THE COENCIL AT ROHE. '
Te grata Connell of the Church of Rome is
now in itS second ..naonth pi' exiltence, and, it
seenis to hare made no 'progress towards the
settletutmt.of the variotts'questions that were
to einne before it. The reasons for this are
f rx:4 lard to divine. The Pennell' as intended,
by Pope Pitts to do something towards restoring
mwer . of Papacy,' which :has - been
steadily,declinink'ever since his accession. In
additiOnto 'losing temporal authority in the
greater portion of that section of Italy known
:as the Pontifical States, he has, :lost his quasi
power over All the 'rest ; the ' TWo ,
icklies,Tuscany,Modena,Parma,totribardy and
Venetia. Austria has dissolved the Concordat
.3vbiel made her ainioat a vassal of the church.
~.., , Eavaria and the minor Catholic States of Ger
many have freed. thoingelieti from similar vas
salage. 'Spain, in driving the BoUrbcihs' from
the throne, has
,established . freedom of reli
gion, and' there is no-'longer a "Most Catholic
„Aftkiesty." All the recent political deVelop
oarents in Fiance 'have been prottats agaltiSt ec-
Jtlesiastical authorityin affairs or State. Thus,
in about twenty years from his elevation to
t,
Papacy, Pope Pius his found himself
stripped of almost every send:dance Of, authority
''as
a monarch. . • , •
111 i idea, or that- of his advisers,. seems to
hive been . that '..semething ootinterhalance
this loss might be effected by assetnbling the
prelates from • all' - parts of the world
in ' a grand Council in the Eternal
•• City. •In ordering this Council be has
. 1
exceeded the authority of the earlier Popes.
For it is distinctly shoWn in Mr. Henry C.
'Lea's admirable new work called "Studies in
Church History," that in former times the
:'Councils were ordered by,the Emperors; that
the, church was always subordinated to the
Sfate; that canons of a . Connell have been
yeteea by the Emperors; that Papal authinity
was frequently resisted with success; that even
their appellate jurisdiction was denied ',• that
'Papal ekcernimunications were treated with
contempt by Emperors and Princes, and that
many of these refused, during the first fifteen
ihtindred years or more of Christianity, to re
.cognize the church power as above their own.
The Councils of •the Church were, in most
cases„called by the Emperors, and the Pope
took no part in them; the object being to de
rive from the assembled wisdom of the prelates
means of correcting abuses which- the indi
vidual Pope 'could not or would not correct.
The, Ecumenical Council 'now sitting at Rome
is wholly different. No Emperor, King, or
other reigning prince has had anything to do
with it, in its inception or its progress. 'The
indications are that not a single government in
.any part of the world will ..be influenced by
anything it may decree. There are indications,
• indeed, that many of the prelates will resist all
ultra' dogmas, and that if they are decreed,
titeiWill be disregarded. .
It is well known that many of the French
bishops and a laree number from Germany and
Other parts of Europe are opposed to the ex
treme views of the ultramontanists, and
so are a number of the American bishops.
There was a despatch, also, the other
slay, stating ^ that the German bishops
bad held a meeting and resolved that unless
the number of Catholics in the several dioceses
nbould be considered in taking votes in the
Council, they would return home in a body.
This is a decidedly democratic movement, for
It Claims for each bishop weight in the Council
proportioned to his constituency. It does seem
Anted that the head of a petty see 'of • a few
thousand souls should have as mach power in
the Council as one whose flock numbers
millions. As a new evidence of the growth of
liberal ideas concerning popular rights, this
aciion'of the Gerixian bishops must be regarded
as Very linportant. But it was to combat and
counteract all such liberal ideas con
terning popular rights that this Council was
called, and the resolution of the Germans
cements to 'a rebellious resistance to the wishes
and determination of Pope Pius. If they
aboard carrytheir regolution to go home
unless their demand is complied with, the
,council would probably lee dissolved without
action upon any of the important questions that
were to come before it.
