The Immertality of the Soul Discus- sion. To THE Epiror oF THE HERALD:— Ie would be somewhat amusing to follow the dis- putantsin the HERALD on this subject were it not painful to see earnest seekers after truth, founder- tng amid pitfalls and stumbling blocks, merely for the want ofa lucid definition of the word on which their discussion is founded. The disputants in this ase have fallen into the common error of many theologians by taking for granted that soul and spirit, in the Bible use of those terms, means one ‘and the same thing, when the very reverse is evi- dent to any one who will take the trouble to investigate the subject. To begin at the beginning, ‘the first time the word “soul” occurs in the Bible is tm Genesis, ii., 7, which reads thus:—“And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and man became a living soul.” Here is a clear, simple statement of the ongin of this thinking, acting, responsible being called man—an organized being, fm which the fiestily and the spiritual, the carthly and the heavenly are so interwoven as to act and react each on the other—every desire and appetite and passion of the feshly nature being good in itself, but liable to abuse unless kept in check and under eortrol of the spiritual or moral elements of this strangely combined organization. To have said that this man became a living spirit on this blending of the eartuly and the spiritual would have been a con- tradiction in terms; hence the propriety of the term “soul,” as expressing a condition neither earthly Ror spiritual alone, but a combination of tue two. It ie to this organized being man, under the desig- nation of soul, tiat the laws of God are adapted addressed—laws peviectly applicable to his ‘wants, and which would not apply to any other condition of being. “Thou shalt not steal” is a command that neither the aniwal nor the angel re- Rareah because it is not adapted to their separate Saivi jual natures; but its strict observance by the human svul in its social sphere is oi the utmost im- [+ angie to the peace and harmony of that sphere, ese comingnds are therefore addressed to the goal, The soul sometimes obeys aud receives the re- ‘ward; again it disob-ys, and punishment, prompt and sure, is as certain as the stuart attending the thrusting oi the hand into the fire. “Ifa soul sin,” “If u soul touch any unclean thing,” are common expressions of Muss in his minute specitications of ‘the various shades of disovedience to God's laws, which were addressed, under the name of soul, to Man as man—not to the spiiitual part alone, but to the whole man, in whom sometimes the spiritual redominates aud sometimes the animal. Lady ron ix said to have described her husband as “either all angel or all devil” | it is = pretty certain that he was a fair representative of those impuls.ve natures which Bul with equal power toward the good or the bud—not from necessity, for that idea would upset the doctrine of free eeoet and make man a mere Machine, but because they will not open their eyes to the great truth that the greatest of conquerors fa he who brings his baser passions in subjection te the higher Jaculties of his nature, und thus con- In Ezekiel xvili., 20, we read, ‘The soul that sin- neth it shall die,’ and in verse 27 we read, in con- tinuation of the same subject, “when the wicked man turneth away from hs wickedness that he ath committed, and doeth that which ts lawful and right, he shail save his soul alive.” Is fs not evident that the soul here spoken of is the organized individual man—not the myste- rlona, subtle essence which is more ropery called spirit? Is it not equally evident that the death spoken of is not the natural death of the body, but g@ state of normal deatn, which is the condition of 7 one who is in a state of rebellion against God? It is the death in which our first parents be- ame involved in the day that they rebelled, although their natural death did not occur for many years; and from this moral death there is a moral resurrection; for St. Paul says, “You hath He juickened who were dead in trespasses and sins.’ jesus says, “I am the resurrection and the life; he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live.’ Now, we know that liter dead cannot exercise ‘the faculty of belief, It1s evident, therefore, that ft is those who are groping their in the durk- ness of unbelief and the shame and degradation of Moral death who are the fit subjects of Christ Moral resurrection, which takes place when ti i soul awakes to the consciousness that is love, and taat Jesus Christ is the living, per- onal revelation of that love to a sinful world, through the medium and operation of the Holy Spirit, which readiiy finds its way to every loving, delleving heart, This belief, however, must not be simply. @ blind, creduions acceptance of a man- creed, but such # stiong faith in the power of Jove, as exhibited in Christ’s life and death, as {ll the soul with love to God and love to man. faith or belief that falls short of that will fall 80 far short of working a moral resurrection, There, are many other Scriptural aS numerous to quote, in which the distinction be- ween soul and spirit is clearly drawn, all going vo confirm the view above expressed. The question hether the soul, in the Bible sense of the word, is jortal is, therefore, easily solved; for, partak- If, 08 8 part of Ite organization ‘of the earthy nature, Which is corruptivie, a dissolution of the partucrship between the spiritual avd the deshly rs _NEW YORK -HERALD, SUNDAY, where he sced sown In the ground, which “is pot quickened ex it die.” Now the grain of corn a one thing the grain dies, rots, but from that li germ eprin, up “first the blage, then the ear, ‘ane the car.”” So of the soul; {t dies, but tie immortal with'n the goul is to be raised toa sphere where t shall no longer Le clozgéd with the imperfections of the feshly nature, but, free from sin and its tempter ts tious, this newly clothed, immortai, Incorruy and glorious body shail join the heave! around the throne of God and the Lamb, “So when this corrupt.b/e shall have put on incovruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brougiit to pass the saying that 1s written, Death is swallowed up in victory.” 0. H. Can a SinceresJew Become a Sincere Christian? To Tre EpiTor OF THE HERALD:— In the religious correspondence of last Sunday’s HERALD two communications under the head of “The Society for the Conversion of the Jews” at- tracted my attention. Both correspondents doubt that any sincere Jew can ever become & sincere Christian, Now that is contrary to fact. Will they believe the sincerity of the convert who is cast forth from his father’s house in a bleak midwinter night and who holds on and bears his cross patiently ? Will they believe the sincerity of the man who casts from him the highest rabbinical honors in order to follow the despised Nazarene ? Will they believe the sincerity of the faithful wife, who, amid suffering and toil, prays that God may have mercy and turn the heart of her cruel husband, and after years of patient endurance finds an an- swer to her prayer in the conversion of her husband ? Have these two correspondents ever sought out the Jewish Christians in New York and learned their his- tory and manner, of life? Have they ever tested their sincerity? “Jew” writes that once in an age some “imbecile” professes Christianity. Can he substantiate that statement from personal know- ledge? Iam a converted Jew. I know what it is to be reviled and spurned; to have my motives im- ugned. Ihave gone through much, But “I know in whom I have believed,” and amid all my mental suflering He never forsook me, and gave me strength and patience to bear pyersining. And I ain not alone, by any means. You will find us in many churches; many are conscientions men and women, who have suffered much and tasted the bitter cup of Jewish tolerance when they forsook all for Christ’s sake. In our coun- try, where all creeds are equal before the law, the hand of the oppressor cannot injure us; 80 slander and sneering are the resort, But they can- Not take from us tho “peace tiat passeth Knowl A they can never deprive us of the truth that God 80 loved the world that He gave His Son for ita redemption; they can never blot ont the fact that for our transgressions was He smitten, and through the stripes which He received we have been healed; they can never biot out the fact that “Jesus Ohrist came into the world to save sinners.” And am not ps a ce pe ? And your two correspondents, whut are re. With this bridal a ‘with God’s help, in the man- ner considered heretical by your correspondents and all my race, worship lthe God of my fathers; and I propose to remain faithiul unto death, He giving me grace to endure as a good soldier of the Cross, and ever to declare, as did that Jewish con- vert of oid, who created so much excitement in his own day, and whose influence is so great in our times, the Apostie Paul, who styled himself a “Hebrew of the Hebrews;” that “I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ; for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth.” 1 hope that you will find this communication sufficiently interesting to publish, as | would like | ed correspondents, “Jew” and “M. L., Jr.,’ to now that there is at least one Jewish convert in New York who