The noon dispatches yesterday indrcaethat the oreat straggle between the French and Prus- thegrea - mo j; B t e lv pending. The French Bians is now immediately peuu* g hare fallen hack on Metz and the lino of the “Bine Moselle.” The Prussians occupied Faul Kuement, ten to fifteen miles from Metz, day before yesterday, and their pickets must have been in sight of each other all day yesterday, if ihe forces did not join battle. We suppose Ul3 French mean to make a mighty straggle here to roll hack the tide of invasion, and if they fail the disaster will be franght with a terrible aignificance. The issue will hardly be long de layed. In a day or two, at farthest, we must get news of tremendous import. Indeed this very issue of the Telegraph and Messenger may very possibly contain it in the later dis patches. The French political news is also very im portant. The Ollivier ministry had been driven out by force of popular indignation and a new one formed with tho distinguished General Count Palikao. A Strong Card. Wo by no means believe that Napoleon’s for tunes are so desperate as the miserably pre judiced English accountswe receive represent them, but even if they were, he has one card in his hand, the playing of which, though it would not save him, might ruin his adversary. It is the cord of Red Republicanism, which would wake a demon more terrible oven than needle guns or mitraillcurs. If Paris is in inurnment danger, let him turn loose the Red Republicans of France and a flame is kindled winch will lick np like dry straw the thrones of Europe. There is not a monarchy in Europe that would not feel the heat of this terrible fire. It has smouldered many years, but the coals still glow and only need the potent breath of such leaders os Garibaldi, Rochefort, Victor Hugo and others to be kindled into a scorching, devouring flame. Red Republicanism is strong er to-day in Europe than it was in 1848, though seemingly just the reverse. In England and Ireland it has made rapid strides, and would give to the grand uprising on the Contioentmost powerful assistance. The King of Prussian doubtless dreams of Paris as his headquarters day and night.— Would it not be one of the most startling epi sodes in history should that prize be wen at the expense of a popular revolution whose ending might find him without a throne or a foot of earth he could call his own? Stranger things avo happened, and history has recorded them. Prolongation Bailies. According to tho Atlanta Constitution the Re publicans of thatcity opposed to “Prolongation” held a meeting in that city Wednesday night, Which was set upon by Capt. E. Blodgett, the Spotted Horse, O'Neal and others and much annoyed by their bullyings. The bullies finally got the concern into their hands and called on the great Wauhoo to speak, but he told them ho was ashamed of their conduct and would not abase himself by speaking to such men. Far row, who made the opening speech at the meet ing, said that in common with Mr. Blodgett and others, he endeavored to have that part of the Constitution of Georgia stricken ont which brought on an election in Nov., 1870, but the voice of Congress wa3 against striking out and in favor of an election being held. As a national Republican ho was bound to support the act of Congress. When the conference committee was in session, Mr. Blodgett exhibited to at least one dozen Senators a telegram from Atlanta, saying: “Prevent the conference committee from reporting. Stave off action. E. B. Bui. lock." This ho read with his own eyes. The Agency on Wednesday. In the Senate, the Committee on Enrollment recommended “twelve gentlemen” as clerks, in aocordanoe with a resolution of the Senate. Patrick O'Keefe was appointed Assistant Door keeper at $5 per day. The following bills passed: To authorize Glynn county to issue $75,000 in bonds for a Conrt House. To change the time of holding courts iu the Macon Circuit. To change the name of City Banking Company of Macon. The bills to amend the charter of Lumpkin, to incorporate the Southwest and City Banks of Albany, and to amend the charter of Albany, were lost. In the House, the resolution to pay the mem bers one hundred dollars each was reconsidered and referred to the Finance Committee. A number of bills were read a second time and referred. Sundry bills were received from the Senate as having passed that body, and were read tho first time. The report of tho Com mittee recommending $5,000 to the State Printer was taken up and adopted. Prolongation Laid Ont! A private dispatch from Atlanta received last night at 5 o’clock says, “Prolongation is killed deader than Another dispatch says the majority in the House against it was seven. If there are any democratic members who got leave of absence from the House in order to dodgo this vote they can now return. Tho thing is over, and they have earned their money. We congratulate the State on