1t seems that our friend Mr.. s. S.COx ran a great
risk in making his appearance, for one night only,
at a German theatre in the Bowery for while he
was discoursing beautifully on MendelssOhn and
Music and the laws of Beauty and such things, the
Speakership boom in Washington which had cost
him so much trouble, nearly came to end through
neglect. These little affairs are exceedingly pre-
cartons, and their very existence depends upon
scientific and incessant nursing. Mr.. Cox relaxed
his vigilance for not than twenty four hours,
and it is said that in that brief time many of his
colleagues got away from him that Washington
presented to his eyes his return scene of awful
desOlatiOn. However, all hope is not gone. The es-
capped Congressman may be caught again; bnt there
must be no more fooling with theatres.
The Roman "crSIs" mas arrived again. the row
between the Pope and the American archbishops
having broken ont in "A new place. We hoped,
when we heard that Cardinal JacObini had enter
tanned the Americans ut banquet and that "n0
noteworthy incident occurred" during the feast
we hoped, we say, that the trouble was all over.
But then so much depends upon what you call
noteworthy incident" In some circles fight at
dinner especially toward the end of dinner is not
a particularly noteworthy incident; and if the
American archbshops had thrown empty bottles at
the Cardinal and broken the crockery over one
anOthcr's head there are those who would have said
that the most reverend fathers had enjoyed very
pleasant day and that nothing noteworthy had hap
pencd. At any rate the fcud seems to have been I'M
commonly lively the next morning and the Amcri-
in such fine spirits that as the two-cent
cable informs u.s. they waited upon the Pope and
warned him" not to NEEDLE any more with Irish
politics" This must have been great scene, and
the reporter Justly observes that it will give Ills
Holiness vivid idea the strength Of the tic be-
tween Ireland and America. We should say that it
would give Pope Leo several vivid ideas. lie must |
begin to doubt whether there has not been some |
mistake about the invitations that Democratic |
Fourth-Ward Primary has been shipped TO him in- |
stead of cargo of bishops.
General Butler says that he has always held that |
"when parties change principles patriots change |
parties" Yes, that is undoubtedly the rule that |
governs patriots. BY the way, General, what mo-

The interesting news Is teegraphed from Column |
bus that the general management of Mr.. PendletOn's
campaign for the Senatorship has been committed |
to Charles W. Woolley; and perhaps we should not |
be surprised to hear ut the time that the air of
Columbus il full Of rumors of "trading." Mr.. |
Woolley is the gentleman who conducted, under the
signature of " Max entertaining cipher cores

last weeks of 1876, in the course of which he asked
and obtained authority to buy the electoral vote of
Florida for 800, 600 There was simplicity about |
Mr. Woocy's methods at that time which reminds |
us of the parallel frankncss of Mr.. Smith NJ Weed |
in South Carolina but in reality the men were not |
alike. Weeds diTcctness was almost brutal 4; |
WOoley's art was so light and easy that the |

also engaged in the business of buying up ague-
smttcn Pariahs in Floridal refused TO associate
with him. or to trust Tilden's interests to man 50

trade after all. When the Cipher Committee sub
pGnacd him to give testimony about the affair, he
wrote an Incompatible letter declining the invita-
ton the plea that he did not feel very we'll; and
tho committee, which had already received great
deal more evidence than it wanted. did not press
him. We are happy to know that Mr.. Woolley's
health is far restored that he attend to bust

Tho opinion of the Rome CORE ,pondsnt of The

Rufus King, in the " Diplomatic Correspondence"
