The Church in Danger.


The Catholic Church, according to despatch
which we publish to-day, is menaced by a
new peril. Forty gentlemen, having apparently
appointed themselves representatives OF the
various German-speakng branches OF the
Church, met at Heidelberg on Sunday and
instructed committee to draw up new con-
stitution for the German Catholic Church.
They declared open war to Rome and pro-
nounced for highly revolutionary doctrines.
If we knew who these gentlemen were we
should be better able to tell whether the
Church of Rome is now really and positively
for the last time-she has been ''g0ing, going
so often before--about to be broken up ana
annihilated. When names are not given,
however, we suspect that only nobodies have
put in an appearance; and forty nobodies are
scarcely likely to overturn even what we are
told by certain people is so feeble and decrepit
an institution as the Latin Catholic Church.
The keynote of the conference seems to have
been Dollnger's first declaration that 1t was
inconsistent with German dignity to acknowl-
edge, except in sort of nominal manner,
the supremacy of Latin church. But
where was Dolinger himself? If he
had himself been at the conference we
think we should certainly have heard
of it, aud if be had delivered an address to the
delegates the HERALD correspondent would
have telegraphed it uerbdtim. We think, there
fore, that he was absent, especially as we know
from reliable sources that he has rejected,
with expressions of indignation and sorrow,
every attempt to connect him with schsm in
the Church.
The conference especially aims at fixing the
status Of the Pope at what it was laid down to
be by the Council of Constance. That Coun-
Gil, convened in corrupt aud unenlightened
age, when, alas! bad men had invaded the
Church and seized upon her chief seats of
power by force and fraud found it necessary
to depose two popes, one other resigning TO:
reasons deemed sufficient by himself. To do
this they stretched the authority of general
council beyond its legal bounds, and perhaps
they were justified by necessity in their
action. But in these days. when bad pope
is scarcely likely to be elected, and ant-popes
are unknown, and when public opinion is the
supreme force on earth, the Church has deter
mined to assert the full prerOgatives of the
Vicar of Christ. 1t has done so after mature
elaboration, and we scarcely think the action
of forty nobodies is likely to upset its decision.

The Algerian Insurrectiou.

The insurrection in Algeria is, in spite of
all official accounts, reviving with great in
tensity. The revolt is attributed by the
French journals TO series of il-advised mea-
sures adopted after the 4th of September,
which are said to have excited the discon-
tent Of the natives. From all past and
present accounts 1t appears, however, that
the rising has deeper cause. The fact is
that the Arabs have never been able to adapt
themselves to French civilization, and the
French, who never yet accomplished any great
results 10 the way Of colonizing, have hitherto
failed TO adapt their rule to the peculiar wants
of the natives. Hence never ceasng wars
between the Algerines and their conquerors.
No doubt the French will be able to put down
the present revolt by the aid of considerable
force--say about $4,000 men-but whether
they can maintain steady hold on the couE-
try by any other means than military occupa-
ton must be seriously questioned. The
gravity and extent of the revolt
may be judged from the fact that
q special council Of war met yesterday at
Versailles. when it was resolved to emplov

The Cholera On Its March.

Our mail advices as well as the cable
dispatches of late, have spoken to us words
of warning against the approach of cholera.
1t is now q we'll established fact that ''the
epidemic is prevalent more or less at various
parts in West, Central and East Russia in
Europe" On the 9th utimo the appre-
hended approach of cholera was the subject
Parliament. Quoting from the report of the
Registrar General of England, it was shown,
in the course of the debates, that the Asiatic
cholera is entering Western Europe through
Russia, and is now advancing on the German
frontiers. In the second week of July it broke
out in Wilkowyszki, a town in Poland, where,
in the course of few days, thirty victims
marked its deadly effect In wilma, another
Polish town, the contagion prevails, and up
to the latest accounts the average number Of
deaths has been from ten to fifteen daily. For
four or five weeks this state of affairs has pre-
vailed in that city. At the rate at which the
disease has travelled we may at any moment
expect to hear of its appearance in Germany,
and once there its march into France will not
be long delayed. In this last-named country
it would meet every encouragement, espe-
cially in the districts tramped over by the
contending hosts of Germany and France
during the late war; The thinly covered
graves Of the French battle fields with their
thousands of half inferred corpses, the cities
and towns whose sanitary regulations have
been neglected during the prevalence of
foreign war and domestic strifes, are all but
poorly prepared to meet the slow but unerring
advance of this terrible foe of mankind. 1t
was, no doubt with these facts before his eyes
that Earl Kimberley, in the House Of Lords,
argued that the present was the time ''to
adopt precautions, when not under the inf1u-
ence of panic" against the appearance Of
cholera, ''though it was usually then that any
thing was done by local authorities to abate
nuisances and take the precautions within our
power"
1t is with the same object that we now
raise our voice, not as alarmists, but in order
that every necessary measure may be adopted
to save Our city from danger which may at
any moment threaten it. 1t is not enough to
have rigid quarantine regulations that is only
one of the remedies Clean streets, healthy
tenements, good waterfall are necessary to
guard against the attacks Of the pestilence.
So far there is no danger but let us not rest
in fancied security which may deceive us.
Timely precautions must be adopted, aud to
the health authorities do we look for the en-

THE WORLDS MUSICAL JUBILEE.

