Ennalista Excited over the Rescript of
Pope Plus—The Press still Discuss
the Probabilities of War Between the
United States and Spain—Efteet of
t Pere Plyacinthlo Letter to the Pope—
Still Another Aspirant for the Spanish
Throne—Spain Resolved to Save Cuba
at all Hazards.
[Special Dispatch to the Pittsburgh Gazette.)
GREAT BRITAIN.
LONDON. Septemjer 22.—The Ritual
ists, clerical and lay, are just now deep.
• ly excited over the contents of the letter
or rescript of Pope. Pius the Ninth, in
which His Hrliness repudiates the idea
of non-Catholics or persons not in fall
communion: with the Catholic Church
'•-• attending at the Ecumenical Council in
Rome, and taking part in the proceed
ings. Puseyism or ritualism will na do.
The delegates must belong to the Holy
Mother by profession and baptism. Rev.
Dr. Cumming -, will not, consequently,

LONDON, September 22.—One hundred
thousand dollars in gold was withdrawn
from the Bank for New York.
The prospects of a cotton crop in India
are favorable.
SPAIN.
Lorinox, September 22.—The Times
/ says the Spaniards have found the ad
vantage of a bold display of patriotism
and national courage. Thek met an im
agined affront with immediate defiance,
though their threatened adversary is ten
times more powerful than themselves.
Sickles is manifestly alarmed at the re
eult of hie' proceedings, and has re
quested further instructions Pend
ing a reply from Washington he
'desired to withdraw his note. If this
is the actual case, Spain shows her own
fearlesness, which may savor of -anrea
son, but does not partake of the nature
4:4 bravado. She has declared that. if
driven to extremity, she will fight. No
doubt she will, MU/ for her to gain any
advantage by doing so is out of the ques.
-tion. But as the matter stands she.will
lose less by war than her adversary.
America may fairly decline an easy vic
tory on such onerous and political
terms. The people and government of
Spain are resolved not to part with Cuba
without a struggle. A contest could only
result in the sacrifice of Cuba, coupled
with other, but with slight loss. Sickles
expected no such resistance as his note
provoked. Possibly in the face of such
' opposition. his proceedings may be qual
ified or repudiated by his Government. It
is believed be exceeded his authority,and
America cannot be responsible for his
act.
The S...andard thinks the loss of Cab 3,
and perhaps Porto Rica, would be the
certain result of a war with the United
States. Here the mischief for apain
would end, after months of combat, for
she must agree to peace. Bat this mis
chief would bring with it no correspond
ing good to the United States. War
would cause serious interruption of her
commerce and result in the Wholesale
destruction of her shipping. It is not
probable the American Government will
interfere any further in Cuban affairs.
MADRID, September 22.—The Treaty
of Commerce between England and
Spain will soon be completed.

1 SPECRL'ATIONS ON UFA:NISH-AMERICAN
AFFAIRS.
After the return of the President this
morning, and particularly as -be spent
several hours with Secretary Fish, at the
Department of State, much snits y was
was expressed to ascertain the character
of the conference, the supposition being
that it had reference to our relations with
Spain. This is probable, but there is
no anti:irily for the positive , asser
tion. It lis certain, however, that
no action was taken on the premises.
It is already known that some time
ago Minister SicitleS was instructed to
offer the United States government as-a
mediator between Spain and Cuba, re
presentations having) been made to it by
respectable parties, 1 who had visited
Spain and obtained Interviews with
prominent personages, that its friendly
offices rould meet I with favor. Stich
oilers net being uncommon in our
own history, and that - -of other
nationstninister Daniel - E.I Sickles
approaclfed the Spanish Government
upon the subject and had the desired
interview. ,Contrary' to European tete
grams there is no reason for supposing
that then Spanish Government took
ciof
fense, has sought to involve other
Governments in the action. The Spanish
Govern ent, after mature consideration
of the proffered relation, has thanked
the U. S. Government for its friendly
disposition, but Is not willing .to agree to
our accommodation between Spain and
Cuba on the terms proposed. Tne end of
the matter simply is, that the mediation
is declined.
SMALL NOTES EXCH - *NGED FOR LARGE

In order to supply the pressing de

with as little delay as possible, and every

National Irish Immigration Convention
—Atli/Mee el rue Executive Committee.
[By Telegraph to the Pittsburgh Gast Ito.]
ST. LgKis, September 22.—The Execu
tive Committee having in charge the af
fairs connected with the National Irish
Immigration Convention have issued
the following brief address to the Irish.
men of the United States:
The National Convention called by the
delegates from the various - States, will
meet in St. Louis on the 6th of October.
Its object is to ameliorate the condition
of the Irish immigrant in this free
land of his adoption; to secure
this, it is designed to encourage him to
settle upon and tin the vast unoccupied
but fertile lands of the Great West, and
secure him and his family • from the
moral contamination and poverty con
sequent upon a residence in the great
cities.
The gentlemen who originated and
who are now endeavoring to carry out
this benevolent project, are actuated
only by disinterested motives. They
have received the approval of a large
number of the distinguished prelates
and clergy, art well as that of many
of the prominent laymen of the
Union. It is- therefore groped that all
to whom the success of the cause is dear
will interest themselves so far as to see
that their city and State ere represented.
This hope is expressed particularly to
the Irishmen of the Eastern and Middle
States, and even more especially to those
residing in the great State of New Yorit.
The number of delegates is not-lim
ited for any city or State. In conclu
sion, we say that the benificent results
to be expected from this great cause
should inspire every Iriehmse through
out the land to do his duty.

