“TO THE SEE OF PETER. Arrival in this City of the Irish- Canadian Pilgrims. THE RECEPTION LAST EVENING, Addresses by Distinguished Cleries—Pro- gramme of the Pilgrimage. The dismal weather yesterday moroing brought but tow mombers of the New York Reception Committeo to the Grand Central Depot to greet the Canadian pilgrims on their way to Rome to join in the celebra- tion of the fiftieth anniversary of tho elevation of Pope Pius 1X. to the episcopacy. The train was forty min- ates late, On their arrival the pilgrims and their friends, hty-six in all, were escorted to the St. Nicholas Hotel. Only one-third of the number will proceed to Rome. THE PILGRIMAGE TO NEW YORE. The pilgrimage was suggested early in the year, and ‘tn association was formed in Canada for the purpose of carrying itinto effect, Tno association was confined more particularly to the city of Montreal, although there are several pilgrims from other parts of Canada who areto gowith them to Rome. High mass was celebrated at St. Patrick's Church, Montreal, on Thursaay morning, betore they left that city, An address was presented to Father P. Dowd, pastor of the church, and Prestdent of the Pil- grim Association, alluding to his thirty years of earnest service for the Catholic faith in Canada, bidding him God speed on his journey and expressing a hope of his sate return, The pilgrims then embarked on the train for tha city, At Buena Ventura station they were greeted with an ovation, Bands of music anda pro- cession of friends accompanied them and cannon sa- lates were fired. TUE ARRIVAL IN NEW YORK. At tho Grand Central Depot they were met by four members of the New York committeo—Messrs. John v. Kelly, Jr, James Lynch, Patrick Farrelly and Wiliam J. Hughes—who escorted them to the St Nicholas Hotel, Mr. A. J. Lechére, of the Michael’s Association, and a few other gentic. mon were also present. A misunderstanding in re- gard to the time of tho train’s arrival occasioned the absence of the other committee men and delegates from several societies who had been expected, It had been reported that the train was to arrive at hal!-past cight, whereas the actual time was a quarter-pust seven, The train was, however, forty minutes later than its schedule time. When the pilgrims descended from the train Messrs. Hughes and Lynch welcomed them to New York. A genoral introduction and shuking of hands all round followed. The pilgrims then formed in couples and walked to the lower end of the depot, where carriages were 1n waiting to take them to the hotel, ‘THY BADGES AND THE STANDARD. The pilgrims ail wore 4 bleeding heart on a white ground in the form of a badge pinued to the lapels of their coats. On the back of tho budge were the ‘word: Heart of Jesus, protect Pius the Ninth.’? The standard, which is to be borne in all the pablic processions of the society in Europe by Mr. Bernard Taney, of Montreal, is a magniticent flag of green silk. On 1 is woven in gold lagea representation of the Papal Nara, the cardinal’s bat and the crozier of tho bishop; guderneath isthe harp of Erin. Tbe inscription, in gold lace und colored silks, 1s, “fhe Irish Catholic Pil. trims of Canada.” On their arrival in Rome the flag ig to be presented to the Holy Father. AT THE ST, NICHOLAS HOTEL. On their arrival at tue botol, over which the flags of ihe United States and the Papal standard were floating, the party were assigned to the rooms prepared for them, and parlor No, 233 was set aside for their special use. The Rey. M. J, O'Farrell, of St. Peter’s Courch, of the New York committee, here met them, anda food breuktust was served, to which the pilgrims did luli justice, Im the guests’ parlor was hong a hand- wome crayon picture of Pope Pius iX., which 18 to be presented to the ope as a gift from Canada.

THE HVENING RECEPTION, The parlor of the St, Nicholas was brilliantly lighted at the evening reception tendered by the New York coromittee. fortably, by the pilgrims, the New York committee and their iriends, to Whom invitations had been rent, Mujor Jobu D, Keily, Jr., chairman of the New York committee, thanked his fellow-members of the com- mittee for their energy im perfecting the arrangements for the reception, and introduced Vicar General Quinn, Father Quinn said that bis obj ct in speaking was to soy novhing, a8 he had another address to deliver to them in the morning. He bade the Canadinus a very hearty welcome to the city on behalt of the Catholic Jaity, clergy and His Eminonce Cardinal McCloskey. He said that the Catholics of tho United States were only separated from those of Canada by an imaginary line, Sometimes tho line was a lake, somoti a fiver, and sometimes there was no river at all. Soon, he noped, there would be no line at all. Father Dowd replied, on the part of the Canadians, 5 tollows:— FATHER DOWD’S ADDRESS.