The musical peo pie OF the country will feel CRATE

Mr. Gilmore's magnificent plan for great interns-
tonal musical jubilee. to be held In Boston nexs
june in which chorus OF 200 voices. 1000 IN

tlfeir political schemes. But this new depart
ure from the North came down upon these
men and their followers like wet blanket.
1t excited the Indignation and disgust of many
of them, and the Indifference of many more,
touching the Presidential succession. ''Are
these spurious amendments the best thing the
Northern democracy can do for TSP" ask these
enraged Southern malcontents. ''Negro
equality and negro suffrage-is this the enter
tainment to which we are invited? Then we
will have none of it. Give us your constitu-
tional platform of 1868, gentlemen. or we
take our own course. We will not follow you
into this surrender to radicalsm."
The effect of these things is visible, we say,
in our election reports from North Carolina
and Kentucky. They indicate general
Southern apathy in regard to the national
democratic cause, from which 1t is probable
General Grant will carry most, if not all, but
two or three Of the Southern States next
year. This new departure of the Northern
democracy, in word, cuts the South from
under their feet. Undying hostility to these
az" "nA0nu"'Suso, VII ONcTeuIoWu VI huiiiHoA,
was the strong bond which held the Southern
to the Northern democracy. Now this bond
is broken, and vain will be any attempts to
patch it together again. Nor does this new
departure appear to be q democratic success
in the North. The old BOurbons despise 1t,
and the young Bourbons who still adhere to
the constitution of Buchanan, denounce it and
spit upon it. Meantime, since the dropping
of his st. Domingo hobby horse, and particu-
larly since the ratification of the ''great
treaty." General Grant has been going on so
smoothly and 80 satisfactorily with his admin
istration as to put down and extinguish all
such feeble rivals for the succession as
Sumner, Trumbull, Gratz Brown, Logan,
Fenton and Greeley. Aud among the masses
of his party Grant, from his policy of peace,
stands as firmly established for another term
as was Lincoln in his day from his faithful
prosecution of the war;
North Carolina and Kentucky have shown
that the Southern democracy have lost their
enthusiasm on this new departure. Vermont
and Maine will speak in September, and from
all the signs of the times, including our late
Orange procession and Tammany Hall, the
results in Vermont and Maine will not be very
encouraging to the democracy, looking to the
effect of their new departure in the October
elections of Pennsylvania and Ohio.

The Suspension of Pleasonton.

General Pleasonton was suspended from his
position as Commissioner of Internal Revenue
yesterday, and j. W. Douglass, the Assistant
ad interim. We stated in The HERALD
last week, it will be remembered that the
Cabinet meeting had determined upon this
measure in order to secure harmonious work
ing between the Commissioner and the
Secretary of the Treasury. The Presidents
hurried visit to Washington yester-
day was for this purpose. General
Pleasonton was first served with request to
resign, but declined to do 80, holding that the
cause was a personal one between him and
Secretary Boutwell,, and he would not admit
his own error in the matter by resigning until
the law officers of the government had decided
him to be in the wrong. Upon this refusal
the President issued the notice of suspension,
appointed Mr.. Douglas to act in the place and
General Pleasonton gracefully turned the
Office over to him without demurrer.
The case resembles, in some respects, the
famous Stanton war upon President Johnson,
and has the law and the precedent of that case
to support it. Under that law, which was
undoubtedly bit of malicious legislation
against President johnson, no reno val could
be effected during the session of Congress,
and it was under its authority that Senator
Sumner, at the inception of the War Depart
ment trouble, wrote that sententious
note to Stanton, ''Stick." General Pleas
onton, with more regard for the constituted
authorities, has declined to stick or barri-
cade himself in his room like Stanton, and
Mr.. Douglas has been smoothly indicted into
office without having, like the famous 0d
interim Thomas to stand guard on the door
step, watching for chance to get into the
Office

1t is not often that respectable gentleman
gets into 80 much trouble as Mr.. Henry
Stuyvesant, of No. 1877 Reade street, New
York, is represented by the newspapers to
have got into at Niagara Falls recently, nor is
it often that such cool brutality and extortion
have been exercised even at that notorious
watering place as seem to have been prac-
tised upon him. His offence was nothing,
unless showing a queer toy trick to an
Indian woman on Goat Island is an offence
For nothing else apparently detective
nabbed him, conveyed him to prison, without
listening to or asking any explanation, carried
him in handouts past all the leisurely idlers
on the hotel piazzas, and finally let him 60,
after few hours in cell, on payment of
thirty dollars, all attempts to get an additional
instalment in the way Of jewelry proving a
failure. The only explanation this jealous
detective chose to give his bewildered victim
in regard to his arrest was the remark,
81 know you; you cant fool me. y
This was of course unsatisfactory, for
Mr.. Stuyvesant is convinced that he
did not know him. AS it stands now, Mr..
Stuyvesant is determined to fathom the mat
ter, and have little satisfaction from the man
who claimed to know him so well. But the
moral, which we feel bound to append to this
story, is caution to the authorities at Niagara
Falls not to let the ruinous extortion of every
body at that interesting wonder drive all
visitors and traffic from the place.

