'
going on at the Philadelphia Navy sir ,by a
Comn2ittre of the Honer} of Representatives, con
cerning the transactions of the Bureau-of Steam
Engineering, of which Theo. Zeller is the chief.
The allegations made by that Committee were
submitted to the Secretary of the Navy, who ap
pointed a cOmmission, consisting of the Chief
Engineers of the New York and Boston
Navy Yards, and a third Chief Engineer, en
raged on detached duty in the New
England States, who made an inves
tigation into the alleged Irregulari
ties during Zeller's administration,
and they acquitted him of all censure. It is due
to the Congressional Committee to say that they
arrived at somewhat different conclusions, but
the evidence upon which they based these con
clusions was submitted to the Commission of
Engineers, who, after examining it, did not
change their convictions as to Zeller's integrity.
After this duty had been performed,the Commis
-ion was dissolved, but subsequently Mr. Zeller
gave certain information to the Navy Depart
ment, which led to the reassembling of the Com
mission, to investigate the subjects presented to
their attention by Zeller, and they have not yet
concluded their labors. It is due to all concerned
that this explanation should be made. The Cori,
gressional Committee of investigation has not
been discharged, and will probably uako a fail
report when Congress meets again.
PRESIDENT JOHNSON ABUSING RANT.
It is a matter of common notoriety here, that
President Johnson speaks in the most disparaging
terms of General Grant, whenever opportunity
offers, among ids party friendsi e - fidme people
say he hates Grant worse than lb did Stanton.
Johnson is a man of intensely bitter personal
dislikes,lnd when ho is "down on" a man, he is
not very choice in the kind of language he uses
concerning him. Grant can stand it, however,
and ,he old adage in this case, will come good,
that‘ i ' s enws, like chickens, come home to roost."

The Army of Hungary—The Militia
Bill—Size of the Standing Army—
What. it Cost Austria to Secure Peace.
[Correspondence of the Philadelphia Evening Ballet/al
VIENNA, July 21, 1868.—The Hungarian Army
bill has made another step in advance. While
the Hungarian Minister President was in this city
to get the,amendments made by the Committee
of the Diet accepted, the Committee itself drew
up its report, which was at once presented to
the. House. It is very favorable to the bill, and,
moreover, it is signed by the members belonging
to the Parliamentary minority as well as to the
majority; that is, the minority has given up the
intention which it had at first of recording a
separate opinion adverse to the principles on
which the bill has been framed and insisting on
the right of Hungary to an Hungarian army. The
amendments, as all but the most prejudiced will
admit, were moderate and practical, and could
be adopted without impairing the bill itself; In
deed,they were real improvements. The Commit
tee takes, as its starting point, the general liability
of the freemen to serve in times of war, Which
has existed ever since the beginning of the Hun
garian State. The report then goes back to 1715,
when, besides the arming of all freemen in times
of war, the regular army was introdnced, by
which the former lost in importance. No,w, by
the introduction of the militia, it has again re
gained up to a certain point its position. The
introduction of the militia is building on the old
foundation. As for the general armament pro
posed by the bill, according to which in case of
war every man from 18 to 40, who was neither in
the regular army nor in the militia, could be
ca ; li d out, the committee think it superfluous,
with a regular force in time of war of 800,000,
and a militia in which every one from 20 to 32
ho is not already in the regular army, may be
called upon to serve.
The committe does not think the 800,000 regular
troops in time of war too many, for in com
paring this number with, those of Russia, Prus
sia and France, it finds thatit only just ap
proaches that of those Powers, a fact which with
regard to Russia and Prussia, at any rate, is
open to question. If the number of 800,000 is
considerably greater than that which has been
kept up hitherto, the diminution of the years
of service in the regular army from six to three,
and the corresponding increase of liability to
service in the reserve, which can only be called
together by special order of the sovereign, be
sides the diminution effected in the peace estab
lishment,more than counterbalance the burden on
the other side. The committee sees in this bill,
- especially in the modified reduction," every
guarantee of the 'iglus of the country as stipula
ted by the laws of 1867, and it therefore recom
mends its acceptance. Finally, the committee
having become convinced by the confidential
communications of the Minister President that
the effective strength of the Hungarian regiments
has, during the last and the present year, so di-
Minithed, that, without the grant of the 17,000
recruits, they would be incomplete, and in con
sideration that other States of Europe
are unceasingly increasing their military
lo ree, proposes that until the pro
visions of the present bill can be carried into
effect during the course of the present year, these
3r4,000 men should be granted. The committee
does not propose any amendments, reserving to
its members the right to do so in the course of
the discussion in the House, when likewise those
members who do not agree with the bill on one

