stand shoulder to shoulder with Capt Thomas, or

his votes in conrcssy
The editor ofTnE BULLETIN did neither.
Like the military editor of the Gazette, he
stHddled the army question and maintained
rigid quarantine against the efforts of
both sides to impress him. Unlike the
military editor Of the Gazette, however, he
could not seek the protecting ugis of a
peiticoat when the draft was abroad in the

THERE are colonies and coloncls-colo-
nels who worthily wear their titles legiti-
mately won. For this small, but emincntly
respectable class, THE BULLETIN has all
proper respect. But there is another class
of colonies; and every community in the
country is afflicted with them. They assume
their titles as reward for glibness of
tongue and for the facility with which they
have fought, and still continue TO fight, the
battles of the late war on paper. They are
the distinguished colonies of the pen
brigade. They are of the class of fellows
that during the war patted the brave men
on the back who went to the front and
stood ready to sacrifice everybody and
everything save themselves and their world
ly effects for the glorious cause. They
shrunk behind the petticoats which
stood between them and the
service they owed their country, and
in that safe entrenchment discharged their
pop-guns of abuse upon their betters. War
had no terrors for Them They knew moth
ing of its realities and hence they continue
to mimic it. The valiant colonel who runs
the State Gazette at Springfield is a con-
spicuous representative of this class Of war
riors. He wants the Old fight fought over.
He shrieks traitor at the sight of Dem
ocrat, while his own services are at the bid
ding Of party that has betrayed the people,
and is the tool Of every privileged in
terest of the country. The col
onel should pause. War is
not his game. During all his
life he has been total strangerto it-eXcept
as he Numbered forth his flats through the
columns of an obscure weekly from a safe
retreat where even the echoes of war were not
heard. Criticism of the military record of
anybody at his hands dwindles into broad
burle sque. But we know that beneath the
armor he has donned there beats
a tender heart. He should remember that
Judge Allen, like himself, was civilian,
but unlike himself, wears no military
badge or title. He should be fair, there
fore, with Judge Allen. The colonel
surely has not forgotten that beneath the
sway of men entirely great the pen is
mightier than the sword, In the entirety
of his greatness let him abandon the sword.
1t is not in his line. That shoemaker
thrives best who sticks to his last. Colonel,
direct your pen in the channels of peace.

Even the opponents of this important
scheme for the Improvements of the Missis-
sippi mouth at South Pass must admit that
a large and satisfactory measure OF success
has attended the construction of the jetties
by Captain Eads. Indeed, outside OF the
professional circles, in which opposition
mny DO developed by personal jealousics
or rival interests, there is general express
sion Of approval Of the plan. which is, in
our opinion, justified by the results already
obtained The effects on the commerce Of
New Orleans and Of tho whole region of
which the Mississippi is tho natural outlet
arc already very marked, and if we may
judge by the interest taken in the
progress of tho operations by the mer-
chants Of the Crescent City no doubts as
to their success can be entertained. How
ever, q controversy, marked by considera-
bio aspcrity, Is in progress between Captain
Eads, tho promoter and engineer OF the
Mississippi jetties, and General Humphreys,
Chief OF Engineers of tho United States
Army, as to the extent and permanent chaf-
acter of the improvements already accom-
plished.
In tho attack on the jetty system. and in
it's defence, there is exhibited perhaps lit
tie too much personal feeling to give weight
to the arguments employed. Captain Eads
has an unquestionable right to carry out
his plans according to the law of Congress
authorizing the improvement, without
any interference by the Chief Of En-.
gineers, who, IL seems, has personal
as we'll as professional objection to them

What Is Papal IAfautbility :

In tho fourth letter from IA Roman
Prelate," which we publish to-day, the sub
ject of Papal iniallibility and its definition
Us dogma and article of faith by the Coun-
ell of the Vatican in 1870 is boldly but care
fully discussed In the first place, it is
asked, In what does the iniallibility con
sist, granting that it is a regularly formu-
lated and proclaimed dogma Of the Catholic
Church The Council declared that the Pope
is infallible when he speaks er cathedra. It
is natural, then, to ask, When does he
so speak? In tho popular mind there is
much uncertainty and confusion upon
this point. The general answer is when he
speaks as universal teacher of the faithful /;
but unfortunately the Vatican Council has
left no clear rules by which to distinguish
when he speaks er cdthedrd and when as a
simple parsonage. Bossuet declared that
the Pope was infalliblo when he taught
after consulting with the bishops aud in
accordance with their views. Tendon
limits ex cathedra speaking to the condemna-
ton by the Pope OF heretical doctrines and
the consequent cutting off from the Church
of those opposing the Popes dogmatic
definition. st. Alphonsus Ihguori excludes
private letters and special briefs from the
pontiiical acts which are binding in faith
strongly as he supported Papal infallibi!ity
against tho followers of Jansenius. AS
leading to popular error and doubt upon
the true limits Of the Pope's iniallibiity
the dogma of the Vatican Council is, there
fore, unfortunate. While not in effect
going further than what the Church had
long acknowledged, the Council left its
affirmation subject to misunderstood
ing. In view Of this significant fact
the question of the regularity of the
proceedings of the Council and the acts
which called it into being become of great
Importance. Our correspondent makes out
a strong case against the regularity, and his
declaration that Leo XIII. can declare the
proceedings thereat irregular is worthy OF
the widest consideration.

