A Campaign iy In course of preparation against the Present Coinet. ‘The big guns are ready to open fire and hosttiities will soon commence. Several Journals, especially the Peuvle Frangats and the France, have tudicated clearly that a storm 1s brew- ing. A direct attack against the government was premedicated when the demand tor permission to prosecute M. Rochefort was made, The impossi- bility of success by direct atvack was demonstrated on that occasion and now the Cabinet is to be undermined. Every assurance will be given that it 1s not the intention of the opposition to cre- ate diMiculues for the present Ministry. M. Dupuy do Lome wiil ‘‘bell the cat’? by making an Interpella- ion in reterenf to the decrees of the 9th of January concerning acquits & caution and admissions tem- poraires. A small committee of the centre droit will declare that as the question ts purely one of economy each member of that party may vote ac- cording to personal desire. Thus the discipline and unity of the right centre, the principal support of the Cabinet, will be damaged. An ordre du jour will then be formed, censuring the decrees: he 9th of January, Which in reallry were iliegal, as no can be modified except by another law. La France desiguates M. Duvernois a3 having drawn up the ordre du jour and a8 being engaged tn obtaining sig- natures and promises of support. The Peuple Fran- gais points to M. Louvet as the Minister Who must be sacriiced by the Cabinet. Should M. Louvet retire it 1s probable that M. Buffet may toliow m consequence of his parttci- pation in tue decrees, This is not all. Ib must be borne tn mind that M, baru only accepted oilice ou thecondinon that M. Burfet shoud be tp the Cabi- nel, and therefore it 1s anticlpated that tne former will nob retain his portfolio for twenty-four hours alter tie retirement of the Lath: The Ministry will tuus lose streagth in the Chambers and before the public. Should these tactics succeed, the real vic- tors Will be those Who at the time of voting bring «he greatest iorce. The “cighi’? will thus be all- powerful, and then a Forcade Ministry will take tho reins of government, At any rate, whether as a leader or as simple member of the Cabmet, the advent of M, de Forcade la Roquette is not distant. Two questions of ee importance have been asked in the Corps isiatif, M, Esquiros, sup- ported by N. Gambetta, made an interpellauon witi respect to the presence of 4,000 soldiers at Crenzot. ‘Tue “left” consider that the troops are a restraint on the iiberty of the workmen and a contravention of the law of 1864, which recognizes the right of coalition. The goverument, by having sent troops to Creuzot has assured liberty to ail well disposed workmen. But forthe action of the authorities it 4s certain that those wo have now returned to work would bave been intimidated from doing so by the men ou sirike; other gtrikes had been ordered by the Ventral Cominittce at Berne, ‘fhe manifesta- tions and publio meetings have not been interfered with vy the government and no blood has been shed. The second question was i reier- ence to an act which authorizes the opening ola Credit of 17,000,000f, required by the town of Paris for argent payments, M. Petry took advan- tage O1 the occasion to puplish the second volume of is “Comptes Mantastiques d’iaussmann.’? He declared that the ars > dept of the town o/ Paris, whica to the month of February Jast amounted to 59,000,000. had been increased by 21,000,000f.; that the budget exiraordinary for the Ville de aris should be 70,000,0u0f.; that the most mdispensavie @xpenses BuiouUt to 75,000,001; that 4,000,000f, must be added for the enirepots at Bercy, making in all 79,000,000. To meet this there is a sum of 41,000,0001, M. Perry bas po faith in the Municipal Commission of Paris, ‘That assembly, he exclaimed, ‘meets stl =f say it is a scandal: everytuing that has oc- curred during the past month is a comedy; thoy im- agine that mutters have changed because Wey have changed one man.” The Minister ot the Interior in reply Unauked the Municipal Councll tor the patri- ougm and devotion of its members who hold func- Uons at all times ungrateful and dificult, The examination of the different witnesses by the Juge d’instruction in the Victor Noir afair,is not yeu terminated. The trial will, however, take place Ou the day i named in my last. M.de Fouvielie denies having said that Victor Noir struck Priuce Pierre before he was shot. ‘The London police paper contained last week a wood cut of Traupmann on the scafowd, When ex- posed for Sale at the Kiosques Ic attracted large crowds, Every copy of the paper was eageriy bought up.

