A New WAY To SETTLE OLD DEBTS
Some time ago pper-colored gentle
man known in the precincts of Hell's
Halfacre as Robert Stewart, had law
suit with another Larty which was
decided against him. At this time Rob
ert was keeping clearinghouse on
DeSoto street, and knowing that his
household goods and furniture would be
levied on, as he had nothing else, he
went deliberately home, and gathering
up an ak, chopped all the chairs and
tables into splinters, smashed all the
crockery, and, by the time he got Through,
had scarcely left dollars worth of
property on the place. For this sort Of
disorderly conduct Robert was consigned
to the changing, where he served his
term, and was this morning brought be-
fore Squire Elliott on State warrant.
He was bound over to appear before the
Grand Jury, and had to go back to Jail.

ITALY AND FRANCE,

In the last few weeks, a discussion has
arisen simultaneously in the Partisan and
Italian Press with regard to the election of q
new Pope, which offers an odd contrast in both
tone and temper. Pho Nono's health is no more
infrm than usual we believe but the Lib
eral journals have made the subject. of his
anticipated decease peg on which to display
in the sight of all men their religious opinions.
1t cannot be the most agreeable of sensations,
in any case, to read ones own obituary; and
we think it especially hard that the Pope
who, aside from all sacerdotal character is
said to be comfortable, easy-going old gen.
tleman, with thorough old bachelors love of
clean linen, jokes, and petty kindnesses-
should be forced to read the epitaph over
both himself and his Office, which the Italian
loyal papers take keen delight in inscribing
with variations day after day.
Whether the Governments have or have not
the right to interfere in the election of a new
Pope, is a question which, after all, concerns
Prussia most nearly, and which Bismarck will
probably settle for himself when the emer
gency arises, after the fashion with which
Napoleon Strengthened the new crown on his
own head. Prussia, so far, has preserved an
almost cOntemptuOus silence in the matter.
lie Monde echoes very fairly the alarm and
devotion with which the smaller devout jour
nails hasten to reasSert the "rightful inviOla-
"bility of union between Church and State"
The claim of Prussia to interfere it holds to
be simply ridiculous. "Inspired by the Holy
"Ghost,n the right of the Church is supreme
/" and Independent; she is free in her choice"
However, lie Monde acknowledges that, when
the Church found Obedient children in the
Kings of Europe, she took their wishes into
account. Such was the origin of what was
called the EgcluSire. But what has Protestant
Prussia, headed by that man of sin, Bismarck,
done to share in this sacred electiOnP Out
sders very naturally question, what indeedf
But if the Papal organs mutter defiance,
Victor Emmanuel's Press faunt every red rag
and below for war. La Perseverance,, at Milan,
declares that "the Government has created such
&" an atmosphere around the Roman Curia as
ait knows will render it blindly furious in
its acts. 1t will not find any incentive to
hope for its salvation by other means than
that of war to the knife" The election of
Cardinal PanebancO, the strictest of cOnser
vatives, would for this reason, not only be in
consonance with Plus ks expressed wish, but

ing the forcible solution which they so earnestly

SEVENTY-FTVE THOUSAND DOLLARS
WORTH or HATRED

President Grant has taken $4,000 from the
national treasury to buy certain documents
from the Confederate archives. His apOlOgists
said that the papers were necessary to prevent
fraudulent claims upon the United States by
pretended loyalists, although it does not ap-
near that the Government has been much en-
barrassed by claims of that nature, or is likely
to be. But the use which the President is
making of his very dear purchase has already
given the lie to the statements OF his apollo
gists. He has selected the only document
which seems to be of particular interest, and
has given it to the world. 1t has no reference
whatever to any possible claims, nor even any
historical importance, since the story it tells
WAS known before and happily almost forgot
ten. Its publication can have but one effect
TO revive bitterness in the Northern mind, and
postpone that hearty reconciliation between
the two sections of our country which every
patriot ought TO strive to promote. And no
man can doubt that such precisely was the
Presidents purpose in causing the report OF
Jacob Thomson to be reprinted at this june
ture.
President Grant confesses then that his
policy is one of hatred and discord. The best
way 10 secure his election is to widen the
breach between North and South, to awaken
the slumberiDg animosities of the war, to call
up the black spirit of revenge, to remind us
of all that we suffered ten years ago, to
1epeat all the hard language and insults that
were banded from side to side in those
miserable DAYS to count over the foJses that
were long ago repaired, and tear open the
wounds that are healed If he had his way
the blackened ruin should stand forever, the
fields of the Potomac and the James should
go untitled, the desolation of the battle
ground should stare US constantly in tho
face, and remind us to hold the South as
an enemy, and to vote for Grant. The plots
of Thompson and his incendiarics should be
retOld at every election. The orators and
journalists Of the Administration should 10

