A REMARKABLE INIDCENT-The fol-
lowing remarkable statement is from the
Albany Kuickerbocker. The writer is .
member Of the Catholic church, and
therefore knows whereof he speaks:
We had hitherto believed in its being q
settled principle in the Catholic church
to discountenance and oppose the forma-
ton of secret oath bound societies, and to
denounce men publicly, when neoessesy: !:
that from adhering members Of the 4a-
sonic fraternity, and Odd Fellows, the
sacraments of the Church were withheld

peers cannot yield without
making a show of resistance;
but if the commons act with
frmness, and yet without any
unnecessary violence, they will
have an opportunity ofyielding
gracefully, and without in any
way compromising their digni-
ty. They possibly may nomi-
nally insist on their amend
ments in order to bring about
conference between the two
Houses, in which they can
abandon their position, accord
ing to formal constitutional
etiquette; but that will be all
There is no real occasion for
popular agitation. Every sue
cessive triumph Of popular
principles in the House of Com
mons, aristocratic as it's COM
position still is, tends at once
to increase the solid power of
the chamber, and consequently
to moderate the popular feeling
against the upper House. The
Lords must yield if the Com
mons are firm, and although
there may be some little out
door clamor, both the Commons
and the Liberal party at large
are now too well assured of
their power and an easy tri-
umph for their measures to care
about unnecessarily hunilating
them if they only have the
wisdom to yield with good
grace. New York Times.

whom did we look to fetch it !?
The Reliable Contraband. -
When we needed any sort of
description or subject, who was
it that stood always ready to
steal a horse and bring that
news along? The reliable Con-
traband.
My friends, he was the faith,
fullest vassal that ever ought,
bled, and died, in the glorious
ranks of journalism Thun-
der and lightning never stop
ped him; annihilated railroads
never delayed him; the tele-
graph never overlook him;
military secrecy never crippled
his knowledge; strategic feints
never confused his judgment;
cannon balls could mt kill him;
clairvoyance couldn't find him,
Satan himself couldn't catch
him. His information COM
prised all knowledge, possible
and impossible; his magma
ton was utterly boundless; his
capacity to make mighty state
ments, and to back them up so
as to make an inch of truth
cover an acre of ground, with
out appearing to stretch or tear
was a thing that appalled, even
the most unimpressible with it's
awful grandeur.
The Reliable Contraband is
no more ! Born Of the war
and q necessity Of the war, and
of the war only, he watched it's
progress, took notes of it's sue
cesses and reverses, manufac-
tured and recorded the most
thrilling features Of it's daily
history, and then, when it
died, his great mission was fl
led, his occupation was gone,
and he died likewise.
No journalist here can lay
his hand upon his heart and
say he had not cause to love
this faithful creature, over
whose unsentient form we drop
these unavailing tears--for no
journalist among us all can lay
his hand upon his heart and
say he never lied with such
pathos, such JUNCTION, such ex-
quisite symmetry, such sub
Unity of conception, and such
felicity of execution as when he
did it through an by the in
spiration Of this really gifted
marvel of mendacity, the Ia
mented Reliable Contraband.
Peace to his ashes

The Threatened Conflict. -
Neither the Gladstone Cabi-
net nor the people of England
has lost any time in making a
firm stand against the attempt
of the Lords to override the re-
iterated verdict of the House of
Commons with regard to the
disendownment of the irish
Church. A special Cabinet
Council has been held in order
to determine upon the line of
action to be taken, and it was
finally decided that the more
important amendments made
in the bill should be strenuous
ly opposed in the House of
Commons. According to the
ordinary course of procedure in
such cases the bill will be re-
turned to the lower House for
consideration of the Lords
amendments, and division will
be taken-probably without
much debate-as to whether
that House will accept them or
insist upon retaining the origi-
nal clauses in their integrity.
There can be little doubt as to
the result, now that the Minis
terial policy has been decided
upon.
Lords Clarendon, Granville,
and Harrington, representa-
tives of the old aristocratic
Wing element in the Cabinet,
are said to have counselcd a
compromise, but they were
overruled by the majority.
They could undoubtedly in
fuence, if so minded, a large
section of the Liberty party;
but they are pretty certain to
acquiesce in the policy resolved
upon by their colleagues rather
than endanger a schism in their
party, more especially as men
like the High Church Lord
Hatherly and the powerful
Duke Of Argyle are on the side
OF the Commons, as well as
Mr., Gladstone and the radical
John Bright, The proposal
to retain the original olsen
downment clauses will be sup
ported by the whole strength
of the ministerialists, and he
will be a bold peer who dares
to move that the upper House
should insist on its amend
ments.
There will be q conflict, be-
yond a question, but we do not
anticipate that it will either
be prolonged or serious. The

