Pisassisin Reply to the ltrinstart
'"riranco-111notaisa Coalition. ,
• The Cologne Gazette of Novembei 1.5 makes,
the following remarks on • the theories of;
the Riosian prais as' to the present situation"
of Europe: • •
• The nomination of General - Fleury. to 'the:l
post of French Ambassador at St. Petersburg
haa . given the anti-Prussian' pressOf Rretsia an •i
opportunity of pouring forth alierfeet torrent'l
of threats against the nation theYdislike. The
Moscow Gazette is of opinion that the 'most
faith ful, friend' of the Emperor has - been
trusted with this mission for the purpose
of separating Prussia from Russia,
and • creating a good understand-,
ing between the. latter country and:
France by which the Eastern question may
be definitely settled. As soon as this plan is
carried out the influence of Germany on the .
Lower Danube and in the Balkan will be de , ;
stroyed. Such statements are made by Rus
sian organs for the mere purpose of deceit , -
ing their readers, as their political and re
ligious relations with the districti in question
are too intimate for them not to be aware that
. the North German Confederation has no po
litical mission on the Lower Danube, but that •
it is the task of Austria to hold the Russian .
influence in those countries in check, and this
she is endeavoring to do. The fact that the
Prince of Roumania has chosen a German
Princess for his consort is considered by the
old Russian organs a most inconsiderate act.
When speaking of the destruction of German
influence they really mean the expulsion of
the German dynasty from Roumania. ff the
Moscow Gazette hopes that in such a case a
Russian' prince might succeed to the vacant.
throne, we can only tecOrairiend a study Of the
causes which led to the 'Crimean war. But,
according to this paper, General Fleury has
a still more important mission. He Is
to expose Prussia':i • ambitious desigtis
on • . the:. Baltic provinces of 'l4ussia,
and to 'lnsist on the dangers accruing to the
latter State from an alliance of Austria with
Northern Germany. The paperseems to have
forgotten thatef Gen.Fleury were to attempt
to lecture statesmen of`St.Petersberg on
the best means of supporting the interests of
their country he would probably discover that
they know more of the subject than he does.
But. Jet us lam what the paper really
desires. Russia, France, Austria add
Italy are, to unite
.in forcing Prussia
to moderate her demands, to give up
her hopes with reapect to Southern G - ermany,
to loosen the connection of the Northern Con
federation and to consent to a general disarm
ament. The Emperor Napoleon has only post
poned the opening of the Chambers in order
to dazzle the opposition at the opening of the
session by the splendor of his foreign policy
and to announce to them the re-establish
ment of the balance of rimer by means of the
humiliation of Prussia.
An Important Prelate—Who IN lie?
An English exchange says: •
'it - is not too much to say that one of the
most important men in France at this hour is
3lonseigneur Dupanloup, Bishop of Orleans.
But Who is be? The question - has been often
asked, but seldom satisfactorily _answered.
On the one hand he is said by some to be the
son of Charles X.; and those who judge from
personal appearance alone, might have some
show of reason on their side, inas
much as the Bishop bears a remarka
ble resemblance to the last Bourbon king.
Others connect him • with Talleyrand. All
that is known of 3ionsiegneur Dupanloup's
past life is that in consequence of certain in
formalities about his birth there were some
difficulties at Rome about his ordination.
Shortly after taking orders he became cure
of the parish of St. Roch, at Paris, and was
always employed by the Court in baptizing,
preparing for confirmation, &c., the various
members of the Royal Family. He was sub
seauently transferred to, - Tours, where he re
mained as grand-vicaire until his promotion
to the see of Orleans in UV:
The Pall ifall Gazette says
Let France rejoice—the Prince Imperial has
smoked his first cigarette! France is de
lighted, the army is enchanted, the cigarette
smoking ladies are greatly interested. Come,
however, frown—namely, the Anti-Tobacco
Society, and those who regard the important
performance of the cigarette as a step towards
emancipation and the Imperial majority. But
they are alone, unless it be that the Prince
himself sympathizes with them, as doubtless,
at his age, and for the first time, the taste of i
tobacco s anything but agreeable.
The Duke of Genoa and the Vacant
The Pall Mall Gazette of istov. Xd says :
General Prim is said to have declared at a
private meeting of the majority of the Cortes,
held on Sunday night, that he had the pledged
word of the King of Italy that the Duke of
Genoa should accept the Spanish Crown if it
were offered to him ; and that neither the
Duchess of Genoa nor Signor. Rapallo had
ever manifested any opposition, to the pro
posal. The statement is reiterated by the
htipciat,which4leclareetthat the Times knows
nothing about the matter. This morning,
however, the Times says: "We are fully
authorized to declare that the Duke of Genoa
and the Duchess, and Marquis Rapallo have
always entertained insuperable objections to
the scheme. General Prim asserts that he has
thepledged word of the King of Italy; but
surely the ICing of Italy would never think of
forcing his nephew's inclinations in that re
spect, nor would the Spanish nation accept
the boy-Idng crowned itt spite of himself."
THE DALMATIAN .TROI7D/dES.
A. Prospective Disturbance.
The Moscow Gazette of the 16th of Novem
ber says that "at this moment events are oc
curring - which might produce a terrible catas
trophe if France and Russia were on such
bad terms as people in Berlin and London
would wish them to be." These menacing
"events," it appears, are the insurrectionary
movements in Dalmatia. "All the world
knows," says the Moscow Gazette,"that Austria
wished to march her' troops through
the provinces of Turkey and also through.
Montenegro,which Power the Sultan does not
cease to regard as a Vassal of Turkey." The
consequence "of a violation of Montenegrin
territory," the Gazette thinks, "would have
been certainly very unfavorable to the tran
quality of Europe." "But," it adds, on the
faith of its Paris correspondent, "Russia has
requestsd Austria not to allow her troops to
pass through Montenegrin territory; and
.Austria, being persuaded that France shares
the opinion of Russia, has changed her plans,
and has solemnly proclaimed that she will
respect the neutrality of Montenegro."

