' It is uow apparent that the North is safferiug mori at thia time front the effecLs of the war than the Sonth is suffering. Immediately npon the heels of the collapse in 1865, came 1 the loss of the negroes who were the basis of the credit of the entire South. A wide spread calamity more ruinous than actual war itself j overtook the people, and poverty and debts - that . wen? unmanageable were" the inheri tanco of nearly all. , Then came the .ingeniouf,! devilish;- systematic; . and persistent peisecu lions of the aggres sive, dominant, 'and intolerant North, that, puffed up to the exploding point by the triumphs of its! armies which were recruited from the four corners of the earth, and that, were four .or' ti ve times more - numerous- than the forces thny had defeated,-stood ready to niay the goose that laid the golden, egg, thinking that such as. the hour of victory was would the. future be. The turning of the scales has been slow but inevitable. ;Tbe North had fairly rioted in the fat of the earth for more than ten years before there : were : manifest - and unmistakable signs that the tide qf. prosperity was turning, and that the flush-times were destined soon to' be aj memory i and not a reality. But the shiinkage, the changeihe' collapse must oome. t .Wise men' prepared for the financial storm that sent out its warnings in advance. " Even in 1871, there began y to be heard faint murmurings of that ). storm of ruin that was to break upon K) a great, -boastful,.i plethoric, insolent North that had rejoiced in the mis fortunes and sufferings ;of the people of the South, and' had with marvel lous ingenuity added to their tortures. In 1872,' the '. ; J efchurun-like : bond holders and ownets of real estate the men 'who, had waxed fat and had kicked high,5 began to have some prelibations of that cnpl of bitterness which in 1873 they would begin to drink, and which they would not . have emptied by the year of grace 1878 That the storm has come, and has swept with devastating1 effects over the land, is no w a mailer of history. lens of thousands of victims.. have been drawn' in,o.the financial : mat- strom. The men who rolled in wealth and fared in mplnouslyKevery day are now many of them too poor to have any mammon-worshipper to do them ' reverence, whilst a little fat meat and hominy would not be distasteful to their sharpened appetites. We quote from that' strong Re publican paper, the Chicago Tribune, that has "cried havoc so often when j the South was to suffer:' "Chicago. . like all otber parts of the country, Iraa suffered from this terrible de- " cliue in the market value of real-estate. Tbe decline in other cities has been forced somewhat by tue 'deftdnesa' which first felt upon real estate in JHew x or k city, ana wUich sympatbeticaUy extended even to uuicago. vi lie t taoiea $ puoiisnea recenuy ly the bankruDt and falline insurance com- f punies of the. shiinkage of values of im t proved city . property - ja New - York bav had a depressing effect upon the property elsewhere, i Hroperty taken 1 by insurance comnanics under , niortgaee In New York city- on ,1 Broadway, gome f of. it-is not valued bv,di8interested appraisers at more than one-third of the cum at i which it wtt counted among the asset of - the company. - ..

' J. ' In 1872 Bishop Odenheiraer, of the Episcopal Church, wrote a letter to Colonel R. S. Swords, pf Newark, in which he referred,, in; very kind terms to the Catholic BishopjBayley's usefnl labors in New Jersey- Bishop Bay ley had been made ;Arphbish0p and had removed to Baltimore. The letter of the Episcopal sBishop was sentj to him, and in October, 1872, he wrote to Colonel Swords acknow ledging iu reception. 1 We quote a passage from that . letter . which: is highly creditable- to . his , Chnstian liberality and charity;! , A i ' "I was r very much ' touched by Bishop Odenbeimer's kind reference to me In his letter to you as President of the.

The following extract from an editorial in the 'Herald is not without interest: - r ; "To judge of the cool deliberation with which. Stanley embarked in this his last and greatest enterprise, we need but read his letter dated at JNyangwe, 01. which we print this morning a copy of the duplicate preserved by him, tbe original having been sent to the ' East Coast. He fully", appre ciated the danger of the journey down the Xiualaba, out wholly undaunted by it he re marks. "It must be a verv strong tribe in- -de'edl that can turn us back now." . By this simple sentence he indicates his determina tion! to nroceed. no m&tler wha or what barred the way. Just before he had penned 'this Expression of heroic resolve he had lost many men by desertion and sickness. . His hitherto most faithful follower, Kalulu, had left him.' although he afterward returned to Ills duty, i He was short of supplies and six monthajourney from Zanzibar and assist ance 'let, with tbe true adventurous dash that half, winsthe .battle, he plunges into the unknown and emerges a conqueror. .
