MGR sArobLI TO BISHOP WIG GER.
The Pnpai Delegates Letter on the Hobo

The Rev. Father Corrigan OF Hoboken gave
to the reporters last night tho following trans
lation OF n letter which he said had been
scnt by Mgr. Satolli to Bishop WigCer on
Aug. 81. after Bishop WiGEer had denied him
permission to lease his parochial school to
the city.
ION tho 31st Of July last your Very Reverend
Excellency was pleased to write directly to
me about q bill for the parochial schools
OF the State OF New Jersey. In this
document you expressed your adverse Vows,
and labored to corroborats it with many argu-
ments which. however. to tell you plainly
my conviction. seemed to me neither solid
nor efflcacious: for they all proceeded from
that which your Excellency thinks might or
would result from any agreement between the
ecclesiastical and civil authorities.
The guarantee for the good management Of
schools and the success OF the moral and Cath
Ollie instruction OF youth should be and
could be obtained. and under such conditions
