BAD MANNERS IN CONGRESS. Congress is
very bear garden, and exhibits under any
excitement sufficient to draw out the true
character and nature of it's members the most
offensive demonstrations Of bad breeding and
bad taste that can be found anywhere. The
proposition made on Thursday to revive the
mission to Rome was signal for an ebullition
that disgraces the nation. There was storm
of recrimination. Every member seemed to
exercise his faculties only to remember or invent
some reproach to be cast at another, and an
open and general declaration against men,
bers veracity ftly closed the disgraceful TRADE.
Are the more prominent men in Congress the
only ones there who have no sense Of what is
becoming between gentlemen3

Congress Yesterday.

The Senate finished the bill to enforce the
fifteenth amendment yesterday in the all-night
session of Friday. The members had agreed
to settle the matter on Friday, and succeeded
in doing SO by running Fridays session into
Saturday, thus adding to their other defective
legislation reckless arrangement of the calen-
dar. Oficially speaking, the Senate had no
session at all yesterday; but, in point of fact
1t had session from midnight Of Friday until
seven o'clock next morning, and in that inter-
val passed the bill by vote of forty-two to
eight. 1t would seem from the vote that
great deal of useless rhetoric was used to de-
feat so insignificant an opposition, but the
Senate, as body, has a weakness for rhetoric,
and any slight opposition will call it forth.
The bill will be found in full in another column
of the HERALD this morning.
After the passage of q number OF private
bills the House took up the Louisiana con-
tested election case Of Newsham against
Ryan. The latter is the democratic contest
ant, and it is quite likely received the largest
number Of votes. General Banks himself
testified to his loyalty, having occupied his
house at Alexandria on the ill-fated Red
River expedition. These facts were Of course
enough for the House. 1t could not with any
political consistency put him in, being
democrat; but then, as he was loyal and had
the necessary majority, it would not do him
the unkindness to put his opponent in. The
first vote ousted Ryan and the second ousted
Newsham. At this juncture the galvanized
consciences Of the republican members dead
ened again. They had already lost Sypher
and another valuable coadjutor by this ILL
timed generosity, and when the fact that
Newsham was also lost to them was plain
number changed their votes, so that he was
elected by five majority. After such bare
faced imposition nobody was brazen enough
to propose any further business except Butler,
and he was Immediately frowned down. The
House then adjourned, in sneaking sort of
way, until Monday.

ANOTHER INDIAN DELEGATION, composed of
Spotted Tail, Swift Bear and other harmonious
chiefs of the Sioux tribe, are on their way to
Washington to meet the Great Father and Red
Cloud-a deadly enemy. 1t behooves our
Indian Commissioners at Washington to make
matters and things Ineligible to these bloody
minded chiefs without any delay, and to keep
them away from Washington whiskey, or else
we are likely to hear s'the gentle war-whoop of
the savage, the cheerful report Of the pistol
and the pleasant cry Of the VICTIM" right
under the shadow of the Capitol.

Our Special Letter from Rome-Tho Amori-
Council.
Our special correspondent in the Eternal
City furnishes a letter under date Of May 4,
the contents of which are Of the greatest inte-
rest to the Roman Catholic world in general and
of the utmost Importance to the Catholic
Christian mind of America. This communica-
ton appears in our columns to-day. Our
special writer sets forth the position which had
been assumed by the American prelates on the
subject of Papal infallibility in the Ecumenical
Council. He narrates the particulars Of the
dispute which was originated on this subject
between the Archbishop of Baltimore and Mon
signor Dupanloup Bishop Of Orleans, France,
and goes on to report the expression which the
contest elected from the members of the epis-
copacy of the various nationalities as 1t pro-
gressed. This discussion involved the prelates
of st. Louis and Cincinnati, and constituted
the only really important and, to the outside
world, only intelligent proceeding which has
been yet had from the Papal convocation.
1t will be seen that the vigorous, unfettered
mind Of the young and giant nation of the
West was exercised on the side Of liberty,
order, the democracies and established right,
in support of the solid old maxim that what is
good and is sis right" and in conservation Of
that great principle Of legitimacy which is
enunciated in the words, "Whoever is king
de .jure is king de .tactO." The ruling of Pope
Adrian and the case Of the Irish national con-
stitution as it was referred to Rome in former
years were used as precedents during the argu-
ment, and with great force, by the Americans
1t is intimated that some of our clerical coun-
trymen in the Holy City have very consider
able leaning towards scarlet hats and pairs of
scarlet stockings. Should this be so even no
one can object; they will have ''won them
well, and may they wear them long"-that is, for
many years, the stockings being, of course, Of
the standard regulation length. Ireland fur
nished determined advocate of the Papal
infallibility assertion in Cardinal Cullen. His
Eminence was warmly supported by Arch
bishop Manning, of Westminster, England,
so that the Vatican will no doubt claim veri-
fcation of the declaration which was made by
the late Cardinal Wiseman in the words, eau
gustine must have planted the sapling firmly
in the soil when the charred and hac ked
stump of the tree puts forth such healthy,
vigorous shoots" The manly, broad and tell
ing arguments of the American bishops, as
set fourth in our special letter, will stand on
the record Of the Church. Their utterance
will inaugurate new era in the logic of the

