The Senate AdJOurns Wfthout Ac-
tlOn.
In executive session of the Senate to-
day after the Presidents Message and the
accompanying documents had been read,
Sumner opposed the immediate connrma-
ton of the Commissioners He thought
il better to let the subject go over until
the documents were presented, and the
Senate have time for examination. Mr..
Davis concurred. Senator Conkling re-
replied to Sumner, and urged immediate
confirmation. The debate took wide
range involving diplomatic relations, the
powers of the President and the merits
of the plan proposed for the adjust
ment of the pending questions between
the two countries. The Senate adjourned
after session of two hours and a half
without coming to any conclusion.
The North Carolina Troubles.
The officer of the United States Army
who has been investigating the troubles
in Robson county, N. c., thinks that
the citizens could, by united action, act
ing under the authority of the sheriff as
a posse coDlnaitdtaES, suppress the out
lawry which is devastating that section
of the State. The United States troops
would be ready to afford whatever assist
ance might be necessary whenever the
civil authorities make the requisition. A
large number of farmers in the county
are said to be leaving their plantations
and removing into the towns, in conse-
quence of the great danger to property
and life they are now subject to. The
officer making the report asserts that the
Outrages are il no way the result of pc
litical sentiments, either one way or the
other.
Important, il True.
There is funny story afloat in certain
circles which those acquainted with the
new Commissioner of Internal Revenue
will enjoy. Early in Pleasanton's time
he RENTED tax of forty thousand dol
lars against Brigham Young. The in
fluences that brought about this decision
SO valuable to the Chief of Saints are
thus accounted for: The relations be-
tween Rufus ingalls,, once Chief Quarter
master of the Potomac Army, and the
are very intimate, as also
are those between the ex-Quartermaster
and Brigham's Oldest son, who is said to
have done the former an important per-
senal favor; and Brigham, acting on his
son, the son on ingalls,, and ingalls, on
produces decision by which
forty thousand dollars justly due the Gov
eminent are RENTED.

among the Dead-Is this a Chris
Iian Country
New YORK, Feb. 9.-The Tribune says
in regard TO the late railroad disaster: 1t
is a remarkable fact that none Of the
leading officials of the road personally
superintendent the recovery of the slain,
and the bodies have been subjected to the
grossest indignities, and the personal eff
fects recovered have been stolen. Bodies
have been dragged, by means of a rope
fastened around the waists, over the ice,
broken ties, and snow, to the morgue car,
and tossed in like sheep. Ladies' under
garments have been held up by heartless
boys and men and ribald jokes passed on
them. Half the village have possessed
themselves of so-called mementoes of the
disastSr in the shape of clothing and even
whole packages Ofluggage. All this has
been done without the slightest interior
ence of the officials. Two or three well
known thieves were put out of the place,
but returned in few hours. 1t is true
there is a railroad policeman on the ground,
but he is fishing for plumber like the rest.

The Vatican Council and its Defni-
tiOrs: 4 Pastoral Letter to the Clergy, IL
Henry Edward, Manning, Archbishop Of
Westminster" This is an able review by
the Primate of England, of the work of the
Ecumenical Council as seen from the
Catholic standpoint. It's scope is indicated
by the capitular headings: The World and
the Council; The Two Constitutions; The
Technology of the Definition of Infalh-
hility; Scientific History Of the Catholic
Rule of Faith; and, Results of the Defni-
ton. We had already perused this pasto-
raj, but are glad to have it in drrsble book
form-the more so as we find, in the AD-
pendix, the Postulatum of the Bishops for
the Definition, Latin, with transla-
ton; the letter of Cardinal Antonelli
to Count DaTu, Nspoleon's Foreign
Minister; the Latin text of the two
Dogmatic Constitutions, (of the faith
Catholic, and of the Church of Christ,
with an English translation. The fourth
chapter Of this latter Constitution, entitled
Concerning the Infallibls Rulings of the
Roman PoDtlff, was the grand piece de re-
distance. We find also in the Appendix
the famous Fulda Pastoral of the German
Bishops, which so disappointed the Lib
erals and the world at large. Every Oatho-
lie, who wishes to keep up with the Sur
ring times IN which we live, must feel the
need of this work. 1t comes to Us through
the mails from the publishers. ID. & j.

We are also indebted to the house of

trinal and Liturgicsl Explanations Of the

tborities prove that the work has been well
done. 1t is the presentation Of the subject
eminently adapted for American readers,
