Archbishop Purcell's Creditors Disbelieve tbe Doctrine That "God Is Not Bound to Pny Debts**—Arch bishop Kbler Denounced. Cincinnati, August 1.—The intense feel ing with which the creditors of the estate of the late Archbishop Purcell hnve re garded the defaulting assignee, and tbe va rious hindrances in tbo way of getting their just debts from the estate, broke out in a most extraordinary and sen-ationul way in a meeting which they held this sfteftioon snd which was attended by about 400 per sons. As soon as the regular order of bnsi- ness hnd been dispatched u bomb was thrown into tbe deliberations m the shape of the following remarkable document, di rected to the Pope of Rome: To tbo Sovereign Pontiff, Leo XIII, Pope of Romo— Illustrious Father of the Roman Catholic Church: We approach you with much diffidence tnd due respect to lay before you our petition for the removal of William Henry Elder, archbishop of Cincinnati, to some more congental sphere ot use fulness. You sent him here without consulting the wishes or advice ot Catholics. They ars asked to support a’l the institutions of the Catholic church without having a voice In the choice of their eccle siastical rulers. These are sent to u« without the slightest reference to tbo consent or welfare of tho people, who have to pay a hea*y price for their maintenance In the highest style or celestial dignity. Archbishop Elder came here as coadjutor of Pur cell, anil plotted against his superior. The- latter said his debts of |4,uuO,OUO were diocesan and should be paid by the church. Arch bishop Elder says they were net diocesan debts, and must not be paid bv tbe church. He demanded of the assignee to al low the judgment of the lower court to stand which would rob th* creditors and turn over all the diocesan property to himself. With other United States bishops he has seized snd held for seven years funds collected in 1879 for tbe Archbishop’s creditors. Thia he declared was to be used in buy ing in churches sold by the court, and then denies it through through the public press.

The Department of State lint received the following interesting dispatch from Minis ter McLane, at Paris, relntivo to the Pana ma canal: Lioinns or the United States, Pabis, July 0, 18KG.—Sit: The department ia aware that about a year ago M. de Lcssepa applied to the French government for tho authori zation to issue a lottery loan of six hundred millions of francs to complete the Panama canal. In making this application M. do Lcs-eps plated substantially that the cost of the canal would not surpass the original es timate of one thousand and seventy millions of franoa; that about one-hal f of the whole work was done with an expenditure of less than fivo huodred millions, and that, ac cording to a moderatocalculation, the cnnal when perfected would pay liberally its shareholders. Before acting upon that ap plication tho French government commissioned M. Kousscnu, late under secretary of state and chief engineor in tho civil service, to examine the condi tion of the work undertaken by tbo canal company, and to report thereon. M. Rousseau, after having proceeded to Pan ama, reported that the completion of the canal was possible, and that in his opinion the government was morally bound to en courage the enterprise, although it ought not to take any responsibility in the mat ter. 51. Roussein, however, did not con ceal his belief that the caDal could no be terminated within the limit of time and of expenditnre estimated by the company, un less the original plan be set aside and the canal made with locks. The technical com mittee of the Panama Company, to which the French government also applied for an expression of opinion, stated that tho six hundred millions asked for would at least enable the company to bring tho enter prise to a point where success would be as sured. Upon these statements tho government, after some hesitation, consented to grant " s authorization* applied .'or.

They have often seen the water tix inches deep in a gutter or a foot deep in a cellar, so that a little three-inch shower b looked upon ns a very insignificant affair. Let' look at the figures a moment. By an easy mathematical calculation it may be detuon- atrated that n rainfall of three inohes, or ntber ot three and n quarter inches, aa now ometaiiy reported tor n recent norm, is equivalent to nbout 88,250 gallons to tha square acre, or 50,430,000 gal lons to the square mile, enough to fill 1.412,000 forty-gallon barrels. Kill- mating the weight of thi- enormous rainfall at the old accepted rate of a pint to • pound, we tiud it to be '225,020 tons, or almost three times tbe wtight of tbo Washington Monument. Thu is a single square mile, remember.

