Papal Iaiolemuce.
From the Tribune.
Tho closing of all the rrotetunt places of
worship In the city of Rome, by order of the
Tapal Government, has lately elicited some
comment. The fullest account of it which we
have jet met with is ptiven in a letter from the
Rev. Dr. Prime, the well-known editor of tho
Observer of this city.
Tbe Roman law strictly prohibits Protestant
worship in the city of Rome. Tho onlr excep
tion to this restriction is that the Ambnsa'lors
of forcicn Governments may have divine ser
vice celebrated in their own houses. Under
thiH protection, tho Hu'sian, the Prussian, tho
American, and other representatives of loreitrn
;ovi innientshrtvo had, tor many yearn, chapels
in their own houses.
The British Govenment has no diplomatic re
lations with Rome, but the Briti.-h Protestants
have lor iorty years pttt been tolerated in hold
ing worshio in a bawot't, fini.-h -d otl' as a chapel,
iusi outsid" the walls, by the Porto del Copolo.
The practice, however, has been more tolerant
than the law, and the Romnn. authorities have
winked at or overlooked other roliixious assem
blies of foicitrn residents. Thus there have
been lor six years two stations of Scotch Pres
byterians, which have never been interfered
w'ith until, on December 29, the chaplains were
served with the following most remarkable
wtrninp from the lirlfsh Consulate:
"IluiTisn Con.sulatk at Kome, December 21,
l.-Sir: It is my oltMnl duty to inform you
tlnu Monidnnoro Kmiili, Governor of Home,
lias Just coiiiinunleiiU'd to mo that you are hold
ing illegal religious meetings in your house,
which, you must Know, are iiniinniicii uy 1110
Kouiiui law, und that you have thus placed
yourself in the ivcr of the Inquisition, both
loram-Ht and imprisonment.
"Hulas the MotiKinnoro permits mo to Rive
you lliis notice, X would seriously advise that,
you at once put an end to these innovation,
and that you visit Monsinnore Kandi at Moulo
Cilorlo, and you assure turn that you will never
a'nin repeat lliesx Illeu:il acts. I hope in this
way you may possibly suspend your exile,
which is now luw.uiug over you. I urn, sir, your
obedient servant,
"J os k pn Ki;vf:hn, Dritish Consul.
"To the Hev. James Lewis,"
We are not surprised to learn that some coun
trymen of the author of this remarkable doou
ment suspected hun ol approviu? the purpose of
tbe tioverument. All tli representations made
to the Papal authorities were fruitless,, and on
January 4 the Presbyterian stations wercloed.
Mr. (Mo Kus'ell in vam appealed to Cardinal
Antonelli. His relercuee to the liberty trained
to the Americans to nave a place of worship
drew forth the remark that "the Uoveruiueut
would attend to that also.''
Our despatches by the latest steamers are
seveial dajs later than the letter of Dr. Prime,
and they inform us that the Americans have
Tcally been attended to also. All the meetings
lor Protestant worship wilhiu the walls of the
city ot Rome, except thoe in the private houses
of tho foreign Ambassadors, are strictly fordid
den. To the ureent representations ol the foreign
Ambassadors, the Roman (lovernmeut has only,
at length, bo lar vie'ded as to allow the Pro-
testints to meet outside of the walls oi the city.
Thus the case remains for the present, and in
this state it may remain, until the Roman people,
aided by the sympathy ot Italy and of "ail
civilized nations, shall torever put an end to the
Roman Inquisition and to the prohibition of
Protestant worship in Rome.
The Probabilities and Prospects of the
Iniivaclt meut Moviutut,
oin the Herald.
