In the present confusion of tongues emong the builders of Babel at Washincton the real issue which is operating to turn the tide of pubiic opinion against the radicals and their revolutionary schemes is obscured. It is not the restoration of the Bourbons nor Mr. Jolnson’s policy which was the underlying canse of the republicin losses in the late California and Maine elections, but it is the departure of the republican party in Congress from i's plan of Southern reconstruction sub- mit'ed and overwhelmingly ratified by the Northern States in their last year’s elections. The plan thus ratified by the Northern States last year was the plan embodied in the great constitutional amendment passed by @& two- thirds vote of each honse of the Thirty-ninth Congress, and upon this platform the present, or Fortieth Congress, was elected. The distinguish- ing feature of this amendment was the section relating to suffrage and representation, and which provides to let each and every State de- cide for itself how far, if at all, the right of suffrage shall be given to its black population, and upon what conditions it shall be extended or restricted ; but which also provides that in proportion to the exclusion of any class or race from the suffrage, their enumeration for representation in Congress shall bescut off. In a word, this popular amendment simply provides to leave with tho several States the settlement of the suffrage question, with the condition that suffrage and representation shall gotogether. This proposition, fair and reason- able to all concerned, North and South, gave the republicans, more than anything else, their tremendous majorities in the Nofthern State elections last fall. The amendment, embody- ing this and other just and wholesome proposi- tions, has since been ratified by all the North- ern Stato Legislatures with an exception or two where no action has yét beon taken upon the subject. At all events, if three-fourths of the States actually repreaented in the general government are competent to give a legal rati- fication, this amendment is to-day. we believe, virtually # part of the federal constitution—the supreme law of the land. But the republican radical leaters in the present Congress, instead of adhering to and carrying out this sound and satisfactory recon- struction platform of the last Congress, havo cast it aside and proceeded to a series of revo- lutionary measures which, if pushed to the extent designed, will change our whole system of government and place it under the triple- headed monster of a negro oligarchy in the South, a moneye oligarchy in the North, and a general superintending military despotism. These monstrous innovations are all provided in the reconstruction acts, the Tenure of Office law, and al] the concurrent revolutionary measures of the presont Congress. They propose to give the poor, ignorant and credulous negroes, just released from the darkness of Southern slavery, the political control of all the Southern States, from Virginia to Texas inclusive. Next, under the floancial system of Mr. Chase, it is quite as manifestly the purpose of the radical leaders to fasien npon the North a moneyed oligarchy, compared with which Nick Biddle, with his old United States Bank, was a mere bagatelle. These revolutionary measures and schemes are aggravated in their disorganizing tenden- cies by that stupid revolutionary Tenuro of Office ley, nocording to whieh It ie digioult tg determine to- ment is abo! or congiaued, or, if s!:1 exist- It is agains: all these ul disorganizing doings of Con- st the abandonment by the ns of their pledges in reference to aid coustitutional amendment, that reartion in puble opinion bas set y look for more of it in th ia Oct bor election, and for a still 2 in our approaching New tection.

We lay before our readers to-day some of Mr ickens’ “American Notes,” originally prepar d “for European circulation,” but which for many reasons are well entitled to be current anywhere. Thess cxiricis will give a very fair notion of the volume from which they are taken—ol its sivength and its weakness; of its author's hatred of cant and his indulgence in it, and his views of cities and men, politics, the press, society, and so forth, Here the reader may sympati.ze with the traveller in his fancy fo he Lowell girls and “the east iron humor of the Yankees,” and in bis objection to cheap hoite! he may appreciate the good-natured picture of Broadway by daylight, and the si:onger color ’d one, manly and honest in tone, of the same street at auother hour; he may even enjoy a visit to the Five Poinis in such good company, and will doubtless be pleased to no’e that, having strayed into a law court in one of our ciies, the Britfsh satirist could find nothing more serious to criticise than the way in which a functionary pronounced the word “engine.” Nothing can be better than this travelling Englishman’s description of the travelling Englishmen he met in America, and whom he found—as we, too, have found them— displaying “an amount of insolent con-eit and cool assumption of superiority quite monstrous to behold; nor could any senti- ments be more proper than those of holy Lor- ror expresse | at slavery—a piece of English “superiority’--as John Bull was then rid of the institution and we were not. We pronounce the account of a sermon to the sailorsa piece of good reporting. We must remember that these pictures of our manners and morals date from the days wien the Carlton House was in “the best part’ of Broadway, and when in all the city, according to this veracious traveller, there was to be found, in (he way of popular amusement, only “one barrel organ and a dancing monkey.” It was a creat while ago, therefore, and it is not easy for the present to sympathize with the prejudices and passions of that past period. But theve is a tradition with those who played dominoes at Palmo’s café and walked on the Battery Sunday evenings, that these notes stirred a howl of protest and resenim nt here on their first appearanc>. It is difficult now to see the exact reason for all that. They are just, and are never so severe on us as we always are on ourselves. Sometimes they are a little ill-natured ; but are we to require an amiable spiritand an even temper of every travelling Englishman who wriles about us? That would be to insure unendurable dutness in all he said. We believe that the public wil! enjoy very much a review of this work, with its cxiti- cisms of our society and its observations, true and false, of our character. It is certain, how- ever, thit the traveller, in coming again, will find usa very different people. New York has grown, physicalty, morally, mentally; and if the sativist would find again the sort of life he once saw not far from Broadway, be must seck it in Chicago, St. Louis or Omiha. Ye it is quile probable that he will find that inevitable character, the toady, still in his perennial youth, even here. He will find bigger toadies, richer toadies, more puffed up, exuberant and noisier ‘oadies here than he ever saw; for it is stillan American characierisiic that we do things seriously and with set purpose to “beat all creation,” when we do them at all. It is also one of our weaknesses to “honor litera- ture”—rather cheaply, perhaps ; and it may be another of our weaknesses that many fancy that this literature which we propose to honor is incarnate in Mr. Dickens. We are gial that Mr. Dickens is to visit us again, particularly as he comes to entertain us with one of tuose courses of “ readings” which he formerly -fonnd fault with us for liking. Ristorl is here again, with her magnifi- cent company, and will have a brilliant season at the French theatre. Pike’s Opera House will soon open, all our theaires are brushing up and moking great promises of unusual attraction, and the season promises to be one of the gayest we have had, Mr. Dickens’ enter- tainment will be a really excellent addition. His entertainment here will perhaps be sub- stantially what it was in London—a s.mple reading of some scene or chapter from some one of his well known stories, illustrated only by the remarkably modulation of the reader's voice, and his miraculously significant distor- tion of feature. To hear this reading and see the grimace that secompanies it, is to meke the personal acquaintance of characters of whom we scem before only to have heard. It is im- possible that any “counterfeit presentment” could more move all the tenderer sympathies ot the heart than Mr. Dickens’ account of the notable events in the public career of that great man, Doctor Marigold. Dickens’ read- ings will be intellectual entertainment of the first class. He may safely put bis tickets at five dollars apiece aud easily harvest halia million.