rr
Antonelli and Count do Sartiges respecting the
non -invitation of Catholic sovereigns to the ap
proaching general council of the Church is thus
reported: His Eminence gave two principal rea
sons for the omission—first, that the condition of
Europe is verv_different _ now from what -it was
at the period of the Council of Trent, the prin
ciple of separation between Church and State
having been more or less adopted by nearly all
Catholic governments; second, that several
Catholic sovereigns are at present not recognized
by the Court or Rome, and their governments
consequently not in diplomatic relation with the
Holy See.
The Cardinal is stated to have gone on to pro
fess the Willingness of the Pontifical government,
notwithstanding these objections, toisscie formal
invitations to the Catholic Powers on receiving
their assurance that, in return for a renewal of
the privilege they enjoyed formerly, they would
engage to afford the same material protection a
formerly to the Council during its seance and
guarantee the same execution of its decisions in
their respective-States, favoring to the utmos
the publication and promulgation of its acts
The French Ambassador, not considering himsel
authorized to accept any such stipulation, limi
ted hiniself_lo referring the Cardina's observa
lions to the Imperial government.
According to an additional on dig, Count d
Sartiges aspires to similar honors in the ap
preaching council to those granted to the repre
sentatives of the Holy Roman Empire in preced
ing ones, the rights and privileges of the German
Eiiipire having by no means descended to that o '
Austria. The mediaeval imperial embassidors
had precedence over all others In general coun
cils, enjoying besides other privileges that of a
separate seat on the right hand of the Pope's
legate and only a little lower than that
prelate. It is said that his Excel
lency has hinted that France has conferred knift
dent obligations on the Holy See to deserve a re
newal of these ancient privileges in favor of her
v p
present ambassador. The re7iesentatives of other
Catholic Powere, althoug nterested iu the same
question of participatio in the Council, are
waiting - patiently forthe decision widen Will bu -
come to between the Cardinal Secretary of State
and the French Ambassador, intending to make
use of it subsequently as a precedent In advancing
the claims of their respective Governments.

Mall Gcizette says: "There is limo-
whit .the rePresentation of Car& in ALLO next
Parliament is discussed. The Marquis oT Bute—
a youth at Oxford, and a Conservative—owns
large property in and, near that borough, now
represented by his relative, Colonel Stuart, a
Liberal, with whose ; seat Lord Bate has expreased
his disinclination to Interfere. Bat the pres
sure of party has been put noon the boy
marquis. Mr. Gifford, a sound Tory
candidate, has been • introduced to
the electors in opposition to Colonel Stuart, and
the poor youth stands perplexed between his half
promise to hisrelative not to interfere in the ap
proaching election, and the claims of the politi
cal party under whose flag he will in a few
months vote in the House of Lords. It appears
to be acknowledged on all hands that the future
M. P. for Cardiff will be returned, not by the
free votes of the electors of Cardiff, but by the
will of a young nobleman who does not seem to
know his own mind."
SUSQUEHANNA.
Interference of Peers and Daitger to
the Peerage.
(From the London Telegraph, July 2 8 .1
The interference of peers at elections promise's'
to rise to such a height in the coming contest
that, if it wore as successful as the noble intruders
desire,it might be a question whether our"lower"
Chamber should not be called the House of Lords.
The state of affairs at Cardiff is wonderfully in
structive. The town, as is generally kuown,
•'belongs" to Lord Bute. He is lord of Itte soil,
and almost of all that is then on. When he
1 nods Cardiff moves;when he frowns Cardiff trellil
bles,and when he smiles all the windows are illumi
minated and a public dinner is organized. This
happy local illustration of the well-known iruth
that Britons—especially West Britons—never
shall he - Slaws acquires new color, vividness and
force from the events of the last few days.
Colonel Stuart, cousin to the Marquis of Bate, or
else we should not venture to name him, is mem
ber for Cardiff and a Liberal. Bat the Marquis
himself is a minor, a student at Christ Church,
OXford; and, having by some mysterious means
been influenced into a fit of toryism, the. boy
has authorized his trustee to support, ag tinst
Colonel Stuart, Mr. Gifford, Queen's coon
eel, the tory candidate. What influences his
conservative relations brought to bear on the lit
tle lord we do not know; they may have prom
ised him a new cricket bat, a pony, a big gun,
"lots of holidays," no more Greek, and leave to
sit up late; at all events the boy wrote to his big
cousin, the Colonel, saying that he int nded to
give Mr. Gifford "negative support," but not to
indulge in "active antagonism' to his relation.
Thatpromise, however, did not satisfy the tory
trustee, a Mr. Boyle—he wanted
. tetore. * *
We earnestly hope, . it' --- -it-m4not asking
too much, that the liberal electors of
Cardiff—sincerely liberal by a large ma
jority—will disregard the extorted letters
and words of the young lord, and the brutally
brusque advice of the impertinent trustee, and
that Colonel Stuart will be again returned for the
seat. If not, so much the worse for marquises
next year. Every little fact that exhibits peers
in insolent opposition to the people "tells trum
pet-tongued" for the views of the tin ers in this
country—as yet a minority—who a eady talk
about transforming our hereditary C amber ineo
a Senate, with foolish boys like Lor Bate anott
incompetent old gentlemen like the Duke of Port
)
land relegated to the ''song opulence of do
nothing millionaires. ~ 4
