ITALY IND ROME.

providence arranges compensation for the
heaviest ahlictions, and one of the cOmpensa-
tons which has been given to mankind for
the curse of Bonapartsm in France seems to
be the growth of national unity in Italy. To
conciate the Church in France, Napoleon be-
came the uphOlder of the temporal power OF
the Papacy in Rome. TO quiet the French and
Italian Liberals, outraged by this interference
with popular rights he assisted Victor
Emanuel in consolidating the minor Italian
States in one monarchy, and stripping the
Pontif of all his possessions except the city
of Rome and few miles of territory imme-
diatcly around it. The astuteness which 1t has
been the fashion to attribute to him ever since
the assassinations of December, 1851, has
never been so clearly exhibited as in his
management of the Italian question; for he
has contrived to pacfy, if not to please, all
but the EXTREMIST of Italian Liberals and at
the same time to keep the undeserved reputa-
ton of a faithful son of the Church and de-
fender of the Papacy. The present war, which
has exposed so many shams and stripped the
disguise from so many humbugs, has demon
strated the emptiness of his professions OF de-
votion to the Holy Father, and the insincerity
of his position towards united Italy. He sold
out the Church in the hour of danger, and he
would have sold Italy too if he had not been
overthrown before he had time to conclude
the bargain.
At last Italy completes her consolidation
without his aid or permission. Italian troops
have marched into the Papal territory, and the
Pontiff, if he remain in Rome, will have no
more than small portion of the sacred city,
and be restricted to his proper functions as an
ecclesiastical magnate. The friends of Italy
will rejoice to see her, after so long waiting,
enjoy the fruition of her hopes in the pos
session of her natural capital; but they will
not forget that under the rule of King her
liberation is still incomplete. Rome has been
occupied in the interest of an Italian SOW
ereign, and for the avowed purpose of fore
stalling and defeating the republic. Still the
union of Italy, like the union of Germany, is
a very important step toward the realization of
the dreams of the patriots and the rest Of the
work we trust will not be long delayed.

The World is doing good work in exposing
and rebuking after its sly, sinister fashion,
the demagogue attempt to raise partisan
clamor against the fairness of the Census of
our City, now nearly completed. Here is its
last demonstration
The tendency Of the human mind TO exaggeraton has
been apty shown in the universal and profound surprise
manifested by the citizens of every town in the Union Of
over 10000 inhabitants at the results OF the Census In
the case of cities OF ambitious pretensions looping OFF
OF some thousands from the popular estimates Of
population has been followed either by wall of anguish
from the citizens thereof by ingenious theories TO
how the failed to do their duty, and thus
abridged the number Of souls within the municipal limits
The same is true OF pretentous and OF towns
OF modest views They all equally astonshed at the
fact that the official figures bele the judgments formed
in advance and, a consequence. local newspapers
everywhere busy engaged In soothing the wounded
feelings Of their patrons who bemoan them that their
cherished dreams iof rapidly increasing population
not justified by facts 1t s in certain way reproduc
ton Of the fable of the arrogant frog who sought to rival
the ordly dimensions OF the bull and burst in the
deavor Thisis the moral that communities restlessly

joice and we should hope for the silent SYM
pathy of The World.

England's neutrality, so far as helping any
body but herself is concerned, was thought to
have risen to its acme a few years ago. 1t
was admitted then that she could be, when she
chose, quite astonishngly neutral. AS between
Prussia and France, it seems, according to
present information, that she absolutely de-
clines to do anything but act as a message
boy. In the Baltic, the King of Denmark pro-
tests in vain while French fleet anchors in
Danish waters and appoints its rendezvous of
Danish islands. The fact that the navy of
France is stationed within twenty miles of CO.
penhagen might make Nelson writhe in his
CerementS.
New-York tribune., 1870-09-14

