INFALLIBILlTY..
What it Does and Does Rot Moan.
From the New York Tribune, EdltorlaLl


The adoption Of the dogma OF Infalibility
does not impose new faith upon Roman Gath
olics. With the theological aspects Of the. case
we have nothing TO do. and the varying opin-
ions Of Roman Catholic theologians We do not
nov consider; but we state as an undeniable
fact that the Roman Catholic laity firmly be-
lieve in the infalibllity OF the Pope; that they
believed in it before the Council voted, and
even before the Council was called; that In
fact this body has only now enacted into q dog
ma what has long been the simple, unquesbion-
ing faith OF Roman CATHOLICS IN general
throughout both Europe and America. Many
may have doubted the wisdom OF proclaiming
The faith; but practically all have held it,
Neither does the adoption Of this dogma
threaten any schism in 9 church which, by
reason Of it's age, i,s vast extent, and its pow
erful hold upon the minds OF so large propor-
tion Of the civilized world, must long remain
an object of profound interest alike to friends
and foes, to statesmen as well as to theolo4ians.
The Armenians and others who, like them,
have hung loosely on the ekirts OF Roman
Catholicism may secede; but neither in Europe
nor America will there be any serious, open
disturbance of the harmony Of the faith. We
have not been allowed to print the debates,
and only vague details OF the actual proceed
ings in the Council have reached the public
eye; but whatever disputes there may have
been among the theologians, there are likely
to be none before the people.
What the proclamation OF this dogma does
IL to sharpen the antagonism between Roman
Catholics and the outside world, and to dwarf
the powers and influence Of their Own heir
archy, outside of Rome. Il is movement Of
separation and of Capitalization; it builds .
Chinese wall between the world OF modern
progressive thought and the; Roman Catholic
Church, and it gathers the powers Of that
church more and more within the limits Of the
City Of Rome. -"
Between Roman Catholics and the rest Of
the world there is henceforth an outward and
visible sign Of separation that is immutable.
Roman Catholics do believe the Pope infaliibie.
No other human being can possibly believe =.
The distinction is inevitable; it's influence upon
systems Of faith, modes Of thought, develop.
ments OF ideas. tendencies Of progress, must
be ineradicable. and the forma, aaopam OF
the dogma sharpens and intensifee 1t.

The largest iron-clad in the French navy is
the Rochambeau, formerly called the Dunder-
berg and intended tor our navy: It was sold
three years ago by MIR. Webb to the French
Government for the sum OF $4,000, 900. The
most remarkable among the other iron-clads
mandie, Inrincible, and the cupola ship Tau
reau. The Magenta and Solferlno were built
on the same lines, and have wooden hulls With
plates varying from to A inches in thickness.
Their armament consists Of rifle breech-load-
ing guns, one hundred Founders, furnished
with-l55 rounds each. The distinguishing
feature of these vessels is ram or spur,
nom the line of armor-plates of which 1t forms
part The hull Of the Couronne Is ofiron, and
is separated from the armor-plating by teak
backing. The Normandie Is similar in con-
struction to tho Couronne, and is the first
iron-elad that ever crossed the Atlantic. The
guns she carries are rifled thfrty.two pound
ers. The Invincible is armed with one
hundred FOUNDERS. and is Al feet long
and II feet broad. The Taureau which
was launched about five years ago, is one Of
the most formidable and novel among. the
French iron-clads. hhe Is q steam ram Of pc
cuiar construction, drawing but little water
and rising but few feet above the waves.
Her PROV terminates In a massive bronze
cone, by means of which, when driven at q
speed of IL or II knots, by her machinery or
500 horse power, the. Taureau can split ship:
She carries but single gun, which weighs 20
tons. There Is a cylindrical ball-proof dome
on her deck, which, it is held, secures her
from capture by boarding.
The French navy is commanded by 2218 off,
GERS OF different grades. The sailors afoat and
on shore numbered 39,S46 In 1859, which, to-
gethef with engineers, dock.yard laborers,

On the war-footlng the strength OF the navy
can be raised to 10000 men, this being the
