and platform that will not be anti-democratic, ‘The terms of the coalition must be easy, loose ‘and flexible to secure all the incongruous elements concerned; but if Jeff Davis and Alexander H. Stephens, lately President and ‘Vice President of the “so-called Confederate States,” are ready to fuse with any party om the simple platform of hostility to Grant, .« surely there ought to be no difficulty to the anti-Grant republicans in preparing the way for a fusion with Mr. Belmont and the flexible democratic party. As Mr. Greeley, however, in thus becoming the democratic candidate, would himself furnish all the ammunition required fby the Grant republicans against Greeley, his momination suggests a very serious difficulty ; oe extraordinary conditions"of the canvass, fact, as would make it ridiculous on the democratic side, And so we are brought foack to the conclusion that in the face of Mr. jGreeley’s opposition to any other liberal oalition candidate he will not secure the Cin- scinnati nomination. Protection to Our Seaports. The deplorable condition of our navy has. wuddenly been brought before the people, and anxious fears are expressed on all sides for the afety of our seaport cities in case we are compelled to maintain our dignity and defend ur Tights as a nation, What we are to do to oh our property 18 the subject often dis- peussed by our solid men, our merchants, and pur ship-owaers, The subject is a grave one, wequiring quick and intelligent .action, and on pour legislators assembled at Washington the sibility now rests. They alone can Trovide whether we shall build up a navy and defend our harbors, or quietly and passively jallow any aggressor who may be our enemy to jome into our ports, lay our cities under con- ‘Moution and confiscate or destroy our pro. perty. The present Secretary of the Navy has ad- paltted, in his annual report, that the navy is ot in a condition to oppose anything; that @ iron-clads are not seaworthy and that the few wooden vessels are only a_ little etter off. Instead of demanding of Con- as a man who knows that e is only asking what the nation uires ought to have done, a sum sufficient put our naval establishment upon a decent ting compared with that of third rate ers, he permitted the appropriation to be ut down nearly a million of dollars, and jinted to the Committee on Appropriations a next year ho might be able to reduce it more. Such will invariably bo the result here politicians are placed at the head of aval officers; therefore we shall address our- Ives directly to the representatives of the ple. We call upon them to provide the eames first to) fortify our harbors. That can e done in a few months. We call upon them ext to provide means for building up a navy, uch as would at least be able to “‘protect nsports on their passage from Key West to juba” with troops, That would be a navy qual to that portion of the Spanish navy now in the Gulf, which amounts to some fifty ships ith fifteen thousand men. This would do to tart upon; and then, after the English officer Pow on an inspecting tour of our itl mavy yards and defences, thinks Whe iron-clad fleet of England needs increasing, we might also add some vessels to our navy— fenough for coast protection at least. Itis Mot the policy of our government to havea avy as large as that of England, France, ussia or Prussia; but it is the policy of this oe tees to have a navy large enouzh for jome defence in time of war. And that is pil our solid men, our merchants and our \phip-owners ask for now. In time of peace pixty well-built ships can protect our com- ymerce abroad. These will require fifteen thousand seamen, and that should be the standard of the navy. It is only about pne-fourth that of England. Politics should be excluded entirely from our navy yards ; Yor it is well known that at the present time killed labor is of a secondary consideration in navy yards. The first question is not “Can you build ships?” but how ‘‘How many wotes can you control?” This is all wrong, gaod equivalent to stealing so much money From the pockets of the people. The present Secretary of the Navy is in favor of legislating out of existence three grades of the higher officers of the navy, As he took very little part in the late war he ome does not know the necessity of hav- ing officers in command of our fleets equalin ; ank to those of other nations; but Congress crete it, and will not permit such views to ‘have any weight. What we urge now is pro- ‘fection to our harbors and new ships of | Amproved models for our navy. The persone mel is not wanting.

The Jesuit Fathers and the Holy See. The fact vommunicated in our news telegram from Rome of the departure of the Father General Of the Jesuits, attended by three members of the Society of sesus, from the Holy City, on a foreign mission specially entrustad to them by the Pope, goes far to prove the falsity of the reports which have been current just lately to the emfect that the Holy Father and the Head of the Jesuit Company were at variance on essential points of Church discipline, even of Christian beilef. The Father Generai of the Jesuits is a German. Pius the Ninth has himself demonstrated the unity of the Church with respect to the obedience of the addressed to Cardina Patrizi, Dean of the College of the Pope explains the nature of his connection with the Jesuits, His Holiness say: he regular orders have been especialy persecuted by all enemies to the Church, and foremost among the objects of this hatred 18 the Com- pany of Jesus, being considered py them as the Most active, and, consequently, most opposed to Uhelr views.
