"JUNIUS'' IDENTIFIED. From the N. Y. Timei. Bo many important questions constantly Brine the solution of which depends on the identification of handwriting, that anything throwing freRh light on the subject has posi tive value. The title to property is often at issue on such points, and the identification of literary remains frequently depends upon a scientific analysis of which very few are capable. There are, to be sure, a great many persons employed in banks or in lithography who are commonly styled "experts." and who are popularly esteemed trustworthy authority in chirographic matters. But the degree in which their opinions can be de pended upon is usually overrated. Mr. TwiRtleton, who has given deeper attention to the matter than any literary man who ever wrote upon it, says that the auniber of real "experts" in London during the last fifty years has been very few; and that limiting the application of the term to persons whose skill is recognized and de ferred to in the highest courts of justice there are now only two "experts" in that tity, namely, Mr. Chabot and Mr. Nether clift. The former gentleman, at the in stance of Mr. TwistletoD, lately made an elaborate investigation of the handwriting of the famous "Junius," with the result, for mally assented to in a long and thoughtful article in the April Quarterly Review, of establishing the identity of "Junius" with Sir Thilip Francis. Some of the steps of the demonstration are so curious as to make it desirable to recite them. The letters of "Junius" began in the Public Adoertixer, Ja nuary 21, 1 "('.). Tkey have beon ascribed, with more or less plausibility, to no fewer than fifteen persons; but the bulk of intelligent opinion has always inclined to Francis. Still, this has only remained highly-probable sur mise. Positive proof has been lacking, And it has seemed that the celebrated boast of "Junius" that he was the sole depository of his own secret, and that it should perish with him was destined to be literally verified. A conspicuous link in the chain of proof that, in the judgment of Mr. Twistleton and the Quarterly Review, explodes this anticipation, we will briefly set forth. Just one hundred years ago, that is to Bay, in 1770, or 1771, Sir Philip, then Mr. Francis, was on a visit to his fatker at Bath. At the Assembly Booms in that then highly fashion able city he danced on more than one even ing with a Miss Giles, a brilliant young lady, whose father was afterward Governor of the Bank of England. It was the custom at balls at that time for a lady to keep the same partner for the whole evening; and so it fell out with this pair. Subsequently Miss Giles re ceived an anonymous note, inclosing some complimentary verses. The note was in one handwriting, the verses in another. Both still exist, and have been in the hands of Mr. Twistleton, Mr. Chabot, and Mr. Netherclift. Now it is declared by all three to be absolutely certain that the Anonymous Note is in the handwriting of "Junius." This being so, and as Franois had evidently sent it, it was at first taken for granted that the Anonymous Verses were in the natural handwriting of Francis. The most singular and interesting part of the story follows. Mr. Chabot, after deep study, came to the conviotion, not' only that Francis ceuld not have written the verses, but that the two the verses and the note could not possibly have been written by the same hand. This conclusion was opposed to the views of Mr. Chabot's employer; and, as the Quarterly says, the case which the ex pert had been called in to support seemed to have broken down in consequence of his evidence. The intrinsic value of that evi dence, and certainly the independence with which it was given, may therefore in some measure be inferred. Mr. Twistleton as sented to the professional opinion we may suppose with some reluctance. Yet it led him to a fortunate trail. The question was, If Francis did not write the verses, who did? A life of Franois had just been published, and mention was found in it that his cousin and familiar associate, Mr. lUchard Tilghman, was with him in Bath at the time the note was sent to Miss Giles. It struck Mr. Twistleton that Francis might have got his cousin to act as an amanuensis. Now, in the Letter Book of Francis there ae, happily, six letters ad dressed to Francis by Tilghman. These, with the verses, were now submitted to Mr. Chabot; and he soon gave in his unhesitating conviction that the verses were in Tilghman'a handwriting. This is pointed out to be quite characteristic of Francis. He would never put his own natural handwriting side by side with that of "Junius." Addressing Miss Giles in a disguised band, he