CHURCH QUESTION.

The following letter has been received by Earl Rus
sell, in London, from the German EMPEROR
DEAR LORD RUssELL-I have received your letter
Of January %, with the resolutions of the great meet
ing in London, and with my Ambassadors report of
the proceedings. ! thank you sincerely for this COM
munication and for the accompanying express ion Of
your personal good will. 1t is incumbent on me to
be the leader of my people in 2 struggle maintained
through centuries past by German Emperors Of ear
lier days against a power the domination of which has
In no country Of the world been found compatible with
the freedom and welfare of nations power which,
if victorious in our days, would imperil, not in Ger
many alone, the blessings of the Reformation, liberty
of conscience and the authority Of the law.
l accept the battle thus imposed upon me in fdIhl-
msnt of my kingly dnties md in firm reliance on God
TO whose he'll we look for victory; but also in the
spirit of regard for the creed of others and Of evan
gelical forbearance which has been stamped by my
forefathers on the laws and administration Of my
States. The latest measures of my government do
not infringe upon the Romish Church or the free ex-
ercise of their religion by her votaries they only give
to the independence of the legislation Of the country

tries,1 and formerly possessed by Prussia, without being
held by the Romish Church incompatible with the
free exercise of her religion. was sure, and / re-
joice at the proof afforded me by your letter, that the
sympathies of tho people of England would not fail me
in this struggle-the people of England, to whom my
people and my royal house are bound by the remem-
brance OF many a past and honorable struggle main
sained in common since the days of William of
Orange.
beg you to communicate this letter, with my
hearty thanks, to the gentlemen who signed the reso-
luton, and remain, yours sincerely,

ROME, March 13.

ROME, March Is.
The Pope has written to the Austrian Bis
hops melting them to use all their influence to
prevent the passage of the proposed ecclesiasti-
cal laws.
The telegram from Rome, which we publish
above, goes to show that the Pontiff, Plus TX,
is determined to prevent, if possible, the pas
sage of the Austrian civil bills which are des-
tined by the imperial Vienna Cabinet to effect
the efacement Of the concorGat with the Holy
See.
The Pope commands the aid Of the p~relates
in Austria in resistance to the proposed legis-
lation, and will thus, 20 doubt, provoke or Gre
ate a state of affairs in the Austro- Hungarian
territory almost identical with that which eE-
lists from the same cause in North Germany.
THE AUsTRIAN BILLS FOR THE REGULATION OF
THE CHURCH.
In the month of January last the Austrian
Cabinet entrusted Ministers Won Stremayr,
LASER and CHASER with the drawing up of a
series of church regulations, or religious" bills,
which it proposed to submit to Parliament at
an early day. These religious bills are Of a
very thorough character, and weed out the last
traces of the Concordat with Rome in the En-
pire. The drafts were made ready for the sig
nature of Francis Joseph at an early day. 1t

Dispatches from Calcutta report that the dis

In one village alone eighteen PERSONS have

PUBLIC WORKS RELIEF.
The number of applicants for employment on

In Rungpore, where there has been no actual

Mr.. Summers strenuous efforts to have his
civil-rights bill forced through Congress are
being felt in Virginia-a State having a
school system afEording equal advantages to
white and colored children. On Friday last
the Board Of School Trustees of Clarke
county met in Berryyille to take into consid-
Grafton the question OF devising means to
erect good and suitable building for the
graded school Of Berryrille. Although the

light OF a possibility of Mr.. Summers civil

to let the subject drop. Should the iniqui-
tous ciyil-rights bill become law without
expclling from it the clause in regard to ed
ucation, it will prove the death-Gnell Of our
State school system.-- Clarke Courier.

The NEW HAMPSHIRE BANK DEFALCATIoNs.
The following remarkable statement was
made by Mr.. w. w. Storrs, treasurer of the
National Savings Bank of Concord, whose
defalcation has already been announced by
telegraph: While the directors, on Tuesday
| last, were looking over notes and papers,
| and congratulating themselves on their abili-
| ty to pay on Thursday quarter part Of the
depositors' accounts, the treasurer, MIR. W.
w. Storrs, came into the room. There was
an anxious expression upon his counte-
nance, which attracted their attention.
He stood moment without speaking,
and then said, with voice trembling
with emotion: !" Gentlemen, there Is de-
ficiency In my account with the bank. think
it will reach from $4,000 to $4,000"
The establishment of the officials at this an.
nouncement cannot be we'll described. If
bolt from the sky had struck the building on
that winter day, their dismay could not have
been greater. No treasurer OF a savings
bank in New Hampshire had ever been more
trusted or confided in by the trustees than
was Mr.. Storrs. For some moments there
was scarcely word spoken. Then Mr..
Storrs went into the bank proper, and re-
turning with books aud papers said he was
prepared to explain the whole matter.

had severe pains in the head. For time he

his work and 60 home, where he arrived at
4 O'Clock. He sent for physician, who de-
cided that the ailment was congestion Of the
left lung, and prescribed for the patient with
that view. The next morning, however.
when the doctor called, Mr.. Raymond was
much worse, and bis symptoms could not be
accounted for on the hypothesis of conges'

men to prevent his harming himself OF
others. This paroXysm was succeeded by
others, none Of which were so violent. Al
one time he begged bis attendants to release
him for few minutes, and as he was then
comparatively quiet, they did so. He seized
the opportunity to rush to a closet where

bottle in his hands, but 1t was taken from him
before he could make any use of it. Six physi
clans were with him on Wednesday even

before life was extinct he was comparatively
calm. After midnight an Episcopal minister
