They are ebarged with encroachments upon the civil power—with attempts to carry ou; the decrees of the Ecumenical Council by overriding the constitution and paying allegiance in the first place to the Pope, and in the second place only to their King or Kaiser, as the case may be. But the Kaiser does not want to play second fiddle to the Pope ; hence the official sebulse to the bishovs. ties | | huudfel of men, NEW YORK The News from the Corea—+w.: the Situa- tion Requires, Tho news from the Corea which we pub- lished yesterday, although nol as late us the official despatch of Admiral Rodgers announc- ing bis defeat of the Coreans, is vory interest- ing. It is evident that the Admiral, before making his grand attack, in which so many forts and guns were captured, and in which so many Coreans and so few Americans were killed and wounded, had a few otber affairs of minor importance. After the arrival of the fleet at its destination parties were employed in surveying; then a peacefal mission came from the Coreans, the members of which asked where the flect was from, its business, and then hoped our mea were all well. ‘This looked very encouraging for a commencement, and gave promise of a pleasant termination to the little d'ficulty that Admiral Rodgers and Minister Low were diracted to settle. While the members of the mission were on board the flagship Colorado, and while being shown the buge proportions and powerful armament of an American frigate, they were at the same time ioformed that our mission was also one of peace, and that no force would be used unless first attacked. A short time afierwards a reconnoissance in force was made, and then peace gave way to war. Our vessels and boats were fired upon, tius proving that the Coreans were determined to resist any advance on our part, and to prevent, if possible, any encroachments upon a soil they bold sacred by outside barbarians, Doubtless this fight, and the failure on the part of the Corean authorities to apologize therefor, was the cause of the more important and sanzuinary affair detailed in the official despatch of the Admiral commanding, We may well ask, now that a crisis has been reached, and hostilities have been fairly in- angurated betweon the Untted Siates and Corea, what is to bo the result? “What benefit will acerue to us by pressing the matter further? We bad a wrong to redress; punishment had to be meted oui to those responsible forthe murder of the crew of the American schooner General Sherman; and this bas been done. The power of the United States has been shown, its ability to chastise fully exhibited, and the probabilities are that the Coreans have received « lesson which they will profit by sufficiently to insure, for some time, at least, protection to those Americans who may be unfortunate enough to be cast away upon its inhospitable shores. This having been done, the first and reuily the principal object of the visit of the fleet to ihe Coréa has been fully accomplished, and we shoald be satisfied, The Admiral and Minister may, however, thiuk otherwise, The former may wish to add to his naval renown; the | lutter to do something for his diplomatic reputation, ence we may coxtiaue to Lear of more badly constructed forts being reduced, more eighteen-pounders captured, and a considerable addition made to the buateher’s Dill—i. ¢., the list of killed and wounded. It is plain that no more can be accomplished. Our squadron contains but a We cannot force our way into the interior, but must be content to bom- bard a few sea coast poin's and killa few thousaud Coreans; and by doing so we only | inflict an injury that can be made good ina | few days, for the Coroans, | have ample resources within themselves, and | like tho Chinese, buman Forty millions | place comparatively no value upon | life, Experience has proved that treaties made with such governments as that of tie Corea are hardly worth the paper they are written upon. They will remain trae to their agree- ment so long as an armed force is present to enforce it, and ao longer. We see what China has been, and coniinues to be, even with all the severe and expensive lessons it has received, and surely we have no right or reason to expect more of Corea and the Coreans. If they should suecumb to the show of force we now have tbere, if the shot and shell argument of Admiral Rodgers should have sufficient effect to induce them to come to terms and agree to all our demands, would they consider the treaty binding thirty days after the fleet had tiken its departare? We think ir stands now it may be that in order to ¢ avoll a second visit they would, from *, protect those who are thrown upon their shores by ent. Bat if they are driven to the wall, as it were, and are compelled to sign at the point of the bayonet mont distasteful to them, we may the v object we have aimed do which bas already cost some sud some valuable lives, We trust a y taken by our government, and that instractions will be seat to onr fer and the commander our naval 8 not to pursue the matter further than re is absolute necessity for, and not to fire another shot unless it is very plain that we shall profit thereby. A continuation of hos- ¢ with the Coreans we do not think politic. We have nothing to gain by it, and may lose in the end all we have thus accomptished, ot far The truth is, we cannot