We devote much of our space to-day to a
description of the ceremony Of the install laton
Of the new Archbishop Of New York, which
took place yesterday. 1t was, in many regards,
an important event. and was, no doubt, to all
those who witnessed it, both imposing and sig
nfcant In the midst Of ssnguinary unfra-
ternal conflict, while the vultures of war are
sweeping over hundred battle fields, the dove
ofpeace spread her wings yesterday above the
old Cathedral of st. Patrick, where minister
and messenger of the Gospel OF Christ was con-
Quoted to the Episcopal chair, from which no
words bat those Of peace, charity and good
will to men are to go forth.


Whoever may be the incumbent Of the Arch
iepscopal See Of New York, the position
embraces much that is important, not alone
to the interests Of the Catholic Church. but
to the country at large. Although, acc ord
ing to ecclesiastical discipline, it is only second
to the Archbishopric Of Baltimore in rank,
yet in point Of fact it may be regarded as first
Certainly in the influence, social and political
which it carries with it, it is so. 8,
The Archbishop of New York wields a vast



ment, which, as well as the members OF his
church Ito the manor born" forms very
large portion OF our population. He has it in
his power to invest it with spirit of loyalty, o
dignity OF citizenship, speedy infusion into
the general body of our people. all of which
are so essential to the well being, morals and
prosperity Of o community. Thus we regard
the installation Of the Most Rev. DR.. McClos-
key, the successor Of Archbishop Hughes, as
an event of no common interest and moment.
His predecessor was q remarkable man; more
remarkable perchance as politician than as a
| prelate but In whatever capacity we may
regard Archbishop Hughes he has left a name
American history, as well as an impress upon
the character OF the Catholic community in
America which neither time nor prejudice can
abolish.


For twenty-six years he presided over the
diocese Of New York as Bishop and Archbishop
in the first capacity (partly as coadjutor) from
1888 to 1850, and In the latter from that time
until his death. Archbishop McCloskey is q
younger dignitary Of the Church. He was con.
secrated OoadJutor Bishop OF New York In
1874, and has occupied the Episcopal See o.
Albany for seventeen years.


We all remember how stubbornly the late
Archbishop battlcd for the civil and religious
privileges Of his flock; how he laid the founda.
ton Of the future magnificent cathedral; how
lust and firm he was when it seemed to hin
we'll and proper to enter the political arena
how he called his people together during the
fearful riots Of last July, with q hope to stay
the senseless passions which ever govern |
mob, and, though too late to spare the blood
shed, at least poured the oil of Christian cha
rty upon the troubled waters.


His successor assumes his vacated authorit,
in troublous times; but IL may be allotted 4

ON the line of the Atlantic and Great West
ern Railway, near Wooster, Ohio, the embank-
ment and track lately disappeared in a most
mysterious manner. Upon examination ii was
found that about one hundred feet of the road
had sunk and was continuing to sink, while in
the cavity formed black mud and heavy streams
OF water gushed from below. With the water
there were thrown up number of eyeless fish,
still living. The sink is one of great depth,
and considerable difficulty will be experienced
in filing it.

JUDGE SPRINGER-The District Court
has finally adjourned, after having dis
posed of large amount of important
business, and Judge Springer has returned
to his residence for short respite, prior
to the commencement Of the Mt. Pleasant
term.


The labors of District Judge in the
First Judicial District are arduous, un-
questionably more so than in any other
District in the State; but we are glad to
see that Judge Springer's health, which,
when be first went on the bench promised
to be inadequate to the task before him,
is much improved. As Judge, his
course gives eminent satisfaction to the
bar, we believe, OF the whole District, and
certainly to that of Lee county.


As presiding officer, his manner is
most admirable, kind and courteous to
all, but firm enough for every exigency.
This, taken in connection with his learn
ing as lawyer, his very considerable
experience as Judge, and bis undoubted
integrity and honesty as man, thoroughly
fit him for the position be occupies. =

BEGINNING TO SEE IT.-Even the Bos-

far as to concede that the destruction of
Slavery by the war is all right. 1t says:


The South rushed to arms especially to
protect the institution of Slavery, an
institution which paratively few Nor
thern men approve. The friends of State
rights in the North, as body, never de-
Tended Slavery upon its merits, but, bra
vely bearing the opprobrlum of doing SO,
which was inevitably thrust upon them by
their political antagonists, they faithfully
defended those constitutional rights that
gave to Slavery its security. But when

with those who complain of his very retca,kaoia
declaration that two thirds Of the army arc away

OF encouraging The enemy, We think the statement
calculated to have the very opposite effect They
fancy that we have all our men in t e field, and
cannot raise any more to take their places The
President undeceives them. He shows them that
whilst whipping them with one third, there remain
two.thirds Of our fighting population as reserve
to fall back upon"


First, it is likely the President said one third !;
next if he said two-thirds, it was most encourag
ing statement especially to the enemy, and where
fore? Was there ever such reason given by a

whipped them with one third, and that when we
fall back on our desertcrs, who constitute most of
the two thirds, that then we shall commence to fight
in earnest! Our reserve" is composed of absen.

and We shall in term "fall tack" upon them, then
