To all outward appearance the present advisers of King Victor Emmanuel consider anything that imay happen st the Vatican as absolutely be- neath their notice. Tt is not impossible that there may be some affectation in this apparent aps the setual vacancy of the Papal See may show that the Italian statesmen did not teo” biindly abaudou themselves to a false sceurity, and did not dismiss the Papal bsolutely irrelevant to them. But is no doubt that Italians look upon that ion from a point of view altogether differ- ¢t from otiser peovle, for with them the whole knot lay in that matter of the temporal power Which the sword cui_ sofic_Seven years ago. Were Italy an island in mid-ocean, or were she strong enough to hold her own against all com- ers, there would, indeed, be no reason to_look uen any new Pope 3s a more formidable adversary than the fecble old man who is now totte at death’s doors. The nazional feeting in Jtuly is too strome and tne mivus sentiment too weak to give the clergy r:dency for which they have always been ted to foreign iniluence, from Counstantine pe down to Francis Joseoh of Third Napoleon. But the Ital- are ot alone in the world, aud for the troke. or, s it is called, the “sacrilege” of the 20th of Senteber, 1870, they have only compounded with the European Governmentss ived the full absolution of the European natious. The Italians cannot afford o imuore Ultramontanisu, a power apparently il in its infancy, vet which has given the Pape bevond the’ Alps ten times as much strength as hic has lost south of those moun- tains, The llalians cannot overlook the fact that Ultramontanism has made enormous sirides in Holland. in England, in America, wherever it was allowed full freedom of developuwent : that it has Belgium at its discre- tion, and is at the bottom of all the mischief with which Marstal MacMahon's_coup d’elat threatens the French Republic. Were we at a for straws to show us which way_the wind ows, we nced only look at the fact thatin ilaud, the cradle’of Protestantism, the coun- rv which has most, nobly fought and endured Jor the cause of frecdom of conscience, the sernment has deemed it expedient to alter the historical class books in the clementary 1 the recital of what the country hatl nd of Papist_Spain, and the vism it disptayed in the vindication of what deemed truth, should give offense to the Cathiolics, who are by this time too numerous end powerful to allow light to be thrown on the For the sake of peace, and to sow their complete tolerance, the Dutch have con- d to falsity facts and attempt to suppress Bistory! In such circumstances it behooves the Gov- ernment of Kingr Victor Emmanuel to consider whether tiie Conclave which wust follow on the death of Pius IX.. happen when it may, is to be an exclusively Jtalian or a general European transaction. and it would be for them aswwell as or the rest of the world no jdle task to glance at all the possibilities by which the Papal elec- tion mav be attended.

So far as she Vatican is concerned, the Papacy Is some- icg Itahan and Roman, and, whether for war ¥ pea e, the choice of such a conclave as would satlier round the Pope's death-bed would al- says fall upou one in whose hands the morop- Ny of the See by Italians coula be kept up to De end of time.

SERVETUS AND CALYV. RELIGIOUS BIGOTRY IN THEIR TIME. Pull Mall Budger. **Scrvetns ané Camin A Study of an Important Epoch _in the Early History of the Kesormation. ** By R.Ig"x)hs. M. D. (London: lenry 5. King & . ) The persecution and death of Servetus at the hands of a Protestant community wmay well be taken to mark a turning-point in the history of the Reformation. It is well known that re- ligious toleration was no part of the official doctrine of the earlv Reformers. The wicked- ness of heresy, and the authority of the Church to punish it. conld be no less after the Church was reformed than before. A-few enlightened persons, such as Erasmus, who were in tact too enlightened to do the rough work of astical revolution. had attained ng like modern ideas of tolera- tion. as a rule, ideas of ts kind spread_very slowly, and cven the limited ¥ind of toleration which satisfied ortuodox Prot- estantism was rather thrust by cirenmstances upon Reformed Princes and clergy than adoptea of free will. How narrow the limits were mav be read in the state of English law in the last century,—a state of things of which some ex- traordinary vestiges still Femain nominally alive. Nonconformists not denying the Trinity were {together with Jews, who were ou 2 footing of undefined practieal toleration) subject onty to varions cvil disabilities. - Papistswere subject to additional and much' more stringent disabilities. ns denying the Trinity or the Clristian re- lirion generally were subject to imprisonment and heavy disabilities, amounting for u repeated offense to total loss of civil rights. The