Mr. PENN opposed The report being
adopted because he thought It woulu oEe.
rate unfairly on the persons living Oh 'n0

Mr.. NswRRRRY hoped that the report
would be rejected and another committee

sent a proposition 80 ask that his county

of the bill. He stated that In Its present
shape his county. was cut in twain-the Dill
would affect the people nf one portlen OF
the county aud would not the other portion:
He asked, therefore, that bis county, rs well
as Tazewei, should either be embraced as
an entirety or stricken out Of 1t entirely.
Mr.. NEwBERRY said the conference COM
mittee had agreed upon the report that haa
been submitted by them "to crafty the
within or bulldozing propensity OF n shin.
plaster pettliogger OF short range and small
calibre, who has arrogated to himself the
guardianship OF my people, OF whom ne
knows nothing, and OF him they know less.
Though standing .s he does onthe browning
point of the Alleghanies, his august shadow
has never reached the eastern hem OF Biano,
much less her centre or line OF dividing wa
ters. He has about rs much knowledge OF
the geography OF my county az he has OF the
topography of the moon. In saying this l
do not mean to say that he is moonstruck,
as do not believe that he has ever been
struck by anything except very high opln-
ion Of himself" ..1. -- $

ITALY.


ROME, April 23.-The Italian Govern.

gents.
ITALIAN DECLARATION OF POLICY.
The Ministry, in replying to the inter.
pellations in the Chamber OF Deputies,
have made some important declarations
relative to the policy OF Italy. Official
reports summarize these declarations 10
the following effect: Both the Minister
Of Foreign Affairs and the President OF
the Council stated in the most formal
terms that Italy after having acquitted
herself Of her mission as power
called upon TO use her influence, for
peace and conciliation, had emerged from
the negotiations free from any special
engagement and holding excellent rela.
tions with all the powers. Italy was ready
to resume her work OF pacifcation "a
soon as circumstances permitted. She
was resolved TO preserve the indepen.
dence and neutral character of her
policy. Replying more particularly to
the question whether the Italian govern.
ment intended to take any military
measures, the Ministry declared that any
such measures were entirely beyond their
present anticipations. The government
would take no steps without previously
giving the Parliament an opportunity 10
debate upon it.

The temporal Power.

Ihe lempOFui AOWer'
The leading minds OF the Church Of
Rome are credited with agood degree Of
ngacily, but it seems TO US that at this
time, as at other notable periods in the
history Of the Church, they are not
eyincing even ordinary intelligence in
the management Of their affairs. The
agitation in favor Of y restoration OF the
temporal power OF the PnPacy is bound.
in our humble judgment, to result in an
ipglorion, taiIure-a failure too, that
will react against the Church in the same
wsy that the attempt to impose the dog.
lyi Papal inisllibility upon the intel.
lgeuce Of oimankind has reacted against it.
The Church Is essentially weaker since
the pronunciation Of that dogma,
because the enforcement Of it has
been found impossible in countries
where the Pope is not all.powerful, and
outside Of Spain there is no such coun.
try. Austria has shown her independ.
eacc Of the dogma by dissolying the Con.
coriat in the matter Of civil marriages
and secular education, and France, us
we saw in Yesterdays dispatches, has
warned the clergy against political inter-
meddIing, Italy, despite bulls and e1-
communications, stands firm on the side
Of Victor Emmanuel against the Popes
temporal power.
It would seem as II the hierarchy con.
.ilercd the present crisis in Eastern Eu.
rop, favorable time to reopen the
question Of the restoration. At all
events they have resolved to reopen it.
Cardinal Manning made speech on the
s.h inst, in England, in the course Of
which he asked these questions:
How could any reasonable man object
that the Vicar Of Jesus Christhad no TEN.
poral authority in the pagan world? The
pagan world not only did not recognize
Christian, but had'Bot recognized their
Divine Master How could any Chris.
lian man endure the thought that the
Vicar OF our Redeemer should be the sub,
lect OF any local sovereign? Iithis wert
80, the foundations laid by the apostles
would be broken up,, and the one great
society otNll Nations, under one supremt
and independent head, would exis. nt
longer. So long as the Christian world
existed, transient revolution NIGH
create this confusion, but unless the
Christian world were dissolved, it couIG
not last"
1t is difficult to see the point
in Cardinal Mannings appeal ior
the restoration Of the temporal pow.
er Of the Papacy on the ground oi
It's primeval and necessary existence
His Eminence does not seem to recognize
two unachronisms in his address. One i.
that large portion Of the Christian
world no longer acknowledges the Pop,
"a the Vicar OF Christ, and the other !,
that for 700 years the so.caIled Vicar hat
no temporal power. That power, like
most other accessories OF the church, wa,
an outgrOwth Of worldly policy, and il
Got covered by its original Ietters patent
1t was achieved by the sword, and We ar,
told in Scripture that all such achieve
ments naturally perish by the sword. /,
the iulfllment OF Scripture Victor Em
manuel and the Italian people have sim
ply reclaimed the temporal power OF tn
PapOcy.

A PHILADELPHIA dispatch in this
mornings issue sAys that Pennsylvania
shares yesterday sold down to 3O9, at
which point the panic seems to have
spent its force, at least Tor the present,
as the stock rallied at the close to 80.
We observe that 1000 shares OF Cleve-
land X Pittsburgh are reported among
the sales OF yesterday. This does not
necessarily mean that that many shares
actually changed hands. The New York
Pod explains how 100 shares of stock
can be made to dO duty Tor 900, thus:
Holders ol investment stock are ad.
vised not to lend them in the market for
Use in making deliveries on speculative
sale'. /, may be tempting to the holder
OF stock 10 get ial per cent per day for
its use, bnt this is delusive gain, for it
enables the bear Spectator to lower the
market price OF the stock many times
more than the amount paid Tor its use.
One hundred shares oil stock can easily be
used for tho deliveries to the amount Of a
thousand shares, rs those familiar with
Stool; Exchange methods understand.
