I accept the battle thus imposed upon me in fulfilment of my kingly duties and in firm reliance ‘on God, to whose help we look for victory; but -aiso in the spirit of regard for the creed of others nd of evangelical forbearance which has been Stamped by my lorefathers on the laws and ad- ministration of my States. The latest measures of my government do not infringe upon the Romish Church or the free exercise of their re+ ‘hgion by her votaries; they only give to the andependence of the legislation of the country some of the guarantees long possessed by other countries, and formerly possessed by Prussia, without being held by the Romish Church incom: wpauble with the tree exercise of her religion. I “was sure, and I rejoice at the proof afforded me by your letter, that the sympathies of the people of England would not fail ne in this struggle—the people of England, to whom iy people and my @oyal house are bound by the remembrance of any @ past and honorable struggle maintained common since the days of William of Orange. lbeg you to communicate this letter, with my hearty thanks, to the gentlemen who signed the Fesolution, and remain, yours (He BERLIN, Feb. 18, 1874. yi LHELM, What the Prussian Catholic Bishops Say. The Prussian bishops have (February 27), in view ‘of the late imprisonment of Archbishop Ledo- schowski and the punishment threatened to Several of themselves, and also in view of the sup- plementary ecclesiastical measures awaiting the Sanction of the German Parliament, addressed a folnt memorial to the Roman Catholic clergy and Jaity in Prussia, of which a German correspondent * dorwards the following summary :— The Archbishop of Posen has been imprisoned merely for refusing to sacrifice the ireedom of the Church and to deny the Catholic truth, The wharge brotght against them of being rebels to the State the bishops deny, ‘They have ever preached ‘obedience in ali humility to the temporal power in ail things iu which it can be rightfully claimed. ‘There is, however, &@ point where such obedience quust cease, for the Scripture says, “We ought to obey God rather than men.” The bishops take ‘eredit for having sought to avold the conflict avhich they are wccused of originating. They fore- ‘saw that it must come along with the ecclesiastical Jaws passed in May last. They consequently earnestly implored the Crown to withhold dts sanction, The laws were, however, assed, aud that without the bishops being con- sulted. Rather were the apostate heretics who style themselves “Old Catholics” and are Protes- fants consulted, who have no conception of what jthe faith ana life of the Catnolic Charch consists in. Now, conscience dictates refusal to obey those daws, That, however, is not rebellion. Again, the Dishops have been charged with giving up the Church, by their persistent opposition, to utter ‘destruction. Tuat, again, is not true, should the Church be destroyed it will be owing to another's fault, and sooner must they run this risk than jeny the truth and thus desecrate the Church. jooner may the Church perish in its purity than be perverted through the saitilessness of its pastors! Christ founded, not ‘National Churches,” but one Watholic Church, He did not consequently entrust At to the care of temporal cliiefs, but to that of His @posties and their successors, and in order the Petter to preserve its unity He placed the supreme power over it in the hands of one man, Peter, and a successors, the popes, KAISER WILHELM.

Colman's celebrated comedy was presented at this house last night to a crowded audience, It is needless to refer to the well known plot of a piece which has won a foremost place among the pro- auctions of the English stage. Like most of the old class comedies, it is rather trying on a theatri- | cal company, as every part requires to be played by | an actor of more than average intelligence. Every personage has a role assigned to him which | Teqguires to be carefully and artistically drawn, | not merely sketched, and the best praise that can be given to the company at Wallack’s is that they were found tully equal to the demands Made upon them. John Gilbert reappeared as Lord Duberly, a character in which he has already won the uighest comedy honors, The picture of | the vulgar old chandler suddenly raised to the rank of a lord is one of the best ever offered on the stage. Itis complete and harmonious with | itself, and 18 marked by that delicate shading Which only the true arcistic iustinct enables the artist to convey to his impersonations, Jonn | Brougham as the charlatan, Dr, Pangloss, brought | his rich sense 1 the ridiculous to play, and the scenes between the upstart lord and the iearned ass were truly = delightiul asa piece of acting. Harry Beckett as Zekiel Homespun was forcible and dramatic, and gave excellent local color to the good-hearted but simple clown, The Dick Dowias of Mr. Arnott was aiso a strongly Marked piece of acting, out there was, periaps, the least thing too much of the lord in the law- yer's clerk and not enough of the lawyer's clerk | in the lordiing. Madame Ponisi as Lady Duberly showed an excellent appreciation of the weakness carried off the houors from her younger com- | panions, who were, however, very efficient in their | roles. Mr, Holland as Kenrick acted conscien- | ciously the part of the honest old Irish vant, and made the character quite effective. ‘The au- | dience were highly pleased and frequently gave | Marks Of their satisfaction. Lyceum Theatre—Aimee’s Opera Bouffe. “La Fille de Madame Angot’’ was the attraction last evening that drew a very large audience to the pretty little Lyceum to welcome back Mile, | Aimée and her company from their extensive | traveilsin Southern climes, Since the first pro- duction of this opera on August 25, 1873, at Daly’s | Broadway Theatre, it has proved the most popular | in Mle, Aimée’s extensive répertoire. It may not | be of equal musical value to the “Fleur de The” of the same composer, Lecocq, which Grau brought out a few years ago, but it has witty dialogue, constant action, champague-like music ana “go’' in it trom beginning to end that cannot fail to please the general public. As the cast differs in no respect Irom that which marked its former representations in this city, and as the Artists of the company have not deteriorated from. their former excelence, tt is unnecessary to enter ito detatls regarding last evening's periormance. The opera will be given every night this week,'and Will be succeeded on Monday bext by “La Vie | Parisienne.” ‘he Aimée troupe has met with re- Mmarkable success during their late tour, receiving | $107,000 tor an eight weeks’ season at Havana, and | $59,000 (gold) for seven weeks in Mexico.

