Kearnev has returned to his fayorite task
of enriching the language with choice eplthets
and phrases equally vigorous and elegant
His procession on Saturday night was made
UP partly of the "Plug Hat Brigade" which
devoted itself to the work of Tidiculing his
opponents, upon whom he has bestowed
the title of the Honorable Bilks." But

The opening service in the new Roman
Catholic Cathedral yesterday was an occasion
of deep religious interest to the great de-

take the cOnquerOrs prisoners, or where
party which had won successive victories
turned meekly about and gave up all the
ground it had gained, perhaps the Republican
party might be induced to think about COM

Republican Congressmen, with the suggestion
that he did not propose TO mourn be
cause the Democratic party had chosen to
mmit suicide, and intimated very distinctly
