Our special despatch from Rome tells Q
pleasant story Of the reception yesterday by
the Pope Of large number of Americans,
with addresses and gifts from various
groups of the people here to the head Of the
Church. In this manifestation of the good
will Of the faithful on this side the water is
to be seen q phase of the relations OF the
Pope to the people that is worthy attention.
Some hundreds of Americans, fresh from
the somewhat hard if very energetic char
acter of American civilization, rejoice in this
visit and its incidents as in kind of holy
romance that will glorify their lives while
they last. II seems scarcely possible for
any European people in these days to re-
gard the Pope of Rome apart from political
considerations and complications. But
in this country, despite the in
sane fury Of demagogues to manu-
facture 'school questions" and similar
tests of party fealty, there is no politics in
the relations Of Catholics to the head Of
their Church. Their relation is one of pure
faith and Of strictly sacred character; and
if this were true Of the people in Europe as
it was once, and as it is still of people on
this side the water, at least three great gov
ernments would be less disturbed by So
called "nltramontane" troubles. 1t appears
to as that this difference between the faith
full on two sides Of the ocean is altogether
in favor Of our side, and presents feature
in the spirit Of democracy that His Holiness
did not sufficiently consider in his rather
crude lecture to us on our materialism.

son VIII err Sn extra session to pass an
apportionment bill. How can he expect
this same Legislature to mend its ways?
Men do not gather grapes of thorns With
Mr.. Alvord and his tactics in the Assembly
there would be little likelihood Of bill
which the Governor could sign, and the
extra session might be a waste Of time and
patience, whereas in the next Legislature
the democrats may have the apportionment
entirely in their own hands

An Asylum for HON sls.s Dogs.

We are glad that this idea, which had
its birth in the brain Of Mr.. Bergh, the
apostle of mercy to the brute. is about to be
realized. People who object to it on the
ground that mere sentiment diverts tho
stream Of charity from its proper object. suf-
fering man, to the lower animals, forget that
in providing place Of refuge and security
for hungry and homeless dogs on important
step is taken toward preserving the citi-
zens of New York and their children
from the dangers of hydrophobia or
severe injury from dogs in the streets.
One, of the most melancholy looking
objects imaginable is hungry, home
less and perhaps orphan dog iprowling
along the cutters in searchscf almcrsef to
eat The mute appeal which' the wretched
animal makes to our sympathies Is really
touching, and particularly so when, without
even growl, he seizes u.s. BY the leg in
order to emphasize his silent complaint.
When the digestive organs Of . dog are out
Of practice for any considerable time his
ideas become confused, and he cannot dis
tinguish between meum and tsium In this
state ne is dangerous. If, therefore, an
asylum is open to him where he can
recover his mental balance under gen.
tie restraint, and while recovering get
something to eat, great public dan
ger is averted. The net profits Of
the recent bench show Of dogs, amount4
ing to over twelve hundred dollars, has
been handed to Mr.. Bergh in 'farthetancs Of
his humane purpose. We would suggest
that, as the new institution is likely to har-
Dor dogs Of every species, an excellent and
instructive exhibition might be created,
which, by the payment Of an admission fee
OF five cents each, the citizens of New York
can render self-supporting. As place
where valuable dogs that have strayed from
their owners may be recovered the asylum
would save much trouble and expense but
the chief practical benefit will be the removal
from the streets during the summer of all
the homeless dogs that now infest them.

New Honor TO an Ex-Presidsns.

The London despatch which we printed
yesterday stated that Lord Beaconsfield's
Cabinet has decided that General Grant
shall be received with the marks ofconsider-
alton bestowed on ex-sovereigns. This isan
unusual compliment both to its immediate
recipient and to the country Of which ne
was so recently the chief ruler. The gov
eminent and people of the United States
have reason to be pleased with it as mark
Of respect to our national dignity az well as
O personal distinction to the most eminent
Of our citizens. Now that General Grant is
out of politics free indulgence will be given
by his countrymen to their natural pride
in his career and their abiding gratitude
for the brilliant services which make him to
this generation of Americans what the hero
Of Waterloo was to the last generation OF
Englishmen. Previous to his first nomina-
ton for the Presidency he was altogether
the most popular citizen Of the United
States, and since he has passed through the
ordeal Of party strife and detraction that
sentiment returns with all the force Of a
first love which for while did not run
smooth. There is no true American who
will not delight to see him honored abroad
and the country honored in the person Of
its late President
It is because General Grant has name
that will always live in history that the
British Cabinet avails itself Of his visit to
establish new precedent in the etiquette
to be observed toward American citizens who
have retired from the Chief Magistracy.
Had General Grant possessed no other title
to distinction than the mere fact that he has
been President Of the United States it would
not have been easy for the Queens govern
ment to break the usage by which our
ex-Presidents have heretofore been treated
as private gentlemen. We do not doubt that
the Queen herself is glad Of SO good an
occasion for deviat.ng from the former rale
Of etiquette. She has always cherished
lively and grateful sense of the reception
bestowed on the Prince of Wales on his
visit to this country in 1860, when his rank
was suitably recognized by official courtesies
from President Buchanan and the enthu-
siasm of our people was unbounded.. She
has had until now no opportunity for repay
ing those courtesies in kind, and it would
not surprise us to see them requited with
great bsilliancy. Whatever tends to pro-
duee kindly feelings and pleasant memories
between great peoples is an international
be04NE. :. ~ +.

Toned negro massacre in some Southern
State, and their impotence because the
killing does not come of is very dismal
Might it not be well for Mr.. Packard to
write letter appealing to the Southern
whites to delay no longer, and expressing
his opinion that unless some negroes are
speedily killed there will be no campaign"
to use them in?

