PAnts, Tuesday, July 27,1869.—We are in a
- state of almost suspended animation after the
polnieal , exeitement of the last few weeks.
iy Indeed, nearly,eyeuthing which still eontin
ued to give life or movement to Faris has
—tiownToff-Avith -- the - linal - prorogation - of -- the
Chamber, and the political has now followed
tlie fashionable world in the universal emi
gration. To be sure, we are looking forwurd
to the assembling of the. Senate. But that
body of legislators has never been regarded as
One of a very character; and, I doubt
much :whether its reappearance' on the, scene
at this unusual period of the year will avail
to retort to us, any semblance'even of galoty.
,True, its deliberations are about to if 'Mit
exactly "big with - the fate of Cato and of
. 1lome," at least of vital import to the present
a.spirations and future liberties of Abe French
people. Bnt many persons shake their heads
as they look, up towards the elevated
regions , of, the Upper , Assemoly Of
the French Legislature,' and • cry,
indeed, with a smile, Monies parturient!
But they do so with a shrug of Abe shoulders
and a gesture which seems td indicate that
they are only waiting for the'right moment, to
complete the sentence by the addition of nes- ,
eitur rAlieubis nuts! And . in fact, though so
many other people have left Paris within the
last' few - days, I regret to say that the "wrong
man" still favors us with his company. The
ex-Minister of State, whose health was sup
posed to be so broken dOwn by, his exer
tions in the service of his Imperial. mas- ,
ter that he even, spoke of a "definitive re-
tirenunt" from public life, has. "retired"
no further than the Palace and pleasant ,gar
dens of the Luxembourg, where he is now
formally installed as President the Senate,
and seems to tit 'watching, like a cat, beneath

It is expected that the Government will en
deavor to make the proclamation of the new
reforms coincide with .;the f4te of the loth
August, so ' as to give additional eclat to the
Centenary of Napoleon I. There will be a
three dare celebration of the faitival in Paris,
which will be graced probably also on this oc
casion with the presence of the entire Court,
and a largo muster of the members of the
Bonaparte family, unless the latter should,
after all, take heart of grace, and •'go off
to Corsica.,;;Speaking of them reminds me of
a remark recently attributed, to the Prince
Napoleon. He was visiting the other day his
chiluteau and estate on the banks of the Lake
of Geneva, and intimated ranch desire to a
friend who was with him to enlarge the pro
perty by fresh- purchases. •visitor`

the Prince,with his 'usual plainness of speech,

which had prevailed at Marseilles and , gone',

The Loudon Post thinks the civil Powers
have done wisely to take no steps in regard to
the approaching Council at 'Rome. Nothing.
would suit Rome better just now than to have
a colorable pretext for a cryof persecution.
Very soon things much move important than
this. Council will turn. Rome in non itself,
and a boastful effort to bold an ecumenical
Council will have to give place to a vital strug
gle for temporal power.' Events more rapidly,
the pope is of a great age, andthere is great .
disorganizatien amongst hisfiiends. It is.evert
poissible that the Council may not be held at
all. ' But if it be, those who have
settled convictions on the points

to become unsettled, while ' the increasingly
large number of those who, care for none of
these things will not find their apathy,aroused

lignius thought is , ;stiniug so actively that
nothing will .triumph but that which com

Churches, it is not wtablishment or disestab

can make or unmake a Church, but the ; mea
sure of real truth which it contains, and its
own fidelity to that truth.

