The news of the riot spread like wildfire. The
fire alarm bells were rung, and hundreds Of the

ARREST on \ CHARGE or FAEsoS-.2storndiRg
DcrciopnleR eRt.-Thc Albany Transcript, notic-
ing the arrest of man named Davis, in New
\ 1ork city, charge of arson, says: ssFrom
developments made to us, it is pretty certain
that he is the leader of regularly organized
band, who go about the country obtaining in
surances on property claimed as theirs, which
they destroy, and then obtain the insurance.
Three cases of arson in this city, three in Rem
selaer county, and quite number of others in
New York city and elsewhere, have been trac-
ed to this party. Their plan of operations, eXhi-
bits. great cunning and knavery. Davis has, it
is asserted, caused buildings to be erected and
nearly completed, when, after obtaining insu-
rance for furniture, which he said was in the
building, but which was not, obtained heavy
insurance on it, and then destroyed the build
ing and afterwards obtained the full amount he
was insured for. Two others, named Dobson and
Thompson, are implicated with him in his ne
tarious operations. Dobson was arrested in n.
York, one day last week, or a charge of arson
in that city. Many Others serious charges are
laid at the door of this band, but we are not
at liberty to divulge them at present.

The CATHOLIC Couscn AT RoAE.-The Ami

The CATHoLI CoUNcL AT RoaE.-The Ami
de la Religion, (Paris,) of Oct. 10, says:
The Catholic world is at present occupied
with an event which is about to be accomplish
ed at Rome. Bishops are proceeding from all
parts of the earth towards the Eternal City
From France, II. +, the Cardinal Geusset has
already left for Rome, and has taken the way
of Switzerland. The Bishop of Mans has ar
rived in Paris, on his way to the Holy City,
and is to leave in the course of the week. The
Cardinal Archbishop of Mechlin has arrived
in Paris. Several Irish Catholic prelatcs, and
among them the Archbshops of Armagh and
Dublin, are also at present in Paris, and on
their way for Rome. Ireland is the only Cath
olic country in the world from which more
than two prelates have been invited by name.
But we Learn from Rome that a great number
of bishops are expected, and that the presence
of other prelates than those officially invited
will be seen with pleasure. All the bishops
will take part, according to their rank, in the
projected grand general assembly. The
sembly will be preceded by private meetings,
composed. we are told, solely of the prelates
specially invited.

OK .IiIt:nERIAw. !.

Ovestet A. BrownSon, the sthundercr' OF the
Catholic Press, recently delivered an address
| in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on ssHigher Law .
He said that while he believed in ..Higher
Law" he did not believe in the right of pri-
uaie judgment, but that ..THE CHURCH. must
decide whether not given enactment was
contrary to the rule of God. The Milwaukee
Free Democrat saws -
s'After claiming that the religious element
is necessary to the preservation of Indvidu-
ality; that without it Authority would become
dcspotic, he turns round and demands that In
dviduality and Authority shall both bow the
knee and be subject to the Moral p over: that the
Church, which is an association of part of the
same individuals who compose the State shall
be Acknowledged superior to both.''
Commenting on this. the Pittsburg Dispatch
SAYS: We can't bring ourselves to imagine that
Browson believes what he says. But being,
nominally, a Catholic, he is just disingenuous
and hypocritcal enough to subordinate his
true opnions-opinions taught by sense and
humanity to every true man-tO a contempti-
BILE bug-bear called the infallibility of the
Church. Now. look in what position he pla-
ces himself. Feeling, in his inmOst heart, as
every honest, thinking man feels, that the Fu-
gitive Slave Law is wrong enactment, and
consequently not commanding his obedience.
hc aDhegateS HIS TiSht 10 JuuSe OF lt niinSeH,
and virtually says, notwithstanding my utter
hatred of this statue, notwithstanding believe
it to be contrary to the truth and the right. yet
if Mother Church authoritively sanctions it as
proper, wise and just measure, am bound to
believe it to be such and obey its every prOvi-
sion to the letter. Brownson says all this
because he wishes to be esteemed good Cath
Olic; but we doubt whether, if the church did
endorse the Fugitive Law, his piety and devo-
tion would outweigh his innate sense of right,
and so far scar his better nature as TO make a
first rate slave-catcher out of him.
But there thousands of Catholics who
would do this, and even worse, if SO hidden by
the priests. Take away the right of private
judgment and you make a tyranny. Constitute
the Catholic church the chooser of mems opin-
ions. and you make bloody oligarchy that
would destroy all that is good in society.

