Hlgld Neutrality.

NEW YORK, December 31.-A spec
ial dispatch states that President Grant
IS about to issue a proclamation of
rigid neutrality in the dispute now in
progress between the colonies of the
Red River country and the Canadian
Government. This proclamation is
aimed both at the sympathisers who
may be disposed to aid the rebels, and
at Gov. McDOugall, who seems to i'm
agine that he can organize an expedi-
ton on American soil to regain his
authority over the Insurgents. The
Red River country is viewed in official
circles as a serious impediment to the
scheme of the English Government to
unite all British North America in the
New Confederation, and is not, there
fore, regarded as a matter for regret,
although the final success of the rebels
is not counted on.

INFALLlBiLITY.
How the American Bishops will Vote Upon
that Doctrine.

The Roman Catholic organs have
met with denials the reports sent Ovel
here, that American bishops werS
likely to act with the liberal side al
Rome. Thus the FreemaR's JOlg97Ca
on October, is said:
80 much does this coming council
trouble the spirits that oppose the
Catholic Church, that they still use the
Atlantic Telegraph Cable for the pro-
pagatiOn of Transparent falsehoods
about it. One of the latest is that
fifty American bishops will support
Bishop DupanlOup in urging liberal
ideas on the council Prodigiousl
Who has counted these fifty Ameri-
can bishops" When did they meet
to agree on what each of the fifty con-
sidered liberal ideasp Must the anti
Catholic secretaries of America sWal-
low it that fifty of the Catholic bishops
of this country are for liberal ideas q?
Then, for the rest-hardly half q
dozeu-hCW is it known they are
against liberal ideas? Who has bsel
canvassing their votes? And, again,
have these fifty gone TO Rome to sit
il a council with their minds made up

lights they may receive when the
council has sat, and the Holy Ghost
has been invoked to eniighten them?n
The Catholic WOrld for January, Just
issued, in a notice of Archbishop Man
ning's letter if favor of the decree Of
Papal Infallibilty, expressly says:
"The ultramOntane doctrine has
been almost universally held and
taught in the Catholic Church in the
United States" i"''
AS tC the decree of Infallibility, the
same influential journal adds; ,.There
can be no question that the Holy See
and the great body of bishops, inelu-
ding those Of France with few excep-
tions, hold the doctrine of the papal
infallibility to be q certainly revealed
truth contained in Scripture and tradi-
ton, and consequently regard the con-
trary opinion as an error which has
only been for time tolerated. The
whole action of the Church is regu-
lated bg 4 view, SpS viii slwavs
be so reg .Aated. There appears, there
fore, to be a very strong reason why
the present Council should put the
whole question at rest forever by
final decision and definition de tide.
We can answer f0r the clergy and laity
of the United States that they win
welcome such decision with the
greatest joy. AS for tine objection that
it will place an obstacle in the way of
conversions; it Is groundless. Those
who are solidly converted from Pro-
testantism in this country are convert
ed to Catholicity puTeand simple, and
not to Catholieity with Gallican res
erYatiOn."

@rHABITUAL ONSTlPATION-HOW
TO EFFECT A CERTAIN AND PERMANENT
CURE-Some occupations OF life predspose to
costIveness, especially those which allow but little
exercise Persons who contract this unfortunate
habit OF body, under such circumstances might
possibly be relieved BY changing their sedentary
employments for others Of more active kind;
but this is by no means certain. Habitual con.
situation Is q very obstinate disorder. AL the or
dinary so-called remedies invariably aggravate 1t.
Nothing can be more Injurious than the continued
use OF strong aperients. They at first irritate,
and finally almost paralyze the bowels-render.
Ing them so torpid that enormous doses Of cathar-
tic medicines have no effect upon them. mild
aper!enr, combined with gentle stimulant, Is the
true remedy; and q combination in the happiest
proportion. OF these Ingredients Is found in HOS
LETTERS STOMACH BITTERS. This famous
stomachic invigorates the whole intestinal canal,
while quietly removing from Its conVolutions all
impediments to free passage through them. No
mere purgative has this double operation. No
ordinary s;imulant effects the desired object.
Cases Of constipation abandoned as hopeless by
distinguished medical men have been cured IN
few weeks by the Bltters. To those who have
tried all the medicines Of the dispensary In vain,
we say try this Irresistible stlmulant and aperi-
ent. There is no sufficient reason why constipa-
tion should be the consequence OF sedentary
habits. Hostetter's Bltters, by supplying the
yipor which would otherwise be derived from ex'
ercIse will In all cases enable the system 10 per-
form its excretory functions regularly and health
