Rome Reviving as the Centre of Euro
pean Civilization.
Amid all the cliancs nnd evolutions
of our wjrcly ngilnlcd period the numo
of Rome ri'luitig its immemorial influ
ence. Time, war and tlio elements
Imvo bent on tlie nncient city in vnin.
The fully of prince and the turbulence
of the puoplu linro uliko atlhjeelvd it to
ioks oi pouiieni power atiu oi inau'nai
prosperity havo defaced it within
and iHolutt-d it from without, while
impairinir all itsicfouices and dimin
iahinir its population; and yet, in all
its lutilinc'ns, iiome has continued from
ago lo ago to wield an undiminished
empire over the human mind. Thi
she has maintained under every form
of government and in the very pres
ence of the mighty States which have
arisen in Europe and the Went while
her ancient glories wore crumbling to
ruin. At tliis moment sho dispute
with Paris the interest of mankind.
The French capital, so lately the thief
seat or all tho refinements ot modern
lile, tho centre- of the most cont-picu-ous,
if not the tnoxt formidable, itn
Dcrittl rule on cath, and tho nioulJ of
fashion for every elegance) and grace
of other communities, is desolate with
in its wulls under the slia.lowr of itn
pending destruclion, and is girdled
unci iiiuiiutlcd with tiro and steel by
tho fierce, besieging armies Unit encir
cle it and cut It oil I ro in tlio world,
lis hour of humiliating submission or
of material downfall lias tome !
While mankind waits with baled
breath to behold thisJolemn fpectacle
n new light is beginning lo dawn over
tho churches and monuments of Homo.
Tho gigantic shadows of her ancient
sanctuaries tiro brightened by the
presence of tho throngs of visitors who
desire to become residents, streaming
in to her lrotn the most distant coun
tries as we ll s from every pari of tlio
huropenn t ontinetit. Her hotels and
lodging houses arc all crowded and
tho most princely terms arc oiicred for
even the humblest tencmonts which
arc but decently hubitablo. Tho band
of restoration and improvement is al
ready vigorously at work, and the
keen glance ol intelligent speculation
is directed to means of comfort and
profit which the exigencies of tho past
few hundred years havo coin)flled
even tho most enlightened ol her
princes to neglect. And not to the
poetic fancy alone, but lo the coolest
prnrtieal mind of our day, well may a
dream of substantial glory lhatglory
which consists ol reconstruction lor
Iho cood ol fellow man tako shape
and grow until it becomes a grand ro
ality, in recalling what was once
achieved upon this Bite of power and
in lorsecing what may yet co done.
hat an area ot tliouylit is unloldea
lo the gaze that ranges over tho Eter
nal City, the Campaign around it and
the horizon crowned hy tbo Alhan and
tho Sabine Hills, on the ono sidn, and
gilded by the shining waters of the
Mediterranean, but twenty nttlcsaway,
npon the other, when tho beholder
looks out from the ball perched far
above tho doino of St. IVlcr's I
From the banks of the narrow Tiber,
which winds almost immediately be
low, extends tho Cily of tho I'a-sars,
partly masked by tho buildings of the
modern city, which did not oven exist
when world-w'iilo fumo belonged to
the edifices and monuments whoso
very ruins chnllongc admiration.
Those temples In Iheir splendor rmimnt,
Mid ares and etwllsks and domes anlowera,
ltefleetit g hack the radiance ot tha VW.t.
But if wo endeavor to recall tho ng-
preirato of splendor und wealth of
whieh this imperial city was the cen
tre in tho later and more prosperous
ncriod of tho empire, wo shall find tho
retrospect imposing. In the reign of
ihe Kmperor Claudius, one of the suc
cessors of Augustus, liomo which wis
tho chief luminous ccntro cl elegance
and luxury and of substantial manu
factures, as well as of tho fine and
decorative arts whilo at tho same
limo tho star of sc ience, Ihe tongue of
oratory, tho mistress of poesy and
biiks kltirs and the instructing and
commanding bead of religion held
undivided sway over ono hundred and
twenty million human beings, on every
known continent and islund, in every
climo,and of tbo most smar.ing variety
of raeo and culture. Her established
authority reigned equally supreme on
the banks of the Thames and tho Tiber,
and tho glory that rested on her arms
was only eclipsed by the respect that
was willingly paid by all tho tribes
beneath her scepter to the wisdom of
her legislation and tho grandeur of
her ititelleetu.il development. Italy
alone contained cloven bundled and
ninety-seven hnndsome cities; and it
is a question whether, judging by the
remains of pagan splendor lound there,
somo of them did not exceed in an
tique limes the magnificence of their
tiionl notable modern successors. Tho
Roman provinces of Gaul could boast
twelve hundred cities, thoso ot Amca
three hundred and thoso of Asia five
hundred, many of those, like Antioch
and Alexandria, dispulinr the palm
with Rone hersair. Th leading

