SINGULAR as it may appear, Italy
now includes the Pope as an element
of it's nationality. Garibaldi destroy
ed the power of the Pope as an impe.
rial sovereign, dissolving his civil rule
in Rome and enforcing that of the
King as supreme over the soil and peo-
pie Of Italy, leaving 10 the Holy Faith.
er the charge Of their souls. With au-
thority thus circumscribed, the Pope
has been miserable ever since. 1t de-
stroyed the peace of Plus TX, and rem
dered irascible temper otherwise Sc
rene as an Italian sunset. Leo had
scarcely seated himself in the chair OF
St. Peter when he too began to show
his unhappiness in the lack of earthly
power. All the Popes have refused to
render unto Cesar the things which
are Cesar's. Garibaldi was the first
of the earth's great heroes who forced
the Popes to do this, but it has made
them miserable. Leo has succeeded in
inducing some foreign Governments
to interfere in his behalf, and now to
avert such complication the Govern
ment of King Humbert is considering
epropriety gilmore eflicaciously guard
ing and guaranteeing the liberty and
independence of His Holiness in Rome,
in order to prevent all foreign interfer-
ence in his behalf. The idea is to as
sert that the Papacy Is a part of the
nationality of Italy, as the Greek
Church is of that of imperial Russia,
with the king as its ex-officio head, as
the Gear is Of that of the Greek
Church. This would give new turn
to the politics of the Roman Church.
The proposition to prevent the Pope
from leaving Rome, involves the right,
if he does, to elect Pope who will re
main there. The Itatian Cardinals
might be induced to do this, and the
doing of it would convulse the Catho-
lie Church of the world The head of
the Roman Catholic Church can never
change bis residence to any other city
in the world, without disrupting it,
and the process of disruption seems
naturally to be involved in the politi-
cal aspirations of the Pope, who in re.
fusing to render unto Caesar the things
which are Cesar's, will fall by the In.

the postmastership, and it is generally
believed that the hest way to settle
the rather bitter fight among them ia
to submit their claims to vote of the
Republicans of that place. A petition
is to be for varded to Congressman
elect Miller, of this place, requesting
that he agree to recommend the man

Pertaining to The Pittsburgh
az 81 esiern.

There was a meeting in Pittsburgh,
on Friday week last, Of James Gallery,
Harry w. Oliver, Jacob Painter, Jr,
Il. X Hyndman, John w. Chaliant, w.
@. Mobley, Campbell B. Heron, and
j. p. Greer and other capitalists at the
office of the Pittsburgh a. Western
road, to effect the consolidation of the
Red Bank & Youngstown and Pitts
burgh e. Western roads. A charter
was obtained for the Red Bank II
Youngstown railroad some weeks ago,
when it was understood that il was
intended to strengthen the Pittsburgh
IL Western, as the corporators were all
stockholders Of the company, which
has figured SO prominently in the local
railroad circles during the past year.
The new road is to run from Red
Bank, on the low grade division of the
A. V. II. r., to the State line, in Law
renee county, and connect there with
the Youngstown branch of the Pitts
burgh Il Western. The advantages of
the new road are apparent Besides
supplying the northern line Of the
Pittsburgh & Western triangle, it is
claimed by its corporators that with
its connections it will form, by sixty
FIVE miles, the shortest route yet pro-
jected for the transmission of through
freight from east and west Hitherto
all through freight carried by the
Pennsylvania railroad had to pass
through Pittsburgh. A resolution
was passed to unite the companies,
and the necessary details were all ar:
ranged. Mr. Gallery, Of the Pitts
burgh Il Western, gays their bonds
amount to over $6,OOO,OOO, and that
they are quoted at par, with none for
sale

let Laws of 1881, all borough and

taxes, are made first lien on real es

q set of new books will be required for
that purpose. in case judicial sale

1T is stated that bill to divide the
Territory OF Dakotah on the line of the
46th parallel, and for the admission of
the southern half as State, will soon
be introduced into Congress The
Territory is certainly large enough to
divide, and there is little doubt that
the southern portion has a sufficient
population to justify the organization
of State government. The only
question in dispute seems to be the
name which the proposed new State
shall take-that is, the people of each
half are clamorous for the name "Da-
kota." The Tribune very wisely
suggests that as the southern half or
proposed State, contains the Dakota
liver, it should bear the name "Dako-
ta," and that the northern portion
should be called the Territory of Lin
coin.