demurs at being considered an “imbecile,” and who is not ashamed of being a disciple of Jesus of Nazareth, the Son of God and Saviour. ‘ SiG, ‘The Norwegian Lutheran Church in New York. To THE EpiTor or THE HERALD:— About five years ago th$ Norwegian Lutheran Synod of America sent one of their ministers, Rev. O. Juni, to organize a church here on a sound Lu- theran basis. He has had a hard and dificult work to perform. His countrymen are spread all over the city, and the more wealthy ones have, as a rule, taken but little interest in the matter. The con- gregation has, moreover, constantly been losing by emigration to the Western States. In spite of all drawbacks the interest has, however, been steadily increasing, and for the last three years their place of worship has been overcrowded. It was there- fore resolved to get as soon as possible a suitable property. House and lot No. 66 Monroe street, about five blocks north of Catharine Ferry, has now been bought for $14,000, The work of remodelling, that will cost about six thousand dollars, ia now rapidly progressing. It will give the congregation @ neat church and a good parsonage. The work of this church ts of great importance, not only to the Scandinavians who reside in the city and its sur- roundings, but also to the large number of Scan- dinavian sailors who visit New York. At present we have more than seventy Scandinavian vessels in port. Rev. Jun, who has already moved into the new place, ia still their pastor, and has the love and confidence of his people. fe wish him success in his undertaking, and hope that his countrymen, and others who take an interest in the Scandinavian element of our city, will give him # helping hand, Death ond the Resurrection, To THe EpiTor OF THE HERALD:— If anything were requisite to show the necessity for and the importance of the revelations made through Emanuel Swedenborg of the science of torrespondences, the spiritual sense of the sacred Scriptures and the state of man after death, surely the variety of ideas upon the subjects of immortality, death and the resurrection expressed in the columns of the HeraLp should satisfy every one. Intelligent men to-day Lave outgrown the apparent truths of nature and are diving into real truths, and are stadying the laws which govern in the natural world. Facts and laws which men can comprehend are taking the place of the theories and speculations of the past. Nature is full of contradictions, or of apparent and real truths. Soa revelation, if it is actually the word of God and in harmony with his works, must con- tain, in the letter, contradictions or apparent and Teal truths. Man by searching may find out nature and natural laws, for they are within the grasp of man’s reason; but by searching he cannot find out God or genuine spiritual truths. However well he may comprehend God and His attributes when they are revealed to him, he cannot, by his unaided reason, build a tower which will reach unto heaven and enable him to scale its ramparts, and bring down heavenly truths which will lead to the celestial kingdom, Jf he would reach heaven he Must ascend by tue ladder let down from heaven, or accept and obey the spiritual truths revealed by the Lord, Man's unaided reason can see no higher motive for action than seltishness; for it dwells in the light of natural truths; whereas revelation veaches us to love the Lord and our neighbor su- remely. Nor can man’s associate spirits teach him heavenly truths ; or by an inexorame aw of spiritual association—that of aftinity—they are, like himself, no better, often worse, than bis average. This in painfully manifest in the writings and teachings of modern Spiritualism, As a rule a persoual God is denied by Spiritualists, although we see all around us the most wonderful manifestations of thought and affection in the works of God. As well might the finger of a watch attribute it to the general mind of man, independent of all personal men, All special revelations from God are denied, as though @ kind and benevolent Father and Crea- tor would create man, give him reason, conscience and ireedom of wili, entail sudering upon wron, doing and then leave him to afrone in spiritual darkness without any speci revelation of His will, Would an earthly parent thus treat his children? The necessity of being born again, or of regeneration, or of making our natural selfish knowledge and affections subordinate to revealed truths and love of the Lord and our neighbor is denied, and progression is taught in Its stead, when progression in the false and evil can only lead to the false and evil. How far above such teachings are the beautiful precepts of divine revelation | But the traditions and doctrines of men have ob- scured the doctrines of the primitive Christian Church until confusion reigns and “mystery” is written over the portals of a divided and scattered Church. And a8 man by the ald of his own reason cannot search out either true doctrines or the true spiritual meant of God's . Word the Lord has not delayed “His second coming, but has, through @ chosen human agent—imanuel Swedenborg—reveaied to men the doctrines of the prophetical New Jerusalem Church, an together wich them, the spiritual sense of the sacred Scriptures, unfolding the laws in accordance with which they were written, and demonstrating rationally that they are special revelations irom God to mun, Asan orthodox clergyman declared but a few after reading the writings of Swedenborg, “Nothing else but these writing save the world from acepticism and a de divine revelation.” ‘The doctrines of the New Jerusalem are cloarly taught in the literal sense of the sacred Scriptures, when wnobscured by false doctrines in the mind of the reader; but they are beautifully illustrated aud limminatea In the spiritual sense. : In relationto the subjects under consideration, or standing at the head of this arti- cle, it is necessary to do littic more than to plainly state the true doyirige” and the reqder aan ner 7 5% pe bin’ Bb Panay 0 their reasonableness and readily confirm their truth as he reads his Bible, ‘There are two deaths treated of in the Scrip- tures—a death of the material ».When the lat- Tesamed, and and sins, wherein @ man ex- alts reason nature above revelation, hearkens to the seductions of thp serpent or his sensu selfish nature, and mak °6 8c: -gratification and self- love his ruling affections; then heavenly affections and truths perish or his soul, is was the death pronounced in the first chapters of Gene- gis, and not the material 3 Jor it is clear that man did not die literally whem he tranagressed, So there ave two resurrectious, tho resurrection of the spiritual body or real man {nto the ritual world from the dead material body, which takes place at What we call death, for material flesh and biood canuot inherit the kingdom of and a resur- rection from the state of spiritual death in tres- pe and gins, to which oar sver blessed Lod and aster alludes, waen He declares, “1 am the resur- rection and the lie; he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live, and whosoever liveth and believeth in me shali never die.” Ey te ‘ne hour is coming and now is when the iead shall hear the voice of the Son 0; God, and thev that hear shail live.’ iE Non-Believers im Eternal Punishment, To Tux EpiToR O¥ THE HERALD:— In reply to your correspondent of to-day, who docs not believe in eternal punishment, I should like to call his attention to the following texts, and aak his opinion on txem:—Matthew xxv., 46—“And these shall go away into everlasting punishment; but the righteous into life eternal.” Daniel xii., 2— “and many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to everlasti contempt and shame.” Isaiah ixvi., 24—“For their worm dieth not, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhor- — toall tes.” Mark ix., 44—"Where their worm si LY vi ot and their fire is not quenched.” Luke Xvi, 25, 28—“And he cried and sald, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and my tongue, for] am tormented in this name.’ but Abraham sald, “But now he is comfo:ted, and thou art tormented.’ ‘For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come inté this place of torment.’ A SEEKER AFTER TRUTH. Whe Are the Representative Protestant and Catholic Clergyme: To THE Epiror oF THE HERALD:— Your comparison, in the manner of Plutarch, of certain representative Protestant and Roman Catholic clergymen, in your issue of Sunday last, was certainly interesting. It is open, however, to doubt whether any Episcopalian would approve of your selection of Drs, Dix and Ewer as the ablest men in his. communion in New York. They are both men of ability, Dr. Dix especially so; but other names occur which rank higher than either, In | learning theological, Dr. Seabury, of the General Seminary, is factle princeps in his communion. Dr. ‘Washburne, of Calvary Church, is, perhaps, next beside him, and, in addition, is one of the abicst preachers in the Jand—logical, learned and power- ful. Dr. Rylance, of St, Mark’s, is a preacher vastly in advance of the representatives you name, pos- sessing some of the rarest gifts of the pulpit orator. But in naming the distinguished Epis- copal clergy of New York it is like Hamlet “with Hamlet leit out’? to omit the most many-sided, and most widly known and iniuential of them all, the rector of Christ church and editor of the Church Journal—Hugh Milier Thompson. Dr.