If he is willing, now that be has vindicated his honor, to let the temporalities go and to permit the Italian people to take possession of the national capi- tal, he is equally master of the position. To quote the language of the London Times: “The only solution is either the abolition of the Pope’s temporal power or the disruption of Italy. The alternative lies with the Emperor lone.” To patch up ® compromiso is the best that @ congress could do; but it will be strange if the great ' Powers of Europe take part in effecting an arrangement the only and the natural fruit of Moe be future difficulties between the I and Papal governments and farther usi- necessary bloodshed. Italy must have Rome unless Italy is again disorganized. Will Napo- leon undo the work which he has done? or will he crown the edifice and indissolubly con- néot his dame EK regenerated Italy? That is the alternative in another form, ang it requires not the gid of any congress to enable Napoleon to determine which is the nobler part to choose. The one implies the undying reproach of history. The other will secure for him an honored place among the benefactors of man- kind. If the Emperor could only ‘believe it, he can well afford in this instance to be mag- nanimous, Pity that he should hesitate or that he should share the glory of the act with any congress, Let him proclaim Italy throughout all her borders to be one and indivisible, and a grateful people will forever bless his name, while intelligent and unprejudiced men every- where and in all time will applaud his conduct a8 generous and just. Wo are not unaware of the difficulties with which Napoleon has to contend. The Church party is powerful in France, and as the Empe- ror is now particularly anxious to conciliate all parties, and so smooth the way to his son’s succession, the Church party must not be despised, It is quite possible, too, that he has resolved to hasten his long delayed coronation, go that ere he die he may be the Emperor anointed as well as the Emperor elect. The abolition of the temporal Papacy might be injurious to his plans; but it might not. The anointing oil would be just as efficacious if poured on his head by the Archbishop of Paris as by Pope Pius the Ninth; and what- ever the Pope might do it would not,be in the power of the Archbishop to refuse. The aliena- tion of the entire liberal, party might be as serious a loss to Napoleon and to his house as the alienation of the ultramontanists; and the utter alienation of the liberal party is certain it Napoleon doggedly opposes Italian unity. The situation, we admit, is difficult. But it is just such a situation as furnishes the opporiu- nity toa strong and resolute will. Nor let it be imagined that we are indifferent to the welfare of the Papacy. In his present harass- ing position the Holy Father is entitled to the sympathy of the world. We have never allowed ourselves to confound the temporal with the spiritual power; and if we have ad- vocated the abolition of the former it is be- cause we feel convinced that it would conduce to the welfare of Italy, to the individual com- fort of the Holy Father and to the increased spirituality and consequent usefulness of the Catholic Church. Fashions at Home and Abroad. The latest Paris fashions! Paris hats from the Rue Vivienne! Paris robes from the Rue de Richelieu! Paris cloaks from the Ruo de la Paix! All the latest Paris styles of veils, fresh from the Rue Choiseul! As these form the worthy, we had been led to believe that ad- hesion to the proposals of Napoleon was all but universal and that a congress might be considered certain. Cable despatches of a more recent date, confirmed in this instance happily by the arrival of our mail news, prove that no such agreement exists, and that a con- gress, after all, is, up to the present moment, extremely problematical. With the single ex- ception of Austria, which by some means or other has become the catspaw of Franco, we have yet to learn that any one of the great Powers has returned to Napoleon other answer than a request for further explanation. From our mail despatches we are made aware of the actual sentiments of the English government and enabled to form an.opinion as to the course they will probably follow. In the House of Commons Lord Stanley, the Secretfry of State for Foreign Affairs, in tho course of an explanation which was asked by ,| the House, stated that “to the invitation to a conference addressed to us by the French government he had answered that the govern- ment saw little chance of any satisfactory result following the conference unless some definite plan of settlement were proposed beforehand, aad unless it could be ascertained from previous negotiations that the plan would have a reasonable chance of acceptance. Sorry though he might be to loso a chance of remov- ing this cause of disagreement, to go into a conference without some such previous agrec- ment would have been # waste of time.” Lord Stanley in these words expresses himself with his usual discernment and caution. They are words almost identical with those used by the Heratp when the idea of a conference was first mooted. We have never been able to see bow a European congress, even if got to- gether, could be of any essential service in the settlement of this question; and it was mat- ter of surprise to us to learn by telegram that Napoleon’s invitation had been accepted by the various Powers before it was distinctly understood what it was the object of the congress to acoomplish. That the English government is not singular in its opinions acted. Mr. Bailey, the successor of Mr. Conkling, from | regarding the congress is made manifest by the Oneida, Now York, district, appeared in the House | some of our most recent telegrams, which for and took the oath. ~ | the reasons given above we are disposed, in Our special telegrams from Havasa contain matters we this instance, to accept as correct.

