Florence, March 12. Ileal concern is felt
on account of tho pressure, or rcairuint, which
the Catholic powers are more and more in
clined to exercise at Iloine. To be sure, there
Is no interference, ns there should bo none, with
tho liberty o action of tho couucll, but the re
peated wan.incs are the rod and threatening
linger which Rome has to keep constantly beforu
its eye. The prelates carry a stiff upper lip, and
talk of having tbe power to make mischief if
they are not allowed to have their own way; but
itey recognize with dread the formidable oppo
sition with which they have to deal. Italy and
Spain are in open antagonism, and Austria,
ns well as France, is disposed to put
the screws on, if any decrees of tho council uro
in conflict with the rielits of the State or the
national legislation. The present position of
Austria is most interesting. We know that the
action of soino of the German bishops has been,
and tho civil authority is disposed to go con
siderable lengths, to put a check on Kome. A
statement has come to one lately of what Aus
tria will be likely to do under tho circumstances,
and it is in this sense. The Austrian-Hungarian
monarchy will respect the rights of the Church,
while it sees toittbatits own laws are respected.
An informal understanding among the Catholic
powers permits the council to exercise full
liberty in discussing and settling the questions
of dogma and discipline; and this while
the sovereigns do not avail themselves of the
ancient prerogative of having their special
agents take part in the deliberations of the as
sembly. Such abstention of the civil power is a
recognition of tbe spirit of the time which tends
to a.6eparation of the secular from tho sacerdotal
power; if the act is not, indeed, an adoption of
the principle of such separation, By the absence
of its agents, and in no manner responsible for
thecouclusionsof the council, the civil authority
unquestionably reserves to itself the right to re
Viow the decisions and to dcDy or accept themas
they are In accord or in conflict with the consti
tutional privileges of the. sovereign, the rights of
the State and the public good. Austria, in com
mon with other advanced or advancing Catholic
States, has taken a stand against the spiritual
usurpation which had been permitted for bo
many centuries to go on, almost without re
straint. The concordat of 1855, mnch less libe
ral for Austria than that of France of more an
cient date, gives the bishops free communica
tion with Kome, with full power to publish its
bulls and decrees. The new legislation in Aus
tria, of a liberal character, has changed the sys
tem of public instruction, and modified the mar
riage law in such a way as to take tbe control of
both from the hands of the clergy and give it to
the civil authority, to which it properiy belongs.
This has caused much agitation among the pre
lates, who, taking their order from Rome, have
advised disregard of the law. The State is now
obliged to be more than ever on its guard, since
in tbe council canons have been proposed
which, if adopted, are calculated to create in
subordination nnd menace the pnblle peace.
Certainly In our day the civil authority of no
State which respects itself or wishes to be re
spected will permit the publication within its
limits of the Impudent doctrine that all laws are
to be considered null and void and of no effect
if they are not approved by tho decrees of the
llomish Church. Mo pretensions could be more
dangerous, if the power were possessed to make
them good, for the privileges most highly prized
by enlichtened society would be destroyed
liberty of worship, freedom of the press, popular
instruction under the direction of municipal
committees, tbe equality of the clergy
of every grade before the law, tho validity of
civil marriage, and whatever else of good, mod
ern legislation, without the consent of the
Church, has taken the liberty to give us. France
and Italy are better grounded in the enjoyment
of their rights of this sort, for in the former
country time has already made them the habit
of the people, and here many years of suffering
frem the Injustice of the Church has made tho
population determlnod to resist :tt all hazards
its usurpations. But in Austria the struggle is
not half over, or but just begun. The igno
rance of the inhabitants in the rural communi
ties gave the priests almost absolute control.
In Italy there is much more of municipal life.
SPAIN.
The Loan Adopted by the Cortes Motive Tor
the Keceot Addition.
Madrid, March 23. Notwithstanding the
vigorous opposition of the Union Liberals and
the Republicans to the bill for the sale of the
Treasury bonds, the Cortes have adopted it by
79 against 33. But the Minister made an im
portant concession to the opposition. He pro
mised to present In a few days a bill for tho sale
of tho mines of Kio Territo, Almaden, and
Torrevleja by means of a public auction, which
will be announced six months beforehand.
