letter to his Holiness in de-
fensc Of their craft, in which Free
masonry is thus described
Liberty, equality, solidarity. not

but peacefully carried out in the
bosom Of q progressive society
is our aim. 1t is so great, SO truly
human, that no one-be he who he
may-who bears the name of man can
view it with aversion. We desire to
make men greater in dignity and in
happiness. Is not this an ideal
which must be inviting to all, what
ever their religion or their especial
philosophy Freemasonry is above
all religions and all systems of philo-
sophy, because it accepts them all,
in so far as they are willing to concur
in rendering men better and more
worthy. But whenever a religion,
departing from this social mission,
declares itself as a truth superior to
humanity, and pretends to be any
thing but an instrument of progress
perfectible by the hand of sovereign
man, it is our duty to declare that
this religion places itself outside the
pale of humanity and that human

Redemption Of Mutilnsee currcnc,

The Comptroller of the Currency
offers the following suggestions rela-
tive to the redemption of mutilated
currency notes Of National Banks:
First. The notes are to be re-
deemed by the banks by which they
are respectively issued, and should
not be returned to this office in sums
less than five hundred dollars, or
even in multiples of that amount.
Second. Mutilated notes which
have been torn or defaced will be
received when presented by the bank
that issued them, provided all tie
fragments are returned and the en-
craving or signatures are not so far
obhterated that it cannot be deter
mined by what bank the notes were
issued.
''Third. Fragments should be re-
deemed by banks, in full, when ac-
companied by an affidavit stating The
cause and manner of mutilation, and
that the missing part of the note is
totally destroyed The good charac-
ter of the afiiant should also be fully
vouched for by the officer before
whom the affiant is taken
'These atfidavits must be forwarded
to this Office with the fragments to
which they relate, in order that banks
presenting such parts of notes may
obtain credit for the same.
Exceptional cases may occur in
which no affidavit can be obtained,
and where no reasonable doubts can
exist in regard to the entire destruc-
ton or irreparablc damage to missing
portions Of notes-as by fire, acids,
&c-where evidence OF identity is
ample by the signature Of one or both
officers, or title or locality of the
bank, and the denomination Of the
note-where the integrity of the bill
holder is uncxceptional, and where
no question could arise IL regard to a
fraudulent or improper use Of missing
parts; in such instances, judicious
discrimination must necessarily be
exercised by the officers of banks. 1t
is, however, advised that such notes
be received at their full face value,
and Il perfect note given therefor, Il
record being preserved of the fact, to
be sent to this office with the mutt
lated note when returned for redemp-
ton by the bank, in WHICH case full
credit will be allowed III this depart
ment.
''Fourth When no satisfaction can
be obtained in regard to missing
parts, and possibility exists that any
improper use can be made of thi
same, it is recommended that pro
portionate value only be allowed
estimating this by comparison of the
portion returned to the missing part
"A record should be kept of tho
amount allowed i'll all such instances
and u voucher of same rendered tC
this Office, when the mutilated mote
or notes shall be returned for re
dcmption."

