POPE LEO.

The Pope's Allocution-or sd-
dress to his clergy, as given by cor
respondent of the London Times,
rather warrants the opinion that Leo
XIII. will not follow the extreme
dogmas, which his predecessor
deemed so important if not vital to
pontifcal Importance. The lost tenn
poralities appear to be yielded
without an effort. The point upon
which the main stress is put, is that
OF the relation between Pope aud
Cardinals. The sacred college typ
ifies the Council of the seventy ad-
visers of the Mosaic government of
the lsraelites-which was the cher
ished wish of the Council of Trent,
that the administration of the Uni
versal church, should rest upon the
Council of Cardinals.
This, is taken as a clear hint of
return to the old constitution of the
church, and the reference to the
Council of Trent seems plainly in
tended as repeal of the ACT of the
Vatican Council which by declaring
Pope Plus *. infallible, entitled
BIN to dispense with the advice of
either college or council. To the
Vatican Synod itself, to the pIocla-
nation of the dogma of infallibility,
or of that of the Immalculate Con-
ception, and to all tie acts of Plus
TX, except the reconstruction of the
Scottish hierarchy, no allusion what
ever is made in the ailocutiOn. The
acts of the deceased Pope have been
sanctioned by the church and must
stand, but Pope Leo seems to give
them the go by. By his choice of
Cardinal Di Pietro, one of the
youngest aud decidedly most liberal
of the Cardinals, as Camerlengo, or
Chamberlain, the Pope confirms the
hope of those conciIatory views
which were always thought to ami
mate him, and which were expected
to actuate his policy in his dealings
with the civil powers.

Sherman and the Bankers.

Secretary Sherman made a visit on
Monday to the First National Bank,
in New York City where he discuss
ed The condition of fthe bond market
with especial reference to the four
per cents. He said he would he able
to resume specie payments at the
date fixed by law, and expressed
desire that the banks of the principal
cities should aid him in every reason
able way. a conference was held
with few Presidents of the leading
National Banks of the city in the
Bank of Commerce. Among those
present were Secretary Sherman, At
torney General Devens, General Hill
house, of the sub-Treasury and Pres
idents of eight National Banks.
The conference lasted about an
hour, and strict secrecy was eujoined
upon all who were present. Secre-
tary Sherman declined to impart amy
information, saying that no conclu-
sion had been reached, and that when
something of definite character was
accomplished he would make known
the result.
By other persons present it WAS
stated that Secretary Sherman an
nounced that he had solicited con
ference with the Bank Presidents of
this city with the view of securing
their active cooperation in the re-
sumption of specie payments at an
early date. He referred to the
amount of gold on hand and stated
he was willing to dispose of one hun
dred million fOur and half per cent.
with accrued interest at O5, or he
would sell four per cents. at par with
I per cent. commission. His PROPOSE
tiUn, it is stated, was that the banks
should agree to purchase the latter
securities to the extent of one hun
drsd million, to be divided in INSTALL
ments from FIVE million to ten million
as the banks demand, payments to
be made in gold for the full amount
of one hundred million by January
lst, 1879. In this way it was claim
ed that the Secretary would be able
to reserve $IO,OOO,OOO in gold during
the summer, and s5,OOO,OOO per
month for the rest of the year, and
resumption would be easy.
Mr.. Sherman then asked the gen.
tiemen present for their views on
this proposition. One Bank Presi-
dent, it is understood, took exception
to this plan, and held that it was
asking too much of the banks to pay
the Government los for the 44 per
cents. when they are only command
ing lO3 in the open market, and he
feared the banks would be assr ming
too great a risk in subscribing for a
hundred million bonds to be paid for
in gold by next January.
The discussion was of a general
nature, and was freely participated
in. The Secretary thanked the bank
officials for their presence and ad-
vice, and, without arriving at any
definite results, the conference ad-
ionrned.

A peculiar feature of democracy
has appeared of late as connected
with John O'Conner, Representative
from Montgomery County-chair-
man of the committee on military
affairs and Soldiers Orphans Home,
whose character has been developed
as a deserter and bounty jumper not
only, but minute description of him
comes from the warden of Jackson
Penitsntiary, Michigan, to which he
was ticketsd for robbery of a drunken
man in saloon, of $I96. Of course
the democracy defended him in pub
lie but caused the resignation of his
Craftsmanship. He has now left his
seat in the legislature, and his return
is not looked for with any degree of
confidence.