Money had been sent to tuem for the purpose of procuring substitutes, as Was proyed by Jetters received frow the men in question, but they were still uetained in the ranks. General Le Baccr replted that nothing could be more exact than that a retusat bad been givenin the cuse alluded to. ‘the military reculations bad been applied, as they would be on. ail siamiar occasions.

Roux, Feb. 5, 1870, There was a good deal of taiking among the Ger- man bishops @ few evenings past, among a few of them particularly, that set the quidnuncs on the ui vive. It appears, so my litle bird snforms me, that when the German bishops arrived one of the most influential was waited on by Monsigneur N » one of the keenest Italians in the Vatican, who offered hia drawing room to the bishops for their meetings, in order to discuss matters previous to going to the Vatican. The offer was gratefully accepted, but mein Aerren found ous that the com- plaisant monsignor had sowe three or four holes bored in the wall for the purpose o! hearing what they sald. The discovery astonished them. Some induiged tn “donner,” others tn ‘*vlitzen;?? all were indiguant, but put on as pleasant a counte- nance a# possible to thank him and take leave of him. There has been @ good deal of fun over this matter; the German hierarchy don’t care muct about it, but they think that Moosigneur N—— is anything but a gentleman. Pasquin bas had a good hit on Antonelll. He 1s represented with a crown on bis head and sceptre in hand, saying to some parties who carried sacks of money, “Quod 4st Ccsaris Oesari;" to some bishops and priests, whose arms were filled with rosaries and devotional things, he says, pointing to Pius 1X., who is standing on a cloud, “Quod est Det Deo,” The crafty Secretary of State 1s looking out for his relatives, and seems to take great pleasure m advancing their fortune. He is building a fine house for them near Trajan’s column. They havefau excellent one already on the Quirinal. But the last speculation made in Rome or in the Pontifical States in some years was made by a relative of the Cardinal afew weeks ago. He bought ail the trees on each aide of the road from Velletri to Terracina for fifteen cents each, and sold them @ week afterwards, as he bought tuem, for five lire each, Making something like $25,000 by the transaction. This was a pure matter of business, just as if a citizen of Chicago bought 10,000 bushels of wheat at seventy-fve cents ond sold it for ninety, or a speculator of Porkopolis 200 hogs at ten dollars and sgoid them for fourteen dollars. There are people here who shake their heads and don’t like it because they have not made $35,000 themselys It seems, after all, that the thirst for gold cau rage a8 fercely in tue bosom of a cardiual or a cardima’s nepuew a3 in that of any other man. Cardinal Antoneili has a great regard for the Jesuits, bur he don’t like them to come too near him, He adinires them at a distance and takea pleasure in domg so. You know tnat all the cardinals have a the- ologian to hunt up the sayings of the fathers; that is an oifice of great labor and no profit, Tne Roman Secretary of State, altuough adiniring them very much, would not have @ Jesuit; he prelerred a Do- minican. and he has one of the latter poring over old tomes tu enabie him (Antonelli) to kaow the why and wherelore of jure divino ct jure huimano, A few years ago Bishop Dupanloup aelivered a speech la the Sapienza in this city and warmly ad- vocated the personal infallipility of the Pope. te has been twitled lately with his former speech, and has answered ail, Jempora mutaniu, et nos mutamur in ills, The other day he gave the usuai answer Co one of those bishops Who imagine tuey are inspired by the holy spirit, but the friend Of infaliibility persisted in bis argument and became rather tresome. Bishop Vupanioup 13 one of the most amiable men of France, but the beat of us are Nabie to lose our equilibrium when bored. ‘I'he oon- Versatiun grew warm, and the biood of Felix was up a litue, when he replied, * Monseigneur, wise men change their opinions; fools never do.’ ‘the frieud ofiniallbility fatied to answer this pointed remark, put on as kind a smile as possible and picked up his broad-primmed hat and left. ‘ One of those sudden and painful accidents which plunge the brightest and happiest bomes into the inidst of indescribable and poignant grief occurred on the ivth inst, @ ort distance beyond Porta Salara, at a place called Filomarino, — Mr. Hartman Kaho, & native, and when at home a@ resident, of Philadelpiia, died the moruing from a fall from his horse on the above date while practising fence jumping.

