Miss Maggie Whiting, his organist, who
it is stated is Protestant, has not been

Tuesday last. His parishioners had de-
posted with him some $50, 900 OF their
earnings for safe keeping, upon which
he allowed them six per cent. interest.
These he speculated with and It is sup
posed lost heavily. His conduct with
Miss Witing at the parsonage, OF, on
various occasions, it is said, was so dis
gushing as to cause his sister, who was
his housekeeper, to leave in disgust
and return to Germany Before leaving
he wrote note to Bishop Wood say
ing he left the Catholic Church because
he could not believe in the infallibillty
of the Pope. His two assistants, who
had discovered his irregularities, told
the bishop all the rest.

CONFLICT OF AUTHORITY. "A dispatch from
Baltimore says: There is now going on at
Annapolis contest that threatens to produce
breach in the Democratic party in this State.
One of the earliest acts of the new Governor,
after his qualification 90 March 4, last, was a
notification that the resignation of the then
Adjutant General would be accepted. Nc
Blair declined to comply, and Bond was APP
pointed, aud directed to take possession of the
Office. McBair resisted this, and for ten days
there were two occupants of the Adjutant Gen
erals Office, both claiming authority and refus-
ing to recognize the pretensons or acts of the
other The Governor aud officers of the State
held official Communication with Bond alone,
aud few days ago he secured entire possession
of the Office property, locking the doors during
the absence of McBlair. The latter has rented
an apartment near the State House, from
which he still carries on the contest, and
watches an opportunity to recover his old
quarters by strategy. McBlair contends that
his appointment was for the whole term of
Governor Whyte, aud is not of such charac-
ter to follow his person or to be vacated by his

of the French line of steamers plying between
New York and Havre has been lost. The
steamer Amerique, Of that line, sailed from
New York on the 4th Instant, touched at brest
on the 18th to land the mails and such pas
sengers as chose to 90 ashore, aud sailed on
the same day tor Havre. % that day the dis
aster occurred. A hurricane was encountered,
and the ship sprung aleak. Happily the pas

fcer we're saved They were taken on board
three sailiog vessels that happened to be pear
at hand, and arrived at Brest yesterday. Thus
10 the brief space of less than five mouths
three vessels of the FIVE composing this French
line have been lost, as follows The Vile du
Havre, November 22d, 1878; the Europe
April 4;h, 1874; aud the Amerique, April l+th,
1874. There remain only the Pierre and st.
Laurent, which, we believe, are the oldest OF
all the vessels that the Company has owned.
At this rate of destruction the line will become
totally extinct In the course Of few months
Such fatality would ruin its business even lfthe
two remaining ships were not wrecked.
