There has recently been thorough purgation In
the subordinate places in the Custom House. On
the first of the present month, eleven removals
were made from the night watch, and yesterday 26
laborers were discharged from the public store,

these removals are intended TO reduce the force

the removals on Saturday were some of the most
faithful and efficient laboring men in the depart

mystery to their friends. 8 a}k t.s II
1t Is said that the men removed are all known to
have expressed themselves in favor of James Blu

been removed on that account 81 Fa

THE IRrsH coSvENrIos--BrsHoP rIMoN CELEBRATES
HIGH MASS OVER IT. HaHog
The last number of the Catholic Sentinel, in
speaking Of the Irish convention takes pains to in
form the public that the Right Rev. Father in God,
Bishop Timon, had promised to give il his bene-
diction. As the press is excluded we copy the
following from the organ Of the Bishop:
It would not be fair for US to judge the con-
vention until its actions be brought to light when
We hope to have the pleasure of publishing docu-
mentary evidence, that friendship talent, generos-
ity, liberality, and patriotism marked all its pro-
ceedings. The Right Rev. Bishop Timon has con-
sented, through Rev. Mr.. Moore with whom
communication was held on the subject to have
High Mass celebrated on "Wednesday, 18th inst,
in order to hppore the Giver of all good gifts TO
diffuse His grace over the proceedings OF the con
vention. This Is a pious thought, and It speaks
well for the prime movers Of the reunion"
Oh yes, says the New York Express, 1t Is "a
pious thought no doubt, for Right Reverend
prelate (who was over TO Rome last year, getting
instructions from the Pope) 70 be engineering a
Presidential campaign against the wicked Know
Nothings. all under cover Of immigration to Can
ada" About as "pious," we dare say, as that
other thought the same worthy preste had two
or three years ago, when, we all remember he
tried TO wbeedle the laity Of the Church Of st.
Louis out Of their temporalties, by bringing over
the Pope's Nuncio here TO scare them with bull
Of accommodation. His Reverence did not sue
ceed then. We don't think he Is going TO have
better luck now. 81 9e4.
