The Congressional Globe was among the Bnbjects wbich came to the surface momenta rily duriDg the closing hours of the Forty first CoDgress. Mr. Proaser, who hails from Tennessee, was anxious that such members as had not reoeived complete sets of the Globe should be furnished with them. Mr. Prosser Dot baying been elected a member of the Forty-second Congress, doubtless was anxious to secure a complete set for himself, to hand down to unborn generations of Prossers as an heirloom. Cut the resolution which he pre sented for carrying his $54,000 swindle into execution failed to obtain the two-thirds vote required for the suspension of the rules, and Prosscr must devote $43 of his own money t tLe inrchese of his heirloom, or else de prive his descendants of its custody. It appeared that, when the Sft'&iy of Congressmen was increased, Some fifteen years ago, to its present stan dard, a provision was inserted in the act whereby the right of members to complete sets of the Globe, theretofore enjoyed, was abolished. And yet, in defianoe of this pro vision, it appears that the members of the three preceding Congresses had complacently voted themselves the complete sets of the Globe which their predecessors had solemnly declared they should not have, and it was on this tbrice-repeated violation of the law that Mr. Frosser, based his argument for another infringement. It is trne the amount involved was small when compared with that involved in many of the schemes by which our national legisla tors are accustomed to swell their compensa tion. It was a mere trifle, m fact, by the side of the burden shouldered npon the coun try by the scandalous abuses of- the franking privilege. Yet, if we are ever to have a policy of economy inaugurated, it must b6gin with these trifles. The whole business of the publication of the debates of Congress needs an overhauling. A specious attempt at refor mation was made duriDg the earlier period of the Forty-first Congress, but nothing came of it; and, as Mr. Laflin showed, the Globe had become a greater expense to the country during the past two year thin ever before. The debates of the Thirty-third Congress, from December, 1853, to March, 1855, were compressed into a single volume, while those of the Forty-first Congress will, make eleven volumes, and cost the Govern ment nearly half a million dollars. It will be worth the while of the new C jngress to devise some scheme by which a return to the stand ard of twenty years ago can be made, approxi mately at least. The saving of a mere hun dred thousand would not be distasteful to the people. The tinkering to which .the reports in the Globe are habitually subjected renders that cumbersome periodical practically worth less, and if the debates are not to be printed as they actually transpire, it would be quite as well not to print them at all. If nothing is to be done in the interest of economy, something should surely be yielded to veracity, and every man who takes the floor be handed down to posterity verbatim et literatim. Those windy harangues which are written merely for publication in the Globe, and are never delivered, should likewise be shut down npon, for the sake of both veracity and economy, and no member should be allowed hereafter to pnt on record a single word which is not uttered on the floor of the house of which he is a member. The Congressional Globe affords the revenue reformers of the Forty-second Congress a good beginning, in the only line in which a revenue reform is possible that of the doing away with all ex penditures of the publio money which are useless, if not worse than useless. THE NEW YORK FOUNDLING ASYLUM. The New York Foundling Asylum, which has only been in operation about sixteen months, has already received and provided for 1727 children, and the extent of it operations affords a strong indication of the necessity of a similar institution in Philadelphia. It is amazing that a city which abounds in benevo lences of to many other desortione should do nothing, or worse than nothing, for in. fantile humanity. We have a unm1 er of ex. cellent hospitals, and provide well for the blind, the deaf and dumb, the insane, the poor, the crimina', the weak, the Tphan chil dren who hwe advanoed beyond the perilous period of infancy, and even for erring women; but as for the babies, if they have not de Toted friends or parents to take charge of them, they fare as badly, in Philadelphia as in the counties where infanticide is not considered a crime. We have no place for them except the Almshouse, and the statistics of that institution show that they stand little better chance far life there than if ibey were thrown to the croco diles in the Ganges. How many infants are murdered outright there is n0 means of knowing abso'ute'y, but that the aggregate is fearfu'ly large cannot be donbted by those who note the extraordinary frequency of ao tual or probable infanticide cases reported; and it cannot be questioned that there is a dreadful dearth of charitable assistance in a quarter in wlioh it is moat imperatively needed, alike for tho relief of atrnggling mothers and for the resoue of infants from premature death. The New York Foundling Asylum is nnder the charge of the Sisters of Charity, and Is supported in part by voluntary contributions, and in part by the city, which gives one dol lar a week to the support of eaoh chill re ceived. The city has also given Und a the site for suitable asylum buildings, and it has promised $100,000 to aid in their erection as soon as an equal amount is reoeived from private sources; and of this sum only $7000 is now laoking. If a proper effort were made here, there can be little doubt that