r 4 fend their lives. One white man in Central Africa is of more consequence to the world than a great many negroes. Perhaps he is mot of more consequence than justice, but a white man who could get there would per- haps not take the London view on that sub- ject. At all events, the white man on the spot is the only competent judge of the ex- igency of the occasion; and in his absence it is fair to credit him with a right intention even if his own statement does not seem to put his acts in the best light. We should be the last to sustain inhumanity in our correspondent ; but before we condemn him we shall hear his answer to accusations that he could not dream would ever be made. Import Duties at the Exhibition. The Philadelphia Exhibition has been in most respects so eminent and gratifying a success that we are sorry to hear of anything likely to create dissatisfaction among the foreign exhibitors, We suppose the Secre- tary of the Treasury only needs to be made aware of certain facts, which we publish below, to order justice done, and to have complaints, vainly made to some of his subordinates, attended to. 1, Complaint is made that goods bought by some of the foreign Commissioners for their governments, and which are to be ex- ported as soon as the Exhibition closes, are to be made to pay an import duty to this government, on the ground that thongh they were not, of course, regularly liable to this, they fell under the letter of the law, because they are no longer in the “original packages.” 2. Complaint is made that while the ex- hibitors were induced to bring goods over on certain instructions by Secretary Bristow, promising that on final entry for sale dam- age suffered by exhibited goods would be considered in the Custom House assessment, this is now refused, and goods, no matter how much injury or deterioration in value they have suffered through being exhibited, ere required to pay dutieson their fall or original value as new goods. 3. Many of the goods on exhibition from abroad are not accompanied by a consular certificate ot the value of the variable paper currency of the country from which they were sent at the time of their shipment. Where this is so our customs authorities now refuse to allow of a rectification of the neglect by the Commissioners, and insist on exacting duties on a valuation calculated as though the depreciated paper were equal to gold. 4, Complaint is made that no general reg- ulations have been established for the re- thipment of exhibited goods; and that in the sbsence of such the exhibitors are obliged do pay feesto brokers and other go-betweens, when originally they were promised exemp- tion from all such exactions. 5. Complaint is made that throughout the period of exhibition the Custom House in- terferonce has been of a needlessly petty character; that, for instance, each building being regarded asa bonded warehouse, a tarpenter employed by one of the foreign flepartments was not allowed to carry his tools from one house to another, to make re-. pairs, without the leave of the customs offi- cers and the company of an inspector. 6. Complaint is made that the exhibitors and Commissioners, when they try to make known their troubles to the Secretary of the Treasury, are not allowed to reach him, but are -by subordinates referred for redress of grievances to the same local officers against whose conduct they protest. We are sorry that there should be cause for such complaints and we trust the authorities will try at once to remedy every real grievance. We shall take the trouble to investigate the mutter more fully, and shall report in detail in a few days. yexzRAL Anson G.

(SPECIAL DESPATCH TO THE HERALD BY CABLE. } Roms, Nov. 6, 1876. Cardinel Antonelli expired at seven o'clock this morning. His death was peaceful. About his bed side were gathered hfs relations and many of his colleagues in the College of Cardinals. The last moments were comforted by the apostolic benedic- tion and other religious rites, SINKING AT THE POPE'S FEET. . The Cardinal was seized yesterday with a sudden attack of gout in the chest. He had been a long sufferer irdm the gout, and, as is frequently the case, the malady suddenly left the joints and at- tacked those vital organs, the lungs. The seizure oceurred while he was in the presence of His Holl- new the Pope, giving an account of the sums received from the Spanish pilgrims. The Pope was greatly affected by the suddenness of his illustrious servant's prostration. THE DOCTOR AND THE SACRAMENT. His Eminence was, by direction of the Pope, car- ried to an adjoming apartment, where he was at once Placed in as comfortable a position as possible. The Pope sent for his own physician; but upon the ar- rival of the doctor all hope was declared gone. The medical man at once ordered that the holy sacra- ment should be administered, a8 the sufferer was able to die at any moment. THE PAPAL BENEDICTION. The sacred rites were then partaken of by the aying Cardinal, and the Pope retired for a short time to another part of the palace. His Holiness, however, again visited the sufferer before going to his bed, remained by his aide for some time admin- NEW .YORK HERALD, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1876—WITH SUPPLEMENT. istering comfort and consolation, and upon leaving, a8 the hour was late and His Holiness almost il! him- self, he gave the dying man the benediction, in ar- tleulo mortis, THE END. Long after midnight Cardinal Antonelli sent a prelate to the Pope asking for pardon forall involun- tary offences, He lingered along, at times suffering intense agony, until daylight. Then the vital ener- gles seemed wholly exhausted, The life-spark fick- ered, and at the hour previously named went out. PUBLIC GRIEF. ‘The news spread abroad in the Eternal City last night. Hopes were everywhere expressed that the attack would not prove fatal, the serious nature of the malady not being generally known until after the decease of the Cardinal was made public this morning. In the cafés the Cardinal's death is the universal tiieme this afternoon, and the expressions of griet and ragret are universal. The sudden pros- tration of the Cardinal created great consternation in the Vatican. HIS PROPERTY. The Cardinal's fortune, comprising his property and personal effecta, are bequeathed to his kindred. His large and valuable cabinet of bric.a-brac, paint- ings and cut and uncut precious stones are left to the museum of the Vatican. ANTONELLI’S SUCCESSOR.

