GENERAL McMAnON.

One report states that Gen. Nc
Mahon, the commander of the
right wing of the French army is
wounded. Some cf our readers
may be interested in a brief sketch
Of the man. He is the officer most
conspicuous in the French army
for military ability. This eminent
soldier whose name proclaims his
descent from a warlike race, is in
the sixty.third year Of his age, He
took part in the expedition OF Al
giers, and was subsequently aid
de.camp Of General Achard at the
siege Of Antwerp. In 1888 he re-
turned to Africa, and rose rapidly
in his profession, until in 1852 he
became general Of division. In
1855 he commanded an infantry
division in Marshal Bosquets
corps in the Crimea. In this ca
pacity he took personal part in
the famous and successful assault
of the Malakoff, establishing him
selfin that work and holding it,
notwithstanding the repeated and
prolonged efforts Of the Russians
to dislodge him. For this service he
was decorated with the grand
cross Of the legion of honor, and
on the return Of peach was made
4 senator. In 1857 he was again
in Africa, commanding an expe.
dition against the Kabyles, and
was afterwards appointed com
mander.in chief Of the sea and
land forces in Algeria. 1t was,
however, the Italian war which
first placed his name prominently
before the European public. With
the designation Of commander OF
the Second army corps, but really
by the side Of the Emperor, he
rendered at the great, and for q
time very dubious, battle Of Ma
genta, services 50 important that
he was named by his Sovereign,
and on the field Of battle, Duke Of
Magenta, and Marshal Of France,
He has now been recalled from
the Governor. Generalship of Al
geria, to which he was appointed
in 1864, to take a command in this
war. The Duke of Magenta is
represented as combining rapidity
OF judgment with calmness Of TEN.
per and tlrmness Of purpose in q
remarkable degree. He has never
been considered q personal favor
ite Of the Emperor, who, neverthe-
less, highly appreciates his abili-
ties and character. 1t may be in.
teresting to recall the fact that he
was the officer chosen to represent
France at the coronation Of the
present King Of Prussia in 1861,
q position which he sustained with
great pomp and dignity.

subjected to all the conditions it
is possible to imagine" An adj
ditional recommendation of gaso-
line is, that it goes much further
than kerosene, and, while burning
a clear gas jet constantly, costs
only half as much. This, with
many, will be a GROWING merit
Gasoline lamps are making, in all
parts ofthe country, a rapid inva-
sion Of the Illuminating field, and
we do not doubt that they are
destined to come into very gen,
eral use, accompanied by a diminu-
ton Of insurance risks, and the
saving of thousands Of human

what's PapaI infaIIIbllI.yl

A Grand celebration in honor Of
the definition Of the Dogma Of In
fallibility took place last Sunday,
In ST. Patrick's Cathedral at which
ile Very Rev. Mr., STAIRS, V. g.,
made an address in front Of the al.
ter, explanatory Of the Dogma Of
iniaIlibilily, before mass. ne said
after announcing the TIE Deum
service, that be deemed it necessary
TO give a concise description Of the
dogma Of infsllibility, and the rea.
son Of its PRONUNCIATION, aud that
this could easily be done because
the doctrine is so simple aud COM
prehensible. Many entertain the
erroneous opinion that The Pope
cannot err in anything be says or
does but that is not so-that is not
the meaning Of papal infallibihty.
This Is no new doctrine the recent
ceremony at Rome was only for Its
more distinct enunciation. II Is as
old as the church Itself. The dog
ma of papal infallibility does not
teach that the Pope cannot err In
what be SAYS or does. He can IN AXE
mistakes he is a human just rs
we are. The doctrine does not
mean that he cannot err In matters
Of science and politics does not
mean thai he cannot err in discus
sion of preaching. lie is truly fal.
liblc as o man. ''lniallibility"
means this, and no more or less (;
that the Pope, speaking ar ca the.
dra-officially from the chair Of st.
Peter declaring anything as to mat.
ters of offaith-is iniallible. This at
tribute belongs 10 all the success.
sors CT ST. Peter, the visible head
Of the church. Christ prayed for
st. Peter that his faith might not
fail, and said, "Peter, thou art the
rock, and on this rock / will build
my church, and the gates Of hell
shall not prevail against it." Il
give thee the keys Of the kingdom
Of heaven. Feed my sheep and
lambs" sc. All that Christ gave
to Peter belongs to his successors.
AS Peter could not live always, the
power given TO him as head Of the
church, could not be perpetuated
except as delegated authority. This
doctrine is then very simple and
plain when rightly viewed. So
many false ideas have been uttered
on this subject, 1t is necessary to
test plainly just what the doctrine
is. 1t is we'll illustrated in some
human affairs. For instance, In the
United States we have q Supreme
Court, with q Chief Justice and As.
sOciate Justices. Many cases are
referred from lower courts to this.
But after o case has been decided In
the Supreme Court there can be no
appeal. These final decisions are
as near like those Of the Pope 90 any
secular matter can be like . spiritn-

