sence whether a white man’s scalp be taken off ‘by a Catholic or a Protestant savage? The Tablet proposes that a complimentary Ginner be tendered to Father Burke by the in our city. ' The Catholic Review is desirous of ascertain- Ang where the Christian Intelligencer learned ‘that Catholics, as such, have any extraordi- ‘ary reverence for the Queen of Scots, or that they have any other feeling for her than the matural one of extreme pity for a much- ‘wronged and cruelly maligned woman, who Buffered a great deal for her faith. A correspondent of the Christian Standard (Campbellite Baptist) says he intends to send the editor, for next year, ‘a larger club than ever.’ Thus will he be enabled to fight Satan all the more effectually. The Observer promulgates the startling Information that the ‘‘combat deepens,” and declares that ‘‘a great work ought to be done this Winter, not only in frustrating the pres- ent schemes of the Romanists to obtain fur- ‘ther control of our city educational and charitable institutions, but in securing con- stitutional and legislative enactments which shall prevent the disbursement of the public fands for any and all sectarian purposes.’’ The Jewish Times asks if it ‘is not a burn- ing shame that in a city like New York, with ‘a Jewish population of something like eighty ‘thousand, no Jewish literary society worthy ‘of the name should be in existence; nothing be ‘done to foster and encourage historical, scientific or socialistic pursuits; nothing for the improvement of the intellectual condition -of our brethren ?”’ Here is a rich field in which our wealthy Hebrew fellow citizens can plant a few dollars with the certainty of reaping a bountiful -reward in the future. The Basest of Murderers. Each érime bas its gradations. Though the ‘theft of a million and of a dime are alike ‘breaches of low, we look with different feelings upon the pilferer of a loaf and the purloiner of a railroad. So of that now fear-- fully common offence of cfiminal homicide. We may look with some compassion upon an -honorable man roused to uncontrollable pas- sion by the cruel persistency of a grasping ‘ereditor, demanding dues which cannot be paid, if, in his wrath, an impetuous blow lays his tormentor lifeless at his feet. Still, we all admit the justice of the sentence by which society claims the murderor's life as expiation for the crime. Each one of all the score of ‘homicidal culprits who now crowd the Tombs bas characteristic features of repulsive horror. Yet some of them have points which wvemind us that they still are human. Of all the degraded wretches who ‘invite the hangman’s halter none are more ‘base and loathsome than they who, after liv- ‘ing upon the shame of enslaved and brutal- ‘ized women, end by taking their lives upon -some drunken occasion of jealousy or pique. Is it not fiendish enough for these libels on manhood to seduce the innocent and fair, to consign her to a living death, to sell her body | and soul to the beastly abuse of the vilest, and live in riotous debauch upon her gains? The miserable speculator in degradation hardly adds to his guilt when he putsa bloody end to the life of the victim whom he assumes to “protect.’’ Even the broken, frail women ‘who fall before this class of murderers are entitled to live, and their slayers should feel the sure vengeance of the law. So lax has the administration of justice become that it may be stated as an axiom that murder, the highest crime, -is the one least liable to receive punish- ment. The chief value of criminal justice is its effect in preventing crime. To be useful a penalty should be as inevitable “as thé succession of effect to cause. No matter what the kind or degree of penalty for an offence, its chief efficiency flows from its certainty and reelerity of execution. So long as we have murderers kept months in the Tombs untried, or allowed in the end to escape unscathed, we may expect our daily dose of monstrous sensa- tions. Let us reform our criminal procedure, secure prompt trials, honest convictions and faithful executions, and crime would soon de- crease. The brutes who live in drunken riot by criminal and shameless tyranny over fallen women should find that when they make even the weakest human being a target for pistol practice, hanging is not ‘‘played out.’’ For them, if for no others, outraged society de- «mands a short shrift and a long rope. Latter Day Christianity. We thought that the clergyman who de- clined to pray over the body of George Hol- land, because of his profession, was the last of « bigoted generation; but alas! our thoughts were too charitable. Not long since we were told of ministers of the Gospel who recoiled from being contaminated by assisting in the establishment of a foundling hospital, .and within a few days we have heard of pious pas- tors refusing to officiate at the last rites of a murdered girl, ‘‘because of the erratic course she had pursued in life.’ And these men pretend to be Christians! Did they ever read the New Testament? Do they recall the teachings of Him to whom they bow as Mas- ter? “Judge not, that ye be not judged.” “Blessed are the merciful, for they shall ob- tain mercy.”” ‘Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the king- dom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in theaven.’’ And what is that will? To comfort the afflicted, to rescue the despised and unfor- tunate. Do these most righteous men remem- ber the story of Mary Magdalene? Do they remember the Pharisee who rebuked Jesus for allowing the approach of that woman which wasasinner? Can they repeat the Master's reply to Simon ?—‘‘There was a certain credi- tor which had two debtors; the one owed five hundred pence, and the other fifty; and when they had nothing to pay, ho frankly forgave them both. Tell me, therefore, which of them will love him most?” Verily, Christianity is but a name when its professed followers refuse to walk in the footsteps of their Teacher. It must disturb these Pharisaic souls to know that after His resurrection Christ appeared first to one of those erring sisters, whom they repudiate even in death, and we marvel that they do not invent a religion warranted to wash only such well-to-do respectable saints as have no need of soap.

