Whipper replied that he had the very best of reasons for Introducing the reso? lution, and thought lt his duty to Investigate every transaction bf a body of men who had the power to sell out the last cent of the State's in? terest; and he thought there was a movement OD foot to do it.

TKZ NEW GENERAL ASSEMBLY. A Sit?ten of the Outs and Ins-Complex lon* of the Legislature-The Radical Majority-A Lively Debtte-Jo? Crews Re bu lt cd-The United States Senate and the State Printing. [FROM OUB OWN CORRESPONDENT.] COLUMBIA, November 23, The peeing and organization of the Gene? ral Assembly was attended this noon by a large concourse of citizens. Great interest was man ifested. The proceedings in both houses were of a formal nature. The o meera elected wire decided npon previously in canons, and, of course, the thing all went one way. Some lit? tle iv.erest was manifested In the subordinate offlcvs, bnt as there are so many fat offices for the "trooly loll" under the present maladmlnls Hon, there seemed to be something provided for every one. THE ASPECT OP THE LEGISLATURE. Perhaps lt was the new and gaudy surroundings of the House; maybell was the not-at-home feel? ing manifested by the members, that led one to think that the coming session wiU prove a more orderly and beneficial one than the last. At any rate, to-day's appearance of the. House was not so bad. A few members stiU evince a desire to make bnfl oas of themselves, and forget (if we may be allowed to ball) to hide the knowledge they do not possess. The Senate stiU retains its respectability, and gives promlS9 tor the future. "OCTS AND INS." In looking over the Senate as lt was assembled this morning, one's thoughts could but go back to those unlucky ones who had, perforce, gone ont if om that small body of "ins," and become part and parcel of that very large body of "outs." Parson Cain, somehow, ls missed the most. Seen flitting about from one house to another, we are reminded that' those grandiloquent tones and forcible jestures will not interest ns this session Daddy Cain was shrewd, and used to give some very keen answers to the broad hints that he had "been seen." "What, Mr. President,'' asked he, on the pas? sage or the phosphate hil!, "should I stand on har? ren, shores, witness the grand, majestic ship of State, laden with legislative fruit, beardown upon me, and allow lt to pass by to ambrosial cUmes ? No; I.will hail thedear old hulk, and Jump aboard and be watte*, too, to fairer lands." Hoyt, from Colleton, takes his seat ta the gaile* ry this time. His quondam opponents can lind nothing bad enough to say about hun. The same may be said or his. opponent, McIntyre, of House fame last .v'<ar. Donaldson, or Chesterfield, is among the ^ats, and seems in an unfortunate way. Cha-;.ged with coasting hlmseir in, he still remain^ nut, hut ls sanguine of representing Ch'^te'rfleid yet. Jitlson thinks school books preferable lo engrossed bills, and Cardoso, a mu? latto, takes his place. Wright was willing to ex? change much In the Senate for little on the Su? preme Bench; and having gratified his ambition, would doubtless like to trade over again. Dr. Lnnney. from Darlington, standa aside to make Way-,for the ponderous Whlttemore. lt's re? freshing to see one deny oneself for ones' frieg?s. Raftey remains in the Senate,- as does that wheel-h?8?C<u^, aitli<w?b?ie former did not answer to his Aime to-day. . In the House, DeLarge, Ransier, Elliott, UoBon and Neagle are the most prominent Those who are re-elected include Dr. Bose Boston, Bowley, Crews, Dennis, Grima, c. D J. N. Hayne, Kuh, Meade. Moblcy, Mose! O'Connell, Simons, Thompson and Whipper.