The MCCARTHY TRAL.-Some people might
call the contest now going on In the Blocker
Street Universalist Church a tempest in q tea
pot; but this would be very wrong, for it is Of
deep Importance to the persons interested. 1t is
true that it is hard to discover Of exactly what
the Rev. Mr.. Mccarthy is accused, or what he
did, but ecclesiastical wickedness is different
from the sins Of the laity. What would be par
aonable in layman might be terrible in q
preacher; and thus when we learn that the wick
sdness Of the clergyman consisted not in what lie
said, but in the manner of saying it, the mystery
is explained But church quarrels are always
interesting, and this trial is not an exception to
the rule.

The Remafns or Custer and His
Comr q des.


Comra des.
The War Department has decided that
the remains Of General Custer and the
officers who fell with him in the famous
battle on the Little Big Horn shall be re-
moved to o more accessible place of rest.
Colonel Sheridan has already left for the
scene Of the battle, and it is estimated that
the task may be finished in little more
than month. The graves Of the sixteen
gallant officers are side by side, and each
was carefully marked at the time Of
burial for future Identification. Unless
the Indians have desecrated this rude sep
ulchre there will be little difficulty in trans
ferring the remains to Fort Leavenworth,
where, in the national cemetery, they will
repose in security. The body of General
Custer will be taken to West Point, in. &C.
cordance. it is said, with wish he often
expressed. The only exception, we believe,
to the removal is in the case Of Lieutenant
Crittenden, whose father has desired that
the body Of that young soldier shall rest
where he fought so bravely.
There are good reasons for this action of
the government. 1t il the duty Of the milton
to commemorate the event as well as the
locality, and many Of the relatives and
friends Of these officers would prefer to have
them inferred at the Leavenworth cemetery
instead Of the now almost inaccessible
wilds of the Indian country. No tomb
could be found more appropriate for GEN.
eral Custer than that at West Point But
nothing should be done in such matter
without the approval Of the relatives Of the
dead heroes. Their wishes should be re-
spected, and, no doubt will be by the
government. The question is purely
one of sentiment, and some may feel,
like General Crittenden, that the most
honorable grave for soldier is on the
battle field where he fell. With this right
Of relatives understood, the decision Of
the government will be approved. But
the bones of hundreds of men as brave
will continue to moulder in that fatal
pass. II was not possible to identify all
who persisted, and one tomb must enclose
them forever. Whatever honors may be
paid the slain at West Point or Leayen-
worth equal respect should be rendered to
the men who rode with Custer to death. A
monument should be built in that lonely
valley and dedicated to the memory Of oil
who fought SO nobly, from the fearless and
famous leader to the humblest trooper in
his command.

Wcstera Gulf States. In the Northwest, how
ever a considerable heat area has advanced and
joins the southern area of eqnal temperature in
the Upper Mississippi Valley, where narrow
thermal band represents the connecting link be-
tween the two. Smaller areas Of high and low
temperature occur in the lake region, due tolocal
causes, but in the spaces between them strong
winds prevail, blowing in each case from the
higher toward the lower pressure. The weather
in New York today will be partly cloudy or fair
and somewhat warmer, followed by decided
increase Of temperature. Local storms are prob

WALL STREET YEsTERDAY.-The stock mar
kct was less active than it has been for the
last few days and there was considerable
huctuation in prices. Government stocks were
firm all day and railroad bonds were quiet and
irregular. Gold opened ut 1868 and closed at
1O7, the greater part of the business done being
transacted at the former figure Money on call
lent easily at l. 2 per cent.

themselves the National Woman's Suffrage Asso-

The proceedings were peculiar and the oratory
inharmonious though eloquent. We suggest
that If these ladies' could only agree among
themselves their cause might make more rapid

THE PASSENGERS of the ill-iated Dakota ar
rived in this city yesterday, and were doubtless
rejoiced to see port after 50 long voyage. On
board of the steamship was young English

il would be well if more of the goods intended for
the ungratefnl heather were similarly inter-
cepted onIthe way and put to better use.

made by the newly organized Manhattan Cab
Company to establish cheap cab system in

wanted. so that New York will have the same

to wholesome legislation for the city. He
had admitted its necessity in his Message
by saying that ''in some respects the gov
eminent Of the city Of New York is in
almost chaotic condition" and proceeding
to point out the necessity for changes. The
Legislature botched this part of its work,
and deferred its botches to so late period
that no time was left for framing better
bills.
Besides these great and necessary meas
ures which have utterly failed by legisla-
tive bungling and procrastination, there is
a multitude Of minor but still important
subjects on which this congregation Of in
capables'' have fallen short of the
reasonable demands Of the people.
What have they done for the pro-
lection of depositors in savings banks?
What have they done to secure
better management of life insurance COM
panies? What to relieve banks from the
unjust taxation which is driving capital out
OF the State and killing the goose that lays
the golden eggs? What to render theatres
and public buildings more secure in cases
Of sudden fire? What to prevent the cor:
rupt use of money in elections? The Gov
ernor forcibly called attention to these and
other neglected subjects in his Message and
made recommendations which public senti-
ment approved, but he scattered his good
seed on stony places where II took no root.
Instead of transacting with intelligence
and efficiency the proper business of the
session, this derelict Legislature has passed
all sorts Of unconstitutional local bills and
all sorts Of wasteful appropriations, produc-
ing already heavy crop Of just vetoes. with
probably still greater crop in reserve dur
ing the thirty days allowed the Governor for
examining the bills leftin his hands at the
adjournment. The republicans have made
bad record for the next election. 1t
seems doubtful whether Governor Robin