North and South the public journals of all
parties have entered into the discussion ot tbe
probabilities and prospects of tho movement
initiated in Congress looking to the impeach
ment and removal of President Johnson. In
some quarters it is ured as a cood and neces
sary thing; In some it is considered a mere
jjame of blull; hera it Is thought to be very un
certain as to the issue, and there it is set down
as fizzling out. Some weak-kneed alarmists
denounce it as nothing better than a Pandora's
box, full of all sorts of evils and disasters, in
cluding a financial convulsion and another civil
war ; and others think Mr. Johnson will not be
pushed to the wall. But all these speculation
are mere gue:-s-work, lroni the simple laet that
the Juuiciary Committee ot the House, charged
with the preliminary inquiry into this business,
are properly pursuing their labors with closed
doors. We presume that tbis committee will
not be prepared to report till near the end of
this session, some four weeks h-nee; but when
they do report we expect an indictment of im
peachment, and that the Uouse will adopt it,
and demand of the Senate a trial o! Andrew
Johnson tor "high crimes and misdemeanors,"
. requiring his removal from olllce.
This iiiiDeachuient must be made to the Sen ale
boiore the 4th of March or before tbe bu.tl ad
journment ot the preseut Congress on that day;
lor otherwise the whole business with the n"'w
Congress will have to bo commenced airain at
the bcEnnnina. The present House absolutely
expnes ontue 4th ot March; bat tbe Senate
(one-third of its members only being elected
with every new Congress) is a continuous body.
This House, then, betoie the 4tn ot March must
act upon the subject or its labors will fall to the
ground; but the present Sena-e, naviug received
ihe indictment irom this llou- may pa.-s it
over to the hennte of the new Congress, This,
we conclude, will be the plan . operations.
Next, in regard to the char-res at-'aitra Audrew
Johnfcou, tbe prlncjp -d, ftU(i a very serious one,
will doubtless be the charge of a usu.-patiou on
his part of some of those high powers which
belong exclusively to ('onerous. Another charce
will very likely be that ot intHelity to his oath
of office, iu failing to see the la wi of Congress
laiihfully executed.
Th specincations upon the eh arte of u-urpa-Hon
may be applied to his policy or i (.construe
tion, without authority in law, and in defiance
of the will of Congress, in each of the ten ex
cluded States. Upon this charge tho testimony
of his Provisional iOvernor, etc.. before the
high court ot the Senate will be conclusive.
The Secretary of State, in this connection, it
npcessary, would also no doubt be impeached;
but as he will be disposed of with the lall ot his
muster, it will suffice to use him in the Senate
hs State's evidence touching the promulgation.
under the President's authority, of certain pro
clamations, letters and despatches to said
Southern Provisional Governors, Legislatures,
etc., on reconstruction, including certain otUcial
papers, recognizing the Rebel States, in detUnee
ol Congress, as duly reinstated in the general
Government.
Upon these charaes and specifications of usur
pation and iu fidelity the issue will be a con
elusive against Mr. Johnson as were the accusa
tions against Charles the First and Louis the
Sixteenth. But while these two unfortunate
kings lost their beads, Mr. Johnson, like James
the Second, eipelled for similar oll'enses of
usnroation of the powers ct Parliament, will
only lose his place. In one respect he will be
more fortunate, even Mian James; for while he
was compelled to end his days as an exile, eat
ing tlie bread of charity iu a foreign land, Mr.
jobDson will ho restored to his old home among
the beautiful mountains of East Tennessee.
There, in the cultivation ot cabbages and phi
losophy, he may, like Buchanan, write the his
tory of his decline and fall; or, like John Tyler,
devote his leisure to the improvement of peaches
and sweet potatoes. His only condemnation
will be that of Othello to Oaxio "I love thee,
Casslo, but never more be officer of mine."
All this, expressly ordained in the Constitu
tion will be perfectly fair, Jubt, and proper, and
!.,,ntrv will so accept it, There will be no
juic, bo Civil war. ua no lus about It, except
amonff the fuwy politicians. A fop Mr. John
son's tamoua fourih ot March and Iweaty second
of February excitement, and . hi September
holiday Irulic with Mr. Howard (o Chicago, they
will bo as secondary misdemeanor. Weighed
In the scale against the heavy charee of usur
nation, they are mere leather and prunella. The
Senate, we hope, will spare (General (irantand
Admiral Fnriagut In tho matter ot testHying to
the funny doings of that Chicago escapade, ft
Mr. Seward can tell all that is necessary, and
more, too, concerning It. With Mr. Johnson's
removal General Grant will probably, by law,
be at once promoted to his place, and, if ft
special election be ordered in the fall, will un
questionably bo chosen by tho people to fill up
the Interval'to the 4th of March, 1809. Other
wise, under tbe existing law. the President of
the Sciate will bo transferred to the Wh'te
House, subject to the issue ot a special Presi
dential election.
