BIN defining the relations between the general
government and the District of Columbia,
which General ChilmsD introduced in the
House Of Representatives this afternoon, and
which follows mp the demonstration In his able

The cry OF the Obstructionists for the past two
years has been that, con account OF the go
called Improvements of the Board of Public
Works, property IN every part of the city has
been damaged and deprecated in value, and
special and general taxes have been made 80
high as to amount virtually to coniscatioA OF
estates" IL they believe this formula, and we
believe they have sworn to il in some shape or
other, they ought to be gratined with the ap-
pointment Of Senator Stewart as chairman of
the joint committee TO investigate District AZ
fairs. Mr.. Stewart is understood to be the
owner Of considerable real estate in Washing
ton, and, in common With other property hold
eTs in the city, he must have felt the heavy
hand OF the Oppressor. He ought, therefore,
according to the reasoning and mode of pro.
eedure adopted by the obstructionists, to be
10th ready and wiling to aid them In visiting
swift vengeance On the heads of those who
have wrought their common ruin. "Let US
have peace"

Why Pere Hyacinthe Resigned at
Geneva.

why EeLo hydClutne heSISneu at
Geneva.
From the Pail Mall Gazette
The resignation of Pere Hyacinthe OF
his functions as Cure Of Geneva has caused
certain sensation, but has taken no one
by surprise. II has put an end 10 state
OF things which for many months past
was becoming more and more intolerable
TO 81. Loyson.
Invited 10 Geneva in the name of the
Liberal Catholics, and elected 10 the pc.
siIiOn OF Cure, he constantly and consist.
emily advocated the reform Of the Church
OF Rome, always insisting that he still be.
lOnged TO that church, loved it, and by
no means wanted 10 overthrow it. He
soon discovered that considerable sec
ton OF the Liberal Catholics were las he
says "neither liberal in sentiment nor
Catholic in religion" and that their oh.
ieCt in supporting him was TO make use
OF him as an instrument for the destruc.
ton OF the church Of which he still pro.
fesses 10 be a member. In addition to
this cause Of his discomfort with the DO.
sition there was another equally strong.
The Constitution Of Geneva, more es-
peCially as remodeled by the laws passed
III April last, gives 10 the secular power,
as represented by the Conseil d'Etst,
great power in regard 10 religious matters,
and places all religious bodies in siugu-
larly subservient and dependent position
in regard to the State. 1t may indeed be
said that the Minister Of Public Instruc-
ton for the time being has considerably
more power In Geneva in matters reliC-
iOus than the Archbishop OF Canterbury
has in the affairs Of the Church of Eng.
land, and pretty nearly as much power as
the Pope claims over Catholics. More
than once PGre HyaCinthe has protested
against being submitted to the iniallibilty
OF NJ. Antoine Carteret (the Minister Of
Public Instruction and free thinker and
his friends, and declared even stronger
objection TO 1t than 10 the infallibility Of
the Pope from which he had fled
These two causes combined 10 render
his position as Catholic cure OF Geneva
intolerable to him; and, as they have been
recently aggravated and threaten TO be-
come still moro so in the failure, he has
solved the difficulty by resignation. His
letter Of resignation, addressed to the Con.
sell d'Etat is not yet made public; but l
am aware that its import Is 10 the above
effect, that he came 10 Geneva with the
object OF aiding in the reform OF the Cath.
ole Church, not in its overthrow (boule-
rerementl and that among the Liberal
Catholics Of the canton he found an inllu.
entail party, which was neither Liberal
nor Catholic.
The resignation Of Pere Hyacinthe will
be severe blow to the religious move
ment with which he was identified. In
short, there are numerous signs of the dis.
solution Of the sect which he has founded. |
The chief causes Of this arc the Pope. like |
authority claimed and exercised by the
civil power, and the influence exercised
by the Liberals" or SeCuarists.

Father Terry, the HcretIcaI Chicago
Priest.

Priest.
Tho following is letter written by q
highly educated Catholic priest to New
York State paper relative TO the celebra.
ted lecture delivered by Father Terry,
formerly Of St. Patrick's Church, Chica.
so, before the Young Mems Catholic Ii.
brary Observation-Disclosures Tribune.
To tho HdItor OF tho Gazette:
You will permit mt 10 request a cor.
rection Of the heading Of an article pub.
lished in your paper Of yesterday, copied
from the New York Graphic. 1t docs
not appear that the error is yours or that
OF the Grdphie, and, in either case, l be.
lieve II was unintenlional. Tho objec.
tionable words are, "a hereticsl Catholic
priest" as he is said 10 be in Chicago.
As heresy Is willlul and obstinate doni.
al OF one or more articles OF divine faith,
II is considered by the Church most
grievous otfense, sufficient reason for
excluding from her communion the per.
son holding such opinion; and in man
OF honor 1t will always prove a motive
powerful enough to lead him to aban-
don, Of his own free will, q church
with whose doctrines his peculiar be-
lief Is incompatible. l know Moth
ing Of Father Terry but what l read
in your article. AS TO the heresles charg.
ed therein against him, there is not the
slightest shadow Of heresy to DO found in
any one Of them. "That the earth was
made In six working days. Is an opinion
