Is the Marquis of Butte Protestant or a
Catholic? Does he actually believe in Papal
Infallibity, and what does he really think of
the immaculate Conception We hope this
-nattcr .may be settled before IL grows any
more exciting or perplexiDg, or burdens the
Atlantic cable any further. The Marquis was
once a Protestant subsequently Catholic, and
lately it has been reported by cable that he
had again turned PrOtestant-but the report is
for the moment denied by cable, with what
degree of truth we will probably find out to-
day. He is very young man, and his opinions
on any subject cannot be very mature or
impressive; but then he is very
rich Marquis, and has been made
the prominent figure in Disraeli's new
novel of "Lothair so that it is really of
some consequence what his views may be.
Monsignore Capel, who is also one of the
figures of Lothian and who, as Catholic
digntary, ought to be well informed about
the young man in whose conversion he assist
ed lin a French sense), gives us some ground
for believing that the Marquis is still true to
his second love- but it is not altogether salts
factory, and we must hope, in the interest of
peace and science, that the Marquis will soon
return from Spain and set the question at
rest. If he has turned Protestant again, he
ought next to become a Catholic once more,
so as 10 be on each side an even number OF

There is hardly doubt left of the failure
of the Upton expedition to Cuba. number
of men and about 1000 stand of arms were
landed, and almost Immediately afterward
captured. The steamer, escaping the Spanish
gunboats, sailed for Asplnwall. Bad manage
ment was plainly the cause of the disaster,
which few wise precautions could have con-
verted into success. There was little disci-
pline among the men. The supplies of food
were insufficient. There were no pilots on
board. No guides met The troops on landing,
and, as consequence, they were betrayed into
the hands of the Spaniards. The Upton ex-
petition is failure simply because of the mis-
management of those who projected tin
other words of the Cuban Junta here.

4 senator on DRAM1TIC HITTING.


1t il evident that if ever our few struggling
and not specially fortunate Dramatic Authors
are to get reasonable and Just protection
from the piracy of their productions, they will
not get it from Senator Morrill, of Maine,
whose ideas upon theatrical subjects are of a
deplorably hopeless and Obfuscated nature.
The difficulty now is that when such authors
bring out an original work at any theater,
some rival manager, by stenographic devices,
or by collision with dishonest prompters,
conveys it" Ito speak politely and brings it
out, to the great detriment of the poor author,
at his own theater and perhaps sells it to
half the theaters in the country. For this
reason, the authors have prayed not that they
may have copyright, for that they have
already, and know full well that it is of no
value to them; but they ask permission
to register their production by its title, and
thus to secure real copyright without an in
evitable exposure to depreciation. Whereupon
Mr.. Morrill, of Maine in report from the Lii
brary Committee, with q rare and exquisite
misunderstanding of the whole matter, peases
to assume that these poor authors wish to
avoid publication because their plays are not
fit for publication, being indecent and i'm
moral. "Is it meant" he asks with a sim
plicity worthy of Moses in "The Vicar of
wakefield" "to introduce to the public on
"the stage sentiments and dialogues which the
public would not tolerate in print ~ "Or are
Eve to understand" he continues, "that these
dramatic compositions are 80 light and airy,
$50 excessively frivolous, as not to be worthy
"of being printed in this age of cheap and
"rapd printing Z"

From the Daily Magnet, Decatur Illinois,
The HOlst0n Southern Journal con-

son has purchased large and commOdiOus
brick building In that town Intending 20

be many, and may he ever be diligent in

its well wishes for the future prosperity

he might have chosen a much heater busi-

But we presume that "a. johnson,

the signs of the times, he will be called
ere long to occupy the seat in the United

nOsecranS Proposes TO ReCOnStruci
Our Relations.
New York, May 30.-Gen. Rosecrans
will soop publish an address to the people
of the United States, sustaining and ex.
planning the memorial which he is about to
submit to sCongress on the subject of aur
national policy towards Mexico. Gen.
Rosecrans urges declaration by Congress
of policy which will assure the Mexican
government four firm sympathy and moral
support, and our own citizens that their
rights shall be protected in whatever legiti-
mate mercantile, industrial, or whatever
other enterprise they undertake in that
country.
The policy proposed has received the sp'
proval Of ex Secretary Seward, Chief JUS
tice Chase, Caleb Gushing, Gen. Schenck,
VIM. H, Aspinwall and other prominent
citizens, by whom it has been examined,
and from whom letters will be published.
Gen. Rosecrans aifirms that decisive de-
claration by Congress at the present time
would strengthen and establish Jaurez's
declining administration in Mexico, induce
American capitalists to go there to engage
in banking and railroad enterprises, thus
raising that country to the dignity of an in
dependent. self-protecting republic and a
faithful ally of the United States.

but such copy the committee have beer
unable to find.
Ii is claimed by w. G. KYLE that III,
lot of fifty-five bonds, and lot of forty
one bonds drawn by him, were due said
road before the war, and from the affida,
ylfS, the committee are forced to the con-
clusion that other papers have been fled
with the Governor, other than those
which they have been able to find.
The committee find resolution of the
Board OF Directors accepting the proyis-
ions OF the act passed Mrach Z, 1865. ap-
propriating thirty bonds to said road. also
accepting the provisions OF the fifteenth
section of the act passed Dec. z, 1857.
The committee, in concluding their re-
port upon the RogersYille and jefferson
Railroad, would respectfully call the at
tention of the Legislature to the fact that
the bonds issued to said road since the
war, have in every instance been sold at
less than par, and consequently in viola
ton OF the laws; also, that SO, 564. so of
the proceeds was paid back to the State in
interest on the bonos, which, in the opin-
ION OF the committee, was not such use
OF said bonds as was intended by the
Legislature apprpprIating the same.
The committee are of the opinion that
the thirty bonds appropriated by the act
passed March Z, 1868, was mostly in
tended for the purpose of covering the
bridge across HolstOn river. They also
find that said bridge was not covered afifi
that the bonds were not used in accord
ance with the evident intent of the Legis-
lature
The committee are also of the opinion
that the assignment of the unpaid stock
OF said road, and the $25, 900 of Haw-
kins county bonds, as well as the locomo-
tive, to the Bank of Tennessee, to secure
debt to said bank, was in violation of
the rights of the States of Tennessee. and
an attempt TO dispose of property belong
ing 10 said road, upon which the lien of
the State to secure the payment of the
State debt, had attached; and the com
nittee would suggest that this matter
should receive the immediate attention of
the Legislature, that the rights of the
State may be protected.
The committee did not consider that |
they were clothed with the necessary au-
thOrity 10 take any action with regard to |
this property, but took the responsibility
of serving notice upon G c Mckinney, |
the assignee or trustee of the bank of |
Tennessee, not to dispose of said property
until the Legislature had taken some ac-
ton in regard to the same. Il
The committee would call the attention
Of the Legislature to the fact that from
the lst of October, 1867, to the Ist of
January, 1870, the earnings of said road
were only $22, 4S7.61, and were not sufIi-
cient to pay the running expenses of said
road, and that it would be highly proper
for the Legislature to considtS whether
some legislation is not necessary to secure |
he State from further and constantly ac-
loss.
With these observations, the committee
beg to submit this as the report on the
ROgersville and Jefferson Railroad.
