PERU. + Ecolesiastical Opposition to Free Schoo! Education. A Grand Church Row Over an American Class Book—Naval Organ zation for Evolutions at Sea—Relations Towards Bolivia and the United States, La, June 13, 1874, It 18 always an unfortunate affair for the rulers Of Peru, and for the interests of the country geu- | eTally, when the religious chords of popular opin- | jon are touched, ‘This has recently been the case, Your correspondent purposely avoided the subject im his last despatches, as the news wo hand was | somewhat contradictory. Now the matter be- ¢omes important. The facts are these:—The gov- sroment, after having established a capital system. )f common school education, almost gratis, hhvoughout the Republic, naturally conceived the jaca that to properly instruct the children tt was Aecessary to first place the means for so doing in Jhe hands of the masiers, As Pera rogards the | Onited States ae her model in almost every- hing, Mr, Pardo’s atvention was di- jected to the methoas employed by the “Great Republic,” as south Americans Aelight to call us, towards a thorough educational pasis for the principals of the scnools, [t was dis- sovered that @ uselul perivdical on common school education was pudlished in New York, and the | Miuister of Peru at Washington was ordered to dubscribe for a certain number of copies, to be translated and printed in Spanish and to ve sent | here jor subsequent distribution. This was done. | Yhe teachers, male and femaie, of the different establishments expressed themselves highly de- | lighted with a journal affording them so much | practical advice and information, and jor a time Ol went as merry ag a marriage bell, But @ Fran. | ciscan friar in Arequipa, the sleeping volcano of Pern, calied Marcia}, suddenly was pleased to dis- cover that tne periodical tn question was heretical in its tendencies, or, In other words, that it mildly | hinted to its readers their right to think and Judge for themselves, This gross outrage could not be endured, THE ZEALOUS FATHER | called together his flock. From his pulpit he anathematized the objectionable paper, stigmatia- ing it as ‘subversive of Christianity and obnoxious to the Catholic taith.” His hearers, principaliy com- posed ol ¢ yout feinaies on the shady side of jorvy, at arms with the world, the flesh and the dev ‘wibly because their qu ndam attractions en carelully overiooked by the nobier sex, dete mined upon ce.ebrating an auto da jé, and the fuel ior the tire was to be the new school book. So great was the excitement and so imminent the danger, the devotces and their adherents denouncing the government as anti-Catholic, from the circumstance of having placed the paper in the hands oi the toachers, that the Pre- ect of Arequipa 1ound himseli reduced to the cis. agreeable necessity of destroying ail the copics of the journal to be found, and of humiliating him- selfto such a devree as to inform the reverend romoter of the disturbance Of his action. He was | just in time.

THE CAVITAL EXCITED. When the news reached Lima the sensation was extraordinary, Arequipa, Jrom wience proceeded the flume of the religtous outbreak of i867, ter- Minating in the downiall of Presidvat Prado, was instantiy made tne object of unmeasured reproach, The Miuister of Puoiic Worssip addressed a vigor- ous remonstrance to the Bishop of the recalcttrant diocese, intimating in tue most anmustakable terms that if the reverend Marcial attempted the execution of any more of his dangerous projects he, the Bishop, would be held accountavie, accord. | ing to the strict spirit of the law. But tne re- ligious organ ot Lima, La Sociedad, openly accuses the administration of opposition to the third article. of the constitution, which declares that “the Catholic and Apostolic creed 18 that of the nation, and no other shall be allowed.” ‘The gist of this unwelcome erisis is tne great reluctance of the Catnolic or clerical party in Peru to allow any further innova- tions as regards what they seem 10 cousider their divine rights. intimately convinced o1 their weak- ness a8 @ body, adebility which increases datly, they pull all possible wires in the most promising places.

NAVAL EVOLUTIONS, Thefine squadron of Peru, consisting of four first class iron vessels, one irigate, one 1am and two monitors and several wooden ships, 19 avout to proceed to sea for the purpose of exercising the Men in the naval manccuvres, somewhat on the plan adopted recently by Admtial Foxnail Parker off Key West. The fleet is under the command of Commodore Grau, a most accomplished officer and navigator. No doubt the excursion will be re- garded with suspicious eyes by our neighbor Unili, since every movement of Pera 1s zealously watched by that Republic irom the time thac Peru stiongly manifested her sentiments with reference to ihe attitude of her neighbor towards Bolivia. The Peruvian navy, notabie lor tue success aciieved in bringiog the celebrated moutiors irom the Mi-sls- \Bippt to the Rimac, wiil probably gain fresh laurels | in this new endeavor.

