THE NF.iY 1M-1Z AND l-UTrilE OP THE
KOM.YN C.VillOLltJ UUUilCII.
From the A. llei c.Ut.
At this momentthe turning point of p.u
age eventful hej'ouil all cootpaiisoii in bygone
Listory the gaze of civil lze'.l maukiml is
fixed on Homo with peculiar interest. The
call for an (Ecumenical Council of ti i Church
reputed Apostolic and universal was of itsolf
a great awakening to the world. To the
faithful and earnest a luoronts of Catholicity
it was a summons tht neonieI inspired in
the midst of accumulating disorders; the
breaking down of nil restraints; the abroga
tion of old tenets; the setting up of self and
the higher law, so called, in the plaue of the
one Supremo Father, whose precepts had be
come the basis and the rallying point of
order in barbaric times and the bul.var
it '
against destructive license and vice
in the days of a corrupt and unbelieving
civilization. To the opponents of Ko.nau
ism, per se, on tho other hand, this call wa3
deemed a llagrant challenge thrown down to
"tho spirit of our time"' aud a defiance of tho
work achieved by religious and political pro
gress. These two opinions divided Christen
dom while the Council was Bitting, and they
divide it still. But in the meanwhile, through
all the jarring aud cavilling of authorities,
the Church itself is evidently vmdorg oing a
wonderful and salutary transformation, or,
rather, is sloughing off the excrescences
which tho ambition of prelates and priuces
find the exigencies of peculiar times and re
gions had fastened on it. This process is
grand to contemplate in tho light of a history
so picturesque aud so majestic as that of the
Uoman Church.
In order to p.ppreciate tho change let ns
cast our thought backward for an instant to
tho period when Christianity began to take
hhape and emerge from tho alluring but de
ceptive mirage of pagan mythology and the
imposing but unsatisfactory rites of ancient
Judaism. "Voice of the East, voice of the
West, voice of the four winds, woo to the
Temple ! woe to Jerusalem!"' was the terrible
wurningjory of him who was known as "Jesus,
Hon of Ananias, " who, as Josephus tells us,
Biiddenly uplifted his voics amid the city in
tho hour of profouudest peace, aud coased
not by night or by day until the whole Jewish
people had heard of Lis coming, and his pro
phecy. But as Jesus, the Christian ilansiah,
had been rejected, so was this Jesus, the pro
phet of ruin, despised by a headstrong
people. Yet tho sack of the ancient city by
the Komau Titus came, aud the ideas of the
Christian faith caught np amid the
lire and carnage of tho Jewish capi
tal clung to the skirts of the cou
iuerers and were transferred with them to
Eonie. But in the meanwhile, as we learn
from sacred tradition, St. Thomas bore the
Gospel of Jesus to the farthest Ind; St. John
preached it and exemplified it in Asia Minor;
St. Andrew mado it a revelation of a higher
life to the rude Scythian hordes; St. Philip
spread it abroad over tho Asiatic Continent;
St. Bartholomew established it in Armenia;
St. Matthew disclosed it to benighted Persia;
St. Simon made it tho new and saving light
of Mesopotamia, and St. Luke with it refuted
the legends and the imaginative hoogony of
Arabia. Thus was a grand, a Glorious mes
sage mado known by inspired and divoted
men to a Buttering world. The heart of
humanity leaped up to hail a dawn so benig
nant, and, in spno of all trials aud perse
cutions, the faith nourished and grew on all
Bides. The terrible persecutions which, be
ginning with Nero at liome, were continued
under Domitian and his ferocious successors,
tmt seemed to give strength, vitality, and
fixed stability to nascent belief so full of na
tive strength, as tho storm wind but imparts
vigor to the oak whose roots are deep in the
soil, even while it sweeps away the feebler
children of the forest and scatters them dying
in its path. And why was this? Because,
to continue our simile, the roots of the Chris .
tian creed descendod deeply into the hearts
of men. The simple virtues of it3 early fol
lowers, the purity and lofty life of its apos
ties and its udvocates; their divine eloquence;
their inspired erudition; their indefatigable
toil; their fearlessness in the presence of
chains and death, and the sublime promises
they uttered from the gibbet and the stake
to the humblest and weakest who believed,
were a power which t overawed tho purple
tyrants of the world and announced Christ
and Him crucified as indeed the "very pre
sent help" and Saviour of the stricken
people. Vivified by the warmth of a'
zeal that had been kindled by the lamps
of the sepulchre, and viviliod by the blood
shed in so many massacres, at last, in A.
