pardoned.
Atlanta, Ga., June S3, 1870.
Editor* Telegraph and Messenger Yester
day Judge Culverhouse, accompanied by bis
partner, Mr. Avant,presented to his Excellency,
Gov. Bullock, a petition praying for the pardon
of Jack McCray who was convicted of murder at
the last term of Crawford Superior Court. The
petition, was accompanied by a strong recom
mendation of his Honor, Judge Cole, of peti
tioner to Executive clemency. It appears that
Rosa McCray, who was jointly convicted with
petitioner, after trial confessed that she alone
did the djUd of violence, the effects of which
produced the death; that Jack had nothing to
do with it, nor had he any knowledge of the
same. The showing being conclusive as to the
innocence of Jack, the Governor granted the
prayer of petitioner, and Judge Culverhouse left
fMa morning with an order to the sheriff for
Jack’s discharge. Lucky escape, Jack—take care
not to be found in bad company again. X.
Temperance lecture.
We are sure that our community deplores the
evils of intemperance, and laments the harm
done by its ravages. We hail, therefore, with
gratification, evidences of a movement made
. check them. Rev. Dr. Wills, of our city, it was
announced, lost week, has been invited by the
entire clergy of the city to deliver, at the City
Hall, a popular lecture on the "‘Evils of Intem
perance,” and from our personal knowledge of
the gentleman, we can vouch for something
brilliant and striking, even on so commonplace
a subject.
But our Object in bringing the subject into
notice is to announce that, owing to a meeting
of the Sunday School Institute, Dr. Wills’ lec
ture has been postponed until Thursday night.
We hope, toorefore, to see the City Hall, on
Thursday night, crowded with the ladies and
gentlemen of Macon—the former especially are
invited; and wo can give personal assurance
that the orator’s established reputation will be
fully maintained, and a rich intellectual treat
may be expected. Let all classes, then, unite
in this effort to oppose the insidious ravages of
King Alcohol, by a general attendance.
State ICoiuI Matters.
The Constitution calls attention to the fact
that whereas Patty Harris, Sopervieor of the
State Hoad, testifies before the investigation
committee that there was a cash balance of
$3,263.30 on April 1st, Treasurer Harris says
there was a deficiency, at that date, of $41,-
743.00.
The Constitution is very impertinent in all
matters concerning the State Bond. It wants
to know, now, why B. F. Moore, the lately dis
charged book-keeper of the State Road, has not
been examined. The Constitution thinks he
knows too much, which is a thing very cruel to
say, we really do think.
The Constitution also shows a very meddle
some spirit in calling attention to the fact that
whereas the law of the State says the Auditor
of the State Road shall receive $1,500 per an
num salary, and the Treasurer $2,000, they
each draw $3,000 a year.
We submit that all this “poll prying” i3 in
exceedingly bad taste, besides being very med
dlesome. It must distort) and annoy very many
good men of the highest sense of honor, and
the most delicate sensibilities, who are wearing
themselves to a shadow serving the people of
and five thousand dollar salaries and perquisites.
It is positively outrageous.
Michigan on State Aid.
TheSupreme Courtof Michigan—the Chief Jus
tice and two out of three associates concurring,
have astonished the world in these latter days
by a bit of sodnd old democratic doctrine. They
have declared unconstitutional, null and void a
general law of that State passed in 1869, “to
enable any township, city, or village to pledge
its aid, by loan or donation, to any railroad
company now chartered or organized, or that
may hereafter be organized, under and by vir-
ture of the laws of the State of Michigan, in the
construction of its road.”
The Court with remarkable peculiarity in
these days came down upon the whole system
of State Aid to railroads and other industrial
enterprises—claiming very properly that govern
ments were not instituted for any such purpose.
That is the old democratic doctrine, and we
have no doubt of its soundness.
Shame on IHm.
Some chap, hard up for an item, perpetrates
the following slander on our and everybody
disc's numerous friend, the Smith family. We
hope when they get clear of the sheriff they’ll
all go for him. Says the wretch:
“A few weeks ago the Governor of Ohio of
fered $500 for the arrest of a man named John
Smith. There are 110 counties in Ohio, and in
less than two days the sheriffs of all these coun
ties arrived in Columbus, each with a man
namod John Smith. During the three succeed
ing days over two thousand detectives, police
men, and private citizens from Kentucky, Penn
sylvania, New Jersey, Ohio, Indiana, West Vir
ginia and Illinois, arrived in Columbus, every
fellow bringing with him some unhappy man
named John Smith, and more arrive every day.
