A dispatch from Washington to the Trdretter
states that another church scandal ID coming to
light in that city, with promise of a genuine
sensation in the course of the next fortnight
The facts of the case have been mentioned in
connection with some monetary transactions OF
n few leading members of one of the longest
established Episcopal societies OF that city, and
il appears that the matter is undergoing investl
CATION by q committee, consisting OF the pastor
and few friends who realize the painful POSI-
tion in which they are placed, and hope, by in-
dicatiDg the guilty parties, to turn the blame
from tte church to them. There are in WASH
ngton, at present. thirteen Episcopal chnrches
proper among them Christ church, st. John =,
TRINITY and the Epiphany, and fourteen Metho-
dist Episcopal, including the metropolitan and
the Foundry churches.
The church in question is prosperous and con-
Hpicuous, although there WAS time when ITS
treasury was at low ebb, and it ls said the de-
In1uencies OF its members were discovered
thru1uh the confession of dying brother. The
charges are OF a nature duplicating prominent
municipal and government officials and it il said
the investigation will show that within five years
over 1900 600 of government moneys have been
improperly diverted to the Uses OF the society.
No far as the pastor and some others are con-
cerned there has been no suspicion OF the source
of these revenues until recent date, and lhose
who have robbed the government to contrlbnte
both to their own pockets and the church treas
ury have borne an enviable reputation for phi
lanthropic generosity. 1t is believed that the
portion of the spoils given to the church is small
compared to that pocketed by the guilty parties
who, by reason of their position in the church
have been enabled to carry on their system OF
frauds with impunty and with the innocent az
sistance OF their feew membeTs.-BOStOh Gt0Oe

We can never have such an Exposition in
America, not in three years from nowat any
