TELEGRAM TO TUX DISrATCH.1 ' New York, August 3L In all the Catholic churches of this archdiocese this morning will be read a pastoral letter from Archbishop Corrigan and the Papal allocu tion of June 30, already published. The letter reinforces the admonition of the allo cution, which was based on the erection of the statue of Giordaro Bruno in Borne. The letter begins: Michael Ausustlne, by the grace of God and favor of the Apostolic See, Archbishop of New York, to the clersy of the diocese and the faithful of his charge, health and benediction in the Lord: Deablt Beloved Brethren: Nineteen years ago Victor Emmanuel, "the gentleman King," sent an agent to Pope Pius IX to invite him to surrender the patrimony of St. Peter and the temporal powers which secnrcd his independence as the head of the Universal Church. Without waiting for the letter of the Sovereign Pontiff in reply to this insolent re quest to reach him, Victor Emmanuel INVADED THE PAPAXi TEKRITOBY. and took forcible possession of Rome. To preserve a show of decency, and to quiet in some measure the outraged feelings of Catho lics thronghout the world, a royal decree was issued declaring tint "the Sovereign Pontiff preserves his dignity, inviolability and all the prerogatives of a sovereign." Is ext it added: "A special law will sanction the conditions proper to guarantee, even by territorial fran chises, the independence of the Sovereign Pontiff and the free exercise of the spiritual authority of the Holy See." A further farce, called the Lawof Guarantees, was subsequently enacted a measure passed by the so-called Italian Parliament, not per manently, however, binding the country at large, as, for instance, the Constitution of the United States is binding on American citizens, bnt a provision revocable at any moment on ' the mere vote of the majority of deputies. Judged in the light of subsequent events these promises of the King and his Parliament, paltry as they were compared with the high handed injustice already committed, were made to be broken. In fact ever since the ocennation of Rome, slowly and stealtbilv, hut yet surely and steadily, the chains have been wound closer and closer around the successor of St. Peter. The semblance of sovereignty enjojed by the august prisoner of the Vatican has been en croached upon, time and asain, in various ways until at length the actural Government would openly affirm, if it dared, that the Holy Father is SISiriY A SUBJECT I of the King of Italy. More than this, the j avowal is now made, and apparently with high , judicial sanction, that not only the temporal but ,jf also the spiritual power of the Pontiff must f cease to exist. The Holj Father has more than I once called attention to these machinations of his enemies, and most pointedly in an allocu tion pronounced in a special consistory held on the 30th of June, a copy of which is herewith appended: But besides these grave and authoritative declarations we have the confession of the conspirators themselves. On occasion of the unveiling of the statne of Giordano Bruno, on Pentecost Snndav, Signor Bovio, a denuty in Parliament and the orator of the da, affirmed: 'To-day Rome inaugurates the religion of thought, the beginning of another era." The press of Rome is even more outspoken: "On September 20, 1870, the temporal dominion was overthrown, but to-day it is the spiritual do minion itself whose obsequies are celebrated. It is the very soul of the church at whose death we are assisting." - In the same sense the latest apologist of Giordano Brunn, in a pamphlet published in Rome, July 8. in reply to the aforesaid allocu tion of the Holy Father, adds. "During the Middle Ages the Papacv, even in a political ' sense, was conceivable. Now that the State is a uuion of free citizens of free men, who gov em and are governed the supremacy of the Pontiff is impossible under every respect." On account, then, of THE EVIDENT AIM of the revolut on to antagonize the Christian religion by attacking and if possible destroy ing the See of Peter, it will be useful to no tice the honors lavished on the spirit of re bellion, in the person ot Giordano Bruno, and to examine the principle on which his ad mirers base his claims to distinction. The pro ject of erecting a statue in Rome to the mem ory of Bruno, and on the very place of his ex ecution, originated in Turin, shortly after the breach ol Porta Pia in 1870. The idea was taken ud by the hot-beaded youth attending the various universities noted as seats of liberalism. In 1S76, under the inspi ration of Signor Bovio, whose name has been already mentioned, "the University Commit tee" was formed to carry on the work which has now culminated in the unveiling of the statne. To make the opposition to Christian ity more pronounced the most noted atheists and free-thinkers of the world were named members of an honorary international coin suttee. Among the representatives so chosen was Vic tor Hugo, who says: "Giordano Bruno is a noble victim of thought: I salute his memory with emotion." And Ernest Renan writes "The thought of erecting an expiatory monu ment to