No action was Bad upou the resolu. sion by the Commitiee yesterday. “A CATHOLIC” writes wo the New York Temes 10 inquire where Gen. Kilpatrick coald Bave ‘gone to meeting” when he represented ue in Ubili. The inquiry is raised in conse- quence of the statement by Gen. K. that when the news of President Lincoln's a<sassication reached that country one «universal cry of heartfelt grief went up from every home in Chih; al) ptaces of basiness were closed, and the Te Deum was sung in all the cathedrals of the Republic.” As the 7¢ Deum is always used as a Bymn of joy and praise, “CatBolic” thinks it not quite likely that it was sung on that occasion. But perhaps Gen. K. wrote er meant to write Tridium instead of Te eum. The former is a season of mourning in the Catholic Church, cpntimuing three days. A Tridiun was lately beld in the Georgetown, D.C, Catholic Churc& in memory of the Ustholic missionaries whe suffered martyrdom in J- pan, and who were afterwarde canonizei.
