C., September 16.-IN THE HOUSE, to-day, a resolution was offered by Elliott (negro), who seems to have become rc conciled to Speaker Kloses once more, to allow that worthy official four dollars a day extra, but it woe indignantly laid on the table. Jenks (white), Pillsbury's tat protege, intro? duced a bill to change the day of the munici? pal election cf the City of Charleston. It provided that the election shall take place on the first Tuesday in November. It was read the first time, and referred to the Committee on Elections. The bill to define the jurisdiction and regu? late the practice of Probate Courts, was order? ed to be enrolled for ratification. A lengthy and exciting discussion took place on the bill to incorporate the Air Line Railroad Company, which occupied the re? mainder of the morning.

IN THE SENATE the following bills were read a third time, and their titles changed to acts: The bill to'provide transportation for convicts discharged from the penitentiary; the bill to extend the time allowed to officers heretofore elected to qualify. Corbin gave notice of a bill to provide for the quarantine service of the ports of Charles? ton, Georgetown, Hilton Head and Beaufort.

LONDON, September 14.-The Times has a lengthy editorial article on American affairs this morning. The writer believes that Mr. Johnson, the American Minister, has a carle blanche from bis government to settle the Ala? bama case. The case of itt elf presents little trouble. The only difficulty is the reluctance of the American Government to settle the dif? ficulty growing out of war resentments. If American statesman ever believed that the Ala? bama escaped with the connivance of Great Britain there might be a question of inadequate laws molong England answerable, but this could bo easily settled. The real grievance of the United States was the indifierence of England in civil wars, and ber wil? lingness to seo the Union dissolved. Of this the Americans were conscious at the time, and renumber keenly now. They think we should have au aotive sympathy for tho North; that the Confederacy, based upon hu? man slavery, should have been at once con? demned; that the Republican party was the true friend of Eng and; that it was wrong for men to doubt the success of the Federal arms. After all, the anger of the Americans was due to their consciousness of sy ai path y with Eng? land's want of sympathy in their hour of peril. Bat anger, if light, has been enough indulged. Mr. Seward had refused a handsome offer of j amity which should be credited to England. He now cuts the past adrift and the thing is as good as settled. Legal points will not stand in the way. The only thing to ascertain is the responsibility of England, and to fix the prop? er indemnity. NAPOLEON'S LATE SPEECH. ' LONDON, September 14.-The press of this oity variously comment this morning upon the recent speech of Napoleon at Chalons.

Bell's Life, a London sporting journal, in its issue of the 29th ult., gives the most complete account which has yet reached this country of tile recent international yacht lace at Cowes. It may be slightly prejudiced, however, and wheo Bell's Life, in speaking of American ehpbuilders, says: "Although they build powerful vessels off the wind, taking the Sap? pho ai an example, when close-hauled or turn? ing to windward they do not sail within a point and a hali of our schooners," it will find few nautical men to agree with it. This may bo true of the Sappho, but not of American clippers generally, whose greatest achieve? ments are made when close-hauled. The famous yacht America, the first American yacht to cross the Atlantic and challenge tbo English yachtsmen in their own waters, was constructed after a model tbeu entirely un? known in Great Britain. Her bottom was I wedge-sh'ped, and she drew much more water 1 aft than forward. Doubtless Encash builders 1 have to some extent adopted the moud of this < famous clipper; but the British yachts of that ' day, with their square-beaded gaff-topsails 1 and balloon jibs, could not lay within a point J or two of the Yankee, with her sails stiff as ' boards and irimmed flat-aft. Here is a de? scription of the Sappho as seen by English ' eyes : ( The American was rated as 310 tons, but by 1 Thames measurement is about 381 tons. Hor spars an 3 masts are very long, like all Ameri? can racers, and wide apart, but not so taut aa they are in general. She has little accommo- I < dation, and is built in round sections, not one [ 1 straight line being visible; her extreme boam is twenty-six feet, and she is long with it, .md rather low in the waist; her forte is evidently running dead before the wind, and when mov? ing al great pace she raises a very heavy quar? tet sea; in appearance she resembles Fleet wing, but is of course much larger, although having but litt.e more free-board; her mainsail is peaked very high, and the peak of the lore