The minister of public works expressed some astonishment at this lan guage, and declared that he wonld speak in favor of the bill M. Ronsseau, who was called next, expressed himself more decid edly than In his report. He declared that tic canal coaid not be terminated by the time and with the means originally esti mated by the company, and added that mnch more than six hundred millions and three years of labor would bo necessary to complete the work, unless the lock system was adopted, which would in sure a saving of four hundred millions. With reference to tho United State, M. Roussean said that the morion mado in the House by Mr. King expressed the individual opinion of that gentleman, who undoubted ly was not aware that In taking the iuitia- ttvo of the measure now proposed France did not, by any means, Intend to interfere in American affaire, or to assume either a right or ownership over the cuts), or a right of coutrol or of guarantee, and that the vuto the Chamber of Deputies i* requested to live Is simply a formality made necessary >y tbe French code, which forbids, witt out sDeoisl legislation, any loan in lottery bonds. The United State's, he added, are nndonbt- edly nnfavoreble to the enterprise being pursued under the auspices of France, bnt uuvrrihelevs no violent inteiferebce ou their part is to be feared. In it* a. end sitting the committee heard 51. de Freycinet, who wa* asked by the chairman to explain the position of tbe canal oimpany with regard to both tbe French and American government*. In reply to the first question* the president of the couucll repeated in more emphatic terms what had already been said by 51. Ronsaean, that alth-ingh the government wonld attp- port the hill authorizing the loan, it did not assume any responsibility, moral or finan cial, in the enterprise, wbioli was u private one, and over which the government hail no control whatever. It was, however, an en terprise by which France might derive par ticular advantages. If, for tostauoe, th* Suez canal wa* closed, the communication* ot France with China and Indo-China would bo insured through the Panama canal. It waa, there fore, a political undertaking of great magui- tnde, in which the good name of Fr toco is at Btuke, and Us collapse would certainly injure li-r influence to America; on the con trary, it* success would increase French prestige. The chairman having remarked that while the government wa* positive in declining any responsibility in tha matter, it leeniet] to act in a way which implied such respon nihility, 51. de Freycinet insisted that this view could b« maintained only by mianu- demanding the question. The gov ernment, he said, waa not aaked either to give to tbe company the right to make a loan r-r to recommend that loan; it was simply requested to txtend to the c unpany tha same facilities extended formerly to ths Su z Canal Company nndcr like circumstance-; that is to say, the privi- lege of making * loan in a peculiar way. Referring to the motion cl Mr. King, 5L de Freycinet said that he had received rom the French legation at Washington no par ticular itif irmalion upon the subject. There existed uo difficulty betwocn the United Stile* anil thn company, and he did not ad mit the ripht of interference by tbe former. In the third sitting ot the committee 51. Jacqm-t, oue of the m-iatdi* im.uiid.i-d mgi eerre of France, and one of the directors of the canal, expressed tbe opiuion that these works could tot lie te rminuted within the time state.', and that .ixHimidred millions asked for at present wonld be insufficient, particularly if the level plan wn not set aside for the lock system. 51 .Is Lesssps, who wasbrard *fterwards,wa« postive.on tho contrary that the caual would be finished without locks as origmaHy pr posed, both as regard to time and expenditnre. With ref. recce to the at'itnd* of the United State-*, the old gentleman gave to the com mittee * lecture on the Monroe doctrine, which he explained to bis sati.faction at least, and concluded by asserting that noth ing waa to be feared on that score. Tho oommittee, aa stated above, is hostile to the loan. Eight of it* members out of eleven Wf I* “ lect * d *» oppoa.l to the measure, aod the proceedings show that a major ity Of six are still against it, but such an outside prc-Mire has been brought to bear upon them that, the friend* of the canal expect to carry their point.