, • •TIIE 4 ECUMENICA/4 COUNCIL,
' Its Chareietpr Objects.
The assemblage at Rome of Bishops of the,
"Catholic Apostolic, Church" ,'communloa
;with the See of Rome and acknowledging the,
spiritual headship of the chief pastor, of that
see, will be formally opened, with 'most int-,
pressive ceremoniea,.to r day. All the Bishops
of that . Church were summoned to
this ,;.-.Universal, Council, --_but . only
;ahoUt two-thirds of them have been able
'to respond to the summons. Some have,
been kept away by illness ; others by troubles
or pressing cares; while those residing within.:
-the Russian Empire have been forbidden to
'attend by the Emperor. It is a gratifying- .
cir
cumstance that, whereas, the bst previous
Council (that of Trent, early in
the XVlth century) was largely at
tended by the reprtsentatives of secular
princes and 'potentates, and was in, fact
called at the instance of. the Emperor Charles
V., this Council was called by the Pope on his
own suggestion or that of his Cardinals, and
that no provision has been made for tke admis
,sion of representatives of Catholic kingdoms
or states, and no invitation extended to them.
We trust this is a premonition of that complete
divorce of Church and State which we have
found so beneficent. And we trust that Roman
Catholics everywhere are noting the fact that,
while speculauon has been rife as to the attend- ,
ance of the French and other Bisbops—many ,
believing that these, like the Russian, would
be prevented by the civil power—every &Slump
in this country was perfectly free to go or strty.-
aS he pleased, ancithat no, one ever suggested
that it would be either right or expedient tie
,restrain them. If any remain, it is not be
cause our government, or any non-Catholic,
'has raised a finger to prevent them.
* * * *
The fact that this Council is held at Rome,
and that political or secular influence has been
carefully excluded, gives color to a report,
which we find circulating in anti-Catholio
channels only, that it will be pressed to ad
judge"and pronounce the Infallibility of the
Pope a dogma or article of the Catho
lie Faith. The Jesuits, it is said, and
that party in the church character
ized in. France and other trans-
Alpine countries as ultra-mont.ape, ardently
desire such a declaration, and Have had this
Council called on purpose to achieve this end.
The report may be well founded ; but it seems
to us intrinsically improbable, not merely be
cause the spirit of the age is plainly unfavor
able to such a step,but because it would seem
to stultify not only the present Council, but
all its predecessors. The gathering in Je-
rusalem narrated in Acts xv. is regarded by
the Roman (and we believe also by the
Greek) Church as the first Christian Council;
and that was plainly the time and place to
set forth this dogma, if it were ever to be
done. Had the Apostles and Elders seen fit
then and there to say, "Peter has been cora
missioned and qualified with infallible wisdom
,by the Saviour to lead, to guide and govern
His Church so long as he remain upon ,
earth ; , at his death, his successor as
Bishop of Rome shall inherit, his •
authority and kis infallibility," the'
whole matter would have been settled, forever.
But not alone that Council, but every Council,
had been a blunder and a solecism 'if the ,
dogma of Papal Infallibility is now to be re
ceived; since, in that case, there has always

