RADICAL Trouble ABOUT THE DEMOCRATIC
NoMNAroN. The fear of Chase is dreadful
thing in the radical thoughts, and seems to go
with the leaders in their dreams, even If IL does
not prevent their getting an ordinary allowance
of Sleep The latest indication is the attempt
Of the roaring radical organ to conjure up q
candidate In the person Of that unselfsh states
man, the Hon. Horatio Seymour. Anybody
will suit them better than Chase, and thus One
organ urges Pendleton as their only man,
another sets up Chase and third seems to fancy
that the democrats have no particular need of
any candidate at all. 1t is astonishing what an
interest the radicals take in the welfare of the

have received with your reports OF the 22d
and 23d June the text OF the allocution delivered
by the Holy Father in the consistory of the
cellency, by telegraph, the unfortunate impress
sion which that manifestation has produced here.
The explanations given In your dispatches
of the 23d could not mitigate the effect of
the Holy Fathers words. We assuredly
appreciate the friendly consideration evinced
Tor the person OF the Emperor, and his
Majesty is certainly not insenslble to that mark
of difference. We believe. as your Excellency
affirm S, that the Pontidcal alloeution, COMPARED
with many other documents of the same nature
emanated from the Holy See, does really bear
the stamp OF certain tendency to temper eX-
preston as much as the point OF view of the
Church permits. 1t ls none the less obvious that
the language his Holiness uses towards the I'm.
perial Government and the new institutions of
Aus tria is OF a severity of which we consider we
have some right to complain. ] do not wish, on
the present occasion, to enter into controversy
little in accordance with my sentiments of re-
spect for the Holy See and my desire tor con-
cilation. l nevertheless cannot lefrain from
few observations which beg your EXcellency
to bring to the notice of the Court of Rome.


We cannot, in the 6rst place, admit the Obliga.
tion which imposes on the Holy See the neces-
slty OF following certain precedents, and OF
adopting towards Austria the same proceedings
as towards other countries of which the Holy
See has had 10 complain. Is it possible, In tact,
TO draw any comparison? Have we attacked the
territory or the property of the church? Have
we oppressed the Catholic religion and it's min
listers? Putting aside examples which do not
bear on the case, we may, think, boldly affirm
that there is no country in Europe where the
Catholic Church has privileged position as in
Austria notwithstanding the laws OF May
25. This circumstance ought 10 have been
taken into account before the imperial
Government was coniounded in the
same reprobation with other governments which
were in opposition TO the Church and the
Catholic religion in different way. We can
understand that the Holy Father may have felt
IT to be indispensable to the protest against the
laws which modify the situation created by the
ConcoIdat OF 1855. We fully expected a pro-
ceedmg of this kind, and we might have
accepted 1t silently even If its form were less
cCDcllia ory than we permitted ourselves to
hope. But what we cannot pass over without
objection Is the condemnation hurled against
the fundamental laws on which the new institu-
tions Of the empire are based. These laws
were not the subject of dispute, aud by
attacking them as 1t has, the Holy See deeply
wounds the national feeling, and gives TO

An English Opinion of Gen. Grant.


The Pail Mall Gasette, speaking of
General Grant, says: No sooner was it
certain tkat General Grant would be
elected President than it was observed
the size of his mail bags enormously in
creased. Letter carriers were discharg-
ing piles of letters into his Office from
morning till night. The General HIM
self was waylaid at every corner when
ever he passed over the threshold of his
door. All this, of course, signiiied the
desire of many thousands of patriots to
devote their energies to the service OF
the Government. But General Grant
is Que OF the toughest jobs" to which
otfice-seekers ever yet addressed them
selves. He numerically snubs personal
applicants, and all letters he turns
over to his staff. These gentlemen open
envelopes, and directly they see the
word doffice" they have instructions to
put the communication behind the fire.
1.-THE General does not want to see any
of these applications" said a member
of the staff to visitor lately. "He
thinks possibly there may be some good
men among them, and he does not wish
to become prejudiced against them by
being forced to consider their claims
now" This is very characteristic OF
the man, but it does not hold out very
bright prospect to the hordes OF whisky
drinking idlers who spend their lives
in badgering public men for some post
where the pay is substantial and the
work nominal. 1t is believed that Cen
eral Sherman will succeed Grant as
Commander-in-C Chief-an appointment
Grant would be sure to make.

From Harrey Sickler, Esq, the able editor Of the


TuRkhdnaock Democrat, Pennsylvania


"Our only child, about three years of age, was
attacked by pmples on his forehead. They rapidly
spread until they formed a loathsome and viruent
sore, which covered his face and actually blinded
his eyes for some days. A skilfu physician applied
nitrate of silver and other remedies, without any
apparent effect. For fifteen days we guarded his
hands, lest with them he should tear open the fes
tering and corrupt wound which covered his whole
face. Having tried every thing else we had any
and applying the iodide of potash lotion, as you
direct. The sore began to heal when we had given
the first bottle and was well when we had finished
the second. The child's eyelashes, which had come
out grew again, and he is now as healthy and fair
as any other. The whole neighborhood predicted
that the child must die.''
