A Pnopounn sensation , has been created among . Catholics, on the continent 'of Europe, by the publimtion of a letter said to have been addressed by the Pope to the Emperor of Austria, in which the latter is tenderly but sharply reproved for yielding to the demands of the "factions," who, in many trittlotts ways, but erweelally by.their assaults upon the iutegrii , of the'Coricoidat,' have disputed the supremacy of the Church. The letter is generally believed to be a for gery, yet the leading Catholic journals do not hesitate •to say that the sentiments which it e.rpresses are certainly those really entertained by the Pontiff. • THE Eh - TIN/LT/01C that Chief Justice CILisE intends to follow the arguments of counsel, by something in the nature of a charge to the Senate, before it retires for secret de liberation, finds no warrant in any declara tions yet made -by Judge CHASE himself, nor is it believed that he will claim any such privilege.

Tizi ASSASSINATION of D'Arcy McGee, at 'Ottawa, is followed by the report of an attempt, fortunately not fatal, upon the .life of the English Prince Alfred, who has been shot and dangerously woimded in Australia. Each of these crimes 'are charged upon the Fenians, unjustly, we believe, so far as that 'organization is concerned, but it is quite likely that the individual offenders are mem- bers of the Brotherhood, or sympathizers in its hostility to England. The omission of the Fenian leadeie in the first case to ex-. press their, decisive and indignantreproba tion of the'use of such a detestable method of grag political hatred, has, already occasione fy d comment.

It proves tkat the Congressional policy is not an unreasonable disfranchisement, and perhaps that it does not disfranchise enough; that the question of a "white man's.govern ment" remains still practiodly under the control of the late rebel populations, each State'for itself; that negro domination has not been forced upon a reluctant and power less minority; that negro alliances are not distasteful to the Democracy when result ing to• their political advantage; and that with only an ordinary degree of shrewd intelligence on the part of the whites in guiding and controlling the colored vote, the future has no result more likely than that the' black clemocracy of the Gulf States will count as effectively, n the combinations of the party as the Sixth ward of New York.. Instead of denouncing the Congressional policy, we may anticipitethatllie National Democratic Convention will sincerely and generously acknowledge the magnanimity of tlie.Republicans in enfranchising nearly a - million of voters, who are so soon and so surely to swell the rtufts of. the opposition, blending harmoniously with the white Democracy of the North, and effectively aiding in its restoration to National power. Two or three weeks ago, we commented, in strong terms, upon the efforts made, from time to time, by the managers of rail- Ways, to divest their corporations of res ponsibility for damages to persons or prop erty, while in ,their custody, or,l at least, unreasonably to limit that respOnsibility. Those comments were drawn from us by the enactment, last year, of a law defining and limiting'the extent of damages demand able for loss of baggage, and by a bill which was introduced into the Legislature, the present year, fixing a maximum to be demanded upon the destruction -of the life of a passenger or employe, and restricting damages in case of injuries of a less O BSTRUCTIONS TO. grade.

It was agreed that every bridge across the Ohio should 'have at , least one span jot' five hundred feet in the channel, and that ' - it is the duty of', Congress to Interfere by suitable enactments to pre- vent the erection of anygreaterobstructions.

