A blooming ruaid in bloomer dresf,
With this device upon hcrcreit—

And like a martial bugle rung
The tones of that outlandish tongue—

Tbe following is an extrsotof the Pope's
tall fur the Ecumenical L'cuujU just an-
sa tub ed st llonto :
"Now it is well kuown and manifest to
all by bow fearful a tempest the church
is at this time shaken, and what and how
great are the evils with whioh civil society
iuelf is afflicted. Hy the bitter enemies
cf Qod and men, tho Catholic Church aud
her saving doctrine aud venerable power,
and supremo authority of this Holy Sec,
have bees assailed and trodden under foot;
ail sacred things have been demised, ecs
clcsiastical possessions have been plunder-
ed, bishops and most excellent men devo-
ted to the divine ministry, and men re-
markable fur their Catholic spirit have
been in every way harrassed, religious
communities have been destroyed, impis
nua books of every kind, pestilential jour-
nals and most pernicious sects of many
lortna have been ou every side sptesd
abroad, and the education of unhappy
yoa th has been almost everywhere taken
away from the clergy, aud wtiat is worse
in no few place* committed tn the teachers
nf iniquity and error. Hence, to our cx>-
trente grief, aud that of all good mon, and
with a loss of souls which can never bo
enough deplored, impiety has boon so props
agatod, together with corruption nf mor.
ali>., unbridled license, and the contagion
of all kinds of depraved opinions, of all vis

humau laws, that not only our most holy
religion, but human society itself, is misers
ably disturbed and ulHiotcd."
A Mixed Marriage.—A widow lady
of this place named Mrs. W—, who is a
copvert to spiritualism, became convinced
that her affinity was cmbodiod id the spir
it of a gentleman who died nearly two
years ago, ami she accordingly sought the
couniel of a lady medium, also a resident
of the county seat, who advised her to at
coco be united in wedlock to the doooascd.
Strango as it may seem, Mrs' W— made

