Washington; Feb. 19. When the present ression ends there will be about thirteen Lnndred bills on the calendar of the House which have been favorably reported by the committees, but which will fail from want of time for their consideration in the House. Many of these bills are of an insignificant nature, some are important and all of them are deserving of consideration, as they have the prestige of a favorable report. Some of them are jnst on the verge of being passed, and a day's more time would see them through. Some of the appropriation bills will undoubtedly be signed within a few inmates of the time when the clock points to noon on March 4. and it may be that the congressional clock will be turned back, in order to have all bills signed, as has been the case heretofore. Many of the measures are such as would certainly pass if they could get consideration, as there is no opposition to them, but the whole thirteen hundred will be barred out, and will go over to load the calendar of the next session of Congress when they will be introduced and again considered by committee.

IRISH LEAGUE FUNDS. The 3IeCarthyite Want to Know About the Disposition of Their Portion. London, Feb. 19. At a meeting of the supporters of Mr. Justin McCarthy, held hero to-day, it was resolved to press for information as to whether $15,000, part of the $ 10,000 released from the Paris fund, concerning which there has been so much discussion, has or has not been applied to the relief of evicted tenants. The meeting repudiated the imputations cast upon Mr. CUrien's honor. The Times, referring to the financial dispute, says that before leaving Boulogne Mr. Dillon suggested that a further sum of $15,000 should be released from the Monroe's bank, this sum to be devoted to the relief of the evicted tenants. Mr. Parnell, according to the Time, was willing that this should be done if $5,000 was handed to the League treasurer. Mr. McCarthy, however, insists that the whole amount must' be intrusted to tho Tenants' Defense Association. Negotiations on these poiuts still continue. "The plan of campaign," no far as the Smitn-liarry estates are concerned, is collapsing. Eleven tenants of Cashel, who were evicted for refusing to pay the rents dematidelof them, have resumed their holdings, payiug all arrears of rent due, as well as the cost of the legal proceedings taken against them. A majority ;ofJthe executive members of the National League in Great Britain have decided that speakers at branch meetings on St. Patrick's day shall advocate Mr. McCarthy for the leadership of the Irish party. Parnell Scored by a Bishop. Dublin, Feb. 10. The Bishop' of Dromore has sent a letter to the clergy of his diocese in which he warns the faithful not to - attend Mr. Parnell's meeting in Newry. He hoped that the poisoned atmosphere of the divorce court and the filthy, disgusting and scandalous details of the O'Shea case have not reached his diocese. The proposed meeting, he says, will be a wanton insult to religion, to the bishop and to the priests, and a laudation of a heaven-cursed crime. "Let God arise, and His enemies will be confounded. Forbearance has encouraged this iniquity. Let the grave men and true who love godliness and hate adultery use lawful means to save the honor and good fame of their mothers, wives and Bisters by resenting the daring aggression of those attempting to prostitute the country to aggrandize an individual and hide their own tiltby conduct." O'llrien and Dillon In Galway Jail. Dublin, Feb. 19. Mr. William O'Brien and Mr. John Dillon, who recently surrendered to the police at Folkeston, England, and who were taken to Clonmel jail in order to undergo their terms of imprisonment, were transferred to Galway jail at daylight this morning.

Though secrecy was observed throughout tue proceeding, the inhabitants of Tipperary got wind of the affair and assembled in crowds at the Tipperary railroad station and enthusiastically cheered the two members of Parliament as the tatter's train stopped for a few moments in their midst. Messrs. O'Brien and Dillon will complete their sentence in Galway jaiL REMARKABLE COINCIDENCE. London's Lord Mayor Delivers an Address Similar to One of Spurgeon's Sermons. London, Feb. 19.

The firm refusal of the Pennsylvania road to consider at all the proposals of their men for an advance has created a stir in railroad circles here. General Manager Wood, of the company, says no proposition of an increase in wages, at least, will be accepted, and the men say it either means this or a tie-up from Jersey City to Chicago with all branches.

The contractors say they intend to put a force of men at work on Monday. They propose to employ only American citizens, in accordance with tbe terms of tbeir contract, and this it is believed will averts any further trouble. An evening paper says: "It may now be said almost as positively as though it had been formally determined by the directors, that the lake front will be entirely abandoned as a site for the world's fair, and that the big show will be held under one tenr, as it were, at Jackson Park. It appears that the trades-unions are not satistied with the contract made by the directors for the work of preparing Jackson Park, The clause forbidding tbe employment of aliens is all well enougb, they say, as far as it goes, but they want the unions and the eight-hour day recognized, and they want a permanent board of arbitration appointed." .

People may admire Mr. Cleveland's courage and honesty, but I see nothing to be gained by our people by admiring the courage and honesty of a man who stands in the way of their prosperity and rejects their demand for the money of the Constitution, so necessary to give ns a healthful circulating medium now demanded, especially among the agricultural classes.

