CLEVELAND, December 10.—The Press this afternoon says a decree was adopted at the late plenary council at Baltimore that hereafter a new mode of electing bishops will be in force. Here tofore a bishop of a diocese had full power to remove a priest from a parish aod « priest had uo voice whatever in selecting a candidate for the bishopric. Hereafter each bishop wi!l appoint a court of consultors, composed of six priests of his diocese. This court will be irremovable. They will have power to try cases with the bishop and each member will hold office for life. Ten per cent ofthe priests of the diocese designated by the bishop will be made rectors and their pastorate shall be irre- movable. After being selected a bishop will be powerless to remove them exe cept lor cause, after trial. In the se- lection of consultors the bishop may choose from among rectors or may ap- point other priests. The new mode of electing a bishop will be as fullows:—On the demise of that dignitary rectors and consultors of the diocese will meet and send three names to Rome. If the THE DATI At St. Charles, | At Marshfield, in 1880, a| |earry a piece of fine Machinery to Brown's ree ee ' move of the names on the prie ts’ lists, | the bishops can forward their objections or make aa entirely different list to send it to Rome.