After all, an (Ecumenical Council intended to
strengthen the power of the. Church, and di-
Minitdi that ,of states and peoples, is an
anachronism in the nineteenth century. If
Pope Pius would look outside of Rome and
beyond continental Ertrope, he would find that
the Roman Church is now most prosperous
and most pure in countries where it is wholly
separated from the political authority. In Eng
land and in the United States Catholicism is
growing rapidly; while in every part of the world
where it is made the religion of the State, it is
either declining or stationary. The English
and American bishops now at Rothe ought to
be able and willing to present these facts before
the vouneil, and to convipee its assembled wis
dom that any decrees meant to give the Church
pottier at the expense of the people, will be as
idle as the built against the comet.
THE. MORAL LEG BUSINESS.
There is a choice between the Bloomer and
the Ballet-girl. Both may be virtuous and re
spectable, but that is all that can be said of
them in common. The Ballet-girl has the ad
vantage in being sometimes handsome, grace
ful and attractive; the Bloomer, by some
strange fatality, is almost invariably ugly, awk
ward and repulsive. Why the type Bloomer•
should be gawky,unpleasant of feature,crooked'
a legs and unclassical of bust, awkward in gait,
hideous in the selection of colors, nobody has
I. yet satisfactorily explained. The desMtees of
the w:Fria leg 'business 'are supposed to be
aim* of mind; possibly Nature, in
her even-handed administration of the
doctrine of compensation, chooses• for
the bestowment of these rare mental gifts
those whom she has Most neglected in her
bodily
~ fainishtnent. Possibly she takes for
her female reformers those whose native forms
soost'need her better handiwork. It 1. , : po9si..
ble taimagine a.prettylroman in a Bloomer

which invaded Philadelphia on Saturday last]
for
,the,,humari imagination has alnlPo nd
tiibnn s. "But whei ever SaW One ? , ' , We dO not
like the immoral leg business of the presenf i
day. We have done Oiu share in the endeavor
to, drive it from the stage.;: 'Alit'..pd, 'porta' leg
busineSs 'is' such ii grieVons wrong and
offence; such an 'Outrage r upon Art 4.
anditeason, and. Common Sense,. and , Mani
and Voniii, that we are left in a bewilderJ
rnent, .of ,doubt whether the. Bloomer or the
Ballet girl is the greater social evil. -
'lt will be adMitted by all right:minded'
people that no woman has aright to make her
t self Uglier than Nature has ordained.. Woman
may, bait' the right to'vote; and to go to Cork:
Gress, and, to attend medicafclinics, and to gov
ern her husband, if she, has one, and to do all
things that: woman , has never, done, and to,
leave undone all that woman has ever -done,'
lint she'has no right to uglify herself: Soelety
has its rights, and the disciples .of that
terrible old lady, Mrs. Bloomer, have no
right to trample on them.. If a woman is born
ugly,—and, it must be confessed some women
are,—it is her misfortune and the misfortune
1 , oilier family and friends; but if she deliberately
makes herself' a, horror of. ugliness in thepublic
streets, she, is . a ,flt, subject : for the : Citizens'
Association. How many a comfortable digestion
was 'spoiled; how many an amiable temper was
soured; how Many an unoffending man and
woman was startled; Shocked, hurt. in all the
finest and highest • sentiment, of ' a ctiltiVated
nature, by that procession of • Ugliness'
that pranced- , 'up! Chestnut street
on Saturday last! , We, ...did not
turn and flee: n.tense of 'Anti, 'or
the , sudden petrifaction of ;a: 'Wedeln 'Gergo
nisti that sustained us, as that wabbling, un
gainly, conscious concentration of hideouSly
dressed women, stalked up the street, with their
natural following of boot-blacks and, news
boys ? The:material, the color, the cut of the
dresses .of...these .invaders of our fashionable
promenade, , ! 'where ,Fashion at her worst has
never yet attained to a rivalry with them, must
have been ' the dismal , result of some
painful night-mare. We bave seen' a
pretty Bloomer costume, never, be. it
understood, on a professional Bloomer,—
more than this, there are times and places
'where a costume which dispeuseS with 'flowing
skirts is proper, decent, comfortable and
,be
coming. But the streets of Coventry Itself
were not deserted enough to justify such a
procession of ungraceful Ugliness as that Upon
which we have been doomed to look. It was
escorted by male individuals who, by all the
unities, ought to have worn paniers, if the
women did not. The condition of these sub
jugated victims of these • tuishapely, unsightly
Jigurantes iii the moral leg business excited
commiseration; but it was mingled with another
feeling not akin to pity, at the thought
that human beings 'of the male
persuasion could be so bereft of the sense of
that reverence which we owe to the Beautiful
in Nature as in Art, as to walk in the street, ,
in open day-light, with such unpleasantly
shaped and featured women in such Un
pleasantly ugly clothes.