Massachusetts Republican Convention,—
Speech of Senator Sumner—Patriotic
Resolves.
By Telegraph to the Pittsburgh Gazette.)
WORCESTER, MASS., September 22.
The Republican State Convention met
this morning, The attendance was large
and enthusiastic. Hon. Chas. Sumner
presided and made an eloquent speech.
The entire State ticket was re-nominated
by acclamation, with the exception of
State Auditor, the name of Chas. Endi
cott,.of Canton, being substituted for that
of the present incumbent.
Dr. Loving made a speech at the cau
cus held on Tuesday night and claimed
that-the Republicans of to day were the
same as when they sustained the Chicago
platform and insisted that the promises
of that platform for citizenship, free
suffrage and the honest payment of the
national debt were being carried out
through the administration of General
Grant. The result was witnessed in
the development of the recources of the
country and its general peace and pros
perity, He favored Chinese suffrage, and
advocated a close union in the ranks of
the party.
Senator Sumner, in the cenrse of his
speech to the Republican State Conven
tion, said: In our foreign relations there
are with me two cardinal principlel
which I have no'hesitation to avow at all
times—first; Peace with all the world.
Second: Sympathy with all strugglink
for: human- rights. In. this spirit he
would now approach Spain. He
traced the history of that country.
Speaking of - the patronage which ena
bled Columbus to discover this now
world, of all the possessions once held
in tats country, Cuba and Porto Rico
alone remain; and Cuba is now in arms
against her mother country. While
Spain' is struggling to hold the
little that remains to her in this
new world; two questions occur,
diet, as to the duty of Spain,
and second, as to the duty of the United
States. Quoting from a French states
man the words uttered in 1850, he said
that colonies are like fruits which hold
to the tree only till maturity comes,
when they will do what Carthage did,
and what America will some day do.
The speaker questioned whether Cuba
has not arrived at that state of
maturity. The day has come, he
said, when the sovereignty of
any foreign power over the colonies
on this hemisphere must cease. [Ap
plause.) And yet while Spain has her
duties to pntirm. there remains a dis
tinct policy for the United States, and
that is, of strict non-intervenation ex
cept in • the way of good •ollloes,
Spain is at this moment engaged
in a comedy and a tragedy. The com
edy is hunting for a King, and the trag
edy Is sending armies against Cuba. It
is not for.= to become actors, either in
tie comedy or the tragedy. If Spain is
wise. she will give up both. As to
the queition. of the recognition" of
belligerent rights to the Cubans, I find
no Government, no towns, no cities,
judiciary, ports, or commerce. to au
ttiorlze such recognition. And again
biligerant rights should, never; in the
opinion of the speaker, be accorded, to
any nation or counT whiph does not
recognize the freedo of every man.
On the subject of ur - relations with
England, the speaker said he would
gladly hold his peace. But yielding to
the wishes of his friends, he would speak
briefly. lie had no hesitation in saying,
as he had always said, that we. as a
nation had suffered fearfully at the hands
of England. He did not say this in bit
terness. but in sadness. That in view of
all England's complicity in our rebellion
he would not attempt to set a price upon
the debt which- that nation owes
to us. He would not make any formal
demand upon that power—not a dollar
of money—not a word of apology. He
would leave it to England, upon due
consideration of the subject, to offer
such reparation as she , deepis proper,
and to our country it remains,
upon such a consideration, to decide
what reparation •we shall require.
Mr. Sumner referred to the subject of
the, proposed annexation of Canada to
our own country, and in thelight of his
tory and of property, as well as of na
tional policy, it was certain that the day
was already dawning, in which we
should see the whole land joined under
the government of the United States.

Lively Time Anticipated.
_.
IatICAGO, September 22—Considera
ble excitement was created at the Board
of Trade today by the resignation of the
officers of .the Board. The cause of the'
resignation is made known in the fol
lowing-preamble and resolutions presen
ted by the officers for acceptance by the
Board, and which the rules of the Board,
are required to lie over one day before

WHEREAS, It is the opinion of the Di
rectors that the resolution of the Board,
adopted on the evening of the 20th

Messrs. Goodyear and McHenry to the
privileges of the Beard, contemplates a
direct violatibn of the ninth section of

rectors to hold members suspended until
the matter complained of has been
arranged or settled,—andWhereas the
Directors, individually and unanimous
ly, hold that in their acts they should
deal with facts, irrespective of the stand-
Inger influence of the parties involved,
and could not cone:latently with their
views of duty exercise the discipline of
the board on any member that should
not be exercised on all under
similar circumstances. Therefore be it
Resolved, That rather than suirender
their deeply laid ideas of duty in the of
ftelal pcsiticn they are placed in, the
Board of Directors will return to their
constituents the trusts committed to
their hands; to the end that more accept
able servants may be selected to per
form the prescribed duties assigned by
the officers.
The following resolutions, offered by
Mr. V. A. Turpin, were also read and in
accordance with the rule of the board
laid over for action till to-morrow:
Resolved, That the Board of Trade has
received notice of the resignation of its
Officers with profound regret.

journed meeting of the full Board on the
evening of the 20th inst. is not the send
ment of this Board.
Resolved,. That the officers of the
Board are respectfully requested to
withdraw their resignations.
A lively time is anticipated to-morrow
when action is taken on the resolutions.
