TABLES TURNED IN IRELAND.-Mr. Glad
stone has done great things for Ireland His
policy has, however, been directed rather in
the interest of the Catholics than of the Pro-
tesla ITS. His aim has been justice The
Catholics have given evidence that they are
satisfied with the dsestablishment measure.
The Churches in Ireland are now, one and all,
placed on an equal footing. But the Protest.
ants, 80 long pampered and spoiled, are up In
rebellion. They were good loyal people SO long
as they were the privileged class. Meetings
have been held in varions parts of Ireland
and the Professionals have denounced the discs
adjustment measure. The last meeting OF the
kind was held at Clones on Monday last, when
thirty thousand people assembled and
denounced the recent measures of the govern
ment. The tables are turned in Ireland. The
Orangemen, not the Catholics, are now the
disturbers Of the peace.

The William M. Tweed Democratic Assocla-
ton of the Seventh ward of this city, in cOun-
Gil on Friday evening last, resolved unani-
mously:-
First-That the democracy to get on In the world
must have new chairman OF the Democratic Ma
tional Executive COMMITTEES.
lSecOndiv-That Mr.. August Belmont, the present
chairman Is inefficient undevOted and unpopular.
Thfrdy--That his dearth OF capacity, lack Of pur.
pose Indifference as to results. and want OF accept
ability were the chief cause OF General McCellan's
defeat.
fouthy--And the chief cause Of the defeat Of ssJ.
mOur and Blair.
FynhIy-And that the dearth Of capacity, &C., of
August Belmont n continued in his present posi-
tiOn will be the defeat Of Hoffman in 1872 There
fore,
Sr,h,y--That Mr. Belmont be invited to retire, and
that Mr.. Tweed be recommended to take his place.
Upon these broad hints, we presume, Mr..
Belmont will retire, and Mr.. Tweed will be in
vited to take his place; and then, no doubt,
the big Indians of Tammany will proceed Ia
draw their circle around the democracy Of the
United States and to regulate the order Of the
Presidential succession and the spoils Thereof

Our indefatigable Paris fashions cores
pondent expatiates to-day on the now styles
at the European watering places-especially
at AK, the most frequented Of them all during
the present season-in manner which excites
the curiosity of those of us who in this
sweltering weather must resign ourselves to be
Gin populous city pent" as to whether any
similar display is visible at Newport, Long
Branch, Cape May, Saratoga or Nahant. We.
at least, feel sure that nothing like
the gooseberry green armor Of ''that
terrible man, Amedee de Savole W.,
whose surname was Green" is likely to be
exhibited by New York handles at any of our
watering places, although we might not fail to
see something green about them, notwith-
standing their sublime self suffciency. The
bridal dress of silver and tulle which is now
being made in Paris, at q cost Of thirty-two
thousand francs, for the Princess Louise Of
Sweden, will not, we hope, tempt our New
York bellies to exceed the extravaganza OF
bridal toilettes already attained by them. To

OF all the changes that have taken place in
France in the way Of reform the relaxation Oh
the Press law Of 1852, with lis odious system
of cOmmuniques, warnings, previous aLthori-
cation, stamp tax and caution money, Is one
of the most important Press prosecutions
are no longer of frequent occurrence as for
merly; and although the press is not yet free in
the sense in which we understand it,
still when we find M. Rochefort of Lonterne
notoriety, contributing in his own vein and
without molestatisn to journal decidedly
revolutionary in its principles we can under
stand the difference between the present and
past condition of French journalism. OF the
twenty six journals published in Paris six are
in favor of the imperial policy and dynasty
Ar support the dynasty, but find fault ocea-
sionally with the measures Of the administra-
ton, and four others are independent, being
understood to support no particular dynasty
or line of policy. The remaining twelve are
opposition journals in the widest sense of the
term, four being Bourbonist, three Orleanist,
three republican and two revolutionary. One
of these last is the Rappel, contributed to by
M. Rochefort.
If it be true, as the Parisisns are fond Of
boasting, that ''Paris is France" the politics
and circulation of the journals published there
may give us some data for speculation as to
French political sentiment, its depth and ten
dency. We find that In point Of circu-
lation the opposition and independent
journals greatly exceed the ministerial
list; result that might be expected
in Paris where opposition candidates for the
Corps Legislatif are invariably successful.
There is, however, one ministerialist journal
in Paris, the Psuple, which has attained the
third largest circulation in the city. 1t Is a
journal conducted with marked, though not
exceptional, ability, and owes its large circu-
lation, perhaps, as much to the fact OF its low
| price-beinp sold at one cent-as to the talent
| displayed in its columns. So far, indeed, as
literary ability goes, French journalism has Of
| late made remarkable Improvement, being
now often characterized by that caustic wit and
keen irony that Voltaire seems to have left as
a perpetual heirloom to the French nation.
| The number and ability Of the opposition
| journals show US In very strong light the
difficulties that beset the Emperors admins
tration. There is no doubt 1t requires the
most skilful craftsmanship to maintain the
throne itself against the opposition that
assails it from every side. One thing, how
ever, ia certain, that no gagging Of the press
will ever support an unpopular administration.
The true policy is that which the Emperor,
! yielding to the pressure Of the peoples repre-
sentatives, is about to inaugurate for France
a free press and = responsible ministry. JEFF
PERSONS dictum, that ''error ceases to be dan
gerous when reason is free to combat 1t, Ii
the maxim to which emperors and kings mus
hereafter submit in all that concerns the fret
expression of political opinion.