One fact aflbrded a gleam of relief and hope '
amid the terrors of this occasion. The pro-
Ceisiou paused as it stalked up Chestnut
street; 'and a considerable portion, if not all Of
it, filed into an establiShnient below Tenth
Street, devoted to the Manufactured cvt(ficial
! Better, perhapi, that they had first
tried the virtue of Wanamaker & Brow or
Rockhill & Wilson, but even those artists
would find their task easier after the artificial
leg-maker had , done his 'work.
ICES.
Now that the law has disposed of Landis
and his vicious publications, it will be con
ducive to improvement' in the moral health of
the community if some means be adopted to
suppress the obscene newspapers with which
the city is flooded. New York, the source of
most of the filthiest immorality. with whiehlie
country is afflicted, sends to this city I ,everY
week thonsittai copies of each of ;VC Oi
six flesh Pieture-papers which are! devited - tti
glorification of vice; to• illustration Of scenes Of
debauchery and crime, and to lewd representa
tions of the human figure. These sheets are
exposed to view in - shop windows and upon
newspaper stands, 'and. they are studied with
absorbing interest, not only by grown persons,
but by children .of both sexes and all
ages: Landis; pandered — to - a - select - circle -- of
creatures as depraved as himself; his influence
did not reach the pure ; but these newspapers
pollute the minds of innocent children by re
vealing, to them knowledge of wickedness
which older people too often find to be a dan
gerous kind of wisdom. And this source of
corruption is not pent up in narrow boundaries ;
in a great, broad stream of defilement, it - pours
across the laud, seeking the light of day, dis
regarding the barriers of the law, carrying its
foulness into every household, and creating de
moralization, the con Sequences of which will
be seen when its victims arrive at, mature
years. Every decent and intelligent man has
perceived this evil, and deplored its existence,
but nobody has thought It worth while to un
dertake its abatement. 'A year or two ago
some seizures were made by one of the
High Constables; but ',the offending dealers
were never broughtlo justice, because, if we
recollect rightly, it was thought that the law
against indecent publications did not oover
these cases. But if the punishment of iiandis
is just, and the theory advanced by Judge
Peirce in his charge to the jury is true, 'We'
cannot perceive why sale of these periodicals
cannotbe prevented.. The judge: held: that
publication of any gook which tended to in
flame lewd passions, was an obscene libel, an
-less it could he proved that the book was issued
for a legitimate purpose and not for mere pur
poses of gain or with an intention to debauch
society. it will hardly be claimed for these
periodicals that they serve any useful pur
pose. They are wantonly indecent, and
they - are issued simply in answer to a 'demand,
which is well - known to exist in every commu
nity, for impure' literature and indecent pic
tures. But if the present laws are not suffi
cient to prevent the sale of these papers, the
Sooner we have some that are effectite the
better. • There will be no hardship4r 4 injuntice
done in breaking up the trade in this , vicious
stuff and panishing the offenders. The men
"who publish it and sell it are trafficking in the

OUR HOME !REARMS.
Governor Geary will win a high „ reputation
as a humorist, if he gets off many things as
funny as his publleation, of the list of -applica
tions for office. The thought is, a happy one;
and certain to afford much- innocent tunuse
merit to the boyi, though the
~frOgs may pro ;
hably find less fun iii it, There seems to be
no good reason why the Governor should not
let the public know where to look for gentle
men willing to serve in pm various laborious
duties o stat e, w et m us t .be' pract ical
convenience to the mart Yrs themselveas to
know,how many eqmpetitonit in self-Aaerifiee
have entered the lists with them. •
.The list just published slitrat that there is no
danger of any branch the public service re
maining vacant for want of volunteers. True,
there are but two aspirmits fqr a blowing-up at
the powder magazine, and but two competitors
for yellow fever at the Lazaretto. But • there
are eleven gentlemen willing to preserve the
purity of Our 'flour ; 'eight who will sacrifice
themselves over the bung-holes of our whisky
barrels; nine who will sect* it that no'mischief
lurks among our hides; eightlynx-eyed watch
dogs of surreptitious bark, and seven worthy
gentlemen who propose to protect the interests
of our harbor.
