HARI-KARI.
From the a. y. Tribune.

from the N. 4. ITlOune.
Our latest news from japan is discouraging
The advent of one of Victoria's half dozen
boys shook that dusky realm of eld to its
foundations; and its doors being once Jared
open to welcome the sprig of commercial
royalty, all sorts of modern lights began to
flicker and stir among its bats and shadows
There began to be talk of overthrowing
hereditary dignities, whose pedigree ran back
two thousand years, and establishing the
ballot-box; the Buddhist priests played back
CANNON and went to tea-parties and, worst
of all Congress, something after the Yankee
pattern, was inaugurated, the first of whose
acts was to consider the propriety of the abo
lition of hari-kari. Now this is the straw
too much. The world has been enlightened
far enough. If only for the sake of the edu-
cation of our children, some food for the
Imagination must be left in these out-of-the-
way corners of the earth. The process of dis
embowelling, if introduced among us, might,
We confess, prove inconvenientand unseemly;
for everyday purposes libel suit is more
efficacious to cover our wounded honor than
such reckless self-dissection; but the idea of
a man in strange garb at the Antipodes
rushing unsummoned into Hades rather than
bear an insult, hath here something in it
wholesome and ennobling We will not
lightly consent to give it up. Our Southern
brethren used to have a quick habit of guard
ing their good name with glancing sword or
flash of pistol, which was animating and in
structive to watch at distance; but they,
too, have fallen upon tanner days, and al
though they still challenge at night, safely
arbitrate before the next morning.
The goddess of Homer, however, in all
ages, demanded bloody sacrifices. Let us,
therefore, continue to offer her our friends
in Japan. 1t may anluse our Christian con-
sciences to remember that there are some
Pagans whose shame of guilt death only can
wash out. Besides, while it may be desirable
that John Bull and Jonathan should march
hand in hand, carrying the Bible and Cross
into these mysterious places of the earth,
must they convert these peoples into infinite
reduplications of themselves Let the dusky
millions from Afric's golden fountains
come up and be made Christians of, by all
means. But must they necessarily be Chris
tians with swallow-tailed coats Must
they keep shop and play backgammon
"A Briton is good thing, says Wasson;
''but are not twenty million Britons
enough?" That John ana Jonathan should
level the enchanted land which we all used to
own in their boundaries into potato fields and

WHAT THE NEW CENSUS MAY INDI.
GATE
From Tie Baltimore Sun.

From the Baltimore sun.
1t is consoling to believe that political
changes and readjustments as great as those
which have taken place in the last decade,
but tending, unlike them, in the direction of
peace and prosperity, are not unlikely TO
occur within the decade which follows the
census taken this year. That census Is ex-
pected to show more rapid Western growth
over the East for the last ten years than
during any former period Whilst most of
the European immigrants proceed immedi-
atey 10 the West, there is an emigration
going on from the East to the West at such
a rate that the rural population of the former
remains nearly stationary. The West ap-
pears to be the great reservoir in which the
surplus population of the Old World and of
the North discharges itself, but which gives
nothing back in return. When this Western
growth is represented in Congress, it is easy
to see that, if united, it can WELD COM
manding influence, and, with the aid of any
other section. dictate the policy of the Gov
erDment.
But it is not the West alone which is ex-
pected to gain an accession of political weight
by the next census. The New York World

THE FENTON, GRANT, AND MURPHY
FIGHT-WHAT 1T is COMING TO.

