who considered that the Vatican DEGREES gave
evidence Of tho threatening character OF the
Roman policy. With the overthrow Of the
University bill it became evident that the
Catholics were satisfied with nothing less than
sovereign authority. Gladstone, driven from
Office. was free to speak, yet he might havo re-

THE sspALL MALL aAzErTEs" REBuxr.
The Pail Mall Gose4e says the success Of
the pamphlet is due to the fact that it is the
throwing Of the apple Of discord among
Catholics, some admitting and others denying
charge in the obligations due to the civil
power. Consequently Mr.. Gladstone was not
right in Hinging firebrand among religious
community forming part of people who
may again govern. It was no concern Of
Gladstones whether Catholic principles lead
to disloyalty. It is no part of statesman's 8
duty to raise popular outcry while the dangers
remain theoretical Had Gladstone paid
attention to the controversies now going on
he would surely know that the public is fully
alive to all dangers. Therefore, even on
speculative grounds, the pamphlet was un-
necessary on political grounds it was un-
wise.
GLADSTONE NOT REvERENT.
The Post says reverence tor our institutions
is not Gladstone's strong point This is not
his first miscalculation.
THE EFFECT IN GERMANY.
Yesterdays Pail Mall Gazette says Gladstone's
pamphlet has given the greatest satisfaction in
Germany, but the principle Of religious liberty
adopted by England cannot be affected by the
failure Of this or any other sect. The Times
of the 9th held similar propositions, and the
Standard went much further yesterday.
DISTINGUISHED WRITER'S TO THE HERALD
The letter of Archbishop Manning to the
Herald was published in all the other morn
ing papers yesterday, but there are no further
comments, except that the Morning Advertiser
says that the Archbishop has adopted the pre-
vailing mode among distinguished writer's of
addressing a manifesto to the editor of the
New YORK HERALD, who probably cabled the
entire letter. The Advertiser then says it is
utterly
UNABLE TO RECONCILE
Gladstone's conduct, and can only sunmise
that he is enamored with Old Catholicism.
Should he really join the Dollinger party,
friends of forty-fve years standing would
moro deeply resent it even than Protestant
hostility. The story, if true, forms singular
episode in the career of gifted but erratic
and inconsistent statesman.
DOES GLADSTONE CONTEMPLATE OLD cATHo1I-
CIsM?
Private rumors prevail in certain circles
that Dr. Dollinger inspired Gladstone's pam.
phlet. The Daily Telegraph denies this; but
the popular belief is that Gladstone, together
with Lord Acton, contemplates the organiza-
ton of an English Old Catholic party. The
ritualists would ultimately adhere to this
party. The rumor gained credence from the
fact that last week Gladstone sojourned with
Lord Acton. The latter was educated at
Munich, under DR.. Dollinger.
The Pope Repadiates Gladstone and His
Manifesto.
ROME, Nov. 10, 1874
His Holiness Plus TX. to-day granted an
audience to deputation of British Catho-
lies who had come to the Vatican to express
to His Holiness "the steadfast allegiance of
the Catholics of Great Britain to the Church
of Rome
In reply to an address presented by the
deputation, the Pope referred in bitter terms
to the anti-Papal manifesto issued by Mr..
Gladstone. He said that "Gladstone had be-
come intoxicated by the proceedings of Prince
Bismarck against the Church, and, like viper,
assailed st. Peter
WILL NOT READ THE PAPER.
In answer to question whether he had
read Mr.. Gladstone's manifesto His Holiness
replied, mo, am not desirous Of reading
Gladstones blasphemies."
