The Freeman's Journal (Catholic) is quite excited over the prospect of Greeley’s nomi- nation at Baltimore. For itself it declares: — Our road is straight before us. The nomination ofGreciey at Baltiiuore by a packed and non-de- tive body will be the formal dissolution of the cratic party. With its dissolution there per- ishes the last paity that ever proiessed fidelity to Jaw, to constitutions or to treaty faith given. There remains for us, then, only mobs. Radical Grantites and radical Greeleyites! Reduced to thi bayonets are our only protection. Grant has, at jeast, the education and bearing of a soldier. Gree- dey knows only the discipline of the broomstick. The Greeley men probably think that “new brooms sweep elean.”’ Hence their partiality for the white coat philosopher. The Jewish Times states that the interest evinced in behalf of the persecuted Roumanian Jews by the governments of Washington, Ber- lin and London has not been without effect; the expressions so condemnatory of the bar- arian acts, proclaimed throughout the world, “sounded in the ears of the Wallachian boors like the voice of Nemesis, which sooner or later will exact severe retribution. The Catholic Union refers to the ‘Atheism of the New York daily journals,’ and insinuates ‘that their religion is governed entirely accord- dng to the ‘‘law and the profits.”” Qn our regular religious ' page will be found some interesting articles on current topics, ‘besides a copious compendium of the changes and movements among ministers. The Expulsion of the Germany. Bismarck has played his game against the Jesuits and won, though not without a fight in the Reichstag. Ever since the ‘blood and iron’’ Chancellor was thwarted in his scheme of having Cardinal Hohenléhe as the repre- sentative of Germany at the Vatican, he re- solved to be even with the Jesuits, whom he Tegards as the real cause of his favorite’s re- jection. At first he found it no easy matter to carry his point. The Emperor did not wholly agree with the newly created Prince in his crusade against the members of the Society of Jesus. His Majesty hesitated to enter even where the Chancellor would boldly dash in. Bismarck’s daring has ceased to be a matter of surprise. In war, in politics, or religion, it matters little, for he plays his part boldly and undisguisedly and ever with that determina- tion which distinguishes his whole public career. It is questionable, however, if he would have been able to reach success in this late measure had ho not been backed by the Emperor, and it is more than probable that the Emperor would not have sanctioned Bismarck's arbitrary course towards the Jesuits but for the collision between the Roman Catholic Chaplain General of the Army, Bishop Naues- yanowski, and War Minister Von Roon, about the Panthaleon church in Cologne. This was so manifestly a breach of military discipline to tho old Kaiser's mind that he not only allowed Bismarck to have full sway, but even favored the arbitrary measures resolved upon against the Jesuits. The bill against the followers of Loyola, as originally prepared by the Federal Council, was referred back for amendment, owing to the opposition of Prussia in that body, and in'its amended shape was introduced into the Reichstag, where it passed after a fierce fight. The debate on the question was most intense, and the unmistakable language used on the occasion shows how keenly the different parties in the empire feel on the subject. Deputies Malinckrode and Windherst fought the ultramontane cause in the House and denounced those who advocated the bill as the instruments of Bismarck, who, they claimed, wanted war, and h2 should have ‘war to the knife.” Among those who strenuously upheld the measure was Deputy Wagner, Bismarck’s friend. Notwithstanding the determined fight made by the Catholic members the bill passed, and the Jesuits are placed under the surveillance of the police. In another part of to-day’s paper we publish the ‘sub- stance of the debate as forwarded to us by the Berlin correspondent of the Hznanp. Bismarck in this fight has worsted his opponents; but it is not at all improbable, now that he has fairly outlawed the Jesuits, that they may become ‘worse, more implacable and more energetic workers against his schemes than ever. The extraordinary vitality of the Society of Jesus finds a parallel only in the history of the Jews. Like the Israelites, the Jesuits, too, have been Alriven from almost every European country; but what does it avail in the long run? For a time the crusade is upheld, then a relaxation succeeds and the persecuted ones regain their former positions and work with greater zeal, Having outlawed the Jesuits, Bismarck an go no further. Where his battle ends theirs begins afresh, if they desire to continue the warfare. How it will terminate time alone Jesuits from will reveal, and we doubt very much that the religious difficulties in Germany will end with WAR DEPARTMENT, ) Orrrok OF THE CHIEF SIGNAL OFFICER, WasHinoTon, D.

