MINISTER CATACAzY speaks his mind pretty
freely elsewhere in our columns concerning
the many rumors about his unpleasantness
with Secretary Fish. 1t is deporable that
there should be any occasion for such blunt
language on the part Of the accomplished rep
resentatve of Russia. We think Mr. Fish, or
whoever else inspired the highly favored de-
spatches that have come to us from Washington
recently, might well have postponed them I'M
til after the reception and departure Of the
Grand Duke Alexis. Whatever peccadilloes
Catacazy may have committed, surely our
Premier could have screened them from the
public for a few weeks. We hope there will
be no more Of this tempest in teapot until
our young Russian Prince makes his adieu.

Among the numerous societies which of late
years have crept into existence having for
their object the suppression of the Catholic
Church appears one Of recent birth, which
aspires to a prominent position among these
radical institutions. The society referred to
is that of the Alferists II was born in
Rome since the occupation Of that city by the
Italian government, and, if report speaks truly,
it has a considerable number of adherents
already. Its aims are to secure Italian unity,
free thought in religion, an alliance between
Italy and Germany, the removal Of the Pope
from Rome, the abolition of the Papacy, the
suppression of the civil rights Of the priests the
burning Of as many churches as possible, and
especially the Vatican, and many other and,
to the Alierists, no doubt laudabe accom-
plishments. No Catholic can become mem
Der, but to those of every other Church or
creed the doors of the society are thrown
open. The work laid out by this newly-born
organization is sufficiently revolutionary to
attract the rebellious elements of the penin-
sula. 1t will, we presume, flourish for time
and then give way to some other organization
equally absurd, and, If possible, still more
Incorporate, revolutionary and incendiary.

by way Of San Francisco we have an inter-
esting telegraphic news report of later date
from Japan and China. The condition OF
affairs had not been materially altered in
either empire. The government of Japan
struck decisive blow against the power
Of the feudal aristocracy. The order Of
Daimios is to be abolished-that is if the
Daimios consent quietly. Perhaps they
may resist, however, and abolish the
Crown. A great conflict between aristocracy
and imperialism will come about, sooner or
later, in Japan. Its consequences may revO-
lutonize the existing order Of affairs in that
portion of the East.
Russia watched the progress Of events.
The officers of the Gear had declared the Sa-
ghaen islands annexed to the Russian empire
a measure which, if it is completed, will add
considerably to the naval Influence of the
Northern autocrat in that quarter of the world
The silk trade of japan was declining fact
which may produce much commercial embar-
rassment. American financial interests wera
affected unfavorably in Jeddo by the action Of
the officers of the Tycoon. Railroad work was
progressing favorably between Yokohama and
Jeddo. Public affairs remained tranquil in
China. Tien-tsn has beeu again visited by
heavy floods. The hoary East is being made
ripe gradually for the reception Of Chris
tian evangelism.

The Mormon Crisis.

BY telegraph from Salt Lake City we
are informed that the Mormon capital
remained tranquil yesterday. A warrant
was issued for the arrest of Elder Can
non, apostle and foremost aspirant for the
succession to the Office Of high priest. 1t was
executed just before our advices were for
warded. The official paper represents Elder
Cannon as being very ''bad sort of man"
in his love and admiration for female society,"
A co-laborer in the work of love and true
religion" named Lawrence was made prisoner
along with Cannon, and had been already
placed on trial under an indictment charging
him with acts of RIGHTEOUSNESS and adultery
These events produced very consider
able excitement in the Tabernacle dur
ing the session of the conference of the Church.
Brigham Young was slightly invalided in
health, but expected TO preach, if convalescent,
to-day. The political circles were unmoved.
There was very heavy trade in bullion,
both gold aud silver. A large quantity Of the
precious metal was sent East. The general
monetary transactions of the week were the
heaviest ever known in Utah.

One OF our cable dispatches of this morning
gives US to understand that the party Of
progress in Bavaria has interp ellated the gov
eminent concerning its attitude on the Church
question. The government, it is said, has
promised to make an early reply. II is well
that our readers should know what is this
party OF progress. II is also well that thev
should know what has prompted this action of
the party. Let it be known, then, that the
baVarlan party of progress is, to all intents
and purposes, an organization opposed to the
DEGREES Of the late Vatican Council, and espe-
cally opposed to the dogma of infallibility.
Let this also be known, that the Vatican
DEGREES are contrary to the laws of the Baya-
ran constitution. No Papal decree can he
published in that State without the consent OF
the government. In spite Of this known law
the Archbishop of Munich has been daring
enough without the consent of the govern
ment, to publish throughout his diocese the
Vatican DEGREES. On the 9th of August the
Bavarian government published manifesto
sustaining the law and condemning the conduct
of the Archbishop. Meanwhile the Archbishop
remains in power, and the State takes no fur
ther action. AT the same time DUlinger, and
Friedrich, and Huber, and the other ''excom-
municates" retain their chairs or their parishes,
as the case may be- and the ecclesiastical
authorities, without the aid of the State, can
not eject them. Things have therefore come
to standstilI. II is deadlock The Church
and the State are divided; but neither will
push matters to an extremity. In the circum-
stances the party Of progress asks the govern
ment what it intends to do. The government.
or rather the Minister of Religion and Edcca-
ton, Won Lutz, promises to answer. In
few days, therefore, we shall know whether
the Church or State will win, or, in other words,
whether there is or is not to be another Retor-
nation in Germany.

The REVOLUTION IN MExICO.-The HERALA

The REVOLUTION IN MExICO.-The HERALA
special telegram report from Matamoros which
appears in our columns to-day announces that
the revolutionary movement is still maintained
in some of the districts of Mexico. Juarex
was duly recognized by Congress as President,
despite the efforts Of his enemies in arms. The
agitation has already produced very disastrous
results to the trade Of the country. The from
tier line ports are guarded, and one of them
completely closed. Loyalsm to the Cabinet
appeared to be the prevailing sentiment in tho
country at the date of our latest advices.

MAoAMPo's CABINET AND CUBA.-The
Spanish government of Macampo promises
70 uphold the Irrational authority" in Cuba.
Seior Balaguer, Acting Minister Of State, has
already assured Captain General valmaseda
that military ''reinforcements will be promptly
despatched" to the island TO uphold the
national authority and preserve the integrity
of the Spanish dominion" The Spaniards are
pretty well accustomed to this Ministerial
chat. They get a dose of it on every occa-
sion OF change in the Cabinet in Madrid. The
excitation Of q false feeling OF national duty
is dangerous experiment for placemen 10

EMBEzzLING PUBLIC FUNDS is no longer
either safe or respectable business. Pay
master Hodge, of Washington, who made
way with half million which belonged to
the government, has been convicted Of the
offence and severe punishment inflicted upon
him; and yesterday Major General Bowman,
late Deputy Collector of the port of Baltimore,
was found guilty of similar crime. The
administration is keeping sharp watch upon
its subordinates, and appears determined to
redeem the Presidents promise of an honest
ollection and disbursement Of the public re-
