THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PFIILADELPIIIA, TUESDAY; OCTOBER 4, 1870. spirit or xnn rnssa. Editorial Opinions of the Leading Journals upon Current Topioi Compiled Every Day for the Evening Telegraph, IS THE WORLD FLAT ? From tht A", r. Tribune. It was Descartes, we think, who recom mended every man occasionally to purge htm elf of all acquired knowledge, and begin at the indiments again. Some of our English scientific neighbors seem disposed to put his maxim to the test, and hare begun appa rently by redacing themselves to the proper condition of idiocy. One would think that Europe might furnish them just now with sufficient subjects for interest or speculation; Imt, on the contrary, they have turned their back on it, and are waging fierce war on the questions of whether the earth is round or Hat, and does the sun move or stand still? A modern Hampden, who is resolved apparently to remain neither "mute nor ignoble," is the leader of the party who are going thus reso lutely back to first principles, and is sup ported by a number of adherents who are, strange as it may seem, possessed of both edu cation and ability. They have distributed their pamphlets and tracts broadcast in this coun try, thinking it worth while to warn ua that we are near the edge of the great plane, and may inadvertently trip over the falling-oft" place. They also offer a reward of 100 to any one who can "prove the rotundity or mo tion of the earth from Scripture, reason, or fact." Vv'e are called upon to render homage to the Church of Home, "which, although she may have erred in her divinity, certairly has nobly rejected the fallacies of spurious science. Nothing can exceed the contemt and derision with which she yet regalls the absurdities and senseless inventions ofa Co pernicus or a Newton" apiece of information which both surprises and pains us, as we had supposed that, however we might differ on divine or doctrinal points with Fio Nono, npon the one fact of the turnip shape of the globe we live on we could sit down with him in perfect accord. This is not the only startling fact, however, enunciated by Mr. Hampden and the profes sors of Queen's College, Cambridge, who are his coadjutors. The sun is proved, "by the outlay only of .Cf," to be but eight hundred miles distant. Being so much nearer than Australia or our own country, we look upon the discovery as especially lucky for England in her present perplexity as to what to do with her paupers. Bat in case communica tion is opened, ought Messrs. Hampden & Co. to be allowed unmolested to plant the flag of St. George on solar soil ? Think of the convenience of it as a penal colony for ourselves. Imagine the Mormons whisked permanently off into the road heretofore only traversed by the old woman tossed up in a blanket, broom in hand ! Imagine us so rid forever of our Tammany ring, of fever hos pitals, fashionable milliners, fleas, folly, and Fisk ! We begin to breathe freer at the thought. Our professors, however, give na additional encouragement. Heaven, with its towers of jasper and shining streets of gold, waits for us immediately below the fiat surfaoe of the earth; and another place, which they do not plainly mention to ears polite, is ready for oar enemies just below that again. "They must be there," gravely decides Mr. Hamp den, "else why are they not seen by the pow erful telescopes used by astronomers?" The stars are mere gaseous, self-luminous bodies; the transit of Venus "one of the most shame less frauds ever foisted on an ignorant publio by the crafty cunning of interested profes sionals." This is too much. We are prepared for fraud in high places, on the bench and on the throne; but when the stars combine to , humbug us we surrender. It is ' rather consoling to read on the next page, that "the measure of the world's wickedness is nearly full.. In a year Europe will be sacked and pillaged, and become one grand conflagration, with the smoke of its torment ascending forever and ever." We are glad of it. When the round globe turns out to be a mere pancake, the celestial worlds mere blobs of phosphorus, and the Evening Star herself, by whom all lovers since Eve have sworn, an "interested professional," humbug and sham have gone far enough. Somebody ought to suffer. Mr. Hampden is right. By all means let Emote scorch for it. THE METHODIST BOOK CONCERN AGAIN. From the A". F. World. The lawsuit for Blander now in progress between Mr. Goodenough -and Dr. Lanahan seems likely to furnish a more authentic, ac curate, and comprehensive account of the irregularities alleged to have occurred in the conduct of the Methodist Book Concern than has Litherto been made publio. The charges which first called attention to this matter "were necessarily vague, and the refusal of the 'committee appointed to investigate the mat ter to do anything more than suppress the matter left it in a condition still more unsat isfactory. It has occasionally cropped out since, in debates not always conducted with creditable temper, at confer ences of the dignitaries of the Methodist communion. But there has always been apparent a lack of specification on the one side, and a desire to hush up the whole transaction and so save scandal oa the other. The answer of the defendant in this slander suit gives us more details than we have hitherto had. If the suit comes to trial, the whole truth will undoubtedly, and for the first time, be