But there are higher attainments than these,
in self-devotion to the State. Governor Geary
only does justice to modest and deserving merit
when he tells the people ef Pennsylvania that
the race of heroes is not yet extinct. There
may be, men who would wrestle with the
whisky swindlers, who would quake
, at the
quereitron question. There are men , who
Would not hesitate to sound our Superfine
Family, who would shrink from the smell of
steaming skins.• They may be noble volunteers
in thecause of their own choosing, . but they
have, a choice. Bright as are the honors
which await them at the hands of a grateful
people, they pale before the clearer effulgence
of those names which are offered.'," For, any
appointment .r". Happy is the
. Governor who
can point to jewels like these I Proud should that
Commonwealth be, whose citizens thus come
forward to serve her with .no reservations,
making no terms, with an unqualified "Here
am I, send me !"
Governor Geary has done a wise thing iu
breaking up the stupid old idea that there is
anything about application for office which is
dishonorable and therefore to be hidden from
public view. None can complain of the
publication of the list of oflice-seekers, without
admitting that they have been trying to obtain
positions which they ought not to have, or of
which. they are in some way ashamed.
EXEMPTIONS FROM TAXATION.
The principle of exempting certain sorts of
property fr m taxation has been carried to
such an ex ent as to promote a good deal of
hostilit and Mr. Heuszey, of this city, has
broug t forward a bill in the, Legislature to
repeal all exemptions, which bill has been re
ported on favorably in Committee. We be
lieve that much property has been exempted
that ought to lie liable to taxation. Ceme
teries, for example, have no right whatever to
be exempted, unless, indeed, purely and ex
clusively charitable, if any such there be.
Mostly they are nothing but speculations, and
have just as much right to exemption as Un
dertakers' establishinents and no more.
It would, however, be greatly to be regretted,
if by a sweeping change in the present system!,
the burden of taxation were thrown upon
charitable and religious institutions. Such are
not legitimate subjects for taxation. If a num
ber of persons join together, and ont of
their own private means assume a work
which naturally and properly belongs to the
public at large, surely it cannot be right to put
difficulties in their way by levying taxes,
None but those that choose, contribute. It
cannot be right to compel such a charitable
body to pay taxes in order to alleviate taxa
tion to those who will not aid in such charities.
For after, all, it really amounts to just that.
Those who contribute to charities will never
be found amongst the number of those who
clamor that charities shall be taxed. Those
who raise this cry are just those who never
contribute.
'Again, let it be considered that these chari
ties assume duties properly belonging to the
Commonwealth. If these charitable •institu
tions were founded by the Commonwealth,
they would be of course exempt from taxa.
tion. Why should they not be, when they are
paid for by individuals?
in the ease•, of churches, it is to he re
membered they are always centres of charities.
Most churches collect from their congregations
far morathan the actual expenses, expressly,
that they may aid in every description bf
charitable work. They pay for • Sunday
School's, contribute to hospitals, keep teachers
at work in other States, support missions; and
try in every way to promote good-will and.
peace amongst. men. To put - stumbling-biocks.
in, their way is churlish and wrong-headed.
in the prevention of pauperism and crime they
save to the 'community tenfold their exemp
tions. Let us rather have a little more
economy and thrift in the Spending - of what
we already raise.
• Thissubject is further considered in a com
munication from an esteemed citizen, on otir
last page, to which we invite attention.

Yesterday morning, as an omnibus was be
ing -driven from the depot of the Missouri
Nalley Railroad, and had commenced cross
ing the bridge; the horses attached 'to the
vehicle became frightened , at a train. which
was moving above them on the bridge,aud at
tempted to dash off. In this, however,
they were frustrated by the driver, who
grasped the reins tightly, when the off righted
animals began backing, and did not cease
until the 'bus was backed over the precipice
and landed on tho earth below. The 'bus vras
tnil of 'passengers, who of course were much
brnised and Bbaken, and yet, strange to say,
they all escaped without very seriotts injuries'.
