Os the subject of Papal infallibility which Las elicited so much criticism, favorable and otherwise, as well in the j and the editor who published the story mut A Lie Nailkd. The New York Times published a statement a few days since to the effect that the Democratic vote returned at the last election iu New York city was about equal in somo districts to the number of inhabitants returned by the census-takers. The reporter who got up the article must n ve been Uruuk at the time he prepared it, public journals as among the people of all civilized countries, the New Y'ork Sun makes the following sensible and well timed comments : The ignorance displayed by so many of those who undertake to discuss the question of Papal infallibility appears in fuli loice in the following extract frtm the Chicago Trib- tine : 'The Fope having- been riot-la reel infallible by The Lyndon Times of July 2oth pub lishes the full text of the late treaty pro- nosed bv France to l'ru U jw t H nripp ' ?. 1 1 v"u'11"' " ""l ' ""siaK-'ii- poseu oy xiunt-e to 1 rusaa as int. puce! lllou t Kui-opc refer the outstanding dilietences of peace, ufter the war of 13GG between j Prussia and Austria, and again revived ftti iTA recently when France asked the cession I ?eut "nte, if hw infallibility c-uimo't be turned of the Grand Duchy to Luxemburg and lhe conquest of lkdgium, assisted by Frus- to account iu great cinerjfouoiesi'" The infallibility of the Pope has no refer ence whatever to temporal aflairs. lie is j declared to be infallible, not as an individual sia. ranee as a return for this promised j ,nau but as tLe chief iiilihop of the llotlian Prussia to permit the fusion of South and North Germany, except the Austrian provinces; also, recognizing the validity of the acquisitions made by Prussia at the i inspiration ot the Church, however, relates proposed an offensive and defensive alii- ; exclusively to spiritual concerns, and has no ance between the two nations. To these CODtiectiou wth unless of state, war, fi nance or omer woriaiy matters. What the Church, claiming to be the vicegerent of .-hrist ou earth. Ihat the Church is the depository of divine inspiration is a doctrine which has long been professed by the Roman Catholic communion, and it is not strange even to some lrotestant churches. This arrangements the reply of Prussia was curt and decisive. She positively refused to consider any such propositions coming from France. This declination of Prus sia to listen to any overtures from France was the real cause of the present conflict. This is the way tho labor assembly of Cincinnati and vicinity goes for the negro Chinese party : Unless the Government shall soon com mence the work of redressing the wrongs of labor it will prove to have been unworthy of the first drob of that river of blood which five huudred thousand wrorking-rnen poured out in defense of the old flag. To take our blood, to take our lands, to tax us so enor mously to pay the costs of the war which the monopolkuj piodoced, and then to import Chinamen to work in. our stead and drive our families into distress, constitute such an accumulation of wrongs as would justify revolution had we not the ballot for redress of grievauce-8. n ? i .ecumenical vOUucil nave now done is to declare that this infallibility respecting thiugs of faith and rules of morals, which has always been regarded as belonging to the Church, hencefoith attaches to the head of the Church, to tha Pope. Whenever he speaks in that capacity upon religious and moral subjects, he is infallible ; but any suggestiou of bringing the divine powers which are henceforth attributed to him into the settlement of the difference between France and Prussia must be regarded as ab surd, even by those who do not consider it blasphemous. Possibly, however, the Trib une intended only to utter a sarcasm agaiust infallibility, and had no serious idea of call ing in the Pope for the purpose which it mentioned. Tub Huntingdon Monitor truthfully remarks that Democrats should considor There is a queer story among the Cin cinnati German printers iu regard to Charles Boehler, of their number, who recently died of delerium tremens, and a friend of his named Chris. Steiler. Some three years ao, as the story runs, Steiler, who was at that time accustomed to work at the same desk with Boehler, gathered a group about hi in in a beer saloon and told them he had had a d-eam the night before, in the course of which he had seen, slowly drawn before him ttcu mo lujpunancu oi going 10 me ueie- iEg a full length coffio, on which was iQ, gate elections and when there to 6ee to it j scribed in large letters, -Charles Boehler, that the persons to be chosen delegates are j J'f!7 J0-" Koehlcr Wfl told of this dream', t i ...

