The torrible drama of radical fanaticism bas here degenerated into a miserable farce, and the farce will aoon be ended. a The radical programme for the succession has collapsed. The eloven rebél States, includ- ing Tennessee, reconstructed om the basis of negro supremacy will doubtless all be hurried up and hurried into Congress in season for the Presidential olection, and they will all be radi- cal States. But they will not be sufficient to save the radical faction. On the programme of universal negro suffrage, and on Mr, Chase’s ultimatam of gold for thé bondholders and national bank rags for the people, the popular reaction developed in Ohio and New York will sweep, next November, tho Central States and the West aa a fire awoeps over the prairies. From the signs in the heavens and the earth Massachusetts and Vermont will, perhaps, be left aa the only remaining monuments of radi- calism in the mighty North. These two, with the eleven uogro States of the South, will probably constituie the opposition to the new administration and the new Union ‘party in power from and after the 4th of March, 1869. General Grant, upon his own broad and ample Union platform, will serve for the ac- complishment of ‘ise great ends; but we doubt whether even General Grant on the radical platform could ride the popular whirl- wind that is browing on the all-absorbing money question. The national debt, our bur- dens of taxation, our budgets of official cor- ruptions, prodigalities, frauds and spoils and piunder, are now foremost in the popular mind. The rebellion, with all its horrors, the war for the Union, with ali iis honors and its heroes, no longer hold the foreground in the public eye ; but this mountain of debt, taxes and corrup- tions stands forth in the boldest relief. In its presence this tarce of impeachment becomes a mockery, universal negro suffrage a delusion eud Southern aegro supremacy an outrage which will serve to swell the uprising of the indignant North for what Kossuth would call “the solidarity of the people and their inpre- acriptible cights.” Filibustering Feninns. By tiegram from Washington we are in- formed that President Johnson will, in his torthcoming message to Congress, refer in a prominent manner to an alleged ill-treatment of American citizens at the hands of the te ernment of Great Britain, by means of arrests, imprisonment, trials, convictions and punish- ment for offences commitied within the terri- tory of the kingdom. This intelligence reters, we presume, to the cases of certain frishmen who, having domiciled here for a few years, or obtained their naturalization papers, have seen fit to organize a conspiracy against the crown of the Queen of England and set out for Europe of their own volition, as Fenians, to further its object by force of arms. We do not believe that President Johnson will make allusion to any such matter, and clase the report as one of those politi- cal canvards which sre always set afloat | mountain was reported in labor, and a | great multitude of people—savans, politicians and pedlers, old women and darkies—were gathered together to witness the awful event. | The mountain was enveloped in fog, smoke, thuader ‘aud lightning, and its fearful groans and rumblings, it was thought, portended the birth of some horrible fiery dragon—perhaps ® beast with Seven heads and ten horns— | when, lo and behold! the grand achievement was only a poor litile ridiculous mouse.

Hard pushed, indeed, must have been Mr. {| Boutwell and his impeachment colleagues | when they adopted such testimony as that of the detective Baker concerniag the alleged ~ | aifectionate relations between the plump and _ | irresistible Mrs, Cobb and the susceptible Mr. Johnson. On the other hand, the evidence of General Graut is worth something. It shows that his cool and keen sagacity is equal to all | emerger that he is not the man to be caught napping, noc the man to be cornered, or flanked, or pumped, or surprised by cross- questioning politicians. They tried him thoroughly, and he was too uruch for them.

On this, both in Mexico assemblages which have ever been held since | and in the United States, all other questions the commencement of the Christian era. Since the year 325, when was held the first Council of Nice—a council at which was consummated the alliance between Church and State, and over which the Emperor Constantine presided— up to this year of our Lord 1367, we have had councils and congresses many. The business which has come before these assemblages bas not always been of equal importance ; but the must now hinge, Garibaldi. Very considerable difference of opinion pre- vails aa to the causes which led to Garibaldi’s apparently ignominious defeat. If Garibaldi was defeated by the Pontifical troops alone, then it is manifest that he had grievously mis- calculated the feelings of the people and the strength of the forces against which he effects, ecclesiastical and secular, which they had to contend. If Garibaldi was defeated by have left behind them entidle them to be spoken of as the great landmarks of the history of the last eighteen hundred years. The order in which those councils and congresses have fol- lowed each other is not undeserving of notice. the Reformation. The council hag had no place in history since the time of the celebrated Council of Trent, When it is remembered that the council was an eeélesiastical assembly, composed of ecolestastical delegates and coa- vened for avowedly ecclesiastical purposes, and that the congress is a secular assembly, composed of secular delegates and convened for avowedly secular purposes, it will be seen how different have been the relations of Church and Stéte during the last three hun- dred to what they were during the previous fifteen hundred years. During the first or council period the State was subordinate to the Church ; during the last or congress period the Church ehas been subordinate to the State. In the one period the Church was all- dominant and but little resisted. In the othor period the Church has never been in the- as- cendant, and has year by year been losing what little power she has. We do not mean that the world has ceased to have respect for religion, but that mankind -have ceased to be- lieve that their interests, civil and religious, are necessarily safe in the hands of clergymen end priests. so strikingly illustrates the change which has taken place in the relations between the secu- lar and the sacred in human affairs as the ap- proval given by Pope Pius [X. to this proposed The congress had.no place in history prior to | the French, or by the Pontificals, sided by the French, then it is equally manifest that the cause which Garibaldi represented haa sus- tained no real loss by his defeat, Garibaldi, though he may bave been proved bea bit of a fanatio, has not, by the events which have just transpired, been fool. We have been’ put in possession of g et representation it is not to be denied, forces more vigorous opposition than he ex- peoted ; but it is made clear to us, beyond all possibility of doubt, that Frenchmen were on the field as » reserve, that Frenchmen actually took part in the fight, and that the Chassepot rifle did the principal part of the mischief in the ranks of the Garibaldini. Poor Garibaldi! He has been defeated. In the circumstances. success was impossible. In the hour of his misfortune, however, be has the consolation of knowing that the cause in which he has done sq much, and for which he has been thanked 80 little, will ultimately triumph. In the future history of united Italy the name of Garibaldi will be proudly and honorably associated with the martyrs and heroes of the past. “Oh, the Dickens!’ Twenty-five years ago a young “English police reporter made his appearance in the Nothing which has occurred in modern times | United States.