Giordano Bruno on the very soot of his execution seems to me the personification of justice. We owe a double homage to these heroes of truth who at the price of their lives have won the liberties we now enjoy. The first duty is to honor their memory; the second to pursue with redoubled ardor their scientific ' researches, to which we can now devote our selves in peace-thanks to their tears, thanks to their blood." The SOPHISMS OP THESE EtTLOGIES are apparent It is needless to relate the life of Bruno. As the Holy Father says there was nothing in it worthy of the honor recently be stowed on his memory. His most ardent ad mirers have never claimed that he was a patriot. His teaching, even according to his warmest apologists, were merely a binding of materialism and pantheim. His life was most immoraL His claim to distinction was hatred of Christ our .Lord, hatred of the religion which he founded, and of His representatives on earth. In the delioerate attempt to cast a slur on Christianity and on its chief exponent, the monument io cruno was thought of. to be erected as a threat at once and a trophy, in the very center and heart of Catholicity. Hence, in like manner, the selection of the day, of all days in the yearlor the unveiling of the statue, the Feast of Pentecost, on w hich the Christian world commemorates the outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon the apostles and the begin ning of their glorious mission. Bruno's monu ment is thus the deification ot unbelief. The Archbishop then discusses free thought; On this subject he says: The church maintains that as truth can never contradict truth, true scientific research can never conflict with divine revelation. But Iree thought, as advocated by the admirers of Bruno, denies the right of a hicher and divine authority to command the mind's assent and control its speculations and constitutes human . nature the sole supreme jndge of all truth. human and divine. It asserts the , ABSOLUTE INDEPENDENCE of the mind of man from all responsibility -even to the supremo iiuru ana .Master of all. discards Mis reveaieu worn ana rejects His authority. In a word it is the deification of human reason. The doctrine is false in pnllos- 3ophy, false in tneoiogy, xaise in etnics. "Tr1 MFirst, It is philosophically unsound because '- truth sometimes so presents itself to the mind as ito claim necessary assent leav ing no room for doubt or relee- KtionMP'Take certain axioms In mathema- Instance, that a straight line Is the J shortest distance between two points. In this and similar statements, not only in science, bnt in every department ot knowledge, the intel lect has no freedom of choice. It assents at once, and from its very nature cannot do other wise. It le not free to dissent. Indeed, properly speaking, freedom does not belong to the mental faculty. , In this respect it is important to bear in mind the difference between the Intellect and the wilL In this life the will cannot be necessi tated by any individual good or advantage however great, because no created good can fully satisfy the capacity of our nature. With the mind, on the contrary, truth, whenever clearly perceived, is irresistible. The acts of our mind follow of necessity; just as on the other hand those same acts of the mind are necessarily withheld whenever intrinsic or ex trinsic evidence does not place truth within the horizon of our mental vision. If in the lat- ter oase JUDGMENT BE PBONOUNCED it is because the will acts upon the mind and makes it adhere with more or less foundation to one statement rather than to another. By analogy we are in the habit of calling this pro cess or our minds liberty, by a certain deriva tion from the liberty of the will. Now if we admit this liberty with regard to everything, as the system under consideration requires, we must admit likewise that the mind never sim ply perceives truth, or that truth is never so perceived as necessarily to claim intellectual assent. This once admitted, the foundation of all kind of knowledge is undermined, and not only religion, but science itself, falls to the ground. Free thought, therefore, cannot stand the test of philosophical scrutiny. Second, as a system it rests untenable sup positions. The moment we raise the oanijer of free thought we must bold by the very fact that the Christian creed rests on no solid foundation; that all the reasons which affirm it are at least doubtful; that all the miracles by which it was promulgated were the work of fraud and Imposture. If free thought le accepted, either the Chris tian religion contains no truth revealed by God, or these truths thus revealed cannot claim the assent of our intellect, In other words, a reasonable being must either examine the cre dentials of Christianity and refute them or, ad mitting that it is A DIVINE EELIGION, still refuse to adopt it. Neither conclusion is tenable; the first, as involving a difficulty even more Inexplicable than the one it repudiates; the other as inconsistent with right reason. Tbird.flnally.liberty of thouchtimplies liberty of action, so that moral and physical liberty