But, as the Apaches did not understand this thing of arresting a refractory party, they, to the number of four hundred, opened fire on the guard, killing one soldier, whereupon a company of cavalry returned the fire, killing thirty red men. The remainder broke and fled to the mountains, hotly pursued by two companies of cavalry. Moral.—Where the Quaker man with his striped blankets and roast beef fails to pacify our wild red brethren, the cavalry man with his carbine is a good idea. Tae Spanish Treasury Bupcet.—The Spanish Minister of Finance expresses the hope that the Treasury budget, which he will present to the Cortes to-morrow, will have the effect of permanently restor- ing the financial equilibrium of the kingdom. It is to be hoped that his anticipa- ‘tion will be realized. Should he succeed in "balancing the revenue income and expendi- ‘tures of Spain, with a fair show of justice to the different interests of the country and to its creditors, he will prove himself to be one of the ablest, if not one of the most wonderful, financiers of modern times. If he can man- age to obtain a national loan from the Spanish people, and avoid any heavy tax imposition on vested _ interests oron articles of prime necessity for domestic consumption, he will be enabled to serve his country and tide along pleasantly in his official position. Like to His Majesty Amadeus, we must await the exhibit and rejoice if the figures come out all right, Last Catt.—A call has been issued for a State Convention of straight-out de mocrats, to meet at Tweddle Hall, Albany, on the 3d of October, at noon, to nominate candidates for our State offices to be filled this year, and a Presidential electoral ticket under the flag of Conor and Adams. “' Nil desperandum.”” Civil and Religious Trouble in Ger- many—The Persecution of the Jesu- its. In another place in this day's Hxratp will be found some most interesting matter rela- tive to the civil and religious questions which now agitate the new German Empire. A letter from our correspondent in Germany will enable our readers to understand what is the actual position of the Jesuit Brotherhood in the reconstructed Fatherland. It is known to our readers that the Old Catholics of Ger- many are now in sessionat Cologne, under the shadow of the great cathedral, around which cluster so many sacred memories inseparably associated with the history of Christianity in Europe. To add to the interest of the general question, the news which we publish this morning informs us that a serious rupture is imminent between France and Germany, the German Minister at Versailles having resigned his position, owing, it is said, to the treatment he has been receiving in Parisian society. Itis added that if the German government is satis- fied with the conduct of the Minister who has thus demitted his charge no successor will be appointed, and the duties of the Ambassador will be left in the hands of the German Con- sul. The Pope recently refused to receive as Ambassador the Cardinal Hohenlohe, and now Parisian society makes the position of the German Ambassador to France so uncomfort- able that he voluntarily retires. All things considered, the aspect of affairs is not promis- ing, and somehow we are forced to the con- clusion that the new German Empire is neither comfortable herself nor making her- self agreeable to her neighbors. We believe we express the sentiments of thousands of our readers when we say that in all this we find cause for disappointment. It was our opinion that the triumph of German arms and the unification of the German peoples would mark the commencement of a new and noble era—an era the principal characteristics of which would be intelli- gence, prosperity and peace. We saw the evils of disunion, and we, knew how earnestly for generations the divided German race longed and prayed for the union of the Fatherland. We rejoiced in the victory at Sadowa and we rejoiced in the victory at Sedan, because we believed that the one victory and the other contributed to the union of Germany, to the consolidation of agreat empire and to the establishment of the world’s peace. It is unnecessary to say that our expectations have not been realized, that our hopes have been blasted. In the conqueror we were entitled to expect magna- nimity; but in place of magnanimity we have found selfishness of the meanest and most sordid kind, carrying out its purposes by most merciless means. In the unification of a great people and the consolidation of a great empire it was not unnataral to look for fruit in the shape of contentment, peace and prosperity. But the fruit which we had ex- pected to be so pleasant is, alas! bitter to the taste. Discontented with their lot at home, the German people are leaving the united Fatherland in thousands; and so great is the exodus that the government has deemed it necessary to interfere. Among the religious orders who did good and faithful service to German soldiers on