The letters from the Superior of the Car
melites to Father Hyacinthe, which we publish
this morning, do not indicate the precise char
acter of the utterances by which the eloquent
preacher incurred the displeasure of his order,
but they leave no doubt of his present attitude
toward the Church of which he has been such
distinguished member. 1t seems that there
has been no actual interference with his
preaching, and no formal complaint that in the
pulpit at any rate he was at all heterodox.
But he has repeatedly been found
fault with during the past five years
for letters, addresses &C., to political and
other clubs, and as remonstrance seems to have
had no effect the General of the Carmeites at
last forbade him to publish any letters or dis
courses, to deliver any address except in
church, or to take part in any meeting not
strictly religious and Catholic. 1t was on re-
ceipt of this order that Father Hyacinthe de-
termined to leave the convent, and wrote the
letter which has caused so much stir. OF
course we do not question his declaration that
conscience would not allow him to keep silence.
nor do we suppose it is quite true that the
liberal tendency of his preaching was entirely
satisfactory to the powers at Rome. Still he

and must therefore see the logical consequence
of the step he has taken. The sentence OF
the Church upon monk who breaks his vows
is swift and sharp. Father Hyacinthe cannot
expect to reconcile his present attitude with
the calling of Roman Catholic priest. Ex-
communication is not threatened it is already
ipso fdcto incurred. Rome recognizes him no
longer, and we may receive him at once as a
Protestant Such he is, in fact, though he may
not yet be ready to avow the title.

DIR CITY.

This City contains about $4,000 Voters,
whereof $4,000 at most can be brought to the
polls by the strong excitement of q Presiden-
tial contest; while the number who will vote
in all ordinary elections varies from $4,000 to
100000. A great many are habitually absent
on business as navIgatOrs, commercial agents,
&C., &C., large class either refuse to vote
altogether or are with difficulty drawn
to the polls on some special Occa-
sion; but then we have thousands regularly
voting who are disqualified by alienage or fell
Ony, and large class of these are habitually
subOrned by our misrulers to vote from ten to
twenty times at an election. They are paid per
vote for all they poll, and q trusty agent ac-
companies them from poll to poll to see that
they do not cheat their employers. Some of
them make from $50 to 800 at each important
election, at the cost of a dozen perjuries, more
or less, and an arrest very rarely. AS to
punishment they laugh at the idea,
knowing that the magistrates who must
try and sentence them are the cronies of their
employers, and share the profit of their vii
lainy. Judges who issue Naturalization Certif-
Gates by the ream, on the afidavits of wit
nesses who swear that they have severaly
known the five or six hundred applicants for
naturalization two years, that they are men Of
good moral character, &C., &C., will never con-
vict "repeaters," and right well they know it.
The dogs who should protect the sheep are
wolves, and there is no help for it.
The Republicans must protect their own
rights, In defiance of official power. Our diff
Guilty is that very few Republicans are voters
in the districts where the most gigantic frauds
are perpetrated. The lower Wards of our City
have very few Republican residents; their polls
are surrounded by Democratic mob of hard
customers from morning till night vote-ds-
tributOrs and even challengers are wanting on
our side; and the rOughs have 1t all their own
way.
We need for the coming election a we'll
differed organization of three or four thousand
Republican volunteers who will agree to give
the day to the work. and spend it exactly
where they are most wanted. These should,
on the Saturday night previous, be told off to
their respective stations, and pledged to reach
them as early as possible after they shall have
had chance to vote at their respective polls.
With ten such men at each poll In the Wards

from district to district to spot the
men who, after voting at one poll, offer to vote
at another we can reduce the Democratic ma

just half the fraudulent majority rolled up
against Gen. Grant.

organization perfected In season for the election

The news from Paraguay that Lopez has
established a new line of defense, and still
holds his enemies at bay agrees very well
with what our special correspondent has from
time to time written us of the extent of the
Dictator's resources and the obstinacy of his
people, 1t seems probable that the flourish Of
trumpets with which Count d'Eu announced
complete and final triumph of the Allies was a
bit of braggadocio intended to cover his retire.

have long been weary, and that Lopez is in
fair way to tire out his antagonists in the
mountains. though he cannot beat them in the
open field. We shall watch the performances

with curiosity; though we believe there are no
longer any American interests to be affected
by the fate of the unfortunate republic.

