WASHINGTON. Nov. l9.-When congress

December, the senate and house Of repre-
sentatives will fud themselves pretty
much in the condition of the French Cham
bers on the ID of December, 1851, made
memorable by Louis Napoleon's coup d etat
by which in Il night the republic was trans
formed into the empire. That is to say,
congress will then he surrounded with

Similar preparations are making in the
navy, and on an extensive scale. Officers
commanded to silence in regard to these
movements may say what they please, but
the stubborn fact still remains, and will
soon be verified in a form to silence all de-
nial or evasion. People begin to ask,
What does all this mean? Let the re-
turning boards in the three contested
states count in Hayes, and the explanation
will speak at the point of the bayonet.
Or let the senate In another contingency,
suggested openly by Republican leaders as
possible, postpone the final counting in

His Pitiable Condition.

New YORK. Nov. PA gentleman
who saw Tweed yesterday, in answer to an
inquiry. said he is crushed and broken;
he has lost his old buoyancy and defiant
spirit; in fact he is suffering from pleurisy
now and is actually i'll. He seemed
wearied and only anxious to know about
bis old acquaintances. He seemed DESC
late and desirous of companionship more
than anything else. He is mere wreck
of his former self. Why, his vest is a
third too large for him and his features
are shrunken and pinched. He has suffered
intensely. He is entirely in the dar as
to what to do and even is without legal
advice. He needs medical advice more
than any thing now.

CHEESE 1T,

There is IL general complaint among
dealers of the poor quality of cheese
now being manufactured in the North
west. On the introduction of this in.
dustry several years ago the produc-
tiOn of our factories was universally
praised. and the fact was fully illus
trated that with proper skill, care and
conveniences our cheese would bear
comparison with that of Ohio and
New York without suffering in conse-
quence. A few days since in the re-
port of the condition of the markets,
we read, 's1n fact very little cheese is
made in the Northwest that is credit
to our cheesemakers, or that would
grade better than ''white oak at the
East. As 4 consequence a consider.
able proportion of the consumption
here consists of New York and Ohio
factory. This does not speak well for
our factorymen, who are operating all
around us, for we do not import but.
ter, nor eggs, nor wheat, nor flour, nor
several other articles which we pro-
duce at home. We advise persons in
charge of factories to bestir them.
selves, and to improve the quality OF
their cheese to the highest point OF
excellence, rather than to remain con.
tent to manufacture an article even
their neighbors refuse to buy if any
other is to be had. The specimens OF
new so far received have sold at 10 tC
12c. as to quality and condition.

CATHOLIC AMERICA.

\ Centennial address to the Cltlo.
lies of the United States was delivered
by the Rev. F. X. Weninger, D. d. at
netting of the delegates of the Ro-
man Catholic Central society ut Phila.
delphia. After a few Introductory re-
marks, DR.. Weningcr, said that no
sooner was the extreme northern por-
ton Of America discovered and inhab-
tied than the mother church turned
her eyes upon it. The proofs of this
are in the churches and the episcopal
see of Greenland. And for consider.
able time after Columbus raised the
cross upon the shore of the new world,
all the Europeans who stepped upon
the American ground were Catholics.
The name of the country, too, is that
of q Catholic. ''This," he continued,
':is not the case with the other por-
tions.Of the world, and in all would
seem to be an augury that America is
that part of the world in which a
grand and most important future is
destined for the Catholic church, and
this at an epoch when Time is incling
to it's end. 1t is from America that
the sun daily goes down toward the
night of Time.'
DR.. Weninger thought tho great OBJ
stacle to the efforts of the different
kinds of lay-apostolate was the wide.
spread belief that the Catholic church
is by nature opposed to the republican
institutions of America. On the con.
trary, he said, the pope had declared,
by giving a cardinal to this country,
that our institutions do not conflict
with the principles and aims of
of the Catholic Church. The address
was filled with suggestions as to the
best means of uniting the United
States with the Catholic church, and
closed with this paragraph: ''Catholic
America thou shalt remain unshaken,
the last empire on earth. The founda'
tion of thy republic shall not give
away until that of the word shall melt
way, when thou shalt celebrate thy
last centennial with the forever vic.
torious and triumphant church, on the
eve of time, in the morning light OF
approaching eternity"

THE vICKsBURG CUTOFF.

The cutoff at Vicksburg has greatly
alarmed the citizens. The yicksburg
Herald admits that the river is gone,
and that the only hope for a current
past the city is in changing the chan.
mel of the Yazoo river, so us to bring
it through the Chicasaw bayou, and
thence in front of the city to the Mis-.
sissippi. The Herald thinks this can
be accomplished at a cost of about
$500 900 and adds:
s.The main volume Of the Yazoo
river could te diverted through the
bayou, thence into Fish lake, and final
ly into the Mississippi river at the
national cemetery, by means of a
break.water at Yazoo, by cleaning and
deepening the bayou, and by the cut.
ting of a canal from the southern end
of the lake to the Mississippi. The
effect of the plan proposed will be
to keep open a channel in the Missis-
l.sippi from the national cemetry along
the river border of the whole city; and
should this be practicable, the danger.
GUS influence Of the cutoff will not
only be avoided, but we should be
brought into closer and more direct
communication with the rich and pop
ulous Yazoo basin, upon which Vicks
burg mainly relies for her support.