TWEED ON THE OCEAN WAVE, PRESIDENT GRANT GIVES THE REASON OF THE LONG VOYAGE OF THE FRANKLIN—THE SPAN- IARDS THE CAUSE OF IT. Wasmrxcrox, Nov. 6, 1876, The President, speaking to-day of the delay in the arrival of tho Franklin with Tweed, sald that Com- modore Ammen Informed him tbat ho had received a private lettor from Captain Samuel R. Franklin, the commanding officer of the Franklin, dated at Vigo, just before her departure, in which the captain told him that the Spaniards bad pat up the price of coal on him to an enormously high figure, just as he was getting ready to leavo port, and, therefore, instead of laying in a full supply be purchased only 150 tons, consequently ho would have to use his steam sparingly in order to make bis fuel last, and would, thereforo, go under sail the most of the voyage. This will ac. count for the great length of time the Franklin ig making. 4 FALSE NOTICE OF THE ARRIVAL OF THE YRANELIN OFF OCEAN GROVE—DID THE SCHOOLSHIP CREW PLAY A PRACTICAL JOKE? Quanantixg, N. J., Nov. 6, 1876, Intelligence was received here early this morning that the Franklin was off Ocean Grovo. This caused considerable excitement among the people and much speculation was indulged in by all. Soon after tho signal bad been given a steamer put out to sea to meet the Franklin. Just as sho rounded the Hook the captain made out the topgallant sat's of a man-of-war. Tho excitoment ran high, and every one was anxious to got the glasses and make out the little speck just on the rim of the horizon, Slowly the square sails of tho approaching ship loomed in sight, and tier after tier of equaro sails seemed to grow one on top of the other. All the time the busy steamer wont plunging outward, occasion- ally shipping the sea ovor her pilot house. To use the glasses was adiMcult, if not impossible, performance for amateur seamen; but the captain, an expericnced and scientific skipper, took the binoculars, and while hia body swayed to end fro, like a sapling in a strong le, he got focus on the clipper. ‘Then fo.” rested © tor. a moment, and the bright smile faded from his face as he said “Boys, I’m afraid the lubbers have fooled un”? A moment more and the glasses .wero thrown on the sbelf, and the captain ejacaiated a very stereotyped sailor’s compliment to the lubber at Ocean Grova The captain, who has circumnavigatea the globe, and been toallthe great portsatbome and abroad and ilotea thousands of vessels in and out of New York, Baa seen something that disgusted him very much. NOT THE RIGHT ORAVT. Recovering from the shock to his nautical instincts ho “Franklin! Why that crait don’t look much like the Franklin. She must be some old storeship, Think of the Franklin setting her topgallant sails, one ata time, ikea merchantman. Yankee frigates don’t do business that way, my boy, unless thoy’vo begun since I left the navy.” It was now decided beyond a possible doubt that the farmer on the jookout at Ucean Grovo had been mis- taken, and that the Franklin was not in sight, A mile beyond the lightsbip we ran up to a craft flying an onsign, and spoke her. ““What ship is that ?”’ I called out, as wo stood abreast of her port quarter. “The schoolship St. Marys, Captain Phythian, six days from Philadelphia,” answered the galiant execu- tive, Lieutenant Ve Long, from bis lofty atation in the quarter coat. We returned and paesed the Nina in time toallay tho excitement which onr exit from the bay had created. We informed her of the name of the ship we had spoken, for the 5t. Marys had not yet turned the Hook and was Rot to be seen. * RIOT IN NORTH CAROLINA.

