FRIDAY, MAY 20, 1870.
The Evening Telegraph, from
Its original establishment, has been in the
receipt of telegraphic news from the New
York Associated Press, which consists of
the Tribune, Times, Herald, World,
Sun, Journal of Commerce, Evening Post,
Commercial Advertiser, and Evening Ex
press. The success which has attended
our enterprise is, in itself, a sufficient evi
dence of the freshness, fullness, and relia
bility ot the news which we have received
from this source. We have now entered
Into a special contract by which The
Evening Telegraph has the exclusive
use of the news furnished in the afternoon
by the Associated Press to its own mem
bers, the North American, Inquirer,
Ledger,Press, Age and German Democrat,
of this city, and the leading journals of the
East, North, West and South; and hereafter
The Telegraph will be the only evening
paper published in this city in which the
afternoon despatches of the Associated
Press will appear.
RELIGION AND POLITICS,
ktt anirufttAtl nnd ATnitiner debate Rtirnnc an
in Con cress yesterday on a motion to make'l
an appropriation for the support of a Minister
Resident in Rome. This motion was favored
by a large majority of the Democratio mem
bers on Tarious grounds, and it was also ad
vocated by Mr. Banks (Rep.) in a brief
Epeeoh, declaring that "the omission of Rome
would be considered by a portion of the
American people as intentional, and he did
not wish that; besides, one of the great reli
gious convulsions of the icorld icas approaching,
and the United States should have at least a
representative there to furnish accurate re
ports of the great events transpiring there."
The appropriation was opposed and defeated,
. however, by the mass of the Republican
members, and the deep feeling evinced during
the debate makes it not improbable .that
the threatened religious convulsion may
affeot the politics of this country. Mr.
Bingham (Rep.) sounded a key-note which
may be heard this fall on the stump as well
as in Protestant pulpits, when he bitterly
denounced the Papal syllabus. He deolared
that "it is an Umpt to tetter tne treeaom
of conscience. It is an attempt to fetter the
freedom of the press. It is an attempt to
strike down the rising antagonism against
every despotism on the face of the earth, in
the form of representative governments,
foremost among which is America, the child
&ad the hope of the earth's old age;" and he
predicted the destruction of the Papal
power by "the consuming breath of the
enlightened public opinion of the civilized
world, which declares for free governments,
free churches, free schools, free Bibles, and
free men." It is a long time since speeches of
this character were made in Congress, and we
do not wonder that a deep sensation was ex
cited by the indications afforded of the crea
tion of new issues in politics. The Demo
crats were not slow to take up the gauntlet.
The story of the witches burnt in Massachu
setts was duly rehearsed, and sundry refer
eneesjwere made to Enow-Nothingism, which,
however, lost much of their point by the
necessity of an explanation and denial on the
part of Mr. Brooks, now a prominent Demo
oratio member, of a charge made by
John Covode that when he (Covode)
was taking lessons in Know-Nothingism,
Brooks was "the man who edited the
paper to light them on their way" and to act
as their "great head centre." The debate
nally became extremely personal, and it re
quired the most vigorous efforts of the
Speaker to restore orer. Although of com
paratively small importance in itself, it affords
A significant indication of the drift of public
sentiment, and of the tendency of the time
to seek political expression, in some form, of
the deep religious and politico-religious emo
tions which are gradually being aroused.
Theae feelings will be greatly intensified if
any serious effort is made to carry into prac
tice, in this ceuntry, the doctrines enunciated
in the Papal syllabus, which strike at the
root of our whole system of govern
ment. The proposed meeting of the
Evangelical Alliance in the United States,
which will probably give increased emphasis
and unity to Protestantism, may also have a
tendency to increase publie interest in the
issues suggested by Mr. Bingham's speech.
Meanwhile the proceedings of the Presbyte
rian Assembly and the Episcopal Convention
new in session in Philadelphia, although they
have been confined to matters of immediate
praotical importance to the congregations
and diooeses they represent, and although
they have carefully avoided the introduction
of any description of partisan issues, indioate
that these two important branches of Protes
tantism are in full accord with the progressive
spirit of the age, and prepared to offer a
spirited resistance to any eoolesiastioal
attempt to destroy the public-school system
or to undermine the civil and religious liber
ties of the nation. The freedom of religious
faith and modes of worship which is guaran
teed by the Constitution and public opinion
should secure the rights of all sects and all
creeds, but if invidious attempts are to be
PfiSj fltt$'X ? iP'v.Sy, ft raU hii
freedom, it can soarcely be eipeotod that any
of the Churches threatened will remain indif
ferent or idle spectators to suoh a movoment.
TEE MAYORS VETO.
Mayor Fox yesterday vetoed the resolution
of Councils inviting the New York 7th Regi
ment to visit the city of Philadelphia. The
reasons given for this veto are so excellent
that they will commend themselves without
argument to the good sense of our citizens,
and they should have been aocepted as con
clusive by both branches of Councils. Select
Council, indeed, did sustain the Mayor unani
mously, but, strange to say, Common Coun
cil passed the resolution over the veto by a
