The American Cardinal.

Saws the New York Independent, anent
the promotion of Archbishop McClosky:
What special necessity there may be Tor an
American cardinal at this time, beyond what
has existed for half century or more, we 90
not understand; and, in truth, the functions
of q cardinal are not of nature to add IN
any manner to the efficiency of an ecclcsias-
tic in this country, except that there is an i'm
plied dignity in the title which might prove
seductive to the imagination of people outside
of the Catholic Church. AS the Pope is al
wavs chosen from the College of Cardinals,
the wearer Of a red hat has the advantage OF
being always regarded as q possible wearer
of the tiara. and of filling the chair of St.
Peter. \ cardinal, too, is one OF the electors
of the Pope, and the Cardinal Archbishop of
New York may be very soon required to
take O. sudden departure to Rome to elect
successor to the venerable pontitf from whom
he has received the purple dignity. 1t was
understood that Archbishop Hughes greatly
desired the distinction of the cardinalate, and
he would doubtless have had the honor be-
slowed upon him if the other Catholic bish-
ops had not discouraged it. Cardinal Nc
Closky is prelate Of great dignity OF char
actcr and he is represented as regretting the
distinction which he has received, and we
have no doubt Of his sincerity. 1t cannot be
denied that cardinal in New York will be
in a very anomalous and uncomfortable posi-
ton. There will be nobody with whom he
can associate on equal terms. His lnnk Is
| that Of a prince, and he must be addressed as
his Eminence. His costume, which he must
! of necessity wear, will subject him to con-
stant observation. Even in London Cardinal
! Wiseman found himself unpleasantly con-
spicuous, although he was surrounded by
princes and mobiles. But Cardinal McClosky
| will be wholly segregated from all social sur
roundngs and set apart in his splendid trap
pings. He will be a most picturesque per-
sonage when he goes out for an airing or to
an evening party, clad in a complete suit of
scarlet-even scarlet stockings, shoes and
hat.-and the wheels Of his carriage must cor
respond in color, The broad-brimmed red
hat, with its immense tassels. which typities
the sacred office of the cardinal, is only worn
on official occasions; and for ordinary pur-
poses red velvet hat, without any brin1, is
lho reual head-covering on an Eminence.
| But there arc cardinals and cardinals, auo i,

nal should be as magnificent as Cardinal
! Woolsey than that he should be a statesman
| like Riche]ieu or a scholar like Cardinal Mai
The Roman Catholics of New York, as vel
as of all other parts of the United States
will rejoice greatly in the new dignity thai
has been accorded to them by the Holy
Father; but there will be likely to be feel
ing of jealousy on the part of the Catholics
Of Mexico and Of the South American
churches, that the first red hat given to tho
New World should fall to the lot of p city
where SO small par: Of the population is OF

.Vicksburg Monitor: If the white
people do not rule Mississippi, the ne
eroes will soon ruin it. 1t is no use
denying or attempting to dodge this
truth. The white people have not any
more sense than is required for the
task of self government, and if you
descend to the negroes to look for ru-
lers, you are essaying an impossibility.
The negroes are simply incapa ble.-
They lack the sense, the brains, the
civilization and the honesty to carry
on any sort of government. We do
not say the whites are perfect 10 any OF
these, for they are not; but they are
far superior to the blacks.

farmers having large quantity of corn
are out buying hogs The corn aud
hog business don pay in this country
like it did before thewar. The north
western folks can put hogs in the
southern market cheaper than We can.
We must turn our attention to grasses
and other kinds of stock. Until we
do this We will sink money at the farm
ing business.
Jackson Wing and Tribune: Hogs
are very scarce in this section, and we
have heard it suggested that it would
be good move for several farmers to
make up club and 60 north and buy
lot of hogs and ship them home to
be fattened. We have a surplus of
corn that might be utilized in this way
Bolivar Bulletin: We note the ar
rival from OHIO, of about hundred
young hogs to be fattened upon the
abundant pea crop everywhere seen on
the farms in the county. This is but
one degree better than buying bacon.
How much better would it have been
| if all these hogs had been raised in
the county by some thrifty farmer, in
stead of transferring the cost of the
same beyond the limits of our State,
when currency is SO very scarce for the
daily wants of the people of Tennessee

arises w here are We to get the hogs
from?" From the northwestern States
where they can be bought cheap
Droves of them should be brought
down and sold to our farmers at mod
crate figures. Corn will be abundant,
the fields are full Of it, and it will be
Infinitely better to put it into hogs and
make your own meat, than to sell it at
next to nothing at all. and pay fancy
prices for your meat during the coming
winter. 1t seems possible that the
Changers might take this matter IN
hand and establish an agency for the
purchase of hogs in the northern and
western States where they can be
bought up at comparatively small
cost. and, if managed right, brought
here and sold to our farmers alta small
per cent. above the original price. If
the farmers of Haywood county ever
expect to raise their own meat they
will never have a more suspicious sea

one. 1t is now or never. .-ra ir..
