Bills authorizing the work have passed tho Dritish Parlinment and the French Assewbly. Depositions of Brtouam Youxa and Geonae A. Surra were rejected yesterday in the Moun- tain Meadow mnssncre trial. The depunonts state that they issued no instructions relative to the massacre, and knew nothing of it until after |t occurred. Returns from the Kentucky election re- coived up to o Inte hour contain no specific indications of the figures. That the Dem- ocrats have carried the State is a foregono conclusion, but the decided increase of the Republican vote is an encouraging syrmptom, Oertain of the Eastern journals have exer- cised themeelves needlessly anent the extra expense involved in the fast mail traina be. tween New York and Chicago. Tho new ar- rangement will be attended by not o dollnr of extra cost to the Government, while it will be ® gain of from twelve to twenty.fours of time. Col. Baxes, of ny, the story of whose disgraceful conduct toward Miss Droxxsmon in the compartinent of & railway car was recently printed in T'ne Trisosx, wan yesterday found guilty of indecont assault, and sontenced to imprisonment for one yoar and to pay a fine of 2,600, with tho costs of the prosecution. 0 Britis] The Episcopal Board of Inquiry in Balti- more yesterday refused, by a vote of 4 to 4, to put Bishop WirrTinonas upon frial in the matter of his neglect to bring to trial the Revs. Hennivo and Dickey because of their Ritualistio practices. While deciding not to make the presentment ogainst the Bishop, the Board adopted a resolution severely con- ‘demning the alloged acts and tenchings of tho Rectors complained of. e — Charges of frauds sgninst Indian Agents are becoming infoctious. The Chicfaof the Navajo tribe have made known their griov- ances at the hands of their Agoent, W. F. M, Amex, whom thoy charge with nlong list of dishonest dealings, including threats, coer- cion, lying, false returns of supplics received and fssued, withholding annuity goods, ete. Anvx i o reproscntativo of the Presbyterian Board of Home Missions, under whoso dirce- tion the Agenta in New Mexico are appointed, and in whoss possession the Navajo charges have remained for saveral weeks past. Notios was yesterdny served by Judge Mon- 2w, counsel for Tmropone TivToN, upon Measrs. SmxummaN and Srrmimeo, attorneys for Bxxzr Wanp Bxrcnes, to tho effect that the caso of Turon ve. Brzcuen will bo brought up for trial in the Brooklyn City Court on the firat Monday of September. The notica reads that *‘the issue of fact in the above action will bo brought on for trial,” and it is hinted that tho question of damages will be waived, 10 that the trial can be made very bric?. The quostion of fact is all that the world cares for, and it is grently to b de- sired that thin issne moy ba setiled in the briefest possible tim T e— The Eaat i distressed by o multliude of tramps who roam from town to town aud diversify the somewhat tedious journey by constant theft and an occasional murder, An Eastern paper thercfore rclates bhow Count Ruarorp, the American clork who be- came an English knight and a German no- ble, oncs rid Munich of ita tramps, e hired & vacant building, and fitted it up with kitch. ens, dormitories, and workshops. On a cer. tain holidsy, when the streets woro full of sturdy beggars, the police solzed 2,600 of them and lodged them im Ruurono's buflding, They were washed, decently cloth. ed, fed, and mada to work in the shops, As #00n 88 thoy bad learned a trade, thoy were allowed to leave. If thoy began to bog, thoy were brought back. The idea worked to n charm, The beggara of Munich wero oxter- minated. The incorrigible ones left for other citles, where they could batten on charity ; the corrigible ones became industrious and self-supporting. Thelattor category embraced anearly all, The Chicago produce markets were general. 1y stronger yeaterday, chittly owing to reports ©f stora damage to the growing crops, Mess york was active and 400 per brl higher, closing At §20.67} cash and §21.07} for Soptember, Lard was quiet and 12§c por 100 my higher, closing at 13,82 cash, and $18.524 for Bep- teinber.