Mi ?sile desired to indefinitely postpone the mattel Ie did not wish to vote against any one's praj ag for them, but he considered lt a place for rt renchment to come in. He wanted to make tbi >olnt: Rev. Mr. Adams had pray ed a l the lae iesslon and they only got worse and worse, an heir votes showed it. Mr. A.. however, drew hi >er diem with striking regularity. It was a last ng outrage to pray for this Senate. He though hom Sit past pray Idg for, and that the ministe ) ray ed for the $6 per day rather than the good o he State. Mr. Corbin hoped the good old tlme-honorei ?ustom would continue, and his counsel pre railed. COMMITTEE OF TUE WHOLE. As soon as the House had organized lt wen tito a committee of the whole on the state of th< jountry. Rather unexpectedly remarks of an In :endiary nature were made. Whipper, -colored ipened the ball, and spoke for some tim? abou >rotecttng now those men who had during th< campaign, as he said, exposed their lives. Tbi 'Hon." Joe Crews followed. Hi evidently ha l iperit some time In preparing himself for th? ef ort? Ills voice was lifted to the pathetic key, md his eyes at least seemed as if they were not, nfLCt, lu good working order. To those uaac nstomed to Uncle Joe's touching appeals, anil o those who have not seen him behind the cenes, his remarks were touching, lt reminded me too forcibly of the report of the Investigating ?ommlttee of last wluter, and seemed too nuch like- thc Becond book of Mtrtyrs. Joe vas closely questioned by the Radical members, ind his remarks evidently taken with large ?rains of allowance. In answer to a question, le'sald he was told that there were twelve per? ons who were killed, but he had not gol their lames. He thought it was the duty of the Gene al Assembly to sustain hun, and all that he ask d for himself was protection. He had been iromlsed that the law should- be enrorced, and .elleved that Governor Scott had done all that he ould for him. [Joe seems to know thaj Scott's annence in this Legislature ls pretty much ss trong as lt was in the last, and doesn't want to rray himself against the Dr.] He did not doubt ut that If the whole of the constabulary were ent to Laurens they would be, every mother's son r them, murdered. "Have you made a proper statement of these jctstothe authorities';"' asked Davis, colored, rom Charleston. "Yes." "What hj.ve they doae ?" "Nothing," answered Crews. "There ls a plan n foot, though, but lt ls private. General Grant lid: 'I have no cavalry that I can send you.'" Davis here got on the rampage, too, and ex lalmed that thc present state of affairs w^g oiLingnew. lt had continued from the murder r ."^adolph. Ho wanted tho Legislatur^ to take Tendons measures-to arm every ?xaoo\ boy, If ecessary. Crews then gave his versi^'of Q|3 trip to Wash igton. in the midst of waich he was interrup'ed j an anxious Inquire';, who wished to Know If ?ere was a railroad, running in the locality of aurens. This, of course, brought down the ouse, and Hutt .?red Joe so much that he brought is remarks o,t the state of the country in general, nd Laurels in particular, to a close. One riember desired to try the experiment of jading men to Laurens to see whether any one "juid kill them. After some dRQcuity, W. D. Wilkes, of Ander ou, obtained the floor, and proceeded to answer he appeal of Crews In a very able and dlgnl led manner. In au instant he secured the atten lou or the House, and not only caused great com aotiou among the Radical members, but excited he curiosity and admiration of his friends. He innounced himself as a strictly no-party man. He poke for and In the iuterest of peace. As a na? ive South Carolinian, he was deeply humiliated it what had happened In Laurens, and would do di in his power to pass any laws that would pre rent the recurrence of such things. He argued n favor or reason-eatreated his fellow-members o employ reason, and to check the present dis ila y of passion. He was bound by no party lines. Although Interrupted frequently by frivolous I questions by Mobley ami others, he made a lasting impression. At the conclusion of his speech he was approached by DeLarge and others ana warmly congratulated. TUE UNITED STATES SENATORS HI Pi Although the number of caudtdates for this high office sjems to hare simmered down to three or four, frere ls still reason to suppose that the bold jame of gaining votes to s jil oat, which was being consummated by so many some six weeks ago, will be attempted. So many were the candi? dates at that time, that it