day and Wednesday last II was large,
interesting and successful meeting. 1t
was harmonious in It's deliberations, and
profitable in its exercises, and cannot fail
to give a new impetus to the denomina.
tion throughout the State. S. B. Rock
well, Esq, of Middlebury, presided, as.
sisted by a corps of vice-presidents and
secretaries. The various topics an
nounccd were presented, by addresses and
essays Those on the history and statis-
tics of the denominations in the State, by

Rockwell, ESQ, of Middlebury on Sun

Springfield; on the Relation of Church
to State, by Rev. Bennett Eaton, of
Shelburn, were particularly noticeable.

so good, we should, perhaps, mention that

The Italian Occupation of Rome


Rome is at last in possession Of Italy.
The foreign power which for ten years has
hindered the unity of the Kingdom and
the occupation of its rightful Capital has
been broken, and instantly the natural
and rghtful order of things is resumed
The Italian loops having invested the
city, entered it on the 10th, with but
slight resistance and amid general rejoic-
ings and are at liberty to proclaim and
to make it the capital of their country.
The occupation of the Imperial City was
a foregone conclusion when Napoleon
fell and Victor Emanuel had no longer
the excuse of foreign power in Rome
with which to answer the passionate de-
mands of his people. Expected though
it was, the event will create profound
sensation throughout Christendom. There
will be unaffected joy among all free peo-
pies at the attainment Of the great aim Of
the Italian nation. 1t is the most I'M
portant, almost the eliminating act of
unification. The recovery of Nice and
Savoy, unjustly wrested and still illegally
withheld from Italy, will complete the
work of Italian unity begun ten years
ago.
There will be curious surmises, con-
ficting opinions, grave doubts as to the
wisdom of this sudden obliteration of the
Papal temporal power In its broadcast
sense we believe it will be to the advan-
tage of the Church and the world. Catho-
icism has been for many ages powerful
agency amid the conflicting movements of
civilization. The possession Of authority
not purely spiritual has added nothing to
its strength as such agency; indeed, it
has weakened the influence of the Church
BY reason of the lack of vigor and pro-
gress with which the temporal power was
directed and enforced. 1t was in GER
tain sense, a scandal to the Church, and
the loss of its temporal power at Rome
will revert to the advantage ofthe Church
in all other parts of the world, Natural
ly the policy to be pursued toward the
Pope must for some time be grave and
embarrassing feature of Italian politics.
The complications growing out of the
question cannot be foreseen. The one
accomplished fact which it is now neces-
sary to recognize is that the temporal
power is now ended, and mat the, G is no
nation in Europe able and disposed to re-
store it. With the Pope and the Church
in their purely spiritual capacities, Vic
tor Emanuel end the Itclian Government
have notl,:: ing to do /; and to this complex
ion the new question viii doubtless re-
solve itself. -.

The Dashaway Accepts the Stedman's
Challenge with these Conditions:

Only one interested person shall
operate either machines, or go near them
at any time during the trial. Both shall
use the same soap; committe Of three
disnterested persons shall select and
divide the clothes as even as possible in
number and quality and report the re-
suit.
The eyparte testimony article which
appeared in the REGISTER, says that the
statement made in one of your previous
papers, does not set forth the true state
of the case. II seems to us that Messrs.
Wright X Munroe make bold in calling
those persons liars whose names are on
the certificate given the Dashaway.
Mcssrs Wright Il Mumoe know nothing
about the trial at Larabee's Point, Tor at
least we judge SOY for we have charity
enough for them to believe that they
would not have made such false state
ments. They claim that Mr.. Williams
took half of the clothes. Whose word
have they but Mr.. Williams? They say
other reliable genflemen's testimony cor
roborates Mr., Williams; no other gen.
tlemcn but Mr.. Cutting and Son, saw the
trial of washers, and Mr. Cuttings name
is on the certificate giving the Dashaway
preference, which it so easily won. The
Dashaway washed all the hardest arti.
cles, such as mems dirty shirts, ladies
calico and Aannels, large wooden blankets
and comiorters and giving the Boiler the
first choice in the articles to be washed
the Dashaway washed more white clothes
than Stcdman's besides all the other gar.
ments, making las the ladies who saw
the washing, will tcstify,) three times as
many clothes as the Boiler had, and get
ting them ready for the line within five min

The Battle Before Paris.