You will be- Neve me that I co-operated with our central commit. tee and understood their difficuities. It was a ches ing, eneowraging messago trom the New York committee that dispelled our fears, and made the pass- ing cloud go away. (Applause). I think it right to state in the presence of this audience that if the pil- | grimage 18 now an assured success, und if the arrange. tents for tho pilgrims are in a most satisfactory condi- tion, we owe It to our respected chairman and the chair. man who co-operated with bim trom New York.

THK OTHER SPRRCHES. Mgr. Chatard, ot tro American Col! Rome, next addressed the pilgrims. It bad been his pleasure, he said, to address a similar pilgrimage from Canada 'in’ Rome several years ago, He re- gretted that he was obliged to be absent from Rome on tho fitueth anniversary of the Pope's epis- copacy. He regretted that he would be unable to ad- | dress the pilgrims in Rome this year, They would re- ceive one great benetit from their visit to Pope Pius IX., they would be strengthenea in their zeal for the Catholic faith, Althongn the Pope’s humility § would not permit of his being called great, t bistory would record that he was aman of remarkable virtue, This virtue would Intuse itself into tho hearts of the pilgrims and make them more zealous to work for the cause of the ‘Church and the salvation of souls, Speeches were then made by Mr, Lummis in behalf of the Xavier Union, Mr. Churchill, of the Cathoiic Union, and Colonel McInerny, of St Michacl’s So- ciety. ‘tne Rev. Fatber Farrell was the last epoaker. He welcomed the Canadians us personal friends. In no part of the world was devotion to the Holy Father so marked agin Montreal, The pilgrims were to honor one = whom the world was dishonoring. They were carrying a banner to one who was almost deserted, But it a mark of the Irish beart to have sympathy tor the cause which was down. Tho pilering were going amid nations indifferent to tho cause of the Holy Father, amid scofers and laughers. Tho world would ‘not praise them, but tho Holy Father would bless them. Though other crowns might fall and em- pires night crambie there was one cause that would never fajl—the cause of the Church, the cause of the Pope. Father Farrei! concluded by wishing the pilgrims a happy voyage und paying a tribute of praise to Major Kelley and Mr, Hughes, of the commit- tee, for their energy in perfecting the arrangements to receive the pilgrims. The chairman of the New York committee announced through Vicar Genera! Quinn that a cable message had been gent to Rome to the Holy Father announcing the arrival of the pilgrims in New York and asking his benediction on their voyage. A STRANGE CASE, A HANDSOME YOUNG GIRL INSISTING ON INTER- VIEWING CATHOLIC CLERGYMEN—I8 SHE IN- SANE OR A BLACKMAILER? [From the Albany Evening Journal, April 19.) A ratber extraordinary caso was developed at Police Hendquarters to-day, the facts of which may be suc- cinctly stated as follows:—About ten days ago u good looking and well dressed young woman, apporently ubout twenty-two years of age, called at the residence of Rev. Father Preiser, of the German Catholic Church on Second avenue, early in the evening and requested the servant who appeared at the coor to show her into the clergyman’s presence, as sho wished to speak to him privately. Father Preiser was absent at the time, and so the servant informed the applicant, whose name it bas since been ascertained 1s Carolive Messner. Caroline diecredited the statement, and was very abusive to the servant. She departed, however, with the inti- mation that she would call again the next morning. The next morning she again appeared at the house, and Father Preiser answered her summons at the door, She requested to him alone, and when he declined) she insisted on a private interview, saying ehe had poison she would take, and finally became so violent in ber manner as to alarm him, He had- read in a New York German paper of the case of a Philadelpina girl who went about seeking interviews with clergymen, and when accorded making charges of impropriety against them for parpoces of kmail, and her importunity re- called the item fresh to mind, He positively re- id was at Inst com- pelled to turn her away. When she left he at onco catled on Ubief Maloy and intormed him of tho facts, ‘The Cniot intrusted the matter to Detective Malone to work up, Tbat same day or tho next succeeding Varo- line called on Father Mcincroo, of the Cathedral, and Father McDonald, of St Mary’s Church, aud endeav- ored to obtain private interviews, but met with no better success than she had at Father Preiser’s, It 1s supposed ste called on others of the Catholic clergy in the city on the same days und attempted the interview business without result, and, becoming dis- couraged, then went to Troy, as has since been learned, Here sho called on the priests at the Provin- cml Seminary and several clergymen in the city, | They, supposing from her actions that abo was out of her mind, caused her to be placed in the Sisters’ Hospital, She wus released from this i and coming to Albany, made appheation ather Ludden, director of the Albany diocese, at the athedrai this thorning, He had been Informed of her previous attempts with other clergymen, and recog- nized ber from the description that had been given. He ucted promptly im the matter, Sending to the Second precinct for an officer, Policoman McKiernan re- sponded, who took Caroline In custody and brought her down before Chief Maloy. ‘vhe Chief, huving had bis men on her track for the past few days, very willingly accorded her an in- terviow, although it was hardly to ber inclinations. | On entering his office she took a small piece of paper from her pocket, which she tore into bits, but the Chief gathering them up and joining them together found written thereon, “House of Shelter, Albany.’’ The Chief also found in her dress pocket two all packets, which Caroline said contained potson; but Dr, Sautter, druggist, on examining them pronounced them harmless, In response to questions, the girl stated that sbe had been in the country only a your and that she had a mother living in Germany, Sho could give no explanation of ber singular con- duct. as sho conversed in broken English the Chief sent for Rev. Father Noothen to converse with her, His concluston was that sbe was rather more inclined to wickedness than insanity. She could give no satis- factory information concerning herself, and Chief Maloy accordingly sent her betoro Justice Clute, who committed ber to jail for a medical examination, This noon Curoline was agein brought down before Justice Clute, and confessing that sbe had no home or friends, thereby coming under the Vagrant act, sho was sentenced by the magistrate to the Pent- tentiary for six months.

The notorious reinsurance of the New Jersey Mutual Life Insurance Company by the National Capital bas formed the subject of many a story, but the machina- tions by which it was effected have been hitherto concealed, These have been related to the Grand Jury In Newark, and an account of them is full of in- terest at the present time. Some new facts are pro- duced regurding the National Capital’s creation, and the stages by which it reached its present existence, It was chartored by Congress and after a short seuson of business its risks wero reinsured. When Bepjainin Noyes went to Washington to purchase the charter, be also bought that of the American Lite Insurance and Trust Company. The latter was another child of*Congress, but bad never made its début in the business world. The two were virtually owned by tho same parties, and were procured by Mr, Noyes through the agency of Mr. A. G. Fuy. Mr, Noyes reinsured bis Now Haven corporation under the National Capital, and the American Life was kept in reserve, If any accident had occurred to the former company—such as the repeal of its charter attemptod an the last Congress—the same old umbrella could have roappeared under the new cover of the American Life Insurance and Trust Company. When the New Jersey Mutual got in trouble in De- comber last, & proposition was broached to them by Bevjamip Noyes, through A. G. Fay, with a view to selling this superfluous charter of the American Life, It was considered very —ayaliable forthe New Jersey, and was estimated by its owners to be worth $25,000 for that purpose, At the request of President Stedweil some logal gentlemen visited Washington for the purpose of discovering the valuo of the investment. Mr. Fay there exhibited it to them, and among otber things produced the record of a series of its directora’ mectings, which bad apparently beon religiously attended at stated intervals in order to keep the charter alive, It so happened that in the minutes of one of these ‘meet- ings’? a name was eatered whose owner was known nt that period to have in Europe, This was at onco objecte to by one of the negotiators, and though Mr, Fay generously offered to produce affidavits to show that ail the directors named had been present as recorded the proposed purchase was no further considered, ANOTHER BOAT TO THE RESCUR, Benjamin Noyes first addressed himself individually to the New Jereey people about January 1, 1877, when ho sent President Stedwell a message to tne eflect that the National Cupital would reinsure the New Jersey Mutuul upon a six per vent busis, This proposition led to one or two meetings between the representatives of ¢ companies at the house of Mr. Henry O, Walker, Vice President of the National Capital. “The projected reinsurance was hero discussed in ali its phases by Messra, Noyes and Stedwell and their counsel. Mr, Noyes strongly asserted the ability of his company to secure tho New Jersey policy holders, but Mr, Stedwell would have preferred to reinsure, if possible, in one of the New York institutions, Previotls to this an effort had been made to reinsure the New Jersey in the Universal Life, but tho offer was de- clined by . H, J, Furber, presideat of the latter, While the National Capital proposition was yet in abey- uoce Mr. Stedwell made application tor reinsurance to the Globe and United States companies, of tnis city, both of which finally declined, although a contract with tho United States yas so nearly effected that the bonds, deeds and mort. gages were prepared for assignment, und blanks filled out for the purpose, The objections finally made by the United States company were because of com- plications which they feared might arise from sults against tho New Jersey. <A full meeting of the New Jorsey Board of Directors was then called, and Messra, | HL Baldwin, N. M. Halstead and H. 4H, ‘Trenor appointed a commitice to negotiate for a