The “No!” “‘No!’’ from the Right was dread- fully emphatic, and it must have reminded the President of some pledges which he seems not unwilling to forget. It is notorious that two- ‘thirds of the Assembly are monarchists. It is undeniable that they gave their confidence to M. Thiers at the outset, because they believed ho would use all his influence to restore the monarchy, Since the advent of Thiers to power there have arisen difficulties which have disturbed the calculations both of: the Presi- dent and of the Assembly. For these difficul- ties neithor has been responsible, and hence there has been much mutual forbearance, Tho Assembly could not blame the President; the President could not blame the Assembly. Now, however, President Thiers has spoken out, and he has spokeri éut so plainly that it iis no longer to be doubted that he goes in itly afd squs for the republic. ‘You entrusted us with the republic!’? The Right, the powerful majority, say “No.” The Left, the weak minority, cheer to the echo. With the Right at his back President Thiers has found it a comparatively easy task to govern France. It seems now as if the long-threatened crisis had been reached. For the time Presi- dent Thiers is without his majority in the House. He has promised on an early day to explain. His explanation may be satisfactory, but it may not. If satisfactory all may be well. If not satisfactory the dreaded crisis ‘has ‘been reached. President Thiers may resign, but his resignation will not make an end of the difficulty. A general election may be found to be a necessity; but no man can tell to what wild chaotic confusion a general election may lead. The sword may be again unsheathed, and France may have to seek sal- vation through another baptism of blood. President Thiers has consented to modify his tax bill in face of the Parliamentary opposi- tion. The debate on the measure was renewed in the Assembly yesterday. The por- tion of the act increasing the tax on licenses was adopted, and the clauses decreeing an in- creases of the tax on doors, windows and farni- ture rejected. This action is somewhat compli- mentary to M. Thiers, but it will derange his treasury calculations fearfully, and go to prove that the French Parliament would not drain the bitter cup to the dregs, as he recom- mended. Gossip of the Press. Our religious contemporaries appear to be afflicted with the midsummer dulness. If we take the present week as an example we might be led to wonder how the religious press suc- ceed in entertaining and retaining their readers from one year’s end to the other. But it so happens that during a twelvemonth there are many happy and gracious revivals in the spirit that pervades their columns, There are the conventions and annual assemblies, anni- versary gatherings and discussions upon a great variety of other topics, which furnish themes and serve to impart a lively and ani- mated coloring to their pages. But hero in the middle of July, with the thermometer on the trapeze and the mercury almost grasping the round hundred in the shade, who can ex- pect cheerful repartee or heavy logic or pon- derous dogmatism in our religious journals ? Some—the Golden Age, for example—may treat on politics, and pronounce Horace Greeley’s letter accepting the Cincinnati nomination equal to anything the brain of St. Paul ever produced after his conversion. The Christian Union may talk of ‘Political Consistency,’’ Suggestive Religious and declare ‘the republican party to bo sounder, safer, more earnest for the great ends of public good, than any nascent party made up by the most extra- ordinary coalition known to political history.”’ ‘The sterling old Methodist may show ‘‘ The Way the Irish Catholics Are Humbugged,”’ or pub- lish a letter from Pastor Ribetti, of Rome, denying certain statements made by Father Gavazzi in a speech delivered by the latter at Princeton a few weeks since. The Presby- terian Observer may go ‘‘In Search of Chris- tianity,’’ touch on the ‘Rev. Dr. Loyal Young and Free Discussion,” suggest something in regard to ‘Progress Toward Union,” and have something’ to say about a ‘‘ Welcome to Scot- tish Divines.’’ The Hvangelist may want to now “ What Shall We Substitute?" referring to the subject of ministerial education, or draw «*An American Parallel for John Henry New- man.”’ ‘The Independent may preach ao ser- ‘ mon upox the text of “ Not a Bad Heart;” and, ghoul-lixe, prey upon the heartstrings of the living while it cants upon the heart of a man mouldering in his grave, John Cotton Smith, editor in chief of the Church and State, Pro- tes‘ant Churchman and Christian Witness, surplusage of pious papers all boiled into one, may descant upon “Christianity in Our Col- leges”’ or givo ‘‘ An Interesting Specimen’ of clergymen wishing to tako orders in the Epis- copal Church and requiring them to be six months off clerical duty. ‘‘ What for?’’ asks the Rey, Mr. Cotton Smith. ‘To give them a vacation, or is it to put them on proba- tion ond test their meetness for the prieat- hood?” It might be suggested that they may make it either a ‘‘vacation,"’” including a trip to Europe, or to Newport, Saratoga, Long Branch, Sharon Springs, Lake Mahopac, Ber- gen Point or Niagam Falls, or to go to some political convention, like those recently held at Cincinnati, Philadelphia and Baltimore, end open the proceedings with prayer. In the latter case they taight fit themselves for the duties of chaplains of the United States Senate or Honse of Representatives or of some of our State Legislatures, and in time become competent to serve as chaplains on board of | and chop logic as the venerable woodchopper chops his maples, and the benevolent Patrick Donohoe, of the Boston