(Front the Lundon Star, July 21.]
The forthcoming (Ecumenical Council is very
naturally making a considerabb3 stir in the'ect.
elesiastical Dr. Cumming, as we all
know, intends to take part in it if he can
overcome the preliminary dilliculties---tirst, of
getting in; and secondly, of speaking - inLatin
after he has obtained admission. Dr. Pusey
has taken a step, not so bold, perhaps no more
effective, but one which will probably com
mand considerale respect among the thought
ful Roman Catholics. Re has written a book,
full of recondite :,ecclesiastical lore, and too
learned and technical for review, but
of which the practical upshot is, that
Dr. Posey really believes that there is yet a
chance for a reunion between the, Roman
Catholic Church and the Reformed Churches. _
hiraself "approXimatea so nearly to the
Roman Catholic Church that-to-kis own mind
the idea probably seems to be hardly vision
ary. But we believe that Dr. Pusey is greatly
in advance even of the great body of
Churchmen in this country. — His simple diffi
culty seems that of, MarioLatry—a
however, which has not prevented Dr. , New
man from-being constant to the Church to
- which lie went over. Dr. Pusey seems to
think, that lie sees his way to a general coin
preht n.sion if only the Council will" explain
away or remit to pious oblivion" •the dogma
of the Iminaculatii-ConcePtion. Even if he
obtained his , point we- are afraid he
would be as far off the attainment of
his object as ever he was. But he
has not the slightest chance of obtain
ing the simple object to which he has limited
himself. lie might have had a chance before
1854, but in 18.54 the Roman `Catholic Church
petrified au opinion into a dograa. It is ex
tremely improbable that that Church should
adopt any, progressive measure which it would
itself consider to be retrograde. Dr, Pusey
baseS his work on a learned collection of pas
sages made centuries ago by'a certain cardinal
for the Council of BaWe. The cardinal was
not allowed to read it to this Council, and the
work was forgotten for centuries: We are
afraid that their fate adumbrates • what inay
happen to Dr. Pusey. Despite What we may
consider, hiS errors, we respect •Dr. Pusey for
his virtue, simplicity and learning; but:never
since Don Quixote fought the windmill has
there been a' more. Quixotic attempt than this
to convince a Roman Catholic Council against