naturally adopted the style which he had been so freely using; and as naturally got his cousin, who probably sever saw the note, to copy the verses. This hypothesis is farther sustained by the fact that lilguman, who was a native of Philadel phia, and wrote from that city, refers to the verses in one of his letters, and, indeed, quotes a couplet from them. This intertstiDg circumstaLcos is but one of a number of remarkable corroborations, arrived at with vast labor and research, that are held to establish beyond all donbt the identity of "Junius with air Philip Francis. The Quarterly congratulates Mr. Twistleton on having produced a book which "settles once for all the loner-disputed controversy re- ' epoetin g the authorship of the Junian letters," and which is, moreover, "the only work whioh has yet appeared in the English lan guage conveying systematic instruction on l he comparison of haad writings." Every imaginable adverse theory is suc cessively taken np and disposed of, and cer tainly the demonstration, even as conveyed in the comdensed statements of tUo Quarterly, appears to be complete. It hardly needs to be pointed out that the result of this laborious investigation, interesting and important as it is, does not constitute the sole value of th report of it. The successive steDS of th inquiry, and the proofs whereby each Dosi. tion has been fortified, will be of immense service henceforth to the antiquary and the lawyer. Like many otner patient and inde fatigable scientific processes, whioh, to the superficial eye, have only abstract or specula tive significance, this inquiry will furnish valuable material fox innumerable practical purposes in the futare. GENERAL GRANT'S KU-KLUX PRO CLAMATION. M-mm tht V. T. WtrhL This insolent, obtrusive manifesto shows that Kaiser Ulysses is so puffed np with a sense of his despotio authority that he can not await an occasion for its exercise. He brandishes it in the face of the country, as an Indian chief setting out in quest of vic tims swiigs Lia tomahawk in the air and nils the forest with his whooping yells In gloat ing anticipation of future opportunities. General Grant is forward to tell the oountry that the Ku-klux bill "applies to all parts of the United States, and will be enforood everywhere te the extent of the powers vested in the Executive." Why should he thus bully and threaten the whole country without the slightest pretext or provocation? General Grant declares that he "will not hesitate to exhaust the power thus vested in the Executive." Which means that he will go just as far as the Ku klux bill will let him, stretching and strain ing the law to the utmost limit. And what is the authority which this upstart tyrant threatens to "exhaust?" It is authority to Bhut up the courts f justice, supersede the laws, make war upon citizens, suspend the habeas corpus, proclaim martial law, and put every man's life and liberty at the mercy of his arbitrary will. These are the powers which this modest President claims that he possesses "in all parts of the United States," and which he threatens to "exhaust ' if he can find occasion. He is not content to let the sword rest in its scabbard until a neces sity arises for its use; he makes haste to draw and flourish it in the eyes of unoffending citizens in sheer insolence and menace. He is perhaps incensed by General Sher man's emphatic statement, in his speech at New Orleans the other day, that the Ku-klux bill is needless and foolish. But whether the proclamation is a mere counterblast to Gene ral bherman, or is an unprovoked and self- prompted menace, it is such a document as none of General Grant's predecessors would have given to the public. No President who respected republican in stitutions could show such alacrity in threat ening the whole country that he meant to "exhaust the temporary power to suspend the habeas corpus if he could get an oppor tunity. The fact that Congress trusts him with this power only till the end of its next sessioo, is a confession that the power is ex traordinary and unsafe; that it is fit to be exercised only in a great emergency; that it is like the reserve of an army which is kept back and never ordered to take part in an engagement till the troops in front begin to waver. But General Grant, instead of regarding these extraordinary powers as a reserve, to be used only as a last resource, thrusts them forward while as yet no enemy has appeared. Instead of using them as a final resort to supplement and sup- pert the ordinary execution of the laws, he makes indecent haste to parade them when as yet he can point to no fact since the passage of the Ku-klux bill which requires him to set