Concluded from First Pace.1 and each time stopped with Dr. Henricks. On one of these visits, nearly two years before the march to the sea.

Kimball, now cashier of the First National Bank, and Messrs. E. Fred Grether and John XL Leiuen, who were then partners with Dr. llenricks in tbe boot and shoe business. Mr. Grether says that on that evening General Sherman and Dr. llenricks were engaged in a game of chess when ail at once Dr. llenricks said the quickest way to bring the war to a close and break the backbone of the rebel- ' lion was to take an army and make a march of destruction from Atlauta through to tbe tea. The Doctor said he had studied the situation carefully; he believed such a move could be made and that it would end the war. He became so enthusiastic on the subject that he called to Mr. Grether to finish the game of chess with General Sherman while he (Dr. Henricks) made a plan of campaign. Mr. Grether took Dr. Henricks's place at the chess board and the Doctor called for his little daughter Julia td get her slate and atlas. In a short time he had the plan ready, and submitted it to General Sherman, who listened attentively while the plan was unfolded to him. Mr. Grether says General Shermsm was greatly impressed by all that Dr. Henricks said, and there was a lengthy discussion. "I am sure," said Mr. Grether, "that both exMayor Miller and Mr. Kimball will remember looking at the i plan as drawn by Dr. Henricks, and perhaps some of the details of the consultation. It may not be generally known, but Dr. Henricks was constantly in correspondence with the War Department during the rebellion, and I know that he received much correspondence from the department.'7 NOT SUIintlSED AT SIIILOII.

General Sherman's Caustlo Comments on the Skulkers in the Rear. About a year ago Marshall P. Wilder sent to General Sherman a copy of the New York Journalist containing a sketch of the battle of Shiloh as chiefly seen from the rear by a youthful drummer. The General sat down and wrote him the following very interesting letter: New Yokk, Jan. 1, 1890. "My Dear Friend I thank you for sending me the printed paper containing the observations and experiences of our friend about the battle of Shiloh, or Pittsburg Landing, April 6 and 7, 1802. Having leisure this New Years day, I have read every word of it, and from his stand-point as a boy in the rear of where the hard fighting was done his account is literally true. His father (a noble gentleman) and 1 were fighting for time because our enemy for tbe moment outnumbered us, and we bad good reason tit expect momentarily Lew Wallace's division, only six miles off', and Buell's whole army, only twenty miles away. By contesting every foot of ground the enemy was checked till night. Our reinforcements came, and on the 7th weswept on in front and pursued a retreating enemy ten miles, and afterwards followed up to Corinth, Memphis, Vicksburg, etc., to the end. "That bloody battle was fought April 6-7, 1862. After we had actually driven our assailants back to Corinth, twenty-six miles, we received the St. Louis, Cincinnati and Louisville newspapers, from which we learned that we were "surprised' bayoneted in our beds (blankets on the ground) and disgracefully routed. These reports were heard at the river bank and from steamboats under high pressure to get well away, and such is history. "In the rear of all battles there is a mass of fugitives. We bad at the time 32,000 men, of which say 5,000 or 6,000 were at the steamboat landing but what of the others! A braver, finer set of men never existed on earth. The reporters dwell on the fugitives .because- they were of them, but who is to stand up for the brave men at the front! We had no reporters with us. Like sensible men thev preferred a steamboat bound for Paducan and Cincinnati, whence they could describe the battle letter than we who were without pen or ink. 'This to me is straw already threshed, for we have fought this battle on paper several times, a much more agreeable task than to fight with bullets. When in England some years ago I was gratified tolisten to veterans fighting Waterloo and Sebastopol over again. So I infer our children will continue the fight of Shiloh long after we are dead and gone. Wishing you a happy New Year I am sincerely yours. W. T. SlIEKilAN. MEMORIAL SERVICES. Services In Honor of the Dead Commander Held at South Bend. Special to the Indianapolis J ournaL ' South Bend, Ind., Feb. 19. Interesting memorial services were held at the Third Regimental Armory, in this city, last evening, in honor of the dead commanders. Gen. Sherman and Admiral Porter. The services were under the auspices of Auten Post, No. 8, G. A. R., and were of an extremely impressive nature. Patriotic speeches were made by prominent speakers, and a general feeling of reverence pervaded the meeting. ' At Lebanon, Ind. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Lebanon, Ind., Feb. 19 Memorial services in honor of General Sherman were held at the opera-house this afternoon. The public schools were dismissed and all business suspended. THE GENERAL'S RELIGION. Testimony Corroborating; the Statements Made Yesterday by Thomas E. Sherman. fo the Etlitor of th Indianapolis Journal: The question of General Sherman's religious belief, a matter private to himself and his family, was most unbecomingly discussed by the press during his mortal illness. Nor is tbe matter allowed to rest even now that he is dead, as witness the dispatches of last night. The rudeness of this public meddling in private affairs might be overlooked were it not that sectarian bias, intolerance and eyident hatred of Catholicity, all. un-cbristiau and unAmerican sentiments, appear to indicate the animus of those who seem to be troubled about the issue and who try to shudder at the idea of General Sherman dying the recipient of the consolations afforded by tbe mother church tbe church in which he was baptized. General Sherman was baptized a Catholic, and there is no one who can successfully deny the fact. ' The records will show it, and Sister Anthony, of Cincinnati, who is familiar with the fact, asserts it. The writer, while a student at the University of Notre Dame, often talked about this and kindred topics with the late Father Gillisnie. of the university, and learned indirectly from bis sister, tbe late. Mother Angela, of St Mary's, the early and private history and relationships of the Blaines, tne Ewings and the Shermans. Gen. Sherman's father died when the embryo warrior was about eleven years of age. lie was adopted by Judge Ewing, of Lancaster, O., whose family was first among the Catholics of that State. Rather than have young Sherman remain an unbeliever under a Catholic roof he was instructed in the Catechism, and having long since attained to the years of reason, of his own motion and choice, after being so instructed, he was baptized a Catholic, lie was preparing for his first holy communion when a cadetship appointment to West Point Military Academy was procured for him by bis benefactor. Judge Ewing. He went to West Point, but not having opportunities for tbe practice of his religion, he naturally grew lukewarm, but when, after bis graduation, several years later, he married the daughter of Judge Ewing, the ceremony was performed by a priest. The dispatches cf last nittht and the testimony of the too willing ones do grave injustice to the memory of General Sherman by assigning him to apositiouof fvutaconisra to tbe Catholic Church, an attitude which he never claimed and never maintained. All he ever was he owed to his

