Franco and the Holy SEQ.

Our letters and our cable news are full Of
trouble 30 far as France versus the Council
and the Holy See are concerned. The Sylla-
bus and the dogma of infallibility have
aroused France from one end to the other. A
cable despatch assures us, as our letters from
Rome had warned us, that France will not
have the Syllabus confirmed or infallibility
declared The one and the other will compel
France to reconsider her position and in all
likelihood to modify her concordat with Rome.
Count Daru, who, though good Catholic, il
a man of sense and imbued somewhat with
modern ideas, plainly speaks out aud warns
Rome that if the Jesuits who now surround
and govern the Holy Father carry
the day France will have no choice
but break off from all her ebliga.
tions Romeward, and that it may be
necessary to withdraw her troops from the
Holy City and, indeed, from the entire Papal
territory. For some such result we have long
looked, and, although it is not yet absolutely
certain that France is committed to this policy,
we have every reason to believe that under
their new conditions the French people will
not submit to any Roman tyranny. France ia
not unwilling TO protect Rome; but the day
has gone by when the French people will sub

despatch is thus made ineligible. The Coun.

Woaea SsnFass In massachusetts.
The women succeeded in voting in Hyde Park,
Mass, yesterday at the town elee ton. They put
q separate ticket in the field, and about sixty OF
them voted for 1t. They came In a body to
the polling place, with bouquets and cotton
umbrellas in their hands and modest determi-
nation in their countenances, some of them
old and gray-headed and many of them young
and pretty. Their presence, which should
have cast benign influence over the unhal-
lowed precincts which heretofore had been
accessible only to men and the vile odors OF
rum and tobacco, was the occasion Of Kisses
on the part Of some Of the disorderly men in
the crowd. But the women had stanch
defender in Sylvanus Cobb, Jr., who stood up
for them with the gallantry and daring Of the
old Spanish knights or Muscovian gunmakers
that he writes about in the Ledger. He cast
upon the disturbers ono look Of his eagle eye.
''Base ruffians !" he cried, in thunder tones,
stink ye to bar the way of these fair danes
to yonder ballot box? BY my halidom, these
women shall vote or perish in the attempt I"
These brave words had their effect and tho
gallant women voted; and, more than that,
although their votes were counted out their
ticket was elected.

GOLD 112a.-Yesterday gold again went off
and at Its lowest price freely sold at ll2k, to
the great pecuniary loss Of the sbull" party,
who formed combination last week to ad-
vance the premium in spite Of the great
popular movement to specie payments. 1t is
pity If we cannot reach resumption now that
We are so near it. The premium, being only
about 'sYork shilling" seems so trifing that
Congress ought to assist the operation by
passing law requiring the constant sale
from week to week of the surplus gold of the
government.

THE BRITISH PARLIAMENT debated the
grievances of two Of the peoples subject to
Queen Victoria yesterday, the Maoris Of New
Zealand and the Irish in Ireland. 1t is the old
story--discontent, land tenure and poverty
on fertile soils. Mr.. Gladstone moved the
second reading of the Irish Land Tenure
Reform bill. The Irish members monopolized
the greater portion Of the time Of the debate,
which vas very proper in this case and the
discussion was adjourned at an early hour this
morning. l sM

MR.. SEwARD's RECEPTION
RETnENoHMEST.-The reception Of Mr.. Seward
yesterday by the City Councils in the Gov
ernor's Room of the City Hall was very
neat affair, and in the matter Of expense .
great Improvement on the Aldermanic festival
to the Japanese ''No-Kamis" and eLittle
Tommy" retrenchment for which the thanks
Of our tax levy paying fellow citizens are par
ticularly due to Mr.. Seward himself, who
would not consent to be made the excuse for .
costly corporation feed. The day was fear
fully inclement, with it's storm Of snow and
rain, but singularly appropriate for the occa-
sion, as representing the prevailing weather Of
Alaska, Mr.. Stewards crowning purchase,
where, when the sun does shine ''the eagle
delights to soar and the humming bird does
not disdain to flutter."

QUEsADAs MANIFESTO. General Manuel
Quesada, Commander-in-C Chief Of the republi-
can army Of the island Of Cuba, who arrived
in this country about ten days ago, has de-
livered an address to the people Of the United
States, which will be found on another page.
The General speaks hopefully Of the future and
boldly avows that the Cubans fighting in Cuba
have resolved that their country shall soonu
be free and independent nation. A tabular
statement Of the strength of the liberating
army is contained in the Generals manifesto.
and it no doubt win afford food for reflection
by those who seem to believe that the Cuban
rebellion amounts to nothing. Not only have
the Cubans an organized army, but they have
also, according to General Quesada, In the
district occupied by their troops, churches,
schools and manufactures for the supplying Of
war material. The manifesto is calm, can
did and earnest document.