similar aid could be obtained either from the city or State authorities, or both; and it is certainly high time that something should he done to check the frequency of infanticide in our midst, to relieve the Almshouse from a large class of oocupants for whose wants it cm never provide properly, and to redeem the city from a standing reproach. RR1T18U Ag'gRA VA I'lON. Tbh cable informs us that Mr. Dilke has given notice in the British House of Com mons of his intention to offer a resolution of regret that the Government had assented to the holding of the Black Sea Conference on the conditions dictated by Prinoe Gortsoha koff. Such a resolution as this may do to inform the world, npon the authority of the House of Commons, that a large portion of the Biitish public would much prefer not to yield to the demands of Russia, but what other good end it will serve it is somewhat difficult to understand. In faot, Mr. Dilke's motion is something like Mr. Disraeli's speech in re Ben. Butler and the Fenian resolution passed by onr House of Representa tives ; it is "mere sound and fury, pigt ifying nothing." The London Conference hhB not yet concluded its labors, but in spite of the British bluster which greeted the notice given by Russia of ber determination to no longer regard the treaty which excludes ber navy from the Black Sea, it is tolerably certain that all the Russian demands will sub stantially be complied with, for the good aud sufficient reason that England cannot help herself. The Tory leaders are endeavoring to make some capital out of this circumstance and also out of the unsettled difficulties be tween England and the United States. Bat it would have been j nst the same if the Tories instead of the liberals had been in power, arid the bluster of Mr. Disraeli, Mr. Dilke, and other dissatisfied Britishers will have about the came effect upon Prince Gortsoha koff as it has upon the irrepressible hero of Big Bethel and Fort Fisher. The fact, is Mr. Disraeli and his friends have great cause to be thankful that they hap. pened to be out of office Just at the present juncture, for they are now able to criticize the liberals for doing a great many humiliating and unpleasant things which they would have been compelled to do themselves if they bad been in power. Mr. Di ke who proposes to offer the above mentioned resoution, is a Liberal, whioh may account for bis only desiring an expres sion of regret. That he shou'd desire even such a mild censure npon the Government only proves how irritated men of all parties are at the peculiarly pacific attitude EngUnd has been compelled to assume of late. Mr. Gladstone can reply to his resolution of regret as he might have replied to Mr. Disraeli's demand that the United States House of Re presentatives should treat England more re. spectfu ly than it is in the habit of doing, by simply at-kiug the question, "What do you pr.opose to do about it ?" and Mr. Dilke, we are afraid, would be unable to give a satisfao tory reply. The fact is, in the Black Sea mat. ter England was obliged to submit to the de mands of Russia any how, and a conference was the best method of doing so with as little humiliation as possible, and the action of the government in acceding gracefully to an ar rangement wbich gave England at least a chance to be beard was undoubtedly politic But a politic policy is not always popu'ar; and we can readily understand and sympa thize with the feelings of the belligerent Britons, who have the disposition but not the ability to resent the snubs their government has received of late from Russia and Prussia, not to mention the plain language of Presi dent Grant's message and the Fenian resolu tion passed by the House of Representatives. The "Age." A change has within a few days past been made in the management of the Age, which we hope will conduce to its future prosperity. The firm of Robb & Welsh has been dissolved by the retirement of Mr. William H. Welsh, to whose ability much of the success of the paper hitherto has been due, and the Age will hereafter be con ducted by Mr. James M. Robb and Colonel Charles J. Biddle, under the style of Robb Jc Biddle. Colonel Biddle has for some time been connected with the Age as an editorial writer, and he has vigorously and ably repre sented the interests of the Democratic party. As one of the publishers of the Age, he may be expected to devote himself with more energy than heretofore to the work be has ia band, and in f utnre contests bis Republican antagonists must be prepared to resist more vigorously than ever, if they do not wish to be annihilated. The Age has been obliged to fight the battles of the Democracy almost single-handed in this city, and we can bear testimony to the fact that it has fought them ably. We wish the Age all material pros perity under its new management, and we hope ultimately to have the pleasure of con verting it from its political heresies to the trne faith. Speaxeb Blaine in his address to the new House of Representatives said that "the most wholesome legislation which the House pro duces and perfects is that whioh results from opposing forces mutually eager and watohful and well-nigh balanced in number." If this is sound doctrine, the interests of the people will be better protected by the new Congress than by those whioh have preceded it, and vigorous opposition to all doubtful or dauge rous measures may be anticipated. OBITUARY. IHhp Jnuira O. Andrew. The Rev. James O. Andrew, th senior bUhnp of the Southern Methodist Episcopal Church, died on Thursday last, at Mobile, AUtmm. He was born in the Tear 1794, in the 8tato ot Georgia, and entered the Conference ot Houth Carolina in 1812.