The Chicago Times, an able con-
servative journal, severely rebukes
the Robespieres and Marats of Ten
nessee and Indiana for their bloody
prescriptions of Jefferson Davis, in
the following extracts, which we copy
from that journal:
The action of the Indiana and Ten
nessee Legislatures, in asking Presi-
dent Johnson to hang Jefferson Davis,
is one of the most extraordinary ex-
hibitions of legislation that ever oc-
Cured. Neither of these bodies seem
to have taken the trouble to request
that he should first be tried, and that
his execution should follow in case he
was found guilty; but both wish him
hung at once, without the vexatious
delay of trial, or its possible uncer-
tainties as to a verdict of guilty
1t is entirely safe to assert that
President johnson is not prepared, at
the suggestion of any one, to enact
the role of the hangman. It is a
severe necessity which obliges him to
endorse the conclusion of tribunal
which adjudges death to any offender.
Even in this indirect use of the mighty
power of life and death, the nation
has seen that he has used it on the side
of humanity and mercy. In signing
q limited number of death warrants
he has done so only when the crime
involved was not of political char
acter
At the present moment there is no
party, respectable in numbers and
influence, that would urge the en-
forcement of the death penalty for
political offences.
IT Is infinitely better that this mer-
ciful spirit should prevail. Our own
existence as a nation grew from re-
bellion; and we, the descendants of
rebels, can afford to deal leniently
with those of the same name Liber-
alism III Europe, speaking through
the mouths Of Italian Democrats, has
urged mercy to Davis. The democ-
racy of the old world do not wish to
have this Government lend its exam
pic to the merciless policy which
SURPRISES rebellion with the axe and
rope. Should this Government hang
Davis, the precedent would be fol-
lowed by every Government in Europe
IN It's dealings with the leaders of
rebellions. Therefore. for the sake
of liberalism in the old world, and
because, in our strength and victory,
we can afford to be magnanimous,
should we spare Davis from the ex-
treme penalty of the law
These Legislatures who are clamor-
ing for blood only disgrace themselves
and humiliate the nation by their
action. The effect such action will
have upon considerate men will be to
convince them that legislative honors
in this country are not inaccessible to
ruffianism. Such action is simply
evidence that some penitentiary has
been defrauded by the State houses at
Indianapolis and Nashville of its oc-
cupants.

The London -No,miny Sta. makes
these remarks on the release of John
Mitchell by President johnson:
We feel it to be an act of unkind-
ness to this country, an encourage
ment to the Fenian disturbers of the
peace, and & proceeding calculated to
make us less confident in the inter
ference of the United States Govern
ment with the fitting out of priva-
teers, or any warlike expedition upon
which these foolish people may
embark to crafty their hostility or
their vanity. AS the openly avowed
object of the organization of Irishmen
which solicited Mitchel's release was
to promote hostilities against Eng
land, the proper course for the chief
magistrate of friendly power was
either to refuse to recognize them at
all, or to show his entire disapproba-
ton of their organization and its aims.
The exigencies of the political situa-
ton may make it desirable 10 secure
the support of the Irish element to
the Administration; the industriously
circulated story that Mr.. Seward had
given the information to the British
Government which led to the arrest
of the Fenian pioneers may require
to be put down by an executive act of
q different tendency; but no tho
roughly friendly Government would,
for objects snch as these, run the risk
of offending great nation by con-
sorting on terms Of amity with its
bltterest enemies.
The GIRDLE AROUND THE WORLD.
The Alta Calyormio,a has news of the
arrival of the expedition of the West
ern Union Telegraph Company at
Petropolowski, Russian Siberia, on
the 10Th of October. From the time
the expedition left this port, every
thing has worked like a charm.
Thorough and extensive soundings
have been made in Norton Sound, as
far North as Behring's Straits, and
there are no difficulties in the way.
The native tribes in Northern Siberia,
who, it was feared, might throw
obstacles IN our way, seem anxious to
assist us in everything, and express
themselves much gratitied at the pros
pect Of employment
NEGRO SUFFRAGE. The radical doc
trine of negro suffrage finds no favor
with the people, even where the Re
publican party has received the most
positive support. Only the other day
the doctrine received Il severe rebuke
in New England, Connecticut pro-
nouncing most decidedly against it.
Now, Wisconsin has spoken: and that
State, giving to the Republican ticket
majority Of seven thousand votes,
gives, at the same time, its verdict
against negro suffrage. Thus we find
an evident reign of good common
sense in four States-Connecticut,
Wisconsin, New jersey and South
Carolina " y Herald

Great curiosity has been excited at
Cherbourg bya small vessel, propelled
by electricity. The inventor, a aFrench
engineer, has shown his discovery to
the Marquis de Chasseloup Laubant,
Minister of Marine. Another scien-
tific question has been submarine
locomotion. Several trials have been
made, but without success. However
an Italian engineer, Guglielmo Gin
stiniani, has presented to the Ere ch
Government the model of submarine
boat. The French Government has
directed a special committee to cxa-
mine and report upon the system.