Doxuar was Inst night con- firmed by the Common Council as City Mar- shal, the vote being 30 to 5. The ordinance abolishing tho Board of Police and creating the City Marshal was so amended as to cone tinua tho oflice of Doputy Superintendent of Palice, who, togother with thoe Superintend- ent, may only bo removed hy conenrrence of the Mayor, whilo all other officers may bo removed by the City Marshal. Now that the Polica Dopnrtment is completely reor- ganized, the long-suffering peoplo of Clicago will anxiously awnit tho better order of things which Mr. Dostar's adniinistration is relied wpon to bring about. 'Lhe change cannot begin too soon, We print elsewhero tho full text of the re- port of tho Chicngo Commission of Archi- tects appointed lo examine the Custom. House structure, It corresponds closely with the outline given a day or two ago, and ju signed by every member of the Commission, After narrating in detail the results of their testa and obaervations, which appear to have been even more thorongh and exhaustive than those made by the Government Com- mission, the report present the following summary of conclusions : Pirst—That there 18 10 evidonco of weakness or fn- stabllity in the rrosent structare, Second—Taat tho foundations are snficlent, with the precautionn suggested (n this report, to carry the load contemplated by tho design, Third—That the Tuens Vists stone, earofally solect- «d, will bo as durable an any sandatone that can bo ab- tainoed, The Commlseion is of tho opinfon that work on the batlding could by resumed (with the pracautions sug- Reated) and carried on to completion. Such is tho delibernte conviction of six of the lending architects of Chicago, together with the City Engincer, all of them of tha highoat standing in their professions, nud men of unquestioned nbility and integrity. They stake their reputations, individually | and collectively, upon the declaration that, with certain specified precnutions and alter- ations, work on the building can be resumed and earried to completion. Testimony of this kind should not Lo disregarded by Sec- retary Brisrow and Supervising Architect Porren. Thero is, under sach circnmstances, more of credit and distinction for both, and oapocially tho Intter, to be gained in the_ro- sumption of work upon the Chiengo Custom- House than in the demolition of walls and foundations which are worthy to stand, the needless destruction of 1,000,000 in Iabor und material, and the delay of tho comple- tion of the building for at least thrce years. I8 IT GOLD OR GRFENBACKB THAT FLUC TUATE? » The Terre Ilaute (Ind.) Erpress stntes that it is very important to know whether it wns gold or groenbacks that varied in value to such an extrnordinary extont dQuring the temporary panio of last week, on the an- nouncoment of the failure of DoNoaN, Sncr. MAN & Co., because * the one that did fluctu- ate ia bad money.” Thoe respectable and no doubt honest newspaper in lerre Haute insists, however, that the groeuback is the standard of values; that it alone is rook.rooted, stable, and in- movablo; nnd that when wheat sells at &1 por bushel in coin, while it ranges from £1.12 to $1.20 in paper, it is the gold which is fluetunting sud not the paper! In other words, that whilo the paper money hns the solidity and weight, the purity aud finencss, sud the undevinting permanent value stamped upon it, it is the light, fimsy, in. substantial, feathery gold that has a valuo so transitory that it may be affocted by a chauge of the wind, the wrecking of asteamor, orthe collapee of a banking company ! Science has made wonderful progross in Terre Haute, The gold whioh has the samo value in overy part of the commorcial world, which, whether in coin or in ingot, can com- mand the ssme weight of gold in the coinage of any nation, ia the light and airy substance of o uncertain and unfixed valuo that a re- port that a broker in New York s ill will send its valuo booming! While the paper money, which has no intrinsic value, and has no legal voluo beyond certain geographical limits, {8 tho graud measure of the values of all commodities, including gold! That is to sny, tho Terre IHnute Erpress weighs gold with weights that are below the standard, weigha grain by counting less than 16 ounces to the pound, and measures cloth with n yard- atick several inches short, and may bo to- morrow shorter than to-day. Wo give two contemporary reporta of the temporary panic in tho New York Gald- Room, coused by tho failure of Duxoaw, Snzmax & Co,: 4 The falluro created groat excitement in tho Gold- Room, where the prico ndvanced rapldly from 112y to 1165, and eubaoquently declined to 1335, Bl later thoru was & rally 10 