gaff excessively low, ao doubt owing to the fact that when going about the caff is dipped to clear the triatic; her general appearance, in? deed, strongly reminds us of a very fast sailing slaver, a negligence and want of order pervad? ing every part of i iie vessel. Bell's Life does not place much stress on the accidents the Sappho met with during the race, and about which so u.uch is said in letters from American sources; but it speaks of the continual changing ot sails during the race as | \ being greatly to her disadvantage. The time, 4c.. has alieady been given. The Lifo con- I eludes its account of the race as follows: l The Cambria thus woa the international 1 match and sweepstakes of ?100 without her time allowance. Sappho's wretched perform? ances took every ono by surprise, but we fool certain that wero she canvased, rigged and fitted oat equal to her English competitors her sailing qualities wou d be much improved ; at thc s'ame time it must be remembered she has had to contend with a very different class of < vessels to those the celebrated America was < pitted again.-t in 1851. It is, however, satwfac- < tory to know there have been no obstacles or 1 objections of the slightest character in the 5resent match, yet the carrying away the jib oom off Luccombe is to be regretted, although the most prejudiced person must admit that Sappho was then and there clearly beaten on tier merits, simply from having met with faster 1 passels. >hould she be bought and remain in 1 this country what effect tho alterations abovo 1 ref ned to may have is quite another question, f Robert Penny, one of the most exp.-iienoed < patch sailors m England, was pilot of the Sap- t pho. 1 < The India Cotton Crop.

SCENES DUBING THE CONVULSION. Graphic Account? by Eye-Witncesea. The details of the great disaster in South Amorica are truly appalling. Eight large cities, among tho moBt important on the South Pa? cific coast, have ceased to exist. Many more cities are reported to have been more or loss affected, and tho effects of the shock were ex? perienced at many points northward from Arica to Callao, a diatanco of about 650 miles, and southward to Cobija, a distance of about 280 miles. We can get some idea of the extent of tho devastation caused, by imagining tho whola coast of the Atlantic, from Now York to Charleston, to be fii8t laid in ruins by the upheaval of the ground, and then inundated by an ocean wave from thirty to seventy feet high and next by supposing this calamity to be followed at an interval of three days by another Bhock, which should prostrate one-half of the buildings in Georgia and the Carolinas. It is computed that 300,000 persons ore homeless and wander? ing throughout Peru, destitu? e of shelter and food. The number of Uves lost is calculated as extending from 30.000 to 60,000. A correspon? dent of the New York Times writes on the 24th of August, as follows: TBE EARTHQUAKE AT ARICA. Arica is the central po.nt from which tho effects of this disaster must be traced. It is a seaport town of Peru, with a population of about thirty thousand. It was nearly destroyed by an earthquake in 1605, and now ii has ceased to exist. About five o'clock in the afternoon, in the most mountainous part of the country back of Arica, a sensation was experienced like the collision of two heavy masses, and from this feint radiated north and soi.th to the distances have already indicated, with consequences es terrible as they were immediate. Three un? dulations of the earth followed this unseen convulsion of Nature, and each undulation was accompanied by a tidal wave-the second of greater lateral extent than the first, and the third greater than the second. A correspond? ent gives the following description of the scene : The hour was that when by custom most of the inhabitants bad just dosed their daily labors and were at their homes. Th? instant the startling indications of an earthquake were felt there was a general rush for uncovered Saces, which were reached by man? uninjur , but not by all. the streets became a Bceuo of terror. All the houses in the city trembled like a person affected with the acne. T ien they surged, and some of them fell to pieces with crash after crash. At this iuncture, ?'hen the undulations were active, tue earth opened in several places in long and al mos ': regular lines. The fissures were from one to three inches in width. The sensation was distinct, as though something was rolling underneath. From every fissure there belched forth dry earth, like dust, which was followed by a sti? fling gas. When the undulations ceas? ed, the cloud of dust ascended and dispersed, and light was restored. Then quakes at short intervals succeeded, as though subterranean explosions or collisions were taking place. At this time, people from ah parts ot the city fled to hills, amid falling stones and timbers, which descended from swaying walls and