*Thompson has been called “the Beecher of Episcopacy,” but no two men, with strong points of resemblance, could be more unlike. Up to within @ year Dr. Thompson’s life has been that of a stu- dent, a thinker and a writer. He has few superiors in the land as a deeply read scholar and a man of large and liberal knowledge. Comparatively young, no inan has wielded anything like his influence in moulding opinion im the Episcopal Church in these latter days. But it was not known except to a few in New York that, in addition to his qualities as a man of learning, a writer and a reasoner, Dr. ‘Thompson also ed the gifts of a rare and wonderful popular eloquence. He preaches from the altar steps, ‘without note or comment.’’? He is gifted generously with the (oor basis of ora- tory—an athletic frame; a broad, deep chest; a handsome, strong face; a Leonine head, covered with disordered masses of coal-biack, curting hair, and ligutened by a pair of Geen, brown eyes, with that gad, poetical, far-away look so ullar to Irish eyes. His birth may account as well for the impas- jonea, headlong flow of an eloquence at once flery and tender, fierce and full of pathos, de- livered with @ voice that sweeps all the gamut of human feeling, His church has become crowded to overflowing since he came, and even on these sweltering nights, when his people are out of town, it is filled with strangers, In mentioning the great pulpit orators of the city, among those of the Episcopal Church we cannot allow the most original, certainly, and, perhaps, the most powerful siuce Dr. Hawks, to be pased over. Scholar, poet, orator, of Dr. Thompson more than any there are those who say For he on honeydew hath fed ‘ind drunk the milk of Paradise, Cc a The Dolly Varden Church. To THE EpiTor or THE HERALD:— Permit me to ask you to suggest to the various dissatisfied zealots who desire to strike out for themselves and construct a pot pourri of a Church, composed of members from all denominations, like ® pound of mixed candies in @ paper bag, that, for distinction and suitability, it be called the Church of the Dolly Vardens, oO. A Question for Swedenborgians. To THE Eprror or THE HERALD:— Ihave, from time to time, in reading the HERALD seen pieces of greater or lesser length on Sweden- borgianism (is not that an awful long name, Mr. Editor’), and I beg to ask you how it comes to pass that in treating of the Scriptures, in many in- stanses, quite extensively, there is no regular connected exposé of the four Gospels, Iam aware that they are quoted from very much, but ‘the Old Testament (at least Genesis and Exodus) are treated of in detail. Now, why are not the four Gos- pels of equal consequence? Inform a devoted reader of and a believer in the HERALD. JOHN EMANUEL, Third Annual Reception of the Pupil'’s of St. Anne’s, Brooklyn. On Tuesday evening, the 2d instant, a large and appreciative audience assembled in the new school house, to be present at the annual reception given by the pupils, ere they take their vacation. There were present, besides the tutoresses, a great number of those Sisters who have made Brooklyn nearly equal to New York in its educa- tional capacities—I mean the faithful Sisters of St. Joseph—who never leave anything in their power untried that will benefit those under their charge. In Brooklyn they are educating 5,000 females. At five o'clock the reception was opened witha grand march, after which was given vocal chorue— “Welcome to Our New Hall’? by the senior classes; then the “Salutatory,” by Miss Lavelle; then a piano duet, “Perl Waltzes,” Misses Finley and vag then vocal solo, “La Separazione,” by Misa M. Kennedy. A drama entitled “A Kind Act is Never Lost,’ was then played and the young girls deserve the highest raise for the manner in which they acted their dierent parts. A vocal chorus, “Little Footsteps,” was en sung and thus terminated the first part. The second part opened with a plano duct, ‘“Mar- tha,” Getze, by Misses Lavelle id Dutty, which was followed by a vocal chorus, ‘Joyous Hours,” by the senior classes. A drama, “The Crowning of the Queen of Flowers,” was then played, ter which & vocal duet, “hwo Forest lymphs,” sung by Misses Foley and McKernan. The valedictory by Miss Dugan was followed by the farewell song, after which the gold medal was presented to Miss Cecelia Foley, and crowns of honor to other girls. ‘The closing hymn, ‘“‘Ave Maria,” Rossini, sung by the senior classes, brought the third reception to a close. The annudl examination, which took place on Friday, June 28, would satisfy the most critical, and reflecta