though 10 extremis. he was still alive. The
Pope asked before Victor Emmanuel died what
would happen if the Quirioal and Vatican
should both become vacant. The peaceful &C.
cession of Kiog Humbert has answered the
first part of his question, and the Conclave OF
Cardinals, that has been called, will soon answer
the second. John Mary Mastai Ferretti was

slitutionaI ground that the federal government

the electors who elected Hayes, were fraudulent
and had no standcg This has as yet been