THE HARVARD CREW.
Comments of the London Piress.
[From the Times, July 28.1 ,
The Harvard crew were .out yesterday for
the first time on' the London water a. 4 a emu
plete crew, and various were the opinions ex
pressed as , to their qaPabilities. , Theie' boat
being made ready, the. American oarsmen em-
barked shortly after noon from the. London
Club Boat-house, and paddled . up to the Crab
Tree, between Putney andHammersmith
Bridges at low - water,
and, turning round,
rowed back to Putney. They were out again
in the evening, between five and six o'clock,
and rowed up to Mortlake against the ebb
tide, where they • turned and rowed - back to
their boathouse, accompanied on both• occa
sions by Henry Kelley, the waterman, who
was sculling. Their boat when seen
afloat is very different in appearance from the
best English racing craft. She sits high in the,
water forward and aft--tliat is to say; at both
ends—being compa.ratively low in the middle.
The oarsmen appeared to be placed a long way
apart. with a greater distance intervening be
tween .Nos. 2 and 3 than is usual in this coun
try. Indeed, instead;of all four men sitting
equislistinit, they sit, as it were, two and two.
The coxswain, too, is placed at an unusual dis
tance away from the stroke oar, and con.se
quently the crew do not, present that compact
appearance that, one is accustomed - to see in an
Luglish four. Their boat.can scarcely be said
to carry them well, as she trims by the head,
running her bows, very, deep at'the end of each
stroke, and riding unnecessarily high at the
stern. The firm of .J. St, S. Salter have been
commissioned to build the'Americans a racing
four.aS quickly , as possible, and, they will row
in whichever boat they think fastest. - As re
gards the oarsma.uship of the men but Ittle
can be said, because, in the first place, they
are upon strange water; secondiy, ; they have
had no practice for about three weeke and,
finally, they are as yet unaccustomed to their
heat, in which;we undetostand.theyl have'nly
rowed once or twice before. Their pulling is
slightly different front the 'English , style, as it
is somewhat shelter; 'with' Much leus , body
swing, and is , also xery deep, whereas
it is considered a sine quo non in this
country to dip the oar very lightly. Again, all
the men db not row equally well, although they ,
are very nicely together. The President and
some other members of the Oxford University
Boat Club visited the Harvard oarsmen to-day
to. arrange about the match, but as the latter
stipulated for smooth water and a calm clay,
no definite selection was trade for the day of
the race, although it was agreed that it should
be rowed on one of four das , s—viz.: either the
23d, 24th, 25th or Nth of August. The first
mentioned day would be highly inconvenient,
the 2',,Sfof August being fixed for the second
day's racing_of the Thames_National „Regatta,
ter watermen.
[ From the Morning Pod, July 3.J
The Harvard collegians went out in their
boat yesterilay for the first time since they
have been in England, and their style of row
ing, coupled with their extraordinary muscu
lar development, has created the impression
tbatibey_are a..zood - sere`w - ,:although - rough
and out of form; but it is a montlite - thetim - 1
-of the race,- and= erathat natinehtlesvontierf el
change will take place. In the morning they
went out for a short paddle,and-in-the-even=
ing :to Barnes and back,_accompanied by
Harry:Kelley, the ex-champion, who be -
their__mentor, _ of
Spanish. cedar -- longer= ::than ( - 7 - UM, but
flat bottomed and very -roomy; in fact,
just the class of boat to carry
men of their weight and power. They
have a good reach forward, and dash the boat
along at a tremendous pace, but miss the first
part of the stroke, although they keep good
time. Two of the oars did not catch the water
at right angles, but this is owing perhaps to
the tbowl cords being too high, and throwing
the oar up and out of position as it, comes for
ward for the stroke. One essential, however,
they possess—the use of the legs—and keep
their bodies in fine precision, 'both with swing
and time; they feather also too low, but this
will soon be got over, and no doubt theyr will
shortly change their very heavy oars for lighter
ones, which will be a great improvement.
The Oxford crew ran down to - Putney yester
day morning to have a look at them.
• [From Bell's Life, July z3.J
The Harvard crew made their first appear
ance on the Thames yesterday morning, and,
as might be expected, the aquatic touts mus
tered in considerable force on the tow-path at
Putney to witness the performance, which,_
however, was limited to a quiet paddle up the
Reach and back. In the evening,
shortly befoke haff-past five, they again got
afloat from the London hard, and rowed
leisurely up to Barnes, whence after a brief
rest, they returned to Putney with the ebb. It
would be '
of course, unfair to ,assume that
this, their preliminaky spin, offered any ade
quate criterion of their real form, inasmuch as
at present they must necessarily be, to a cer
tain extent, stale after their voyage across the
Atlantic; but, judging from what we saw of
them yesterday, we cannot help thinking they
have yet a good deal to learn if our .English
notions on the subject of " style " are well
founded, They 'are unquestionably an ex
tremely powerful crew—keep good time, and'
sit their boat very steadily, but they all exhibit'
a marked tendency to do their work with their
arms rather' than °with the body and• legs,
and,, with;; the exception of their stroke,
Mr. Simmons;:who is decidedly the most
,
finished oarsman Of the lot, seem never to
get fairly hold of the water until the oars are
nearly at tight angles with the boat. They
are also somewhat dead " on the chest,
and, consequently, slow in the' recovery. ' As
we have before remarked, however, it would
lie,unfair to judge of, their pretensions from a
fika'performance ; indeed, it is by no means
,unlikely that the short-comifigs to which .we
have called attention may arise in a great mea
sure from the • fact that they are'unaccustomed
to row on tidal'water, and, we lave no doubt
that a little more practiee, - under the 'care of
Harry _Kelly, mho, we Understand, has • been
engaged in • the capacity of. i f'coach,"
see them in : much better form.
To , all anpearance, they,_, will require
verylittle training, all ,foUr ;being even thus
early in very; faik condition: - The Oxford four
paid a visit to Putney Yesterday, and had an
linen/10v with the 'Harvard =enter the pur
pose of making arrangements as' to the time
and place of the match, and we:understand it
was definitely settled for it to come off over

ersmay be interested in the observations of
one of their number front that popular resort,
Long Branch. To some who have never vis
ited it, a brief description will direct future
•
expectations. A pleasant, unpretending
vii
lage, in the eastern part of New Jersey, is
separated from the ocean by an extended pla
teau of land which is not duplicated by any
part of the 'Atlantic coast. This plateau is
barren of trees or undergrowth, anti ends ab
ruptly at the beach in a bluff about thirty feet
above it. This bluff faces — nearly due east,and,
paralleled to its general direction, about sev
enty-five feet distant, a carriage road, four or_
five miles long, bas been laid out. A lawn in
tervenes, the thorn verdure of which is only
broken by a foot-path close to the bluff; and
an occasional pavilion on this gives the strol
ler an opportunity-to-contemplate at leisure
the fascinating monotony of theLsea,_orthe
cluster of excited-bathers at-its-foaming edge.-
Rude bath -houses are situa :d in $
close beneath the bluff. •

