The scene Of action in the famous
Journal scandal will be shifted from
America by the departure of M Bour.
geois, an officer Of the police judiciary
OF Brussels, on the steamer Belgenland
for Antwerp to-day. He takes back
to Belgium nearly 100000, in cash
and securities, which was embezzled as
is alleged, from the Bishop of Journal
by Canon Leon j. Bernard and which
was deposited by the latter in this city.
In 1880 Pope Leo suspended Bishop
Dumont from the See of Journal and
appointed Mgr. du Rousseaux in his
place. A controversy between the
two ecclesiastics ensued and, as Bishop
Dumont could not induce his success
sor to give up certain property be,
longing to the See, a number Of legal
actions were begua. The old Bishor
even went SO far as to complain Of
enlightenment to the police, who treat.
ed the charge as the eccentricity of an
aged man.
While affairs were in this condition
the new bishop caused Canon Der
nard to be appointed treasurer, and tc
him was intrusted the treasure of the
diocese, valued at 1000, 0O0f or $780,
900. Bernard kept the treasure al
his own residence until early in March
1881. When he learned that Mg'l
Dumont had applied for its produc,
ton, and that an inventory would
probably be made, he suddenly disap.
peared. Fearing the scandal which
would be attached to the fight of an
ecclesiastical official under such cir
cumstances the church authorities
kept the matter quiet for while, but
at last they were forced to make il
public and the case was put in the
hands of the police. Steps we're at
once taken to apprehend the fugitive.
1t was learned that Bernard had gone
to New York, and dignitary of the
church was dispatched In pursuit,
When he reached America the envoy
found that Bernard had gone to
Quebec, Canada, and had engaged a
lawyer to negotiate for q settlement
with the Belgian government. This
lawyer went to Brussels and offered to
relinquish to Bishop lumont sixty
per cent of the money on condition
that all claim to the balance should
be renowned. The prelate indig-
nantly refused to treat with the law
yer, and caused him to be arrested
and kept in close confinement until
news reached the government of Der
nards capture. A patient investiga,
ton disclosed the fact that the LAWYER
had deposited 100000 francs at the
Credit Lyonnais in Paris and ], 600.
600 francs in a London bank.
Through due legal process both of
these sums were seized in the name
Of the King Of Belgium, leaving nearly

by curiosity seekers. When the trans

LAND GRANTS.

Company.
Special to the Courier. journal.

NfSbAoA W
WASHINGTON, April 29.-It il
stated that the Southern Pacific raj
way company is trying to get posses
sion Of the Texas Pacific land grant
in Arizona, New Mexico and Califor
MIA. 1t will be remembered that the
Texas Pacific made an assignment TO
the Southern Pacific of ali its right.
title and interest in the land grant,
and that at the last session Of Con-
gress bill was before Congress allow
ing the Southern Pacific TO consolidate
all the lines which make up its line.
1t was thought at the time that this
attempt at consolidation had some
thing to do with obtaining the land
grant. The Texas Pacific would have
had a land grant had it built its line
Through to California. The Southern
Pacific claims the land grant because
it built road through and because
the grant was assigned to it by the
Texas Pacific. 1t is alleged that the
Southern Pacific claims that the rea.
sons set forth in the letter Of The
Attorney General, deciding that the
New Orleans Pacific was entitled Il
the back bone" land grant in Louisi
ana, are sufficient to justify the giyinG
Of the Texas Pacific land grant to Tho
Southern Pacific. 1t declares, in fact
that the two cases are analogous,