in motion even the ordinary judicial machinery. The bill is bad enough at best, but General Grant attempts to exe cute it wrong end foremost. The proper order of proceeding is, first, to wait till a case arises under the law; then to instruct the District Attorney of the looality to prosecute the offenders in the appropriate court: thirdly, to see that the Marshal executes the sentence of the court if the parties are found gmilty; and finally, if the Marshal is resisted by a combination too powerful for him and his posse to withstand, to make the procla mation required by law and support the Mar shal by troops. But General Grant reverses this legal order of procedure. He is so im patient to exereise arbitrary power that he issues a proclamation before any offense is oomrmtted of whicn the Government can take cognizance under the new law. As the Constitution prohibits ex post facta laws, the Ku-klux bill cannot apply to acts committed previous te its passage; and Binoo its passage nothing has been done even to justify a warrant of arrest or an indictment by a grand jury. The proclamation is an im pertinence, because it has no faets te go upon; and instead of applying to any State or dis trict in rebellion it is brandished as a threat in the face of the whole peoplt. of the United States. To threaten the peaceful citizens of thirty-seven States, guilty of no crime, with martial law and a suspension of that sacred guarantee of personal liberty, the writ of habeas corpus, is a gratuitous and wanton insult which a loyal, law-abiding President would never oner. It may sometimes be necessary in desperate cases to administer nauseous medicines; but that is no reason why a physician should hold assafcetida under the nose of every well man he meets. All that the Ku-klux bill says about proclama tions is in its fourth section, which we here 'section 4.;rnat wnenever in any state, or part or a State, the unlawful combinations named lu the prtri ediug section of this act shall be organized and armed, and go numerous and powerful as to be able, by violence, to either overthrow or set at defiance the constituted authorities of such State, and of the United btates within sucn Mate, or when the consti tuted authorities are lu complicity with, or shall connive at, the unlawful purposes or such powerful and armed combinations; and whenever, by reason of cither or all of the causes aforesaid, the con vic- tlen of such otlenders and the preservation of the puttlic safety snail become in such district imprac ticable, in ever; sucn case sucn commnations shall be deemed a rebellion against the Government of the United States, and during the continuance of such rebellion, and within the limits of the district which shall e so under the sway thereof, such limits to be prescribed by proclamation. It shall be lawful for the President of the United States, when In lils judgment the public safety shall require It, ta suspend the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus, to the end that such rebellion maybe overthrown: Provided, that all the provisions of the second sec tion of an act entitled "An act relating to habeas corpus, aud regulating judicial proceedings in cer tain cases," approved March 3, ls6S, which relate to the discharge ef prisoners other than prisoners of war, and to the penalty for refusing to obey the ordsr of the court, shall be In full force so far us the same are applicable to the provisions or this sec tion: Provided, further.that the Prestpent shall nrst have mad proclamation, as now provided by law, commanding such Insurgents to disoerse: And Dro- vided, also, that the provisions or this section shall not be la force after the end of the next regular Now, be it observed, that the timinsr of a proclamation by the President, the area or district to which it must relate, and the gene ral tenor of its substance, are all defined by law, and that General Grant's proclamation conforms to none of the requirements either of time, place, or matter. The time pre served ior me issuance oi a proclamation is after the ordinary machinery of iustiee has failed; the area included in the proclamation must be limited to some State or portion of a State; the prescribed matter and substance of the proclamation is first to define the bounda ries of the district within which the laws are successfully resisted, and secondly to warn the illegal combinations to disperse within a civen time, uut ueneral Grant s Droclam tion is in advance of any resistance to judicial process; it relates to the whole country, and not to any particular insurgent district; and it uoes not warn me iieoeig to disperse, be cause none have assembled.