became quite n standard password arnon? the Rad-publicans, "Are you a candidate?" From Scott, along down the line to Sancho Sanders, the fever had spread. Scott's little game was a nice one, and it seems was just as n eely foiled. The State constabulary were dis? tributed in the upper country with Instructions to organize the party and to run themselves into the Legislature. The negroes, however, having noth? ing but "turkey-buzzard," blocked the little game, and Messrs. Constables are some where up a tree. Space ls too valuable to show up all these Inge [.nlous schemes. When the election will come off lt ls impossible to say at present; but if the election of a judge for this circuit last winter bc any foreboding of what we are to be Indicted with, then it had better be to morrow and over with it. Money will tell, and he whose purse ls the longest will have the .surest race. Mr. Chamberlain's chances are slim. lie ls trying a tumbling feat on- two horses going in dur?rent directions. He now says that every office In tho State would, if he had lils way, be filled by the black man. MOUE RECKLESS EXTRAVAGANCE. But a glance inside the new hall, prepared for the lower branch of tho Assembly, will show how determined the present administration ls to con? tinue and Increase the already enormous expense of government. General Denals has certainly displayed considerable taste In his selection of furuishlng materials; but lt is an easy matter to spend another's hard-earu'jd money, and trie-tax? payers feel lt when they gaze on chandeliers large and costly enough to light a good sized cathedral. What with gas from lunes and the abcut equally expensive valuable gas from the gashouse, poor old South Carolina ls Indeed burdened. Beside all this, there ls a very evident desire to Increase thc number or attaches. In the Senate lt was proposed to have three doorkeepers Instead of two, as provided for by law. Ia the House, an amendment increasing thc attaches from nine to thirty-one was carried. THE STATE PRINTfNG. Among thc many fat pickings of the present government the State printing has proven to be, during thc past year, a most sweet morsel. So tempting lt seems to have been that every legis tor and lobbyist of any influence has been striv? ing to secure at least a share of thc plunder. The wisc ones have lt that Mr. Denny has pocketed during the past year from this s mme, outside of his berth as county treasurer, the sung sum of twenty-five thousand dollars. Mr. D., of course, clings to his hsrltagc with great tenacity, and lt will be a strong combination tint will oust Wm. Some timo since a. combinai ion was started by a certain piloting company lu Charleston, and by dint of constant hobnobbing with thc great pan Jamderura, ensconced In the lower corner of the Statehouse, ? sum of money was raised, and Den? ny bought out. Denny still continued to do bu? siness in his own name, and there seems to have been some falling through or arrangements. At present, two strong combinations are tus? sling with each other. Tho Daily Union, as cor? rectly reported to your Journal, ls a sort or fun? gus growth, or reeler Tor the present lucky State printer and some or his mends. Perhaps Mr. benny says, "deliver ns rrora our Mends," but that ls neither here nor there. Tho second combination includes some two or three young men or good business capacity, prac? tical printers, and represents a capital of over one hundred thousand dollars. They stand the best chance for success. The Phoenix, or this morning, announces its in? tention or putting In a bid. but reels not at all sanguine or success. O' course the highest mar? gins offered wlU decide thc matter. All those persona who are not candidates for the United States Senate seem to bc putting their Angers in this pie. THE NEW YORK COTTON EXCHANGE. How thc Institution will Ut nt fit the Trade. This institution, organized in New York, has been only seven weeks in operation, and has already produced highly b?n?ficiai results. As much as three hundred and fifty thousand bales of co; ton has changed hands, and lt has exercised thc most wholesome Influence In giving stability to prices. The prejudices against such an Insti? tution are rapidly giving way. It was thought in some way to bc connected with monopoly. It was conceived to give an lufluenco to capital con? centrated at a centre that attracts and enjoys nearly all the An uncial resurces or the country. These views are rounded en misconception. Let us calmly examine their grounds: ? L New York, from geographical position, com? mercial canses and financial resources, ls neces? sarily tho centro where the sales or produce and all the most Important negotiations for money takes place. 