Separation of Church and State.

The French Senate yesterday, after
long debate, adopted a bill for the sepa-
ration of church and State by vote OF
lSl against lO2. The vote was sannounc-
ed amid enthusiastic scenes aud cries OF
'Iong hge the republicp' and "Long
live liberty"
This is the final parliamentary stage OF
the bill, which will be promulgated IN
the Official Journal today, when it will
become effective Immediately.
The action OF the Vatican regarding
the law has not yet been definitely an
nounced. The French clergy, while
opposing the measure, appear to be dis
posed 20 conform to the new system.
The fundamental principles of the bill
insure entire liberty ofconscience respect
ing religion, with restrictions concerning
the exercise of religion which are en-
tended to preserve public order.
Ia the future the State will be en-
,irelv free from connection with all re-
ligiOuS sects.
The bill for the separation of church
and State passed the Chamber of Depu-
ties July by the decisive vote Of S4l
to 299 It's fnal passage marks the
elimination of the strained relations
which have long existed between the
French government and the Vatican.
1t sweeps away a system which dates
from 1901, when the famous cOncor-
dat was signed by Plus VII and Napo-
leon.

Shanghaing Practices.

A dispatch from Richmond says that
Feley Bella, Who is Hungarian aud an
Austrian subject, writes that ne is fOrcl-
bly detained on the oyster boat Daniel,
No. 9, working in the waters o; West
moreland county. He asserts that he
was brought from Baltimore to West
moreland on various attractive promises,
but finds himself virtually slave. His
nominal wages are $l4 month. lie
complains that be has been beaten and
otherwise maltreated, and that the cap
tain of the boat detains him on board by
force and refuses to allow him TO go
ashore.
The letter was written to Hungarian
in New York, and was sent by him to q.
i. Droste. the Austro-Hungarian vice
consul in Richmond. Mr. Droste has
consulted an attorney in Richmond, and
the Commonwealth attorney of West
moreland county has been written on the
subject. Very likely the case will go
into the United States court under the
statutes forbiddiDg peonsge. AS the
man who alleges that he is being detain-
ed in slavery and badly treated is an
Austrian subject, the matter will be
taken up by The Austrian Ambassador at
Washington if the ordinary machinery
of the courts fails to give relief.
Carrying his broken arm in sling
and showing evidence of having been
roughly handled, Edward Casey, aged
nineteen years, of Philadelphia, called
at detective headquarters yesterday and
told the authorize, that he been shang-
haied and bru,ally treated on board an
oyster boat in Chesapeake Bay. He