the field none were more devoted or untiring in their efforts than the followers of Ignatius Loyola; and how have they been rewarded? By a cruel law—a law which revives the memory of the bloody Inquisition—they are not only robbed of their property, but expelled the country. It was natural to expect that after so grand a series of victories, and after so glorious a national triumph, the princes and potentates of Ger- many would live together in unity; but the arrogance of Bismarck and the pretensions of the House of Hohenzollern have done much to mar the peace of what otherwise might have been a happy family. The Kings of Saxony and Bavaria are no longer on the best of terms with the Berlin government; and it is almost safe to say that in the event of another Franco- German war their support to the cause of the Emperor would be but reluctantly given. There were thousands of intelligent men in all lands who rejoiced in the triumph of Germany, because they believed that the permanent peace of Europe and the world would thereby be effectually secured; but the recent Imperial Congress at Berlin has done much to dispel this pleasaut dream from the most hopeful minds. Never was the condition of Europe so critical as it is at the present moment, and never since the days of the First Napoleon have the nations been so much at the mercy of a daring and unprin- cipled man. As yet the new German Empire has not been peace. Many as have been the errors of the impe- rial government, in nothing has it so much f sinned as in the treatment ot the Jesuits. We are willing to admit the truth and force of many of the arguments which have been used by Bismarck in justification of his policy. It was not unnatural for the authorities at Rome to regret the fall of France and to view with disfavor the rise of a great Protestant empire in the heart of Europe. It was not unnatural for the leaders of the Catholic Church in South Germany to prefer the interests of the Church to what seemed at Berlin the interests of the Fatherland, and in view of the great influence of the Protestant States of the North to think and speak of the Church’s danger. Let it be granted that the sentiments of Rome werc known to be unfriendly, that the leaders of the Church in South Germany thought and spoke and wrote of their danger, and that even, as Bismarck attempted to prove in Parlia- ment, when pushing through his School bill, something like a conspiracy had been discov- ered—a conspiracy traceable to Jesuit influ- ence—and the object of which was to thwart the purposes of the imperial government and to hinder the progress of German unity. Let all this be granted. Let us suppose al) this to be true. What then? Have we yet founda reason for the merciless treatment which the Jesuits are now receiving at the hands of the imperial government? Let us look at the law passed by the Federal Council and now being enforced throughout Germany:—‘1, The Order of the Company of Jesus, orders akin to it, and congregations of a simi- lar character, are excluded from the German territory. Tho establishment of residences for these orders is prohibited. The establishments actually in existence must be suppressed within a period to be deter- mined by the Federal Council, but which shall not exceed six months. 2. The members of the Company of Jesus, or orders akin to it, NEW YORK HERALD, SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 1872—QUADRUPLE and of congregations of a similar character may be expelled the federal territory if they are foreigners. If natives, residence within fixed limits may be forbidden them or im- posed upon them. The measures necessary for the execution of this law and for the cer- tainty of this execution shall be adopted by the Federal Council.” Since the revocation of the Edict of Nantes, which led to the St. Bartholomew massacre; since the dark days of the Spanish Inquisition no such edict has gone forth to the world. When the law was first made public there were few who believed that it would ever be en- forced. The letter of our correspondent shows that the law in many parts of Germany has already been rigorously executed. In Metz and Munster and Mayence and in some parts of Prussian Poland the Jesuit brothers have been subjected to the most merciless treatment, and all over Germany they are packing up and preparing to leave. Naturally enough there is great excitement among the Catholic population, and numerous petitions have been addressed to the government in favor of a gentler policy. All, however, is in vain. Tho hawh law is enforced, the cruel work goes on, and in a few weeks, of the seven hundred and eight Jesuit brothers who were known to be within the limits presided over by the federal government of Germany, not one but will have gone forth in quest of another home. Surely milder treatment was possible. Why so much pretended fear of seven hundred men? It looks like wanton cruelty; and it is difficult to get rid