Right Rev. w. N. Elder.
INatchez Democrat. April Il

The Catholic people OF the diocese of
Natchez have for some time anticipated
final parting with their able and beloved
bishop, Right Rev. VIM. Henry Elder. They
were not, therefore, surprised to learn on Sat
urday that Bishop Elder had received tele-
gram from Rome severing the connection be-
tween him and the people over whom ne mas
for go many years been the spiritual head:
The dispatch was In Latin, and the purport Of
1t was. as we have been informed, that letters
have been sent to him to Cincinnati, and d.

Of the coadiutorship OF the arehbishopric of
Bishop Elder preached his farewell sermon
and gave his parting benedlctiOn to the Gath
ollie congregation OF Natchez on Sunday last.
The venerable prelate dweit at length upon
the many agreeable recollecttons OF his resi-
denoe In this Diocese, and referred with much
tenderness to the kind treatment he has ex-
perienced at the hands OF the people or
NatcheZ, not only from those OF his own
faith, but also from the non. Catholic people
OF the community. He thanked them all for
their kind personal consideration and for their
ready responses to all calls upon them for
contributions to charitable purposes. He re-
GREETED the palm OF leaving cherished friends
OF more than q quarter OF q century, but a
soldier OF the army OF Almighty Goo iG was

Bishop Elder was coneecrated bishop OF the
diocese OF Natchez May 8, 1857, and has con-

years. He received large number OF friends

He will probably leave for the scene OF his
future iabors tomorrow evening. He goes

GRANTS TOUR.
Grants Reception at Oairo-He Speaks Con-
oerning the Condition Of the South.

CAIRO, April 16-Gen. Grant arrived here
at o'clock this afternoon. In reply to an
address of welcome the General referred to
his recent trip through the Southern States,
and said:
ut has been my good fortune to have just
passed through little bit of every one OF the
Southern States, lately In rebellion, and 1t Is
gratifying to me to say that In every one OF
them there were scenes, decorations and
speeches, such as we see and hear here to-day.
The stars and stripes were floating every
where. Most Of the speakers, in every in
stance, were men who, in the conflict wore
the gray, and the speeches which they made
showed their devotion to the flag for which
we fought. All l asked of them was that
they should respect and honor the flag and
became good citizens, and hereafter, Ii 1t
should be assailed by a foreign foe, that they
should unite with us one peopt6. ffofh as
surances they gave l believe they are sincere
and hope they expressed the sentiments of
the great majority, for united as one people,
united as generous rivals In building up our
several States for the whole Union, and In
feeling of loyalty for that flag, we are great
people-the greatest nation In the whole
world. To stand divided we are too nearly
equal, man to man, to be great and pros
porous people. Let us all hope that there
may be union of sentiment, a generous rival
ry In the building up of our several States,
with national pride over State pride"
