On the other side Rev. DR.. Peter Parker
for many years an American missionary and
commissioner of the government in China, in
concluding letter on the subject says:
To as many as, selfmoved, within the true
sense of the term, to immigrate with their
families, let "propitious star attend them"
hither, and the sun of liberty illumine all their
future. But to the importation of thousands
and tens of thousands of male Chinese, by
contract, however advantageous to the con-
tractor who boasts of his facilities through
agents (crimps) in all the provinces OF China,
by fair means and foul, to fill up orders for the
commodity, let every good citizen enter his
protest, and statesmen, by timely and efficient
legislation, prevent it.
Yours truly, PETER PARKER.

The WORKING of the commercial treaty
between France and England, negotiated in
the interests of Free Trade by Mr.. Golden, is
not satisfactory to all parties. A meeting was
held in London on the 10Th Off ne to consider
er the subject, at which Mr.. J. Fieldin, M. p,
was chairman and chief speaker. He thought
Free Trade had been protection to the for
eign workman and ruin to the laboring popu-
lation of England" The following resolution
was adopted:
"That great distress has long been felt by
all classes OF traders, and that it has fallen
with peculiar weight on large bodies of arti-
sans and laboring. people; while in the poorer
ranks poverty and restitution haze prevailed
to an extent and for time heretofore I'M
known 70 IN this country; that many persons of
all classes throughout the kingdom, and mar
tlcu!arly among the most int elligent of the
working classes, are of opinion that this dis
tress is, in great part, attributable to our ifs
cal arrangements, and more particularIyto the
Commercial Treaty with France"

Hnfallibility.

If accounts may be credited the Holy Spirit
has moved the infallible Ecumenical Council
to declare the Pope to be infallible by vote
of $50 to 80. It is rumored indeed that other
agencies beside the Holy Spirit have had an
influence in reducing the. minority to dimen-
sons so small. But of this the outside world
knows but little.
Let us see what are some of the doctrines
which this infallible authority asserts The
Catholic World, an able magazine controlled
by the Jesuits, announces in advance some of
these. Here are few specimens: The Ro-
man Catholic religion, the writer says, is Sab
solutely perfect-as perfect as God'-"with
reference to time as well as eternity" And
further that
There can be no permanent Christian socie-
ty, no civilizing and enduring government,
which are not perpetuated by Catholic mar
rage, elevated, Instructed, and disciplined by
Catholic education.
The contract of marriage is claimed to be-
long exclusively to the Roman Catholic
Church, and this view of marriage "implies by
necessity the Catholic view Of all the relations
and obligations growing out of it; the educa-
ton of the young, the custody of foundllngs
and orphans, and all measures Of correction
and reformation applicable to youthful Offend
ers and disturbers of the peace of society," -
"a goddess system of education, or, which is
the same thing, and unyGatholic one, must be
opposed by every Catholic"
The Roman Catholic Church "fatly contra
diets the assumption ON the part of the
state of the prerogative of education, and de-
terminedy opposes the effort to bring up the
youth of the country for purely secular and
temporal purposes"
The supremacy asserted for the church in
matters of education implies the additional
and cognate function of the censorship of
ideas, and the right to examine and approve or
disapprOve all books, publications, writings
and utterances intended for public instruction
enlightenment or entertainment and the SUP
pervision of places of amusement
Imagine Roman Catholic ecclesiastic ap-
pointed over every newspaper Office and pub
fishing house, to weed everything put into
press of any heretical ideas! How the leaders
of Bennett and Greeley would read after such
pruning! In view of snch arrogant preten-
sions, is it not possible that the philosophy OF
the connection subsisting between the Infinite
and the finite may be somewhat misunder-
stood? Does inspiration, even when real,
make man infallible?

THE FOREIGN DIFFICULTIES will evidently
eliminate in war, if France continues her i'm
perious demands on Prussia. A. Berlin
despatch of Thursday says:
The disposition of the people of Prussia
seems calm and serious and resolute to fight
for national honor The Borsen Zeitiag says
that war is sure, because France wants it. The
Borscna Courier says that the French preten-
sions are direct insult to Prussia and King
William, and that war is inevitable
dispatch from Ems says the French am
bassadors demanded an audience with the
King of Prussia to exact that Prince Hohen-
zollern's remuneration be made perpetual, and
that royal veto be applied to any fresh ap-
proach to the Prince on the subject of the
Spanish crown. The King declined to receive
the ambassador, and answered through an aide
de camp that he had no further communication
to make.
A London dispatch says the feelings through
out Europe is still general uneasiness. The
tone of the official journals of France is pacific
but other papers are hostile and warlike
The Paris Journal de Soar con tradicts the
circulated report of the resig nation of the
ministry. The French military attache at the

Rumors of the resignation of the ministry
are continued, though generally discredited
Public opinion and the majority of the French
journals are opposed to accepting the dispatch

part of Prussia would be more shame than sue.

The Liberte, Monitear, Pays, Opiaioae, Ma

REVELATIONS OF THE CENsUs.-The Re
pAblican journals have persistently asserted,
and the Democratic papers as persstently de-
MED that enormous election frauds have been
perpetrated in New York in the interests OF
the Democracy. The Census returns from
ten districts in the city of New York show a
population of 22,499. There is about one vot-
er to every six inhabitants, giving in these ten
districts about $3.50 voters. The number cast
eoas ,615. 1t is impossible that the mistake in
the enumeration can be sufficiently far from
correct to account for this enormous discrep-
ancy. Nothing but fraud on large scale can
explain it,