of the idea that Bismarck, having some ulterior end in view, is resolved to stir up the passions of the entire Catholic population of Europe and so force on another war. If left alone the Jesuits would in time have become reconciled to the Empire, and, as schoolmasters and professors, they would have done good service to the State. As it is, Bismarck has adopted a course of policy which is as cruel as it is unjust, and which must in the end defeat the object he has in view. The blood of the martyrs, it has often been said, is the seed of the Church; and it will not be at all wonderful if this persecution of the Jesuits should strengthen the Catholic cause all over Europe and the world. There are in the German Empire not fewer than fourteen millions of Catholics, and it will be strange indeed if they tamely submit to this wanton insult. Certain it is that the sym- pathy of the Christian world, Protestant and Catholic alike, goes out to-day to the perse- cuted Jesuit brothers of Germany. Bismarck in this case has overreached himself. The East River Investigation. Professor Peirce, Superintendent of the Coast Survey; General Newton, the enginecr in charge of the harbor improvements, and General Humphreys, a board to investigate the consequences of narrowing the East River, are now prosecuting their inquiry. Several witnesses familiar with the formation of the river have testified. Certain occupants of the water front on the Brooklyn shore are driving piles and constructing piers out far into the strait, so as to give room for an incroased amount of shipping in their docks. A careful consideration of this matter will demonstrate that if this system be carried out, narrowing by many yards the natural gateway through which the tides from the bay rush to meet those of the Sound and then recede towards the ocean, it will be most seriously detri- mental to both New York and Brooklyn, whose interests in this matter are identical. Narrowing the channel will either greatly reduce the volume of water to pass through it, and so induce deposits of sand and mud, which in the long run would close the river to navigation, or it will so increase the velocity of the cur- rents as to greatly interfere with the movement of boats. As there is no large stream discharg- ing its torrent through this chasm into the ocean we might, no doubt, carry a causeway across from shore to shore, and thus annex Long Island to the mainland of the Con- tinent; but such a step, though it might facil- itate the transit of citizens from their business to their homes, would seriously curtail our commercial facilities. More than that, it would be most dangerous ina sanitary view. Our docks and all their surroundings are now kept pure and wholesome by the constant unchecked motions of the tides, which carry away all filth and give us always clean running sea water along both the long sides of the city. To stop or check that flow would be sheer madness and folly. If Brooklyn needs greater facilities for wharfage let her continue her ad- mirable system of basins, or let her excavate slips as far inland as she will. The river is far too valuable to the general public to be monopolized, destroyed or impaired for the benefit of a few property owners, and the people of both cities will look with interest for the report of this board of competent, practical gentlemen on this important subject. Swepen’s New Krxa.—By a cable despatch we learn that on Friday the State dignitaries at Stockholm took the oath of allegiance to the new sovereign of Sweden and Norway. Oscar Frederick, late Duke of Ostrogothic, now pro- claimed King Oscar IL, is the eldest brother of the late King Charles XV. and son of King Oscar I. He is now forty-three years of age, a man of acknowledged ability, and will begin his reign enjoying the good will and confi- dence of his subjects. In accordance with usage he will be separately crowned in the two ancient kingdoms—at Stockholm for Sweden and at Drontheim for Norway. While the united nations mourn for the death of King Charles they will rejoice over the accession of King Oscar. Asthe old French phrased it, “The King is dead—the King lives—long live the King!”’ Oxz More Usrortuxatre inmate of the Ward's Island Insane Asylum has passed be- yond the reach of such care as its nurses be- stowed upon him and Seymour and Ornell, who have gone before him on the journey from which none return to tell tales. District At. torney Garvin will have the opportunity to add another count to the indictment against Farrell. Tar Weex ww Watt Street wound up quiet, and there was a general subsidence both of ex- citement and activity in the various markets. There was a further yielding in gold, and money at the close loaned down to 24 per cent. The bank statement was in curious contrast to this general serenity, owing to. an impairment of the legal reserve, which has been as sacredly intact heretofore as a vest) virgin, The Cul of Campaign. ‘Thosé