Editor* Telegraph and Messenger: We may p,ase before a catastrophe—the coalition t d ad When Hoffman, Pendleton and Hend- r-ts shook henls with Trambnll, Schurz and leeley at Baltimore, it was a formidable con- ianetion. Bat the bankers, rail road kings, cinnfaotnrjis and merchant princes, met and Uve oot qneied it with money; literally by DilJions, treasure was poured out to carry the October elections, and behold the result—Grant i, re-elected by a popular majority of half a Billion. A month’s travel through the West and North atisfles me Horace Greeley was a weak candi- ?le—reversing my fomer opinions. His record too tong, too living, too fall of salient poiflis of antagonism. The sting of his attacks *intle9 in many Democratic Rhoderio Dhns, of whom refused, and others but feebly -Hied their olans. His high tariff tenets rnn -fljter to the life-time oonvictions of many of a* nestors of the Democratic party, and es- of the old Knickerbockers of the State— £ane«m and disoiples of Maroy and Silas Viigbt, and they could never forgive or forget. i; j ^ anti-war Democrats look on Greeley as gullin' of the w«r, and to bis trenchant pen tbtj charge that the sword was drawn and the hoMhonuds unleashed. So that the old iroc- lAtal lies o -raoy was failed to be rallied, and exit is welt known that Democrats enough ixted for Grant or kept away frffin the pUito have oarriid the October elections, and tiled Greeley Ah, well, but you will say dee are all “hindsights,”—true, and yet like KTcraed telescopes, they show wbat we thought iij ibings to be very small things.

His ma- j nty is ho large than he is independent of pol- uitians, and can be President in fact as well as it Mme, if he will.

I. A A The Cotton Crop for 1S"2 3. F un Now York Financial & Commercial Chronic’e. W-j have been engaged daring tbe last three reeks in obtaining from our correspondents ttronghont the South their opinion as to the total yield of tbe present cotton crop and their reasons for that opinion. In giving to our readers tbe results of these inqniries, it is. per haps, hardly necessary for us to say that our '(jures are simply estimates, and yet they are hiaed upon the personal examination and opin on of some of the most experienced cotton ten in the oountry. We have felt, however, ans'd rable hesitanoy in making the results ::blio, knowing they differ from the majority j! estimates at the prefeut time, and it is only fter carefully revising them, and again .corn icing the letters of our correspondents m dif ferent portions of tho Southern States that, we pblish them. We have prepared these figures fct as tbe highest, but aa a medium estimate of ihe crop which can be made up frum the returns *at n*. 1. To get at the trae basis of tbe present yield «u necessary for us to go back to the planting a won. Oar returns of the acreage under cotton * that .time, obtained after earefnl investiga te showed, as will be remembered—(See Ciromcta of June 8, 1872, page 763)—a total it 8 807 647 acres, against 7 811,696 acres in Wl, and 8,885,535 in 1870, or only about 20, '»acres less than in 1870; and hence, if tbe ***on had been every way favorable, the yield it year would have come within a trifle of the w»l tten secured. The full growth of 1870 was Ptobably 4 500,000 bales, or 150,000 bales more t»n was marketed. Bat this yesr has not been qnally favorable. In the first place the spring 'x noosnslly late, cold and wet, and this was t-llow*! by a drought before planting was com- fieted; but subsequent rains brought even the •i e planting forwardso well, that by the middle lone the premise of a good yiold was very olfactory. Still as there was a consider- t' 1 '* fa'ling off in fertilizers used and as the •fang was so wet and backward, we have put “* low to the orop up to that time, as com- P u *1 with 1870, at 160,000 bales Favo-able **d:tlona continued to surround the ootton PJ*»t up to very near the middle of July, when wj« excessive reins began, which ended in the 5*** overflow of the Oahaba, Alabama, Bigbee, ■»non, Coosa and Tallapoosa rivers, and their ii. wbic h, with the rost and shedding m followed, resulted in a fnrtber loss to the ”“P of not t j exceed, 200,000 bales.

