We wish to correct a rumOr current IN
the streets that our young friend Harry
Hill had identified himself with the
Radical party, and had voted that ticket
on Thursday. This grew out Of the fact
that his announcement that he intended
to vote for one or two parties on that
ticket on personal grounds, provoked a
number Ct discussions, IL which, in II
moment of irritation, he said he would
vote the whole ticket, and thus show he
was not to be bullied Out Of his convics
tions Of personal obligation But set it
down Harry is all right however he may
have voted for individuals, he is squarely
on the Bartlett platform. - Memphis Ap-
peal
We are glad TO hear that Harry has
not yet taken leave Of the consei vative
party, but his friends here set him down
sometime ago with the radicals on ac~
count of public assertions made here on
HE last visit, and further, on account Of
letters addressed to parties living here in
which, they think it is indicated that be
would hereafter act with the radicals.
We know nothing Of these things
personally, but our information is derived
from bis intimate friends, who no doubt
will be happy to stand corrected Harry
is a great joker, but we hope that he will
learn that coquetting with the radicals,
even in a frivolous way, is dangerous.
We may add that if his friends here have
done him injustice, none will mere readi'

Death Of Father Mcsweeney.

AUSTIN, TEXAS, March 25th, 1874.
To the Editor Of the Morning Star;
I exceedingly regret to announce to the
readers of the MORNING STAR the melancholy
death Of the Rev. Father Mos Sweeney, who
died at Nacsgdoches Gin this State) ON the let
of March last.
Father insolvency was born in the County
Donegal, Ireland. His family is said to have
been noble and wealthy. The humility of the
deceased had ever prevented him speaking of
himself, and his friends, ont of respect for bis
religious profession but presuming that your
numerous readers would like to know some
thing of a good man who had labored for
several years in this State, I recall to my mem
DRY my first interview with the deceased ,
Ibelieve in the year 1870, as far as my mem
DRY serves me. At an early age the learned
divine was sent to France, by his parents, to
be educated for the holy ministry. In due
course he was ordained priest and devoted
himself to the labor of the missions through
out France, Spain and Italy, speaking the
languages of those countries fuently. In this
employment he acquired great celebrity as o
preacher, both for zeal and eloquence
In 1870 Father McSweeney, I believe, arrived
OF New York, to fulfill his promise to Bishop
Dubois, of this diocese, that he had mlsde the
year previous in the city of Paris. On his ar
rival in She'UnitSa States, the learned Bishops
of New York, Illinois and Wisconsin, were
anxious ofssecuring his services, Offering all
reasonable Inducements for him to take charge
of some of their focks. To all he turned a
deaf ear, his promise to his beloved Bishop he
had TO fulfill. On his arrival Ia this State he
was ordered to Bgenham, Washington county,
to build Catholic church, notwithstanding
there were not over dozen of Catholic fami-
lies. He accomplished his object. After he
completed his church, rather than tax his par
ishioners he taught school in tho church for q
livelihood he was well patronised by all de-
nominations. A few years afterwards he was
sent on the mission from Crockett to Nacogdo-
ches.
Father Insolvency. ut the time of his death
was about thirty-Ave years old. He vas
learned as we'll IS Pious. FuIAlIing the conn
eel, If NOS the obligations Of the gospel, he
literally sold what he had and gave It to the
poor. BE literally left father, mother, sister
and brother 20 take up the cross and follow
Jesus. BE left, too, his country, "The Gem
Of the Sea-" and sought orr shores not, like
most euigrante, to better his temporal for
times, but to preach the gospel, as he under
stood It, and to give souls to Christ. For this
he labOred for this he sacrificed all worldly
considerations, and at last his life. Ho died
like true soldier Of the cross, battling at hiS
post. Yours truly, TE1As'3
