“the Papal system is not essentially monarcht- cal and,absolute, for the Pope does not make the law; he only guards, preserves, teaches and declares the law of God, the Supreme Lawgiver.” The Freeman's Journal—Catholic—gives utterance to rather a novel idea in regard to the democratic nomination for the Presidency in 1872. After declaring that. the new de- parture was “intended not to heal breaches, but to reopen them,” and after overthrowing and refuting the claims of Chief Justice Chase for the nomination, the Journal says:— The wise course for the democratic party in 1872 will be to drop every Man involved ia political life, and to find—where the higher order of executive ability in our day and country 1s to be found—in some of the vast works of divil industry some man ‘who, dunng tying crises, such as that of 1857; and again during the civil war, has known how to hold, and govern and attach to him tens of thousands of men and to manage economically many millions of capital entrusted to nis care, We think there must be some such man, He will be the most likely to restore order to our prostrated industries. We may as well prepare for the millennium when such a state. of-things is reached. In the meantime, let all our religious brethren keep themselves quiet and comfortable these beautiful autumnal days, so that when the winter of their discontent cometh upon them they shall be found strong enough in the flesh and in the spirit to resist whatever tempestuous blasts may assail them. The End of the Summer Cursival in the Couuatry—The Returaoing Tide to Towa. The Ist of September, as by a law of the Medes and Persians, is pretty much through- out the United States accepted as the end of the summer carnival in the country, and the beginning of the fall season of business, fashion and amusements in town. And so, notwithstanding the bright skies which have ushered in this present September, and the promise which they give of a term of many days of pleasant summer weather, with the 1st of the month began a general retreat of the gay world from the seaside, the mountains and the springs back to business in town. We have had a remarkable sumtner"— remarkable for its ‘prevailing cold, cloudy and. tempestuous skies, From the tropical tem- perature of May we were apprehensive of the hottest summer in the memory of the oldest pensioner of the War of 1812; but June held back its “shower of shadowing roses,” and July with us here (if the Hon. W. H. Seward’s testimony of Walrussia may be accepted, and we think it good), was little ‘better than an average July in Alaska, where, *‘while the American eagle soars aloft in all his newborn glory, the humming bird does‘ not disdain to flutter.” But still, as the number of days of snow, hail or rain, and of rain, hail and snow ina year in Alaska is about two hun- dred and ninety-seven, we dare say that our last July in New--York was a little drier, though not much, than the same month in Sitka. And yet the amphibious poet who ings, Oh! carly me to Alaska, Where it rains or snows always, hhas had no reason to complain of drought at Long Brauch since the Ist of July last. But itis over now. From those two great re- servoirs of the Atlantic equatorial current of warm water—the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico—those nurseries of earthquakes, sa imundatiang, there cama.uv towards the end of August, into the United States, by way of Florida and the Gulf Stream, a succession of cyclones, which, spreading alf over the country east of the Rocky Mountains, wound up the summer in numerous heavy rains and floods and freshets. And so, literally drowned out at the sea- side, at the springs and in the mountains, the gay world-of fashion—pa, ma and the children—with the clearing skies of the 1st of September, began to pack up and pack off to town, and they have been coming ever since, and The cry 13, “Still they come." Long Branch begins to look lonesome, though the hotels are still! open, and though General Grant still lingers at his “‘cosey cot- tage by the sea,” and may yet linger there for several weeks to come. And we think he will be wise in doing so, for until after the first frost the White House is subject to the ague- breeding malaria from the broad expanse of the sweltering flats of ‘the fresh water Potomac. But, as we have already sug- gested, the summer carnival in the country is ended, and what Pat would call the spring~ tide of the fall season is setting into town. The main idea now is buginess and earnest work to make up for lost time. All the signs; too, of a brisk fall season are good—good crops, a good condition of the national finances and the currency, general confidence in business affairs and a general condition of health, peace and prosperity throughout the country—calling for a devout Thanksgiving day in November. Meantime, however, the dreaded pestilence of the Ganges is marching this way again, and any day now a ship from Hamburg, Bremen or Liverpool may bring i! to these shores. And still New York, which ought to be the cleanlicst and healthiest, remains the filthiest and sicklicst, to the naked eye, of any great city in Christendom, And yet again, political corruption in high places, and vice and crime in their most horrid forms, are ‘‘walking like the pestilence at noonday” in our midst. Here, then, is work enough for our teachers of the Gospel and preachers of political re- form, in all our churches and in all approach= ing political electior Politica! Reform—A New “Patent Combe nation.”