It ifl great nikfortuna to the world that tho policy of tho Catholic Church is controlled entirely by a small bodj of Italian ecclesias tics, who contrive to retain all the highest offices of the Church, including tho Fope dom in their own hands, and who really know little or nothing about tho requirements of the age in which they live. The men about the court of Rome exist in a little world of their own, and all their ideas are colored by surroundings that are as different as poRsiblo from those of the Catholic clergy in such countries as France, England, and tho United States. As is always the case with men in such a situation, they are retrogressive rather than progressive, and they are utterly una ble to comprehend the nature and ex tent of the antugonism to tho Roman Church that exists outside of Italy. They do not know or care to know the strength of their enemies, and they reso lutely prosecute a policy that binds hand and foot the zealous Catholics who aro endoavor ing to advance the interests of their religion ia all parts of the world. The protest of Father Ilyacinthe is an example of the dissatis faction and disgust that exist among the in telligent Catholics who are out of the range of the Vatican influences, and who know by many and bitter experiences how mistaken many of the actions of the Pope and his counsellors are. It was well understood that the great coun cil called by the Pope is designed to ratify decisions already resolved upon, the principal dogmas to be asserted being the personal in fallibility of the Pope and the assumption of the Virgin. It was a knowledgo of tho real character of the council that called forth the protest of Father Hyacinthe. We scarcely, however, expected that anything of the kind would be openly acknowledged at Rome, and it is certainly a remarkable exam ple of the total inability of the rulers of the Church to comprehend the real situation, that the official organ of the Pope, the Civitta Catt'tUca, should say plainly, as it is reported to do by a cable despatch, "That the bishops have been sum moned to the council not to deliberate on and decide questions by a vote of the majority, but to ratify decisions already resolved upon by tho Sovereign and Infallible Pontiff." The doctrine of the Church always has been that the decision of a universal council, after free and impartial discussion, was the voice of the Church. In such a council the Pope has but one voice and vote, the same as any other bishop, and it is essential that the most unrestrained freedom of debate should be allowed in order to make the conclusions of the council binding. If there is any re straint upon the discussions, if every member of the council is not allowed to speak his mind freely and to vote according to his con science, there are hosts of Catholics who will refuse to recognize the decisions as being those of a real council of the Church. One prominent clergyman has already announced his position in clear, unmistakable terms, and if what the official organ of the Vatican Court says proves true, he will undoubtedly be joined by others whose love for the Church and faith in its doctrines cannot be disputed. A grand opportunity to establish its authority and influence more firmly than ever is apparently about to be thrown away by the Roman Church, and with the influences for good which it can readily wield, this course cannot but cause profound regret to impartial and right-minded men, whether Catholics or Protestants. Yesterday the Commercial Convention which has been in session during the week at Louisville fixed to-day as the period of its final adjournment. A strong Southern feel ing pervaded nearly all its proceedings. In discussing the Southern Pacific Railroad question, it decided, amid prolonged cheers, to favor the El Paso or extreme Southern route, which runs westward from the Rio Grand, near tho boundary line dividing the United States from Mexico, while the route of the thirty-fifth parallel, which was so enthusiastically condamned, is in about the same latitude as Newbern, N. C, Chatta nooga,' Memphis, and Fort Smith. The former is especially advantageous to the inte rests of the Gulf States, while the latter would more nearly approximate a line run through the central portion of the entire body of Commonwealths classified as South ern States. Reports were also adopted favor ing the establishment of steamship lines be tween Europe and Southern ports, and various other propositions doomed useful to Southern interests were approved. As tho Sonth is now an integral portion of the Union, the increase of her prosperity will prove use ful to the entire nation, and it will therefore be gladly noted by all other sections; but at the same time the bitter memories of the war are not sufficiently subdued to make tho American people anxious to shower benefits nnon the Gulf Stales at the expense of "L Northorn tax-payerg. The Harribburg J 'at nut labors under a ludicrous misconception of the difficulty at the meeting of the Return Judges in this city. It alleges that that body manipulated tho vote for Governor so as to largely increase Geary's majority and thus overcome, un justly, the rural majority for Packer, and it announces in a Rouibastes Furioso double Jeuv4 K'tuvr mi iuu Uiia wuu" tt'iii io prevented, even "if a te xd Bnkhal vrnr ttixt tummon to Jlarrixburg on Inauguration. Day mir nturdy yemwury by Hit ten thou sand." This is spicy cooding for the disap pointed patrons of the Patriot, but it will find few rocruits foe its proposed cebellioa. The nation has had quite enough of such campaigns, and it would bo the poorest kind of a speculation to buy buckshot in expecta tien of a rise. The RErmuoAN triumph in Ohio is unex pectedly complete. They have not only elected their Gubernatorial candidate by a large majority, but obtained control of the Legislature, and thus secured the ratification of the new Constitutional amendment. This result is due in a large measure to the mannor in which the campaign wa9 conducted and the issues it involved. The nomination of Pendleton by the Democracy led to a square fight on tho old party issues, which were earnestly and ably dLscussod by the best ora tors of both parties, and tho people have fchown that they are as ready now as ever to repudiate repudiation, to ratify reconstruc tion, and to renounce rebellion. The political situation in France is anoma lous. AVhilo the Emperor has approved the mollification of tho old Imperial system, he has refused to define the extent of tho re gained liberties of the pbople, and the Lon don Times charges that his confidants act "as if no change had occurred, and none was in tended; as if personal rule were now, and might be expected forever to be, what it has been in the worst times." Tho Emperor ap pears to be determined to retain a controlling influence over all important popular move ments, and he is making himself more un popular than ever by his tortuous policy.
