BUReH RECToRsHIP THE AUSTRIAN
RUSSIAN BOUNDARY QUESTION.
NEW YoRK, Nov. ia HERALD cable special
says the controversy between Gladstone and
Archbishop Manning exeites profound interest.
Gladstone has Issued > pamphlet entitled, 'sThe
Vatican DEGREES, which centre on = proposition
that.obedienee to the Pope Is incompatible with
civil allegiance IL declares no one can become
q convert to Rome without renouncing moral and
mental freedom, and placing civil loyalty and
duty at the mercy Of another. The Vatican
claims more than infanibility; It demands ALSO
lutte and entire obedience. Gladstone warns
Englishmen TO marshal themselves against these
Fernieious assumptions, and calls upon Catholics
to prove them harmless or reject them.
ARCHBISHOP MAAEIse's ARsUlEHT.
Arehbishop Manning, IA . letter Of Nov. 10
to the Herald, asserts that he assisted IN framing
the Vatican DEGREES, which have not changed
enc Ot or little the obligations Of civil Obedisnee
that Catholics bear towards the civil power, and
in proof thereof asserts that thedOcrine Of infAl
bility was divine trust before the Vatican c0un-
ell was held; that the council announced no new
dogma, but simply declared an old truth; that
the position Of Catholics in respect to civil allie
glance, is precisely before; that the civil pow
ers Of the Christian world hitherto stood In
peaceful relations with the infsllibls church, and
this relation was often recognised and declared
In councils Of the Church before the Vatican
council, and that council made no DEGREES In re-
gard to the civil powers, nsF on civil allegiance,
this subject being never even proposed,
I The Archbishop says civil obedience rests on
natural law; revealed truth is the law Of God.
Society Is founded in nature, and subjects are
bound in all things which lawful 10 obey their
rulers. Mr.. Gladstons's argument hangs upon
erroneous assumption, and I can only suppose
him to have been misled By misplaced trust IN
On. DoIlinger and his friends. But for my belief
in Gladstone's Einoetity should say It was an
act Of injustice out Of harmony with the great
statesman's life, and unless the province Of God
and the good sense Of Englishmen avert its evil
consequences may tArnish his great name

SOME OF Won ARHIN's DOCUMENTS.
BERLIE, Nov. 1A-The second arrest Of Count
Won Amin has caused painful impression In
this city. The moderate newspapers insist upon
an explanation BY the Government. The "Kreuz
Zeitung" says that Count Won AFnim after his
release on bail from imprisonment found several
Of the missing documents, which were only mis-
laid. He delivered them to his counsel, Dr..
Munkel, with instructions to remit them immedi-
Ately 20 the Municipal Court Of Berlin, which
the latter did. The possibility Of DR.. Munksl
having acquainted himself OF the contents Of
those documents appears to have been the reason
for the re-aTTest of the Count. DR.. Munkel was
examined to-day, but refused to make any state
ment, on the ground that his position as counsel
was privileged.

HIS VIEWS WILL BE RESERVED FOR
CONGRESS.
A correspondents of the New York Herdld, who
met Gen. Butler In Boston, reports tie follOK.ng
as the result Of the interview:
There has been quite feeling stirred up dur
ing the last few days concerning the probable fu-
ture political movements Of Gen. Butler. The
mass Of the papers VIGOROUSLY hostile to hum
have been filed with paragraphs predicting all
sorts Of startling movements on the part Of the
Tanquished Congressman, and those journals
which have heretofore manifested q friendly
spirit have also talked seriously Of possible
coup d'staf, which would show that his defeat in
the late election has only stimulated the General
to some fresh and bold attempt TO remain in the
exciting political area Of the present or future
period. The fact that since the election he has
maintained dignifed silence concerning the po-
ntical landslide has Influenced many to believe
that he was either smarting and fading away un-
der defeat, or that he Was actually coneeiVing
and about 70 put into execution some plot Of ter
rIble revenge, which would wipe out forever what
little remains around here Of the once powerful
Republican party.
In view Of all these startling rumors thought