D. o(;5, the new Church, ho sorely beset
by Julian the Apostate, found a iioman
emperor to thoroughly protect it. Jovian,
who Lad braved the wrath of Julian, heard
his own troops exclaim, "Fear not, Emperor;
you command a Christian army. Tha most
aged amoDg us were instructed by the groat
Constantino, and the rest by his son." The
cross which had appeared but as a vision of
victorious omen in the sky became a fixed
emblem in the most poweiful and civilized of
cities, and hurried on from conquest to con
iuest until it rose resplendent upon church
spires in half the world. At last the iEjuiuo
nical Council, held at Constantinople A. D.
ysi, in the reign of Theodosius, and aucapted
by the West, proclaimed and fixed the maia
dogmas of the Church, and it became a posi
tive power on earth. But even with this
access of spiritual dominion begun tho usual
corruptions and troubles thit beset things
human even while they strivingly aspiro to
God. The Aiian, Macedonian, Pelagian,
Kestorian, and Eutychian heresies and the
schism of the Donatists rapidly suc
ceeded each other. There were
divided counsels: Popes aud anti-Popes;
prelates who lost themselves in tho
ambition of the prince, aud princes who
claimed to be prelates without the unction
and the call. Formulas and ceremonies be
gan to overcrust and eclipse tho simple, para,
sweet teachings of the Sermon on the M o iut,
and gorgeous fanes and royal pomp supar
seded the plain remembrance of the Last
Supper and the homely words of the morning
and evening walks by the Bacred shore of
Galilee. Conversions were ubuudaut indeed,
and, to use the same phrases which St. Paul
himself, quoting from the Psaluiut, applied
to the apostles, "'Their voice was heard over
all the earth, and their word was carried to
the extremeties of the world." Every conti
nent and island hailed the crone". From Ice
land to the Corea tho matin and (he vesper
bell of Catholic worship directed the thoughts
of toiliDg men to Gedj but. fllatjj the
waters oi

had been perturbed by hasty and misguided
hands. Although the doctrine which was
Christ himself remained sound, unmoved, and
Btrong, tho moss and the lichens of couturios
gathered on the rock of St. Peter's. Tho an
cient Church was loo often ma lo to seem the
ally of oppressive kings and a stumbling
block in the way of scientific and political
progress.
But, at last, after the long tribulations of
the Dark and Middle Ages, a fresh light
begins to dawn upon the Catholic mission
and upon humanity. As pious aud imagina
tive dwellers by tho Khiue boliove that Charle
magne is yet to arise from his tomb, and by
the sign of tho crucifix upon the hilt of the
sword of old renown restore a united Chris
tian empire over all tho west, so do many
who are earnest find sincere believe that th"y
behold in tho events just occurring in Eiropo
tho resuscitation of tho grand Church Uni
versal in moro than its pristine beauty. And
the aspect of the hour fully warrants
this impression. The unity, the porsevd:
nneo, tho combined intelligence) of every
part in the grand total which is called tho
Catholic body, and which now controls one
hundred and fifty millions of our race, are
telling rapidly upon tho endless divisions
of religious opinion that constitute
tho unwieldy bulk of Protestantism even
in its safest strongholds. Tho lioman Catho
lic system, which is a sort of imperial repub
lic to employ a seeming but uot a real para
dox has thrown aside the hampering weight
of middle-ago incumbrances, aud now ad
vances into the full blaze of all the intellec
tual illumination of our time, adopting what
is useful and rejecting what is dangerous in
modern ideas, retaining tho sanctity of home,
of parental authority, of the marriage tie and
of the duty of the subject, and denouncing
and rejecting all "higher law" that is not of
Christ. In tho presence of such a rival, armed
at all points, and claiming to bo hallowed by
long tradition and precept alike directly
flowing from Ziou and from Calvary, the
Protestant body has no certuin triumph but
in restored purity of doctrine, a revived
forco in upholding the sacra meats of God,
and a redoubled and unsparing zeal in
good works. If it will not discharge
its task faithfully and completely, be
hold One approaching whose foot
are "beautiful upon tho mountains," as tiio
bearer of good tidings to all the earth. TI19
harvest is ripe in tho fields and tho reapers
are abroad. America, the laud of youth, of
hope, of faith, of prophecy, of atonement
end rehabilitation, stirs in all her borders
with the impending second birth of what
shall become the true Church of Irammnel.
As liberty, betrayed and lost in Europe, re
vived again upon these favored shores, to
travail, tor a time, indeed, but to conquer ut
last, and to conquer for all nations, souio of
whose children are gathered here as pledges
and hostages for them, so may the purified
Church of Christ, whose spires begin to up
hold the sign of safety upon every hilltop in
our land, rise higher to the light with us,
and, chastened by tho past, endow its future
with a full fruition of God's grace to man,
and "broaden and brighten unto parfect
day!"
