No wonder that they want tho present Parlinment to pass on tho bill, beeauso tho now Doputies (to bo elocted this 1hil) will not bo 8o docils and yiolding as the prosont onos, It is probablo that this bill will form an issuo in the coming campaign, and that it will ovontually lead to anothor of thoso con- flicts botwoon Government and pooplo by which tho history of .Prussin bocame 60 noted in the decndo bofore 1871, Tho question of tho duration of nactivo military servico (two or throo yonrs) will come up ngain, and tho party of the Loft will iusiat, a8 formerly, on its boing ro- duced to two yoara, Tho party of Progross Lag alrondy amended ite programme by aeldng from their candidates o pledge to opposo the prosent syatem of passing on bloo TUE WIIOLE MILITARY DUDGET, ortho so-called ' Pausch-Quantum," tho oxist- enco of which will conso logally noxt yoar, but the essenco of which tho Governmont will strive to presorve by all menns.

AvrLETON, Wis,, July 22, 1673, Ta the Editor of The Chicago Tribune: Bia: On Buudny night Inst, n shocking affray ocourred in this clty, in which o man named Garrett Hayes, an Irishman, latoly from Wauko- gan, Ill., was almost instantly killed, It scoms that Hayos aud hie nntagoniat, a Gorman named Eisiger, hed not boon on good torms for somo timo pst, having had sovoral provious quarrols, and it is paid that throats of stabbing Lad beon mado by tho latter. On Bunday, & horso belong- *ing to Elsiger bocamo ontangled in the brush, aud would no doubt have died, but Hayos hap- poned to discover it and rolessed it. To colo- brate this ovent Elsigor procured a keg of beer, and invited Hayos and his brothor-in-law, namod Aolhisor, to his house to nssist in drinking it. Hayos had been drinking whisky bofore he wont to Eisiger's, and, after Fnrtnl_dng frooly of tho beor, bocamo intoxioated, n which condition ho was always fGuarrolsomo and abusive, Of course the old feud was ‘ro- vived, and Hayos, after abusing Eisiger and his wifo, was turnod out of tho Louse. His wifo aud two of thoir childron wont with him, leavin, in the houso tho_othor child (thoy lad throe with Eisiger and his wife, Molhiser, wifo, and child, and a moan employed by Eisigor as a toam- arlinment | stor. Ilayos, after going part way homo, ro- turnod, it is supposed to get the romaining child, and, finding the door locked, smashod o window aud kickod opon the door. 'Ho was mot b{ Eisiger, and a strugglo onsued botweon thom. Melhiscr attempted to part thom, holding his littlo cbild on ono arm and keeping Hayos back with tho otber. They soparated, and Eisigor stopped into the pantry ndjoining, and, refurning with & butchoer-knife, reachod over Melhiser and struck Hayes in tho nock with the knife. The blow must hevo boen given with groat forco, ag it not ouly severed the jugular vein, but tho knifo passed down wohind the collar-bono, and also sovered tho main artery. The Dblood spurtod up highor than the ~door, and tho wounded man, after taking four or five atops, foll dead without n word, Eieiger is in custody, and trents tho matter lightly ; but it is the gon- cral opinion horo that, if not wilful murder, it is near cno%h fo it to iusure him a tong term at Waupun, Iayes, who is eaid to bave boen a hard-working, penceable man whon sobor, lesves n wife and threo childron in dostituto circum- stances, On Thursday lnst Loonard Willinms, an old resident of this placo, was so gevoroly injured by falling from & beam in o mill which ho was building at Shiocton, that ho died on Baturday morning. — e CROPS.

Jussen and the FJesuits, Translated from the Chicago Freis Presse. Tho Common Council voted last evening ogninat the confirmation of Mr, Edmund Jussen 08 8 momber of the Board of Education. The Irish and Gorman Ostholics, and several other membors of the Council who are controlled by tho Ultramontane Illinois Staals Zeilung, oppos- ed Mr. Jusgen, and it is an open secrot” that the intorosts of the Catliolic Church alone defeated him. After this oxhibition of controlling politi- cal influenco on tho part of the Ultramontanes, it ecomn hardly doubt{ul that the Motropolis of tho Wost i governod by the Holy Sea. Wo beliovo that it is time to sound the alarm at this encroachmont of Now-Catholleism upon tho field of polities. Wo protest onco for ali agninst the probable chargo, ns if weo intondod to attack tho dogmns and creed of the Catholio Church.

Tho Limes of this morning says: Tho Catholica won the victory in the Common Coun- cil ou Inst_ovening, Tho Mayor had nominated ox- Collector Jussen for a membor of tho Board of Educa- tion. Now, it {a not long since that Mr, Jussen wroto asories of letters from Germany to a paper in iy city, in which ho esponsed tho Dlemarck side of the war ngainst the Jesuits in that country, Tlo Oatholics 1ind not forgotton thia fact, and oy have been 86 ac- tivo in thelr opposition to his contirmation thatthe nomination was rejected on last ovening. Asido from theso anssortions of the Times, thoro aro other proofs at hand.