These two last resources of Spain will suflice
to.a'Jeviate for a year the burdens of the exche
quer, but afterwards, if the situation of tho
country is In no wise Improved, there will bo
nothing remaining but to sell the State woods,
which will fetch about 350,000,000 or 400,000,000
of reals.
At the bottom of all tho political agitation
which is manifesting itself in Madrid, there Is
one most important question, never mentioned
in the papers, but which, nevertheless, remains
no longer a secret.
TheXTnIon Liberals, seeing that the Kopubll
r.iP.s had struck, through 8enor Castelar, a
t'angcrous blow at General Prim and all the
Ministry, In consequence wf their hesitation to
give their attention to the questions on the oreer
of the day, thought the opportunity had arrived
for rh'diug themsclf of General Prim and his
colleagues, and as the question of the loan fur
nished them with a favorable ground for their
mana-uvres, the Liberal Union commenced at
once hostilities against the Ministry, with con
fident expectations of victory, aud hopes
of taking themselves Ithe reins of government.
General Prim saw at once that If the Carllsts
and the Republicans voted with the Liberals
against the bill he would be in danger of seeing
himself forced to retire; consequently, he looked
towards the Radicals, to whom he gave the
uromlse that, if they would grant him their sup
port, he would break with the Liberals and
introduce all the bills in suspension since several
months on account of the opposition they had
encountered on the part of the Liberals, whose
sympathy ho was then anxious to gain. As yet
this has proved no empty promise.
Tbe Cortes will discus shortly the bill on civil
marriages, and on the register of the civil
status, held up till now by the priests excla
sively. The proposed reforms in the criminal
ana civil codes, ana tuose iu me coae ae proce
dure, will also be discussed. One of the first
bills to which the Cortes will glvo their atten
tion will be that on the reforms in thu clergy.
Not only will tbe number of priests be consid
erably lessened, but the income of tho prelates
and the canons will be reduced one-third,
which will save about G0,000,W0 reals yearly to
the State.
On this ceaslon the Republicans will demand
anew the complete separation of Church aud
State.
Tbf Minister of the Colonies has laid before
U'b Council of Ministers the following bills,
each deputy being requested to read and study
them before expressing his opinion on them;
they will then be discussed in the Cortes.
Firstly, a bill concerning the municipalities
of Porto Rico, the conseils-genercuse, and the
civil governors as prefects; secondly, concern
ing pnblle order; thirdly, the electoral laws,
including the elections of the municipalities, the
conseilx-gmereuse, the Deputies, aud the Sena
tors; fourthly, concerning the privileges and
duties of foreigners; and lastly, a bill for tho
emancipation of slaves in Porto Rico. This
bill proposes that all negroes born since 2ltth
September, 1N)8, shall be free. This will be
one great step towards the total abolition of
slavery, which cannot yet bo taken into
consideration, owing to tho condition of the
exchequer, but which will probably be effected
when Cuba has returned its Deputies.
I have it also on good authority that the Min
ister is preparing several ether bills for tho colo
nization ot all the Spanish settlements, without
exception, the establishment of the registers of
the civil status, and to transfer the direction of
tho cemeteries from the hands of tho priests to
those of tbe civil authorities. He will also
shortly lay before the Council of MInistors a
plan for the total reorganization of tho tribu
nals, and a decree establishing the freedom of
worship in the Philippine Islands and at Fer
nando Po.'
Tbe minister will further introduce reforms
in the method of keeping accounts in the An
tilles. In future these accounts will not be re
vised by tbe Council of the Indies, but by a com
mittee appointed by the Minister of the Colo
nics. The debates on all these questions will last
nntil the middle of July, when tho intolerable
heat of Madrid will render It Impossible for the
deputies to pursue their labors in the Cortes.
During this recess uie inemners will study tne
bills concerning the organic laws; for the de
lates upon these latter will only commence in
November.
NOVEL CUHIOSITT.
Thousand of Women Crowding to Hee a
The Newark Advertiser of last evening gives
an illustration of a singular female character
istic: Tho fi-'.neral of Mrs. Marie E. Rose, which took
place from her late residence in Broad street
this morning, was me occasion oi an almost
disgraceful exhibition of curiosity on the part
of those who seemed determined to see, for the
last time, a woman who had possessed more
than ordinary personal beauty, and whose re
cent separation from her husband, at an alleged
cost of $2500, had excited very general com
ment. Other events, connected with her single
life, bad also given her name considerable
prominence, and the false report that she had
poisoned herself by an overdose of arsenic
taken to beautify her complexion did not de
tract from the sensational character of her life
and death. The announcement of her death
was made by her friends as that of Marie .
