VICTOR EMMANUELs THRONE.
This document is now being industriously used
for the purpose Of preparing the mind OF the Italian
peasant and shopkeeper. 1t remains to be seen
what effect it viii have. 1t must be remembered,
however, that this document is only one Of the
means among hundred employed by the adherents
or The Vatican In Rome and the old Papal prov
inces Victor Emmanuel cannot count upon the
hearty support OF the people. The Italians show
only lukewarm enthusiasm and respect for their
King. Rome is, indeed an exceptional city, ana
the demeanor of the people there does not apply to
the whole Of Italy. There 49, perhaps, no other
King or ruler in Europe to-day who is indirectly
subjected to such continued insult from his clerical
subjects and wno is treated with such indifference
by his so-called friends. Not one Roman In five
ever thinks of such thing taking Off his hat
when the King drives along the streets-an act OF
courtesy paid by all civilized and law-abidlng
peoples to their rulers. The Ultramontanes go
further than this and wish to show the King that
they hate him and his government The King Is
gallant gentleman. and, being very fond
of the ladies' invariably bows to his feminine sub
jects when he passes along the streets. The
Ultramontane ladies reply to the honor by turning
their backs to the monarch Oh, the Ultramontane
ladies terrible creatures, Jealous to the death
in hating the King ana in their devotion TO His
Holiness. All this NAV be excused in regard to the
clerical party OF Italy, which has had much to
suffer, but the indifference OF the great part Of
Italians for their monarch is phenomenon bOding
little good for the Kingdom. There nevertheless
a lingering respect in the Italian heart for Victor
Emmanuel because Of what he has done, for his
bravery, his constitutional rulership and his PLAIN
ways His son, Crown Prince Umberto, enjoys
popularity neither among the liberals nor the
UltramOntanes. Princess Marguerite alone enables
him to hold his place in the respect of the people.
1t will need terrible sickness q Ia Prince Of Wales
to restore popular respect and enthusiasm for
Umberto. Ex-Klng Amadeo has much better
standing among the people.
ULTRAMONTANIsM VS.. REPUBLICANIsM.
The end for which the clerical party Is striving
is the destruction OF the present government and
the re-establishment of the pre-1870 Italy-the
reinstalation Of the banshed dynasties. The end
they would bring about would in all probability be
the Republic, however,; certainly never the dy-
nasties banished by the people themselves. Since
my duties in Italy did not bring me at all in con-
nection with the republicans OF the land l shall
not, of course, attempt to give an account of the
prospects OF repubcanlsm in Italy. l can only
say that Garibadl still ives for 1t must be known
that among the clerical party OF Rome there goes
the legend that Garbaldi is already Dead but that
his adherents conceal the fact in order that the
Italian republicans shall not be discouraged. or
all the things heard among my Italian clerical
friends this was to me the most amusing The
legend will, nevertheless, find Its application
twenty years hence In the mind OF the nation
Immortality. History furnishes US with
hundred instances of leaders and rulers long
since committed to. earth who still live in
the hearts of the people. The peasants of Lower
Austria believe that their great beneiactor,
Joseph H., still lives. The Saxon peasant i'm
AGNES that the good King Friedrich August ii. was
not killed in the Tyrol by being thrown out of his
carriage In Germany the legend has it that the
republican leader Robert Blum, wh) was shot in
Vienna, still lives though IN confinement in some
unknown dungeon. The Italian peasant will never
permit Garibaldi to die Such men, when they are
called hence, become transformed into popular
heroes, become endowed with the attributes Of
the primitive gods to guard and watch over their
peoples. But Garibaldi still lives, and TO assure
our Roman clerical friends on this point will give
a translation OF a letter, written by the veteran
General to your correspondent, dated from Ca

FROM THE VATICAN SIDE
OF the Tiber had an interesting item OF news on

kindly gave me some account OF the reception

with the students quite while, and told them OF
incidents that had occurred far back as the year

for three months, found that the venerable pontn

words to turn his lace to the people, account OF
the PAIN he experienced; but he now can turn
completely round, without any dflculty. Though
the doctors are unwilling that he should give

persons OF hts Court, receives the foreign ambas