be come distinct only in name. Man, therefore, may deem morally right whatever be can physically perform. It is needless to say how pernicious in its consequences would be the practical application of such doctrine. Now, if it be lawful to think as wo please, why can not wo think that virtue and vice are mere namesT That property is robbery? That modesty and decorum are but prejudices of education; That treason, self-indulgence, in justice are to be placed op the same level with patriotism, temperance and righteousness Since, therefore, our exterior actions are prompted and guided by onr inward thoughts, with principles like those suggested by free thought, what will human life be in this worldT What will become of the familyT What of civil society itself? Mere material force, illogically used in Similar contingencies, will not suffice to avert threatening evils or check their baleful progress Freedom of thought is therefore a fountain of woe in its practical application and its logical results. And now.dear brethren, the grosser the results offered to our blessed Lord, the more fervent and devoted in proportion ought to be our love for Him and our care not to offend Him our selves. In our day and generation one of the most fatal snares laid for the faithful is affiliation with SECEET SOCIETIES, that are based on mere naturalism in exclusion of, and, by inference at least, in ooposition to our Divine Redeemer. The barm that has come to religion in the eternal city during the past 20 years is attributed mainly to the workings of secret societies. In our land of freedom there is no need of burrowing in the dark. Much less ought Catholics patronize associations in which the Christian faith and the divinity or Christ, our Savior, are ignored. Our sympathy also goes out to the vicar of our Lord on earth. We grieve with him tor the outrages inflicted on religion. We grieve that Rome, sanctified bv the blood of myriad mar tyrs, has seen the standard of .the Evil One flaunted through her streets in memory of an apostle whose sole merit was to repeat with Lucifer of old. "I will not serve." In the pain and insult offered to the bead all the mem bers necessarily share. In the wrongs done to the sovereign pontiff the faithful of the whole world are assailed; and against snch indignities, continued now for 19 ear?, all of us, as Cath olics, litter our indignant protest. finally let us reaouoio our supplications to the Most High, that He may make the light of His countenance to shine upon us and have mercy on us; that He may pour His grace into the hearts of the wayward 'and "the ignorant that "they may know Him, the only true God and Jesus Christ whom He has sent.". A. WARD AFTER INFORMATION. He Called Ills Brother Out of Bed to Dis cuss Slavery. Lewlston Journal.! Payson Tucker was in Tiis younger days a companion of Artemus "Ward, and tells many a good story about him. Here is one that the railroad manager related to ex Governor Plaisted at the Twin Mountain Mouse the other day: Artemus was out very late one night, and came home in a driving snowstorm. The family had retired. Artemus went around the house and threw snowballs at his brother Cyrus' window, shouting for him to come down quickly. Cyrus appeared in haste and stood shivering in his night clothes. "Why don't you come in, Charles? The door is open." "Oh," replied Artemus, "I could have gotten in all right. I called you down be cause I wanted to ask you if you really thought it wrong to keep slaves." COWfilDED HER DAUGSTER. A Reading Widow's Fierce Antaconlam to n Probable Son-In-Lnw. rSriCUT.

BRILLIANT GARDEN PARTI. The Crowning; Evrnt of the Season at Surn- tog-n A Complete Success. tSFECIAX. TZLXGRAM TO THE DISrjLTCH.3 SABATOGA, August 3L The crowning event of the Saratoga season was the garden party given to-day by the Hon. Henry Hilton and J. Id. Otter, at the Grand Union Hotel. Last year and several previous vears rain prevented the fullest success of the garden parties, which always suffered by postponement, bnt to-day the weather and all the fates 'were propi tious, and the whole gorgeous affair was a perfect success. The programme of the 'entertainment had a wide range. The afternoon was more especially fortbe chil dren, while the great full dress ball in the evening was one of the most brilliant affairs of the kind ever known in Saratoga. A Midnight Cutting Affray. Jennie Laurel and Emmie Hess, liv ing on First avenue, got into a quarrel last night near the small hours, and in the course of the trouble the Hess woman slashed Jennie Laurel in the arm and waist with a case knife. The row raised the police, and both women were taken to Cen tral station. The police surgeon dressed the wounds, which were of a serious nature. Jumped From a Bridge. J At 1:10 this morning an unknown.young man jumped from the Tenth street bridge, on the P. & Ii. E. tracks and received in juries which will probably prove fatal. He was taken to the Soutbside Hospital, where such relief as was possible was afforded him. No cause for the attempt at suicide is assigned. A Concession by Zanzibar. Zanzibar, August 31.

