PRoposEp UNION BETWEEN rur err,

PROPOSED UNION BETWEEN THE GRssx
AND ROMAN CATHOLIC CHuRcHEs.-Great
Importance is attached to the negotiations
which are pending between the Patriarch
of Constantinople and the Pope for the
union of the orthodox Greek and Roman
Catholic Churches. 1t Is generally be.
lieved that the negotiations are being car.
ried on under the auspices of France, and
that should they prove successful, the in
fluence of Russia in the Peninsula of the
Balkan would be destroyed, and France
would then become the future protecting
power of the Christian population in Tur-
key. The movement is looked upon very
favorably In this capital, as 1t Is considered
the only basis for defnitive solution Of
the Eastern question.
A report has been set afoat that the
Greek Christians of Turkey intend to SUBJ
nit themselves to the Pope, who will allow
the priests to marry, make some conces-
sion about giving the cup to the laity, and
leave vestments and ritual as nearly un-
changed as possible. Their faith may pos
sibly hang very loosely on the Greeks,
though that is not confirmed by their his
tory, and the Papacy, of course, would be
delighted; but we do not see what it has
to offer. The Greek Church in Turkey
need not look to Russia unless they like !;
the West will help them or refuse help
without much reference to creed, and this
is not the precise moment to cultivate the
good feeling of Austria.

Observation-Disclosures unpopular
ity,' General Sherman declared before he
started, takes him to Mexico. There are,
he added, thirty -four millions OF sovercigns
in this country who are opposed to the pre-
scncc of any more emperors in this part Of
the world. The Herads Washington spc-
cial says that there was meeting of the
Cabinet Saturday, at which the President
produced portions of his annual message on
Mexican affairs. If Minister Campbell and
General Sherman find that neither Maxi
milan nor the French intend to leave
Mexico, the President will recommend
vigorous action to hasten their departure.
The belief is entertained that the French
Emperor desires Macmillan to remain in
Mexico until the French troops are with
drawn.

But it is still believed he has gone there to

Amnesty to the Cretans.

WASHINGTON, November IA dispatch
from London of this days date states that
the Turkish Government has granted a
full amnesty to the insurgents of the
island of Gambia (ancient Crete).
IA civil and humane example to the
United States Government 1t has great
point and force too, coming from that quar-
ter. The Cretans had hardly laid down
their arms before the generous Sultan re-
stored them to security and freedom! Let
us abolish the phrases "savage as Turk, y
"bloody as a Turk" etc., since Turkey
has excclled the United States in humanity
and generosity, and hereafter say cas-
savage as Yankee" &c.-Dispatch.l

A MINISTER OF THE GOSPEL ARRESTED
FOR DIsTILLING WINE WITHOUT LICENSE.
James C. Provost, who claims to be min
lister of the gospel, and who resides in
Brooklyn, has been arrested, charged with
distilling wine and brandy without paying
the internal revenue tax. He admitted
having distilled the liquor, but said it was
only for sacramental purposes. Some years
ago, he said, he came to the conclusion
that the wine used for sacramental pur-
poses was not the clear juice of the grape,
and having a large quantity Of grapes, he
thought he would distil the pure article
and sell it to the churches. He also &C.
knowledges having distilled brandy for
sickness, but had not done SO since the
revenue law was in operation. The case
will be tried next week.-Ne,c York En-

THE BALTIMORE Police COMMISSIONERS.
Radical impudence has no limit. During
the trial of this case before Judge Bartol
last Saturday, Mr.. Rodgers said he had
been requested by the States attorney to
request his Honor, in rendering his opinion
in this case, to state the grounds upon
which his decision is based, SO that he
could be governed thereby in any future
action which he might be required to take.
He said, if these gentlemen are discharged,
and they should assume to act as before
their commitment, and which action the
States attorney thought was ground for
their arrest, and which no doubt would
lead to a breach of the peace, he would
again be compelled to renew the applica-
ton to the Criminal Court, to place them
again under arrest. The law Of habedS
corpus he knew would not allow party,
when discharged, to be arrested again for
the same offence, and therefore they
wanted to have the grounds upon which
the decision Of the court was based &C
curately stated.
Mr.. Latrobe.-You had better wait until
the decision is rendered, then you can take
measures for your action. Sufficient for
the day is the evil thereof.
Orville Horwitz, Esq, said it would be
equally gratifying to the counsel for petit
TONERS if his Honor would, in his written
opinion, state the grounds of his decision.
Judge Bartol said, in view of the magni-
Jude of the interests involved in the case,
he would take time to carefully consider
his opinion, and would give it in writing
on Tuesday next at II o'clock, in the SUI
perior Court room.
With the assent of the counsel and the
State, the petitioners were allowed to re-
main at liberty, upon the assurance that
they would be present on Tuesday to abide
the decision of Judge Bartol.

applied sack Of Liverpool salt per acre,
after the 18th June, on piece of poor
land, and the tobacco planted three days
after. The land was not thoroughly
worked for thirty days after the salt was
applied, yet 1t produced larger and
thicker article than my highly improved
lots, which were dosed with heavy coat
of stable manure early in the spring, and
the tobacco planted before the 5th of
June. ! applied the salt on one lot broad
cast, and on one in the row before bedding
the former produced the best tobacco.
A neighbor used 800 pounds of Peruvian
guano per acre on good land. The to-
bacco was small, and fred as rapidly as 1t
ripened. Not plant fired where the salt
was used. Not more than half an average
crop was made in this neighborhood. The

TERRIBLE ExPLosIoN.-On Thursday a
terrible explosion occurred at Devilviss's
steam -four and sorghum mill, at Harris
vile, Ohio, by which three persons were
almost instantly killed. Mr.. Devilviss was
in the engine-house, near the furnace,
when the boiler exploded, and was buried
in the ruins. His remains were badly
burned and mutilated by the hot water
and falling timbers. Two little children,
named Barkus, were playing in the road
near the mill. They were struck with
pieces of timber, and almost instantly
killed. The explosion was terrific one,
and rendered the mill almost atotal wreck.
The report of the explosion was heard seye-
raj miles from the town.
