BALTIMORE, Oct. 70, 1871
Baltimore will tomorrow witness one OF the most
solemn and impressive ceremonies OF the Catholic
Church. the occasion being the installation OF the
Right Rev. Bishop Bayley, OF Newark, N. j., as
Archbishop OF Baltimore, under the Brief OF Plus
TX. Of July 80, 1872.
This city now possesses historic interest not
only as the Monumental City, but also as the Prima-
tial See OF the Roman Catholic Church in the United
States. Although constituted Bshopric as early as
$780, 1t was not elected into an Archiepiscopal See
until 1908. 1t is named after the first Lord Bal
timore, George Calvert, whose brother Leonard was
chief OF the Pilgrim Fathers OF Maryland and first
Governor OF the province under the charter granted
by Charles 1t was the little band OF zoo Catholic
immigrants whom the adventurous spirit Of Calvert
guided over the stormy deep In the Ark and
the Dove that laid broad and deep the great princ
pies OF constitutional liberty In Maryland and first
unfured above Its virgin soil the bright banner Of
civil and religious freedom, giving q cordial wei
come on the shores Of the Chesapeake to all men,
Of whatever creed or nationality. There are
twenty-five Catholic churches. among which
the massive Cathedral, with its lofty dome
and symmetrical towers, stands conspicuOusly In
the very heart OF the city. 1t contains also many
Catholic institutions Of charity. The most promi-
nent OF these are ST. Marys, st. Vncent's and st.
Patrick's Orphan Asylums; the Home Of the Little
Sisters Of the Poor, the Baltimore Infrmary,
the Convent OF the Good Shepherd, ST. Joseph's
German Hospital, st. Anthony's Asylum and
the houses Of industry. Baltimore contains popu-
lation OF nearly three hundred thousand souls
large proportion OF whom are Catholics. At the
time OF the first provincial councl-held here in
1829-the Catholic hierarchy OF the United States
consisted of only ten bishops. Now there are seven
archbishops and about sixty bishops within the
limits Of the Union The growth Of the Church In
this country has been truly marvellous, far exceed
ing the ratio Of increase in population. Since the
formation Of the government our Catholic pOpula-
tion has increased from twenty-five thousand to
about six Millions
The installation Of an Archbishop is always an
event Of absorbing interest to the Catholic COM
munity. The ceremonies attending 1t are not in
some respects so solemn and impressive as the
conservation of preate OF that dignity, being
simple and much briefer. They are, nevertheless.
quite imposing, and partake OF the sublime grandeur
with which the Church invests all her solemnities.
In the Of the transfer OF bishop from diocese
to an archdiocese-as in the case Of Right Rev.
James Roosevelt Bayley, D. D.-there is no act of
conservation performed, that having been already
accomplished in his installation as bishops but by
the reception OF the paium and the taking Of
new oath OF allegiance to the Holy See, he Is ele-
waited In dignity and his Jurisdiction is enlarged.