It is supposed bv his friends that th very dread of his approaching doom drove him to the lifiwor which really caused his death by deleura tremens. fi'vrld. have been laboring under some inability to comprehend figures. The whole vote of wards, in which there are a number of poll ing places, was compared with the popula tion of single precincts. A true statement of the case shows that not more than one vote was cast to seven inhabitants. The usual allowance iu rural districts is one voter to six inhabitants, and iu large cities like New York, where many unmarried men find employment, it would not be strauge to find one voter to every five of the population. The vote returned being only one to seven inhabitants shows that there was still a re served force at home. Had all tho votes of the city been polled the Democratic majority would have been still larger thau it was. The Radicals want to find some excuse for the passage of the new Naturalization bill which discriminates against foreigu-born cit izens, and these lying reports iu regard to the conduct of elections iu New York city are gotten up for that purpose. The subter fuge will not avail thtoi. The lie was promptly nailed as soon as made, and the falsehood did not travel far until truth over took it. The Rad ca!s will find out in the end that they can gain nothing even in New York city by t'ae odious Naturalization bill, and their appointment of federal officials to fcpy around the polls and superviso elections. The Democratic majority in the gieat me tropolis of the country will not bo lessened. With a full poll of the legal vote it can be greatly increased. Fatal Shooting Affair. A shooting affair took place or. Saturday morning week at Locustdale, Columbia county, just on the border of Schuylkill, involving loss of life. It seems that John Phillips, unmarried, and a blacksmith, bearded with Richard Pal mer, who is married and keeps house. Pal mer came home on Saturday morning and shot Phillips. Talmer states tho cause to have been criminal intimacy with his wife. The dying deposition of Phillips denies this! He says that Palmer came homo about 2 o'clock on Saturday moruing drunk that he commenced abusing his wife, and then coming up stairs to Phillips, who was in his bed, ordered him to get up and leave the house. Whilo he was putting on,his clothes, Palmer ran into another room for his revol ver. Phillips then started, half dressed, to run out of tho house. He was followed by Palmer, who, when he reached the door, fired three shots at him, one ba!l taking effect in his back, passing through his body" Phillips died at 6 o'clock on Sunday mor ning. It is stated that before ho died he told a friend to go to his trunk in Palmer's house, and that he would find $280, part of which could be used for his funeral expenses. The friepd went, opened and examined the trunk, but found no money. After Phillip had been shot. Palmer's wife escaped from the house, fearful for her life at tho hands of Palmer, who at the time of the shooting was much infuriated. Palmer was arrested" and after a hearing before a justice of the peace at Centralia, was commiued to jail at Biooms burg to awuit Lis trial. The fall of bloody rain, says tho Phila delphia Age has not yet commenced in Kurope. It is, however, daily expected. The contest cannot long be delayed, as the armies are gettng into such positions as will make the postponement impossible. rive rrencti army corps are on the fron- 1 tier of France, and the Emperor's bead-! quarters will be at Nancy. Large dc- i tachments from the army of Algiers are daily arriving at Lascillen, and pushing on j to the scene of action. These troops have ; eeen much service, and are hard, deter- j mined fighters. Their officers are also I among the most skilled in the French j army. The Emperor and Prince Impe- I rial will take the field in a few days, and j (hen the whole line will be put in motion, i lhe Journal UJicul publishes a procla mation from the Emperor to th? people of France, in which, after putting the cause of the war upon Prussia, he declares that "the people composing the great German ic nationality, shall dispose freely of their condition." This is a wily movement. The headquarters of the Prussian Army are at Kreulzeiiach, a town and watering p'.ace of Ilhenish Prussiq, on the Nahr, eight miles south of liingen, and the car den spot of Germany. General de Ker boch will command the Fifth Army Corps, and Lieutenant General de Colborn the Eighth. Prince Hoyal, Frederick Wil liam, commands the left of the Prussian Army, Prince Frederick Chatles the cen tre, and Ilerwarth von Ultteuficld the! right. The defences of the coast will be I entrusted to General von Falkenstein. j The different corps are in Cue condition, and anxious for the fight. All Germany j is aroused, and the volunteer corps filling j up rapidly. They will hold the depots 1 while the volunteer troops nre actively i engaged. King William is welcomed J wherever he appears, and the enthusiasm ! is intense. A competent militarv mi- ! thority in speaking of the condition of' rrance, says: "lhe OTosrrnnhifial nnsi tion of Fiance, as well as the enormous amount of her population, renders her ca pable of prolonged resistance. Hounded on lhe south by the almost impassable Pyrenees, on the west by the broad ocean, on the north by the English Channel, she has but to spring forward to her eastern line, overrunning P.elgium, as she must and will, and lay her legions in quintuple strength, all along her natural boundary, the Uliine. Reposing there, with her Spanish frontier protected by the Pyrer.C3s, she may rest forever without fear of pene tration by any outside force. Her base of operations is her centre, where her peo ple grow their food ; and her lines of com munication to the armies on the frontier are short interior lines. T he lines of the outside armies, cn the contrary, must widely radiate, and d?pend upon "bases of operations more or less distant from the point of attack. The armies of France, iherefoie, after having acquired the whole of lielgium and the entire left bank nf i Rhine, which is all that she desires, would t De equal, through ber short lines of com munication and facility of striking from her center to all points of the exterior, to five times the number of the enemy " In order to make the plan of the campaign complete, the Prussian troops have fallen back and are concentrating between the fortresses of Coble-n'.z and Mayence. Op posite Coblcntz, across the Rhine, is the celebrated Prussian fortress of Ehren breit stein. This fortress has always been couidered impregnable. It has succumbed only twice toin enemy ; and on these oc casions the event was brought about at one time by treason and the other by famine. It has, on the other hand, been repeatedly attacked unsuccessfully. In 1SG8, it was in vain bc-seiged by the French under Marshal RoufHers, though the celebrated Vauben directed the works against it; and even Louis XiV repaired to the spot in order to be an eye-witness to its surrender.

