Cardinal Ireland.


Archbishop Ireland, though a West
ern prelate, in the eyes Of the wiser
Roman Catholics, is by all odds the
most popular and the most trusted
official, after Cardinal Gibbons, in the
American part of the Roman church.
he knows his own business, and is both
a loyal American and a loyal church
man, and has the sagacity TO do always
the wise and the right thing. 1t has
been repeatedly said 10 the writer, in
cOnverSing with the Roman Catholic
leaders, that the hopes Of the church
i'm this country are largely cen
tired ia him. 1t is well known
that he was made an arch
bishop against his will, and that
be is the last man 10 seek promotion.
AT the same time his intelligent co-ope-
ration with Leo MIL, and his identity
with what is best in American inStitu-
tions, constitute him man VINO is most
likely 10 receive the honOrS Of his
church and OF the Pope, and we know
no man i'm America who is more justly
entitled 20 wear the cardinals hat. The
appointment Of Archbishop Ireland as
Roman cardinal will do more than any
other single act in America to forward
the best interests of the Roman Catholic
Church.

Piled with jealous Confederates and a
fRvorito stamping ground for the wild
raiders led by Forrest and others. While
incursions could not be prevented in a ter
ritory so vast and inviting, the roads were
held and travel kept open between the
Union front and the north and between the
separate camps, and many a desperate bat
tie was fought to attain that end.
When the army started for Atlanta in
the spring Of 1854 Sweeny's division went
to the front in the Sixteenth corps in Nc
Pherson's Army Of the Tennessee. During
the advance beyond Resaca Sweeny took
the lead in McPherson's column and
adroitly seized the crossing Of the Oosten-
aula at Lays Ferry In the presence Of q
powerful body Of Confederatcs, and held it
1ntil bridges were put down and the army
safely across on the flank Of the retreating
enemy.
In two years Of campaigning Gen.
Sweeny had proved that be was a capable
commander as well as a fighting hero.
But his chance to head large body Of
men in a desperate battle didn't come
until the armies locked horns at the gates
Of Atlanta, late In July. For several days
the Sixteenth corps was in reserve and on

Nathaniel Lyon reached 81. Louis with re

Sweeny was second In command TO Lyon IN

CAUSED SURPRISE.

Secretary Blaine's Resignation Created q
Sensation at Washington.
WASHINGTON, June 4.-The news of
the resignation of Secretary Blaine
created profound sensation at the cap
itol. The senate was not in session, but
the house was in the throes of filibuster-
ing against the anti-option bill. The
effect of the reception of the bulletin
announcing the event was magical. The
telegram was read by the speaker and
Representative Dingley, and almost in
stantly the news spread over the house
like wave of sound. Within two min
ntes the space in front of the desk was
filled by throng of representatives
struggling to get glimpse of the bit of
yellow paper which was snatched from
one hand to another The effect was
very discouraging to pending business.
1t did not take the Democrats very
long to decide what view to take of the
matter as to the initial stage. 1t means
that Blaine is standing for the nominal
ton, said one and all. But when it
came to the secondary result-the effect
on the Democratic convention, there
was, of course, a division of opinion.
Said Representative Dockery, of Mis-
souri,: Fate is with us. 1t means that
Blaine is the nominee; and Blaine can
never be elected"
