Trouble in the Church.

New York Commercial Rdvltiser A short time since Bishop McQuaid, of .Rochester, in an address condemned some features of the Irish Land League policy. The Land Leaguers of Rochester and other localities, indignant at the Bishop’s interference in matters outside of the church, bid defiance to his remonstrance, and are up in arms against his assumed dictation. There j.an£,disguising the fact that the Irish and sons of Irishmen in this country are largely in sympathy with the Land Leagueitf'of Ireland. One good thing will come out of the bold defiance of Irishmen against the dictation of the Bishops aud priests in matters outside the church. It will nave the effect of silencing the slabderour fanatics who are continually representing the Irish to be nothing but slaves to their Bishops and priests. Bishop McQuaid might better attend to his legitimate duties. Priests and ministers generally have a muddle when they interfere in poltitcs.