This will leave the only remedy in an appeal to Congress, to exercise its un questionable power in protectini the inter- State interests concerned in the free naviga tion of the river. We commend the sub ject as one of pressing and immeasurable importance, to'the immediate attention of Representatiyes from the districts of the Valley.: - - LIABILITY OF RAILWAY COMPA • , • NIES. maximum responsibility fixed at that point but,i,in the event of such a law passing, we should sincerely hope every member of the Legislature votingfor it might hare his ,Nni life estimated under it within a twelve month. • The employes of -railway companies stand upon a totally different footing from passen gers. Engaging for .an extra-hazardous employment, they run their own chances. Their position is analagous to that of work men in powder mills, who, in consideration of - specified wages, agree to perform certain duties P" ,u abide the consequences. If - the do not like the risk, it is their privileg. to seek some other vocation. But, the fac is notorious, that for every vs eau •o . „the pay roll of a railway com pany, . ere are, on an average, twenty ap-1 plicants Is there a species of fascination in' this kin ..of dang 4, which strongly attracts advent ous men ?I No matter what expli cation .. . y be given, the fact remains.; and the rule is a just one that I/ man hiring for wages fo a particular service, takes his own risk, exce .t as es against gross and inexcusable carelearm •:s on the : part of his employers; that is, he akes the.ordinary risk of the .eni- Rion:neat, • bile the owners are properly held respo . able for culpable carelessness. To this extent, the rule of the' common, law is set aside by the law of the last session. Railway comp , snies, no matter how great their carelessness or lack of provision for the security of their i employes, can be held in damages for no' higher sum than $5,000 in loss of life. As such recklessness can seldom if ever be attributed to them, it is reasonable to conclude this restriction was not the point actually reached after. Though, even here, it must be confessed juries are want to infer cul pablcarelessness on the part of, companies, w ere none- existed, in order to benefit the legal representatives of unfortunate employes at the expense of what are maliciously denominated "wealthy (;__. corporations." - In view of all the above facts, we enter our protest against the law as it was passed, and as it was designed to be. A WORD ABoUr Recent experiments at , St. Louis having proven the feasibilitl of smelting the iron ores of Missouri with the coals of adjacent districts in Illinois, the journals of the two States are indulging in golden expectations of a futuic , which, adding incalculably to their, developed wealth of resource, shall render them not only independent of the iron masters of Pennsylvania and Ohio, but shall soon give to themselves the undisputed control of the iron markets of the Mississippi Valley, the great Northwest, and of the half continent extending to the far off Pacific, which in a generation or two coming, is to be the seat of new and populous States. We rejoice heartily in the successful de velopment, anywhere and everywhere, of the vast resources of the country in its min eral wealth, and in the triumphs of labor and skill in converting the gifts `of Nature to the profitable uses of society. Year after year, in the onward progress of this people, it has been a matter for cordial congratula tion that the earth has revealed new . treas ures in its bosom, and that the ingenuity of man has won new triumphs in their utiliza tion to the purposes of society, according to a ratio steadily and evenly advancing with our growth in population and'the increas ed requirements of its consumption. The day is now lotig gone by when the Ameri can people were wholly dependent upon the foreign production for a supply of the resulting products of labor and skill in the preparation of those metals, like iron and copper, which are of prime social neces sity.. Our iron markets_ are still influenced to some .extent by those of foreign nations, but, in the main, the home demand is met by the borne production, and the one has kept pace steadily with the other In the national progress. The frontier has been pushed westward until it him at' last been entirely washed out in the waves of the Pacific; new States are built; new ways of communication opened; the valleys, prairies, hill-aides and plains of a continent which the last generation knew only as un inhabited wastes, are occupied and possessed by the advancing human tide, which•builds up the new without Impoverishing or depop ulating the older States behind. And es the new communities grow up, the earth dis closes fresh stores of mineral wealth to meet and'supply the needs of the increasing peo— ple who throng upon her surface. As the pOpulations grow, their needs are to be sup plied; manufactures are stimulated by the growing demand, existing, flourishing and increasing inexact ratio to the 'demand it self, and ever supplied with the crudepa terials for its'use from from' stores ()inn bier haustibleearth. 'Pennsylvania and Ohio may perhaps sur render to. Illinois and Missouri the control they have hitherto had of the Iron markets of the West So, as time passes on, with the growth of new communities spreading over the plains and the slopes of the Rocky Mountains, and With the discovery of fresh mineral riches In the regions which are (to -be populated, Miami arid Illinois will yield in their turn to the forges and mills of newer States to the west of them, But Pennsylvania and its sister States will re. main populous, active, prosperous and ad tiurianfici;ganidn all com th m e e d r ef ia a l rtm in en du t s s tiy of , suan susta u l k ne e- d. by the demands of. their own increasing population, and as ,independent of their present customers as these of their present sources of supply. The forges and mills ,of these States will maint a in their - cesheleis clangor in the generationa to come, and be fore many years the wonder will be that the iron-masters of the upper Ohio and its trib utaries should ever have been able to supply anyother demands than, tkiose of the region immediately about them and which will be found taxing their fullest capacities If we have not the right Ores and therled . fuels of our own, we shall go elsewhere fee, them If One distiiet cannot stipizu., 1' . these, prolltablY;another!, Ic a su..