HORRIBLE AFFAIR IN PHILADELPHIA.-Aw wo-
nlan is under arrest in Philadelphia, charged
with nfanticide, having killed several of her
children at the time of their birth. 1t seems
that the mother of the slaughtered children,
whose name is Pamela Snyder, has lived for a
number of years in the neighborhood of Rising
Sun Village, in the Twerty-tfird Ward. She
was in the habit of performing domestic Ia
bors for families in the vicinity, and tor num-
Der of years has been known by the neighbors
to lead a very disolute life. She was known
to have given birth to several children, but
they generally disappeared mysteriously, and
rumors were rife that they had been fouly
dealt with. She has confessed TO the Mayor
to having, iii succession, killed five of her
children as soon as born, two by one father
and three by another. The last child was
born five days since, and was made away with
like the others by being thrown into the sink.
The first information OF this horrible disclo-
sure was given to the Mayor by an anony-
nous letter. The affair happened at Nice
town, in the upper part ofthe city.

Bible Burning.

The recent case of Bible burning by Roman
Catholics, at Cumminsville. Ohio, which has
been generally reported in the papers, is thus
commented upon by a Cincinnati paper:
There is at our office Bible which reminds
us of the dark ages, not because of antiquity
not because it has been copied laboriously with
the pen. all books were n few centuries ago.
Not because il is bound in boards and has
iron chain to it, like that which Luther found
at Erfurth. No, it is one of the latest issues of
the American Bible Society. But it is mutt
lated and partly burned by Romish bigots, who
hate the truth as did the prosecutors of the
past; yea, they hate and fear Gods Word in
the living language of the people. The Bible
agents had scattered this precious Word all
over our country. The priests of ignorance
and despotiSm were alarmed. They knew that
If the Bible went shining through the land their
system would vanish like avapor. Hence they
instigated some of their most bigotcd bond
men to burn the book. At Cumminsville only
three miles from our city, the deed was done.''
4 package of these Bibles. clarred by the
flames. was recently returned to the American
Bible Society, suggestive testimony of the
hatred of Rome to the reading OF the w ord of
God by the people. And yet American citizens
who raise their voices in condemnation of these
Romish outragcs, and band together to protect
their Bibles, and their religion and their liber-
ties, against the inSi&uOuS assaults of the oath
bound subjects of the Pope of Rome, de-
nounced by native political dcmagogues as
s'fanitcs,'' and ..knavcs and traitors,'' and
''midnight assassins.'' 1t is time foI Ameri-
can people to wake up, for the mnions of the
Pope, who publicly burn our Bibles, would, if
they had the power. as publicly burn every
Protestant in the land, or, in the language of
their own journals, chang Protestants higher
than any stecpie. .'-PHtsburg Dispatch.

SALE OF THE PUBLIC WoRKs.-The Demo
cratic Union, in noticing our anxiety TO have
early and efficient Legislation for the sale of the
Public Works, expresses itself willing to aid
in the good work of accomplishing that object.
1t says: ave believe the Public Works should
be sold. Judge Pollock, in one of his cleo
tioneering speeches, went SO far as to say if
they could not be sold they should be given
away. This was going the length ofthe tether,
and now that he is Governor, and his party
claim a majority in the Legislature, we shall
see what they will do. But, whether the works
be sold or retained, trust that the very
first act of the Legislature will be the aboli-
tion of the Canal Board. Under their man
agement there will always be extravaganza and
corruption, and we look forward with hope 1--WE
would like to say contidence) to the action of
the next Legislature. Let the Canal Board be
abolished. and the Public Works sold at a
fairprice.'

Gov. POLLOCK FOR PREsIDEST.-The Union
County Star runs up the flag of James Pollock
for President, and Hon. John Bell, of Tennes-
see, for Vice President, in 1856. The Star is
of the opinion that 'the character and posi-
ton of this distinguished man point him out,
as, above all others, the man for the next Pres
idency. He has been raised tothe position he
now holds by the voice of the people, regard
less of party ties and trammels, and is there
fore their choice for any post; and the claims
ofPennsyivania to have the honors of the chief
magistracy of this nation placed upon one of
her sons, are good and of long standing, and
may not be lightly regarded
