An Interview With the American
Cardinal.
Nau- Work Corrpsnondanca OF the Chicago

An Interview With the American
New York Correspondence OF the Chicago
Time.
The nImor tEat Archbishop McCloskey
had been selected by the Pope as a Cardi-
nal of the Catholic Church in America,
telegraphed Tuesday ight, is confirmed by
a statement given TO the public by Bishop
EioCl0skey himself, who said to a reporter:
1L,ast Sunday L received a cable
dispatch from a friend in Rome,
who announced to me that the
dignity was TO be conferred upon me.
The dispatch was not from an official, and
so l do not consider the announcement as
official, but it was from source that / am
very apprehensiye will be found to be co..
rect in this matter. learn also that Mr..
McAIasters to-day received a cable dispatch
from Rome, which con aims the same an
nouncement as the dispatch which myself
have received"
"Would the fact of your being appointed
a Cardinal" asked the. reporter, "necessi-
tate the selection Of a new Archbishop"
COB, no." he replied; 81 would be Arch
bishop lust the saIae. The only change
would be that would have the additional
title of Cardinal"
The Archbishop in reply to the question
as to whether his appointment would occa-
sion any change in the ceremonies Of the
church when he otiCiated, or if it would be
necessary to create a certain number Of Can
ons, said it was not necessary that this
should be done. 1t is understood that ar
rangements will be made upon a large
scale, by the Roman catholic clergy and
laity Of the diocese, 10 tender the Arch
bishop their congratulations as soon as the
appointment shall be officially made
known,

very quietly resigned ard hal his brother,
the editor Of the Commercial, appointed in
his stead. Several sturdy RAIDS sWOre, in
their wrath, that this should not be thus;
the Office should not be handed down 10
the younger brother as q sort Of family
property. Squire W. 7. Cate moved on
Washington, and so moved Grant and
Jewell that young Kindrick's name was
withdrawn and that Of Cate sent in. Then
it came KindIick's turn to make a pilgrim
age to the national capital. Cate has re
turned home, and informs your correspond
ent that doubtful things are very uncertain,
and that the status Of this pOstofice and
of the gentlemen who have held
it all the way from four
wears to four hours at a time
are about as uncertain quantities as any in
art or nature. The older kindTick has
been showed in and out so often that l
can't remember now Just how it was that,
in 1S72-While he and Sam. Bard were
puIl-hauling over this slice Of patronage
determined if ne was Of tho Outs or ms.
and, If so, how much. If my recollection
serves me, he was and wasn't Postmaster
four times in about ten days. Then we
had the same state Of delightful uncertainty
in 1873, when Kindriclg and A. @. Sharp
went through and through our POst0fhce,
so to speak, 50 rapidly that the beWildered
public could not tell which was in the
lead. But still kindriek stuck. It re-
mains to be seen whether be viii be as sue
| eessful in choosing his successor as he has
been in holding on himself
One thing, however, is quite clear, The
yacillatiOn, puerility, tTickery and weak
ness shown by the President in reference
to this paltTy dish OF pap, displays an al
tOgetheF eOntemptible side Of his character.

THE Nclg York Tribune says that the
question of creating an American Car
djnal has been agitated for long time.
During the past twenty-five years the
pope has shown a strong tendency to
make the College of Cardinals more
catholic than the traditional policy Of
Rome formerly allowed it to be, and
two-ffths of the Cardinals Of his ap-
pointment have not been Italians. In
1850 the administration Of President
Fillmore caused an intimation to be
conveyed to the Holy See, that the ap-
pointment Of a Cardinal in the United
States would be well received, and Mr..
Cass. then Charge d'Afairs at Rome,
pushed the subject zealously,
though perhaps not IN his Official
capacity. 1t was well understood at
the time that the new dignitary, If ap-
pointed. would be Archbishop Hughes.
The Archbishop of Baltimore, however
and some Of the other American pre-
lates, opposed the scheme, and 1t was
allowed to drop. In 1868 President
Lincoln sent word to the Pope that the
American Government would feel par
Uieular qualification in any additional
honors that His Holiness could confer
upon Archbishop Hughes, and again
the question Of the CaTdinalship be-
came a common subject Of conversation.
There Is reason to believe that the hat
was almost as good as ordered for
Archbishop Hughes on that OCCASION
and Why he did not get it has never
been explained.

FINANCIAL OUTRAGE.
Search Made I'm New York Banks for
UnsfamPed Cheeks-PrOtest Of the
Bank Managers.
New York Tribune, March Il

Bank Managers
New York Tribune, March II.
Banking men throughout the country are
very much excited ovHF the action Of the
Internal Revenue Department at Washing
ton. This feeling grew out Of a recent eff
fort on the part of the Department to estab-
lish an inquisitorial system Of investigation
into the manner of tranSacting business at
the banks, with a view to learning whether
any checks, which we're not properly stamp
ed, have been paid. The banks we've called
upon TO furnish the evidence of any care
lessness or omission OF, their part in this
respect, the object being to collect the pen
atty Of so for every cheek discovered TO
haye been paid without stamp. With the
purpose OF aseeTtainils the history and
causes Of the proposed investigation, in
quiries were made yesterday, and the fol
lowing information obtained:
In 1862 the stamp tax, always OdiOus,
was imposed as a war necessity. Changes
Occurred froIa time to time until 1872,
when the Stamp law was repealed. All re-
quiremeuts for stamps on papers were cut
of, except for checks, the tax on these being
the smallest and most Objectionable Of all.
Many believed that it lad been the inten-
ton Of Congress to repeal this provision
also, and tLSt the failure to do SO was an
accidental omission, which would be rem
edied at the next session. The panic re-
duced the revenue so that it was deemed
inadvisable to do anyth nc that would fur
the decrease the receipts Of the Govern
ment. IL the meantime, owing "a
the expectation tina. the tax was
merely nominal and not intended to
be strictly enforced, willie many thong It
that it lad actually been repealed, a ladty
in the observance Of the law was engender-
ed. Paving tellers in he transaction OF
business, without the knowledge OF the
chief officers Of the bark, would cash the
unstamped checks of customers who were
ignorant Of the requirements Of the law.
