The World sees. fit to infuse the virus of
theOlogic and ecclesiastical belligcrency into
tho controversy respecting the reunion of Rome
to Italy, while affecting to deprecate such in
fusion. To achieve its end, it does not hesi-
tate TO defy the most incontestable facts, by
speaking of "the religious relations of the
Roman POntiff to the enormous majority of
christian believers throughout the world"
We do not realize that such relations, if they
existed, would be material but they GER
tainly do not exist. And the insinuation
that the blending of "the hates and
~spites, the unreason and the viruIence
"Of parties and of sects," with the controversy
respecting the relations of Rome to Italy. is
the work of the upholders of Italian unity.
is equally unwarranted. 1t is our decided
Judgment that the Roman Catholic Church
will be immensely strengthened by the entire
divorce Of her chief prelate from all political
authority and secular power; but that is no
part OF our reason for upholding the cause of
Italian unity. That there may be persons who
regard the despotie authority of the Popes
over Rome and her suburbs as essential TO
"Catholic unity" we cannot deny; but The
World knows better and ought to speak ac-
~
facts like juggler when it says:
"The events of ls4s gave France an opportunity OF
which the Republic promptly avaled herself to seize
the control Of ae Sates Of the Church."

The painful report of the burning of a
Coolie snip, and the loss of over four hundred
of the poor fellows in the flames, comes in
such questionable form that it will require
confirmation before it is fully credited. The
reporter is dreadfully confused in his geogra-
ply, and represents the ship as sailing away
from its declared destination and across Aus
tralia, usually supposed to be unnavigable for
sailing vessels. The fact that the first state
ment comes from Boston instead of the other
side of the continent is sufficient to discredit
the whole story.

PLAIN AND COLORED PHOTOGRAPHS.

In accordance with the position which THE
TRIBUNE has always occupied, of offering the
fullest hospitality to the expression of every
genuine utterance of thought, without regard
to its origin, wo publish this morning two re-
markable letters from Europe, giving, in the
most vivid and epigrammatic form, the con-
trasted points of view from which the Northern
and the Southern mind regard the contest now
raging on the Continent The first is part of
private letter just received in New York from
distinguished American citizen now in Europe,
whorecords, without prepossessiOns or partisan
ship, his impressions of the aspect and promise
Of the present complications. He expresses
with q coolness which might seem to
border upon cruelty, if We did not
know him to be a most intelligent and sympa-
thetic friend of France and Of the French peO-
pie for many years, his conviction of the utter
hopelessness of the struggle as to ultimate re-
suits, not without rendering tribute to the
desperate valor the vanquished people may
even yet exhibit. before the end. The rehabil-
itation of the nation, deteriorsted by so many
years of imperial rule, cannot be properly
looked for until after the Emperor's war is
given up by the people of France. The char
acterization of the Luxemburg and Black Sea
questions will he found full of the most orig
inal and striking suggestions.
The second letter is from Mr.. Ernest Fey
deau, the well-llnown novelist who has chosen
THE TRIBUNE as his means of conveying the
agoninng protest of France to the civilized
world. There may be those who would deny
TO Mr. Feydeau the right TO such an authori-
tatve utterance. We admit he is no poll
tician, no general, no diplomatist. But the
excited public feeling which is now dominating
France is not inspired by any considerations
of military science or diplomatic or political
expediency. NJ. Thiers wls helpless at YER
sailles because he knew the mbble of the
Paris pavements must ratify any treaty he
made. and they would tear in pieces any nro-
tOcol in which they should find q glin.DIer

chief strength in his stubborn retcence.
He is too intelligent to share in the Illusions

and the overthrow by French bayonets OF the
Roman Republic and Roman liberty. Sacerdo-
tai despotism reGntered Rome through breaches
battered in her walls by French cannon; and
French arms have upheld it for the last
twenty years. Again it has fallen with Louis
Napoleon; and, if it shall ever again be re-
established that must be the work of foreign
power. Victor Emanuel is but temporary
accident; Italy, we fOndly trust, Is to be

The Senate joint resolutions appointing q
Commission to visit San Domingo passed the
House yesterday, with a proyiso attached de-
claring that they should not be construed as

bate which preceded their adoption by the
House was more decorous Can that which
lately disgraced the Senate. The advocates of

In discussing Amnesty in the Senate yester-

opposed to removing the political disabilities
of Southern people until they ceased to per-
secute those who are left in the enjoyment of
their civil rights. 1t is this very political in
equality which is the chief disturbing element
in the South, and as long as it exists men will
have reason to hate each other and races and
parties will be actively and bitterly antago-
nistic. Would it not bo wise in Mr.. POmeroy
and those of his way of thinking to seek to

