Meeting Of the Catholics of Richmond
The Action Of Victor Emanuel IN Seising Rom,
to be Denounced.-A conference of the member
| OF the Society of Saint Vincent of Paul was
held yesterday, a full attendance being present
| A motion was submitted to the president
John Ahern, Esq, for the appointment of {
| committee of three to prepare an address OF
coincidence and sympathy with the Most HOLY
Father, Pic Nino, in depreciation of the seizure
of Rome and the other Papal domains by the
| usurpations and other unlawful acts of Victor
Emanuel, King of Italy.
10 give full force and effect TO the action OF
the Catholics OF Richmond on this important
subject, motion was also made and carried
unanimously that mass meeting of the con-
gregations of St. Peters Cathedral, st. Pat
rick's, and st. Mary's Germany churches, be
held at st. Peters at an early day this week ,
OF which due notice will be given.
The President appointed the following gen.
tlemen committee to prepare the address and
make arrangements for the proposed meeting
A. l.. Masurier, ESQ.,, Capt. William English
and John M. Higgins, Esq. The committee
afterwards waited on the Right Rev. Bishop
McGil to obtain bis approval of and co -oper-
alton in the proposed action, which that eiai-
nent divine was graciousIy pleased to accord.
The action of Victor Emanuel in forcibly
seizing the Holy City has walked the indigna-
ton OF the Catholic world, by whom ii is re-
garded as a PROCLAMATION to be denounced as
most abhorrent TO every idea of right, Justice or
religion. Such meetings have been held in
rlost of the principal cities OF this country al
ready.
1t is hoped that the meeting of the Richmond
Catholics will not only be numerously attended
but that its component parts will come prepared
to render substantial aid to the Holy Father,

sTARTLINe sTATEMENTs.

The Washington Patriot, speaking Of
the astounding deialcation of Major
Hodge. of the War Department (which
was covered up by false balances in his
reports) makes the following statement,
which is what many have suspected
might be the case:
Within the last few weeks, the Comp
troller of the Treasury has admitted,
over his official signature, that a million
of notes have been issued by the Trea-
surer of the United States, without any
record Of their denomination or num-
bers." Who can tell how many more
millions have been put in circulation
without record2 The statements Of the
public debt, made by the Secretary of
the Treasury and Treasurer, exhibit
discrepancy Of one hundred and ten mil
lions Of dollars. And it is notorious
here, that the books of the Register and
the Secretary cannot be balanced by
many millions. All attempts to recon
Gle these differences have utterly failed,
and the Treasury statements are forced,
false. and arbitrary. Werepeat, that in
vestigation is demanded, for the protec-
ton Of the holders Of public securities,
and 10 check the organized robbery, by
