ROME AND AUSTRIA.| ‘Vatican Preparation for a Church Struggle with the Author- ity of the Hapsburgs. Imperialist Legislation for the Effacement of the Concordat, TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK KERALD. Rome, March 13, 1874. The Pope has written to the Austrian Bishops inciting them to use all their influence to prevent ‘the passage of the proposed ecclesiastical laws. Austrian Legisiation for the Effacement ¢ of the Concordat, The telegram from Rome, which we publish above, goes to show that the Poutitf, Pius 1X., is determined to prevent, if possible, the passage of ‘the Austrian civil bills which are destined by the imperial Vienna Cabinet to effect the effacement of the concordat with the Holy See. The Pope commands the aid of the prelates in Austria in resistance to the proposed legislation, and will thus, no doubt, provoke or create a state of affairs in the Austro-Hungarian territory almost ‘Identical with that which exists from the same cause in North Germany, THE AUSTRIAN BILLS FOR THE REGULATION OF THE cuuren. Inthe month of January last the Austrian Cabi- net entrusted Ministers Von Stremayr, Lasser and Glaser with the drawing up of a series of church regulation, or “religious,” bills, which it proposed to submit to Parliament at an early day. These re- ligious bills are of a very thorough character, and Weed out the last traces of the Concordat with Rome in the Empire. The drafts were made ready for the signature of Francis Joseph at an early day. It was alleged that the measures met his approba- tion still more readily after his return from his Visit to St. Petersburg. THE BILLS, The following is an abstract of the religious bills which were laid by the Austrian government be- fore the Reichsrath:— First—Biil tor reguiating the external affairs of the Roman Catholic Church, The trst and most important article of tiuls bill declares that ‘the patent of the Sth of November, 1855, (the Concor- dat), is entirely abolished.” No one is to be per- Mitted to hold any ecclesiastical office or venellce, Who is not an Austrian subject, ana whose moral nd social conduct is not u ceptionable. When @ vacancy occurs in an ecciesiastical office, and neither the Emperor nor the civil authorities pre- Sent @ candidate for the post, the Bishop is to no- Ufy the name Of the person whom he destines for the appointment to the provincial authorities. If the latter do not make any objection to the pro- posed appointment within thirty days of such no- Tification, the Bishop’s nominee may be duly in- vested in the vacant ofjce. An appeal may be made against the decision of the provincial author. Aties to the Minister of Cultus, and if the decision ‘against the appointment is coniirmed, the appoint- ment cannot be made. Article 6 provides that if the holder of an ecclesiastical appoimtment or ben- ifice shall be found gullty of any penal otfence, and the ecclesiastical authorities shall not carry out the orders of the government for his dismissal, the office or benefice shall be regarded as vacant, aud the civil authorities will provide jor the perform- ance of the temporal functions attached to the of- fice. Under article 9 every vacancy in an ecciest- astical office or benetice 18 to be ‘notifled to the civil authorities; and article 14 directs the Bishops also to inform those autnorities oj all degrees, pas- torals, &c., issued by them. sy article 15, if the government shouid find that public considerations Are Opposed to any ecciesiastical regulation aifect- dng public worship, such regulation is to be can- celled, Article 1s lorvids auy exercise of ecclesias- tical authority calculated to prevent the execation of the law. Second—Bill referring to religious corporations. Under article 1 of this bill no new religious society can be formed, or @ foreign society established, in Austria without the permission of the State. Such Pearatcd (articie 5) wiil not be granted if the ob- jects of the society are opposed to pubic order, Morality, or considerations of political economy. Under articles 8, 9 and 10, 1f the Inembers of any re- ligious society are iound guilty of proceedings “Which disturb or threaten public morality or do- mestic peace, or if the head of the suciety repeat- edly commits offences egainst public morality, etc., the society is to be dissoived.

Third—Bill tor increasing the incomes of the lower clergy out o! tue religious endowments of the country. Fourth—This bill provides for the legal recogni- tion of new religious bodies.

