Turned PrOtestanf.

A special despatch from Baltimore,
Maryland, says: A detection from Ro-
man Catholicism to Professionalism is
rare in the history of the Catholic
Church, at least in this diocese, the
last having occurred several years
ago and created at the time somwhat
of a sensation in religious circles.
Late last evening it was ascertained
that letter of resignation had bsen
sent to Archbishop Gibbons by the
Rev. Johann Hodja, Roman Catholic
priest, pastor of the Bohemian Catholic
Church of St. Wencsslans. This church
was erected few years ago for the spe-
cial use Of Bob em,ans, and at the re.
quest of the Archbishop, Father Hodia
came from Bohemia some eight months
ago and accepted the permanent pastor
ship. Recently he determined to en-
brace the Protestant faith, and day
or two ago formally renounced the
Catholic religion in the Trinity street
German Evangelical Lutheran church.
with which denomination he has asso
ciated himself. The detection has been
kept very quiet, efforts having been
made to prevent its gaining publicity.
Father Hodja is 81 years of age, and is
said to be ripe scholar and au able
theologian.

WHOLESALE SEIZURE.

The q. n. Government Oficials OF
Philadelphia make u Raid Upon
the Property OF the Reading
Railroad COmFRay for Unpaid
Taxes.
Yesterday morning Deputy U. S.
Revenue collector John +. Cline, acting
under instructions of U. S. Internal
Revenue collector James Ashworth, went
to Port Richmond and seized % locomo-
tives belonging to the Reading Railroad
Company for the uon n-payment Of Inter
nal Revenue tax. 1t appears that dur
ing the past year the Reading Railroad
company, as shown by their last annu-
al report, have issued upwards of s5,-
900, 900 OF wages certificates, which the
government officials held, under the
law to partake of the character of circu-
lation, aud, as such, liable to tax of
10 per centum. This tax has not bee
paid, the formal notification of indebt-
edness from the collector meeting with
no response from the Railroad Compa-
ny.
Eleven engines that were actually in
use we're among the number seized, but
the company were granted the privi-
lege of running them between Second
street and the wharf at Port Richmond.
The Government claim for taxes has
not yet been made against the entire
amount of wages certificates issued, but
only against the first lot, amounting to
about 81 600, 900 on which the taxes
are about 100000. The property
seized ia advertised for sale by the U.
S. Internal Revenue Collector, but the
company have twenty days within
which to pay up and stop ethe sale.
They cannot enter security for the pay
ment of the claim, or be in a position
to contest its validity unless payment
is first made.
On the part of the railroad company
it is said that the first issue of the Ger.
tificates was in December, 1878. They
were in the form of promissory notes,
running for six months aud bearing in
terest. They were redeemable at ma
'turity, or could also be used in the
payment of debts in either the Reading
Railway Company or Reading Coal and
Iron Company, and it was that clause,
being payable to either of these compa-
nies, that led the Government to make
the assessment upon it. The matter of
the seizure will take its legal course,
and hearing will probably be had at
an early day. The operations of the
road meanwhile are not being interfered
with to any extent.
