According to ancient cuBtom his Holiness ban, therefore, ordered me, Prefect of the Con gregat'.on charged to interpret the Ho'ly C un e 11 of Trent, to write to the Prelates of the CattioJlc world, to announce to them this glad new, and to acquaint them that the bishops, who not being detained by the fear of causing fcrave prejudice to the flocks cou tided to their enre, should repair at the proper time to this noble city, in orter to be present at the Cols'is tories above mentioned.

Dxen of the Empress of the French. The Em press continues to wear brocaded dresses, and consequently to patronize Lyons manufactures to the utmost of her power. The Princess Met ternich follows the imperial example In this respect. A tew days ago the latter lady wore at dinner a white Pompadour dress, with bouquets cf variegated roses, and small blue leaves bro caded on it. The skirt opened at the front breadth, and displayed a etnped blue and white satin petticoat. The trimmings consisted of white face and rucbings ot ribbon; and the small nquare Louis XV bodice was decorated with ricbons studded with tiny bouquets ot roses. The headdress consisted of a we and some genuine Louis XV jewels. The Duchess d'Elcbingen wore, at the same dinner, a tur quoise bfue silk dress, ornamented with cross cut bands of blue satin, which were arranged as a ladder at the side of the skirt, and were covered with a most biiUlant gimp, made of white satin bugles. The lowest cross-band was fastened to a flounce ofpoint d'Angleterre, sewn on without fullness. The bodice was trimmed with similarli.ee, and had a blue satin bow with bars of white bugles on the left shoulder. The young Duchess wore for a headdress a wreath of Olive leaves in Diue veivta, me iroiH ueiug re- J (resented with pearls. The Empress wore the oIlowiDg evening a brocaded mauve and white dress, the skirt of which was trimmed above the hem with a crosf-cut band of mauve satin, edgi'd with white fringe. Ttie Empress has perfect taste in all matters relating to ber toilet, and very rarely wears a dres exactly as it is snt home. Her maid has frequently to unpick all the trimmings, and to rearrange them under the direction of her Imperial mis tress, who certainly does not underrate the importance of we l got up trimmings. Paris s,ofrenpondeit of the Queeit. The Shakers. A correspondentoftheLewiston (Me.) Journal recently paid a visit to the Shaker settlement at New Gloucester, in Maine. He describes It as composed of two "families," the i" Upper" and the "Lower" and they have fifteen hundred acres of land, reasonably divided for farming purposes. Their gardens are models of neatness, like everything else about them. A large dwelling-house, divided through the centre by wide halls, is erected for each tamily, the males occupying one end and the females the other. They have one excellent notion that idleness is a sin. In their extensive gardens they raise nearly all kinds of seeds used in thts latitude flowers, herbs, fruits, extracts, and condi ments. Tuis society manufactures a great deal of catsup, aud their apple-sauce is one of their most famous productions. They also have a grist and saw-mill, and manufacture many useful articles, including brooms and mowing machines. The latter are a Shaker in vention, and are very popular among the farmers in this State. Their land is always in excellent condition, and neatness is the rule everywhere. They have several storehouses aud outbuildings and good stable, and aschool-hcuse lor the children they adopt. This is one of eighteen settlements of this singular people in the United States. Their total membership is ntuted ut live thousand. Queer Beoufit The late Mr. R. Garrett, a rich agricultural Implement maker in England, bequeathed in bis last will to three hundred of his employes a great-coat eocb. 'J he distribu tion of the toute iiu been made, Tli Thru Flaaa for IleorRtnlilng trie South. the Jfadtm. little doubt roit,:ns that Mr. Johnson, powerless though be be to help his friends, is powerful enough so to minlc td thembyhlsunwiso cennte Is as to induce the Southern toi-ditatii "Mates" to reject the Constitutional Amend ment. Nor doee there ecem to be much rcaon to doubt that the Urge majority of Congress is fully dlermined to adopt some plan for the reorganization ot the Southern State Govern ments as soon as the rejection ot the Amend ment is definitely settled. The most conserva the Republicans agre that the North cao neither atl'ord to receive the Southern 8tate i;hont their submieHon to the Amendment, nor yet to allow ihem to rerr,din out of the Union in their present ha anarchical condi tion. In oroc way the P jth must be provided with leclthnate governments, nd that speedily. Three di ilererj plant, have been suggested in vanouj quavers. The first, which may be culled Mc, Stevens' original plan, is the reduc tion o(, the South to the condition of territories, ti oe toverned as Mich by the direct exercise of the l iderul power. The second plan, newly broached, is tor Congress to frame new consti tutions for these States, and to reorganize their govt rnmrnts upon this ba ds, without consult-lni'.-thc people at all. The third plan Is for Congress simply to piovide tor the prompt elec tion of a convention in every disorganized Plate, and for the government of the States meantime, as a purely provisional measure. One objection to both of the rirst two plans Is the moral certainty that if the question came before the courts, and especially before the Supreme Court ol the United States, they would bold the action of Congress in accordance with tither of these projects to be unconstitutional. Mr. Phillips recognizes this fact, as far as the Supreme Court is concerned, and therefore wages war upon it. But in what court does he expect to fare better ? We know of no tribunal before which the question would be likely to arise in which the power of Congress would be recc&nized as extending to such a length. Air. Phillips would, no doubt, be willing to override all the courts and all legal principles which stand in the way of immediate practical justice: but here we differ essentially from him, and rejoice to believe that the mass of the American people will reject his advice. Whether the deci sion of a court notoriously corrupt or partial should be accepted a final or not, may admit of a doubt; but the decision of the great ma jority of the courts, when the