Another letter fol lowed, and at last a letter arrived Which the Pope himself had ordered to be written.

The Archbishop communicated these let ters to Dr. McGlynn and part of them to Henry George At length tie prohibited Dr. McGlynn from tak ing any further tart in Mr. Gewrgf's canvass for the mayoralty ; leyer Itheless he persisted and at the great j George mass meeting in Chicfcering I Hall he spvke for an hour in his most 'eloquent and impressive manner, eulogizing Henry George as the greatest man of tne country, fit not only for mayor but for President. Troaibl la F1Ub Bonds. A Raleigh correspondent says: A decided sensation was caused here toniay by the attempts of the new Republican county officers-elect of Wake to give bonds. The Republi cans here urged the Republicans of means in tne State to come to their aid in the matter. The county com missioners are scrutinizing the" bonds closely and personally examining all the sureties on oath. Dr. J. J. Mott came here to-day to go on Sheriff fl'H-t Rogei-s's bond. He qualified for $33,000. The'commissioners have de ferred the matter from day to day in order to accommodate the Republi cans and prevent any charge of un fairness. They-tiold tne matter over until to-morrow to examine the sure ties. There is much bad feeling on the part of the Republicans, j . : The Frf Delivery By torn. "Washington, Dec. 10.

Tt - W i Vance, of Jorth Carolina, delivered a lecture atremont Temple tnis even ing for th4 benefit of J. A. Andrew and Sentiment During the Civil War." if i The Senator's remarks weie devoted to the attempt on the part of the North "ttf forestall history in regard to the civil war, and to impress upon all who took part in itron the aoutn- 6rnkie tSo ttigms of treason, to which he Said that "all crime is to be found in -criminal intent, and no Southern taan believed he was en gaged in Rebellion or treason: that secession ' 'was; constitutional and right: that the Southern people had been so 'taught by Northern and Southern statesmen ; that the unirer- sal nndersfartding when the constitu tion was adopted was that wnen a State"" deemed herself mjured by its restriction, she had the right to with draw. The foundation for this decis ion," be said, "was Madison's resolu tion of 1799. Massachusetts accepted this doctrine, and asserted her right and threatened to execute it in 1803 when ri 4wi tsiana-. was annexed. She again Asserted this right in the Han ford Convection several years later. The resolution of 1798 became tbe po litical platform of the Democratic party, andpras enunciated again and agam by national conventions, and candidates of that party professing these principles hadcained a majori ty of the American people. Thus feeling and being reared to believe that doctrine accepted, no Southern man could btv legally: convicted ot crime for Qui at tempting to carry it out. No court has ever decided thai secession was treason, and therefore there could have been no criminal in tention as there was no criminal knowledge. It is therefore unfair and untruthful to continue to speak of secession "as treason The q uestion never was decided tujtil it was de- cioeu oy tne war. - 11 a . ' j l ney do us injustice, continued Senator Vance, "wheii they say that I slavery was the cause ot tne war; in truth, it was only an occasion of the war. The real cause of tne war was the attempt of the: federal govern ment to control the internal affairs of the States. Had we submitted to the interference , of the general govern ment in regard to slavery,, we would have been! precluded from resisting that mjerf ermce in regard to any thing else whatever.! which would have made an absolute end of the sovereignty of each State over its owrt affairs." He then went on to state that for the sin of slavery itself the responsibility mil it be divided be tween the North and ISouth. Rhode Island and Massachusetts ships (shi vers) went to Africa! i bought slave, for New England rum- the South also bought them. When the Northern States found the climate unsuitedto slaves, they sold , them to the Southern States, quit the business and. turned philanthropists. Massachu setts, New i Hampshire and Connecti cut joined J extreme Southern States, the two Carolinas and Georgia, when the constitution was formed and piet- poned for ttwenty years the suppres sion of the slave trade, so thai on both subjects, secession and slavery , New England is not in a condition to throw stooes at anybody else. He then proceeded to speak of how, secession wms accomplished; how it was received by the common people; how the civu authorities were sup ported by popular opinion throughout the first year or so of . the war; the necessity for conscription acts and their effect! on the popular opinion in the South ; the social condition of the South during the war, when 'shut off by blockade from all, the world ; what people dull and said and thought and elt, and especially what they did in the wav of mmrovine their manufac tories of war material, food and cloth mg, and all implements used m. the industries of daily; life, v Public feel ing in the Confederate cause only la gan to wane when losses in. our army could no longer he supplied, and a gi eat mass of the people thought of treating for oeace. He exolained the difficulties of negotiations which were in the way. Both State and Confed erate authorities were- bound by a constitution and a government of Confederate States. 'In my opinion. he said, It was a great mistake to have formed any constitution, for the Confederacy . was restrained by its own constitution. -In Mew of the 'crreat odds against ejConfederacv. they should have stripped themselves naked of all laws or constitutions and bowed to one wilL" iff ' Speaking of the negro question in connection with the war, the Senator said : "The North predicted that the slaves would be incited to commit murder, incendiarism, and bring on all the horrors of servile war. They found it quite the j contrary; The negro was a : positive element of strength to the South; By reason of his service in the fields we were enabled to put in our army far more wnue men wan we couio nave aone . jl ," lia but for the presence of the negro. In stead of insurrection and outrage, the negro not only retrained from any act of vengeance when an opportunity came, but in a large measure failed to embrace the opportunity of freedom itseii wnen tne r euerai armies came. Few followed the army oft, and still fewer ran away to get to the armies. They stayed quietly on the old plan- tauon, cultivating tne neias, ana caring for the women and children with a kindness and loyalty that gives the lie direct to Charges ot cruelty and ill-treatment to which they were saia w oe suujecteu. f . . . , r In conclusion the Senator said: "I now assert though my hair has since become whiter that . 1 would fight eight years against any attempt to re instate secession in my country.

If OEBIHOJTS TABIFF BILL To b filled tTp ia tbe House Be o Doeament. irka AbMt t Washington, Dec 10 Mr. Morri son has decided to call up the tariff bill in the House the latter part of next week. The tariff reformers in the House are confident now that they will be able to get the matter up tor consideration and many believe there will be tariff legislation of some sort this session. They are prepared to make a hard fight and to take ad vantage' of every circumstance m their favor. It is generally consid ered that Mr. Randall has placed himself at a joint disadvantage by the introduction of his bill last ses sion, by so doing, he committed him self; to the acknowledgment that a revision of the tariff was necessary, and the friends ot revision say he cannot, with consistency, refuse vo consider the question. They urge, too, that no man in the House dis putes that the revenues of the govern ment should be reduced, and that they can no longer refuse to attempt the reduction. The opponents of the Morrison bill are invited to consider Che proposition in a spirit of firmness and to amend tne bin in any way they have the power to do that may please them. Many Republicans, it is believed, are disposed to do this. Mr. Hiscock and others of the Repub lican leaders would favor taking up the question and fighting tbe 31om son proposition with a substitute taking tne tax of tobacco and fruit brandies and placing sugar on the free list. Such a proposition would it is believed, get the votes of the Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina delegations. A MEW jrrDCE IX rEDEBAL LAW. Atte-apUax f Han.