1 New York comprises the largest body or per? sons engaged In trade, who are acquainted with Its rules and are familiar with all i< a complexities. As a consequence, lt has ample materials for the formation of the various boards or committees essential to the operattous of Buch au institution. 3. New York, by its connections and correspun dence with thc most civilized portions or the globe, is the natur il organ or comim-rclal Intel? ligence for those parts or the United States, even the most remote rrom the great centres of com? mercial information in Europe. But on ab-tr- ct considerations and in reference to the interest of the producer such an Institution will be found of unquestionable benefit to the cot? ton trade. As regards disputes between buyer and seller, differences are easily adjusted when ti;ere ls a common arbiter. There are many such differences in a market tor a staple so valuable as cotton. A common standard as to quality is In? dispensable. Accordingly the New York Cotton Exchange has made low middling tho standard. Thia ls the basis or all contracts, and disputes as to grade receive a ready solution. In selling for future delivery the buyer diminishes lils chance of loss by paying differences before the maturity of the coutract, while the seller has the opportunity or realizing upon a falling market, [q this way there ls preserved au e ?uallty cf prices. Tte objection to sales for future delivery, like imitar sah-s for gold. Iles In the held for specula? tion as alleged to be extended, bat there ls this dluVrence: Gold -ls the regulator or all other values, while lt IB Impracticable to check specuia tiou In an article In such universal request as cot? ton. The great benefit, however, or Bales in ad? vance, ls that they give steadiness to prices, and prevent ruinous fluctuation. This results rrnin sales In an extensive m trket that gives a tone to prices. The laws or trade- ultimately regulate values: but ir the market ls adjusted by the influ? ence or ?blindant capital, supply and d mand are so equalized as to remove the causes or fluc? tuation. Let us Illustrate this position: Thc receipts or cotton at all the ports exceed those or last year at the sime time io.ooo bales, with larger receipts at the inland depots. It ls not Improbable that the re? ceipts one month hence will be lu excess 100.000 bales. Now ir this prospective excess could bo reduced hy only 60,000 bales, ic will prevent thar, pressure on the market which has a', times been so Injurious to the Interest of planters. It will distribute the supply over a longer period or time and tend to equalize prices. There will be no ac? cumulated surplus tn marker. Let us, on the other hand, suppose a deficiency. The planters will be admonished to hurry their crops to market, as lu the other case to withhold them from market until lt was relieved or a threatened excess. These considerations lead to the conclusion that ir all our great agricultural staples were brought within the Influence or the same causes, lt would diminish speculation in? stead or promote it. -Pr.

LATEST PEN PICTURES, DISPATCH EE- RT AV RIAL MESSENGERS. The Question of Food and thc Distribu? tion or Supplies-Story of the Pigeon Express- f lie Hopes of Trocha-Re? viving thc Spirit? of the Besieged. A fresh supply ol letters from Paris corres? pondents reaches ns by way of London. The latest date is October 00. We select from the cor? respondence received interesting passages : TH K FOOD Q0E8TI0N ls still the I m por ant one of the day, and the prob? lem ut distribution has not yet been soi v d in a satisfactory manner. The pour are still (October 21) forced to form queues . before the municipal staiis. receiving their quota of fresh meat only alter long hours of walting. Hither the municipality should open more stalls or return to the first syst em of allowing the botchers to make th - dlstrl SMon. In every quarter stalls are opened for e sale of horse meat, but it has not yet come Into general favor. The poor will not buy lt through a feeling ofjea'ousy of the rich as much as any? thing. . "The rich want the beef, and ihey w uki put un off with the horse.'