the failuro of this wretched scheme to swindle and defraud the people. Let tho Atlanta Intelligencer tell ns how all his lofty ex cathedra prognostications of tho success of this swindle in the House broke down. Give us the secret history. Yon know all about it. Wesleyan Female College. Tho Fall term of this well known institution commences on the 3d October next, and we doabt sot its list of students will continue to demonstrate the growing influence and reputa tion of this College. To increase the sphere of its usefulness the expenses of board and taition have been reduced to the lowest point. The sum of $315 covers the entire cost of board and tuition for tho sessional year. We presume thero is hardly a similar institution' in the United States—certainly not one of equal repu tation and educational facilities which is able to offer so low termB to students. See tho ad vertisement. Not Dead Yet.—We learn from a Richmond dispatch, of the Oth inst, that all the fool3 arc not dead yet The French Consul at that place announces through tho papers, that he cannot accept 'tho services of the ex-Confederato sol- diers who wish to join the French army. What interest, we ahouldlike to know, have theso sol diers in fighting for France ? They may sym pathize as much as they like with Napoleon, but they owe him nothing else. Their place is at homo. Virginia claims all their hearts, brains and muscles. She is not out of the woods, yet. Generally speaking, a man J who will not stand by his own folks when they need him, is not worth much to anybody else. The real ex-Confederates of Virginia are giving their best services to her, and have no time nor incli nation for any other business. Washouts, the carpet-bag Governor of Lou isiana, recently assulted a negro in Nf-zOrleans, and the negro got ont a warrant against him. The Courts,however, being owned by Warmouth the negro failed to get justice, and he therefore challenged the developer to fight a duel, which he declined. Now let the negro go for him ala Tapper, and give him a genteel thrashing. That's his only chance. University of Georgln—Changes Made at the Recent Meeting of the Board of Trustees.

The admissions to the various classes from the schools of Athens and from the High School, before Commencement, numbered 24, Students from distance do not generally pre sent themselves till just before the Fall session commences, and of course there is no means of arriving at their probable number now. Why Bool Ii Killed President Lincoln The New York Democrat, to the length of some eight columns, narrates the reason why Booth assassinated the late President Lincoln. Booth was tenderly attached to John Yates Beall, of Virginia, an officer in the Confederate service. Beall had conceived the idea of releas ing the Confederate prisoners, to the number of twelve thousand, confined on Johnson’s Is land, in Lake Erie, and had procured a commis sion for that purpose from the Confederate Government. He was, however, arrested—tried a3 a spy and sentenced to death. Under these circumstances Booth, and at hi3 solicitation, John P. Hale, of New Hampshire, G. W. Mc Lean, of Cincinnati, and CoL John W. Forney, waited on Mr. Lincoln, at night, and after the most earnest entreaties, Mr. Lincoln promised to interpose and pardon Beall—pledging his word of honor to that effect. Subsequently, however, through the influence of Mr. Seward, Mr. Lincoln was induced to recall his promise and Beall was executed. The Democrat says: When Booth learned that Lincoln had lied to him, andmot kept his sacred promise, his face turned to the pallor of death, his lips became white, his eyesseemedready to burst from their sockets, and he swore by the Eternal God that he would kill the man who had lied to him, and that his own right hand, then raised to Heaven, should avenge the death of his comrades. And lie did! Booth called to his counsel but a few friends, some of whom were in Washington, two of whom wero not. He marked the President for his own avenging, and to others was given in charge to kill Seward at the same hour, for his interference. _ to As we believe, under the directing power of another world, Booth’s hand did avenge the death of Beall. He was the martyr to private feelings, for he knew that almost certain death awaited him, but he cared not for that. Inflamed by revenge—going like a bolt of. wrath to the President, he fired tho shot which sent echo after echo down the long lano reach ing to the future. le kept his word—he avenged the death of his friend, and a wondrous Providence dealt then with him as the world knows of. But Seward lived. There was not that “light ning” in the hearts of those who were deputed to aid Booth in his avenging that filled the soul of the one who settled so terribly in full with tho President. : And so died Abraham Lincoln, not by the hand of one who struck in behalf of a nation, hut by the hand of a fiery, impetnons stage walking tenement of chivalry. 