HIS EMINENCE CARDINAL ANTONELLI. Giacomo (James) Antonelli, Cardinal of the Church and Statesman, was bora at Sopnino, near Terracina, Italy, April 2, 1806. He was, consequently,.in the seveaty- first year of his age. He came from a family of the middle class. His tather was a londed proprietor who, 1n the bonorablo pursuit of commerce, realized a hand- some fortune, and signalized himself on various occa- sions by bis loyalty and devotion to the Holy See. At the age of thirteen years Giacomo was sent to the great seminary at Rome, whero he passed regularly and with brilliant distinction through the various classes of belles lettres and finished the course of philosophy. He then matriculated at the Sapienza (‘bo Roman University), and devoted himself to the study of tho law and obtained all the degrees, including that of doctor, Wishing to embrace tho ecclosiastieal e and to devote himself to the service of the Holy See, he was admitted after a rigorous examination to the Prolature as a Prelate of Justice in the Pontificato ot Pope Gregory XVI. He subsequeatly passed through the various grades of his Profession, was nominated “Chiof of Gooa Govern- ment’? and afterwards appointed assessor tn the government Criminal Court of Rome. Then he was Promoted to the post of Delegate of the Province | of Orvieto, whence he was transferreed to Viteroo and finally to Narcerata. Recalled to Rome, he | was appointed tc the important and confidential office of substitute of the Ministor of Foreign Affairs in 1841, and in 1544 was made second Treasurer, aod in the fol- lowing year Grand Treasurér of the two Apostolic Cham- Vers (Minister of Finance) at the Place de Fosti. Pope | ¥ius LX, raised him tothe dsguity of a Cardinal Dea- | con June 11, 1847, under the title of St. Agatha In 1848 he was named Councillor of State for Foreign Affairs, and upon vacating this office shortly thereafter ‘was made President of the Council of Ministers, which office he held fora time, and then became Prefect of the Sacred Apostolic Palace. In November, 1548, he accompanied the Pope to Gaeta, when the lavter sought refugo there during the revolution, While at Gaeta he conducted tho nogoti- ations connected with the rostoration of the Pope’s temporal power with great zeal and ability. Before this timo ho ceased to bo Minister but continued to be the Pope's privy counsellor and soveroign di- rector of his policy. On the 12th of April, 1850, when the Pope re-entered Rome, he appointed Cardinal An- tonolli Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. Since that period he has filled, with great ability and re- nown, that high office. The Pope had evidently been impressed by the vivacity of his temperament, hts liberal opinions and bis most prominent characteristic—the apt blending of the suaviter in modo with the fortiter in re, for which Aftonel!i was universally marked. In 1847, while acting as President of the Senatus Consulium (a com- mission appointed to examino into the wants of tie people), be made several very patriotic proposals which, however, were never adopted, owing to the opposition of the Sacred College, When the revolu- Monary tidal wave of 1848-9 swept over Europe, Anto- nolli showed his aversion to despotism by causing 17,000 mon to be mustered for service against the Austrians iu Lombardy should it be found necessary. The excesses of the revolutiot their vandalism and their deter- mynation to upset overything, stimulated the Sacred College and all tho ecclesiastical party to a stro hatred of liberaltsm under such circumstances, and the Cardinal, who was then quite popular with the Italians, retired from office, ceding bis place to Mami- ani He continued, however, to be tho Pope's privy counsellor, and it was by bis advice that tho unfor- tunate Count Rossi was subsequently appointod to su- Persede Mamiani. It was through the deceased prelate that the Pope corresponded with Charles Albert; by him that the press laws wero elaborated, and with his advice counsellors and anditors were appointed. Under his direction tho Pope retired to Gaeta and re- fused to hold any communication with the provisional government of Rome. From him emanated the fa- mous circular addressed to Franco, Austria, Spafn and Naples, solemnly calling on thoso Powers and on the whole Christian world to restore the Pontiff to those Tights which belonged to him by a compact as sacred as any then existing in Earope, and to ro-establish tho throne of Peter as tue curves guarantee of universal