ROME AT HOME AND ABROAD. from Harper , Wtku (Hditod by Geo. Win. Curtu.l Cardinal Bellarmino stid that the Pope "hath a full powr over the whole world, both in ecclesiastical and civil affairs, and that to question it was a detestable hereny." Pope Paul the Second told the ambassador of Quten Elizabeth that "England wa held in fee of the apastolio see," ami Pope P.as the Fifth assumed to excommunicate and dopose her. This was the Gregorian theory of the soope of eoolesiastical power. From the pre mises of the Roman Church it is strictly logical. And although within the last cen tury the claim has been relaxed by certain Romish universities, and was even proscribed by Pepe Pius the Sixth, the order te whioh Bellarnsine belonged, the Jesuits, has never relinquished the hope and the purpose of declaring it again; and when its ascendancy In the Church was seoured it called the (Ecu menical Council and proclaimed the Papal infallibility. Ibe essential absurdity of the declaration ia. view of the history of the Church is shown, indeed, in this, that if the Pope as Pope be infallible, he has always been so, as the infal libility does not begin with Pius the Ninth. But if he has always been so, the Church must have believed it and taught it. Yet, as Archbishop Purcell said in the Council, "Every one knows that the Council of Lyons, after the Council of Florence, examined the question of the Pope's infallibility, but they did not see their way through; they could not find sufficient evidence in Scripture or tradi tion to define the personal, independent, Beparate, absolute infallibility of the Pope; therefore they laid the question aside." And in 1788 the great Romish universities of the Sorbonne, Louvain, Douay, Alcala, and Sala manca expressly declared that it was no mat ter of faith to believe the Pope infallible. But the Jesuits carried their point. It might be absurd, but it was logical, and it was de sirable. Moreover, when it was promulgated, absurdity would be no impeachment of it, ior a ttue ecclesiastical faith absorbs the incredi ble. The Papal infallibility was proclaimed, and the Roman Pontiff was restored to tho position whichBellarniinehad claimed for him. But the position of tho Roman Church is extraordinary. Within the year in which the civil power of the Pope was declared ne was removed from that power by members of his own communion. In his own political capi tal in Rome itself the Government, com posed of his follow-churchmon, propose the separation of Church and State. In Austria the Government, also ot his own (Jnurcn, bos forbidden the priests to meddle with the schools, and it rebuked the Pope when he protested. The greatest theologian and divine of the Church, Dr. Dollinger, and its greatest orator, Father Hyacinths, have each protested against the decree of infallibility. The King of Bavaria, a Roman Catholio, has signified his sympathy with Dr. Dollinger; and Baron von btauffen- berg, a delegate from Bavaria in the German Parliament, also a Roman Catholic, states that the Bavarian Constitution distinguishes between purely religious and purely secular concerns, and says that before long the ques tion may be asked which is the true Catholio Church ? Bat the most striking fact of all is that, while the aaost vigorous protest against the action of the Vatican Counoil, virtually claiming for the Pope the civil allegiance of every member of his Churoh in the world. proceeds from Roman Catholics in the Eu ropean monarchies, the most unanimous and servile acquiescence in it is found among the Romanists of the American (republic. This acquiescence is so complete that they have, with one exception in the priesthood, and he was peremptorily silenced, bitterly denounced the peaoeful revolution in Rome whioh has placed the Government in the hands of the Romans. And still more sig nificant and important is the fact that the political party in this country whieh claims by its name, Demo cratic, to be peculiarly the party of the peo ples, allies itself with this Roman Catholio element, and it is beoause of this alliance that Father Ileoker and the priests whom Mr. Parton mentions cherish the warmest hopes of the supremacy of their Church in this country a supremacy which would neoes sarily be the overthrow of free popular gov ernment. In 1S0O the Roman Catholics were about one-seventeenth of the whole popula tion. In 1876 they were one-sixth. In 1000 they hope to be one-third. This population is mainly of foreign birth, or of one or two removes. It has necessarily no strong American feeling. It is, with signal and admirable exceptions, an ignorant and superstitious population. It is compact and obedient to