The money market this morning ruled
quiet and easy, with little spirit exhib-
tied in financial circles aside from the
regular local checking and depositing.
The discount market is steady and UNI
changed. Firstclass paper rules at 90
10 % cent. p annum; on the streets
money is plentiful at l@2 p cent. y
month. Brokers are paying Ill for gold.
Exchange is easy; between banks the
rate is 50 . $1,000; on New York and
Eastern points buying at par and selling
at fc premium, and on New Orleans at
}c discount, City bonds, coupons and
Nicholson pavement scrips remain quiet,
with moderate demand and few trans
actions. County and State warrants
remain steady. There is little or moth
ing doing in railroad stocks or Misst-
sippi or Arkansas securities.

Correspondence New YORK Herald
Up to the present time he has con-
quered in every struggle. Let it suffice
him, for In this war against the Church
he is certain to be ultimately defeated.
The Imprisonment Of Archbishop Lee
doehowski is one of the very few foolish
things which Prince Bismarck has ever
done. How silly it is may be proved to
demonstration. The Archbishop has
been fined no less than $4,000 thalers.
Now, considering that a debt of 100
thalers involves an Imprisonment of SIX
weeks, according to Prussian law, the
Archbishop must remain IN prison for
thirty-three years before he can purge
himself of the fines imposed upOnhim !
The Germans, who are inclined to take
reasonable views Of Prince Bismarck's
recent proceedings, are therefore natur-
ally asking what the Prince is going to
do with the other Bishops, who are be-
ing condemned, day after day, TO fines,
which theyrefuse to pay. For instance,
the case Of the Archbishop of Cologne
is hard one. All hisproperty has been
already seized, and it is sunderstOOd that
he is about to seek refuge in Holland.
Will Prince Bismarck insist upon his
extradition, in order TO shut him up for
life? He has been declaring lately
that he will declare war against France
unless her policy is virtually anti
Catholic. VIII he declare war also
against Holland and likewise against
every other country where the perse-
cuted Bishops may fly for refuge? If
so, no wonder he asmade the question
of a federal military law for the new
empire he has established the principal
feature Of his speech at the opening of
Parliament, which has Just met Prince
Bismarck has simply mania for right
ing, and in any strife where strength
and downright pluck could help him he
would come off victorious, as he always
has done. The Church, however, Is un-
der the special protection of the God of
battles, and this stern, resolute German
has yet to learn the strength of her
artillery. One might have expected
from Prince Bismarck almost any thing
but a blunder, and in attacking the
Church he has committed several.

In his opening prayer said the light of the

men, but there are mysterious shadows in
many dwellings. We miss those of our
members who are withdrawn from their
seats and are lying prostratc with Sickness
and disease, and especially one who but
yesterday came into this chamber with all
the presence Of his manly form. but new
when we meet again this morning he lies
close to the brink of darkness. God. we
btSeech thee be very near the soul of thy
servant at this time. If it were possible we
would pray Thee TO restore him. but if
Thou hast otherwise appointed then we
beSeech Thee to support him with the hope
of thy people and with the glorious pros
pect of a coming resurrection and blessed

the population Of France could not read or
write; and out Of this one-half came, dur
ing those years, % per cent. Of the persons
arrested for crime, and 81 per cent. of those