The Mormon Assault upon an Editor—.
His Story of His Unpleasant Experi
ences.
(From the Chicago Republican, Dec. 5.]
Mr. J. H. Beadle, editor of the Utah Re
publican, published at Corinne, Utah, was in
the city yesterday. Mr. Beadle is the man who
received such a severe
_pounding at the
hands of the "Saints" of Brigham City four
from weeks ago, the effects of which he has
not yet fully, recovered. He was formerly a
resident of this city, and is a very shrewd and
agreeable . gentleman. From him we learned
the Mormons :
the followingparticalars of his trouble among
Some months ago Mr. Beadle went to
Corinne, on the line of the Union Pacific
Railroad, and engaged in the publication of
the Utah Reporter. Corinne he describes to
be a town of about 1,000 inhabitants, nine
miles from Brigham City, which is the county
seat, and the consequent location of the
Courts. It is a Mormon town, while Corinne
is almost exclusively settled by Gentiles. Be
tween the two towns, or their inhabitants,
rather, there has been considerable strife,
which was not materially lessened by the arti
cles at various times published in the Reporter,
with particular reference to the Probate Court,
of which Elder Smith is judge. At its first
settlement the people of Corinne refused to
acknowledge the jurisdiction of the Mormon
Courts, but subsequently they gained more
confidence, wick gradually threw their business
in that direction. •
On the occasion which resulted so disas
trously' ,to Mr. Beadle, thateentleman, with
same half a dozen others, had gone to Brig
ham City on legal business. He remained
there until the close of the court, in the after
noon. Immediately thereafter, he left the
court-room; and, having got separated from
his friends, walked out of the building. On the
steps stood a dozen or more overgrown "dis c
ciples," among whom was a son of this samaa
Judge, or Elder, Smith. As Mr. Beadle
passed down tliiq steps this ruffian sprang at
and knocked him down. As he fell,there was
a general rush made, and he was kicked and
beaten in the most terrible manner. His scalp
was frightfully torn in several places, and his
chest was terribly bruised. Mis left shoulder
was broken and twisted in such a manner as
to leave his arm nearly useless. Having
pounded and kicked him till their thirst .for
vengeance was satiated, they left him on the
ground. His friends found him in that condi
tion and took him home.
This rekindled the old feud between the two
places. A. mob at once gathered in Corinne,
and for a while there were dire threats of the
sacking of Brigham City. The few Mormon
families who lived in the former place were
waited upon, and they and their effects bun
dled out of town. There was great excite
ment for a while, as it was generally believed
the deed was instigated by the Secret Council,
an institution among the "Saints," equalled
only by.the Spanish Inquisition, or Venetian
"Council of Ten," which existed in the Middle
Ages. The leaders of the Mormons promptly
denied this, however, and the affair quieted
down: Mr. Beadle has not been able to at
tend to business since, and will not be, proba
bly, for-some months. He Is now on his way
to visit relatives in Indiana where he will re
main until after the holidays. He will then
go to Washington and, endeavor to ]get
some la* enacted for the greater protection
of those "Gentiles" who reside in Mormondom