Rom, Feb, 4, 1870. A rumor has been current that the petition of the bishops favorabie to the Infallivility dogma, 410 in number, had been presented to the Pope; but 1 did not credit it at the time, and I have since ascer- tained its incorrectness. From what I learn from trustworthy sources, not more than 380 signatures have been obtained to the pro-Infallibility postuta- tum. Against it 162 bishops have signed tneir names, in the proportion of forty-six French, thirty-five Germans and Austrians, fourteen Hungarians, twen- ty-nine Americans, nineteen Orientals, fifteen ftal- lans, three English and two Portuguese. Calculating the non-signataries at about 200 we can divide the Council into two nearly equal parts, the larger of which comprises the most ardent partisans of the personal Infallibility doctrine, and the smaller those who are as ardentiy opposed to it and those who are too indifferent about it or too fearful of offend- ing the sovereign Pontiff, to put their hands to any document, elther for or against the proposed dogma. 1 know of bisnops, supposed to belong to the enlignt- ened portion of the episcopacy, who have plainly ex- pressed their intention of supporting the proposition If 1t shouldsever be oilicially presented to the consid- eration of the Council, “not that we consider the defl- nition of the dogma of the Pope's personal tafaiit- bility at all opportune, but tuat we cunuot bear to grieve the veuerabie oid maa who has set his heart upon it, Fyne schemata, or propositions elaborated by the preparatory commiasions for the copsideration of ine Council in ‘the category of discipline, are far more numerons than those already discassed in the cat- egory of faith, ‘Lhe former are forty-one and tae lat- ter eighteen. These e/glteen propositions having been rejected by the general congregations are pow being remodelied by the Deputation of Faith, which 1s a sort of committee of twenty-four Fathers elected by the Counci! for this special duty. They wiil soon be presented in a new form to the general congre- gation, and if rejected a second time the government party and the Pope mragself must be considered as having encountered ® most undentabie “asco.

The Papal Schemata vr Propositions to the Councl!—Infallibility and the Annunciation. {Kome (February &) Correspoudence of London Standard, 4 Yon will remember the title I sent you nearly a week ago of the new Schemata distributed to the fathers and what I have since added to the tnforma- tion I then gave. Perhaps you would like to sce what i$ at last aaid on this matter in official quar- ters. ‘The second Schema reiating to matters of faith treats of the constitution of the Church as the first treated of God.” (By tals last purase a reference ig Intended to rationalism, science, &c., which are posed to be opposed and derogatory to God.) This second Schema nas already peen distributed to the Fathers of the Council, aud it is most pro- bable that as soon as the discussion of 1¢ is com- menced the grand point of the tnfalilbility of the FYope will be established.” This, you will percetve, completely tallies with my statement that under tne Schema which coancerns the constitution and rights of the Church, those of the Pope—De Romano Ponti- Jice—will be brought forward for discussion. Here is the document. As it ig in my hands to-day for only an hour, and the translation has to be made Trom ecclesiastical Latin during that time, 1 must ask you to be duigent to any inelegancies of style:— SCHEMA PRO INFALLIBILITATR ROMANI PONTIFICIS, To ve logically and clearly defined from principles already received by the Universal Church. In the chapter concerning the Roman Pontiff, we propose that, after the condemnation. of certain errors against his primacy, these or similar words might be added:—We utterly reprobate the temerity of those who have the audacity to appeal from the decisions of tho Sovereign Pontiff to an Koumentcal Council, Furthermore, we condemn the perverse cavils of those who havo the audacity to say that only au external deference and not an internal assent of the mind and heart isdue to the decisions of the Roman rontift. Moreover, We utterly reprobate the way of spcak- ing and teuching common among those who, rasuly supposing @ preposterous division of opmion be- tween the body of tne episcopacy and the Supreme Pont, dispute as to which of them hath tue greater guthorily, and thus endeavor to sever Peter from the Church a8 @ head from 1s body; aw if the body of the Fathers, whorn Peter ia ordered in his successors to confirm tn the faith, could ever be cut off from him whose faith Clirist promised shouid never fat), or agif it couid be lawtul for whose who aro to be Taught and coniirmea by Peter to teach and confirm anything against this decision. Nor do we regard ag less reprehensible the opin- lous and conduct of those who, in order that they may more ireely spread thoge errors abroad which ave been condemued by the Roinan Ponttt, are not #Shamed to deciare hat the true sense of the booxs from which have deen taken the errors he condemns bas not becu rightly understood. Reasons wiy tie above scheme te thougitt expe- dent:— Fira It would find by thelr alinost unaulmous vote, ti be safely hoped that a iverael favor with the Fat aud be confirmed contains positive and ne, which are already ‘and which are ac- heme of this kind few excepted, whoxe number f¥ 60 amali that 11 need not be taken into account.

