THE Holy FATHER AND THE CHURCH =
Recent reports from Rome assure us that
the Holy Father has somewhat recovered from
his indisposition and that he is able to receive
visitors. On Saturday last q delegation waited
upon him, and, in his reply to their address Of
sympathy and devotion, His Holiness said
that, 'shumanly speaking, the triumph Of the
cause of the Church was very distant" These
are, considering their source, words Of great
humiliation They seem to imply that, after
scanning the situation oil around and with
great care the venerable Pontif does not feel
satisfied that there is any immediate prospect,
SO far as human intention and human means
are concerned, Of the delverance of the Roman
See from its present troubles. There is more
truth and wisdom in these sentiments than in
all the clustering talk Of Spanish Carlists or
French legitimists. The Holy Father has
admitted q truth which many devout Roman
lists are slow to acknowledge the aggres-
sive forces Of the age are not altogether in
sympathy with Rome. Mysterious, however,
are the ways of Providence, and the tide may
turn in favor of the Church, as it has often
turned before.

hours or more we're occupied in empaneliing aJury

Mink appears selipossessed and apparently In
rood spirits. She Is defended by T.. II. Pills

Plaisted and County Attorney Rice appear for the
state. The opening for the prosecution was1nade

The INCREASE IN THE CRY DEBT-Ac-
cording to the Comptroller's figuring the
increase in the city debt since January last,
or in nine months, is within fraction of
twenty million dollars. There Is reason to
believe that this statement does not show the
real Indebtedness of the city. 1t is said that
there are claims against the Treasury, laid
aside by the Comptroller and not taken into
account amounting to several million dollars,
and these should be added to our Indebtedness,
for they are not the old fraudulent claims, but
debts which must eventually be paid with in
terest and probably with costs. The Commits
sioners of Accounts should satisfy the people
on this point, and should scrutinize the
Comptroller's books in order to ascertain, If
possible, whether the other items Of indebt-
edness are correctly stated. But even from
this partial exhibit we find that our city debt
has increased in nine months twenty million
dollars under our present financial policy
and this is not very creditable to the charac-
ter Of reformed city government

THE EXAMINATION OF THE BUDDNGToN
PARTY promises to be more interesting than
that Of Tyson and his heroes of the ice foe
The death of Captain Hall and the alleged in
subordination on board the Polaris while she
was heading toward the North Pole will form
the chief points Of interrogation by Secretary
Robson and his court of scientists from the
Navy Department. As will be seen by our
special dispatches from Washington to-day
Professor Henry scouts the idea that DR..
Bessel ever dreamed Of taking any foul advan-
tage of Captain Hall, although not believer
in the enthusiastic commander. Again Com
modore Reynolds repeats his questioning Of
Tyson at the former examination, and believes
that the charges alleged against Buddington
by him we're simply the results of ON over
excited imagination. Whether the separation
was intentional or accidental there appears to
be much in this regard for Buddington to
explain.

The Fever ut Memphis and the Ap
preaching Frost.


Yesterdays weather reports brought the
good tidings of severe cold in the Northwest
and if, as seems likely, it extends southwark,
it promises early and effectual relief for fever
scourged Memphis. The very remarkable and
widespread area of low temperature in the
region named, with the thermometer reading
considerably below freezing, inspires the hope
that the Frost King will to-day visit the whole
Central Mississippi Valley. II this proves to
be the case, as we suggest, the reign Of the
deadly pestilence must be speedily under
mined, and brighter day will tomorrow
dawn on Memphis and her neighbor cities.
The prevalence Of such cold northwesterly
winds through the country north of Arkansas
and Tennessee may be almost said to insure
such result. The relief, however will be
felt slowly, and when it comes will find o
people fearfully stricken and desolated by the
plague, and the survivors exhausted by pro-
tracted panic and toll The cry for help
pecuniary help-must reach every heart in
every corner of the Union, and we earnestly
trust it may be responded to in the most gen.
erous manner. Let our Christianity show
what it is by meeting the dreadful emergency
in our sister city.

The KELSEY INFAMY.-The farce of the
Kelsey investigation goes on. The witnesses
who were examined yesterday went through
the process of prevarication and evasion now
SO familiar to the public. Mrs. Oakley, DR..
Banks and brother of Royal Sammis were
on the stand, but nothing material was elected.
This disgraceful sham of an investigation
should be brought to close, and oil the par
ties implicated in the alleged crime should be
put under arrest and held for trial. There is
enough circumstantal evidence to warrant
criminal proceedings and it is as idle as it is
disgraceful to prolong the present farce.

curity the splendor and prestige, which are
as the bread of life to Frenchmen. and appear
inseparable from monarchy"
We do not surrender our frequently ex-
pressed conviction that any government in
France but that of republic must of neces-
sity be provisional Count de Chambord may
come to the throne in all the majesty of the
Middle Ages. He may think that his opinions
are incompatible with those of France, and
abdicate in favor Of his heir, the Count do
Paris. Or there may be enough magic in the
name of Napoleon and enough tact in the men
OF the Empire to bring the young Prince to the
throne. Any one of these results is possible,
and, in the present hysterical condition of
France, none more SO than the recall of Count
de Chambord. It will only postpone, not
destroy, the Republic. The war, the Com
mune, Napoleonism, the German occupation,
have SO much exhausted France that any ruler
who win give her peace and satisfy part Of
the people will be welcome. Above all, there
are no longer dynasties in France-only
parties. There is no supreme house, at its
head God-given king and representing the
traditions of the nation. Each dynasty is
only party, and the effect of the
most recent events is to make each one
more and more republican; SO that the change
from Bourbon to Orleans, and from Bona
parte to Bourbon back again, is little more
than the changes from whig to democrat and
from democrat to republican which are seen
in our own country. We have seen also that
this transfer Of power from one section of
citizens to another has been wise New men
bring new ideas to power and the dignities of
Office in time are shared by all parties. We
shall probably see the same result in France.
Whether Bourbons. Bonapartists or Orieanists,
it win be Frenchmen governing France oil the
time, and all alike sharing in its dignities and
glories. In the fulness of time the dynasties
will lose their meaning their pretensions will
become traditions. Instead Of monarchical
contests we shall have genuine party rivalries;
the monarchy will linger only as q name, and
France, greater than any crown or king
France herself, as republic-will be served
by all her sons, having learned that patriotism
has no higher form than republicanism, and
that too often loyalty to king means dis
loyalty to freedom and the nation.
