What is to be Done with the Pope.

Cts”We make no apology for lack of editorial. We can select more interesting articles than we can write. man mined Lynch was arrested and brought to town yesterday for trial, charged with stoning the “barracks” on Saturday night, but, in consequence of a defective indictment, he escaped. OirMa ny of our young folks went on a pic.-nic to Beaver Lake yesterday. They say that they enjoyed themselves hugely, and that the scenery about the Lake is gloriously beautiful. (rJ'We are glad to learn that young John Warner, familiarly known by the name of “Jack,” has set up a„ehop on the Bedford j farm, half a mile east of town, where ho is 1 prepared to make wheat and meadow rollers,; plow stocks, hay rakes, &c., and to repair '■ wagons, buggies, plows, and everything else j in that line. He has got through “sowing! his wild oats,” settled down, and become industrious. It is the duty of all good ci izens | to encourage him in his manly resolves, and j we believe they will. Jack is said to be a 1 first-rate workman, and understands his' business. .— ffs“The Indianapolis \\ eehly Stale Journal is now published at the low rate of $1 a year. We have no hesitation in pronouncing it the best paper in the State; and we like its course on the next Presidential question. It is not opposed to the union of the Opposition in 1860, but in that union the fundamental principle of Republicanism (non-extension of slavery) must be kept boldly in the front rank. Such a union we would have no objection to, but any other kind we repudiate in advance. We recommend the Journal to every subscriber of the Gazette who can afford it,

Speculation begins to busy itself in dis- j posing of the Pope of Rome, (remarks { e New York Journal of Commerce.') in case tie should b: obliged to leave Italy. The Italians don't wnnt him, neither is it likely that Austria or France would desire such an occupant. of their dominions, who, unless digested of his temporalities, must ever be a sort u i.imperium ixu imperio, and so embarrass legitimate government. A Vienna correspondent says, should a revolution take place in the R »man States, his Holliness is not likely to seek refuge under the Austrian govern men!, as he is ‘■garde de vu? by the French commander.” j Nap icon ill certainly would not care to divide his sovereignty with any other indi-1 vidua!, for his limits seem already too much circumscribed for his ambition. | The Madrid Espana has hit upon a good place, one one of ttie islands in the Mediterranean Sea, where Pio Nono can operate 1 without infringing upon the jurisdiction of other people That journal says: “We learn that the Government has just received a telegraphic dispatch from our Embassador at Rome, expressing the opinion that it is desirable to increase the garrisons of the Balearic Islands by 10,000; in case the Pope, in the event of huvii g tu abandon his capi-i tal by the spread of the rev dution in Italy,; should decide on establishing the seat of the j Holy Sea in one of our Mediterranean Is- 1 lands.” Such a location would lie airy, and, j like Alexander Selkirk, the Pope wouie still be “monarch of all he surveyed,” without needing the assistance of such a larire number of bayonets .as to embarrass bis finances, It is probable, however, that the Italians, out of respect for an institution so venerable, will consent to retain his Holiness as simple Bishop of Rome, on condition of his surrendering all pretensions to political control. We are assured by one who is intimate with public sentiment in Sardinia, and who has participated prominently in its government, that only terms of this character can be made acceptable; that the Italians are disgusted with Popery, whatever inuy be their opinion of the system it represent--, and will! not fail so improve any opportunity by which it may be restored to its primitive simplicity. It is not probable that Pope Pius IX. contemplates with any satisfaction that turn of affiirs by which Italy is likely to become the cock-pit of Europe. If military chanticleers must take the occasion now presented to convince the world of their prowess, he would much rather they would retire to such a respectful distance as not to disarrange his collection of red hats, gowns, cowf ß, keys, and other paraphernalia of an antequated superstition. As a matter of fact, the Papal prerogatives are seriously threatened by the impending disturbance. The power which once deposed kings, and was regarded as the very incarnation of omnipotence, has gradual'y dwindled almost to extinction. —Chicago Join nal.
