THE CATHOLICS AND THE GERMAN
EMPEROR.
The London Times publishes the fol- |
Owingsent it by Archbishop Manning.
: "A letter has appeared in the AQinseer
Journal from Bishop Won Kettler, of
Mainse, addressed to the German en-
leror, IN which the latter was challenged
o prove the assertions against the loyal
y Of the German Catholics contained
n his reply to the other letter. 1t runs
IS follows: Your majesty has charged
Is in the face of Europe with disloyal
ntrigues. Now our agitation b
ither been conducted within the limits
4 the laws, and in that case you were
lot justified in bringing this charge
gainst Us or that our conduct has trans
ressed the laws, aud, accordingly, that
re have committed the crime OF treason.
Vii your majesty then order your gov
on tie ground of facts which
aust be at your disposal, in the pres
nee of such a charge, to indict our
saders as traitors? After your majesty
as uttered as unrightful an accusation
gainst honor, integrity and loyalty,
{ least, allow US to prove to you how
Uniformed you have been.' It appears
nat there is a second letter from the
ope to the emperor, which the latter
as not published, and which the CathO- !
cs say be is afraid to publish"
The London Telegraph says: "There :
as been recently published at Rome a
ew constitution, beginning iROmGnus
0RtyeT, concerning Uie0Ts cdpitul0g
nd persons elected to vacant sees by
vii power. 1t bears the date of the q
fteenth Of October last, and appears
for the nomination to the 7
acant see Of Sulda. Doubts are ex-
ressed in high Catholic circles whether
he German kaiser will brave the cen

latters It prOnOunces that the chapter

void and null. It also af- C