When the Pope, more than twenty years ago, suddenly undertook the task of re-establishing the episcopal hierarchy in England, divided the ter- ritory into dioceses and gave to the bishops local titles a veritable tempest was produced in the | country, and the old ieaven of Protestantism rose | with violence against the Roman invasion. But | that did dot prevent the Papal institution from being established; and why ? Because tie Catholic | Church had nothing to do with the State; because | the En.hsh votaries of that creed were citizens like the othera, enjoying their civil and political rights, and because their religious com- munity was a free one by the sume title as all the other dissenting bodies, The luws wich she Pariiament attempted to make at that time were absolutely useless and remained une | applied, so that in the end they became obsolete, The Cathohe archoishops and bisiops bear their tities in tranquillity, and their cathedrals and churches are peaceably constructed under the pro- tection of the common law, The Pope pas never been ireer, hag never attacked and apostrophized governments with more majesty, haughtine-8 und courage than since he has ceased to be a temporal | sovereign.

But be- sides—and thisis tne Minister’s principal argu- ment—to pretend to regulate monastic institu. tions would be to recognize and legalize them, and | that is what the government refuses to do. Catho- le establisuments are iree and independent pre- cisely because they are not ackuowledged by the State. England has no concordat; she knows | nothing woatever of the Pope, and she has only at | Rome an attacné, or rather an agent, as was for 4 | long time Mr, Odo Russell, whom the Holy Fataer honored with @ special affection, In the samo way the Catholic bisnops are not recognized or | paid by the State; it takes no cognizance of them, and the religion itsell, wito 18 episcopal Mlerarcny, monasteries, convents, colleges and churches, sub- siais tranquilly in the common society whilat re- specting the civil law whicn protects it.

Several years ago a large number of capttalists, believing that the Passaic would in time becowe @ channel of commerce for the transportation of merchandise, memorialized Congress for the purpose of pro- curing an appropriation for the improvement of navigation in the Passaic. A bill mating the requisite appropriauion was subsequently passed by that body, and to-day the citizens o1 New Jer- sey not only appreciate but realize the benefits derived by the obtainance of such appropriation, On the east side of the river one dyke has already been completed, and the one on whe leit bank of the river is to a fair way of completion.

WASHINGTON, Jane 29, 1874, Within a few days we have had an evacuation of Washington like the stampede from Long Branch under the pressure of a heavy three days’ nor’easter in the last week of Augast. The glory of Israel has departed and the summer stagnation of tie national metropolis has fairly set tn. Silence reigns in the legislative chambers, the lobbies and committee rooins of the Capitol; the President and | most of his Cabinet and of the Corps Liplomatique | have disappeared; the dashing equipages of the | Weat End have been withdrawn from Pennsylvania avonue; the members of the third house, the lobby, have gone by hundreds frum the hotels and board- ing houses, leaving their “banquet halls de- serted;” the omnibuses and carriages since Tues- day evening last bave been going packed to the | raliway depots and steamboat landings and re- turning empty; the melanoboly hackmen sit lazily dozing upon thelr boxes under the shade trees, and the black bootblacks, even at “five centa a shine,” glut the market. Ina word, Washington is desertea, though not over 10,000 of its popula- tion of a week ago are missing, while 120,000 of tts people—80,000 whites and 40,000 blacks, more or | less—have resigned themselves to the situation and three months yet of the beat of Calcutta, Worst of all, the District of Uolumbia has deen robbed of 1ts magnificent Territorial government, and its magnificent Baron Haussann nas been laid on the table, and of his thousands of workinen in dirt, wood, asphait, brick, stone, earthen and lead piping, big pipe and smati pipe men, and of hie rkers in Sodding and shade trees and sewers and parks and fron ra‘lings, only here and there @ straggler remains, The “Boss” and his Ter- ritortal establishment have been swept away as | by a Parisian revolution, and a triumvirate of outsiders, ®& sort of provisional “government of with the tremendous task of beginning the work of releving tho District (including Washington | and Georgetown) from its heavy financial em- barrassments, To this end our new governing committee of three, ad interim, is author- ized to collect taxes to the amount of three per cent on real estate, tncinding church property, in addition to the two per cent already in force on private property, of which, for the immediate assistance of che city, Congress bas advanced $1,000,000, and has. made sometiing More than the annual average sum of appropria- | tions of the last ten years for improvements on public buildings, parks, reservations, &, THE DEBT ON THE DISTRICT, which, with the creation of its Territorial govern- ment, three years ago, it was ordained by act of Congress, should not be increased beyond the limit of $10,000,000, has been enlarged to the sum | of $21,000,000, But ask ex-Governor Cook and hig | energetic successor, Governor Shepherd, what has become of the $12,000,000 of $15,000,000 for which | they are responsible, and they will answer:— | “Look at Washington, Kemembering what it was, behold it as it is, Jt Was, | three years ago, a struggling collection Olshabby villages; itis now the most beautiiul Park, summer retreat, he has signally fatied in the first requiremonts of sade for pedestrians and equestrians. ‘They say’ that his ideas of ark improvements are drawn irom cloudy Eng. ind, where people, even in the hottést days of duly, are never struck dead irom exposure to the sun; but that these ideas will nut apply to th dry, bot summer climate of any part of the Unicey air is the first essential for @ public park. 1s consideration, it 18 to be hoped, will not be neg- lected by Mr. Olmsted in his improvements of the public grounds aronna the Capitol.

