PETERS OHURCH, JERSEY CITY. @ermon by Father Renaud, 8. J.—“Woe to That Man by Whom Scandal Cometh.” In St. Peter’s church, Jersey City, a solemn mass was celebrated, at half-past ten o’clock, by Father McQuade. The sermon was preached by Father Renaud, who took his text from the Gospel of the ‘day, “Woe to that man by whom scandal cometh; At were better for him that a millstone were tied ‘about mis neck and he Were cast into the depths of ‘the sea.” The crime of bad example is so common 4n the world that people would be almost inclined to douvt the enormity of it did not Christ Himself expressly déclare it in the woras just quoted. ‘There are three kinds of scandal—Pharisaical candal, scandal of the weak and malicious scandal. ‘The first named 13 60 called because it was common ‘to the Pharisees. It consists in a finding fault even ‘with the good which we find in otners, The second kind gives bad example where there is no intention to ‘do so. For instance, a person allowed to eat ‘meat by dispensation on a fast day does so in pres- ‘@pce of others who do not Know the reasons, and he 4s guilty of scandal. The third and MOST WICKED KIND ‘Ms malicious scandal, where’ @ person has the de- Uberate intention of inciting others to sin, or where she does something Which may conduce to the com- mission of sin. Joho Chrysostom says that God overlooks other sins, but scandal He never over- looks. Another holy father tells us that the scandal iver 18 more gullty than the murderer of the body, $ecause he robs God of the souls which were created to enjoy Him in heaven. Another expressly Aeclares that such persons are WORSE THAN THE JEWS, ecause the Jews did not know they were crucifying ‘their Lord, whereas the scandal giver crucified Him an His living members. When a person gives scan- ‘dal he renders nugatory the work of God's redemp- stion, and destroys the souls which He had purchased ‘at the price of His blood, It may be said with trath that the scandal giver ts worse tnan Lucifer him- elf, because tue former employs many allurements ‘to decoy souls tnte run, The scandal which is very common among us is that of parents toward their Jebiidren, masters toward their servants and CATHOLICS TOWARD PROTESTANTS. Many Protestants are kept outof the true falth by Mhe bad example which they see in Catholics, When ‘they look around and see Catholics MAKING A GOD OF THEIR BELLY, it any wonder they should say that Catholics are 0 better than the rest of mankind’ This, in itself, nvoives a terrible responsibility, And what shail ‘be sald of the criminality of parents whose example “wili be the destruction of the souls of their children? ‘The terrinle warnings conveyed in the Sertptures and in the writings of the holy jathers show us ‘very clearly the devestation im which God holds the g@candal giver.

It stated ‘that he would not allow them the services of a resident pastor until such \me as the bitter feelin existing between the pratical and non-practical Members Was at an end. This explains the tem- qporary absence of Father O'Sullivan. 81, PETER'S SOHOOL8, JERSEY CITY, ‘The parochial schools attached to St. Peter's church, Jersey City, will be reopened to-day.

