Bill Read . Third Time and Passed.
On Monday evening the Irish Church bill
was read a third time in the House of Lords
and passed. 1t will be seen from our cable
news that the debate was more than usually
stormy. 1t must indeed have been one of the
the Lords has Seen in many long year.
There was eloquence-the eloquence of those
who look to the opening future and of those
who look back and lean upon the dying past
the eloquence Of hope and the eloquence of
despair. The aged Earl of Derby, once
known as the Rupert of Debate-a foeman
who has crossed swords with Canning, with
Brougham, and with most of the great
Parliamentary champions in three genera
tons, seems to have spoken with but little
of his earlier energy and power. Like
baron of the Olden time, and like the old
French guardsman, his words in this life and
death struggle were "No surrender" Find
ing his cause hopeless, and still unwilling to
yield he announced his intention to protest
against the passing of the bill, and when the
was formally presented. The first fight Of the
evening was on the question whether or no
the Irish Bishops should retain their seats in
the House. 1t was keenly c0ntended that
they should, but when it came to division it
was carried by a majority Of one hundred and
eighty against eighty-two that they should
not. The next great fight was on the ques-
ton of concurrent endOwment-that is, that
the money obtained from the sale of the
church property be used for the purpose
of equally endowing Catholics, Presbyte-
rians and Episcopalians. On this question
the whole weight of Earl Russell was
thrown in the scale against his an
cient friends, and when it came to
a division it was found that the principle of
concurrent endowment was carried by
majority Of seven. The bill was then passed.
Having now been carried through the House
of Lords, the bill in its amended form will be
carried down to the Commons. How will the
Commons act is now the great question. We
have no idea that the decision come to by tn g
Cabinet on Saturday will be departed from.
Disendowment in fact-as well in fact as
in name-must be complete. Concurrent en-
dowment is opposed to the fundamental princi-
pie of the bill. On this point, therefore, we
may expect a further fight The decision Of
the Lords on this particular question is simply
absurd. The Catholics have again and again
said they do not want endowment. The Earl
of Dunraven on Monday evening, speaking in
their name, very properly said that concurrent
endowment meant not disestablishment and
disendowment, but disestablishment aud re-
endowment Even Lord Cairns, the Tory
leader, could not agree to such an arrange
ment, believing as he did that indscriminate
endowment was unsuted to Ireland. We shall
now have lively times in the House of Com
mons.

TENEMENT HOUSE NUIsANOEs. The graphic
description of the filthy, ill-ventilated, dan
gerous and overcrowded tenement houses
of New York which we published yes
terday is but continuation Of our efforts
for many years past to have these hor-
rible nuisances abated. The whole commu-
nifty is deeply interested in this object, mas
much as the pestilence which is born and bred
in these dreadful sinks Of poverty and crime
may at any given moment rise with giant
strength and fury and stalk through the
town, staying thousands of every class. We
again invoke the expression of public sent-
ment in condemnation of the heartlessness of
avaricious landlords and the culpable negli-
gence of the authorities specially charged
with the duty of enforcing the laws, which
require that all our houses-tenement houses
included-shall be properly built and ven
tilated and provided with means of escape
from fire. 1t is inexcusable that in any city
in this country the poor should be exposed
to the evils which are the reproach of Londen
and other centres Of dense population in
Europe.

Mr. VAN DYcK ALL RIGHT.-In counting
up the money turned over to General Butter
field, the new Assistant Treasurer, from Mr..
Van Dyck, late Assistant Treasurer Of the
United States for the Sub-Treasury of this city
(nearly one hundred and three millions in
gold coin, gold ngcts, silver and nickel coin
and paper money!, il has turned out all right to
a penny in the tally between the actual cash on
hand and the books. This is sufficient honor
to Mr.. Van Dyck for lifetime and longer
too, and we expect the same report IN his turn
In honor of General Butter6eld.

Mr.. FIsK's TwENTY-THIRD STREET CABS
We profess to be the most addicted to travel
ling of any nation in the world, and when we
do not travel on business we travel on plea
sure, especially at this season of the year.
Foreseeing the requirements and studying the
comforts of travelling public, Mr.. James
Fisk, Jr., has taken step that cannot fail to
be duly appreciated by all. The new cabs, or
stages, running between Fifth avenue and
the Twenty-third street ferry are boon to
the public, and the new feature of taking pas
sengers free of all charge will doubtless secure
considerable patronage. Mr.. Fisk has proved
that he studies the wants Of the public in
more instances than one, and on our onward
march Of progress we want such men, and it
were advisable if other managers Of public
enterprises were to follow his example.

SBRv1A AwAKINo.--The little principality
Of Servia, which recently had her prince assas-
sinated, has not been killed by the blow. II
seems rather to have been awakened into
newness Of life. Some few days ago we
learned that the project Of the new consttu-
ton had been completed. The constitution,
we were told, contemplated the equality of citi-
zens, ministerial responsibility, liberty of the
press, independence of judges and autonomy
Of the Legislative Chamber. We are now told
that the first Of those reforms has been pro-
mulgated by the government. This is good
for Servia. It shows us that reform, with
firm and vigorous step, is marching eastward.

