TIE question Of the dogma of Papai
infailibility has been very generally dis
cussed in the public press Of this country,
but il seems that it has not been intelli-
gently and rightly comPrehended by a
large majority Of those who have express
cd an opinion on the subject. In an other
part of this paper will be found an expo
sition of what it really means, as given
by the Vicar General of New York, Rev
Father STAIRS. We direct the attention
of our readers TO it, and we herewith also
publish the following article from the
World in reference TO Father STAIRS
statement of the meaning of the dogma:
So many false notions have been enter
tanned both within and without the pale Of
the Roman Catholic Church cf the precise
scope and purport of the promulgation of
the dogma of Papal Infaliibilty, that it was
really incumbent on some person in high
place to give an authoritative exposition of it.
This duty has been very properly assumed
IN the absence of the rchbishop, by his vi
car general, Father STAIRS. whose explana-
ton, being both literally er cathedria and
really coming from one having authority,
and not from the ill-informed scribes of the
Protestant press. deserves to be attentively
read by those persons who have attacked the
dogma as a transcendent absurdity on ac-
count Of the position they suppose it to in
clude, but which, according to the highest
authority attainable in this country, in alb
scnce Of the chief pastors and masters of the
J 4
parison which Father STAIRS has instituted
between the infallibility of the Pope and the
ultimate jurisdiction Of a court of last resort
is strikingly appropriate. TIE members of
the tribunal may be ana must be fallble :;
but it is an absolute necessity, to a nation
governed by laws, that the power should be
lodged somewhere TO declare what that law
is, finally and irreyersibly. aud to that extent
infaibly. The analogy between nation
governed by law and church governed by
tra6itionary doctrine, is perfect and it is
evident that it is as necessary to prevent
schism IN one case as to guard against anar-
chy in the other, by lodging. somewhere in
the hierarchy power to fix and determine
the traditions of the church in case of a dis
puted Interpretation of them. This power
the council has seen fit to commit formally.
as 1t has from immemorial time been COM
mitted in practice, to the Supreme Pontiff
The bugbear of Papal InfalIiblity, so far as
lis operation is concerned, hath this extent
and no more. Although all reasonably well
informed persons were aware of 1t before,
ignorant or perverse persons have seen fit to
assun that it went much further, and for
their confusion, as well as for the edification
of his especial charge, the vicar general has
done well to put an authoritative interpreta-
ton upon the act OF the council.

TIE Louisville, Kentucky, Courier. Jour
nal, OF the I'd inst, thus alludes to the cleo
ton in that city, which occurred on the
previous day. 1t must be remembered that
this was the first political contest in Ken
lucky, in which negroes participated. The
Courier Journal says: 1.-The returns show a
smaller vote than was expected. This is
owing to the fact that the voting places dur
Ing the afternoon were almost blockaded bv
the crowds OF negroes that surrounded them.
Many persons were thus deferred from yot-
ing. But the entire Democratic ticket is
elected by handsome majorities and. con
slderlng the peacefulness and fairness of the
electIon-its freedom from bullying and dis
turoance OF every sort Democrats have
reason to congratulate themselves.
Whist the result gratiGes us, it does not
surprise US. We have not, at any time en-.
tertained doubt of the success Of the entire
Democratic ticket. But the maiorities miobt
have been much greater had the party been
thoroughly organized. and had it poiled its
full strength. 1t is the opinion of the hest
judges that had our precincts been doubled,
we should have increased our maiorities by
at least 5000 votes. But we lack both
voting places and organization, whilst the
Radicals were admirably organized. and voted
the negroes, like clock work. early and

