Dr. O'Connell- on his arrival Immediately repaired to the archi-eplscopal residence nnd dellveicd thu decrees to the apostolic delegate nnd prcsl- di - nt of the council. Archbishop Glbbonn.- In . reply to questions asked concerning the nature of the decrees, Dr. O'Connell said he had no information concerning them to give. When asked whether the statements pub- lished In sumo pai ers as to their nature were well founded , hu inquired what they were and seemed surprise. ! nt the absurdity ot much which has loiind lt.s way into print in connection with thu work of the late council. He then s'tnled In ngenemlway that there was nothing In the decree ol a radical or of a political nature. Iho Catholic church was mil the follower or sup- porter of any political party or system.

combination and weie made to carry out itspurpose. Thu combination claimed < ! ray t

caveat and all rights thereunder by virtue olhis conveyance to tlm Harmonic Telegraphcompany , ( iray says he did not Intend tconvey It , ns he wa.-j of opinion he had beeroveneaehcd or hud by mistake conveyeiimiiv than ho had intended when thu tt-.uliwas made.-

Jray.

( says after ho had been Informed thathe had been wronged in tlm patent ollicitouching his caveat , either by design In ills-closing his secrets or by remlssness or accldent , and that itwas Ida discovery wit !which I'rof. Hell transmitted speech , seerafter his ( ( ! ruy's ). was nlcdthulmithe said conveyance examined by ins conn-sel. . and was advised that said conveyauct-dhl not cover the caveat , but only eertah-specliic patentri then granted , and which li

was supposed by the purchasers to i elateamong other things , to telephony , amwhich patent * they believed , although milgranted expressly in reference to thac arc ,

yet embraced prine.iples tiiat might bo con-trolling in contc > l < touching It-

.iray.

( says , in conclusion , that he was mis-led by the assumption on the part of sahcompany and its ashlguees that his contraci-coveied said caveat , and that he labored nn-

der this mistake until he had the contract ex-

amlned , as alieady stated. Mr. Young al ilead a letter from himself to ihe counsel olthe Hell company , calling for the produetloiof the contracts alleged to have been madibetween thu Hell company and Kllsha ( Jraythe ( iold and Stock and western Union comiianles , Hlake , Heiliner and others. In hi :

letter Mr. Young explained that he wished ttestablish by llie> ; contracts that the utlegcitelephone Inventions of Hell were in-

valid ; that the JJowd unit winInconclusive , ami was only brougli-to obtain judicial decrees sustainingpatents , nnd that Hell and his assock-cntcicd into an unlavvtul combination to controlail telephone discoveries , in answer liCommissioner Montgomery , Mr. Young ainhe expected counsel lor the licit company tnproduce the papers to-morrow.

teturned to this city this morning after hav-

ing completed his mission. Dr. O'Connell-on his arrival Immediately repaired to thearchi-eplscopal residence nnd dellveicd thudecrees to the apostolic delegate nnd prcsl-

di-

nt of the council. Archbishop Glbbonn.-

In.

reply to questions asked concerning thenature of the decrees, Dr. O'Connell said hehad no information concerning them to give.When asked whether the statements pub-

lished In sumo pai ers as to their nature werewell founded , hu inquired what they wereand seemed surprise. ! nt the absurdity otmuch which has loiind lt.s way into printin connection with thu work of the latecouncil. He then s'tnled In ngenemlwaythat there was nothing In the decreeol a radical or of a political nature. IhoCatholic church was mil the follower or sup-porter of any political party or system. Inndectees dealt with family matters Insldo olthe Catholic church. Their ntliumto pin posewas nicrelv to turther a broa.ler and miniplentiful illir..Mon ot the beiients of Christianity. Concluding his remarks on this subject. Dr. O'ConnelTsuld : "Thew Is nothin-jcon hi i tied within thu decrees which is notwholly within the scope of the purpose 1 havementioned. ' ' Anything mure explicit or cir-cumstantial than thi.s the revetend gentle-man said it would bo Improper lor him tcgive at present.-

It.

will IKS remembered that anticipationswere entertained In MIIIIC quarters that Dr-

.O'Connell.

, on hisrcturn from Koine , wouldb ! able to throw sotim light uponthe vexed question as to whether 01-

not. there would be another Americancardinal , and whether Archbishop Gibbonswould rocclvo that dlirnlty in c.iso anolheilet hat was scut to the United States. Whenquestioned concerning thu eardlnalate , hesaid he knew nothing about il, and hailh.-ard nothing during his slay in Homo to in-

dieatu whether another American pielatcwould receive the honor or not. Dr. O'Con-nell said that when lu- loft Home Pope Leiwas In excellent health. The d tetor seemsto have enjoyed Ills visit to I'm eternal cltv-

scry much , and is well pleased with theresufi-of his mission. Alter completing his win I; inconnection with the decrees , Dr. O'Connullwill return to Homo to assume thu duties olIds position as rector of tlio American col-lego. .
