The pOpe's Hopes Raised.

New YORK, August ll.-An Italian
letter says: The news Of the triumph of
the Clerical party in Venice Geneva,
Florence and Verona, raised the Pope's
hope, considerably, indeed. Almost the
only topic which interests Italy is pre-
cisely these municipal elections. In
Venice, the liberals allied themselves
with the Clerical party against the Mod
crates and succeeded, but IN Florence
and Genoa, especially the latter, the
Moderate, allied themselves against the
Liberals and obtained still more brilliant
successes, for out OF : lG9 votes GiS went
to the urn and out of >iXty-two
councillor, elected, thirty-~evcn
Clcrlcal-, and but tweuty-thrcc Liberals
succeeded The entire people are anx-
iously waiting news of the election, but
the result j. certain. The Clcricals will
carry the day, and tor the first since the
annexation OF 1860, the Modcratcs and
Clcrical- have openly and avowedly joined
hands and formed IN offensive and dctcn-
,iyc alliance against the Liberals, who
have hitherto administered the province.
Uae explanation Is that nearly all the
cJmmuucs OF Italy are over head and ears
in debt, and citizens who camored for
fetc-, monuments, public gardens, new
markets and boucvnrds, now that
the bill is presented, are appalled, Mt the
sum total, blaming their mayor and
council, and looking around for new
men find none in their own parties, The
populationS are tired of n nodrrat" rule
in politics aS in local affairs.