integrity, learn ing, and impartiality of the judges ate all con eeued, must and will be submitted to by any sensible community, however unpalatable it may be. There is a legal way to almost every desirable end; and although it may be longer and more tedious than the short roads which are proposed by those who despise precedents, it does Lot open the wav to usurpation and violence, as all even well-meant violations of the law do. The lcgHl objections to the territorial pi in are that it assumes the right of Congress to govern forever, if it chooses, and in Uie most absolute manner, provinces which have ben !tates; that it a-sumea that these States have permanently lost all right to the protection ol the Federal Constitution, or to a republican form of government; and tnat it raises the ques tion io the plainest manner lor the decision of the courts, since upon a collision of authority it could not be said that there were two conflict ing State Governments, of which Congress had recognized one, and which recognition the courts would be bound to follow. The creation of State constitutions by the direct action of the national Government would not present quite so clear a case for judicial m teiierence; yet it is so plainly opposed to all precedent, notwithstanding the opportunity has been frequently open to Congress to make such precedents on the admission ot new States, that we think it probable that the Supreme Court would deem the question a judicial one, and cei tain that, if it entertained the question at all, it would deny the power ol Congress to adopt such a couroe. It is said, both by partisans of Mr. Johnson's policy and by those who favor the harsher methods of proceeding, that the Supreme Court would decide against the validity of Congres sional action through the medium of State con ventions as certainly as it would against the validity of any other method. But this Is far from being the case. The Court is bound by Its own repeated decisions to the doctrine that, in determining between conflicting claimants to the government of a S'ate, it must follow the decision ot Congress. This may bind the Court Io recognize a Government appearing upon the records of Congress to have been forced by it upon a State, without the consent of any part of its people; but it does clearly preclude the Court, where the only rival Governments appear to have been created by conventions, both elected by only a portion of the people, and both summoned by Federal authority, from giving a preference to a convention summoned by the President, without law, over one sum moned by Congress through the regular form of law. Neither can there be the least doubt that the Court will interpret the clause of the Fede ral Constitution guaranteeing to every State a republican form of government, as imposing that duty upon Congress, and not on the Presi dent independently of Congress. And this, we are confident, covers the whole case, and secures, the sanction of all the Courts to any action of Congress which looks, in good faith, to the im mediate reorganization of the Southern States as Slates, and through the voluntary action of their own people. For although there are many different theo ries as to the continued existence, suspension, or total dettmction of the Rebel States and their governments, on one central fact all are agreed. Thus we hold that the State goveroments of the South were destroyed by the action of their conventions, in 1860-61, in abolishing their loyal governments, which we maintain they could do, and substituting governments avowedly In dependent of the United States, which we. hold to have been nullities. Many able men hold that the conventions accomplished nothing, but that the act of war with the Federal Govern ment obliterated the Htates engaged in it. Others hold that the States existed intact until actually conquered by the United States. Others hold that the Rebel governments were perfectly valid through aud after tho war, aud that Presidents Lincoln aud Johnson were guilty of gross usurpation iu ieuoriug those governments. But there is entire unauimity unou the facts that all these governments were obliterated in 1866; that ever since not a stucle officer has pretended to act under them; ami thut for several months all public business m these States was carried on by men appointed, directly or indirectly, by Andrew Johnson, without any regard to the forms of republicuu government. - Now these admitted facts show, to our mind, an indisputable ground for Congressional inter ference to secure to each of these States a repub lican government. And it being once conceded that Congress has a right to interfere, there cau be no doubt that the Supreme Court will not look further into its action than to ascertain, at the most, that the people were really lei t to Irame a government, aud that the government which thpy were required by Coneress to frame was one which could, by any definition, be called republican in form. The other considerations which affect these questions are also, as we think, decisive in favor of a reorganization by means of State Cou .ventions. The territorial sj stem would Involve an intolerable accumulation of power in the executive department at Washington. ' It could never be carried out until Mr. Johnson had been removed fromollice.sincetheappoiutments by him must be made bv him or his o Ulcers. It would grievously retard the progiess of the South In material prosperity, and alienate it more than ever from the Union. It would be a precedent full of danger, elnce upon the smallest insurrection it would Justify Congress In re ducing an obnoxious State to a territorial con dition. The proposition that Congress should frame and impose Constitutions upon the States is too completely unrepubltian to bo worth dis cussing, unt il at least some effort has been made to becure the adoption f republican Constitu tions by the people thetnsclve. The summon ing of (state Conventions, to be elected bf the universal suffrage of loyal citizens, though not without Its difficulties and dangers, e-pocinlly with such Preident we have tnt now, is the most truly democratic meihod of retjring order to these disorganised communitie, ami promises, upon the whol, the most benehcal remits; while it has the immense adv',n 0f being perfectly constitutional, and (u avoiding the possibility of conflict bet wten the Legisla ture find the courl.
