We have some sensible words from the Pope to-
day. In reply to an address, he SAID that the
Popes no longer claimed the right 10 dlspossess
sovereigns, or control the temporal affairs of the
world. 1t is clearly an historical fact that the
Popes have not been giving away crowns for a
long time. or summoning Kings and Princes to
their Judgment seat. The dream OF HndeOrand
has not been realized, but then we thought that in
this. as in all other matters, Plus TX. would refuse
to abate one jot of any pretentions ever put for

posing of thrones and principalities. though there
be no chance at present OF exercising 1t. 1t strikes
us, however. that if the Pope can waive one pre-
rogative. he can another. If he can without regret
apparently. surrender his position as supreme ruler
of the world. there ought to be no difficulty in
turning his back on the petty princlpallty OF Rome.

ing vent to their opinions regarding Governor Hoff-
man. in a series of Indignation meetings. The
Fenian Brotherhood. at a mass meeting on the 18th
instant, passed a series of resolutions in which they
charge Hoffman with being morally guilty of the
wanton and unprOvoked massacre of a large num-
Der of our fellow citizens ~ and they return their
thanks to the Municipal authorities for their efforts
to prevent the Orangemen from making them mad.
The Irish Democratic Clubs. Irish Democratic
Union, Irish Confederation, Irish Brigade Officers,
Ancient Order OF Hibernians, and Irish mass meet
ings have all held indignation meetings and =" re-

demolish the heads of Orangtmen. which were

men to seek revenge. and many other absurdites.
The Hibernians say that last year innocent blood
was spilled In consequence of "a parade Of Orange
fanatics. who. under the guise OF american rights"
were permitted to desecrate the soil of free Amer
lea. They claim that the country will never be
free again until the blood of the "innocents" is
atoned for by ample punishment. even the punish
ment of death. 1t is a shame that. in free New
York. these people cannot have their rights-AHG.

meeting OF Tammany leaders this morning ii was

AN IRISH AND CATHOLIC OPINION OF THE New
YORK RIOT.-If any man ~imagines that this kind of
lawlessness, this savage intolerance, will make the
position of the Irish in the United States a bit
better than what it is. be is egregiously mistaken.
If any man imagines that riOting and defying the
authorities will cause the name OF an Irishman to
be held in higher respect in this country, he COM
mits an objectionable error. And the cause of
freedom at home. about which we all have had
such glorious hopes lately. how will that be
affected by this scaudalous and barbarods rowdy-
ism? 1t will certainly be grievously injured. and
the day of our national regeneration will be re-
tarded. God knows how long! All that our best
and purest men have done to effect a union be-
tween our cOuntrymen. Catholic and Protestant. /
will be utterly destroyed all the sympathy and
moral support from other nations that have been
won by the heroism and devotion of our patriots.
will be Withdrawn. The hands of our enemies
will be strengthened, for men will say we deserve
the slavery and oppression that crush our people
at home. What. in the name of Heaven. can intel
ligent and freedOm-loving men say but that the
Irish are mist to be free, seeing that they are
totally destitute OF the first requisite of a free
people-a spirit of federation. And as an argu-
ment that cannot be related. they will cite the
