THE NEXT PAPAL ELECTION.
from the Inter Ocean.

In view of Plus the Ninth's advanced
age and precarious health, as well as OF
the peculiar relations now existing be-
tween the spiritual and the temporal
powers, it is not strange that the next
papal election should already excite Sc
rious attention, especially in Germany.
The pope, it is charged, signed something
over two years ago bull prescribing, in
the event of his decease, the choice of a
successor, presente cada0ere, by those car
dinals who may happen to be a. Rome at
the time. The point thus raised is one
of the pravest Importance. Were Plus
the Ninth to die, which may not be for
many months though it may be within
the next twenty-four hours, Germany
Justly fears that her enemies will, under
the circumstances, elect a Freedman, or
an Italian with French sympathies. Such
new pontiff would use all the means the
world -wide organization of the Roman
hierarchy places at his command to form d
coalition of the European powers hostile
to the German empire. With political
object of this nature at stake, it would be
singular short-sightedness on the part
of the German statesmen to look quietly

And as the mouths rolled on, Geo.

of General Grant, if not in so many

GRANTS VIsIr TO ELKToN-The
placidity which has hitherto character
lied the proceedings ofthe federal Office
holders clique in Maryland has lately
been disturbed by the elimination Of
long threatened quasrel between Post
master General Creswell and Messrs.
Supervisor Fulton, Collector Thomas
and others at Baltimore. Collector
Thomas has complained Of the interfer-
ence Of Mr.. Creswell with the appoint
ments in his Custom House, aud has
informed Secretary Boutwell, that he
desires either to be allowed to crontrol
his own business or to be relieved Of
further responsibility for the acts of
persons appointed without his consent.
Mr.. Crcswell's invitation, which the
President accepted, to spend Sunday at
Elkton, was intended by the Postmaster
General to show his newly developed
enemies that he still preserves vica-
rious power behind the throne regarding
Maryland matters-Nep York Herald.