FOR SALE.
From the Vcavcr Jladical.
Tho Dcmocratio vote in tho next Legisla
ture is up at auction. The best bidder can
take it in a lump with all its paraphernalia
left over from tho last tureo disastrous cam
paigns. Democratic legislators are just no, v
being sent for to llarrisburg and boing co!lled
together for delivery when tho grand sale is
effected. Hon. Samuel Josephs will play
auctioneer, and his gentlomanly clerk, Mr.
AVallaco, will deliver tho live goods to the cus
tomers after the most approved fashion of the
slave marts! "Going, going, gone," are a'l
of you Messrs. Buck-Hew, aud Purmau, and
Broadhead, aud Dill, and fifty others who,
like you, believe that they are honest men
and free agents in tho Legislature, and your
infamy is blazoned to the paople of the State
two months in advance of its consummation,
by Mr. Wallace's organ.
In plain English, the proposition is to de
liver the organization of tho Legislature and
the keys of tho State Troasury into the hands
of a sufficient number of bolting llepubli
cans, who, in turn, are to pass a Democratic
apportionment bill. "When such accursed
contracts were made last winter, it was in tho
privacy of Wallace's chamber, and in the
darkness of midnight. That in the present
emergency the plot should bo paradod pub
licly in the broad noon indicates that
Messrs. Josephs and Wallace are very
bold in the belief of success already
assured, or are become very desporato,
There are several ditli julties in the way of
this bargain and sale, which must be gotten
rid of before the hammer of Josephs can fall.
There may be a lack of bidders. In our judg
ment there is but one Kepublicau candidate
for Treasurer in Pennsylvania base enough
to sign tho compact, and tho lato election has
left him effectually hors tie combat, and
screaming with the anguish of his wounds.
And if another bidder could be found, it is
safe to say that ho will have trouble in find
ing Lis share of the merchandise in the He
publican ranks. Should Mr. Mickey be a
candidate and fail in securing a caucus nomi
nation, his friends will vote solidly for his
successful competitor, whomsoever he may
be. Of the gentlemen vho last year were de
ceived into bolting the Kepublicau nomina
tion, scarcely more than ono or two will rc-
peut the experiment, especially when warned
in advance that their cuirso is to surrender
Pennsylvania to the Democracy for ten years
to come.
And the Democratic party will approach
the coalition this year with suspicion. Last
ytar tho contract of tho leaders of the bolt
was to surrender the seats of Scull nud Watt
and defeat tho Metropolitan Polhe bill.
They got the Treasury, and what was the re
sult ? Finley receivod his seat from causes
which they could not control. The Metro
politan Polico bill passed aud the scattered
forces of tho Democracy were compelled to
rally on Geary to secure its defeat. Watt
holds his seat to-day aud makes tho Senate
Kepublicau. And when these strange results
came to be investigated, it was found that the
high contracting parties on the side of the bolt
had made an unauthorized use of the names of
their bankers in the Legislature, and, further
more, that they had made no special effort to
deliver the goods which they had actually in
possession. And, worst of all, it was discov
ered that some of the most active of the
Democratic managers in the Legislature, win
were clamorous in their appeals to ptrty
spirit, aud touching in their devotion to Dia
mond, had their pockets stuffed with good
hard cash in sums of from $:tt)0i) to l'h):
each, as the price of their action, and hat
their party spirit and affection for Diamonl
sensibly waned after the Treasurer
was elected. And it was also whisparel
about the Capitol at the close of the session
that of thouj who were not bought many
were Bold, and the cash paid for their votes.
It is just possible that many Democrats will
fvil to perceive the distinction between
t"" IxoupLt wjtb an apportionment and
being bought with money, and that others
will look upon the proposod political contrac t
as a blind, under cover of which the cor
ruptions of last winter will be repeated by
their mercenary leaders, while their party,
as then, will take nothing by the motion.
We hazard little in saying that tho nomi
nees of the Republican caucus for all of its
offices will be elected, whomsoever they may
be. So far as tbe office of Treasurer is con
cerned, it is of trifling weight compared with
tho necessity of maintaining the unity and in
tegrity of our organization. If any Kepub
licau can be found base enough to bid at the
Democratic auction, and Republican legis
lators can bo found corrupt enough to follow
in his lead, tho villainy should be dofeated at
all hazards. Tho election of an honest and
reputable Democrat would bo infinitely loss
hurtful to the Republican party than a repeti
tion of the successful treason of one of its
own members. In this dilomma it should let
go the purse aud put forward tho sword
btaier. THE FUTURE OF GERMANY.