Pilot, may get up, in the fulness of his great philanthropic nature, some under- taking for the good of man and woman and children kind. In short, the circle of religious journalism may do or say, suggest or prophesy, this or that, yet the wheel of the grand world of Christian righteousness must still revolve and bear upon its periphery all that is pure and holy, just and virtuous, lovely and heavenly, for the benefit of all mankind. Rome, Italy and the Church=—No Com- Promise from the Pope. There had been so little heard from Rome for some time past concerning the unsettled dif- ficulties between the Pope and the Italian gov- ernment, in reference to its occupation of the Holy City, its appropriation of Church properties, &., that we were begin- ning to think that the Church and the State were probably in the way to an accommoda- tion, when the Pope’s protest (which we have already published in full for the information of our readers) was laid before us. This pro- test dispels all such fallacious ideas as that of a compromise between the removed sovereign of Rome and the government which has taken his place. The Holy Father, in the statement of the wrongs which he and his Church have suffered and are suffering, and the rights which he cannot relinquish or compromise, shows us that between himself and that which he designates ‘the usurper’s government’’ po reconciliation is possible. This protest from the Vatican, of. date the 16th of June last, is issued, as His Holiness informs his Secretary of State, Cardinal Antonelli, to whom it is addressed, in con- sequence of ‘‘a fresh outrage inflicted, not only on us, but all Catholicity’’—viz., ‘‘the decision recently made by the President of the Ministers of the usurper’s government, who has announced his firm resolution to present to the Chambers a bill for the suppression of the religious orders of this our city, the seat of the See of the Vicar of Jesus Christ, and the metropolis of the Catholic world.” Tho Pope naturally feels a ‘‘profound bitterness’ in reference to this resolution of, the Italian Prime Minister, inasmuch as the suppression of the religious orders in Rome, or the arbi- trary limitation of their existence, is ‘a direct attempt aimed against the liberty and inde- pendence of the Roman Pontiff, taking, as it does, out of his hands one of the most power- fuland most efficacious means of governing the Universal Church.’’ In this protest, after enlarging upon the evil consequences to the Church of this afore- said resolution on the part of the Italian gov- ernment, the Supreme Pontiff proceeds to a recapitulation of the numerous other rights, as head of the Catholic Church, of which he has been deprived, and of the insults to which he: is daily subjected in Rome, and of the reasons which detain him there in the face of all these persecutions, and then he declares, in reference to a reconciliation with Italy: — “No! we cannot stoop to approve these assaults against the Church, this usur- pation of our most sacred rights, this culpable interference of civil authority in ecclesiastical concerns.’’ Firm and im- movable,’’ he will stand in defence of his flock. In a word, it is utterly impossible that there can be a compromise between him and the Italian government. i What, then? It appears tous, as the inevitable solution of this irrepressible conflict between Church and State in Rome, that the Pope (the present Pope) will be compelled to leave the city and seek an asylum in some foreign land, should his life be spared a year or two longer. He is convinced that the Italian government is resolved to make Rome to him as a residence really insupportable; and if, in view of the duties of his sacred office, he can listen to no terms of accommodation, we cannot see what other alternative will be left him a few months hence than that of a removal beyond the boun- daries of Italy. Nor can we suppose that in the event of the death of Pius the Ninth the case with his successor will offer any other alternative than the abandonment of Bome. How long it may be before this Roman question will de- mand the intervention of a European con- ference we cannot tell; but, from the gravity and importance of the subject to all the Euro- pean States, we cannot doubt that to this solution it must come at last. A Forerasts oF Taz Poxritca Miu.En- xiumM.—The most thorough shuffling of the political pack that this age has ever seen was exhibited at the Greeley Jubilee at Chappaqua yesterday, when the Southern members of the Democratic National Committee made a visit to Horace Greeley. There was Duke Gwin, of Sonora, arm and arm with Francis W. Bird, of Boston; General Chalmers, of John- ston’s old army, hobnobbing in lemon- ade with General Stephen G. Burbridge, of Kentucky; ex-Postmaster General Reagan, of the ex-confederacy, in social discussion with Theodore Tilton, and the representative “old secesh’’ of the South shaking hands indeed across ‘“‘the bloody chasm’ with the representative old abolition agitators of the North. Is there not something suggestive be- yond the mere notion of a political dodge in all this? Is it not, indeed, a type of that true reunion where old errors and troubles, even those ghastly ones that led to civil war, may be reviewed ina friendly manner, with con- cession and pardon on both sides, ready to smooth over all recurring anger? The politi- cal millennium is coming. FIRE IN AN INDIANA STATE PRISON, MICHIGAN City, Ind., July 18, 1872. The west shop (two hundred by forty feet) of the Northern Prison at Michigan City has just been burned by fire, supposed to have originated some of Unele Sam’s men-of-war bound on n | from sparks from a ‘chimney lodging in the gutter three years’ cruise.