The proeramme la simple and easy, as pro
vided in tbe Constitution; and when thus
finally reduced to the sovereign authority of
Congress, the Rebel Slates will have no alter
native but to submit, as other Slates and
peoples have done, through tho last five or
six thousand years, to the necessities ol their
situation, and to the issues of a conflict of
their own chrositur. Meantime the pending
Constitutional Amendment will soon be duly
ratified to make it part of the supreme law of
the land; and tlicn, whether the outside Htates
have accepted or rejected it, they must obey It
all the same. All the fuss that we hear ot panic,
blood, and thunder, as sure to come with John
sou's removal, 1" only that Chinese cltmor of
pongs and horrible dragons which neeer stand
fire.
Ileorgnnl .atlnn of the Civil Service Mr.
Jtuikcn' Ulll.
From the Ttmei.
The only objection we have seen urged against
Mr. Jenckes' bill for the reorganization ot the
civil service is predicated upon the alleged cen
tralizing tendencies of the scheme. ''We rhall
have more bureaus," it is said, "more commis
sioners, more consolidation ol authority." No
objection could be offered less justly applicable
to.the case. In all that pertains to the appoint
ment of those who arc known as "inferior offi
cers," the present system is the ne p.us ultra of
centralisation. Practically the whole appoint
ing power is wielded by the Executive, who
exercises it arburaiily, without a pretense of
responsibility, and with a habitual mdiilcreuce
to the requirements ot the public service, or the
qualitications tor efficiency ot the persons ap
pointed. There can be no greater centralization than
this none more demoralizdu: In its influence,
or more likely to inmre the prostitjtiou of the
Government patro.iage to party cuds. Under
the plan pioposed, the appointing power will
remain in the hands ot the Executive, and to
this extent, it may be argued, the evil ot con
solidated authority will continue. But the
present temptation to an abuse of the authority
will no lonuer exist. Theie will be no induce
ment to remove the army of subordinate office
holders because they are' politically obnoxious,
when their successors must he crio.sen Irom a
elass selected with exclusive reference to th-'
qualitications of ability and character, regard
less of party affinities. For nil partisan pur
poses the appoiuiiim power will be destroyed.
It will be restricted to vacaucies arising legiti
mately, and will be confined within such nar
row limits that the partisan use of patronage
will cease.
And what new danger to free government
can be traced in the creation of a Bo trd of three
Commissioners, charged with tho duty ot pro
nouncing judgment upon the relative capacity
and tPness ot those w ho may desire to enter the
Government service? "More bureaus" is the
cry. But the constant growth oi the business
ot the Government, consequent upon the mar
vellous development ot the country's crea'ness,
demands more anil more the sub-division of
governmental labor. In the days of Jefferson,
the heads of the Departments might have found
time to constitute themselves a Board of Hx
aminers, and in this character might have scru
tinized the merits of applicants for office. Tiie
idea would now be preposterous.
And as the exigencies ot the service have
uecei-sitated special commissions of inquiry
concerning the revenue, so now they necessitate
the formation of a bOHrd to provide the means
of reiorniintr the personnel of the Departments.
By what other agency wou'd it be possible to
conduct the examination proposed? It none
ele be possible without withdrawing the atten
tion of the departmental heads irom urgent and
every day duties, it lollows that we must either
accept the means provided by Mr. Jenckes' bill,
or abandon tbe scheme of competitive examina
tions and the selection of appointees Horn lists
ot properly qualiiied individuals. The alterna
tive will not be entertained save by those who
make the creation of a new Beard a pretext for
opposing the vast ref'oi m that lies beyond.
