The second National Council of the Catholic
Church of the United States, to be held in Balt-
more on the first Sunday in october, and which
is to terminate on the third Sunday of the same
month, will probably prove grand religious
pageant All the archbshops OF male religious
orders, the superintendents OF seminaries, in
fact, the entire Catholic clergy, have been in
yited to attend, and the invitation seems to
have been generally accepted. The Most Rev.
DR.. Spaulding, Archbishop of Baltimore, has
been delegated by the Pope to preside over the
deliberations OF the council
Among the distinguished clergymen now in
this city from the Pacific coast are the Arch
bishop OF San Francisco, the Most Rev. Dr. Ale
many Most Rev. DR.. Blanchet, OF Oregon City;
his brother, Right Rev. Blanchet, of Nesqually;
Right Rev. DR.. Demers, from Vancouver's
Island; Right Rev. DR.. Amet, OF Los Angeles,
Right Rev. DIR. 0'Connell, OF Marysviile, and
others. Many of these gentlemen arrived on
Saturday last; some, however, came by dl1er-
ent route and did not reach this city until sun
day. Four of the bishops since their arrival
have assisted at high mass at st. Peters church.
1t is understood that several of these prelates
have gone to Montreal, with view OF securing
the cooperation of members OF Catholic orders
for the education of the youth, in the several
dlOceses now not represented Oy quallneu

least one hundred priests, and a great number
of supervisors of orders present.
The first National Council was held at balti-
more in 1853, and its DEGREES, after having been
approved by the Pope, were published and
their provisions have since been observed in the
Discipline of the Catholic Church. 1t is thought
the present Council will exercise a much greater
influence than the one preceding it. owing to
the great increase of Bishops and religious
orders of the Church. The direct object of this
important assemblage OF Catholic clergymen is
for the purpose of regulating the discipline Of
the Church; also for more systematic plan for
the education OF Catholic youth.
II is generally understood that the Convention
will advise the endowment OF several colleges
and seminaries, and that the education of priests
viii be prominent topic of discussion. 1t is
also understood that new Episcopal sees will be
established and bishops appointed to 6ll them
All nominations WILL OF course, be referred tC
Rome for confirmation, this being obligatory OIL
ali Catholic Councils. An estimate OF the i'm
portanee of the Council may be derived from the
fact that the leading minds of the priesthood o
the Catholic Church from all parts of the United
States will be assembled, and the interests o
fine Catholic Church throughout the entire
Sonntry will be represented. The DELEGATES WHIT
nave arrived in this city have generally beer
entertained by the friends of the several order
40 which they belong, and their reception ha
not only been cordial but enthusiastically Y
