The contumacy of the Roman Cmho-
lie Archbishop of Posen continues, and,
the confiscation of his entire personal
property is following, as matter OF
course. There are thirty or forty
charges against Mr.. Ledochowsli OF
appointing priests without notifying the
Chief President of the province, as re-
quired by the ecclesiastical laws. On
each charge he is summoned to sepa-
rate trial before the nearest Police
court. Failing to appear, as he invaria-y
bic does, he is fined from 200 to 1000
thalers.' Of course, a refusal to pay the
fine is a necessary part of his policy of
resistance. Then "the proper officer of
the District Court of Posen proceeds to
the Archiepiscopal palace, and leyies on
whatever he can lay hold Of" A few
weeks ago, it was the Archbishop's state
carriage and horses; now, according to
a cable telegram, it is his furniture
Next, we presume, the officer will seize
his ecclesiastical wardrobe, and then,
when the Archbishop, Count Ledcch-
owski, has suffered martyrdom by being
reduced to strictly apostolic state Of
poverty, the Prussian Diet will probably
find it necessary to pass a law depri
wing him of his Office, and providing for
his expulsion from the country.
THE HoosAc TUNNEL-A letter from
Mr.. Walter Stanley, under date Of the
18th instant, states that the Hoosac Tun-
mel will probably be opened through on
the 2Sth instant. The Shanleys have
until September 4, 1874, to complete the
enlargement and grading of the tunnel,
and the laying through it of one line of
track, and the removal of all material, &c.
1t is probable, however, that the tunnel
will be opened for travel on the 4th of
July next, that being Governor Wash

Jay Cooke & Co. do not vet open
their doors, and it begins to look as if
they would be compelled by part of
their creditors to go through bankruptcy
proceedings. If so they cannot pay
over so or 60 cents on the dollar.
The First National Bank, which was
principally owned by Jay Cooke q Co.,
and which was placed in the hands of a
receiver, has paid 80 per cent dividend
to its creditors, including depositors.
EX-President Johnson gets nearly $25,
600 by this dividend The prospects for
more depends on the ability of the Cookies
to pay their debt to the bank. Jay
Cooke drew out $3.50, 900 before the sus-
pension and used it in Philadelphia. 1t
probably went into the Northern Pacific
road. .t y{t