ANOTHER CARMICHAEL QUEST.

Another journal heretofore undstnguished
by enterprise has followed the lead of The Herald
in quest for a great undiscovered public
character. The Evening Post fired by noble
emulation of its big cotemporary's ex-
petition in search of Livingstone, has, at great
expense of personal feeling, sent out search
for the famous Carmichael of Otsego County.
With what dubitatiOn the conductors of the
only New-York Grant newspaper pretending
to decency sent forth their venture, we leave
discriminating public to judge. Let it be sufficient
to say that the mission appeared in Unadilla,
where Mr. Lewis Carmichael the Great Un-
known, called by Grants O1gn SIanderer =" sort
of blatherskite," is said to reside. Due de-
scriptiOn is given of the classic locality of
Rogers Hollow and its Jackson men, its tenn

trowsers; though whether they be baeqy

"behind the back" the indignant chronicIer
saith not. No wonder, then, that this man,
who conceals his face from those with whom
"he chooses not to have any dealingsn by
wearing broad-brimmed hat is further
described as having disreputabIe appearance.
Small need has the keen-eyed reporter to 90

AS the evidence in the Barnard trial comes
in the gaps which have existed in the structure
of the case, so far as the public can sec, are
closed. Yesterday, for instance, among the
other useful witnesses examined was Andrew
j. Garvey, the Supreme Plasterer, whose tes-
timony was chiefly addressed to tho points OF
contact between Barnard aud the corrupt
Tammany Ring. The Judge confidently as
serted to Garvey that he had the consent OF
Tweed to use all the Tammany tools; he could
have anything done that he wanted. whether
it was voting or plastering. The princlpai

NAV be certain that the Pickett documents
will will be searched for horrible disclosures of
Confederate plots, and if anything more can
be extracted from them to fan into hame the

were bought for this purpose.
What else has President Grant to depend
unops with reunion of the separated States,
and the final establishment of general am

sbin must inevitably fall. He has no hope of
retaining power unless he can keep open the
bloody chasm which has 80 long divided us.
For him perpetuation of the era of animosity
is a political necessity. But the American peo-
pie yearn for peace and good will, and they
welcome the movement for reconciliation with
an earnestness at which the Administration
cannot disguise its alarm.

PREFERS SUBTRACTION.

Mr.. Titan D. COifey was for some years the
Assistant Attorney General of the United
States under the administration of President
Lincoln. Subsequently he practiced his profes-
sion for years in the Supreme Court of the
United States and since then has been for
some years abroad. From London he now
writes to us, on hearing for the first time OF
the amazing letter addressed to him by Mr..
William II. Kemble, the Pennsylvania member
of the Grant National Committee, introducing
to his acquaintance a lobbyist recommended
as understanding addition, division, and
" sence.n Mr. COffey never received the letter
in fact it has been put in evidence by its
writer that it was never delivered by Evans,
a letter to responsible lawyer not being of
use to that wOrthy-and Mr.. Coffey earnestly
desires to have his name dssociated with
the document. His plea is very natural,
and we commend it to the attention of
the public. At the same time we commend
again the letter itself. 1t casts too strong, if
also rcpulsive, light upon the doings of that
Ring in Pennsylvania which now aspires to
renew its lease of power on the State, and
through it over the nation, to be lost from the
canvass it does so much to make plain. Re-
member that the writer of the letter is the
representative of Pennsylvania on the Grant
National Committee, where he doubtless thinks
his Office to be TO put in practice the principles
which he here indicates as marking the line
of his conduct:
