NEW York, November 30.-Bishop Glib
bons, of Richmond, Va, in letter to the
Herald, gives his views upon the Gladstone
Manning controversy. He affirms that the
the Ecumenical- Council does not. in the
slightest degree, alter the relations existing
between the temporal and spiritual powers,
but is merelya formal affirmation of the
doctrine which has been admitted during
the whole existence of the church. The
definition of infallibility, according to
Bishop Gibbons, strictly confines the pre-
negative to faith and morals; and he de-
clares that the Catholics have suffered too
much in the sacred cause of liberty to raise
their hands against it, He thinks it strange
that while Gladstone trembles at the imag-
mary authority of the Pope over the State,
he should be indifferent to the actual tyr
amy of Bismarck over religion.
