Christianity In Engkand-Thc State Cburchs
the Pope and M0dcru Israel.

the Pope ana mOdcrn lSraels
The Archbishop of Canterbury, England,
has addressed his mitred brother OF Bristol,
advising him to let the Ecumenical Council in
Rome its sayings and doings, its fallibilities
and infalliblities just ''slide," or, in other
words, to permit both its DEGREES and declara-
tions to Ego by the board" His Grace
thinks that action in this direction will be more
''dignifed, wise and sober,' as the English
Church formularies contain "a sufficient
response to the proceedings of the Roman
Council" His Grace of Canterbury takes a
purely Christian view of the subject. He
expresses himself in words fitting and suitable
to issue from cathedral which stands on the
site of the first Christian church erected In
Saxon England, and from cloister which
dates from the twelfth century. Hs speaks OF
charity over the tomb of the Black Prince, and
proclaims his Orenaus from the Chapel of the
Holy Trinity and by the knee prints Of the
thousands Of pilgrims who have worshipped
at the shrine of Thomas Beckett The Arch
bishop of Canterbury is really ''up to the
occasion" if he can only just induce Pope
Plus k, Cardinal Antonelli and Arch
bishop Manning to ''see it." His
Grace of Canterbury is in really excellent tone
for State churchman. 1t is to be hoped that
'sMy Lord" of Bristol-a place which smells
awfully of sulphur, tar, turpentine and coal,
but which has one hundred aud thirty fine
churches and many schools-will seize the
inspiration just in the acceptable time, and
thus be able to completely exercise the spirit
of King Stephen from the aisles Of the old
cathedral.
Mr.. Disraeli, who comes from a more
ancient, nobler and more glorious name and
stock than the Archbishop, don't take things
just that way, notwithstanding his early Chris
tan baptism. The author of 'Ldthair'
pitches into the writer's and editors of Black
GOODS Magazine for the criticisms which
have been published in that periodical on his
new work. MISUNDERSTANDING the fear Of
God before his eyes and the remembrance Of
holy Job in his heart--stops press, makes
second edition and publishes the latest literary
budget chapter Of the ex-Chancellor OF the
Exchequer. Is this done in accordance with
the Papal discipline code of satisfaction" "
restitution" ''penance" and ''absolution ?"
We wait replies from the Archbishop of Can
terbury and the chief Rabbi.

PORTUGUESE REFORMS. -Saldanha has made
q revolution in Portugal bigger than at first
appeared. Among other reforms of greater or
less Importance Portugal promises to abolish
the death penalty. Is not this little too
much? Does it not seem as if the First
Napoleons mistaken humanity was becoming
too general? If the death penalty is every
where abolished what shall we do with our
Reynoldses? In this general movement against
the death penalty in Holland, in Prussia, in
Portugal and elsewhere we seem to discover
too much Of the ancient dwelling principle
little too much of democracy. We don't
despise liberty, but we have some regard for
the value of human life.

MART ALLEN, who is serving out a term of
five years in the State Prison for panel thiev-
ing, is now trying to regain his liberty on
legal technicalities. He claims that the jury
was prejudiced against him, and that the in
dictment was invalid. Mart is one Of those
old offenders who are known Intimately to all
the police officers and most of the judges, and
as the evidence against him was conclusive
he should not be allowed to escape the penalty
by legal bubble. Judge Bowling settles
these matters rightly. If he knows prisoner
to be bad character he usually sends him up
without allowing any margin for appeals or
legal subterfuge

THE BELGIAN CABINET CRIsIs.-The cleri-
cal party, which in Belgium means the Roman
party, has for some time been in painful
antagonism with what is known as the liberal
party. In Belgium, as in Bavaria and Baden,
the Roman party is numerically strong; but
sometimes questions purely local make men
forgetful of Rome. The Ecumenical Council
in Belgium, as in Bavaria, has made the
Catholic party unit. Hence the present
change of Ministry. The Belgian Cabinet
crisis does not mean much. Belgium is big
enough to be battle field, but not forceful
enough to revolutionize Europe

The Public Dcbt-The Treasury Ready 70
Pay tho July Interest.
We learn from Washington that the Secre-
tary of the Treasury has his schedule ready
for paying the interest on the national debt
which becomes due on the LIST Of July. The
amount to be paid is in round numbers twenty
eight millions. In few days, therefore, there
will be another pretty large food of specie
thrown upon the market, which will enter into
the avenues of trade and tend to bring down
the premium on gold. It Is not very often
that the Finance Minister Of great nation has
in these times such plethora of money on
hand that he hardly knows what to do with it,
but such is the happy condition Of Mr. Bout
well. He is paying the debt at the rate of
about hundred millions year, aud is al
ways ready to answer any demands on the
Treasury, or even to anticipate them. No
country was ever richer, in more prosperous
circumstances or had such prospect Of pay
ing an enormous debt. Europeans are not
less surprised at our financial resources than
they were at the strength of the government
and the military power Of the republic during
the war.
No wonder that General Grant is DESTROYS
to seize the opportunity these favorable cir
cumstances afford for reducing the debt as
much as possible. We must give credit to his
administration for what it has done and is
doing to liquidate the debt. The President
looks at this matter in broad and statesman
like point of view. He knows that by con-
tinuing to pay the debt the country will be in
the course of q few years powerful enough
for any emergency, and that when the burdens
of taxation are lifted from. the people they
will feel giants strength. But it is not
necessary to raise the enormous revenue we
are now raising. Taxation can be greatly
reduced, and yet there will be large surplus
income to be applied to the liquidation of the
debt Let Congress cooperate with the Presi-
dent in his policy, in practising economy and
in reducing and simplifying taxation, and by
the end of his term, in 1873, we shall see most
of the evils of the war obiterated and the
republic on the high road to such prosperity
and grandeur as no nation ever experienced.