If any certain idea can be caught from the | Pleased expressions of an audience the play of | “Davy Crockett,” produced last evening at Niblo’s Garden, was successful Successtul, not because of any sensationalisms to excite and keep the curiosity rampant, but made so through the interest in a pure love tale told in @ healthful, dramatic way.

The mélange of specialty artists, | eccentric and character actors, dancers and comedians, _turnished a ' sprightly and agreeable entertainment from beginning | to end, The ‘en of performances included the Berger Family, with their heautiful effects upon the silver Swiss bells, silver staff bells and crystal | chimes—the latter @ really exquisite affair; solos | upon the silver cornet, the extraordinary tacial delineator, Mr. Sol Smith Russell, who has made a decided hit, and many other mirth moving fea- tures, For a variety entertainment esseutiaily | creditable in nearly every particular the New York people have seldom before enjoyed one equal | to that nightly presented at the Olympic.

A ROYAL GERMAN TOUR. ieee Prince Frederick Charles to Travel Round the: World. JELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD: Lowpon, Merch 10,1874, to such reimbursement is practicable and expe- | dient,” has submitted to the Senate a report on | that subject, the inquiry having been brought about by petitions from citizens of Kansas praying Congress to provide for the payment of the amount of losses sustained on the frontier, as reported by the commission appointed by the Kansas: Legisla- ture in the year 1870. The following is Senator Morrill's report, adopted by the committee:— ‘Lue proposition submitted by the resolution of the Senate 18 whether ao obligation rests upon the | government to reimburse States and Territories and the citizens taereof for expenses and damages sustained by reason of the incursions of hostile Indians, The committee are not able to perceive Upon what grounds such obligation can be sup- posed to urise. Most certaimly such obligation 1s hot assumed when the States enter the Union; nor is it believed thas it necessarily results trom their relation to it When 80 admitted. Doubtiess an ob- ligation to reimburse expenses incurred in resist- | ing an invasion of the public enemy might arise if duly calied upon under circumstances justiying such Cail for aid, but it 1s sufficient to say that no such question arises upon the proposition submit- ted—viz., “An incursion of hostile Indians.’ It is een to be presumed that the public safety would become so largely involved by the mcursions of marauding parties of Indians 4s to render it necessary for the State to appeal to the United States government for aid to defend its soil or the property or persons of its citizens. And if not, certainly no such obligation as is suggested would be imposed, The case cannot be otherwise in re- | ears to the Territories unless the expenses have een incurred by authority of the United States, The duty of protecting its citizens rests primarily with the States, and it is not perceived that, under circumstances such as are supposed, that duty couid be devolved upon the United states. The City of Petersburg Deprived of the Right of Self-Government—The Possi- bility of National Interference, The Virginia Legislature, a short time ago, passed a bill which virtually deprives the city of Petersburg of authority to elect its municipal oMcers. It is asserted thatthe reason of this action was that Petersburg is the only repubiican city in Eastern Virginia. Mr. Plats offered a reso- lution to-day for federal interference in this mat- ter, butit is probable that no legislation will be necessary. it is wndersiood that Governor Kemper Will veto this bill. Unprecedented Increase in the Sale of Postage Stamps Since the Abolition of Franking. The Third Assistant Postmaster General issued to Postmasters during February ordinary postage stamps valued at $1,222,697; ordinary stamped envelopes, $318,893 87; postal cards, 54,780; offl- | cial postage stamps and stamped envelopes, $36,216 30: the total value of all the tssues being $1,632,567 17, an increase of $255,514 96, or more | | | | than eighteen and a half per cent over February, 1873. Deducting the amount received for ofMcial stamps, &c., and the | increase in the ordinary issues over the corresponding month of last year, the result shows an increase of nearly sixteen per cent, The un- usual demand for postage stamps is largely attrib- uted by officials of the department to the abolition of the iranking privilege, as the increase hereto- fore has averaged less than seven per cent. Representatives To Be Sent to Arkansas in the Judicial Investigation of tie Western District. General Butler, who has heretofore resisted any motion to permit the Committee on the Expen- ditures of the Department of Justice to investigate the expenditures by the judicial officers of the Western district of Arkansas, has at last become convinced that that committee 1s the proper one to have charge of the matter, and will to-morrow himself move to lay on the table the motion to re- consider the vote whereby the committee was | authorized to send for persons and papers. It is probable that Messrs. Speer, of Pennsylvania, and | Willams, of Massachusetts, of the committee, will | be sent to Arkansas to take the testimony, and the impression is that they will ugearth the most outrageous frau ds, The Investigation of the Ocean Na: tional Bank—The Testimony. The sub-committee appointed to investigate the affairs of the Ocean National Bank retarned from New York this morning. Tne examination of wit- | nesses will not be resumed for several days. The testimony already taken shows that the bank was closed in consequence of the action of the New York Clearing House, and based upon the report of its committee, and,’ after carer examination into the condition of the bank, no evidence has been presented tending to prove that any conspiracy was formed between the officers of the bank and parties on Wall street to | bring about the failure, or that any person had | been previously agreed upon as a receiver, or that the assistance of any oficial at Washington was obtained in aid of any conspiracy to close the | bank. The testimony relates chiefly to the sale by | the receiver of certain bonds of the Portage Lake Canal Company and eee relative to the sale made by the claimants of the bonds, who were in- | debted to the bank at the time of its failure for | over $400,000, The Howard Court of Inquiry—Addition of Two New Members. The President has directed that Colonels Nelson A, Miles, Fifth infantry, and George Getty, Third artillery, be assigned as members of the Howard court of inquiry in addition to the officers Mab naily assigned to that duty. This increases the | number of tue members of the court from five to | seven. The Nomination of General McCook as Governor of Colorado.
