THE CHURCH QUESTION IN BELGIUM. Special Penal Legislation Against Fanatical Conspirators. DUCHESNE’S ACQUITTAL. The Crown's Accession to the Demands of Germany. “AN OFFER TO COMMIT CRIME.” Bismarck Satisfied—A Libe- ral Victory. Bruaes, June 22, 1875. On the acquittal of Duchesne, the would-be aesassin of Prince Bismarck, because there was no law under which he could be convicted, it was felt by the most sensible men of ail parties in Belgium that the question of a reform oi the penal code pressed fur consideration. A Catholic Cabinet did not hesitate to take up the subject, and on the 8th inst. the Minister of Justice laid a bill before the Chambers which expressly provides for the punishment of persons who shall offer to commit crime which is punishable at law by fleath or imprisonment with hard labor. This bill was referred to select committee, which has just publisned tts report, approving, with a few slight reservations, tbe Ministerial project of law. Thos Belgium kas practically acceded to the DEMANDS OF PRINCE BISMARCK, and has acknowledged the justice of tne repre- sentations made by Germany. Although acleri- val Minister is the author of the new law, its en- actment will be regarded as a victery for liberal and the government will be supposed to have yielded to the pressure of public opinion rather than to bave acted on its.own initiative. Nor can it be denied that tne alteration of the Belgian code In the sense suggested by tne chief opponent of | the Papacy 1s, to a certain extent, a moral tri- umph jor those who take the side of the State in the great contest; for their fears are thus .ad- mitted to be not altogether groundless and their propositions far irom unreasonable. As to the general question, whether the law should take notice of OFFERS TO COMMIT CRIMES, there 1s considerable diversity of opinion. Those who have merited the name.of liberal have for many generations been extremely unwilling to encourage what may be called the manufacture of constructive crimes, as putting too formidable a weapon into the hands of the Executive with which to molest his political opponents, Thus for wearily tour centuries the defenders of English lib- triles strove to maintain in its integrity the famous Statute of Treasons passed in the reign of Edward If], Students of history will remember how courtly lawyers and, unfortunately, courtly Jadges, too, were enijeavoring to extend the meaning of the phrase, “levying war against the king,’’ till a mere letter, only hinting at the posst- bility of civil war, came to be regarded as sum- cient for material for constructing a charge of treason. This tendency of English law naturally caused the most innocent men to walk about in fear and trembling, afraid to speak a word or write a line that might not be misconstrued to their ruin. It was doubtless in those bad times vhat the saying arose, which has been attributed to Eldon:—“Give me five lines of a man’s hand- writing andI will hang him.” ‘The last addition to the ORIMINAL CODE OF BELGIUM is fraught with dangers of 'a similar kind, which Were well indicated by the celebrated Rossi nearly hala century ago. It was impossible, ne ob- served, to stigmatize a mere proposition as a crime, The law could never be certain whether the words which forméd the ground of the accu- sation were correctly reported, whether they Were spoken in earnest, and, he might have added, whetner they were written in carnest; whether they expressed a fixed determination to commit a crime or were merely an ebullition of anger. Again, he pointed out with reason that in the trial of a man fcr proposing to commit a crime, the evidence relied on would be necessarily tainted, being by Its very nature a breaca of con- fidence. A CASE NOVEL IN ITS ATROCITY. Yet it is evident that Rossi never contemptatcd 80 peculiar a case as that of Duchesne, where an honorable man was the unwiiling recipient of a proposal from a scoundrel which it was clearly | bis duty tomake known to the proper authori, Hes. It woula have been absurd to attempt to Shrow discredit on the siatement of the Arch- bishop of Paris, even if Duchesne had not admit- ted his guilt. The oversight on Rossi’s part is the more curious, ot offers of ast ssination, and it is evident that, in the interests of society, itis undesirable that a | person who has seriousiy expressed an intention of murdering another should be at large. Without discussing the measure of criminality which is im- plied in an intention, one might suggest that, as a matter of precaution public safety, the intending homicide should be prevented from carrying out his plans, in what is the only effective method—viz., locking Mm up. As dail 18 not given