One of our latest cable dispatches from Ber-
lin informs us that the government of Emperor
William has taken most decided ground re-
garding the hitherto unquestioned authority
of the Catholic Church. Recently, and mainly
in consequence of the DEGREES of the Vatican
Council, the Church in Germany has been
putting forth its strength, and excommunica-
tons have been frequent. Opposition TO the
Vatican DEGREES has, all over Germany, been
visited with accommodation. The Arch
bishop of Munich the Archbishop of Cologne,
and now, the Bishop of Ermaland, have each
tried their hands at accommodation. In every
case, however, so far as we know, the result
has been the same. The civil power has stood
by the unfortunate outcasts, and in spite of
the Church's frown the pay has gone on.
Dollinger and his friends still receive their
salaries in Bavaria. The recently exeom.

municated professors of the University of Bonn
still lecture to their students and draw
their money as usual. And now the Bishop OF
Ermaland, and all other bishops who, in any
way come under the control of Prince Bis
marck are told that ''sentences of excommuni-
cation against German subjects clash with the
civil law and affect unfavorably the social
status, and that, henceforth, before such SEN
fences are pronounced, the consent Of the gov
eminent must be obtained" The Bishop OF
Ermaland is further informed that failure in
the discharge Of this part Of his duty twill
lead to the withdrawal by the government OF
its recognition of his ecclesiastical functions.
1t is no longer to be denied that in Germany,
at least, the Vatican Council has brought forth
fruit Bismarck has done more than conquer
France-he has conquered the Catholic forces
of Germany So long as the civil power
stands by the communicated the Vatican
must thunder in vain. In the land OF Luther,
it is not impossible, we may have another
Reformation.

failure of our diplomacy with Spain compels
General Grant to strengthen himself before
the country. We see in Mexico an extraordi-
nary condition of affairs. One of the loveliest
and richest nations on the earth is abandoned
to pauperism and the banditti, to social an
archy, misrule There is an absence of law,
order and religion. We have seen a people
claiming to represent one Of the oldest and
proudest races in Europe sink into condition
far beneath that of the ancient Aztec Indians
whose dominions were plundered and
stolen by Spanish armies. More than
that, this people. unable to keep the
peace OF home is unable to enforce
obedience to its international obligations.
Owing its existence as a republic to the
kindness and friendship of The United
States our frontiers are practically in state OF
war because Of the depredations of its people.
Nor do we see an end to it Revolution sue
ceeds revolution with endless rapidity; and in
the interest Of civilization, as well as lin the
interest of good government and law, pro-
tectorate or an occupation of the Territory is
demanded. Probably that cannot be done with
out the action of Congress. But General Grant
can do his share without waiting for Congress.
He has troops, and he can use those troops for
the protection of his frontiers. Let him send
few regiments to the Rio Grande and place
General Phil Sheridan in command. Let us
have no more triaing with those Mexican
border rufians. Give them Sheridan, and
give him authority, and he will settle them.
Sheridan on the Rio Grande would have a
moral effect upon Mexico of an instant and
salutary character, and would, we are pro-
foundry convinced, lead to revolution which
would only end when he entered the capital
Of the Montezumas as the Liberator and
Protector Of the Mexican people.

mopy of consecrating a new Bishop will be

Church Of the gorgeous ritual hangs around
Its notable nets The candidate on this occa-
Bion is the Rev. Father McNierney, who for the
past seventeen years has acted as secretary to
The chancellery of the archdiocese, under the
present Archbishop McCloskey and his pre-
ilecessor, the late Archbishop Hughes. He
bears, a high character among his fellow
churchinan for executive ability, and is an
accomplished Theological scholar and polyglot
The conservation will be conducted by Arch

Bishop Loughlin, of Brooklyn, and Bishop
Bacon, of Portland, Me. The sermon will be

cause he sought TO do regular and proper
thing in an irregular way.
But two enterprises in the line of our
manifest destiny remain, Cuba and Mex
leo. ST. Domingo is only postponed 1t will
come some time or other, with General Grant $
second term, if oil goes WELL As to Cuba, we
are no nearer annexation than we were under
Buchanan, when Robert J. Walker urged
that timid and venerable statesman to
make It's annexation the "war cry Of his adj
ministration. We might have found a way to
annexation through the present rebellion; but
the truth is Spain has held the island too
securely for us to have made demonstration
in that direction. The whole tone of the CORE
spondence of the Spanish government with our
Minister shows spirit of defiance towards the
United States which would be amusing and
could be attributed to the spirit of intolerant
and ignorant Castilian prided did we not know
that there are more Spanish ships-of-war guard
ing Cuba and swarming in the Mexican
and Central American seas than we have in
our whole navy, that we ore outmatched and
outnumbered at our own doors, and that Spain
may weil LOOK WIN scorn upon any expert
ments against the Ever Faithful Island II the
knowledge of this disparity has inspired the
caution Of General Grant he deserves great
honor. We certainly are not in a condition
to provoke naval war with Spain--a war
that in the. present unsettled condition of
Spanish politics would be extremely agreeable
to King Amadeus and the Sagasta Ministry.
We want Cuba, but the way to take the
island is through Mexico.
Every reason points rs towards Mexico
We have discussed Ahs selfish aspects of the
question We have shown how the deplorable