broadly-rent buildiu gs, just on the eve of crumbling into perfect ruin. Some was struck down dead bv the tailing ma? terials, and others were maimed, whilt all were made to stagger from sido to side like people ina state of intoxication. THE 8EA DESTBOYS WHAT WAS 6PABED BY THE EABTHQUAKE. The water in tho harbor was now recoding (rota thc sboi-5, boating with it all tho chip? ping at rapid speed. Thou the current chaug 3d, and before an almost overhanging, tre? mendous wave, the ^esseis came back, tossed mo way and then another, or whirled about as though they were only floatiog loge, and on the -.erv summit of the immense volume of water :?de the United 8tatca steamer Watorce. The liugo wave dashed against the stone mole or pier, and shattered it all to pieces, thoa swept from its path what was standing of tho Customhouse, and almost every vestige of the ruins of other buildings, lt rolled over the al? ready destroyed houses ot tho city, and Bet a myriad ot articles afloat, which eddied in every iirection, while at tho same time the vessels ind floating materials were torced ahead of tho wave's at this time curling and foaming summit. Everything which it encountered in its course was swept away in an instant. Even great masses of atone were rolled over ind over. When tho force of the wave was spent it retired, and in a short time the equili? brium of the water was restored, and then it oc? cupied about the same line, aud presented near? ly be .fame appearance as it did before tho earthquake. The vessels carried inland were a terrible sight. The most of ;hem were bottom upward. Their masts bad been snapped like sticks. All this ireidful picture the refugees on tho hills ?vere now beholding. Many of them did so with tho most marked evidences of feir, be? cause quakes of tho earth were sill felt at short intervals. The Wateiee was grounded uland at a quarter of a inda from tho beach, cn tho lino of a railroad. As far as hoard ?rom, only one life was lost on board. Near .he Wateree a Peruvian war vessel was also grounded, and so gently that none of its rig? ging nor any of its timbers were impaire ?. Oa coard tho Peruvian war steamer A .urica, ivhich is a total wreck, eighta ives were-re? sorted to have been lo-". I'lio United States itorosnip Fiedonia'wou up-ci. and all her crow except threo drowned, accordin; to report. Tiloso who escaped were the captain, surgeon, ind a paymaster, who were on shore when the earthquake occurred, and sought refuge on :be hills. ABntish vossel, called the Cuauar iillo, lost many of her crew, who wore tumbled )verboard. A United States brig, name un inown, was foundered with all on board. The rossel., it is reported, was laden with guano. I The rest of the shipping destroyed were South American coasters." The fatal casualties in the :ity were about fifty, and the other casualties ?.bout one hundred. Tho total loss oa ship? board was about three hundred, principally !atal. Tho refugees remained on the hills for ,wo days, during which timo thoy suffered greatly tor food; at the same time the qu kes :ontinued as beforo at intervals. In time their .uff'.riugs became so intense that thc males lad to KO in search ol food, a limited quantity cf which they fou d in a damaged condition, ind with this they succored their families. The second morning after the earthquake a j'ight Iraught coasting vessel entered the harbor, cut did not remain long at anchor. As soon as he captaiu became aware of what had happen? ed he took on board a number of people and eft with them for Callao; thence one of the par? ies got to Panama. THE EARTHQUAKE DiPEBU. Arequipa, the most boautiful city in Peru, vas completely overthrown by the earthquake >f the 13th. It was s tidly built of stone, and :ontaincd about 50 000 inhabitants. Without exaggeration, I may say that nob one stone has ccen left upon another. Not a church is lett standing, not a house is habitable. The solidi ;y of the buildings cnablod Hiern t j resist tho Irst shockB. and gave time to the inliauitanis 0 escape to tho streots and squares, but was cot sufficient to arrest the ooiuiuued violence cf tho earthquake. Tho number of pcisjus curled beneath tho rums was about 200. Thc earthquake commenced wah un undu? lating movement, and us the shock culminated co one could keep his feel; the houses rocked liked ships in the trough of tho sea, and carno crumbling down. Ti.c shrieks ol'tho woinvu ind tho crash of falling masonry; the upheav? ing ot the earth and tho clou.ls of blinding lust made it a scene ot terror Hut cannot bo lescribed. Nineteen minor shocks took place tho same nigut, and at latest nccouuts tho 1 ar h siill continued in motion. Thc earth has ?pened in all thc plains arouud ihe cit*, and ?ater luis appeared in various place." The neighborhood of Tia ava ?ind S.tbcuda. and till the outlets of the beautiful eily have shared her lot. i bo Lily of Iquique, tho most important