adopted father. Judge Ewing. a Catholic, and after him to his Catholic wife, who was the daughter of his benefactor. To show what Catholic inlluence dia for him reference need but be made to what took place, 1 think, about the spring of 102. President Lincoln had relieved General Sherman . of bis command in Kentucky on the trumped-up charge of his being of unsouud mind; and one of the proofs privately alleged was his declaring, that it would require an army of 200,000 men to keep Kentucky in the Union, a statement which afterwards proved to be true. Mrs. Sherman did not believe her husband was deranged, and she set about arranging for a demonstration in his honor, to take place on his arrival home. The morning of his return, while at the breakfast table, he saw in the morning paper the charge that he was removed because of unsound mind. "There," he said to his wife, pointing to the paragraph, "how can I be present at or encourage this demonstration that yon have spoken off" "Just to prove to them, and through them to the whole country, that yoivare not crazy," said his wife. General Sherman attended the demonstration in . his honor and received an ovation, and the next day his devoted .Catholic wife was on her way to Washing ton with proofs irrefragable that her husband was not a crazy man. She laid tho case before the kind-hearted Lincoln, and as a result Goneral Sherman was restored to his command. Now. with the knowledge that we hiave 06 the life and manner of the dead General, and of his acquaintance with the truths of the Catholic faith and the kindly influence of Catholics exercised in his behalf, does it stand to reason that he should be as decidedly anti-Catholic as he is represented to bet On the contrary, he always respected the Catholio Church and its ministers, and on more than on occasion declared that if there was anything in Christianity it was to be found in the Catholic Church. The following auecdote will illustrate this: After the fall of Atlanta two non-Catbolio chaplains were summoned before the General, charged with appropriating two fine horses and sendingthemNorth fortheirown use, a mild way for saying they were horsethieves. In his own outspoken way Gen. Sherman demanded by what authority they were chaplains, when one of them re plied: "By what authority are your Catholio priests chaplains!'-' To this General Sherman responded: "By the authority of Jesus Christ, damn yon,' sir." This is vouched for by those who were present, ' and the proof can be given by the chaplain-at-large of the Indiana troops in the field. These things show that General Sherman always regarded the Catholic Church as the true depositary of faith, as the seat of divine authority on earth. And. although human respect made him a sort of spiritual laggard, his heart and his mind were ever right He belonged to the soul of tbe Catholic Church. . M. W. Carr.