From the. X. 1 7'imcH.
The reported armistice enables us to assume
that a few weeks will, in all probability, ter
minate the terrible war between Franco and
Germany, place Prussia at the head of the
German Confederation, and establish her as
tho leading power of Europe. So rapidly
has history been creating itself that our
readers can hardly yet realize to themselves
the astounding political changes which have
been taking place during the past summer
and in the last few years. Four years ago
the long-continued struggle for supremacy
between Austria and Prussia came to an issue
in the war of lStiC. On tho iMst and L'-'d of
June of that year, the two Prussian armies
of Silesia and Saxony crossed the frontiers of
Bohemia, much as this summer they passed
the boundaries of France, under tho same
Princes, and guided by tho same subtle brain.
In precisely ouo month th6v camped before
Vienna and Presburg, with tho ancient empire
of Austria at their feet, while another army
Lhd forced tho Hanoverian troops to capitu
late, Lad beaten successively the army of the
Confederation and the Bavarian corps, aud
udvanced to the heart of Bavaria. In lesi
than a month Prussia Lad put five hundred
thousand men on a war-footing, and had
swept over Germany f-oui the Rhine to Hun-
Gary
Vet in that year Prussia wa3 only tho fifth
of the great powers, with less than half the
population of either France or Austria, and
only a quarter of that of Russia. Her reve
nues were not a quarter those of Frauce, and
oven the new kiugdom of Italy contained
more lnlmuilants, and boasted double the in
come. She came out of the six weeks' cam
paign with thirty millions of inhabitants, and
substantially holding all Germany from the
Baltic to the Main. In tho present summer,
in one month from the time her two Princos
had their armies over the French frontier,
she Lad broken the military empire of Napo
leon, and Leld the Emperor prisoner; and in
less than two months Lad taken the two
strongest fortresses of Frauce, captured some
three hundred thousand prisoners and an im
mense amount of war material, and invested
the capital of her enemy's country. Probably
less thun another month's time will see her
retiring victorious from shattered and broken
France. Such campaigns as these were before
unknown to modern history, for even Napo
leon's wondeiful campaign of Jena, ending in
the prostration of the Prussian kiugdom, was
child's play compared with tho prodigious
forces managed and exerted in this war. A
nation which has developed such enormous
and well-directed energy as this is, of course,
only the beginning in a graud and long-continued
career of progress.
The question will continually occur to for
eign observers, "What is to be the issue of
all this? What sort of power is this nation,
so suddenly arrived at the height of great
ness, to become iu relation to modern Eu
rope?" Henceforth, in all probability, Prus
sia is to bo absorbed in a grand confederated
Germany. But what stamp will the leading
member have on the new uniou, in which it
sinks its own personality? Prussia itself is
composod, as every well-constituted State
should be, of the most opposite elements. In
her educational system she is domocratio
and iu tho front rank of modern advance.
Every citizen not only has the privilege of
acquiring knowledge, but must accept it,
whether he will or no. Iguoranee in
Prussia is held as the one irreconcilable
enemy to the State. Military service, too, is
democratic in form that is, it is the duty
of every citizen, from which neither high
birth nor wealth can excuse him, the only
exemption fin time of service) being gained
by education. Then the new popular repre
sentation in tho Parliament of the Confede
ration is exceedingly complete and widely
extended, ro that even tho laboring classes,
in the last Diet, were represented by their
own delegates. To a certain extent the civil
faervice is also democratic, inasmuch as it is
open to competitive examinations, though
here the various features of Prussian social
life Lave sc me influence. West of Prussia,
also, the RhiLe Provinces and the now acqui
sitions, Hanovor 1 nd llesse-Cassel, are demo
cratic in their social organization, the soil
being divided into mauy small ownerships,
and the people being liberal in their political
views.