TELEGRAMS TO THE NEW YORK HERALO. The following special despatch to the Heratp has been received from our corre- spondent in the Spanish Capital : Mapp, July 6, 1872. The delay which has taken place in the ful- filment of the act of Dr. Houard’s release from prison by the Spanish government is occasion- ed by the fact that Senor Martos requires, on the part of the King’s Cabinet, that the United States Minister, in Ma- drid shall -ask that Houard may be pardoned by His Majesty Amadeus. The American Minister refuses to do this, because the position he has assumed and maintains is that Dr. Houard is not guilty of crime, and is unjustly held in detention by the Spaniards. Sharp official notes have been exchanged be- tween the Spanish Foreign Office and the American Legation, and Ministerial telegrams have been received from Washington on the subject. Dr. Houard’s Case as Officially Stated by Sceretary Fish, The following is the despatch written by the Secre- tary of State, Mr. Fish, to the Vice President of the United States, in reply to a communication asking for oMicial information in the case of Dr. Houard: DEPARTMENT OF STATE, WASHINGTON, March 12, 1872. Sin—I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of the paper referred to by you, under date of the 10th instant, to the department, and to thank you for promptly putting me in possession of the intor- mation which it contains. ‘chere is a mass of pa- pers on file in this department relating to the case of Dr. John Emeie Howard, all of which papers ha been most carefully examined and have been made the subject of ANXIOUS CONSIDERATION BY THE PRESIDENT and his advisers. Should you desire to see these papers I should be happy to submit them to your examination, The facts in the case may be briefly stated as follows:—There is no doubt that John Emile Houard (not Howard), was born in the United States. Tis father, Louis Houard, was a French subject by birth and 4 citizen of the United States by naturalization. Join Emile Houard went to Cuba at avery early age, in company with his father, who became a resident of that island. The young Houard was sent to Philadelphia to be edu- cated, but returned to Cuba, and he has actually RESIDED IN CUBA THE GREATER PART OF HIS LIFE, ractising his profession as a physician and surgeon. fie or his father enjoyed what were supposed to be certain privileges, to which was attached the right to become Spanish subjects, but Dr, Houard de- clares that he never formally accepted such na- tionality and never renounced his nationality as a citizen of the United States. Two married sisters of Dr. Houard,* with their families, have always been residents of Cuba, and three ot his nephews were oftigers of the Peat CO Bae Lag army. It car scarcely be denied that these circum- stances in some pare justify the Spanish authori- ties in regarding Dr. Houard as subject to their jurisdiction, since, on the other hand, nothing ‘whatever is brought forward in his behalf to illus- trate or prove his assertion at any time of Ameri- ‘ean citizenship. For instance, it does not appear that he interested himself as did so many citizens at home and abroad on behalf of the Union cause during our own war; that he offered his serv as surgeon in ouygrolunteer army; that he subscribed to any of the war charities, or that he paid at any time income tax or other tax to the United States, or ever did any particular thing tending to show the Spanish authorities that he etd not consider himself a Spanish subject, or to show this govern- ment that he did regard himself a citizen of the United States UNTIL HIS RECENT MISFORTUNE OCCURRED. But these considerations, of course, are not conctu- sive; but the real question is whether Dr. Houard has actually given just cause of offence to the Spanish authorities, and here, unfortunately, the evidence is conficting, or, to speak more exactly, this department has not been supplied with any conclusive evidence to be urged on behalf. The unfortunate circumstance that a MEDICINE CHEST FORMERLY BELONGING TO HTM and marked, it {s believed, with his name, was found ina camp captured from the insurgents, is mentioned in the paper snbmitted by you. From other evidence it appears that this was not the only instance, but that another medicine chest, also marked with his name, and admitted to have once belonged to him, was found in another captured camp of the insurgents. You will readily admit that had a@ similar circumstance occurred during our own War it would not have been regarded as disposed of by a simple declaration that the medl- cine chest had been parted with previous to the