! ls -the cry, and it is In vain ?hut the papers publish Btorlcs ofrtchfami* l>ea which are reduced to the use of this meat. A stall bus been opened just across the street, and so far as appearance goes, the meat ls ele? gant, but. Ike thousands of others, I should have to DO very hungry before eating lt. I have had four . days of life, when I was very glad to eat mule meat, but s i long as there ta bread and veg? etables, I shoul I pass the horse. It may be all Imagination, but lt ls hard to swallow a piece of this meat without having the reproachful eyes of some faithful animal fastened upon your face. Despite thc attempts to make lt popular I do not think horse moat will ever be eaten ex? cept as a last resort. To overcome the repug? nance of the poor lt ls proposed to open shops where the meat will De sold ready cooked. One cannot imagine a better looking table piece than .a roast of horse, for In appearance the meat ls far superior to beef. KEDUCTIOX OP JUTI0N3. To-?Jay (October 26) the ration of fresh meat has been considerably reduced, each person receiving only about half a pound for two days. This ls the ration of beef, mutton or pork only, for horse meat and asses eau still be bought at will. Don? key steaks now command a very high price, and the be*>t parts of the horse are so dear that the au? thorities will soon have to ration the poor wi;h that meat. It ts evident that thc consumption of horse has greatly Increased within a week, and one .?ees long trains before thc stalls where horse ls sold, as one formerly saw them before rhe other, shops. This ls doubtless due to the dif culiy of obtaining omer mear, but there is a great deal in habitude or custom. One muit confess that the repugnance to horse-flesh is an idea merely, and this repug? nance once conquered, one can eat horse with a relish. The donkeys eeemed to serve as a step? ping-stone to this end, for donkey-meat weat off rapidly, and when there was none, those who had eaten "lt took to horse without difficulty. To-day the butchery opposite my windows has disposed of five horses and two donkeys-the heads and lungs alone remaining unsold to-night. The gon? ers 1 use of horse-fl-sb will considerably prolong the siege. I was told that, at the ordinary ration, there remains beef and mutton for eight days only ; but as the ration has been rednced 0 le-half, and as one hair of the population is content to eat horse, this will give ns meat for twenty-four more days. HOPES. That Is, I believe, a few days over the tiru- de rounded by General Trocha; Rc hopes to bo ready for an attack-that ts. he hopes to have some kind of assistance from without-In about twelve or fifteen days. That he is confident of success is seen by a remark which he made this morning, to an AUK rican going out of the city. "It ls not worth the trouble yon take," remarked the gene ral. for before another mouth everybody can leave who wishes." Aud why sho ild he not succeed? Thc Germans have, say'three hundred thbusand men. at the highest figure, before Paris. One hun .dred thousand must be detached to meet the enemy without, (if, indeed, the ottlclal statements are true concerning that army,) und General Tro? cha has 2&n,00J able-bodied men -under his command, without counting the National Guard?, who can do rampart dnty. At all events, thc trial mast be m ide, and no one oan predict the result. Atone moment I feel a ray of hope: at another, I dcpalr of a victory over that strong, steady, victorious army without. The very sight of old Von Molkc's photograph, or a glance at thc firm eye and compressed lips of that aged King, makes one dread the day when the Dual conflict must come. One looks in vain for hope In thc face of Trocha, In the sullen counte? nance of Rochefort. or In thc weak and smirking self-complal-<anee of Jules Favre. Gambetta bas a brow which one can look upon, and an eye of Ure, while the calm dignity of Keratry's face commands respect; bur I nope lt will not be ?den sive to the French If I say that 11 Oner group or heads than those given In thc portraits of tue Ger mah chiefs were never placed in Paris wlnduws, VEGETABLES NEEDED. ' Thus far there has been no lack in necessary vegetables, althonuh the price has been raised a little. Potatoes are stilt abundant, and to-day the very finest of cauliflowers have been offered for sale ou the stre.its. A bunch of chicory, large I ! enough for a comfortable salad, ls still sold for 11 five or six sous. It seems that In the strip of land covered by the Ure of the forts trter? yet remains a Urge quantity of vegetables unfathered. Last week tim Government sent out a few hundred boys, gu irded by tue soldiers, to dig