A recent discovery in the De

"A recent discovery IN the De-
partment de la Dordague,
France, of human skeletons
coeval with the mammoths, and
undeniably appertaining to the
earliest quartenary period, pre-
sents features Of such unusual
interest that the French Gov
eminent have sent M. Lartet,
the distinguished pal@ontolo-
gist, to make a report on the
subject. He reports that the
bones Of five skeletons have
been discovered, and that they
belong to some gigantic race
whose limbs, both in size and
form, must have resenbled
those of the gorilla. But a
simian origin of man must not
be inferred from these analo-
gies, as the skulls, of which
only three are perfect, afford
testimony fatal to this theory,
having evidently contained
very volumnious brains. The
skulls are now in the hands of
committee of sayants, who are
preparing An exhaustive crani-
illogical report.

The University.-A profess

day it YVES known that Wells
was defeated, orders poured in
for roc rs at the University,
and, when he left the institu-
ton, ll5 rooms had been en-
gagged by students for next ses-
sion-a larger number than is
usual at that date.
The defeat of Walker would
have been the death-knell to
this great institution of learn

peculiar friends were the most
active workers we encountered
anywhere in Virginia during

"A Richmond letter Of, Saturday last says:
sSTne passenger train on the Richmond, Freder-
icksburg and Potomac Railroad, which has OF
late rarely exceeded two coaches, consisted on
the 26th or seven well packed coaches, and the
same remarkable movement South the previous
day taxed the capacity Of the Chesapeake anu
Ohio Railroad train to its utmost. The move
ment OF the negroes to the far South, under Tue
inducements OF more genial cline and ngh
wages, is assuming large proportions ana IL Ii
increases in the same ratio till next summer tne
Wells faction in Virginia will then have complete

country is gravltating to the localities 1t Is oest

A Rival Telegraph Line.

The fact that the telegraphs OF the entire
South are controlled exclusively by single
overgrown and greedy corporation has, ever
since the close of the war, been an lntolera-
BILE incubus, not only upon newspaper enter
prise, but upon the general business OF the
community, which has come, nowadays, TO
depend largely upon the free and frequent
use of the wires. 1t was with pleasure,
therefore, that we met yesterday Col. e. ID.
Ellery the energetic President OF the FRANK
lin (opposition) Telegraph Company who
comes South With view OF inducing our
people to cooperate in the construction OF a
rival telegraph line along the seaooard' from
Washington to New Orleans. The Franklin
COMPANY has already its network OF tele-
-praphs in full and successful operation all
over the North, and by combination with
the French Cable Company, it has inaugu-
rated an effective opposition to the western
Union Company, the result OF which has
already been material reduction OF tolls,
all round. AS soon as the Southern con-
nections of the Franklin Company are estao-
lished, its competitive powers will be COM
plete and the Southern public may share IN
the benefits which have already resulted
from its operations at the North. Col. Ellery
informs us that half the capital required to
construct the new seaboard line has already
been subscribed in Philadelphia; and we
wish him speedy success in raising the re-

MRS. srowE's disgusting slander OF the
dead is at last efectually refuted BY the pro-
duction of the letters from Lady Byron to
Mrs. Leigh, which we publish to-day. The
New York Tribune, which can hardly be
accused of any harshness of feeling or preju-
dice against the author Of Uncle Toms
Cabin, gives its conclusions in the following
emphatic sentence: "We can imagine only
zone kind of evidence capable of upsetting

..fair to presume, Mls. Stowe cannot pro-
.duce, or we should have heard Of it long

shall be national and not LEGAL. In regard
to these most important subjects the West
and the South are not far apart. And they
are coming nearer together. Their union is
a necessity. And the commercial conven-
tions and political overtures, which the
Northern papers now affect to sneer at, are
preparing the way for it. If they have not
restored the broken limb to its former integg-
rity, they are the knitting of the bone.