Seoretary Boutwell’s Artillery to Cover the Op- erations of the Syndicate—The Syndicate Job Foretold by the Herald Years Ago— A Few Very Plain Questions. WASHINGTON, Sept. 2, 1871. Mr. Secretary Boutwell’s order calling in one hundred miition dollars of five-twenty bonds serves @ double purpose, It is a sort of an artillery to cover and protect the operations of the Syndicate, and at the same time it can be used to an excellent advantage as material for his promised campaign speeches. To be sure, he might as well have called im that amount two and a half years agu and saved $6,000,000 per year, or $15,000,000 by this time, He has had about one hundred million dollars lying idle in the Treasury ever since he has been in office, with more than enough to meet the current govern- ment expenses coming in every day from an over- taxed and long suffering people. Why did ne not call in that hundred millions two and a half years ago? Simply because the Treasury ring—now calied the Syndicate—was not prepared witn the proper manipulating machinery. This ring job was fore- told in the HERALD years ago. Turn to page 3 of the issue of November 20, 1868, and you will fina the following:— f ‘There was some talk here afew months since of the establishment of a great American banking house in London, with Mr. McCulloch at the head, provided certain matters then in adjustment turned out satistactory—not to put too fine point upon itt, f the Funding bili could be gee through ina shape that would give the new house a job, The vill Jailed, but ti nia 8 are tn hopes of getting it through before New Year in a **satigfactory shape," so that i¢ 13 sibie the Secretary may find most excellent pickings outside the Department. In the course of ttme the Funding bill was wor- ried through Congress, under the pretence of re- ducing the interest of our public debt. The great “American Banking House” was accordingly estab- lished in London, and our Secretary of the Treas- ury has given the projectors the very job that the HERALD years ago said was in contemplation, ‘The Syndicaters have been fishing for the job for the past three years, and have but just got nold of it. In the first place the Fanding bill they first tried, and which they hoped to get through before the close of 1868, falled altogether. It was too bad for the average Congressional stomach. The people were s0 disgusted with the ring’s secret manipulations of government § funds and bonds for mere speculative purposes that Congress was more than usually cautious. An effort was really made to pass an honest Funding bill—a bill that wouid reduce our interest burden and not give favorite brokers a chance to use gov- ernment funds to bull and bear our industries for thelr own profit, It was not, therefore, until Janu- ary 20, 1871, that the bill could be passed, whitch, in conjunction with the old designated depository law, was found satisfactory to the ring—not exactly satisfactory, but the best they could get, THE NEXT STEP was to give the ring exclusive control of the busl- ness. It could not be done at once; a plausible ex- cuse must first be found, Accordingly the loan was put upon the market. A.large number of the most respectavie bankers in the Union were appointed agents, but the terms offered them were such tnat Mr. Boutwell very well knew they could not suc- ceed. The French anu German war was raging, the market was tn just about the worst possible condl- tion and the agents were allowed only one-fourth of one per cent commission, only half the amount al- lowed by taw. ‘The new bonds were delivered to the agents Only upon THE PAYMENT IN GOLD At par in case of purchase, or the delivery of old bonds in cases where conversion only was sought. The interest stopped on the old bonés and com- menced on the new the instant the exchange was made. For example, if you converted $100,000 you were allowed tuterest on the oid vonds to the date ol Wie teeen ne | an‘ charged with accrued interest on tne new bonds up tothe same date. The govern- ment didn’t thus lose & Cent, Such were the terms first offered. it is possible that the old agents might have succeeded at one quarter per cent com- mission, if opportumity had been given them to operate in the improved market afew months af- ter the close of the European war. lt is certain that they couJa have done tar better than the Syndi- cate if the same market and terms had been of- fered; but no such terms or Opportunity was once offered or hinted at by Secretary Boutwell; he very evidently intended they should not succeed. A few days ago, When the Kuropean struggle was finally settled and the foreign money market visibly im- proved, Mr. Boutwell summarily broke up the old agencies, withdrew the bulk of the loan ($1,800,000,000) from the market, ‘reserved’ $50,000,000 for the national banks and placed the balance in the hands of the Syndicate upon terms that they could not fail to make money at. THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE, by all odds the most influential repub!ican paper in the West, gives the following clear statement of Mr. Boutwell's terms to the Syndicate:— The net result of all the negotiations of the Secretary of the Treasury seems to be that he has given up the attempt to negotiate the loan in the ordinary manner, and has turned the business over to the American “Syndicate,’? Tt the terns of the negotiation have been correctly reported these gen- tlemen subscribed for 925,000,000 of the new five per cents and pay over the money, which, it ts presumed, will be immedi- ately deposited again with ‘the members of the Syndicate, who have been appointed government deposttors. The Bank act requires that national banks —desig- nated a depositories of — public money | shail deposit — United States bonds with the as urer of the United States as security therefor. Funding bill passed July 11, 1870, also provides that the fi twenty bonds which shail be designated tor redemption at par in gold, with the proceeds of the