plates wore connected by a grand Ro
man rond perfectly constructed and
accurately divided, which, as tho his
torians tell us, extended from tlio wall
of Antoninus to Jerusalem a dis
tance of three thonsnnd seven hundred
and forty English, miles. Around
Home itself, tho vast Cumpagna, now
a mephilic waste dotted with pools of
stagnant water and affording only
coarso pasturage lo herds of shaggy
Italian buffalo, was ono continuous ex
panse of the most beautiful gardons and
meadows, crowded with flowers and
fruit and picturesque shade- trees shel
tering tho colonnades of sumptuous
vilas. Thoso extended lo tho verv
foot of tho distant hills aud clnmborcd
tip tlieir alopos, in well ordoroxl luxu
riance, revealing the opulence which
argosies sailing at stated periods from
the numerous ports of tho empire
brought from every accessiblo shoro
of the Orient and of tho West, to lay
in the lap of tlio world's acknow ledged
queen.
H lulu all this, in tlio peculiar lorm
and fashion of the ago of tho Anto-
nincs, can hardly bo replaced in these
late days, since tlio nature of our civi
lizalion is absolutely different, we may
readily anticipate, that with tho loco
motive ulrcady stretching in to the
ancient pales from every part of Italy
and steamships daily multiplying in
Civita Vecchiu and at the mouth of
the liber, all essential splendors will
soon bo revived. Tho affection of
twenty seven million Italians centres
intensely upon tho scut of unciont ro
now ii, of modern art, of political sig
nificance and of supreme ecclesiastical
control, which is their pride end boast;
and tho tuet and culture of a II Euro
pean nations converge to tho same
centre of past tradition and present
influence. To Rome tho whole Catho
lio world looks with profoundest ven
eration and interest, and to liomo tho
scholar, tho statesman, tho orator, the
poet, tho printer, the architect, turn
incessantly for ever fresh at d lusting
inspiration. Iho plans ol Southern
Italy aro as prolific of the vino, the fig,
tho olive and tho rich grain of imme
morial rcpnto as ever, and modern
cultivation will work magic in such a
climo. Tuscany on the north ar.d
Naples on tbo south aro continuous
granaries, orchards and vineyards, and
the sea on tho west and cast opens
wido tho doors of African and Asiatic
trade; whilo through tho Mont Cenis
tunnel all upper Europe and through
tho Suez Cnnul, Arabia, India, China,
Japan and Australia aro made tribu
tary to the Italian ports. The majes
tic aqueducts still stretch over tho
Cnmpagna to tho mounlnins beyond,
and onco repaired woutd bring the
sparkling waters of Tivoli and Albano
to the city ; whilo tho broad plain
itself would bo easily drained and
ogain covered with verdure and bloom,
licit why continue? Tho site, the
land, the associations, tho occasion,
aro ull there, and tho timo is ripo for
a transformation so nntural and so
salutary. Tho work has begun, and

