WASHINGTON, November 23.-Ar-
rangements have been made to disin-
ter the bodies of one colonel and six

NEW York, November 23.--Arch-
bishop Bailey, of Maryland, in letter
to friend who called his attention to
the controversy between Gladstone and
Manning, says the formers declaration
that the decree of papal iniallibility i'm
pairs the civil loyalty of those who be-
lieve in it, is a false and shameful cal
umny, and he appeals with perfect
confidence, as to the truth of his asser-
ton, to the conscience of any CATHOLIC
on the face of the earth. 1t has no
foundation either in the words of the
decree nor in any possible logical deduc-
| ton from those words. The thought,
even, that it would have any such
bearing, 1 am certain, never en-
tered into the minds of any menu
Der of the council. The vatican canon
did not change in one iota the relations
of the Catholics to the civil power any
more than it changed those of Protes'
tants. 1t left that important matter,
as connected with the order of civil
society, where the new testament gives
it.

Cruz to Guanajusta. The shocks COM
menced ON the 18th instant. 1t is
thought to threaten the approach of
extraordinary volcanic eruptions.

The resignation of Architect Mullett
is the sensation to-day, and as it af-
fects nearly every southern city, the
following from the critic is telegraph
ed:
Architect Mullett resigned on Sat-
urday. Quite breeze was raised about
the office of the secretary of the treas
ury just after Office hours. 1t appears
that Mr.. A. ID. Mullett, the supervising
architect of the department, visited
the secretary's office, as usual in the
departments. In the course of The
conversation the subject of disbursing
funds for the payment of hands in the
cabinet making department of Mr..
Mullett's Office was brought up. A
difference of opinion was soon made
manifest. Mr.. Mullett desired to con-
troll this matter agreeable to his own
conviction of right, not SO much as he
cared particularly in this especial in
stance, but because this shop was
component part OF an immense rami-
fication, the disturbance of which
would affect the whole machinery of
which he had control.
The secretary said he had concluded
that Mr.. MulIett did not have the power
in this matter, AMI would not be per.
mitted to carry out his wishes in the
matter.
Mr.. Mullett said "Mr. Secretary, 1
would tender my resignation, sir, be-
fore would surrender my control in
this matter" 81 don't care d-n if
you do, Mr.. NJ"
~ do tender my resignation now,
Mr.. Secretary" II accept it at once"
Mr.. M. retired to his office, but this
morning he called on the secretary
and shook hands with him and said he
would call on him again this after
noon, not having any ill feeling in the
matter.
A. X. Shepherd, who has large
contract under Mullett TO fill, was at
the treasury to-day, endeavoring TO
have Mullett withdraw his resignation
and amicably settle the matter with
the secretary. 1t is now understood
that the secretary has rendered the vac
cant place to Mr.. Macarthur, of Phila-
al,
