Let no man longer doubt the madness of
the Commune, or regret that its power is rap
idly passing away. The demolition of the
column in the Place Vead6me confirms the
lunacy of Les Incapdblcs If it had been die
tatcd by genuine feeling of amity toward
the Germans, and real desire to remove
every object calculated to remind them of
past reverSes and huiniiations, there would
have been some slight reason for the bar
barous act But though the PaiiSians en-
deavor to convey the idea that this
feeling exists by remaining the square
La Place IhterRdti0ndic, it is well known that
they bear no love or respect for the con-
oueIing Germans. But even this feeling would
not have justified the folly OF destroying
work whose political Significance had been for
gotten by every body but the Parisians them
selves in admiration of its artistic grandeur
and perfection. To the Germans, although
concentrating victories over them, it had
long since ceased to be offensive; and when
they might, by force of arms, have decrced its
fall they forgot its existence, or remembered it
only as a work of art TO be admired. ii was the
monument of Nation, not of 4 Dynasty; and
COMMUNICATED not the fame of Napo!eOn, but

of it's military achievements. 1t does not
argue increasing virtue that this race has de-
strOyed the column of victory ia the hour OF
sore defeat, but it is absolute and conclusive
proof of a return of that spasrodic madness

people on the face of the earth, axe p2Ti0di-

would very soon cut off a considerable sum,

success by private charitable association Of

"placing out" poor and pauper children rather
than congregating them in Asylams. The
Commissioners have only to employ the beneyo-
lent agency of this Society, and they could
easily put some five hundred children annually
in good country homes. This alone would be
a saving of 100000.

Mr. John Gibnev. come time Of Ireland has de-
cided views on the subject of religion. He went
into tina Church Of St. Vincent last Sunday bran
dishng On AK and otherwise preterniting that dec
orous bearing which suits so wen the house OF
prayer. To u gentleman who demonstrated with
him he replied by driving clasp knife into his
skull. an argument whose cOgency was at once ap-
precated by his interlOcutOr. These proceedings
disagreeably impressed the congregation, and some
of them went for the police and some brought rope
to hang DIR. Gibney. The policeman met the man
with the rope AZ the door and by a happy inspira-
ton of genius, concluded to tie IN Mr. Gibney with
the rope aforesaid He was rapidly taken to place
of confinement and, of course, promptly and thor
oughy interviewed. He gave this reasonable and
lucid account of his proposed enterprise Has OBJECT

thought great deal on the subject of religion, and
had seen the folly of it, and like most orig
inal thinkers. was fond of discou1sng upon it.
But his eloQuenco was of that filling KIND that
a little of it went great way. His friends
used to check the flow of bis animadyersions by
saving. IF you don't like the service don't go to
church, which was most exasperating, for how
could he dislike it properly unless he went. He
knew it was all mummery, he said and If he could
only cut down the cruciiiX, which was put up by
some blOated tyrant for his own ends, he would
emancipate tho people from the yoke Of superstition
We should have had Ireland free long ago, quoth
Mr.. Gibncy, but for the priests. He quoted one
Father Morarty as saying that hell was not deep
enough for Fenians, and expressed fervent desire
for the immediate personal presence OF the said
Father that he might dislocate for him his cervcal
vertebra. lie had evidently suffered somewhat from
his devotion to free inquiry; for he said. with
candor which did equal credit to his own fidelity to
principle and the Celtic devotion to the church. that
he could MT talk religion in barroOm without
some fool of an IrisEman getting up to beat him."
But at this point he made an announcement which
indicates one of those heroic souls which balk at no
enterprise, however desperate. He said be was tired
of seeing old women make fools of themselves and he
was going to put stop to it II he had TO kill few Of
them This purposed interference with one OF the
most sacred rights of the will carry coDsterna-

courage of Dir. Gibney, refrain from mentioning.

The main value of an important communi-
cation on the City Finances, which we print
elsewhere this morning, is in the foreshadow-
ing which it gives Of the oDg-promised report
of Controller Connolly. We cheerfully give
space to its plea for the economy Of our rulers,
-prefcrnng to await the full details of the
report for any extended analysis and merely
remarking now that in the large reduction of
expenses over those of former years, which it
claims, 40 allowance is made for the sixteen

public statements regarding their claims, and
that their sittings are consequently idle. Is it

Judge Elwell. the umpire agreed upon by
the representatives of the Miners and OPP
orators Unions to arbitrate the matters at
issue in Schuylkill, has made decision fixing
a basis of wages just midway between the ex-
tremes demanded by the contending parties.
The miners certainly have no reason 10 COM
plain, and the operators will be glad TO get to
work after the heavy losses which they have
sustained. The Schuylidll operators have by
no means the power of resisting strikes which
is exercised by the great companies of the
North. and some of them must have been
forced 10 tie verge of bankruptcy.

The Scranton Companies having within a
week offered compromise to their miners,
and resolved, on Monday, to keep their offer
open few days longer, would have done well
to postpone their attempt to work the mines
by non -Unicnists till the offer had been defin-
iteIy accepted or rejected The result of that
exaspcraang movement, aud of putting
firearms into the hands of excited laborers, is
that two miners were, last evening, wGntonly
Killed by shot fired at them by one OF the
armed non Unionists returning from work at
the Briggs shaft. AS our correspondent de-
scribes the affair, it was nothing less than
willlul murder. The effect of this on the
miners in their present desperate mood may
be vtIy sCIiOus.

Rulof has taken to profanity in his last
hours. The refusal of the Governor to COM
mute his sentence or respite him until his
great work is completed, has caused him to
indulge in oaths, the philOlogy of which he
does not stop in his wrath to explain, but
whose cOarsencss has cost him much sympathy
in the town where he has been confined. His
execution Will take place to-day.