outbreak of hostilities, The strong point which prevents the interven- tion of this government in behalf of Dr, Houard from becoming eiMcacious for his release 1s the fact that he has been REGULARLY TRIED AND FOUND GUILTY by a duly constituted tribunatin the Isiand of Cuba. Af it were in the power of Dr. Houard or his friends | to put this department in possession of facts that would impugn the int rity of the proceedings of | that tribuual, or deny its competency to act in the | premises, such facts would be urged tothe best | advantage ; but none suc are offered, with the ex- | ception of the er parte declaration of a single, un trustworthy witness, who 1 declares ‘that he gave testimony against Dr. Houard WHICH WAS FALSE, } d not remind you that the government of | ited States acknowledges the principle of ex, tion, and that a formal act or declaration is not essential to effect a renunciation of the na- | tionality of birth. Ii Dr. Houard had desired to re- | nounce his nationality of birth it was not necessary | for him to do more than he had actually done in quitting the United States, eos’, himself permanently in Cuba and making that island his residence, Without any declared or fixed intention | to return to the United States, and without .dis- | charging during his long residence any duty o1 a | citizen of the United States, and appearing osten- sibly as a Spanish subject. If there be circum- stances to contradict this APPARENT THROWING OFF OF AMERICAN CITIZENSHIP they have not been fally presented, * * * ¢ remark that other governments are more so- eitons than that of the United states to protect their citizens abroad is not supported by any facts | relating to the present troubies m Cuba, and might be disproved by abundance of evidence to be found in the published archives and correspon pe wud | in the debates of public assemblies of diderent na- | tions, The United States government ts GENFRALLY MENTIONED AS THE MOST EXACTING in this respect of any in the world, and nothing whatever has been done by the present administra- tion to change its character in this regard. No other Power hax becn more snecessful than our- selves in dealing with the authorities of the island of Kuba. It is, however, @ very common thing for people of any nationality, in moments of dis- appointment and excitement, to imagine that if their nationality were different their cases would receive more careful attention. You may be sure, Mr. Vice President, that the painful case of Dr. Houard and all similar cases will continue to re- ceive the moat careful consideration by this gov- ernment, and should it be in the power of - of your correspondents to furnish information that Will strengthen the bands of the govergypent in tho fremions, otc: information will be most gratefully hid Md honor to be, Hon, Seuorirk Courax, Vice President of the United Staten» OO " Republican ¢ ngratulation to Free America.

Sea RC The New York Central Railroad Depot at West Albany on Fire. IMMENSE DESTRUCTION OF PROPERTY. Sixty-five Cars Loaded with Freight and Nine- teen Passenger Coaches Burned. ALBANY, N. Y., July 6, 1872. A fire broke out this evening in the paint shop of the New York Central Railroad, at West Albany. The shop was soon reduced to ashes, and about fifty cars toaded with freight, standing in the vicinity, took fire. The flames also extended to three of Wagner's drawing room cars, At first it was sup- posed the fire would be confined to the paint shop, but a breeze sprung up, and it was feared that all the buildings in the place would be swept away. ‘Therefore a second alarm, given by the fire alarm telegraph, reached this city, and additional steam fire engines were sent out. The losses are estimated as follows: Sixty freight cars... ‘The freight in the cars ‘Three sleeping cars One drawing room car... Five passenger coaches. ‘The paint shop.....

Also seventeen passenger coaches and two sleeping cars. He could not say positively how the fire origina- ted, but thinks it may have been caused by a spark from an engine or probably set on fire. He did not think that it could have originated from combusti- ble explosion, as there is no way that such a thing comld have happened, as the fire was first discov- ered in the roof. The flames are still raging. NO DELAY TO TRAINS. Owing to a short supply of water the fire made rapid progress until large quantities of nose were sent from here to connect with distant hydrants.

Stitt went himself, and, after paying McCurdy, it is alleged, vajied him all manner of vile names, MeCurdy quietly knocked him down, and then lifted him up and washed the blood offhim.