extended wings of two, and surrounded,-at=
each story with piazzas and balconies. — More
or less ornamental wood-work suggestive of
cotton lace, is the only attempted relief to a
cheap appearance which all partake of. They
are scattered at very irregular distances. The.
Atlantic and Metropolitan are upon the lonely
part of the road north of the •approach from
the station. The Continental Mansion House
and United States, in social proximity, imme
diately south. The Pavilion, more' isolated;
and, nearly a mile further, ,Howlands and the
slender-columned Stetson House. Cottages,
shops and restaurants are scattered along the
entire distance, but show a preference for the
neighborhood of the three, closest hotels.. The
cottages interest the stranger more when he
bears of their occupants, than from their ac
tual appearance, as they do not surpass the
framed residences of many a modern village.
So much to give an idea of the 'dace which
Philadelphians may attain after an uninter
esting journey of four hours, and which per
sons from New York can reach in half of the
time with a delightful sail down the bay as an
additional inducement; such advantages, as
Sunday approaches, being too great for the
comfort Of all who ,make a prolonged stay.
Sunday is the geUeral holiday of the Metropo
litans, and their inroad as it nears is a kind of
breaker upon the milder ebb and flow of the
week. The every-day routine depends some
what upon the hours at which meals are
served in therdiflerent hotels, and upon the ap
pointed time for bathing, which varies with
the tide; but, by common consent, 'the morn- - ..
mg' is occupied in excursions, parlor gossip,
walking, reacting of novels and papers, and.
playing, of games; the afternoon in napping,
dressing, driving, and promenading ; and the
evening in dancing, conversing, and visiting
hotels or the tottages where 0110 may be ac
quainted. •
The arrival of trains, and the playing of the
band, have their, influence, which varies, ac
cording to individual interest ortaste.
At about five in the afternoon, the driving
excitement commences, and 'in pleasant
weather devclopes ,an astonishing variety of,
attractive equipageS: Fashion', - and a desire
for noteriety, , here find'an opportunity,' and
take advantage of it. Elegance , and wealth' •
are personified:with more or less success, , and.
all rolls on gaily until 'husbands and fathers
arrive from ,the city:and__arci • conyeyed,
to their , hotel,' or dissipates,
the throng" to,, pteparo:•, tor; qtaeven
ocOupation. CloaW'seisrfs, tind*blains
vanish fiem the drive; While time occupants Ofs
'back rooms have their ;prospect animated
an accumulation of wrangling or jeering and
jolting coachmen, shorn of their dignity and
EMI2M
finding their place in, the social scale without
difficulty. Strollers upon , the' bluff See every
sail which they have watched pale in the grey,
Cool; atmosphere of early•eveningv and, dis-:
turbed in their reireries, reflect that it 'is time
for supper. The meals are, good at most of the
hotels:- and the who escape, or - overeome the
irritatinff
,complaint incident to the drinking
of the li me-water , ,in tise, do justice to them.
Whatever 'people may attribute it ta
indiscretion in eating, cold bathing, or some
complaint of long standing, • there are sure to
be several in each hotel 'after whose -health it
needs be a daily court e sy to inquire:
Few suffer from bathing, as the proportion ,
Who enjoy it; are , small. 4 The beach is steep,
and the danger sufficient to warrant the eaten-.
lion of the limits of - safe',.hathingaud.'
thedallYannonticement of the helm' when it
may best be, , indulged in. Following, thmi;
precautions one can enter the water witheut'
tear, but .no confidence acquired •in fresh' .
water swimming should, Iliave its influence.
It is, by ,testiniony • . of;;,. one , of the-,
regular ' bathers, those who .have this
experience for, whom "is felt %the , gpatest,
anxiety. ;Such. persons are fearless in the
quiet waters of a river' 'MO hear enough
about the buoyant qualities of salt water to
rather abate than increase caution; but in the
constant gliding, tossing, and wrestling 6f the
waves they have to exert a force and undergo
a strain (in the shoulders particularly) which
they do not realize until eilbrt becomes imPer
ative. • They swim given distancetrom the.:
beach, and, nly in attempting, to return, lind
that thrice the, exertion is necessary, and if
not yigorous enough for , this, sufferthe copse
quences. - These may be fatal, as has been too
often proved; and with the lack of all needed
appliandes for restoration of life,the risks of
hardihood are not'worth taldng.
- The neglect to provide such things, as a pliy-,
sician might need at a moment's notice, is
ahnost criminal at such a popular resort as
;Long Branch. The constant attendance of a
physician during bathing hours Would not, in
deed be too great a public demand., So much
regarding the ld'eal attraction, however, for
persons reasonably prudent,' is pleasant and
invigorating as needs be..
Now to speak of society` The Hebrew
element is very prevalent. There are few of
the hotels where it is not conspicuously so,
and a cosmopolitan New Yorker might, find
numbers of acquaintances among • the
pronounced beauties of^ the race. •Soirie
houses, however, are otherwise occupied.
Of these Howland's may he mentioned as the
resort of well-known and rather exclusive'
Philadelphians, who play croquet, ride, flirt
and patronize the' entertainments of 'other,
hotels according to their success; the Mansion
House as the equally social and select, abode
of New Yorken, aml a very pleasant central
resort; the United States, which "is` rather
negative than positive in its' characteristics,
and, finally, Stetson's, the hotel, which, , from
IN - spacious halls, public rooms, piazzas
and high ceilings, - has the best claim
to the name, while perhaps lacking the
geniality of smaller houses. It may clabu
more style and a company less dependant upon,
each other for their enjoyment. A' greater
number of carriages are generally in its neigh=
borhood, although other hotels haven fair pro
portion, a majority of all being private. The
public eonveyances consist of emriibuses, bet-,
- Tonging to the different hotels and, somewhat
resembling those of ,our engine • companies,
which run with more or less frequency be,-
tween the depot and their several ,destina.= ,
tons, and are always subject to public demand.
A general idea of the occupation of time by
boarders has been given, 'but hardly less in
teresting than the event of the day to 'an ob
server are those intervals during it whempeo
ple sit along . upon the low-shaded balconies
andpiazzas in front of their respective pruni
tively furnished rooms, and remind one tbr all
the world of so ninny swallows under the edge
of a sand-bank, every one occupied with some
little occupation or confusion, and all utterly
oblivious to general regard..
But the day wears on, the sun descends, the
fair bather's hair is dry, the 'nap is over, the
novel is read or the letter written. Anxiously-

