The Case of Archbishop Purcell.

In this sore trouble that has overtaken
his old age, Archbishop PURCELL has the
sympathy Of all just men without dstinc-
ton Of sect. Narrow and bitter indeed
would be the bigotry that could exult in II,
or seek to make UNCONVENTIONAL capital
out OF IL. No more supplemented, guile
less man than JOHN PURCELL ever stood NJ
the altar. For over half a century he has
been the faithful shepherd OF souls, the
father OF the poor, pinching and impoverlsh-
ing himself in order 10 minister TO the
destitute and suffering. No tale Of distress
ever foun1 his ears deaf or his purse strings
tied. Now, at the end OF a long life luml-
nous and fragrant with good works, this
calamity has fallen upon him, to bring his
gray hairs with sorrow 10 the grave. Such
life should have had different ending.

brother nor | have spent one cent Of church
or trust money for ourselves, nor have we

Ignorance and helplessness in money mat

business ability he had an unquestioning
Oonildouce-all the more unquestloning be-
cause he found 1t shared by his priests
and people. 1t is only in this sense that he
has brought his calamity upon himself.
For all that yet appears, this brother is as
innocent of conscious, wllful wrongdoing in
the premises as the Archbishop himself.

Tho fight between Col. DOM PIATT and
Mr. WILLIAM McGARRAHAN ON Wednesday
night, in lobby reserved for Senators only,
is understood to have sprung from the
clashing Of Col. PIATr's citation with Mr.,
MCGARAHAN's chagrin over a check given
that night TO the latter's bill Of relief.
The BILL which had been set back by n IA
tally interposed objection, is one OF the
most interesting ever introduced in regard
TO tho famous MCGARRAHAN claim. The
Panoche Grande tract has been occupied by
the New Idrla Company for more than
twenty years, during which time MCGAR-
RAHAN has pressed his claims 20 its owner
ship under an old Spanish grant, the value Of
the quicksilver mines being spur enough to
keep up tho contest under repeated Hcleats
in Congress and the courts.
MCGARRAHAN, the claimant, set up his
title against the United States, an attitude
which gave the New ldria Company an ad-
establish his pretensions left it in posses
sion which seemed TO depend ON and TO be
equal WITH the right of the United States as
thus attacked. The popularity of the pend
ing bill Is that it sets up the right Of the
United States to the ownership, and con-
templates trying the title of tho New Idria
Company as well as the claim OF McGARRA-
HAN. This project has proceeded on the
idea that the New Idria Company, in de-
fcatng MCGARRAHAN, never established its
own title; that it has occupied the lands
merely by right of possession; and that the
rights of the United States have been un-
duly lost sight OF.
This plan of settlement has been mooted
before, but defeated by the New Idria Com
! pany, which was content to work the ricl

However, point was scored for Mc(iARRA-
HAN a short time since by the reporting
OF a bill OF the desired character in both
Houses, we believe, but in the Senate only
by minority OF tho Committee. This bill
assumed the ownership Of the lands to be in
the United States, and authorized any
claimant thereto to bring his euit within
three months to the Court Of Claims, which,
for the purposes Of that SUIT, was to be
clothed with equity powers sufficient TO give
full relief. II more than one claimant should
appear, the suits were TO be consolidated
and the titles tried together; and decision
in favor OF either was TO put him in posses
sion, while decision in favor OF the United
states was to put tho lands I'm the hands OF

empowered to appeal TO the Supreme Court,
aud the Attorney General was directed to
80 appeal in case of a decision adverse to
the United States.
The fato OF this project, had II come to
final action, can only be surmised. On the
one side Il would have been advocated rs an
absolutely fair and absolutely decisive
proposition II the New Idria Company
had valid title, short work would estab-
lish It; II it had none, these valuable lands
should go TO the people. On the other hand,
it would have been opposed as q device to
try again n cause already settled
Just now, all that is clear is that cause
which has been score Of years in Congress

feeling lawyers, procuring testimony and
persuading Congressman, has wound up for

il that SHERE ALI Is dead. Tho news will not
take anybody concerned by surprise. as it was
reported some time ago that the fugitive Ameer
was dangerously i'll. The mental strain Of the
past year and the superaddod excitements and
hardships of flight proved too much for a con-
stitution already enfcebled.
IL Is sixteen years now since the dying DosT
MoHAMsrED left the throne Of Aighanistan to
his son but 1t was not until after six years Of
fighting and intriguing that SHERE ALI finally
worsted the rival claimants and secured the
recognition Of the British Government Even
then his sceptre proved n thorny one. Nine
years ago the son who now announces his death
rebelled against him. but the English patched
up a peace between them. His recent follies
and mlsiortunes are fresh in the minds OF every
reader.
A few months ago Punch had a cartoon. in
which two locomotives. England and Russia.
were seen approaching each other on the same
track. In front OF the latter locomotive was
strapped poor SHEBR ALI as buffer. He has in

they play buffer for big ones.

CASANAVE.

On our first page we give a lengthy
account of Casanave's visit to Wash
ington, and its object. This Casan-
ave is negro undertaken and livery
stable keeper in New Orleans. He
was one of the Returning Board who
sold the electoral vote Of Louisiana
to Hayes. His three partners in the
infamous transaction were Anderson,
Wells and Kenner. This trio have
been paid for their dirty work by the
fraudulent administration. They and,
as Casanave testifes, fifty of their
family connections, are all occupying
positions under the Government
The four were indicted for their crime,
and, in the language of the Philadel-
phia Times, shut for the technical de-
Tense devised by able counsel, they
would have been sent to the peniten-
tiary, while the administration, which
is the creation of the Board, would
have been covered with lasting dis
grace That defense cost $4,000,
which could not be collected from
Wells, Anderson and Kenner, who
have no property, and for which their
counsel has secuced judgement
against Cassanave. To pay the judg-
ment would deprive him of his all,
and Cassanave, not content to be thus
made begger, has been in Washing
ton for some weeks, trying to compel
the members Of the administration,
the beneficiaries of his crime, to pay
it for him. A part of the sum has
been contributed by Republican Of
ficials, and the Collector of the Port
of New Orleans has been telegraphed
to from the Treasury to advance an
other part out of the public funds in
his hands,. Secretary Sherman said
to an interviewer, Wednesday that it
would all be paid, that sit is damn
ed cowardly piece of business for the
Republicans to be afraid to help Cas-

culture is but to know the soil, the
elements or component parts Of the
various cereals and other products of
that soil. This knowledge being ac-
quired, it is easy to know the proper
adaptation Of crops to that soil. Why
then are not young men, and old men

infallible adaptation of crops to that
soil, but also, in case it does not con-
tain the elements Of the crop he wish

how to supply the deficiency. Then,
why not cause, or rather let the light
of true Science shed her Heavenly
rays, upon this God born but neglect

her native supremacy, then, will our
intelligent, stalwart young men come
back from the colleges, and the
paths of educated idlness; knowing
both how to live and how to make
living. Then, the implements of
war, shall be beaten into "plough

Gated idleness shall succumb to intel
