THE CARDINAL.
Three acolytes in scarlet and lace, the
central one holding golden vase filled
with holy water, preceded Cardinal Nc
Closkey. The Cardinals soutane of wa
tered red silk rustled as be moved, and
its train swept far behind him. His
waist was girt with deep sash of water
ed red silk, the ends being weighted with
large golden tassels. A surplice of finest
lace was above the soutane. A pectoral
cross of gold hung from his neck by q
gold chain. From his shoulders flowed
a mantle of watered white silk encrusted
with golden blazonry. The centre of
the dazzling show was a pelican nour-
ishing her nestlings with her life blood,
typifying the supreme devotion of the
church to her children. Upon the Car
dinal's venerable head was cap of gold
embroidered cloth of gold. The Cardi-
NAILS pages, six chubby boys, in white
soutanes and lace abs, bearing the Car
6inal's red velvet silver bound missal,
his jewelled triple cross and lighted ia
per, signifying the light of the faith that
his ministration ever yields, and red vel
vet cushions to receive his cope and
pectoral cross were the last of the stately
procession. 1t was the most impressive
and most dazzling that ever trod the
aisles of q New World cathedral. The
vast audience arose, and remained stand
ing, while the procession passed down
the centre aisle to the grand central por-
tai. The crowds outside the building
also remained uncovered during the GER
emonies. The Cardinal, on passing out
through the portal, turned towards the
building and offered up PRAYER. Then
he recited the antiphon "Thou shalt
sprinkle me with hyssop, O Lord" &c.
He then sprinkled the holy water on the
walls above and below, the chorus chant
ing the "Miserere." The procession then
marched around the building, the Car
dinal sprinkling the walls as he passed
along. The sight was a splendid and
striking one. The sun shone brightly on
the gorgeous and glittering vestments of
archbishops and bishops, and a hundred
different shades of color were reflected
back. The windows and roofs of the
neighboring houses were thronged with
spectators, and the streets were crowded.
The sweet voices of the choristers rang
out clear and musical on the balmy air.
After making the round of the building,
the procession re-entered the cathedral
by the same door at which it came out,
and marched to the high altar. Then

THE OFFICIAL report OF the operations
of the Motfet Liquor law, in Virginia,
shows the total receipts to be S472, s34
being an excess of $40, 63s over TIE as
sessments of the preceding year, which,
after deducting the rebates allowed un-
der the law, leaves n net balance OF
Sll0,GGl in excess of the results of the
old law. The State Auditor says the
result of til. experiment shows clearly
that the law is capable of being made a
most powerful agency for raising rrve-
nue., and suggests number Of nodifca-
tons ard changes to that end.
AS our Legislature is now in session
and they will no doubt be asked to dc
something looking to more stringent
enforcement Of the license law, it may
not be out of place to call the attention
Of our legislators to the Motfet bel

One Of the snrest indications Of re-
turning good times il til. increased &C.
tivi,y manifested amongst the iron
manufacturers. In mastery review
Of the trade the Iron .ige, published in
Philadelphia, presents an interesting
array Of statistic. which proves that
the bottom has been reached IL that
business, and now more favorable
und-rtole prevails in the markets. A
correspondent evidently we'll booked
up in the business, writing to the Age
says: During tn. past three months
there has been greater demand than
in 1877, with less persistent demands
from buyers for lower prices. 1t seems
evident that in my line OF goods prices
may b said to be very close 10 abso.

with the mos. perfect machinery and

outlook the sam. correspondent says:

prlsed at the increasing demand for
goods Of reliable manufacture. ! have
been for several months getting ready
for the coming business From the
article in question we can safely infer
that IN pig iron Il larger volume of
business is anticipated during this
year, and in structural iron the PhG
nix Iron Co., the Prncoyd and others
have increased their business on an
averag. from % to IS per cent. during
1873, and it is expected to take a new
start this month. Plate and sheet iron
are in healthy condition. Will. there
has been no advance in prices there
has been steady increase of orders
Even bar iron has been picking up dur
ing the past few weeks and an increas-
cd consumption is expected during the
year. Steel rails are already command
ing higher prices, and in the iron rail
trade the rates have taken an upward
turn and old rails rule steady.

The Question Of caDltal punishmeris
is exsrsbiug the min Of some of the
State Legislatures during this winter,
and it u said that inindiana de,er-
mined sGor, VII be nade at the com.
ing session to have the death pena'ty
abolished. Additional interest has
been added to this question from the
fact that three men were stfans!sd 70
death, in January. last, right under the
windows of the Legislative halls. Down
South there seems to be a movement
in augurated TO ease down little Oh
those adjudged guilty Of capital crimes,
By new law IA Georgia murder is to
be punished by death unless the jury
shall recommend Imprisonment for life,
or the Judge shall, in his discretion,
exter d that clemency where the con-
vic ton has been found solely on cir
cumstautial evidence. II seems 10 US
that there is much merit in such law
as that, and now while our Legislature
is in session We would submit the qu-s-
ton whether some Modification in the
law Of Delaware. in capital cases, is hot
desirable.
We do not advocate the abolition OF
the death penalty for anything which
the laws Of thu State max. punishable
with death, but it does look somehow
az il there should bs some court with
the power TO postpone the day Of exc
cuLion, il after discovered evidence
arises which would lessen the degree Of
guilt Tor which tn. prisoner may have
been convicted aud may have been sen
fenced todeath. We need not conceal
tn, tact that TO this day there are but
few who think that the two negroes,
Chambers an. Collins, who, 10 doubt,
deserved som. punishment, should not
have been executed undrr the cifcu,u-
stances, in the face o! after discovered
evidence.
