Mr. Bendann • pnoh graphed the second plenary council b- l«l in Baltimore in 1800. Tho usual morningseskion of the bishops was he’d m St. Mary's Seminary yesterday morning. It was linger than usual, and a great deal of work was done. In the after- a general congregation was held In the cathedral, at which a number of theo logians expressed their views on the sub jects under discussion. Now that many of the committees hive finished the woik before them, and there are consequently not so many meetings of tho committees, the council will Lereafter meet la general congregation three times a week, viz., on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday after noons. Instead of only twice, as formerly. Then on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday meetings of the bishops will be held Jn the'afternoon as well as la the morn'ne, as previously. All the mem bers are very punctual in their attendance on the sessions of the council, and the work has gone oa so steadily that it is thought the oounoil will have finished its labor by 8and»y week. There are a great many strong temperance men in the coun cil, and the question of temperance will nndoubtedly be brought up in It for dis cussion. The admission to the sermon and fM-rvices at the Cathedral on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Suudav evenings is not by card, everybody being free to enter. Last evening, In the cathedral, Bishop O’Farrell, of Trenton, preached a powerful sermon on • Christian Marriage," in which he said: “Daring the past week you list ened to some admirable discourses upon the Christian church, her constitution, her mission and her characeristio marks. You also heari a most eloquent lecture on Christian education, its nroessity, its ex tent and its advantages. But there is an other great truth underlying them both. All Cbristain society, the whole edifice of Christian civilisation, rests upon it. There is no Christian society without the Chris tian family, and no Christ ian family without Christian mar riage. When we cast our eves around and sew the many evils that afflict onr modern society, family ties loosened and family honor so frequently strained, parental authority losing its force and treated with disrespect, filial obedience comUutly declining, domestio quarrels and disoords so often darkening our social life, the s«cred obligations of wife and mother cast aside in *o many Instances as too irksome to be borne, shameful crimes and horrible excesses, that should uot even be mentioned among Christians, so well known and in some places so com mon—the very laws of natare wantonly aud nnblushingly tram pled under foot. When we see theso, and many other evils, we naturally ask, what can have given rise to them, aud whence do they spring. If we mako the examination seriously, we will find that for the greater pari they arise from Ignorance or contempt of the true nature of Christian marriage or violation Of its laws. Through false teaching and the.lawless tyranny of unre trained pas sions, many have lost the true notion of tho instilntion of marriage, such as God * * * imbed. *' | A full h grant rful Inc violabiiity whon werecsive it. and ever af- t< r, by Christian lives, manifest to all the true, blessed fruits of Christian marriage." WHAT BARNUM HAS roUNOOUT. He Now Understands Cleveland's Elec tion Is a Victory for a Protective Tariff. Bridgeport Dispatch to New York 8un. P. T. Bamum said to-day, concerning his recent offer to sell his property in this city at one-quarter less than its value in case of Cleveland's election: “I believe if free trade-was adopted in this country the real estate of Bridgeport would depreciate at least twenty-five per cent. I so much feared that if the Demo crats succeeded they would establish free trade that 1 pledged myself in that event t> sell all I possess here for one-quarter less than my agent’s present prices. Of course, I did not propose to peddle out a lot here aud a house there, but I would sell in a lump, Men of money In Bridge- “i »rt have proposed forming a syndicate to tuy me out. I always intend to do as I agree, and am therefore ready, but not anxious, to do so in this case. Although.' for reasons I will give yon, all danger of introducing the pernicious free trade sys tem in this country has passed away, probably forever, my offer remains open until Christmas. It is clear now that Mr. Cleveland'* election was brought abnlt by influences that expressly disclaimed tne free trade part of the Democrado platform. Witness the business men's Democratic procession iu New York, in which were many ban ners reading ‘No Free Trade’ and ‘Protec tion to American Industry.' Witness also the election to Congress by the Democrats ot such men as Pulitzer, Merriman and others, who are pronounced protectionists. We have also the fact that Mr. Cleveland was elected by a very small plurality, that the United States Senate is Republican and a majority of the House of Repre sentatives are protectionists and would not pass a free trade Dili. Although Mr. Cleveland is elected it is a substantial tri umph for the policy of protection.” The New South. N. Y. Sun.

