Il Phfsburg Bishop goes TO Rome, TO
Meet Charges Made .7gainst Him -
He is Confined in Cell, and Re
ported Dead.
A Pit,sburg despatch of last Thurs
day says; A startling rumor has OBJ
tsiued circulation TO the effect that
Bishop Domenec, late of the Roman
atholic diocese Of Allegheny, is not
dead, as reported, but held As prison
er for life at Rome. Ii is au open se-
cret that the Bishop had been accused
OF misspProprla,iDg or squsndering
some eight hundred thousand dollars
of The diocesan funds while Bishop Of
Pitisturg, aud thit be had been sum
moned TO Rome to give al account Of
his official management Of the affairs Of
the diocese. He went to Rome With
the utmost confidence in his ability to
defeat an intrigue set on foot to depose
him, and few days ago he was report
ed to have died in his native city of
Tarrangoua in Spain, on the 5th of
January last.
The story how circulated is ,ubstscs
italy this: Tha, the Bishop, after e
hearing at Rome. was degraded and
sentenced to imprisonment for life in
solitary cell, to be fed on black bread
and water. Not much credence is
placed in the story, as Bishop Mullen,
one o. the executors named in the will,
appeared before Register Gray in this
city and made oath to the fact that
Bishop Domenec is dead, and Bishop
Quigg has announced that be has in
formation of the death of the late Bis
hop, and the Church has been going
through the solemn service suited to
the occasion. Bishop Domenec was
regarded here as q man of integrity,
as we'll as piety and learning. and those
who we're familiar with his official con-
duct utterl, deny the allegation that be
had misappropriated the funds of the
diocese.

Repudiation..-

It is not generally known that
works bave been published that re-
feet ON the honor of Pennsylvania.
The publications referred to, create
the impression that during the finan-
cial distress of the years 1887 to 1S43
the Legislature of this Common
wealth took measures to repudiate
the debt of the State. With the
object Of correcting the wrong i'm
preston, Representative Schell offer
ed the following in the Lower House
of Legislature last Friday:
WHEREAS, Editions of the works of
popular authors are frequently re-
printed in foreign countries as well
as our own, In which it is asserted
that in the crisis of the credit of
Pennsylvania about the years 1889 to
1S43 Reputation of the Obligations
of Pennsylvania are declared in acts
of the Legislature; that a refusal to
pay principal or interest of her obi
cations took place in obedience to
these enactments on the part of the
State authorities, and asserting other
erroneous charges. This false his
torical representation fills place in
much of the current history of that
period misrepresenting the action of
the State during a temporary de-
rangement of her financial affairs !;
therefore,
Resolved, Of the Senate concur),
That a special committee of two men,
bers of the Senate and three men,
bers of the House be appointed
whose duty it shall be to prepare and
report the Legislative acts of that
period, with a brief history of the
conduct of the State authorities un
der such acts, if any exist, to the end
that the works of popular authors
may no longer be quoted to asperse
the good name of Pennsylvania.
In support of the resolution Mr..
ScheIl read a letter from Mr.. Nc
Henry, of London, alluding to the
Rev. Sydney Smith as one Of those
who had ibeled the State. The res
olution was adopted

A Jaded Column of Russians
Climbing the Balkans.

A special correspondent of Nc
Clures Tunes, under date Of January
90, 1878, writes as follows, of the
weary march of a column of Russian
troops up the Balkan range of noun
tains:
The soldiers Of the line who brought
up the fret battery were in the first
place small men, and the drag ropes
wee not long enough to permit more
than fifty to take hold, and then they
were much worn by their march from
Plevna aud exposure to the storm, and
the moment it became dark they lay
down and slept. When walked they
got up half asleep, dragged the cannon
few steps and then lay down with
out letting go Of the rope and slept on
the ice as soundly as j: in a warm bed.
The whole route to the very top was
lined with sleeping soldiers. Many
scooped holes in the snow buddled in
to them and went peacefully to sleep.
All the wood was green and no soft
timber is fonnd IN the mountains, so
fires were made with great difficulty
aud every small blaze bad a score of
soldiers crowded about it, dry ing their
feet and boiling their bareback in melt
ed snow. Nothing could be more ap-
ooizing to any one accustomed to Soc
things move in hurry than the sight
Of these men all qulstly resting at the
very time when thew we're supposed TO
be at work. The delay of the 6rst
cannon OF course slapped the whole
column, and twenty five thousand men
were waiting because sergeant's squad
slept 10 the path instead Of moving on
and finishing their work. The officers
slept as soundly as the men, and all

General Gurko, who came up the noun.

Conciliate, Give Them Rope.

The prosecutions in the South,
which go vigorously on, create rest
lessness in the mind Of many North
ern people, because they believe the
cases of prosecution there, are but
the shadows of coming events, and
indicate the purpose to overthrow
the changes made by Rebellion, and
TO restore the order of things that
existed prior to 1850 Such pur-
pose is, however, denied. The pros
ecutors declare that tie men that
they have taken into court, are bad
men, who have done bad work, under
the shield of the National govern
ment, and now that the National gov
ernment no longer protects them
they shall be punished 1t is certain
that the cOneiiiatO,y policy of Presi-
dent Hayes has developed the pros
ecutions. If the prosecutions are
indeed for the purpose of breaking
up the work of bad men, and have
no other object, then they are right.
II they are for the purpose OF open
ing the way to a general movement,
through the machinery of Southern
courts, etc, against all reconstruc
ton measures, with the object OF
restoring the old order of affairs,
with indemnity to the South, they
are wrong, and will be resisted with
q force that no man In his sober, wake
full senses, can realize. Whichever
it be, the conciliatory policy of Pres
ident Hayes will develope it. If it
be for the good, it Will so develope
the better disposition to show itself.
II it be for the bad, it will give the
bad an opportunity to show itself, so
that no mistake can be made regard
ing the purpose. Conciliate. Give
them rope.

SENATOR BLAINE delivered a speech
in the United States Senate on the
7th inst, on the silver question. He
took a middle course. The 412t
grains silver dollar is too cheap for
him. The dollar he advocates is one
having 425 grains of standard silver.
If Senator Blaine had advocated a
silver dollar that shall equal dollar
in gold, he would have placed himself
in accord with the people on the coin
question The people generally are
favorable to silver coin, but it must
not be cheapened by too much alloy.

question. The New York Tunes

harmony, namely, that the Senators
shall do as the President wants them
to do on the silver question, that is,
