We have as yet no programme. Firsi, we must get an organization; then take further measures by means ot synoas. Fundamentally all our reformatory movements are induced by the Pope's cluims of “omnipotence.” As lovg as “omnipo- tence” Is claimed by him it 1s impossible to tatro- duce any reforms. “Many of the bishops are ours at Peart.

The tollowing Is verbatim:— AN ERRONEOUS IMPAESSION—THE TRUE STATE OF THE CASR. “Te 1s an erroneous iden that we wish to found a new sect inthe Roman Catholic Church, It 1s not the iniealivn of those woo are engaged in this | movement to bring about a separation. ‘Their mten- tion issimply to remain where they were: to claim all their rights as wembers of the Church in wien | tiey are born and educated. ‘The real | state of things is tiis:—‘The bishops | | By. ali they can to drive the opponents | \of the Vatican decrees to @ separation, by ecclesiastical censures, by excommunications or | suspensions, Of course It would ve more advan- | lageous tw the cause of ultramontanism if the whole movement could be reduced 10 the narrow | | | limits of a mere new sect or denomination. That ts theic simple ulaton. The opponents—priesis aud laymeiu—ar® determined to remain where they are and only to do what 18 allowed according to Charch princtpies; put in cases of neces<tiy—as, for | instance, the administration of sacraments as well as im the celebration of funerais—as in the case of Proiessor Zenger, it 1S & necessity for them to help themseives »y performing the oflces which are refused by the parish priests; but in no way 1s there a tendency to separation. Tuts is the first mistake which we wish to have removed, And now you may ask me anything you like about the movement in Germany.” “May [ ask your opinion, then, Herr Professor, about the CONDUCT OF THE BAVARIAN GOVERNMENT ?”? “Certainly. It 1s simply wavering. They hest- tate. There is atthe same time a crisiain the Min- istry, and one of the Ministers 18 au ultramontane and Opposes himseif to evcry measare which tne other Ministers propose to take, ‘This is Count Bray (who subsequently resigned). He does what hecan to ninder the movement. The Minister of Cultus (Von Lutz) showed in bis four arucies in the Augsturger Ala men: Zeitung Uiat there was con- siderable difficulty for the action of the government, because there are no effective laws, There 1s, per- haps, in this respect a law concerning what 1s plucet—the permision .of the gov- ernment to publish ecclesiastical decrees which refer to civil questions, to tne relations | of State and Charch—but there is no penal sanction, consequently the bishops who have published the decrees, and act according to those decrees. with- out having got the plaget of,the government, cannot be punished for that transgression of the law. One of the bishops as even asked for the plavet; bat upon tis being refuse ne (iue Archbishop of Bamberg) nevertheless published the uecree. So he set the gov- ernment at open denance, In the eyes of the State all the excommunicutions are tlegal, because they are all based upon the publication of decrees which have been published contrary to the laws of the state.” POSITION OF THE DOLLINGER SUPPORTERS. “1a what position do the 20,000 persons stand, Dr. Déilupger, Who have publicly deciared their connec. tion with you?” “They are notexcommanicated regutarly by a defl- nite proclamation, but the preachers have declared from the puipits that everybody is excommunicated who slyns the declaration, This has been said everywhere in the puipits. Whenever it comes to the question whether a man is to receive the sacra- ments or not, or lo marry, they generally ask him for retraction, and upon his refusal they refuse the sacrameut or rites. The case of Professor Zenger called forth great sympathy here, because the man was a distinguished scholar and of high reputation.” DOLL Y9 INTENTIONS. “And may J ask what movements we may shoruy expect—in short, what are your intentions ?"” “Everybody who finds himself in such a dim- culty,’ replied Professor Dollinger, “expects that 1n some way or other the solution will be foand, In have already said in our declaration of the 25th of June, written by me. We expect that It ts to be the beginning of a great reformatory movement. The conviction of all of us who take bart in the movee ment 18 this:—The system of spiritual despotism has gone to its utmost limits; it cap nov be carried fur- ther than tt has been carried by the decrees of the Vatican Couaci. The Pope is now declared absolute master, commander, lord and governor of every individual born tn the Catholic Church. This 13 done not alone by the dogma of intalubility It 1s very dificult to make tt understood to people who are not well acquainted with these matters U.at in- falib.)ity is only one part of tne sysiem.

