as follows:-He denounced Father Hyacnthe as
n crazy Frenchman, whose utterance would nave
no weight in the Catholic world and In regard to the
Tcumencal Council, he said that the DEGREES of the
Council were matters about which there would he no
difference among Catholics, feeling sure, as they did,
about its decisions, and knowing that the debera-
tiOns Of the Council would be under guidance of the

Hyucinthe and the American Catholics.
The New York Tablet contains the following cdto-
rial remarks upon the "New Luther" and all other
Catholic papers that we have seen adopt su0stan-

lfhe has come or shall come here expecting to find
sympathy among Catholics with the views expressed
in his letter to the General of his order he is destined
to a wOful disappointment Catholics in this cOun-
try are, In general, believers IN republican govern
ment, and ardent defenders of civil liberty aud the
freedom and independence OF the Church, but they
equally stern defenders OF the Divine authority OF
the Church 10 teach and govern all men ana nations
in all things pertaining 10 the spiritual duties, rela-
tons ana end Of man. They are too well acquainted
with Professionalism to have sympathy with any Pro-
testant or anti-CathOllc tendencies. The American
Catholics who he may have regarded working for
the ends he proposed to himself, he will find to be
behind none in their sincere and earnest censures OF
his spirit and conduct The distinguished American
Catholic on whom he may have counted, since he is
held by PrOestans to be Liberal Catholic, assured
personally, nearly two years ago, that he feared
for Pere Hyacnthe, whose views were very uusound,
and who was evidently yielding to tendencies the
nature Of which he did not understand, and which,
il not resisted in time, would lead him out OF the
Church,
Poor Place for Shalty Catholics.
This is poor country for shaky, especially rene
gade Catholics. II Pcre IIyacintne comes here ex-
pecting to induce any considerable number OF Clth0-
lies or even single Cath olic TO accept him as d
leader or to follow him in his most Incorporate and
silly attacks the authority of the Church, he will
find that he has come on FOOLS Grand If he comes
as Protestant seeking sympathy and glOri1caton
from the enemies of the Church, he will no doubt he
welcomed, but not with much warmth or respect
for they see that he comes Without following, and
has only his bare self to ofer them. They already
see that by leaving the Church he mas lost hts
power to serve them and that they have 10 further
use for him.