the greatest credit on teachers who have been, as some ignorant bigots have it, in the habit of teaching nothing but er. But if th ld hear the most dificult questions in secular knowledge answered by mere children taught by the Sisters there they would dispel the idea that “nothing but prayer is taught in Catholic schools,” and have tn- stead “itis they (the Sisters) alone to whom the youth of our land should be entrusted, for the; mingle religion and God along with secular knowl- edge, and thus lay @ firm foundation for the trials of our after life. SNOWDROP, St. Joseph's Academy, Fordham. ‘The young lady students of St. Joseph's Academy, at Fordham, gave @ most pleasing entertainment on Monday at their exhibition at the close of the term.

Nobody, it adds, has ever yet mistaken the bishop for an olive branch, or a white flag, or anything else in that ine; yet the Advocate is glad that if any one is sent into the Southern fleld Bishop Haven should be the man. There are others, it says, who would be bene- fited by a trip to the South. ‘They are possessed of intense convictions, and have got into such a way of loving or hating hugely things with which the; are imperfectly acquainted that actual contact with the objects of their admiration or disgust is needed to secure a healthy tone of mind.

The New Empire at War with Rome—The Ultra- montanes Put to Their Mettle—Onslaught Upon the Jesuits—Lively Debate in the Reichstag—The Bealm Triumphant. BERLIN, Jane 20, 1872, Refore reporting upon the exciting Reichstag debate on the Jesuit bill, I may premise that to- wards the close of last month the official organs unanimously declared that, owing to the approach- ing close of the session, the government would not have suffictent time to frame so important a bill—a work which required most careful study and con- sideration, It was even hinted by seml-oficial authority that an agitation against the Jesuits would not then be pleasant to some of the foremost (imperial) personages, and that the Reichstag’s resolution of May 23, requesting from the government anti-Jesuit measures, would probably be altogether disregarded. It was then that Prince Bismarck, finding it impossible to re- move his imperial master’s scruples a8 toan ag- gressive policy against the ultramontanes, sud- denly departed for his Varzin estate under pretext ofabsolute need of rest, As his accustomed good luck would have it, however, up turned the conflict between Bishop Namezanowski, the Catholic Chap- lain General of the Army, and Minister of War Von Roon, about the Panthaleon church, in Cologne. The prelate’s course (under Papal instructions) being construed as direct rebellion against military discipline, so roused the Emperor's indignation that he at once consented to having oe ‘THE JB3UIT BILL BROUGHT INTO THR REICHITAG. The first draft, framed in tue Federal Counefi, proposed to deprive all German Jesuits of their citizenship, and provided for a tribunal of seven judges to which such a3 might teel injured by this measure might appeal. The Emperor should have the right to select, from judges of the Supreme Court, the president and thres members of said tiibunal, and the Federal Council was to select from its own midst, the other three judges. This drat Was strongly opposed by Prussia im the said Coun- cl. Then Bismarck ordered his trien wh path ag ae the Privy Councillor and conservative leader, Deput; Ww an , to Varzin, whence the lator returned wit! full instructions which led to the adoption of a. bill, the shortest which ever emanated from the Federal Council, and which simply placed the Jesuits, their rights of domicile and citizenship, at the mercy of the police. In introducing this bill to the Reichs Herr Friedberg, of the Federal Council, attempted to account for its crude state by calling it a tempo- rary measure, to be followed by further enactments thoroughly regulating the Jesuit question, One objection likely to be made against this bill he would meet forthwith—viz, that this bill was aimed against the Catholic Church and its interests, Pre- vious to the ESTABLISHMENT OF THE ORDER OF JESUS the Catholic Chureh, in ali its splendor, had ex. isted for 1,600 years; it existed after a Pope had blotted out the Order, and it now flourishes in countries whose secular laws and constitations still uphold the prohibition; hené the Order of Jesus must not for a moment be identified with the Catholic Church, As the nature of this bill, touch- ing more or less on matters of conscience and con- viction, will be apt to’stir p-ofound contrasts of feeling, he would recommend that the discussion be allowed to Brtcaed on @ purely objective basis. The