elicited. And this is to be de voutly wished, not only on behalf of the great religious body which has a direot and pecuniary interest in the honest and sagacious manaeemeLt 01 tne Aiotnouidt ioou Uoncern, but of the cause of publio morals of which that body is one of the most efficient ecclesi astical suppoits. One cau partly understand the feeling which actuated the miscalled investigating committee in endeavoring to keep the matter from puttie view, ana of tne zealots who es poused their action in the subsequent discus sions, although nothing can justify the easy and indiscriminate absolution granted by the one nor the abusive language' bestowed by the other npon all those who differed with them npon the policy, or the principle, of a real investigation to be followed by the visi tation of real penalties upon those who uncut tuus nave been found to be clean quents. Probably mov.t of the divines who were foremost in the attempt to suppress a publio investigation now perceive that a Car more-grievous scandal has been excited by that attempt than would have followed the publication of all the particulars of the con duct of tbe Book Concern, la the one case. ' the church would have exculpated itself as a body from the frauds, if any there were, practised by its unworthy servants. In the other, the church has ben made to aeem a rartaker of their fault or their crime. The i-lc-ruc?" tLo difference between taa at ude of an avc?ger and of an accomplice. Nevertheless, as we ay, the oourse of ac tion which they preferred to take is intelligi ble. It is a lamentable fact that there are very many persons and presses ready to pounce with obscene greed and glee upon any defection from morality f professed ex pounders of religion. It is natural that ex pounders of religion should ' shrink from the occasion wnicn it might seem to tuem would be afforded 'to such enemies by an official condemnation by the church of its own agents. But it is still trne that such a con demnation, if the agents were unworthy, was the one thing needed to free the church from the stigma brought upon it by the acts of its own agents, and that scoffers at religion, or at that phase of it which the Methodist Church represents, have now an occasion of railing which would have been denied them if the church had itself undertaken and rigidly prosecuted tbe inquest which has now been carried into the court?. It is. natural that men who profess, as churches and their auxiliary ins titutions do, to nave a higher standard of conduct than obtains among their secular neighbors, should be judged by that higher standard. It is upon this ground that the misdeeds of clergymen always excite more notice than those of laymen, although a layman is obvi ously as much bound to righteousness of life as a clergyman, and that the defalcations in the Methodist Book Concern have been more discussed and more denounced than defalca tions in strictly secular corporations of a much more criminal and a much more inju rious character. But those who are pleased to deduce the corruption of the entire Methodist Church from the frauds, if it shall appear upon the approaching trial that frauds Have been committed, in the conduct of the Methodist Book Concern, ought to remember that the disclosure of them is due to worthy, as the commission to unworthy, members of that church. Much more shameful and much more profitable swindles are committed every day in secular public offices and in secular private corporations than have been even charged in the affairs of this ecclesiastical corporation. The difference is that there are not in the secular corporations men of cour age and fidelity enough disinterestedly to expose the swindle, as Dr. lianahan and his coadjutors have done in the case of the Methodist Book Concern. THE ISOLATED POSITION OF FRANCE. From the Ki F. Herald. The result of M. Thiers' mission to the great powers of Europe has ended as we an ticipated. A cold shoulder was held out to him everywhere. The Russian Government, the last one he approached, refused to recog nize him in any official character whatever, and the Czar positively declined to see him. France republican France has no friend among the monarchs and aristocracies of the Old World. They both hate and dread the .republio, and will do all in their power to suppress it and to check the progress of re publican sentiments. The Prussian monarch is their champion, and they could not find a belter representative of absolutism or a greater enemy of republicanism among all the crowned beads. They may fear his power and would like to see Germany kept within safe bounds, probably, so as not to become dangerous to themselves, but they are more afraid of republicanism. Herein we see the cause of M. Thiers' failure to en list the sympathy or aid of Russia, England and Austria in behalf of i ranee. It is very convenient, therefore, for these powers to say there is no government in France that they can recognize. How soon they would recognize the government of any monarchical or imperial usurper ! How ready they would be to do that if another Napoleon or any of the royal pretenders made a coup d'etat and seized the powers of government; yes, though such a government might be erected upon the blood of the French people and against the wish of the nation ! There are examples enorgh of this. There was no such hesitation when Louis Napoleon usurped the imperial authority. No ! It is