1143 und a reaction to 114, The Tupld rise to 1165 wea cansed partly by & ruvhto cover on the part of tho shoits, aud, after muny of the bears lind covered their contracts, the price naturally ro- sated, Tha gold market opened at 11337, aud when tho news wes rocelved old wos selling at 113, Withiu ffteen minutes quotations bounded to 1143, snd afterward roceded to 113, The effect was to culirely demaral- fze the narket, The highest transaction reported was 8y, Tho Terre Hauto paper insists that green- backs rempined stationary in value or pur- chasiug power, while It was gold that lost its dignity and wont bobbing np and down like a jumping-jack, which is ridiculous nonsense, "The quatations rendered into plain Euglich mean that before the nows of the failure 8112} of groenbacks were given for $100 of gold; that tho report of the disaster to the house created such excitement In tho Gold- Toomn that tho hiolders of greenbacks offered $116) of them for $100 of gold; sub- sequently, whea they bocame cooler, they would only give B114} of greenbacks for 100 gold dolars, and befors 1o day closed 8118} of greenbacks was (o amount given {for 3100 in golil. Tn the orning, when the Exchango opened, an importing merchant who noeded $100,000 of coin to pay duties to remlt to Cuba for coffee or to England for cloth could get it for §112,750 of groen. bocks, After tha news of the fallure, such waos the offect on the value of frredeomabla notea that at one thuo he would Lo obliged topay for the gold ¥116,625 in currenoy, whereby he would lose en the opening prices of Liz paper-money $3,875 of legal-tendor, The werchant who lost that suni in the fluc- tuations of a couplo of hours cannot be con. vinced by the argument of the Terrs Haute Erpres that the purchesing power of his greenbocks remalned Srm and steady during the paulo in the Gold-Room. 5 ‘The gold-broker who went into the Gold. Room at 11 & m, with §100,000in coin in his posscaslon, intending to purt with it for $112,750 of groenbacks, and left the room at dp. . with §114,025 of greenbacks, will re- quire pretty strong argnment 1o convinee him that it was his gold that got scared nnd deprecinted 93,875 while Lo was in thero fighting the **benrs,” Buppose that greenbacks wero convertible into gold on demand at the Trensury, how mnny of them would it have been necessary for a morchant to offer for $100,000 of gold at nny liour on the day that Duxcan, Snxr. MAN & Co. failed? Just $100,000 of green- backs, of course. 'The failure wonld not have hnd tho slightest effeet on their value, and there would have been no panie, uo ex- citement in the Eschiango. Why, then, is it not best to hava a papor currency that ia con- vertible into gold, and put an end to these niserablo and destructive fluctuations and pauics ? THE RECENT RAIN-STORMS, Tle recent storms prevailing in a largo sec. tion of tho West and tho Southwest, whatover their ultimato effect upon the erops of the country tany be, will have a very decided in- fluouce’ ou the speenlntive spirit in grain. This waa felt immedintely on the Board of Trade yosterday, though to n emaller extent than would bLave been the enso if tho storms had traversed a section further morth. ‘Tho whent grawn in the section where the storms prevailed §8 mostly winter wheat, which comes to Chicago and Milwaukee in small quantitics ns compared with tho spring wheat. Thin fact, while it disturbed the local market a lit- tlo less than would otherwise bave been the case, will have a rather more serious influenco in general than if the spring whent country lind been visited nnd winter wheat spared, sinco the winter wheat forms about G0 per cent of tho entire crop of the United States. These storms will help to ver- ify tho prediction of the Agricul- tural Department at Washington, that the surplus wheat cropof this country for export will be much smaller this year than it was lost; and there is also a prospect, notwith- standing tho recont reastion in Europe, that tho foreign demand for American breadstuffy will bo larger than it was last year, Tho storms hnve passed over largo parts of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, nnd Missouri, As far ns those sections are corn.growing, the dam. age has not probablybeen very great. Whore the corn was atill ripening, tho rain would do more good thon harm, except where the floods nctually swept it away. It must also be taken into account that those sections vis- ted by tho grasshoppers in the early part of ithe senson have been replanted with a sccond crop of corn, which can bLardly fail to be benefited by rains, and will come in probably with abundanco, if the frosts donot interfere. It is not