THE eIosE-coNv1crEp AND SENTENCED.

THE 0LOSE-CONV1CTED AND sENTENCED.
The two senators then proceeded to ad-
dress the court briefly on behalf of the dis
cause with great ability. Showed that it
was simply in the discharge of duty more
sacred and binding upon him than could
be imposed by the government, that he
had proceeded in accordance with the com
mands of his ecclesiastical superior against
the brotherhoods and against associations
under the ban of the church. But the
doom of the unfortunate bishop was seal
ed. Immediately after the defence closed,
the court went into secret consultation.
The spectators and all except the officers
of the court were excluded, and the doors
of the chamber were closed. At three
o'clock the doors were again opened. A
brilliant and interested audience was again
in attendance. The president then arose
from his seat, and addressing each of his
associates by name he demanded his Jugd-
ment as to the guilt or innocence of the
bishop of Olinda, his grace, Jose Mendoza
Gonsalvo, incumbent of Pernambuco, and
a prince of the church of Brazil. Six of
the judges responded, 'Guilty of the
charge of grave offence against the laws
of the empire"
sAnd what penalty shall be inflicted 7"
'Four years of close imprisonment with
hard labor" was the answer of six of the
judges.
One was for light penalty, and one was
for acQuittal.
The president, in accordance with the
judgment of the supreme tribunal of JUS
tice, then proceeded to pronounce sentence
against the offending bishop, consigning
him to the penitentiary with hard labor
for the space of four years.
HOW THE PEOPLE REGARD THE RESULT.
The result of the trial was we'll received
by the masses of the people, though great
sympathy is felt by them for the dlstin-
guished victim. The bishop of Olinda was
universally popular, and has the reputation
of being man of unblemished purity of
character, a thing hard to find in this coun-
try. In his personal conduct he was re
garded as very holy man, and wish is
expressed even among the strongest enc
mics of Ultramontanism, that his majesty
the emperor will commute the hard SEN
| tence Of the court and send him into exile.
Meanwhile the strife goes on, and the con-
troversy wakes warm. The clergy threaten
dynasty and the Liberalists as earnestly
demand the subsection of the church to
the state. The end is not yet. Brazil is
just entering upon period of discussion
that may end in the subversion of the pre-
sent order of things, in truth, so strongly
and firmly established are the secret So
cieties, and especially the order of Free
masons, that it will be utterly impractical
BILE to enforce the DEGREES against them.
The clergy are really powerless to carry
out the papal edicts touching these orders.
The chief nobility of the empire, the gen.
try, the wealthy and educated classes of
men, are almost all members of the Mas
ouic or other fraternities. To add to the
complications of the situation many of the
inferior clergy of the country are also
Masons DA LAsUNA.