TELEGRAMS T0 THE NEW YORK HERALD. = ‘Lonpon, March 13, 1874. Mr. Gladstone has issued the customary note requesting the presence of his supporters om the | reopening of Parliament, At the same time he has written to Earl Gran- ville, saying:—“While discharging this duty I feel it necessary that I should explain what a circular could not convey with regard to my individual position, For @ variety of personal reasons I could not contemplate any unlimited extension of active political service. I désire my politicai friends to clearly understand that at my age I must reserve entire freedom to divest myself of the responsibilities of leadership at no dis- tant time. The need of rest will prevent more than my occasional presence in the House dur- ing the present session, I should be desirous betore the commencement of the 15%5 session to consider whether it would be advantageous to place my services for a time at the disposal of the hberal party, or whether I should then claim exemp- tion from the duties hitherto discharged. If, how- ever, there be reasonabie grounds to believe that instead of the course which I have sketched it would be preferable in the view of the party gen- erally for me at once to assume the position of an independent member, I should willingly do so, re- taining all my desire for the welfare of the party, and if a leader be chosen, or interim provision be made for the present year, my successor should receive every assistance he might seek or I could render.”’ PRESS OPINION OF THE EX-PREMIER’S POLITICAL PowEr, The Times of this morning tn a leading article says:—‘‘so long as Mr. Gladstone remains in the House of Commons he is the only possible leader of the liberal party. Every true liberal will ac- cept Mr. Gladstone's leadership on his own terms.” The Daily News says:—Mr, Gladstone’s name isa tower of strength. The whole body of the liberals regard him as their natural head. Any other person would only be the leader of @ sec- tion.” ELECTED FOR LIVERPOOL.

The strikers show an equai determination to hold out, There have been no threats or violence ‘WP; but, as a matter of precaution, extra police- men are employed to guard the factories at night. An idea of the importance of the morocco manu- facturing interest of Lynn may be obtained from the fact that during last year 2,000,000 skins were turned out, representing §n value $2,500,000, LOUISVILLE AND PORTLAND OANAL, Cincinnati, Ohio, March 13, 1874.

The last work of Verdi, with its superb cast, Grand music and brilliant mounting, has taken @ firm hold of the New York public. There was quite @ large and brilliant audience at the Academy last evening. Mile. Torriani has made the title role so attractive by her really clever | acting and artistic singing that a very large share | of the success of the opera may be attributed to her. Constantly improving and gradually working her way as a conscientious artist to the foremost ranks in her proiession, a very flattering | career may be predicted for Mile, Torriani, Last evening she gaye more than ordiaary spirit and | élan to the rdle of Aida, Miss Cary, whese (ull, round, sonorous contralto voice 18 aiways a source of pleasure, has mastered the many dillicuiues of the role of Amneris, and it 18 LOW an impersona- tion of great artistic value. The Radames of Sigaor Campanint is his best role, as tar as Ameri can Xperience is concerned; but he was sadly indisposed last night, and, although | he struggied gallantly against the debilitating effects of recent tilness and a cold, weir poonance was paintully perceptivie, Signor Del uente replaced Maurel in the character of Amonasro, aud acted and sang the rdle with the most commendable spirit and intelligence, The Ramfis o1 Signor Nannetti has lost none of its pristine charms and 1s as excellent and fresh now as atthe first representation of the opera, The chorus and orchestra in this opera are truly ad- mirabie, and, under the skiliul direction o1 Signor Muzio, surpass anything in either department we have ever had in this city. The matinée to-day will have “Lucia,” with the diva, Madame Nilsson, in tne title rdle, in which she has no living peer. Concert for the Benefit of a Composer- A very attractive musical entertainment was given last night at the pretty and commodiougs music hail of Mr. Decker in Union Square, There was a fair attendance and the receipts were larger than might be expected in the crowd of charity concerts now in progress. The concert was given for the benefit of the distressed family of Mr. How- ard Glover, and was organized and carried through successiully by the popular cantatrice, Mlle, Louis Leibhardt, ‘This lady sanga number ot at- tractive selections on the occasion, and was ably assisied by Miss Luckhardt, Mile, Drasdil, Messrs, Verner, Albites, Pease and Fritsch, Although the cloak oO! charity 1s sutticieut byampie to cover up any deticiencies, yet we must say that on this occasion there was nothing but hearty praise to be be- stowed upon the performance, Musical and Dramatic Notes.