Hesse her maiden name while immediately
underneath it appeared another notice, pre
pared and paid for by her husband or his friends,
in which she was spoken of as the "wife of J.
Nelson Rose, Jr." The first notice informed tho
friends of deceased that her remains could bo
seen at her late residence, No. S41 Broad street,
from 8 to 10 o'clock this morning.
Consequently, before the first mentioned hour
had arrived the late residence of deceased w;h
literally besieged by friends and curious person,
and by half-past eight o'clock the throng
mostly women had become so great that it ws
found necessary to summon assistance from tho
police, in order that the crowd might ba com
pelled to form an Inward and an outward linn,
and thus put a stop to the crowding and dis
graceful jostling which followed the attempt of
hundreds to get through a narrow 011 at once.
After Officer Wyman arrived, and took his
position at the front door, it was found
necessary to forbid ingress to all until
tbe crowd who had become packed
inside the house could have au opportunity to
pass out. With mnch difficulty owing to the
eagerness of the two or thre hundred wonvni
outside tne door mose insiae were eu.i'jiei to
get out, and then tho waiting thrng, whic'i
kept constantly lncreasiug, were permitted to
pass in, walk around the corpse, which lay lu an
upper room, ana pass o n again uv me saum
route they entered, only keeping to the left and
passing the ln-comers en me ngut. in tnm wy
at least two thousand women irnd several hun
dred men obtained a glimpse of uiu coffin and
corpse, and new corners vre still arriving
when it was found neeesTiry to close the door
to all.
It is understood that trie elfeUjrir.o arrange
ments for this notable funerut were vn-idii by
deceased duriog her lur t hoi:rs. -Mr. Kose, t!i
husband, lrom whom uho hud been some
months separated, was present at tbe funer.il,
and it Is said that ho iotend4 to content
the will by which bis wile rtevhu-d tomo
120,000 to her parents.
The Breaker Rebuilt-Work to ho UeMiincri on
.iiaiuniY.
The Scranton liepubUnau of t!;e !rh hint, sav;
On the morning of the (1th of September l:t
the fearlal news flashed over the wires tint lh:
Avondale mine breaker we on fire, aud that 'Zi'i
men were imprisoned therein, 'lhtt bintory of
that dreadful attair is tresu in tuuuiiudaci all.
and particularly in those ol tbe bereaved rela
tives and friends of tho ICS men and boys found
dead in the mines, and of thone ol thu two
brave men who lost their liven in the effort to
release their imprisoned companion-. On Mon
day next, seven months after the cakm'uy hap
pened, the mine will again commence work.
A new ureaKer ami an neeueaiiry iiniiuiiigs
and machinery have just been completed ut wn
expense of about $80,000. It U pronounced by
good judges tho best breaker la the Wyoming
Valley. Four months a;;o the work was com
menced of driving an opeuiug to the much
talked of at tho time Lniou luiur. It will per
haps be remembered that it was iruely s.kid Wy
many that an opening v me aimiMounu portion
of said mine could have been driven la a tw
days, although it appeared iu evidence on thu
inquest that tne nearest, point to sain mine was
COO feet. On Thursday hist a hole was driven
through to said Union miu. alter Cliti feet of
boring from the Avondale side, and from thirty
to forty feet ou tbe Union side.
1 ho mine was strncK at tne Dottom of a plane,
where were several feet in depth of water,whlch
of course immediately ran into Avondale. It Is
said that the dally accumulation of water from
this source can easily be removed with two
donkey pumps. This opening has cost the com
pany about $4000. With this opening, pro
bably such another calamity can never again
occur. In addition to this precaution, however,
the company have sunk, at an expense of over
t3000, an air shaft nlucty-slx feet in depth, to
the old rook tunnel, the opening being 150 feet
from the roeuth of the shaft. But they have
introduced still another means of safety. Ia
future the mine is to be ventilated with a fan
Instead of furnace.