ON THE CATSRILLS. Above the Clouds at Overlook—Tinkling Waterfalls—Sbady Nooks—Falls, Flirting and Fan—The Mountains in Twilight— “Woodland Fiies and Rural Mosquitoes.”? OVERLOOK MounTAIN, August 8, 1871. Everybody is saying ‘How hot it must be In New York to-day !? The mereury here 18 at eighty, and slowly creeping up, but the breeze ts delictously bracing, and the mountains are more beautitul than ever, and all the morning we have strayed and stroiled and lounged about our beloved piazza 1a Once we aroused @ little as the stage drove up tothe back door to carry two of our mountaineers to the city. The departure of the stage Is an event here, a3 well a3 its arrival. Old and young go out en masse to enjoy to the full extent the little stir and bastle Consequent upon theygreetings or good- bys. How we pitied the two genial gentlemen Who went off this morning, a8 with longing looks they settled themselves for thelr descent to earth; | and we naturally contrasted the dust and nolse and heat of the city with our freshness and stillness, and sighed to think that the same stage would soon take us on the same solemn journey. Saddened by te thought, I betook myseli to the woods for consola- tion, and here [ am, in the shadow of a huge, mossy rock, with a mouaotain spring tinkling, tinkling, dripping, dripping, into a little stony basin below. If I should tell you half of the charms of tais lerny grotto you would grow wild with envy and discontent. I wil content myself with saying that 1t is cool, so cool and still—so very, very stili—only the drip of the sparkling water and the hum of AN INNOCENT WOODLAND FLY breaking the absolute silence. The sunshine rails through the fresh maples and ragged firs, lighting upthe ferns and tafted grasses in the deep hol- lows.and wavering on the wet rocks where the water splashes mnsically. I um alone, and yet not alone, If not, why not? Simply because there are mosquitoes here. But they area gentlo, rural sort, not nearly 80 ravenous as your metropolitan variety, and I didn’t at all mind giving thein a little blood, inasmuch as | find that my face gets unbecomingly flushed whenever I climb, I know of no sound so exquisitely soothing as the soft tinkling flow of water over mossy stones in the depths of the woods. 1 say soothing, and yet it is not a drowsy sound; it rather stimuiates and at tho same time harmonizes. I can understand the de- light of the hunters and trappers and bronzed old pioneers who spend montns in the woods alone. The rocks and trees are senticnt for them; tne waterfalls have a voice of meaning; they breathe freely, which one never does in the presence of other human beings, It is good to have all the oxy- gen to one’s self and to have PLENTY OF ELBOW ROOM. Ishali never be quite satisfied tll I spend a night in the woods, and I nave serious thougnts of getting myself lost. y Since I wrote you last we have had a masquerade ball and religions service, ‘1'ne masquerade was an impromptu affair, eacn lady being Ler own costumer, andthe result was very creditaole to the artiste sense of the persous concerned, ‘There were wulle nuns and diack nuns, PLUMP LITTLE BODIES in all sorts of natty rigs; Spanish ladies flirting bevind their fans; Night floating about covered with ullver stars; grotesque little Indians, Highiand lasses, French peasants, gipsy fortune tellers, 4c. They pantomiued, tey chatted in disguised voices; they danced, and altogether the evening passed of uerrily, Sappio, the bas vieu, of whoin I spoke in a former letter, triea in vain to penetrave my dis- gaise. Thanks to ny mask, 1 was secure from ner for the entire evening; but J heard her talking to a Sir Walter Kaleigh sort of individual about the detiguts of literature, and saying with pathos all her own, “Poetry has been to nie ils own exceeding great reward.” Theu she lauuched into an essay Ou the Elizabethan poets, from wuicn her tortured prisoner only escaped by a& sirategy as cunning as it was ungallant. sappio was dressed as Marie Stuart, and Lonly regretted tat the heads- man was not present, 80 that the characterization might be carr ed tu the (arthest extremity, The religious service Was on sunday afternoon, and as i Was not there tam anable to tell you much about it.

Unfortunately for the accommodation and enjoyment of visttors, the hotels are all very small, and as they were originally bulit as country taverns they are either clustered together at cross roads or are located on the main road, without a foot of pleasure ground or lawn attached to them. There are lovely spots on the hanks of the Delawaro where a hotel would be very desirable, and where the guests could sit and lounge in tne evening, revelling in the glorious scenery before and around them.