On the other hand, the old military and
feudal element, on which the Counts of LSran
denbnrg built up a kingdom, is strongly rep
resented in Eastern Prussia. Here tho suii is
divided into large es'u'es, and held by the
country gentry, who possess an unbounded
infiuence over their tenantry. Here is the
most extravagant loyalty and bigoted "Prus
siaLism." The bureaucracy or orfice-holders
are largely intule up of representatives of
Prussian "Junkers," or tho younger sons of
noble families. The army, too, from its local
organization, is frequently officered by the
resident country gentry. And as a climax
to the monarchical aud conservative ele
ments of the State, the royal family have
proved themselves, by ecouomy of govern
ment, military genius, and their readiness for
peisonal sacrifices Jtrtie 4 kings tf men," and
worthy to command a brave people who
resptct and love thorn. It would need a
Generation of royal idlers and do-nothinas to
j wipe out from Prussian memories the reool
i lection of what the Iloheuzollorus Lavo
frisked and accomplisLed tor Prussia and
Germany during the last four years. To add
to all these complex elements in the Prus
sian State is the learned class, which Las so
treat an influence over tLe young mind of
tbe nation, an infiuence at once liberal and
conservative. To predict the effect of all
these various forces upon the constitution of
the future united Germany would be a rash
undertaking. The influence of Baden and
South Germany will undoubtedly be liberal,
and united with tbe liberal elements of
Western Prussia and the university towns,
we may Lope, not for a necessarily demo
cratic progress, but for wbat is far better, a
steady rational advance of all Germany in
the paths of constitutional liberty.
ENFORCING THE LAW.
From the A". V. IVifcutK.
The resistance of tho Democratic press to
the President's precautions against riot on
election day began with bluster and threat,
and sank, through tho various stages of de
nunciation, auger, indignant remonstrance,
and expostulation, to a sort of argumentative
opposition which differs but slightly from en
treaty. To all these manifestations of Demo
cratic temper, General Grant Las remained
calmly indifferent; ho knows his duty; he will
do it fearlessly; and thanks to his firmness we
shall have an honest election, and there will
be no disorder. Tho wild nonnense of dema
gogues about Federal soldiers "coercing"
voters, and liayouets intimidating the Demo
cratic host, deceives nobody. Not a nun in
New York supposes that a soldier will iutor
fero with Lis voting exactly as Lo pleases.
Not a man believes that if the whole United
States army were brought into the city the
legal vote would be affected in any way what
ever. In the fact that a sufficient force to
preserve order is held within call, to be used
in case of need, nobody has reason for chagrin
who does not purpose committing some ciimo.
Wo hold that President Grant would Lave
failed in Lis duty if Le Lad not takon amplo
precautions to put down any disturbance
which bad men might create on the day of
election. The frauds at tho polls in New
York had for years been so notorious that
Congress was at last driven to pass a strin
gent law for their prevention, nud tho Presi
dent was charged with tho enforcement of it.
When the ring which had hitherto supportod
itself by fraud saw how this law would inter
fere with their crimes, they expressed in tho
most violent language a determination to
resist it. The Wtiill, tho Ejpra, aud
other organs of the Tammany party nov
deny that there was ever the slightest proba
bility of any resistance except "through tho
legitimate and satisfactory channel of tho
ballot-box." But a week or two ago their
tone was very different. They havo pro-"
fessed peace only since it became evident
that the President was unmoved by threats,
and that respectable citizens of all par
tics were horrified at their menaces to riot.
On the Mh of October the World announced
that tho appointment of deputy marshals was
equivalent to the inauguration of a reign of
terror, and urged freemen to consider what,
in the face of such ah emergency, they were
"willing to do and dare." The new election
law, it furthermore said, was "calculated to
create a riot," and provoke the people "to go
to the polls with arms in their hands." At a
Democratic meeting in this city on thel lth
of October, a speaker named Wolff U3od those
words: "Now, fellow-citizens, arguments
havo failed in this country, and if you dasire
your liberties, if you desire free ballot-boxes,
if you desire to perpetuate those institutions
for the benefit of your children, sity stand
by your anna" On the L'tlth of October the
Hon. James Brooks said in a public speoch:
"If tho Federal Government attempts to en
force the elections, as they Lavo in South
Carolina, one hundred thousand Democrats
in this city will rise in opposition and pitch
all the troops they havo ordered here into the
river."
In these and similar utterances of Demo
cratic editors and orators there is evidence
of a deliberate purpose to instigate disordor,
and it was only when that purpose was de
feated by the firm attitude of the Govern
ment that they changed their tone. They
have since made frantic efforts in other ways
to counteract the law. They have threatened
marshals and supervisors with the direst
penalties; they have warned Federal officials
to beware of the wrath of Barnard and Car
dozo; they have offered bribes by the hun
dred thousand dollars to secure a lax enforce
ment of the law; they have solemnly an
nounced their "inflexible determination to
havo the law declared unconstitutional," and
to punish with all possible severity every
one concerned in its execution. But threats
of violence at tho polls, bribery, and persecu
tion by a corrupt judiciary have alike proved
harmless. For once Tammany must submit
to an honest election.