A unani- Tuous definition on the part of the Fathers would utterly close ‘the mouths of our eneu now exulting ever us, and would be a source of vast ediiication to the Church of God. have, indeed, far too mavy external enemies for us to think of exclifng fresh discord in the cainp of the Church itseif, and for us to seem in apy way to foment ft. Fourth—-Lhe proposed mode of impiled definition, though ‘an indirect one, would seem to be remarkable for strength as well as for simplicity; for it is Gearer and perhaps more comprehensive tan any formal and explicit deinftion would be; lor the latter would afford theologians many opportunt- ties for caviliing; it would be perpetually :disputed among them wheu and inder what circitmatances the Roman Poo- We 1M should be considered to have addressed the Christian worid and to Lave pronounced an infalibledecision. All those questions would still remaia undecided, even amoung the most plowe advocates of Papal infalibility, which bave hitherto been agitated, concerning the private and the public character ot the Ponitf, when he spoake, concerning the true migultcation of speakitig ex cathedra and concerning wast things appertain to faith aad morals. Indeed, questions of this Kiud would perhaps, be agitated more violently than ever, nd minds ve the victitos of still greater contention. a ‘Fi/ti—In this proposed scheme no express distinction is made or is necesaary, for ft joins the inerrancy of the Roman Pontit with the infallibillty of the Church itsoif, and expibits a primacy, #0 ine iim ‘that it the infallibuity of the Cbure macy What are the priacipies of the primordial faith of thy Chur ure already sulficiently ascertained and determined. Whereas a formal detinition on this head would have a retrospective Action over all past centuries, would open up the cutire tield Of ecclesiastical history and the whole succession of bulls to the cavils of theologians and to the recriminations of impiou heretics against the Roman Vonti(f, at present almost al layed. i finition no cause will be given elther to thocloglans Gr to datfaltutul to doubt ‘or cavil respecting the commands and decrees of the Holy Ponti, by whose most Grins counsel, while he feeds tho lamos as well as the sheep, Bil matiers ‘wre lovingly, reverently and tially left to be deciged. : I must reserve tli to-morrow any comments on this documeni. If it Js to be spoken oO: as & compro- mise it is such as I cannot coaceive Dr. Manuing, for instance, and such as he, accepiunug. It meriis, however, & aise Of great dexterity. and Dr. Dollinger on Papal Infaiiibitity. Dr, Dollinger has written an ‘open lever’ in an- swor tothe Bishops’ petition jfor the deciaration of papalipfallivility, The following 1s au abstract of Dr. Dollinger’s mantfesto:— ‘The Bishops, he says, are signing an address tn which the Pope ta besoughs. on the part of bie coun- cu. to declare uimself infallible, fhat Ww to eur. ney “one hundred and oighy millions of human beim ¥ are henceforth to be forced, by pain of excommus ' Cation, refusal of the sacraments and everiastiug damnation, to believe and to profess that which the Churoh hitherto bas not believed, not taught.” For it cannot be said that even those who have hitherto held the papal infallibility to be @ face bave believed iu tt. A Catholic can only believe that which he is told and taught by the Church as @ divinely revealed wing, as @ thing ap- porgining. to the substance of the doctrine of saiva- ion, a8 a thing beyond ail aud every doubt, and the refusal to accept which implies disobedience to be punished by exciusion from thecommunity. But in Teality there is not a single huinan creature who ever believed in it in this way, even as one would be- lieve in God or the Trinity. The proclamation of thts dogma, therefore, which, at the very best, has peen agreed co by sume, Jide humana, asa Ung of proba- bility, would mean nothing less than @n alteration in the faich and doctrine of the Chuich, such as has never been heard of ever since Christianity was frat founded, The whvle foundation of tue Church, in fact, would thereby be alfected. Ine stead of. as hitherto has becu the case, & Catholic being ablo w say, I believe o certain thing, because tue