pbco in Southern peru, was almost totally de? stroyed. A few minutes aft?r 5 1*. al., on tho 13.h instant, thc inhabitants were tcrrilk-d bv loud subterranean noises, presaging tuc ap? proach Of an earthquake. The shock .inme? diately followed. Every building was shaken to its loundution. The population rushed into the streets, 8Dd those who were not buried by the fallin? walis made meir escape into tho country with all speed. Had they remain*1^ in tbe city the entire population must have per? ished, as immediately on the passing of the first shock the sea retired for some distance and then returned with a great rush and a roaring sound more terrible than the loudest thunder. The wave was of dreadful height and force, and it swept irresistibly over the town, completing the ruin begun by the earthquake. Not a mercantile establishment has escaped, nor does a vestige remain of the most opulent and handsome section ot that town. The mas? sive buildings belonging to tho nitrate mer? chants, mostly constructed of stone and lime, have entirely disappeared. Buildings con? structed of timber were swept away at once, leaving nothing to mark the place where they stood. Tho inroad made by the sea extended to the Pantera, part of which was covered by tho wave, and that section of the town known by tho name of the Puntella has been entirely de? stroyed, leaving nothing but tho debris of in? numerable houses. Since the occurrence of the 18th repeated shocks have boen felt, al? though of a milder nature. The inhabitants, filled with consternation, retired on tho incur? sion of the ses, and cannot bo prevailed upon to return to the town. Tho flourishing city of Arica, through which the greatest part ot our commerce with the neighboring republic of Bolivia flowed, and which was the most picturesque of our ports, alter having boen destroyed by the earthquake, was obliterated by the sea. There, as in the other towns on the coast, the water, alter hav? ing retired to a great distance, fell with irre? sistible forco on the ruins of the buildings, and bas left a sad and silent beach, where but a short time before was activity and life. The port of Chala, about half way between C 1! JO and Iquiquo, suffered great damage, the havoc continuing for about forty-five rruuutes. At the moment the steamship Santiago was about to anchor, after a shock which was felt very sensibly on board, the sea receded, part? ing the dam of the vessel, and of the com? pany's bulk, at anchor in the roadstead, and then returned at a height of about fifty feet, covering thc rocks about tho anchorage and in the harbor, and sweeping up in o tho town for tbe distance of over one thousand feet. The customhouse, steamship agency, mole, and everything within range, was swepi away bv three successive seas, preceded and followed by aa many as twelvo shocks of earthquake, each lasting from three seconds to two minutes in duration. The earthquake WLS terrific in its effect, nothing nf the kind being in the recollection of the oldest inhabitant. Tho towns of Soma and Lecomba are nearly destroyed. The earth opened in many places and vomited forth hot water. Tho valley of Ll uta is com plo tel v ruined. AN ETE WITNESS DESCRIBES THE SCENES IN ARIOA. From Arica the agent of the Pacific Steam Navigation Company writes : At about five o'clock in tho afternoon of the 13th we were visited with a tremendous earth? quake. I bod barely time to get my wife and children into the street when the whole of the walls of my house fell -fell is hardly the word, as they were blown out as if they were spat at me; ?at the same timo tbe earth open? ed, probably two or tbreo inches, and belch? ed ont dust, accompanied with a terrible stench as of powder, the air was darkened, and I oould not see my wife who was within two feet of me with the children. If this had lasted any time we mast have been suffocated, but in about a conpJe of minutes it cleared, and, collecting my household goods together, 1 then started for the bills. How we passed through the falling houses, when we saw mon struck down, some stone dead, others maimed, is to me a mystery, but a mer? ciful Providence was over us. We wended our sad way as well as we could towards the hills, the earth snaking, making us stagger as drunk? en people, when a great cry went up : "The sea has retiro J." I burned on and I had bare? ly got to tho outskirts of tho town w. en I looked back and saw all the vessels m thc bay carried out irresistibly to !ho sea, probably witb a spocd of ten miles an hour, lu a to,v minutes tbo great outward ci.reut stopped, men rose a uuguty wave, i should Jud)<o about filly feet high, and came in with a fearful rush, carrying everything before it in its awtul ma? jesty; the whole of the shipping came back with it, sometimes turning in circles, but all speeding on. Muauwhile tho wavo had passed in, siruck tho mol J into atom*, swallowed up my olli