On Monday next, when the mine will re
commenee work, tbe management expect to
raise from 125 to 150 car-loads of coal, and to
increase it when la full operation a lew weeks
bonce to 100 cars, pftf flaw From tbe fora
going some !.ica nmy be formed of the loss to
me ccnrfttiy by the disaster, but there are
ftlhcr )(ssrs, if any one desires to look at tho
matter from a money point of view. There
are tho expenses of putting out the lire, ot the
search (which caused a stoppage of work for
a week at all tbe mines of the company, and
a consequent loss of production), aud the pro
fit on the (10,000 tons of coal which Avoudale
vtould have produced in the seven montln
which have elapsed. But how infinitely trivial
is this money estimate when compared with
tbe loss of human life which tho affair entailed !
Who can compute the value of that?
THE WAR IX WYOMING.
How It Commenced (Jennral Alnrra or the
Weitlcm Frnrs and Vain Krurrt.
South Pass, Wyoming, March 81. This
community has been again startled by a warlike
or murderous visit from a band of hostile or
friendly Indians, supposed to bo Arapahocs.
Early this morning tho only son of Dr. J. M.
Irwin was seired almost within a stone throw of
Atlantic City, four miles from here, by a party
of Indians, and. after having been entirely
stripped of his clothing, was shot and lett for
dead.
Upon his body are four wounds, throe caused
by arrows and one by a bullet. Tho lad, who
was picked up by a party who heard his screams,
wns fortunately restored to consciousness after
having been carried to his father's house, and
said that he believed them to be Arapahocs; and
as tbe Arapahocs have been encamped in the
Wind River V alley this pa6t winter, and a por
tion of them having made a friendly visit to this
district, the boy's statement is doubtless correct.
It is hoped the sufferer may recover, but the
case is pronounced doubtful by bis father, who
is a practising physician and surgeon in
Atlantic.
FEARS,
A party of more than thirty Indians was ob
served within a half mile of Atlantic at about
sunrise this morning. Fears are now enter
tained for tho safety of prospectors, who are
now scattered about the hills in almost every
direction. It is also feared, but not yet known
for certain, that tho horses which have been
herded in Wind River Valley during the post
winter have been driven away. This is a month
earlier than the Indian depredations commenced
here last year.
VAIN REGRETS.
During the past winter an expedition was for
some timo talked of to go down aud "clean
out" tho Arapahoo camp, und regrets are now
expressed that the contemplated project was not
executed.
INDORSING SHERIDAN'S l'OHCT.
To-day a petition iudorsing General Sheri
dan's Indian policy, and asking that Colonel
Baker or some officer of his fighting qualifica
tions be placed in command in Wind River
Valley, is in circulation. There can be no doubt
that if the settlers once organize for retaliation
a good many Indians will he "civilized."
TO BE INVESTIGATED.
Governor Campbell. Judge Jones, and the Pay
master are expected to arrive here n Saturday
nnd go to Wind river on Sunday, when the
Governor will probably investigate Indian affairs
in that region.

Kxerntlon of Jack Kenoliln.
New Yokk, April 8. Sylvester Brcen, better
known as Jack Reynolds, the murderer of Wil
liam Townscnd, was hanged to-day in tho
Tombs Prison yard. The execution was con
ducted quietly, and witnessed by about 1500
people. Ever since Reynolds realized that there
was no hope for him he ceased to present those
symptoms supposed to Indicate insanity, and
made suitable preparations for death.
He rested well last night, having parted with
his brother, Joseph Breen, and his sistcr-ln-law.
Breakfast was given him at an early hour, and
he attended mass immediately after, passing
under the gallows on his way to tho chapel.
The remaining hours of the criminal's life were
spent in his devotions. At 8 o'clock, however,
his counsel called to Bee him. Reynolds ex
pressed himself as ready to die, and was very
sorry for what he had done, maintaining his
usual composure.
At 9 o'clock his toilette for the scaffold was
made nnd the noose placed around his neck. At
sixteen minutes after 9 o'clock tho procession
was formed, and the doomed man took up his
march for the scaffold, apparently moved for
the moment by his terrible position. Tho Under
Sheriff, Joel O. Stevens, had mercifully arranged
that the religious services at the scaffold should
be short, so that after a single pruyer with his
spiritual adviser, Reynolds was permitted to
kiss the crucifix whilo kneeling.
