The Pope celebrated his S3rd
birthday yesterday, He will complete
the saith year of his Pontificate next
month.
The Southern Catholic reads the
Irish World out of the church for crit
icising Cardinal McCloskey's "Carri-
age Of State" and other Kingly APP
pendages.
This item we find in the Southern
Catholic, published at Memphis: at
is reported that General W. B. Bate
will shortly take upon himself a con-
trolling interest in new daily paper
to he started at Nashville"
1t is said that Cardinal Me-
Closkey has appointed Johu Russell
Young, managing editor of the New
York Herald, his private secretary
He thus recognizes in a suitable way
the services of the Herald in behalf of
his church.
IF it should turn out that Vice
1N0lhtlll w lloOll - Tue llthl INtDubil-
caud date for President, how the Dem
Ocratlc politicians in Tennessee would
eat their own words He is a good
fellow now, but in that event he
woul be miserable jeremiah Col
bath.
The New York Herald says: 1t
is curious to note that ex-senator
Schurz and family sailed on the Ham
burg steamer Pommerania, which de-
parted on April 20, only one day after
the Schiller. But for the dinner party
and serenade given to him'in this city
he would have chosen the earlier YES
sci.
Tie Nashville Union and Amer-
lean says: Ex-senator Carl Schurz
had actually taken passage on the
doomrl vessel Schiller, the captain
being All old friend. He was detained,
however, by the Delmouico dinner,
aud passenger on the POmerania,
who We up his state room for Schurz's
accommodation, took passage on the
Schiller"
- The Washington Republican
says that suit will be commenced i'm
mediately against the properly seized
from the Illicit distilleries in st. Louis,
Chicago, etc.. and against he bondmen
OF revenue officials implicated, and
add; The prospect seems fair that
the Government will be able to estab-
lish so strong a case ~ to recover from
the property seized an amount nearly,
if not quite, equal TO the sum total Of
the frauds perpetrated."
-Speaking Of the late disgraceful
mob at Nashville, the Fayetteville
Express says: 1.-The officers of the law,
whether the Governor, the Sheriff, or
the Mayor, are greatly to blame for
their failure to adopt measures for sup
pressing an outbreak which they knew
10 br Imminent. 1t is perfectly plain
to all who have read the sickeniut de
tails Of the closing scene, that there
was cupabl-, not t. say criminal, neg
ngence Oh the part of the
authorities, and this conviction derives
additional force from the fact that only
twenty five men were Immediately
engaged in forcing the Jail"
- The Memphis appeal copies
from the CHRoNICLE editorial of May
9TH, wherein we alluded 10 the declara-
ton of Mr. Miles, that no "Catholic ia
the country who respects his religion
or himself" "cau vote the Republican
ticket" Unable to fairly meet what
we said the appeal confounds opposi,
ton to the demands of Catholicism in
certain localities with prescription "on
account of nationality" IL does not
remember, perhaps, that the strongesI
opponents to Catholicism / this cOun
try are to be iound among the thou
sands of intelligent Germans. The
cry of "Know nottingham" will no
accomplish anything in this behalf
The Union and american fiudi
fault with Secretary Bristow becaus,
he proposes 10 abolish several of tn,
interior pnrts 0i -niry, thai are nevel
used as such. and are only a source o
expense TO the Government Il Charge
that he does it in the interr.t of New
York and Boston. Well the old Trims
must complain at something, and a
well this as anything else. II Is such
distressiugly slow old coach, tina
people tolerate anything from il. Blu
we wonder that the Democratic party
in Tennessee are satisfied with such
sleepy central organ. They ought t,
feed 1t ON Condition Powders "

The COVTier-JOurHdL works itsei
