Of the same year went 10 Paris, when,
AT the Church OF Madeleine, and later
at Eotre Dame, he achieved 4 great
and brilliant success, Every successive
year increased this success; and his
reputation as one Of the greatest living
pulpit orators not only OF France but OF
the whole Christian world, was undis-
puted In any quarter. No great jour.
n al OF this country or OF Europe has
failed to tell It's readers about the bril-.
liant oratory OF Father Hyaclnlhe, and
long before his bold protest filled the
world with amazement, Father Hya.
clnthe's name was known In every
part OF the Christian world.
Father Hyaclnthe, according 10 his
own statements, has always been q Lib.
eral, and opponent OF Ultramontane
theories. Now that his Liberalism has
become 30 C0nsplcuously known, the

year 1862 Father Hyaclnthe, on the in
vitatlon OF the Society OF 81. Vincent de

Huperiors; the commencement OF his
discourse was cold and unImpaBsIoned
and failed to excite any enthusiasm In
his audience; suddenly, however, he
followed his own inspiration, and ut.
tered an eloquent apostrophe on the
want OF brotherly love In the present
assembly and IN the Church, and on
the universal BelhShneBs which pre-
vailed In its place. Thlslatter portion
OF his discourse caused no little sur

comment. In second sermon he an.

Archbishop Of Lyons, Cardinal Bonald,
heard this sermon preached, and was
highly offended atlt. In the first burst
Of his indignation. he sent for Father
Hyacinthe and forbade him to preach
In any church Of his diocese. The mr.
gent representations Of the highest 80
Clety In Lyons induced him to With
draw this prohibition. He again sent
for Father Hyaclnthe, and In q mild
and unoommonly forbearlnH manner
put before him the harm he would do
TO the Church II he went on with his
violent attacks upon II. Father HyAs
Cinthe could not resist this friendly adj
dress, and promised TO control himself
In future. 1t was not until lately that
he found himself unable 10 keep this
promise any longer.
The recent history OF Father Hyacin-
the has been 80 fully traced In the
columns ofthe Tribune, and must still be
30 fresh in the memory of Its readers
that 1t would be useless TO repeat 1t.
The letters Of his superior, the General
OF the Carmelite Order, which the 1Fi.
bunG published yesterday, show that
even without the approach OF an
Ultramontane Council the crisis would
have been brought on. Father Hyacin.
the has taken bold step. Still wish
ing to remain a Roman Catholic, he
has defied the orders Of his Superior
General. The General Is backed by the
canons OF the Church, which announce
to the defiant rebel the greater excom-
municRtion and the note Of inIamy.
The monk disregards entirely the sum.
mons OF his General, and instead Of
retiring into one OF the converts OF the
province Of Avignon, to mediate with
contrite heart on the sinfulness Of his
disobedience, comes 10 the United
States to study the free institutions
OF Protestant country. Every
line OF Father HyaClnthe's letter
shows that this summons for an
unconditional surrender could not
arouse in him the determination Of
bold resistance. A greater struggle II
may have been for him to resist the
friendly appeal Of Bishop Dupanloup,
Of Orleans, so long the most intimate
friend of Lacordaire, Montalembert,
and the other leaders of the Liberal
school; but who now believe 1t due TO
his episcopal dignity to counsel sub
mission. Father Hyacinthe's position
Is as yet too little defined to enable us
to know 10 what extent he will openly
be supported. A number Of prominent
men In france have issued declarations
fully as decided In their opposition to
the ultramontane system as the letter
OF Father Hyacinthe, though none Of
them can bear comparison to the stir
ring effect which the letter OF Hya-
olnthe has produced. Yet the list OF
his sympathiSers includes at least one
Bishop, and the name OF man like
Count Montalembert certainly weighs
as much as several Bishops. In Ger
many there is a widely.spread organl.
cation which more than supports the
views OF Hyacinthe. How far these
isolated elements can be made to CO.
operate and make stand against the
Imminent growth Of Ultramontanism,