Divorce is, (hen, simply h legal ized prostitution, and marriage itself no belter than a temporary cohabi tation, stigmatized as a very foul crime lu all Christian lands.” The Bishop then dwelt on tho evils of di vorce in preventing the proper education of children, and continuing, said: “I have said enough, I trust, to convince you of the many evil consequences which neces sarily flow front divorce; yet I have not enumerated more than a part. When men break down the barriers which God himself has raised up to curb the passions, no ouecsu adtquately foresee the fearful havoc and wide-spread ruin produced when the full torrent of these passions find an outlet for their fury. Let us then, dear brethren, firmly hold that it is God’s ordinance from the beginning of the world, and that this is the law of Jesus Christ, the legislator of the new covenant. For ns Catholics there can be no hesitation. It is the doctrine of tho church. No matter, then, what human enactments may be framed, no matter what laws of divorce may be published, no matter bow few or how many, whether oue or twenty causes for divorce be admit ted in the government of our States, our duty is plain; we cannot except them or profit by them to break a lawful marriage sanctioned by the church of God. Our du*y is to honor ourselves in this great sacra ment, and to teach others to prize it by our words and examples.

The Bkhop spoke of the degraded condition of woman, the demoralization of the home circle, etc., when the Christian church began its mission; how the Church gave the wife an as sured position, made her the guar dian angel of the home, and helpmate and companion of her husband, restored the sacrcdoess of the home circle, and laid the foumint on of a new, regenerated society. Oontinning, he spoke of the struggles of thechu'ch in the middle ages against haughty kings and i owerful emperors to uphold the unity and indissolubility of wife and abandon his second sacrilegious marriage; History tells of the beroio con test of Gregory VII against Henry IV of Germ an v, in defense of a wronged and banished wife.

In England the new church was built upon the broken marriage vows and adulterous passions of a brutal king.

If the Popes bad acted Europe wonld most certainly bave lo<-t Christian civilization, and would bave descended on the level of tho barbarous nations of Asia-degraded aud demoraliz ed by the practice of polygamy.” Then, speaking of the divorces of the present day, the Bishop said; “Divorce destroys the unity of murriscoand virtually intro duces polygamy. The people of this ereat country, whoso ins ir.cis are gener ally Christian, hold in detestation the doctrines of Mormonism and consid er them a curse to the nation. Yet in what docs Mormonism differ from the system of divorce? Mormonism allows men to have several wives at the same time, while divorce allow* them one after the other. It is just as much opposed to thereat ends of marriage,to the mutual love of the married couple and the proper education of chlldren.andit is much more adapted to gratify the basest passions • ns it offers a g>‘eater freedom from the em barrassments of theopen polygamy. With whatever disgust, then, we view the shame ful doctrines of Mormonism, with even greater dislike should we treat the ques tion of divorce. When married perrons know that they are united for good or ill until death they will naturally cultivate mutual love and mutual forbearance. Di vorce leads to the worst evUs, For if a married person know that by per sonal quarrels or by crimes the marriage can be broken, what an Inducement to foster dimension or to fall into foul sin. Nay, even snares and pitfalls arc thus often piepared by one of the parties to entrap a pretext for j tho dissolution of (he incuts of which that organization Is main ly composed have no vital principle to hold them together in the obsenco of a controlling political power and the use of patronage While officeholders, chiefly aliens in the community where they dwed, and the ne groes make up the bulk of the party. The former run the machine, and the latter furnish thereto*. The reconstruction pol icy consolidated the intelligence, the sub stance and the moral worth of the South against thorn violent measures. The po litical situation has not materially changed since they were passed, although the bit ter resentment which grew out of this un wise policy has been subdued by the heal ing influences of time and of association. The negro has cost the Republican party dearly. Infatuated by the idea that he could be made a potent factor in preserv ing power indefinitely, the suffrage was given to the black man without any pre vious preparation for that privilege. 8ome of the ablest Republican leaders, who bad denied the wisdom and the fitness of this grant, accepted it from political necessity, white others wanted to humiliate still more the crushed South by patting the former slaves on top to rule over their late mas ters.

They would not listen to reason, and the Southern States were increased in the electoral colUges to the extent ot the additional negro vote. In other words, the Republicans did for the South what the South could never have possibly done for itself under the old constitution. They augmented lta power immensely. In I860 the Southern States cast one hundred and twenty electoral votes. In 1834 they cast one hundred and flity-three electoral votes, and they bave defeated the party that strengthened them aud forced them to be solid at three suc cessive Presidential elections. it may he confidently assumed that the Republican officeholders in the South, with rare exceptions, will be dismissed prompt] v by Mr. Cleveland.

The blacki have only limited capacity for or ganisation, and they will drift with the tide until a new condition arises. This probable chargo will soon operate on the whites, who can no longer be kept |compacted when the cause that compelled lunity has dieappeared. There are rival factions, discordant Interests, and atrong jealousies in all the Southern States, which have been held in check solely by a com mon cause, cherished as superior to all personal or local considerations. There are radical difference of opinion on tho protective policy, in which the popnlatlon along the mountain chain from Maryland to Alabama is deeply interested. So It is nn other localities. ■ These oppoaing vtewa are egjrcf slve and [must come to the front, from toe reason of having been long restrained in the rear.