Two things follow inevitably from tho man- ner in which the opposition to Jusson was con ducted : First—That tho loading Catholics of Chicago aro nll adhorents of Jesuitivm. Second—That they intend to control our publia scliools in tho interost of their Church.

In Ils introduction, Xtonan onters into an olaborate discussion ad to tho authorship of the: Apocalypse, which is gonerally attributed to Bt.. John, y&u attempts to prove Ehat It must bo tho* ‘work of & mombor of the Churoh of Jerusalom ; tho Apocalypse I not of the Paulina schaol—it |. bronthos a conatant hatred of tho Gontilos, Ite suthor does not holong to the broad church; ho is n fanntic; ho thinks of nothing but Romo and Jorusalom ; Romo is to him the city of abomina~ tions; ho has seon its idolatrous pomps and its crimos; Jorusalom is tho beloved oity. Tho author of the great Apocalypse is very convors- ant with the numerous old Apocalypses %ho must have known nobt only tho Grock but the Hobrow lauguange. 1 these traits can bo woll applied to 8t. John, M, Ronan doubts, how- ovor, ?}1 S8t John wroto tho Apocalypse hime self, “It is enough for my these," says ho, ““that he knew it, and ho nllowed 1t to circulato under his namo.” What i3 this these M. Ronan nposks of ? He considors the Apocalypse us & sort of mystorious manifesto, asn protost against tho tyranny of Romo and tho crimon of its Em- porors. 8t John wasnot a literary man, -one wha could from momory, with fragments of ' the auncient Jewish book, composo a sort of myatical pamphlot of this sort. ~ Either tho synoptio vangolista are wrong when they reprosont the Apostles as plain and rudo mon,and notas learn-~ mF and scholustic, like tho Seribesand Pharisoos, or 8t. John was not likely to have composed the Apocalypyo himsolf ; but ina time whon pooplo did not care much about_litorary proporty, - 1o ‘may biavo accopted it, and allowed it to ciroulate undor his name, ‘I'ho book of AL, Renan opons with tho captivity of 8t. Paul in Rome. Noro s ontering his 2{th yonr. Tho cell of Bt. Paul booomes the focus of tho now religion, which soon finds do- voteos in the very houso of the Emperor, among the Jows, among the slaves, tho froedmen, Renan admits tho tradition of tho arrival of St. Potor at Romo ; Bt. Poter raprosonts tho passions of tho school of Jorusalom, of tho narrow church, and, though o was full of sdmiration for Paul, ho follows him and ncts as & prudent guido and counselor. Tho genoral boliof of the churches in the second century of onr era w. that Potor suffored martyrdom in Romo, but th Protestant professors mado grent offorts to prove that tho journey of 8t, Peter to Romo had uever taken placo, in ordor to shako the very foundation of the Papacy. Tho question hoy not gomuch importanco ns was at firet bolioved, as it is well ascortamed that Jesus did not insti- tuto any primate among the apostles, that Lo 'was not tho founder of the Episcopato, and that ho waa not likely to choose out Rome, from all other placos, ns tho #ecat of the primate of the Clmrcg. ‘The vexed question of 8t Potor's journcy to Rome bLas bocomo n mere historical problem, M. Ronan golyes 1t in the afiirmativo, Ho roprosents, in vivid colors, tho- followoers of tho now sect in the midst of fmporiul Nome, tho city of horrors and crimes, tho now Babylon, sad, full of an undisguined antipathy for the TRoman world, turning them away from the old sanctuaries of tho oflicial religion, accused by the muititude of tho most mystorious aud hoinous orimos, In vain old St. Paul preach submission to tho political _authoritics. Many of tho early Chris- tians had all tho ardor of tho zealots of Judea ; they hind tho spirit of martyrs. And how conld thoir sombre cuthusinem not be stirred by tho sight of Rome 2 T'ho world was given up to o mudman, *Whon Creear lost his mind, all the artorics of bis feeblo hond, disturbod by an uuhoard-of powoer, broko at tho samo timg, then madness bogan to rulo. Under Nero, it was somothing atrocions and comical at the samo time, grandiose and ‘absurd. As the Cisar was a good scholar, bis folly was particu- larly litorary.