'Had he kept his word, he would not (hen and there have died, no matter what his fate afterward. i'lesr Bale oy AlabamaCotton.—The Mont gomery Advertiser, of 'the 10th, says the first bale of cotton of the new crop was received i in that ciiy last night from the plantation of Messrs. Jackson & Trimble, three miles from this city. It will be sold at auction this morn ing. The first bale received last year was from the plantation of B. D. Chapman, on the llth of August. •<ii J: Vi •• ‘-n A large number of the business men of Phila delphia, irrespective of party have formed an association to resist in every legal way the col lection of the income tax. Prize Fight Near Montgomery.—The Ad vertiser reports a prize fight at Shorter’s depot, near Montgomery, last Saturday, between one Ferner, an Englishman, and Donnelly, a na tive of the Emerald Isle. The Advertiser flourishes with the flash terms of tho art with surprising facility for a novice. The con clusion of the whole matter was that after sixty rounds the fight was declared to be drawn. The Georgia Press. Augusta had one of the heaviest rains of the season Tuesday. Columbus didn’t have a drop, and is as'dry as a powder horn. - Washington county shows 1,136 white polls, and 1,267 black ditto. The value of land is $1,411,250, and total value of whole property $2,302,855—an increase over valuation of I860 of $355,820. The United States District Court was opened at Savannah, Tuesday, but no Judge being present, was adjonrnedto the first Monday in September. Lightning struck a tenement house in Savan nah, Tuesday morning, in which there were six negroes, and after demolishing the chimney and rafters, and stripping off the weather-boarding of each of the houses, passed ont without doing any damage except killing a dog. Captain Lewis and his first and second mates, of the brig Celia M. Long, now loading at Brunswick with lumber, were arrested and brought to Savannah Tuesday, charged with a murderous assault on four of the crew, but were discharged by the United States Commis sioner. On the the 5th of July, the jewelry store of S. P. Hamilton, Savannah, was robbed of 32 diamond and other rings, valued at $3,500—an item which the News, of Wednesday, publishes for the first time—in acforonnn to the detectives who, np to this date, have succeeded, as usual, in—neither finding the thief nor recovering any of the booty. The Columbus Enquirer has the following ac count of a church disturbance in that neigh borhood: More of the Church Disturbance.—We learn some further particulars of the distur bance at Soule Chapel, Sunday night, from A. R. Spencer, who is pastor and was at the time preaching. The meeting commenced Priday, and was progressing finely. About 9 o’clock Sunday night a man (whether white or black is yet unknown) rode up on a black horse, and sent in word that unless the crowd was dis persed in ten minutes the church would be fired upon. The congregation did not disperse be fore half-past ten. Some five hundred persons were present. Another colored preacher, named Henry Haywood, was with Spencer in the pul pit. As the freedmen were retiring a parly of them were fired into from a dark clomp of trees. The weapon used was a double-barreled shot gun. A number of shots were fired, and four persons were wounded. A woman was shot through both legs, and was seriously hurt; a man was shot in the hip, and escaped a bad wound by having a newspaper in his pocket; a third was shot in the arm, and a fourth had his head grazed. It is supposed that a bad state of feeling had grown np betweon members of the African Methodist Church and the Methodist Episcopal Church, the latter (being the one in session Sunday night) having won to its mem bership a large number of persons from the former, and the intention was to kill the preach ers. So Spencer thinks. A large number of white and colored citizens were to meet yester day for the purpose of ferreting out tho offend ers. The result of the meeting has not reached us. We get the following items from the Newnan Defender, of Wednesday: Importation oe Chinese to Newnan.—We learn through our friend Mr. John Smith, who was sent this spring to Hong Kong, China, as agent of the “Coweta County Immigration So ciety,” that he has arrived in Savannah with 300 Coolies, and will as soon as practicable be here with ms Celestials. We will state that of this number thore are 250 contracted for, the balance to bo hired ont on arrival. Among their number are several first-class cooks, who have been in the employ of some of the best mandarin families of Can ton and Hong Kong. The prices asked for their services will be from four to ten dollars per month. They are represented as being frugal and strictly honest Savannah, Griffin and North Alabama, Railroad.