potatoes, and forty cart loads were* brought In. Now the Minister of the interior Issues a decree organiz? ing ?body of citizens for the purpose of gunering the vegetables In the environs of Paris. Each man thus engaged will receive ono franc per diem, or seveuty-Ove centimes, with the privilege of a certain amount of vegetables. Tue military ls ordered to protect the men engaged In this work. Tals ls a timely order, and lt will doubt less ?ive us a supply of fresh vegetub'.es for many days to come. BT riQEON' EXPRESS. * Communication with'he government at Tours has now boen established with tolerable regular! tv, thanks to a tew men who, for some years past, liave had a fancy for carrier-pigeons. These birds have been bred with great care, und only a few have been tried In bringing In news of the Chan? tilly rac?s. Bat their instincts are almost unerr? ing. Contrary to the cene ral suppositio 1, the best birds aro not the parents-ihose which hare raised-but the young birds of from eight to ten months. The prize-birds-that is. those which t ok drat prizes at the Exhibition I j here-are ' valued at 400 or 500 francs, or I 1 from (80 to $100. A geutleman who had near a hundred of these valuable pigeons I j was lately sent out to Tours tn a balloon. 1 carrying thirty of his peta. They are .'oosci with dlsp itches from time to tine; they Dy direct to the cote, and are carried back in a j balloon. The dispatches brought by pigeons are 1 now photographed, being reduced tn size S J that 1 a dispatch or the length of this paragraph can be put upon a piece or lin : paper, no larger than a twenty-five cent piece in sliver, with large '? magnlfytug-Klasses, the writing can bc easily 1 read. The paper ls very carefully bound around a Bingle feather npon the body, and care must ' be taken to fasten it so that the 'tension wld not Incommode 1 he bird, or he ??ay pause to pluck out the feather. Several birds arrived without dispatches, and, as. I; wa3 clearly due to the waut of expcrtcn<'G In fastening the paper, thc 1 owner of the pigeons was sent out to Tours. EFFORTS AT ANIMATION. Attempts are being continued to animate ns by a little music and occasional dramatic perform? ances. Tn-day wa had a religious ceremony at the Madeleine, cherubtni's requiem In Ut Mineur, and the funeral march from Beethoven's Heroic Symphony, were the musical selections accom? pany ng the mass, between which and theotfer t orv we hud an address iroui thc Abbe Dnquerry. It was admirably suited to the occasion, and his picture sf the desolation of France at the present moment created a great sensation. Tne Abbe has lost none or his old fire and power of language. The musical department was the gratuitous con? tribution or ihe .society ur Concerts ur the Conser? vatoire, which mustered in force, and d d Its part excellently. The ceremony waa for the beueOt or the wounded, sume hair-dozeu of whom occupied seats at thc side of thc left nave. Mlle. Havert, of the Theatre Francois, collected. Sha seemed to have great success. Experience of an American Lady. Au American lady, long resident or Paris-a distinguished artist, who ls still pursuing her studies and dolug her work amidst the turmoil or the siege, and who ls following the sortie parlies to gather fresh materials Tor her paintings-writes every ten days per balloon to her husband, who was compelled to return to this country on im? portant business. In a letter of recent date she writes as follows: I am doing something In painting every day. There ls scarcely anything thought of but the war, the siege, and to get enough to eat, and to make a Ure. This week our portion or meat for each grown person is cut down to about one eighth ot a pound per day, and will soon be to one-tenth of a pound. It ls thought there wlU be fresh meat about a month longer. Now people begin to eat horse meat freely. Two weeks ago hori-es were suld for ten cents each, or given away, for want of food. Now these same horses would br Int 300 francs to eat. Paris ls in gool condition, when we think it has stood the siege almost six weeks. General Trochn says be has bis plans and that he is sure or suc? cess withouk the provinces. He is waiting for guns to te made. He called for subscriptions for 1500 more cannon, and to day's papers say that the lists are already filled for looo. A large num? ber arc to be delivered by November 15. There are several hundred thousand French? men learning rapidly to bo soldiers. But I near that General Trochu doo3 mt intend to make any great