VENICE July 81, 1875
Only during she Parliamentary session does one
realize that italy possesses capital and that Rome is
Hs recognized centre. This statement would be
telngiblo tho French and English mind but quite
comprehensive TO Americans, for whom Washington
takes the place OF Rome for the Italians; Naples answer
ing to New York; Florence 20 Boston; Milan 70
Philadelphia, and to the end of the
chapter No proclamation or unity, no unihca
ton OF political and administrative legislation
can destroy tho traditional fact OF seven
States with different capitals and lscal Interests
IL there any why such tradition should be
destroyed anything to be gained by increasing
raintion. On The contrary without going The length

prosperity TO TO the nation at large The bed Of
Proerustes adapted Italians than to any other
nation in Europe for Sandman siclian bears
less resemblance to a Mlanese than a Manese does to
German, Genoese to Englishman OF Florentine
to Frenehman And at the present moment Italy has
resolved herself her component parts and with
the exception OF few common points Of interest the
inhabitants Of each State occupy themselves with the
affairs Of ncighboring States neither less than
with those Of foreign countries

That the Pope a prisoner Of Antonell and the
utramontane party, though Of Victor Emmanuel, is
certain, longing for his nlyonte summer sojourn At
CasteI Gondolfo yet keeps up his spirits and, by
curious coincidence profits in health much does

GOOD NEWS PROM THE ELECTION POLLS
The news OF the triumph Of the clerical party in
Venice, Florence, Genoa and Verona have raised the
Popes hopes considerably Indeed the triumph is phe
nonena and almost the only topic which interests all
Italy at the present moment is precisely these

the liberals allied themselves with the clerical party
against the moderaies and succeeded But Florence
and Genoa especially in the latter city, IL is the moder
who have allied themselves against the liberals and

clors elected thirty cercs and but twenty three
liberals succeeded
Al Genoa il should be stated the former Council was
dissolved by government that there the elections
general whereas in the other cities Of Italy they
only partial third OF the entire number being renewed
every three years And there denying the fact Of
the coalition The CarySre Mercantile, organ of the mod
crates proposed the same candidates as the organs of the
Catholic party. And in Genoa the Catholics strong

The entire people anxiOusly awaiting the news
Of the Neapolan elections but the result is
certain. The clericas will carry the day there
also, and for the first time since the an
chericas have openly and avowedy joined hands and
formed offensive and defensive alliance against the
liberals who have hitherto administered the province
An attempt was made TO spread the belief that Cardinal
Riaro sforza Archbishop Of Naples had expressed his
disapprobalion at the participation OF the clergy and
the faithful IN the administrative elections On this
he ordered his secretary Salvatore Catern 10 write
letter TO the papers confirming his adhesion TO the adj
vice given IN lo'2 adding that he hopes to eccles
astics and laity unite their lists admin

secure the utmost possible good"
PoIiTTcIL foi1cY THE oHuRcmfEN
The Catholics and their organs are, at least honest
and say, 1--WE, as Catholics mean, if we can,
20 secure the administration 10 our party; to
control public instruction; to devote the communal
funds To such purposes as deem best" But
the moderate organs shirk the question, say
that such and such candidate Is not clerical but an
unknown untred man, whom they support in defan OF
better The same tactics we're pursued by the liberals
Of Venice; but they deceive one and shown up
by the Catholics themselves 1t is difficult to account
for this phenomenon entirely. Two explanations pre-
sent themselves First that nearly all the COmmunes
OF Italy over head and IN debt and the citizens
who cian0red for ttes and monuments and public gar
dens new markets and boulevards now that the bill is
presented appalled, at the sum total Instead Of
blaming themselves they blame their Mayor and Coun-
Gil and looking round for men, find none in their
own respective parties. The populations tired Of

with the Catholics whether they should take