vote of 35 to 10. The Mayor objected, in
the first place, to a tender of the hospitalities
of the city of Philadelphia without the ap
pointment of any committee of the city
authorities to make suitable provision for the
comfort and entertainment of the regiment
and without any appropriation having been
made to meet the necessary expenses. His
principal objection, however, was that such
an entertainment as was proposed should be
at private cost and not at the expense of the
municipality. The Mayor is clearly and em
phatically right in this, and he is
correct in doubting the propriety of suoh
a precedent. If the 7th Regiment should be
invited here and entertained at the expense
of he city, there would in the future be per
petual demands for the extension of like
courtesies to other military associations,
fire companies, and all manner of organiza
tions, at an annual expense to the tax-payers
of many thousands of dollars. The Miyor
intimates that extraordinary circumstances
may arise when it would be perfectly proper
for the city to make a tender of its hospi
talities to a prominent and popular military
organization like the 7th Regiment, but there
is no occasion whatever at the present time
for us to keep open house, and, in refusing
to approve of this project, the Mayor mani
festly performed his duty, and is entitled to
the thanks of the already over-burdened tax-
r payers.
THE PAVING QUESTION.
In Councils yesterday the question of paving
the streets was discussed in various of its
phases, and considerable time was spent in
arguing upon the relative merits of gravel
and ashes, and the proper size of cobble
stones. This shows that however advanced
our civilization may be in some points, we
are still in a state of barbarism in others,
and no better evidence of a condition ap
proaching to savagery can be produced than
the fact that a renewal of cobble-stone
pavements should be gravely considered in
our municipal legislature. If Councils would
earnestly and honestly endeavor to find out
what is the best and most durable pavement,
without regard to the schemes of jobbers and
speculators, and then pass an ordinance for
bidding the laying of any cobble-stones on
the publio highways, and requiring a good
pavement to be put down whenever the
streets need repairing, they will do a servioe
for which the citizens nf PhiUJaipiiT
be too deeply grateful. A suitable pavement
that would represent in some degree the re
finement of a civilized state of sooiety might
perhaps cost more at first than the cobble
stones, but mere tkan the difference would
be saved in wear and tear and in the safety
and comfort of all the bipeds and quadrupeds
that are obliged to submit to the torture of
the present abominations. We hope that the
members of Council will think it worth while
to give.this subject consideration at an early
day, and endeavor to make the streets of
Philadelphia not altogether disgraceful to a
great and wealthy community.
TEE CROWN OF SPAIN.
The poor Spaniards are still in trouble about
their crewn, which none of the regular pro
fessional princes of Europe, who are always
waiting for any suoh vacancies as may turn
np, seem to be very solioitous about assuming.
The Duke de Montpensier now seems to be
almost the only candidate with royal blood in
his veins, and he belongs to a family that has
been out of business for a good many years,
for the reason that its principal representatives
are not up to the latest Improvements in
the art ef kingship. Montpensier's chances,
however, are apparently not very brilliant just
at the present time, and the public attention
appears to be principally concentrated upon
Serrano and Espartero, who are good
Spaniards, although they do not boast
of royal connections. The cable
despatches from Madrid state that the news
is important but conflicting. It would be
something wonderful if it were anything else
than conflicting, for ever since the consum
mation of the revolution our information
about the prospects for a definite settlement
of the affairs of the Government has been
but little else than vague rumors, and the
latest intelligence is probably entitled to
about as much credence as most that has pre
ceded it. One report states that the Council
of Ministers have determined to confer upon
the Regent Serrano the royal attributes, if no
candidate for the throne can be found within
a reasonably short time, and another informs
us that the crown will be forced upon the
veteran Espartero, whether he will or
not, in default of any other solution of
the question. Another rumor is that
Montpensier has returned to Madrid,
and that his eldest son had a long conference
with the Regent Serrano, which may indicate
that Montpensier is bent upon urging his
claims. After all, it would not be a matter for
surprise if Serrano were to accept the crown,
and if it were to be discovered that he has
been intriguing and managing for this con
summation from the first. Hitherto Serrano
has openly played the part of a pure and dis
interested patriot, but the crown of Spain,
although it has been declined by so many
princes of the blood royal, is still a prize to
tempt ambition, and Berrano's position as
Regent Las given him a taste of power which
may have made him the more anxious to pos
sess the glittering bauble that is now
J going begging. Taking the Regeuts p. m,
ooune as an indication of what he will do In
the future, the Spaniards might indeed go
further and fare worse, but liberal candidates
for thrones too often make the most illiberal
rulers after they have once obtained the object
of their ambition, and in case Serrano is pro
claimed King of Spain we oan only hope that
he will be one of the exceptions to what is
almost a general rule.

