since he has abandoned the intention
Of fbuilding on his property and con.

prices. He also expresses q willing

of property, which he would be happy
to have streets run through on SINH

1t is announced that Cardinal An
tonelli thinks of reviving the days of
the crusaders By starting out, like Pc
ter the Hermit, and preaching in all
the Catholic countries against Victor
Emanuel. The Cardinal seems to
think by so doing, he would be able
to drive the King not only out Of
Rome, but out of all Italy. We rather
hope he will undertake the big
job. The preaching part of it could
not possibly do any harm, and speak

late. If he comes over to this country
on such a mission, we dare say the
Rev. J. g. White will meet him at Phil
ippi with his counter crusade against
the church of which the Cardinals SO
distinguished an ornament. We do
not think ef any plan that could be
suggested which would so clearly
point out the difference between the
nineteenth and eleventh centuries, ae
for Cardinal Antonelli to attempt to
initiate Peter the Hermit in inducing
the Catholics Of the various nations
of the earth to unite in an attempt to

THE House Of Representatives yes
terday passed two very important
measures. One repeals all Of
the Internal Revenue law except
The tax on spirits and to-
bacco. Thus, at one enc fell swoop,
a Republican Congress ful6lls its
pledges to the people in the reduction
of taxation. We expect the U. s.
Senate to follow the example, and pass
the House resolution promptly
through that body. The other is the
adoption Of resolution abOlishing
the office Of Admiral and
Vice Admiral. This, too. is q
most commendable measure. and
ought to speedily become law before

Memphis; Qaickstep. to Cairo; =

Eastport to Louisville; Mallie Ragon,
from Cairo.
The Fanny Brandeis had over GOO
bales cotton for White, Dunkerson &
Co. She found no place at the wharf
where she could land. except outside
one of the fat boats, loaded with
old machinery. which cucumber the
wharf, and over which it was impossi-
BILE to roll her cotton. It's not only
a disgrace TO our city, but an outrage
on steamboats, landing here, which
are required to pay an exorbilant tax
for the privilege. There is no
city between Pittsburg and New
Orleans which has done as much
to drive trade away from it
as has this city under the rule of the
present City Council. It is not sur
prising that the Courier, stuped as IL
is, has come to the conclusion that
the City Council does not possess
common sense. All the steamboat
men that come here sympathize with
that estimate...."The Qaickstep and

LONDON. Dec. 10.-The PaU Mall
Gazette, in az ably written leader,
argues against the abrogatiOn Of the
Paris treaty of 1856, because it may
have the effect of transferring the
carrying trade almost entirely 70 the
United States. e
Three Russian vessels are building
aud nearly completed in Samuday's s
ship yard on the Thames. It is said
that they are mercantile and not naval
ships.
r It is now considered impossible for
Paris to receive assistance from the
Provinces. With the failure and re-
treat Of the Army of the Loire. all
hopes in that direction are lost. The
Germans look upon the capItulation
of the city as a question Of time, and
it is announced that King William
only awaits that event before return
ing to Berlin.
The garrison Of Belfora continues
to make vigorous defense, and their
heroism and endurance excite warm
IWorld's Special
DETAILS.
Dispatches received from Paris, the
9Th. Toms, the 9th, and Brussels and
Versailles, the 10th, convey the fol-
lowing informtion:
The French losses in killed,
wounded and prisoners, reached {, 6,780
men in the recent battles.
The indications are that the next
move will be made on the north east,
along the Scissors Railroad,
The Saxon headquarters have been
removed back to Levert.
The gallant loss of the Germans in
their sorties amounts to over s, 900 in
killed, wounded and prisoners. The
loss of the German batteries on the
Loire exceed 1000 men in killed,
wounded and prisoners. sd
Intense relief was felt at Versailles
on the recent announcement of the
of the defeat Of Aurelles.
The battles of the 9TH and 8th, be-
tween Chaussey's 10Th and 18th corps
and the army Of the Duke of Meek
lenburg were extremely severe, the
French retreating only inch by inch,
and selling their positions dearly.
Chausey finally abandoned the line of
| the Loire, AID went back to Vendome,
The German advance on Havre has
has been turned aside, and Dippe was
probably occupied by them to. day.

cerning the threats of Bismarck

THE San Domingo question is al
ready before the U. S. Senate in the
shape Of an elaborate resolution, pro-
posed by Mr. Summer e~II;-s, H.
President for all the information in
his possession relative to the annexa-
tiop of Samana Island, and as to
whether any foreign power desired to
obtain possession of it. We have
been of the opinion all the time that
the story that Bismarck desired to
get possession of San Domingo was
manufactured out Of whole cloth and
put in circulation solely to influence
wavering Congressman. There is
nothing in it. We hope that Con-
gress will stand firm in its refusal to
invest any more millions In bankrupt
and disorganizsd islands. It is also
understood in WashiDgtOn that the
Minister from Hayti designs laying
some facts before the country which
will more fully than ever satisfy the
people of the improperly Of the pur-
chase of San Domingo.