Lot us imngine a man a8 .eensible s tho heroes of M. Victor Hugo, a porsonago of carnival, a mixture of tho madman, tho jocrisae, and (ho actor, with au absolute lm\vor, and charged with the mission of governing the world. He had not tho black wickoduess of Domitian,—thelovo of ovil for tho sake of ovil; ho was not extrav~ ngant like Caligula; ho was a consciontious ro- mauntiquo, an om}mror of tho opora, a melomane, who tromblod be oro the partorrg, and who mada’ it tromblo bofore him, and would nowadays bo o bourgeois, whose common sonse would have been | perverted by tho reading of the modorn poots and who would think himuelf obliged to imituto Haus of Icoland or the Burgraves,” I must notico for tho fivst timo in M, Renan this introduction of modern names in old sub- {cct ; it Is vory froquent in this now volume. 1o onco calls a friend of Nero, a quiet old Sona-~ tor, this ** scoptical Morimoo.” In tho sicgo of Jorusalom thore oro constant allusiona to tho siego of Iarls, to tho Government of the Na- tional Defoneo, to the Conununards, Thoso al- *lusions and comparisona seom to mo boneath the dignity of bhistory, Noro was au artist in orimo; his idonl of a gront man was the man who would do nuything, try anything, accumulate in tho smallost time tho greatost numbor of most sonsational dramas, He oven affoctod love and friondship, but moro- ly as dramatie sontimonts. IHo was haudsome, clover, and fond of ndmiration, Buotonius has lns Jeft us @ very ekact account of his court; it is onough perhaps to may that Potronius was tho most virtuous of Cresar's frionds. Any idoa with a man like Noro becamo a fixed ides. * Ho was hauntod with the memory of tho firo of Troy. Io had the unsposkable joy of playing tho part of Priam during the flro” of Rtoma.

On :uMh{nF tho place tho Pacha found that tho Ivory nud slave trades hod sproad all kinds of ovil rumors about tho oxpo itlon, inflaming the nativo tribos against it. Kabriki' bad boon in- formod by thom that Baker Pacha waa comin; ’ ot tho head of an Elgnfp“m nrmy, to take forci- blo posacssion of hls country and aunox it to Eg‘lry:,l with tho view of unntln& hoavy taxgs and tributes and carrying away the oaple. %h waa accordingly ngraod botwoon the g-ldom and tho chiofs to murdor Baker if possible, snd by .2very moans to provont the progross of tho Egyptian soldiers. Shortly after tho arrival of tho-Pagha with a li)m'tion of his troops at Mo- sindi, Kabridl, following an African oustom, sent ton jara ‘of pombe—s - boverage rosombling beor—to tho strangers, This liquor -was henvily charged with polson, andall tho gol- diora who partook of it woro suddenly seized with frightfel symptoms and soon fell to the earth ' Insonsible and apparontly lifolosa, By ndmlnlutednfnntrong antidotea the polson was neutralized in every caso and no livea wora lost.

Thoso mon woro all groatly fatiguod with the long jonrnoy into tho interior, and somo of thom wero suffering from the poisoned drink, Baker was thorfore compellod to boat a rotroat bofore tho swarms of onemios . easniling bim, and he retired after burning- his camp and heavy baggage, During soven days of great danger and hardehip tho baokward march of the Egyptians was soroly harassed, and an many as thirty mon woro loft dead on the ronto. At the ond of this porilous woelk -tho English Pacha camo to tho province ‘of Rowinks, a' chiof hostilo to Kabriki, and welcomo nssistance was thon obtainod. T'ho purauit hid beon alrondy abandoned ; but, with a view to- punish. Kabriki, it was arranged that Rowinka should supply 2,000 armed mon, and that these, with thirty icked Egyptian goldiers, should return towards osindi, and do thoir best'to tako and kill tho trencherous negro. Baker promised that, if this expedition was succossful, Rowinka should bo appointed Governor of hla own and Kabriki's district, in tho namo of the Vicoroy of Egypt. ‘With the romaindor of his forco tho Pacha thon roturned northwards towards Fatlko, but on roaching a place callod ‘Lazarita (?) ho and his men were unexpectedly fired ™ upon from tho Lonse of tho slave-traders thore. ~ Thirty of .Baker's soldiors woro thus slain ; tho remainder entronched themselves till assistauco could bo obtained, and then jssued from their entrench- ment to altnck the tradoers, who hold s strong position In douse thickets of rooda, Tho attack was very succossful, tho reed-bods were takon by storm, and140 of tho nln.vum‘psr‘t]y wero slain, many prigonors being also captured, whilo the romainder fled inland, The captivos, in oxplanation of the aitack mnde upon Sit Bamuel's command, said that the orders of thoir mastars, andof tho chiofs friendly to them, woro to kill *tho Nazareno ” (meaning Baker) whoro- evor and whonover they could. ~Thoy all oon- firmed this declaration, which was drawn up from thoir own mouths, signed .and scaled by each, and then forwarded to tho governmont of Sou-~ dan, at Khartoum, a8 & documentary proof of tha maflknmxcy of theso slave-hunting ‘morchants.