Our correspondents have also given ns iu their letters tho percentage of incibaae and decrease of the yield this season compared with tbe two previous seasons, and we had intended to make a further statement on that basis. But as we find the result reached is the same, wo omit the calculations. But it ia to be confessed that there are oc casions when the' difference in the form is not so marked. You assert, we say, 'that ‘Hannah is hugging’—which, by the way, wonld be a very improper thing for Hannah to do; it would be positively scandalous, indeed. Preoisely a" similar idea is conveyed if you say, ‘Hannah is being hugged,’ because it is a peiuliarity of the act that it is hardly ever one-sided; there is no selfishness- about it. And it is the same with kissing. ‘Jane iB kissing’—and her mother ought to kaow about it if she is—ia just ex actly as if we say, ‘Jane is being kissed;' and tbe sensation is tbe same, although nene of the grammars, by a singular inadvertence mention the fact. It will not be neoessary, however, for onr correspondent to attempt to prove these last-mentioned faots by practice. He mnst take our word for them. Unless he does so, we shall answer no more questions is syntax for him, or aDy one else., .Oar daty is to conserve the morals of the community,. not to start the people to playing private games of Oopeahsgen.” . T . . <~ \ Enmity of tbe Administration To ward liiberal Senators- I Special to tlie Cincinnati Commercial J a Wasuisgtjn, November 6.—A member of the Cabinet was asked to-dry what the course of the President would be toward Greeley, Fen ton, Trumbull, Scburz, Sumnc-r and tbe other Republicans who had opposed his election. The officer replied that tho President would treat, them with a sev-.re letting alone; that the proper course of the President‘and his’C-ibinet would be a marked indifference and disregard for them; that they bad left the party and the fault was their own, and that the President would keep aloDg in his old paths and not be influenced by anything that had taken place in f the canvass. The enmity of th« Administration toward Sohurz a-.d Trumbull is the mod marked, and it is safe 10 say that every effort, of the White House ring will be pnt forward' to re move Trambnll from the Chairmanship of the Judiciary Committee in the benat*. The At torney General is warmly in favor of Senat r Trumbull's removal, and it is thought that bis displacement will be among the first de mands that the President will make of the Sen - ate.. Senator Schnrz will also be removed from his place on the ForeigD Relations Committee, because the Administration fears his opposition to some of its pef measures, snob as the annex ation of Santo Domingo, wVoh is to be sgain attempted. Fenb-n. £ s' chairman of the Com mittee on Contingent expenses, will probably not be disturbed, as the oommittee is only of nominal importance. A revision of the Senate Committees must, according to the rules, be made at ’he beginning of every session. While the administra’ion would like to have Banks removed from the ehairman.-hip of the House Foreign Committee, they do not see just bow it can be done, as tbe Speaker appoints the committees for the wh lie Congress, and not for a single session, and Speaker Blaine has no right to remove a committeeman aft.-r his ap pointment, except by the direction of the House. The President, according to report, is more anxious to know what Mr. Greeley is going to do, what the Tribune is going to do, and what Whitelaw Bsid is going to do, thaa anything else. He is cert linly not indifferent to- them. Spies in the C’amp—flow Grant knew lie was Going to be Elected. A Washington specie’ of Friday repoits as follows concerning bis views on his re-eleotion: His first election he considers as an honor paid for his military services, his seeond, the nation’s approval of bis political administration and the popular vindication of his personal character. Long before the Philadelphia Con vention he foresaw his success. Tha nomina tion by th-i coalitionists gratified him, inasmuch as it narrowed the oonteet 10 two candidates. Besides, the character of the opposition gave complete assurance of the result. He.was sur prised at the affright rece ved by some Repub licans at tbe Baltimore nomination, and he was thereafter urged by political giants to make various changes in bis Cabinet. Many of bis friends had wonder ad at his indifforedbe; bat one helping cause of that indifference, which was known to but few, was his knowledge of the fact that during tbe campaign the Republican National Committee had a picket in every Greeley camp of any consequence from one end of the country to the other, and knew day by day every phase of the situation as well as the condition- . .. Grammar as Toil nee led with Hissing and flagging. The Hudson Register deals hnmoronsly with a question of grammar as follows; “A searcher after truth writes to us, ‘Which is grammatically correct, to say "The house is building, or ‘The house is "biting built;’ ‘Tbe street is paving,’ or ‘The street is being paved ?’ There is a wide diverssty of opinion upon this subject, bnt we incline to favor ‘is being built,' for the following reason: Suppose you wish to express another kind of an idea, would you say, for instance, ‘Johnny is spanking,! or ‘Johnny is being spanked ?* Tho difference to you may seen immaterial, but It is a matter of considerable importance to Johnny; and it is probable that if any choice were given him, he would snddenly select the former alternative. You say, again, that tha ‘missionary is eating. Certainly this expresses a very different and mnoh pleasanter idea than tho form: The mis sionary iB being eaten,’ and tho sensation is very different forthe missionary, too. We have con sulted several missionaries about it, and they all seem to think that the two things are somehow not the same, ho matter what the grammarians say: The United States Commissioner of fish and fisheries, Prof.:,B*tid<haa .recently had a con sultation with the cqmmiefloaera of Massachu setts and New Hampshire upon" tho anbjeot.of introducing salmon eggs into tbe different stream^ tbe .Uuited Siatos,.in which it was decided that the salmon egg of the Sacramento river.sbonid he placed in Southern,,waters,'as the water of that liver ia wapn, and the South more adapted,to Its character of fish. It .is known the salmon of the Sacramento river in fl-tvor and texture is tbe,most superior fish of the species It-s average weight is is about fif teen pounds, and its color the same as the gold of the mine?. It may be called the staple dinner dish in California, and snob is its popularity that it snpersedyeithe general use of meats. Its intro duction into the waters of, Maryland, Yirglniq, and North Carolina would complete'the delicate varieties they now have. , \ _ jgi One thousand dollars fine or imprisonment for one year is the penalty for betting on elec tions in Dlinols, .

