wilkinson county, made an ablt
and convincing report in favor o

After the rejection of that
Amendment by the Legislature
the Hon. VIM. L. ShSrkey, U. S
Senator elect, in consultation witt
other Southerners at Washington

ment, and forwarded it to Gov.
Humphreys with . request to have
it laid before the Legislature for
It's adoption. This "Sharkcy
. Amendment was referred 10 a
Special Committee, and Mr.. Sim
rail- made another elaborate re.
port, arguing down the salient
points Of his first report expos
ing its sophistry and stupidity,
and urging its adoption. This
second report drew forth a
lengthy and learned discussion in
which the Hon. Mr.. Brookes, of
Rankin county took o prominent
part in opposition to Mr.. Simrall's
report and the Sharkey Amend
ment. In concluding his eloquent
and impressive speech, Mr.. BroOkes

Pnpnl InfslIibiIity Appealed TO Napoleon.
A telegram dated in Rome yesterday assures
US that the Archbishop of Algiers has been
detached from the Ecumenical Council and
commissioned by the Pope on special duty to
Paris. He is directed to ascertain the views
Of the Emperor Napoleon on the dogma Of
the personal infallibility Of the Pope, for the
position on this question causes the Holy
Father serious uneasiness." If the cable ia
correct in this matter the news is really extra
ordinary. Humanity speaking it is reducing
the decision of personal pontifical infallibility
to very fallible lay source for arbi-
tration. Considered in political light
the step reveals q considerable amount OF
astute diplomacy on the part of the Head OF
the Church; for it is generally conceded that
his Majesty Of France is the most successful
politician in the world, and one who has
''come along" wonderfully since he emerged
from his involuntary moral retreat of self
examination at Ham and carried his well dis
ciplined mind, with the resuscitated eagle, to
Boulognc. The Pope comedies to his wisdom,
the Emperor will advise and an anointed
coronation may follow.
The despatch also proves that Napoleon the
First was almost miraculously prescient in his
dea for inasmuch as Pope Plus tha Seventh
would not send to Paris in his day, the fortunate
commander of the French army went to Rome
himself and brought him to the French capi-
tai in person. The great Bon aparte, standing
in the Vatican, assured the Pope that the
union of the Papacy with his government
would work admirably, thus :--'Holy Father,
will in future WELD the sword, and you will
hold the keys Of st. Peter" and this "against
the world, if necessary Pope Plus the Sew
enth replied in one word addressed to his
attendant, "Considiente," or the man is a come
diana satire which wounded as severely at
the moment as did the sword of Waterloo sub
ssquently. Napoleon the Third never aban-
dons an idea and never forgets an insult. The
united sword and keys Of Peter hold pos
session Of his mind, and Pic Mono may view
the subject in different light from Plus the
Seventh, particularly with Bonaparte in the
Sacred College.

Another North Pole Expedition.

Professor Hall, with little help from Con-
gress, thinks that he can get up an expedition
which will plant the Stars and Stripes on the
tip top Of the North Pole. And we believe he
can do it. Captain Kane and Captain Hayes,
from the fnrthest point they reached north
ward, within some seven or eight degrees OF
the pole, report as far as the eye could reach
to the northward an open sea, which they be-
lieve extends to and sweeps around the POLE
We dare say, too, that they arc correct in this
opinion, but that the best way to reach the
pole is not against the current Of the icebergs
which come down Baffin's Bay, but by way OF
the Pacific equatorial current, which partly
flows into the Arctic Ocean through Behring
Straits, or by way Of the Atlantic equatorial
current Cor Gulf Stream) up by the coast OF
Norway and by the island Of Spitzbergen.
These two great warm ocean currents supply
the water which no doubt keeps the sea open
around the pole, while the current which
comes down from Baffin's Bay is only the re-
turning volume Of those two equatorial cur
rents after they have lost their heat. Hence