Nothing ever disturbs him in the slightest degree, and he carries through his most extensive schemes with the air of a man who is bored by the world in general and not particularly impressed with the subject in band. On tbe night of his remarkable victory over the Wagnerites he was at a dinner of tbe hotel men at Delmonico's, where Col. John 1 A. Cockerill, a distinguished editor, was a fellow-guest The two men drifted together over the cigars at the close of the dinner, and when the Colonel was starting down town to his office he asked Abbey if he cared to walk a few blocks that way. Abbey pulled out his watch and said: "Well, no; I can't very well just now. I want to go up to my oihce and see if there is a note for me there. The directors are considering a proposition of mine to take the Metropolitan Opera-house next year." "Oh, are they!" said the Colonel, without any particular interest "You might telephone down to the office if they do anything in tbe matter." All right," said Mr. Abbey, casually, "if I find that I am nearing a telephone later on, I may try it." The Colonel went down to his office and thought no more about it Abbey's manner had been so inconsequential and unimportant that he did not regard the change of the slightest moment About midnight an assistant editor in the office went to the telephone and received a message from some one aptown, which had the effect of turning him around like a top. He rnshed into the Colonel's room with the announcement that the Germans had been routed horse and foot in the Metropolitan Opera-house and that Abbey was to take control. In a moment tbe musical critic and one or two assistants in the otiice were dying around, reporters were sent hurriedly uptown and preparations for publishing tbe details o f the greatest revelation of the year were pushed forward. Nobody was so much surprised as the Colonel, and he owed it all to the manner of fathomless indifference whioh lies so easily upon Abbey's ohoulders. Secret of General Sherman's Popularity. Chicago Inter Ocean. Those who study his army career carefully will find at the bottom of the brilliant achievements and as a basis for the tremendous energy in accomplishing tbis controlling motive, love of country. It softened the rugged, resolute nature, it tempered his moods of fiercest passion, and it made him tbe appreciative companion of tbe humble soldiers striving in the drudgery of army work. It made him calm in terrific battle, courageous in defeat, relentless in carrying out war measures, and tender and considerate in the treatment .of prisoners. Any estimate of Sherman's character is incomplete that does not make conspicuous this dominant trait which made him one of the finest and highest types of the American citizen, lie met on this level the grizzly veterans of the old regular army, the impulsive and enthusiastic men

A CONFEDERATE PANTI1EOX. An Institution That May Please Living Southerner bnt Not Their Ieacendanta. Philadelphia Inquirer. The pantheon idea has come np again in anew shape. It is now proposed to convert the "White Houso of the Confederacy " at Richmond, into a memorial and till it with the ashes and statues of confederate heroes. A writer in the Richmond Dispatch proposes that Jetlerson Davis shall be interred there as the chief occupant . of the place, and says: "Let him be Iplaced. like Lee. in Lexington, with a recumbent or erect marble statue, and let the busts of such tnan as Johnston, Longstreet, Stuart, llill. etc, surround him." And then what! The pantheon will carry down to future generations tbe record of its tenants or of those to whose memory it is dedicated. ' It will tell its own story to posterity, and we rather fancy that the posterity of those whom it commemorates will be less comfortable in its contemplation than the posterity of those against whom they fought. That it will commemorate a lost cause is no disgrato. Many of the most glorious figures in history are heroes of lost causes. If amah tights bravely for the right, it is no discredit to him that tho wrong prevails. But when he fights bravely for tne wrong tbe case is widely different, lie may be just as enthusiastic and his immediate descendants may be just as proud of him, but the sober judgment of posterity will prefer to cover his career with tho charitable mantle of oblivion. The North can look on with entire complacency while the Mouth builds its pantheon to the confederate heroes. It will keep alive their glory for awhile and will please their old comrades but ( there is no danger that it will revive the' secession spirit, and, therelore, it will be harmless. A few generations hence, when passions shall have cooled and judgment resumed its swayabove all, when the unerring indications of experience shall have shown the wisdom of keeping the Nation intact and the folly of attempting to break it CP, the pantheon will be viewed with very different eyes, and the descendants of the men who are now. working for its erection will beg leave to take it down and destroy the memorial of tbeir fathers' error. Let tbe confederate pantheon be bnilt, by ali means. It will be its own punishment to its builders. Senator 8poonera First loIlar. Hew York Continent. Senator John C.Spooner, of Wisconsin, sat beside a little table in a parlor of the Fifth-avenue Hotel, not long ago. and told a few friends how be earned his first dollar. He was not, at that early time, compelled to earn the dollar by necessity, for his father was a fairly successful lawyer. Hut the future Senator was ambitious, and he wished to give his father unmistakable evidence of his Yankee grit and business ability. Accordingly, young John Spooner went forth into the world about seven blocks from home, and made a contract to saw a cord of wood forth Then he secured more, contracts, and hawed his way into tbe possession of $7. At this point the Senator introduced a pig into his btory, and from that time to tho end of tbe tale it was nip and tuck between the nig and the moral lor tho interest of tbe listeners, Tbe $7 was invested in a pig and some old lumber for a pen. The band that was to handle a toga built the sty. Uut alas! when the stv was done the pig was dead. "Hut 1 had the stv, anyhow. put in the Senator as a clincher at the cud of his anecdote. He promised to tell another story at another time, snd he further promised that there would be more moral in it and less pig. Painful Announcement Chicago Nsws.