LIFE IN SOUTH CAROLINA. Quakers FttretaaslBir a Plantation near Mean fort—What Became of tbe Cotton and Potato Crops—A Quaker El Klnx. Correspondence of Tbe Son.] Washington, October 18.—The following story, which was told to me by Mr. Joseph Stewart, a lawyer of this oity and a perfectly trustworthy gentleman, illustrates very aptly the condition of the white people in South Caro lina. Two Pennsylvania Quakers, or rather, two sons of a Quaker, who had served in the Union army in South Carolina, at the doee of the war obtained $12,000 each and purchased a plantation in Somh Carolina, near Beaufort They intended to plant ootton, and stockedtheir plantation for th»t purpose. As they were original abolitionists, born and brought np in the faith, they of course expected great things from the freedmen, and gathered about them many of these poor unfortunates. The first season they had every proepect of e fine crop of eotion, and were felicitating themselves oh the good fortune in store for them. When their ootton was ready to be pioked, they were sur prised at the small quantity brought to tbeir gin. The freedmen stole and wasted at least one-half of it, and, to cap tbe olimax, when the orop bad been, nearly , all gathered, the negroes set fire to the gin end burned up tbe remainder. The next season .the brothers planted sweet potatoes, calculating to anticipate the North ern market by early shipments, before the Vir- gininia potatoes were ready to ship. They ac cordingly pnt down their whole plantation in potatoes, and as the season was favorable they bad every promise of retrieving tbe disasters of the previous year. About the time tbeir crop was ready to harvest tbey noticed something wrong with the vines, and they kept a watob in the fields daring the night. Some of their most trusted workmen were detailed for that pur pose, but still tbe depredations continued. The negroes protested that they oould never see anybody in the fields at night, and seemed to tally at a loss to aoconnt for the disappearance of tbe potatoes. ■, . - 0 > - Finally the brothers determined one night to go on guard themselves, without letting their negroes know their intention. Providing them- selves with arms they took their positions so as to observe all parts of the field without them selves being observed.* They had not long .(o wait. Soon objeota were discovered moving about in the field in close proximity to where, the trusted negroes ought to be keeping watch. One of the planters, getting within gunshot of ihe thieves, fired and wonnded one so seriously that he could not run awBy with his companions, who, surprised Bt-thiB unexpected entertain ment, made for the swamps. When the plant ers scanned the features of'the wounded man they found T hitn to be One of the negroes they had been relying on to protect their property. This opened their eyes, and tbe next day npon making an examination tbey discovered that the negroes had by carefully lifting up the vines and scraping away the dirt from the side of the hills, staoceeded'in 'removing nearly the whole crop of potatoes. ' Indeed there was not enough left to pay expenses. This was not all. Tbe:r cup of misery was not yet fulL The brother who had fired at and wounded the thieving ne gro was arrested as a Kuklur, thrown into pris on, and it was with much difficulty that he was saved from oonviction. Tbe negroes, .even those they b> d rf iven employment to for nearly two years, swore, to the most ontrageons lies against them. Even after the Quaker was re leased, he and bis brother fonnd the negroes so incensed against them, and so determined to do them serious injury, that they packed up a few of th*ir personal' effects and started North, abandoning their plantation to the negroes. This story is g : ven jnRt as" I hear it. I have no doubt that it is true mevery particular. More than this, I believe it is not an isolated oase either. It is the same story that yon hear from almost every man wh j comes from poor, op pressed, negro-rnled. South Carolina. The ne groes are the absoln‘e masters of the soil The triumph of the Moses'party—the