nntely for this theory the Prince has a'-
ready put his hand to something very hse
ST: and, to establish this, we cannot 90
better than cite the Pail Mall Gazette, an
imnart;al witness. The Paris correspon-
/ dert of that paper quotes the COME ne
! Chambord, writing thus in May, 1871 {: "a" II

power. Would to God that such power

as saviours. What.I demand is to iaoor AZ

ISL: " We shall give, as a guarantee lor
has the right to the control of two Cham
bers." Aud in 1859: " Full liberty for the
Church in spiritual affairs ; sovereign IN

suffrage, for which q broad basis OF local
franchise is substituted, the programme
is yery like that which the Standard cor

dence. Only it happens to be extracted

Posen, who, as we said last week, has been
cited before the Prussian Courts to answer
: for his act in appointing priest to ben

l the competence of the Court in the matter.
What he bad done was simply to appoint a
priest of his diocese, Herr Arndt, who was
n already q curate or ricaire, to the post OF
e parish priest of Filehne; and IN declara-

ng .Ssz.in1rists in Prussia The report t
lie which We gave currency on a former occa
nd sion on the authority of the German an

her able to make the correction. Students
