THE SEPAR1TION or CHURCH IND STATE
IN IT4LI

IN IIALl.
In no country of Europe has the American
idea of complete separation between Church
and State found so many and so earnest cham
pions as in Italy. The founder of Italian unity,
Cavour, emphatically declared that his ideas of
the relation between Church and State could
be described in the few words: A Free Church
in Free State. The Italian Government
has ever since shown disposition
to carry out the idea of Cavour and TO prepare
the way for an absolute separation of the two
Powers, in which it saw the only way TO ter
inmate the conflict between the Papacy, insist
ing on the preservation of the Papal domin ions,
and the Italian nation demanding the COnsOll-
dation of all the Italian territory into one
Kingdom. Two years ago tie King am
nounced, in a speech from the throne, that
the Government intended TO bring in a bill
carving out these ideas. Since then the Gov
ernmcnt has steadily matured the preparations,
and in November 1866, the Prime Minister
Baron Ricasoi, in an admirable circular to the
exilcd Bishops, more fully developed the plan
of the Government, pointing to the COnsttu-
ton of the United States as a model deserving
to be followed by every Liberal State Govern
mcnt.
Inc substance OF tne Dill, winch was alu
before the Italian Parliament in January, was
given in our issue of yesterday. It fully an
swcrs the expectations which had been raised
with regard to it. 1t offers. by one bold stroke,
TO tear down all the rlmparts by which
the Roman Catholic State Governments,
during the period Of the excessive
power of the Popcs, tried to secure
themselves from the cncrOachments Of the
hierarchy into State affairs. Pldcct and ere
quatur-which even Republican Switzerland is
not yet willing to abandon-nomination of the
Bishops by the King and their taking of the
oath of allegiance, are to be freely
rclinquishcd by the Italian Government.
In return for this freedom granted
to the Church. she is to part with all
her privileges, exemptions immunities,
and prerogatives She is 10 receive no support

self with the free concurrence OF the faithful,
and by means of the property belonging to her
il legitmatcly acquired Her property, how
ever cannot be landed property, and the
Government must insist on an mex
orablc enforcement of the mortman laws
The ecclesiastical property in Italy is estimated
at about cG0,OO00OO. Of this the State demands
G24 100000, or about one third, for itself. The
Bishops are allowed TO effect the conversion

TILE ROTNTY BILL.

The Bounty bill passed the House yesterday,
by strong vote after ii debate which, II
it did not properly show the wastcfulnesS
of the measure, proved that its friends
were determined to carry it, no matter what
arguments were advanced against it. When
we find Mr.. Schenck unable to tell what
amount will have to be paid to the soldiers
should the bill become a law, and quoting esti-
mates which range from SGOO,OOO,OOO to Si5,-
OOO.O00 we are convinced of the ignorance OF
such legislation and when we find 0lr. Banks
declaring that nothing could be proposed for
the soldier that he would not sustain, and that
he did not care whether the bill would take
$3.50. 100000 or $SJ0000,000 out of the Treas
ury, we are at a loss to know where such reck
lcssncss is to find an end. We should be sorry
10 see the soldiers vote become like the Irish
vote-the shuttlecOck of politicians-but this
is precisely what the Bounty bill tends to
make it. Mr.. Schenck talks of its being
"impracticable, in the present condition of the
Treasury, to bring all bounties up to the
"highest standard paid" but thinks this bill
will meet the first expectation of the soldier.
Does Mr.. Schcnck contemplate other bOuntes
till he reaches his limit of S1,2OOP Is this but
the bcglnnlngG
The second section of the bill is that which
undertakes to equalize bounties; that is, it
deducts all local bOunties from the amount
paid by the United States By the de-
duction of local bounties, hundreds of
millions of dollars will be saved
to the Treasury, for which reason we re-
ioice that the second section remains in the
bill, though the Eastern members voted solidly
against it, ON the ground that it practically
gave all the bOuntics TO the West
It is Il great error TO suppose that orr SOL
diers will profit by this petty appropra-
ton OF 800 or 5000 to each-this monstrouS
Gift of hundreds of millions in the aggregate.
In the end they will be the losers. Mr.. Morrill,
proposes to reduce taxes, on the ground of econ
omy, and, as if in ironical comment on his
creduity, the House within two days
attempts TO take more money out of
the Treasury at one sweep than it may
accumulate in a year 1t is certain that the
friends of the bill did not Overestimate the
appropriation it will require it is not certain
that they did not underestimate ii vastly.
New-York tribune., 1867-02-16

The Hon. Lewis L. Parsons of Alabama was
recently reported in our Washington CORE
spondence as figuring in a Cotton transaction
whereby the Federal Treasury lost $l,A0,000.
Our special correspondent has since inyesti
gated the matter and fully rctracted the impu-
tation but we mention the main facts here, lest
some one should suppose the charge in any
manner countenanced by us. Having known
Mr. Parsons nearly quarter of a century Gs a
man of honor and personal worth, whatever
the eccentriCities of his politics, we feel conf
dent not only that he never conspired to de-
fraud the Treasury. but that he is utterly in
capable of doing so.
If we could stop the stream of calumniOus
fabrication which ever sets in all directions from
Washington City, and whereby our correspond
cnts are often imposed upon it would subtract
much from the bitterness of life.
New-York tribune., 1867-02-16

The vitality of Fcnianism has received fur
ther illustration in the outbreak in the West Of
Ireland, of which the cable gave us intel
ligence yesterday morning. Particulars of this
new arising will bc awaited with some anxiety
and it will be a disappointment to many that
owing to the fact of the telegraph wires be-
tween Killarney and Valentia being still down.
we have no news to-day from the scene of the
disturbances If the intelligence already re-
ccived is TO be credited the outbreak is of so
serious a character as to demand the presence

New-York tribune., 1867-02-16

We print full summary of the grounds on
which the United States bases its demand In the
Chancery Court of Great Britain for the restora-
ton of the cotton held by Trenholm and PRO
leau, the Rebel agents in England. They
are in effect that our cOnflscaton laws
apply to all Rebel property. no matter
whether removed from the country or
not that by the law of nations Rebels cannot
transfer to others property belonging to the
legitimate sovereign; and that, even If such
power existed, the complete suppression OF the
Rebellion, and the annulng by the Rebel
States of all their pretended contracts, restores
to the United States. as the only possible
owner, all property in dispute.