elec tion of another negro Legislature—will in‘en- sify the vioionsness of the negroes, and the white people who have remained in the hope of some amelioration of the evils under which they have groaned for so long, will now be at tbe mercy of th ■ black and white vampires. Sappho. THE GEORGIA PRESS. There are at present in port at Savannah one ship, ten barks, sixteen brigs andten schooners— all Spanish. The majority of these vessels have heretofore been engaged in the sugar tri.de be tween Havana and Spain, bnt owing to the fall ing off in that business they have oome to Sa vannah for ootton freights. The Radical paper at Savannah is hankering strongly after something to respectabilize its oolumn, and offers several squares spaoe gratu itously to any first-class firm that will insert an advertisement for three months. No takers as far as heard from. Mr. Valentine Great, an old and mnoh es teemed citiziu of Liberty county, died on Sun day morning. Mr. Morgan Saxton, of Cola tubus,, bad unt^pato. The outrage is evidently caused by a faoe very badly burned and Marly lost'his eye,TEx*««al animosity, aggravated by . that evil who slept on the floor in tbe office, bad already opened, to effect bis own escape. Mr. B. ran from the house some distance, and lay out in the woods until day, when he called for some of the neighbors to go With him to ihe store, where they found Armor dead, hiS~ throat out from ear to ear, and his head orushed and mangled. A ooFcner’g jnrywas summoned; and a verdict rendered, that tbe deceased came to death by the hand of some unknown parties. Great excitement and indignation is felt in Glaesoockand Washington. Mr. B., from whom we obtain the-foregoing particulars, earns to Atlanta this morning to procure from the State or.United States authorities the Ihunediate'ar. rest of the murderers. He states that be knows who two of the disguised men were, and has proof to conviot them. We are' Satisfied of the truthfulness of Mr. B.’s statements. Tbe mur der cann >t be attributed to any political causes, unless tbe murderers were Radieals, for both Mr. Armor and Mr. B. were known to be Demo. Importance of SnbsolIIng. It is a significant fact, eminently worthy the attention of all farmers, that all ootton growers in this county who prepared,iheir grounds pre vious to planting fheir ootton, by 'deep plowing and sufcaoiling, are by no moans so. seriously affeoted by,the.continued drouth as those who did not thus prepare. Those who used the subsoil pi iwa are no wenjoyingapractical demon-tration of ihoir usefulness and utility to farmers ; whilst those who failed to take the precaution in the preparation of their grounds have seen .their prospects' for good orops nipped in tjie bud from the effects of dry weather. ; . We ooriversed witji several gentlemen in this bounty who nsed the 8nbsoii plows in the preparation-of their ootton grounds, and all of them, without any excep tion, expressed themselves, very well pleased with the result They say the stalks ^in tbeir fields had a thrifty appearance, were well laden with maturing bolls, looked green and flourish ing, and had only, shedded the amount 6t, squares common to all orops In. a state of good cu tivution ini ordinary season^'; while the cot ton in the field? of some of t^ieirneighbors who; did not use the subsoil plows had tbe 'appear-: snee of leafless stalks. i ' If the proper'use of the subsoil plow prodaoes this great ooritrast in the planter’s favor, ye wonder why’ it is that every one has hot supplied his farm with these implements.before this time.! Let_.aU learn an important lesson frpm.thisyehr’s experience—j Franklin Journal, An Embabba8sing Srrtriji’N—Max Adeler says: That little affair of Needhan^Vthat some of the papers have been telling about was oer- tainly unpleasantly—at least', to Npedbfim., Needham owned a deep-mouthed watch dog which always bayed him weloome home, and snatched mouthfuls of chops out of the legs of s/rangers. Needham took that faithful animal along with him one day to guard, hia clothes while he went in swimming. Needham bathed for an hour, and