The Bi.hrp's Attempt TO Remove
Priest IL esi.ttd.

AUBURN, n. Y, Feb 22.-There was
a great excitement in the Catholic
church in this city yesterday morning.
A large number of Catholics assembled
at O'Clock, to resist the action Of Bish
OPP McQuid in removing their old pas
tOr, the Rev. Thomas . Flaherty, who
has labored among them twenty-three
years, and to WON large majority of
the Catholics ofthis city are warmly at
tao led.
Tie PEOPLE, after assembling, resolved
themselves into a meeting, and unani-
mously condemned the action of the
Bishop, and refused to permit him or
his pointee, Rev. Mr.. Kavanagh, to
way to to the altar, and taking the lat
ter by the arm, they led him out of the
church, 1t was feared that violence
would be committed on him, but by the
lnterpositiOn OF Father O'Flaherty, il
was prevented.
After the Bishop and Father Kava
nagh left, the assem- ply unanimously re-
solved to hold another meeting at II o.
clock. AT that hour owe. 1000 Catho-
lies assembled and passed series of r.
solutions declaring their determination
to stand by their old pastor, strongly
condeming the action of the Bishop and
expressing their determination to no
longer submit to the abuses of what they
termed ga che man p.wer,' in the Uni
ted States, but to appeal at once to the
ecclesiastical authorities of the country
and if necessary to Pope Plus TX. Adj
dresses were made by influential Catho-
lies sustaining the resolutions, which,
on vote being taken, were adopted
without dissenting vote. Future
trouble is anticipated, as. the meeting re-
solved that the new pastor should not be
permitted to occupy the parsonage.

HOAXY.
Whom will These Thinas End Z

According to the Shanghae Courier Of March %, the
Burlingame mission is nothing but hoax. The
Courier is on the ground, the seat of govern
ment, and should be well posted; but we should be
sorry TO feel convinced that it is right in its
ton. 1t is by no means improbable however, that it
has stated the truth in the matter. The editor of
that paper says:-
"As a matter of fact, the Chinese authorities
laugh at the innocence OF foreign governments re-
CeVing men OF no rank, aud OF no authority, as if
they were actually entrusted with the confidence
of the Emperor. They may say they make whatever
agreements they please; ana II very favorable to
if otherwise they win be similarly ignored and re-
pudiated. Under such circumstances 1t is not likely
that any permanent good will come out of this
malOus mission The deception will be made clear
some day; and the expose will give foreigners rather
the facility with which they had been imposed upon
will not increase the Chinese respect for the wisdom

HARVEY'S SALARY.
Tale with a Moral Attached Thereto.

Tale with a Moral Attached Thereto.
The correspondent of the New York Express has
discovered that Congress has been snubDed. He
writes the following on the 25th instant, from Wash
ington:-
The attempt of the late Congress to defraud Mr.
Harvey, the American Minister at Lisbon, OF his
salary for three years. in consequence OF private
letter to Mr.. Seward in defense of President john
son, is well known. The present Congress, however,
did not initiate the bad example OF its predecessor,
but made the requisite appropriation OF $4,000 for
the three years salary.
1t will crafty all the friends of honesty and fair
dealing to know that Mr.. Harvey received his salary
regularly during the whole period referred tO-his
quarterly drafts on Barring Brothers always being
accepted by Mr. Seward, and the amount paid by
the Barings being reimbursed out OF the surplus
fund Of Consular fees. Had Mr.. Seward allowed our
Minister'S drafts to be dishOnored, the Government
would undoubtedly been subjected to heavy damages
in the Court OF Claims. The malice of the radical
Congress, therefore, fell harmless. They COM
pletey outwtted by the Secretary OF State, and in
perfectly just and legal manner. The difference
between them was that he knew what he was about
and they did not. And here is where "the laugh
comes i'm
MoRAL--When Congress attempts to defraud a
public officer OF the salary to which he is by law
titled let them beware OF the old foX OF the State
Department, or they will be circumvented.

n COlOred Child Beaten TO Death by Its Uncle.
Says the Chicago Republican of Wednesday last:-
At about s O'Clock on Monday evening, q little
colored boy, named Jacob Bates, who has been living
with an uncle at No. 131 Fourth avenue, died under
peculiar circumstances that lead to the suspicion of
foul play. The little fellow was about nine years
DID, and with brother and sister, both older than
himself, has been living for about year With a
brother OF his father named Lewis Bates. The boys
father has been dead several years. and his mother
is in the Southern States. Neighbors in the imme-
diate vicinity OF the uncles house have frequently
noted the course Of harsh and tyrannica treatment
OF the brutal guardian towards the children.
For Trivial causes he has been known TO punish
the children without mercy, until their little backs
were lacerated by the cruel lash.
The deceased child has been in poor health for
several weeks and has been under the medical treat
ment OF DR.. Wickersham.
Bates, who is an eXpressman, on returning home
on Monday evening stated to his wife that the boy
Jacob had been 'Iying again." and he would whip
him until he died or he would break him of the nabit.
WhereupOn he seized huge strap or raw hide, and
applied it to the boys back with terrible power for
bOrhood, and Morgan Butler a brother-in-aw of
Bates, insisted that the punishment OF the little fel
low should cease
The child was barely able, after the punishment,
to stand alone having just strength to walk to the
bed, and expired in few moments.
Information of the unnatural affair being taken to
the police, Bates was arrested yesterday morning,
and confined in the Armory, to await the inquisiton
to be holden by the Coroner.
Yesterday afternoon a past nlOTten1 examination
was made by Dr. Hanson, assisted by Drs. Pitcher,
Smons and Newman.
Upon the chids back were found as many as fifty
decorations Of the flesh, many of which were two
inches in length The physicians found serious etfu-
sions of the lungs and heart probably caused by the
severe beating.
No serious internal injuries were found but on the
caused by shock to his nervous system, caused by
the whipping.
