Italy the oldest government in Europe will be swept
out Of existence During the reign Of the Emperor
Constantine the Catholic Church began acquiring
property In Rome. In 728 the P0pes possessed
considerable power and influence. Elected by the
popular vote, they had endeared themselves to the
people. who finally paid them that allegiance which
had been extended to the emperors. When, In TAI,
the Lombards laid siege to Rome, the Ponttf Gre.
CORY ILL.,, sent an embassy to France implorng the
aid OF Charles Martel. Subsequently Pope Stephen
II. obtained the aid Of Pepin. who marched an army
into Italy, defeated the Lombards ana compelled
their king, not only to abandon his design upon
Rome. but also to cede to the Pope great deal Of
territory, situated principally on the Adriatc.
From this time the Popes became temporal SOW
ereigns and their territorial possessions were
greatly enlarged by Charlemagne after his
destruction OF the Lombard monarchy. Ever
since the POpes have been the rulers Of
Rome and q great part Of Italy. Repeatedly
driven from the city ana despoiled OF their tempo
ralines they have always succeeded In regaining
what may be called peaceable spoliation took place,
nearly all the foreign Powers advising Pope Plus to
acquiesce in the seizure Of the greater part OF his do
minlons. Napoleon III recommended him to vounta-
ry give up everything but Rome. he Indignantly
jected this advice and responded the violence Of
the Italian government by accommodating Victor
Emmanuel. He is now, we suppose, powerless to
resist what to be the inevitable result Of the
present European complications.

THE POSITION OF THE coNKLINa MEN,
The Conkling men are entirely satisfied. They
beat Fenton by vote OF 220 to 175 on the Organiza
tion OF the Convention. They have driven Hamilton
Harris into Obscurity; not only defeating him as
fusing him q q membership on it. They have gOt rid
OF Waldo Hutchins and his gang IN this city. Fen
ton himself has but one member of the State Com
mittee. Tom Murphy's moral and legal adviser and
boon companion, General Chester Arthur, will be
made chairman and thus as one Of The Custom
into Greeley and turned 1t round.'
FENTONs POSITION.
Strange to say, Fenton and his adherents are en-
tircly satisfied. The Senator showed great ind-
vidual strength, without patronage and without
money and he has no responsibilities resting on
@ ea m rseey ra frat to ana ss ms and
thus earned Greeey's friendship and the support Of
the Tribune. They say that no better opportunity
could be presented in the coming campaign to cX-
hibit Grants popularity than In the most appro-
pirate nomination Of General Tom Thumb Wood
ford for Governor. They say they were defeated by
they still hold the State and this first attempt OF
the Conkling men to run the machine will prove
such wretched failure that the sceptre will be re-
stored to them with q frmer grasp than ever.
GREELEY's POSITION.
Greeley, according 10 veritable history was born IN
the town or Amherst HillsbOrough county, N. H.,
on the 81 or February 1871 He is therefore about to
enter on his sixtieth year. He has had mighty
hard road to travel so TAR this side OF Jordan. Ac-
cording 10 his bographer his coming into the world
was attended with special phenomena. He uttered
no inIantile cry he made no moan, he did not even
breathe but timely and experienced assistance
coming to his rescue he began to breathe anon
to Sbush, yea, to blush, and by the time he had
attained the mature age Of twenty minutes he lay
prone q red and smiling infant. He never
sssmiled'' himself into Office, though. He has been
always too sincere an advocate OF temperance for

On Saturday morning last an at

at the office of tho Erie Railroad to get

highly polished French kid boots -
His shirt bosom was olaboratoly en-.
brodcred, and bore upon its snowy
fold the Colonel's resplendcnt diamond
pin. After exchanging military sal
utes, we opened business by saying
"Colonel, have come 10 ask you
for the facts about Mr.. Gould's paying
Gen. Grants subscription to the Raw

"Wcll, tho facts are that Gould paid
the subscription, and that Grant ex
pressed himself as very much obliged
