n1E" Pope Plus IN has published q
powerful protest against the policy
of several Of the European States, par
ticularly Italy and Prussia, in dos-
polling him of his Temporal Possessions
and interfering with the spiritual Jur-
islction of the Holy See. The Tenn
poral power of the Pope is of long
standing prescription and un1nestlon-
cd right. For ages, dating almost
back to the days OF st. Peter, 1t has
stood as bulwark against the rapac-
ity of the foes Of the Church. At the
Congress of Vienna in 1915, after the
overthrow Of the Great Napol con by
the allied Powers of Europe, the EN-
peror Alexander Of Russia, through
his ambassadors at the seat Of the
Holy Alliance of European States, the
Emperor Alexander declared that
the Temporal Power of the Pope to
the States OF the Church, granted to
the successor of st Peter by Pepin and
Charlemagne. was a. the most sacred
character and of binding validity
The title deeds were the oldest III the
world, executed by human hands. To
make them more sacred they were eX-

my name was used without my con-
sent. I do not feel like leaving the
Republican party to go off with some-
thing new, of which ! know but little
about. Agriculture demands refor-
nation, but we may expect that from
the Republican party, Ms well as any
other, for it certainly contains a great
many good men. II is true that bad
men have gained our support in some

Jefr Dnvi, M Ii6by 1sr,.o.

TO show the spirit of imperial DOM
ination then raging in Richmond,
will relate curious apecdote, for the
truth of which l personally vouch.
One morning, very early in the day,
was walking through the Capitol
grounds in Richmond, when met a
respectable officer in the employ OF
the Confederate Government, who at
once enquired of me whether Mr..
Davis ever got drunk. l told him l
thought not, and inquired his reason
for propounding this question; to
which he responded as follows:
"Mr. Davis, Mr.. Mallory, and 9TH
ers, had visited brewery Bluffs on
yesterday. When the company reach
ed Rockets, ON their return, Mr..
Davis not finding his carriage there to
meet him, as he expected, determined
to go home on foot. His lady was &C.
companying him. They had to pass
Libby Prison on their route. When
they reached this well-known spot,
where it would seem Mr.. Davis had
never been before, It being twilight,
the sentinel on duty before the prison
door would not have been able at once
TO distinguish the Confederate chief
even ii he had been previously famil.
lar with his august parsonage. But in
point Of fact he did not know him at
all, never having been face to face with
him in his life. He challenged the new
corners accordingly, as was to have
been expected. Upon this Mr.. Davis
announced that he was Jefferson Da-
Wis, President Of the Confederate
States Of America. Says the sentinel,
Il wish i knew this TO be true, but 1
do not know Mr.. Davis, and cannot
allow you TO pass" When Mr.. Davis
drawing his sword-cane sprang toward
the sentines, with fierce and and angry
menaces upon his lips. The sentinel
pointed his piece directly at his per-
SON, and would have shot him then
and there but for the prompt and fear
less interpretation Of Mrs. Davis, who
assuring the honest soldier upon her
honor that this was jefferson Davis,
and her husband, the sentinel faltering
under her influence, agreed to take the
responsibility of letting Mr.. Davis and
the ladies pass. And SO they did ; but
SO soon as Mr.. Davis got home, he
sent for General Winder, informed
him of the serious indignity which had
been done him by one of his subordi-
mates, and ordered his immediate ar
rest, with view to his condign pun
ishment. Winder respectfully remon-
strated against this course OF proceed
ings. Davis got into towering pas
sion and threatened to remove VIM
der if he did not obey the order which
had been given him Immediately. Up
on this the young man was arrested,
and is now in custody"
asked the gentleman who gave me
this information ifeither of the editors
in Richmond knew of the affair. He
replied that he had given the full par
ticulars to reporter of the Enquirer
Fearing the effect that such publica-
ton as was now likely to be made, ]
besought my young friend not to
mention thu matter again, and pro-
ceeded ct once to the Office of the Ex-
aminer, where persuaded the editor
not to make any publication in his pa.
per Of an occurrence so ridiculous and
disgusting, and thus for the time snc-
ceeded in getting It suppressed. ~ From