We printed tho other day, the state-
ment by a leading Catholic clergyman of
the position of his church on tho question
of tho liible iu the Schools, We huvo
received a long letter from auother Catb-
ulio authority on tho subject, accompani-
ed by the followiug :
To the tdilor of the Trxbnne :
Sat—I havo read your articled oa this
subject lately, aud with all due respcot to
you, I thiuk you do not present the views
*20 00 j yf Catholics on the subject in the right
35 001 .
50 001 light. I send you au article from
60 00 j tho New Yoik Tablet, which presents our
wishes and intentions fairly and' fully,
without disguise or iwuceitlment. We
don't object to Protestants reading the
Bible iu school if they wish, or using any
school-books they prefer; but, as Irish
Catholics, we want to bring up our chil-
dren in oar own way, aud teach theui to
be good Catholics. This wo caonot do in
mixed schools, and wo want to educate
them in the true faith, with our own
books, and by good Catholio teachers.—
We dou't waut to mix tp with Protest-
ants, and Jews, and Infidels in school ft1,
ters, because wo Rant our children to grow
up in the lloly Roman Faith, like their
fathers, and not imbibe the looso and ir
religious independence of the age, Now,
j our religious guides aud teaehers havo de-
clared our purposes iu such articles as the
ud rest one I seud you, and therefore what we
want is our proportiou of the school money
according to the number of our scholars,
and to teach our children iu our own
schools. This is what ws are striving to
obtain, aud from our pa-,1 success in get-
ting what wc want, we know we shall get
oar proportion of the school money and
have our own school?. Wc don't like the
godless schools, whore our childreu shall
hear our Holy religion and our Priests
derided, nor any books which are not aps
proved by our Reverend Bishops and
Clergy, and llis Holiness our Sovereign
Pontiff. If yon wid publish tho articlo
I send you it will clearly sho* tho views
of Irish Catholics, expressed by ourselves
in a clear mauDcr, and tho public can
judge that wo are right in not desiring our
children to be •'Americanixcd," as The
1'ablet forcibly puts it, which means "des
moralized" from the Holy Roman Catho-
lic and Apoetolio Church, the Mother and
Mistress of all Churahus. Now, Mr-
Greeley, we don't want you to bo deoeived
by any one; our views are set forth in
The Tablet, and we feel strong enaugh
now to try tho question before tho Amer*
icon people, knowing that we are right iu
our views. Wre dou't want to disturb your
Public School System. All wo want is
our share of the public shool money to ed-
ucate our children in our own way. If
you want to educate your children with-
out religion, we do not. We believe in
training our children in tho Holy Roman
Faith at all times, and wo believe that is
best done by having separate schools of our
own, Fur this purpose we have been for
years establishing separate schools all over
the city; and we thiuk that cur fellow cit-
izens will Dot allow all the expense to fall
upon us any longer. They havo signifi-
ed their approval of our ability and
wo thiuk they will not now objeot to our
haviosi our proportion of the public school
fund for our own schools, At any rate,
Mr. Greeley, wo want the subject fully
understood. We don't want ottr ohildrcn
ro attend it religious schools, nor schools
where they shall be mixed up with other
children; wc want to send them to Catb-
olio schools, under Catholio teaohers, and
must be widely scattcrod in the pursuit of
Agriculture and t>ub«iJiary or kindred
employments, so as to render it difficult
and costly at best to bring schools suffi-
ciently near to our children to securo their
general and constant attendance. If, uow.
wo are to accord separate schools to Caths
olics, wo inevitably divide and weaken
thousauds uf districts so they can n« loug"
cr maintain common schools, or we compel
consolidation of two or more districts; and
has enlarge them so that many ohildion
will be unablo to attend.
With an anxious desiro to makw any
reasonable and proper -concession, it seems
to us that compliance to the Roman Cath-
olic demand, as above presented, is simply
impossible, becauso incompatible with the
preservation of tho Common School sys-
torn in itB essence. For wo cannut eouoede
to Catholics what wo refuse to others; aud
Jews, Infidels, Rationalists, aud overy
other denomination, wight claim separate
schools, and we shall have to cotioedc
thorn; thus breaking up our schools entire-
ty-
Again: It is insisted that White
children must not bo cducstod in the same
schools with Colored; and we arc constrains
ed to say that most Catholics support that
claim. This, you see, bisects the commu-
nity on still another plane, and renders
the education of the masses still more dif-
ficult. We must take our stand and figh'
for Common Schools, or consent to seo s
very lar^e portion of our children grow up
illiterate and unfit for soma of the most
important duties of republican oitixenship,
Any sect or class is at perfect liberty
to educate its own children in separate
schools. No one objects to that. But
Common School education is a very diflWr-
eut matter; au d that ws must insist >u
providing for all at tuo pubiio expense —
If any class or clan rejnctjt, so; but we
must still have coutuou schools, and there
aioue supported by general taxation.—
There is no other way, aud if wo ie fores

Tbo Eeuaeuical Council, about to (It

pastorml letter written by Pope Pius IX.
in 1864. Tbe Syllabus, divided under
appropriate general heads, contains eighty •
spcoifioiaioos of religeous errors prevailing
at the pveseul day, and has been tho subjcct
of severe comments. It is therefore a
matter of interest to learn what views in
reference to these points of religion are ens
terlained by prominent members of tbo
Catholio Chureh, and as tbe latost foreign
mails bting aceouuts of a discourse on the
S) llabun, delivered in London,on October
;i, by Archbishop Manning, oao of tho
most distinguished Catholio prelates we
give a brief abstract of tho gcrmoo. Aroh
bishop Manning says that if tbe Pope bad
confined himself to tho Syllaluj simply to
inculcating the necessity of fuilb aod mors
ality iu tho ordinary pa rsoual seuso of tho
woid, very little would havejbeen heard iu
opposition, hut because bo had pointed out
and eondemed all thosejerrori in 'political
philosophy, which were based upon an or-
roneous system of morals,'^tbo ,world has
been iu an uproar. The "modern oivilixa-
tion" oondemnod by tho Pope means, said
Dr- Manning, a stuto of political soototy
founded upou divorce, sccu'ar oduoation,
infiuato divisions and contradiotioDS in
matters of religion, aod tho ubsoluto re-
nunciation of thessupreme authority of the
Christian church- The intention of the
Syllabus ho said further, wus to invito
those who havo wandered from Christian
civilisation to lotuin to Christian mar-
riage, Christian oduoation, Christian unity
of fuith aud worship, and Christian* sub-
mission to.Him who is pastor of pastors.