The aggregate of Smiths at present in Colum
bus is simply awful. And the worst of it is,
that every man insists that his Smith is the par
ticular Smith mentioned in the proclamation,
and ho is going to have that $500 or hash the
Governor right up. The Governor is trying to
decide whether to pay the reward to every man
in the lot or resign.”
Georgia.
The indications to ns, now, are that Georgia
will slip back into the Union again, this week,
through the bill agreed upon by the Reconstruc
tion Committee which admits the State to rep
resentation at once, and provides for a new
election next fall.
We hardly think there can or will be any se
rious opposition to the bill in either House. The
friends of the Bingham amendment favor itf and
even Bullock’s friends who have been raising
such a howl over the impossibility of having a
fair election in the fall without additional legis
lation, are estopped from farther objection on
that score, now that the bill enforcing the Fif-
. teenth Amendment has become a law. That,
bristling all over with pains and penalties as it
does, is enough to satisfy the most malignant
Radical in Congress.
. Schenck, M. O. is a very hard case anyway
you take him, but he has come to one righteous
decision. By his influence and exertions, the
Committee on Ways and Means have resolved
to abolish all the wretches who sneak around
and inform on liquor dealers and distillers and
tobacco manufacturers, getting, there/or, half the
penalty. H e has found out, at last, that these
Creatures will cheat their employers as quick as
anybody else, and that all a man who is viola
ting the law has got to do to secure their silence
is to grease their palms.

Western Textile Fabric Exposition.
We had a call yesterday, from Mr. J. J. Gr-
mand, of Chicago, in behalf of the gTeat Wes
tern Textile Fabrio Exposition, the third of
which takes place in Indianapolis, on and three
days after the second day of August next. The
oommiifee of arrangements desire numerous
contributions from the South, both of textile
fabrics, staples of fabrics and machinery, and
they guarantee that there shall be no expense of
freight, drayage or insurance on nrtioles for
warded for exposition. Exhibitors will also be
passed on half fare tickets. Shipments sbonld
be made early in July, so as to arrive by the
25th day of that month.
The business men of the West are very prop
erly alive to the importance of establishing di
rect business connections with the South and
breaking np that expensive circuit by which our
manufactures reach them via the Atlantic cities.
They are especially anxious that all Southern
manufacturers particularly should be represent
ed at thia exposition, whiohitisintendedshall be
one of the most extensive which has ever been
presented on the continent. The Great West,
with all the energies of a young giant, is strik
ing for Industrial, Commercial and Financial In
dependence. This is her aspiration, and she is
bound to realize it.
To do this the more speedily her business re
lations with the South must be strengthened
and become more intimate. Her cotton trade
is small, and her cotton manufactures aro re
presented by a cypher; but believing the time
is just at hand, when Southern cotton manufac
tures will assume in this section a magnitude of
development seconded only to cotton production,
she seeks an early business connection with Ibis
interest, not only in tho way of exchange, bnt
also of investment. We are assured there is a
strong disposition in the West to invest in
Southern cotton manufactures, as well as to
seek their supplies of cotton goods directly from
the South.
The enormous trade already developed be
tween the West and South—far too great, in
respect to food supplies, for the welfare of the
South—must result at last in the re-establish
ment of an intersectional comity, which is now
completely ignored by the political representa
tives of that section—nino-tenths of whom are
tho mere echo of the bitter and proscriptive
fanaticism and protective greed of New Eng
land. The question how long the West will
continue her political sympathies with a section
to which she is merely tributary, in preference
to the South from which she draws her wealth,
is pressing itself upon her people—particularly
when it is constantly demanded that she shall
proscribe, harrass, embarrass and cripple her
best customers. The West and South, allied
by natnre, should be firm political, commercial,
financial and agricultural allies. How long will
the West be blind to the plainest teachings of
the situation and the clear suggestions of self-
interest ?
“Presbyterian Re-Union.”
Supposing it were easy to unhorse our corre
spondent “Presbyter,” and we certainly see no
great difficulty in that enterprise, cut bono t
What good would be accomplished? If one
wanted to prevent a re-union of the Christian
denominations in the United States, the best
way would be to get up a controversy about it,
and superadd the odium theologicum to the
other weighty difficulties in the way of such a
consummation.