reinsurance, which they did, and reported tn favor of tho National Capital proposition. The rest of tho Broan ane are now pretty well under- stood, and will be fully revealed within a few days’ tume. C. C, LATHROP’S ALLEGED BONUS, It was stated by a poe ia tho Hxeratp re- cently that the $50,000 bonus, presumenly, paid to Mr. ©. C. Lathrop at the timo of the Hope and New Jersey umalgamation, had been charged on the New Jersey books to that most avallable account known as pur- chased polictes, This entry has been foand in the journal under date of November 18, 1873, and reads: — To Hope Mutual special... seer 50,632 20 Below it 18 alist of Hope policies for which new policies had been tssuod in the New Jersey, and upon which the aggregate amount of reserve cut off was the sum above mentionea. it !s one of those entries from which, in tho absence of a check book, little can be discovered but much may bo inferred. Just above it, uuder date of November 17, are two entrie To Guaranty cupital, To Hope Mutuai special. The first represents 80 been purchased with the company’s own mortgages a which was retired at this juncture from off the hability list—ag, indeed, the entry of $50,000 to pur- chased policies ts supposed to have been—on account of the examination and statement coming in the fol- lowing Decomber. IMPORTANT MOTIONS BEFORE CHIEF JUSTICE DALY, In the actions of Charles Ross and wife against the Reserve Mutual, the Guardian Mutual and the Uni- versal, and of William 8, Carlisle and others against the Guardian Mutual and the Universal and several individual aefendants, which were brought for the purpose of recovering the diverted and scattered assets of said companies and to sot aside the contracts of reinsurance or amalgamation made between thom and in which the charges are generally misappropria- tion by the former officers of the companies of the corporate assets. Motiuns wero yesterday made be- fore Chief Justico Daly by Mr, W. J. Butler, counsel for the plaintiffs in each case, for an order bringing in Henry B. Pierson, the receiver of the Reserve and the Guardian, as a defendant, and directing that the actions be thereupon continued and prosecuted to final judgment, The plaintiffs’ motions wore based upon the facts that their actions were brought before tho appointment of the receiver and dissolution of tho corporation, and upon tho allegation that the recoiver was ‘collusively appointed in an ire regular proceeding taken by the Attorney Gon- eral at tho instigation of tbe parties who now control the assets of tho dissolved companier. The motions were opposed by Mr. Tremaine, counsel for the receiv upon the ground that the action of the Attorney Gencral in dissolving corporations was Pt taken without collusion and that it uction pending in other courts. relied upon the provision of the general corporation Jaws, to which life insurance companies aro mado subject, giving to any court in which an action was pending at tho time of the dissolution of the corporation power to order the continuing of said action thereafter tho same as ff no dissolution had been decreed, which statutory provision, the receiver's counsel argued, was repealed by the laws regulating life insurance, citing in bis support the late decision of Judge West- brook In the case of the Attorney General against tho Continental The Court reserved its decision, THE NORTH AMERICA. There was also o similar motion mado by. Mr. William Burnes, lute Superintendent of Insuravee, in benalt of Violeta A. Bedell against the North Amorica Life Insurance Company. The defence ot this motion differed irom that of the others only in this respect, that the order appointing tho receiver of the North ‘America was not a judgment or dissolution, but was reg’ A seded all tiffs’ counsel intended tor the continuance of tho business undor the | management of a receiver. Among the arguments in support of the motion, it was urged th assuming that the order of Mr. Justice don, at Schenectady, was properly granced, it is necessaty under tho words thereof to mako tho recervera party in this action, all proceedin; in Ml Bedell’s suit New York Common Pleas arc stayed, attempted to be stayed, vy a justice of another court, Without notice, until the receiver {s toade'a party heroin; that a receiver has in a litigation pending between the parties priot his appointinent, tho object of which litigation Is to settle the rights of policy hold- ers in the company and to adjust the amount of divi- dend to which they are entitled as mombers of the company, and for other relief, and — that whether Mr, Pierson © was ally "or ' illegally appointed fecciver of the North America Lito Insurance Company, it is in accordance with tl rules of practice in equitable actions to make hima party defendant, either on his own application or on that of the plaintiff, even without any instruction to this effect in the order making the appointment or otherwise. At the conclusion of the argument the Court took the papers) The plaintiffs wore repre- sented oy Messrs, Barnes and Hanover, the receiver by Mr. Tremaine, and Messrs, Aloxander and Green appeared tor the defendant, ‘THE CONTINENTAL LIFE. Justice Pratt, of the Supreme Court, Circult, Kings | county, granted an order yesterday, vacating the writ of ne excat against tho defendant in the suit of Will- | jam K.

