RUSSIA AND CoNsTANTINoPLE.

After thousand years of effort, says the
Philadelphia Press, Russia has reached the
goal of her ambition. The double-headed
eagle of Byzantium, which Sophia, the niece
brought in dowry to her husband, Ivan III.
of Russia, after four hundred years of Otto
man supremacy, again floats on the defenses
on the verge Of Constantinople.. Under the
barbarian dynasty of the Varangians as well
as under the Romanoff dynasty, the posses
sion of Constantinople has been the constant
object of Russian aspirations. At four diff
ferent times during the existence CT the Rurlc
dynasty were expeditions fitted out against
Constantinople In S65 fleet of two thousand

Golden Horn. When victory seemed to be
within reach sudden tempest destroyed

superstition Of its conquest by the Russians
has always prevailed among the Turks.
Under the Romanoffs the first hostilities
against the Turks began in 1878. They have
been continued at frequent intervals from that
date to the present day. The Museoyite en-
croachments on the territory of the Ottoman
empire have been going on for two centuries,
until one-third Of it has been absorbed. The
conclusion Of peace will virtually dispossess
the Turks of their dominions in Europe, Of all
Armenia, and of the ancient citadels that
guarded the European and Asiatic frontiers.

VICTOR EMANUEL's DEATH.
Trouble for Italy ON Account of a Ere"
fusai 10 Celebrate Masses for Him.
New York Tribune.I

The refusal of several Italian bishops to
celebrate funeral masses for the King pro-
voked serious disturbances. At Placenza the
bishops carriage was mobbed the WINDOWS
of the Episcopal Palace were smashed, and
the rioters were only dispersed at the point OF
the bayonet. At Bologna there were similar
demonstrations.
At Rome Cardinal Bilio urged the Pope to
send an encyclical letter to all the bishops,
enioining on them policy Of resistance, the
holding of consistory and the delivery of an
allocution in which it should be affirmed that
the advent Of the new King and the continu-
independence of the conclave. The same in
tolerant cardinal advised the Pope to decline
to receive any foreign representative who had
arrived to do honor to the remains OF the
despOler. l.. ..
Cardinal Manning pointed out the impru-
dence of this course, and, on the other hand,
the Inconsistency of yielding all points in the
question OF religious rites, especially as there
| deviate from the policy pursued by his father:
He diScountenanced any concession that could
be construed as an admission of the right OF
| the King to rule in the papal dominion. 1t
| was intended by the Italian colony in London
that solemn requiem mass should be per
| formed in commemoration OF the death OF Vic
| tor Emanuel The movement was supported
| by men OF all classes and views; even the
Church regarded it with favor, for priest
was among the promoters. 1t was necessary
to get Cardinal Manning sanction. Applica-
ton was made to him by telegraph, and it
was expected that he would Immediately give
| his permission. He is understood to have re-
piled that the Italians might have low mass
said il that would content them; but the
solemn obsequies first proposed were abso-
lutey interdicted. The prohibition was sub
| sequently modified.
| These incidents show that Cardinal Man.
nings influence at the Vatican is increasing.
| and that as he grows older he is becoming
less and less OF an Englishman.

School Funds.


The announcement that the House Com
mittee on Education and Labor will favorably
report. upon bill providing for the distribu-
lands among the States, for educational pur-
poses, is gratifying in the extreme. The
enactment of such measure by Congress
will be one of the bright spots in national
legislation, and cannotbe opposed except pos
sibly by those rabid individuals who are de-
nouncing government aid to any object what
ever. The first grant of land for school pur
poses was made by Congress in 1855, when Il
common schools. Since then the total grants
of land comprise 95,737,714 acres, of which
67,9s3,914 acres were the school sections, di-
rectly for the benefit OF the common schools,
and 100000 acres were for colleges OF agri
culture and the mechanic arts. The gov
eminent has been liberal, but not as liberal to
the cause of education as it should have been.
The aid proposed now is to be given to those
States which need it most, and il the direc-
ton of the funds be placed in proper hands,
will prove an invaluable agency for the extern
sion of popular education.

seen that the meeting calledby the Taxpayers
Union to discuss the matter Of a constitutional
convention, will take place at the corner Of
Canal and Royal streets, instead of Lafayette
Square, as previously announced The speak
ers will address the people from the balcony
of Griswold. 1t is important that every one
should attend as the question under discus
sion is one of the most vital that has agitated
Louisiana. In fact, it is Of as great moment
as the issues which were in agitation when
the people Of the State were seeking olsen
thralment from Radical oppression.