THE CAMPAIGN IN PENNSYLVANIA. One Of
the radical papers In Pennsylvania sneers at
the idea that Asa Packer should be the
workingmen's candidate for Governor, and
exultingly asks, ''Who chucked him into the
Lehigh riverp" There 10 a game down South
they call chuck a-uck, and who knows but
Packer may have been "ohucked" into the
river merely for good luck? IL is, however,
something like the method the Brahmin
under the wheels of the car of Juggernaut in
order that they may be crushed the sooner
into glory, and Packer may think, with the
Brabmip babies, that it is hardly worth while
to go through so much to get 80 little glory.

tNoREAsE OF FREIGHT ON FLOUR. We
notice that convention Of freight agents con-
nected with Western railroads, which met in
Cincinnati on Friday, decided to advance the
freight on -four going east ten cents bar
rel Is it because the harvest is abundant and
the working people may have chance to get
cheap bread that these railroad men decide to
raise the price of carriage on -four from the
luxurious grain fields of the West? These
combinations of spectators, whether of rail-
road men interested in the grain or the coal
business, require to be looked after, and per-
haps the only way to meet them and defeat
their schemes is by counter combination on
the part of the people. There is no reason
why the freight on -four should be advanced
any more than that the price Of coal should be
raised to an exorbitant and unprecedented
figure. The advances In both cases are mere
pretexts for dishonest speculation.

Tho Proposed Exposition Of Christian Ar
as Rome.

The Proposed Exposition Of Christian Art
We are informed by telegram that Plus TX.
has decided to hold universal exhibition of
Christian art next year at Rome, prior to
the return of the various prelates to their
homes, after the Ecumenicai Council No
intimation whatever has yet been given as
to the nature of this exhibition. We are
not told whether it is to be one showing the
progress Of Christian art on grander scale
than the collection which our old friend Bryan
brought over to this country some years ago,
comprising, with many absurd daubs, several
characteristic works of a certain historical
value-a progress from the naive symbolism of
early Christianity. Through its development
in the medieval ages, and its gradual admir-
ture with "reminiscences of Pagan art, where,
after the Renaissance, Apostles and Saints
were represented like the deities Of Olympus,
down to these modern times, when, influenced
more by the sCepticism and rationalism of the
day than by the pure faith and unquestioning
obedience Of early times, art has become
boCuiurlDcu, cuIIohuoAihS sho o0voAAV gnu
symmetric simplicity" of former age, aud,
after three centuries of steady decline, seems
to verge on extinction. Even Flandrin, as
we'll as the English Herbert and the German
Kaulbach, makes compromise between the
religious art Of Italy IN the fifteenth and six
teenth centuries and the secular or quasi-classi
cal art of France, England and Germany in
this age, in obedience to its rationalistic spirit
from which an eminent critic declares that no
one can escape by any process short Of mental
suicide Nor are we told whether it is to be q
collection to which all the sOvereigns Of Europe
will be invited to contribute the best religious
paintings in their private or national galleries,
or whether artists throughout the world are to
be invited, at such short notice, to attempt the
almost impossible task of reviving Christian
art.
At all events it is noteworthy fact that
the head of the Church of Rome is 80 far
afflicted by the modern influences which have
resulted at London, Paris, New York and
other great capitals in exhibitions Of science
and industry as to propose similar universal
exhibition of Christian art Plus TX. will carr
the gratitude of the entire Christian world i
this exhibition shall in any measure restore to
architecture, sculpture and painting the sin
cerity, purity, enthusiasm and power which
! characterized art during the ages Of faith.

