Recent insiances have but too well exemplified their releuticss bate, and the power whieu their vast organiza. copiers to gratify it. The Pope, at first, by no means relished the idea of General Council, Such ussemblies had too often proved like unraly Parhaments and imposed their wili upon the Pontitfs who called them tnio exist- ence. The Council of Constance, which sat from 1414 to 1418 and was one of the most solemn and universa ly attended general councils ever held, pro- nounced, in fact, that the decision of such bodies is superior to the authority of the Pope himself. The reverend wire-pullers of the Pontifical Court find ita dimcult if not impossible matter to stifle dissentient voices in an assembly of men brought from all cor- ners of the earth, At the last canonization and St. Peter's centenary festivals bishups of distant sees came to Rowe, chafing under the encroachments of the Pontifical central power upon their independence a@ud ihe espionage established over them by the Jesuits. There are Cathoue bishops and clergy who are not sound upon the doctrine of the temporal power, who think that the Chureh should adapt her- sali Lo the progress of the age and instead of seeking Ww sant out light racher light the way. Such men could not but feel deep disgust at the patent ime morality and corrupt.on of KOwan hierarchical gov- ernment and the utter servillty of the cardinals to ‘the will of the Vatican. Sull, 1! must be said there are few such men, in Europe, at least, aud even those make no sign. Some, Indeed, have humbly recanted from their estilenterror of daring to think for themselves— ‘atner Passaglia, for exampie—and have besought to be received back into the fold of orthodoxy, which is now synonymous with a bigoted spirit of reaction that Difudiy seeks to stem the who.e current of mod- ern thought.

Such juxtaposition must deeply wound the Austrian imperial iamily and still further widen the breach between Vienna and Kome. Juarez is said to have written au autograph ictter to the Pope, couched in the most penitent style, and attributing his past acts to the force of circum: stances, and not to any tll will against the holy Church, to whom he promised to assure a splendid future in Mexico. ‘The Apostoiic Majesty of Austria 4s a sad thorn in the side of Pius IX. Every possibie influence was used with the Emperor Francis Joseph to induce him to refuse his sanction to the laws — by the Austrian Parliament tn opposition to Concordat, but in vain, The priests worked as Much a8 poxsible upon the Empresas, then on the point of her confinement, and hoped through her solicktation at so interesting a period to gain their end, But the Emperor, furtunately, was not guilty of so suicidal an act as that of fying in the fave of the overwhelming majority of his people. he long hesitated sign the Jaws presented to him by Baron von Beust, but good sense prevalied at last and the Austro-Papal cordat is now a thing of the past. The. Pope declares the laws upon civil matrimony and secular educa- to be abominable, pronounces them to be null and void and fulminates dread ities against their authors and executors. But thunders of the Vatican have loug lost their boit, and the people of Vienna, in fact, scarceiy hear them, Em was anxious to arrange maiters @ Vammabie, but the and his Ministers would not yield an fota, and thus the strong band which once bound Austria to the Romish Church has been at one biow nearly sunder.d. The Pope now charita- biy endeavors to excite the Austrian and Hungariun clergy to throw every possibie obstacle in the way of the government. SO much the worse for them if they listen to the it counsel of Rome. ‘They will become aliens in the midst of a people who are heartily sick of ecclesiastical nny, and Luther's Bible will gradually supplant the missal.

Time has pot dealt generously with this favorite old haunt of many a summer tourist and sojourner. ‘The season of 1868 ts bewalled by hotel proprietors a6 one of the poorest known; but it is so, they say, im every year of a Presidential election. People have so much talking and planning and scheming to do that they can’t find time to make their usual run to the watering places. The political agitation in the country, the New York Convention and the pro- tracted session of Congress are occasions that com- bine to Keep people away from the summer resorts. Five hundred would fully cover the number of per- sons now at Avon, The hotels are about two-thirds full, but they have rivals this year in the many board- ing houses which have been suddenly opened and in the private cottages rented by families, who seem to Manifest an aversion to the old way of herding to- gether in the mere stalls of rooms at the hotels. ‘The village looks quite saponins and imposing under this sudden accession of new domiciles and inhabit- ants. if the crowd is not as great ag it ought to be or 48 looked for at this time the fault 1s not in any deterioration of atfairs in Avon itself. The springs are flowing quite protusely, and the water is cer- tainly strong enough. The scenery is just as pietty, the drives as good, the Genesee Valley just as at- tractive and the half-mountain breeze just as invigo- rating.

Pittman, who was formerly connected with one of the Long Branch hotels, has @ cosey place near the beach called “ Hood Cottage,” but it is not used as a resort for permanent visitors, Dinner parties from Boston are its custom at present.