Preparations for possible trouble continue in Europe. The German military force will be augmented, to keep in line with similar action on the part of France and Russia. There is still much doubt as to whether the Czar will visit Berlin. COPTBIGHTZD BT THB ASSOCIATED FEESS, 1889. 1 Beblin, August 31. The coming ses sion of the Reichstag is not expected to be either stormy or sensational. Among the most important measures to be introduced is a bill which the Government is preparing for credits to augment and reorganize the army, in view of the continual increase of the French and Bussian armaments. The members of the Beichstag an the public are being prepared for this bill by significant articles in all the official organs. These papers are demanding an increase of the German forces which is calculated on the effective force that the new French mili tary law will enable France to put into the field. The Badical newspapers have begun an agitation for a reduction of the period of compulsory military service with the colors. THEY MUST DBILL. The term is three years, and the Radicals want it reduced to two "years. The. War Office will not entertain the suggestion. The Bundesrath, which meets about the end of Septemherj will begin its work by examining the Socialist law and discussing a project tor the reform of the Imperial Bank. "Several petitions have been sent to the Government from Alsace-Lorraine asking that the authorities there be instructed to mitigate the rigors of the passport regula tions. The petitions Have thus far met with no response from the Government. Tbe Strasburg Landes-Zeitung even reports that the permission hitherto accorded in parishes adjoining the frontier to dispense with the exhibition of passports where there are frequent crossings for business purposes is now withdrawn. There is no cessation in the press polemic on African affairs. The Vossisehe Zeitung, commenting upon the appearance ot the English Blue Book, says that the object seems to be to demonstrate anew, in spite of German INDIGNATION MEETINGS and revilings against England in regard to the Em in relief expedition, the fact that tbe Anglo-German understanding has not undergone the slightest interruption. The Fossiscfte Zeitung believes that this entente precludes tbe possibility of Germany lend ing the smallest countenance to any efforts like that of Dr. Peters to) interfere with the English plans in Central Africa. Tbe JSoersen Zeitung declares that during the negotiations for a joint blockade Ger many gave formal assurance that Emin's province, including "Wadelai, though officially abandoned by Egypt, should still be regarded, at least provisionally, as be longing to Egypt. The assertion that a formal agreement was made is perhaps exagg erated, but the North German Gazette's at tacks on the Cologne Gazette and National liberal organs favorable to Dr. Peters, in dicate Prince Bismarck's firm intention not to give offense to England in colonial mntters. The Hanover Courier, Herr Benigsen's organ, deplores the misunderstanding's created by the JforfA German Gazette, and regrets that the friends of Prince Bismarck and the Emperor in high position should be attacked because they failed to foresees year ago the rapprochement with Englaud. SOMETHING OP A CHANGE. The Frankfort Gazette similarly expresses surprise considering the license Prince Bismarck formerly allowed that it should now be so dangerous to endeavor to ascer tain, in a penectly passionless manner, what are the German rights as compared with tbe English private trausgressipn. The Gazette asks in a tone of sarcasm1 "What is the enormous price England must be paid for a total suppression of even the most modest expression of public opinion regarding Ger man colonial subjects." The Votsiche Zeitung supports the atti tude of the North German Gazette, in the belief that England's scheme to connect her scattered coast possessions by way of the in terior will not affect the German colonial policy. Telegrams from Copenhagen represent the King of Denmark as surprised that his son-in-law should have so long delayed return ing Emperor William's visit, and as most anxious that this act of courtesy should no longer be deferred. Still, after so many disappointments, the statement that the Czar has decided to come next week meets with a deal of skepticism even in official circles. STTX.Ii IN DOUBT. Application at the Bussian embassy fails either to confirm or to deny the report. Court officials do not expect the Czar to arrive before September 15, but they say his plans may be changed. After that date the Kaiser's programme, including a visit to Greece, has been definitely mapped out without reference to the imp'enal meeting. It is rumored that the difficulty has arisen from a desire of the Czarina to accompany her husband. The bitter articles of the Berlin Post and other papers may be attributed to the an noyance caused by these repeated delays. The Pott declares that the only way to turn the attention of Bussia from war is for the European Powers to agree to give a free handful in Asia or the Balkans. i The marriage festivities at Copenhagen will bring a large gathering. It is esti mated that 40 members of the imperial and royal lamilies win oe present, tbe assem bling of whom gives rise to numerous be trothal rumors. The Bochum Congress was well attended. There was some disarmnint- ment over the lack of original and practical ideas for the amelioration of the condition of workingmen. THE POPE'S POWERS. Count Galen delivered the best discourse on this question. Six thousand people as sembled to hear Herr Winthorst tell of the efforts of the Centerists in behalf of the miners. The Congress adopted an address in favor of the restoration of the temporal power of the Pope. The National Gazette, apparently on the authority of the Chinese Ambassador,denies the storv that Count von Waldersee elabor ated the plan of campaign for China during the Tonquin war. The Post issnes an official denial that Germany has any designs in Crete. A MYSTERIOUS CRIME. Two Persons Found Murdered, and No Clew to the Criminal. Beownsville, Tex., August 31.