—Wo are informed that the track of this road is completed from Griffin to within six miles of this place, and that the work of grading keeps steadily ahead of the tracklay ers. But a few more weeks and this road will be finished to this point. The active superin tendent of the Savannah, Griffin and North Alabama Railroad, L. Kendrick, Esq., has ar ranged to open tho road for passengers to this place, to go into operation on to-day. The cars ran to North’s, eight miles from here, and the connection is completed by first-class four horse coaches, making close connection at North’s. The fare is fixed at the very low rate of $2 from Newnan to Griffin; the trains also make close connection with the trains of Macon and West ern Railroad, at Griffin. As the track is laid the staging will be shortened. P. S. We think the Chinese item is a hoax, bnt that’s the Defender’s business—not ours. The Savannah papers make no mention of any such arrival. Messrs. S. W. Brown, E. A. Burch, E. B. Gilbert and J. J. Sparrow are the Pulaski county delegates to the State Democratic Con vention. The Rome Commercial says: An Outrage.—A negro on Saturday ovening last shot a young girl while passing from her home to the house of a neighbor. After shoot ing her he struck her over the head with his gun, and it is thought outraged her. This horrible affair took place in Sugar Valley, on the Selma, Rome and Dalton Railroad. The Atlanta Georgian says: We are happy to know that the most influen tial and intelligent colored voters of the State are outspoken in their opposition to the pro longation plot. They say it is an outrage upon tho rights of the people, and that they would rather die than support it. We learn from high authority that nearly all the colored people in Augusta are anti-prolongationists. The some is true of the colored population of Atlanta. We are glad to see this large class of voters tak ing the right direction. It speaks well for their present and future prosperity. Stephens’ Constitutional View op the War Between the States—Its Causes, Character and Results.—The publishers send us the sec ond volume of this work. It is adorned with portraits of Mr. Stephens, Gen. Beauregard, Mr. Toombs, President Lincoln, Mr. Douglas, Jefferson Davis, Gen. Lee, Gen. Johnston, and President Grant. / In the first volume of his work Mr. Stephens confined himself entirely to a dissussion of tho causes which led to the secession of the South. In the volume now before us, he narrates the story of tho war, giving especial emphasis to the action of tho government of the Confedera cy, or to what may be called its confidential his tory. His account of the important conference at Hampton Roads between President Lincoln and the Confederate Commissioners, is one of the most valuable additions to the literature of the war, and is in itself worth tho price of the entire work. The vexed question of the non exchange of Prisoners of War has much new light shed npon it, and tho peaco movements in the South are thoroughly explained. The fact that the first volume, which was but the Intro duction of the History of tho War, commanded a sale of over 60,000 copies, folly warrants the assertion that this volume, which is not n mere discussion of principles, bnt a living, breathing narrative.of the events of the great straggle of modern times, by one of the most important actors in it, will reach a sale unprecedented in this country. No fair-minded, unprejudiced person can afford to be without this book. It is the official history on the Southern side, and must hold in the literature of tho war even a higher place than is accorded to Mr. Greeley’s American Conflict. It will occupy in our his tory the place that is given to Napoleon’s Me moirs in the literature of the French Empire. It is like that work the last production of its gifted author, and is entitled to all the weight which attaches to the high character of a great leader presenting to, the world the story of his cause in vindication of it The book is sold by sub scription only, and agents are wanted in every county.

Dogmatic Decree of Ihe Ecumenical Conn ell—-Primacy, Power anti Perpetuity of tlie Pontiffs—The Church One and Uner* lag from Peter to Pins the Ninth. [From the advance sheets of the Catholio World for September. J . Pius, Bishop, Servant of the Servants of Ood, with the Approbation of the Holy Council, for a Perpetual Bmembranee Hereof: The eternal shepherd and bishop of our living God, all the faithful should be united by the bond of the same faith and charity, foi which reason before he was glorified he pray ed the Father, not for the Apostles alone, but also for those who through their word would believe in him, that they all might be one, as the Son himself and the Father are one. (John xvii, 1-20.) Wherefore, even as he sent the apostles, whom he had chosen from the world, as he had been sent by tbupwlier, so be willed that there should be pastors and teachers in His