In a communication to the New York Independent, Bishop Haven, says foe following good words concerning foe Chicago Inter-Ocean: The Inter-Ocean, an admirable name, is the clearest, wisest, and strongest of American dailies in the treatment of the great Southern problem—as far from settlement to day as when Lee surrendered his sword Mid pen and politics reopened the war. It is the tree and almoet only successor of the great New York Tribune of ante-bellum fame and power. There is no uncertain sound in its; columns. Telegraphic and editorial, it sees the terrible wilderness trials of the men of the South, whose chains were loosened, not dissolved by Lincoln and by Grant. When it circulates eastward as the Greeley journal of yesterday went westward, we shall feel and follow our way ont of the lowness, and guiltiness, and cowardice and crime that now nationally envelop and fetter us.
