The CERrrYIgp CHEcKs.-The fraud perpetrated
by the late Teller Of the Merchants Bank under
the circumstances which we correctly stated yester
day. has caused some discussion with regard 10 the
nature Of such certified checks as were used by

The subsequent history Of the certified check
cashed by the Grocers' Bank Is thus stated in the

Teller Of that bank The depositor requested the
Teller Of the Grocers Bank 10 give him credit

and the balance In bills
This request was complied with, the credit ticket
and bills we're taken 10 the Merchants Bank, and
the ticket was charged by them to the Grocers
Bank. The bills were also retained to the debt Of
the Grocers' Bank. The $4,000 certified check

Bank in the usual course Of daily settlements and
after being detained some half an hour, was re.

however, made claim upon the Grocers' Bank for

bishop Hughes, immediately on his return to New
York from his visit 10 Rome, addressed a letter
TO the Freemsn's Journal, in opposition TO the
Church Property bill now pending in the New York
Legislature. This bin the Archbishop regards as
an snti-Cstholic enactment and is Of the opinion
that cit would impose such intricate, Onerous, and
sometimes odious duties on the officers who should
be appointed to see It executed that unless ample
fees we're provided, they would become Disguised
with It's requirements"
He also reviews the petition Of the Trustees Of
Sc. Louis Catholic Church Of Buffalo, which he
stigmatizes as strange tumble Of fact and 6c-

but the Church Property bill win pass, aeverthe-