Senator from Missouri. If Cockrell should be elected there will be # good chance for the democrats to crow. The Church and State Conflict in Germany. Prince Bismarck is, we think, unnecessarily persecuting the Catholic Church in Germany. His latest is a harsh movement towards the Catholic Church in Prussian Poland. We are willing to admit that Bismarck is fighting a good fight in the interest of civil and religious liberty. He fights hard, however—it may be toohard. Russia has not gained by her harsh treatment of the Poles under her authority. In Poland Russia has found another Ireland. The Poles are well disposed towards Austria, but they dislike Russia. Austria, by her gen- tle and kindly treatment of Galicia, has won over the Poles. Fora time it did seem as if Prussia, or, rather, the new German Empire, would make a bold stroke to win over the Poles and make Poland. a unit on the side of Germany. This pleas- ing thought is no longer to be indulged. Bismarck has adopted a course which must ultimately have the effect of alienating all Polish sympathy for the welfare and success of the German Empire. Bismarck ought to know that no government can win its way to the heart of a people if the policy of the govern- ment is in direct opposition to dominant religious sentiment of that de peomre a few good, well-meaning, honest and religious people in Poland are pleased to place their church under the special protection of the Most Sweet Heart of Jesus, why should Prince Bismarck object? Bismarck, how- ever, seems to be animated by the spirit of Luther, and we must wait to see how this fight will end. For the present it is a doubtful question, and Bismarck's, although a brave, is a doubtful policy. Bustvess Garns—Duzcrstons or THE Sv- PREME Court.—The United States Supreme Court has just decided an important question, under the Internal Revenue law, as to what are gains subject to taxation, or, more directly, whether an advance in value of government bonds was subject to tax as gains. It appears that the case was one in which a collector of internal revenue was against Darlington. The col- lector claimed a tax on the sum of twenty thousand dollars advance in the value of gov- ernment bonds held by Darlington. ‘The case was decided against the collector in the Circuit Court, and then went up by appeal to the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court con- firmed the decision of the lower Court. The judgment of the highest judicial tribunal stands, then, that the accretion of value in government bonds is not, under the Internal Revenne law, to be considered as gains subject to tax. Tue Arpany Journal (administration) asks, “Where are Mr. Schurz and his independent friends to stand?” and adds, ‘‘as a natural consequence the mass of liberals will soon be found gravitating unmistakably to one side or the other.’’ It would take a very powerful microscope to discover where that ‘‘mass’’ of liberals was located at any time during the late campaign. Where it now gravitates is a matter of no consequence to any party. PERSONAL INTELLIGENCE. E. N. Zaika, of Russia, has arrived at the St. Nicholas Hotel. General L. p.

But a Western paper asks, “Why so?’ and suggests that if “we havn’t done as well as we might ina hundred years, let us rejoice that we have done no worse.” Mrs. Stanton is both sorry and glad that Greeley is dead.

Parliamentary Impugnment of Petitions for Dis- solution—Gambetta’s Defence of the Na- tional Demand—Monarchist Assault on Communist Radicalism. TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD. Paris, Dec. 14, 1872. During the reguiar afternoon session of the leg- islative body at Versailles to-day M. Duval asserted that the petitions which were being brought for- ward for the dissolution of the Assembly were irregularly signed and were, evidently, the work of agitators. M. Gambetta dented this assertion. He said the country had given successive and significant mani- festations of its dissent from the policy of the Assembly by returning republican candidates in most of the recent elections, wherein democrats had been successful over monarchists even in the ancestral districts of the latter. The crisis through which the government had just passed rendered the people’s desire for the dissolution of the As- sembly universal and invincible. He would refute these calumnies upon his party, He defied the monarchists to establish a monarchy, declaring that “neither would a King accept nor the people ratify.” Here M. Gambetta was passionately interrupted from the Right. M. d’Auditfret-Pasquier followed with a speech violently attacking the radicals, He declared that the horrors of the rule of the Commune in Paris were the truits of the application of their principles of government.

BERLIN, Dec. 14, 1872, The circulation of rumors of Prince Bismarck's resignation of the presidency of the Prussian Council excites much newspaper comment. The journals of this city all discuss the matter, the tenor of the opinions thus far expressed being that Prussia is the heart of Germany; that the leadership of Prussia in the affairs of the Confedera- tion is essential to the leadership of Germany in the affairs of Europe, and that Prince Bismark’s retire- ment from the Prussian Council is likely to lead to an important crisis in the politics of the country.
