Causes OF the Religious Agitation In the
East.

Cuuses Oh tne Religious Agitation In the
East.
The causes of the religious ferment and excite
ment which prevail among the churches and congre-
cations OF Armenia, and in Western Asia generally
are very numerous and OF an exceedingly mixed
character, theological and political. They have in
nuenced and disturbed even the holy city of Jeru-
salem, and engendered chickering's and contentious
at the holy shrines. The Armenian clergy deny-a
main point of difference with the Papal See-the
right or the Roman Catholics to oflciate In the
Armenian Convent Of st. James, at Jerusalem, and
for the last three years have refused them admit
lance to the convent on St. James day. The Arme-
mans mai ntain that the convent has never had the
character OF mixed sanctuary, but has been all
along exclusively Armenian property, and that the
right of officiating in it, which the Roman Catholic
priests claim was never anything but q privilege
courteousy conceded by the Armenlans as favor
which they are at liberty at any time to revoke Il
the Armenian convent the Catholic preachers did
not hesitate 10 use injurious expressions regarding
the Armenians, which would account for the latter
maintaining their right of exclusion. In sermon
at st. James one of the Roman Catholic monks is
said to have described IL as "a misfortune to that
sanctuary in the hands of n1dcls,c alluding II was
said, to the Armenians. The Catholics protest
warmly against the proceedings OF the Armenans
and the AFFAIR was, at one time referred to the
Porte. The Sultan was very dilatory in giving
decision, so that the Catholic argument was trans
mtted directly to Rome soon after the dissolution
OF theYVatican Council.
