By special telegram from Rome to London,
and thence through the Atlantic cable, we are
enabled to place before the readers of the
HERALD to-day pofiset outline Of the con-
tents Of bHl issued by POPE Plus the Ninth
on Monday, directing that general council OF
the Catholic Church shall assemble in the
Vatican on the 9Th day of December, in the
year 1869.
The Pontifcal programme of the duties of
this venerable congregation is comprehensive
and OF the very highest Importance, the sub
jects set down for Its consideration affecting
the public veal, general society and the
routine, executive and domestic, of tho .cvern-
ments and peoples Of every country on earth.
Their discussion by men welding vast in
huence is rendered imperative under the Papal
summons, and Its issue is likely to produce
very momentous consequences. The great
principles which electricity has written on the
human mind in the word progress, and which
are being difused over the world by steam
and the railroad, as the essentials of enlighten-
ment and civilization, are to be arraigned and
placed on trial before q compact hierarchy
which has ever been suspicious of, If not
inimical to, their application. If the principles
can be subordinated to the hand of the Most
Reverend corporation they will be retained
IL not, most probably condemned. A Papal
condemnation of progress, issued in 1869, will
precipitate conflict between free thought and
the Catholic Church which will, by Its very
violence, improve religion by shaking from
the affairs the cobwebs of the past and defining
the exact limits aud duties of the universal
nastoral charge.

Mr.. Disraeli's Manifesto.

Premier Disraeli, wishing perhaps to antic-
pate the Pope and insure the political annihi-
lation of the Anglo-Papal ''conspirators" of
the Parliamentary opposition, pronounced
powerful official bull, or manifesto, in London
on the 18th of June, in the shape of an extra
Cabinet oration-which we publish to-day
delivered before the members of the incor-
porated guild of Merchant Tailors on the occa-
sion of their annual banquet The tories
rallied in great strength, and the tory mobiles
and lay leaders, with their firm, unyielding and
buoyant Israelitish master, were right welcome
to the festive-not professional-board Of the
Merchant Tailors, the most thoroughly con-
sentative municipality in Great Britain.
The Premier was equal to the occasion. He
took his boldest stand against Impending
change" and proclaimed that ChYch and
State are ons and shall femain indivisible.
H.t took credit to big Ministry for continued
success at home and abroad, since its skilful
recuperation of the national finances just after
the ''Black Friday" day on Change down to
the receipt Of the latest despatch from General
Napier in Abyssinia. The Gladstone party
was proclaimed revolutionary and about to
'level downwards," and the voters of Britain
we're assured that there remained no hope
of escape from NATIONAL sssssth under the debris
Of a-i..: :::s ;as;tltlohS bit By voting FOR the
tories at the general election under the Reform
bill. This is really the grand point of the
Disraeli bull, one which will be elucidated
in the polling booths instead Of secret con-
clave. s''"l
The late Prince Albert, after his interference
with the uniform. of the English army, was
termed ''truc British tailor" n appears,
however, as If Mr.; Disrsel is about to prove
himself the most high spirited tailor in Europe
for he positively states that he will not alter or
mend any article, and that the English millions
must continue to wear their old constitutional
covering TO the end, no matter how badly il
may fit. An old garment is, however, very
frequently ''put of" at too high rate-of
which, perhaps, the Premier may reflect in
season.

Parliamentary Collision in EnGiand-The
Irish Church Bill Rejected by the Peers.

Parliamentary Collision in EnGiand-The
Irish Church Bill Rejected by the Peers.
By cable telegram from London we have the
highly important intelligence that the members
of the British House of Lords, true to their
feudal instincts and with a devotion to the
privileges of their class which would have been
termed chivalry in the days of the Crusaders,
have placed the two branches of the Legislature
of England in direct collision by voting the
rejection of the Irish Church Appointments
Suspensory bill, lately passed by very de-
csive majority of the Commons and the prin-
ciple of which was fully approved by the Crown
in the reply of the Queen to the address carried
to the foot of the throne from the lower
house. This decisive act was accomplished
at an early hour yesterday morning, after a
very exciting debate commenced on Monday
evening and conducted in the presence of the
unusually crowded audience. Ninety-seven
peers voted for the bill and one hundred, and
ninety-two against it, the Irish establishment
being sustained in its present position by
majority Of ninety-fve votes.
Our kilograms close at such an hour this
morning as precludes any lengthy comment on
legislative fact which will vastly hasten the
constitutional revolution which is hourly pro-
crossing in England towards a solution. The
reform party will now, most likely, add to
their hastings cry such words as "Reform the
House of Lords!" ''No hereditary legisla-
tors" "An elective Senate of limited dura-
toni"

