THE DoLLINoER MOVEMENT, as it is called
in Germany, is taking on some of the fea-
lures of revolution, or perhaps q reforma-
ton of the Roman Catholic church, and the
situation grows daily more interesting. DIR.
Dollinger's opposition TO the dogma oSInfalli-
hbility and formal protest against it, his sub
sequent accommodation by the Pope and
the ready and hearty support which he re-
ceived in many quarters, are facts tolerably
well known. Eighty Roman Catholic parish
es and several hundred of the Roman clergy
are reported to have formally expressed their
sympathy with him. So have the professors
and student generally of the University OF
Munich. The King of Bavaria is considered
to be warmly committed in his favor. In ma
ny instances the excommunicated priests and
professors are continuing the exercise of their
functions in spite of their disqualification. No
new party has yet been distinctly organised, :,
but meeting at Hedeburg, recently held,
points to such an end, and its contamination
may be reachtd in the autumn, after the ad-
journed meeting at Munich. The policy so
far indicated by Dr. Dollinger and his sup
porters is not one of secession from the Ro-
man Church., but of reform rithia it. The
State has taken no sides formally, but proba-
bly, will espouse the cause of the reformers as
against the Pope. Then look out for bulls of
accommodation, and consequent defiance of
papal pretension, and a formal declaration of
the new church, as the church OF Bavaria.
These liberal tendencies are rather the tenden-
cies of the age, and are showing themselves
elsewhere, where least expected, as for in
stance, in bigoted Austria, whose present
Premier, Count Won Beust, is Protestant, and
most of his colleagues in the Government are
SAID TO bc liberals or ratiDnalists, while the
national Parliament has given clear evidence
of the fact that its sympaihies bend in the
same direction. The Pope and his preten-
sions receive less and less favor in Austria
PENDLEToN AND THURMAN UpoN THE
STUMP.-A large crowd assembled at
Columbus Oh the evening of the 27th, in
front of the State House to listen to
speeches from the Hon. George II. Pen
dleton and Senator Thurman. Mr.. Pen
dleton spoke for one hour and tbree-quar-
ters, commencing by eulogizing Mr.
Vallandigham, and defending his charac-
ter as a man and politician, after which
he delivered substantially an old speech
given at Loveland, making no new
points. Senator Thurman followed in a
speech of an hour. lie discussed the
18th, 14th and 18th Amendments, and
stated that the Democrats interposed no
objection to the 18th Amendment. but
we've as strongly opposed to the 18th
and 18th Amendments as ever. He de-
nounced the reconstruction measures of
Congress, claiming that all the con-
struction necessary when the rebellion
surrendered was for the Southern States
to elect senators and representatives to
Congress. He discussed the reconstruct
ed State governments in detail, said the
the debts of these States had been in
creased by negro and carpet-bag gov
ernment $l9o,OOO,0o0, and denounced
the Ku.Klux bill and the treaty of
Washington.
AS these gentlemen are the leading
minds OF the democracy, and probably
the ablest Of those who will mount the
stump in its defense, it becomes of inter-
est to know the points made by them.
a glimpse of their arguments shows the
weakness Of their position, and with the
prestige against them, how formidable
their campa: su efforts are likely to
prove.
TAMMANY JUsTICE.-Not one of the
fifty Irish rioters arrested with revolvers
and bludgeons in their hands, on the day
OF the Orange parade, has been indicted
for riot OF murder. No attempt has