* We see little of good or little of evil in the declared purposes of the Council of Political Reform in this city, whose platform we print this morning. Disguise it as its promoters may, it is simply a party movement, under- | taken in the interest of the republicans and against the democracy. No _ legiti- mate complaint ean be made against it on this account; but the trick of organizing a third party to hold the two great pariier responsible for their acts while in power is so full of rollicking fan that nobody can fail to enjoy it. Even the most stupid must see that an ‘or- ganized protectorate” to keep watch and ward over our political system is only a political movement, and that its leaders will prove’ themselves as weak, vacillating and, corrupt as the leaders of any other political movement. But this movement, if it has any signifi- cance at all, is only significant on account of its religions tendencies and purposes. There can be no doubt that this Council of Political, Reform is intended to be a great Protestant counter movement to the Roman Catholic spectre which so many people affect to fear. The pointed references of the circular to the necessity of raising money naturally excites a suspicion that it isa mere catchpenny affair, but the respectability of the names appended to it precludes the accept- ance of any such hypothesis, We must goa little deeper to get at its meaning. The cireu- lar is dated from ‘Plimpton Building.” Where is the “Plimpton Building?” The City Directory enlightens us on this point, as follows: —‘‘James L: Plimpton & Co., pateot combination and other first class furniture, Nos. 9 and 10 Plimpton’s Building, 30 Stuy- veeant street, corner East Ninth street.” This Coungil of Political Reform must as yet be a very small affair, or its funds have not been forthcoming, else it would hardly be obliged to go in with another ‘patent com- bination” in the occupancy of room No, 9. But it seems that this new “patent combina- tion” has views of its own. It considers ‘the official co-operation of all the clergymen of the State” necessary to the purity and progress of our political action. Is this “patent com- bination” of “all the clergymen of the State,” under the lead of Beecher and Bellows, likely to cure the evils of the Commonwealth? -Are our people prepared to put their political in- terests out to nurse with these clergymen ? These are the questions which the declared pur- poses of this movement suggest, and they also suggest their own answers. Let the parsons attend to their flocks and not do evil rather than good by getting up “‘patent com- binations” aimed against a large part of the religious community, If they will do this they will find the Commonwealth will get along pretty well without their assistance, and they may even be astonished to discover that the people can still correct, as they always have corrected, anything like misrale, unaided by the ‘‘official co-operation of all the clergymen of the State.” Personal Intelligence.

His long absence from the metropolitan stage—some five years, during which he his travelled much professionally, from Charing Cross to the antrpodes—and the pleasing memory he left m the minds of the public here, was the means of calling around him last night an enthusiastic au- tence of very large proportions. His Narcisse ts the same finished, impassioned, artistic impersonation as of yore, with perhaps a trifle more of symmetry and perfectness of ensemble, From the scene in whioh he first confounds and abashes the powdered and gold-laced courtiers and epigrammatic encyclo- pedists by bis scathing irony and ready wit until the dread finale, when he discovers lis long lost Janet in the person of the accursed Pompadour, the scourge of France, Mr. Bandman enchained the inter- est of the audience by that magnetic power which 1s the chief attribute of talent.

When it was announced that the Grand Jury, empaneticd for the August term of the County Court and Court of Sessions in and for Westchester county intended to visit Sing Sing Prison for the purpose of investigating the causes which led to the recent escapes and the charges of gross misman- agement against some of the principal officials, & feeling of relief was experienced by the public, who had already begun to hope that we apparently chronic defects complained of were about to be remedied. This hope, ti is safe to assert, will not be realized, and fur the present the taxpayers of the Empire State may attune their auricular senses to the hearmg of, perhaps, still more ASTOUNDING DISCLOSURES: regarding the important penal institution name@ than those waich have lately engrossed tue attea- tion of the community.