likely, thorefore, that tho corn crop will be short, though it may rule nt n littlo better prices than for the past two or three years, Corn, it must be remem- Lered, is grown to n larger extent in tho sec- tions whero the rain hus been serious than any other grains, and corn is less damnged cither by tho raing or by drought than any other grain would be. Tho ont crop will probably suffer considerably ; but even whera the onts aro crushod down under the beating ralns and winds, it may bo mowed with a seythe, and cured like hay. Much of the crop may thushe saved. Infact, nsarule, the farmern always save more undor unfavorable circnmstances than is anticipated at tho timo of the misfortuncs. The hay crop is protty generally cut and in stock, and will not ha seriously damaged. Thero is little doubt that our crops, not- withstanding the rocent storms, will be smple enough to take advantage of any in- crensed foroign demand that there wny be, and give farmors good prices. A week or more of clear weather, with anortheast wind, will do much to counteract the damage dono by the storm, and dry tho standing crops and tha land sufilciently to enable a good harvest- ing. Tha prospect is, therefore, n favorablo ono on the whole, and the influence on tho general commerco nnd business of this conn- try will be docidedly good. The South can largely supply itsolf with grain, and the surplus of the Weat may be drawn upon by Europe. THE UTILIZATION OF AFRICA, Civilization, which was born in Asin, which turied long in Egypt, which crossed to Greoco aud Italy, and then pitched its tonts in Cen- tral Europe, long since outgrow the confines of that continent. It erossed the Atlantic, First domiciled in a fow log-buts at James- town and Plymouth, it has gradually spread over the wholo habitable region of America. It disputes the northorn wastes with ice and suow, and it flourishes rankly under the equator, 'The flood of human belngs is still, however, secking new outlots, Russin s pushing her rude civilization into Western Asin; England has control of n great triangle on the southern shores of the old ecradle of Lumanity ; and every civilized Power ia try- ing to help China and Japan into the path of progress, snd torn an honest penny meanwhile for itsclf. One continent re. maing,—Africa. A ring of civilized sottle- mentd surrounds it; exploring parties arg pushing into the wvast interior thot was marked on tho maps of ten years ago * un. Lnown region"; and Africads about to be utilized. ‘The habitable zron of the fourth great dl- vislon of the enrth’s surface is nearly 12,000,- 000 square miles, or about half as mach sgain as that of North America. 'The En. glish occupy Cape Colony on the south, Zanzi- bar on the east, and Sierra Leone on the west coast, Tho French lold Algeria. Thero is & quasi-American colony at Liberin, near Sjorra Leono. And Egypt holds the valley of tho Nile, the highway of futare progress. Discovery, inapir. ol by love of adventure, zeal for scientific knowlodge, or philanthropic batred of slavery, bas slready been pushed quito for. The catarncts of the Nile are no longer the gatos of tho nuknown land. The Khedive of Egypt Las organized a Geo- grophical Boclety, which will carry on still moro extensive explorations, I'he discoveries of tho past aro about to be utilized, ‘The Khedivo hopes to build, with the aid of En- glish capital, a railroad from tho oatarncts into tho rich interior basin of the Upper Nile, ‘This will ;uako the latter district a producer of vast cropa of cotton andcereals. Incourse of time o line of road will doubtless run northward from Cape Colony to & juuction with the Khedivs's rallway, and it {u within tho limits of possibility that Central Africa will Lo Ligected by another line, The desert of Sahara s a glgan tao obstacle, but Frouoch ongineering ukill which reproduced, in the Suez Canal, the old strait icado Ly Nature 'twixt Asia and Af- vics, moy reproduce in Hahara the lake (hat onca existed thera, The plan fu sald to be funsible, and the cutting required to foree the sea juto the bed it onco ocoupled 1s not vory great. The boneficlal effoct of this chango upon the climato and products of Northem Afriea would be incaloulable. It promises well for the futnre that all na. tions aro at work fu the civillzation of Africa. All nro not colonizing; that is the English. man's special work, His little island s too narrow to give him scopo for effort, But the thrifty, sagacious, eduented Teunton waits for the Briton to bear the brunt of estab- lishing the law and order that mnke trado possible, and then takes the trade into his own haude. Te is doing this in Hin dostan, in Ceylon, in Ching, in Africa. His presenco in the latler argues well for tho civ- itization for which Fronce, Lngland, and Egypt havo Iaid the foundations. Tho course of events we have skotched will extirpato slavery. 