Hennesey, at present pastor of st. Joseph's
Church, at St. Joseph, Mo, was on the 22nd
of June elected BIZ the cdnsistory of Rome to

This diocese has now been without q Dish

Bishop Smith having died on the 2lst of Sep
TENDER, 1865. 1t 10 possible that Father Ifsn
Messy himself may not yet have been inform

buque by way of the catholic papers of Par

tion will be transmitted from Rome to the
archbishop Of ST. Louis, who will transmit
them to him. 1t is deemed probable that hs
will accept; if 40, after onsscration, he viii
proceed to Dubuque, to take possession OF his
diocese, By his conservation he will become
the Right Rev. DIR. Hennesey. 1t is not Ger
tain when his conservation will take place, j,
depending much upon his own pleasure and
convenience. Ii will probably be before Oct

The E1i1cs of the Late War.

President johnson could not better
promote his reconstruction policy, or
perform q more graceful act, than to
pardon Breckinridge, Price. Maury,
Early, and other fsexilel Marcelluses'
OF the late war. Their commanding
talents, high character and sterling
manhood would be no small acquisi-
tion to the country in these change
ful times, and, if secured to the sup
port Of the Administration, wonld
prove invaluable. Their presence
would convince the South that, as far
as the Executive was concerned, she
no longer rested under q political
ban, and her course would be onward
and upward, until prosperity should
again smile on her, and she take
her appropriate position in n regene-
rated Union. Nations, as we'll as in
dividuals, are held responsible for
the ''talents" entrusted to them; they
cannot bury zone talent" even, with
out mourning the condemnation of
the Great Arbiter of national destiny.
All must be used. To allow any one
to lie idle is a violation of trust, and
will surely reap its penalty. Our
country, of all others, should follow
this injunction of Holy Writ All
Its intellect is needed to check the
encroachments of sectionalism that
is fast forcing everything into its own
narrow and contracted compass.
"Pigmies" now occupy the high
places once filed by 'sTitans," and
our national capital is the scene of a
mad "saturnalia, in which the role
of leadership is attempted by Tri-
umvirate composed of the semblance
Of q man, Charles Sumner, of the
Sophomore mind and Liliputian
heart; OF Wade, in whom beastiaity
and fanaticism are incarnated ssSiam-
ese Twins" and the would-be "Glos-
ter" of the day, Thaddeus Stevens,
whose decaying powers CLEAN with
phosphoric malignity, evidencing
bad and rotten old age
Radicalism, which is despotism in
an epidemic form, RACES among our
people; and these political quacks,
while pretending to treat the disease,
are really doing all they can to spread
1T, hoping, in the Carnival of DEATH
to accomplish their mischieyous de
signs. Let the President grant
general amnesty and recall all our
exiles from abroad. Providence &C
complishes its grand ends by neglect
ing no agency, however small, and
we certainly cannot spare any Of our
limited means. Our loss in manhood
and worth has been too great for
single helping hand to be excluded
too much is to be done for petty
demagogues to delay the advance
ment of the country by tho cry of
"disloyalty." 1t is bugbear that
can no longer frighten sensible peo-
plea practical work is to be per-
formed. The Union is to be restored
in its pristine purity, and an impo-
verished section built up and started
afresh in the path of material deve-
lopment and wealth. Any politician
or party which stands in the way OF
this work will be crushed beneath the
triumphal wheels of its progress.