particular line of rotina; by (ear of voting with ths De
mocrats. The sentiment of the Senate was SVo to ons in
favor of fixing ths day for tbs Fourth of July, and it was
tirrs for the minority to yiold.
Mr. Draks thought tue Senator's computation as to ths
aeutiinoat of ths senate only showed that his education in
arithmetic was very defective. The votes taaeu did not
shew a majority of more th.n five votes.
A general discussion snsusd upon the denunciatory

Questions
Mr. Tipton characterized it as i nf amously odious and a
a gsms which ths editor of tbs Chronicle Bad been prae.
tieiag ir months past, and especially upon ths Georgia
bill. That paper had charged Republican Senators with
affiliation with Democrats in order to drive them into op
position to the Bingksm amendment, and dared them to
vote for it in ths facs of tbsir oonstituents.
At this point ths morning hour sxpirsd, and ths Fif

Mr. Tipton insisted that harmony within the Republi

Mr. Howard suggested tbe neuesiity of an amendment
to the twelfth aeotion to Serine ths duty of military au
thority when called upon to execute ths law. He thought
the authority to employ military was nsoefisary for Uis-
Sersion ol mobs or assemblages of men bandsd together

whether in suoh a contingency, and whdio
the state authorities refussd to interfere,
the Senator (Mr. Thurman) would prefer to stand
quietly by and allow the outrage to be committed,
rather than employ half a dozen bayonets to dis
perse the re ob.
Mr. Thurman said he would have all, white and
Colored, vote without hindrance, but would never
authorize tbe President to surround the polls with
troops, whether necessity existed or not, as pre
Yld;d la the twelfth section.
The President was to be clot hed with mors than tnso

Mr. Will sms said ths BenatS bill was vague and indafi

Biving rise to endless litigation. Prosecutions against

tbs United State, and induoements were held Out for
tons of thousand! of lawsuits, many of which would have

would lose sight of all the rest ot country, and that ths
legislation would bs ispngnant to ths instinotsof a frea

hoped it would be proceeded with and perfected.
Mr. Stewart thought ths House bill hopelessly de