attack before > tie last of November. It has certainly bees a great thing that the French have kept off the bombardment of Paris almost six weeks. The forts and the boats on the seine have dismounted thc batteries as fast as the Prussiaus have mounted them. 1 weat outside of Paris as far as the village of Issy, during the last great combat, when lt is sup? posed that the French lost soo and tho Prussians (who got lu between two or three fires) 12C-0. I saw the smoke and flash of the cannon, the move? ment of the troops, and the burning of the palace of St. Cloud. I met some of the Prussian prison? ers as they were being marched Into Paris. Ali Paris ls working to keep off the Prussians, and, when all Is ready, to make a grand attack. I shall not be surprised if we keep along about like this for several weeks longer. I think Paris can stand the siege for three months longer by living upon rice, Ac. Last sunday Mr. Fran?ais, Mr. Cordler and son, Rosa Bonhenr's sister and husband, all dined with me. They all seemed to enjoy lc very much, and said I had a delicious little dinner. No charcoal is to be nought; coke and coal are scarce, and very little gas is allowed to be burned. The streets are so dari; and still that I am almost afraid to go out with the bonne in the evening at 7 o'clock. I do not need to go ont often/ Purls ls very quiet and orderly. THE POPE A PRISONER. Reported Interview wita Archbishop Spalding-\ Taits. About Rome, the Pope, thc Council and Italian Unity .Sec. The "Interviewers" of Washington are get? ting to bc as notorious as those of New York. We published some talk reported by one of these: enterprising Individuals with Mr. Creswell on politics. Now wo And one of them talking with the venerable Archbishop of Baltimore, the mat? ter or which ls published in the Washington Re? publican. In this conversation the Archbishop is represented to have spoken In regard io the Pope, the Vatican Council, Italian unity, Aa, as follows: Why, slr, the Pope ls a prisoner to all Intents and purposes. The guards outside his palace belong to the Italian Ring. The few inside are ? tne Pope's, but they are powerless for anything. The ou tani- world has no idea of the state of things tu Rome at this moment. Those who write from there to the papers are carried away by the ignlaftiluus they call liberty, and can speak or nothing bnc the glorious dawn of freedom and tho unltlCitlon or Italy. Those who shout loudest about liberty have no more Idea of thc true mean? ing of the term th in our own Indians, ir lt be liberty to murder priests, outrage nuns, set re? ligion and the head of the church at defiance, desecrate the altars of God, and revile the things aud the traditions which have been held sacred for eighteen centuries, then there ls an abun? dance of lt. But as for any true conception of the thing, as for understanding that freedom In Its best and broadest sense ls perfectly compati? ble with reverence ror law, the established usages of society, thefo?ms of religion, and all else that enters Into the necessary compact beCwccu scien? tific aud political progress and Christian morali? ty, there la an utter want. AB to the Invasion of the Papal terri lory by King Victor Emanuel, lt was an act that tran? scends In guilt any outrage of the ceutury. It wa<t done In violation of solemn treaties guaran? teeing the independence of thc Pope. Advantage was taken of the difficulty In which France was Involved to steal away the territory which the PopeB have had for centuries. No reasons were assigned, no provocation complained or even, no declaration or war ma le; but troops were set tn motion and marched'down .upon Home like a gang of trained brigands. This was done on the film-iy pretext of political necessity, as ir any necessity could justify roobery and spoliation. There was more than injustice lc the crime. To violate the sanctity of a territory which all the 1 world agreed t>.hold sacred, and belonging not ; to the Pope, but to the millions or Catholics throughout the world, was flagrant sacrilege. This territory was essential to the free exercise or the Papal power. It bore to the Christian world the relative position that the District or Columbia holds to thc United States. It was considered that a small territory, like that or Rome, enjoy lug Independence or all thc neigh? boring States, would guarantee tho pontiffs an im Imunty from embarrassment In the execution of the duties pertaining to their sacred office-as the District of Columbia was found essential