Dying Statement of John Eckel.
(From the Albany Argm, Dec. T.]
After the announcement had been made to
Eckel that he must die, we are informed that,
at the suggestion of a prominent citizeit,
Etkel's partner In slime , Callicut,had an it
terview with him, for the purpose of draWinZ
from him any disclosures he might feel dis
posed to make in regard to the murder ..of
1)r. Burden It is stated that Eclrel
emphatically declared that he was en
tirel,y guiltless of any connection
A MORMON OUTRAGE.,

ceded him up stairs to his room • that she
stopped on the way up stairs and closed
Burdell's bedroom door;'that she accompanied
him to his own bedroomdoor, where he left
her, looked - his door and retired to bed;
and. that he was entirely ignorant of
the murder until after discovery
of the body. This statement was made a shed
time before his death', and in view of the fact
that his physician bad informed him that his
end was near and that he could not 'possibly
survive. Given under such solemn eircum
gances,it will doubtless be generally believed,
especially as, while it exonerates himself, it
adds one more link to the chain of testimony
which pointed to Mrs. Cunningham as the
murderess of Dr. Burden.
AMIISENIENTS.
" PATRICE" . AT• THE. CHESTNUT.
—Emancipation of Ireland might not prove
a blessing to the Irisli eople,but without doubt
it would produce results most satisfactory to
theatre-goers. As long as the iron rule of
Britain holds that island in thrall, so long will
Irish drama rest upon a foundation .of senti
mental hatred of England and sentimental
sympathy for the oppressed `lrish people, A
little heroic aphievement, romantic adventure
and sanguinarytragedy,built upon this basiii,are
well enough,but a great deal of them becomes
tiresome. We want novelty and variety. A
magnificent young Iristunan who possesses
all the Christian virtues and such misplaced,
confidence in his country that he believes it
the best on earth and desires to die
for it, is a clever fellow; but when
we have seen him a couple ,of
hundred times, loved by the same sweet
maid, blessed by the same punch-drinking
priest, attended by the identical 13ridgets in,
caps and Patricks in small clothes and shilla
lehs, all of whom are ready to perish for him,
be becomes too familiar to Inspire hearty
respect. What we want now Is, an Irish
drama without 'a jig, a drinking scene, an
"och," an " arrah" or a " bedad." Let us have
a play without a patriotic refugee., without a
swarm of acarletcoated myrmidons, who are
led through impossible mountain passes by a
degraded .outcast of an informer, only to be
beaten in a most incomprehensible manner by
a crowd of unarmed peasantry. We admit
that Ireland is a fine country; we will not
deny that she has wrongs—we will even ac
knowledge that the , woe in - which she
)s plunged is the very deepest, darkest, most ,
unutterable woe of any woe that ever afflicted •
a people ; and we will not ctispute the assertion
that her sons are willing for her sake ,to per
'Nit themselves to be chopped up into small
particles at any,given moment: But we have
had enough of that side of the story, Now we
ought to have the British version, with the
heroism in , that interest. The dramatist who
will write a play of this kind will deserve a
monument. Better still, the British govern
ment that will free Ireland, and so dampen
the ammunition of these Irish , playwrights,,
will win the gratitude of the ,w0r1d.,,, Any
newspaper would support a Minister Who
would ruin Irielt patriotic drama and hake:
Barney Williams ari impossibility,
Patrice, or The If7lite 4ady of. Wiel lota, pro
duced at the CYestniit Street Thealre last
night, is an Irish play of the class to arluch we
have alluded. ' kdmitting that there is Much,
es - cellent but completely used up material in
such dramas, this is an admirable one: In
deed, we may go so far as to say, that of all
recent plays of the kind this is about the best.
It contains all the venal mountain adventures,
the pursuits, terrific combat?, jigs, drinking
bouts, kac., but the motive is a pleasant
love story, which is told cleverly and with not
a little ingenuity. Besides this, the piece is
filled with exciting incidents which
will not fail to interest even
the accustomed spectator; and they are
arranged with so much skill that the climaxes
are reached imperceptibly . and naturally, but
in such a manner that: their full force is ex ,
pressed. One, of the Most attractive features
of the entertainment is the scenery, which is
sometimes losolutely beautiful, but at all,
times unusually handsome. There ii one effect
that deserves especial mention. The " White
Lady" is a spectre who exercises some
peculiar influence upon the persons of the
play., She appears in the fourth act upon the
JAM at the back' of the stage, and we must
say that in this instance the scene was man
aged with consummate skill, and without any
of that clumsiness which usually makes a stage
ghost ridiculous. We have seen all kinds of
ghosts, from the disembodied spirit of Hamlet
pe're, drifting around in' blue gauze, to the pre
posterous stereoscopic apparition summoned
up by. a Kensington fortune-teller, and this
beats them all. Hprotecting spirits were all
as good looking as this one, every man would
want to be a medium, and have a guardian
an e l hovering about.
The play is performed in a very creditable
manner by Miss Keene and her company.
Miss Keene herself assumes the part of the
heroine and plays it gracefully. Mr. Mordaunt
acquits himself handsomely in the role of the
persecuted patriot. If a more dastardly vil
lain than Mr. Vining Bowers (as "Blake") ex
ists upon this hemisphere, we should like to
knew it so that we may call the attention of
the police to him; and the kindest thing we
can say of Miss Laurens is, that if she' - lived
next door to us and sang in that distracting
manner every evening, we would submit to
any ixtortionatp demands from our landlord
without a murmur, rather than move.

