High and wife sailed yesterday in the City of Paris for Europe. the Church of the Future. The letter which some weeks ago the Ptre Hyacinthe addressed to the chief of his order fell, it was said, like a bombshell, startling Christendom and spreading dismay through the cerried ranks of Catholicism. The expec- tations which that letter created have not been fully met in the interval ; but the expectations, naturally enough in the circumstances, were pitched a little too high. Catholics were unnecessarily downcast; Protestants were unduly elated. It is not yet necessary that the eloquent work should be lost to the Catholic Chureb. It is far from certain that he will ultimately be won over to Protestant- ism. The letier which was read at the Evan- gel Alliance meeting on Thursday sets the good Father right with the entire Christian Father Hyacinthe and world. No one can read that letter withont fully understanding the secret of the Father's power in the pulpit. His thoughts breathe; his words burn; and we feel as we 1 that he commands tho respect of our intellect and the homage of our heart. In the narrow ecclesiastical sense he can never be a Protestant; but it is just as im- possible that his broad, generous soul—with its detestation of wrong, its lingering liking for a past which, afier all, is not wholly with- | out beanty and its glowing aspirations toward tho brilliant and promise-laden future—should | ever again be cooped up within the confines of a cloister, or even within the pale of the so- stratious.

Elsewhere this morning we publish a condensed Secount of ecumenical counctis in geveral, with a history of ‘the various councils of tue Church here. tofore and the probable effect of the coming one at Rome.

We are disposed, on the whole, to accept the Father's latest letter as in somo sens» indi- eating his futnra policy. “I continue,” he says, ‘faithful to my Church.” ‘I have | lifted up my protest against the excesses whi ch dishonor it and seem bent on its ruin.” ‘I have never said thatthe Christian communions separated from Rome were disinherited of the Holy Ghost, and without a part in the immense work ofthe preparation of the Kingdom of God. In my relations with some of the most pious and the most learned of their members I have experienced, in those depths of the soul where illusion is impossible, the unutterable blessing of the communion of saints.” The Father sees and admits division, and regrets it; but external division—division in space and time— “vanishes like a dream before that which unites us withia—the grace of the same God, the blood | of the same Christ, the hopes of the same eter- nity.” There are prejudices, alienations, irri- tations, experienced alike by Catholics and Protestarits, “but under the eye of God, who ' seeth what we cannot see; under His hand, whieh lvadeth us whither we would not go, we are all laboring in common for the upbuild- ing of that church of the future which shall be the church of the past in its original purity and beauty, but shall have besides the depth of its analysis, the breadth of ita synthesis, the experience of its toils, its struggles and its geiefs through all these centuries,” The Father, looking upon the Church of Rome and of the Reformation and the nations that follow them, sees but one tree—a tree still barren and mutilated; but, gifted with the prophet’s eye, and yielding to the impulses of a great and generous heart, he beholds upon that tree the ‘‘brilliant flower and the savory fruit— one God, one faith, one baptism”—and it is his hope and confident belief, that yet there shall be but ‘“‘one flock and one shepherd.” This programme, this confession of faith, is quite to our mind. We could ask nothing more. We would be contented with nothing less. If it is not suMiciently positive it is far from being negative, and it is broad and gen- erous and catholic in the true sense, A more noble Christian platform never called for the suffrages of mankind, Although he does not say it in so many words the Father knows that he lives in the nineteenth century, and that steam, electricity and the printing press have now to do with the thoughts, the feel- ings and the habits of men, Time was when Melchizedek was the pattern man, Men had to be taught and they had to be ruled, and tho teaching and the ruling had to be done by one and the same person, The priest was tho king and the king was the priest. That time has long since passed away. Time was—and that time is not so remote—when the priest was the only teacher. In those days there were books, but the books were few and very timid. As yet there was no newspaper. That other time has passed away; for the printed vol- umes, which are