sented to him q memorial signed by property

IT Is STATED by the Catholic Mirror that "ex.
Secretary Stanton, some months before his death
bad turned his attention to the subject of reli-
gion, and was but recently engaged in an inves-
tgation of the doctrinesof the Catholic Church,
under the instruction of Father O'Connor,
formerly bishop Of Pittsburg, with whom he
lately had several conferences. In all human
probability, had the life Of Mr.. Stanton been
spared a little longer, he would have become a
Catholic"
Contrariwise, the intimate personal friends of
Mr.. Stanton say there il no ground whatever
for tie suppositi0n that he was inclined to
Catholicism-that he was baptised by Rev. DR..
Sparrow, Of the Fairfax, Va, (EpiscopaD Semi
nary, q few months since, and that DIR. T. A.
Starkey, of the Church Of the Epiphany, was a
regular visitor to Mr.. Stanton, up to the time of
