A World correspondent gives an inter- esting sketch of the Guib6fd case, recent Iy decided by the English Privy Council. It appears that Joseph Guibord, a worthy and intelligent Canadian Catholic, was a member of the 'slnstitut Oanadien, lit erary society that had fallen nn,ier the ban of the church for refusing to reul, sse certain books whose liberal tendency the clergy disapproved, from their library. He died in 1869, and was refused burial in the parish cemetery because he was 2 member of an communicated society, although he was liable to be taxed for the maintenance of this cemetery. His widow sued out & mandamus against the paro- chial authorities, and the case finally went up to the Privy Council, the court of last resort in such matters, where judgment has gone agaInst the local authorities. At the trial it was proved that the Canadian priests habitually iEterfered with cleo ions, communicating such of their pa- rishioners as refused to vote as they di rected. At the general election of 1867, four bishops out of five published pas torals, telling the faithful for whom they had to vote, and making their votes a matter of conscience It is such inter ferences as this that have stirred up Bis mark to fight the papacy.
 The recent Carlist atrocities seem to have aroused all the European govern ments to the necessity of interference for the protection of their own subjects in Spain. The German government has sent squadron to the Spanish coast; the British Mediterranean fleet has been or dered to Barcelona; the Portuguese are trying hard to preserve the neutrality of their frontier; and France is willing to ac- knowledge the present Spanish govern ment in concert with other European powers. It is wonderful how bigotry tends to bloodshed. The Carlists who are fighting so strenuously for Church and King are shooting prisoners and murder ing unarmed citizens at frightful rate. In the old Carlist war Great Britain put a stop to the cruelties practiced. If this business does not end soon, outside gov ernments ought to interfere in the interest of humanity.
 That the alliance of church and state in England makes religious interests entire ly subordinate to political interests has been remarkably exempliied of late. A bill had been introduced for the suppress sion of ritualistic practics in the church of England. It was not a government measure, and was not expected to pass, this session at least, when Mir. Gladstone, now in opporition, took occasion to speak against it as being improper and unecess ary. We imagine the criticism was just but it was nevertheless very impoltic, since the Dissenters, and other strong op ponents of Popery, form large majority of the Liberal constituencies. Disrael seized his opportunity, at once, made { shrewd ''No Popery'' speech, and pro poses to carry the bill through as govern ment measure, while Gladstone has beer compelled by his party to withdraw hi
 opposition. America has produced some rather remarkable Christian statesmen but hardly any quite so queer as thi

Though the demand for coal IS slack, the monopolists who rule Pennsylvania and a good deal of the territory adjacent are preparing for a further rise next month. Every attempt to furnish cheap coal is broken down by the mining and railroad rings, in the face of laws and constitutional provisions designed to check such iniquities. We hope some- time to see a reform legislature in Penn sylvania. small chance as there now seems for any such novelty.
 They seem to have Democratic State Central Committee in Illinois, every man of which is just as wild lunatic as Mir. H. Ia. Goodwin, of East Hartford. This committee mot, last week, and asserted, among other things, "the right and duty of the State to protect it's citizens from exhOrtation and unjust discrimination by chartered monopolies." Where all are GOOdwins there is evidently no room for Bishops and Wheelers and Barnums among the leading Democrats of Illinois.
 One of the reasons for Reforming a new charter upon Norwich was because of the alleged extravaganza of James l.. Greene, its mayor. The reason assigned for not submitting tho charter to the people was because it is Republican city and the Democratic minority need protection. On Monday the mayor aforesaid was re- elected with but six opposing votes, which indicates that all the waste of time and damage to principle incurred by the leg islature was to protect the property and rights of about six out Of the thousand Democratic voters of that city.

The tendency of the French legislator to 'tHare up" is truly terrific. Congress in its palmiest, ante-secession days was a Quaker meeting compared with the French Assembly. On Friday a Bona paEtist took occasion to remark that .'the republic had succumbed before the scorn of honest men" On Saturday he was challenged by the Republicans to repeat his woris. which he of course did. There upon Republican gave him the lie, and several Deputies from the Left rushed to- wards him shouting and shaking their 1istG. The President of the Assembly was unable Co restore order and had to sus- pend the sitting. Several duels are ex- pected as the result of this curious lepis- AAilse scene. Yet with all the gunpowder there is in the composition of the French man he will submit to governmental tvr- amy snch as would raise riot in inc sqaietest town in New England.

Beecher HonoraBIy Acquitted by the
Committee.

NEW YORK, August 28.-The Beecher in
yesiigatipg committee have submitted their
report. They conclude:
First: That Beecher did not commit adul-
terry with Mrs. Tilton at any time or place
whatever.
Second That Beecher has never commit
ted any unchaste or improper act with Mrs.
TiIton, nor made any unchaste or improper
remark, protfer, or solicitation to her of any
kind or description whatever.
Third: Ii this were question OF errors
of judgment on the part of MIR. Beecher it
would be easy to criticise, especially in the
light of recent events. In such criticism,
even to the extent of regrets and censure,
we are sure no man would join more SIN
cerely than Mr.. Beecher himself.
Fourth: We ind nothing whatever in
the evidence that should impair the perfect
confidence of Plymouth church or the world
ia the Christian character and integrity OF
Henry Ward Beecher.
And now let the peace Of God that passeth
all understanding rest and abide with Ply
mouth church and her beloved and eminent
pastor, so much and so long afflicted.