civil laws of other Protestant countrics practically reguired—some, we believe, at this day re- quire—every citizen to belony, in name at Jeast, 1o one of a certain number of recog- nized communijons. Servetus would have been in 1o danger of capital punishment in_England at any time atter the Restoration: but he would | have been theoretically liable, till near the end of George II1.7s reien, to very serious penaities. He was something very diffcrent from a mere nonconformist, and even the mildest of the Re- formers had been moved to very stroug lan- suage by his doctrines. So much is to be re- ‘membered, both in fairness w his persecutors and to explain the importance of his life and death in the weneral history of religious tolera- tion. It so fcll out that the proccedings takien aerainst Servetus by the rulers of Geneva, Cal- Vin being, as Dr. Willis abundantly shows, the mover and leader throughout, exhibited cind of prosceutfon in a specially odious and the execution of a man whom ortho- Tigh! dox Protestants were by their prineibles bound to condemn, and did condemn, as a hereticof the very worst kind gave risc to a scandal which brought out in clear and avowed expression the rising conviction of Protestanis that Churches who had renounced the claim of in- failibility could not take upon themselves the of burning men alive for matters of opinion. That heretics should not be punished at all seemed at that time too wild a proposition to be seriously maintzined. More than a century Jater the “ Tractatus Theolozico-Politicus ” of Spinoza was furiously asailed by theologians of every complexion for aflirming—with every pos- sible reservation in favor of legal and moral order—tnat religious opinion, s such, is not 1 proper subject for the censure of human tri- bunale. The first step to be made. and a great one, Wwas to establish that heretics were to be suffered to live. In so far as the sacrifice of Servetus contributed to that end, Calvin’s wishes that he might be of good example were fulfilled, though in a sense very different from what he desired. The opinions for which Servetus euffered were not in themselves of akind to call forth modern sympathies. He was something more than an Ariau, held a very i ar theory of the Incarnation, und opposed infant baptism; this last point. as Dr.W was likely 10 be a soecially damagings one, ascreating sowe sort of association—however. unfounded in fact —with the extravagances of the Anabapti It is difficult to realize the state of Europeau culture when learned and virtuous men could persuade themsclves that it was of vital im- portance whether the term Person. in the theo- Jorrical sense, was 10 be understood 25 meaning Typostasis or u disposition; but so it is, that the substitution of dispontion or disensation for hypostasis was one of Servetus’ cavital errors. In addition to these weichtier matters, Servetus somewhere bas, Dr. Willis tells us (or did he find it in some older canonist?), the curious con- ceit that the covenant between God and Abra- ham was the first known instance of the **inno- mipate contract? facio ut facias: a conccit sur- passed, however, by our countryman Asill, who proved that the covenant in question i fied all the forms of English convesanciug. Even in medicine Servetus was not wholly sci- entific; his_practice was so larzely tempered with astrolozv as to bring him into serious trouble in Paris. I is a singular ittstance of the irony of fate that the one passage by which he bas earned a genuine thouzh tardy scientific fame, and in which Harvey's great discovery is, in_part, auticipated, long lay buried in the & Christianismi _Restitutio,”’—the theological work which was theground of the condemnation pronounced at Geneva, and which narrow] escaped utter. destruction before any copics had found their way abroad. Only two copies arc known to _exist: one of them is that which was necessarily preserved by the Genevese au- thoritics themsclves for the purposes of the prosecution. Besides his ouc brilliant observa- Tiou or coujecture in _physiology, there is other evidence of Servetus having been really in ad- ~vance of thecontemporary standard in thorough- ness and freedotw of rescarch. His speculative heresics were accompanied by an_approach to rational method in interpreting the Scriptures which was then 3 novelty in Christendom, though it had been made familiar in_Jewry for three or four centurics by the work of Mamon- ides and otners. His carcer was in some re- spects much like Giordano Bruno’s; there is the same confident versatility, the same arrogance in controversy, the same induference or infatu tion in the face ot pressing danger, lcu\nu&'_ him finally to run upon s own destruction. There can be little doubt that he was 2 man capable, under happier circumstances, of adding mucl to tne solid sum of human knowludge. The Joss which