John Grass, Celebrated In Both War and Peace, is Hearing His" End Tbe Greatest Bed Man of His Time An Eloquent Orator. Fobx Yates, IT. D., August 31. John Grass, the greatchief of the Blackfeet Sioux, is seriously ill and is not expected to live. He has telegraphed to the Cheyenne Agency for White Swan, his mother-in-law, to come to his bedside. The chief, whose death is now momentari ly expected, was one of the greatest men of the Sioux nation. He was a good fighter, but was more renowned in council. He was a shrewd and intelligent observer of events, and devoted his whole life to the best interests of -his tribe. John Grass is chief of the Blackfeet Sioux, and Supreme Judge of the "nation. He is about 47 years old, is nearly six feet tall, and a perfectly formed specimen of the Indian race. In personal appearance he is a man of n singu larly pleasing face, with large, dark and brilliant eyes and fine white teeth. His manners are most suave and courtly, and he displays great tact and shrewdness. He is a Christian, and dresses in white men's clothes, and takes, a great pride in his appearance. His photographs are displayed all over the Northwest, but he has steadily refused to be photographed in Indian cos tume. He generally wears a large overcoat and a fur cap. He still wears moccasins and keeps his hair plaited. There are no Indians to-day like those so graphically de scribed in Cooper's novels or the Indian tales that used to delight tbe'average Ameri can schoolboy of 30 years ago, but John Grass comes as near to the ideal Indian of the novel, the good Indian, the noble red man, as anyone ot his race now living. Among the whites with whom he hascome in contact he has made many firm friends. General Custer knew him and liked him. very well, and General Crook was also one of his admirers "" John Grass possessed the entire confidence of his tribe, and although he was a terrible fighter in his day, his people paid equal respect to hiB judgment in time of peace. In the death ot John Grass the Sioux Na tion will lose its most gifted statesman and a truly eloquent orator. AN EMBEZZLER CAUGHT.

He Bailed from here very unexpectedly on August 8 on board the schooner Kosedale. The. fact that none of his associates were no tified of his intention to go away caused suspicion, and his accounts were placed in the hands of F. C. Smith, an expert bookkeeper, for examination. The accounts were found to be 200 short Warrants for his arrest were immediately issued. The Government chartered the steam tug Nassau from tbe Ward Steamship Company, and officers were sent after the fugitive. He was found at Long Cay, a port where steamers of the Atlas line touch on their way to and from New York. He. was brought back here to-day, arraigned at the police office, and placed in jail without bail. Counsel had him produced before. Chief Justice Austin, on) a writ of habeas corpus, and made a motion to have him released under bonds. The.Court refused to make the order and the accused official will have to stay in jail about two months, until his case can be tried. Mr. Clare is well known by hundreds of people in the United States, as he was always a liberal entertainer of tourists. EIMBERLI STILL AT SAMOA.

He reports the United States steamer Adams had not arrived at Samoa when tbe Zealandia left there, the 17th instant, but she was expected every day. It was on this account that Admiral Kimberly did not leave for San Francisco on the Zealandia. He expects to return next month. King Malietoa and several chiefs who were deported with him by the Germans two years ago, arrived at Apia from Mar shall Island on the German gunboat Wolff a few days 'before 'the Zealandia ar rived at 'Samoa.' Malietoa's return was made the occasion of general rejoicing by the natives.