Church even to the consum mation of the world. Moreover,. to the end that .the Episcopal body itself might be one and undivided, and that the entire multitude of believers might be preserved in oneness of faith and of communion, through priests cleaving mutually together, he placed the blessed Peter before the other apostles and established in him a perpetual principle of this two-fold unity, ana a visible foundation on whose strength “the eternal temple might be built, and in whose firm faith the Church might rise upward until her summit reach the heavens.” (St. Leo the Great, sermon iv, or iu, chapter 2, on Christmas.) Now, seeing that in order to overthrow, if possible, the Church, the powers of hell on every side, and by a hatred which increases day by day, arc assailing her foundation which was placed by God, we, therefore, for the preservation, tho safety and the increase of the Catholic flock, and with the approbation of the sacred Coun cil have judged it necessary to set forth the doctrine which, according to the ancient and constant faith of the universal church, all the faithful must believe and hold, touching the institution, the perpetuity and the nature of the sacred apostolic primacy, in which stands the power and strength of the entire Church; and to proscribe and condemn the contrary errors so hurtful to the flock of the Lord. CHAPTER L OF THE INSTITUTION OF THE APOSTOLIC PRI MACY IN THE BLESSED PETER. We teach, therefore, and declare that, ac cording to the testimonies of the Gospel, the primacy of jurisdiction over the whole Church of God was promised and given immediately and directly to blessed Peter the apostle by Christ our Lord. For it was to Simon alone to whom ho had already said, “Thou shalt be called Cephas,” (John i, 42,) that, after he had professed his faith, “Thou art Christ, the Son of the living God,” our Lord said, “Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-Jona, because flesh and flood hath not revealed it to thee, but my Father who is in heaven; and I say to thee, thou art Peter, and upon this rock I ;eys ot the kingdom whatsoever thou shalt bind upon earth it shall be bound also in heaven) and whatsoever thou shalt loose upon earth it shall be looked also in heaven.” (Matthew xvi, 16-19.) And it was to Simon Peter alone that Jesus, after His resurrection, gave the jurisdiction of supreme shepherd and ruler over the whole of His fold, saying, “Feed my lambs“feed my sheep.” (John xxi, 15-17.) To this doc trine, so clearly set forth in the sacred Scrip tures, as the Catholic Church has always un derstood it, are plainly opposed the per verse opinions of those who, distorting the form of government established in His Church by Christ our Lord, deny that Peter alone above the other apostles, whether taken separately one by one or all together, was en dowed by Christ with a true and real primacy of jurisdiction; or who assert that this pri macy was not given immediately and directly to blessed Peter, but to the Church, and through her to him, as to the agent of the Churcn. If, therefore, any one shall say that blessed Peter the apostle.was not appointed by Christ our Lord, the prince of all the apostles and the visible head of the whole Church militant, or that he received directly and immediately from our Lord Jesus Christ only the primacy of honor and not that of true and real juris diction, let him be anathema. CHAPTER II. OF THE PERPETUITY OF THE PRIMACY OF PETER IN THE ROMAN PONTIFFS. What the Prince of Pastors and the great Shepherd of the sheep, Our Lord Jesus Christ, established in the person of the bless ed apostle Peter for the perpetual welfare and lasting good of the Church, the same through his power must needs last forever iu that Church, which is founded upon the rock, and will stand firm till the end of time. And in deed it is well known, as it has been iu all age3 that the holy and most blessed Peter, prince and head of the apostles, pillar of the faith and foundation of the Catholio Church, who received from our Lord Jesus Christ, the Saviour and Redeemer of mankind, the keys of the kingdom of heaven, to this pres ent time and at all times, lives and presides secrated by his blood. (Council of Eph.. sess. iiL, St. Peter Chrys. Ep. ad Eutych.) Peter, in this chair, holds, according to Christ’s own institution, the primacy of Peter over the whole church. What, therefore, was once established by Him who is the truth, still re mains, and blessed Peter, still retaining tbe strength of the rock, which has been given to Mm, has never left the helm of the Church originally entrusted to him.. (St. Leo, Ser mon iiL, chap, iii.) For this reason, it was always necessary for every other Church—that is, the faithful of all countries—to have re course to the Roman Church on account of its superior headship, in order that being joined, as members to their head, with this See, from wMch tbe