In reprinting, therefore, the able manifesto
of the Southern Church upon the obstacles to
re-union, our passing remark upon the negotia
tions and their fate, which Presbyter excepts to,
Vina UUt UCSlgUCU (V pxuiVAV vOssmww^. «.
was only tKo.* simple notice of a grand event,
which it was our business, as a F «o>ii n chronicler
to make. If we had intended to argue the ques
tion, we had no occasion to look for a better op
portunity or a more authoritative or stronger
statement of the view3&nd feelings of Presbyter
than were then presented. But the proposition
to argue this matter strikes us as practically ab
surd. Re-union has to do more with the senti
mental, moral, religions and sympathetic, than
the mere reasoning, natnre; and when the repel
lent forces are invoked and arrayed in a contro
versy upon the points of separation, the breach
is as surely widened as the sun shines.
“Presbyter” is right in saying a union with
out cordiality is a farce. It would only give
occasion for new quarrels and exacerbation;
whereas, on the contrary, seeing that the North
and the South and the East and the West, ore
compelled by force of arms and the providence of
Almighty God, to dwell together under one gov
ernment, and it is better to do so with some de
gree of unity than in perpetual antagonism, wo
naturally looked to the ctoistian men and Chris
tian churches bf the country to take the ad
vance in all'proper and rightful steps for the
removal of obstacles to friendly intercourse and
mutual good understanding. Bnt it is probable
that the Journal of Commerce is right in the
position that denominational re-union must fol
low and not precede a complete social and polit
ical fraternization, if ever these take place.
At all events we have not the remotest idea of
arguing, advising, persuading or soliciting any
of the denominations to a religious reunion, for
which they are not prepared in every way and
which they are not anxious to consummate.
Blodgett as n Financier.
Tho present Treasurer of the State Road, Har
ris, swears before the Investigation Committee
that tho expenses of tho road under Blodgett
for December, January, February and March
last were $1,102,879 93, and the receipts $1,061,-
136 84, showing on excess of cosh spent over
cash received, of $41,743 09. For the some
months in 1868-9 under Hnlbert tho expenses
were $274,065 25, and the receipts $4GO,828 57,
showing an excess of cash received over cosh
spent, of $18G,763 32. So Blodgett, with $1,
061,136 84 as the receipts for four monthR, puts
the road in debt $41,743 09, while Col. Hnlbert,
with but $460,828 57 os the receipts for the cor
responding four months, has put in the treasury
$186,763 32. --Under Hnlbert the total yearly
receipts were $2,238,480 02, of which $1,008,-
525 15 was paid to connecting roads. This rule
applied to Blodgett, subtracting $109,139 92
cash received by Harris, his Treasurer, would
make about $600,000 as the State Road earnings
for four months, or $140,000 more than under
Hnlbert.
So that while Hnlbert, oat of $460,828.57,
made $18G,7G3.32for the Treasury, Blodgett,
with $000,000, put the road in debt $41,743.09.
Inolher words, Blodgett has spent over $300,000
more in the same four mouths than Hnlbert.
The Constitution, to which we are indebted
for these figures,, seems bent on piling up wrath
against a day of wrath, by its sharp criticisms
and unanswerable exposition of the gross blun
ders and extravagances of the firm of' Bullock

Dr. H. J. Ogilby, of Madison, broke his arm,
Friday.
The Madison Journal gives the following
particulars of a shooting match in that place
Friday:
Just as we were going to press a very serious
and perhaps fatal shooting affray occurred in
front of Dexter’s stable. From the best state
ments wo can gather it appears that the mar
shal, Mr. Hogue, was attempting to arrest Mr.
T. S. Malone, of Jasper county, for disturbing
the peace. The marshal was resisted in liis
official duty, and finding the son of Mr. Malone
approaching him with a drawn revolver, ho im
mediately fired upon tho elder Malone, who was
advancing npon him also, shooting him in
the head. In a second attempt to fire on
the son, the pistol snapped, and the mar
shall was knocked down and held to the ground
while several shots were fired at him, one in the
right leg and the other in the back of the
neck. The marshal’s left arm was dislocated
as ho was struck down, rendering him al
most helpless. He would have been killed on
the spot had it not been for tho interference of
citiaens and tho arrest of tho parties. As the
case will soon undergo judicial investigation we
refrain from any comments in t.bia issue.
Mr. T. S. Hanson was also arrested as boing
engaged in the difficulty. As six or seven shots
were fired, and tho parties being in such closo
proximity, it is a God’s wonder that all of the
parties were not killed outright. Mr. Hogue,
we are pleased to report, is not considered dan
gerously, although seriously wounded.