1L will givo tho natives n chanco for honorablo toil nid nseful life, Tf they will not take it, if they copy the policy of the Anwerican Indian, his fato will bo theirs. Tho idle continent mnust bo utilized. The unknown Iand must be known, ‘The civ- ilized world needs Africa, and will have it, A WAR-CLOUD IN EUROPE, The meagro dispatehes which have come ncross tho eable concerning the insurrection i !lerzcguviim give little indication of the fwportance which really atiaches to tho sue- cession of troubles that lhave been brenking ont within a fow years in the northern provinces of Enropean Turkey. Tho out- brenk which framedintely preceded the pres. ent uprising wag in Montenegro, nsmailer provinco adjoining Herzegovina, and both border on Dalmatin, which is a part of the Austrinn Empire, Tho fact {s that all the Turkish provinces in Europo north of the Dalkan rango of mountalns aro alien in race, Ianguage, traditions, and religion to tho gov- erning power, who are Turks. Thin includes the large States of Moldavia and Wallachia, which have alrendy achieved a sort of in. dependence. Bulgarin, Servin, Bosnin, Cro. matia, Herzegovina, and Montenegro are atill undor Turkish oppression, When the Turks forcod their way several centuries ngo into Europe, the native population gradually receded before thom into the northorn prov- inces. The further north the Turks went the smaller wers their numbers, and they com- posed a lesser proportion to the whols popu- Intion. In the provinees we have named, the proportion of Turks is not more than one- fifth of tho entire population. Four.fifths of the people are of Slavie origin, and belong to the snmo family as tho population of Hun- gary and Transylvanin, which are now parts of the Austrian Yanpire. ‘Thoy are of a raco thnt was amoug the first to adopt the Chris. tiou religion, and the present populntion is divided in dogma betwoen tho Greek and Roman Churelics, but with a large preponder- onuce in favor of tho former. Thera is, there. fore, uot the slightest sympathy betweon theso people sud their Asintic Mohammedan Tulers, The news that Scrvis has begun to raise subscriptions to aid the insnrrection, andis petitioning Austrin to maintain o strict nou- trality, would indicato that theso Turkish provinces havo dotermined upon something like a general insurrection aud n blow for in- dependence, if they can be nasurod of the moral support of Austrin. What Servin las done, Bosnin, Cromatin, Montenegro, and tha rest, are ready to do in the common causo, If Englond and Russia would keep their liands off, there is no question but what the inbabitants of these provinces, in a united effort, would dovelop suflicient strength to throw off the Turkish yoke. There would also be an opportunity hero for Austria to resume something like her former position mmoug the great powers of Europe. Thero is certainly n closs affinity between tho provinees ripo for a re. volt and the Hungarian portion of the Aus- trian Empire ; and, if they were joinod to the Empiro, thoy would give Austria n popalation of from 44,000,000 to 47,000,000 in all, and add o rich agricultaral district and a hardy people to the productivoresources of the Em. pire. In this way the littlo cloud that now appears in the obscure Province of Horzo- govinn, no bigger thon n man'shand, mny yet ovorshiadow all Europo, and got great nations by tho ears. Itis morally cortain that the Slavic population in Turkey north of the Balkan Mountains will not submit many yonrs langer to tho cxtortions and sbuses which Turkey imposes upon them for tho support of an extravagant rnd corrupt Court and Government with which they have no sympathy, and a religion which thoy desplso. THE PERIL OF BRITISH INDIA. A rocout English writer predicta the out. break of & socond insurrection in Hindostan, Ho snys that natives aud Englishmon are all nlike discontented, Of the latter, the soldiers are jealous of tho civilians, while the clvilians declare that they are overworked and under- poid. 