tux TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD.l
CINCINNATI. Ohio. August 10. 1879.
A diocesan conference has been called to meet
here Tuesday next the 18th inst. to forward
three other names from which Pope Leo may select
tine bishoprc of Columbus. The conference
is to consist of Bishops Borgess.. OF
Detroit; Toetbe of Covington; McCloskey of Louis
vile; Dewenger Of Fort Wayne; Chatard. of VIM
cennes. and Gilmore. of Cleveland. Some six months
after Bishop Roseerans' death these repre-
sentatives OF the Church met here with Archbishop
Purcell ana sent on three names for the
Pope's consderation-Dr. Callaghan. OF this city.
editor of the Catholic Telegraph; Father Gallagher. of
Columbus. who has been managing the affairs OF the
bishoprc since Bishop Rosecrans' death, and
Bishop Fitzgerald. of Little Rock. The
latter was at time pastor of one of
the churches of Columbus. and it expected
at the time the territory erected into
bishopric that he would be made its bishop. He
was made u bishop. had beon anticipated. but
instead OF being placed IN charge of the diocese
of Columbus as he had expected and de,
sired to be, he was sent Little Rock and
Bishop Rosecr ms was stationed at Columbus. 1t
seems that Bishop Fitzgerald has never gotten over
the slight which he conceives to have been put upon
him. When informed that his name had been
placed first the ticket of nominations
placed over that bishcpric. and his name
therefore not considered by the appointing powers
ut Rome. The Withdrawal from the ticket Of Bishop
Fitzgerald rendered it difficult to select suitable
man from the names presented, and new list was
ordered by the Pope.
4e BISHOP PURcEIL's HELPER.
GnnC DrOSnectiVo annOintmont
coadjutor to Archbishop Purcell there is consdera-
BILE disappointment In Catholic circles here. many
OF the more prominent churchmen believing that
similar delay will occur in his selection for
precisely the same reasons. 1t seems that Bishop
McQuade of Rochester, was one of the nominees
for the Office OF coadjutor. and upon learning that
fact he wrote to some or the clergy who had been
instrumental in having his put the list that
he would not accept the charge il it
ferred upon him, preterring to remain where
he is rather than remove here. This de
of taking his name from the list, as his wishes
communicated in the dispatches conveying his nomi-
nation, which was sent to Rome only about two
weeks ago. This really leaves only two names
for his Holiness to select from, Bishop
Chatard. of vincenne. being one, and it is be-
lieved that Father Callaghan Is the other. Taking
these two. Bishop Chatard is the one who would be
almost certain to receive the appointment, he being
further conjectured that the Pope has sent back
here for list from which to select the Bishop
OF Columbus he will. for the same reason. order
new nominations for the coadjutorship.
.IMPATIENCE CINCINNATI.
There is good deal of impatience manifested in
Catholic circles here because of this prospective de-
lay Archbishop Purcells great ageand the psrplexi-
ties growing out OF the financial embarrassnents
which befallen him render it impossible that he
should administer the affairs OF the diocese with
firm hand as is needed The financial difficulties
into which he has fallen clearing up slowly,
too that great Inconvenience is being felt by some
of the creditors. Most of them would be
willing to accept on.-half the amount OF their
claims. but the process Of collection il slow,
necessarily that considerable trouble will be felt by
some of them. even the larger creditors, before
they get their due.