The character of Cancellation
brought forward by the South to
meet the article rendered by the
President, is quite characteristic, and
is just the thing that the Republi-
cans of the North have expected.
Gov. Hampton, one of the high con-
tracing parties in the Cancellation
enterprise, proposes to pardon Con-
gresham Smalls, now on trial, charg-
cd with bribery, if the President will
make an Offset, by the pardon of a
gang OF murdersrs, who perpetratsd
IN cold blood, the Hamburg and FL
lngton atrocities. To the credit of
Smalls, he Indignantly spurns the
proposition, claiming that as he is
innocent of the charges preferred
against him, he would not accept a
pardon and thus tacitly acknowl-
suge bis guilt. lie demands that
ne have fair trial and have the mat
ter tested. This Cancellation bust
ness would be very convenient
stalking horse for South Carolina
bulldozlng and murder, If it can be
used IN the way proposed. The
liyss of Is or 20 Negroes, in South,
ern estimation is only an equivalent
to a charge of bribery, trumpetod
up as such charges have been, when
ever there is any one too offensive
to the HamptonS, Buffers, &c, to be
suffered the enjoyment of life and
noerty, with these Southern scions
of nobility.

The Railroad Bill.
Special Dispatch to the Leader.

WASHINGTON, April 9.-After a
month of debate the Senate to-day
passed the bill compelling the Union
Pacific Railroad to set aside as a
sinking fund each year for thirty
years henceforth FIVE per cent. of the
net earnings, to meet the bonds of
that road at maturity. The unex-
pectedly large majority in favor of
the bill was due perhaps to the au-
dacious way in which J. Gould, who
has been here several weeks opposing
the blll, managed his lobby, and such
pointed illusions were made to it in
the Senate by Edmunds, Thurman
and others that several Senators who
were opposed to the bill dare not
vote against it. This afternoon.
Gould secured, by some influence
from Sergsant-a:-Arms French. the
use of the room held sacred for the
President of the United States, and
there kept up q reception, being clos
eted, from time to time, with different
Senators who were opposing the bill
Prominent among these was Stanley
Matthews. As the House Commit
tee on Railroads has already agreed
to report this bill favorably it will
receive early attention in the House
and will, no doubt, be passed. Mr..
Gould has spent large amount of
money opposing this bill, has had
large and influential lobby work
ing III his interest, among whom
were several New York women of
attractive appearance and respecta-
,,., Oie social I standing. A Chicago wo-
man mar mas been in his employ and is
stili here occupying handsome anart.
ments and entertaining Congressmen
with lavish attentions.

Cannot Sell Her Cotton Goods.


The Manchester Guardian attrib-
utes the lndisposition of the mer-
chants to buy cotton goods in the
English market to the dearness of
food throughout India, whence a
large portion of such goods manu-
factured in Manchester have been
exported. 1t must also be borne in
mind that since America began to
provide large quantities of cotton
goods for the markets in India as
well as China, a preference has been
shown for them because they are
made of long staple cotton, and are
unmixed with the short staple, while
English cotton goods are mixed.
Most of the cotton goods exported
from England to India are manu-
factured of Egyptian cotton, the
staple of which is short and weak.
Even the native store keepers of
Cairo manifest preference for our
cotton goods, and are willing to pay
higher price for them. The Eng
lish also are killing their market by
a villainous habit of doctoring infe-
rior articles of cotton with various
preparations to thicken and give
them lustre, and to make them ap-
pear like frst-class goods.
EVILS OF SILVER NOT YET AVERT
ED.-Uniess we are under strong
delusion, the very best service those
who have opposed the Silver bill can
render to the country, is to stick to
their opinions and warnings, and ex-
ert whatever influence they have in
preparing the country for its worst
effects, by procuring State legisla-
tion in aid of the gold standard, and
hasten contract on it, and strength
ening the public and private con-
science with regard to the obliga-
tion of contracts, and the danger
and disgrace of a shifting standard
of value. This is due to the poor
and ignorant, even from those who
care nothing about the hondholders
or the public credit. A fuctuating
standard Is curse to a country, for
it converts all trade into gambling,
and enables, as nothing else does,
the speculator to live off the poor.
1t will never be time to "wheel into
line" until the country has gone
back to the most stable measure of
value, and until the whole people is
permeated by deep and lasting
sense of its moral as well as its COM
mercial Importance. Nation.
