Baptist Church of New York, says the
wise system of rotation in Office, by
whice Bishop Keane was retired from
the CHARACTERISTIC of the Catholic Uni

authorities in Rome are still under the
control of the Jesuits, and that that So
ciety is still medieval, intolerent, and
implacable." Not content with having
transformed his pulpit into republi-
can partisan stump, the preacher re-
ferred to varied his yesterdays devo-
lions by a fling at the Catholics.

THE STORM.

The predicted hurricane along the
Atlantic coast did not do the damage
done the week before by the other storm.
There was, however, much marine loss
aud of Delaware Breakwater yesterday
morning three men were drowned by
the laundering Of the schooner Luther
A. Loby. During the gale the schooner
struck near the point of Cape Henlo
pen, and was wrecked by the force Of
heavy seas. The captain and four sea
men were rescued by the life savers.
The coast was swept from Florida
north, but the storm will probably
spend itself to-day around PASSPORT,
Me. The storm which was expected
here did not arrive with the same We
locity that most people imagined ii
would after the warning issued by the
Weather Bureau. The storm, which
had increased to a hurricane down in
North Carolina, was reported to be
moving northward at such a rapid rate
that it would strike the city with great
force yesterday morning. The storm
missed Alexandria because it shift
ed and went along the coast.
1t increased in energy during yesler-
day, and gradually swept northward.
Winds Of hurricane velocity were re-
ported last night from the Virginia
coast to Southern New England, at
tended by heavy rains. A penetrating
wind accompanied the rain in east
ern Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Mary
land, Delaware and Virginia yesterday,
and the weather bureau predicts its
continuance from the northeast, with
probably increased velocity today, ac-
companied by more rain. More serious
weather is predicted for New England
and New York, but west the weather
will be fair Incoming steamers at the
Atlantic ports report that the storm
at sea was one of the worst of the sea
son. The great steamers were half
buried under the waves and the pas
sengers were forced to stay in the cabins.
Hampton Roads is full of stormboupd
craft of every description, from yachts
and schooners to big steamships. The
fury of the gale outside was shown By
the great tides that yesterday inundat-
ed all the low portions of Norfolk. The
harbor was a raging mass of whitecaps,
and the water rose over all except the
highest wharves, doing much damage.
as goods could not be moved beyond
reach of the flood fast enough.

IT Is now said that of the train load
of excursionists sent by the railroads
and Mr.. Hanna from the Valley of Vir-
ginia to Canton, to call upon the man
who boasts that he was with Sheridan
in the Valley, and who voted and spoke
for the force bill, very few were e1-Con-
federates, and that OF those few, nearly
all had long since followed Malone,
Riddleberger and Cameron out of the
democratic, and into the republican
party, so that the music which greeted
their ears on their arrival at Major Nc
Kinley's home, Marching through
Georgia" and John Browns Spirit is
Marching on" was not at all disagree
able to them. The band, however, that
accompanied them, the Stonewall,
should change its name, that is if its
members be at all superstitious.

ARCHBISHOP IRELAND, who abandon
ed his diocese two years ago TO come to
New York and enter actively upon the
republican campaign against the demo
cratic ticket in that State, finds it inn
possible to confne himself to his legitl-
mate church duties, but must needs
again take part in i'll natured and Sec
tional politics. He now sa-s: 1.-The
movement which had its expression in
the Chicago convention, and which
now seeks to enthrone itself in the cap,
ital of the nation, is in its logical effect
against the United States; it is seces'
sion, the secession of 1861, which our
soldiers believed they had consigned to
eternal death at Appomattox, but
which demands again recognition from
the American people" 1t is not
at all wonderful that the Christ,
ian religion should have less control
over mems actions now than formerly
when some of its preachers, Catholic
and Protestant alike, prostitute their
high calling to the low imposes OF sell
fshuess, bate and partisanism. 1t will