A Striking Movemcst In Congress-The Coal
and Iron Interests or Ponnsylvania In
Array.
simultaneously with accounts of striking
among the miners in the Pennsylvania coal
regions comes an elaborate speech delivered
in the Senate of the United States yesterday
by Senator Cameron in favor of the largest
protection to not only the coal, but to the iron,
railroad and manufacturing interests of the
Keystone State.
1t is not little singular that the movements
Of these Pennsylvania coal and iron monarchs
appear conformity, like spectres of the past, to
warn consumers that the vanguard of the
power that will abolish reasonable prices for
fuel and annihilate all light local manu-
featuring business in which iron forms
. part Is approaching. That power comes
by stealthy pathways to concentric points.
AT one time it appears in the shape
Of tumults In the coal regions caused
by the suspension of business. Such
suspension, based upon frivolous or
groundless pretexts, causes great suffering
among the miners, and the country, naturally
sympathetic, hopes that something will be
done for the relief of the destitute and suffer
ing. Then the tireless coal and iron monopo-
lists collect their forces, raise money by the
hundreds Of thousands, and, appealing to Con-
gress for protection for their interests, point
to the deplorable condition of the workmen
that such protection is absolutely required. II
is needless to say into whose pockets the
money thus raised finally goes. And by a
new reading of an old line members Of Con-
gress generally become
Medding with the duties on coal and iron.
Senator Cameron in Congress and the organ
OF the Schuylkill monopolists in Philadelphia
centring upon similar issue the same day
the one in favor Of high protective duties on
coal and iron, and the other portraying the
strikes and distress among the miners in the
anthracite eregion-foreshadow very interesting
action in Congress in regard to the tariff, and
members and the people should be on their
guard

Tho Lenten Season Among tho Theatres.
The depravity and wickedness of New York

about the streets, seeking what pocketbooks

Notwithstanding all this, we are happy to
record . fact which shows that religion

Lent set in standing room only" was the
nightly announcement at these theatres, but
since the psnitential season commenced an
ominous array Of empty benches greets the
managers eye each evening. We trust that
our country friends who delight SO much in
sxpatiating on the ''wickedness of the
modern Babylon" and in drawing comparisons
between New York and the settles of the
Plain" will credit US duly with this proof of
religious sentiment. In a cosmopolitan city
like this such an exhibit speaks well for the
deep-seated respect for religion which per-
vades the community, all denunciations Of
rural editors to the contrary Notwithstanding.
The managers look forward to the approach of
Easter with as much eagerness and anxiety as
ever did Wellington for Blucher at Waterloo,
or the federal army for Phil Sheridan after the
first day Of Cedar Greek. Easter to them will
be indeed season Of joy and festivity.

THE CASE OF GoLLADAY.-The House yes
terday decided that the action of Governor
Stevenson, Of Kentucky, in refusing to accept
Mr.. Golladay's resignation as member Of the
House was invalid, and they declined to con-
slider Mr.. Golladay any longer member.
They held that the Governor could not force a
member to remain against his wishes, nor
could his resignation when once accepted by
the House be Withdrawn. The question
whether member could resign at his own
will to evade his responsibilities was finally
referred to the Judiciary Committee

SENATOR SUMMERS IDEAs.-From the re-
port of the late political interview Of en- intell-
gent woman with Senator Sumner, which we
published yesterday, it appears that he would
prefer the annexation of the Canadas to the
absorption Of Mexico, because the Canadians
are Of our own white races, while the Mexi-
cans are mixture Of inferior colors. These
are not the Senator's words, but this is what
they mean. "Call you this backing your

The Fifty Millions Currency Bln-Coagress
In Z Middle.

The Fifty Millions Currency Bln-Coagress
In . Middle.
The vote Of the House of Representatives,
by the large majority Of ITO to rs, instructing
the Committee on Banking and Currency to
report bill for an additional issue Of fifty
millions Of currency, has not only puzzled the
committee as to what 1t should do, but has
created some surprise throughout the country.
This measure Is known to be in opposition to
the financial policy OF the administration.
There is reason to believe, too, the Senate Is
opposed to IT, The resolution appears to have
been rushed through the House without much
consideration, for the Committee on Banking
and Currency is in doubt whether the House
intended an increase of legal tenders
or national bank notes. The majority
OF the committee itself, it seems, do not favor
this initiation, though the committee may
report bill in obedience to instructions when
1t shall have decided what kind Of currency
is proposed to be issued. But looking at the
financial policy Of the administration and the
probable views Of the Senate, this measure is
not likely to become law.
The movement to increase the currency was
made by the Western and Southern members
chiefly, with view to place their sections Of
the country on something like an equality
with the East and North with regard to the
circulating medium. There Is NO doubt that
tho West and South are not equally privileged
In this respect with the East and North, and
it would be but just to give them more banks
aud banking facilities and whatever advan-
tages they might derive from these in the way
of currency. But after all, the cur
rency will flow to the centres Of capi-
tai and trade, and the distribution Of
| 1t depends In great measure upon
the course of trade. If banking were made
| free on the basis of uniform national cur
rency each section would get as many banks
as 1t needs and as much circulation as it could
hold under the natural laws of trade but the
daily and steady approach to Q specie basis
now may obviate the necessity Of any change
in the volume Of currency. Indeed, the cur
rency would be largely increased by the ad-
dition of gold and silver to the circulation,
and, as matter Of course, 1t would become
more equally distributed. Although 1t is evil
dent that the amount of currency in circula-
Hon has not affected the price Of gold-for it is
as large now as when gold was thirty per cent
higher or more-yet an Increase Of fifty mil
lions might retard for time specie payments.
Any such disturbance just now should be
avoided. Let we'll alone should be the motto
Of our legislators at Washington. Let the
present movement towards specie basis have
fair trial. Let Us see where we shall land
before any other currency or financial expert
ment be made.