The American government cannot tolerate foreign national factions, frishmen who leave their honest employments here to go filibuaier- ing in Ireland or England take their lives in their hends and must bear sequences.

England has suspended the habeas corpus in Lreland, treason is punishable with death, and the most learned judges of Britafn have decided that the Fenian filibusters from America have had a fair trial. What more do their friends, real or pre- tended, require? Indeed, having gone on a hazardous enterprise, it appears cowardly, and consequently u0-lrish, io seek to ery off on a legal quibble when the pain is being ex- perienced. / England sympathized largely with American rebels lately in arms against the Unton. The American people have pity for the wives and children of all Irishmen who step out from the shelter of the constitution to do ilegal acts, but do not seek to retaliate om England by encouraging rebellion and murder on her soil. Further than this we have go sympathy with the condemned Fenian fill- busters, no more than we have with Garibaldi— who sleo pleads his American “papers”—or had with Lopez when he was garroted in Caba. It in supposed that the impeachment bill of Mr. Kelsey will contain a clause which will remove Mr. Johnson from office during his trial. We cannot believe that Congress is so the con- | the | as by the rest of us. There ig in truth but one solution for this | Papal dilemma. ‘The temporal power must | go to the wall; the Pope musi abandon bis earthly vanities, and, forgetting his regal gew- gaws, settle down into a quiet and respectable bishop. Napoleon may attempt to patch up a compromise and satisfy the other Catholic Powers hy retaining for the Pope even yet a ' shadow of earthly sovereignty, but nothing can + permanently prevent the absolute overthrow ot the temporal power. The tide is ebbing. Nothing can prevent it. Even if the shadow should be preserved for a* little while longer the revolution must come; and ii will be found at no distant day that Garibaldi and Mazzini, and those who have acted with them, have been like Huss and Wickliff#, the Albe- genses and the Lollards, the precursors of i another Reformation. } Mexican Afiairs. The leiter dated November 10, which we published. yesterday from our special corre- spondeut in the city of Mexico, gives an account of a bull fight on the previous Sanday } for the benefit of the sufferers by the late tor- | nado at Matamoros, of the biessing pf minia- tare skulls of sugar in the cathedral, and of ihe display of burning wax candles in the crowded cemetery of San Fernando, on All Souls’ and All Saints’ days, together with a description of the splendid stone sarcophagus of Miramon, and the mutilated remains and the polished wood granadilla coffin of Maximilian. More- over, it confirms the news of » generous am- nosty proclaimed by President Juarez, and an- nounces that another amnesty may soon be expected, still more sweeping and probably including all who were identified with the late empire.

It is a natural tak of the American charac- tor to cut up those who slash ue; for this roa- son the American public have felt disposed to give Mr. Dickens as good as he sends. We, however, rise above such feeling, and prefer to hold Dickens up to the admiration of the peo- ple for his wonderful talent in giving us pic- tures of London aa it really existe. We must not forget, however, that he comes among us as an artiste, like Jenny Lind, Lols Montez, or any other noted European personage who makes his or her periodical appearance on this side the water to gain a.livelihood.

By o dexterous use of the power of which he had made himself master he hasbeen able to maintain his position. It is natural that doctrines successfully promul- gated should beget disciples, and that disciples, in course of time, should ripen into masters. Of all, the disciples Count Bismarck is the greatest ; so great, indeed, has he become that " it is no extravagance to say that the disciple is potent rival of the master. On the occa- sion of his recent visit to Paris in the company of King William, it is reported, on reliable suthority, thatat a dinner at which Rouher, Lavalette and Monstier were present, the Count was twitted about Luxemburg.

Ben Butler has his financial theories, and, as a high light in the radical party, draws quite a swarm of smaller bugs around him. He advo-..... cates the payment of United States bonds ta accordance with the reading of the bills creat- ~ ing them—gold, if the bills say gold; paper, tt they say paper. Not so Chase and the national. bank. branch of the radical party; they ory “Gold! gold !” ‘and:will have no other motto. It appears, therefore, that we have here abundant material for a split in the raaks and the forming - of two distinct parties—the radicals of the golden fleece under Chase sad spoony faction under Butler.