A Surprise Party For Henley.

While the Henley critics are laughing ut
Columbias style OF rowing one Of the most
genuine surprise PARTIES is now crossing
the Atlantic that, in a sporting way, Eng
land has over seen. According 10 all her
traditions she holds that to row fast a
crew must be absolutely together and all
the rowers must move as one. But the four
now in mid-occan move not as one but as
four. She says men under hundred and
forty pounds are too light for q university
crew, and for half century the record
shows that.sho believes it; yet three out OF
this four average but one hdndred and
thirty-fiyo each, and the whole four under
ono hundred and forty. But can they
go2-aid stay? Yes, rs she will find before
they are dozen hours at Henley. They
will, if all right, give the fastest amateur
team in England y terrible race all over
that mile and five-sixtcenths, and do it in
beat large enough to carrysa barrel Of
flour with them. But how do they dc
it2 When the famed London rowing -four
were beaten foot and half in mile and
half by the Beaycrwycks at the Centen.
NAL they took eight minutes fhy-fve
seconds, or thirty-threc seconds moro than
the Halifax fishermen on the same track
Yet their rowing was the most faultless
ever seen in America, while the fishermen
were not nearly SO skilful. Then what
made tho latter win? Because they were
tougher men. What will make "the gel
there" stroke Of the Shoowaccaemettcs dc
we'll at Henley? The same reason. 1
nothing happens tothem Henley had bette
get in all their laughing possible before
July A, as, whetherrhey win or lose, their
will not be ncarlyfso much laughing after
ward.

Mr.. Hayes came into Office as civil SER

we venture to say that not the most vehe-
ment Of those who denounced his promises
MS shams would, in his place, have disgraced
the Presidential Office and the public ser
vice by such appointments as we have. re-
cited. No one believes that he doubted his

have more zealously ''taken care
Of" the persons concerned in them The
forgery Of electoral certificates and the
other dirty and disgusting crimes OF reck-
less carpet-baggers do not seriously affect
the good name of the country. They are
the acts Of adventurers. The party which
sustained them in power and condoned
their offences may be held responsible for
its blunder, but the perjurers and forgers
are only excrescences in the body polite.
But when men intimately associated with
the authors Of these crimes, their
partners and allies, are persistently re-
warded by the President, the people
have a right to be offended and indig-
nant.

The Proposed Com mercinl Treaty
with France.

The visit Of M. Leon Chotteau to this
country for the purpose Of enlisting the CO.
operation of our commercial representatives.
in securing the ratification of new Franco
American treaty of commerce has been
attended with decided success. Already
the Boards Of Trade of the chief
manufacturing centres and ports of
import and export have agreed to discus
sion OF the preliminary points by COM
mittces Of their bodies, and there is some
probability that the scheme for congress
at Paris during tho present year will be
successfully carried out The advances
made in the various branches Of production
and manufacture in this country have been
so rapid as to promise us practical
independence OF imports within a short
time. But as the life Of trade is the
exchange Of commodities, and as we cannot
expect to sell where we do not consent to
buy, the necessity for thorough under
standing OF our commercial relations with
other countries will impel us to open our
own ports to the goods of friendly nations
on favorable conditions. France has
always exhibited such a warm friend
ship for the United States that we
may cultivate with advantage the closest
commercial relations with her, feeling
assured that so long as she remains repub-
lican 50 long will tho interchange OF trade
between her ana this country DO based on
mutual confidence. We want a market for
our surplus products, and France needs
these productions for the maintenance Of
her many industries. We hope, therefore,
that the negotiations for treaty Of COM
merce will prove satisfactory.

The WEATHER.--Thc storm centre which was
on Saturday afternoon in Western Pennsy l,ania
moved rapidly during yesterday III a north
eastcrly direction 10 New brunswick, the centre
passing over the Hudson River Valley about
midway between New York and Albany. Heavy
rains attended the movement Of the depression,
extending along the Atlantic coast from Georgia
to Novn Scotia, except at New York, where tho
weather was partly cloudy and pleasant. The
storm having discharged much Of its rain west
OF tlic Allegheny Mountains, the coast prccipi-
taiion was chiefly duo to the influence of the
cool air currents from the north and northwest
on the moist mir over the western margin OF the
Calf Stream. In the Mississippi Valley the sub
sidiary depression noticed IN yesterdays
HERALD has developed into another storm
centre, with heavy and general rains and brisk
to high winds in the West. The centre il now
moving rapidly over Western Pcnnsy lvania, fol-
lowing in the track Of the preceding disturbance
Of Saturday, which has already passed into
the Atlantic Variable and rising temperatures
prevail ia nearly all the districts The condi-
sions Immediately west Of Iowa and in the
Lower Missouri Valley indicate the probability
that tornado or heavy northcry winds will be
experienced In those regions. The weather in
New York and it's vicinity to-day will be warm
and cloudy, With rain and high southcrly coast
winds, followed by cooler and clearing weather.
Tomorrow IL will DO warmer and partly cloudy
