1t is extremely doubtful whether Plus
TX can live in Rome with Victor Eman-
uel The primitive church is cited as an
example, but the example shows the i'm
possibility of The joint habitation by the
martyrdom Of so many popes for three
hundred years, and by the voluntary
exile of Constantine to Byzantium. And
il is in the name Of liberty that persecu-
ton is offered as an ideal to the church
fit be a part Of the arrangements of Vic
tor Emanuel to leave the Pope portion
of Rome, that portion will be lessened
every day, and Plus X would be about
as free in the Vatican as was Louis XVI
in the Tuileries or the tower of the tenn
ple A residence at Malta would secure
to both him and the Cardinals more
complete liberty. The Pope will con-
suit the interest Of the church alone,
but should he ask France to keep her
troops at Rome for year or two longer,
it is probable that France will refuse,
were it only to dispel the dark cloud
which the exile of Pins TX would cast
over the exposition Of 1867. .
We cannot see, indeed, what is to pre-
vent the Italian revolution from ascend
ing the capitol France abandons Rome,
Austria makes advances to King Victor
Emanuel, all the Catholic powers be-
come more and more entangled in revo-
lutionary embarrassments under the
pretext of escaping from the embarrass-
ments Of the Roman question. Christian
princes seem more disposed to allay
themselves to the revolution than to rise
in defense of the holy father and the
Catholic Church Rome, then, for one
reason or other, is really abandoned by
men. 1t is quite natural therefore, that
the Cialdinis, Ricasolis and Garibaldis
should prepare their moral means for
taking possession of it. The only power
which the revolution has now TO fear is
God. But what is God in the eyes Of
certain persons who are in the high
places Of power2 A childs scare-crow.
All this is horrible, but il is true.

THE PITTSBURG CONVENTION.

PITTsBURG, September 25.--Our city
il abaze with excitement Large dele
cations from all parts of the country
have arrived and our streets and pubic
thoroughfares are crowded The houses
are gaily decorated with flags, banners
and other patriotic emblems, giving
token of the deep and heartfelt emotions
of the people. At an early hour the
City Hall was crowded to excess by
those who came for the purpose of view.
ing the splendid decorations. The crowd
soon became so dense that no further
access could be had and thousands were
Obliged to retire. The ladies' choir oc-
cupied the gallery, and number of
patriotic songs were sung. A large
number of soldiers of the war of 1872
and of Mexico occupied the platform.
A number of speeches we're delivered by
distinguished men Mt home and from
abroad, and loud calls were made for
Gems. Butler and Geary, who, however.
were not then present The audience
then fell upon Mr.. Pope, who sang
several songs.
The hour for organization having ar
rived, the crowd were invited to retire,
which they reluctantly complied With.
The delegates from the different States
were now called, when the Wisconsin
delegation entered with the live eagle,
Old Abe, borne aloft on his perch, which
was most vociferously and enthusiasts
tically applauded by the ladies and
gentlemen present On motion OF Gen.
Hamlin from Maine, Old Abe was as
signed a position Of honor on the plat
form. The following States have
answered the call: Maine, Massachu-
sets. Vermont, Rhode Island, Connecti-
cut New York, New Jersey, Pennsyl-
yania, Delaware, Maryland, North Caro-
lima. Ohio, Illinois, Michigan, Wiscon-
sin, Iowa, Minnesota, Kentucky, Mis-
souri,, Texas, California, Nevada, Utah,
and Tennessee Cheering for the respec
tive delegations was now the order of
the day for several minutes The hall
was the scene of the widest enthusiasm.
The grand old anthem of Old Hundred
was now called for, the whole convention
now rising to their feet, and it was sung
in most impressive manner. Gems
Butler and Deyins now made their APP
pearance in the hall, which was the
signal for fresh outbursis of enthusiasm.
Gen. Butler, in expressing his thanks
for the honor conferred on him, was
greeted with three cheers A committee
on organization of two from each State
has Just been appointed, who will soon
report permanent officers of the con-
vention. A motion is now pending to
adjourn for two hours.