rights of religious com munion flow unto all, they might do knitted Into the unity of one body. (Sti Iremuus against Heresies, book ill., chap. 3,. Epist. of Council of Aquileian, 3S1 to Grattian, chap. 4 of Pius VI., Brief. Super Ibid, itate.) If, therefore, any one shall say, that it is not by tho institution of Christ our Lord himself, or by divine right, that blessed .Peter has per petual successors in the primacy over, the whole Church, or that the Roman pontiff is not the successor of blessed Peter iu this pri macy, let him be anathema. CHAPTER HI. OF THE POWER AND NATURE OF THE PRI- 3IACY OF THE ROMAN PONTIFF. Wherefore, resting upon tho. clear testi monies of holy writ, and following the full and explicit. aecree of our predecessors, the Roman pontiffs and of general councils, we renew the definition of tho Ecumenical Coun cil of Fiorence, according, to wMch all tho faithful of Chnst must believe that tho holy Peter, the prince of the apostles, and tho true vicar of Christ, and is the head of the whole Church, and the father and teacher of all Christians, and that to Mm, in the blessed Peter, was given by our Lord Jesus Christ full power of feeding, ruling and governing the universal Church, as.is also set forth in the acts .of the Ecumenical Councils and in the sacred canons. Wheiefctre we teach and declare that the Ro man Church, under divine Providence, posses ses a headship or ordinary power over all other Churches, and that this power of jurisdiction of the Roman pontiff, which is truly episcopal, is immediate, toward whioh the pastors and faithful of whatever rite and dignity, whether singly or all together, are bound by the duty of hierarchical subordination or of true obedience, Dot only in things which appertain to faith and morals, but likewise in those things which con cern the discipline and government of the Church spread throughout the world, »o that being united with the Roman pontiff, both in oommunicn and in profession of the same faith, the Church of Christ may be one fold under one chief shepherd. This is the doctrine of j Catholio truth, from which no one can depart without loss of faith and salvation. So far, nevertheless, is this power of the su preme pontiff from trenching on that ordinary power of episcopal jurisdiction by which the bishops, who have been inatitnted by the Holy Ghost, and have succeeded in the place of the apostles, like true shepherds, feed and rale the flocks assigned to them; each one his own; that, on the contrary, this their power is as serted, strengthened and vindicated by the su preme and universal pastor, as St. Gregory the Great saith: “My honor is the honor of the universal Church; myhonoristhe solid strength of my brethren; then am I truly honored when to each one of them the honor due is not de nied.” (St. Gregory Great adEuloguius, Epist. 80.) Moreover, from that supreme authority of the Roman pontiff to govern the universal Church there follows to him the right, in the exercise of this his office, of freely communica ting with the pastors and flocks of the whole Church, that they may be taught and guided by him in the way of salvation. Wherefore, we condemn and . reprobate the opinions of those who say that this communica tion of the supreme head with the pastors and flocks can be lawfully hindered, or who make it subject to the secular power, maintaining that the things whioh are decreed by the Apostolic See or under its authority for the government of the Church have no foroe or value unless they are confirmed by the approval of the secu lar power. And since, by the divine right of apostolio primacy, the Roman Pontiff presides over the universal Churches we also teaoh and declare that he is the supreme judge of the faithful (Pius VL brief super, soliditate,) and that in all causes calling for ecclesiastical trial recourse may be had to his judgment, (Second Council of Lyons,) but the decision of the Apos tolio See, above which there is no higher au thority, cannot bo reconsidered by any one, nor is it lawful to any one to sit in judgment on his judgment. (Nioholas I. epist. ad michaelem Imperatorem.) Wherefore they wander away from the right path of truth who assert that it is lawfal to ap peal from the judgments of the Roman Pontiffs to an eenmenioal council, as if- to an authority superior to the Roman Pontiff. Therefore, if any one shall say that the Ro man pontiff holds only the charge of inspec tion or direction, and not full and supreme power of jurisdiction over the entire Church, not only in things which pertain to faith and morals, but also in those whioh pertain to the discipline and government of the Church spread throughout the whole word; or that he pos sesses only the chief part, and not the entire plentitude, of this supreme power; or that this, his power, is not ordinary and immediate, both as regards all and each of the churches and all and each of