'The inevitable rosult of such facts, petty in themselves, is that the rnlers wreak their discontont upon tho ruled. The Hindoos are systomatically kept down. They cannot Lold high military rank; thoy ecannot reach tho higher posts of the Civil Service ; thoy aro paid loas for doing the sanie work ag English- men fu all sorts of occupations, even that of & missionary. The personal relations of members of tho two races are apt to be un- plensant, Wo flud in the last Pall-Mall an fllustration of this, An Englishman and a Hindoo wero in the same raflway-car. ringe. They bogan to talk about the Gaik- war of Baroda. The native dared to differ with the Europesn. Tho latter promptly pitched him out of the window, A friendly swamp saved him from death, The Anglo- Indinn press calls this **a curiously interest- ing cnse.” Tt might better be called danger- ously interosting. Tt ia one of tha least evils that has resnlted from the flasco of tho Gaiks war, The irresolute, yet arbitrary, coupse of the Government In trying, uequitting, and then punishing this potentate, hns had the worst possiblo effect. An oflicer of high rank writes: ‘“The deposition of the Gaikwar hns undone in o moment the work of tha last fiftoon yoars, and will engender iy the minds of our feudstories preciscly the same suspl. clons which led to such results in 1857.” Familiarity seems lo havo bred contompt between tho races. Yo wordof tho Euglish. 1m0 was onoo held to bo a4 good as his bond, but this fecling no longer exista, Sir Dinkun Haio, the best friend of England during the mutiny, {s now 80 Loatile to it that he has ceused to use tho English language. 1o fu reported to have sald that the Engllsh onco wrote on a stono tablet with an iron pen, but now thay writeonly promissory notes; * thoy promise and do not fulfill.” He recently told 6 high official that * native feollog was never more unfriondly, never so dangerous,” This sweeplng statement does not lack corrobora- tion, One eminent Mahometan gaid : ** Iand my friends were truo to you in tho mutiny; we would not so cheerfully strike for you agaiu.’ Another frankly stated that Lo was loyal only becauso he thonght an insurrection would be crushed. The whole mass of chivfu are discontented becauso they aro so thoroughly excluded from the Govern- ment of Indis, and 5o completely neglooted by the Court of 8t James, Nor is the dis. affection confined to the chisfs The com. mon people foel it keenly. England trented tho Sikhs, who did so much to suppress tho mmtiny of 1857, with the samoe innolont iu- gratitude that she did the American volun. teers who eaptured. Louishoury for her, fought the Trench for hor, and saved whal, Brapnock's blunders left of his army for hor, Notone of the Hikhs was rowarded with a commissfon, nnd numbars of them are now living in utter destitution, The truth seema 1o bo that Colonial afairs are administered in lindostan much ns they once were In Amerien, with no regard for the enlony aml too much for the home-conntry. 'T'he rosult way possibly be the samo in Loth cases, though the moxt Indinn imsurrection will probably be as futile as it will surely be Lloody. —— THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS OF ARKANSAS. 'The Little Lock Guzetle snyn that Tue Trinung hos done injustice to Gov, GanLaNn and his supporters by stnting that they closed the public schools of Arkausna upon coming into power. This statemcnt, it de- clares, Das Lkept (housands of emigrants awey. If go, it bos done the best possible thing to open the cyes of the politicians of that State to tho utter folly of their course. 'L'ka (Fazetto trics—nnd tries in a thorough. 1y courteous wny—to show that the responsi- bility for tho closiug of the schools rests upon the Crarroy and other Republican Ad- ministrations, It argues that the lack of the neeessary money was duo (1) to a decision of the Bupremo Court which medo State serip, worth 23 cents on the dollnr, receiv. able nt par for school taxes, and (2) the fol- lowing law of the Ropublican Legislaturo of 1878 Tho Auditor of the § tata Is hereby denled suthority fo draw any warrant on tho Tresaurer, to be pald out of the goneral revenus of tha Btate, for tho support of the common school, snd any act or partof act sp- propriating out of the gonersl reviauo of the State for the support of common schools 18 Lereby ro- pealed, This left only n poll-tax of £1 to supply the school fand, “The most flourishing schools ” suspended six months before Gov, Ganzayp wont into office ; the rest susponded six months afterwards. ‘This ia the GanraND side of tho question, and may be quite convincing, but not bearing upon the real issue mow. That issuo fs, Sbhall tho schools of Ar- knnsns be closed or opened at onco? Thero is unfortunately no doubt that the re- rponsibility for keeping them shut rests upon the Ganrano Administration and the Domo- cratio party of that State. Are thers any Iaws in the way? Then repenl them. The Democracy controls the Leogislature, Are the schnol-taxes insufficient to support the schools? Then increasa them. Tero is n party which has nbeolute control of Arkan. ang, and which keeps the schools of Arkansas shut. Thore is no chanco of oxcuso.