Three famous radicals of France have sud-
denly appeared In London, and the world is
asking whyf Certainly not because they want
holiday, or that London is the best place for
enjoying it; certainly not because NJ. Jules
Favre is too bloodthirsty Red Republican,
for he lately said good word for Napoleon
and declared for peace. His colleagues, Messrs.
Bancel and Gambetta, are, however, radicals
of loudest tone and deepest dye. Their exodus
with the celebrated Jules Favre should have
extreme political significance. We presume
that Messrs Fayre. Gambetta, and Bancel were
among the seven radicals who lately met to
protest against the unconstitutionality of the
Emperor's non-convocation of the Corps Leg

A UOPD TO PENNSYLVANIA.

Tn three-fourths of the Counties OF Pennsyl-
vania. the Republican vote fell off, and our ma
jority was less than at the State Election Oh
1868; in Luzerne, Schuylkill, Wayne, and most
of the Anthracite Counties, the result was dit-
ferent. The men who dig Coal have had trou-
BILE the past season--they have felt the heavy
hand of Powerfully have been constrained 10
make stand for what they deemed their
rights-and they mot all, but goodly share
of them) have been led to discriminate sharply
between their friends and their foes. They
know little of Gov. Geary, who lives far away
but they know Asa Packer-know now nc
made his Twenty Millions-and they could not
feel that he was their man. Hence the re-
suit.
Those miners are going to Harrisburg this
Winter to ask for the enactment or m0dnca-
ton of laws so as to give them chance 10
live. They object to being forced into caverns
where they have no choice but to lie down
and be roasted aliye-they mean to see
whether Capital is every thing, Labor nothing,
In the estimation of their lawmakers they
mean to ask for such legislation as will enable
them to live in comfort and rear their children
to be virtuous, intelligent, useful citizens.
Perhaps thoy will ask more than is just if
40. we trust it will be refused. We believe IN
government of the people, by the people, tor
" the people,n and not in the domination of
any class, however numerous or capable. An
oligarchy of miners or of hod carriers would be
lust as selfish, just as oppressive, as an
oligarchy of bankers or of lawyers. We would
concede every thing to justice. nothing to
threats or to numbers, whatever the cost.
D.. n,,tn la mia a
has been, we volunteer the warning that 1t
,con't do for the legislators soon to assemble
at Harrisburg to earn the money OF
the great Mining and Transportation Compa-
mics as their predecessors have done. Were
they to do so, they would not merely make
shipwreck of the Republican ascendancy in
their own State they would render themselves
infamous from Maine to Oregon.
The urgency Of the case renders plain speak
ing imperative. The miners must have justice )
and they will not pay cent for It, Ihey
must be treated as well as if they had Mil
lions, and were ready to pour them out like
water. In short, the usages and traditions
of Pennsylvania legislation must at least
for this occasion, DO wholly overcome.
And, on behalf Of the Republicans Of the
Union, who cannot afford and will not consent
to see the keystone of our arch knocked out,
we suggest to Gen. Simon Cameron that we
look to him to see that this is done. lie
knows by experience what Labor is; he has
the reputation of being its friend and cham
pon. Ii will be q grave misfortune TO him.

We have already remarked upon a sort of
wholesome fear which is leading factions more
or less powerful of the Democracy of this city
to protest against the sort of nominations for
the judiciary which Tammany has heretofore
had the effrontery to put forward. The DEM

utters its testimony against McCunn, and names
as his opponent for the Superior Court Gen.

significant. Mcmahon has good war record,
and was honest and efficient two or three years

we made on Saturday to the
effect that in private life he was
undoubtedly gentleman of taste. 1t is to be
regretted, however, that his sense of duty TO
the Blonde Burlesquers has led him to
write so much that is susceptible of
being misunderstood. Fortunately for HIM
self he has not been frequent attendant
at their performances, or he would not be puz-
zled at the change of tone adopted toward
them by the press. The very simple explana-
ton is, that at first the exhibitions were not
conspcuously offensive. They became so by
degrees

Mr.. Terence Farley is the Tammany Ring
candidate for Senator in the IXth uptown
district, now Harry Genets. We apprehended
this. Genet has mind of his own, and some
times votes differently from Tweed, who wants
none but the most seryile followers. Hence
the new deal.
Terence Farley has been about the City Hall
for fifteen or twenty years, and has accumu-
lated large fOrtune-not less than S5OoOoo.
Every dime of this, with rs much more that
he has spent, came out of the taxpayers OF
our City. Jobs, contracts, allowances, and
Aldermanc pickings, account for every shilling
of it. To expect such man to try to save
the public money otherwise than in his own
private pocket book to vote to reduce salaries.
abolish sinecures or reform gainful abuses OF
any kind, would be to look for figs from
thorns or grapes from thistles. Terry could MT
be q reformer If he tried; and he is certain
not to try. If the taxpayers send tbs man
to the Senate then they will deserve to be
skinned, as they surely will be.

The Tammany candidate for Senator in the