A VERY GLOOMY PRosPECT.-The late Vice
President of the late Southern confederacy
has written another letter on the awful situa-
ton of the constitution and all that, in which
he says :-''There is no hope for this country
but in thorough reputation of the whole
principle upon which the late war was inaugu-
rated and waged against the Southern States"
We thought he would come to this at last.
You may break you may scatter the II you will,
But the scent OF secession will hang round 1t still.

THE STATEN ISLAND HORROR. The extra
ordinary double tragedy at Staten Island,
which yesterday shocked our communicable
murder Of young girl, Of eleven years, and
the snioide Of her murderer-appears to have
resulted from at Of delrism tremens. This
Staten Island horror is more impressive and,
we hope, more efectual warning against in
temperance than the most eloquent lectures of
Cough and all the prohibitory liquor laws Of
Maine and Massachusetts

THE WAR IN PARAGUAY.-By way Of Lis
bon and through the Atlantic cable we have
brief telegram purporting to report the pro-
gress of the war in South America to the 10th
of June. The dispatches state that the Con-
federate allies had fought decisive battle
with and achieved complete victory over the
Paraguayan army. This is not, as will be
seen, asserted positively, but said to have been
reported" as news at Rio previous to the de-
parture of the mail 1t must consequently be
taken cum grano sails, awaiting our special
correspondence in detail at that port. We re-
collect the ''reliable contrabands" of our own
civil war

The Secretary OF the Treasury-The Sink
Ing Fund.

Ing Fund.
Secretary Boutwell, Aanked the Wall street
jobbers, hindering for the present all further
artificial attempts to tighten money, giving
everybody fair chance and precluding any
charge of leak on the part of Treasury Off
Gals, by the selection Of Sunday evening
when Wall street was silent and deserted-as
the time to make public his order for the pur-
chase of three millions of bonds weekly during
the rest of July. The order itself-which will,
by nine millions for three weeks to come,
swell the total purchase of bonds for the
month to sixteen millions-is another bold
and iudicions step in the line of the states
manlike and apparently permanent policy de-
termincd upon by the Secretary of the Urea
sury The three millions bought the other day
are not to be added to the sinking fund, but
are to be set apart to await the action of Con-
gress at its next session. Congress, however,
cannot fail to endorse Mr.. Boutwells policy of
devoting the proc eeds of the Treasury sales of
gold to the purchase of the five-t wenties in
accordance with his double authorization (sec-
ton 8, act Of February 25, 1862, and section
/, act of Jnly IL, 1862 to make purchases of
bonds, employing his large surplus of funds in
such manner as to econOmize expenditures
and improve the public credit.
The acts above cited were practically ga
dead letter on the statute book" until Mr..
Boutwell, became Secretary of the Treasury.
On the 18th of last May the Secretary inaugu-
rated the purchase of government bonds in
the open market The entire amount pur-
chased in May was $3,O7O,OOO. Since the lst
of June, according to tables which we
published on Monday in our Washington cor
respondence, the amount of the sinking fund
on the 30th of June was $s, S62, $40, including
the full value of the bonds purchased and
$l7l $40, the interest saved on them. Since
the 3Oth of June another million of
bonds has been bought and added
to the sinking fund. At this rate
the taking in of bonds will soon lead to an i'm
mense saving of interest. Moreover, it has
been well said that ''the spectacle of country
reducing one per cent annually Of its debt is
something so uncommon as to have a very
direct tendency to enhance its credit" Mr..
Boutwell's financial policy is commendable as
tending to make money easy, to save interest,
to reduce orr national debt and to enhance our
national credit. The large surplus Of funds
which enables him to pursue such policy in
dicates the incalculable resources of the United
| States.

After twenty years-an uncomfortable pc.
riod in the lifetime Of an ordinary woman-of
active outdoor agitation Miss Susan B. An
thony finds herself in Convention at Saratoga.
She is looking for womans suffrage or the
right of ladies to cast ballots at elections and
play ''short boy" round the polling places,
instead of rocking the cradle, mending the
babys stockings, or taking due and natural
care that these interesting resting places are
healthily filed with the feet of infantie
natives, instead of our remaining dependent,
to snch extent as we are just at present,
on foreign emigration for the men and women
of the future. Miss Anthony was supported
yesterday by the veteran reformers Celia Bur-
leigh and Mrs. Gage, with Mrs. Wilbur, Mrs.
Martin and other we'll known universalist libe-
rators. Willard Fillmore, very nice old gen.
tleman, was present, in the hope, it may be,
that he would catch an idea or two Of progress
from the utterances Of the ladies', spinster or
matron, no matter which, 30 as the thought
was happy and likely to be utilized with
advantage in the future. Having proclaimed
the perfect acquaintance of the ladies with the
machinery of conventions" Miss Anthony
made the startling announcements startling
in a day of telegraphs, penny postage,
penny newspapers, evening tea parties
and Methodist camp meetings-that Two
men had no means Of communication to
enable them to advise together" and then
went on to state the object of the Convention
in the words that it was for the removal Of all
constitutional and legal BARRIERS" so that
''women may have an equal right to work or
starve, according to their talent" The Fourth
of July celebration in Buffalo was conducted,
she said; by women, and they will not be
s'treated as dolls" or with ''small talk" any
longer To hereto male, who inquired
what was to be done with St. Paul's assertion
that ''women should be subject to their hus-
bands" Miss Anthony replied, ''The same as
men do to others Of his sayings-pass them
by" Liberated from st. Paul, the Bible and
home duties, and with the negro free and
voter, there is no doubt but Miss Susan B.
Anthony and her compeers will 'swine
around the circle of political reform in very
effective manner, and show forth as walking
calculations of our governmental future.