Church of ail times bears witness to it—that Church unto which belongs the promise thas tt shail ever remain in the possession if sruta—be will Denceforta have to put, instead of Church, which compasses lume and all single individual—the Pope to wit. He will nave to say, | believe this or that, because the infal linle Pope teaches tt. And why 18 he infallible? Because he says so himself. That several hundred bishops—whatever their number—have decreed in Rome, in 1870, that the Pepe is inialiible matters very little, inagymuch ag all visiops and every Council are subject to error without the help of the Pope. Their teatimony has only a8 much value as he who 18 alone exempt irom error pleases to place upon it; and only inasmuch ad he approves this, their resojution, 13 Chore any validuy m it, And thus moving ina vicious circle, the whole matter resolves itself into the Pope’s own testumony of himself, ‘frue, some 1,840 years ago some one higher has sa “If 1 testify to myseli my testimony 13 not to be belleved.”’ Dr. Dollinger next enters into four special con- siderations to whica the address gives rise. ‘The first ig that ¢ luwits the Pope's iniallibility to those of nis decrees gud emanations waich aro addressed tothe entire boay of the faltnfui—tne whole Cathoitc Church in fact; from which it would follow taut the ope, whenever he addressed single persons, corporations, or par- ticular churches, has always been subject al to error, Considering that for twelve or thirteen centuries the Popes have always addressed their teachings ou some point or otuer to particular per- sons or bisuops of certain countries, and thereiore did not full the one condition which alone could bave made thein infallible, 1013 to be leareu that all these emanations, up to the last 600 years or so, were erroncous, and would have to be abrogated. Nor did the Popes themselves kuow of their infalii- bility all that time, It was io 1662 that Johann Hessel, the Louvain theologian, first broached the theory. From him Bellarmine took it, supporting it with the testimony of the Isidorian decretals, which are forged, and those of St. Cyril, which are auction. Indeed it would only have cost the Popes we addition of a few words to that effect at the top of their addresses ut they had believed in their fo- failivulity. Sutin truth they never dreamed of it. decoudiy, the framers of the petition say that which is not in asserting that, according to the general and constant tradition of the Churca the judgments of the Pope are unalterable. ‘foe contrary of this is patent to alleyes. The Church tus always first ex- amined the dogmatic utterances of the Popes, and then either agreed to them or rejected them, a3 Was done by the fifi Council ig 663 and by tne sixth ip 631, Nor is it, thirdly, correct, when the bishops talk of the second Council of Lyons (1274) haying ac- cepted, with the assent of both Greeks aud Latins, the doctrine that disputes in the matter of faith must be decided by the judgment of the Pope. Neither Greeks nor Latins Bald Chis; but the vope Clement 1V., Who sent tals formuia to the Emperor Michael Palwologue as a condition of his being admitted into the communion of the Charen. he unfortunate Michael, sorety pressed by his Latin foes, nad no alternative but to accept for himseif a formula which alone could en- sure him the peace he so much needed; but in his own palace he repudiated the notion of it, his clergy irom the ouiset peor against it, and the nation simply rejected it en bloc. As for the olshops: assembled at the Council they never even had an op- portunity of giving an opinion on the subject of chis jormula. ‘the next argument of Dr. Dollinger is still more trenchant. it simply Charges the fathers of the ad- dress with forgery, or, What is much the same thing, mutilation of their quotations. ‘t'ne decree of tie Florentine Council, adducea by them in proof of teir assertion, nas been clipped. A certain pas- sage, which reads “according to the manner in which it 1s convained botu in the acts and the holy canons of the Ecumenical Councils,” has been sup- pressed. And It Was this very sentence upon which everything hinged. The Pope and the Caruiuals had demanded that the words, “according