The Chicago Episcopal War.
The Cheney Ecclesiastical Court, in Chicago,
has published its "solemn, protest" against the
action of the Supptior...Court. in, that city, and
puts upon record a declaration of its rights, - as
follows : , .
1. That civil courts, as such, cannot and
ought not to interfere by prohibition or in
junction with courts spiritual and ecelesiasti
cal, in any manner whatever.
2. That courts spiritual or ecclesiastical, in
all their proceedings, are governed not by canon only, but by usage; and that usage in
matters spiritual or t cclesiastical derives its
origin from the same source, and prevails to,
the same extent, that "common law" does
civil matters.
3. The civil courts, as such, cannot and ought
not to assume or exercise, revisory powers
over, proceedings in spiritual or ecele.siastical
courts, In order to set aside- their: verdicts or
reverse their decision; and that, in all'exereise'
of any right of' inquiry that may exist
sisect to civil or property, interests- after- final
decision is bad in the case, civil courts - - are
bound-by such eunstntction and such infaerpre- •
tation as spiritual courts may, determine , and
4. That civil courth can interpose to, effect
relief only in cases of dunage or injury. eIIBII
- from acts of which such courts came pro
perly take Cognizance; that, nndaa. prospeo
tive right of employment ea al' 'clergyman, and
conseoent 'salary, does not coostitute such a
• case. 'The' right of a'minister to`, employment
and salary is' not.absolute, like the owhership
of Property, real or chattel,-.but a conditiOnal