A correspondent of the Cincinnati Glatette,'
writing from Aberdeen, under date of Noimtia ,,,,

I must, tell you about Miss Smiley, of Baiti-• . .
more, United States. She is a Quaker lady—
or in the languag of- the vrable
reapectable body of e
Christians venerable
which sh ane oe!
belongs, an "approved minister of the Society.

into the city saying, Come see a man who tot 1
me all things that , I ever did; is not thia.f

dentials f t roin ono of the great brariches
of the Christian Church, her good'
works seen and her good works heard'
of men, the clergymen who, opened: their-,
pulpits to her were arraigned and reprimand
by the (Free Cburcii) Presbytery. She preached..
in the Lerwlek Cathedral, and in several other "
Orcadian pulpits, to crowded • and , detiply-int- -1
pressed etingregations. The Prespytery eft
Orkney came to the rescue •of their-single-
barrelled pulpits, and ktia a censure on ,the
under-shepherds, who "reeognized'qheir ais
ter under-shepherds. They have'replied to the'
'censure with boldness and pungenoy, and eon--
eluded with saying :
Notwithstanding the threatened pain's and;,

, to be bound by any injunction of the , Presity-s
tery, which, they conceive, ban no warrant ,
'either in the Word of 'God, rightly inter-,

The presbytery have dene nothing more ,
than to appoint a committee , to make out an
answer to the ohstreperous clergymen, which
'they have ddne, closing with reminding those : .
disobedient gentlemen of their promise at'or- '
dination "to submit themselves willingly and"
'humbly in the spirit of meekness unto the ad
monitions of the brethren of this presbytery."
One of the newspapers says the presbytery,
are. "afraid to kindicate their authority bvany . •
stronger measures, in view of the extretual
'popularity which the female ministry appears
to enjoy . among the island population." :
"the demand for 31iss Smiley's pulpit laborst ;