In two days, therefore, the present session will be at an end, and no one will regret it unless it be the lobbyists and the specula tors in and out of the two Houses. When the session commenced, a strong hope was entertained that wise and comprehensive measures would be matured to relieve the financial, commercial and political difficul ties of the times. Rut after a session of more than seven months, there is but little result except disappointed hopes and vain expectations. It would be most difficult for any one familiar with Congressional history to point out a session characterized by so great an amount of the merest ca price in attempting legislation. There is scarcely an important subject (not of a party nature) upon which the two Houses agreed, and scarcely one upon which eith er House agreed with itself from the be ginning to the end of the consideration of any one principal measure. It appeared to be the fate of nearly every important bill to be matured up to a certain point, and then to be cither defeated by the House which matured it, or else to be revolutionized by the other House, after it got there. Then came a series of back ings and fillings the inevitable conference committee and hybrid compromises that are of very little account either way. It would have been much better if such matters had been left alone. The coun try has been kept in a condition of uncer tainty, and business unsettled, and all to no purpose. As the session closes there will be a sensation of relief, just as there is in this State after the adjournment of the Legislature.

Oo the night mentioned, j Mr. Feitz was away from home, having gone : to the store in the viilr-.ge. Between 9 and ' 10 o'clock a knock was heard at the djor, i and Jin. Feliz, from the manner of the j knock, discovered that it was -not her hits- hand, and therefore refused to open the door. Finding that he could not sain an entrance at this door, he proceeded to the cellar door ! and succeeded in getting in, when he called I to the ladies to come down. At this time. ! the ladies nnderstanding his design, ran out ot the house, takinc different when the fiend followed them am the mother, whose escape was prevented by having fallen into a ditch. She made a des perate struggle to get away, but the grip of the black wretch was so Orm that the print of the hand could be seen oa her body a few days after, and thus had to submit to the hellish work. After this was ncriomnlished he left the mother in an insensible condition, 1 and followed the daughter, who was soon j overtaken, she having sank down, overcome j with fright, and outraged her iu the same way. The fiend then left, and up to this j time, has not been arrested.

But the eagle will peck aud tear his companion of disgusting odor and ap pearance, just as his young representatives at West Point are pecking at the buzzard's representative now caged iu tho Academy with them. These naturally incotnpatibla elements will never mix harmoniously in our governmental and social afftirs. and tho poor buzzards are doomed to just such a pecking and plucking as the colored cadet. Smith, complains of. It may be wrong, but it is natural and, as we have said, legislatiou cannot couqucr nature, nor the laws of Cm. gross repeal tho laws of God. Hon. Alex. Stephens has written a let ter repelling the statement that his book makes Mr. Davis responsible for tho failure of the Confederate army to advance after the battle of Manassas, saying, "on .tho contrary I expressly state that in my opinion the Confederate army at Manassas was in no condition to make nn advance after the great battle at that point." to take this step, it is said, because of the unreliability of the negro laborers, who have lelt and ae still leaving the road in large numbers." The Vevay Democrat says old Jesse Grant was in clover for two days at Coving ton, Ky., during tho stay of Dan Rice's cir cus there. He said that tho negro riding the educated mule was worth tho price of admission, and reminded him forcibly of Ulyssos in his younger days. The old man was admitted at half price, tho same as other children. Tho Cincinnati Inquirer thus notices General Sheridan's mission to the Old World at this time : "A war in which armies con fine themselves to fightiug armed men. and don't make a practice of shooting pestilenco strickeu women and children, will have so little in common with Sheridan's style, that he will hardlj care to waste much time iu watching its progress." Jeter Philips, the Richmond wife mur derer, after having been respited twelve times, was brought to the gallows on Friday afternoon. He made a full confessiou of his crime.
