tained that they will return to their allegiance.
The fact that they have discarded the
red flag of the Commune, and now dis
play the national colors, gives some
probability to this report. 1t would be idle
to attempt to deny or palliate the disastrous
state of things in the South and the threaten
ing aspect of the reactionary rebellion in the
North. But there is no warrant for
stating that the success of the Carlist cause
is assured by these deplorable occurrences,
and still less that the installation of this help
less tool of bigotry and prejudice in Madrid
is necessary for the protection of life and
property. If the Republicans succeed
in harmonzing their own quarels, even
at some sacrifice Of dignity, the de-
feat of the Carlists would still be an
easy task. If the lamentable dissensions OF
the last month should continue to weaken the
arm of the Government, so as to allow the
young Bourbon to enter the capital at the
head of his mob of mountaineers and adven-
turers, it will not bring peace into Spain, as
his American and English friends appear to
believe. He would find, not only in Carta-
gena, but in every Spanish city south of
Madrid, ready made insurrection on his
hands

one is going seriously to dispute), then the
Protestants are wrongly expelled from this
chapel. This is the principle in which the
public generally are interested. Nothing ls
more common in this country and in Europe
than for inmates of public institutions to wor-
shin in the same edifce, irrespective OF re-
ligions and sects Admit this separation OF
Catholic and Protestant worshipers IN the
institution on Wards Island to become pre-
cedent and we shall not only have other IN
stitutions clamoring for separate religious
maintenance (Which one OF the dlsDutan's
calls this provision of church, ana JuStines
it as the right of an immigrant), but each OF
the score of Protestant sects will possibly DC
demanding a chapel Of its own, If not TO Wor-
ship in, at least to dispute about. One instl-
tuition of the sort on Wards Island Is ample
for the purpose the simpler service OF tne
Protestants will not in any sense make that
of the Catholics less acceptable Indeed we
are clearly convinced that the throwing open
the doors of the chapel to all Christian sectS
will be an act of grace and charity, III lts
very nature truly religious. Let us, them nave
no further dispute about the rights OF sects'
but let larger Christianity prevail, and make
the chapel, which all the people pay for' Tree
to all who care to worship.

VTRGTNT1 POLITICS,

The mixed condition of politics is very well
illustrated in Virginia, where the State
campaign is just about opening with the
Republican Convention which meets to-day
at Lynchburg. The success of the Adj
ministratiOn party in carrying the State lor
Grant at the last Presidential election has
given announcement to the leaders In that
organization to hope for the election OF the
regular Republican State ticket and an Adj
ministration triumph in the approaching con-
test. This hope has led to quite animated
struggle between the friends of rival candl-
dates for the Gubernatorial nomination to-day.
The most prominent candidates are District
Attorney Robert w. Hughes and Mayor Ed
ward Mcmahon, q prominent railway con-
tractor Of Richmond. The Admlnistra-
ton forces are united upon Col. Hughes,
who carries the Richmond delegation
and majority of the Northern and Western
districts. The chances up to last night seemed
TO favor his success. His opponent Major
McMahon, is supported by that portion of the
Republican State Committee which, if not de-
cidedly opposed to the National Administra-
tlon is not entirelyin in accord with it.
There was some talk while ago OF the
venerable Henry A. Wise as poss bic mde-
pendent candidate for Governor, and that erratc
statesman came out in consequence OF it with
letter of great length, giving his views OF
politics, which seemed to differ from those
Of everybody else: It. Is !A.ss:s now init,
mated that Gov. Wise will support
the Administration State ticket with the un-
derstanding that he shall be elected United
States Senator by that party in the event of Its
being successful. The Conservative State
Convention is called to meet at Richmond on
the 9th of August. The canvass does not
promise any very exciting features, and there
| is little doubt of the success of the Conserva-
| tive candidates.

COMMUNISTS AND 2CARLLS1S.

It is possible That those intensely conserva-
tive people on both sides of the Atlantic who
are annoyed by the existence of q republic in
Europe may be somewhat too hasty in wash
ing the shroud of liberty in Spain. Lord En-
field, Under Secretary of State for Foreign
Affairs, being asked on Monday in Parliament
whether the Government intended TO recop-
nize the Carlists as belhgerents, replied that
"they were unquestionaby gaining ground,r
though not " yet entitled to formal recog-
nition. In fact, England occupies towards
the q insurrection . of y Don Carlos the
Same position in which she stood during our
war toward the Richmond Government. Mr..
Punch, walking down Pail Mall with Lord
Palmerston, and meeting Jefferson Davis.
says, r" Do Mt fyou know him :" ."Not yet,u
replies the wary statesman, /" though VIC NAV
"have to before long" Because the South
represented Slavery, 1t seemed the more re-
spectacle side to abolitionist England, and
because Don Carlos of Bourbon represents the
Inquisition and Divine Right, lie therefore
appears to the Protestant Power which
crushed the 'Armada more worshipful in
diyiduality than the democratic government
he is attempting to destroy. Good wishes and
god speeds to him in England are therefore
nothing wonderful. In this country they ex-
cite some surprise.
1t is as yet by no means certain that the
Communistic disturbances in Cartagena and
Seville are to result in favor of the Carlist
movement. In the latter city, the loyal troops
have attacked the mutineers and gained de-
cided advantage over them, 80 that tho sur
render of the city TO the National authorities
is anticipated. President Salmeron is said TO
be in telegaphic communication with the in

WrSTERy SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH.