sale of the new tive per ts, shail bear interest tor ninety days aiter the date of the notice that they are called in for redemption, Now, if the Syndicate may subscribe for 825,000,000 of the fiveyper cents, pay over the money and immediately receive tt back again as A government deposit, and depuatt $25,000,000 of five-twen- tics of 182 with the Treasurer as ‘security for the de- posits, and have these five-twenties of desig- nated’ as the bonds to be redeemed with the money paid by them for the five per cents, {f this is the pro- gramme, it is plain that the “Syndicate” will be drawing eleven per cent on 825,000,000 invested, viz., five percent on the $25,000,000 of five per cents and six per cent on the $25,000,000 Or_ more of hive-twenties deposited as security for the government deposit. The feature which would take this ‘out of the ordinary mode of negotiation 1s, that by des hating the tive-twenties deposited as security for the govern- merit’ deposit the government practically guarantees that the Syndicat bankers shal not be called on for the government deposit during the ninety days. This seems to be the whove secret. Mr. Boutweil’s Syndicate negotiations for exchanging five-twenty bonds into five per cents will save the government not @ penny in interest for two years’ tine. It may be apparentto others, but the wisdom of this arr ment doce not impress us very powerfully. Tt te und ge Dt culy deep financiering, and requires immense fiscal talent to Work out so abstruse a scheme, but the gain to the Treasury Seems to have been overlooked. All complicated machinery encounters increased friction, and in the Syndicate scheme the friction appears to amount to two per cent of the whole transaction, whereas the law, contempiating a simpler method, only contemplated one-half per cent of friction. 1 have taken the siatement of Mr. Boutwell’s terms tothe Syndicate from the editorial columns of a leading republican paper. It 1s correct except in one particular, The Syndicate, so far as is known outside of the ring, does not “pay over money for the bonus and then receive it back on deposit; 1t Merely pays for tae bonds in certificates of deposit. No money is used in the transaction except to pay interest, commission and other expenses of the ring, and it all comes {rom the peopie’s treasury. ‘The mission of the Syndicate isto receive money; the business of the United States Treasury ts to pay it out. LITTLE WONDER, then, that the Syndicaters have “taken’’ $80,000,000 of the new bonds, It required no reat gold to do it. What Fisk, Jr., would cail “phantom gold” answers every purpose, Certificates of deposits of coin in national banks, When no such amounts of coin ex- ist, are easily writien, and are freely taken im ex- chang® for bonds. So tong as Secretary Boutweil holds the certificates and pays interest on the bonds the syndicaters are all right, and with @ monopoly of the market it will be &. great wonder if they cannot unload in ninety days and take up thelr certificates of deposit by turniog in am equal amount of old bonds. If they iat! in that what is easier than to get an extension of time, and let Secretary soutwell turn in the required amount of old bonds under yea- terday’s cail with the hundred millions surplus funds now in the Treasury? The new bonds have gone out, and in good time the old bonds will doubt- less be got in; but the taxpayers must surfer terrt- bly. The unofictal members of the ring are, how- ever, perfectly safe. ABOUT ROUTW the same can scarcely bg sad. e law of Congress authorizing the re-lunding of the pubite dept de- clates that the bonded debt shall pot for one mstant be increased, a to the extent Of one dollar or jor one hour. ry dollar of the bonded debt is, of course, represented by an outstanding bond. When- ever Secretary Houtwell issues a million dollars of new bonds in exchange for national bank cerun- cates of deposit he increases fhe debt; in fact, da- plicates if to that extent. Every dollar of the debt thus dapheated increases the interest burden to eleven per cent—six per cent on the oid and five per cent on the new bonas, Precisely how much of the pubiie debt is now repre- sented by two sets of outstanding interest bearing Donds it4s mpossinle to state—more than a score of militons, certainly. dust how Mr, Boutwell will answer to Congress for what now appears to be a wilful violation of law remains to be seen. Leading newspapers both ta the East and tn the tar West are seriously agitating the question of his IMPEACHMENT, The Chicago Tribune tersely says:—“Recetving at the Treasury checks for gold on banks where there no such junds, and holding the same while speculators make @ taid on the public creditors, is equivalent to lending goid out of the Treasury, and 4s contrary to law and an impeachable offence.” When leading repubiicam papers like the Chici Tribune vegin to taik about impeaching a republi- can Secretary of the Treasury tt may be considered certain that A CASR CAN BB MADE. Tregenry, clerks are said to be engaged in prepa ing figures and alieged tacts for Mr. Boutweil’s peeches tn this fall’s campaign. He ought to have au opportunity to answer the following, among other questions: ‘ First—by what authority of law do you tempora- rily increase the bonded debt by issuing bonds bear- ing five per cent interest in exchange for national bank certificates of deposit that bear uo interest? Second—What amount of our bonded debt have you thus duplicated, and how long do you expect to pay double interest on it? Third—Why did you not offer the bonds to the anode the same rates that you gave the Syn- ci Fourth—If the Syndicate arrangement was advan- fageous to the people why did you not make it Fifth—Why and by what authority do you refuse Subseriptions to the new loan when you have $1,300,000,000 yet untouched ? ‘Siath—Why do you think the affatrs of the Trea: sury Department suould be administered in the mterest of the taxpayers or the brokers who mani- Dulate the loans ?