numerous, have become dar- ing and aggressive and the newspaper is at once the monarch and the teacher—the king and the priest—of the hour, Evidently the good Father sees and bows to facts. We can have no more Romish supremacy; and we are nearly tired of Protestant tyranny. But we have not wholly ceased to believe. There are hundreds of thousands of good men— men who think, who are Christian to the core, although sick of ecclesiasticism—who wel- come this grand, opea, generous, non-com- mittal platform of Father Hyacintho; and if the Father has only the courage to persevere those hundreds of thousands will not be slow to rally around him, The civilized world is Christian, although torn and divided; but if only the old motto were adopied—‘‘in essen- tials unity, in non-essentials charity, in all things truth”—the civilized world would become a unit as far as unity is desirable. The Hyacinthe platform is the only platform that promises this unity. As we have ceased to hope any good thing from the Ecumenical Council, and as we do not expect much from the Evangelical Alliance, we earnestly advise Father Hyacinthe to stand to his platform, to take full advantage of his opportunity and to lay broad and deep the foundations of the church of the fature. Governor Hoffman Gives the Signal. On Friday evening last Governor Hoffman waa serenaded at Albany by the ‘Jackso- nians,” and in recognizing the compliment he made a speech, It was nota long speech, but it was the most important democratic speech that has been made on New York affairs for twenty years. We shall here repro- duce a few of its leading points. First of all the Governor said, ‘‘We propose to make the Legislature of New York honest.” This is a great thing, but the undertaking is so tremen- dous that we fear that the Governor's promise will not be fulfilled. He next says that the radicals will be shown that in a democratic Leg- islature there are no men of the kind who can be bought. Here, again, our enthusiasm falls chort of the Governor's, and ‘the proof of the pudding is in the eating thereof.” Thirdly, the Governor touches the pith and marrow of his subject. He says :—‘‘We propose to give to the people of the State of New York,.all over, the right of self-government. We propose to abolish such laws as infringe upon the rights of localities and to secure to them the right to govern themselves, We shall not abolish such laws and give the people something worse, but will give them better laws. We propose to make the State of New York and the govern- ment, in all its branches, thoroughly demo- cratic.” “Thoroughly democratic” means that all the republican party legislation for this State of the last fifteen years will be knocked on the head; that all the independent commissions and boards of this city will be abolished; that King Kennedy will be dethroned; that the des- potism of the Excise law will be removed, and the botheration of the registry ; that, in short, in the removal of the radical restraints and outrages from the masses of this island, and in a new enlargement of the spoils, we shall have a sort of democratic millennium, Very good. We are glad of the change. The republican party in its long reign over the State has become awfully corrupt. Its legis- lators have become so debased that they have been bought and sold, Greeley has pro- claimed it from the housetops, and has demanded that these corrupted republican traders be turued out, The peoplo have responded by turning the whole party out as the shortest way of rebuking republican rascalities. Governor Hoffman understands it; yet still we think that he promises too much. But we shall see, A Vote or Taanxs.—The Jewish Reform Convention, previous to separating at Phila- delphia, passed a vote of thanks to the New York Herarp, which we accept in the spirit which dictated the compliment. The Herap has always been and always will be courteous and fair with every religion and every race, especially to those who are unjustly suffering from disabilities and persecution, It has been at all times willing to sustain the cause of nationalities, races and religions at which injustica in any form has levelled its blows, The Israclites in the United States and throughout the world may be embraéed in this category ; and for that reason,-fg well ag because of the excellence which heg always characterized their career in this ccantry, they have had the respect and support of tho Heratp. This is the second time that a con- vention representing the faith of Israel has expressed its thanks for the services of this journal, : Krxe@ Victor Emanvn}, ig seriously ill in Florence, Prince Napojcon Bonaparte leaves Paris to-day to visit hit father-in-law.