order and the developmont of civilization THK RRACTIONARY MOVEMENT and the policy of the re-established Papal goveroment wero attributed to him by the poputace, who styled him the “red Pope.” Those who witness the horrors ofthe modern socialistic revolutions in Kuropo in- variably become stern and conservative, and tho Car- dinal was no exception tothe rule. Hence, after his advancement to the post of Secretary of State, he do- voted his energies to the work of reorganization aud centralization of the governmental departmenta. His administration of the government of provinces and commones, either through the f: of men or inevit- abie circumstances, was followed by financial distross. Commerce langatshed and discontent prevailed owing to proletarian agitation and rumbling symptoms of an- other political upheaval, ASSAULTED BY AN ASSASSIN On the 12th of Juno, 1855, Roman barbor was chosen by a committee of prominent members of the secret societies to assassinate the Premier. The selec- tion for the work had fallen to the barber by lot, and ho accordingly armed himself with one of those terrible weapons of destruction destined to be thrown likea missile at the victim. Tho moment the spike of the weapon entered the body the engine was to explode, tearing tho entrails to atoms and producing certain death, as it was mostly aimed at the stomach, The barver met the Cardinal in a hall of the Vatican and took aim, but at this critical moment one of His Eminence’s stalwart attendants, with a powertul blow, struck down the man’s arm and felled him to the ground ere he could accomplish bis design. Tho dar- | to ber was executed, and Antonelli, who had asked a commutation of the sentence without avail, settled a pension on bis wife and family. Had ho then per- ished his name would scarecly be lesa distinguished than it is to-day. Up to that time all his plans for the restoration and maintenance of the temporal power ot he Holy Sceand for tho extension of its influence had not only been matured with masterly ability, bot also crowned with success, which, after all, is held to be tho truo criterion ofgenius. But although he applied himself diligently tothe work of reform fa the hope of satisfying the growing demands ot the populace, ho found himself at last face to face with another Insurrection in 1359 that had been fomented by the secret socictics of radical enemies of the Pope, who fancied that by permanently overtarning the Papal government they would vanquish the Charch itself. Antonelli went into tho combat with strong hopes ot success, He seemed, however, to have expected the ultimato success of the Italian con- solidation policy, {nasmavh as he had accrpted a treaty with Cavour, by the terms of which the, durability, dignity and comploto independence of tho Holy See were guaranteed, but the treaty was renderod abur- tive by THE INTERYERENOR OF LOUIS NAPOLKOX. Antonelli bad little reason to suspect that ho who has been styled “The Eldest Son of the Church’? would lend himself to a disruption of the Papal States. he lived with a strong conviction that the Catholic Church was the ‘pillar and ground of truth” aod that sho was tho surest guarantes of the stability of thrones and prosperity of nations. He could not undorstand why a Catholic monarch who had already given back to the Pope his provinces could now connive at their being taken away. He counted on the aid of Austria in com- bating the revolution and ho hoped for the neutrality of Franco, but in the latter expectation ho was bitterly disappointed. In spite of the Herculean labors and . plans of tho Cardinal Napoleon aud Cavour were suc- cessfal because they had the heaviest artillery on their side, Antonelli was she victor in diplomacy, but this con- quest told little against that which followed the footsteps of the army of Napoleon in that memorable Italian cam- paign ot '59, when the star of the Second Empiro reached its culmination and shed rays of victory upon the Imperial eagles of France upon the bloody plains of Magenta and Solferino, Victor Emmanuel and tho French Emperor paroetied out the Papal dominions, but in so doing they went ler the ban of excom- muDication put upon them at Antonelli’s instigation, From tbat day forth he lost all confidenco in monarchs and bs pier havi seen #0 much du. plicity Napoteo: lattsr always looked upon him with « jealous eye Alter the @état of Napoleon bi & eon. coup o proposed forence of the Kuropean Powers in relation to the sia- ‘wility of the Papal throne.

