new ORLEANS, SUNDAY. August :, 1870



ROME, July 9.-End Of the Discussion.-Mgr.
Freppel made another very remarkable speech
On the side Of the majority. Those Fathers
who had inscribed and not yet spoken mostly
withdrew their names. Two only insisted on
addressing the Aula-one on each side. The
scene at the close is represented as (by those
who were in the Basilica) most moving. As
me bishops issued from the Aula most ct them,
en- their knees at the feet of st. Peters statue
TO give thanks. All will be over by the middle
sf next week.
:. The Close Of the Debate. - The close of the
win long since hove carried the news to every
country Of christendom, il, of course, the only
object Of conversation. yves scarcely looked
when about ten O'Clock in the morning the re-.
tarn of all the bishops from st. Peters told of
some unusual proceedings. A number of
French Catholics, who were on the Piazza of
the Minerva, were unable to restrain their
anxiety, and ventured to arrest the progress
OF one of the returning bishops and ask what
had happened. THE discussion is over, my
glished great work and triumph for the
Church this morning" The news spread in all
directions, and at the midday Masses and all
through the afternoon, kneeling groups were
onmbers, rendering thanks for the happy close
Of the struggle the Church has passed through
All through the day the general joy was evil
sns in an Glasses and one saw
eorso, friends and fellow-workers exchanging
congratulations. The day of the Holy Ghost
HAS aawned e. the words
, French zouave say to his ellow-soldiers, as
they were passing my window: all we have
heard so far has been the tuning of the fddles,
been. Now the chef -d0rckestre has taken his
place and We shall have the grande musique"
The comparison was as true "a it was homely.
Public Seasonal low Mass will be said on
The occasion by the Cardinal Vicar, the Pope
assisting on his throne, and the ceremonial win
DO precisely the same as at the previous public
Sessions. Whether the Corps Diplomatique
viii assist officially OF not, is uncertain, at
With Portugal the present relations very
friendly, AS also with Belgium and the Neither
.anGs. Most of the representatives of the
Great Powers will leave Rome Immediately
after the Council, not for political purposes,
out for t cir annu j and much ged for vaca-
lion. An illumination is talked of, but the
heart is overpowering that think any tetes
save religious ones will prove failure.
Tie Opposition. No chance here of any
schism: Some may stay away rather than
vote Placet at the Public Session: that will be
al. l see some dsgraceful writing in the
Morning Post of the 18th ult. on the subject of
the Council. The author is well known in
Rome; he is simply bad Catholic-not a
Protestant. A traitor from within is of course
more mischieyous than an open enemy out
side, but these things are inevitable. The Ma
Eioae prophesies that the Pope will make a
oeapegoat of the Ciriltd Cdttolica and suppress
IS. 1t is the story of the wolf and sheep dogs,
and likely to remain q fable,o imagine. OF
North American Bishops only three are said to
Belong to the Opposition prominent on the
ether side is Mgr. McCloskey, of Louisville,
one of the best men they have, and thoroughly
Roman, as hear.
Exemption Of Busaess-The next General
Congregation will take place on Saturday or
Monday for the relation and note of the
Fourth Chapter. Mgr. Gasser, Prince Bishop
OF Brixen, will address the Fathers, Mgr. Pie,
icing indisposed since the last Session. The
Third Chapter and it's final amendments were
Eoted in the General Congregation of Tuesday
and hear unanimously.
Eag.ssa Bishops.-A shameful attack on the
Archbishop of Westminster appears in the Ma
ztoae. 1t is the devil like q harpooned whale,
going into his furry" as they say in the
North Sea- Of course he is doing his very
worst.
1As Arnenians.-The fire at Constantinople
has destroyed nearly all the property of Mgr.
Hassan, and has also necessitated some little
delay in the steps taken with regard to the
sehism. There is every hope that they will go
no further, and that their necessity will be In
great measure obviated by the return to their
allegiance of the greatest part of the dissidents
yhe Able Ciraghian, one o. their leadersrhas
made his submission on receiving the letters
addressed to the Armenian body, through Mgr
Blym, and his example will, it is thought, be
generally followed. The Fathers of the Latin
Rite now in Rome have initiated a subscrip-
laOn 1Or the rollel OF the sufferers by the fire !;
among the principal promoters are the Arch
bishops of Westminster and Anazarba (Mgr.
Eyre), Bourges, Mexico, Baltimore, Posen, etc.
Mgr. Howard is secretary to the committee
wtaioA has been organized for general appeal
10 the faithful throughout the world for the
restoration of the churches, converts and vi
eariate which has been destroyed, and the re-
lief of the destitute families who are now
houseless The aims collected will be applied
through the ministry of the Propaganda, and
an account published. a.
Public Horks.-The Tchech Ger Bohemian
nation are about to purchase ii church and
hOspice in Rome: Il work in which Cardinal
Schwartzenburg IL much interested. The site
has not yet been fixed on. The Church of st.
Louis des Francais is under restoration and
will be reopened on the 18th August
The Reporters. - The Pope received the
stenographc corps last week and presented
their director with u silver chalice Mgr.
Fesser has expressed his entire satisfaction at
The way these Jealous and capable young men,
TWO OF whom are Alumni of st. Thomas of
Canterbury, have discharged their very diff
stages of tho Council was sufficient to try the
quickest ear, aud their faith and honor has
never been called in question through all the
miserable treasons which caused the publica-
zion OF Conciliar documents. Treachery there
was, but it did not come from the recording
angels of the Council, from the hand of the
young-and ardent Levites who, knowing and
witnessing all, have been proof against all
temptation, and, what is more difficult at their
age, al imprudence, but have kept intact the
''secEet of the KIM" in the evil days of its too
heqHent betrayals by older and less devoted
nen.
Papal Annirersa,y In CozJa.-From every part