Gab.—Tho New York Herald says the great
success of the new oxyhydrio gas in that city,
is suoh as to induce some of the foremost capi
talists to take hold of it, and that soon the com
pany which manufacture it will apply to the
city authorities for permission to lay down pipes
for a general supply of it. This gas has achiev
ed a decided success in Paris, and Is said by its
advocates, and.probably with truth, to possess
many advantages over that which is- in use at
jlreaeiit, prominent among which are, .that the
light is clear and more brilliant, that there is no
smoke, and that instead of heating tho atmos
phere it imparts a cooling influence. It can
furthermore be allowed to come out of the pipes
at night without any hurtful consequences.

Bin—In your"Lothaire” you introduce an Ox
ford Professor who is about to emigrate to
America, and you describe him as a social par
asite. You well know that if you had ventured
openly to accuse me of any social baseness, you
would have to answer for your words; but when
sheltering yourself under the literary forms of
a work of fiction, you seek to traduce with im
punity the social character of a political oppo-,
neut, your expressions can touch no man’s hon
or—they are the Btingless insults of a coward.

Macon and Cincinnati Railroad.
CtrsmiNO, Forsyth Co., Ga.)
June 3J, I860 )
Editors Telegraph and Messenger—What has
become of the Macon and Cincinnati Railroad?
A short time since this road was talked of con
siderably ; bnt for a few weeks we neither see
or hear anything of it.
This contemplated road is certainly one of
great importance to the commercial world;
saying nothing of the great convenience and ad
vantage it would be to North Georgia, East
Tennessee and Southern Kentucky, it would
make a direct outlet for tho immense and in
numerable products of tho great and growing
Northwest to tho Atlantio coast at Brunswick
and Savannah. Your prosperous city would bo
greatly benefited by thi3 road. Every county
and town through which it passed would receive
new life and energy, property would increase
in value ten fold. Why not build it! the route
is cortainly practicable to this point and many
miles above—the route is an excellent one.
I see no difficulty to surmount but the Blue
Ridge, and from gentlemen well informed, I am
told it will be no obstruction, there being two
practicable routes to cross it,then to Morganton,
Ducktown,Tennessee, thence to Athens, Loudon
or Knoxville.
The lands in this section and north are now
low. Many rich valleys and coves in the moun
tains. Wheat, com, oats, rye, barley, etc., grow
finely. Clover and the grasses can be success
fully grown in North Georgia and Tennessee.
Apples in abundance. This county cannot be
surpassed for vegetables, such as potatoes, cab
bage, onions, etc.
Rich minerals, Buch as gold, copper and iron,
abound, and only await this or some other road
to pass through the country to insure their de
velopment and warrant a handsome remunera
tion to the operator.
Water-power, as fine as the world affords, in
abundance. In fact, nature seems to have
formed the country so that the man with lim
ited means could procure a home hero, where
he can live at ease. A more picturesque and
healthy country is not to be fonnd—with beau
tiful scenery and fine mineral water. The only
thing needed is a main trunk railroad running
through the country. While the means at com
mand will prevent onr people from doing a
great deal, still they will do all in their power
to aid in the great enterprise. Let Macon send
some practical man and engineer to look ont a
route; ho will find the people ready to co-oper-
ato with him, and to givo all tho information
desired. "While we ore nnxious for the road,

Tlie Minister’s Joke.
Old Dr. Strong, of Hartford, Conn., was
not often outwitted by his people. On one
occasion, ha had invited a young minister to
preach for him, who proved rather a dull
speaker, and whose sermon wa3 unusually
long.? The people became wearied, and as
Dr. Strong Jived near the bridge, near the
commencement of the afternoon service he
saw his people flocking across the river to the
other church. : He readily understood that
they ftared they should have the same young
man in the afternoon. Gathering up his wits,
which generally came at his bidding, he said
to the young minister—
. “My brother across'the river is rather fee
ble, and I know he will take it kindly to have
you preach to his people, and if you will 'do
so, I will give you a note to him, ahd he will
be as much obliged to you as I would to have
you preach the same sermon that you preached
to my people this morning.”
The young minister supposing this to be a
commendation of his sermon, started off in
good spirits, delivered bis note, and was in-
vitedto preach most cordially. He saw before
him on^half of Dr., Strong’s people, and they
bad to listen one hour arid a half to the same
dull, humdrum sermon that they heard in the
-;orning. They understood the joke, however!
id said they would never undertake to run
away from Strong again.