In view of the dispatches from
Europe it is interesting to know
what military force the nations
concerned can put in the field.
France has 4l4,732 soldiers on the
peace footing and 647,27l in the
field, o total Of nearly 100000.
OF these 10000 men are ready
to march on the tap Of the drum.
Austria has 27S,470 men on the
peace establishment, S38, ,000of war
strength, or 100000 fully prepared
to move. Could the South Ger
man Confederation, or group Of
States, be secured on the same
side, they have 66,540 men on the
peace or 1874, ,406 on the war foot
ing, with 1O7, 900 of these prepared
for instant service. Such a coali-
ton would give France the con-
troll of 777,000 fighting men at
once, with a reserve Of 1886, LOG
trained soldiers.
On the other hand, Prussia has
10000 on the peace or 1926, 900
on the war footing, with 100000
now ready for operations on her
western frontier. North Ger
many, going with Prussia, has
1882 on the peace, 55l,99S on
the field or 944, 321 on the war
footing, of which $4,000 are in
stantly available. This would
place at Prussian disposal S46,0
men for the first moment and
l,364,32l in reserve. Thus she
would have, instantly $4,000 men
more, and hereafter 23l, 1856 less
than the French alliance. Should
she be able to manage Southern
Germany for her cause she would
have 1,O53,000 men, or 10000
more than France, to move at
once, or quite enough to cope with
her and Austria together, for the
time being, with the advantages Of
. common language and position.
This would leave Prussia still q
reserve Of l,4A1, ,727 men, or only
154, ,379 less than that Of France
and Austria cOalesced, a difference
sWamped to the extent Of nearly
10000 men by her superiority Of
Immediate force.

WE see it stated, and trust it is
true, that the encouragement of
the United States has written a
letter TO the Republicans Of Geor-
gia, in which he expresses an
opinion, that an election ought to
be held in that State this fall.
The understanding between the
Legislature and their constituents
at the time of their election, was
that they should serve two years,
and no longer; and the people
will be overreached by an exten-
sion Of the terms. In a party
view, he thinks the Republican
party will be more hurt by pre-
venting than by holding the elec-
ton.
This ought to be decisive, mas.
much as it afIlrms what the author
Of the Georgia bill, (Mr. Farms.
worth has stated to be its intent
and bearing. But Butler and
other leading northern Radicals
are urging Bullock to hold on to
the power he now possesses, and
prevent an expression Of the will
Of the people for at least two
years. As this is a similar and
equally praiseworthy effort with
that OF Holden in North Carolina.
Bullock should call on Grant for
military assistance. 1t may be,
however, that North Carolina has
she'd some new light on this kind
Of business.

Walker. George admits IN this
that the revenues Of the city have
been stolen, but be does not wish
that Dr.. Walker shall be involved.
That is, DR.. Walker has been
70 him and said "You have no
reputation to lose, therefore take
this whole thing on you and re-
lieve me "Cassius or / sink"
What was the consideration for
this act Of disinterested friend
ship we cannot say. But since
Georges corrupt enough to steal
and then indifFerently flout a de-
claration of it in the face Of the
public, we are constrained to
think he was sensible enough to
require DR.. Walker to pay him re-
markably well for thus stepping
into the breach. However, the
people do not know George Steele
in this affair. They only know
DR.. Walker has stolen from them.
DR.. Walker only establishes a
moral innocence in proving that
George Steele (how appropriate
the name) stole from him. Let
Dr.. Walker quietly go up, as We
have all along advised, anu pay
what has been stolen.
Now, Judge Burwell, we disclaiu
any intention to perpetrate libel
and we sincerely hope your curl
Osity is amply gratified in this
honest exposition.

An IMPORTANT DISTINCTION.


Dutchmen, or Hollanders, in this
country are very often called Ger
mans, and the Germans are called
Dutchmen, while the difference in
nationality and language is almost
as great as between English and
French people. Dutchmen are Hol.
landers, natives Of that industrious
and illustrious little nation from
whence came the first settlers in
New York City. Holland, or the
Netherlands, is kingdom inde-
pendent from any other Power,
governed now by William Ill. OF
Orange. Never has Holland been
q part Of Germany, though in the
sixteenth century the Earl Of Hol-
land was also King Of Spain and
Emperor Of Germany, so that they
could be called just as we'll Span
iards as Germans. As for the Ian.
guage, though there are a very few
words in the German language that
are the same or sound like the same
in Dutch, q German cannot under.
stand the Holland language, neither
can Dutchman the German, un-
lesss he has had the necessary in.