mankind has sutfered by splendid intellects being violently cut short in the for- ard path, or, still worse, erverted from it into Belds of barren and deadly strife, will never be computed. But the world is beginning to be sensible of it, and those whose Dbredecessors were directly answerable for such fatal resull now for the most part find it convenicat to di claim as much as possible the means by whose anscrupulous and unlimited exercise the power they still wie'd has been handed down to them, mdywhmh some of them at Jeast would not scruple touse agaln if they could. TOMBSTONES. QUAIST INSCRIPTIONS IN TRINITY CHURCHYARD, NEW YORK. Snectal Correspondence of The Tribune. New YORE. Oct. L—A thousand graves or more. many of them of most curious and tramc Interest, lie g0 near to the burrying tread of busy walkers on Broadway that, but for the slender fron fence which keeps them from such desecration, the carcless pedestrian could touch them with one foot without taking the other from the sidewalk, so close are many of them to the crowded street. TRINITY CEURCH overlooks probably the busiest scene on earth. Situated on Broadway immediately at tbe head of Wall ftreet, it gazes solemnly down upon the eager throngs of Broadway, Wallyand Broad street money-makers, overtowering the umer- ous commercigl exchanges and marts of trade, where fortuncs are daily made and lost in the reckless stock-gambling operations for wkich those streets are noted. Atall hours of the day there is within the hearing o its solemn chimes a mob of seekers after wealth. the most excited, the most reckless, and the most eager that the world can show,—men who d: comfort, home, the prospects of wife and chil- dren, the respect of all good men, honestv. the honor of themselses and others, in the insane pursuit of that gold which, when won, so sel- dom brings with it either happiness or peace. 01d Trnity Jooks ever forth upon this busy. ever-cnanging scene, while at ner granite feet, duty from nising side, thing the present day rejoie purtances the cept as wings.

THE EPISCOPAL CHURCH. SHALL THE NAME BE CHANGED! To the Editor of The Tribuns. Curcago, Oct. 4.—ln your paper of two weeks ago appeared an article under the above caption signed “ Anglican ” that seemed so utterly op- posed to the viws of the vast ‘majority in our Church that I should not bave cousidered it worthy of reply had not a motion been made in the Episcopal Convention looking to some change in the name of our Church. The chicf point made by the writer of the re- markable communication to which { allude was, that our Episcopal Church objected to nothing or protested against nothing in the so-salled @ Catholic " Church, excepting the supremac of the Bishop of Rome, and muplicd, if be did not distinetly assert, that in everything else our belief was identical with that of the Roman Chureh, and opposed to the views of the “Evangelical " ciiurches,—* Metnodists, Bap- tists, Presbyterians, and others.” . Isthatso¢ Then we Episcopalians do not ob- ject to transubstantiation, suricular confession, mariolatry, and all those other practices tha Protestants call the * corruptions, here: and idolatries of the Roman Church.”” Providiug our Bishoo lives elsewhere than in Rume, we are to approve of all these things, and, to signify our approval ol them we are even to change the time-honored snd glorious name of our own grand Church, and to declare that we do not and neyer did protest amainst these manifold errors. Now, permil me to say that the great mass of our Church do object to all these things, and with the fathers of our Church wost earnestly protest against them. More than that, we join in the protest with the other Protestant scets, and will not abjure either our belief or our name. We do not propose to carry out our views by breaking ofl from our beloved Church, as someof our brethren have, i our opinion mistakenly, doue; but_believing as we do that our Churehis (reeenough, and liberal enough, and broad enoughb to hold those ofeven very different views. and that we can worship aod commune at the same altar even with those who have forgotten much that belongs to the faith of our Protestant Episcopal Church, we shall not drive them out from us. At the same time we shall not abjure our own faith; we shall not chanee the name that has for huu- dreds of years expreesed that faith; and if those gentlemen Jlean so strongly to the Roman Church, and object so seriously 1o the Protest- antism that is our boast, they may-either go out and set up their own churceb, or take the advice of Pius IX. to those English Anglicans who de- sired to sit in s Ecumenical Council by drop- ping their ome protest asainst the Bishop of Rome and returning to the bosom of that Church against which they can find no other ob- jection. For one I am and propose to remain a PROTESTANT EPISCOPALIAN. CHURCH VALUATION.