Themselves and are Discharged.
In the rule for contempt agafnstcJ. NJ Tom
linson, deputy collector, United States Com
missioner Lane and Deputy Marshal E. s..
Wurzburger for disobeying the order of the
Superior Criminal Court, Judge Whitaker
yesterday released the accused. twill be re-
msSlnbered that Deputy Marshal Wurzbhrger
made the arrest of Sheriff Houston on the oc-
casion when he sought to capture Anderson
In his office When the rule was called up As
sistant Attorney General Egan, on behalf Of
the State, did not desire to press the case after
the following answer was made to the rule:
Tomlinson under oath says that he acted
under misapprehension Of the law, and he
had followed the advice given by the United
States District Attorney, upon whose, Judg-
the time Of the service of the writ that the
Custom-House was not legally under the jul
risdiction Of a State court, and his action was
based upon this idea. He further sets forth
that he is convinced now OF the error ne has
fallen into, and assures the court that there
was no intention to contemn its orders.
Judge Egan, after thereading OF the answer
on behalf OF the State said that in his opinion
the dignity OF the court had been fully vim
dicated, and all the parties defendant in rule
had purged themselves of the contempt He
would. therefore ask the court that further
proceedings against these parties should
cease, and that the rule for contempt should
remain as It is.
Judge Whitaker said, in response TO Judge
Egan, that it was necessary for the court to
uphold its dignity and to see that it's orders
were not treated with indignity. He, how
ever, felt satisfied that the parties defendant
in rule had purged themselves OF any intent
to violate the orders of the court, and he
would therefore accept the magnanmous
offer made by the Assistant Attorney General
and dismiss the rule.

The grand memorial mass in honor OF our
late venerable Pope Plus TX will be celebrated
at the St. Louis Cathedral on Wednesday, the
twentieth instant, and will be the most im-
pressive and solemn ceremony Of the kind
ever performed in this city.
1t would be proper, as a mark of respect to-
wards the memory of the deceased Pontiff, as
a great and good man, that vessels in port
should display their flags at half-mast during
the celebration, and that business men close
their stores after 70 m, to allow their en-
also becoming for schools and colleges in the
city to have holiday ON this occasion.

CAPT. BROWN.

We meet every day on our streets the fam
iliar face of one whom we have always known
as staunch supporter of Democracy, and a
tried worker in the triumphant fight which
that party has made for the enfranchise-
ment of Louisiana. We mean Capt. Brown,
we'll known for his devotion in trying days to
the fortunes of Gov. McEnery. He has now a
vices rendered from 1876 to 1877. We are not
prepared to judge of the merits of that claim,
but Capt. Brown has certainly done much for
the popular cause, and deserves some kind of
an acknowledgment.

TIE RULE FOR CONTEMPT.
The supreme Court Decides I'm Favor O1
Judge Smith.


Chief Justice Manning yesterday read the
decision of the Supreme Court in the case OF
the State eK. rel. H. Geale vs. the Recorder OF
the First Court Of New Orleans on rule upon
the recorder for contempt.
Tt will be remembered by the readers Of the
DEMOCRAT that the rule for contempt was
taken upon tho affidavit OF Geale, charging
that Judge Smith had arraigned him in open
court and fined him, notwithstanding that
the matter Of writ Of certiorari, applied for
by the relator, was still pending before the
Supreme Court. The following is the opinion
of the court:
The relator, having been arrested on pro-
cess issued from the First Recorders Court
of New Orleans, obtained from this court q
provisional order for writ of certiorari, and
also mandate for prohibiting the recorder
from further proceeding In the trial until we
had incurred into and determined whether the
writ and mandate should be made peremptory.
Subsequent thereto the relator, alleging that
the recorder had disObeyed our mandate, and
had in violation thereof set the case for trial,
and had fined him (the relator) for non appear
the recorder to show cause why he should not
be punished for contempt, which was accord
ingly entered and served
The recorder has answered the rule, and
states unQef OaJn Thai treitie personally up
piled to him to place the case on the trial
docket for given day-that he suggested to to
Geale to come into court and there agree on
the day when the trial should be had, and
that on Geale's not appearing he continued the
case indefinitely, and then sent for Geale and
informed him OF the action thus taken--that
Geale appeared in courtand committed gross
contempt, for which he was fined.
It is proper to be remarked first, that when
Geale requested the Recorder to set the case
against him for trial, notwithstanding the
prohibition issued at his instance. the latter
should have answered that he could not pro-
coed further in that matter while the prohibit
ton was pending here, and If Geale desired {,
trial he must first withdraw or dismiss his
application for the writ and mandate already
issued by us.
But it is apparent that the recorder has not
| committed contempt of the authority OF this
court, but has only properly punished con CO,
tempt OF the authority of his own court. The
relator has trified with the process awarded
him, and has imposed on his counsel by a
Misrepresentation of the facts and must be
punished, as much as we can punish him, by
being mulcted in costs. Therefore, it is Or
dered that the rule Is discharged at the costs
of Herbert Geale.
