The loss BOOK NOTICE. Tur Hoty Row, L. ee yr LAN Brias. By James Bryce, B. C. ‘This is @ historical, political and moral review of the relations to the world of that Holy Roman Empire which, as Voltaire said, was not holy, norRoman, nor anempire. Voltaire’s saying was strictly true, and the story, therefore, is one having very little to do with physical Rome, little to do with imperial power and equally littie to do with anything really holy. It is the history of a name by the use of which the popes ruled and ruined Europe. It is the history of an idea that had its day of power in the world, some- times only intellectually and by superstition, and sometimes as associated with great facts—a history that from Rome regards the whole of Europe and contemplates especially the rise of the modern system. The Holy Roman Empire was the temporal power of the Pope—a theory and a doctrine constituting it- self an institution, In the eighth century Rome lay on the Tiber, abandoned by those emperors who pre- tended to rule the world and who had left her for their new capital on the Bosphorus. Power ema- nating from the distant capital was so feebly felt that the bishops in Rome had a natural temptation to be- come independent of it. Desirous as they felt to throw off the thraldom—Jealous as they were for the supremacy of Rome, the effort seemed one of doubt- ful safety on the part of churghmen acting alone, but allied with a great neighboring military Power there could be no question of success. Hence the alllance ‘with Charlemagne and the establishment of the Em- pire of the West. There was mutual advantage. Charlemagne by material power guaranteed the Pope’s supremacy against the Eastern rulers, and the Pope guaranteed Charlemagne by that spiritual endorsement that was then of great import. In order to understand what the Pope guaranteed Charlemagne, and what is the very essence of the empire in all its later history, we must remember ben A tral middle ages were not in the remotest sense ical. They were religious, We have seennearer our own times a Puritan theology stated in three points:—1. The earth is the Lord’s; 2. The Saints shall inherit the earth; 3. We aie the saints, Gov- ernment has been founded in Protestant countries on this theory, pure and simple, and it is still the es- sence of Puritanism wherever it flourishes; for de- spite all we declaim against the “union of Church and State,” yet wherever an appeal is made to “higher law there is the worst because the most real type of that union; for there the laws of ‘the State are subordinated to doc- trines of the Church. Now, in the principle laid down in the three points on which the ‘higher law”? is founded Puritanism exactly agrees with the most extreme position of the Popery it hates, in regard to the union of Church and State. The earth was the Lord’s as the whole Catholic wortd devoutly believed; “for he made it.”” This was not a view held in church and forgotten outside, like modern piety, but it was a constant law. Since, then, the earth was the Lord's it was to be held and ruled by whomsoever He chose for the purpose; and the choice could only be ascertalned through the Chureh and only made effective through an appoint- ment by the Pope. Next to God, thereiore, the Pope was supreme in theory; but practically tts was a litile’ dimerent; ' for the Pope dele- gated authority for material rule to whoever held the material power, His course in this prevented the doctrine coming into rude col- lision with facts until such time as the doctrine itself had grown tobe as great ®@ fact as any, and then the popes boldly asserted that the power had always been theirs, and that the Holy Roman Empire was only held from the Pope by feudal tenure; that the Pope was temporal as well as spiritual ruler. The earth, being the Lord’s, was only finding its governing power a little nearer the original source. That the goverument of the world should thus be rested entirely on its religion was in a great degree areaction from the ancient ideas, Political science had reached a high development in Greece and under ancient Rome. Federal government, that highest and most artilicial type of governmental machinery, had flourished and been reasoned to its ultimate re- sults thousands of years befote the world fell down to kiss the foot of a pricst. But the world had thor- ou; learned that there was no control in potitieal systems, Counting on Senates, on popular assemblies, on executive rulers, on courts, on generais, it found that in the ultimate trial all were swayed by corrupt motives--by selfishness, pride, ambition, bribery; and thus its finest fabric of teason came to naught. From this it turned readily to a system that assumed anew starting point—that promised a more substantial fabric by basing ail on an obligation of moral force, So Rome became the soul of the world, and the ruler consecrated by her held men through the terrors of hell or the hope of heaven, Such in fact and in morality was the origin of the Holy Roman Empire, which proved on the whole a satisfactory middie term between Imperial Rome and the States system of modern Europe. It came into existence on the Christian idea, and the civiliza- tion that Christianity developed destroyed it. The Reformation was intellectually the end of the empire; and it was practicaliy, too, for Protestantism making individuality, made nationality, and thus made hatred to the empire in Germany, as it was a sign of foreign domination. Otver things concurred in its practical destruction, Nowhere in the same compass can @ better account of this ancient institution be had than in Mr. Bryce’s little volume, MUSICAL REVIEW. Schuberth & Co, publish a very handsome edition of Spohr's Autoblography, an exceedingly interest- ing work, abounding in reminiscences of all the great composers who flourished in the early part of this century.

Grand Democratic Rally at Stamford— Speeches of Mayor Hoffman, E. O. Perrin and Othere—The Democrats Confident of Victory in the Approaching Election. Last evening an influential Democratic campaign meeting was held in Seely's Hall, Stamford, Conn., and throughout the entire proceedings the greatest enthusiasm was displayed. The weather was de- lightfully fine, and, attracted by the interesting character of the meeting, a very numerous assem- blage, including many ladies, congregated within the building, Owing to the near approach of the coming election much excitement prevailed, and the unanimous and cordial response given by the democrats of this locality shows thetr deter- mination to support their candidates, Governor Eng- lish and Charles Benedick, Taking into account the fact that the votes of the opposing parties are almost evenly balanced, a severe struggle for the ascendancy may be anticipated. The halt was neatly decorated with flags and banners. Wheeler & Wil- son’s Band, from Bridgeport, was inattendance and played a pleasing selection during the evening. Pre- vious to the meeting Mr. James H. Hoyt was sere- naded at his residence in the square, after which the proceedings were inaugurated with a brilliant pyro- technic display outside the hall, which shortly after seven o'clock was crowded to excess, not only with the inhabitants of the town but with many from the surrounding district, Mr. Edward A. Quintard pre- sided. Mr. James Olmstead called the meeting to order and read the following names_as Vice Presidenta:— Stephen B. Provost, James H. Hoyt, William Gay, James H. Olmstead, Dr. James H. Hoyt, Charles M. Holly, Jeremiah G, Smith, Oliver Schoteld. George Loumston, Nathaniel B, Wi |, David Westborough. Charlies Leed, William A. Keller, George Elder Dwight Naugh, Edward A, Leeds, A, W.

Madden, R. D. Swartous, A. T. Jones, W. W. Skiddy, Norman D. Jones, F. J. Moore and G. W. Searles. The CHAIRMAN briefly addressed the audience, (napking them forthe honor conferred upon him, and having introduced Mayor Hofman resumed bis seat amid applause. Mr. HOFFMAN, on coming forward, said that the large assemblage gathered at the closed of a week's care and a week’s labor to hear discussed the issue involved in the contest which now interested the people of Connecticut and the country, the upturned ‘and earnest faces upon which he looked, the enthu- siasm with which they greeted the speaker, told him that the people of Connecticut realized to the fullest extent the importance of the contest in which they were engaged.

It came ata time when the conservatism of the country, North and South, East and West felt that tis a time when the chilling influences of war and passion and prejudices should melt away before a geniat spring ume in the hearts of the American people. Three years had passed since the war in which the Amert- can peopie were engaged; three years had passed since the last cannon Was fired and shook the country from its very foundations; three years had passed since the armies were disbanded, and, ailhough three years of peace had ensued, the peopie of this country were not at peace.