afford to carry ona war asitshould be carried on so far away from home, and especially on so slight a pre- text. What retura could we expect to receive for the immense outlay necessary to equip and maiptain a force adequate to make any serious impression apon a country like that of Corea? Nothing, absolutely nothing. If, however, it was deemed a prudent move for all the great Powers to unite and compel the Coreans to make a treaty that a constant show of force would insure being respected, then the | affair assumes a different aspect; then we should expect the Uniled States to do its share, and then we might hope for resulis beneficial to the whole world; but for usalone to attempt to bring the Coreans to | submission is simply absurd and ridiculous, not worthy a second thought. Admiral Rodgers, in some things has deserved to be thought prudent and sagacions, may do better than we think for in closing a war which he has, according to his own despatch, so vigor- ously opened. He may be far-sighted enough to see that to continue it longer with the force at his command would be unwise, Le may discover that he might, before it is over, lose some of the prestige he has gained, unless the goverament has determined to largely reinforce him and compel the Coresns to make the desired treaty, Tho latter we consider hardly possible; if it were it would be who HERALD, known before this. Fuytver information from the scene of hostilities is anxiously looked for. Woe are desirous of knowing what impression has been made upon those who rule the Corea. We wish to learn if the loss of five of their forts and a few hundred of their men has created a panic among the Coreans, They may be, for all we know, suing for peace. They may be granting all we ask, and more too. Our fleet may, with their permission, be going where and doing what it pleases, Rear Admiral Rodgers and Minister Low may bave accomplished wonders, but until we know that such Is the case we have our doubts and in- cline to the opinion that while we have ex- pended money, used up some shot and shell and lost a few men, we have as yet done nothing more than avenged the marder of those on board the schooner General Sherman, and there we should stop. Tas Gaflnsy Suicide. The suicide of Edward J. 3. Gaffacy, of the Ninth regiment, is surrounded by cireum- stances so peculiar, and, in their way, so heartrending, that we cannot dismiss the sub- ject without a word of comment, It shows a mind so peculiarly seasitive and a determina- tion of madness so excoptional that its lesson cannot fail to bo headed. "roe from every- thing like drunken bravado, and apparently unpreneditated, it cams with a suddenness that brought sorrow to his young wife, and yet wiped not out the dishonor he thought he had sustained by his absence from his regiment on the day of tho riots, It is in every wey a terrible, a sorrowful ep'sodo, in the fearful episode of Wednesday; bat it teaches that it is always better for men and women to look anger bravely in the faco and go where duty culls, The Ninth regimant saters the loss of & genial and esteemed comrade from over- wrought fears on the on2 hand and over- wrought remorse on the other. Bat it also illustrates the proneness to suicide, which is becoming so common in this country throush the disjointed thinking of the aze and the want of a simple faith in the teachiags of Christianity, It is a subject for wise counsel from pricsts and pastors rather taan eloqueatl sermonizing, and we hopo the lessoa_ wiil not be overlooked by those best able Paiaverema clains honor of being the birthplaco of the new Baliimors sensation, Mrs. Wharton, concern- ing whom the excnse of insanity is already being interposed. Ii seems that while in latier days she has been in the habit of dis- posing of people in “ways that are m terious,” in the earlier period of her 1 being the petted daughter of a rich Philadelphia importer, she was very gay and frolicsome, having, on one ocexsios, issued invitations to a large namber of fashionable friends and acquaintances to attend her nuptials with a gentleman who was uiterly ignorant of any engagement he had ever made with the hewitebing beanty. This was regarded atthe timo as evidence of insanity, and her father determined io put her ia a mad- house. She got wind, however, of the inten- tion and suddenly disappeared, to reappear as the wife of Lientenant Harry W. Wharton, United States Army, whose nysterious death occurred some tims since, followed by the deaths of others, including General Ketchum, whose case is now the subject of investigation in Baltimore. In view of her early ‘“‘eccen- tricities” we suppose there will be no trouble in putting in a plea of insanity in this case, most influential and fashionable circles in Baltimore to back her. Pursce GoRTCHAKOFF AND THE AMERI- OAN EyANGELIcAL = ALLIANGE.—We have already remarked at some length on the delegation fromi the American branch of the Evangelical Alliance, which is now on a benevolent and Christian mission to the Czar of all the Russias, We are gratified to the deputation—a d>putation consisting of some of the best men in the United States— and who presented their address to his august master, has formally expressed to them the sympathy of the Czar with the object of their prayersa—viz., the advancement of religions liberty ia Russia.