Mr. DIsRAEII had a furious fling at his rival
in power in the House of Commons yesterday
He charged Mr.. Gladstone with bad leader
ship, with reckless waste of time and useless
invocation of the royal prerogative in the
abolition of the purchase system in the army
The irate Premier was stung to one Of those
rageful sallies which Mr.. Disraeli once
aptly called bis 'plgrimnges of pas
sion" He said that ''Mr. Disraelis
so-caled facts are simply the offspring of his
imagination, which was giving, in a round
about way, the lie direct to the leader of Her
Majesty's opposition. He hurled back the
charge of having wasted the time of the
House, attributing the unnecessary delay to
the resistance Of the tories to electoral re-
form. After cross-fire of personal attacks
among the lesser lights of the House the
Ballot bill was passed 10 accordance with Mr.
Gladstones earnest solicitation.

energetic measures Tor the suppression OF the
instruction. NJ Theirs and Marshal Mac
Mahon were present and concurred In the
resolution. Fresh reinforcements are even
now on their way to Algeria, and the French
will doubtless make quick work of the resist
ing tribes. In the meantime the revolt is
raging with great fury in the Province of Con-
stantine, and both the French and the natives
distinguish themselves by massacres and
wholesale burning of habitatons.

Al A CHURCH Picnic NEAR ROCHESTER, on
Monday night. a strange tragedy occurred. A
young German girl was walking with gentle
man in the darker part of the grounds, when a
number OF young rowdies collected about
them, evidently with evil designs. The gen.
tleman, espying them, ANONYMOUSLY de-
camped, while the girl in her fright ran to-
ward the brink of a precipice and fell over
distance of seventy-fve feet to the dry
bed of the river below, where she was found
dead, with her neck broken. There ia great
deal of rowdyism at nearly all picnics, even
those of religious societies, but we have not
heard of 80 sad case as this at any of them.
There should be at all our city picnics full
force Of policemen, not only In the dancing
ball, but in the open grounds, to prevent any
rowdyism.

The EVIDENCE TAKEN BY THE CORONER
relative to the death of Mr. Deltour, who was
killed by being thrown from Second avenue
car by rowdies on Sunday night week ago,
confirms the first impression that il was the
deliberate work of roughs bent on riot and
murder. They first commenced abusing the
driver, who promptly retaliated, and then they
made an indiscrmnate assault, throwing Mr..
Deltour and another passenger and the driver
under the car wheels. Luckily only one death
has so far occurred, The roughs are still at
large.

THR FRENCH WAR BUDGEr.-The war
budget in France has been increased two hun
dred and seventy -one millions of francs. Is
not this loading poor France little too
heavily? If France bears it patiently it
means that the idea Of yet taking vengeance
on Germany lie not yet abandoned. Is the
next generation to see, as we have seen-as
our fathers saw-France and Germany in
deadly conflict? II is not impossible.

ASST, the leading spirit Of the International
Society, and Ferre, one of the shining lights of
the Commune who is said to have fred the
palace of the Minister of Finance, have at last
appeared before the court martial at Yer
sailles. The confinement they have already
suffered does not appear to have broken their
proud spirits. They defied the Court and had
to be reprimaudcd. Both Asst and Ferre prob
ably anticipate a severe doom, and do not
think it worth while to waste any sweetness
upon their judges.

The Bonapartes In Switzerland and Spain.

1t is again rumored that the ex-Emperor
Napoleon is making preparations to go to
Switzerland, there, for a time, at least, to
take up his abode. Are we to take it for
granted that the ex-Empress will at the same
time set out for her magnificent and newly
acquired possessions in Spain? Eugene spent
in Spain the happiest days Of her young life.
1t is not unnatural that she should seek to
return to the scenes of her childhood. 1t is
not forgotten that Napoleon was, when q
young exile, admitted TO the rights of citi-
zenship in Switzerland, aud that there,
with biz mother and bis brother, the time
rolled pleasantly on. Why should he not go
back and revive some of his early memories
The breaking up of the establishment at Cbisel-
hurst seems to mean that for the present all
hope Of the restoration of the empire is aban-
doned. But why should the ex-imperial
family be divided? Ia it for political pur.
poses? Which is to have charge of the Prince
Imperial? In Switzerland the Emperor will
be conveniently situated to his friends in the
event of any opportunity for action presenting
itself; and in Spain the Empress, who in all
likelihood will remain in charge of the Prince,
will run no risk Of being disturbed We are
more disposed to regard this rumored breaking
mp Of the ex-mperial household in political
light than as the result Of any division of
sentiment between the illustrious but now ap-
parently ill-starred couple. Time will so on
reveal the truth.
