REGARDING the rumor of a successor to Satolli, the Sun (N. Y.), of July 7, takes occasion to publish a dispatch from Washington, as follows:—

WASHINGTON, July 6.—No information has been received from Rome that Archbishop Falconio will replace Cardinal Satolli as the papal delegate at Washington. Cardinal Satolli will not return to Rome until his successor has been appointed and confirmed in his new dignity. It is regarded as unlikely that the Pope will make the appointment before September next, inasmuch as it is not desirable that the change should be made during the heated term.

Rome has been scheming for a long time to get a recognized delegate at the seat of government in this country, and she now assumes that it is an accomplished fact. Will the American people acquiesce in this assumption?