Drendful Attempt te Murder by Placing Poison in the Family Milk Can—Ante-Mor- tem Statement of tie Victim—The Alleged Perpetrator Committed to the Tombs. At twenty minutes to four o'clock yesterday morn- ing Thomas Gornan Bennett was sitting up in his room at 315 Hast Thirty-seventh street, taking an early smoke and awaiting the arrivai of the milk- man. At four o’clock the milkman came, and in accordance with his usual custom placed the milk in a can on @ nail m the wal near the hall doorway of the first floor. immediately afterwards Bennett went out for the purpose of taking the milk into his room, and just as he placed his head out of the door he saw the re- treating figure of John Wall, another resident on tne same floor, passing into his room at a short distance up the passage. At this time Wal! was tn a semi- nude state, and seemed to rush away very cau- tlously, as though he feared Bennett would see him. Bennett took down the milk can, carried 1v into his room and took adrink, Five minutes after- wards he was SEIZED WITH VIOLENT VOMITING and purging and rolled aboutin great agony. His wile arose, and on his requesting her to send fora doctor she called Dr. Lindsay, who at once pro- nounced Bennett dangerously’ potsoned by taking Paris green. How had he taken it ? was the question He related the fact of nis being periectly well just previous to his taking the milk, and when the Doc- tor emptied the contents of the can he discovered a large quantity of PARIS GREEN STICKING TO THE BOTTOM. This was clear enough; but who had placea it there? The milkman had not, and he (Bennett) cer- tainly had not piaced it in the milk. The fact of his having had a quarrel with the man Wall now oc- curred to him, and he said he was almost certain Wall had done it, On Saturday evening, the 26th of August, Bennett said ne was passing to his apart- ments, when Wall assaulted him and thrust a chisel through his hat at the doorway and called him filtny names, at the same time saying, “I'll Nx you, you bloody Orangeman.” Wail then went to his room precipitately, while Bennett RUSHED IN AND PROCURED A REVOLVER from a trunk in his apartments, which he carried in his hand to the door of Watl’s place, and ordered him to come out. Wall didn’t come out, but con- tented himself by ‘jeering” at the other, who fired two shots through the shutters of the windows, but luckily without effect. Wall waited until Bennett had disappeared with hts pistol, and then called an otficer. who arrested Bennett and locked him up. A week ago yesterday Bennett was taken to a police court, his revolver was taken from him and he was held to bailin the suin of $2,000, Since this time the two men have only spoken to each other by evil looks and contracted brows, which inferred the love between them was very, very small. Hearing this revelation Dr. Lindsay informed Coroner Herrman of the circumstances attending the case, adding that as he feared Bennett WOULD Dik FROM THE EFPECTS OF THE POISON, it would be best to have his ante-mortem statement. taken. Accordingly, Coroner Herrman and Dr. John Beall ordered @ jury at the house of the sick man, when Bennett charged Wall with putting the ‘olson into the uilik with intent to destroy ns life, Vall was then handed over to an officer and com- mitted to tne Tombs to await the result of the pol- son on the system of the unfortunate Bennett. ‘The cause of the diMmcuity between the two men was stated to be in consequence of sennett being an Orangeman and Wall a determined Fenian, ANOTHER PROBABLE MURDER. About one o'clock yesterday morning a gang of Twenty-first ward roughs, while under the influence of drink, entered a liquor saloon at the corner of Thirty-fourth street and First avenue and quarrelled among themselves, One of the gang, named Patrick McKenna, assaulted Patrick Carr, of 351 East Thirty- fourth street, and the latter, as he alleges, in seif- detence stabbed his assailant in the breast. The wound, it 1s supposed, will prove fatal, Carr was committed by Justice Coulter, at Yorkville Police Court, to await the result of the injuries, ARECKLESS DESPERADO KILLED IN HAR- RISONVILLE, M0.