IVImt Bnllocltks Clerks Cost Com
pared with IJrovm’s and Jenkins’.
The Constitution has been poking its nose
into a good many nooks and crannies in Atlanta
where it had no business, and is almost daily
blabbing about what it saw and heard. Its last
gossip is about a little matter of Executive clerk
hire, concerning which it draws a most odiou3
comparison between what Bullock has spent,
and what was spent by Governors Brown and
Jenkins. • From July, 1S68, to May 18, 1870,
Bollock spent, for regular Executive clerk hire,
$17,873 90, for two Secretaries $6,000, arid for
“extras” $7,050 09, making a total of $31,423 99,
For tho years 18CC trad 1867 Gov. Jenkins spent
for the same purpose $9,463 50, and in 1859 and
I860, Gov. Brown spent $8,575, showing a dif
ference between Brown and Bollock of $22,848,-
99, and between Jenkins and Bullock of $21,-
961 49,
The Constitution concludes its gossip thus :
But it may be alleged that there ia more to do
now in the Executive office than then. On the
contrary there is a fourth less to do. Under the
old regime over 5,000 militia officers and 660
Justices of the Inferior Court had to be commis
sioned. Governor Bullock has been exempt
from his duty. Election returns were formally
made to the Executive office, where the pack
ages were opened, votes counted, etc. This has
been transferred to the office of Secretary of
State.
We therefore find that with a third less to do
in tho Ezecutive office, Governor Bullock has
paid out four times as mnoh for doing it as
Governors Jenkins and Brown.
We learn that the Governor is indisposed.
We therefore omit any painful reference to the
$25,oOO suit.
Oaring Attempt to
“Presbyterian Re-Union.”
Editors Telegraph db Messenger : In your
editorial of June 1st, under the above caption,
your judgment of the recent action of the
Southern General Assembly, relative to the ad
vances made to it by the Northern, appears to
the present writer to be based on a misappre
hension of the facts.
The Northern Assembly requested a commit
tee of Conference for two distinct purposes, to
wit: “To effect a settlement of questions at
issue between the two churches relative to prop
erty jurisdiction, etc,, without appeal to the
oivil courtsand “to open the way for friend
ly official relations and correspondence between
the churches.”
The first of these the Southern Assembly
-frankly and gladly accepts; and appoints the
committee untrammelled by restrictions. But
to the seoond it replies, that there are certain
preliminary matters which must be fully settled,
before each friendly relations can be anything .
but a dishonest and unworthy pretenoe. These Henry Bayne, a notorious villain and <j es M
matters grew out of the relations and official negro, got out-end ran down the at&i ^ *

Prteonew Shot and Km*, '
On Sunday night last, about 10 0 ’clJv
egro men confined in the City Guard°l' *
made a bold and daring attempt to ev^
overpowering Mr. O. P. Finney, the kT’ kj
and his assistant, Mr. Blanton Nance t ^
two gentlemen were on their usual ■ '
round in the prison, to see that all wes *
safely, end they entered a cell in *hich°
groea were confined for various crimes *ri

had separated somewhat, in the cell th

acts of the two churches at and unoe their
separation, or daring the period from 18GL to
1867 inclusive ; and our Assembly, in the paper
adopted, stated fully and fairly what they are.
The position taken amounts to this, that there
must be a real agreement in the questions at
issue, before there can be any honest and con
sistent profession of agreement. Our Assembly
says, in effeot, to the Northern : Yon have, by
solemn, official, recorded act-, charged cs with
certain grievous Bins, from wifich you have re
quired mat we purge ourselves by repentanoe
and confession, before yon can receive us to
fellowship. How about this? Do you still
hold these charges true? If so, then, as we
have neither repented nor confessed, you ought
not to be willing to hold fellowship with us.—
Are you now convinced that they were false, or
mistaken? Then justice to yourselves and ns
requires you to retract them as solemnly and
officially as they were made, before we establish
relations of fellowship. And bo as to all other
matters growing ont of your action toward us.
Again, we have charged you with defection
Advices from South Carolina indicate that B.