first speaker against the bill was Deputy von Maliinckrodt (Rhenish provinces), who stigma- tized it as a direct violation of the Tights gilaranteed citizens by the constitution, the last twenty-five years not a single trespass on the laws had been proved against the Society of Jesus. It was now proposed to try and condemn it without @ hearing. Young men of his acquaint- ance, raised in Jesuit colleges, had fought and bled for Germany in the late war, or acted as Samart- tans on thé fleld of battle. ‘they are now to be ex- patriated, This bill, threetening a distinct class of individuals, also includes, in a loose and indistinct manner, Sinerenerens related to it. It does not say who are the persons referred to. It roscribes entire classes of society, as was done uring Rome’s worst state of deciine, and It treats men esteemed for their virtue and us:fulness as outcasts, You are asked to grant another dicta- torial office to Bismarck, who, not long ago, spoke affectionately of the Jesuits, gNo one can rely upon the constancy of this statesman, who has a decided inclination to pick up his friends among all political parties, and even among rebels who have lived in exile. It is the same with his RPL Arm and arm with Austria ho marched into Schieswig-Holstein, and at Biarritz he cultl- vated intimate relations with Napoleon the Third. He also tried to approach us, the Cutholic or Oen- tral pre of the ichstag, through Cardinal An- tonelll. He knows by this time the value of the friendship of the Jesuits; but he also knows that they are somewhat wary and not inclined to become his tools. You liberals of this House need not deem your alliance with the Chancellor an ev »riasting one. ‘This speech, which lasted over two hours, brought out an explanation from the Plen(potentiary of the Federal Council as to the congregations affillated to the Jeauits, These are, accordiug to said explana- tion, the Redemptorisia or Liguorians, and the Ignorantines or School Brothers of La Salle, the former under Roman, the latter under French auspices, Deputy Wagner, the intimus of Bismarck, now secured the floor. The remarks of the previous speaker made it unnecessary tor him to adhere to the Pomeranian proverb—“Seldom excel your oppo- nent in politeness, never in rudeness.” It was ridiculous to speak of this bill as endang German liberty. All measures are justifiable a a society which demands absolut» obedience fr members, destroys individual will, and exacts adherents the passiveness of corpses, (Cries the centre, “Just as inthe army.”) Ihave accused of misquoting: but whenever these tlemen (pointing to the Catholics) wish to su or deny anything by their Church literature have two interpretations cut and dried and use of each asthe case demands, I am ch with being the mouthpiece of the Chancellor it is said that I and my friends have declared we would not LEAVE BISMAROK IN THR LURCH. Both. of these charges are lies, As for myt would have gone far beyond this bill had we no} poner more stringent measures in the fv he realm is at war with Rome, and this bill claims the state of siege. (General sensa’ + War has been decreed against us by the Vari ow. and you attempt to make us believe that i 4 our friends. You have been well treated in many, and in return you conspire with F Jesuits to fanaticize the lower classes of this and of ey, and Austria, These facts stan’ ‘+ corded in the political memoirs of-the Chance * department. Germany does not underrate th portance of the Jesuits; her first backward would be the commencement of her defe openly declare that the Catholic Church is not , erned by the Pope, but by the Jesuits, at so doing 1 rely upon the words utiere the Jesuit General, Pater Ricci bhimsel Emperor Joseph IL, and upon the testi oy of Ohateaubriand, French Ambassador the Holy See. The government, tl very cautious in its conclusions, is vinced that Rome does not mean peace; th and rude rejection of Cardinal Honenlihe stan a strong proof of the fact. Your allusions to near the person of the Chancellor are occasion Tegret that none of your party ure deemed w ’ of the positions. Your vituperations agains’ bill deserve a qualification which I withuold out of respect for the chairman. The debate proceeded in this sledge-har style, as Deputy Windthorst (Mappen), who sv obtained the floor, is not one of t.ose who m! expressions, Wagner," said he, “has, in hi n name and that of those for whom he seem) 60 thorized to speak, declared WAR TO THE KNIFE against us and a great portion of the Catholics, desire peace, and are ready to give unto Cesar belongs to Cesar and unto God what 1s God's, it you brasquely declare war to us war you have!