The driver suffered severe contusions, he hav
ing fallen from the top of the 'bus to the
groupd, a:distance over twenty feet. The
horses escaped injury, having broken' loose
from the 'bits before its sudden descent. The,
distance , from the bridge to The ground is
nearly twelve feet.

I From the Herald of to-day 4 '
,Jau. :A—The current, of speculation during
the week wag still in favor of higher prices in, the Mock
Market, although the volume of buinne.se was not up to
the correepoudiug Season* of the immediately prevloue
year.. The reason of title lies iu the greater caution
which has pervaded the public mind ever Pines the
e>ents of September. Last January stocks were just
in the first ewes of that remarkable intiatiou which
ellaps , tl with the gold ." corner. ' Money is as eavy
now at, it was thee---more so. iu tact—but the trams'
fiction§ in steel's are on a stlimlnished scale:
The clique,' have bad a lees itepres.ionable market to
work upon this year, and ita> e failed to stimulate the old
eethusisset. Considering the obstecle tuns presentee:l,
their success in the " ntovenient. whielt iv their
programme for- the 'vpriug menthe, has not been indif--
teretit Prices adsalnioet insensibly or rather very
slowly. but they steadily climb from week to week. A
retrospect of prires for the past month will chow that.
despite the tutern,eoiate dullness and spasmodic
declines in shares the general cenree of the market
in ur,w are: Int rine the week there hits been
eoneiderahle activity in Deck lelausl, which fluctuated
between IteOia lode; ,the Street being treated to a sensation
iu the tillage of a discovery that two millions of new stock
bed been teemed in the summer, for the non-registration
of which the name of Rock Island was struck from the
list at the stock Exchauge end the stock driven to
the sidewalk, • hem the dealings revire recollections)
of the Erie expulsion ,Of tent winter. It in ditikult
to comprehend the motives which at prevent gebie
the manipulation• of ' ;his stock. Its refusal to
break.' in a panic upon the atmentmetuent of
the a , er-iFell• ant the heavy .mirelasee of
the past few days. ender which the price on Saturday
reached to . seem to it dkate that the inside clique,
who went short of it from 13i downward, have courted
the itilsc every of the over-beim) for the purpene of bring
ing in their stock. The tact that the new issue wa s
authorized.was well knewn is the public. Indeed the
directors retain the right to issue two millions more
wlr-n they see fit Despite the overhanging. contingence
the price has be et, farm. Rock Maud kas been a foot
ball among the speculators,who-knowing the attraction
it possesses as the shert conneeting link between the
Pecan, Railway and all the various railway limes of the'
East, bare been able to operate upon the public confi
dence. Beek Island. like Erie, is among the great rail
- of the eauutry, but. like it, has nufortunatele
fallen irttodpecniative control. The rails' ay list was.in
general. active, anil the week closed upon a marked im
provement iu the Prices. The feature of the ensuing
week promisee to be • Struggle in Northwest, in
which Daniel Drew is reported largely short,
while Commodore Vanderbilt as said to have heel tins -
log it ever since September. Now, as the veteran Com.
modore has in old 'mere to settle with the ex-presi
dent of, Erle.!:,ind has been patiently biding his time for
revenge dud watching for an opportunity to entrap his
old adversary, the street hooks for au interesting con
test in the, immediate future between the two giants of
Wall attest.
The Gold market we/Ideal and the price heavy. The
abundant supply of. gold has defied the effort 'of the
" bulls " to keep up the premium, especially as the
stronger speculative combination, have either been out
9f the Market or on the bear side of it. Thespecula
tire spirit has almost abandoned the Gold it.,
of late,
and transferred its Wetted to the stock market.
Government bonds have sympathized with gold and
declined., The foreign.demand 'hate been light,particu
lady in London, where the neer Euenian loan is market
ing. The government bought two millions during the
week, but as the holders named to have large amount , '
to sell, the atren theuing influence of the purchase AM
counteracted. The Secretary of the Treasury now holds