from some of the essential principles of the
Scriptural and Presbyterian system. How about
this? Show ns that we were mistaken, and we
will retract; or show us that yon have returned
to the trntb, and we will declare that these
charges no longer apply to yon. Let all these
questions in dispute be fairly and frankly set
tled ; and then the way will be open to friendly
relations and correspondence, and to anything
else which, in God’s providence, may grow ont
of it. But with these mutual accusations still
extant, and unmodified in their matter or appli
oation, the institution of mere outwardly friend
ly relations will be a hypocritical pretense,
blot on the name of religion, and on the fair
fame of both parties, whether as Christians or
honest men.
Now how does the Northern Assembly pro
pose to meet all this ? Simply by providing that
no past act of either of the two churches now
composing it, shall be of binding legal effect,
unless reaffirmed by the Assembly of the united
church. But this leaves the moral significance
and effect of these acts in fall force, and the
delegates of the Northern Assembly to onrs, are
careful to warn us that we must not expect any
repeal or modification of them. Beyond this,
leaving them as a legal dead letter.
This is the real state of the case between the
two Assemblies; and you say that the actiou of
our Assembly was neither “graceful,” “wise,"
nor “decided.” As to its grace, that is a mat
ter of taste; as to its wisdom, tjme must show;
but as-to its prompt decisiveness, I think, when
properly understood, thers can be no dispute.
The bull is firmly seized by his horns, the lion
by his beard, and with a grasp he will find it
hard to unloose; and the overwhelming major
ity by which the action was taken (80 to 17)
lends an additional element of decisiveness,
which the Northern church and our own will not
fail to appreciate. In brief, I see not how the
two Assemblies could take the coarse proposed
by the Northern, without branding themselves
as unjust and slanderous in the past, or hypo
crites ia tho present; and however the world or
the Northern church may regard the action -of
onr Assembly, the Southern will probably as one
man, hail it with the acclamation, well done,
good and faithful servants. Presbyter.
The Infallibility Uoguia—Tlio Scheme
and its Discussion
A correspondent ui wo xnjvnroiK Tribune
furnishes what is alleged to be the text of the
infallibility scheme now reported to be occu
pying the attention of the Vatican Council in
Rome. The p»per is as follows:
1. _ If my one shall say that the JSpiscopal
Chair ol the Homan Church i3 not the very
truo and infallible chair of the blessed Peter,
or that it has not been divinely chosen by God
as the most solid, enduring and incorruptible
rock of the whole Christian Church—let him
be athema.
2. If any one shall say that there exists on
earth, distinct and separate from the chair of
the blessed Peter, any other infallible chair of
the truth of the Gospel of Clnist the Lord—
let him be anthema.
3. If any one shall deny that the Divine
supremacy of the chair of the blessed Peter is
to all men, whether unbelievers or believers,
whether laymen or bishops, necessary as the
true road to eternal salvation—let him he an
thema.
4. If any one shall say that each and all of
the Roman Pontiffs, legitimately elected, are
not, jure divino successors of the Blessed
Peter, in the gift also of magisterial infallibil-
ty, and shall deny to any one of them the pre
rogative of infallibility to teach the Church
the Word of God, pure from all corruption and
error—let him be anthema.
5. If auy one shall say that GSeuraenical
Councils are a power placed by God in the
Church for feeding the divine flock on the
Word of God superior to the Roman pontiff,
or equal to him, or necessary by Divine insti
tution, to the completion of the infallible mag
istracy of the bishop of Rome—let him be
anathema.
A cable, dispatch asserts that the discussion
upon the infallibility dogma is now being car
ried on with considerable warmth| and tho
argument, it is thought, wiil not be terminated
before the latter part of July: The following
purports to be a sketch of the debate on Mon
day :
“The opposition first obtained the floor,
and the bishops of St. Brienco and St. Gall
spoko against infallibility. Bishop Cefelc, of
Roethenburg, made an energetic appeal, de
claring that three successive (Ecumenical Coun
cils had anathematized Pope Honorius. de
nouncing him as a heretic." Prince Cardinal
Schwartzenburg referred in language of con
tempt to the excuses of partizans ofthe dogma
in their endeavors to explain away the truth
and justice of the arguments against Pope
Honorius’s affirmation that infallibility was
most inopportune, because such arguments
were false and ill-founded. He quoted from
the works of eminent theologians, adducing
authority to prove that Popes could be de
posed for heresy. Cardinal Von Rauscher,
through a deputy, entered a strong protest in
behalt of society and the interests of civil gov
ernment against any'proceedings prejudicial to
the cause of freedom of thought and action.
The tenor of the document was blended with
expressions of devotion to the Holy See.