BEECHER'S TALK LAST NIGHT—DYSPEPSIA AND SPIRITUAL ENLIGHTENMENT. “T thought I bad in my pocket,’? said Mr. Beecher, atthe opening of his talk at Plymouth Church prayer meeting Jast night, ‘a letter from a lady, asking me whether God did not bide his face sometimes from His poople for His people’s good. In ono sense of the term that way be true; but in a general sense I think itis not”? Mr. Beecher then explained at some length why so many problems of mental philosophy come up for practical solution in the experience of Christians and cburches, He showed that the cestatic state or mind was obtained by training and ao education of the soul that could never be dispensed with, In Mme, Guion’s experience there was much tribulation; she was released trom that body of death, ber husbaud, and went through many struggles betore she reached that ecstatic state with whick her name was asso- ciated, He then retorred to the impediments that per- sons voluntarily place in their way toward advance- ment in spiritual life. Among these was the partaking of injudicious food. “More than two-thirds of tho peuple eat too much, eat at wrong times and cat wrong things,” said Mr, Beecher, ‘We should live by rule and in ac- cordance with what we bad to do. For more than forty years 1] havo done this, 1 cannot aiford to indulge my imagination very __ largely. I cannot exhaust mysolf by going into company, Saturday comes aud I have my Sunday before me nave just to get and keep my body in that state by which my mind js kept clear and activo, and so that it will work 1n the best way, and that is the way 1 make my sermons. What is the use of springing up your n: with strong green toa? Suppos man wil night be dezerves to have bluv devils the next mo! Then to keep this spiritual perception active must get rid of morbid ideas. ‘ou ‘This everlasting ‘awell- ing on one thought, and that about yoursell, is a mistake, A man can make a dyspeptic of him- self very soon if he wilt only think of what is going on in his stomach after ho bas par- taken of a good meal Then some men 0 about as If they thought themsclyes infinite sneaks. {ne cusracteristic of a Christian is cheerfulness, hupe- fulness and goodness. No, God never withdraws His face, The sun never forgets to riso, You may, as this morning, not be able to see it, but it was because there was a cloud between the earth and it.’ Mr. Beecher concluded by saying that he bad not toached upon the effect of conscious sins in this con- nection, because he had desired to refer only to those points that were not generally spoken of, After the pronouncing of the benediction a namber of persons remained as candidates for membership, for conversation with the pastor and deacons, THE WORK OF ANGRY WAVES. ‘The schooner Tam 0’ Shanter, Captain Zelleff, loaded with bananas and consigned to B.

The examination into the charges against Justice Edmonas, of Mount Vernon, Westchaster county, was continued before the referee, in that village, yesterday afternoon. A crowd of men watched the proceedings with enger interest. Several witnesses were examined in regard to complaints mado by them before the accused magistrate, their testimony being intended to support the allo~ gation that Edmonds bad charged the town ana county for fictitious trials in his court. An effort wi made by counsel for the respondent to cross-examine a witness, who was also one cl the four persons whose names are allixed tothe petition praying tor the rew being to show that bis signature bad been obtained by the counsel for tho petitioners, who, the counsel siated, wore actuuted solely by a personal fecling in the matter, but it was ruled out by tho referce. Ono wit- ness, called to corroborate the evidence given ata former hearing relative to Justice Edmonds having been intoxicated while officiating in a Judicial capacity, testified, on cross-examination, that the respondent did not stngger or otherwise display any signs of inebricty. Another = witne: testified to baving seon Edmonds playing at cards in a barroom, his associates on the occasion being two of the special constables of the village, one of whom bore a bad reputation, It was not elicited, however in what respect the man’s character was tainted, al attempts by croxs-examination on the question having proved futile, ‘The offer to prove by this witness that he (the witness) had approached the same man with friendly overtures within the past few days, it he would testity against Kdmonds, was algo ruled out, app: to the dissatisfaction of many present, who Heving that the respondent 1s not altoger Joss, still desire to seu the investigation conduct partially, The hearing was again adjourned to a future day.
