THE POPE AND THE JESUITs.

The London Hoatg pu Dlishes the following ex.
tract from a letter written by gentleman In
Rome, whose sources OF Information, 1t Is as
serted, may be thoroughly rened uPon:-
During the reign Of Plus TX. THE governing
power OF the Cnria Romano has been transferred
TO the Jesults. The theory ~ that the Curia Is an
organization OF he various congregations OF MIN
isterial departments submitting their vie VS. 10
and receiving tAeir orders from The Pope. But In
practice the action Of the Cura has come TO be the
action OF the Jesults This action Shapes itself
adversely In different countries; for example, III

while ia England 1t takes totally dlHerent Inc.
Tue modern power OF the JeSults dates from the
year 1s4s. when they persuaded the Pope, during
the popular movements OF mat time, that they
and they alone were his friends. Taeir nattery
that none but themselves appreciated MS genius
ana piety had It's natural effect Their t1rst I'M
portant step was TO NIL the nuactdtureS, or lega-
lions, and the bsnoprcs everywhere with per-
sons subject To Jesuit IN nuence. Tne consequence
OF this the dismissal OF every oflcla suspected

Pope daily Ior long pefioo anG moulded MS

lamatlon Of the immaculate conception and the
syllabus, TO the Vatican Council ana It's decara-
ton OF the Pope's lnlahDllty TO strengthen their
mold these men brought to Rome and published
just below the vatican their organ, the CtUiLtG
CattOticd. By degrees al the surroundings OF the
Pope became more ana more Jesullca, each
episcopal vacancy as II occurred being hlled by
prelate with Jesuit tendencies. These things so
annoyed the cardinals that they nominated Patrizl
Ca dinal Vicar OF Rome on purpose that ne might
have tue daily opportunlty of selng the Pope and
influencing his administration. In the College OF
Cardinals Itself opposition TO the Jesuits was de-
cared. and Cardinal d'Andres went TO Naples
ana there published a protest which greatly mi
tated the Pope. He was aured back 10 Rome by
the promise mat II he would remain quiet moth
ing would be said OF ms ndIscretion but mis- first
interview with the Pope was so stormy Jnat the
Cardinal took TO his bed ana shortly died, IL was

Barrllt, warned by this event, said, IL will keep

rne Council was subjected to q complete sys-
TEN OF Jesuit espionage, and upon every prelate
OF emnence some Jesuit agent was fastened.
Jesuit influence mad equally affected all
cent stLtngs OF the COnslstory and the Domina-
tons OF bishops. Many OF the English bishops
sent the strongest possible remonstrahce TO the
Pope against tine elevation OF Manning to the car
dlnalste, and tne election was secured by the
Jesuit influence, so that Manning Is pledged TO 90
all In his power 10 bring ABOUT their ENDS. Tne

OF the black Pope, FatAcr BeckX. Wherever
the Jesuits are attacked precisely the same re-
suits will follow that Bismarck began TO eXpe-
Renee three years ago. WHen he commenced MS
antl-Jesuit campaign. These consIdera are
important r the statesmen In those countries in
whlca tue inevitable contest mas begun or Is about
to begin. 1t is doubtful whether, lr tne Pope led
Tomorrow, an ultramontane or u Jesuit success
sOr would follow. Cardinal Francnl, with Jesuit
tendencies, believes that he would be elected.
THc Jesults nave led Manning 10 believe that he
has the best cnancs. should a new Datcn OF cardi-
decidedly pIedonlnate That the election OF
Jesuit Pope will be inevitable. ana that will be
the beginning OF the end. should any other than
an Italian De elected open scnsm OF the nom

event. IN that case q terce domestic war IN every
household prolessediy Catholic would ensue. The
Jesuits declare that they look with nope to Eng
land. sincere ana humole Christians OF all per-
suasions also look 10 England. hoping to 1nd ner,
heretofore, the champion OF intellectual, moral
and religious lie and light.