THE JUSILEE DEAD. Additional Arrivals and Changes in the Programme. THE CHAIRMANSHIP CONTEST, Meeting of the New York Delegations---Gov- ernor Hoffman Chairman, Rasesenbclghiaisoliacs THE “BOLTERS” NON EST. ee The Convention To Be Conducted on’Old Times Principles. Baurimorx, July 6, 1872, The speculations in the despatches of last night as to the temporary ant permanent cbair- man of the Convention, which were based upon the sentiment of the delegates who had then ar- rived, have been completely or greatly changed, both by the larger delegations putting in an appearance to-day and the sentiments expressed by the dif- ferent members of the National Executive Com. | mittee at its session this morning, The meeting was held simply to get the report of the operations of the Resident Committee, and discuss such pre- liminaries as would be necessary for the temporary organization of the Convention. THE CHAIRMANSHIP. It may now be considered certain that neither Philip Frank Thomas, of Maryland, or Governor Vance, of North Carolina, stand any chance for the honor of being temporary chairman, The names Most canvassed this evening for that position are John B. Baldwin, of Virginia, who has miuch strength on account of his record as a strong Southern Unionist at the breaking out of the war, and a most consistent demo- crat since. Jefferson Randolph, of Virginia, an old man, and a grandson of Thomas Jefferson, and Governor English, of Connecticut, are also spoken of. The general feeling among all the delegates is that the permanent President must come from the Northwest, and no Eastern or Southern man is spoken of in that connection. General John A, McClernand, who last night was the unanimous choice of all the delegates present, to-day seems to have found considerable opposition for that po- sition, the chief point urged against him being that many democrats do not think it proper to place a man at the head of the Convention who has ever receded from democratic principles. The name of General Joseph Shields, of Indiana, is now being used with much effect, and it is not at all un- likely that he will be the permanent President, although McClernand still has tie inside track. Senator Casserly’s name is also being used in con- nection with the permanent Presidency of the Con- vention, MEETING OF THE NEW YORK DELEGATES The New York delegation had a meeting this even- ing and appointed Governor Hotfman Chairman, and Mr. Cassidy, of Albany, and Mr. Gordon, of Del- aware, Secretaries of the delegation. No other business was done, and the delegation will not meet again until Monday. There are some vacancies to be filled, which will be first in order. Nearly all the delegation have arrived, the conspicuous absentees being those from the city; none of the latter, ex- cept Hon. 8. 8. Cox and Coroner Young, being here as yet. The delegates from the river counties came with Governor Hoffman, this afternoon, Some trouble has been anticipated in regard to the adop- tion of the two-thirds rule, but nothing is likely to come of these fears. PROBABLE SPIRIT OF THE CONVENTION. ‘The feeling ia very strong in favor of making the Convention rigidly democratic, and the two-thirds rule is a rigid democratic principle, wit owing to the rulings of previous Convention: y become part of the rules, Almost without remark, in 1832 the Democratic Convention adopted a rule that two-thirds of the vote actually cast in the Conven- tion should be construed as the meaning of the rule, but this was changed in 1860 to two-thirds of the Electoral College, and this has been adhered. to ever since. There can be no doubt that the rules of the Convention of 1868, which are the same as those of 1864 and 1860, will be adopted here, and that everything will pass off AFTER THE OLD DEMOCRATIC FASHION. The rule, of course, applies only to the nomina- tion ior President and Vice President. In the New York Convention Governor Seynour asked the time of the Convention in ruling on the point, and in the end decided by citing the Lag of General Cush- ing in the Charleston Convention in 1860, From all these facts, which are constantly quoted here, the action of the Convention in the matter is considered as certain. NO SIGNS OF THE BOLTERS. The delegates to the Bolters’ Convention which was called to meet here on Monday to make a Sereehyout nomination, have not yet arrived, and nothing can be learned as to their plan of opera- tions, except that Maryland Institute has been en- gaged by them asa place of meeting. From present appearances it will never assemble, and by next Wednesday night all of the elements of oppo- sition to Mr. Greeley in the democratic party will be hushed by the noise of the general enthusiasm created by his nomination by the National Demo- cratic Convention. POSITION OF GENERAL HANCOGK, General Hancock has written a letter to a friend in this city, defining his position in the*coming can- vass, He wiil cheerfully support any one who may receive two-thirds of the support of the Conver.tion at Baltimore, and in any other contingency he feels that he should be silent until the extent of any op- position to Greeley is developed, ‘WOODCHOPPING DAY AT OHAPPAQUA. Mr. Greeley paid his usual woodchopping visit to Chappaqua yesterday. He was accompanied by Whitelaw Reid and John Hay. The political eles ment was conspicuously absent. It was merely a home gathering and proved the dullest Saturday that the farm at Chappaqua has endured wince the Cincinnati nomination. Mr. Greeley had not seen either his wife or daughters for a week, and greeted them very heartily on his arrival at the House in the Woods. Mr. J. R.