to men accused of murder more stringent measures of restraint would seem to be justifladie in the case of a would-be murderer than simply binding him over to Keep the peace. CONSTITUTIONAL LEGISLATION. The government pill, it shoula be added, is framed somewhat in the spirit of an English act ol Parliament, Jor it 1s extremely restricted in its scope and is only meant to remedy one deficiency in the law and no more—it seeks to lay down no new general principles, Thus itenacts that an offer to commit @ crime shall be punishable, but only if the offer was made for # valuable consider- ation—that is, for money or a promise of money. Duchesne proposed to murder Piince Bismarck for a given sum of money, and there was nolaw by which his particular offence could be reached; accordingly Belgian statesmen are content to make @ law which shali meet precisely similar vases in the future, but they go no further. The iasuence of ENGLISH IDEAS % very evident in this extreme legislative cau- tion. In fact, close observers have been inclined to divide Belgians politically into tbree classes Apart from the grand distinction between clert- | cals and itberals, There are the English, the French and the German parties, To begin with the last, many ambitions citizens of this littie Btate would prefer to become citizens of the Ger- man Empire, They would wish their country, While retaining its own laws and its own Parila- ment, to enter the imperial federation and to be, militarily and diplomatically speaking, completely absorbed in the Fatherland. It 1s needless to ray that this Germanizing party is exclusively com- posed of iiberals, but liberals in the re- stricted German rense of the wora— viz., anti-Catholics, but not lovers of dem- ocratic ideas. The most august personage {n the reaim would probably, tf he thougnt is pru- fenttoexpress his private sentiments, be tar from unwilling to accept such a position as is at present held py the Kings of Saxony and Wur- bemoerg. His own sympathis are naturally Ger- man and Protestant, and he is almost a member ofthe imperial family. Moreover, there are CERTAIN REVOLUTIONARY ELEMENTS at work in Belgian society which menace, how- | ever remotely, the security of his throne. ‘Once, however, a Prince ef the Empire, he woula be Guarded by that mighty force which, ofMfcerea as | tt is by nn aristocratic bierarchy, must for long years to come be the firmest detender of the mon- hy and its Kindred institutions. THE FRENCH PARTY in Belgium 18 composed of heterogeneous mate- uls, Many Catnolies teel a warm attaoment to the Jjand where the Catholte Church 1s still so “rong, They would mot exactly wish to history presents many examples | for the | NEW YORK HERALD, FRIDAY, JULY 9, 1875.-TRIPLE SHEET. smaller State annexed tothe larger; but should a clerical party ultimately prevail in France they would like to see a close alliance between the two for the iurtherance of a common eb- the restoration of the temporal power of the Pope, or, at least, the establishment of his complete independence on the basis of interna- tional guarantees.

Strikes | are of alarmingly frequent occurrence in Bel- | gium. Here the International is most powerful | and workingmen are most deeply imbued with the doctrines of socialism. The socialist and the radical in Belgium is strongly attracted to the country of Fourier and Saint-Simon, He reads its literature and watches with intense interest the endless political Grama which is being un- folded in lis history, He cures little for his Bel- gian nationality, bat dreams, like Anacharsis Klootz, ot THE UNIVERSAL REPUBLIC, the chief provinee of which sball be France, the language French and the capital that Paris, which, in spite of the war, remains tne intellec- tual centre of Kurope. THE ENGLISH PARTY. The aims of tne English party are widely differ- ent, even as the thougnts of a respectable grocer | and a Bohemian journalist are not the same, The | commerctal class lnclines to the English connec- | Uon, that ts to autonomy ander a British protecto- rate, as the obligation on the part of Great Britain | to maintain the integrity of Belgian territory | must be regarded. The trade of Belgium with England is large, and the material interests of an influential and wealthy portion of the population are bound up init, Then the crowds of American and English tourists, the former of whom are es- pecially popular, and who spend money and pring American ana English books and newspapers into the country, help to diffuse a number of Anglo- Saxop opinions on the liberty of the imdividual, the limits of governmental power and the rela- tions of the Church to the State, which are not | | in Belgium, The Belgian