In another column will be found a’ full report of the proceedings at the Coroner's inquest touching the death of Archibald Douglas, who was shot at and killed by Deputy Sherif? Thomas Jackson on Friday, the 29th ult. A more convincing and damning record of the impunity with which political coroners and jurles of inquests, selected for political partisanship, seek to cover up the most atrocious crimes when committed in times of political agitation, could hardly be presented to the public as will be found from a perusal of the proceedings referred to. But one con- clusion can be arrived at—that is, that Douglas gave his murderer no provocation, and that the latter fired the fatal shot in that spirit of lawlessness which his calling as a deputy sheriff and his association as a political partisan engendered. To what extent he was justified ia calculating upon impunity for any outrage he might commit against the laws, even to the taking of life, will be seen from the report of what trans- pired at the inquest. Notwithstanding it was most clearly shown that the deceased gave no provocation whatever for the shooting, the verdict of the jury stands recorded as fol- lows :— Archibald vouglas came to his death by menin- gitis, the result of a pistol shot wound tn the head recetved at the hands of Thomas Jackson. * * * * And we consider that Jackson used said pistol ‘“par- tially” in self-defence, beileving his life in danger. A perusal of the full report as published is necessary to a proper understanding of tho safeguards which our laws, as administered within the city, throw around the lives of tho citizens. Newspaper Enterprise in England, George Peabody died in London last Thurs- day night, at half-past eleven o'clock, The London journals of yesterday morning say the event ‘‘occurred at such a late hour it could not be widely published until to-day,” Satur- day. The English writers have consequently just commenced to tell all about the great millionaire and philanthropist, Mr. Pea- body's death, as we have already shown, was reported by special cable telegram at tho Herarp building at fifty-eight minutes past eight o'clock Thursday evening, and a history of his life to the latest moment of his existence was published in our columns before daybreak Friday morning. If the London editors pos- sessed any business enterprise they would have telegraphed to us by cable, in ‘a gen- tlemanly manner, you know,” requesting a few of the leading items of his public career, which we should perhaps have transmitted to them in reply, so as to enable them to ‘‘get out” something on Friday; obliging them in this respect in the same spirit in which we aided the British War Office from this side to tell her Majesty Queen Victoria of the triumphs of her troops in Abyssinia long before they had heard a word about the glorious news, Is it any wonder there are only three paying newspapers in London? Tar New Post OrFioz Going AHEAD.— The way in which the work is pushed forward on this promised structuro is worthy of all praise. It seems to be fully intended by those having the labor in charge that the present generation shall have tho benefit of the new edifice, and they are willing to show that we live in an age that has made some giscoveries, For instance, they completely do away with the old prejudice that work is only to be done in the day. Every hour in the twenty-four is held equally good in that triangle, and the men who work under the blaze of the Drum- mond lights work to as much effect as those that have the sunshine. It is promised that the wall will be above the fence in Decembor, and it seems as if we may have the wholo exterior within a year. That will be rather better time than the Court House time. Fisk, Jz.—We publish to-day an interest- ing sketch of the ‘‘recollections of the busy life’ of James Fisk, Jr., whose operations in railroads and steamboats, opera houses and theatres, and in Wall street and the courts of law of this city during the last two years have ‘made his name familiar in our mouths as household words.” The spoils, the name and fame for which other aspiring men have to struggle for ten, twenty, thirty or forty years, Fisk has achieved in two—the moral of which, according to young New York, is ‘Go thouand do likewise.” Hn pas- sant, it is understood that the Grand Jury on the late gold ring will have Mr. Fisk before them to-morrow, Toe Custom Hovse Excirement.—It appears that the investigations of the Con- gressional Committee into the affairs of the Custom House have resulted in uncarthing an astounding system of frauds on ‘drawbacks,” charged to Deputy Collector Blatchford; that the excitement in the Custom House over these revelations is unabated, and that Deputy Blatchford has not been at the Custom House since the revelations were made known, nor heard from since the Ist inst. Whither has he gone? and wherefore? These ques- tions the Congressional Committee will, per- haps, be able to answer in their report to the House. Meantime, if they have struck a placer let them work it. Sensation Rerort oF A BouEMIAN OrGAN Asour Sprom Payments.