Parties then got him away a short distance and tried to pacify him, but to no purpose. He again drew his revolver and bran- dished it about, cursing and swearing, and threat- ening to shoot; then went south along the public square, with revolver in hand; then turned vack where a number of persons were standing, in front of the new buildings on the west corner of the public square, and fired at them as they fled into the butiding; ‘hence he went up stairs into Rogers & Sloan’s oifice, when Captam Whalen vainiy ate tempted to pacify him; loaded his revoiver, tired at Captain Whalen, the shot missing him, but passing through the door and slightly wounding Joseph Bution, Who Was on the outside. He next climbed out of the ofiice window, on the shed or awning over the pavement which extends nearly the whole length of the square on tnat side; traversed it to the south end, then turned; went to the north end of the awning, entered the window of Mayor Benignt’s office, and came down the stairway to the pavement below —started south along the payement, cursing and shouting wildly, and or- dering every one to clear the siGewaik, which order was promptiy obeyed by the unarmed citizens.

Sabin, aiter walking a lew steps south, turned, walked back to Houston & Craig's, stoope over the body of Mr. Button, picked up the pistol of the latter and then started south for the third time. At this time a Mr. Stackhouke fired upon him with a smail pistol from behind, the bali striking atm in the shoulder, but was too small to do more than cause Sabin to finch a little, but not to turn around, After going afew steps further he was again fred ou from the rear by Deputy Sherif?

WALL STRERT. } SuNpay, Sept. 3, 1871, ‘The first notes of the hum of the fall trade are al- ready echoing in the business portions of the city. A great deal of confidence exists in a heavy line of business during the season now upon us, and there is every reason to believe that tt will at least show considerable improvement over that of 1870; for, in the first place, gold hgs settled to something like an average On which calCilations may be based, while the enormous growth of the country nas opened up fresh markets in the great plains of the West. On the other hand, it is very probable that buyers will not take heavy stocks, They will not take as light ones as they dia last year and lastspring. But there i a spirit of conservatism and a fear of expan- sion which will prevent the bold and large pur- chases of several years ago. Fashions change 80 suddenly and certain styles of goods are 40 liable to become unpopular that the merchants are not dis- posed to lay in heavy assortments, while underneath all is the impression that there ts no speculation im buying more than sufficient to meet the cur- rent demand, for while prices may not matertaily change for six months or a year their tendency ts rather downward than upward oow that the country is recovering gradually from the inflation of the war, THE WEEK IN WALL STRE The stock market shows the revival of business attendant upon the -return from the country of the leading men of the street, and a strong movement has been inaugurated in the direction of higher Prices, The cliques generally left the market to itselt in the summer vacation, but coming back found the summer duiness likely to become chronic. The operations of the syndicate in placing the first instalment of the new loan had meantime given the financial sitaation a sort of roseate aspect, calculated to «assist «their plans, but the element of outsiie interest was lacking, and to stir this torpid interest into life was the first step toward animating the market, An analysis of the very muddled plans of the Secretary of the Treasury and Syndicate with reference to refunding the debt having encouraged them tn the faith that money would at least not be more active, if, indeed, it did not become, if possible, easier under the intended disbursement of coin from the Treasury in payment of the five-twenties re- deemed im excess of the funded two hun- dred . millions, they set the example to the street by boully buying stocks, and as the banks show an increase of two millions of loans for the week thelr purchases have been quite that, if not more than that amount, consider- ing that accominodation from private bankers 13 also at the command of borrowers on collaterals, The sentiment that stocks are already very high 13 Just the reason the cliques will fad a market, because the professional speculators who scan datly the paying out of tne stock telegraph tape will back up this sentiment by going “short” of the market. The mass of the public, who are in blissful ignorance of “short” speculation and would never have the courage to venture upon tt uf they did under- stand it, will quietiy give the cliques such stock as they have not already parted with, and leave the great professional operators of the street to set- tle the