Pastoral from n Catholic Bishop.
CLEVELAND, July Sth.-To-day's Catholic
UJsiuerse contains lengthy and forcible
pastoral by Bishop GiInour On the attempted
assassination of the President. 1t begins
"Os all crimes, murder is the most terrible
known to society, but when the life OF the
Chief Magistrate of country is assailed,
there is not only malice OF murder in act, but
an attack on authority. Now, authority is Of
God. Kings and magistrates hold from God |;
their power is from the people, hence any
attack upon a magistrate as a magistrate is an
attack upon God" The letter closes g To

Awaiting the fateful issue which hangs like

detailed history of the crime from its ineep-

about the facts. 1t is proper to say that
there are no startling revelations IL

no question but chat he is rational and sane
| / will say, in addition, that l think it cruel
considering the fevered state of the public
mind on this subject and the horror with
which every one regards the assassin, that

nection with him. He is an egotistical, pre-
suuing and dishonest man, attempting x
! borrow of people, claiming acquaintance
with persons whom he only knew BY the fac
of his going to them and speaking
to them; speaking of persons as hi
| friends whom he had no acquaintance
with az all, and attempting to obtain money
| by representing himself as a man OF grea
| political influence both here and in New
| York To mention names OF other citizen
in connection with him at this time is i'm
proper and unjust. While everybody wht
| has known anything about this man at al
has been perfectly willing TO detail to me hi
entire relations with Guitteau, still there il
| scarcely one Of them but had requested hi!
name to be kept from the public.