The Republi cans who were in d.e pair over the defeat of Mr. Blaine are now picking up etray bits of comfort in the thought that an en tire change of administration will contain many happy features in the way of dis placement ol a great number of humbug*, ancient todies and the petty despots of official life who appeared to have an Inde finite hold op on the public crib. Etentbc moat partisan of Repnhilcant find conso lation in the thought that ail of the bar nacles muit go. Probably there is do man in the servlco who will be more cheerfully misted than Judge Ltwrenos, the First Controller of the Treasury. The Judge hat built up for himself an unique potitlon. He has been slowlv but surely reaching out for new privileges until he has ri.-en to a height where he acknowledges no superior. Thu Secretary of the Treasury himself it only a humble subordinate ot the supernatu- rally gifted The President himself is re- rely tolerated b the Judge. Hesurely couia mo mnuuuoein the slight est degree any of the operations of the mind of the haughty Judge. He baa al most unlimited power in auditiug all of the government account*, and he ha* used this power io despotically as to become a perfect terror to every official with an ac count against the government. Although constantly ruling npon merely routin K ints of government bnslncis. he hat ten aa mnch pains with hla decisions as il he were a member of the Supreme Court. For the first time in the history of his office, he has had these verbose de cisions printed. He hounded the printing committee* of Congress until they agreed to give him money to have his decisions printed In the same style as the Supreme Court'* reports. Ho lies caused the gov ernment to expend more money In this directlon|tban be bss ever raved it by pay ing accounts. It is the Judge’* ambition to nave bts reports recognized as author!- ties in the regular court*. He holds that he occupies a position of co-ordinate ju- 'rlsdlctio i with the Supreme Court ot the United Stales. He is classed among law yers as a legal crank. He le the eame old gentleman who, when be was in Congress, was made chairman of a special com mittee to Investigate the proionnd subject of sheep ralaing and propagation. ” caused a steel portrait of himself to placed in the front part of hts report. The witty Lamison, of Ohio, in commenting upon this report in the Hcuse oue day, made a great laugh by laying that he sup posed that the p.,rtralt was that of one of the blood rams so eloquently described iu the pages of the report This gave the Judge The title of 8h Ram Lawrence, a ti tle which he will never lose as loDg as ha lives. Another barnacle who can well be spar ed ia Dr. Loring, the Commissioner of Ag riculture. This department Is a great bambng, and it has always been presided over by hnmbugr. Dr. Loring was a drug gist in Lynn, Mass, before accident gave him one term in Coogress. There never waa a man in Washington more mid npon the subject of official place than be. He has persistently tried to get his present office made a Cabinet one. He is one of jo most cringing of toadies in fawning E on those in power. He spends fully : months in the year away from Wash ington in delivering addresses belore agri cultural fairs. It ia ^probable that the funds of Agricultural Department pay for these lecturing flips. They are altogether too numerous and extended for the man who baa a horse and carriage at the gov- ernment’e expense. The Doctor has set up for a very superior article ot the Amer ican gentry. He haa a moderate fortune left mm by the death of hi* first wife. The fortune ia too modest, however, sustain the Doctor's lofty social aspiration*. He and his family prefer the foreign eociety of Washington, and are never io happy when they are in tho company of i humblest members of the diplomatic corps. The Doctor is the author of a small pamphlet which waa originally B rented in the North American liecieui, ta iled ‘ Have Wo a Patiiclnt) Element Among Us?” Thh elfiirt lias been greatly admired in the would be high social circle* of Washington. Another Darnacle who can be spared without grief is Chief Clerk Brown, of the State Department. The average chief clerk of a department is the most impor tant man in it. The secretary or head ol the department is always a modest, incon sequential figure bestiie his chief clerk. Brown is the most important ot all the chief clerks in Washington His insolence has made him the terror at the few feeble minded individuals who have had the temerity to go the State De partment for information. Jn every in vestigation of any of the officials of this department be baa invariably been npon the side of the Investigated, without any regard to th* character 'of th* charges preferred. He was the main obstacle in the pathway of convicting Minister Stew ard. He has been in the department for so many years that he lies come to regard it aa his personal property. Indeed, this is only too common a view taken, by many of tho moss backed officials. They have conducted the departments aa close cor- ratlons. Information of any kind has .en contraband. The public naa always been classed aa an enemy. Those who have had any business with the depart ments will bear with great philosophy the profpept of any change. A Disgusted Horseman.
