Lieutenant Colonel Dodge on June 9 left camp No.7 on the east Iork o1 the Beaver Creek, accompanied by the government scientists, to begin the expioration of the country in the neighborhood o! Haney’s Peak. The route taken to reach French Creek has been circuitous ana the Joarney has eccupied a week.

Gold was found in the sotl mear the surface in a like quantity. The grass in the Val- ley ot French Creck had been vurning rapidly for | several qdays, having been fired by the miners. | There were prospecting holes all along tre streams and indications of ACTIVE MINING OPERATIONS. Six mimers were eugaged io working joint claims, and were constructing a sluice to factlit- tate their operations. On seeing the uniform of the United States Army they rau imio a narrow canyon, where their camp ts situated, withia ana | Ural fortress of rock, and one of them sternly | halted with a joaded gun an officer who tollowed them. Alter a parley they were informed that they would not be arrested at preseat, Colonel Dodge not having a sufficient number of men to periorm this duty and escort the scientific party at the same time. They then vol- | untarily gave an account of their journey trom Fort Laramie to the Hills, starting one day aiter the expedition, and having been here about | gweek, They emphatically assured us that there was plenty of gold all aiong the stream and | quartz lodes containing it in the Hilis.

A National Contest—Its Probable Issue. The Party of the Majority in Parliament Is the Party of the Minority in the Country. Free-Thinkers and Logicians Against Clerical Assumption and Divine Right. Bruees, June 17, 1875, Awalk through the quaint and silent streets of this old Flemish town suggesis most naturally this reflection—tnat the work of the Duchess Margaret | of Alva and of Alexander of Parma was only too Welldone. Protestantism was effectually stamped | out of Belgium, and Catholicism left to reign with- | out a rival tili at should encounter a more deadly | enemy than the faith of Luther or Calvin, It 1 | now face to iace with a hard, aggressive skepti- cism, Which 1s proving too strong for the preten- sions of the Church of Rome; but from heresy, trom “Old Catholicism”—in short, from any other form of religious belief—that church bas nowbing to fear, Here men are Ultramontanes or they regara all creeds with equal inaitference, if mot hostility. Forty-tive years ago, when the foundations of Belgian independence were laid, the statesmen who took part in that prosperous | work fondly hoped that in this country, once the cradle of liverty, a different spirit would prevail, ‘Thus Stockmar coula write to Leopold, telling nim that peoplein Belgium cared not what faith he professed so long ax he had a religion of some sort and conformed to its precepts, ‘fhe tact 13, Stockmar enurely underrated the depth and INTENSITY OF CATHOLIC FEELING in this country. Nowhere are monks and nuns 80 numerous asin Belgium, The ecucation of youth is completely in their hands, and while all 2redit must be given them lor the general excellence of their system of instruction, it must be allowed that it is not one calculated to foster liberal ideas, The clergy do not love that freedom unjer which they are so weil off, and if iberals have occasionally shown a want of respect toward religious ceremonies the attitude of the priesthood is one oi perpetual de- fiance toward those ideas which are inseparably associated with progress and civilization. A Jesuit father at Antwerp has lately been astonish- ing the congregation in the Ohurcn of Sainte Barbe by daily ascending the palpit witn a liberal newspaper in either hand. Agatust the contents of | these sheets he proceeds to rallin tne coarsest terms, What possible object there can be for this‘ strange performance except toinflame the pas- sions of his audience, it is hard to understand. In view of tne alarming number of casualties during the late riots, the Reverend Father’s action is neither more nor less ¢han an EXHORTATION TO A BREACH OF THE PEACE. The mischief alreasy done is serious enough. According tothe report of M. Van Verweke, sud- stitat du procureur du rot, or, as we mignt say, assistant District Attorney, as many as 533 per- sons were wounded in the late disturbance at Ghent, Snen a state of things amounts to civil war, which, though at present confined to the guerilla or irregular stage—if the expression may be allowed, threatens every day to develop into an organized strife, which would have tne effect of reducing Belgium to the level of Spain. OTHER SUBJECTS FOR CITIZKN CONSIDERATION. It must not be supposed that the whole ques- tion is merely one of religious processions, and of the measure of the periission walch ought to be accorded to Catholics to celebrate the public cere- monial of their Church. More weighty issues are ; ivolved in the far from wordy war which is The whole sudject of the relations between the eccle- Slastical and the civil power 1s being raised once more, and liberals generally are of the opinion that the Church must be made to acknowledge without reserve the absolute supremacy of tue State. Liberalism isin an angry and determined mood, and just now the principles of lineralism are triumpbing im every part of Continental Europe. In bis campaign against the Papacy BISMARCK is victorious along the whole line, and his friends in Belgium, though for the noace in the minority, | Jeol that they have in him a powerful supporter and that they belong really tothe winning side. Liberals are, moreover, strengthened by the gen- eral condemnation which public opinion 1s pro- ; mouncing against some recent excesses of the ultramoutane party, Thus some too zealous Catholics determined the other day to try the question as to whether a man should be allowed to bury his wife witn civil 1ites or whether he should be compelied to submit to the funeral ceremonial of the Church of Rome, and ' & CURIOUS LaW CASE Was the result, Tne wile of one Grégoire, a resi- dent of Brassels, lately died. Grégoire is a pro- fessed freethinker, and he always believed that his wife shared bis opinions, Nevertheless, being in the Hospital of St. John about a month before her death, she received the last sacraments of the Chureh without her husband being aware of the circumstance. She also expressed her belief in the truths of the Catholic religion, as her motver | and sisters testify, but never before her husband. On ber death, accoratugly, the wortny man, trmly convinced that his wi'e had remained a true sceptic to the last, determineu to give her a purely civil interment, Arrangements were made accordingly. When, however, the comin arrived at THE CEMETERY OF LARKEN, @ certain Father Bullens made his appearance Charen of Rome, when he was interrupted by Grégoire and his friends—members o! the société de |’ Afranchissement—with ioud cries of ‘A bas la catotte !"? which may be rendered by “Dowa with the blackfrocks! “he priest was not dis- | posed to retire irom the fleld without a contest, and @geueral scufie ensued.