A moment after the cap was drawn down,
the rope adjusted, and the condemned was
suddenly launched into eternity. Death did
not occnr until seventeen mluutes had elapsed,
although the culprit evidently suffered but
little.
A post-mortem examination will bo held this
afternoon to determine whether Reynolds suf
fered from cerebral disease.
A full account of the murder for which Rey.
nolds paid the extreme penalty of the law this
morning will be found upon the seventh page of
Thb Tei.eguapii, together with a report of his

Fall of a Building.
New York, April 8. The north wall of tho
mammoth iron building Nos.740and 743 Broad
way, owned by Wood & Brothers, and intended
as a carriago warehouse, fell with a tremendous
crash at 2 o'clock this morning. Fortunately
no one was in the building at tho time, or there
would have been a loss of life to record. The
building had been erected somewhat hurriedly,
but it is supposed that the recent heavy ruins
had undermined the foundation walls.
The damage, it is supposed, will be about
$100,000.

COL. TISK, OF THE HOSS MARINES."
Admiral Jim Jubilee, Jr., Joins "the Army"
lie Nprendw Himself, Bonnes Everybody, and
ftlnkes a IHnilimiilMhert Funs.
The Ninth New York Regiment resolved itself
last night into the Fislc body guard by electing
tbe Erie admiral as lis colonel. Twenty officers
were present, out of whom elghtueu voted for
the railway Napoleon, one for Colonel Jackson
and one, with conscientious scruples, put in a
blank.
One of the committee on opening tho door of
the hall announced to the privates of the regi
ment that "Jim Fisk" had been elected colonel,
and a rousing cheer went up.
The newly elected Colonel of the 9th Marines
received the committee in his usual suave
manner, aud proceeded with them to the
armory, where be was received with a feeling
akin to that which usually greeted the late
Artemus Ward on his appearance in public.
The jokes of the rich are ever successful, says
the satirist, and on this occasion tbe attempt
was as successful as the performance. Every
ollicer seemed anxious to greet this groat Napo
leon of tho realm of burlesque with the ready
guerdon of a laugh, but Jim Jubilee, evidently
feeling the Importance of his position, reduced
his speech to the dictatorial style of Oeneral
Bourn.
Colonel Napoleon Fisk, during the issue of
instructions to his submissive vassals, punc
tuated, figuratively speaking, his sentences with
taps of his cane, and in the enthusiasm of the
moment forgot the artificial, and, in a round
outb, became quite natural. Being a man of many
and influential friends he wished to organize an
honorary association, and thereupon the vassal
appointed two from among the body of serfs to
confer with the Prince. A number of men of
means will thus become members of the 0th
Regiment, and the rsprit de corps will
of course prevent them from witnessing failure.
The captains of the various companies succes
sively reported the condition of their commands,
and were informed by the uutocrat that it they
were not up to tbe mark he should "frown upon
them" and put thcra nnder the ban of his dls-
J Measure, lie informed them that there was a
ist of BOO railroad employes who were ready to
join as soon as possible, and a recruiting depot
was assigned. The object of this mamcuvro
of tho Prince of Erie is evidently to make
this regiment a mere body guard for the
corporation he controls, and the supercili
ous and dictatorial way he treated tho officers
gave riee to the suspicion. At the conclusion of
these elngular performances no congratulations
were exchanged, and a feeling prevailed tho t
they had made a mistake in choosing a person
who could not distinguish independent oltlcers
and gentlemen from his own employes. It is
understood that on the 21th proximo the Ad
miral Colonel will expose himself at the head
of the 9th Marines in a street parade. This in
timation will bring joy to the breasts ot every
militia man and be the military sensation of the
year.

There Is perhaps a slight improvement in the
business demand for .money, which, however, is
not of a character to disturb the present cane of
the market. Call loans have been greatly stimu
lated by tho sudden flurry at the Stock Board,
leading to a good deal of shifting aud a very
material advance In prices. The ouly effect on
the market, however, will be to afford tempo
rary employment for some of the unemployed
cnp'ltal of the banks. Neither in call loans nor
discounts do we perceive any chango iu rates or
any disposition on the part of lenders to check
the present active demand by increasing them.