ecolesiastical leaders. Those lead ers truly say with Byron, although in another senBe, "0 Rome, my country!" They live for one object the supremaoy of their Church. They understand the methods of acquiring aud maintaining it. Their purpose is relentless; their vigilance unsleeping. A political party, therefore, which, like the Democratic, has sus tained itself npon ignorance, class hatred, and prejudice, steadily disregarding the moral law and the American doctrine of liberty, finds this rapidly increasing multitude exactly suited to its purposes. It has, as a class, no American instincts, little intelligence, and all tho passions of ignorance; and by pandering te its desires the party can secure its vote. Hitherto the political policy of this Church in this country has been the assault upon the public school system. Wherever tbat has been made, it has been mado by the Democratic party, and, as the consideration of that and other favors, that party has bad the Roman Uatnolio vote. This is a fact too conspicuous and signifi cant to be disregarded. The success of the Democratic party would be that of the Rouiw Catholic policy in this country; for the party could not salely alienate the liouian vote, while it could be retained only by the strictest obedience to eocleBiastioal dictation. So true is this that there can be no question if the Roman interest demanded that, ponding the overthrow of the school system in this State by uemocratio aid, tne scuoois in mis ouy, now under Democratio control, should be sup plied with histories satisfactory to that inte rest, they would be furnished, -ine depend ence of the Demooratio party at this moment is upon the Ku-klux feelino both in the North ern and Southern States, and the Roman Catholio vote. Lei every American citizen consider what that implies. THE SITUATION OF THE POPE. From the N. T. Sun. It is an impressive fact that the only pow erful government in Europe wiuuu uas buowu any disposition to speak a gooo worn in ue hff of the Pona. or to take any measures to assuage the painfulness of his position, is the Protestant Government of Prussia. Prince Bismarck has lately appealed to the Italian Cabinet to be as kind and easy with the vene .ni.i iwtifr no nnssiblo. and has reoeived from Florence the assurance that the utiuost respect towards the head of the Catholio Church will constantly be shown by the fi,w,0nt of Italc. This assurance is also fortified by the passage in the Italian Pariia- ment of a tu guarauicoiug v . tl.nnt oil the privileges and immunities which could be expected from a popular hod v. On the other land, Austria, whioh for the pat.t half century Lss been one of the bul warks of Catholicity, lias now fallen away fioitt her fidelity. Not ouly is the concordat, which settles tLe relations between the Papal See and the Imperial Government la a man ner satisfactory to the former to be abrogated, but the Ministry have announeed in the Par liament their intention to propose some sort ot aeoiarawua against tne reoentiy proclaimed dogma of Papal infallibility. Should such a declaration be adopted, Austria under Fran cis J 08pn win become as deoiaoaiy a souts matio oountry as England became under Heary VIII. The apparently desperate condition of that party among the Roman Catholics of the world wao adhere to the temporal power oi the Tope, notwithstanding it has been over thrown by the resistless force of events and we lament to say that this party com prises everywhere an immense majority of the Roman Catholics is well illustrated by the appeal which the priaoipal Catholics of Belgium have lately addressed to M. Thiers. They ask him to interfere for the restoration of the temporal power. As this could only be accomplished by sending powerful armies into Italy, and ns M. Thiers has not troops enough to secure for him an entrance into the capital of his own country, this petition of the Belgian Catholics is almost mournful in its absurdity. It is not impossible that if Thiers were strong enough in France he might once more repeat the traditional fault which has so long been practised by the rulers of that country. They have always attended to other people's busi ness, and weakened France by expending her strength in the regulation of foreign nations; and there are good reasons to believe that Thiers would be willing to repeat the folly. But circumstances put it entirely out of his power; and in all human probability Italy will be so consolidated and so assured in the pos session of Rome by the time France is once more free to act, that it will be impossible to regain for the Papacy the territorial posses sions and political power of which it has now been deprived!
