the Archbishop would be able to meet all his obsa-
tions. and that the panic was altogether I'M
called for. The Catholics of Charleston were
quite willing to come his assistance it IL

iterated that his assets were far in advance OF his
liabilities. Besides this. not more than fort

upon themselves the task of relieving the Archbishop

PHILADELPHIA, March 3, 1879.
When the HERALD correspondent called upon Arch
bishop Wood yesterday TO ask his opinion upon tho
financial troubles Of Archbishop Purcell, he declined
at that time to permit him TO make public any express
sion OF views coming from him officially.
Through his Secretary. Father Brennan he ntimated
that no did not know the full story of the matter
He. however. said that he would read the account
published in the HERALD. with the suggestions
therein. to make good tho deficiency by general
contribution. To-day called again upon His Grace
and when. through the courtesy OF Father Brennan
1 obtained audience, he sad:--
II know absolutely nothing about the financial
affairs OF the Archbishop of Cincinnati. except what
nave read IN the newspapers. II the published
statements bc rounded on fact have but express
my regret and sympathy for the aged, venerable and
sanity Archbishop"
He declined to say what he thought of the general
subscription plan to relieve the preate. From mo-
matter. Only one side of tho story was given lie
had seen no statement from the Archbishop himself
and any opinion he formed now would, therefore, bo
premature. The subject was evidently q painful one

bishop Purcell have been most intimate IL was His