—The Bohemian organ of this city had a blazing sensation report (from Washington?) about resiming specie payments on the Ist of n6xt January. It remarks, however, that” the precise mode which Mr. Boutweil will adopt to bring about that result is.zot clear. ‘This is the only clear thing in the report. All the rest is muddy enough. Noone is so insane as to imagine that any g¢heme can be concocted to bring about Specie payment either by the Ist of January jt by the last of December, 1870. Nor is Mr. Bonutwell so stupid as to talk about making the effort. People will only laugh at this weak attempt to create a sensation about specie payments, Tne Giant Horstep,—Finally the illustrious stone Welshman of Onondaga has been lifted out of the place in which ho was found and taken to Syracuse, Tho full view of him in the air confirms all that was thought of him as a statue by those who only saw him in the trench, and he seems likely to prove one of the most intoresting discoveries made on our Continent this long while. Do not the illus- trated papers know that their mission is to prosent to the public some accurate represen~ tation of this statue? i err —‘“‘iés “Deapngap MitgacE.—The Committee of A War of Fire ia Cubs. General Cospedes, President of the Cuban republic, has issued a decree urging the Cubans devoted to the cause of independence to the destruction of every sugar cane field on the island, and that ‘the ripening tobacco crop be also destroyed as far as may be, whether in the field or after gathered for curing.” Tho object is to reduce as far as pos- sible the revenues of $37,000,000 which Spain derives from Cuban sugar, tobacco and other products, and from which she obtains her sinews of war. The emancipated blacks, who know every plantation, road, and bypath in the island, are to be chiefly employed in this war of fire. ‘‘ The more effectually, ” says Cespedes, ‘this work of destruction is accom- plished the more swiftly qill our holy cause bo advanced and the goal of freedom reached. ” This has a startling sound; but such is war. It is precisely the course pursued by Sheridan, under the orders of Grant, in the Shenandoah Valley, and by Sherman on leaving Atlanta for his march to the sea. Cespedes also aims to strike the enemy in his most vulnerable point, and we may expect, therefore, that there will be such terrible illuminations over Cuba meantime that, with the meeting of Congress, the attention of the two houses will be drawn by General Grant to the expediency of some decisive measures of intervention in behalf of peace. ‘ The Fashions. Among the foreign fashions duly noted by our correspondent to-day is “that partial suicide, called a duel,” exemplified by the recent encounter between Prince de Metter- nich and the Count de Beaumont. But such a@ fashion is unlikely to become prevalent here until “‘flirtation” shall cease to be con- fined for the most part to unmarried ladies, The dazzling descriptions which come from Constantinople of the Oriental magnificence with which the ChAteau of Beilerbey has been fitted up for the reception of the Empress may tempt Paris and New York manufacturers of furniture to imitate the semi-barbaric gold and glitter of Asiatic styles, Meanwhile the Parisian belles who follow in the suite of the Empress on her Egyptian trip have made the mistake of supposing ‘“‘that they must be worked all over with gold, and have had sumptuous Oriental braiding put on every- thing.” This is carrying coals to Newcastle. As our correspondent observes, ‘‘the Bedouins in high life ege that sort of attire every day, and Parisian beiles would have been wiser if they had carried thither pure French styles, which Mussulmans could not have resisted.” In Paris itself, excepting the brilliant toilets at the Italiens and ‘‘the rich Regeuce styles for full dress,” a rich simplicity prevails, and “the great idea this season is a plain cloth suit, olive green being preferred, no.trimming, but a faultless cut.” A black silk costume is particularly designated as in vogue for the winter, together with a new high hat, the belle Gabrielle, pointed bodices, ruffles and tunics; and, finally, winter mantles, made with pagoda sleeves, square pockets and Bohemian brandebourgs down the front. Notwithstanding brief glimpses of Indian summer weather, foretokens of winter fashions and furs already begin to appear in New York as well a5 in Paris, Santanta Out AGarN.