THE closing session Of the forty-third
congress is not likely TO be 3 very useful
one to the administration. The New
England republican members, who
have already arrived in Washington,
assert that the recent Democratic vic
tories are all due to the blundeTs OF
President Grant, and they demand that
he shall be thrown overheard. The Re-
uu0Icans OF New Hampshire are soon

ton Of Grandsm. That quarrel is ike
Iy TO occur during the coming winter,

tain. The President does not think that

BAILEY ON GLADSTONE.
An American Bishop Answers ihe Ex-
Premier OF EDgIand-Clv5I a1o
ReIigiOus Loyalty.

NEW YORK, November 22.-Arch-
bishop Bailey, OF Baltimore, has written
q short letter on the statement made by
Mr.. Gladstone in his late pamphlet, that
since the Vatican council defined the
dogma Of the infslibility Of the pope,
every Catholic is called upon to re-
nounce his mental and moral freedom,
and place his civil loyalty and duty at
the mercy OF another. The archbishop
saws: HWhen q person tells me that my
religion requires me to be dislOyal TO my
country, the old Adam comes up in me,
and / feel more disposed to pull his nose
than to answer him politely. The only
thing l have TO say against Gladstone's
declaration is, that 1t IS false, and q
shameful calumny, aud ] would appeal,
with perfect confidence, as to the truth
Of my assertion, TO the conscience Of
every Catholic over the face OF the
earth. 1t has no foundation, either
in the words of the decree,
nor in any possible logical deduction
from those words. The thought, even.
that it would have any such bearing l
am certain never entered the nina of
any member OF the council. The Vati-
can canon did not changein one iOts the
relations of Catholics to civil power any
more than it changed those OF Protest
ants. 1t left that important matter as
connected with the order OF civil s0cie-
tv. where the New Testament leaves it
where our blessed Lord left il when he
told us to "Render unto Caesar the things
that are Csesar's, and TO God the things
that are God'sn Ever since Gladstone
committed political harikari by dissolv-
ing parliament ne has been a souIed
aud disappointed man. There is no be-
ing on earth more mischievOus and dam
gerous than an old politician turned out
to grass. Everything he has done and
said, and written since shO rs that he is
as anxious to get back into his cage as
polar bear is anxious to get ont of his,
and so he has taken to what an old
English divine used TO call his Ches-
shire cheese, the "nO pOpery" cry,
which Little Johnny and many others
have tried before him, aid is endeavOr-
ing to raise a whirlwind in the hope that
il may blow him back on to the treasury
benches. It will be more likely to blow
him out to sea, BY this publication
Gladstone has paid but poor cOmpli-
ment to the good sense and Intelligence
OF the English people, and | have my
doubts whether they will dance to his
music. II he was aotuated like Bis
narck, and could put 6 soldier alongside
OF every honest citizen to make him
dance, then there would be some sense
! in the thing"

EADs ON JETTIES.
Results of the Investigations of the
Great Engineer in Europe.

ST. LOUIS, November 22.-Captain
James B. Eads, who has just returned
from q trip to Europe, where he went
three months ago to examine the i'm
prOvements at the mouths OF the various
rivers ON the continent, in an interview
yesterday gave much interesting infOr-
nation regarding his observations. He
visited the Neuse, Oder, DnippeT, StOlpe,
Nistula, PTegel, Danube, RhOne, and
other rivers where the jetty system is in
use, and found il successful in every it,
stance, the depth of the channel OF there
rivers having been increased from sey =
en- to fifteen feet. The jetties at Saiins,
the mouth of the Danube, have been so
great q success that st. George channel,
which discharges four times as much
water as the Saiina, is to be improved
in the same manner, and The Russian
government is preparing to adopt the
same plan on the Volga, DWina and
Neya. On the latter stream there
are to be five miles of jetties, which
will give a depth OF twenty-four feet,
and enable the largest vessels to reach
st. Petersburg. At the mouth of the
Rhine, where it has been stated jetties
had proven a failure, Captain Eads
found that jetties had never been tried,
but that q single embanKment had been
thrown up along the river banks for the
purpose of closing some lateral outlets
These embankments do not extend
within half mile OF the mouth Of the
river, and are seven-eighths of mile
from the bar. The engineer in charge
expressed the opinion that if they were
extended to or beyond the bar the de-
sired depth of the channel would be OBJ
tanned. Captain Eads iound the jetty
system in great favor with the engineers
whom he met on the trip, and comes
home greatly strengthened in his
convictions that the mouth of the
Mississippi should be improved
by jetties, and will at once
commence vigorous efforts to secure the
adoption Of that system by congress.