The GEORGE B. UPToN's EXPEDITIONS. =
We have at length positive information about
the Cuban steamer George B. Upton, which
left this port on the 14th of last May. Her
mission was to aid the Cubans by supplying
them with men, arms and ammunition. This
work she performed well, visited the vigilantly
guarded isle on two separate occasions,
evaded the watchfulness of the Spanish gun
boats and after doing the work marked out
for her returned to this city. Both expedi-
tons of the Upton, the one from New York
and the other from Aspinwall appear to have
been well conceived and ably executed. The
account Of the performances Ct the George B.
Upton, which are published on ano,her page,
will be read with interest.

THE PROPELLER NUHPA ran down small
boat containing two gentlemen and two ladies,
near Milton, on the Hudson, on Sunday even
ing The two ladies and one gentleman were
drowned. The survivor says that the pro-
peller came upon them while their attention
was directed towards tow coming from
another point, but that when she was close
upon them they called to her to ''hold off, and
no answer was received. After they were
run down the propeller continued unconcern-
edly on her way without stopping to assist
them. 1t is but just to say, however, that the
captain Of the propeller denies this. and
declares that he did 60 back and search for the
sufferers but without effect. This lamentable
disaster indicates how dangerous it is for small
boats to venture in such crowded stream as
the Hudson, especially at night, when they are
scarcely discernible from the deck of larger
vessels. 1t would be good suggestion, we
think, for even the smaller boats to carry lights
of some sort, in order to show their where
abouts. fit is true, however, that the propel-
Ter did not go back to search for the victims,
the captain deserves as much execration as
the Infamous Captain Eyre, of the Bombay,
aud it is to be hoped he will receive severel
punishment.

A Cool PIECE OF Work Recently gang
of five or six outlaws mad raid from their
den in North Carolina across the State line
into South Carolina, and entering a village
store early in the evening seized the store
keeper and imprisoned hin in one Of his own
rooms, took possession ofthe premises, cap
tured customers as they entered singly to the
number of eighteen, placet them in durance
with the shopkeeper, and after rifing the
place of all they wanted safely decamped to
their own lair, stealing several horses on the
way. Is it not little singular that this mise
rable gang of outlaws Should be allowed to

MELANCHOLY Music FOR THE CRoAKERs.-
While the grain markets in this country are re-
spending to feverish and speculative movements
in breadstuffs in France on account of the appre-
hended failure of the coming crops there, para
graphs like the following appear among our
Western exchanges. We copy from the Mil
waukee Wisconsin of the 10Th inst:-
Wheat is coming in faster than it can be shipped.
At the present writing there are over one million
and half OF bushels in store In the various elevators
hundred thousand bushels. Milwaukee still has the
credit Of being the great primary wheat market Of
the world.
This being the pressure Of the old crop for
shipment upon single Western mart, what
will be the effect when the new crop pours into
the general market, as it is already beginning
to do from some of the more southerly lati-
tudes? Since the reports given in yesterdays

The Darien Expedition-No Route There.
1t is pretty evident now that the experiment
to construct ship canal from the Atlantic to
the Pacific, through the Isthmus Of Darien.
has had no hopeful results. All the expert
ence gathered by the exploring expedition
goes to show that the difficulties are almost
insprmountable. One obstacle alone would
probably stand in the way of success, and that
is the enormous expense Of cutting through
the ridge of mountains which, from the back
bone of the isthmus, running, as it does,
northwards from New Granada almost I'M
broken to the northern boundary of Costa RIGA,
except in such gullies as admit the Panama
Railroad to creep through. There would be
two hundred miles of cutting required by this
way. But fortunately for the plan of ship
canal there is still an easy route open and one
that had been talked of years ago and tenn
porarily discarded because it was never fairly
tried. We aIlude to the Nicaragua route.
Here we have navigable river-the San
Jnan-running from the Caribbean Sea,
at Greytown, to Lake Nicaragua, fine
sheet of water deep enough to float navy
From the western border of the lake to the
Pacific coast there are only about twelve or if
teen miles through which to cut canal. The
soil there is soft and the ground comparatively
level This mode of communication for ships
between the two oceans has occupied the
thoughts of many speculative minds in Europe.
Several years ago the present Emperor of
France in studying this question stated that
this very location. the Isthmus Of Nicaragua
this strip of land lying between Nicaragua
Lake and the Pacific, if used for ship canal,
would become, politically and otherwise, as
important point on the American Continent
as Constantinople is to Europe. A British
naval oficer-Captain Bedford Pym, we
think-not many years ago made careful
survey of this route and pronounced it as his
opinion that ship canal could be constructed
in the most satisfactory manner for twenty
| millions Of dollars
There is very important advantage which
| this route would have over the Darien route,
] and that is that there would be clear saving
| in navigation of between six hundred and a
| thousand miles for ships on each side of the
| isthmus, and saving in time
| Of fully three weeks and this is
a matter worthy If consideration.
Nature seems to have provided this route for
our purposes. The distance from all the ports
| on the Gulf of Mexico, from New Orleans and
| Galveston to Sisal, would le reduced six hun
dred miles by the opening of the ship canal
route by the way of Nicaragua in COMPARE
son with that at Darien, if such route were
possible, which it appears is not We cannot
have much reason, therefore to regret the re-
suit of the Darien expedition if itleads us to a
better line of communication with the Pacific
by way of Nicaragua.