Tho National LaS0r Comyross ana lts
Platform.
The National Labor Congress, which has
been in session during the past week IN
Philadelphia, adopted a series of resolutions
as their future platform. We shall briefly
recapitulate some of them, as they may at
no distant day form the nucleus of new politi-
cal party. The first resolution condemns the
present national banking system as one inau-
gurated in time of war and now perpetuated
for the interest of bondholders and bankers,
and in connection with this subject the high
rate of interest is declared to be an injury to
commerce. A uniform money legal tender,
payable on all debts, public and private, is
strongly recommended, while the payment Of
gold to bondholders who themselves paid the
principal in greenbacks is as strongly
denounced. Land monopolies are described
as necessarily subversive of freedom. The
universal adoption of the eight hour move
ment, as adopted in government works, is
an important feature in the programme The
concession that women are entitled to the same
pay as men for work equally well done, q
demand for department of labor, looking
after the interests of working men aud form
ing permanent Office in our executive admin
istration, and the right Of all men, irrespective
of color, to equal civil rights and privileges,
make up the remaining resolutions that seem
deserving OF special notice. An amendment
was suggested that nothing said on the green
back question should be understood as favor
ing reputation; but it was answered that they
wanted no bnncombe or clapsrap inserted to
propitiate capitalists, and therefore the amend
ment was rejected.
In this National Labor Congress we have
the elements of what might become power
full political party, neither republican nor demo
cratic, but having some points in common with
both. In their conceding equal rights to al
irrespective Of color, and in their well known
advocacy of protection we find them on the
same political platform as Mr.. Greeley, while
their resolutions on banking and the payment
OF bonds in greenbacks are such as will be
approved of throughout the country by ar
overwhelming majority of democrats. W.
expect that on both sides there will be plenty
of trimming and hedging on the part of know
ing odice-seekers to catch the votes of these
sturdy working men, who, with all their abhor
renee of buncombe and claptrap, need no
hope to escape the usual in6i ction. But how
or to what extent this new platform Of their
may change the relations of our two grea
political parties it is as yet too soon to antioi
pate.

THE REMEDY WORSE THAN THE DISEASE. -
The Albany Eoen'ng Journal, referring to the
proposition TO send Ben Butler 10 the United
States Senate as an Offset to Andy Johnson,
says it "dreads the remedy more than the
disease" The Springfield Republican is the
same way Of thinking. The case was differ
ent when Butler was the great Impeacber and
Johnson the great Impeached. 1t is singular
how these radical fellows are beginning TO smile
around Andy Johnsons skirts again.

Tho Insratitude Of sambo.

The Macon (Ga.) Telegraph publishes q
letter from Northern lady in Southwestern
Georgia, engaged under the auspices of .
Northern society in instructlng the negroes Of
that section. She writes for the purpose Of
oondoling with q certain white champion Of the
negroes for their base ingratitude 70 him
when the time came TO test their fidelity. She
recites her own case, showing that after the
Northern society agreed to pay her salary
her board was to be paid by the patrons
(parents y who sent their children to school.
but that they failed to do so, and that she
would have been turned out Of doors BY her
landlady had she not paid her board herself.
She says the negroes are profuse in words,
make any amount of fine promises, but never
think of fulfilling them. This is queer case.
The idea that Yankee schoolmarm should
have to complain of the ingratitude Of Sambo
is certainly very curious after the atmosphere
of the North has for so many years been Over-
burdened with the clamor Of the abolitions
lists about the unspeakable gratitude of the
Southern negroes to their Northern Worship
pers. Sambo, Sambo! my son-as Wendell
Phillips would say-deal more fairly by your
Yankee schoolmarms, or your young idea viii
never be taught to shoot.

The Water Famine In Philadelphia

''Water, water everywhere, and not drop to
drink is not exactly true of the condition Of
Philadelphia just now for although the beauti-
full Sohuylkill and heretofore plenteous Della
ware flow by the doors Of the Quaker City it
seems that their beds have run nearly dry, and
the inhabitants are in danger Of suffering in
consequence. Many Of the factories have been
compelled to cease work, and thousands of
operatives may thus be thrown out Of employ
ment. The attempt to obtain water by open
ing up old wells does not seem to be a success.
AS yet private houses have not been deprived
of the luxurious necessity Of fresh water, but
they may be If the drought continues and If
the closest economy is not practised in the use
of water supplied from Fairmount and the
Delaware and Spring Garden works. One thou
sand Eve hundred millions Of gallons Of water
were pumped from the rivers for the use Of
Philadelphia last month
Although we may be better off here in the
supply of water than our neighbors in Phila-
delphia, little wholesome economy in the use
of our Croton and Ridgewood supplies may
not be out of place in this dry, hot season.
Above all things waste of water should be
avoided. The ancient proverb says that Evil
full waste makes woeful want"
