HE Observation-Disclosures of the Irish Church
mas thrown it, to great extent, upon its own
resources, and its members have been aroused
to the necessity for greater exertion on their
part, if they expect even to maintain their
own. That the present state of affairs will
be of real benefit to the Church, and calcu-
lated to advance its spiritual welfare, can
scarcely be doubted. Hitherto the Irish
Church has been stagnant; its clergy have had
no incentives to real work, and, with immense
wealth at their command and the whole power
and influence of the State to back them they
have been content TO enjoy their sinecures
and to leave the real interests of the religion
they profess to take care of themselves. 1t is
one of the greatest scandals connected with
the Irish Church that, with all the power and
influence of enormous wealth, 1t has made no
impression whatever on the people of the
country, while the Catholic clergy, poor and
often shamefully oppressed, have beaten them
at all points Largely subsidized as the Irish
Church now is, it must make an advance now
or it will gradually fade out of sight; and the
clergy have therefore taken the first
necessary step by endeavoring to secure
the active cooperation of the laity for
in the Irish as in the English Church
the laity have hitherto been denied
any voice in deciding upon questions of
doctrine or discipline. The cable informs
us, however, that at large meeting held in
Dublin on Thursday, over which Archbishop
Trench presided, it was decided by a large
majority that laymen had a right to voice
and vote in these matters. In this respect
the Irish Church is but following the exam
pie set by the Episcopal Church in the
United States, and the admission of the laity to
seats in the conventions will have a tendency
to make them something more than mere
passive supporters of the clergy.

IT Is reported that proposition is on foot
to return to the Orleans family their confs-
Gated property in France, and that law to
annul the decree of 1852 will be introduced
at the next session of the Corps Legislatif.
We are not informed whether the Emperor is
the prime mover in this matter, but it is more
than probable that he is; and, while it is
better late than never, it would have been
much more to his credit if he had allowed his
generosity to influence him some years ago.
All the members of the House OF Orleans
are, we believe, in comfortable clrcum-
stances, old Louis Philippe, in particular,
having taken pains to lay up something
against rainy day, and place it out OF the
reach of danger-a practice that has been imi-
tated by many of the monarchs of Europe,
and not improbably by the Emperor Napo-
leon himself. There is no Just reason, how.
ever, because the Orleans family have been
driven from the throne of France, that they

MS their errors and faults were not such as to
make them legitimate objects of malignant

Perhaps the Emperor is influenced in this
matter by a premonition of the fate that is
awaiting his own family, and he is anxious to
set good example that others will perhaps
initiate in his own case.

He took the tongs, and presently
flung into the middle OF the room a
small oilskin packet. This, as 1t lay on
the ground, they both eyed like two

oilskin is not preternatural, nor has

Consequently, a great revulsion took
place in Nancy, and she passed from

She ran to the fireplace, and, putting

Reduction of 1he Army.

The struggle in the House of Repre-
sentatives over the question of reducing
the army has been very sharp and
protracted, and at one time it looked as
if. General Buffers scheme might be
carried. He did in fact carry it by one
majority Thursday night, when only
one hundred and thirteen members
were present, but next day with full
attendance he was defeated, and Mr..
Blaine's proposition was adopted by
one hundred and eleven to sixty-four,
This, in its essential parts, is not widely
different from that introduced by Mr.,
Dodge, of Iowa, which Butler over
threw. 1t looks to permanent force
OF twenty regiments of Infantry and
five each of artillery and cavalry, and
provides that the work of reduction
shall be at the pleasure OF the President.
Gen, Grant says Mr.. Blaine's PROPOSE
ton goes about as far as he thinks
Congress ought to go at present. He
SAYS no enlistments have been
made aud no new commissions
issued for six or eight months,
and that whether any plan OF
reduction becomes law or not, no in
crease in the force will take place, but
the present policy of decrease by alb
sorption will be continued during his
administration. He hopes by this pro.
cess, and by accepting designations and
by ordering discharges to reduce the
army by the time Congress meets next
winter to twenty-five thousand infan-
try, and thinks that these, with recon-
struction practically accomplished, and
better state of affairs in the Indian
country, Congress may take hold of the
matter and put our military service on
strictly peace footing. He Is decid.
edly opposed to any such arbitrary and
peremptory reduction as Buffers pro-
position contemplated. and his inau-
ence would doubtless secure favorable
action from the Senate upon the Dodge
Blaine amendment or something OF q
similar character. The army bill
originally appropriated forty-three
million dollars. 1t is believed the
amount is safely reduced to about
thirty-four millions.

column and half OF suggestions to the
Legislature on it and makes some sem
sible and important points. By accept
ing the liberal offer ofthe city OF Wheel.
Ing to furnish the State buildings for
ten years free Of cost, would surely
give time for Improvements to be more
developed throughout the State, and
which are now hidden. The location
then might be more wisely made. The
people generally desire the capital to
be placed near the center of the State,
but this seems impractible at present
hence the propiety of postponing the
decision. At present, however. Park

candidnto.-RGUcnS NcWS.

We now suggest that the Capital OF
West Virginia be located In the great
State of Ohio, a few miles back of Belpre,
where it would be surrounded by one
of the prettiest sections of the country
| West OF the Alleghanies. This course
would save that State the Extra trouble
of building u bridge across tho ohio
River, and 1t might also increase the
value OF lands in Athens, Meigs, and
other counties as we'll as Washington.
Then too, it would relieve the State of
| West Virginia of the gre at and heavy
burden of erecting its State buildings
which is an item to be taken into the
account. And that State, which
has enjoyed go many advan-
tages heretofore, will in this
way be conducted to further
greatness. AS to the interior Of West
| Virginia it is not worth any thing, and
1t is useless to attempt any improve.
ment in it. Let 1t go to the moies and
bats, where it ought to have gone long
ago. And we further suggest that the
State of West Virginia shall embrace
the Western Panhandle and Parkers-
burg, and that the Capital thereof shall
either be at Belpre Ohio. or on the
steamer New State, and that all the
remaining portion of West Virginia
shall form one grand State, to be known
as Central Virginia, and Clnrksburg be
the Capital thereof, and that some dis