contest between themselves. We had occa- sion to remark last summer that the present year is one in which the public have had the best of the game. The Rock Island break and the general de- cline in stocks following the original fatlure of Mr. Boutweil to place his new loan found the public out of stocks, the eariler high: prices of the spring months having tempted them to sell The lower prices ruling in July brought in a good many of the public as buyers again, but hardly enough to constitute an importany out- side interest. ‘The return of the market to ita present high quotations has been accomplished by the cliques who have “averaged” down and up the scale until they have sifted pretty much all the stock of the street into their own tin boxes, We look, theretore, for an active campaign the rest of the year. Every leading stock ts ciiqued. It 1s, there- fore, for sale just a3 soon as the market ts sumM- ciently able to bear the load. The raising of prices last week waa the only resource left the cliques. Did they stand idly by and let the prevatiing mdifference of the public run into stagnation they would have hazarded their alt and invited bankruptcy. A rising market was sure to catch a short interest at one stage or another. Did they keep buying and buying until they found they had more than the capital stock of any company they knew then they were the dictators of what the price of the stock should be. The week just closed shows an improvement ranging from two to four per cent, the latter extreme being reached in the case of Wabash, which was in sharp request against the closing of the books on Saturday for the annual election. The improvement was well distributed over the leading stocks, The ac- tivity was, however, irregular. Monday and Tues- day were very dull, Wednesuay was brisk, Thurs- day was the liveliest of the week, Friday and Satar- day showing a slowing down of the speculative machine. The rise has also brought in a good many buyers—belevers in a “rising market,”’ who, silenc- ing their conviction that prices are high, take ‘‘a turn” to catch a few per cent, Each man thinks he isthe only one that is going to jump on the clique wagon and enjoy this solitary privilege. When these clandestine speculators are numerous enough to hold all the cliques now own, and take a little more inthe way of “short” stock from them be- sides, a “mistake’’ will be discovered, ana the un- lucky crowd wake up to the fact that they have overreached themselves 1a the most disastrous manner, ‘The gola market was dull and very steady. The merchants need @ greatYleal of coin from day to day, and thelr purchases have sustained the market at 1124 a 113, although the clique interest has been in abeyance awaiting ‘the Treasury programme for September. The extreme fluctuations daily in the price of gold during the week were as follows:— Highest, Lowest. Monday 112% 112g Tuesday. 112% 112% Weunesiday . 112% . ‘Tharsday we 113 Friday. 112% Saturday 113 Government bonds have been quiet, but generaily better, with, toward the close, quite a sharp advance in the “long” sixes, The market on Saturday was favorably influenced by the higher quotation for gold, which enabled the foreign Bankers to make ship- ments.

BLUEFISH BAIT. New YorRK, August 30, 1571, To THE EpITOR OF THE HERALD:—- Noticing some remarks in the daily papers thas bluefish were poisoning those who eat them, and that the smackmen used potsoned bait, &c., [ have taken the liberty to write to youa few facts con- nected witi bluefishing. The smacks are now fishing on the banks northwest from che high- lands of Navesink, @ short distance from land, They auchor on the banks and fish all night in the following manner:—One man sits with an oaken biock in front of him, on which he keeps constantly cutting up with a hatchet meahaden or bony fish, throwing the pieces overboard, kee; up a coustant stream of fine bait. The crew are ranged alongside of the smack, each one with his line ta his hand, on which there 1s only @ iarge sized codhook, baited with a ptece of menhaden; there are no sinkers on the lines. The fish swimining arouud and pick- ing up the smal! pieces of bait see the large pl on the Hooks anu seize them, and so are caught. It would be folly for the smackmen to use polsoned bait, for the simple reason that the hooks are often stuck in their hands, and they often get bit by the bluefish, and it would not be pleasant to get this poison in these scratches or cuts, L think that if your reporter shonid call on the friends ‘of those who have beer poisoned they would be raised from tne dead quioker than Lazarus was. [have leard of catch- ing pirds by putting salt on ther tails, but never be~ fore of catching bluetisn with arsenic on the hooks, The fishermen have froin me immemorial always borne @ good name, Christ recognized their good qualities by selecting His disciples from them, and also Instructed them now to Raul their nets.