From the " Y. Sun.
The overthrow of Governor Fenton In his
recent encounter with General Grant and the
Hon. Thomas Murphy, as well as his political
antecedents, give color to the rumor that he
contemplates a withdrawal from the Republi-
can party with the ultimate view of uniting
with the Democracy. Governor Fenton is
not a ruined politician--far from it-but he
is thoroughly ruined Republican. He is an
aspirant for Presidential nomination; but
he must now see that his prospects of OBJ
tanning it from the Republican party are
utterly blasted. All that he can hope to do
by maintaining his present political relations
is to aid in preventing the denomination of
General Grant, or plot for his defeat should
the Republicans be so infatuated as to pat
him on the course. But Governor Fenton is
too sagacious politician not to see that
either the one or the other of these results
will be attained without his assistance.
Why, then, should not Governor Fenton
embrace this opportunity to return to the
Democratic party? Previous to the forma-
tion of the Republican party he was leader
of the Democracy in the western part of this
State. 1t was for this reason that he was
chosen to preside over the Convention at
Syracuse in 1856, where varied and somewhat
incongruous elements were consolidated into
one organization, thenceforward known as

contradicts these doctrines. II declares the
Pope to be, in Affairs concerning religion, the
supreme ruler Of all the faithful--laymen az
well as priests; chat he is not subject TO the
DEGREES Of councils. nor bound 10 consult the
Church IN declaring matters Of faith; and
that his primacy is not merely honorary, nor
limited TO mere supervision. bat extends TO
tho discipline and government of the Church
in the whole earth. The question is now
raised, whether, in case Of tho adoption Of the
schemd, tho Government Of France will not
be absolvcd from it's present obligations TO
the Pope, and whether as a natural conse
quence the Gallican Church may not be
drawn by the opponents Of characterization
into declaration Of entire independence
These considerations have no doubt, been,
duly weighed by the Pope and his advisers
and they must feel assured in their own
minds that the Papacy will receive no injury
from the measure they are urging. Report
crs are not admitted TO the sittings Of the
Council, and the utmost pains arc taken to
prevent what is said in its debates from be-
coming public. Still, enough has leaked out
to make IL sure that the minority are deter
mined not TO yield without struggle, and
that what they lack in numbers ia amply
made up by learning and ability. The perils
which the adoption Of the dogma in question
will bring upon the Church in France will
be sci forth with vigor and clcarncss, and
tho majority will not hereafter have the ex-
cuse that they were not warned. The
snme arguments which will be used in refer
epce to France. will also be applied to the
case of Austria so that the Pope will find
himself in danger of a rupture with tho two
great Catholic powers of Europe at once

A Card from the Sister. or Charity.

The rapid approach Of the heats Of summer
warned the Sisters OF Charity to make some proyl
sion for their founding charge beyond ths penLup

selves on having obtained the temporary use OF a
large farm house in a bssIthful locality. Thither,

to for the donation Of horse. close carriage suited

Let the public Judge Of the need there is for united
generous ererti0ns, from tho fact that since the a2d

France and the Pope.

10 is notorious that the present Govern.
ment Of France and the more intelligent of
the French bishops in the Gcumenca
Council are opposed TO the adoption of the
dogma of the Pope's infallibility II is
equally notorious that Notwithstanding this
. opposition, the majority of the Council are
resolved upon FORMULATING the dogma, and
that, though they may be delayed in the &C
oomplishment Of their purpose, they cannot
probably be defeated. In this state of things
the French newspapers are specializing with
some solicitude upon the consequences which
may result from the anticipated action of the
Council, and its effect upon the relations of
Church and State in France
From very carly period the French Cath
ciics have been indisposed to yield fully to
the claims of supremacy made by the Pope
As far back as 1868, a royal decree forbade
che interference of Rome in the affairs of the
national Church. After many controversies
the whole French clergy, headed by the
famous BossUET joined in 1852 in declaring
their adhesion to four points, which have
bver aince been regarded as fundamental
principles, and have formed the basis Of all
the laws and treaties relating to the Gallican
Church. These points are that kings aud
princes in temporal matters are independent
Of the spiritual power; that the Pope is sub
'tect TO the decisions Of nn ocumenical council :;
Tint the power of the Pope is limited by the
prescrptive rights and usages of the Cali.
can Church and that. in matters of faith,
the decisions of the Pope are not in.
