PapnI Infallibil,ty I'm Congress-.

The great debate on the Syllabus which the
House of Representatives drfted into on
Thursday will, we hope, be duly noted by his
Holiness the Pope and by all the cardinals
and bishops; but we hope it will not affect
their several appettes. His Holiness will
observe that all the gentlemen from the country
parts-all the pagans, as we might say, speak
ing after the manner of the ancients-are
against the great dogma and he will also
observe and be rejoiced to see that whatever
Is said in gentle spirit toward the Church
and himself comes from the representatives OF
this great metropolis of the wealth and culture
OF the West. He will regret, no doubt, that
the voice Of Morrissey was not heard on such
an occasion. All this debate was sprcpos 70
the proposition to sand an American Minister
to Rome. We are certainly of opinion that
we ought to have . representative OF that
grade in the Eternal City; but we scarcely
appreciate some OF the expressions Of gentle-
men who are also in favor, apparently. OF the
same thing. One Of them says that wc with
hold a Minister from Rome because she is a
Catholic Power, and that this is
case on our part of persecution for
religious opinions. If this were true it
would be funny for any champion of Rome to
cite us before the world for religious intole-
rance, especially with the Syllabus in all its
freshness but it is not exactly true. 1t does
not persecute either Rome or the Pope for us
to withhold some one of the second rate poll
ticians that we are so apt to name as Ministers
to such places. The only people prosecuted
in the matter are our holiday-making country
men who go abroad to spend their money and
miss the Minister'S house and his receptions as
pleasant conveniences for meeting charming
society. 1t also persecutes little, perhaps,
the second rate politicians who may be waiting
for the place. Is it sign after all of the
vitality of Rome that now, in what seems the
very age of her decrepitude, the simple men
ton of her name excites so lively flame and
such keen cutting and thrusting in the Con-
gress of the last Romans of all the nations of
Western civilization?

First Music in Central Park This After.
There will be Emusic in the air. for the first
time this season in Central Park this after
noon, commencing at three o'clock. The pro-
gramme is glorious. We learn that the Park
Commissioners intend this to be the initiative
of series Of grand open air concerts, which
will be continued in the principal parks dur
ing the summer season. They will be given by
the "Ccntral Park Band, under the direction
of the famous Grafulla. The Park Commits
sioners have already foreshadowed a determi-
nation to 60 to work in earnest in the matter
of reviving the beauties of our public parks,
and under ON able and energetic superinten-
dency their former degree of usefulness as
healthful places Of recreation and public
pleasure grounds will be rapidly restored.
To-day will be, as it were, the grand opening

What Judge Randolph Said OF the Case.
In the Hudson County Court Of Sessions, at Jersey

brought to close Schultz who possessed large
amount of property went to California to avoid the
persecution OF his wife. aud when he returned the
wife had all the oleity In her own name and
threw him out OF doors. He went to work
as barber till his sight failed him, as
he was sixty-flvc years old, yet the family
merely allowed HIM "the crumbs that
fell from the table," His wife and children were
placed in the witness stand at the trial. and all mani
tested the most intense animosity against the old
man. except one son. His daughter declared she
would not cali him father. The Overseer OF the
Poor testified that Schultz applied to him for relief
but he declined TO grant 1t, as Schultz had over
$4,000 worth OF property. The Old mans reason
was at length giving way, and In moment OF deS-
peration he cut his wire's throat with razor.
Judge Randolph. in his charge to the jury,
delivered a whitening rebuke to the I'M
natural wife and children, and declared that
the evidence for the defence revealed terrible state
OF things. 1t revealed feeling towards q father
which, II directed towards him (the Judge) by his
children, would certainly crush his heart. At the
close OF the Judges remarks as well as the address
or counsel for defence, many persons shed tears.
When Mr. Rowe, prisoners counsel, concluded an
outburst Of applause followed. The jury returned a
verdict OF guilty on the count charging the prisoner
with assault. Great sympathy is manifested for the

The Recent Channel Races.

We are astonished that the British press
does not see the real points of Significance in
the remarkable victory Of the Sappho over the
Cambria in the Channel races. What these
races exhibit is, first, the immense superiority
of the American model of yachts for all quail
ties of seagoing boats, for general sea-
worthiness and clear speed next, the supe-
rior spirit, nautical skill and seamanship of
American yachtmen and sailors. As to the
first Of these points, the Sappho's victories
are demonstrations that sane sailor could
not dispute. In the two races in which the
Cambria went over the course the victory was
50 easy and the Sappho was 90 much ahead
that she would still have been tho victor if
she had been compelled to make allowance of
time for her opponents sixe In the other race
of the three her victory was, perhaps, finer
one, because purely Intellectual It was the
victory of spirit ready to venture any sea
over the sentimental sailor who likes the
''soft and gentle gale" for which the gentle
man in the song ''heard maiden sigh.
Is it so strange, after all, that they do not
recognize this on the other side? They do
not like unpleasant facts. In what contest of
an international character, of the many in
which we have beaten them, have the English
ever handsomely acknowledged their defeat
Harvard boys beaten last year for the sake of
the generous example they gave but it has