fms Bay into the Atlantic in the spring. They
come from the accumulations Of the glaciers
on the rocky and precipitous shores Of that
bay on both sides.
With these Impressions Of the warm ocean
currents concerned, we think that the best
plan for North Pole expedition would be to
go in through Behring Straits and to come out
by way Of Spitzbergen, or 0ice Uersa, avoiding
the frozen Arctic Ocean outlet Of Bafin's Bay
altogether; and we think that all the failures
of British and American explorers to reach
the pole may be charged mainly to the mis-
take of taking the route of Bafins Bay. We
think so because this bay is the outlet of those
two aforesaid indowing equatorial currents to-
wards tho pole currents, which are changed into
a current of icebergs in their return by Bailin's
Bay into The Atlantic Ocean. At all events, in
view of the national honor of solving this
mystery of the North Pole, Professor Hall, an
old campaigner in the Arctic seas, should be
granted the triflng assistance required from
Congress-

C0rbin's C0pfessisr r-That FlmOus Letter.


Corbin has given in his evidence to the
Congressional committee on the subject con-
cerning the modus opera,sdi Of the great gold
gambling conspiracy OF September last. Ac-
cording to Fisk the grand bull rush, or rush
of the bulls, on that awful s'black Friday"
grew out of Corbin's letter from New York to
General Grant, at Washington, Pa. !; that
famous letter which was sent by Chaplin, the
special courier of Gould and Fisk; that all
important letter which Fisk and Gould were
led to believe by Corbin touched the main
question whether the administration would or
not interfere in the nice little plot of Fisk and
company for running up gold to 200. Chapin's
answer by telegraph to that letter, after de-
ivering 1t, brought the joyful tidngs TO the con-
federate bulls that it was ''all right" and so
they jumped at the conclusion that Corbin had
made their gold pool ''all right" with the
President and that he was in the ring. Hence
the bold experiment of that ''black Friday"
Now ''mark how o plain tale will put them
down." Corbin says that that famous letter of
his to General Grant was not about the gold
corner, but that it was on another subject. In
other words, he took the money Of Gould and
Fisk and then sold them. But where is that
letter i?

Assembly at Albany are busy in looking to

European Labor Combination.

The declaration of M. Schneider, President
of the French Corps Legislatif, that the labor
troubles at La Creuzot were fomented by
Englishmen, may doubtless be accepted as
true, and the fact indicates the extent OF
the workingmenls operations in Europe,
through labor unions and similar machinery.
The commercial treaty between England and
France, in virtue of which French wines and
other products go duty free or at very low
rate into England, while English manufactures
are similarly favored in France, has the effect
of bringing the two countries pretty close
together in the matter of industrial interest
Any article that goes through the ports duty
free may as well be made in one country as
the other; and thus if the English laborer
demands higher wages, and the article thereby
is likely to cost so much more as to materially
reduce the dealers profits, the job goes over
the channel aud into the hands of the French
workman, who has not yet discovered all the
glories OF trade union. Strikers in England
have seen this thing happen great many
times, and have finally discovered that before
a strike can be thoroughly effective in one
kingdom It must extend to the other. 1t is the
operation of combination in this sense that NJ.
Schneider refers to.

Church Street Opcn--Will 1t Relieve Broad
ways


From the lower corner Of st. Paul's church
yard one may now see well down the opening
of Trinity place toward tho Battery, looking
over mound of debris in the foreground and
between the new front walls Of houses on
either side Of extended Church street. We
suppose, therefore, that all the car companies
will presently be sending their vehicles all the
way to the Battery-down Greenwich street,
say, and up Church. When all the cars take
in that greater distance another severe blow
will be inflicted upon the omnibus interest
The Staten Island ferries and the necessities
of communication between up town and parts
Of the city below Fulton street have thus far
been of great service in keeping alive some
lines of omnibuses that would otherwise have
failed in that general mortality of omnibus
companies that occurred during the first sue
cess Of the street cars. Now these reasons
are taken away, and the diminished omnibus
patronage will diminish the number Of these
vehicles on the great thoroughfare, and thus
the new street viii practically relieve Broad.