of American or English | views would naturally be a liberal, but he would not understand why he should be obliged to re- nounce nis faith on that account. If brought up inthe Gatholic reiigion he would be anxious to conform to its precepts, but would endeavor to combine devotion to mis Church with a@ love of the itberties which were long the peculiar glory of the cities of Flanders. Bat, as Lobserved ina former letter, it is pre- cisely this union of fidelity to the Church, with loyalty to the instincts of freedom, which the ta tion unhappily dominant at the Vatican and throughout the Roman commanion in the Old Worla seem determined to render impossible. “We have said 10a bundred times and we repeat it again”’—such is the language of one of the leading ULTRAMONTANE JOURNALS in Belgtum—‘that there is and there can be but one form.of Catholicism; whosoever seeks to add to | or take from it aught ccases to be a Catholic, | Those who can style themselves liberal Catholtes, | even as those who style themselves old Catholics, | are without the pale of the Churen; the former because in applying the word ‘liberal’ to Catholi- | cism they indicate a desire to modify that creed, | the latter because they reject a dogma proclaimed by tne legitimate organ of Catholicliy. Liberal Catholicism 1s elther nonsense or a revolt against the Church.” It would assuredly have grieved the heart of Montalembert, as of any true iriend of the Qnurch, io read such words; but it cannot be doubted that they are the expression of a settled policy on the part of the Papacy. It refuses all offers of friendship that are not accompanied with submission ; it will have no allies, but only supjects, He tbat is not entirely with it is against it. WHAT MAY COME. How long this state of things will last it is im- that the Court of Rome has generally underswooa | how to yield when notning turther could be gained | by resistance. It may be doubted whether even among those who are called ultramontanes any, | except a few of the clergy, have the full courage | Of their convictions. In Belgium, for instance, a | Catholic Ministry 1s fully aetermined that tbe | laws of the State shall be obeyed, whether pleas- | ing to their partisaus or otherwise. | A CLERGYMAN FINED. | | | Thus M. Lambert, Rector of Habay-la-Nenve, in the province of Luxemburg, has just been con- demned to pay fine of $10 for having, ; in defiance of the eighteenth article of | the constitution, celebrated a religious mar- | riage before the civil marriage had been | accomplished. In Ipstituting the prosecution the | government actea wisely and firmly, but it 1s | quite possible thatan outcry will be raised against | them by the priesthood, who will declare that the “religious prosecution’ commenced in Germany is extending itself to Belgium. And yet the con- duct of M. Lambert was in gratuttous violation of observed, not only permits, but enjoins, the faith- ful to insure the legal validity of their marriages, according to the civil law of the country in wnich they may be residing. | bas once been infused into a priesthood ora people the cautious restraints of autnorty cea to be heeded, It would be easy to show from bi: | tory how creeds have grown trom the belief of the Masses a8 much as {rom the deliberate teacbing of churches, and how doctrines supposed to have originated in the machinations of ecclesiastical policy were really imposed on popes and councils by the enthusiasm of the multitude, and that po) ular fervor plays a larger part than priestcraft | in the religious history of the world. THE ACQUITTAL OF WIESING: by the Correctional Tribunal of Vienna for an of, fence precisely similar to tnat of which Duchesne stood accused, has made considerable impression here and will probably have a marked influence on the debates of the Belgian Legislature, when the government Dill for dealing with this class of cases comes up for discussion; the more so that the committee appointed to report upon it based their approval of the Ministerial project of law partly on the ground of what they deemed to ve | | | | Austria, | AGAINST PILGRIMS, | Several more persons have been convicted in the courts of Ghent of assauits on pilgrims, and Sentenced to slight fines and short terms ofim- | prisonment.

HUDSON COUNTY EMANCIPATED, A SWEEPING VICTORY OVER CORRUPTION—THE PHILISTINES ROUTED AND THE JAIL RING SMASHED—A VOTE OF THANES TO THE HERALD. ‘The greatest victory for the taxpayers of Hud- son county, New Jersey, was achieved yesterday. ‘The triumph over the Bumsted Ring was tran- j sient im its results, but the victory ebtained yes- terdiy was of vital importance and wiil affect the administration of the county for all time.