The ground of the present dissonsion is tho attempt of the clergy to make the demonstration a roligious ono, Dawien O'CoNNerr was a zealous and devout churchman. He waa at first intended for the priestbood, and bogan to study for it, but subsequently changed his intentions and entored the profassion of the law. Ho was uone the less a most enthusinstic son of the Churoh, and as such he particularly endeared himeelt to the clergy, and his memory tu still cherished by thom, although it is ex- tremely doubtful whether he would Lo an Ultramontana wers ho now living. Another pecullarity of O'CoNNELL's policy commended Lim to the clergy. He was uncompromis- ingly opposed to any form of violence or bloodshed, and dopended for his success upon mornl suagion rather than the use of physical forco. Ho employed tho agencies of con. tinual sgitatlon Ly spoeches, resolutions, printed appeals, Parliamontary debatos, and the pressura of popular opinion, and by thase ugencled he gecurod grent results for Irclaud, whore the hot-heads had accomplished noth. ing excopt their own destruction. Among the most important of thess resulls wos the rellof of the people of Iroland from political proscription on account of religlous faith, from which thoy had long suffered at the Lauds of tho English Parliament and tho English churobmen, This more {han all ¢lso endeared him to the clergy, and, now that it {s proposed to celebrate Lis con- tennial, they biave at once seized upon it, un- der tho leadership of the Lord Mayor of Dub- lin and Cardinal Curixn, and have deter- mined to make it a religious demonsiration for two reasons: first, Lo exprous thoir grati. tude for what Le acgomplished for their re- liglons frecdom ; and, kecond, to inaugurate & movewment amid the enthusinsm of such an occasion which will tewnd to divide and ulti. mately destroy the Home-Rule party, In the pursuanos of tlis pelivy they have Umited tlelr invitations to Catholio laymen and the Ultramontane lendors of England, Franco, aud Germany, aud ontlined a purely religious programmie, the dotails of which are ko pro- seriptive as oven to includo the proposal of the health of the Topo beforo that of the Qucen. None have been included in the i« vitationn, it seems, who do not pne: the Clrch wbove the Sfate in il m.ders seou- Iz s well ns spiritual. This sweeping and intolerant proference has of courso nroused tho grenfost excite- ment, and hns angered the whole Protestant oloment of tha Homo-Rulers in Ireland, ns well as the Liberals in England and Scotland, It hns also displensed a large mnss of young men, composed of good churchmon in all spiritunl matters, but who ara oppored to Chureh interferenco in political matters, 'They may be included in the torm “Young Troland,” composed of well-educated young men, who Lelieve in the complote sepnration of Church and politics, and in making tho Church subordinate to the State in all politi- eal affairs, In this rogard, they stand about whera the Fenians have always stood with roferenco to the priesthood. This clement fa o poworful one. Yenr by yenr it manifests an increased hoatility to tho politieal plottings of the Jeauits, and it has carried this hostili- ty into political campaigns, and clected its candidates to Parlinment by large majorities against the prieats’ candidates, Having power in their hands, they oro de- termined to use it, and tho Ultramontanes will not bo alono in their celebration.

Which of the two will be the more successfaul remains to be seen, but it may Lo prodicated that this attempt to array religious projudice against the Home-Rulers, and to divide and dis- rupt that party, will bo offset by the acces- sions from all sides.to tho Young Ircland celebration. They will have the very general sympathy of oll thosoe who aro favorablo to national rights in Troland, more particn. larly s it is shrowdly suspected by thoso who aro in o position to know that Cardinal CurLzN is but the tool of the Tory Governmont, and that in thia religlous de- monstration he is carrying out a policy which will bo ngreeable toit. Whatever may bo the resnlts of the two celebrations, and how- over it may affect tho rights of Ircland in tho futaro, it ia pitinble that the centennial cele- bration of Daxmn 0'Connert, who nover quarreled with friends, should have givon rige, to a quarzel involving not only Iroland brat the whole United Kingdom, and that ‘“his dissonsion should hnve been precipitated, bya Cardinal of tho Church, sceking to r.erike o A deadly blow at Irish autonomy rnder th e cloak of religion.
