PAPAL TACTICS.
Now tnat the first trial has answered we may eX
pect the plan to be repeated, and every time that .he
opp0Sitlonsts grow prosy, some spicy little nfali
biis VIII lump out with Ills closing proposition sure
OF being backed by the majority, and confident OF
pleasing the Pope so that's wnd-up ut the end othis
month, for the festival OF ST. Peter, Is 10y no means
so improbable as appeared at the date or my last
letter when was supposed that the discussion OF so
important subject as the pope's prmacy ana IN
ralibiliIy would be patiently and conscientiou!ly
carried out In obedience TO the commands OF his
Holiness.
WHAT is DONE.
On the 4th instant the pTEHttunl or preface not u
| very important document, passed by q unanimous
| vote OF the assembled fathers. 1t was especially
| when he detained against the danger OF making
| new and positive dogmatcal definitions merely out
| OF compatsance To the wishes OF party in the
Church. that the legates warned the orator tnat he
was outstepping the due limits to be observed in the
| tribune ana IL their eminences were really in the
| plot as t is asserted some If not all fiye OF them
| were, this was the preconcerted signal for Mgr.
| Mermllod TO call out FINS tntDoaatt1 discus
stontn and to brandish his previously prepared and
| signed petition Tor the close OF the debate.
In vain the bishops OF the opposition, scattered
! here and there throughout the assembly, where the
fathers are placed not according to their opinions,
but TO their episcopal seniority invited the legates
to impose silence the nterrupting parties and al
| low Mgr. Maret to proceed with his speech The
Cardinal Dean Of the Legates rang his Official bell and
Informed the assembly that by the eleventh article
| OF the appendix TO the Council Regulation the Sig
natures OF ten fathers 10 petition for vote on the
|
sufced to obtain the opinion Of the assembly, the
fathers in favor OF the closure OF the debate having
only to stand up While these IN favor Of its con.
tinuance would remain sitting. As the petition just
presented by the Bishop OF Hebron i1 DnTti6us
Mgr. MerInilod, to that effect bore upwards OF loo
signatures the Cardinal felt justified in inviting the
| fathers TO vote forthwith, which they accordingly
| did, q large majority standing up.
The Legate al once rang his bell, declared the de-
bate the schema In general to be concluded, and
announced that the debate on the particular clauses
| would commence on the following Monday
On the 5th inst. it was anticipated that the two
FIRST chapters OF the schema, relating to the institu
ton OF the prinacy over the Church in the person Of
| St. Peter, and its continuation toh is successors
| would also pass without opposition as only three
orators had TO speak on the subjective in favor o.
| and one against IL.
II this proves correct the third chapter viii be OF
| equally easy solution, and we shall expect the chic
tusse at the fourth which treats OF the Popes per
sonal infalllbty, and still more at the addition o
the anathema clause against all unbeevers in tn,
new dogma.
INFERENCEs.
| Some persons think that the POpe's success vii
be in reality more dsadvantageOus to his cause thar
| failure would have been; but we must reflect tina
| the moment dogma has been promulgated by o!

ollcs to subscribe TO it, under penalty OF exconmu
