the carriages were several four-in-hands. their I'M

KONysiyism Rnmnanf.

The fact cannot be disguised that rowdyism
and violence, the hasty use of the pistol and
the knife and fatal assaults upon the person
have been greatly in the ascendant of late in
this community. In the railroad cars con-
ductors have been assaulted and grievously
damaged. Steamboats, plying to Coney Island
have been infested with thieves, rowdies and
gamblers Drinking saloons and disreputable
bagnios are the scenes of nightly disturbance
and bloodshed, and even the police In the
discharge Of their duty have become the vic
tins of violence. The latest homicide in a
saloon is that of Mr. Henry G. Lyon, OF
the firm OF Farrer & Lyon, in South
street. who was shot dead on Friday evening
in q quarrel which seemed TO be but of mo-
mentary duration and apparently of triding
Importance, as far as the bystanders could tell.
Now, the frequent occurrence of scenes Ike
this can be traced TO the habitual custom OF
carrying concealed weapons and to the facility
with which too many Of the community have
learned to use them upon the slightest provo
cation. We have a very large and expensive
police force, and although they have done
their duty faithfully and suffered much of late
at the hands Of the rowdy element of city life
in endeavoring to control IL, il seems strange
that crime, bloodshed and violence of all
kinds should be on the increase. Perhaps IL
is not TO The negligence of the police so much
as to the laxity of the police courts that we
are to look for the cause Of this state of things
Wherever the remedy may lie it should be seen
after at once, or there will be no safety for any
one from shootngs or stabbiugs by night or
by day

Minister johnson Mt sheffield.

We have already called attention to the
speech delivered at Sheffield by Mr.. Reverdy
johnson, our Minister at the Court of st.
James, on Thursday, September 3, and to-day
we report, by cable telegram, an address
made by the same gentleman to the corporate
authorities of that town. in which he reii rated
his assurances Of the friendly fee OF the
American nation for Great Britain, and
claimed that Notwithstanding the stream of
foreign emigration, the United States was
English in sentiment. Il appears that
the master cutters held their annual feast
on that day, and that Mr.. Johnson, who
had been formally invited, was present and
made speech on the occasion. II is impos-
sible to refuse to admit that Mr. Johnson did
well to accept the invitation of the master cut
lers; for there is no more highly respectable
body OF men in England. 10 is Just as
impossible to refuse to admit that Mr.
johnson acquitted himself, at the banquet
and before the corporation of Sheffield, as
IL was natural to expect that a man of
his culture and experience would do in the
circumstances. Mr.. Johnson was not sent
over from this country to quarrel with or to
insult the people of Great Britain. but to
represent The dignity and interests of the
United States. Civility and respect 20 the
great British people are perfectly compatible

The Rosecrans White Sulphur DIissiOn-Th
Mountain and the Mouse.

The Rosecrans White Sulphur DIissiou-The
Mountain and the Mouse.
The results of the volunteer political mission
of General Rosecrans to the Virginia White
Sulphur Springs are before the country in the
published correspondence between him and the
numerous Southern military and political lead
ers concerned, and it is but repetition of the
old story Of the mountain and the mouse. Cen
eral Rosecrans is very enthusiastic patriot,
and generous one; but he does not reveal
himself as an astute and experienced politi-
clan nor as q cool and skilful diplomat in this
correspondence. His letter deals too much in
sentiment and too little in hard matters of fact
and of course the reply is of corresponding
character. These Southern gentlemen acknow-
ledge their devotion to the constitution and
plead for their constitutional rights. Very
good. But what constitution do they mean
Under 'the constitution as it was" they pleaded
the right of secession, and seeded, and hence
our late terrible civil war. Do they mean this
constitution or the constitution as 1t is with the
amendment known as Article XIV? They say
nothing upon this question, and so their letter
toGeneral Rosecrans leaves the political situa-
ton precisely as it was before. After this ex-
pertinent in diplomacy among our Southern
politicians General Rosecrans, with all conve-
nent despatch, should set out for the more
appropriate field of diplomacy which awaits
him in Mexico.

s"ni'hmon' of a Catholic Bishop to

Siberia.
We are informed briefly by telegraph that
the Gar OF Russia has banished bishop of
the Roman Catholic Church to Siberia for re-
fusing to attend an ecclesiastical synod sum-
moned by the Emperor. 1t is rarely that the
Gar, as the head of the Greek Catholic
Church, comes into collision with his clerical
subjects Of the Roman faith, who, in their
spiritual capacity, owe allegiance to the Pope.
We are not informed by the barren despatch
OF the circumstances attending this case; but
we know that the intimate connection of
Church and State, in Russia as elsewhere, is
always liable to result in such collisions. The
Roman Catholic religion prevails in Poland,
and the sympathies of that Church have
always been on the side of Polish liberty. This
may have something to do with the severity of
the Gear, as well as the natural dislike
existing in the Russian Court The Greek
Church-of which the Emperor of Russia is
the head-has always been regarded at Rome
as schism, while the professors of the Greek
form of Catholicity have always claimed that
it is not entitled to be called a schism, but
that the deposition of ecclesiastical jurisdiction
was not placed in the hands of ST. Peter ex-
clusively, but was shared equally by st. Paul,
under whose banner they claim to fight the
battles of Catholic Christianity. They claim,
further, that there is extant letter from Paul
to Peter refusing to bring the Eastern
Churches under the discipline of the latter as
head of the Church established at Rome. The
conflict of the two systems has, therefore, been
one concerning discipline and the centre of
authority more than Of dogmas and doctrines
That the deposit of faith was left to many
others besides Peter is, we believe, an essen
tial point of belief in the Greek Church, and
hence, while accepting most Of the doctrines
of the Roman Church, the dictation of Rome
on points of discipline is rejected and the
unity of its authority is denied.
The Gear may find himself in a somewhat
similar position to Henry the Eighth if he
persists in sending the Roman Catholic digni-
tarles into exile-that is to say, he may pro-
woke The thunders of the Vatican; but they will
do him as little harm as they did bluff Harry,
who got as many wives and robbed as many
churches as he wanted in spite of the fulmina-
lions of the Roman Pontif The Gear is no
doubt resolved to maintain his authority as
head of the Church, no matter how many
bishops may stand in the way, and any bad
spirit which may be created by that determi-
nation will be only another evidence of the
evil of connection between Church and
State, from which we in this country are
happily free.