the pastors and faithful, let him be anathema. CHAPTER IV. OF THE INFALLIBLE AUTHORITY OF THE ROMAN PONTIFF IN TEACHING. The Holy See has ever held, the unbroken custom of the Church has proved, and the Ecu menical Councils—those especially in which the East joined with the West in union of faith and of charity—have declared that in this apos tolic primacy which the Roman Pontiff holds over the universal Church, as successor of Pe ter, the prince of apostles, there is also con tained the supreme power of authoritative teaching. Thus the fathers of. the Fourth Council of Constantinople, following in the footsteps of their predecessors, put forth this solemn profession: The first law of salvation is to keep the rale of true faitb. And whereas the words of our Lord Jesus Christ cannot be passed by, who said: “Thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church (Matt, xvi, 18.) These words, which he spake, are proved true by facts, for in tho Apostolic Seo the Catholic religion has ever been preserved unspot ted and the holy doctrine has been announced. Therefore, wishing never to bo separated from the faith and teaching of this See, wo hope to be wor thy to abide in that one communion which the Apostolic See preaches, in which is tho full and true firmness of the Christian religion. (Formulas of St. HormisdaB Pope, as proposed by Hadrian II. to the fathers of the eighth General Council (Con- stantinop. IV.), and subscribed by them. So, too, the Greeks, with the approval of the Second Council of Lyons, professed that the holy Roman Church holds over the universal Catholic Church a supreme and full primacy and headship, which she truthfully and humbly acknowledges that she received from the Lord himself in blessed Peter the prince or head of the apostles, of whom the Roman Pontiff is the successor, and as she, beyond the others, is bound to defend the truth of the faith, so if any questions arise concerning faith, theyshould bo decided by her judgment. And finally the Council of Florence defined that the Roman Pontiff is the true vicar of Christ and the head of the whole Church, and the father and teacher of all Christians, and that to him, in the blessed Peter, wa3 given by our Lord Jesus Christ full power of feeding and ruling and governing the universal Church. (John xxi., 14-17.) In order to fulfil this pastoral charge, our predecessors have ever labored unweariedly to spread the saving doctrine of Christ among all the nations of the earth, and with equal care have watched to preserve it pure and unchang ed where it had been received. Wherefore the bishops of tho whole world, sometimes singly, sometimes assembled in synods, following the long established custom of the churches (S. Cyr il, Alex., ad S. Coelest, Pap.) and the form of ancient rale (St. Innocent L to councils of Carthage and Millevi) referred to this Apostolic See, those dangers which especially arose in matters of faith, in order that injuries to faith might best be healed there, where tho faith could never fall. (St. Bernard ep. 120.) And the Roman Pontiffs, weighing the condition of times and circumstances, sometimes calling to gether general councils, or asking the judgment of the church scalteredthrough the world, some times consulting particular synods, sometimes using such other aids as Divine Providence sup- ilied, defined that those doctrines should be leld which, by the aid of God, they knew to be conformable to the holy soriptures and the apos tolio traditions. For the Holy Ghost is not promised to the successors of Peter that they may make known a new doctrine revealed by him, but that through his assistance they may sacredly guard and faithfully set forth the rev elation delivered by the apostles, that is, the deposit of faith. And this their apostolio teach ing all the venerable fathers have embraced, and the holy orthodox doctors have revered and followed, knowing most certainly that this See of St. Peter ever remains free from all error, according to the divine promise of our Lord and Saviour made to the Prince of the Apostles —“I haved prayed for thee that thy faith fail not, and thou, being converted, confirm thy brethren.” (Conf. St. Agatho. ep.adlmp: a cone, oecxim vi. approbaV. Therefore this gift of irath and of faith whioh fails not was divinely bestowed on Peter and his auccessuis iu this chair, that they shonld exer cise their high office for the salvation of all, that through themtheunivorsalflockof Christ should be turned away from tho poisonous food of error and should bo nourished with the food of hea venly doctrine, and that the occasion of schism being removed tbe entire Chnrch shonld bo preserved one, and, planted on her foundation, should stand firm against tho gates of hell. Nevertheless, sjneo in this present age, when the saving efficacy of the apostolic office is ex ceedingly needed, there are not a few who carp at its