meanwhile the dog went to Bleep on Needham’s garments. When Needham came out tfjedog did not. recognize him in his. nude oondition, and refused to let him pome near his garments, Every time that Needham would grab for a sQSPender oy, a sock the dog would bite a mouthful of,hisarm-or leg, and whenever Need, ham would make a dive for , a boot or under shirt that animal would seize him by tbe calf and shake him. So Needham .stood there In on Saturday, by the premature explosion of a charge of powder in his gun. The Columbus Sun relates the rise and fall of a “colored benevolent store” in that oity as fol lows: A Colobed Benevolent Stobe—How the DASKEW Webe. Cheated.—Not many months ago there existed what was callel “The Freed man’s Benevo'ent Store.” It was an. affair ar ranged for the benefit of the colored people by Radioal whites, bnt was governed entirely by a few blacks. It was eondao’ed on the .oo-op- erative plan. .The darkies deposited so mnoh money and received provisions at cost, on oredit, to the amount, of .tha. deposit,, minus a heavy percentage^ The manager was one Abe Smith, colored, who,.several years, ago,..bjt bayonets and fast Radical counting, was elected Repre sentative in tbe Legislature from this . county. The idea took largely with tho colored popula tion. The Etore appeared to doaiarge business. Investments of. several.ihnuiand.dollars were mr de Not long since the concern was “busted," declared bankrupt and.becamadefnnct. We have the stock. The sheets in ilba’s check book were torn ont and it i.s suspected that Abe took out a considerable balance from the banks for his own use. : The dirkey. stockholders were cleaned up. One man is now in' tha hospital who pnt $900.in specie in the oonpern. Parson Rucker, now dead, of theBaptist cqlorodohnroh, invested $500, and others, in like amounts.— The sum total lost by tbe colored people is es timated between three and four thousand dol lars. " They received few provisions and those at a terrible Cost. Abe Smith has vamoosed to Atlanta, where it is alleged he is rnnhing a grocery store of some dimensions on his own aooount. He caught the prevalent fever and did his race in Columbus effectually. We get the above from stockholders, and presume tbe story is corre'oti ' We know one white Republi can who lost several hundred dollars by endora -_ ing for Abe. Another batoh of em’grants numbering about one hundred, left Atlanta Monday - night for. Texas. , . I Mr. J. Henly Smith has sold his interest in the Atlanta Sun to Hon. A H. Stephens, who Is now sole proprietor and political editor. Mr. Samuel A Echols succeeds Mr. Smith as man aging editor. '' : _ The house and furniture of Mr. John Beard, near Conyers, were burned last Thursdiy. A Mr. Veal’s house in the same neighborhood was also burned the same day. The Conyers Examiner prints this: Mr. Dimmock who resides a short dibtanoe from Conyers, has succeeded, for the pant seven years, in preventibg rust in wheat. He 'sows his whe't in the usual way, and adds (broad cast) 100 pounds of salt per acre,. whioh is plowed in with the wheat. Th9 experiment, be says, (and his neighbors corroborate his testi mony,) has proven an entire success for seven years. It is worth a trial. t • The gin house of Mr. Gre- n Harper, of Butts county, was burned last Saturday night while he was ginning, together with six bales of opt- ton. One of Mr. H.’b obildr. n, two of his sis ter’s, Mrs. Gardner’s, and two negro children, were playing in the lint room and were bnroed to death. Mr. Harper was also severely, burned, and another one of bis children so seriously that his recovery is doubtful. We quote these items from the Monroe Ad vertiser of yesterday: : Bebious Afpaib.—We regret to learn that a fight occurred between D. F. Walker, Esq , and Oapt. Aaron Talmadge—both old gentlemen Bnd neighbors—on Saturday last, which resulted in the latter receiving severe injuries. The quar rel was a sudden one, and originated about dep redations oommitted by Mr. Talmadge’s cows upon Mr. Walker’s premises. The parties met at a partition fence, and after words the fray ooourred.

