Presents FOR THE PoPE.-On Thursday,
23d inst, several of the most distinguished
prelates. together with several divines and
a large numberof ecclesiastical students OF
the Catholic Church, took their departure
from New York for Rome. The New York
Herald says;
"The Holy Father deemed the coming
festival of st. Peter and st. Paul, June 20.
q fitting time for the convOcation of the
bishops and archbishops of the United
States, aud issued n request for general
attendance at that time. In response to
this request the bishops and archbishops OF
the United States, almost without exception,
have decided to be present, and those who
sailed yesterday were only few of the
many intending to take part. Not the
least pleasing portion of their mission Is
that of being the bearers of presents to the
Pope from the congregations or districts
which they represent, and in which collec-
tions and enterprises Of various kinds have
lately been held forthe purpose of obtain
ing funds to assist the Holy Father in his
present difficulties. Although the dOna-
tlons generally are handsome and munli-
cent, yet none excel in design and detail the
gift from the citizens of Cincinnati, which
Archbishop Purcell carries with him. The
gift is n beautiful silver model of the yacht
Henrietta, with cargo of $4,000 in gold
pieces. The model is to serve rs Il reminder
of the enterprise of our nation, while the
cargo will serve as a specimen of our lib
eralityn

Tho Now Bridge Across the Miami.

The Lawrenccburg Register, in n lengthy
article concerning the new bridge now be.
ing built across the Great Miami near its
mouth, speaks thus:
During the past three months, the Com
'pany have been working one dredging
machine, which, with its great iron scoop,
reaches far down below the waters surface,
and brings up load Of sand and gravel,
preparatory to the driving Of piles and
laying the foundation for piers; they are
also running three engines in driving
piles. La addition, Henry aud Paul Truitt
Of this city have been engaged, with thirty
workmcn, in hauling earth to I'll in around
Golfer dams and pxotection walls.
During the entire summer, double set
Of workmen have, been employed, fifty
carpenters and seventy laborsrs. All the
available machinery is run night and day,
including Sundays, employing about City
at night, and the remainder in the hours
Of the day.
1t is estimated by the engineer. that
when the work is completed, there will
have been driven two thousand seven
hundred piles, each thirty feet in the
ground, which will make an aggregate Of
fifty four thousand feet of pile driving
Aside frcm this, Between three hundred
and four hundred piles have been driven
for the construction of Golfer dams.

Iohnson's Abeitors.

tt is evident that Johnson intends to DO
his worst to defeat the reconstruction acts
Of Congress, aud to restore the South TO
rebel control, and there are few of either
party who do not now believe that If by
these means he should regard himself
strong enough, he is criminal enough at
heart t. seize the Government by a stroke
of force We say few of either party, in-
GLIDING the Democrats among those who
place this estimate on Johnson's character,
because they also profess to see the signs
Of this comp d'etat aud exhort him TO make
it. We can see that the course he has
taken will destroy all that has been done
in the way Of restoration Of peace and re-
construction of Government, aud will re-
construct the rebel iusolence and do
mination, as Generals Sheridan and Sickles
have said. We can see that Johnson s
course would inevitably blow to the winds
all ideas of subordination to anything but
his will
1t is also apparent to all, that johnson
has gained courage, and is taking pro-
ceedinSs which he would not have ventured
upon a year ago, nor during the session of
Congress. Whence comes this increased
confidence? 1t is from his experience in the
facility of weakening and dividing the ma
jority in Congress, by means Of the axccu-
tive patronage, and especially is this demo
raliaing process available in the Senate.

Publishing Democratic Speeches.

The New Albany Commercial objects to
the publication by the Cincinnati papers
of the speeches Of Democrats in the pres
ent canvass, and thinks it shows eenerosi-
ty that is calculated to work harm. We
DO not so understand it. Republicans do
not fear 10 read Democratic speeches, and
they thereby become conversant with the
fallacy of their positions and are prepared
to meet and refute them. A Democrat
who is making a speech too, may be whole
somely restrained from going too much to
extremes, knowing that it will be reported
and published. A Democrat, too, may be
led to read a speech of one of his champ.
ions in Republican paper, and see IN. the
same parer a refntation of the false points
taken. Republicans have nothing to lose