c, and roariug on swallowed up the customhouse, and rushing down tho same street, cirried everything before it. There mains of my dwelling house disappeared faster than tbe chungo of Bceno in a Christmas panto? mime, my hunches had long since- disappeared, and my ruin was completed. Every vessel was either ashore or bottom upward. The Peruvi? an uar steamer America lost about eighty-five hands. The United States steamer Wuteree escaped w.th the loss of one life; with a small draft ol' wator, sho was carried bodily on the top uf the sea, and landed about a quarter of a milo inshore of the railway track. The Fredo nia, United States storeship, was bottom up? wards, every soul on boara perished (except? ing tho ciptain, surgeon and paymaster, who were on shore and wore saved). The British bark Cbanurcillo, of Liverpool, was lying high up on the beach, the remains of a hub; half of her crow perished. Aa American bark laden witb guano was swallowed up, and has not left a vestige to toll her fate. The last of the ill fated squadron, a Peruvian bark, was placed on tho railway track apparently without losing a rope or Bpar. For nearly two days we lay on tho hills without covering and without food, in a coostunt state of alarm, as tho shocks of earthquake were incessant. THE EARTHQUAKE AT THE CHINCHA ISLANDS. At tho Chinchas great damage was done to the shipping, The following is a hst of tho vessels injured or destroyed : The British ship Reso.ute. partially destroyed; British sbip Eastern Empire, badly damxgod; British ship Boyal Oak, in a leaky condition ; British ship Oce?nica, almost a wreck ; British ship South? ern Ocean, badly damaged ; Prussian bark Leopold Ii, a total wreck. Many ot the above vessels wore loadod, and wore about to leave ; their cargoes have all boon badly injured. All the launches and small vessels are totally de? stroyed ; tho wharves and the mole are so in? jured that immeuso sums will huve to be ex? pended on them before they can bo of ?ny ser? vice. In ad itiou to the mortality at Iqutque, wo have to record thc death of Dr. Bockoubain, Mr. Scott and Mr. Kuorton. The Peruvian Mineral Company of Loudon is totally destroy? ed. After months of labor, and immonso ex? penditure of money, this mining company, after being at work only two days, had the r works entirely washed away; upwards of four hundred tons of silver ore, heavy machinery. bottles of quicksilver wero all washed away like so much "biff. At- Ohaacay, Casma and Huarnay, the same phenomena of tho tide took place. At the forraor port a largo quan? tity of merchandise waa destroyed. Tho cap? tain of tho Eransuto Sayor, from Talcahuano, reports that on the 13th ult., while about thirty miles from Pisco, he experienced a great movemont of the sea. Rochdale Co-operation. The experiment of the Bochdalo (England; co-operatives, commenced in 1844, has devel? oped itself into a huge system, the statistics of | which are most interesting. Originally con? sisting of only 28 members, Increasing to 74 m tbe next year, the number in 1867 was 6823. Tno funds in 1814 amounting to ?28, are now represented by ?128 435; the buoiness done amounts to ?281910, producing a profit of | ?41,G19. These figures reter merely to the Irado transactions at the central store in Toad Laue and the ten brauch stores. In all tbjse groce? ries and butchers' meat aro sold; in two or tbreo drapery is added. Tho tailoring.shuomaking and cloginuk.ng deoartmcutshave each a shop spe? cially devoted to thean Theie is alsj a co? operative corn null society, and a cotton man utaetunug society. The latter has experienc? ed a loss amounting to ?18.034 in the last tutoo years, but this year iv bilanoo on thc other .-ido is anticipated. Thc amount ot capital s iiik bv tho artisans in tbo various as-ocia t ons exceeds half a inilliou sterling, ht 18C6 a uew st ire ivas erected, with shops, library, rcadiu;.' room, and c.cutifio invlc.n n ami nearly ?1000 is annually devoted to education? al purposes. No wonder that daring tho Be iorm debates in tho English Parliament tho Bochdalc art.?au was spoken of as tho model working niau. An attempt was luoeutiy made to lyncha fellow in K.jnluoky who baa tho reputation of bea mg bis mother, but lie .