who imagined that the age of Quixot- ism had passed away are likely to find out that they were too sanguine by watching the pro- ceedings in the Spanish Cortes, In spite of the warnings of common sense the haughty Spaniards will insist on subjugating Cuba and restoring peace to the ‘Ever Faithful Isle’’ in the most approved ‘‘peace reigns in Moscow’ style. Nothing will convince the representa- tives in Madrid that they cannot easily put an end to the struggle which for years has deso- lated Cuba. Like their grand chivalric pre- decessor, their lance is in rest, and whether they charge a muleteer or a windmill is of no particular importance, so long as the spirit of chivalry is maintained. So strong is this feel- ing that the would-be heroes cannot be made to recognize the ridiculousness of their position, and while the arm of the windmill is carrying them through the air they continue to sing a song of tri- umph. It is very difficult to advise a people so exalté, and one would imagine that the fruit- less efforts made by Spain for the last few years to crush the Cuban movement ought to have convinced even enthusiasts of the hopelessness of the task. Not but that the movement has been suppressed—crushed out, and the revolu- tionists completely annihilated several times— on paper. Somehow, however, they got resur- rected, and the Spaniards admit that there are four thousand some hundreds and odd. The government is very careful to give the exact number, as a proof of its skill in divination. The Ministers do not tell us how they came by such perfect reports of the state of the Cuban Army, which they have been loudly assuring the world for some years had no existence, Be that as it may, the report is not a creditable one to Spain or her army. Allowing that the report is true, even to the odd man, it may be pertinently asked why the ‘‘ever faithfuls’’ do not put an end to the trouble by extermin- ating the gallant fow who uphold the Cuban cause? It is not creditable to the chivalrous Spaniards that some thirty thousand troops of Castile should be held at bay by a miserable band of four thousand adventurers, mostly Mexicans, negroés and Americans. We should never think of rating so low the courage of Spanish soldiers. But the fact is admitted, even paraded, and therefore we must believe it to be correct. It is truly » miserable affair from the begin- ning, and the best thing that Spanish states- men could do would be to recognize the importance of reconciling their pride with their real interests, and allowing Cuba to dispose freely of her own destinies. Our own pitiful policy has been much to blame for the bloody and protracted struggle which has been waged at our door. Had we had statesmen with grasp of mind enough to shape a reasonable and decided policy we should have used our moral influ- ence as mediator between the belligerents, and by aclear definition of our own position de- prived either party of any illusion they may have indulged in. So far from pursuing this manly and straightforward course we have trifled with the Cubans by hollow expressions of sympathy, which mean nothing and were never intended to mean anything. The chances of a peaceable solution of this ques- tion seem to be as remote as ever, unless the Spaniards succeed in the coming campaign in completely annihilating the insurgents. Sad as this prospect is, our boasted civilization has no alternative to offer, unless some powerful third party should appear on the scene, and there is not much chance of this. Anorner Exposton.—Yesterday morning the echoes of the Kill Von Kull were startled by the loud explosion of a tugboat near Cavan Point. When the terrified dwellers on the shore sought the cause of the sudden noise they saw in the stream what remained of the Passaic, of Newark, and her crew of four men. The captain, a fireman and the negro cook were so badly scalded and bruised that it will be strange if either should recover, while the engineer alone was uninjured. Hay- ing towed two schooners on Friday to a North River wharf the tug was on her way back to Newark without a tow at the time of the ex- plosion, which took place, as the engineer says, when she was only carrying fifty pounds of steam. To call this and other like occur- rences accidents would be a misuse of the term. They are natural results of known laws, and should be expected as of course. Certain strength of iron will only withstand a certain strain. We have a system of official inspec- tion which is intended to be far more severe than the allowed working steam pressure. This boat has been inspected this season, it is said. Who certified her boiler to be sound? Here is a chance for another search for truth or a whitewashing job, as the steamboat au- thorities shall decide. Tue San Juan Bounpary.