There was apparently no movement of the
Prussan advance guards yesterday; at least
the news to-day develops none. 1t will have
doubtless been noticed by our readers that
the movements of the Germans for the last
three or four days have not been of that
vigorous character which marked the pursuit
of MacMahon and Bazaine. Although there
has been nothing to obstruct the march from
Sedan and Chalons TO Paris-not even natural
dificulhes-the movement has been slow. 1t
is certainly not the policy of Germany to
permit France to organize a new army. II
may be Bismarck's policy, however, that
France should have time to organize new
Government competent to treat and give
guarantees of future peace.
New-York tribune., 1870-09-14

The indefinite story from Spain which rep
resents our Minister, Gen. Sickles, as having
been selected for robbery or slaughter by the
Spanish banditd, does not give us a high
opinion of their sagacity. If they capture him
they will doubtless discover that United States
Ministers do not, as a rule, carry around with
them q surplus of ready cash. If, after the
manner of the Greek bandtti, they hold him
for ransom, they will learn something of the
dilatOry manner i'll which this Government
extends its protection to its citizens and en-
forces its demands for damages of bandits and
corsairs generally, whether of land or sea
Spanish or English extraction.

One of the proposals for the solution of the
Roman Question is to leave the Pope in pos
session of what is called the "Leonine City"
This term is applied to those two out of the
fourteen districts into which the City of Rome
is divided, that are on the right bank, 1. e.,
the north side, of the Tiber. They are also
sometimes designated as the Trastevere. They
contain the Cathedral of st. Peter the Vatican,
and the Castle of st. Angelo

Soissons, like Laon, will offer but a brief
resistance to the Prussians. The declarations
of the Commander and the people are GER
tainly defiant enough to suit even Paris but
we imagine they protest too much. At any
rate, the resistance is not of the slightest
consequence, as it will not obstruct the march
of the Prussians nor detach largely from their
army. There are numerous other points near
Paris which, like scissors and LaOn, will
doubtless make a show of resistance, but their
action cannot affect the issue of the struggle.

EDUCATTON FOR WOMEN.

Mr.. John III. Simmons a wealthy Boston
merchant recently deceased, has bequeathed
property worth at least S1,400,00O, and likely
soon to be swelled to 100000, as a foundation
for WOman's College, wherein girls are to be
taught medicine, music, drawing, designing,
telegraphing, and other branches of art,
science and industry, best calculated to enable
"scbOlars to acquire an independent hyeli-
hood" The World objects to this bequest as
i'll ll-cOnsidered, saying:
The question arises wheherl that particular use OF
some Two Millions OF dollars is the most iudcious to
which they could be put. We doubt 1t. Where man Is
educated to physician draughsman telegraphst,
that education returns interest TO speak. to the
world in the exercise by OF his skill as long as he
lives but let woman be trained to the same cangs,
and her marriage her technical usefulness becomes
very materially impaired, it, indeed, it do not entirely
disappear. Man, being emphaticay the worker has no
hnderance the exercise Of any acquired calling, and
is in fact forced almost by the necessity OF his being to
exercise trade but just emphatically Woman has
another necessity of her being which units her. where
her life flows the OF nature from any other
business than those indoor duties which are az pecu

regard OF this distinction the Simmons bequest seeks 10

pendent OF herself 1t is needless TO say that the effort

curriculum of Simmons College in order to learn how to
take OF herself"
Comments BY The Tribune.
Regarding The World as in the wrong, and
Mr. Simmons's as one of the sOundest Boston
notions which has attracted our attention for
months, we propose briefly to indicate our
reasons:
Woman, it is urged, seldom refuses good
offer of marriage and a woman, being mar
ried, will generally and properly abandon her
calling of doctor, draughtsman, or telegrapher, to
devote herself to household cares. Suppose
this conceded: what of it Are husbands I'M
mortal2 Do not widows abound and are they
not generally required to make desperate and
often unavailing efforts for the support of
their childreni Then why not educate them
so as to divest widowhood and orphanage OF
some of their terrOrs
For our part, we consider thorough and
comprehensive education, such as Mr.. Sim
mons's will contemplates, if not essential to a
woman's thorough preparation for the re-