The temperature of the air will ‘be graduated to the natural climate whence they come, whether from the frigid or the torrid zones, and native koopers, acquainted with their disposition and wants, the government, considers that it will be impos- sible for any congress to maintain the present boundaries of Rome. Looking at all the facts of the case we cannot say that a con- gress will not be held ; but we do say that it is extremely difficult to see what a congress could do which Napoleon cannot equally well himself, If Napoleon wishes to es ~ | maintain the power of the Papacy, (wna introduced directing Legislature establish o ly too sist, com crusarch od ehacat incodhowh te Wate, 0 te sio- pliant enough to acquleso and Europe is Rees by wopuian oS menace, (t_ Ue onal, mitted to the conference; while a Russian | journal, supposed to be in the confidence of | substance of the “dream by night, the waking thought by day,” of every fair American de- votee of fashion, the HERa.p, as in duty bound, lays week atter week before its lady readers, in its interesting special correspondence from the French capital, every shade, variety, change and novelty in the attire of their Parisian sisters; so that by following strictly the instructions of our Paris letter the belle of Broadway may shine in equal glory with the belle of the Boulevards. In this, asin all other news, social, political, criminal, reli- gious, commercial, legal, mercantile and general, the Herat is recognized as authority, and its dictum as to flowers, frills, furbelows, feathers, flounces and fripperies is accepted without question by the fashionable world. Our fashions letter serves a double purpose, It keeps our readers advised of all the fun and frolic going on in the higher circles of society in Paris, and it holds a check upon our specu- lative home modistes, many of whom endeavor to palm off upon their innocept and ambitious customers all manner of frightful caricatures upon French styles and all sorts of wornout, obsolete fashions at least two months old. At tho same time, we never fail to enter ou; protest against the mania that leads our home beauties to ape the fashions of the French or any other foreign nation and that deters them from adopting styles of their own and setting an example of taste, gracefulness and judg- ment in dress to the women of the world. The American beauty is of a type peculiar to the country, and its object should rather be to adopt a costume becoming to itelf than to conform to the notions of others. A French woman studies her complexion, her size, her expression, and every conceivable point in deciding what she will put on; while our own Flora McFlimseys, with enormous wardrobes of “nothing to wear,” may not have in their entire collections, made in accordance with arbitrary rule and pattern, a single dress calculated to enhance their native charms. It is time, too, that the women of America should aspire to make themselves known abroad for the lovely creatures they are. At present the only real type of an American woman gener- ally known to our Buropean sisters is the re- presentation set before them by Mre. Barney Williams and Mrs. Florence, in the square waist, short ekirts and capacions sunshade of the “Yankee gal.” It is for our own fair coun- trywomen to say whether they are contented to be recognized at the gay capitals of Europe only by such a model or whether they will show the court beauties of Paris and London that the women of the States Bave grace and elegance and tasto of their own, and compel the proud foreigners to bend down before a repubilc of fashion, as the republic has so long worshipped at the foot of the European throne. Let the American ladies once cut loose from Paris and Loudon, instruct their modistes to study American beauty in their styles, colors, trimmings, shapes and combiaa- tions, and they will soon find the advantage of the change and bave of their own Without relying. the dictum of Prench, English, East New York—A Now Ficld fer Milssion- vvesuieer> ary Labor. adnecBagt iz East New York has lately come inte unen- viable notoriety through the lawlessness and blackguardism of the crowd of roughs and row- dies that seem to make that suburban locality their headquarters. At one time a number of quiet, sociable Germans, enjoying their music and lager at @ picnic, are set upon by these ruffians and maltreated, and again we hear of s hotel being sacked by them. Similar out- rages are of weekly occurrence there ; and that neighborhood, one of the most pleasant spots in the City of Churches, has now become the theauge of guerilla warfare and the head- et oe Ae. No measures have been taken by the authorities to check this nuisance. Eight policemen on Sundays and four on other days are supposed to be a sufficient force to preserve order, although the population of the village is nearly eight thousand ; and as for the guerillas, their name is legion, Here is a field of operations for the knights of the locus$ to exercise their military abilities upon, and vary their Sunday duties from watching de- Unquent liquor dealers to protecting peaceful citizens against the assaults of rowdies. Why does not Major General Kennedy “move im- mediately on their works” and abolish thé reign ofterror they have inaugurated in this harmless village? Of course, peeping through keyhoies and arraigning liquor dealers is less irksome work than encountering a crowd of roughs, but the police should never shirk their duties as guardians