INSANE MAN.-Last Sunday evening
John Wiley, an insane man, was taken
from the streets and confined in the Gala
booss. He came to this place last April,
and worked for John France and others
during the summer, and was a steady,
industrious young man. Some week or
so ago he started for Iowa, and had con-
siderable money with him. In few
days he returned, having lost his money,
clothing and pair of boots. One OF
his eyes was blood shot and swollen, and
he was no doubt set upon and robbed in
Iowa. He is borther to Mrs. w. A.
Robertson, of this city, is only about
twenty years of age, and is native OF
AshtabUla, Ohio, to which place Mr..
Robertson started with him last Tuesday
night. He has considerable property in
Ohio, willed to him when he becomes OF
age. While confined in the calaboose
he played smash with the windows, win
dow frames, bed and bedmg, which it
will cost the city considerable to re-

A ISLANDER RErErED.-Tne Demo
cratic papers of the country have been
busily engaged in circulating a story to
the effect that General Rosecrans, while
in command in the Army of the Kanawha,
made personal attack upon General
Hayes because the latter was neglectful
of the welfare of his men. The story
was of course a lie, but the Democratic
papers circulated it briskly, and some OF
their readers believed it too. General
Comfy, of the Ohio State Journal, how
ever, took the trouble to write to Gen
eral Rosecrans concerning it, and not
only has he replied in an emphatic denial,
but pays a very emphatic tribute to the
fidelity and ability of General Hays as a
soldier.

Two letters have recently been
published, which will create n profound
sensation in the religious world. They
are those of Plus TX to the Rev. Dr.
Cummings, refusing recognition of non
Catholics in the approaching Ecumenioal
Council, aud Father Hyacinthe, renounc-
ing his conventual order, declining to
preach hereafter in the historic Church
of Notre Dame, and protesting against
the doctrines and practices OF the Romish
Church. The Pope's letter must be con-
elusive to High Churchmen in England
and America that approximation to the
Catholic Church in ritualism alone does
not relieve them OF heterodoxy, and that,
if they desire recognition at Rome, they
must put themselves in full communion
with il, and subordinate themselves TO
its ecclesiastic control.

CORRUPTION IN UNEXPECTED QUAR-
TERs.-The virus of fraud seems to have
been making unnoticcd progress in other
walks than politics and ordinary business.
1t is only recently that we were informed
that somebody" in authority over the
property Of Brown University, r.. l.,
had embczzlcd nine hundred and fifty
thousand dollars out of the million, to
which the Congressional land grant
amount. The Independent a short time
ago advcrted to certain remarkably sus-
picious doings of the Boston Tract So
ciety Now we have the statement,
though we sec it is vehcmOntly denied,
that there has been developed regular
system Of corruption and fraud Of nine
years standing, in the Methodist "Book
Concern" reputcd to be the largest pub
fishing house not only in the United
States, but in the world. DIR. Lanahan,
tho new Agent of the establishment,
claims to have discovered and is now
thoroughly investigating this painful
case, in which the detalcations arc said to
amounts to several hundred thousand
dollars. This spread Of corruption into
the high places of religion and morality
is feature of tho times on which wa do
not like to dwell. Let us hope it is not
the result OF general lowering of the
moral tone of our people, but merely an
exposure Of that inevitable proportion
Of human scoundrelism which deliber-
ately seeks to make the Church cloak
for its neiarious operations.

1t seems clear to us, says the Tribune,
that Mr.. Pendleton must be pretty hard
up when it is deemed necessary to put
Mr.. Lew Campbell on the stump in his
defense. Lewis made his appearance at
Hamilton on the goth inst, in the Court
House yard, and appears to have had
rather hard time of it.. His affection
for Pendleton is not profound, but he
then and there boltcd the bitter pill with
as few grimaocs as might be. But then
there were Dutchmen of remarkably
strong memories present, who began to
question Campbell about certain X. N.
speech of his made i'll Washington in
1856, which has recently been translated
into German and widely circulated.
Campbell pretended to read the speech,
but "llans" had read it before him. lie
was sharply reminded of the passages
which he omitted; and altogether he
had a discouraging time.

The Democrats of New York arc so
sure that Pendlcton's theories will not
carry the Fall elections that they have
gone as near rejecting them rs they
could without splitting in their own
faces. Now, asks the Tribune, are the
Republicans Of Ohio prepared to be
more foolish than the Democrat of New
York by voting for financial ruin anil
National dishonor, voting for policy
which will make it almost impossible for
us in any future emergency to borrow a
single dollar or equip a single army?