Un Passion Sunday Rossini’s “Stabat Mater’ will be produced under the leadership of Herr Reinhardt Schmelz, The severe attack of illness under which Mme, Pauline Lucca has labored during the past week is happily at an end. The manager, Mr. Fred Rullmann, announces positively her reappearance in German opera, at the Stadt Theatre, on Monday evening as Azucena in “Der Troubadour.” The indtsposition ofsuch a great artist has been sorely felt by the German opera-goers 1n this city.

San FRANCISCO, Cal., March 13, 1874, The following despatch is received, dated Palisades, March 13:—“Yesterday, about five miles east of Battle Mountain, Nev., while the eastern bound passenger train Was passing the track began sinking and itis reported sunk for a distance of ten miles although the train passed over in safety.

A culvert and portions of the road are also washed away a short distance east of Golconda.

The force employed cannot repair the dam: to-night or to-morrow morning. bound passenger train has been placed on the side track here, also one freight train and a large cattle train. The uble is caused by the great quantity of watet coming down from the mountains during the late thaw.

It is storming now, an ow and hail are falling.” PETERSBURG'S CHARTER, age before A western RICHMOND, Va., March 13, 1874. The State Senate, in which the bill originated providing for a new charter for Petersburg, by a Vote of 26 to 13to-day sustained Governor Kemper’s yeto. The debate was most heated and exciting, the speeches of the conservative friends of the bill being denunciatory in the extreme of the Governor's action, while other conservatives as warmly sustained him. The Petersburg papers of to-day devote several | columns to severe criticisms and invectives, ‘The | Landmark and Virginian, of Nortolk, also have | severe editorials against the Governor.’ The Whig and Enquirer, of this city, deprecate the veto, while | the Dispatch sustains the Governor, The vote as to whether the bill should pass, not: Rpt pence Ad Governor's objections, is classified as follows :—Yeas, 13 conservatives; nays, 16 con- servatives and 9 republical PRISONERS UNLOCKING THEIR OELLS, PHILADELPHIA, March 13, 1874, Marcus Ch: ‘an, alias Charles Carpenter, bank forger, and Jack Shipman, & pickpocket, hail- ing from Easton, escaped from the Doylestown Jail last night by anlocking their cell door with false keys and scaling the walls with ropes made of their bedcioting.

Probably this was what Grant was waiting for. While he has never talked about running fora third term, neither in his second inaugural nor on any other public occasion has Grant ever said one word against it. It would have been the most proper and natural thing in the world, when he took the oath of office the second time, if he had entertained no secret purpose of taking his chances tora third term, to have alluded to his coming retirement, But he did no such thing. Neither then nor on any subsequent public occasion has he mtimated his intention to retire at the close of his present term. It is understood that he does not in private talk about the subject in any way. It is nut prob- able he has ever said a word to Butler in reterence to it. It is not necessary; it would ve putting himself too much in butier’s power; nor is it on this topic that Butler addresses the President. He has other and more natural points of contact. AMENITIES OF JOURNALISM. {From the New York Tribune.] We know of notning more thoroughly provincial and more certainly indicative of a tnird-class paper than the habit of saying, “A morning jour- nal publishes so and go,” or “An evening contem- porary argues so and go.” I the paperds worth quoting it is worth naming. THE WIDENING BREACH. {From the New York Tribune.] It will doubtless tuke General Schenck, and most other leading republicans who have been out of the country tor some years, @ good while to find out—what they are fluding very rapidly in Bos- ton—that the republican party is not now in power, and that, it is not already in direct con- Nict with the party that is in power, it is lable to find itseif in that predicament at any moment. WHAT FRANOE WAS TO HAVE PAID, [From the London Times.)

The power of the press 1s enormous, and it | goes on increasing year by year, while the force of no other form of persuasion or authority (except the law) is fully maintained, perhaps. Thereiore, unless it continue to be controlled ia @ patriotic, judicial and lofty spirit—if it become the instrument of club arrangement and parlor conspiracies—inas- much as it becomes the tool of secretaries, of dem- agogues, of the fou furicuz, of servile capitalists | with drawing rooms to conquer, or even of the Tagiog sincere pedants who are now beginning to iniest 1t, the press Will soon be not only an enor- mous power, but an enormous peril. We coniess that, for several years past we have been op- pressed with an apprehension that the time was nigh when this danger would appear unmis- takably; but the events of the last fortnight have shown that its time 1s not yet. After agay and glorious period of service journalistic hunkeydom meets with its reward. It retires irom the dickey— epaulets, stick, buttons and all—with the painiul | consciousness that a ribald public has been laugh- ing at the straw in its magnificently padded calves for along time. The people generally, we find, are as ready to detect insincerity and bom. bast, as ready to contemn the come-for-to-go-for- to-fetch-for-to-carry gentleman of the press, with re Li? inspirations and emotions, as may well be esired, A DISSOLVING PARTY. [From the Philadelphia Press, March 6.) Men in such a crisis as the present are nothing | gave ag indexes of a system.

