RelIgIous strife in ouehec.

OTTAWA, Dec 29.-Leading French Ca
madam Liberals here see in the excom-
munication of l. Electeur, of Quebec, what
must of necessity be a struggle between
the Liberal party and the hierarchy for
civil and religious liberty in that prov
ince. Those who are conversant with the
facts state that the articles in L'Electeur,
for which the paper was excommunicated,
We're written by priests. A new paper,
called lie Soleil, has taken the place of
Il Electeur, and is quite as radical La
Patrie, of Montreal, comes out In def
ance of the Catholic church, in which 1t
calls upon all Liberal Catholics to revolt,
1t calls the accommodation the begin
ming of war to the death.
