jenkins, an insane white man, who had been
committed to the jail OF Richmond county,
Virginia, to be tried for killing servant

combining in civilized country, even during
the Prison-lite Of a criminal. jenkins was
placed in jail about the middle OF August, and
soon after his Incarceration, he broke out the
two windows at the sides of his cell, and tore up
his clothing, and from that time till bis death,
he had been entirely nude, and without any
clothing, bedding, shavings, straw or furniture
in his room. The winds and rains drove through
his cell at will excepting the slight break made
by the prison bars: He seemed to enjoy his
naked condition during the warm weather, and
spent his time singing, shouting, and otherwise,
rs the spirit moved him, but lately the cold, and
eometimee rainy night, proved that darkness

low, are important tor support Of human life.

THE IRISH CATHOLIC BENEVOLENT UNION
EIcttiRg Discussion Of the Public School Question
At yesterdays session of the Irish Catholic
Benevolent Union, held In st. Louis, resolutions
were adopted: That the deplorable attitude OF
the government toward religion Is the result of
the abandonment of Gods will; that the present
imprisonment of the Pope is the contamination
of hellish conspiracy; that we protest against
the persecution of Prussia that morality, relig-
ion, sobriety and honesty are safeguards against
the national democracy; that secret societies
and other dangerous associations of men, I'M
taught in the principles Of religion, and bent
through tortuous ways, on purely material ends
are subyersive Of social order, and fatal to faith
as II is destructive of the morality of Catholics;
that Catholic is not true to the country if false
TO the church; that education, TO be effective
must be religious; that the present system OF
public schools, ignoring all supernatural author
ity and making God, the first knowledge, the
last thing to be learned, Is a curse to our coun-
try and food-ga of atheism and of sensual
and civil, social and national corruption A
long and spirited debate ensued on the public
school resolution, in which opinions divided
The following substitute was then adopted
"That the system of state education, now estab-
lished in most of the states by its failure to pro
vide proper religious instruction for the young
and its enlightening the head TO the entire neg
lect of the heart culture, meets with our un-
qualified reprobation; that it unjustly taxes a
large class of our people, who cannot without
danger to their faith and morality of their Off
spring, avail themselves of its advantages"

POSTAL SAVINGS BANK AND THE POSTAL
TELEGRAPH.-The republicans and reformers
of Baltimore held meeting at the New Assem-
bly, rooms in that city last night. The princi-
pal speech OF the evening was made by Post
master General Creswell. Outside Of his com
ments upon the need of a change in the NUM-
cipal administration of Baltimore, his speech
attracted general attention, because OF hi,
statement OF his views upon two projects-the
postal savings banks and the postal telegraph.
He argued that the former would supply the
only deficiency in the national banking system,
by protecting the interests of the depositors
equally with those of the holders of the notes.
and that the money deposited in them would
be converted at Washington into loans and flow
out again into the country, and be always in
circulation TO check financial panics. Further
than this, it could always be used by the govern
mentSor the support of postal telegraphs. These
two measures he believed it to be the duty of
the republican party to carry out, and he was
confident OF their ultimate success.