the republio that the crowned heads will not recognize, and the assertion that there is no government in France is a pretext only. The assertion is not true. The Provisional Government is acknowledged and obeyed from one end of French teriitory to the other. The whole na tion is rising to defend the country under the direction of that Government. It is the only one existing or possible just now. It has all the elements and power of a tie facto govern ment. It sprang legitimately from circum stances and the situation in which France was placed by the defeat and capture of the Em peror and by the flight of the Regency. It was a necessity, and the French people every where are rallying to support it. As to the reports that Bazaine, shut up in Metz, does not recognize any other authority than that of the Emperor, they are very doubtful; but if even he has assumed such a ridiculous position, he has no right to speak for France, and is powerless to determine the form of government. Then, again, the pretended news that is concocted and spread abroad by monarchical agents about the "reds," social disorder, and imperialist proclivitiesin France, in utterly unreliable. On the contrary, we do know that, wit k the exception of a few such men as Cluseret, who have no influence over the mass of the people, the whole population is united in sustaining the de facto Govern, nient in the present terrible struggle. But the republican Provisional Government has been recognized by several nations, and by the United States, wbih is one of thj first powers of the world. The Duke of Argyle, one of the British Ministry, at a Cabinet meeting in London on Friday called attention to this fact. He is reported to have said "the French re pnblio had been formally reoognized by the United States, and that it would be a sort of constructive discourtesy to this country to assume that a Government which exuted suf ficiently, and with a suniient warrant to com mand American recognition, had no satfijient standing in fact to justify England in treating with and through it for so great an object as the settlement of Europe." These autocratio and aristocratic govaru ments of Europe may yet rind that they have made a mistake in attempting to crash the French republic and in making war on the republican ideas of the age. In this "irre- Eressible conflict" which has been stimulated y the wax republicanism has made a bound that defies the power of absolutism. The people of Europe have become too enlightened to be driven back to the state of things that existed in the Middle Ages or even fifty years ego. The quickening and educating power of the modern agents of progress, tbe publio press, the magnetio telegraph, railroads aid other agencies, must prove superior to politi cal and military despotism and to the state craft of monarchs. The world cannot go b tck. Even the King of Prussia finds a powerful de mocratic sentiment rising in Germany, and he has consequently commenced to make war on that while fighting the French, The liberal leaders of Germany, who haa venture i to express their ideas, have been arrested. With all the service King WMiaru has rendered iu cuitirg Germany and devtljping its prvir, he will Lot Le tolerated in mailing wii' u;ijj the liberal end progressive ideas of the age even by the Germans themselves. Public sentimtn1. everywhere is growing strong gainst him for this. It is hardly likely he can set up any other - government in France than that of the republio neither the de funct end fugitive imperial government nor any other but he could help to establish the republican government on a firm basis and obtain reasonable conditions of peace from it. Any other course may place his own throne in immediate danger as well as those of his brother monarchs. The Frenou na tion cannot be extinguished; it begin to show a gTeat deal of vigor and determination and the longer the war continues the more will the sympathy of the masses everywhere where be with the French The role England has taken with regard to France is contemptible. A few of ber lea liny; statesmen, it is true, have advised the recog nition of the republio and friendly interven tion. We have quoted the language of the Duke of Argyle, and we have seen what Sir Henry Bnlwer and others have said on this matter, but the evil influence of the meu in power and the aristocracy has overruled both the views of these statesmen and public senti ment. Intensely selfish in her policy always, England can only be friendly to France when her own interests call for that. And looking at the sinister motives of Russia, which are not intended for the German border, as some of the European correspondents intimate, but for the East, England may yet find it neces sary to moke a friend of the French republic. Complications are thickening every day as the war continues, and, if we mistake not, the longer it lasts the greater chancy there is for republicanism in Europe. The people are too enlightened in this age to submit long to be slaughtered like cattle for the ambitious designs of a few autocrats, reigning families, or unscrupulous statesmen. Peace might serve the monarchies for a time; longer war will, probably, hasten their fall. ROME AND TnE FUTURE OF THE PAPACY. From the X. Y. Times. The Roman Catholic world has had time to pronounce upon the Italian occupation of Rome and its bearing npon the future of their Church. On both sides of the Atlantic