to create cathedral chapters and ieccie-

Will not be made Just yet. There may
De some alteration in the present mode
Of nominating new bishops, SO as. to
give all the archbishops something to
say IN the matter. With regard to
priests, II is seriously proposed to pass

case OF converts from Protestanism,
and especially married tclerymen, who
cannot enter the priesthood; will be
considered, and 1t Is suggested that thew
might be allowed to receive the tonsure
ana minor orders, and assist the higher
clergy In preaching and other duties,
for which the sacerdotal character is
not essential. The morality of thea

OF ofexcommunicating Catholics who are
Lnarr1ed by yiAPnotestant clergymen will

to secure uni fortnitY in the observance
Of TEST vals and fasts, and probabl the

relaxation lis proposed, from the rule
which 'fofbids intefments with the

no doubt be given to the subject OF
parochial schools and Sunday schools.
to the estab blishments of refoTmatories
and industrial Institutions, and to the
formation of an American Catholic
university, like the universities Of ire
land aud Belgium. In connection with
this project Mount st. Mary'S College
Pt Emmettsburg is spoken OF The es-
tablishmenL of u Tract Society;t or
rather its support, for one has been al
ready started sin Now York, will also
come up. With regard to the publica-
ton of Catholic books, there is rather
q desire to Improve their quality than
to increase their numbers and it Is not
tmproPa BILE that some measures will be
fnl ~
sues from what Is called the Catholic
press. Idonit believe that either liter
atuTeA or truth would suffer If very
stringent rules of-that nature were
adopted. The irrepressible Fenians
will get into the Council, of course, but
whether they will be censured or let
alone have no means of Judging.
The consideration of the condition of
the Freedmen, was pressed upon the
council by letter from Cardinal Bar
nabo, Prefect of the Propaganda at
Rome. The points TO be discussed arc
the apppintment of an Apostolic
Prefect, with Episcopal powers, for the
speciat superintendence of missions
among the blacks; the erection OF Sepal
rate churches for these people; the ad-
mission OF eolored men to the priest
hood; the establishment of conVents of
colored nuns, md of schools. for chill
dren;and finally the introduction oEcOn-