The first serious conflict in the invest
ment of Paris has resulted in defeat for
the French The Prussians, having pas
scd the Seine, six miles south of Paris,
moved west and seized low range Of
hills lying in front of Forts lssy, Vanncs,
Montrouge, Bicctrc, and lvry. The at
tempt seems to have been resisted by the
French only in front Forts Montrouge
and Bcetre. In the immediate vicinity
of the latter fort is the village Of Vile
iuif mentioned in the report as the locali-
ty of the struggle. The engagement was
fought OH Monday, the 10Th inst. The
Grown Prince of Prussia commanded the
Prussian and Bavarian corps which took
part in it. The Frcnce corps engaged
was that of Gen. Ninoy, which failed in
the attempt to reach MacMahon, and
after the latters defeat fell back to Paris.
This corps was the largest half of what
remained Of the active or regular army
of France outside of Metz and Strasbourg.
In the engagement of the 10Th it seems
to have lost seven guns and several
thousand prisoners. King William, al
ways moderate in his estimates, says
seven guns and many men, There is
little doubt, from what was previously
known, that an overwhelming force Of
Prussans had crossed the Seine and
were in position to take part in this fight.
We infer, therefore, there is little exag-
geration in the report.
This engagement has one other signii.

lance. The low range of hills which lies
south of the southern range of forts. tc
which we have before alluded, forms q
highly important feature Of the topo
graphy of this pant of the vicinity o.
Paris for it commands forts Bicetre
Montrouge, Vannes. and lvry. A Ger.
man official statement, which gives in de-
tail the elevations. of this range and o.
the forts, adds that the latter were built
before the introduction of rifed cannon
which from these hills, variously called
the flights of Bagneux and Of Sceaux
could easily render the works untenable
1t is evident that the Germans believ,
the weak point of Paris to be on tn,
southern side, and are endeavoring to sc
cure these positions Whether the French
will abandon all efforts to regain them i!
at present a matter of doubt.
At the same time that these operations
were in progress on the SOUTH the French
on the north of the city abandoned Pier
refitte and fell back into the fortress o
st. Denis. This latter is one of the
strongest and most extensive works il
France, and against it the Germans
, are not likely to make any vigorous at
tack - riJune.

Mormon Difficulties.

From present indications, we think the
Mormon rule in Utah will soon come to
an end. Decided steps have been taken
by the United States authorities, which
will bring on collision, if Brigham
Young thinks it safe or expedient. Gen.
Shaffer has made proclamation which
involves the destruction Of the existing
Militia organization Of the Territory Of
Utah, upon which, in great measure the
Mormon chiefs have depended for sue.
cess for the last twenty-five years. This
proclamation peremptorily prohibits all
musters. drills, or gatherings of Militia,
or armed persons, of any nature or de-
scrption in the Territory and it also
orders the immediate delivery to him
of all arms or munitions OF war belonging
to either the United States or the Terri
tory of Utah, now in the hands of the
Militia. 1t further provides, that in case
military force is needed for the prescrva-
ton of order, the marshal shall make re-
QUESTIONS upon Gen. Counor, whom he
appoints commander-n-chiefo of the Mill
tia of the Territory.
We shall soon learn whether the Nor
mons will obey these orders, or whether
they will, as formerly, resist them. They
have always had II grand annual muster
of the Mormon nation, about this time in
the year. To this muster at Salt Lake
City the men gathered from all parts of
the Territory; bringing with them their
arms and supplies. This gathering lasts
about a week, and the troops thus formed
are constantly drilled and reviewed, and
when not thus actively engaged, are en-.
gagged in praying, parading, Or listening
to the prayers and speeches Of others. 1t
is in view Of this annual muster that Gen
Shaffer has issued his proclamation, being
determined that it shall not take place
this year.
Gen. Conner was some years in COM
mand of the regular L. s. troops and had
his headquarters at Salt Lake city and
has always proved himself one Of the Bit
terest enemies Of the Mormons. He new.
er concealed his desire to pitch into Brig.
ham Young's pretentions. He will now
have Il chance to crafty his former wish
by executing Gov. Skaters procama.
ton.
The decision Of Chicf-Justicc Mexican
is another severe blow against the Nor
mons, but is strictly in accordance will
the laws of Congress. Under the Nor
mon rule Of legislation, the jury system
was entirely controlled by local Mormon
officers, who could by management sui

they putting the Gentle population
under Mormon power. But by the ordel
of Judge Mexican the District Courts o
Utah are declared to be United State
Courts and it is the United States Mar

trict Judge, who is henceforth empowered
to summon the Grand Jury. This ordc
judiciously carried out will secure to tn,
Gentle population Of the Territory sucl
justice as has never been granted to them
and will tend to make a residence amen,

A CONGRESSMAN OF HALF A CENTURY

New Geneva, Pa, sends us the following
concerning the Hon. Andrew Stewart the
Republican candidate for Congress in the
XXIst Pennsylvania District. Mr.. Stew
art was not candidate and did not seek
the honor. We hope the District will
honor itself by elccting him. His election
would be an anomaly in the political his
tory Of our Government. Mr.. Stewart
was first elected to Congress in S20Just
fifty years ago, for the XVIIth Congress
andis now the only surviving member of
that body-President Buchanan being
the last who has died. Between the period
of his first election and 1850, he served
through nine Congresses. He served un.

with every President of the United States
