ryr ,,ryUoDJST BOOK CONCERN


W. onnoupced q few days ago that the mem
bers of tl,e Roo4x Committee of the Methodist
Episcopal Church had been secretly sllmmoneu
from all tbc pa,ts of tie country to investigate
the conduct of the Junior Book Agent, the
Rev. DR.. Lanahan, whose name Is lamiiiar "
the public as the originator of the recent III
yestigatiOns into the administration Oh lhe
Bool, Concern. The whole American press, WIN
prObabIy less than dozen exceptions, refected
tbe Opinion of the country at large, that there
had clearly been some irregularities in the adj
mipistratiOn of the Book Concern, and that
tbe man who discovered them had deserved
well of his church. But number OF gentle
men who for years have held prominent po-
sitons in the Book Concern were OF dlffereht
opinion, and brought, in turn, serious charges
against DIR. Lanahan. In what these charges
consist we have been unable to learn; from
vague statements made in some papers, we
infer that he was specially accused OF over
bearing conduct and incompetence. At all
events, the charges were deemed OF sufficient
Importance to call for special meetinS OF
the members of the Book Committee, Who i've
scattered in all the States OF the Union, In
order to dispose of the matter. According 10
the opinion of the opponents OF Dr. Lanalan'
which in many private circles was freely dis
cussed, the guilt of the accused was so evident,
and the sentiments of the majority OF the
Judges were so well known i'll advance, that Ills
immediate suspension was regarded as fore
gone conclusion. 1t was also expected that the
suspension would be pronounced before any
body was aware of the meeting Of the Com
mittee.
The article in TIE TRIBUNE on Thursday
the first one of the New-IOrk press to call
attention to the subject--excited considerable
surprise. 1t was followed by articles in other
papers on the next day, and it was ascertaned
that the editors of all the leading papers In
the city had very decided opinion on the
subject, and would speak out strongly upon
the announcement of the Committees decision.
How far this knowledge has influenced the
majority of the Committee we cannot say; but
we learn that majority judged it best, under
the circumstances to adjourn to next October.
It is also reported that one or several Oh
the chief instigatOrs of this whole matter had
in the meanwhile been informed that dOcu-
mentary proofs of some of their own acts,
which would establish something quite different
from Overbearing temper and incOmpetency,
were ready for publication. But however this
may have been, the members of the Com
mittee, we understand, have resolved to do
nothing, go home, and await the regular meet
ing of the Committee in October. Whether
this important result will increase the general
confidence in the business capacities of the
Book Committee remains to be seen.

There will be great excitement created in
pugilistic circles by the information that an
English anatOmist" has discovered "a new
"muscle in the human body" and this feeling
will, perhaps, be shared by pedestrians, boat
racers, and athletes Of every variety. We have
been expecting something Of this kind. We
knew that we could not 60 on forever in the
career OF physical development without adding
new muscle or tendon; and here we have
the first. We now await particulars Is this
one of the muscles upon which a man may
traveli VIII it be useful in hitting out or i'll
stepping Outl Is it one which Messrs. Tweed
and Sweeny will find useful upon electiOn-day ?
Or is it one Of your little, mean, contemplate

A short time since number Of prominent
European bankers requested Secretary Bout
well to telegraph the monthly debt statement
to London, Paris, Amsterdam, and Frankfort
simultaneously with it's publication here and
on inquiry, it was found that the expense in
volved would be about 5000 a month. The
fact that such a request was made shows very
strikingly the want of enterprise on the part
of the newspapers of these great cities More
than ono thousand millions of our Government
bonds are held in Europe; and, as conse-

THE FENIANs on THE CANADI4N BORDER

TIE FENIANS on THE CANADIAN BORDEh
The Fcnians are on the move, 1T seems, ana
with such dispatch, energy, and secrecy nave
tbev acted that both Canadian and American
authorities are apparently Outwitted. WINE
a small column has appeared away off in Min
nesota ON what now looks like feint, Other
and more formidable bands have moved
through New-YOIk and Vermont ana are
ON the border, if not across 1t. Inc
American commander at Sault 81. Mario
has repOrted suspicious characters" NOV
ing through the canal, but whether snug
clers or soldiers we are not told. Col. Bolton,
the Canadian commander, naturally considers
every suspicious character" to be Fenlan,
and recognizing that discretion Is an esseh.lai
if not the better part OF Canadian valOr' ne mas
doubled the guards around his camp III the
Canadian wilderness.
OF the active column in this State and in
Vermont the information is rather indefinite
But there ia little doubt that the Fenians are
moving in the East in such force as to de-
mand the attention of the Government, which
will, we doubt not, promptly enforce strict
neutrality, without waiting for suggestions
from the Canadian authorities. Such was not
the custom of the English, 1T Is true Dut their
example is not one which President Grant
thinks it proper to follow, and the Fenians who
design crossing into Canada East will have
not only to meet an enemy in front, but also
to avoid force on their tanks. The official
correspondence relative to the refusal to pass
the Canadian vessels through the Sault st.
Marie Canal reveals the purpose of the Presi-
dent to maintain strict neutrality. The Eng
lish Minister states positively that the steamer
Chicora, which was refused the passage, had
only Hudson Bay Company stores on board !;
but it is established by the Canadian papers
that the troops which had been on board were
removed in small boats pending the applica-
ton at the Custom House. The English Min
lister also assures the Secretary of State that
the expedition goes not to conquer Riel, but to
establish the new Government of Manitoba.

Senator Sherman submitted his long threat
ened justification of the odous income tax
yesterday. The telegraphic report does not
fully present his arguments, but little cir
cumstance Of the same debate would seem to
indicate that they were not weighty. His
speech was also lecture to the Senate on its ex-
travagance in appropriating large sums to
maintain needless departments and enterprises.
On the conclusion of his speech the Senate,
seemingly by way of comment, passed Mr..
Summers bill giving 100000 to the North
Pole explorers. We judge from this indca-
tion that the Senate means to repeal the in
como tag,

The Army Appropriation bill, as submitted
in the House, appropriates about $3,Oo0,OOO less
than the War Department asked for. We
shall be disappointed if the debate does not
result in further considerable reduction. In
view OF the prospects of peace at the West,
and OF the further reduction of the army by
the bill, upon which Conference Committee
is now at work, the expenses of this burden
some department ought to be lessening greatly
with each successive year Of peace.

Dr. Hammond, it appears from bis card in
ahotnef column, was engaged by the counsel
lor the defense in the Mcfarland case to give
the remarkable testimony lately reported;
Dut he was not paid 10 large a fec
as rumor had accorded him. Tho
facts only illustrate the chaotic copdi-
ton of our system Of Jurisprudence. with
reference to this grave class of cases We
have here physician engaged by the counsel
for a prisoner to prove him insane, certain that
his evidence will not be used unless it sus
tains that view, and yet cannot be used IN
subserve the interests of justice on the other
side; we have prisoner acquitted on that
evidence; and we now have the physician de-
claring that the acquit and liberated prisoner
ought to be straightway confined again, and
making no secret of his own opinion that
he might have been hung, on the avowed
ground that he was not so insane as not to he
responsible! We shall have no escape
from monstrous anomalies like these till
we can have the question of in
sanity considered entirely apart from the
question of guilt for the crime charged, and
by different and competent Count.
Meantime we invite attention to the care