TILE IYRONGED WOMAN

One of those Boston essayists, whose cheer
full humOr and good English have drawn
our literature into a chatty, gOod-tempered
mood, took up last week the social evil as his
text, and, after protesting that the wrOnged
woman had become the bugbear not only of
society but of literature, proceeded to give us
a very effective sketch (after HawthOrne) of
her dead in cart and draped with a shawl.
Our essayist spoke a deeper truth than, per-
haps he knew. In literature or art the One
More Unfortunate is always when lugged in
picturesque and effective-whether as the Mag
dalene with face repentant if not reformed
bending over a skull, or plunging ont of life's
mystery into death mady by night But in
real life tbe wTOnged woman is the problem
that faces the reformer at every corner, un-
clean and commonplace, and, by virtue of its
very commonness and uncleanncss, the one
problem yet unconquered. Hers is the sole
figure about which in real life you can throw
none Of the softening shadows or half lights
which belong to il in fiction. The wronged
river which had drunk her down at last to
easeful death, is a something which wrings
our heart with pity; but Anonylna
alive, brazen, starving-what will you do
with her She has made for herself n
place, though on the very edge OF the pit, and
society (by which we here mean decent wo-
manhoOd) refuses with perhaps n reasonable
instinct of sef-prOtectiOn, 10 give her an inch

1t won't do hereafter to doubt the patriotic
impulses of our Representatives, whatever we
may think of their common sense. They nave
resolved that it is the proper thing to hold
the International Exhibition of Arts and Manu-
factrres with which it is proposed to celebrate
the Centennial Anniversary of independence
at Philadelphia because the Declaration was
signed there. But it requires something more
than sentiment to make an enterprise OF this
sort successful, and Philadelphia lacks most
of those practical and needful requirements.

Gov. Randolph, too, is after the railway

The latest Canadian outrage on our fishing
vessels resulted in the seizure of schooner
which had put into port for safety during a
storm, and being thus found within three miles
of the shore was held subject to fine. we
have only one side of the story as yet and
our Canadian friends may have some good
excuse for the arbitrary conduct of their oiii-
cials; but at present it looks as if we had a
grievance in this case worthy at least OF
prompt investigation by the Government.

Senator sherms4s Wealfha

The stories so persistently circulated
that Senator Sherman has become very
wealthy, are untrue. The Senator is a
frugal and thrifty man. He : has no
children, and was a lawyer in good
practice and in possession of some small
but judicious investments when he en-
tered public life. He has lived within
his means, and has given Intelligent
attention to his private affairs during q
long service in Congress, He has new
er had any connection with Jay Cooke,
and there is not a particle of testimony
that he has ever taken advantage OF
his official position to enter into corrupt
understanding or questionable specula-
tions with anybody. The assertion
that we find two or three times a, week
that he is millionaire is absurd. He
made, several years ago. fortunate
purchase Of real estate, and it Is, possi-
BILE he has u few thousand dollars in
bonds and stocks. The sum of the val
ueof his property, we have reason to
believe, is less than one hundred thou
sand dollars, Whatever exceptions
may be taken to his public career the
nonsense about his great wealth should
be, dispensed with.-[ Ginci'uoti Cone

tiOn of his descent into a mine. The
tripiwas made in a large bucket lower
sd by machinery, and he went eleven
hundred feet under ground in such
haste as to almost take way his sens
es. He also minutelyi described the
manner of extracting quartz, and the
various processes it was put through
before arriving at ! a proper state for
use. Theihot and cold mineral waters
of the Rocky Mountains were also de-
,scribed, and the Colonel prophesied
that it would one day be the fashion
for the aristocracy Of Europe to. visit
these Springs for pleasure. 5il+slst.
The Colonel closed his highly enter
tanning address by remarking that he
WAS never beaten bat twice in his life.
The first occasion was during the late
war. The command to which he was
attached was placed under the fire of a
federal battery which had been captur-
ed by the Rebels. By lying down on
their stomachs the men sought to avoid
the iron hail, and being partially shell
tered by q rising knoll. behind which
they were reclining, their efforts to es-
cape bodily harm were quite successful
The artillery was trained to bear upon
them so accurately however that they
could feel the heat Of the red hot cam
nOn-balls and shfapnei which wereshow
cred over them. Upon that day. his
thickness of body appeared to have
materially diminished, and his COM
rades were no thicker than he was.
The only wholesome respect he ever
entertained for the Southern COnfeder-
acy was incl1lcated into him On that
occasion. The second time he must
acknowledge having his courage disap-
pear was upon, the occasion Of his being
caught in q whirlwind among the rock
yMountains. He and his guide were
forced to load their carriage with stones
tie their. horses to trees and stretch
their own bodies upon the earth,
while the wind swept about them
and covered them with sand about two
inches in thickness. In Georgetown
among the mountains, the inhabitants
had their houses bound to the ground
by iron tires imbedded in the earth,

misfortune that had befailen them, by
which their entire village had been
