After referring- to the menaoes against the Ooumenicsl Council establishing deoroea contrary to the modern ideas, it says: "The bishops de ? spise menaces. It Govern meut s make laws at variance with the decrees of the Council, the subjects will not be held to observe thom, and to exact obedionoe to suoh laws would bo odious tyranny. If Governments separate Church from State, tboy must expect terrible revolu? tions to overthrow ihem. Franco alono has been true to the ooncordat, nud tho Council will bear this in mind." PARIS, February 9.-Disorders were resumed at midnight, in the vicinity of the former disturbances. Several addi? tional barricades were orectcd in narrow streets. The troops still reservo their fire. The police made several charges, killing some. The lender, Gustave Flanrens, is still at large. At 3 o'clock, this afternoon, the police aud military had things under control, und tho city is tranquil. HAVANA, February 9.-Oveido, of tho diamond marriage notoriety, is dead.

WASHINGTON, February 9.-The New England Senators will join with the Southern Senators in opposing Bradley's confirmation,in favor of a judge from the South. The Judiciary,Committee heard fifteen Georgians to-day. The conserva? tives took ground that tho present Legis? lature was illegally constituted, on ac? count of admitting the minority candi? dates, and demanded a re-organization. Bollock and others spoke briefly in op? position. Senators Carpenter, Red mauds and Conkling remembered that, at a former hearing, Governor Bullock said that tbe expulsion of tho negroes and the seating of tho minority candi? dates in their stead was shore usurpa? tion. The oommitteo will hear the Georgia matter again cn Saturday, when Bullock, will be allowed to explain his apparently contradictory positions. The House is considering the Covodo con? test. It is presumed that a long discus? sion will take place. In the Senate, a bill was introduced, increasing the number of Supreme and Circuit Courts. The Judiciary Commit? tee was directed to inquire whether the Georgia Legislature was reconstructed in accordance with the Recoustructiou Acts. In the Senate, a resolution was intro? duced, directing the Judiciary Commit? tee to inquire whether thero has beeu ? any violation of the recoustructiou law by the Georgia Legislature. Morton spoko on his bill to prevent military aid in time of war to revolted subjects of foreign powers. The census bill waa laid on the table. The House seated Covodo by a strict party vote. The legislation and judicial appropriation bill was discussed, without final action. The President was re? quested to furnish information concern? ing the recent murder of Americans in Havana. itt Internal revenue receipts to-day $247, 000. The Retrenchment Committee will re? port in favor of placing the educational Kortion of the Freedman's Bureau in thc ands of the Commissioner of Educa? tion. . ? Domestic Ne WK. WHEELING, VA., February 'J.-The Legislature passed a bill abolishing lawyers' and teachers' teast oaths. RICHMOND, February 9.-The Govern? or sent in a supplementary message to the Legislature, relating chiefly to tho routine of State matters, and referring to the difficulty in finding Judges not disqualified by tho fourteenth amend? ment.

THE WRETCHEDEST WOMAN ZN NEW YORK.-The New York Sun describes tho "wretchedest woman" in that city as the wife of a Chinese- sailor, named Mow Weit-See, living in a room iu Cherry street. The Sun says: "She is a Catholic. Ile is n Pagan. They have three children, who have been educated mainly at the Howard Mission, and .who aro consequently neither Pagans nor Catholics, but are largely leavened with Protestantism. This commingling of religious elements sometimes brings about strange scenes in that dismal room. On ono occasion, the Catholic wife was found on her knees in ono corner devoutly saying her prayers and counting her beads, while ber hus? band was at the same timo crouched in another corner worshipping his heathen gods, and tho ohildrcn were singing a hymn whioh they had learned at the Mission School." The Postmaster-General reports that in the month cf January, there were sent from the Washington Post Office over 237,000 franked letters, at a cost of about $15,001), and 150 tons of printed matter, at a oost of $38,000.

