The Herald of to-day publishes a
letter written by Arch bishop Bayley,
of Baltimore, giving his views re-
| speeding the statements made in
Gladstone's anti-Papal pamphlet.
The Archbishop emphatically denies
| the statement that the Vatican de-
| crees are in conflict with civil allie
glance. He attributes Gladstone's
attack upon Catholicism to political
motives, and that he is endeavOring
to raise a whirlwind in order that the
Pope may blow him back on the
| Treasury benches, but it will be
more likely to blow him out to sea.
He doubts very much whether Glad
stones movement will be successful
even among the English people.

New York, Nov. 23.-There is a
great deal of excitement among the
subordinate officers of the Treasury
in Washington, on account of the
new method of treating their reports
to the Secretary. They find a most
surprising departure from the usual
routine, and in several instances
their productions have been returned
for changes, when they have over
stepped the bounds of their duty and
made recommendation not in har-
mony with the Secretary's views.
This has been going on very quietly,
and no publicity was intended to be
given to the matter; but it has
finally leaked out. The ambitious
essays of several of the officers have
been badly cut, and they have found
in very convincing manner, that
the Department. is not drifting, but
that it is to be held firmly to a def
mite course. which the Secretary will
work out for himself.
The Pacific Mail Company has be-
gun an action against the Union Pa

Pacific should send so much freight
per month over the Pacific Mail,
where ships should be in readiness
to take it. The Pacific Mail allege

but that the Union Pacific has failed
to fulfil its contract. There was
clause in the agreement providing
that each should be entitled to dis
solve the contract upon thirty days
notice. The Pacific Mail gave notice
and the Union Pacific refused to
come to account, although it is al
legged that it was debtor to the for
mer company; hence the suit. On
Saturday an order was obtained in
the Supreme Court 10 show cause
why defendants should not furnish
bill of particulars.
The Herald's Washington special
says there is not the slightest proba-
bility of the re-enacting of the law
repealed by the Forty-second Con-
gress for converting the next Con-
gress on the 4th of March. The Re-
publicans oppose it. The reorgani-
cation of the Cabinet, it is said, takes
effect after the 4th of March. 1t is