Shavings from the how Country: Oorreepondecce Telegraph and Messenger ] 7 Quitman, November 12, 1872. I For reasons beet known to the writer, your correspondent has remained qniet during the “heated term” of political strife, but as that faroe is ended, I clip off a few “shavings' 1 in reference to other matters. 1 The weather has been exceedingly warm, and the drouth protracted. The “t^xok patohes” have failed, and many a wail has gone np over the loss of the stated supply of “turnip greens,” but the farmers have had the most favorable seasons known in many years for gathering their crops. The crops of oorn and ootton are nearly all housed at this early period of the sea son, while the potatoes and sugar ca-e are now being oared for. The poteto crop ia not good, but almost up to an average, in many por tions pf this county. The oane crop . is abac-, dant, and is yielding admirably. New'syrup'is coming into market; but the demand is tight. The market opened at forty oents per gallon by the barrel The new method introduced by the merchants for the purchase of syrup, that is by weight instead of measure, will have a tendenoy to correct an evil that was oreepirg in among mapnfaotnrers of this article. I saw one bar rel sold laet week, which ought to have held forty gallons of. good ay tup, but it was so thin that it lacked one third of this amount, by weight. Tho thicker and better cooked the more gallons th e y con get info a barrel.,.'This ja'all very well for the dealer, now if some way'contd be provided by which the consumer could be protected, then all things would be harmonious on the syrup question. ^ ', •> There have beenvarioiis estimates of the cot ton erop of this section, and a few weeks ago everybody thought from the large receipts that the present . would la-gely exceed, the ,orop of last year, but upon oloser calculations it.is now thought..that it will hardly equal it /There has been shipped from this ddpo’, up to last Satur day night, 3 500 bales, but a little'excess over the shipments of. last y ear .np to this date, while the market opene d ten days or two'weeks earlier this year than last. Another reason for pushing the'erop into our market has been .the.price paid for oott n. by onr buyers. They have been paying all season up to with’n a half cent of the Savannah market. This fact has drawn a good deal of cotton to this plaoe that would have found a market elsewhere, and has eon- tributed no little in swelling the reoeip's at this point It is the opinion of dealers tba* ootton will reach' 35 cents before any more te planted. Be this as it may, the planters will receive no benefit, as tbe crop is nearly all out of their hands. The Quitman Cotton Faotory is at last at work.

For two. or three days subse quently he was observed banging around the vicinity, occasionally catching a glimpse of her $ and, strange , to say, the young i*dy haaopn-t ceived an equally violent passion for him. On Saturday last she went out riding with him in tlie elegant barouche belonging tS the paterhal mansion, and wben those having oharge of her strictly forbade any farther exhibitions of snob bad taste on her part, she frankly declared her intention of. wedding the Comanche.—- On the other aide, the yonng Indian, has been freely supplied: with money, and declares that he 'will not return to the happy hunting grounds Of tbe -West unless the objeotof bis devotion shall go with him. . Of course such a deplorable state of affairs has necessitated some aotion bn the part of the authorities. The commissioner of Indian aff tire has there fore been notified that the susceptible Comanche mnst be made to leave the oity forthwith, -and a thousand dollar draft has been tendered him by a brother of tbe misguided girl, as a boons for his departure.

' ■ Foreign Items. PREPARED FOR THE TELEGRAPH AND MESSENGER. The Prussian Government has created a num ber of new peers for the purpose of forcing the Country Reform Bill through the House; A pamphlet entitled, “Away with the Honse of Perns,” by Kail B ind, is freely circulating, and its sale has in no way been interfered with by the aothoritiM. According to the Proviczial Oorrespondenz, the Government, while main taining the bill in its essential points, will ask the Commons to oonsent to partial modifies^ tiofas. The same paper sharply oritioisea the memorial issued by the German bishops’Whb me't in Fulda at the tomb of St. B inifaoe to de liberate on the situation of the Oatholio Church in the German Empire. “This exposition of clerioal ideas and pretensions,” the semi offioial organ says, “such as we find it in the 6piaoopal manifesto, is unprecedentedly reokleaa, abso lute and sharp in tie tone towards the Govt ra- meat. Every contravention of the oivil Jaw hitherto committed by any bishop, every doubt ful clerical pretension that has been ad vanced fe *here justified -; by: the . whole body ;of bishops -and claimed ,as. an indefeasible,righ^of. the Catholic church; whije. all the measures of. the government during the past year, and every step taken by tbe adminis tration ’ahd tBe leglalaturfe, are denounced as illegal, and resistance to them is deolarod to be justifiable.” After having dwelt on the course of the bishops ;n regard to the . Ecumenical Council, the paper, in oonolhsion, reaffirms that this oonfiict has r been began By Rome, Where all the warnings of the German prelates fonnd a deaf ear when the “old andjrne constitution of the church was’altered/through the influence of a party to enhance the power of the Holy Bee beyond measure.” • ' - .-. • Among, other carious contributions to the Vienna Exhibition of 1873! the Ottoman Govern ment is preparing an expensive work on Tarkish Architecture, with numerous plates, and with text in Tarkisih, German and French.
