BISHOP ruRoELLs INDEBTEDNESS.

DINltOI
The debt of Archbishop PURCELL appears
to be colossal in amount. 1t is now COM
puted at S40OO,OOO, which is matter of
deep concern with the Roman Catholics of
Ohio and of the whole world for that mat
ter. 1t is not local question, but affects
the church rs body. Large sums Of money
have come into his hands through the con-
fidencc of thousands Of poor, laboring peo-
pie, who regard their prelNte as infallible,
and hence their confidence is not only
greatly impaired in the Bishop himself, but
in the religion which he so eminently repre-
sents. In this connection The Bishop per-
haps is not chargenble with any ollense
more grave than that OF gross imprudence
and financial shortsightedness, if not abso-
lutte Ignorance in matters Of finance. The
poor, coniding people seem in this case to
be doomed to lose whatever they may have
intrusted of their means with the emi-
nent prolate; but the honor Of the church
must be maintained by taxation to meet
this deficiency, and the very class who
have lost their own means will be called
upon to contribute TO make up the Si,OO0,OOO
deficit that exists against the Bishop. The
The laborcrs and servant girls connected
with the Roman Catholic Church in Cincn-
natl and that vicinity have been depositing
their surplus means with the Archbishop
for more than thirty years with the same
confidence that leads them to the cross
under their religious iaith, and the dscov-
cry that he is like other men, lallible, must
bring a shock to their religious faith that
will not easily be recovered from. This,
however, is but one of many instances in
which the humble followers of the Roman
Catholic faith have long confided their sur
plus earnings under toll to their prelates,
in. whom they have had the most un-
bounded confidence. To be made to be-
lieve that their priests are not infallibl
greatly weakcns their faith in their religion.

IT was the supposition-a mere supposi-
ton, it secms-of The Fathers that the pay
ment of annual salaries to Congressman
would have the effect to shorten the sessions
of Congress. But it seems this was mis-
take. A great many men are sent to Con-
gress who are of more Importance here in
Washington than they are at THEN homes,
and for that reason, if for no other, they are
prone to linger among the scenes of their
ileeting greatness. A better plan would be
to pny them by the job. If an honest od
rdiorcm adjustment could be made of their
wages "by the piece" the country would
save a great deal of money. Two-thirds of
the present Congress, for example, would
start to walk home next Tuesday.

The retirement of Hon. JOSEPH II.
RATNEY from the scat in Congress VIII ich he
has so ably filed for the past eight years
leaves a void which will fall with great
hardship upon the South Carolina Republic
cans. With desire to subservc the best in
terests of his constituency Mr. RAINEY con-
tinucd TO represent his district in Congress,
although it is well known that he could
have been made Governor of South Caro-
lima in 1514 had he expressed desire for
the position. Possessed of mcthodical
mind, with good education, and withol a
gentleman Of high integrity he has made n
reputation for himself as a Statesman which
secures him the appreciation and commenda-
ton of good men everywhere. Democratic
malice and vindictive hate have never yet
attempted the task of detracting from his
good name, and Southern Republicans
may in the future point to him
rs one of their number who re-
ilected credit upon the party of equal
rights. The recognized Republican leader
Of his native State, he will continue to ex-
crl large influence there, and when the
| laws ana the constitution are again re-
spected in South Carolina his constituents
will delight to elevate him to a position
commensurate with his sterling worth. His
record MS a Congressman has been fine, and
| the manner in which lie always discharged
the duties devolving upon him, together
with his aflability of manner, have made
him many admirers throughout the Union,
and have thus tended TO lift vast weight
Of prejudice from off the shoulders of the
colorcd race The Administration will
doubtless see TO it that u gentleman of Mr..
RAINEY's usefulness will not be allowed to
retire to private life but will confer such an
appointment upon him as will be betting

party with such success for the past eight