—It turns out that Santanta, chief of the Kiowas and the terror of the white settlers on the Plains, is not dead after all, as reported a few days ago, but is alive and on the warpath against the whites. This fellow is regarded by the military officers on the frontier as the greatest devil of all the warriors in that region. Years ago he was doomed to such mercy only as the wolf should receive. His extermination has been vowed by many an officer, should he ever fall into the clutches of our troops. There may bea chance to catch him in the campaign which he is now inaugurating, and if any of our soldiers come across him he will get short shrift, AnoTuER Boat Raog.—There has been another boat race in England, but we are sorry to say that the entente cordiale which characterized the Harvard and Oxford contest was not preserved by the oarsmen of the Thames and Tyne race the other day. One of the Thames crew, annoyed by defeat, picked a quarrel with the American oarsman, Walter Browne, which resulted in the latter being rather roughly handled. Fortunately for the reputation of the Thames crew, somo friends interfered and prevented more serious results. The young bloods of the English boat clubs should know better than to ill-treat astranger, The Oxford men seta good exam- ple, which the Thames and Tyne crews should have followed. Tue New Orper or Burotary.—During the summer some thousands of dollars’ worth of goods were taken from a house in the city that had been left in charge of some trusted persons while the family was out of town. It now appears that the theft was committed by the persons who had the care of the house, Although this is only such a betrayal of trust as may be heard of at any time, yet it is especially worthy of notice to the large num- ber of citizens who leave their houses in the samo way every summer, It does not answer- to repose such 9~trust™fit’ a person not Ways and Means has spent this ycar twelve thousand dollars as travelling expenses. “It is reported that the larger part of this sum is for mileage, and we suppose the committee never paid for a single mile of all its travel. It travelled deadhead all the way all summer long, for railroad men know the favor that is to be acquired on the cheap plan. Here is the chance for the man who was willing to be Comptroller. He ought to be good on accounts, and he used to be wonderful on mileage, Will he look after this committee ? Senn Him Home.—Certain communica- tions were made to our government by a properly accredited Minister in regard to the affairs of the State from which he had recently returned, Some intimation of the nature of these communications were given by rumor, but diplomatic propriety assumes that the repre- sentatives of other Powers here can take no action on such rumors, Yet in defiance of this rule a member of the Argentine Legation has seen proper to denounce as falsehoods the communications made by the Minister, of which officially he could have no knowledge, He should be sent home, | cds ee ESSE MUSICAY, AND THEATRICAL NOTES, Mr, Lester Wallack to-morrow evening makes his first appearance this season upon the boards at the Wallackian temple, in a new version of Roberteon’s comedy of “Home.” The annual reappearance of Mr. Wallack is regarded by the entire profession as ® sajnt’s day in the dramatic calendar, and is always hutied with delight by the play-goers of unis city, While he represents the light, gay summer dregs of the modern school of acting, there ts much of the,healthy and vigorous bloom of the good old school still Ungering around him. fle is, indeed, almost the only actor now on the stage who combines the advantages of both, and who has the solid basis of the old with the lighter and more graceful setting of the new. He to-day stands almost alone in a range which covers a very wide and diversified fleld of character, In such parts as require a thin, but exquisite, gilding Charles Mathews may equal him. In melodramatic parts of the more dashing school, such as Don Owsar de Bazan, he may have been even surpassed by Frede- ric Lemaitre, and in such dark and gloomy charac- ters as Horace, in ‘‘Pauline,”? he may have been equalled, if noi excelled, by Charies Kean; but take variety of excellence, which 18 the true test, and there Js scarcely an actor on the mimic stage to-day Who can compare with him. From the very highest to the iowest comedy his range runs, with his gayety apparently gushing from a spring, insted of being piped from a reservoir, as is too often the case i these days of sot-disant “great actors.” As a matter of course the mei announcement of Mr. Wallack’s reappearance wil be sutiicient to crowd the house to its fullest capa- city, uring the season uo will appear in two new and original characters in addition to a number of his most popular impersonations, ‘The present week will also mark the occurrence of another important dramatic event in this city, Which promises to be as pleasant as it Is interesting, On next Wednesday evening the Théatre Frangaig, under the sole management of Mr. O, W.

