4 CRUSADE AGAINST HERESY.

"The Catholic Champion" OF this city, Is the
recognized organ OF the advanced Catholic party
In the Protestant Episcopal Church, and much
interest therefore attaches TO its view OF the or
dination OF DR. Briggs quoted in The Tribune
yesterday. First Of all, 1t is clear that the Cath
Ollie party in the Church intends to keep up the
fight on the issues raised by this ordination
Only instead OF opposing DIR. Briggs, II will fight
the constituted authorities of the Church as rep
resented by Bishop Potter and the Standing
Committee OF the Diocese OF New-York Not
only the distinguished professor, but the Bishop.
the Standing Committee and the clergymen who
recommended him deserve the condemnation Of
all true Catholics. The Church Is, indeed, In
danger, and It Is the sacred duty OF all It's loyal
children 10 rally TO Its defence. In fact, they
have done so already. according 10 THE Cham
pion" They began praying against DIR. Briggs
as long as six years ago. 1t is true. their prayer
does not seem TO have been answered, for the
sacrilege involved In the admission OF DR.. Briggs
has been committed. But " they will only

TIRE SPANISH MINISTER.

The restoration of diplomatic relations De'
tween the United States and Spain was happily
ACCOMPLISHED Yesterday by the Spanish Minis
tors nreseptaton of his credentials at the Exec
utive Mansion and their acceptance by the Tres
ident The ceremony was brief and simple, but
impressive by reason of its significance ana
esnec,allv felicItous in the words used and the
expectations suggested. The appointment OF
the Duke of ARGOS was token or sincere eoou-
will on the part of the Spanish Government ana
Of an earnest wish to cultivate such official ana
nersonal relations as are best calculated to OBJ
lnerate recent antagonisms and cement NJ" ueS
of rcsnect and friendship between the two coun-
tries The new Minister Is held In the hlghes'
regard at home. and that fact. even If he had
been unknown here, would have insured MN Il
cordial welcome. But he does not come as
stranger. In the course Of his former residence
in the United States he commended hilnseli 10
the esteem Of all with whom he came IN con-
tact. and his wife is an American. as he has al
reodv reminded us in a graceful ausion to that
beInfnl circumstance 1t Is also an agreeable re-
Election that the Secretary of state, with WHOM
he will have important business to transact
nosscsses an intimate acquaintance with Span
ish habits of life and thought and sympathetic
understanding of the Spanish character.
In presenting his credentials the Duke de Ar-
COS might have refrained from mentioning the
war without exciting comment. but his FRANK
reference to the event which interrupted the
friendly intercourse of the two nations gives Pc
culiar force 10 the words in which he mas as
sured the President and people of the tnited
States that il IS his official mission and personal
desire 10 re-establish and strengthen the ancient
relations We do not hesitate TO assure MIN Ill
return That his sentiments are heartily reclprO-
coted We do not think that the American people
are prone 10 cherish resentments, and certainly
I'm this instance no malevolent spirit has sur
viyed The cessation Of hostllities. Indeed
throughout the war disposition to recognize
the gallantry of an unfortunate foe was every
where manifested. and it is entirely safe 10 say

| conflict of arms We trust that similar erect
has been produced upon the Spanish mind ana
we arc happy to find in the Spanish Minister 5
address 10 the President indications that such ~
the fact. The causes of irritation and estrange-

! son why the two nations should remain friends
and Joint contributors to the welfare Of the race