Except within defined limits, the new Board
will be poweiless. They will be able neither to
aismis nor to appoint. Their jurisdiction will
extend no further than the arrangement of the
subiects over which the examination for the
various grades will ranue, and the ir-uing cer
tucntes to ihose who may prove themselves
wottby of official employment. The task, is not
easy, nor tbe responsibility trifling. But cer
tainly there is nothing iu it that should frighten
honest advocates of the decentralizing theory.
Mr. Herbert Spencer would hardly object to a
change intended to purge the Departments from
partisanship, and secure the appointment of
capable, trustworthy men to office.
The florin Is not one that may be effected
without hard lanor. we are aware. Party virtue
has not attained to the standard of sublime selt-
sacritice which In ordinary circumstances
would be implied by tbe pa-saue of this mea-
Mire. Ordinarily, moreover, it would bo almost i
impossible tor any paity to legislate with a view
to the wholesale purwicaiion of the civil service
system, in a manner that would not incur an
Imputation ot sinister motives. Whatever the
purpose, it would be cbareed that the enact
ment of tests ot fitness was simply an excuse tor :
tbe removal of partisan adversaries. Now, how- I
ever, the btate ot political and party ailairs is
peculiarly favorable to the consideration of the
subject on its merits. Removal and appoint
ments foim one of the grounds of difference be
tween the Presinent and Coueress. The autho
rity of the Capitol finds itself at issue with the
authority ot the White House and the Depart
ments on this very subject.
Here. then, is a method by which this particu
lar difference may be overcome.not only without
just cau-e of oileuse to either side, but with
manliest advantage to the country. It cannot
be alleged tnat there is an invasion of the Presi
dent's authority all that is proposed Is the
restraining of Us exercise.in the interest of the
public. On this basis, a combination ot parties
seems feasible, since neither is asked to make
an immediate 6unender of power or profit. The
Kepublican majority, at any rate, owe this re
form to the country, and should no longer
delay its pasture. With a single stroke, they
may prevent the continuance of abuses and
irrievHriei nf which i be v roin'ilaiu. divest Gov
ernment employment of the discredit that
uttaches to it, and establish a system which
will combine a larce reduc.lon of expenditure
with a decree of eUicieucy at present unknown
to any branch of the civil service.
Passage of the Tariff BUI.
i' om the World (t ree Truth).
The bill of abominations which has just passed
the Senate.ls the same Tariff bill which passod
the House the last session, so altered by multi
tudinous amendments as to make it, in many
particulars, more unjust and oppressive than
the original. We hope that the amendments
may be concurred in, aud that tho bill, in its
present hideous shape, may become a law.
From tbe now ascertained views of tho two
Houses, we are certain to have a high and
oppressive tariff anyhow, and the best thing to
be hoped is that absurdity may so overleap
itself as to hasten tbe inevitable, the overwhelm
ing reaction.
Instead ol a bill to increase the revenue, It
ought to have b?en entitled a bill to blockade
our own portf. We are practising upon our
selves, in tiniM of peace, wnat we inflicted on
the South the stern applinnce of war. The
beauties and benrtim ol complete "protection
perfection, but it is not generally sapposed to
have enriched the Southern people. Its only
ellect was to produce universal distress, it
curried tip prices several hundred per cent, for
the benefit of blockade-runners and the rickety
manu'acttires it forced into a sickly existence.
We know that it may be said that the crippling
effects of the blockade were owing to the desti
tution of established manufactures, and that
t nty years of protection previous to the war
would have tendered the blockade harmless.
But the real ellect of that kind of protection
would have been to stunt the growth of the
South, so that instead ot holding oat four
jcars. It could not have maintained the war
tour months.
It the South had possessed power to hem itself
aiound with the voluntary blockade ol a protec
tive taiifl lor twenty years before tbe war, and
had used that power, the effect would have been
1 to divert a large portion of its capital and
1 industry into manufactures. Instead of grow
ing rich and powerful by the sale of cotton, its
i sericulture would have languished; lor Its
deficient capital did not suffice for both pur
suits, and, having to buy abroad, tho South
i would have no motive to raise anythina to sell.