authority; we judge it altogether neces- sory to solemnly deolare the prerogative whioh the only begotton Son of God has deigned to nnito to the supreme pastoral office. Wherefore, faithfully adhering to the tradi tion handed down from the commencement of the Christian faith, for the glory of God our Saviour, the exaltation of the Catholic religion, and salvation of Christian peoples, with the ap probation of the sacred oouncil, we teach and define it to be a doctrine divinely revealed that the Roman Pontiff, when he speaks ex cathedra, that is, when in exercise ot ms offioe of pastor and teacher of all Christian peoples, and in vir tue of his supreme apostolical authority, he de fines that a doctrine of faith or moral, is to be held by the universal Church, possesses, through the divine assistance promised to him in the blessed Peter, that infallibility with which the divine Redeemer willed Hig Chnrch to be en dowed, in defining a doctrine of faith or morals, and, therefore, that such definitions of the Ro man Pontiff are irreformable of themselves, and not by force of the oonsent.of the Church there to. And if any one shall presume, which God for bid, to contradict this our definition, let him be anathema.

The following whioh we copy from the Char leston News, of Wednesday, conveys the very gratifying information that another foul- mouthed blaok-guard of the'‘developer” species baa received a portion of his deserts. More power .to your elbow, Dawson, the next time you thrash one of . the gang. That is the only argument they understand. The News says: Yesterday morning it became the unpleas ant duty of Mr. F. W. Dawson, one of the edi tors of the News, to administer a sound casti- [ gation to Mr. Myron Fox, one of the editors of a radical sheet published in this city. This was made necessary by the publication, on Monday evening, of a grossly insulting article reflecting upon the character and courage of Mr. Dawson. At about half-past 19 o’clock, Mr. Dawson, accompanied by a friend, entered tbe editorial rooms of the Radical paper. Mr. Fox, known to be one of its editors, was seated at a table near the window. Mr. Dawson went up to him and asked whether he was the editor of the pa per. Mr. Fox, extending his hand, replied that he was. Mr. Dawson, pointing out ihe offen sive article whioh he held in his hand, said: “This nrticle is grossly insulting to me, and I shall chastise you.” With this, he struck Mr. Fox in the face. Mr. Fox sprang to his feet, when Mr. Dawson struck him between tbe eyes, and, with a flexible cane, thrashed him over the head and shoulders. At this moment, W. J. Ballentine, an attache of the Radical sheet, seized Mr. Dawson from behind, but, after a struggle, was shaken off. The pair, Fox and Ballentine, then attacked Mr. Dawson vigorously, and were both of them badly hit. In the meanwhile, a crowd of twenty or thirty persons had gathered in the rooiq, and the en counter ceased. The police were sent for by Fox, and Mr. Dawson and his friend were ar rested. Mr. Dawson was unhurt. Fox bears npon his face some of the marks of the punish ment he received. Mr. Dawson and his friend were conducted to the guardhouse, where Fox made a charge of assault and battery. The ease was then turned over to Trial Justice John G. Mackey, and Mr. Dawson, waiving an examination, was bound over tokeep the peace for twelve months, and bailed to appear for trial on the first Mon day iii November. A Radical Congressman in a Tight Place. We find the following dispatch in the New York Tribune, of Monday: Washington, August 7.—A letter from Green ville, Tennessee, just received here, to be sub mitted to the Commissioner of Pensions, states that Representative R. R. Butler, of that Con gressional District, commenced his pension and bounty speculations in October, 1867; and among the serious charges against him is that he procured back pay and allowances to the among of $400, but gave only $40 to the widow in whose behalf it was obtained- Further, that he made a business of having bills passed by Congress, the recipients of the benefits paying him one-half of the sum, and that he obtained a pension for a man who had served as a Con federate soldier, never having been in the Union army. This man Butler was as good as convicted of selling cadetships, but by some evil fortune escaped Wbittemore’s fate. It is very natural he should try his hand at other species of ras cality, and we axe only surprised he has not been caught before. There is some talk of this sort against that eminent counterfeit detective, John A. Wimpey, Bullock’s pet Congressman from the 6th district; but, of course, it is slander. That distinguished scalawag is cer tainly sharp enough, now, to so cover his tracks as to defy detection. Or perhaps he is in the business for the purpose of catching some of these bounty swindlers just as he did tho New York counterfeiters. OBITUARY.