of the peace. But a wide field is also open here for mis- sionary labors. We have societies for the con- version and amelioration of the Fejee Island- ers, the Ashantees, the Esquimaux, the bush- men of Australia and other communities not particularly blessed with civilization. White cravatted clergymen of Pickwickian proclivi- ties and epectacied ladies of uncertain age go around, subscription book in hand, and elo- quently dilate on the benighted condition of the poor heathen, Shiploads of Bibles and tracts are annually sent out to the delighted aborigines of the Pacific, and missionaries strive to convince the Celestials of the “Flowery Kingdom” that there are stranger things in religion than ever Confucius dreamed of in his philosophy. And all this zeal is not unattended with danger, to judge from the demand for boiled missionary among the Feejees, Now, why not look nearer home, and send mission- aries and tracts to the benighted heathens of East New York? Surely there isa sad want of Christian forbearance and charity among the target companies that select some of the peaceful residents or their houses as marks for ‘practice or among soldiers that sometimes inaugurate a cam, there. The philanthro- pio missionary n not confine his attention to East New Yorf/ alone if he turn his eyes bomewards. There are hundreds of similar fields for his labors on every side of him. Let him once withdraw his mind from the contem- plation of the benighted souls of Abyssinia and Hindostan, and he will find at his own door more darkness, misery and distress than ever he imagined. The trite yet often neglected adage, “charity begins at home,” comes in here for a share of his philanthropic attentions. ‘and there were also presents number of emi- nent foreign and frignds of the great republic. Our Mr. Bancroft, as ohair- man, delivered the address in honor of the day, and Herr Forkeybeok, President of the Prus- sian of Deputies, responded. The festivities concluded in the evening with ball, which was brilliant affair, and so the day, it may be eaid, was celebrated with all tho honors, fea ‘ This bringing together, too, of one hundred and seventy Americans in Berlin at a short notice in the month of November is suggestive of the large number of American travellers on the European Continent, and of the vast sums of money which, during the summer season, they scatter right and left between Paris and Bome, to say nothing of the British islands. Bunt these travellers do something in the aggregate better than the spending of money in Earope—in the information which they there diffuse Ende the character of our institutions, the intelligence of our people, and the prosperity and activity and the power and the resources of the United States of America. Thus, popular rights and popular government, as well as American securities, are beginning to be more clearly appreciated throughout Europe from year to year. In this view, this Thanksgiving dinner at Berlin was a happy stroke of American diplomacy. immigrants who arrived at that port on Wednes- day by the Bremon bark Gauss, under the auspices of the State Lmmigration Board, isa happy omen. It is probable that not a few of the five hundred and thirteen German pas- sengers who arrived at New York on Thursday by the Bremen steamship Weser, which, by the by, bas made the fastest passage ever made by & screw steamer frdm Southampton to this port— nine days and three hours—may find their way to the South. German immigration to the South will unquestionably prove as invaluable @ source of advantage to that section as it has hitherto proved to the great Northwest. The German immigrants bring over with them not only the wealth of muscle and intelligence, with frugal and industrious habits, but also no small stock of hard silver dollars. Their ideas are sometimes prone to be radical under the influence of revolutionary republicans of the Earopean type, but their radical proclivities here rarely travel any farther than such unwar- rantable interference with their social habits as our black republicans have ventured upon, by oppressive Sunday and Excise laws, will permit, Those who have been red republicans in Germany are black republicans here only so long as their lager beer is not rashly meddled with. This is one lesson taught by the late elections, Wherever the German immigrants may go they constitute a usefal and important element in our population ; and especially in the South, in its present condition, they should be heartily welcomed. The Rights of American Citizens. There has been recently introduced into the House of Representatives, and referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs, a resolution touching the rights of American citizens in for- eign countries and the duties of our represen- tatives abroad. The discussion arose out of recent events transpiring in Great Britain, where citizchs of this cqyntry have been denied rights which, under similar circumstances, would be granted to citizens of France or Ger- many or any other European Power. In the shape that this case was presented by the mem- ber from a district of Brooklyn, it does not ap- pear that any protection is claimed for men who have violated any law in Great Britain. Indeed, it would be monstrous to demand any such protection tor thom, although it might be insisted, and with ample justification, that if an American citizen is tried for an offence in Great Britain he shall bave the same advantage which the law allows to a French