The greatest want of a new country, for its rapid
development, is the use of capital; and this Is
generally furnished by older communities, not
in tbe shape of money, but ot goods sold on
credit. The South, by purchasing its goods in
this way instead of mauuincturing them, was
1 alw ays In the use ot larae amonts of capital not
Its own, which enabled it, in the absence of
immigration, and in spite of a bad labor system,
to grow up to prodigious strength.
Had the South manufactured its own goods,
it would have lacked this aid and stimulus, and
its nroeiess would have been feeble. All the
surplus motey it could save or borrow it de
voted to tne construction of railroads, and it
w as chiefly by Hie aid of these and a well-developed
agriculture that the South was enabled
to baifle so lrngthe mightiest armies ever raised
lor purposes of invasion. It the South had built
lactones Instead ot railroads, it could not have
resisted the Noith for a single campaign. The
rapidity with which it could transler troops on
interior lines, to meet us at every threatened
point, multiplied the Southern soldiers. The
Southern armies could have been fed so long
as they were, on.y in a country givcu up to
agriculture.
When the catastrophe at last came, it was
cKiefly by want of food and the wearing out
ct tbe' railroads. It is clear, then, that the free.
! trade policy of the Sou' h was wise, even as an
element ol inilitaiy srrength; and fact have
demonstrated that the blockade, which eavc
' that set tion four years of complete protection
to "home industry," was something very differ
ent from blessing. And yet our sace legisla
tors at Wasliitigton are aiming to blockade our
our own ports, and distress our own people,
by n nieiliOd who.-e practical eUect must be the
. sail e as a treat cordon ot blockading squadrons.
Protection i a well-souiidins word, ar.d we
tu o willing to concede that the thing it properly
sieiiiiies is the otly Icritiinafe object of govern-
i n, cut. Government owe protection, not to the
niniiuiiieturcrs uieicly, but to every clasa of
cm.eiis ai d to every individual. It i sacredly
bound to protect each and all against injustice
and wrong, against the lapacity which would
' inipoverisn a part ot the community by tra.,s-
i leirinir t lit ir earnii gs or their property without
compensation to others. But w hat in common
pr.jlancojis called "i rotec ion" is a form of rob
bery. bo is it that asks tor protection ? Who
are the men that nil the lobbies and besiege the
committees of Congress to clamor lor high
' duties? it is not the people; not anybody de
puted by them to express their wishes; but the
greedy mnnutctureis and their well-paid agents.
Ami what do the e cormorants ass to be pro
tected ofjitnst '! is it against oppression by the
conjiiiimm '! Oh, no! Against injustice? Again
; no. Atanist takiug away their piotietty to give.
! to others? Sull li.e same no. Whsit then ?
' Vby, anainu low prices they want to be pro
tected against low prices, and agaiust nothing
el-e. But to whom are low pr.ces an evil ? To
the rnpaci' us manufacturers only. To all the
rest ot the community, low pn. es are an ndvan
tavie and a blessing. The sole object of the spe
cies ot robbiry mi-named protection is to keep
up cr carry up price's that is, v prevent all
consumers from Lctring as m.my goods for the
same money as they would if trade were left
free.
The manufacturers being con fes-edly unable
to makeguodsaselieaply asthey can b'iuiported,
having con:essedly gone into unprofitable
blanches of business, have the Impudence to
ask that other people shall be compelled nrake
up their losses. And this leeal robbery of some
to reward the bail management ot others is
called protection ! We should prefer to see the
laborets of the country protected in their right
to the free use of their wages, ami against the
unjust compulsion to pay more chaii goods are
worth because a few rich owners of factories
would suffer by low prices. The slavery which
we have abolished took irom the negroes all
tlieir earniuas beond a bore subsistence, aud
pave the surplus to their master; but the tariff
transfers tbe sjstem to the North, and takes the
earnings ol the while laborers to give to a few
Republican magnate.--. Down with this odious
aristocnicy in legislation !