to the sayings of the saints,’ suould dé put in the definition of the Pope's primacy. But the Greeks knew tull well what things there might read out of or forged into, tne ‘saints’ thus vVaguely made authoritative on that point, and rejected it point blank—nay, declared that they wouia leave the Synod without having done a singie thing if tuat sentence, which pointed to the testimony of the seven Ecumenical Councils preceding the forged Isidorlan aecretals, were leit out. And not long before that Bishop Bessarion had declared, in the name of all une Greeks, that the Pope was lessjtnan the Council, and, therefore, fallibie. But utére is another little matter connected with that Florentine decree—viz., @ falsification of a certain e¢ into etiam, whereby the whole meaning ot it becomes illusory. No doubt that ancient forgery, first occurring in Abraham Bartholomius, bas been at the bottom of this mutllation onthe part of the Infallibilists—a falsification wulch has actually Lesn received by authority in scaool books aad religious compen- dium, thougn tt was very energetically provested ainst 200 years ago by the Arcubishop of Paris, D. orca, himself. Next, Dr. Dollinger enters upon the virulent lan- guage used by the concocters of the address agalust those Who do not hold the Fioreutine Council to have been an ecumenical one—“B aerare non eru- vescunt’ is thelr phrase; the facts being that this Counc was called together to counteract that of Basle, where certain reforms of the Cnurca had been proposed which the Uuria did not particularly care fer, and no one came to attend it except avout ity Itallans—nine-tents of the then Cathouc worid, Ger- many, Scandinavia, Poland, Boheuua, France, Bas- tule, Portugal, &c., hoidiug enuirely aloof from the meeting. For six months they Lad to wait betore even those Italians could be brought togetuer. The Greeks who attended it came under abject pressure. They and their Emperor were on the verge ol ruin. Tue Pope had promised them money, ships, soldiers, besides paying their expenses boti at ferrara an Florence, aud the fact was that he just fed them according to their greater or less pliability. It was absolute starvation taat caused them to sign certain articles which they repudiated the moment they arrived in thelr native country and had food of their own again. Nor were the contemporarics blind to that fact. And long betore the French R evolution tuis Synod was rejected as spurious by France, und Cardinal Guise when ne said this openty at Trent did not meet with so Much a8 One BiDgie word of con- tradicuon, As to the rest of the Address Dr. Dilinger dea's summarily with tt, He forcibly exposes tue {eevie- ness shown by ils assertion that m the abstract 1t would not have been absolutely necessary to pro- claim tis new dogiia, but that “naving got mio a fix’? the bishops now are forced to do so. ‘The Jesuits have for a certain number of years past strained every nerve to get this dogma passed. They founded a speciat society for it; they have kept ap an incessant agitation for if im all Kurope; they have absoiuiely poled out this dogma both in the Civiéli/a ‘and the many other organs at theirdisposai as tne one thing for waolen the Council was called vogether. It would, of course, sa)3 Dr. Dollinger, in concluding his furcivie pro- test, have been the duty of ail those who maintain adifferent opiilou to hoid their peace In awe and trembitng, and ict tne Jesuits have their owa Way. Unfortunately, this has not come to pgss, Some men have aciually dared to look into the argaments brought forward, and have impudently exposed their fallacy and the mischief that lurks in them. Nothing, thereiore, remains to tue Church, as 1 Rome represented, but to wipe out tuis horrible mis- deed by a new dogma, according to which ali cale- chisms and all religious books nitherto used as guides to the faitnfui will have to be amended and altered. If the petition tg an echo of the pastoral and fare- wellserinon of our own Dr, Mauning, this most daring, Jearned and eloquent counterbiast reminds ug forcibly of the language and lore of * Janus.” The Catheiic world 1a to be congratulated that w champion like Dollinger has opeaiy thrown down the gauntlet.
