THE CUBAN REBERLIoN.-Notwiths
ing the indignant denial of the Cuban Junta
OF New York that the revolution is nearly at
an end, the opinion appears to prevail in
Washington that such is the fact. Mr.. Plumb,
the late U. S. Consul General writes that the
rebellion appears to be breaking down, and be
mentions that some small bodies of insurgents
had surrendered on promise of protection, and
that other larger bodies were negotiating for
the same purpose. These are probably the
ones whose submission is reported in the Ha-
vana despatch. 1t is worth noting also that
the English foreign Office has dispatches
which indicate the early collapse of the re-
hnlIion

IHE ECUMENICAL COUNCIL-DIsCoRDl IN THE
AssEMBLY.-The London Times correspond
emit says that the truth in regard to the first
meeting of the Council on the 10th ult is
coming out 1t was scene of great confusion.
The minority was $780, A Croatian archbishop
was making speech against the forms and ar
engagements of the Council as interfering with
the independence of the Bishops when he was
abruptly called to order. The Primate of
Hungary and Mgr. Dupanloup took the same
side and was checked in the same manner,
whereupon the latter, with the Archbishop of
Paris and hundred Bishops left the hall,
breaking up the meeting in fact. All the
Bishops complain that they are powerless;
that they have no opportunity to ascertain
what they are wanted to do, and are practical
ly prevented from becoming acquainted with
each other; that the hall is intolerable, and
there are no rooms for consultation. They are
obliged to find opportunities for mutual infor-
nation and conference where they can; and
Cardinals, and others, who happen to have
palaces at their command, are holding nightly
large reunions. Very late ones, too, suspect,
for the streets are getting noisy at midnight,
more so than when I came. Thus the first
meeting on the 10th ended with an abrupt add
journment; and 1 cannot doubt that of to-day
has done also. This is not very promising for
the presumed object of the Council, which
every day recedes farther into the limbo of vain
aspirations. If the dogma of infallibility is
adopted, it is now said positively that the
French Concordat will be at once withdrawn,
and Plus TX. will find that with new posi-
ton, new relations also will have to be ar
ranged.
Of the position of the American Bishops the
writer says:
The Papal authorities have housed the Bish-
ops with careful and discriminating hospitali-
ty. Those who cOuld not be absolutely trusted
have been lodged with safe companions, in the
proportion OF one weak brother to half dozen
strong: In one palace two or three known to
want their faith confirmed are in charge of
ten stout believers. The Jesuits have had the
manipulation of the flock, and have done it
well. There is not one of them who has not
his feelings sounded and reported upon daily;
and in this way it will be ascertained what
points can he pressed.
The Syllabus having been denounced in
America as antagonistic to the doctrine OF free
institutions, the American Bishops are in an
unpleasant position, and they would like to be
Ah0e VI 'Ho FoeSeion u ihiaiiipillty. 1nueeu-
the writer says there is strong objection to
the doctrine in the Old World also and it takes
many forms. There is one master objection at
the root of all objections, and that is the indi-
viduality and self-consciousness which makes
every man, who thinks at all, think for him
self by laws and rules of his own, and from his
own point of view. The man who thinks is
already on throne, and be does not even va
cate it when he has solmemnly accepted the
Pope for his lord paramount. He still holds it
in that See

EVERYBODY who has home or place Of
business will be interested in the new Window
Fast just introduced by the Boston and Meri-
den Manufacturing Company; its name irdi-
eating just what it is, viz. "Never-failing and
Selt-loeking." They not only supersede the
use of weights aud pullies, but in many re-
spects are positively superior; and yet are sold
so cheap that everybody who has window
can afford to take off the old worthless springs,
which are such a source of trouble, and, by
putting OF these, enjoy the luxury of knowing
their windows are always locked, wherever
and however left, from being forced either up

Grateful Remembrance,

"A grateful country will never forget your
services" How often we heard this during
the war when incipent captains and colonies
were around beating up recruits. How indig-
nant they grew when some soured croaker
told those whom they urged and flat
"loyal' patriots would be the frs. to forget
them. The bold prophecy is fast becoming
history. The ''uuattachcd" officers of the re-
gular army, for instance, most OF whom fought
through the war and earned their commissions
Are now, by the action of the lower house of
congress, to be turned adrift, and the Chicago
Post jubilates exceedingly over it, glorying
that these men are to be clicked out of the
army" We like that. 1t locks consistent.
First to urge these men into the war with as
surances ofctcrnal gratitude, and then bestow
parting kick for their services. OF course
this is all right. 1t is economy. Tax the PEG.
pie hundreds Of millions to tatten the iron
lords, but let the poor soldier dig.
Ola piece with all this was the manner in
| NhlCu thC uCdtIi vi VcIl. WAS uOtlCcU
by our very loyal republican officials on We'd
nesday. "Not drum was heard nor funer-
al note"-no flag at half mast-no sign OF sor-
row about the court house!
The General who always was identified with
western troops; who commanded at Mill
Creek; was the hero of Murphreysboro !; say.
ed the army at Chcamaugo; annihilated the
bold and untiring Hood at Nashville the
General who alone declined brevcts and pres
ents, with Roman magnanimity requesting
that the money raised for bestowment on him
might be appropriated to the relief of his dis
abled soldiers - over such man surely i.
was not too much too expect of our superloy
al officials to drop public tear Could they
not raiss even one flag at halt mast? Where
was the "Grand Army of the Republic" and
has it no representative in the court house
Verify times hare changed.