citizen, namely—that of a mixed jury. It might be de- manded also that he should be either tried upon some charge, whatever it may be, or re- leased from prison. These are the points as explained in Congress: that ‘no American, travelling in Europe for pleasure or business, shall be imprisoned without charge or con- demned without a fair trial. We have no desire to go into the merits of the specified cases. That is wholly unnecessary. The principles involved are broad and plain enough. No man has any claim upon his citizenship, however acquired, to shield him from the penalty of crime. No man has a right, for instance, to invade a country with which we are at peace and fall back upon his certificate of American citizen- ship for immunity. Any offort to establish such a doctrine as that, of course, should be and will be resisted. No one supposes that a citizen by naturaliza- tion has any less right before the world than a native born citizen. That would be to ignore the law. When he swears allegiance to this government he becomes de facio an outlaw to all others, as far as any claim upon their pro- tection is concerned, because he solemnly abjures allegiance to every Power and poten- tate save the United States. Therefore, if ho has no protection from this flag he is a mere outcast, and that is certainly not the accepted condition of a saturalized citizen. It is no part of the compact implied by voluntary allegiance. It is time, therefore, that the exact status of American citizens who choose to go abroad for legal purposes should be estab- lished finally, and the assumption of any for- eign nation to disregard that status, upon any pretext whatsoever, should not be allowed. Since 1812 there was no time when that subject came 80 forcibly before the country as the present, It was not settled then, but it ought to be settled now. It is for the American gov- ernment, and not for any foreign court of law, to decide whois a citizen of the United States and what rights he carries with him whither- soeverhe goes. This,as we comprehend it, is the queston before Congress. Women’s Rights and the ‘Manly’ Art” -@ The Pilgrims’ Progress. Those zealous missionaries in behalf of women’s rights, George Francis Train, Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Miss Susan B. Anthony, are still vigorously prosecuting their good work. Their especial field of labor ia the right of suffrage—the right of Polly, Molly and Dolly to assist Tom, Dick and Harry in party caucuses and primary elections, and in knocking down and dragging out obnoxious interlopers at the polls, The other evening the enthusiastic and eloquent Mr. Train, Mrs. Stanton and Miss Anthony spoke in Mozart Hall, Cincinnati, to a large audience, on their grand, glorious and inspiring theme, and they were well recelved. On the same day Joe Coburn made his appearance in the same city, with the announcement that on the fol« lowing evening he would give an exhibition of “the manly art of self-defence.” i Now, we incline to the opinion that it would not be a bad idea for these parties to travel together, for if women are to be invested with the right of suffrage they will need some knowledge of the “manly art.” In an excited and closely contested election in this city, for instance, “the roughs’ do not stand om ceremony when their ticket is in danger, and a gang of ladies bringing up the reserve column of the opposition would probably. be ungallantly shuffled of if not duly qualified to maintain their rights. Then, again, in travelling in company, as a sort of Union league, while Mr. Train, Mrs. Stanton and Miss Anthony, in their instructive and refined discourses, would soften and refine the harsher natures of the brotherhood of the pugilistio ring, Mr. Coburn, in his lectures and illustrations on the science of “tapping tha claret” of an adversary, “dousing his glim,’”” “breaking his spectacle bearer,” or “busting him in the snoot,” would open a new field of study and research to these heroio female champions of women’s rights. Heroio is the word; for after the late terrible defeat of Train, Mrs. Stanton and company on women’s rights in Kansas, sacred to the memory of John Brown and Jim Lane, what hope is there in any of the old slow coach States to the eastward for female or negro suffrage? Yot they have struck boldly into Ohio, where negro suffrage was swamped in October by fifty thousand majority the other way; and from the large audience and goog recoption of these Kansas pioneers in Cincin- nati, there is some prospect that by the time the seventeen years locusts or thirty-three years meteors come round again female suf- frage may elect the balance of power of Con- gress. At all ovents, with George Francia Train, Mrs. Stanton and Miss Anthony as lec: turers on women’s rights, and with Joe Cobura on “the manly art,” a combination of grace, beauty, talent and science might be formed which would completely eclipse the slow and drowsy readings of Dickens, British Capital for the Geath. The English newspapers speak of the visit of an agont of British capitalists to this country, to ascertein how the owners. of plantations in The British Abyssinian Expedition. Mr. Chandler, of higan, perpetrated a joke of questionable tae, by offering, on Fri- day, in the United Statds Senate, a parody on a proclamation issued by, the British govern- ment on the 14th of May; 861, or rather a ver- batim copy of that proclamation, simply changing the name of “United States” to “Great Britain,” and