There was a@ crowd in the lobby composed of citizens irom every part of the county who were delegated to wateh the action of their Tepresentative, and the most intense interest was manuested in the proceedings. When . Director Young called the meeting to order the silence was profound. Colonel O'Reilly arose and submitted the report of the majority of the Committee of Investigation that the cost of matntaining each prisoner be fixed at twenty-five cents @ day, in- stead of jorty cents, as at present; and that no fees be a:lowed, nor shall there be any allowance for extra jJooa jor tke sick. He submitted a lengvny statement showing the researches of the committee and the arduous labors they per- formed in endeavoring to arrive at ajust conclu. sion, He administered a scathing rebuke to Messrs, Young and Gibson for their defence of flagrant frauds before they had investi- gated the case, and charged them with practising gallantry at a heavy cost to the | taxpayers. He then became animated aud hurled back with scorn the assertion of Director Young that his (U’Retlly’s) report of tne manage- ment of the Kssex County Jail was fabricated. “fne time has now cume,’ said the speaker, “when tne representatives of the people must Meet this issue, and the people of Hudson county have resolved that taose Who betray them must stand the hazard of the die.” The denauciations of (he speaker became so yenemens at this point that there was great exc:tement im tne lobby and the Philistines winced, ‘Before the yore 18 | taken,” said Mr. O'Reuly, “{ desire to remind the members tuat the adoption of tne report will save | $12,000 a yea to Lhe taxpayers of the coanty.” Gibson called the speaker to order; but th © ruied that Mr. O'Reilly should proceed, | 800 as he concluded Mr, Gipson moved to make | the compensation thirty cents instead of twenty- , five cents, and Mr. O’Keiliy called ior the yeas and | Rays, in order that every taxpayer might ve fur- nished with THE BLACK LIST.

A HARROWING SIGHT. A most ghastly sight was presented yester- @ay afternoon in the squalid tenement nouse No, 380 Third street, Freaerick Ackerman, living at the above place, committed sutcide by Apout two o'clock the people of the neighborhood were startled by the report of a gun coming from a small room in the rear house, and on going to as- certain the cause found Ackerman’s body reclin- ing against a door leading to an adjoining room. The head was entirely gone, and brains, pieces of bone and flesh lay scattered all over the apart- ment, The unfortunate man had taken an old army musket, loaded it with @ quadruple charge of powder and two leaden bullets, placed the muz- zie in mis mouth and with his toes pulied the crig- ger. He was sitting at the time on a pillow and was leaning joor above alluded to, Notbing left of his head save a portion of tne lower jaw. Part of the skull was driven entirely through the door, the nose and upper lip were found on the bed at a distance of six or eignt Jeet from the body, and a nanafal of brains lay on tne fleor be- side the body in as perfect a state as thougn they ad been taken out by the most skiliul surgeon. Portions of the skull and scalp were jound in every part of the room, and an ear bung sus- pended irom a nail in the wail over the hed. The charge with which the gun had been loaged was so Rreat thatthe stock was broken off aud the hammer recocked by the explusion. The rigns hand was also terribly lacerated by the action of | the musket in recoiling, Acke:man has been a hard drinker for the last three years and has eral times had the delirium tremeds. It is supposed that he committed the act Ol self-destruction while laboring under one | Ol these attacks. He lgavesa wile ana fourciildren, the eldest seventeen and the youngess three years Olage. Coroner Woltman Visited the scene about five o’clock im the afternoon, and, assisted by puty Coroner Dr. Cushman, held an inquest. ‘rho verdict was ‘deatn by suicide, induced by prolonged intemperance.” A CORRECTION. To THE EpiroR OF THE HERALD:— Your report respecting the facts connected with the death of the child named Taylor has caused great pain to tne bereaved parents, and, relying on your known sense of justice, 1 senda plain and truthful statement of toe circumstance. Your Teport states that the child diea last “Sunday morning,” and thavup to Tuesday ‘the parents had made no efforts to have the body removed or buried.” The tacts are as follows:—The child died on Monday morning, and the parents imme- diately gave me instructions to promptly bury the body. An inquest being necessary, | at once mauve an appiicaiion to the Coroner, Who prom- ised to attend the following mornin Tuesday. The Corot jatied to appear; a second applica- ton was made, and the inquest Was not held until | five o'clock in the afternoon, which rendered tne funeral impossible on that day. The sollowing ning (Wednesday) at nine o’clock the chila was buried. 1t will, I wrast, be now clear that the delay was causedentirely by the ‘ailure of the Coroner to attend promptly when requested, and that tbe parents, in instructing me upon the same morning that the cntld died tu bury the body, could not have done more.