NEW
A DEFUNCT DIPL0MATE.
Tho denonmenl of Mr. Motley's ca
reer as Minister to England is one of
tho most curious and instructive inci
dents in our diplomatic history. Tho
wholo enso is marked from first to
last by striking and oven ludicrous
fenturcs. It bus also its painful as
poets. No one likos to suo the col
iripso of an amiable and well-meaning
man, who has acquired n corlain do
served reputation, like Mr. Motley.
Hut whon it comes of a foolish social
ambition, or a desire prompted by
vanity to got into high places, our re
grots are abated. Mr. Motley never
was fit for the English mission. On
the contrary, he was totally unfit for
it ; and tho point of the wholo corres
pondence is lhat the last paper ema
nating from the Stato Department
flatly and plainly tolls him so. The
statements made in that paper aro
very damagingto Mr. Motley, becauso
they are so fortified in their details as
to bo seen to bo perfectly true Mr.
Motley might havo escaped this cul
ling reply if ho had sense enough to
say nothing after ho was asked to re
sign. Rut bii vanity beclouded his
perceptions when he sought the place,
and it continued to becloud them to
tho end. Ho could not see things us
they were. In a word, he did not
know himself.
We believe him fully when ho Buys
he tried his best to follow the instruc
tions of his Government. But, really,
tho truth must bo confessed : he did
not know enough to do it. This is
what ho is flatly told by tho Depart
ment, and it is what makes tho final
rejoinder bo bitlor and bo crushing. It
really extinguishes Mr. Motley so far
us hi diplomatic qualifications aro
concerned. It is shocking for a di
plomatist to bo informed over and
over nguin that he is vague and loose
und extravagant in his language, and
that ho does not pcrceivo tho points
made in his instructions, and fails to
discriminate in bis discussions between
what is important and what is not.
And yet this is what Mr. Motley is
told, and what is said and reiterated in
reply to his complaint that ho thought
lio was doing just right, and could not
sco why ho should bo removed. The
constant refrain of this memorablo re
sponse from tho Department is, "Mr.
Motley, you havo a facility for writ
ing showy periods, but ns a diploma
tist you are really quito incapable."
The most grcvious misfortunes Of
this case consists in tho fact that this
incapacity was not recognized in Ihe
outset, before Mr. Molley was ap
pointed. Wo tried our best to in
struct tho President and the Depart
ment on this qucs'-ion at the timo.
While tho subject was yet ponding,
wo begged Gen. Grant and the Sen
ate "not to send a boy to do a man's
errand." Wo pointed the futility of
intrusting tho Ahibnma claims, and
similar important national questions
to a man of tho marked deficiencies
of Mr. Motley. Ho is not a man of
political instincts. He has neither
tho education nor tho high qualities
of a statesman. He lacks penetration,
reticence, and judgment. He is a
scholarly man. Ho is happy in
sketching fancy historical pictures
Ho lias a rotund mid dcclumutory
stylo. Ho dotes on a picturesque ac-
itnatiun ot delivery, ile is tond ot
tho showy. Ho loves social distinc
tion. He is happy in the presenco of
titled ladies and gentlemon. Wo not
imputo these as grave faults, but wo
rcgurd them as weaknesses aud fail
ing", disqualifying their pnaaowior for
important public stations.

this case, in which wo confess our
sympatntes tire a niiio on me siuo oi
.Mr. money, no couiu noi sco wnui
he ought to bare seen, but what bis
natural inaptitude for his position
prevented him from seeing. This
was tho weak as well as tho strong
points in tho Alabama case, and his
failure here was partly duo to tho an
omalous condition of tho State De
partment, a most important feature
in ibis imbroglio, as we shall presently
demonslrnlo. Ho had come under
tho influence of Mr. Sumner, who had
inspired him with a profound regard
for tho whole budget of ordinary und
extraordinary complaints mado by
that Senator in bis remarkable speech
on tho Alabama question. Mr. Mot
ley had swallowed tho whole doso. He
had red taped tho entire budget, as a
firccious magazine of projectiles which
io was lo cxplodo from time to timo
npon tho British Cabinet, as opportu
nity served. Ho reckoned their value
rathor by their number than thoir
kind and quality. He could not
quickly discriminate, if indeed at all,
hotweon their relative poworand mer
it, and this proved a prolifio source of
Ins subsequent woes. Ho especially
mado the trrcat mistake ol laying as
much stress npon tho compluint

Govorntneht in recognizing tho belig

ofsovcral of tlio intermediate des
patches, or ut least writing under
quite different inspirations. We can
not help seeing in this correspondence
tho quoor consqquonees arising from
the di verso views entertained and ex
pressed by diverse writers in the
State Department. Tho final reply
to Mr. Motley's complaint evidently
docs not como from the same source
as tho long despatch which wo have
ascribed lo Mr. Gushing. Noither
does it cmunato from the samo source
in the Department us thai which con
sented to Mr. Motley's appointment,
and was favorably disposed toward
his shortcomings afterward. It is
evidently the work of somo man who
was boslilo to Mr. Motley from the
beginning, aud who is fully imbued
with tho idea of hi incapacity as a
diplomatist. This gentleman we as
sumo to be Mr. Hunter, one of the
Assistant .Secretaries ol SUtto, and the
sttmo who had Ibo credit of writing
Mr. Webster's fumotm reply to the
Austrian Minister liulseinunn. Mr.
Hunter is a capable, truculent man,
naturally peremptory, and whoso
long official career in an authorita
tive position has given him a certain
insolence of tone. Mr. Motley, who
had been encouraged to the exhibi
tion of his weakness by Mr. Cusliing's
cluborato manifesto, and who had
hud them from timo to time condoned
by grnllo criticisms from favorable
Lands, going to tho very vcrgo of op
proval, is at length brought up with
a round turu by being handed over to
tbe lender mercies of Mr. Hunter.
This theory uffurds the only consis
tent explanation of the steps by
which Mr. Motley finally roceivejhis
death-blow; and we give it as tho
real clue by w hich ho and his friends
may discover how it is that tho al
ways serene and complacent bead of
tho State Department can socmingly
blow such extraordinarily differing
currents from his mouth.
Mr. Motley's sacrifice, wo thus per
ceive, it one iu which justice and in
justice are unequally blended. Where
the lujuslieo appears we sido with jUr.
Motley. Where justico predominates
(which wo are constrained lo say, is
where tho substance of this case
dwells,) we have to consent even to
his full. Mr. Sumner should not have
urged his nomination. The President
should not have appointed him. Tlio
Senate should not havo confirmed
him. lie was not a tit man for the
post. And however caustic Mr. Hun

