The pope in letter to Cardinal McCabe,
of which copies have been sent all bishops,
congratulates them on their zeal in calming
the country and guiding the people. He
regrets that evil societies have not ceased to
trust to deeds of chine, but seek remedies that
lead to the destruction Of the faithful. The
people should be firmly persuaded that the
national cause should be kept distinct from
the deeds of these unhallowed associations.
He suggests that leave to attend
popular meetings should only be

whose wisdom the bishops have especial
confidence as able to guide an excited as
sembly and efend iudicious courses The
clergy, thus constituted Guardians of the

SENATE.-There was long and earnest
debate on the tariff The FIRST thing taken
up was iron bars, flats and rods. Senator
Beck proposed to make sweeping reduc-
tion which was not agreed to; but Brown,

senator's action caused some surprise
at first because he had been up to
this time resisting every effort at reduction.
Mr.. Browns motion was to make the tariff
on bar iron $l8 per ton. On fats 500, and
rods $22 per ton: The rate fixed by The COM
mittee's Eli Wis per bound, but was. equal
to $3.50 on bars, S22. 40 on flats, and $24.-

of the proposition was for the first