—It is said therd is some anxiety in official circles at Washing- ton to learn the result of the arbitration of the Emperor of Germany on the San Juan bound- ary question. We think this unnecessary, for Kaiser William will no doubt make an award according to his honest convictions, and it is not of such vast consequence after all whether the little bit of territory in dispute be ad- judged to belong to the United States or to Great Britain. The disputed line originally across the Continent, embracing five degrees of latitude, was another thing. There wasa great difference between the parallels of fifty- four forty and forty-nine, but. this little speck of the San Juan Island is not of much conse- quence. We shall hear before long what the Emperor's decision will be, and then this difficulty, with those relating to the Alabama claims, the navigation of the St. Lawrence and the fisheries, will be closed up and there will be a new departure in our relations with England. Tae Brexvizze Investigation was begun yesterday by Inspectors Mershon and Mathews, but no new material fact was elicited from the one witness who appeared. Mr. Mathews having certified the steamer before she started, some doubts were ex- pressed as to the propriety of his conducting the examination; but he declared he was ordered to do it, and had no discretion in the matter. Has not the Department a proper officer who could relieve Mr. Mathews? He is said also to havo inspected and certified the Dean Richmond, which burst a flue last week while carrying a few hundred passen,ers up the river. SHEET. Spirit of the Religious Weeklies. “Is it doing more good than evil?’’ isa ques- tion under which the Observer discusses the character of the Roman Catholic Church. Against the liberal expressions of Dr. Hodge and the Christian Weekly it affirms the con- viction that any Church asserting infallibility for its earthly head, and claiming the ability to pardon sins for a consideration, must be evil in its influence, and that the individual members of a society founded upon the mo- rality of Socrates, Hume, Emerson and Her- bert Spencer would be more moral than the Catholics. Admitting that there are black sheep in every flock, it says we never see newspaper accounts of Baptist brigands or Methodist pirates, while the banded robbers of the East are as punetilious in their duties to the Church as they are regardless of every law God ever made for man, unwilling to eat meat on Friday, but willing to cut a man’s throat every day in the week. Still it concedes that there are many sincere and noble Christians in the Roman Church, that learning has had her aids and ornaments there and liberty its friends and martyrs. After uttering such ex- emplifications of the spirit of Christian char- ity the editor advises Christians to emulate the politicians in the beautiful mood in which they take defeat and disappointments, hoping, as they always do, to ‘sweep the State in the next struggle." The Jewish Times blows a blast for Hebrew reform against orthodoxy, and rejoices that refined, educated and thoughtful people are no longer ashamed of being known as Jews, because the antiquated superstition is being eliminated from that Church of Churches and heavenly freedom is taking its place. The Boston Pilot discusses women’s poli- tics. Ht says the Catholic Church from the first took the hand of woman and has led her from the social depths to the position she now holds. But no Catholics are to be found in the ranks of the so-called woman’s party, because, going on the wrong track, it denies thata woman is a woman, and attempts to prove her “‘only another man." Newspaper “interviews” and tho power and usefulness of the press are the subject of an able article, in which the great men of this day are reminded that their fame comes mostly through the newspaper, and that*the com- mendations of the press are the wind which swells the sails of popularity. In illustration the recent interview of a HeratD correspond- ént with Mgr. Dupanloup is quoted. Church “and State inquires ‘Who are dis- senters?’’ and, in answer, alludes to eight millions of professing Christians called Star- overs or Old Church Believers, They esteem the Greek Church, with its one hundred mil- lions, innovators and heretical dissenters, guilty of marching in processions contrary to the course of the sun and shaving the beard, sooner than do which one should cut off his own or his neighbor's head. Ad- herents of the Greek Church charge dissent and schism upon the Holy Catholic Apostolic Church of Rome, which, in turn, points the finger of reproach at the Church of Eng- land, whose champions claim for it a history beyond the Middle Ages, through Gaul and Ephesus up to the Apostle John. Episco- palians scorn as dissenters the short-lived Independents, disciples of Calvin, who reproach the followers of Arminius as dangerous intro- ducers of new notions. In fact, to each Church its own orthodoxy is obvious, while the hetero- doxy of all the world besides is cause for grief andpity. ‘I’ isalways spelled with a large character, while ‘thou’’ is never so