that purchases Of stamps were made, sales

The bill Withdrawing State grsnhlo
Roman Catholic Bishops was passed in
tile German Landtag on Thursday by an
overwhelming majority. Prince Bis.
marck Ia said to have taken an active
part in the debate, demanding that all
aid given to the Bishops by Prussia DO
withheld, as IL was not the duty ofthe
Government to pay men for fomenting
instruction. This Ia one Of the most ef-
fective blows that Prince bismarck has
yet dealt in his conflict wlth1he Romish
Church, and its effect will probably beto
augment the excitement and intensity the
strife. II Is not probable that the church
will submit quietly to law which de-
prives her Of a large revenue which she
has enjoyed unintOrruptedly for years.
Whatever opposition she makes, 1t 10 not
likely the government will recede q step.
With large majority oitho Parliament
in his favor, and the support Of the Ger.
man people, Prince Bismarck will con.
tinue his bold measures until he has com.
plctely loosened the hold The Catholic
Church has had upon Germany for-the
last twelvO:centuries. II