Mr. FIsH's NEUTRALITY is a very remarka-
BILE sort of neutrality. He allows thirty Span
ish gunboats to leave this port to make war on
the Cuban insurgents against Spain, but will
not allow Canadian troop ship to pass
through the Sault St. Marie Canal for war pur-
poses against the Red River insurgents. But
why the Secretary should make this nice dis
tinction in favor Of Spain we cannot under
stand, except upon the theory that he is re-
solved that Spain shall continue in the occupa-
ton Of Cuba, SO far as our neutrality can be
applied, and that, on the other hand, it is well
to be on the right side of the Fenians.

The Park Commission-The New Programme

The Park CommIssion-The New Programme.
This important body, which was organized
under the new Charter, met on Friday to com
plete it's arrangements for the government of
all our parks. Much of the future beauty as
well as the good health of the city is deposited in
the hands of the gentlemen who compose this
board. The parks over which they have con-
troll cannot be regarded alone as the garden
spots but as the lungs Of the metropolis. If
the eye drinks in beauty from the herbage and
the flowers, from the artistic arrangement of
color, and the delicate effects of light and shade,
which are all essentials in the proper laying
out of public park, the sanitary value of
these breathing places cannot be disregarded.
The excellent report of code of bylaws pre-
sented by Judge Henry Hilton shows that the
board understands its duties and comprehends
the wants and wishes of the people. The
abandonment of all political considerations in
the employment of officials is step in the
right direction. The public parks are not DO
litical institutions. They are not expected
to be wheels in any political ma
cuiue, Uut tue property OI Tue people
at large, to be governed honestly and judi
ciously for their use and benefit. We are glad
to observe that the new Commissioners UNDER
stand this. The division of labor into bureaus
having each separate responsibility is a wise
idea. Judge Hilton in his report very properly
says:-'sNo greater spur to ambition can be
devised in perfecting great public work like
the parks and places committed to our charge
than to make each prominent employee feel that
his success is bound up with it, and that its
failure will be attributed to his inattention or
want of ability"
The appointment Of engineers, architects and
landscape gardeners naturally falls into the
programme for the regulation of our great
Park, and there can be no difficulty in select
ing suitable persons out of the varied talent in
these branches for which our city is conspicu-
Gus. So far the programme for the proper
management of our public parks appears to be
perfect, and we have good reason to expect
that a wonderful Improvement in all our parks
from the City Hall to One Hundred and Tenth
street will soon be efficiently accomplished.

A Coop BEGINNING.-In the new State
constitution of Illinois some excellent provl-
sions are made for the protection of the State
and the people against railway monopolies,
railway combinations and railway extortions
and impostions. We have been urging Con-
gress to provide some general law Of public
protection against these grasping railway
monopolies; but if the several States con-
cerned will each for itself follow the good
example of Illinois no Intervention from Con-
gress in this business will be required

The Summer Opening of the Central
Park.

Park.
AS we announced in Saturdays issue of the
HERALD would be the case, the pleasant
season of musical entertainments in our match
less Park was inaugurated yesterday after
noon, and, Notwithstanding the manifold calls
of Saturday upon our population, the nume-
rous theatrical matinees, the grand tournament
in Brooklyn and the many excursions offered
by land and water to tempt the multitude to
other haunts, there has rarely, if ever, been
seen so large and brilliant throng assembled
in our great city promenade as graced it from
about two until five o'clock P. M. The end
less procession of gay equipages, the troops
of merry children in spring costume, the
brilliant danes and smiling cavaliers, made
up dazzling and ever varying scene in the
brightest of May sunshine This moving
picture was set in framework of vivid green
and bloom, for the verdure and the flowers of
the Park seemed also to have assumed their
most vivid hues, and fairly glowed and gilt
tered in the light. Neither Hyde Park nor the
Bois de Boulogne, the Prater of Vienna, the
Boboli Gardens of Florence, the Pincian Hill
at Rome or the Chiaja at Naples could, in their
palmest hour, surpass, if they could equal,
the spectacle we witnessed on the occasion we
describe. American feminine beauty had
arrayed itself in all its fascinations of dress
and manner, and the light-kirtled focks of
merry juveniles and blushing 6onnes in charge
of them were wonderful. The "anmals" were
all on their good behaviour and evidently in
tapped his ears with ponderous satisfaction
over his abundant harvest of nickels collected
for his keeper, and the usually grave and pious
camels chewed sthe cud of sweet and bitter
fancies" with a sly twinkle in their eyes, as
though they knew a thing or two more than
usual and as rich as any reminiscence of
Sahara. All the gray-coated policemen were
positively and undeniably civil-a phenome-
non of itself delightful; and, in fine, what
with prancing steeds, superb carriages, bright
eyes, ringing laughter, attire that would have
abashed Solomon in all his glory" and the
lifting measures Of exquisite music, waltzing
through the sunny air, perfumed with the
breath of the grass and the flowers, he must
have been dull dog indeed who did not feel
his every nerve tingling like harp-string to a
master hand.
But as tricksy fate will always have it with
our gayest hours,
The brightest still the neetest
at five o'clock the sky suddenly became heavy
with clouds, and in less than half an hour the
beautiful pageant was scattered in wild
Soferino of thunder and rain.

