The editor of the Cincinnati Enquirer failed to publish McMaster's answer, thereby showing his infidelity to Catholics who had been his friends. The mere fact of publishing the letter would have redeemed the editor in the eyes of the Catholics. The editor has lost all that Protestant Christianity taught him as a boy. Several Catholics here have given up the paper. A talented Benedictine Dom Paul Jausions is engaged in writing the life of Bishop Brute. He is a nephew of the Bishop and will have access to all the family papers. He has written Bishop James R. Bayley for a Journal which is in his hands. From Vincennes have come only the personal reminiscences of one or two old Missionaries. All the papers they possessed were shipped to New York at the request of Bishop John Hughes in 1848. They were to have been returned by last Easter, but they are there yet. He mentions that McMaster did him a bad turn by using his name in a prominent manner on several occasions.