The suggestion is unquestionably wise which was embodied in the resolution offered by Commissioner Barr, and adopted at the meet- ing of the Police Board, yesterday morning. The resolution was offered as a substitute for resolutions previously offered by Commission- er Manierre, and provides that the President appoint a special committee of two, to obtain legal opinions, and to make report upon the best method of dealing with street processions (other than those of the National Guard, or in attendance on funerals), so as to best secure the public peace and the right of the general public to an uninterrupted nse of the leading thoroughfares, and that the resolutions offered by Commissioner Manlerre be referred to such committee, The suggestion is wise, because, iv tbe first place, it implicitly recognizes the actual dis- tinction between the privilege, which the mu- nicipal authorities may legally grant or with- hold, of moving in a procession through the thoroughfares of the city, and the sacred right of meeting guaranteed io American citizens by the constitution, It was this sacred right which our citizen soldiery and our brave and well disciplined police pevilled their lives to defead last Wednesday, winning thus tho sym- pathy and applause of the nation, It is not uninteresting to recall, in this counection, the historical fact that the French Revolution of 1848 was precipitated by the application of an obsolete law to the suppres- sion of the Reform banquets—a law which had recently been revived in order to interfere with the right of meeting claimed by a few Bap- tists in the department of I’Aisne, At the instigati ion of their persecutora, among whom the most prominent was the Bishop of Soissons, their ersistengo it in exercising a right guarat- teed to them in common with all Frenchmen by the charter, was visited by ‘trials, fines and imprisonment. M, dillon Byarrot, after- wards leader of the Reform banquets, who had always been distinguished by his zeal for igious freedom, cordially accepted an invita- tion to become the lezal adviser of the Baptisis. Oa one occasion, at a trial where his engage- ments prevented him from being present as their advocate, his place was well supplied by M. Henri Lutteroth, who, although no! agree- was deeply interested in the principle at stake and in the constancy with which these humble Christians had suffered to maintain it. The case was decided against them by the higher courts to which it was successively carried. It was still ponding when the Revolution broke forth, the immediate consequence of a strug- gle for the same principle involved in their case, a siruggle provoked by the same law which had been levelled against them. Thus the heroic resistance of a few obscure Bap- tists io an odious law was among the proxi- mate causes of hastening an event which other causes had already rendered inevitable. A revolution, both political and religious, deeper and more widely spread than can be conceived of by mere politicians, may have been prevented by the fidelity of Governor Hoffman to the reoted attachment of Ameri- cans to one of the most precious of their con- stitutional rights—the right of meeting. But this right, it must be admitted, consecrated atresh as it was last week, is quite distinct from the privilege of passing through the streets in procession. The suggestion in Commissioner Barr's reso- lution is wise, because, in the second place, it can hardly fail to lead to the adoption of such regulations for street processions as shall henceforth prevent the serious interruption of traffic, and the still more serious peril to life and property occasioned by processions liable to provoke hatred among classes and disturb the public peace. It is undeniable that every such procession must be regarded by all—in- dependently of religious creed or political par- tisapship—as a public nuisance, The abate- ment of so grievous a nuisance cannot inju- riously affect the right of meeting, and impar- tially accomplished it is consummation de- voutly to be desired by all good citizens, A PerroreuM Expiosion 1x Reems. — Another dreadful calamity bas occurred in France, This time it was the good old his- toric city of Rheims which suffered, and not ill-fated Paris. Two days ago the telegraph apnounced the destruction of the powder manufactory of the St. Maur works of Vin- cennes, in which a number of unfortunate work people were either killed or maimed. Now we hear of the explosion of a quantily of petroleum in the staid city of Rheims. Fifty persons, we are told, were either killed or wounded by this explosion, and a number of buildings in the busine-# portion of the city have been burned down, Let us hope, as was the case with the first information abont the St. Maur explosion, that the loss of life and injury to person are exaggerated, and that later Tne Waerzine (West Va.) Register says the “promptitude with which the New York riot was quelled last Wednesday goes far to show that the city is not so wholly corrupt or so hopelessly besotted as radical writers love to claim.” Satan is said to be not half so black as he is painted. So with New York city; for although Satan takes a pretty good run here occasionally he is suddenly brought up with a round turn, as he was on Wednesday last. No city in the world hus a better organ- ized police force, nor one composed of braver and more efficient men than the cily of New York. A Proper Disokimixarioy,~At a public meetingheld in Indianapolis the other even- ing on the subject of the New York riot, strong resolutions were adopted in behalf of the right of citizens peaceably to assemble to- gether on all lawful occasions, while a reso~ Intion charging the Catholic Church with the responsibility of the bloodshed was voted down—a vote which was eminently just and proper, inasmuch as had the instructions and warnings of the Catholic Church been heeded there would have been no riot and no blood- shed. Tux Purtapeirnia Age states that Senator Cameron has pronounced sentence of out- lawry upon all the friends of Curtin in Penn- sylvania, This