We have even:so close by us as to be almost at our doors a region abounding in mineral wealth of 'which we have as yet no ade quate conceptions.. Five hundred miles of new railway, by routes entirely practicable, need only to be built to give to Pittsburgh the indisputable control for a . generation of the vast resources now sleeping in the se eluded valhes and under the hills of the South Western Alleghenies and of the Ap palachian Range which stretch, the back bone of the Eastern half • of. the continent, hence towards the Gulf of Mexico. Who doubts the ,ability of Pittsburgh, of the wealthy district watered by the upper Ohio - which Pittsburgh represents, to construct a load• through that region? Who doubts that it will be,built as soon as we shall need. those mineral resources and shall adequately comprehend their wonderful value ? Who • doubts that Pennsylvania, as a State, has as deep an interest as Pittsburgh, in securing those rich treasures to her use ? Let us oc cupy and possess them, and we can then well afford to be indiffereLt to some of our pres ent possessions. SENATOR Ye.TEs, _of Illinois, under dite of the 21st, addresses to the people of that Stitt an, extended reply to recent criticisms upon his unfortunate habit of intemperance. Acknowledging the justice of these stric tures,. he declares that the future shall prove the `completeness of his reform, and that he will yet deserve the good opinion and justify - ihe confidence of his fellow-citizens. Thd kindly spirit with which his address is received, is evi lent in' the annexed para graph from the Chicago Republican: If, there be truth in the adage that what is confessed is half redressed, there is that in thisinanly and mournful apology of out distiquished Illinois representative, which will go far to repair and restore the brilliant reputation and popularity which has only one unfortunate incumbrance. None have felt keener regret for the failings of Senator Yates, than those who best knew and most thoroughly appreciated_ him; and were aware • of his earnest struggles against the habit 'which has been his 'bane. But with all these failings, Senator Yates' record has never been diminished by a departure from the line of public duty and fidelity to the cause of which he has been an early cham pion and gallant knight.. MR. CicasE has views of various fleeting public questions which, if partially unfold ed or casually presented, might lead an ob fuscate wandering minstrel of pretentious ineptitudes to misunderstand and misinter pret them.---Pt7c4, to the Tribune. We trust that no "ineptitudes "will be "obfusticated " by this charmingly lucid expression of a simple truth.. WE QCOTE the descriptions of two ens :times for spring: Thefirst is intended for brunettes. The underskirt is a colored foulard: the upper one, a grey ground upon which are scattered little cachemire leaves, and is trimmed with gray and eachemire. The tunic is looped up on one side almost to the waist, by a piece of open work, which falls back upon the under skirt and terminates in a point. The sash is half long, made of fluted foul ard, fastened at the waist by a foulard knot, and with the ends trimmed and pointed. The corsage is high in the back, and cut square in the neck in front. The agnate is covered by a piece of open work, like that falling on the underskirt. The second costume is for blondes. The auiterial is a silver white foulard, upon whose ground are scattered violets.- - The underskirt is pale violet, trimnied with white blonde about ten. centimetres above the edge; a trimming of violet blonde sur rounds the upper skirt and is fastened be hind by a sash of violet foulard, trimmed with white. The corsage is fastened by only three buttons, opened in heart-shape in front, with a turn-down collar in:violet. It is high behind, iis and in the lappets other' , case. • G ov. LASTNovemberr Fairchild was re elected Governor of Wisconsin, after a most sharply -contested canvass, by a majority of 4.764. It was deemed so narrow a margin that the Copperhead leaders felt encouraged to make a _great effort to carry the State this Spring. They nominated two of their strongest men, Dunn and Ellis, for the Su preme Court. They counted largely on di visions in the Republican party, which, at that time were imminent. They elected delegates to the Demos tic National vention,most of whom were known to be in Con favor of a partial repudiation of the national debt. To that extent they indorsed . the Pendleton swindle. They calculated that repudiation and dishonesty would attract a large elass of so-called doubtful voters to the Copperhead banner. The case was placed befare the people of. Wisconsin, and never was there a more gratifyin%popular manifestation. In spite of the D atic success in Connecticut, and the apath ocr y of Republicans in attending the polls,'our jority of 4,764 in the , autumn of 1 67 isma in- I creased in 1868 to 6,500 for ,' Di on and Pnine.--Tratune.

The two figures of "states men and -patriots," on the right of the President, who "during all the trials and ;;j vicissitudes of these eventful years have "remained steadfast to liberty, to justice 4-,: "and to the principles of constitutional government," whose names Mr. Boutwell says, he."wlll not venture to pronounce in this nresence," are those of Stanton and 4',.4 Chase. Of the five persons represented on the left of the President, Mr. Bontwell says r s one is no t he living—"he died before the evil days came." He refers to Caleb B. tt Smith, Secretary of the Interior, who re- ,i`;• signed in January, 1863. Of the other four, he says "three have been active in counsel "lng and supporting the President in his "attempt to subvert the government; they "are already ruined men." This reference is to Seward, Welles and Blair—the latter not in the Cabinet now, but an active sup porter of "thy policy."