fully restored to the Union, and probably all,
however Objectionable the terms and manner
of the restoration may be, and thus difficulties
and agitation about reconstruction will be
removed. Congress will then have the oppor-
tunity and time to consider the various ques-
tons pertaining to the finances. Indeed, the
full consideration of them cannot be deferred
longer. We expect little or nothing from the
present Congress, for as we said it has shown
itself utterly incapable There will remain,
then, a most important work for the next Con-
gress to do. The people should begin in the
different Congressional districts to hunt up
their ablest and pnrest men for representa-
tives-for practical and thorough business
men who have some knowledge of financial
matters-and they should be resolved to elect
such, Independent of old party affiliations or
party machinery 1.-THE members of the present
Congress should be returned we may expect
nothing but inextricable confusion in the
finances of the country and the most burden
some taxation. There is no hope but in a
sweeping change and in the election of new
men for the next Congress.

The AMERICAN BATTALION FOR THE Pore
II will be seen by protest which we publish
elsewhere that the four Catholic Archbishops
the United States have defined their position
in reference to the raising of troops in the
Union for the Pope. While declaring that the
men who have foisted themselves forward as
the pious promoters of the scheme are not
worthy of the confidence OF Catholics, they
contend that It's success would, instead of
bene6ting the Holy Father, only increase the
difficulties by which he is at present sur
rounded. The protest virtually puts an end to
the Battalion for the Pope, and in all proba-
bility has knocked in the head some big Job"
that might have been profitable to somebody.

The New Legislatures In Louisiaua and
North Carolina.

The Legislative middle in Louisiana has
been partially clarified by very summary
process In the Senate yesterday the roll was
called, and those members who had not taken
the prescribed test oath did not find their names
on the list. At this Mr.. Sambola, a democrat,
who is also probably an aristocratic darby,
and has amended his name to suit his
better condition, rose and demanded
that his name be called. The shrewd
Lieutenant Governor, who is certainly well
posted in parliamentary lodges, cooliy and
caustically requested that the gentleman
Senate. This digniied rebuff ended the mat
ter, and the democrats confessed themselves
defeated in both branches, the House having
pursued the same policy in calling the roll, and,
in fact clinching the matter by giving several
democratic seats to republican candidates who
had not been elected. Another telegram was
presented from General Grant during the day,
in which he suggests that the members by right
are required to take only the oath prescribed
by the new constitution but the Lieutenant
Governor contemptuously suggested that it
be referred, and the Speaker of the House
somewhat vehemeut,y declared that he would
accept no order from General Grant or any
other General on the subject Thus the
radical candidate for the Presidency was again
snubbed b. fhsse radical dissentients from his
polly"
In North Carolina, where the new Legis-
lature meets to-day General Candy has
arranged matters, probably with view to
avoid the unpleasant imbroglio which thus
muddles Louisiana. He has ordered that the
test oath be done away with in qualifying the
judges and officers Of the State, but whether
the Legislature will construe the order as
applying to its own members, Or will obey Il If
50 construed, are very doubtful questions.

Taxation of United states Bonds.