THE WAR.-There was heavy fighting on
the 5th aud 9Th along the whole line from
Saar- Louis to Bitsche. The affair at Wefs-
senburg was but a prelude to the grand
movement intended to encircle the French
by a superior body OF men and drive them
back to Metz. a respondent OF the Lon
don Times laid down the campaign on the
part of Prussia as follows Prince Freder-
ick Charles, on the Prussan Right, will at
tack the French right from Treves, probably
moving upon Thionvle. Crown Prince
Frederick William, leading the left wing of
the Prussian army, will make an offensive
movement frcm Landou. simultaneously
with these operations upon the right and
left, General Won Steinmetz will cooperate
by an advance from the centre by way of
kalserlautem and Saarbruck. This advance
will form formidable line of attack In
pursuance Of this plan the Grown Prince
won the hard-lought field of Weissenburg,
and followed that by an attack upon Nc
Mahon's division, near Worth. The first
reports in regard to the battle were very con-
hicting. but last night official dispatches
from both Paris and Berlin announced very
decided victory for the Prussians. 1t would
seem that the heads of the Prussian columns

tne morning Of the 9th attacked the French

Spriehren. After a severe fight the French
were driven from their position. losing two
Eagles, six of the famed Mitraileurs. thirty
guns and four thousand prisoners. The loss
in killed and wounded was very heavy on
both sides. An official despatch from Ma
polson states that "Marshal MacMahou has
lost battle. General Frossard has been
obliged to retire. His retreat was effected
in good order" In another despatch. dated
Metz, August Z, $50 A M, be adds: "My

TIE MASSACRE OF THE French MIssIoNA-
RIEs AT TIENTsIN, Unfortunately
the rumored massacre of the Freuch Consul
and members of the Roman Catholic estab-
lishment at Tieutsn, China. is now fully
confirmed. The Russian government has
received a telegram, dated Kiatchta, July 6,
IN which it is stated that on the 2lst of
June the Chinese populace at Tientsin rose
against the Roman Catholic N issionaries and
murdered not only the priests and sisters of
charity residing in town, but also the French
Consul. his secretary. two French merchants
and their wives and two young Russians
Not content with wreaking their fury on
these unhappy persons. the mob burnt the
French Consulate, the Roman Catholic
church, and the hospital of the sisters OF
the cause that led to this outbreak we know
nothing as yet. One thing, however. is GER
tain. a0d that is that the fury Of the mob
was directed only against the members of
the Roman Catholic religion. and notably the
priests. The two Russians were probably
murdered in mistake for Frenchmen We
shall most likely hear that the same wild re-
ports as to the murder of infants by the mis-
sionaries-for the purpose Of making medi-
caments from their eyes, brains &c, which
have been at the bottom of all the missiona-
ry riots that have lately occurred In China
are the cause of this one also. The Chinese
government may congratulate itself that
France has much more serious matter on
hand just now than that involved in this
massacre. That it will be passed over is not
to be expected.
An expedition will doubtless be sent to
avenge the insult to the French flag, and
once more the Pekin government will be
called upon for indemnities and further
treaty concession. With the point of the
sword the coast of China was opened to for

A Curious CAsE.-Oue day last week
Constable Michael STau6 served a writ OF
execution on Mr. Louis Harmyer, and at
tached some tobacco, the only personal prop
erty he cosld find Tue tobacco was not
stamped, and it's owner warned the consta-
bic that be dare not remove it without suf-
fering the penalties of the revenue law, which
is very severe. The Sta.e law makes it the
imperative duty of the constable, when he
finds property on which to levy, to DO so.

sponsibility. preferripg tc serve the law
under which he obtained his authority than
be frightened off by probable prosecution
under conflicting law. No sooner had he
taken the tobacco into his possession than
Mr.. Harmyer made affidavit before United
States Commissioner Halliday that one Mi
chael Straub had removed tobacco without
its being stamped. The tobacco was seized.
and is now held by Collector General Welt
eel, awaiting the settlement Of the question
at issue. The constable proposed applying
to the Collector for stamps to stamp the to-
bacco before selling the same. The revenue
law provides that stamps shall be sold TO
nobody except a manufacturer or his agent,
and the question to be settled is, whether a
constable, in selling another mans property
to pay that mans honest debts, is not virtu-
ally his agent. and entitled to stamps from
the Government for the purpose of putting
the property in a salable condition. If not.
then any man may avoid tie payment of
his debts by converting his means into to-
bacco, or other property requiring to he

hearing of the case was set for this morning.
but, by agreement between counsel for the
constable, Mr.. Rutterworth. and the District
Attorney, it was arranged to write to Wash

ties there an opinion of the law in regard to
the use of stamps on property thus levied
upon for sale = Cincinnati Chronicle july 81.