On the east the summit of the hill ts the general level of the city. Being thus much higher than the sloping hill on the west, the view from the level grounds on the east gives to | the Capitol front @ comparatively — squatty appearance, This ‘awback, Mr. Olmsted proposes to remedy by making an inelined plane of the eastern grounds descending some twelve or filteen feet to the level of the boundary street, 300 yards cast irom the building, the street | fiself having been cut down to this level in tie | general regrading of the streets by Governor Shep- herd. This improvement will involve the cutting Out of many beautiful trees of fity years’ growt! bat this view of the Capitol will be so lar improved 8 to pay ior this sacriice, On the west front, too, | many dine old trees are to be cit away to improve the view from diferent approaches to the building, | The western terrace 1s also to be considerably idened, and, as we learn, for the steep gree bil @ gray granite wall is t) be substitured, whic in the opinion ol man: tact tion of the white Vapitol, itis feared here that Mr. Oimated is too much devoted to granite and asphalt, and too little to lawns and flowers and trees, to be the best man for the improvements of the Capitol grounds, shade, Jawns and trees, which the climate and the long summer of Wasi ton require, It is even Charged that ta hig improvements of the Coutra: f judges, will bea shamerul | rier-Journal, & musician named Frank Lamadrid died of heart disease, as the attendant physicians report, alter being confined five days to his bed.

