FRANCE.
That EternaI Roman Ouestion.

VERSAILLES, March 22.-The galleries
Of the Assembly were crowded with specta-
tors this morning in expectation of the de-
bate on Catholic petitions which had been
posponed until to-day. Dupanloup, Bishop
of Orleans, rose to open the discussion but
yielded the tribune to Theirs who proceeded
to address the Chambers.
His speech was plea for further post
ponement of the debate. He deprecated
the discussion which he declared could not
by any possibility serve the interest Of the
Holy See. He assured the deputies that
the policy of the government on the Roman
question, as announced last year, was I'M
changed.
The independence of the Holy See was
dear to France, who had always defended
and would continue to defend it; but any
discussion now Of the petitions before the
Chamber would seriously embarrass the
Government while it could not benefit the
Holy Father.
Dupauloup said he would not insist on
speaking after the appeal made by the Pre-
sident. Easily reconcling the feel
ings of the Frenchman he cOmprehended
the respect due to the misfortunes of
France. The policy which had proved
fatal to France had also been fatal to the
See of Rome.
The Assembly then by large majority
decided not to continue the debate.

sELLTNG a NEwsPAPER.

The Missouri Democrat, the Grant organ
at St. Louis, was sold yesterday afternoon
according to a decree of the Circuit Court,
rendered some days ago. The sale was by
auction, but in a private way, only those
having. an interest in the newspaper estab-
lishment, their counsel, shorthand repor-
ter and three personal friends
of each member of the firm being
present. The bidding was started by
Mr.. Fishback at 100000 and rapidly ad-
vanced to SS5S,OOO, after which the bids
were small. At the end of about two
hours, the paper was knocked down to Mr..
{. Fishback at S456,100. One half of the
amount less Fishback's one-third interest
in the establishment under the old arrange
ment, will be paid to-day at noon, the re-
mainder in three and six months with ap-
proved security at six per cent interest. 1t
is understood that company, in which
Mr.. Fishback will have a controlling
interest, will be formed at once to
run the paper. The politics remain
unchanged and the staff will be
continued as before the sale. Mr.. j. B.
Mccullough, formerly editor-in-chief of the
Chicago Republican, viii remain managing
editor of the Democrat, with Messrs. Davis
and Gilson as assistant editors. Mr.. Nc
Cullough, better known as "Mack," Of the
Cincinnati Commercial, and afterwards
managing editor of the Cincinnati Enquirer,
is a brilliant and versatile writer, but ex-
ceedingly virulent and abusive towards his
political opponents. Under his manage
ment the Democrat viii undoubtedly be a
live and racy journal, and maintain its po-
sition as the leading Grant organ west of
the Alississippi.

The Brooklyn Eagle publishes an inter-
view with Stokes, the murderer of Fisk,
who says that Hank Smith was made Po-
lice Commissioner by the money of the
Erie ring, for the purpose of securing con-
troll of the police in case of need. He
charges that the indictment against him
self (Stokes) for conspiracy was a put up
job between the Erie ring and District
Attorney Garvin and procured on
the evidence of prostitutes and dis
charged English convicts, and that
over ten millions of fraudulent
vouchers now exist in the archives of the
Erie Company. Stokes says he has seen
millions of money divided, and that the
spoils week regularly apportioned whenever
dlvide-up was made.

The horse disease, which first made its ap-

having spread rapidly over Lower Canada, two
weeks ago crossed the border at Buffalo, and
thence with astonishing rapidity spread east

New York City on Saturday aud Sunday o..
600 horses were affected with the disease and
in Boston and other New England cities the
proportion was hardly less. The result was as
annoying as it was serious. Nearly all the
street railways were stopped, with the stages
carriages and hacks, for human CONVEYANCE
as well as the drays and express wagons for
the conveyance of goods and luggage. In
Boston numerous OK teams from the neighbour
