ST. PAUL. MIN, Aug. 10, 1875.
My Dear Mr. Keiley.-YOur letter
from Geneva referring 70 the aluslon
recently made by me from our Caths-

you are suffering has found me here IN
the far West. conducting some spiritual
retreats Tor the clergy.
Yes. dear friend, ] alluded to the

descrvedly esteemed Catholic. OF the
Diocese Of Richmond. and one ofthe mos;
bonored citizens Of Virginia, but
through him to al his fellow Catho-
lies and fellow-citizens II this country,
and to the Holy Father himself. But
IN this insult 10 you ! can see no

unwelcome by q Government whose
whole course has been marked by In
Justice and lrreligl0n; and the Govern
ment Of Austria, having by It's recent
oct made itself abettor Of the guilt and
partner IL the shame, has thereby made
itself incapable Of humilIatng you.
While ! have regretted the attacks
made upon YOU by part Of the daily
press, still that need not concern us
much. as nothing better was to be ex-
pected from such partisan and inter
e,ted sources. But ] have especially
dcplored tie criticisms passed upon you
bv some Catholic scribblers. who. IL
their zeal 10 appear clever and ultrs-oI-
thodox, have overlooked the fact that the
cause for which you were suffering va,
the refutation as well a. the condemna-
tion and shame Of their stricture,.
But II IS a comfort 70 know that the
utterances Of these wholly unauthorized
critics have absolutely no weight De
yond the infnitesimal weight Of the H.
dividuGls themselves. ] am confident
that all Catholics whose opinion you
would esteem honor you for the perse-
cution you have suffered for truth and
Justices sake.
Your position Is indeed an embar-
RAISING one, with a family to provide
for and your business transferred 10
the hands Of others. But surely II
cannot be that our Government. whose
wen-meant action has placed you IL
this embarrassment, will leave you IN
it. o. fail 10 provide that you be IL No
wsy the loser by II. And even should
that happen, which ] cannot believe,
still ] all confident that your well
known splendid qualities Of head an
heart viii yet secure 10 you career Of
both honor and profit.
Please present my kindest regards 70
Mrs. Kelley and your children. ana be
lieve me, my dear Mr.. Kelley, ever
sincerely your friend,
JOHN j. kEANE,
Bishop Of Richmond.
