A Noted Criminal at Larue.

The public, and more especially the finan-
cal community OF the metropolis, will be
surprised to learn that the arch forper.
Louis NJ Van Eeten, is no longer serving
the State as a convict, he having, through
the fundamentally of a pardon from Gov
ernor Dix, shaken the dust of Sing Sing
prison from his feet, emerging from that
institution free man last Thursday, The
extensive forgeries perpetrated by Van
Eeten some three years ago in Wall street.
their subsequent discovery and his trial and
conviction must still be fresh in the me-
mofies OF New York business men. numbers
OF whom suffered severely, both in a mental
as wen as pecunlary sense, by his nefa-
rlous operations. 1t will also be readily
remembered that he was sentenced in
March, 1871, by Recorder Hackett, to nine
years Imprisonment on two indictments.
i've years on the first and four on the second
the last named term to commence at the
expiration of the former. Among the
knowing ones" in the neiphborhood of
Sing Sing it is rumored that possibly the
pard0ned convict is wanted to appear be-
fore the grand jury, either in New York or
winchester county; but aside from this
speculation it is safe to assert that there ia
an African in the fence somewhere. r. ia
also limited that State Prison Inspector
Platt might be able to throw some Iaht on
the subject Of Van Eeten's pardon, As it is
known that he was in close constellation
with the convict ON each of the two DAYS
mediately preceding the latter's dis
charge from the prison.-Ne,c York Herald,

An American Cardinal.

America is to have Cardinal of the
Roman Church at last. Such, at least, is
the report. And the strangest thing about
the matter is that the person whose name
is connected with the dignity is not an
Archbishop, Bishop or priest even, but a
layman and a JOURNALIST. being no other
than Mr.. James A. Manchester, editor of
the New York Freeman's Journal 1t is
proposed to create Mr.. MacMaster deacon
and afterward Cardinal. 1t is generally
supposed that none but those in orders may
aspire to the dignity of the Cardinals. This
is mistake. There are Cardinal Bishops,
Cardinal priests, and Cardinal deacons.
AntOnelli is not even priest; and if Mac
Master is made Cardinal. as it is affirmed
he will be, he will belong TO the same rank
as Antonelli.
Mr.. MacMaster's claim to recognition by
the ecclesiastical authorities of his Church
are his services as writer and his efforts to
secure money contributions for the support
OF the Pope since he lost his temporal do
minions. 1t is not little strange that the
proposed American Cardinal is the son of a
Presbyterian clergyman, and we believe
that he was himself for time in training
for the clerical Office in that church.
Cardinal MacMaster-if he is to be Car
dinal-will hardly command the respect of
majority of the better educated Catholics
OF the country. He has been an extreme
pro; slavery man, and did all in his power
to further the Southern rebellion. He has
been very incorporate in his language and
unchristian in his Journalistic career. What
good can come of making a Cardinal of
such man, when there are hundreds of
the clergy better suited for the position,
it is hard for the eye of the flesh to
see. The court of Rome, however, knows
Its own business, we presume, and if it
shall create Cardinal out OF MacM
it must have it's own reason for so doing.
We think that the American Catholic
Church need not be congratulated on the
choice or MacMaster for its first Cardinal.

deed the chosen ne,-Chicago Tribune.

Inst Summers Epidemic.

The fearful ravages OF the cholera cpl
demIc last summer suggested to the govern
ment the advantage of a thorough investiga-
ton into its causes and the features attend
ing it, that, in the future, such measures
might be taken as would prevent altogether
its recurrence as an epidemic, or at least,
modify its virulence by the use of proper
precautions. With this in view a joint
resolution was adopted by Congress last
March authorizing the Secretary OF War to
detail medical officer of the army to in
quire into and report upon the causes of
epidemic cholera in the United States
during the year 1873.
Assistant Surgeon Ely Mcclellan, for
several years past stationed in this State,
was detailed to carry out the provisions OF
this act, under the orders of the Surgeon
General of the army. DR.. Mcclellan has
since been actively engaged in this duty,
and has already collected mass of facts
and statistics and will prosecute his labors
in the same direction until the close of the
year, when the limit assigned for the inves-
tigation expires. At the end of that time
the report of DR.. Mcclellan will be pub
lished in book form, and will present prob
ably the best and most carefully -collated
volume of its kind yet issued. He had al
ready devoted much time and labor to the
subject of cholera, and, perhaps, no officer
in the army was so we'll adapted to the
duty in hand.
The task assigned is very laborious one,
and DR.. Mcclellan can only hope for sue
cess in placing before the medical profession
a history of scientific value by securing the
cooperation of his professional brethren
throughout the regions visited by cholera
last summer During that time cholera
occurred in the States of Louisiana, Ala
bama, Arkansas, Tennessee. Kentucky,
Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, West Vir-
ginia, Pennsylvania, Iowa and Minnesota,
and in the Territories Of Dakota and Utah
Through all this territory Dr. Mcclellan
will be obliged to collect his data, and in
view OF the scientific Importance of the in
vestigation, he should have the hearty CO.
operation of all persons possessing the re-
CURED information. 1t is his desire to con-
fine the report to narrative of the absolute
facts presented by each demonstration of
the disease, and we trust that physicians in
the infected districts will lend him every
facility in their power.-Louisoille Courier
Journal.

Practical Joke i'm Dubuque.

A stranger arrived in town to-day and
made inquiries where he could find the mar
shall, and was directed to that officers head
quarters and told that if he did not find the
gentleman in to step into the next room
and he would see rope, to pull that, and
the marshal would respond. He followed
instructions to the letter, and not finding
the officer in his Office, the citizens were
soon alarmed by the claEorous ringing of
the fire bell. En- CINE and hose turned out
quick as possible and posted to headquar-
tiers to ascertain where the fire was located,
and found the stranger there. They asked
where the fire was, and on his answering
he knew of no fire, he wanted to see the
marshal, one of the firemen was go irate at
being thus unnecessarily called out he
pitched into the stranger and gave him a
sound thrashing. The stranger proceeded
to a Justices office to take out a warrant
for the assault, but was informed that if he
did the fireman would bring suit for giving
the false alarm, which ia Q $50 fine, accord
ing to the city ordinances. So he decided
not to sue. and when last heard of was
looking for the man who told him how to
ind the marshal.-Chicago Times

The Thanks of Congress Refused tn sir
LambtOn Lorraine.

Mr.. Ortiz, from the Committee on Foreign
Affairs, reported the House resolution rem
dering the thanks of Congress to Sir Lamb
ton Lorraine of the British navy, adversely,
and it was laid upon the table. The com
mittee, in examining the history of the
transaction, find that the steamer Virginius
was captured on the thirty-frst of October,
1873. Lorraine, commanding the Niobe, on
the seventh of November, 1873, applied to
General Burriel to save the lives of the
British subjects on board the Virginius.
Burrel replied that if any of the prisoners
OF the Virginius, of whatever natiOnalities,
received the death sentence, they should be
executed without fail. Some twenty Brit
ish subjects were executed sixteen of them
after Lorraine's Intervention on the fl
teenth of November. Captain Gushing, of
the Wyoming, arrived at Santiago de CUBA
and Immediately protested in the name of
his country against further proceedings
against the Virginius prisoners. The pro-
test was respected by the Spanish General,
and thereafter no further executions were
had. The committee add that Captain
Gushing did his duty completely and gal
lantly in asserting the rights of the Ameri-
can government and it's citizens. and in
upholding the honor of the American flag,
They, therefore, reported against the adop
ton of the Lorraine resolution, and the
House sustained the re port.