being the case it is probable that the curtain will be dropped upon many aspiring radicals there, and the St. Petersburg mission be in the market in a very short ‘ime, SUPPLEMENT. The Cholera in Poland. The Asiatic cholera has mado its appear- ance in Poland. This news has been officially announced by the Russian authorities. Dis- tantly removed as Poland is from this country there is yet something in the announcement of the appearance of this terrible scourge in far- off Poland which calls up unpleasant memo- ries. If we mistake not, it was in 1817 the plague broke out fiercely in the Indles, and after decimating towns and carrying off large numbers of the people of the East it slowly continued its march toward the European frontier, and in 1829, or thereabouts, it broke out in Southern Russia, pretty much in the same manner in which it now appears in Po- land. In 1830 it raged flereely in the city of Moscow, and in the following year nearly the whole of Central Europe was under its evil influence. A year later, in 852, it made its appearance on this side of the Atlantic. Quebec was the first city in which it appeared, then Montreal and after- wards New York, after which the disease spread in varions directions, We make refer- ence to these facts only that they may serve to point out to the health authorities the neces- sity of watchfulness at all times and during all seasons. The same vigilance which was exercised with epidemics raging almost at our very doors will protect us, so far as buman precautions can do so, against those terrible visitations from which the populations of the South American cities too frequently suffer. Clean streets and strict quarantine regulations are admirable preventives against diseases such as now afflict Poland and which has so recently robbed Buenos Ayres of thousands of its in- habitants, Tae Loxvos Pour, AND Avorn Ifypa Par. Mon.—A large meeting was held or at- tempted to be held in Hyde Park, London, on Sunday last. The object of the meeting, it is said, was to promote emigration from the United Kingdom. London, ;howeyer, had just heard how narrowly New York had escaped the fale of Paris; and the police, discovering no doubt some of the tricks of the International, very properly dispersed the mob, We never can go back on popular rights, but we must stand by law and order; and if the popular reformers cannot work out their schemes by legitimate means reform must suffer in the house and at the hands of its friends. Come what may of our modern civilization, the mob at least must not rule, TypIAN CoMMISSIONER Parker has resigned, because, as he says, he has nothing to do, The duties of his bureau have been narrowed down tothe mere mechanical duties of the clerks of the Board of Indian Commissioners. The fact is that the Indian Bureau ought to be merged with the War Department, and Mr. Parker, doubtless, is perfectly correct in his statement that he had no higher duties than those of a clerk. But the idea that any office- holder should resign because he had not enough work to do is an innovation on the office-hold- ing ethics of this government that would serve as an excellent point of departure for the Civil Service Commission. Mins Sven B. Anrnoxy and one of her familiars attempted in a public assemblage in San Francisco to justify the assassination of Judge Crittenden by Mrs. Fair, but were com- pelled to desist. These kind-hearted old women had better be at home darning their stockings than ‘‘darning” the lawful authorities in California. At any rate, there are the cases of those alleged Lucretia Borgians—Mrs. Shermaa in Connecticut and Mrs. Wharton in Baltimore. Why, then, go away out to California when such splendid material is be found at hand here upon which to exercise their peculiar theories about wo- men’s rights? Hor Wearaer 1 IN Cotorapo.—At Denver on Saturday last, at wo P, M., the thermometer is reported as marking 110 in the shade, and at five P. M. 105, This is equal to the heat of the jungles of Bengal or Equatorial Africa, while Denver is near the latitude of Philadel- phia ard four or five thousand feet above the sea, We can, then, only account for this ex- treme heat at Denver by charging it to a sort of simoon blowing over the burning plains all the way from Mexico along the flank of the Rocky Monntains, Crors Taumr: 4.—The gallant. services of the police force on Wednesday last have been acknowledged in « practical manner, bya resolution of the Commissioners granting each man a leave of absence of three days. We understand also that the Commissioners were 80 pleased with the conduct of the men on that day that on their first meeting after the riot they called for the penalties book, and ex- punged all fines and punishments, granting a general amnesty for the peccadilloes which policemen, not being infallible, like the Pope, will fall into like other people, Lovis Brano's Ortxton oF tHE Com- MUNISTS.—Taunted by his opponents with being a sympathizer with the Commune, Louis Blanc desires to set himself right on the record, and thus expresses himself on the subject:—‘‘The Commanists were the most infamous scoundrels ever vomited upon the earth from the basement story of hell.” New York editors who have been indulging in such rosewater expressions as ‘‘You lie, you vil- lain!” will discover by this that Louis can ‘‘go one better,” Tar GerMaN Soxorers’ Weccome Home.— Berlin has had her triumph, So has Han- over, So has Saxony.

Meantime, it is evident that in the discussion of these conundrums there will be some lively work among the politicians, and a new departure, perhaps, by some of our political cliques and factions, Personal Intelligs12>.

Here are beautiful types and clegant cream-tinted paper thrown away upon a prolaciion which it would be a mild characterization to term both empty and silly. The preface informs us that the “young lady of Virginia’? was a relative of the Lee family, and the “journai’’ ts nothing more nor less than a jotting of minute wifes about her visits aad her dress and her wa!ks and her rlles about the country.
