CHURCH AND STATE IN AUSTRIA.

Lust January tho Austrian Cabinet 1aid be-
fore tho Emperor draft Of four bills on the re-
laa!ons Of the Empire to religion. Francis
JoBeph approved all four. They were submitted
to tue Imperial Parliament, which will certainly
paBB them, it tho Ministry suatainB thom hearti-
ly. They are modelled after tho Prussan laws.
Tho first OF tho four declares tho pact between
Austria and Kome-the Concordat--to be null
aud void; confines ecclesiastical offices to AUS
trian subjects, and vests the right Of nomination
to thom in tho civil authorittes first, and then,
it this power is not exercised, in tho Dshops,
subject to civil supervision; and, gives
the civil authorities tho right to doposo eocesias-
teal dignitaries and to cancel ecclesiastical regu-
lations. The second bill forbids the formation
Of any religious Booiety without tho permission
Of the stato; gives tho State power to dissolve
any religious society; subjects ecclesiastical
property aud proceedings to the inspection Of
the State; and makes a1l 1egacies or grants Of
over S1.500 to religious societies invalid, unless
the express sanction Of the State has boon OBJ
tanned. Tho third appropriates part Of tho
incomes Of the lower clergy. The fourth pro-
vides that oil new religious societies ahall be 1e-
gally recognized, unless their doctrines aoem to
the State to be opposed to law and public morals.
Such sweeping blows at Catholic supremacy
have naturally aroused Catholic wrath. Tho
Pope Inns written to tho Austrian Bishops to In.
ciso them to oppose tho passago Of tha bills.
Tho Bishops now announce that they will with,
draw from Parliament ii the bills become laws
Tho threat will scarcely deter the mon at whom
It Is aimed. There in ama1l doubt that the u.

THE TW0-WtpED CALIFORNIAN.


oades OF San Bernadiuo. is the man with two
wives. Ono OF them he we'd III New Zealand,
eight years ago. The Maories burned hlH house
and, as he supposed, his wife. Ho came to Cali
fornia, aud thero, last year, married again.
Wife No. followed him. She was Hospitality
received by No. 2, and tho threc lived peaccably
together. Tho tyrant State invoke them from
their dream OF Happiness by suing Oades for
bigamy. Judge and jury, with a viHta Of bolta
and bars beyond, could not duunt tue man with
two wives. Ho plcaded that he had had good
roaaon to believe his first vito dead; that, de-
spite dlligont search, no had henrd nothing
Of her for five years aud moro, and that cor
tain section Of the California codo allowed him
to marry, under such circumstances, long before
he actually did. Tho complaint WIS dismissed.
0ades bowed, his two wives ourtssied, and the
tLroo Rwopt out OF court in triumph. The
Grand Jury now indicted Oadca. The latter,
mindful that like causes produce lhe otfoots,
made the saua ploa, and got the same decision.
One weapon remained in the legal armory.

There is some difference after all, Senators
Logan aud Morton will pleaso obBerve, betweon
issuing money aud promises to pay money. For
some time past, tho money markot in Havana
has been getting more and moro unsettled.
Specie, which Ind beou tho currency, bcgan to

found it moro and more difficult to get exchange
on Hayana, as tho premium on gold kept

dent Hayaneso 1astcued to convert their de-
prcciating paper-1nonoy into real estate. Tho
cauHo Of all this finnnancial disturbance Inns
at longth boon discovered by the Commission
investigating tho condition of the Spanish Bank
to have boen tho ovor-issuo by that concern of
about 350, 100000 OF irredoonlable paper-mouey.
The bank .who acknowledging tho issue Of
$G0,000,000, Ind clandcslinely Increased it's cir
culatiou to sic, ,o00, 900. The value Of this
illustration Of the inevitable results Of Intuition
il heightened by the fact that no ono knew any,
thing about it. Causes we're left to produce
their natural consequences without any
acceleration from alarmBta or conscious spec-
tllators. and they did produce thom, with thco~
retio certainty. Our dopreciating Senators have
but ono ground on which to moot this unliud
concurrence Of facts with tho thoorias OF their
opponents. Cuba has much warmer climate
than tho United Stntea, and 1t would be absurd
to argue that our currency and flnances would
obey tho Same laws that obtain under suoh op.

LET CONGRESS ADJOURN,

Con. Logan addressed tho Senate on Tuesday
for nearly tlireo hours advocating tho Watering
OF tho currency, in order. na ho says, to mako
money p1onty aud onable people to buy bonds.
1t ie hardly necessary to comment upon this
speech; 1t is OF tho Same frivolous character as
Ills former ofrortR. It ID wild vail for depre-
ciated currency, to cnabo apoouatora to pay
thoir dobts 1T halt price.
The country had measuroably recovered from
tho OBJECTS Of tho pauio aud, had thero boon no
Talk in Congress- Of iegislating On tho cur
rency question, business would now DO botter
than it was before the craat. Tho dis
ousHion In Congress has paralyzed in
dustry and production. II has had tho
ofeot Of locking up capital. No man
daros invest Its money whilo the action OF
Congress- is undetermined. No man will lend
except on call 30 loug as tho National
to repay tho loan at 60 cents OH tho
dollar. The fear of imitation has suspended all
contracts, aud neyer, porhaps. In the history Of
tho United States was there so much capital idle
and uninvcBtod az now; and all this because tho
holders daro not ise 1t while Congress is threat-
e,,ing to destroy 1t.
Tho greatest relief that Congress- could now
giyo tho country would DO to adjourn. The ap-
preparation billa arc already far advanced, and
might be taken up and disposed Of in
D fow days. Then the two Houses could
dieperae and give relief to the coun-
try by unlocking the capital that is
now hoarded, aud relieving the public mind Of
the palsy which oversprcads every department.
Of The agitation in CongreHs servos morely to
perpetuato the panio It keeps alive the distrust
That followed the breakdown Of tho spectators
In September last. There was lookup OF cur
ronoy then because no man had confidence in
lis uoighbor.' Now, however, the fear OF Con-
gress is operating exactly us the fear Of tho
banks operated then. Jay Cooko and Henry
Clews wero not more terrible to blalness intor-
eHts then than Congress is now. Tho longer tho
session lasts tho more Will this distrust
deopon, aud the farther will 1t oxtond. As tho
citizons Of an invaded country pack up and hide
away tler money and valuableH at tho approach
Of an invading army, so arc the American pooplo
to.day boarding their money and keeping 1t out
Of sight, fearful Of the possible action Of Con-
greas. This apprehension has settled like q
cloud upon all manufacturing enterprises no
capital ia put into now works, ponding tho &C.
tlon st Washington, and thousands OF worknen
in all parts Of tho country arc to-day out Of en-
ployment because Congress threatens to impair
the obligation of contracts by Watering tho cur
1ency.
A1r. Logan and his associates have had their
say. Now if they want to become reully popu-
lar !; ii they want to earn the gratitude Of their
constituents. lot them pass their appropriation
bills and scatter. Even another salary grab
would not be too high prico to pay for IN early
adjournment.