An accident occurred to the four P, M. train to- day by the breaking of an axle near Cape May. ‘Three passengers were injured. Their names are Weston Evans and Morris Harris, of Philadelphia, and Mr. De Buehler, of Harrisburg. The latter is the only one seriously injured, aud he is aoing well under the care of a physician. WAS HE A MURDERER? Not long ago® man named Miller was injured on the New Jersey Railroad and taken to the hospital in Newark, where he died. Recently Mayor Good, of Bristol, Pa., telegraphed to Mayor Ricard, of Newark, that aman answering Miller’s description had run away from his wife and children. Letters and photographs — found on Miller leave — little doubt that he is the man in question. Further investigation revealed the fact that Miller’s real name is Prana Zeller, deceased having told a fellow boarder in Newark that he took the assumed naine of Miller on account of his having accidentally killed a man in Minnesota while hunting deer.

Boston, July 6.1872. ‘The last day of the weary, noise-producing Jubilee Yaa’ come and gone, and there comes a sense of relief over every one who has been compelled to listen to the ceaseless drumming, chorusing’ and cannon-firing that has marked the pro- gress of Gilmore's pet, which words cam hardly express, It is to be hoped that, in the language of the slums, the enterprising Irishman “wilt give us a rest’ from musical cares for many yours. To hear one Jubilee fs Joy enough for one lifetime, unless natare has endowed the listener with leathern ears and an intense admiration for” gaping, hand-clapping and fittle comprehension, ‘This class of persons have returned to thety homes full of the immensity of the Boston musicat show? but the more discriminating will have only memory of grand compositions rondered with great loudness, but without delicury of thought or color. No matter what interested people may say, the whole affair has been & huge fatlure musically, and has only been saved from financial ruin by the presence of the foreign bands. It leaks out now that the financial position is far from satisfactory. Even the attraction of the white hat of the Chappaqua Philosopher failed to bring much grist to the mill. This was the Jast effort of these musical minds to turn an honest Penny; but, like many others of their grand strokes, it missed its mark. The experiment as to the Possibility of prolonging the days of the monster has resulted so unfortunately that no further efforts wilt be made in this direction, Great expectation had been formed that THE BENEFIT TO'STRAVSS would throw new life and enthusiasm’into the dying Jubilee, but even this last hope was dissi- pated by the small number of the audience present to-day. The vast auditorium presented the same blank and wobegone appearance as it did on yes- terday, and it must have become evident to the most enthusiastic Jubilee body-snatcher, that the Jubilee was dead beyond power of revival, All enthusiasm is at an end, and the. people are only too anxious to have the whole affair buried out of sight. When Strauss made his appearance to-day he was warmly received, but he ‘must have felt anything but pleased to notice the paucity of the attendance. It is said that the committee made him the generous offer of $2,000 if he would forego the intended benefit. This ho declined to do, as he hoped, no doubt, to make @ much larger sum, in which he has been sadly disap- pointed, If the warm appreciation of the audi- ence would take the place of a monetary success the distinguished conductor would have had.noth- ing to complain of; but unfortunately clapping of hands won't pay tailors’ bills STRAUSS CRITICISING THE COLISEUM. Strauss is full of his visit to New York, where he hopes to appear to greater advantage. In con- versation with me to-day he admitted that all deliacy of exccution was lost here in the vast size of the orchestra. Tis opinion is that concerts on this scale are a mis take, as the acoustic properties of the halls must aimost of necessity be vel un- equal, as well as unsuitable to. the ren- dering of the more delicate shades of expression. He leaves here for New York this even- ing. IN SAYING GOODBY he took occasion to express his gratitude { flattering way in which the press of the co has spoken of him since his arrival here.