APPOINTING POSTMASTERS
-REMEDY NEEDED.

There is nothing becoming such
terrible annoyance in this country as
the appointment of persons to NIL the
post offices. In fact it is one OF the
great troubles to the Government as
well as to the people. They are ofhces
that many desire and consequently
there are constant efforts made to OBJ
tain them. The system has heen to
apply for them by petition, and IN
former times the number and strength
of names to petition might have de-
cided who should be the postmaster OF
town or village. But at present the
responsibility of change In post
Office is either thrown upon the men,
Der in Congress from the district, or
assumed by him. One natural result
of this is, that he hesitates to act, Of
ten perhaps from the fact that he can
not decide who of the applicants is the
best. the most worthy or the most
desired by the community interested
in the Office. Just now there are at
least two such cases in this county, in
which a change, from all reports
should be made in that Office. But
the statements and claims Of the ap-
plicants, made to the member or to the
department, are so conflicting that
there may be no change obtained at
either of them. Is there no remedy
for this state of affairs? We think
there is-and we have advocated IT
for years past.
This remedy would be in requiring
the applicants for post Offices to SUBJ
nit to an election by the people inter
ested in the office. This to be done
that the appointing power and the
member of Congress from the district
might be clearly informed who was the
choice of the people. If there can be
no law obtained for such an expression
of the community, the Department al
Washington could indicate that as
desirable mode of ascertaining the
wishes of the public in the matter
At the request Of the member ot Con
gress this might be procured. But if
| not. the member could, with reason and
propriety, require all applicants to
submit to tina. test. 1t would save
him much labor and embarrassment
that he should not have in all those
cases where we may not have full
personal knowledge of the merits OF tbs
applicants. All receiving their mail al
an Office might be permitted to vote
Or, if thought more advisable, only
those OF the same party, in power hav'
ing the control of appointments This
decision to be final and conclusive as
to which applicant should receive the
appointment. The member and the
Department by this means would not
only be saved harrassing annoyance,
but the popular will would be obtained
AS it is, much of their time is required
for the hearing and deciding, of con-
tests, often very bitter, for post Offices
AS the people are more interested thar
any other, let the burden Of deciding
be placed upon them. The rule could
be made to apply to nearly all the post
Offices in the country. But il only
made applicable to the smaller Offices
it would save an immense amount o.
expense to applicants as well as trou
BILE to the appointing power and al
others.

The Mississippi River Commission

NEW YORK, August lS,-At yesterday S
session of the Mississippi river commission
a determination was reached to recommend
the approximate allotment of the sum of
81, ,l2S,0oO, which is for the Improvement of
the river below Cairo, in the following man
ner For continuation OF the work at plenn
Point sixty miles above Memphis, $50, 600 /.
for continuation of work in progress NJ
Lake Providence, $4,000, for work at New
Madrid, seventy miles below Cairo, $50, 600
Tor work near Memphis, and for continue.
ton Of the work in the harbor of Memphis.
$4,000; for various harbor work in addi.
ton to the balance available, Sl2s,-
900; for repair of the Ieyees by
stoppage of existing gaps, Si,SOO, ,O05.
The sum OF 100000 was lett unallot,ed
tor contingent expenses. The commission
decided that work should be begun on, the
east bank ofthe river some miles above the
mouth OF the Iazoo, and should continue
upward. The commissioners recommend
that the sum OF $S0000J, which has been
raised by local authorities he applied in
such u way as to secure, in connection with
work done by the government,
continuance OF the lines OF leyee,
from below upward, With this end in
view the commissioners, in making the al.
lottment, took into consideration the
amount OF work likely to be.dons by Local
authorities, The work a, plenn Point and
Lake Providence consists principally in
narrowing the stream so as TO increase the
rapidity OF the current and prevent the for.
nation OF sand bars, which have tendency
to SHIFT the channel OF the stream. One of
the proposed projects is to pre-.
vent by embankment the flow
of the water Of the Mississippi
through the Atohaiaaya river. When the
Mississippi river rises the waters are often
diverted into this channel, and an incrcas.
ing tendency has appeared Of late ON the
part OF the great river to shift It's channel
entirely TO the course OF the smaller
stream, result which would prove disas.
