ARCHIEPISCOPAL COURTESIES

1t was rumored In certain circles yesterday that
the recent visit OF Archbishop Bayley TO Arch
bishop McCloskey was more than q social one
that IN fact II was nothing more nor less than an
oncial conference as to the advisabiity OF sending
a letter to Archbishop Manning, congrasuating
him. in the name OF the Catholics OF the United
states upon the stand he had taken in opposition
to the British ex-Premer's "expostuation.n A
HERALD reporter paid visit to the archie piscopal
residence last evening to ascertain what founda-
ton there was, If any, Tor the rumor. Archbishop
McCloskey smiled good-naturedly when the re-
porter told him the purport OF his visit ana sald
there was no truth whatever as to the visit being
a conference or anything else regarding the cx-
postuation. As the reporter was leaving the
Archbishop quietly remarked, Gladstone dossn'

board, but it does not follow thence that tho
ocean is winning the victory. On the con-
trary she is built with special reference to
this probability, and like giant dashes the
large waves aside and through clouds Of foam
and cataracts Of spray drives on in gale and
storm. Such is the religious faith of mankind.
Men have always believed in certain spiritual
verities. and the probability is that they will
continue TO believe in them until the planet
bursts, and Tyndall, Huxley, Mill and all the
rest of us ascertain the truth or falsehood Of
our pet theories by actual vision.

out OF moneys committed to his keeping The
law prior to 1873 did not provide for securing
interest on the city deposits, hence the Cham
berlain could not probably have been COM
PEELED to secure interest from the banks. But
if he did secure and receive such interest,
then he was bound to pay it over to
the city, after deducting his Office ex-
penses; for sit would be monstrous
doctrine, and one which is contrary
to all principles of equity, that the Chamber
lain should be allowed to make bargains in
respect to the funds in his hands as trustee
which should inure solely to his own personal
benefit" Third-Under the act of 1879 any
taxpayer Of the city has the same right as the
Mayor, Aldermen and Commonalty would
have to maintain an action to prevent the loss
Of any property belonging to the city.
The demurrer interposed by the defendant
Palmer being overruled, he is required and
hos leave to answer the complaint. The re-
suit of the suit will then probably turn on
the evidence as to whether the Chamberlain
did or did not receive interest on the city
balances after the service of Mr.. Green's
notice on the banks Of deposit. As Mr..
Palmer was both banker and Chamberlain
this will involve . nice point of law. Un-
fortunately it is yet uncertain whether the city
will finally recover the amount which, but for
the Comptroller's stubbornness and rancor,
would have long since been paid into the city

Advent Pulpit Topics.

The Advent season opens to-day, yet not
many of our city pastors will make special
reference in their pulpit discourses to it. DR..
Rylance will introduce the ritual year and
indicate the preparation that is taking place
in the world for the advent Of Christ. DR..
Washburn will take occasion to-day and on
successive Sundays to present some reflections,
religious and historical on primitive and
present Christianity. The whole creation
groaneth and travaileth in pain, from which.
as the Catholic Apostolic preacher declares, it
can be delivered only by the coming Of the
Lord Jesus Christ, whose conception by the
Virgin Mary DR.. Preston maintains and will
endeavor to show this evening. was i'm

abounding generosity and His eternal purpose

intermediate period ho v to fight the battle of
Christ over the bondage Of sin, as Mr.. Sweet

II, as some persons maintain, hell is filled
or filling up with lost souls, it is well to know
how to empty that place. Mr.. Ware will this
evening offer Robert Falconer's plan for empty
ing hell, in lieu of better plan by any one
else. 1t seems to us it would be better not to
get there at all than to be emptied out after
one goes there. And the way to escape hell
and the terrors of the Judgment Day
is to be perfect, and Mr.. Corbit
will tell us how we can be so.
But can an imperfect man show us the way to
perfection? There are many perils in the
path of the young, some Of which Mr.. Phelps
will point out. Escape from those perils
will bring not only present but permanent
satisfaction in this life, about which Mr..
Pullman will speak. In the midst of our un-
holy Sabbath amusements DR.. Deems will
suggest holy play for US whereby we need not
offend God or man, and, if we do, we can
pray for forgiveness, as David did, and con-
cerning which Mr.. Hawthorne will discourse

Our CORRESPONDENT IN SPAIN. Happily
we are able to chronicle the release from a
Spanish prison of our correspondent, Mr.
MacGahan, who as previously reported, was
taken by the Spanish soldiery at Fontarabia,
and, though released by them, was subse-
quently thrown into prison by some super
serviceable official funky at Santander.
MacGahan has, in the service Of this jour
nal, passed through more than the usual
perils that beset the steps of correspondents
in their generally difficult and often danger
GUS attendance on great enterprises, but has
always come handsomely through at last, and
the star of his good fortune is evidently not
dimmed yet He passed through the Khivan
expedition, as our readers may remember. and
was alone in the desert, with two or three
plundering savages, for many days, and ap-
prehenson was naturally excited for his vel
fare then. But savage though they were, the
desert wild men were human after oil, and
apprehension was naturally far graver when
this gentleman was in the hands of the Span
ish and it was known to them that be was an
American.

The Lost Interest on the City De-
posits.