Mr. Brown said that SO years ago he com manded the Pacific and some others of the famous sidewheel passenger steamers on Lake Erie and Lake Michigan.

The factory will be built at Sumnierville, 22 miles from here, the iand, having been given for the purpose. The site is in the thickest pine forest in the State. The privilege has also been offered the company of gathering pine straw from a tract of territory covering thousands of acres, so that the material forthe manufacture of bagging will cost nothing but the collecting and hauling it. It is understood that the S. C. Bailway has offered the new concern the free gift of gathering pine cones over all tbe lands owned by that company. Sev eral bales of cotton, covered with pine straw baggingwere received here last year and subjected to the severest test of screw, hook, fire and water, and stood it even better than common jute bagging. The new factory is said to be an oBshoot of the Acme Factory, at Wilmington, N. C, and is expected to begin work as soon as the building and machinery are erected. ClJNGKESS OF EBPDBLICS. A Mexican Paper Think It Cannot Help That Country Mocli. I SPECIAL TELEOKAU TO THE DISrATCB.l City of Mexico, August 31. The Pabalm National, a liberal journal, and a supporter ot the present administration, as well as a warm friend of the United States, after copying an article from an American newspaper concerning the congress of American powers to meet in Washington, makes a few remarks which are full of sig nificance. It says: With a tariff excessively protective, with measures like those adopted by Mr. Windom, Secretary of the Treasury, rejrardine onr lead ores, witn tne uinerenuai amies leviea on goods transported in Mexican vessels in Amer ican Dorts. with the foreeroine obstacles and the systematic heedlessness of American man ufacturers and merchants as regards important details of orders sent from this country, it ap pears to ns very evident that notwithstanding the assemblage of the delegation of Govern ments of America, the commercial relations of the Republic of the north with the Republic of Mexico will not be materially improved. .

A Ramble Among Art Hanot Develop Some Expert Opinions. A few moments devoted to a peregrination among dealers in art materials and works yesterday 'were 'repaid by some novel ex pressions of opinion. Several of the promi nent art salesrooms in town were visited, and, talks with the proprietors obtained. One of these gentlemen, whose store is situated on Wood street, gave quite a comprehensive account of our city's aft proclivities. He said: "The big Pitts burg milliohaireis no longer a mere ignorant 'nonvean riche.' He is a man of shrewd ness, and quite capable of sustaining the posi tion which his dollars brought him. He sees that buying oil paintings is very dan gerous, as, he is liable to be taken in over them. Consequently he fights shy of oils, and takes to water colors, or col lects rare old prints and valuable etchings. Onr business tells us that etchings are the sort of pictures which Pittsburg people like best Mr. Phipps has a fine collection of etchings and also some very valuable 'first proofs' of old prints. There are some really vriceless 'first proofs' from Landseer's pictures in East End private houses." In another salesroom the disagreeable in formation was obtained that oil painting is on the decline, in Pttsburg. "We have scarely any rising young artists," said the gentleman who gave this opinion. "I sup pose the reason is that we have no market for oils. Your rich people have been too often taken in by apochryphal Bubens and Grenze's, which the London market turns out at so much a gross, that they have grown wary. It was formerly a paying bus iness to copy old masters and sell tbem to credulous Americans as the 'real thing'. "Nojv, however, the Americans are no longer credulous, and the trade is going down. Water colors are holding their own here. A promising artist in that line is Mr. Miller, whose picture, 'High and Dry," is, in its way, quite a remarkable study." Asked concerning- Millet's "L'Angelus " about which such a pother was made in the papers, a well-known picture dealer said: "L'Angelus has been a distinct failure as an engraving. It has no sale worth talking about." All the dealers agree in saying that the taste of tbe Pittsburg lady artists lies in crayon sketches. Some very pleasing crayon effects have been produced, and studies in sepia are also fashionable.. But as for oil paintings the dealers maintain that there is no sale for themjiere. If this be true Pitts burg wielders of the brush and pallet should send their works farther afield. FOE PENNSYLVANIA DAI. Regimental Asaoclatlons Conclude Arrange, menta for the Trip.