Cardinal Antonelli was a tall, wiry, robust man, easy of carriage, rapid in his movements, bis head alw: standing erect upon high athletic shoulders, In bt ty-elghth year, he retained all the vigor of youth, aud looked much younger than apy one could expect from a man of such jengthoned and eventful years. His jet black hair wan always eropped short; bis A atic forehead was of w thick, heavy cyobrows formed a shadowing large, bright brown eyes, over which a hazy film seemed to hang at first sight, but which was speedily dispelled the first moment he conversed, Ap aquiline nose, with thin, flexible nostrils, a mouth | developed almost to excess; a straight, well cast chin, which betokened iron will, judomitable energy and up- alterable purpose; sphinx-like eaz» and a swarthy face, Wearing a slight tinge of sadness and religious metan- choly, formed a contour enigmatical and disquieting until ho smiled or warmed into discourse, Then bis eyes pecame aglow, rolling, darting and shooting in- cessantly, piercing: the breasts of those to whom he spoke, It would be next to imp io for a person to feel unembarragsed atter a bombardment from the Cardinal’s eyes. He looked ordinary at the first ap- pearance, but at a second glance his dignified counte- hance and insinuating, gentle, captivating dis- course boro the impress of carly culture, natural intellectual endowments, and forty years of intercourse with the leading aiploma- tists of Europe. No one ever conversed with him with- ont being profoundly impressed at the masterly ability with which he propounded mis views on the most varied topics, In the society of ladies he was witty, polished and extremely entertaining, He expert enced no difliculy in hurrying his hearers du plaisant au severe, and it was he who was said to makostorm oF sunshine at pleasure, Although his state obambor giittercd in rich tapestry, costly pictures, furniture and Oriental splendors, he was unagectedly simple in his | manner and conversation, easy of access and totally | vou of empty pomp, In every sense. of the word ho | was a self-made man. Taking tho allegations of bis cnemies for granted be bad spent his ebiid hood in Sonoino, a place which they allege be a very’ den of thieves. It seemed as though the inhabitants of that locality were destined forever to bo strangers, not only to for- tune, but to civilization ttself, Avd yet the embryo Cardinal statesman clove his way out from the ob- security of his home, built for himself a read to tho highest office in the Church and to a name aod fame hard and determinedly won, and acknowleaged by greatest cnemies, He se » have possessed wh. highly essential to 4 balanced head —a perfect control of himself, He was naturally of a violent temper, which frequently found vent after uusatisfac- tory audiences. He would then order an attendant to tetch a plate of orzoge pecl, kept for the purpose at hand, and the Primo Minister chewed the peel, which operation seemed to cool his anger. He then returned to bis business as usual. is frugal habits gave him the health and heartiness ofa mountaineer, and he was seldom or never indisposed n health.

THE WEATHER YESTERDAY. The following record will show the changes in the temperature for the past twonty-(our hours, in com- parison with the corresponding date of last yoar, as in- dicated by tho thermometer at Hudnut’s pharmacy, Hyravp Building :— West, asia evident from the sentiments he expressed during an interview with a Hexatp correspondent not long ago, Said the Cardinal:—“Since tho tsme when you were in the babit of reading in America my published despatches you have had a great war—a (oh pater affair, What surprises me is that your country seems to be getting up again wonderfully trom the misery in which it must have been planged by such a severe anu long sirugele between tho North and the South and by the subsequent liberation of the siaves. It ta indeed surprising, but true, You havo the advantage of possessing immense resources. I suppose the South sufered tho most. It must have been ruined when the war terminated, as tho lands could not produce cotton while tho batties lasted.

It 18 something fright- ful, but then it can be paideasily. What has given me great pleasure and satisfacticn is to veo that monthly accounts come over by the cable informing us that the debt is gradually, but steadily, being diminished by two,, three, five, seven or eleven millions ct dollars at aunfe, That looks very suspicious, 1 think, for the payment ofthe whole dobt. { suppose thero can bo no doubt huge prices were exacted from the govern- ment during the strugglo and maoy people got rich in that manner, Under such circumstances as those ac- companying a huge war just prices cannot be secured, and contractors and those following in their wake havo the finest opportanity to grow suddenly wealthy, During the samo interview the Prime Minister paid a fow left-handed compliments to certain Italian bank- ers who, by promising usurious interest, bad induced innocent money holders to deposit with them their little savings, and subsequently made away with it. Another gentleman,’ who once interviewed His Em- iuonce, speaks thus of him:—“I heard, ag in a dream, something about Kome, the magnldcenice of her objects otart Then I said tomyself, ‘Rome is a paradise—a Sisyphus; the fine arts cost much labor, My eyes were dazzlea with the sun of beauty.’’’ And yet Anto- neili could bave beckled on the ghrments of a peasant and travelled the world over without exciting any sus- Ppicions save those which would induce every police- man to ask him tor his passport. MIS ENEMIES, Like most men who achieve prominence in history, the vigorous opponent of revolution had enomes. Searcely ever since the elevation of the Cardinal to the lirst office of state in thre gitt of tans Holin a month made ‘upo enthusiastic Garibaldian, at another time b; tionary contributors tothe organs of the “| in France and Italy. Failing to ud any vulnerable spot in the character of the Cardinal they magnified into the circumstance of the prosperity of his reia- and accused Antonelli of enriching them.