He says: "The office of an Attorney

society. The necessities of men in u
state of high civilization, required the
profession of tho law as a distinct call

lo it by a long conrso of study, and
qualified by skill and learning to un
derstand, protect and sssert the rights
of others, who by reason of the stato
of society, or their own innbility, can
not act for themselves. As prosperity
increases and new forms of it are

to preservo that character in its high

timo so ncedf.il. Notwithstanding the
prejudices of some, tho ignoranco of
others, and oven tbo discredit occn

of n n i in :i I aliment, and ns gnat an
adept in deception us was ever Intli.t
ed on tho country by a New EriglnnJ
cominonwc-aHli. Ho has inunagnd lo
secure a good ileal of puffery for the
ocliviiy !) ho displayed in trying to
prevent the l'ucitio railroad from
swindling the gnvernmentont of many
millions of dollars Now it turns out
thul Boulwcll kept his peace until tho
damage was irreparable, stid then
sent up a Into anil ciy which was
meant to cover up his share of the in
famy. Tho history of tho whole nffuir is
now made public, and theso are the
simple facts, without anything having
been extenuated, nor aught having
been set down in malico. When the
Pacific railroud bills were first before
Congress, allegations were mado and -denioil
that Mr. Oakes Amos, a mem
ber of tho llouso of Representatives
from Massachusetts, as well as others
on tho floor of the House, were pecu
niarily interested in lis passage, lie-
sides the land grants', in themselves
enormous, Congress gavo money to
build tins road to the urnount of iU,-
0110,000, with the understanding that
the company would pay the money
back, and until such payment was
made meet promptly tho interest.
Tho United Stales were secured in a
first lien on the road, and on other
property of the company, and the inter
est paid amounted to $2,417,401. This
tho thieves considered too honest en
tirely, und greedy for additional gain,
they seen red the passago of another
bill giving to third parlies the first
lien, and thus the government lost its
security forever. Through a series of
disgraceful manoenvors tho corpora
tors of the company became possessed
of, without the expenditure of a single
dollar, the stupendous sum of 820,000,
000, as well as tlio cash avails of all
the first mortgage bonds and stock,
together with a first lien covering the
roads themselves." When they pro
gressed thus fur, they slopped paying
the government interest, and Mr.
Boutwcl! permitted this outrago to go
on until the arrears amounted to $b
402,602, and the people were fast en
quiring a knowledge of the facts.
As Boon as Boutwell remonstrated,
tho company refused to pay, and not
only that, but gave it out thul it was
unable to meet the indebtedness. Then
ulthisopportnno moment, Oaks Ames,
tho Radical Congressman, ar.d bosom
friend and crony of Boulwcll, fails in
business. The Ames Plow Works,
tho largest manufactory of the kind in
tho United States, stops at onco, and
so does Oliver Ames & Sons, and
bnlfdozon other works, all of wl iuli
are owned wholly, or in part, by Oakes
Ames, tlio member of Congress, nnd
Pacific railroad corporator. Ofcourso
tho bonds of tho Pncifio road fell to
very low depths, and a panic in the
market was the result. Ames says
ho failed because tbe bonds, of which
he had two millions dollars worth, fell,
and tho rumor in the street attributed
tho decline in the bonds lo the failure
of Ames.
Now, wo bear of Ames and his con
federates, one of whom is, in all proba
bility, Mr. Boulwcll, buying up the
bonds at very low figures.
II is presumed thul lully IIOU.UOU,-
000 id casb will be realiaod Irom lb la ,
transaction, besides all the equipments
of tho roads ond ono hundred and fifty
thousand square miles of arable lands.
Wo utliro tho roads will eventually
bo brought to Ihe hammer, and the
friends and relations of bankrupt (!)
Ames and the proxies of Mr. Uoulwell
will buy in the wholo concern, and
lhu posses themselves of the fruite
of tho most disgraceful scheme ever
inaugurated in the United States. If
radical Ames, or pious ponsiiea uoui
well, have a defeeso to these charges
wo would like to bear from them.