dignified; yet the editor believes the dissenters of the West come no whit behind the oldest of the orthodox in living piety. Liturgical church service is commended, and sects which do not employ it are assured that the Episcopal Church claims no monopoly of it, but would be glad of its adoption in all worship. The Liberal Christian makes the not very liberal charge that in American Christendom there is most zeal to be found where ignorance most abounds. Such capacity of wholesale assertion and reckless disparagement of those who hold opposite views naturally suggests the inquiry whether the editor is not better fitted to conduct a political than a religious paper. The Freeman's Journal alludes toa contri- bution by the Holy Father Pope Pius IX. of a table service for the benefit of the female branch of the Catholic Protectory, which was burned a few weeks ago. The articles, which are embellished with the Pope’s monogram, are tobe sold, and a raffle is suggested, that rich and poor alike may have a chance to become their possessor. The Journal, after complimenting the Hzratp on the fulness and promptness of its recent Geneva despatches, expresses the opinion that in the arbitration Great Britain has submitted to a signal humil- iation, and considers the award asa fine im- posed upon her for her malevolent ill will towards America, The Examiner and Chronicle criticises the practice of ‘‘singing down’ a long-winded prayer or exhortation in social meetings, inti- mating that such hymns are hardly fit praise for the Almighty. It contains also, from Rev. Mr. Pentecost, of Brooklyn, a statement of the circumstances attending the first com- munion of Miss Smiley, who, having beena Friend, was lately baptized. His action had been condemned as at variance with the rules of the Baptist Church, as on this occasion he permitted persons belonging to other churches to join, and even one who belonged to no Church, the service being at the bedside of a dying man. That the sect is narrow-minded enough to find fault with the pastor places it in an unenviable light, while all will commend the independence of the minister who obeyed conscience rather than the canon. The Methodist laments the coldness of the congregational worship of its sect, and wants the people to have some part in it, not leaving pastor and choir to do its worship yicariously while the congregation sit as critics upon the performance. In its opinion Christian worshippers should offer prayer and praise personally, and not by proxy. To judge from some of the achievements of this denomination in their camp meetings very many of its members are well able thus to speak for themselves in devotional exercises. The Church Weekly urges upon the clorgy the duty of a frequent administration of the holy communion and the making and hearing of confessions, in which, it alleges, they have been derelict. The Hebrew Leader, alluding to the ap- proach of a season set apart for religious ob- servances, declares that the divine command | requires the participation of the heart, and is saeessennseanan nen | not satisfied with a formal performance of such duties, and quotes from the Mishna that “the loud sound of the Shofar does not suffice for man to elevate himself,”’ but the whole soul of the worshipper should accompany his acts Bayley as its Metropolitan, saying that only those who know ‘him personally can form @ correct idea oft of love and winning gentleness’ ‘that surrounds him in daily life or the strong hold he has on his clergy and people. Tae Cuurcu Concress m Cotoayz.—The Congress of Old Catholics, which convened in session in Cologne a few days since, was dig- solved by adjournment yesterday. The dele- | gates named a committee, including Dr. Dél- linger and Dr. Frederich, and commissioned | its members to secure a union of all Chris- | tians in the new Reform Church movement. | The “‘broad’’ Church idea is evidently extend- ing, but whether Dillinger will be able to nurture it to the proportions of a powerful Episcopal leverage for the alteration and repair of the ancient structure remains to be seen. Tue “Lare Unpueasantyzss’’ IN Parr.— We are sorry to hear that Count Von Arnim, the German Ambassador at Paris, has tendered his resignation, in consequence of the unpleas- antness he encounters in Parisian society. It is said further, that if the Count’s resignation is accepted his office, for the present, will re- main vacant, and the duties thereof will be turned over to the German Consul. In other words, the money spent by the German Em- bassy with the removal of the Minister, will be lost to the Parisians. How fearful must be this German sybjugation of the French when even their politeness has been conquered. Tue Constrrurion.—At this day, when wo hear nothing in our party politics but corrup- tion and reform, it is refreshing to hear the bugle blasts from Tennessee of Honest Andy Johnson for the constitution. ‘He is thar.”” PERSONAL INTELLIGENCE.
