South and North
From the Mobile Register.l

From the Mobile Register.l
We have had, Of late, frequent
statements concerning the deprecia.
tiop OF property at the North; of the
general depression of trade; and Of
the supposed reasons therefor.
Whatever these may be, the fact is
the same; while in the South it would
seem that an upward tendency is
universal, both in values and in bnsi-
ness. A contemporary justly argues
that our people are really better off.
than those of the North; that if we
have not enough money to. supply
the wants of trade, we do not owe
so much. and are therefore not under
the necessity of sacrificing property
to so great an extent to meet debts.
We have hadabundant crops Of the
cereals, cotton, tobacco and fruits,
so that there is no danger of starva-
ton to either man or beast. Our
mines and manufactures are located
in the midst of agricultural districts,
and if they have but little work for
their employees, in this climate there
is no danger Of protracted suffering.
Besides our people have learned, by
bitter lessons, to economist to the
extreme limit; and they now not
only bear the pinch, when it comes,
but learn to discount it in advance.
The miserable financial system fas-
tehed upon the whole country, and
the misgovernment and robbery spe-
cial to our part of it, have made
suffering that time and change alone
can cure; but we agree with the
more hopeful view, that on the whole
we are better off than the North, at
least in the future before us.

II the Democrats shall
have the address to remain inactive
and thereby give full play to these
disturbing agencies among their
opponents-if they shall carefully
avoid all attacks on the common
Republican policy that would unite
their antagonists in q common de-
fence, and limit their efforts in con-
gress to fair investigation, retrench
ment and the exposure and proven
ton of official fraud, it is probable
we shall see an angry outbreak in
the Republican party chat will rem
der the election Of an unobjectiona
BILE Democratic ticket next Novem-
Der inevitable. There are no such
agencies OF discord between the
Democrats and Republicans at pres
ent as there are between the Re-
publicans and their own president.
The nominal antagonism Of the for
mer may. therefore, well yield place
to the active hatreds Of the latter.
The Democrats may cease quarrel
ling with their enemies to afford
their enemies better opportunity
for quarrelling among themselves.
No one can predict what is to come
of this constantly widening and
deepening whisky ring prosecution
that Secretary Bristow has set on
foot; nor Of the feyerish agitation Of
the third-term now again occupying
the Republican journals; but one
thing the Democrats in congress
may take for granted 1.-The safest
course for them to adopt is to wait
and watch till the time for action is
unmistakable indicated.-ISt. Louis

| the late Orestes A. Brownson, whose powerful
| pen was used for the last time in preparing ON
| article for this Rerieso. This tribute to his
memory is full of truth aud feeling, doing full
justice to the greatness of his in tellect and ex-
cusing with charity those few imperfeotions of
manner which were sometimes visible in his
long career as q Reviewer. The intellectual
non-CatEolic world, which boasts of its admi-
ration for mental greatness for intellectual
strength is silent over the tomb of this hero of
Catholic principles. It twines no laurel for his
brow, no immertelies for his memory. Well do
We know the reason why. We can afford to let
them be SILENT but it is a grateful task for us
Catholics to bear in mind one who realized in
himself the power of Truth and the nobility of
good will.
We think every intelligent Catholic ought to
subscribe to this grand American Review, at
ouce an honor to Catholics and credit to our
age But above all do we wish that every nom
Catholic or unbelieving brother would take and
read it, that seeing the Church, in it's pages,
properly represented and nobly vindicated, he
might catch a glimpse of that trsnscendent
loveliness which flashes upon the minds and
hearts of all who look with respectful interest
into the face of her who is the Spouse of
Christ.