Italian, clothed in tho attire- of tho bri- j gands of his nativo land, and wearing gold car-rings, was taken before Justice . Cox by Officor Geary, on charge of com- j mitting an ussault upon Theresa Anula. I About a year ngo Giovanni and Theresa lived in Puris, and tho former fell despe- ? rately in lovo with tho latter. Time j wore away. Theresa gave her assurance of the return of that love which Gio? vanni bore her. Nothing was now wanting to complete the happiness of Giovanni but tho ceremony which should mako Theresa his wife. The day had been fixed for tho wedding; but previous to that day auother person appeared on the scene, and Giovanni bad a rival. At length Theresa began to receive Gio? vanni coldly, and one evening when he c lied nt tho house where she had lived, she had gone-where, he knew not. By dint of persistent inquiry ho learned that the falso Theresa nnd bis rival had sailed from Franco to New York. For a time he was overwhelmed, but at length his sorrow gavo way to a desire for re? venge. Ho resolved to follow, and but a week or two afterward he was in hot pursuit on tho Atlantic. On his arrival in Now York ho hit upon a plan of ope? rations. He hired au organ, and travel? ed the length and breadth of the city from early dawn until late at night, dis? coursing "Champaguo Charlie," "Shoo Fly," and other popular airs. Ho was constantly ou the watch for thieves. On Saturday he was in Sullivan street hard at work with bis organ, when, at? tracted by tho music, a charming bru? nette of about nineteen summers looked out of a second-story window of 67 Sullivan street. She listened attentively a moment and then withdrew, uncon? scious of tho presonce of her discarded lover. Ho meantime had seen her, watched her, and as soon os she retired tho music ceased. Giovanni threw his organ to the ground and leaving it on tho side-walk, rushed into tho house, up? stairs, burst the door, and confronted the false Theresa. Ho did not address her as he was wont to do when they used to meet in Paris. But instead, drawing a double-barrelled loaded pistol, pointed it at her head. It missed fire. Theresa had by this timo regained her self-pos? session, and when the infuriated Gio? vanni was about to renew tho assault, she sprang forward shrieking, and wrested tho pistol from his hand. Ho, however, had come well-prepared, and putting his hand to Ins side drew out a murderous dirk-knife, nnd was about ip consummate his revenge, when officer Geary, who had been attracted by the shrieks of Theresa, rushed into tho room and gavo Giovanni a blow with his locust, knocking the knife from bis bands. Giovanni was taken before Jostico Cox, but, singularly, Theresa would not appear to make a complaint, and officer Geary, by the direotion of the justice, preferred a charge against the discarded lover for carrying con? cealed weapons. Ho was committed in default of $1,000 bail.-New York Sun. Representative Truman H. Hoag, of Toledo, Ohio, the Democratic soooessor in the House to impeachment Ashley, died in Washington Saturday night. dom in a middle party are indulging in a "delusion and a anare." We commond to auch the following extract from the Richmond Enquirer and Examiner. After showing the unavoidable necessity of parties and of men taking part in them, this paper says: "We repeat, therefore, that the idea of swimming along quietly without dis? turbing the wuter, is a mere chimera, a dream of the philosopher, na fanciful as 1 Plato's republie. T?tere will be parties, und we huvo to set ont with that inevita? ble fact. The sole practical question is the character of tho organization which can most efficiently oppose tho radical pnrty. Borne express a desire for a mid? dle part;/. The objection to thia is, that it results iucvitnbly in giving tho reins to the Republican party. All middle par? ties aro inherently weak. In politics, the trumpet must utter no uncertain sound. The attempt to play the bat iu the fierce struggle now going on in the politics of this country-between tho conflicting systems of consolidation and Constitutional Government-will give satisfaction to nobody, and accomplish no results for th? neutral party. We cuunot maintain, ht. i? in Virginia, u half fish, half-flesh party, i Ming on no dis? tinctive principles, in affiliation with no national organization. The thing cnn not be done, aud it will be a mere waste of time to attempt it. Ultimately, wcshnll act with ono or tho other of tho great existing parties, and in politics, aa in war, ttie path to success, is boldness and promptness. While the great conserva? tive nrmy of Virginia stands wavering, precious moments nre lost that eau not be recalled, and defections will tnke place that will not take place, if tho bugle is sounded and the staudards advanced. Delay ts oulyfbr the benefit of the radi? cal party. Jliddt? positions aro only for the benefit of th? radical party; for tho middle ground is a crumbling soil that will fall away from under the feet, and so give opportunity to many to scramble into radical the ranks. It isa half-way house-a border-land a narrow isthmus from which barks may bo lauuehed into either sea. Therefore, we say, let tho trumpets sound." THE TRUTH COMINO OTT AT LABT. The Patterson (Now York) Guardian publishes the following noto, which hos I a special and peculiar interest nt tho pre- | sent time: MR. EMTOI:: I was a prisoner nine months-kept thero because Secretary .Stanton would not permit me to bo ex? changed; kept there because Stanton j made the devilish declaration that he ? was mit willing to exchange able-bodied j rebels fm- emaciated Uniou prisoners; kept there because of Stanton's punctilio about acknowledging tho rebels ns bel? ligerents; kept there till my health was ruined and a wreck left of my former self. Stanton is dead now. May Clod be moro merciful to him than ho was to the thousands who perished ut Anderson ville and other Southern prisons, be causo he refused our exchange, and for a long while even refused medicines to be sent us. I am an humble soldier whnt is left of mo-and although I be? long to no association, and do not lec? ture every three weeks about Audersou ville, I suffered there, aud saw thousands carried out dead, because Stanton was at tho head of thu War Department. ANDERSON VILLE. Under the French forms, Rochofort, thc convicted disturber of tho peace, was permitted, if ho so elected, to enter au appeal from his sentence. It is evident that ho has decided to become a martyr, aud, as the time for tho appeal has elapsed, the condemnation becomes final. Tho Ministry aie determined to put the sentence in execution, and the d?fendant has been notified to surrender himself for the purpose of serving out his six month's imprisonment. His whereabouts are apparently unknown at present. Gustave Flourens, the young man who was so violont on the day of Victor Noir's funeral, and who raved to load the peo? ple to insurrection, is to bo prosecuted for incendiary language used in a speech at a recent political meeting. Tho Savannah papers mention that a contractor of the Gulf Railroad, by the namo of George F. Mercer, was thrown from tho cars noar Station No. 1, and run over. Ile was horribly mangled, and must have died instantly. The Re? publican gives a rumor that Mercer was murdered a short distance from tho railroad, and the body placed on tho track. The reason for this supposition is said to be that a pool of blood was discovored near the place where his body was found, and tho inference is that the murderers placed the body on the track for tho purpose of concealing thc crime. A terrible accident occurred on thu Roston and Albany Railroad, by the un? coupling of a long freight train about | tho centre, while aeconding a steep grado, West of Chatham Village, tho de? tached half running down tho elope with great rapidity and into another freight train coming after. Tho cars and the locomotive were piled in ruinous con? fusion, instantly killing the conductor, fireman and a brakeman, and injuring j another fireman and a brakeman. P ?
