SOME OF THE HIsREPoRTINCS AND HESITATE

BRooKLrx. Feb. /. 1873.
To the Editor Of the Free Pres and Times
The interests and exeitcnerts Attending
the great civil trial, which is attracting
more attention in the world than aoy other
matter, social or political, have 4 double IN
tensity in this city, It divides the COM
munity here into two classes those who
stand squarely by Mr. Beecher-a class by
no means confined to his own congregation
-; ard these who have already decided the
case against him in their own minds, or
who are suspending Judgment with feeling
that they are likely to decide against hi".
The dividing line between these runs
sharply right through churches, ard BUSH
ness firms. and social circles, and otherwise
harmonious households And there as no
great likelihood that this viii be very
different after the trial i ended. The ser
diet Of the twelve rather stupid men who
compose the jury, Is almost every body ad-

Archbishop Manning has published re-
DIV to Gladstone's famous expostulatlon
which. from the authors eminent position
and acknowledged ability, will doubtless be
generally accepted as an authoritative state
ment Of the views of the church at large on
the subject and will prove the ablest an
swer yet published to the ex-Premiers
charges. The Archbishop's repy-whlch
embraces a pamphlet of some two hundred
pages-has not yet reached this side OF the
ocean, but a cable despatch gives meagre
and imperfect abstract Of its positions and
arguments, from which we CLEAN the follow
ing In the first place, Archbishop Man
ming maintains that the Vatican DEGREES have
not changed the conditions ofcivil allegiance,
and that the allegiance of Catholics Is as IN
divided as that Of Protes:ants, for only qnes-
lions Of conscience could divide it. The
Gcnmenical Council in no way trenched on
the relations Of Church and State, and the re-
cent decree have not extended the power OF
the Pope-for the DEGREES merely declared
doctrine which were a,.eady matters OF
faith. The Pope cannot, therefore, by VIZ
tre ofeither Of these DEGREES, or his supreme
authority. make any claim upon his adher-
ents eta nature to impair the integrity OF
their civil allegiance. lie cannot do an act
contrary to divine law, and to impair eva
allegiance would be contrary % that iaw-
The spiritual authority Of the church was
indirect in its operation on temporal affairs.
1t Indirectly condemns and declares NOT
binding such temporal laws as deviate from
the law Of God, cnd therefore impede the
attainment Of salvation. In regard to the
supposition advanced in an argument that
the Pope might attempt to depose the Queen
of England, the Archbishop remarks that, as
the Queen Is wholly withdrawn from the
Catholic church, every condition is wanting
which would render such deposition justiiia-
be. The Archbishop declares that the
European powers have entered into a syste-
matte conspiracy against the church and
warns them that they are thereby wreeking
themselves. in conclusion, he says Ny
Glads.ono's pamphlet invites Catholics to
rebel against divine authority ard enconr-
ages selie,a, heresy and deadly sin.