The action of the House of Representatives
on Monday on the resolution of Mr.. Cobb, of
Wisconsin, to levy a tax of ten per cent on the
interest of United States bonds has created
some surprise and something of futter. 1t
is true the resolution only instructs the Com
mittee of Ways and Means to report without
delay bill for that purpose and that COM
mittee may delay long time before it re-
ports. Still, the prompt and determined action
ofthe House, and the large vote of ninety-two
for the resolution to fifty-fve against, show
that even this radical Congress is disposed to
appropriate Mr.. Pendleton's thunder on 6nan-
cial questions Taxing the interest of the
bonds ten per cent is equal to reducing the in
terest on the debt more than half per cent.
Butler was the boldest champion of this re-
solution, and, though we do not see the name
of Thad Stevens among the rolls of yeas or
nays, he would probably have voted with
Butler had he been present. There are, how
ever, number of the names of leading radicals
recorded for the resolution. This would be
called by the radical press here reputation in
Pendleton or any other democrat. What does
it say of Butler, Bingham, Farnsworth, Covode,
the Washburns and the rest of the radicals who
go for taxing the interest on bonds? The
Committee of Ways and Means may be able
to smother this proposition, or the Senate
might refuse to concur in it, but the action of
the House is nevertheless very significant.
The Chicago platform does not appear to have
much influence or to be much respected by its
trainers. We shall undoubtedly see some
curious developments by and by with regard
to the course of Congress and the political
parties on financial questions.
The East Houston street Mystery-Tene.
ment Houses.
The case which we reported yesterday Of
the supposed murder of Helen Mcbride by her
paramount, William A. Flynn, is one which re-
veals in a striking manner the evils of the
tenement house system. A drunken man quar-
rels with the woman who is reputed to be his
wife; scuffle is heard on Monday morning,
some thirty-three hours after the murder had
been committed, the bruised body of the vic
tim is found in circumstances which leave
no doubt as to the cause of death; yet the
neighbors, Of whom there are many on the
same floor, and who must have heard all that
took place, remained all these hours in state
of utter Indifference to the terrible crime and
to the body of the murdered woman. This is
a terrible commentary on our tenement house
system. The worst rookeries in the worst
parts of the oldest cities in the world can
reveal nothing worse than what this tragedy
has brought to light. We have no desire to
PREJUDICE this case, but we cannot allow the
opportunity to pass without a distinct utter
ance condemnatory Of the tenement house
system. The worst forms Of savage life could
scarcely reveal more brutality; they certainly
could not reveal larger amount of callous
Indifference. Such case as this warrants us
to denounce tenement houses as dens of mi
putty.

THE WOMENs RIGHTS WOMEN AND THE
DEMOCRATIC CoNvENrIoN.-The Central Com
mittee of the Women's Suffrage Association of
America, consisting of Mrs. Horace Greeley,
Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Mrs. Abbey
Hopper Gibbons and Miss Susan B. Anthony,
have prepared a women's rights platform for
the coming National Democratic Convention.
This association was given the cold shoulder
and completely ignored by the radicals at Chi
cago, and the democrats have therefore a
splendid opportunity to take the wind out Of
the republican sails on "womanhood suf
frage" against manhood suffrage" and for
white women especially, as better qualified for

thousands Of black men just Rescued from the

Convention can turn the radical party out of

of at least the same political rights to white
women that Congress has given to Southern
niggers.

the delegates from the Southern States en-

Washington called at the White House to pay
their respects to the President, against which
there can be no objection. But 1t seems that
very few of them can leave the President with
out promising him the democratic nomination,
and that some of the time servers around him
affect to believe that johnson stock is rising,
and that he may, after all, be the coming man.
How many of these liberal minded Southern
delegates are in earnest In their promises will
soon appear, and we guess that after the Con-
vention Mr.. Johnson will feel at liberty to
brush away some of the noisiest of the swarm
of gadHes that surround him. Their time is
getting short.

OUR SOLDIERS GRAvEs-A PRINTING JOB
1t Is very pretty observance that the people
should decorate the soldiers graves, though,
as the thing was done this year, it was rather
too official and of set purpose. Such thing,
to have any value, should at least appear
pontaneous-should seem the ebullitiOn Of
natural sentiment. The ceremony would have
grown in that direction, however, If Congress
had not just taken step that will end in dis
gushing the people with the very name Of this
usage. 1t has founded upon it notorious
piece of jobbery, to be put into the printing
bill, in accepting Mr.. Logan's proposition to
print, ''for the use of Congress" all that has
been spoken and written on that subject.
There should at least have been some limit
made for this, so that the persons interested
shall not pocket more than one hundred
thousand dollars apiece.