Several of the “set scenes,” especially one repre- senting the “London Docks,” and the sailing of a large steamship, are said to be the perfection of realistic ciect. The prices have been regulated according to the popular standard, and the company embraces such well Kpown artists as Messrs. Bangs, Lewis Baker, E. Righton, G F. Devere, A. Pits gerald, O. ', Parsioe, Jr., £ Be Puiilips, Mrs, ‘Clara Jennings ana Mrs. A. Hind, There is every reason for believing that the new season at the Francais will prove a success, In the way of spiritual mantfestations we are pro- mised something excessively funny, not to say Inare vellous, at Irving Hali on next Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings, On taese nights a oertan Miss Harriot Tackaberry, of Cleveland, will give pubile séances, at which she will be securely tied hand and foot, and her pretty (?) mouth, instead of being stopped with kisses, “will be sealed with adbesive pilaster.’ Not only will such mantfesta- tlons as are produced through the mediumship of the Davenport Brothers aud othera b> repeated, but the spirits of little children, men and women will speak to the audience, answer questions addressed to them ana Will also sing together, while the me- dium is entranced and in an entirely unconscious state, So says the programme which has been pre- pared for this jolly entertamment. What are we coming to? AFRICA IN| DISTRESS, A Raid Into Ethiopia—Capture of a Nogre Dance House—The Colored Fancy in Court. Early yesterday morning the oficers of the Eighth Precinct made a@ descent upon a negro dance house in Greene street and vaptured a large number of the colored fancy, who were making night hideous with their noisy festivities, The scene at the Eighth precinct court, when the negroes were marshalled before the Justice, was of @ decidedly Ethiopian character. In addition to the captured negroes an immense number of their sooty friends and sympathizers rallied on the spot, and not only monopolized all the space allotted to spectators, but converted the court room into a great retort of aroma that steamed out through the doors and window crevices with a pungency appalling to sensitive nostrils round about the place. . Oilicer Kearney appeared as complainant against the prisoners, numbering thirty in all, and stated that between two and three o'clock in the morning, while on post in the vicinity of Greene street, he heard most unearthly yells and shrieks proceeding from the premises No. 35, occupied by James Bohe, a colored man, as & coffee and cake saloon. Securing a reinforcement of oflicers from the station house, they proceeded to the piace, where they found the whole party con- eh in one room, & band in the turther end and jhe happy darkles shinning 1t down in grand style, occasionally interiningling a yell and a whoop that seemed as if it would raise the roof irom the dilapi- dated buiiding. As soon as the leader of the aiscovered the ofiicers entering he cailed off to his audience to take their seats and listen to what the White brothers had to propose. The latter ordered them to put on their thingy and proceed to the sta- tion house, Tne party at first objected most stub- bornly, but finally, irom an order issued by the leader, they donned their apparel, aud placing them. selves In double file, headed by the band, marched to the station house under guard, and were up for the balance of the night. Counsellor Johnson appeared on behalf of the risoers, and atter hearing the complaiat rolled up a coat sleeves and addressed the Court as fol- jows:— May it please your Honan, I appears for dose yere onfortenate representatives of Ham, who are yere arraigned before your lionah. Dis am one of de Most disgraceful tings dac haa happened to de co- lored population of dis yere city since de commence- ment of de building of de new Court House, over two nundred years ago. Here ,are thirty of my nobie countrymen brought up here before you, for what? For what? I say. Dat is what I’m trying to find out. Nobody nose; nobody wants to. But I what for am dey heah? I am credibly informe sah, dat one James Bole—who is not heah, sah— Keeps a little restaurant at 35 Greene street, and has an aged mudder to sustain, and last night invitations were sent out to de nelgubors to give her a benefit, and all deve yeah gemmen and ladies assembled dere, log tr from five ceats to forty, as they feit able, and hired a band of muse for de purpose of having a break dowa, and two or three drunken loaiers entered and wanted to figut de whole crowd, drawing a knife trom dere pockets, which is heah now in court in de possession of de aged female for whose benefit they had aasembied. If dis yeah oMcer can poiut out to your flonah aay person who was engaged tn any difficulty in that house last night I am here to help—yes, sah, to help prosecute them. I am with you, officer. Look at dem. Dey are black, but onable. Show me one. Ob, you can’t, you can't. And almost exhausted the counsellor placed his hand tnside iis vest and leaned back against the railing, satisfied tuat he had done his whole duty towards his countrymen, ‘The oficer who commanded the raiding party being unable to point ont the proprietor of tae dance house, the negroes were dischat and flocked out of the court room, followed by thelr mot- ley crowd of brethren, and gnashing their teeth at their mexorable captors.