the expression of opinion has been wondrously meagre, and we are left under some degree of doubt whether the major section of the Church thinks the end of ttie temporal power an unmixed evil or a blessind in disguise. Regarding the opinion of the Ultramontane wing of Romanism, there can be no room for uncertainty. In common with the Pope him self, they .have consistently maintained that the temporal sovereignty of the See of Rome was a necessity of the most indispensable kind, and they have as consistently banned the Government that dared to lay unholy hands upon the patrimony of St. Peter. In the words of Bishop Lynch, in his recent lecture on this subject, "the temporal sovereignty of the Pope is ex ceedingly important, and I say that it is necessary for him to possess it, both for the liberty and interests of the Church, and for the interests of the world." The reasons by which this conclusion has been supported are numerous and potent enough, once the paint of view of its advocates has been granted. t Outside critics are chiefly con cerned with the fact that it occupies the place of an articlo of faith among a large number of devout Catholics, and that a Pope whose past and present official utterances have lately been pronouncod infallible has declared temporal power to be an essential adjunct to his spiritual functions. To what is at present the ruling section of the Roman Catholic Church, the occupation of Rome by the Italian troops is, therefore, a calamity of the first magnitude. It is difficult to imagine by what doctrinal formula they can reconcile themselves to so apparent a diver gence between the iuspired inmate of the Vatican and the Providence that rules the world. In point of fact they make no effort to explain the anomaly at all, but content themselves by taking refuge in .some such vague aspiration as that of the Bishop of Charleston: "Perhaps Pius IX himself will be restored to that authority he held ten years ago." The men who cling to such straws know, about as well as the rest of the world, that such an event is as impossible as the re constitution of the Roman empire. Ultra montane Catholicism finds itself accordingly burdened with one obsolete dogma more than it had a month ago, and stands facing an intellectual and progressive age, with its face turned more wistfully than ever towards a dead past of superstition and ignorance, which contains all that it regrets, and all that it wishes to Bee restored. The Pope has, it appears, been offered that smaller section of Rome which lies on the r'ght bank of the Tiber, and which includes the Vatican, St. Peter's, and the Castle of St. Angelo. Over this section, known as the Leonine City, he may be permitted to exercise a sort of nominal sovereignty, or at least may ex ercise ' such rights as are not incompatible with those of the actual Government estab lished at the capital. That this shadow of independence will be sufficient to reoonoile the Sovereign Pontiff, and those who share his prepossessiona, to the loss of the States of the Church, is, of course, not to be expected. That it will be sufficient to induce him to remain in Rome even is doubtful. Bishop Lynch exhibits a wondeful amount of solici tude lest the Government under which the Pope may choose to reside should turn the immense power of its august subject to improper uses. The reverend lecturer did not condescend to say in what man ner the ecclesiastical thunderbolt forged at the Vatican could become of the slightest nse to any one save the owner. The power of cursing volubly in monastic, not to say canine, Latin is, one would ima gine, not likely to be a very powerful agent in these days of blood and iron. Unsub stantial as the danger is, however, it is one which will haunt the consciences of the faith ful, and nntil they can readjust medieval fancies by the light of modern facts, it will remain a permanent thorn in the side of a large proportion of the faithful. Powerful as nltramontanism is in the hier archy, it is exceedingly questionable whether it includes the majority of the Roman Catho lic laity, I ate discussions over the infallibil ity dogma have revealed the fact that there is a powerful and resolute element of liberalism in the Church, whose clerical champions are numerous enough to prove the existence of a lay following of formidable dimensions. One of the first articles of belief among these is the necessity of vindicating the prerogatives of the Episcopate against the steady en croachments of the-Papal chair. Anything which tends to diminish the prestige and dis credit the foreMht of the Pontiff mast ob viously tend to strengthen the hands of the liberal section of his spiritual subjects. A certain halo of persecution might be thrown round the head of the Church, were be boldly to relinquish every symbol of temporal uiuity fcd tLiow biaife'f s'a-iy on the alii iuute of the Catholic woilJ. Ksithsr tlia present Tope nor his advisers have, however, shown any capacity for inaugurating any such stroke of genius. The probability is, there fore, that the loss of the temporal power will only render more sharply-defined the growing divisions within the Church. It will intensify the regrets and deepen the conservatism of the paity that looks to the past, just as it will strengthen the purpose of the Dirty which ac cepts both tbe intellectual and political pre sent, and looks towards progressive develop ment in the future.