thq “Confederate States” to “Abyssinia,” and s¥bmitting it as a joint resolution, declaring thy impartial neutrality of the United States in entered upon, as thy new income tax of a penny in the pound for gear to come must have in- formed all Englishy bn. And the Heratp re- printed yesterday, from the Ansley Bay corres- pondence (October 27) of the London Times, & graphic account of the landing of the English advance brigade. This brigade pioncers a vast armament, under the command of General Sir Robert Napier, who, after winning renown in China, India and Persia, is to seek fresh laurels in Eastern Africa. Some two hundred steam- ers and transports, with the main body of the army, consisting of ten thousand men of all arms, and perhapsas many more followers, may have already landed on the shores of Ansley Bay, or the Bay of Adulis, which has been called the “Key of Abyssinia,” and which has not witnessed euch a congregation of vessels and troops since, as a London jourosl reminds us, the Emperor Eles- boas, with the co-operation of his ally, the Roman Emperor Justinian, fitted out a fleet for the transport of seventy thou- sand Abyssinians into Arabia, of which country he subjugated the whole coast, from Leuke Kome to Sabea, gaining the complete mastery in the Red Sea. The British troops, however, will find it easier to land than to penetrate to the mountain fastnesses, among which their wily foe can hide. Indeed, the correspond- ence which we yesterday reprinted concludes with a report from Colonel Merewether, of the pioneer expedition, “that no route exists where he bas explored available for the march of an army.” This is rather a discouraging commencement for a hostile-undertaking on so grand ascale, But if nature and the cunning of Theodorus do not overmatch British energy, courage and perseverence--if, in fine, Abys- sinia is conquered, we may expect even more important results than putting anond to tho tyranny of the cruel adventurer who claims to be the Theodorus of prophecy, and releasing the British captives. The presence of the Englisf in Abyssinia may tend to restore “this fair and #o long neglected country” to its ancient rank among civilized and powerful Christian nations. Tho war against Theodorus may open, at no remote date, a new and hitherto almost unexplored field for science, for commercial enterprise, for Christianisation and fature colonization in the fertile and healthy highlands which, according to tradi- tion and the testimony of natives and such horole travellers as Baker and his wife, exist in that part of the African Continent. Thus, war sometjmes may bave its high and holy uses. The Expmecs of the Pope’s Temporal Kingdom. Poor Rimard would have made short work of what is called tho Papal question, by oon- verting it into an arithmetical question. He would haw tried to solve it by simply calcu- lating the innual cost of maintaining the*tem- poral powe of the Pope, and by subtracting from thatemount his income from ordinary sources, taether with the inadequate sum total of the spamodic contributions of the two hun- dred millon Catholics throughout the world towards iding him to meet his ourrent expenses nd to pay the interest on the Papal loan. Thee two hundred million.Catholics, it seems, hye annually contributed somewhat less than ninépence (English money) during the five pars of “Poter’s pence” collections, the total result of those collections having amounte only to one million four hundred and eigty thousand pounds. The annual revenue f the Papal exchequer, derived from the usua sources, amounted, in 1864, it is said, to but oe million pounds. According to the statemet of the public debt at that date (three years ap), “the Pope,” says the London Daily News, ‘vas, commercially speaking, insolvent, if to ow twenty million pounds sterling, and to be uable to pay the interest, doserves to be called insolvency.” Unless the Catholic Powerof Europe are disposed, not only to let Francenako the second occupation of Rome perpetal, but to ald it, with the help of volun- tary eatributions from Catholics in every countr; in closing the deficit of the Papal “Treasw by annual supplies, the Papal gov- ernmet must, within a limited time, “ encoun- ter theate of all establishments that cannot pay thr way in this world, and of individuals who bre begged and borrowed till they have exhaued human charity and credulity, and who bre no capacity for stealing.” If the tem- poral ower of the Pope were,‘to be surren- derednot only would the Holy Father be spareéhe cost of poe gyre “ Poter’s pence would doubtless flow Into his coffors in greate abundance ever.

It is said the object is to assist both the small landowners, white or black, and the large planters, and to inqnire if good and available security can be given for loana They say that if this can be done the immense sums now locked up in England might be invested so as to realize a good and safe return for British capital, as well as to benefit the South. We have on several occasions recommended British capitalists to turn their attention to the South as the best country in which to employ their abundant wealth. We have shown that capital, which can hardly find investment at two or three per cent in England, could realize from ten to thirty per cen? in the South, with ample security. But if capitalists wish to buy property there they can obtain it for & trifle compared with what it is intrinsically worth, and what it will be worth in the mar- kot a fow years hence.
