auds:
For a dispatch OF twenty words, notifying
the mayor Of ChicagO that the Albany Two
graphical Union had subscribed s25D, a charge
Of s4.52-double the usual rate-was made. In
this case the himsy excuse of extra expense
certainly could not apply, and there seems
nothing 20 qualify its being a case or extortion

This is even worse than we supposed when our

Notice.

II having come to our knowledge that some of
the newsbOys and others engaged in selling The
EVENING STAR are in the habit of charging five
cents for the double sheet issues, on account Of
the extra quantity of reading matter they con-
tain, we desire the public to understand that
such action is wholly unauthorized and i'm
proper. The double sheets are published, not
for the advantage of those engaged in selling
the paper, nor for our own, but, at very cOnsid-
cradle extra cost to ourselves, for the sole ben

the ordinary issue, and containing much more
than double its average quantity of reading

The sold Catholic Congress at Mu-
fah


One OF the first declarations of this congress
OF Catholics, who follow DOllinger and refuse to
accept the iniallibility dogma, was that they are
and ever will remain Catholics; and this deter
minatiOn they emphasized on all occasions; but
the very fact that they did 50 emphasize it shows
their mstrust in its continued possibility though
this they are evidently far from acknowledging,
even to themselves. Won Dollinger, however, is
far keener-sighted, and attempted TO deter the
assembly from passing resolution to inaugurate
new priests and form new parishes, saying that
from lifelong and most careful study of the
history Of the church, from an intimate knOwl-
edge Of churches and sects in England and
America, he was convinced that "such a sepa-
rate setting up or our tabernacle will be in the
eyes Of the world, and is in fact, a deserrion of
the old temple, which, whatever it's priests and
chief functions may do, will remain the SAM
splendid old building still. Our opponents have
the power, will always be in the majority. and
the world, and especially government, Will, re-
cognize them as TIE Catholic church, and rs
however long andloudly we may claim to be the
only pure and true receptacles of the faith.as
but sect On the other hand, Professor Won
Schultz held the hour for separation to have
come 1t was resolved accordingly to appoint
standing committee To act as central authority;
and priests are to be appointed to the scattered
congregations, and to be openly Acknowledged
in their characters, where Catholic bishops re-
fuse TO perform the episcopal functions. Re
course is TO be had, in case Of need, even to new
Catholic bishops. With this point the perfect
Sehlsm l. established. As a matter invoked in
the separation, the standing committee is au-
thorlZed to open negotiations with government
for al least part of the property belonging to
CathOhc churches, on the ground that il repre-
sents the church with which cOncortlats or tre1-
ties were made, and to which buildings and en-
dOwments were left.
