Captain Ulman, of the Fourth precinct. and his
Officers made diiisent inquiries at the above num-
Der In Cherry street ana found that no man named
williams mad lived there, and no such individual
was known TO the inmates. In fact, the place was
unable to speak our language. No faith, therefore,

request for Its burial
the likeness OF deceased was taken yesterday
afternoon by the Photographic artist OF Bellevue

GENERAL ANDERsON'S FUNERAL.
The Public Sentiment-Why There Were Not
Full Military Honors.

Considerable comment has been occasioned by
the absence OF full military honors at the funeral OF
the late General Anderson. As various causes nave

tary authorities and an impression appears 10 exist
that there was not SUFFICIENT p0mp ana display,
some prominent military men in this city IN regard
to the matter. These were to the erect tnat there
was no slight offered intended to the funeral OF
the dead hero. In the rst place, the secretary OF
war had Issued orders that the funeral should be
conducted IN the style In which IL really took place.
and secondly this was not the time for the display
OF the usual honors as The carrying OF the remains
of a private than public ceremony. When the re.
maius or the late General Halleck arrived In this
city from Kentucky for intermens in Greenwood
the funeral was not OF public character, and
another example was had In the case OF the late
General Hitchcock, who was inferred at West
Point, his remains having been brought on here
from GeOrgla.

Monsignor Carli, Bishop of Palmyra, in par
tidas infdeaum, and coadjutor in one of the
Tuscan dioceses, has been sentenced to si1
months' imprisonment by the Florence Police
Court. His offence was the having read the
Exorcisms prescribed in the Roman Ritual
over person whom competent ecclesiastical
and medical judges had decided to stand in
need of this ministration of the Church. The
Jewish Liberia terms the Catholic rite of Ex-
orcism farce; the other revolutionary jour-
nails follow suit. Mousignor Carli has yet to
be heard in the Court of Appeal, and we shall
probably have to refer again to this unwar-
rantable insult to prelate of our Holy Church.
The Palss'ra puts a pertinent question to the
prosecutors of the Tuscan bishop: "Jesus
Christ has promised that His disciples shall
cast out devils. Do you believe in this power {.
No. Well, then, tolerate those that do, in
order at least not to put yourselves into con-
tradiction with your own statute"