The ruts of the anctent cities of Southern Ari- zona are just now attracting considerabie atten- tion, Unttl recently the only information that nas come to the surface has been that Obtained from | adventurers, who, while passing through that sec- | tion in search of gold, have jotted down that which forced itself upon thetr vision during thetr hasty | transit. Many of these stories have contained | suc marvellous statements that they have been cast aside as cleverly written pieces of Action, as | the writers were unkuown, The murderous | Apaches are gradually giving way before the ad- | vance of civilization; are being huried back into | their moantalu retreats; into eternity and on to | reservations by General Crook and his soldiera, | and that most wonderful country ls soon to teem with the life and industry of white men. Arizona | | | countries in the world, and her valleys contain @ remarkably productive soil, under tue influence of irrigation. TRRIGATION CANALS IN PUEBLO VIBJO VALLEY. Mr. J. A. Parker, Superintendent of the Mon- tezuma Canal Company, whose works are located in Puebio Viejo Valley, Arizona, has arrived in this formation relative to that country. ‘The Pueblo | Viejo Valley lies sootn of and bordering on the | Gila River, and between it and the Granam range | of mountains, It 19 about 409 miles east of Yuma, | thirty miles north of Camp Grans and sixteen mules west of the New Mexico itne. ‘This valiey is about sixty miles long and averages tour inties ia | widtn, and contatns as fine agricultural agd gruz | Ing land as can be found anywhere, Abort a { ig four companies commenced the construction | of irrigation canals at this point and have now works. - A CHAIN OF CITTES TN RUINS. | Tn this beautiful and iertile vailey is & chain. of well-marked ruins of ancient ctites looated about | @ mile apart, In seme places the Walls of the | houses aulll show above the suriace the roling monands, irom. ten to. forty feet in Weight, covered with earth and vegetation, show | that ages must bave passed since they were lad | prostrate. Mr. Parker, who ts a man possessed of @n inquiring tura of mund, and is bac: by literary. attainments of @ high ordcr, nas deyoted most of his spare time during tie last year in researches | among these ancient rutns. The walls are coin- | within their limits indicate that ali the cities | were DESTROYED BY ¥FIKE. Among the débris are ound poitery, household | utensils and human bones; but as yet no warlike | implements have veen drought tohght, Tue human bones show unmistakable evidence of having been burned, and crumble to pieces wpon being | handted, Several ollas (pronounced o-yaoa)—jng © Shaped earthern vessels now used by the | Indians for holding water—were lound, | Which contained ashes, small pieces of | | human bones and fragments of charcoal, which | | would indicate that cremation .was practised by | that extinct people. Axes, hammers and siedges | of various sizes and shapes, and made trom stone | which 13 much heavier and harder than any now | known of, have been bronght to ght. One of these axes, found oy Mr. Parker, was tested by him. He | cut arod of iron in two with it, and no perceptible | effect was produced upon the axe by the opera. tion, This ree has been sent to the Wosld’s Fair for exhibttron, ANCIENT POTTERY AND RARM STONES. Mr. Parker has quite an extensive collection of pe of pottery which he dug out of these ruins, le brought with him to tae city several specimens, which he has presented to the Alta. ‘The vessels were evidently made of clay, which is now oi# dark gray color and as hard as stone, ‘The suriaces are | nicely glazed and covered with lines and charac- rs Ol diferent colors trom the work. One pieve a; a black surface, covered with yellow, irregular lines, and surrounded by a similar colored border ol Wedge shaped characters. Another piece 18 cov- ered with white and biack figures, the lines being more regular than in the other piece, and contain- ing on its surface what is known among printers asa ‘Roman border,” outside of which are ser- me rows of black and striped lines, the whole eae 4 surrounded by circular tines of white and ack. Among the collection before us 1s a white, trans | lucent stone, which iooks as if tt had bubbled out from @ seetaing mass ot the same material. It is flioty in character and will cut glass, There are | three smaller stones of the same variety, each con- taluing a-crimson hue, the smaller being quite red | and brilliant. Besides these there are two pebbies | ofebony hue externally, but which upon being held up to the ligat are periectly transparent. Oue | | of them bas been broken in two, and the suriace | presented 1s as smooth and brilaut as that ol a | polished crystal. A LAKGE CANAL AND RESERVOIRS, A care/ul examination shows that there is a Jarge canal extending from the Gila River, at the | eastern end o/ the valley, down through these | ancient cities, in each of whichis found a large | trangular-shaped reservoir, and containing from | three to five acres. These reserveirs have been | | reported by parties who have made buta casual examination of them as the rains of old fortiiica- tions, The edges of the canal and resetvoir are | laid with stone and are constructed in a very sab- stantial manner, Some of the reservoirs, waioh | Were six or eight leet ooh. are cut In two by | walls of masonry extending from side to side, STRANGE RUINS—WHAT WAS It ? On the bank of the Gila River, or about ten | miles below Florence, are the ruins of a most sin- | gular structure—a building flity-one by -Gity-seven | feet, built or adobe, which is now so bard that a | pick cannot be driven into it. There are two walis—a building within a building—which are | peparated gbout ten or twelve fect, and | which are between twenty-eight and thirty | inches thick at the base. In the wails, up about nine feet, aud extending en- | tively around the structure, was placed at the time the building was put up, a row of cedar | beams, which probably served to brace and | strengthen the buiiding. The ends of these tun- | bers, which are still in @ fair atate of preservation, show that they were consumed by fire, up to and, in some instances, part way through the wail, There are now three stories of the walls still standing, in one place. The windows are long and | narrow and seem to have been placed where they | were needed, and without regard to external sym- | metry. The doors are at the corners, At the ‘op ol the inside hare several round holes, about | the size ola hat, Tne art of plastering seems to have been perfect in those days, a9 the inner wall | ig still smooth and of & yellowish white color. | | What this building was used for can only be con- | | who conterred to is Known to be one of the richest mineral bearing | i city and from bim we have obtained a fand ofin- | p, completed irom three to six miles euch ol their | y | datothers | jy | posed Of rough stone, laid in mortar, Hxcavations | RE D ll —_—- OF GREAT THE HOME RULE CONFEDERATION BRITAIN, (From the Irish Times, June 17,] The Irish Home Rule Voniederation of Great Britain holds a general council at Manchester to» morrow, previous to @ banquet which is to be given to Mr, Isaac Butt, M.