Important ruth, however, is none the worse for being ro *1. In this instance, ‘here‘ore, although news is not new, we do not greatly com- vi the Associated Press. micht have added to the value of the ine formation had we heen told for what purpose he council was to be convened. In former times ec lesiastical councils played an impor‘ant part in the history of the Ciurch and the world, Councils are distinguished as _ provincial, no tional and gen-ral. Provincial councils are convened and presided over by the metio- politan bishop. Their object is disciplinary uiefly. They are not denied the liberty of dis- cussing questions of faith, but their decisions hereon are not authoritative. National conneils have hitherto been convened by princes only, and are prezidi over by the pri- mite or a legate of the Holy See. They differ from the provincial councils chiefly n this, that their supervision is larger. In ima.ters of faith their decisions are equaliy un- authoritative. The general councils are also called ecumenical, The ranze of their super- vision is coextensive wih the bounds of the Clureh, or, to speak more correctly, with the bounds of earth, and they are composed of all tie bishops of Christendom. The right to con- vene such councils is suppos°i to be vested in the Pope. It is admitted, however, even by Roman Catholic writers, that the first eight general councils were conveked by the Chris- tian emperors. As the empire in these times was coexiensive with the Church, such councils may be included in the category of national, tuusleaving the superior right of the Pope un- questioned. Hitherto it bas always been the business of these councils to occupy themselves with questions of schism and heresy, belief and dscipline, which may be affecting the universal Church. The first general council was held by the Apostles in Jerusalem, about the year 50, The last was held at Trent, in the year 1545, and lasted till 1563, a period of eighteen years, The whole number of general councils, accor ling to the Roman Catholic Church, is nineteen, the first being that at Jerusalem and tbe last that ot Trent. The Greek Church recognizes as authorilative the decisions of oaly the first seven general councils. The Protestant Churches admit the fall authority of none of them but the Apostolic council at Jerusalem, and regard as Ecumenical only the six which directly followed. La‘ge and important conferences have some- times been held under the presidency of the Pope, and have given decisions on matters affecting the faith of the universal Church Their decisions, however, are in no sense au- thoritative. Of sucha character was the con- ference of one hundred and ninety-two prelates which sat in Rome in 1854, and proclaimed the dogma of the Immaculate Conception. It will be well for the forthcoming council to recon- sider this question. It will fo! be well for the Roman Catholic Church, if, not only failing toremove this last and greatest absurdity, they add to the absurdities which exist, and which are numerous enough in all conscience, by pro- claiming the personal infallibiliiy of the Pope. Much as we respect and esteem his Holiness, we have no desire to see bim burdened with such ridiculous honors. > precious informat t ah Progress of Stoam and Telegraphic Com- 7 ication. Every few days we publish an account of some fresh enterprise in opening new lines of steamship and telegraphic communication to and from the United States. The world moves fast nowadays, and all the grand movements of the age tend to one point and radiate from one centre, and that is this great metropo- lis. This republic is the centre of the globe, in a geographical and commercial view, and it will not be long before it will be the focus and radiating point of intellectual movements, and al! must centralize in Now York. Let us glance at what is going on. Within a few years numerous lines of splendid steamships have been established betwen this port and Europe. The Atlantc has become a gteat ocean ferry, across which crowds of people pass daily with as little difficnliy or apprehension as in sailing up tae Hudson to Albany a few years ago. There are lines to England, Franco, and Germany, and in con- nection with these to all parts of Earope. The time across the Atlantic is now only nine or ten days. Soon there will be direct lines to Italy, Spain, the Baltic, and other parts of the European Continent. A few months since a line was established across the Pacific to Japan and China from San Francisco. A splendid line is in successful operation from Australia tothe Amer- ican Continent at Panama, with which those on the Pacific to California and the South Amori- can republics connect, as well as those to the West Indies and this country by the Carribean Sea and Gulf of Mexico, Other lines are pro- jected, among which may be mentioned one from France to Panama, connecting the Con- tinents, and making this Continent the centro of all, We are goon to have a line direct from New York to Venezuela, by the way of the West Indies, in addition to those to Brazil and the other countries of South America on the Atlantic side, Such is the wonderful progress that has been made and is going on in central- izing commerce here by means Tr eratiees «arson But the progress of telegraphic HU) more qurprising, ‘The Atlgatie cable hee made the Enropean nations our near neighbors, Aday or two ago one was laid connecling Cuba with the United States. In a fow years all pertts of the West Indies and South and Central America will be in tele- graphic communic:tion with us.
