THE PopES REsCRIpT.

The rescript Of Pope Leo touching the
Irish "plan Of campaign and boycotting'
is not likely TO pass without some conten-
ton. In this TIC Papal authorities are
themselves setting an example. The Mont
tetr de Rome, the organ Of His Holiness, as
serts, as The New York Herdids special
tells us:
That "a Mr.. Parnell Is Protestant he II not
thoroughly qualified to be II spokesman for the
Catholic people OF Ireland, and adds that he n ig
nornnt Of the real sentiment Of the Irish people M
Is proved by the numberlcs adhcsons TO the Vail
can circulars which are coming from the clergy
and laty alike from all parts OF Ireland
The Aonttou concludes by expressing the hope
that the act Of the Pope will soon be acknowledged
ms made In the true Interests OF Ireland.
The 0sscrratre Romano confirms the statement
that numberless ADMISSIONS have been received, and
states that Mr.. Parnell, by denying all connection
between the League and the plan OF campaign "
implicitly condemns the latter.
II is believed that the Pope win not Insist upon
any collective adhesion Of the Irish Eplscopatc, at
least for the present, unless any symptoms Of re-
sistance are shown. In which case very vigorous
In addition TO this, there comes from
Montreal special, also TO The Herald,
stating that The Erming Post OF that city,
hitherto recognized as the mouthpiece OF
Irish Catholicism, had been denounced
in all the Catholic churches last Sunday,
by order Of Archbishop Fabcr, because,
in publishing the resoript, II had declared
that, while Irishmen were always ready 10
accept their religion from Rome, they
would not brook dictation in political af-
fairs. Father Dowd, pastor Of st. Pat
rick's Church, who has always been
considered as an ultra-Irish Ma
tionalist, after reading the Archbishop's
letter, was very severe in his condem-
nation Of The Posfs position, and said he
was much panied by the lecherous and
evil tone" Of that paper. In going 80 far
Father Dowd no doubt felt fully warranted,
not only by the position OF Archbishop
Faber, but by the general sentiment OF his
parishioners who with Other Catholics
freely express the opinion that II The Pod
continues In lis course OF defiance 10 the
Church, It's proprietor, editor and all con-
neciod with II will DO accommodated.
On the other hand, Mr.. Michael Dayi,t,
In speech delivered al Liverpool on the
18th, very boldly and fatty declared that