Vice Commodore Douglas Refuses to Sail Against Commodore Ashbury. ‘The Sappho Shows What She Can Do—Bhe Starts Fifteen Minutes Later than the Livonia, Runs to Leeward and Crosses Her Bow and Returns Ahead. « The following special report to the Herarp has been received from our correspondent in Havre: — Havng, July 13, 1872. The Havre regitta took place yesterday. Twelve boats were entered for the regatta, and the race was to be sailed inside of twenty hours. MB, DOUGLAS REFUSES TO SAIL AGAINST MR. ASHBURY. Tt was expected that the English yachts Guinevere and Livonia and the American yacht Sappho would be contestants in the race, but the Guinevere being withdrawn, THE SAPPHO WAS ALSO WITHDRAWN, because no other large schooner except the Livonia was left in the race, and Mr. Douglas refused to sail with Mr. Ashbury as the only competitor. THE START. Four boats started in the race. THE SAPPHO STARTS OUT FIFTEEN MINUTES LATER. Fifteen minutes after the contending yachts got away the Sappho started after them, and, running to the leeward of the fleet, soon over- hauled and passed the Livonia, CROSSING HER BOWS AT LEAST A MILE AHEAD, and returned to the anchorage after being absent one hour and a half. FRANCE. The Legislative Debate on Thiers’ Taxation Bill—Concession by the Cabinet. TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD. Paris, July 13, 1872, The proposition of M. Gasionde which created such an excited debate in the National Assembly yesterday was to increase the rate of taxation on licenses, doors, windows and furniture. The subject came up again during the sesston of the Assembly to-day, and, after debate, that part of the proposal increasing the tax on licenses was adopted, but the other portion, increasing the tax on doors; windows and furniture, was rejected.

Shooting Affray Between Americans in Alexan- dria—Civil and Military Officers in Riot and a Combatant Wounded. TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD. ALEXANDRIA, July 12, 1872, A disgraceful affray occurred here yesterday be- tween G. H. Butler, the United States Consul Gen- eral, and Wadleighs, his secretary, on the one part, and Generals Loring and Reynolds and Major Campbell, ex-Confederate oficers, employed in the Khedive's service, on the other part. Shots were exchanged and Major Campbell wounded. The affair creates great excitement, and there are various accounts of the origin oi the dimculty.

Mevpnis, Tenn., July 13, 1872. Last evening while a party of boys were bathing in the river, below the foot of Beale street, a pri- vate watchman named Sturgeon, employed to take charge of some flat boats near at hand, came out ‘on the roof of his dwelling, armed with a musket, and followed by his wife, who was armed witha Tevolver. there, Sturgeon took deliberate aim at one of them named John Murphy, who was in the water, and fired, three slugs striking him in the head, killing him instantly. Immediately after shooting, Sturgeon Jumped into a skiff and made his escape. His wife was ar- rested and lod, in the station house. They came here recently from St. Louis and are represented as bad characters. A coroner’s jury returned a verdict of wilful murder against Sturgeon.