The decision rendered by Judge Van Brunt,
in the suit brought in the name of a taxpayer
of the city against ex-Citv Chamberlain
Palmer and the city deposit banks, to compel
the payment into the public treasury Of GER
tain moneys accruing from interest on the
city deposits during Mr.. Palmers term of
Office, embraces some interesting points, al
though it settles only side issue in the case.
From 1867 until December, 1872, interest
on the city deposits was collected of the
banks by the Chamberlain and paid into the
city treasury. At that time Comptroller
Green addressed letter to the banks of
deposit, notifying them that the payment of
interest to the Chamberlain was illegal, for
bidding such payment and claiming that any
interest allowed by them on deposits must be
credited directly to the city and paid only to
the city and county on a regular warrant
Mr.. Palmer became Chamberlain Immediately
after this action had been taken by the Comp
troller. He was also President of the Broad
way Bank and his deputy was President of the
Tenth National Bank, both banks of deposit
The objection interposed by Comptroller Green
was a mere technicality, induced by personal
motives, but it stopped the payment OF interest
on the deposits. The present suit was brought
to compel both ex-Chamberain Palmer and
the banks of deposit to pay over to the city the
interest on the daily balances unpaid during
Mr.. Palmer's official term. The complaint
sets forth the facts and alleges that the interest
was paid or credited to Mr. Palmer by the
deposit banks. The defendant, Palmer.
without answering as to the facts, demurred
to the complaint that it did not set forth
sufficient ground for action.
1t is on this demurrer that Judge Van
Brunts decision is given. The demurrer is
overruled and the following important points
are involved in the decision. First-The
Chamberlain of the city and not the banks of
deposit are liable to the city The Comp
troller's claim, on which all the trouble was
based, that the banks were bound to pay the
interest moneys directly to the city and
county, is unsound and inadmissible. Action
cannot be maintained against the banks, but
may be brought against the city official.
Second-The Chamberlain is a trustee. and
must account for all the profits he may make

Thoughts OF tho Religious Press.

A few of our exchanges keep up the changes
on MIR. Gladstone's attack on the Papacy.
The Observer thinks he has proved very clearly
that the infallibility dogma necessitates the
claim of supreme authority over the members
of the Church of Rome, so that if the will of
the Pope conflicts with the will of the govern
ment-that is, with the laws of the land-the
Pope must be obeyed. Archbishop Manning
has tried to explain this away, but the Observer
rather has made it worse. The Boston Pilot,
quoting Mr. Gladstone's assertion that the
change in Catholic citizenship and loyalty dates
to the DEGREES of the Vatican Council in July,
1870, asks why he did not then speak out and
deliver himself of the great thought which
struggled within him. He allowed those
years to pass away, and not only uttered no
protest, but bore himself toward Catholics and
Catholicism with so much friendliness as to
excite the rage and anger of English bigots
against himself The Pilot says that SO long
as Mr.. Gladstone could obtain the Catholic
vote he was the friend of Catholicity, but
when he saw that his rival was winning popu-
larity by posing as the Protestant hero he un-
furled the "No Popery' flag. The Baptist
Weelcly thinks that it will require more than a
mere denial of the charge of disloyalty to
convince those familiar with Romanism that
its adherents are not resting under presump-
tive obligations to the Pope utterly incon-
sistent with true citizenship. The Pope, adds
the Weekly claims to be more than prelate,
and Romanism is not simply religion. All
civil government is held, by the DEGREES of the
Vatican, to be subordinate to the authority of
the Church, and the Weekly cites instances of
the pretensions of the Pope to the exercise of
this supreme authority. The Methodist is
delighted because the ex-Premier of Eng
land has reiterated its own utterances
regarding the Papacy in perhaps more
forcible language than its own. 1t quotes
from Lord Acton and Sir George Bowyer to
show that they differ in their Interpretation of
the Vatican DEGREES from Archbishop Man.
ming. They discard the DEGREES that they
may maintain loyal citizenship, and the
Methodist thinks that this will lead to division
in the ranks of English Roman Catholics
The Catholic ReUieU denies that "Rome is re-
furnishing every rusty weapon of her ar
mory," and adds that her weapons are work
and prayer which she never allows to grow
rusty. She calls to-day to her service more
warriors than ever in the reformation Of the
intemperate, in the relief of the emigrant
and the travelling workingman, in the susie
nance of orphan and MaRdalen asylums, in

PApAL INFALLIBIIIrY.-TheB Bishop of Rich
mond in letter TO the HERALD compactly.
but fully gives his views upon the the Glad
stone-Manning controversy. The eminent
prelate afirms that the declaration Of tho
Popes infallibility by the Ecumenical Council
does not in the slightest degree alter the rela-
tions existing between the temporal and spir-
itual powers, but is merely formal afRrma-
ton of doctrine which has been admitted
during the whole existence of the Church.
The definition of infallibility, according to
Bishop Gibbons, strictly confines the Papal
prerogative to faith and morals, and he de-
clares that Catholics have suffered too much
in the sacred cause of liberty to raise their
hands against it He thinks it strange that,
while Mr.. Gladstone trembles at the imaginary
authority Of the Pope over the State, he
should be Indifferent to the actual tyranny of
Bismarck over religion, and this surprise
most persons are obliged to share.
