The CHURCH OF ROME AND THE STATE
AUTHORITY OF SwrrzERLAND.-At telegram from
Rome, forwarded to us by cable, reports that
Pope Plus the Ninth has resolved to defend
the Vatican position on the question of the
appointment Of Monsignor Gaspard Mormil-
iod, cure of Geneva, MS Roman Catholic
Bishop of the See of Hebron, in the East,
with exercise Of personal episcopal authority
under such designation and foreign commits
sion within the territory of the Swiss Repub-
lie. Monsignor Mermillod is jealous cham
pion Of the dogma of infallibility. The Swiss
civil power, cantonal in Geneva and federal in
Berne, is unanimous in the direction of an
executive legal opposition to his assumption of a
mitred power within the Nmain of the Repub-
lie, under such circumstances. We append
to our news telegram special history of the
relative claims of the contending parties. The
point involved in the quarrel is one of the
very greatest and most direct importance 60
the constituted governments Of the Christian
world, and Geneva is most suitable place for
its final solution.

land.
From the announcement just made and
communicated through our special telegram
from London, that the Bank of England had
increased its specie four hundred and five
thousand pounds on Thursday it looks as if
there had been little fnessing between that
institution and the Bank Of France or the
French government II will be remembered
that President Theirs offered lately to relieve
the specie pressure of the Bank of England by
transferring from the Bank of France four
hundred thousand pounds This wa, declined !;
but the authorities of the Bank of England
said at the same time to President
Theirs that there was no objection
to that amount being received as special de-
post. The object Of the French President
or Bank of France was not, however, to
make deposit, but to facilitate the payments
on the French loan and at the same time to
make matters easy with the Bank of England.
But on Wednesday the Bank of France for
warded four hundred thousand sovereipns to
the London Banking Association, and more
was going, IL was said, and then the next day
we learn that the bullion of the Bank of
England had been increased just the amount
transmitted from France to the London
Banking Association. We suppose. therefore,
that the object of President Theirs has been
accomplished and the Bank of England re-
lieved and its scruples overcome by the round
about way OF using the London Banking Asso-
citation as a medium

The Address OF General Ducrot to tn
French Army.

French Army.
Nothing wins more lasting respect for an
individual or q nation than to bear misfortune
with calm dignity. When France, after q
gallant, if not heroic, resistance to the over.
whelming power of Germany, accepted the
result Of the war which Napoleonism had pro-
voked, the frankness with which her people
acknowledged their error and defeat excited
sympathy n quarters where none was felt
while the struggle continued. Up to the
present the nation, as whole, has main
tanned the same wise reserve as to the
issues Of the war, while making
strenuous efforts to free the soil of
France from the presence of the German
troops Of occupation. Whatever may be
the feeling Of the people toward their con-
querors it would show lack of good sense
and good taste unworthy Of q great people to
make an exhibition Of impotent hate, which
would only expose France to further outrage
without any compromising advantages. 1t has
remained for General Ducrot to make the mis-
take of addressing words of menace to the
ooAuioAo WIZ VaHqulSHcu Hllu III Ialr uSnt. III
an address to the soldiers under his command
he seized the opportunity to say that the
Germans would repent the forcible an
nexation of Alsace and Lorraine. Most
thoughtful people are of Ducrots opinion;
but he ought not to have uttered what sounds
like threat. For though no one can justly
be held liable except Ducrot himself, yet by
his rash words he has compromised the army.
The immediate result can scarcely fail to be
injurious to French credit by shaking the con-
idence Of capitalists in the continuance OF
peace. 1t is chiefly, however, to be regretted
as showing that the old spirit of brag is not
yet dead among Frenchmen. Unless such silly
exhibitions of bad taste are rendered impos-
sible by healthy public opinion we should
almost despair of the salvation of France
And if ever Alsace and Lorraine shall be re-
covered il will be by race Of men who have
too much sense and too much self-respect to
invite insult they are not in position to re-
sent. We hope that President Thiers will
mark his strong condemnation of the course
adopted by Ducrot, and teach the General that
under republic soldiers cannot be peruitted

jects, and endorsed Mr.. Havemeyer but that
venerable citizen will find that the ways of
politicians are darker and more intricate now
than they were quarter of century ago.
Already everybody but himself can see that he
is to be sacrificed by the managers, and that
James o. Brien is to be "run OUT of the re-
publican boxes in return for similar favor
from Apollo Hall for the republican Presiden-
tial and State tickets. Reformers who may
support Mr.. Havemeyer in good faith may
discover when too late that they have thrown
away their votes to help to power q new city
ring, whose "boss," if we are to credit the
politicians, will be Tom Murphy whose head
quarters will be transferred from a municipal
to federal office, and whose Jewels will be
Jenny" O Brien, "Shed" Shook, and per-
son whom the same authorities designate by
the title of "Decoy'' Bliss. This we say, is
the story of the politicians, and, on the prin-
ciple of setting q thief to catch a thief. we do
not see why they should not be worthy of be.
lief, at least on such subject as this. For
whatever of good or evil may ensue from this
new combination Mr.. Havemeyer will be nc.
countable. His eleventh-hour candidacy has
rendered the result Of the Mayoralty con-
test doubtful and impeached the sincerity Of
the Committee of Seventy. Nothing but the
REIMBURSEMENT of his ill-timed ambition and
the withdrawal Of his name can restore conf
dence in his reform professions and render
the election Of Mr.. Lawrence absolutely GER
tain.
The New York herald., 1872-11-02

if you will only take care to vote on the right
side!
These are fair specimen Of the appeals that
have been made to the citizens of New York
since the real work of the present municipal
campaign commenced, and they may well con-
fuse those not familiar with the tricks Of am
bilious politicians and confirm the growing
belief that the whole pretended reform move
ment is an impudent fraud. Last year the
work of redeeming the city government from
the hands of dishonest officials was accom-
plished by the people, not by the politicians;
and the former, in their indignation against
the plunderers, were Indifferent as to who
might secure the offices. AS the democratic
organization in the city was then controlled by
Tweed and his associates, the candidates neces-
sarily came from the republican party and
were supported and elected by the people in
good fath, regardless Of their political senti-
ments. 1t is needless now to comment on the
character Of the men to whom the public
trusts were then transferred. The notorious
corruption Of the State Legislature, with its
three-fourths majority of professed reformers,
10 iumilluE W ul OuE Te6uerS, ana re-
cent developments have shown that
acts of questionable official propriety may be
committed with impunity behind the mask of
reform. This year the people desired to CON-
plete the work commenced year ago, and to
restore the compactness and efficiency of the
city government The politicians, as usual
took up the reform cry for their own purposes,
and each side claimed monopoly of the
virtue. If the reform organizations had acted
impartially between them the result would not
have been doubtful. As it is we have trian-
gular fight for Mayor, while the air is thick
with rumors of trades, bargains and frauds
upon the franchise. the suspicion of which
could never attach to an honest reform move
ment.
The duty of those who believe that our
municipal elections should be held aloof from
