RAILROAD CONNECTIONS WITH MExICo-UNsUc-
cEssFUL ENTERPRISES AND DIS
TRUST OF THE MExIcASs.
A despatch from Minister Foster. in Mexico. con-
cerning railroad grants in that country. gives melan
choy account of these matters. The Mexicans appear
TO be extremely afraid of railroad connections with
the United States likely. in their opinion. to make
their country dependency colony of this
country. In fact. Mexican statesman. so-calied.

dread of American influence and do not
appear to comprehend that the best protection
their weak nationality and tottering independence
have is the establishment of free aud
secure commercial intercourse between the
two countries. because that will create
friendly interests. while policy Of exclusion
only give rise to prospects OF forcibe entry.
1t appears from Mr. Fosters despatch that
three different American companies pro-

purposes in Mexico since the Diaz government
into power. These William J. Palmer Il
Co.. Ferguson Lymon and II. H. Hall. All have
met with opposition in the Mexican Congress and
have failed to perfect the sproposed charter.
So is the ruling party to railroad

o railroad connecting with the railroad system OF
this country was refused, and the company was
quired to make its terminus at Tampico Mata-
moras. Mr.. Foster quotes from speech by Mr..
Chavero, Speaker OF the Mexican House, who de-
clared last May that cit is very poor policy and
very injudicious to establish within country .

fear the United States and that the Palmer

Notwithstanding the extraordinary financial deficit

nullifcs all suspicious against him as Christian
or good citizen. No ono for o moment entertains

out establishing precedent for other bishops who
may hereafter claim like assistance without having

Cardinal call upon the people OF New York to make

THE sPEAKERSHIP QUESTIoN-MR. RANDALLS
opPoNENrs~FKFL1NG AMONG THE soUrHERx-
ERs.
The contest for tho speakcrship develops no new
feature to-day The fact is there arc no arrivals Of
Congressman as yet with whom to do the persuasive
work of tho canvass. and in the absence of such
material it is easy to see that making head.
way for the Speakership is dificuit
than the manufacture Of bricks without straw.
Mr.. Randall got here this afternoon. but
is proceeding lesurcly in the matter Of opening
headquarters. He hos engaged rooms at the National
Hotel but he has not visited them yet, and will
not rake possession OF the before tomorrow st the
earliest.
1t is believed thsa Mr.. Randall's greatest difculty
will lie. not IN the opposition Of Mr.. Blackburn. but
in the hostility Of such as tamong others) Mr..
Morrison. of Illinois. and Mr.. Cox, OF New York.
whom he neglected to make chairmen Of COM
ing to such positions rival candidates for
tho spcakcrship. He is also antagonized by
such men rs Mr.. Cobb. Of Indiana, and others who
are quoting to the Western men the record and
speeches of Mr. Randall in opposition to free trade
There is, besides, bitterly hostile clique of Msss-
sppians who will not forget his refusal to let them
retort upon Mr.. Bragg. of Wisconsin. few weeks
ago. and who are angry with him for hts antisubsidy
and anti-levce principles These men say they are
not children to be schooled by Mr. Randall and that
they are as qualified no Ia to pass upon the
questions Of extravaganza and jobbery. One
OF these Mississippians Mr. Manning. has received
open letter from Mr.. McCarile, formerly cditor OF
tho vicksburg Herald. counselling him to stand by
Mr. Blackburn and to disregard the caution that the
democracy must not insist upon . Southern man for
Speaker; otherwise the Southern Representatives
would be rcpudiated by their constituents for not
insisting upon o right to which their strength OF
over q hundred on the hoor Of the House entities
them.
The indications are that thero will be much
hostility to Mr.. Randall from this that, while
he may not fail Of getting the caucus nomination.
he will be unable to get tho entire democratic vote
in the House the day of beginning the session
and that there will bc q consequence no immc-
diate choice of Speaker. This is tho programme ~
predicted by the malcontcnts, but Mr.. Randalls
friends. who have bccn very reticent so far. are
credited with the possession of plan Of action
which leaves chance for his defeat

ARCHBISHOP PURCELL.

SECOND MEETING OF THE PRIESTS OF THE OHIO
DIOCESE TO MATURE ARRANGEMENTS FOE
RAISING FUNDs-ALLEGED IRREGULARITIES
CHARGED AGAINST FATHER EDWARD PURCELL.
by TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD
CINCINNATI. Ohio. March IL, 1879.
The meeting of priests called to-day at the Church
of the Holy Trinity by the two Wears general of this
diocese was not large they had hoped and ex-
pected but still IT the beginning of movement
in aid of the Archbishop that promised to
become general throughout this diocese and the
State. The plan adopted substantially the
that telegraphed to the HERALD last night II is pro-
posed to have the clergy of the diocese who shall
re,cive funds act trustees for them, and pay
money collected to the most needy of
the depositors. each priest paying to those in his
own congregation. This meeting presided over
by Father HALEY. of the Wears general. and
Father Ulrch acted secretary Most Of those pres
ent were the priests of German congregations.
SERIOUS CHARGES AGAINsr FATHER EDWARD PURCELL.
But the most startling thing that has been devel-
oped in connection with the Archbshops misfor
tunes was brought out at this meeting. 1t
stated by OF those who were present that he had
como into possession of facts that would show
that Father Edward Purcell had converted funds
placed his hands for safe keeping to his own
use. and was liable to be arrested therefore, on
criminal charge. The circumstances related to
the HERALD reporter are these:-Some years ago
wealthy lady Of fortune. a convert to Rome. had
In her possession $G0,000 $4,000
in government bonds Fearing to deposit
them in a bank or safe deposit vault, she
cudcd to place them in Father Edwards hands. with
the understanding that often the interest
due she would clip of the coupons and
THUS draw her income, leaving the bonds
with him. These bonds nowhere
to be found, and of the priests at the meeting
to-day said positively that Father Edward had
verted them into money and used them in the pay
ment Of debts.
Another is that of member of the Church
named O'Nei who died some time ago. leaving an es-
tate of $4,000. Father Edward appointed admin
istrator of his estate and went and settled it up
No heirs were known Mt the time, and the money went
the rest had gone-to the payment of debts. Now
heir turns up for the estate, and his claim cannot
be questioned. but the money is gone. Still another
and more laInentable is that of the funds
gathered up for the orphans at fair held here
months ago. These funds. amounting to 81, ,S00
intrusted to Father Edward for safe keeping to be
drawn the necessities of the Orphan Asylum
duired, and they, too. are gone These damaging
charges were made at the meeting to-day, which was
q secret one. and though many of Father Edwards
friends were present, mono OF them denied their
truth. He himself not there, having gone
up to the Notre Dame Seminary, in Brown county.
tits probable that he may have some explanation to
offer Of the saddest things connected with
this that anything like this should be charged
upon the Arrhbishop's brother at this time.
