OVER FIVE thousand persons visited
the two cemeteries at Montreal Sunday,
says the telegraph. We can scarcely
realize in this free and enlighted coun-
try why aud how such a disturbance
shoald occur as has disgraced Montreal
over the burial Of q man who was of no
particular consequence when living.
We see it stated in explanation that this
Joseph Guibord, a Canadian printer,
and a pious Catholic, connected
himself with a library association which
fell under the ban Of the priesthood
because it permitted books and newspa.
pers on its shelves hat the church had
condemned. He died in 1869, and his
widow made application to have his re-
mains inferred in the family lot in a
Catholic cemetery. The application was
refused, for the reasons above given, and
his fellow members of the organization
mentioned bsought the matter before the
courts, and it was finally decided by the
Queens Priyy Council that Guibord's
remains should be inferred in the Cath
Ollie cemetery, where sepulture had been
refused. Carrying out this decision, his
remains were taken up, and the inter-
ment attempted, when it vas prevented
by a mob Of excited zealots." While
this is purely a local disturbance it be-
comes a question Of some general inter
est when understood as a direct conflict
between Church and State.

The reporters could not get at Jeffer'
son Davis, but they interviewed one Of
his staff, SO to speak, Col. j. M. Heating,
one of the editors of the Appeal. He
interviews well. according to the Globe
Democrat, and with all respect to Mr.,
Davis, we believe hat all his speeches
will not have the salutary and practical
effect upon the public mind as Colonel
Heating clear and forcibly stated views.
He may have gone too far in one OF two
points, being an impulsive Irishman, but
his earnestness and zeal seem to atone
for mistakes, if any he has made. The
white people of Mississippi will see that
they have in him q strong friend.

NEw York, September 4.-The mem.
bsrs Of the Virginia Press Association,
now visiting this city, yesterday called
on Mayor Wickham at the City Hall.
General J.. R. Slayton, editor of the
South, was spokesman for the delega-

the Amherst Enterprise and President
Of the Press Association, spoke for the

between'S Secretary Delano and Professor
Marsh, a scene following, according to
report, s1ch as is seldom witnessed. Sec.
Rotary Delano is made to call the Pro-
fessor a liar, poltroon, etc. The Profess
sor answered that he would not be in
suited by the Secretary Of the Interior
or any other man, that he had treated
Mr.. Delano as a gentleman should,
which statement the Secretary denied,
and Immediately left the room, saying
that the Professor did not know what a

A private telegram has been received
in this city from Toronto announcing
that a frightful accident occurred on the
Grand Trunk railway this morning. A
train was thrown from the track and
several of the employees on the train
we're killed. The whole train was COM
pletely wrecked, and to add to the hor-
rors, the cars took fire, and large num-
bers of cattle, which we're buried under
the debris, were actually roasted alive,
it being impossible to extricate them.
About half past ten o'clock this morn
ing, while experimenting with Mrs.
Udab's patent aerial ladder in Rutgers
Square, an appalling accident occurred
which resulted in the death Of at least
three men and probably two or three
others. 1t appears hat as soon as the
ladder had been put together and placed
in position in the center OF the Square
the Chief mounted to the top followed
by eight or ten Of his men ranged in
various points along the ladder. The
ladder looked to be nearly one hundred
feet in hight. The men had not been on
the ladder more than half a minute
when it swsyed backward and forward
and suddenly snapped in two. The men
wereinstantly precipitated to the ground,
three Of them being killed outright and
as many more dangerously, ifnot fatally,
injured. The bodies were Immediately
removed on trucks. The chief was
among the killed. Later information
says it was VIM. a., Nash. chief of the bat
and not the chief engineer, who
was killed. The others killed outright
by the fall we're Philip Morse and VIM.
Hughes. The Aerial Ladder Company
had been ordered out for practice, and
while the men we're going through their
eyolutions the accident occurred.

ABIDING to Mississippi affairs, the
Knoxville Chronicle Of the llth instant
nses the following significant language:
The caution aud prudence exercised
by the President, as appears from our
dispatches of yesterday and to-day, will
command the approval of all patriotic
men. of whatsoever political party. 1t is
possible that il Governor Ames had eK,
ercised the same caution, and had taken
hold Of the outlaws in o vigorous way,
showing that he had the courage to deal
with them as their crimes deserved, and
had appealed to the best element of beth
political parties to aid him in sustaining
peace and Furnishing the guilty, no ap.
peal to the Federal government would
have been necessary. We heartily wish
fhat the State and the South may not be
disgracsd by another such occurrence
