From the New York Herald.I
When the bull OF Plus the Ninth con-

made public some months ago 1t was felt
by all that great novelty was In store
for those who should have the good
fortune to see the closing days of 1859
For more than three hundred years Ecu
meaical Councils have been things of the
past, known only TO the student Of his
tory and forming 20 part Of the living,
actual present. While, however, it was
the general opinion that an Ecumenical
Council would be startling and magnif-
icent novelty it was doubted by many
bath within and without the Catholic
Church whether an EcumeDical Council
in the proper sense OF the phrase was g
possibility. Time was when a General
Council, convened by q Roman emperor,
who was virtually the ruler Of the then
Roman world, was fairly entitled to the
name Eeumenical. IL any Of the ha5i-
table earth lay beyond the confines Of
the empire, it was al least certain that
ChristendOm lay within tae confines OF
the empire. For tho GTst ten centuries
Of the Church's history General Councils

Nice and ending wiz -le second Of Nice,

Council is q convenient fiction which