We published on Saturday letter from our
correspondent with the Yellowstone Expedl-
ton; to-day we print one from Prof w. D..
Whitney Of Yale College, who is with Prof.
Haydens Exploring Expedition in Colorado,
and one from Prof. Marsh's Expedition in
Wyoming Territory. To the first-named of
these expeditions, scientific investigations are
of somewhat secondary consideration. The
second, that of Prof Hayden, is in pursuance
of geological and geographical survey Of Col
orado, for which Congress at its last session
appropriated $4,000. The third, Prof.
Marsh's, is entirely a private undertaking at
the expense of the persons composing the ex-
pedition, Government merely providing a
small military escort the object being purely
and exclusively archaeological research.
Both Prof. Hayden and Prof. Marsh have
been extraordinarily successful in previous
expeditions, and full description Of those
of the latter has been published in The
TRIBUNE.
Prof. Hayden's present field, the eastern
half of mountainous Colorado, promises
much that is of general and popular
interest, aside from merely scientific re-
suits. There are mountains which have
never been measured or ascended, but which
are known to be the loftiest in our domain.
Valleys of wild beauty and rare fertility lie
between them, one of which is described as
presenting the appearance of q skillfully laid
out park, ornamented with rocky terraces and
aspen groves. The expedition gives especial
attention to a careful reproduction by photo
graph and otherwise of the novel and mag
nifcent scenery through which it passes; this
being very appropriate extension of its
business of topographic survey. There is an
entire division Of the party, under the direc-
ton of Mr.. Jackson, known as the photo
graphic division, most Of whose members have
had experience in Prof. Haydens previous ex-
peditions. Whatever can be done will be, to
bring home to us at the East the grandeur
and sublimity of those mountain panoramas,
that are rolled out to view in the transparent
skies of the west.
Prof. Marsh's expedition seems to have met
an experience very similar to that of the
Yellowstone, in the matter of hailstorms; if any
thing suffering rather more seriously. 1t is stated
very graphically that " the matter ceases to
"be a joke when jagged Jumps of ice from
cone to three inches in diameter, strike
"man's back from the elevation of a cloud"
Hunger and thirst have also 70 be encoun-
tered in the deserts of Wyoming. There is
difference of opinion expressed in the two
letters as to the comparative venom of Rocky
Mountain musketoes, but there seems to be
no question as to their unusual size. Alto
gether, it is as true now as it has been in all
past time, that great additions to the knowl-
edge of the race are not to be obtained with
out hardship and hard work on the part OF
the investigators; and we trust there VIII not
be wanting the due honors which must con-
stitute their chief reward.

THE WARDS ISLAND CHAPEL.

A great deal of needless bitterness has
marked the controversy which has agltated
the Commissioners of Emigration relative to
the use of the chapel lately built on Wards
Island, the refuge for INDECENT immigrants!
AS usual in all strifes about seetarian troubles,
very little religion has been displayed. 1t is
hard to say which of the sects has been most
unreasonable in its auimosity. But it is not
worth while attempting to decide which Is
right on the religious question, for the simple
and sufficient reason that both are in the
wrong regarding another important principle
upon which the whole question hinges, so far
as the general public is concerned And, as
in most quarrels Of the sort, the interest of
the third party to every dispute, which is the
public, is the most vital one involved or
threatened.
. The Roman Catholics are in possession of
the chapel, and the Protestants want to share
in its use. Possession is the only point of law
in favor Of the Catholics; the rest are in favor
of the Protcstants.s The Board of Emigration,
with all its quarreling and laundering, has not,
we are glad to say, committed the folly of
making an appropriation for sectarian chapel.
The facts are that from the organization Of
the Commission until 1853 both Catholics and
Protestants worshiped peacefully in tho same
apartment of tho Hospital. In the year
named, chance separated them; the few Protest
tants obtained large apartment, while the
Catholics, who were many, were given more
contracted quarters on an upper and danger
GUS floor In 1870, becoming dissatisfied the
latter applied for appropriations to build a
chapel. The proposition was delayed until
sectarian feelings agtated the Board, and
finally the appropriation was made for
church, but not necessarily Catholic church.
When built, however, the Catholics took
possession, and now deny the right of the
Protestants to worship in the same building.
Ii it is an improper thing to vote public
funds to build n church for any particular
sect (and that We tako it, is a proposition no

We are likely to have our average Summer
rainfall, in spite of the severe and lOng-con-
tinued drouth of June and July. During the
past three days great deal of water has
fallen, and the shower of yesterday was un-
commonly heavy. We must expect some COM
plants of the unreasonableness of this rain !;
and in the vicinity of New-York, at least,
much damage has been done. At Newark, a
sudden food destroyed, yesterday, property to
the value of 100000; and other losses will
probably be reported. But the rains will bene-
fit some of the crops, notably corn and pota-
toes and late grass; and the city has been