Ominous, to say the least. What with the

Italy, it is quite likely that something will
turn up" or down, on "that line" before long,

The Case of Consul Phillips.

DR.. Phillips, late United States Consul at
Santiago de Cuba, who was compelled to
leave his consulate under the protection of the
British flag because of the threats of assassi-
nation by the volunteers, has arrived in this
city. He intends to proceed to Washington
and lay his case before the government. The
full particulars of Mr.. Phillips treatment by
the Galatians appeared in the columns of the
HERALD shortly after the occurrence took
place. 1t is most humiliating to reflect on the
manner in which our flag is treated in Cuba.
The indignity offered to the United States, by
compelling its Consul to seek the protection
of friendly Power in order to save his life, is
circumstance which demands the attention
of the government. The evil does not rest with
this insult alone. 1t is well known that Amer
ican citizens have been seized, thrown into
prison, their property destroyed and in many
cases they themselves have been massacred.
United States consuls, whose duties are to
look after the interests of their countrymen,
dare not fulfil the obligations of their positions
if they have any regard for their lives. As
Mr.. Phillips intends to lay his case before his
government we hope he will have full hear
ing. The outrages perpetrated on Americans
are too numerous to be passed over in silence
and the insults offered to the American flag
too grievous to be quietly borne any longer.

THE One LEG RAILROAD TO COME
DowN.-We learn that the Corporation Coun-
sci, in the performance of his duty, has in
stituted legal proceedings against the Green
witch street man trap railroad company on
the grounds Of trespass upon the property of
the city and the fragrant violation of the pro-
visions of the law under which they claimed
authority to set up those dangerous iron
girders on single pin. This outrageous nui-
sance is therefore in fair way to be soon
abated. The case will be heard early in June.

DEATH FROM BASE BALL.-A promising
youth of fifteen was killed at Dover, N. H., on
Friday last while engaged in game of base
ball, the ball striking him on the head. Con-
sidering the weight and hardness of the balls
generally used in said game, and the force
with which they are thrown, the only wonder
is that we have not had more of such fatal
blows on the head. 1t is sad to think that
every useful lesson in the world involves some
sacrifice of human life but so it is. There is
no necessity in this national game for ball
so hard and heavy as to be sufficient to kill
man or boy by chance blow, and the thou
sands of young men engaged in this otherwise
wholesome pastme will do well to take warn
ing from this sad affair in New Hampshire.
The sport is simply barbaric in which the
instruments used, without rhyme or reason,
involve the danger of killing or crippling the
players.

EIGHTY THOUSAND DEMOCRATIC MAJORITY.
The Albany Argus claims eighty thousand
majority for the democratic ticket at the last
election. One of the most remarkable politi-
cal somersaults was that in Orleans county,
the lifelong residence Of the democratic candi-
date for Chief Justice of the Court of Appeals,
Sanford E. Church. AT the election last fall
Sigel, the republican candidate for Secretary
of State, carried the county by nine hundred
and forty-three majority. At the last election
Judge Church swept every town, with but one
slight exception, and received seven hundred
and eighty-six majority. This is one of the
most remarkable changes on the political re-
cord-a perfect ''wheel about and turn about. +"
1t shows that man can be prophet in his
own country. If the rural democracy keep on
in this go-ahead way they will be able to
swing the State without the aid Of the metro
politan democracy.
The New York herald., 1870-05-22

MAKING THE LAW NUIsANoE.-It is
pleasant to see from the Department of Inter-
nal Revenue sharp rebuke to those under
lings who enforce the law without discretion
and in way calculated only to provoke public
ill-will against it. There is this great difficulty
in making law: if it is made on the assumption
that all men are honest it leaves plenty of
places for rogues to slip through; while if it
is made on the assumption that all men are
rogues it is apt to become oppressive and
grievously vexatious to honest men. 1t is on
the latter assumption, however, that the law
must be made, and thus much must be left to
the wise judgment of those who administer it
and apply all its force only against those who
give reason to believe that they are disposed
to roguish practices. Several times the
department has exhibited the purpose to act
on this principle, and it is pleasant to note it.