TIE VIRGINIA ELECTION. The official
returns show that the Virginia election, after
all, was pretty sharply contested battle
between the conservatives and radicals, and
that the registered negroes we're more nearly
represented at the polls than the registered
whites. Thus the general results show that
in their concessions to the blacks the conserva-
tives gained the negro balance of power. But
will they now seek to hold it? That's the

QUEEN VICTORIA AND Mr.. GEORGE PEA
BoDY.-The kind and gracious letter which
Queen Victoria wrote to Mr.. George Peabody
on his recent departure from England for
America is equally creditable to the head and
the heart of that amiable sovereign. This
tribute of her Majesty to the American philan
thropist, to whom she offers ''her personal
thanks for all he has done for the people," is
all the more acceptable to him and to his
fellow countrymen from the well remembered
fact that Queen Victoria and the late Prince
Albert, her iamented consort proved them
selves stanch friends to us during the doubts,
difficulties and dangers of the darkest and most
critical hours of our recent war. It is doubt
less due to their united influence that even the
Alabama question is less likely than it might
have been to involve England and America in
fatal international quarrel.

Won Beust and the Ecumenical Council.

Won Beust and the Ecumenical Council.
The Ecumenical Council has frightened
Prime Minister Hohenlohe of Bavaria He is
a man of liberal ideas, but evidently somewhat
fearful. He breads the possible dOings of the
Ecumenical Council. He has in consequence
addressed circular to the Catholic Powers
requesting a congress and advising joint action
for the sake of protection. We have referred
to this subject before, but the latest news
invests it with fresh Importance. It appears
that Won Beust, the Chancellor of the Austrian
empire and the responsible adviser of Francis
Joseph, has replied to Prince Hohenlohe and
has refused to take any part in the proposed
congress of the Catholic Powers, for the very
sensible reason that he has no right to stntiei-
pate the decisions of the Council. In his
opinion it is time enough to interfere when the
decisions of the Council shall be found to be
against the rights of States. We have always
looked on Baron Beust as one of the great
est of the statesmen Of Europe. Since
Sadowa he has even more than Napo-
leon been the rival Of Bismarck.
He has saved Austria. He has done more
he has given Austria new lease of life. This
reply which he has sent to Prince HOhenlohe
is, nevertheless, the most convincing evidence
we have yet had of the mans superiority. It
shows us that he thoroughly understands the
character of the times. Church and State he
sees are no longer one. Each has its separate
sphere and its separate functions. We now
understand the reason why Won Beust can be
personally Protestant and officially the Chief
Minister of one of the greatest of Catholic
States. Won Beust evidently understands the
meaning and comprehends the value Of steam,
electricity, the printing press and, especially,
the newspaper. He is one Of the few states
men who are worthy of great position in a
great nation in this go-ahead age We wish
Won Beust success. As to Prince Hohenlohe,
who is also doing good work and in similar
direction, we would only say :-''Have less
fear. The tyranny Of popes and ecumenical
councils is thing Of the past The narrow
way to heaven is no longer their exclusive
property. Do we'll and have faith"

The Chinese Labsr Convention.

The Chinese Labor Convention which
organized in Memphis, Tenn, yesterday, is
not, as its title of association would seem to
import, an assemblage of natives of the
Celestial empire, but an aggregated repre-
sentaton of American citizen delegates from
the Southern and Southwestern States and
California, charged to shape and adopt plan
likely to afford the most certain means of
obtaining supply Of labor hands from China
and India 1t is question of the highest
importance, whether it be regarded in an
industrial and social point of view in the
present or the aspect Of its direct bearing on
our form of government in the future. Economic
and patient, hardy and enduring, speculative
and shrewd the people Of China, having once
tapped the side of their hoary native land by
the march Of an emgrant exodus, have been
quick in their appreciation of the advantages
and profits of the transportation, and hence
have continued to pour into California in very
large numbers during the past few years. The
aid which they afforded in the building Of the
Pacific Railroad, as well as the man
ner in which they conducted them
selves during the progress of the work, told
in their favor, and hence, perhaps,
may be traced, more or less directly; the
origin of the present movement. Chinese
would no doubt make excellent Glands" and
''cunning" craftsmen in the fields and work
shops of the South. Accepted as a freeman
he must eventually become voter, and then
will arise the really important issue which
must eventually result from his presence.