C0ngress-The Adjournment Resolution.
The adjournment resolution was the subject
of much debate in the Senate yesterday, por-
ton Of which was very undignifed and utterly
unworthy of the high tone that is popularity
presumed TO characterize that body. The re-
publican representation was especially assailed
by some of its friends in bitter terms for band
ing with democrats to delay the business of
the country and prolong the session. The re-
solution was finally amended so as to make the
10Th of July the day Of final adjournment
instead of the 4th, and on that the
bill was passed. The bill was also
passed, as amended, in the House,
so that for nearly two months we are to be
bothered with the fruitless legislation that has
encumbered the interests of the country here
tofore. Indeed, fseling as if 1t had new and
certain lease Of life for that much longer,

The Opera.

We are glad to notice that the enterprise of
Brignoli has been rapidly growing to a great
success. Not only have the performances in the
Academy here been most enthusiastically sus-
tanned all through the three nights, but in the
twin establishment in Brooklyn the sedate
dwelers in that grave City of Churches on
Thursday night actually walked themselves up
to larger display of enthusiasm at Kellogg's
fine acting, Brignoli's dulcet notes and Gaz-
zaniga's remarkable rendering of the Gypsy
than they ever did on the occasion of Sum
day school exhibition. This is certainly q
triumph for Italian opera and an excellent en-
dorsement from Brooklyn. But, then, ssTro-
vatore' was superbly given and the house was
crowded almost beyond its fair capacity. The
management has, so far, been wise in the
selection of those operas which best developed
the talents and power of the troupe. Miss
Kellogg's first effort in tragic part gave the
public u new idea of what she could accom-
plish on the lyric stage She has made hit.
and the management has exhibited much
sagacty in giving her the opportunity so to
do. The old favorite of the New York pub
lie, Nine. Gazzaniga, has renstated herself
In the good graces of her old friends by the
assumption of new role. She has, indeed,
never been forgotten here throughout her
many wanderings, and is gladly welcomed back
again. In Miss Isabella McCulloch we have an
0rtiste Of rare talents-an artistic grown up
among us, created, as il were, by earnest
study, a fair specimen of that American spirit
which halts for no obstacles and submits to no
distractions in the path that leads to success.
Miss McCulloch is therefore, to-day one of
the most promising gems of American art,
with future before her that looks very bright
for young 2rino donna.
After the dreary gap in Italian opera it is
pleasant to see good company on the boards
again, directed by prudent management
We trust that the encouragement they have
received will lead to the establishment of
good season for the winter. 1t is evident that
the public are willing to sustain Italian opera
if it is only well managed. But public taste
demands that we shall have talent of first
class order. Who has enterprise enough to
give 1t to us?

The Revolutionary Movement in Portugal.
The Duke de Saldanha, long one of the most
aspiring chieitains of the European military
system, ranges up to take his place in politics
among those who have not hesitated to use
force in order to grasp controlling power. By
our cable kilograms from Europe dated yes
terday II will be seen that, avaiing himself Of
the general discomfort felt in the great cities
of Portugal with the Soule Ministry,
Saldanha placed himself at the head
of the main body Of the Lisbon garrison on the
morning of the 10Th inst. and marched against
the royal palace, where the Governor of the
city had taken precautions for defence. But
the troops there intrenched were averse to
any serious resistance, and, after some desul-
tory firing, in which half dozen lives were
lost and score or two Of men were wounded,
the palace was surrendered. The victor, how
ever, made no other use of his triumph than
to lay his commission at the feet of the
King, who Immediately invested him with
authority to form Cabinet, the Duke
de Soule having at once resigned.
His Majesty met with no affront, but his
prompt acquiescence having been made known
he was cheered by the troops and the people.
Thus has another change of ministry been
effected by violence, and thus another step
achieved toward the complete Transformation
that is rapidly enveloping all the wormeaten
dynasties and demorazed races of the old
regime in Europe. Saldanha, too, now has
his opportunity to become one of the common
dupes of personal ambition or to rise to the
height Of pstyictt yho. By j.djci0us reform.

strnction of this aerial man trap. Let it, there

animal endangers the lives of hundreds of
people, as one of them did in the tunnel at

that this tunnel, which is on the road from

times bought and sold in few hours. The
reaction has come. Wall street is dull and