All doubt as to the safety of Dr. Livingstone is set at rest by the letters received at London from Stan- ley, the New YORK HeRAtp’s correspondent. Stan- ley, after a journey of much hardship, found Living- stone at Ujiji, on the east side of Lake Tanganyika. Dr. Livingstone’s account of his movements is that, in March, 1866, he started to explore the Rovu- ma River (which falls into the Indian Ocean), reached and crossed the Chambezi River (not the Zambesi), and becdme convinced that it is thé frue source of the Nile. He followed this stream, which is called also the Lualaba, for 700 miles, Supplies failing, he was compelied to return to Ujiji, whe?o Stanley found him in October, 1871. The two ex- plorers spent nearly a month together, going east- ward to Unyamyembe, Livingstone, who ts hale and hearty, is determined to remain 4nd solve, if pos- sible, the Nile problem. There are nearly two hun- dred miles of the Chambezi or Lualaba to be ex- plored before its source is reached, This work, itis estimated, will occupy two years, This is Stanley’s story, and it is circumstantial and trustworthy. When his letters arrive we shall get more details, and, it is to be hoped, something direct from Dr. Livingstone himself, The HERALD!S achievement is a great honor to American journal- ism, What the British government failed to do one American newspaper has accomplished out of its own resources, On the entry of Ujiji our flag was carried at the head of the exploring party. The English dailies are quite enthusiastic over this American achievement, and the stock expressions about “one blood” and “one kindred” are gone over again with great heartiness, (From the Brooklyn Times, July 12.) We are convinced at last that Livingstone, the great African explorer, still ives, and the world is indebted to Stanley, the indomitable, of the New York HERALD, for a knowledge of the gratifying fact. Yesterday advices were received in London from Aden, a British coaling station in the Red Sea, that Stanley, in company with Dr. Livingstone’s son, had reached that place on his way to England, bearing despatches to the British government from the distinguished traveller. For the incredulity with which the accounts of Stanley’s movements in search of Dr. Livingstone have been in some quarters received the New York HERALD is itself responsible, from the absurdities with which those accounts were so atundantly interlarded, Had the HERALD been content to report what Stan- ley was doing, with a due regard to vratsemblance, it would not have excited suspicion, at least not to any great extent; but when, for sensational pur- poses, it dressed up its reports in the most out- rageously absurd garb, it was natural that people should conclude that the whole thing was, if not absolutely fictitions, a gross exaggeration of facts. However, let all that pass. The HERALD has gained a great triumph, and deserves the congratulations it will now receive. GOSSIP OF THE COUNTRY PRESS. The Elmira Gazette says :—‘‘The New YORK HERALD has sent an explorer in a canoe to trace out the source of the Mississippi. The man found one place where the river was so full of crooks and bends that he had to stop half an hour to let the compass catch up.” The New Orleans Republican states that news- paver and periodical publishers are hunting up Stanley, the HERALD correspondent on the Living- stone search, to open negotiations with him for sketches outside those which he will furnish ex- clusively to the HERALD, They are very anxious to know of the Hrera.p people in London where he may be found, ana the next thing will be the search for Stanley. The Frederick City (Md.) Republican, says it would ruin England if she should hire Dr. Living- stone to make his explorations at so much a month and “found.” Buttered watermelon is said to be a fashionable democratic dish since Gratz Brown was seen using his butter in that way. “By the way,” suggests the Knoxville Chronicle, “couldn’t some of the demo- cratic editors who publish falsehoods about the in- temperate habits of Grant explain why Gratz did that?” Says the Louisville Ledyer:—“The New York HERALD’s exploring expedition in the Northwest has discovered where the Mississippi River takes its rise, The explorer, who thought he had discovered the source of the river is shown to have been mis- taken. Itasca Lake is not the place—Dolly Varden Lake has the distinguished honor. It is situated in Cass county, Minnesota, and is scarcely one quarter of a mile in diameter and has an average depth of twelve feet.” i PERSONAL INTELLIGENCE. Ex-Mayor J. M.

It is not at eighty-four years of | age that, after the labor of each day, a little rest in the evening is sufficient. I return thanks to God for having permitted me, so near the close of my life, to be called to testify my frm attach- ment to the Ohristian faith, and my confl- dence in the General Synod and the Reformed Church of France. I thank my colleagues, mem- bers of this august assembly, for the kindness with | which they have received my free language. I | respect their liberty as much as my own, even when their belief differs from mine, and I pray to God to pour His ght on all their thoughts and re- solutions in the work of Christian charity with which they are charged, and which inspires in all Christendom, in despite of the disputes which divide it, so great and legitimate an interest.
