For the moment we seem to be entering a rather more promising phase of the great Alabama agita- Mon, Perhaps it 1s only a natural reaction from the very excited state of public opinion that Das prevailed for many days, and which has gone to the length of a financial panic, has spread in the great co.nmercial centres oj the kingdom an alarm that operates in favor of she sentiments for a change of government, and has even insome churcnes led parsons to play fora preservation of peace. It may be only a reaction from that exaggerated uneasiness in virtue of which wnere is now a general sense Of returning tranquil- Uty, and that programmes are sketched which are Mought efficient to accommoaate all differences, A DANGER AND AN EVIL, ‘There can be no doabt that any misunderstanding between the two countries, any continued trouble that, standing open, will present a constant possi- NEW YORK HERALD, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 26, {872—TRIPLE SHEET, ernment wo embark.

Another consideration—and it appears to be a serious one—is that wheu the government does | Subscribe the public money it ts uot altogether right | in losing control over that money, and if a case can be made out fer the government giving a subscrip- tion, a still better case might be made out for the government undertaking the encerprise itself, Further, 1t 1s quite a@ faise analogy to treat the wov- ernment as we do a Wealthy incividual, and to say that the same reason whic makes tt right jor a rich man to subscribe towarts a particu'ar object would make itright for the Chancellor of the bxchequer to do the same. The difierence between the two eases 18 periectly manifest, because the private in- dividual holds his money for his own benefit and cando what he likes with it, whereas the govern- ment holds the pubiic money asa trustee. More- | over, the money with which the government is en- | trusted is contributed, not by the rica only, but by poor and rich alike, sir J. ELPHINsToNe—I would remind the right honorable gentleman that Dr. Livingstone is tne Consul General of her Majesty, ‘Cries of “Urder,*’) Mr. GRIBVE asked whether it was correct, as re- ported in the newspapers, that two naval officers who had voiunteered to join the expedition in search of Dr. Livingstone haa been put on half ay? Mr. GOSCHEN sald the question appeared to rest on ® misconception, as if the Adiniralty had by | Some svecial act put those two ofticers oa half pay. | Whereas that was not the fact. One of those oMcers | bad been on hail pay. It was not the practice of the Admiralty to put officers on full pay except when they were on active service, and, with every de- sire to promote the objects of that expedition, it | would be entirely contrary to precedent to treat Oliicers engaged Ina private expedition as belug | employed on active naval service, Archbishop Mannaiog on Education. i} On Sunday, the 11th inst, an important “pastoral ‘ letter,” from Archbishop Manning, mainly upon the Subject of education, was read at high mass in the Roman Catholic churches and chapels of London. | Alluding to the fact that religious tests have been swept away at the older universities, ne declared | his opinion that “recent changes in the statute law may be sald to have eflaced Christianity from , the higher culture of our youth,” which | from this time, consequently, “nas ceased ‘to be Christian,” and that “henceforth the ; religious formation of our youth must be the work | of individuals.” It appeared to him that it is the Pohticaljcreed of the times—firstly, ‘that the Church ought to ve separated Irom the Stave;” secondly, “that the scnool ought to be separated from the | Church,” and, thirdly, ‘‘that the education of the | peopie belongs to the civil power,” and he reminded ; the fatthtul that each of “these three axioms of | now, under the command | Bony Gt agitation, i melts Ganget sid sa evil | modern civilization without Christianity bas been earnestly to be avoided.

Bumnos Ayges, Jan. 18, 1872, The horrid massacre at Tanai is 10 every one’s mouth, Aman, named Solarés, born in Bolivia or | Chile, forty years of age, of a pale copper color, and | with a pleasing face, had settled near Tandul, @ vil- | lage in the Argentine Confederation, in a hut with two rooms, and had given out that he was & m2s- senger of God. Previously ne had resided in the | province of Entre Rios, giving out that he could ! aivine the future—toretelling deaths and, it 13 said, taking measures to give certainty to his prophecies, | Finally he was driven away by the authorities, after tying him up and giving him a flogging. WANDERINGS OF THE PROPHET. He then went to kosario, and thence to Azul, where he practised bis profession, asserting that he could cure the blind merely with bis touch. There, however, he was arrested by tne Justice of the Peace, on account of the disturbances he was pro- moting, but was released, Still his reputation re- mained to him, and he soon received a call to go to | the estancla of Seflor Ramoa Gomez, situated four- teen miles from the village of Tandil, to cure the sterility of the wife. DOMICILED WITH 4 WEALTHY BELIEVER, Ramon Gomez was a cousin of the Justice of the | Peace for Tandil, and was himself an official, Seeing him lodged with this oMficlal the gauchos began to yield implicit faith in his pretensions to be the Saviour of mankind and the envoy of God. Soon his fame spread through the couatry, and the half-savage Inhabitants made 1¢ a kind of pi/grim- age to go to visit Solar¢s, who received them in the hut whicn his protecior had assigned to him, Some- umes upwards of five hundred persons were there at once, having come on horseback and in wagons im search of the good services of the prophet, BSTABLISHED IN A HOME, In one room he lived, in the other was a number of images, and in the latter he received his visi- tants, Money he refused for himself, but he always advised them to make offerings to the gaints and and the Blessed Virgin im his reception room. THE “MAN GOD’ A RECOGNIZED INSTITUTION. The fame of the Tata Dios, or Man-God, grew mightily. The people kneeled before him and kissea his nands, worshipping him as though God himself, Mstening with reverence to his occasional preach- ings against foreigners, woon, he said, were Masons and enemies of the Holy Catuolic Church.