-hot nuu or wo of his assailants, and discouraged them, ilia mot ber now writes a card, sa\mg Ulai it was all a mistake; that sho somotini-. s fought with her son'B wira, but nevor with lum, and mat it wa3 all in the family at any iatc. Tho Moral Effect of Boots. A writer in Cassell's Magazino gossips about "Bad Boots:" The influence of boots upon the mind is very different from that of any other garment. A man may have a shocking bad hat, but he for? gets it; "his coat may be threadbare, but bis mind is not directed towards it; but we defy a man to stand upright in a pair of bluchers with worn down heels, and we believe that it is just as difficult to feel morally upright in them. A sense of meanness possesses him, he feels that everybody is noticing them. He cannot look people straight in the faco and feel upon the square with them. He feels tho weakness of his foundation, and he mistrusts the charac? ter of the superstructure that they support, however imposing in other respects. A man shabby in the boots sometimes flatters himself that he carries off attention from them by the use of a splendid necktie; but this is a delusion and a snare. The boots are the key of the po? sition, and wo feel sure that no man ought to undertake any serious matter unless he stands up in a good sound pair of boots. A celebrated phvsioloirist has said that if human actions could bo searched into, it would be found that the intestines of ono man often influence the destinies of another. Doubtless this is a p ofound remark, but it applies to up? per and nether soles as well as to digestion. By way of argumont, imagino the final charge of tho Guards at Waterloo made id bad boots. It would have been all very well for the great Duke to have said, "Up, Guards, and at 'em;" but could they have got at them ? And if they had failed, and we had lost Waterloo, what next and next? But, badinage apart, no ono will feel inclined, wo suppose, to deny the in? fluence nf the mind upon the body, and vice versa. When boots aro hopelossly gone, shame seems to have departed also. What terribly bad boots we see crossing-sweepers lol owing their profession in. But these are put on sometimes to excite pity. We feel this, and tho effect is lost upon us. But is there a more piteous sight than a poor beggar with a boot on one foot and a shoe on tho other? A man brought to this point of degradation must be demoralized beyond tho hope of recovery. With womon tho moral influence of bad boots is not so great as with men, for the reason that they connivo not to show them; but the physical influence is far more serious. The writer, speaking from a long experience in the Ipractice of a dispensary, where the poor main y apply, can safely say that not a tithe of this class possess sound boots. Hidden un? der tho petticoats, they are allowed to wear sometimes until the feet aro just upon the ground, and the wearer's stockings are from morning to night, in wet weather, m a state of sop. This may scorn a minor evil, but it ia jost tho ono that causes half the disease among poor women, whose constitutions render them far less ftble to bear exposure of this kind than the other sex. There are clubs and benefit societies of all kinds, but we cannot fancy an institution that would do more im? mediate and listing good than a 'Good Booti Club' for the benefit of womon. We may as? cend higher in the social scale and find the same ev? prevailing. Many poor governesses and servants are shockingly shod. It is just tho weak point in their dress which they can? not hide, and they invariably do it, whereas it lies at the foundation of their health and that of their children, and it should claim their first attention. We laugh at the clattering wooden sabots of the French and Gorman working classes; bat in comparison with the fiimsey, ill-made foot coverings our own poor indulge in, they are more healthy and lasting. But fashion, even with the very poor, is far more Eo.verful, we fear, than considerations of ealth or service. -Tho Now York Methodist, in reforring to the movement inaugurated by the Episcopa? lian clergymen in Newark in favor of a union with tho Methodists, says: "It may as well bo said to these good brethren at once, that thc two churches aro so totally unlike in spirit, that any attempt to unite them, organically, would result in disastrous failure. We en? courage free, spontaneous activities, thoy ro press all spontamety in ecclesiastical lifo. Methodism is emotional. Protestant Episco paliauism severely restrained. Methodists, scout, wo might more tru'y say, scoffat, the idea of an apostohcan succession of tho min? istry through bishops; they will never recog? nize episcopacy as a third order in tho church, nor will they, as a matter of church oconomy, tolerate a separate houso of bishops." -The Episcopal Bishop of Michigan writes to tho Archbishop of Canterbury a eloomy ac? count of the stato of religion in this country. Of tho churches not Episcopal he says: "A rapid process of disintegration is going on among them. Thoy are fast slipping away from all their standards of faith, and, as a necessary consequence, must sooner or later fall into in fidolity. This is emphatically the case in those States in which Puritanism prevailed. My own opinion is that uulesa the church can step in and direct men to the truth as it is in Jesus, preserved and handed down to us by the Catho? lic Church, ttiey wdl bo under the dominion and power of Home within less than half a cen? tury." -The prominent Democratic editors of New York aro named Wood, Marble, Stone and "Brick." ^Harrie).