But the present power of the combination is greater than it has ever been; never has the general danger been so imminent; and, yet, as if vo prove this statement, never has the submission to this despotism been 80 complete, The chains are drawn so tight and riveted so close that the victims are atraid to groan, and so purchase reilef by praises of their oppre: .

PirtsburG, Pa., March 13, 1874. The first direct onslaught on the saloons of Pitts- burg by weeping and musical women has been Inade, and, instead of being crowned with tne success which such visits were fruittul of else- where, it was given the cold shoulder and /diled entirely, Headed by Mrs. Rev. Andrews and with a beau- tiful young lady of nineteen bringing up the rear, the delegation moved on the saloon of Charley Noser, on Forty-first street. Noser was first asked to sign the pledge, but he refused and could not be persuaded, ‘Then he was asked to per- mit prayers to be oilered up im his piace, which he refused with equal obstinacy, No amount of pleadings could move him to admit the weeping and prayerful ladies. Finding all entreaties in vain, the ladies telt compelled to raise the siege and retire; but it was not done Without some exhibition of great feeling. M Andrews seemed deeply affected, and as she w leaving her eyes were flooded with tears, She turned once more toward the saloon keeper, and in a choking voice offered up a fervent prayer lor Noser and then quietly withdrew. Noser has had a banner painted with the iollowing device upon t: “The ladies have called, but we haven't surren- lered.”? ‘This is hung to the breeze as anemblem of the first victory over the crusaders. Although this, the first attempt, was a lailure Noser reluctantly admitted that tue tears ot ladies were diMcult to withstand, and atone time he was much affected and felt like calling them back and teiling them to come in and pray as much as they had a mind to, Zealous Labors of the Ladies in Harris- burg, Pa. i HARRISBURG, Pa., March 13, 1874. The temperance excitement continues to in. crease here. The committee of the ladies who called on the clergy and editors asking for their co-operation reported at their meeting this after- noon quite favorably.

They propose to appoint a committee of ladies trom each church to canvass the city to procure signers to the pledge, and also to ask property holders not to lease their buildings after the pres- ent lease expires or the use of seileis of liquor.

NEWDURG, N. Y¥., March 13, 1874. At five o’clock this afternoon the rite of con- firmation was administered to a class of twenty- nine persons in St. George’s Episcopal church, in thts city, by the Right Rev. Horatio Potter, D.D., LL.D., Bishop of the diocese of New York. At the conclusion of the services the Bishop addressed a few remarks to the class appropriate in view of the step which they had just taken, and closed them by giving his views in regard to the excite- ment now prevailing in the Episcopal Church. He said :—If you hear of changes in the Church; if you hear o1 perils in tae Church; tf it must be that | there are some persons in the Church who empioy themseives in trying to create alarm, as if there were new dangers tireatening the Church, “possess our souls in peace,” in “full assurance of faith.’’ ‘his dlessed Church of ours—I say it reverently— like our Lord, is “th® same esterday, to-day and forever.” There is nothi which should give alarm to anybody. There are shades of opinion im this Church, as in every great ecclesiastical body; but consiceration and with the most intimate knowl- | edge of the whole state of the Church, there is nothing which should alarm—far irom it—any liv- ing soul. I had the pleasure of saying vo your venerabie rector but afew moments ago, when I gave bim my blessing, that in this diocese, as IL | find on travelling through its length and breaath, | there is the most earnest aad taitniul and truthful | work done on all sides by the clergy, and, I am | nappy to say, extensively and weil done by the laity too. We have reason to thank God ior what he is doing in the Church. Let us work earnestly, ana offer up our prayers to the great Head of the Church that His biessing in this holy season may descend upon us. AUGUSTA JOCKEY OLUB.