to give to the Congress and Government of the United < State a place of meeting and transacting the business or the nation untrammelled by thc influ? ence or any particular State or section. The de? sign of the Papal territory was similar. It was , wise In conception and conducive to the strength and Independence of the Papacy. The plebiscite submitted to the people was a dc- i oeptlon. At least fifteen thousand strangers to Rome were allowed to vote, and money was free? ly distributed to insure a voce lu favor of the in? vaders. Ten Napoleons bought as many votes, j Children were made electors, and the vilest char- , acters lee loose from the jaUs had a voice In the plebiscite. The respectable element of society la 1 Rome set their faces against the act and the pre- 1 tensions of the Italian Government. The whole , project was conceived and carried out with a wily pretence of serving the Interests of Rome and saving it from some sunposltlons enemy. The Klug knew that the outrage he was about to com? mit would arouse the Indignation of all Christen- I ilom, and hence the strenuous e farts he made to. , cover np the lnramy he was about to perpetrate hy assuming to take upon himself thc protection ? of the Uoly See and submitting a plebiscite to the people for his own oieatures to vote upon, . The Ocumeti leal Council would have lasted a year or so longer ir lt had not been for this treach- 1 emus invasion. The bishops had to fly ror their ' lives. An Oriental prelate, who happened to , wear a long beard, was sec upon in the streets one day and uearly killed. Several priests were assassinated, and murder at this moment stalks i through the streets or Rome unchallenged. Dur? ing the hot summer a number or bishops 1?re . Rome, leaving about two hundred, what might be called a quorum, behind. All would have re? turned in the winter, and the Connell wonld pro? ceed wh h Its business. We had a great deal to do before we could have adjourned. There were ' forty Importune questions left untouched on the breaking up of the Council. The dogma of inf alli- , hihtv was disposed of, but that was not th: mose lin "brunt matter we had lo consider. 1 We did not meet specially to define and settle I the dogma of infallibility, for that was virtually , decided before we met. The final vote taken In the fourth public session, held on the l8tn of July, stood-placet 633. non placet 2. It was an error to call lc an (Ecumenical Council. Ic was a simi iar council to those which have previously been ' :i-ld to consider all matters directly or Indirectly i affecting the church. Thc doctrine of Infallibility < was one of the questions which needed a fixed status. This has been given to ic, and lt ls now iet tied forever. Subjects on church discipline, on Hiing of vacant SHCS, oriental orders and foreign j missions, had to be left untouched. In regard to Papal Infallibility, the Archbishop states the proposition clearly and tersely. The Pope ls, of course, noe infallible as regards his temporal powers or decisions, or lt may be even as regards his private morals, although no man living ls personally purer than Plus IX ; but he ls infallible as the head of the Church, which ls In? fallible. The infallibility question was settled by the Ocumenlcal Council finally and beyond ap? peal, and lt was decided by an overwhelming vote after a full discussion. TROOPS FOR GEORGIA.

He claims that the Democratic party ls equally divid? ed. England, he said, thouid be brought to im? mediate account. It would be cowardly to press her when she was Involved la war. He blames the Democratic party for defeating valuable West India acquisitions, notwithstanding Its time-hon? ored desire for the acquisition of Cuba. Bailer suggests non-intercourse with Great Britain as the best means. to bring ber to terms. The reparation which England should make to the United States was her naval stations at Jamaica, Nassau and Bermuda. He did not ask Canada, bat Would be wining- for the people of the Dominion to settle their doctrines for them? selves by a vote. In speaking of the temptations to make war upon England, he said that lt would unite the entire country; would be a war upon the ocean, and inexpensive; would give os Cana? da, and as a Republican and partisan her would say that ?ach a war would perpetuate the Repub? lican party for more than three generations.

"I also considered the objections of the repre? sentatives of certain Indian tribes, through whose lands the projected lines of road would pass.
