Tna new Btate Leglalature convenes to-morrow at llarrl.barg. The organization will, a3 ft matter of course, cou.ume considerable time, an the Senatorial question ia mixed up with the Speakership of the lower home. Some of the WeBtern members will endeavor to strengthen the olaioia of ft Western ma a upon the seat to be vaoatel by Mr. Uaokalew, by jlaolng ft Philadelphiau in the Speaker's chair, and then preying the insignificant argument that one section of the State shoal i cot be permitted to monopolize all the honors. When this question of organization is ouoe Settled, but little will be done in tbe way of praoticftl legislation until the Senatorial pro blem ia finally solved, although a ooaple of Weeks must elapse, nnder the law of Coa grues at present in force, before this biidlneiS can be disposed of. As we have repeatedly declared, we hare no Individual preferences in the matter. The new Legislature was selected by the people for the express purpose of choosing a Senator, and if its member are not able to flud a suitable mau for the position without outuide pressure, they may as well dispeise at once. Mr. Baokalew is a Demoorat, and, as a matter of course, will not retain his teat, although the DamocraUo members may endorse his oonrse in the Senate by giving him the poor compliment of their votes. This muoh he certainly desvrves, for, atthongh his Senatorial record has not been a particularly brilliant one, he has at least con ducted himself with becoming dignity and courted, and by his advocacy ot politioal re form has deserved the commendation of all good oitizens who desire to see the glaring abuses of the present system done away with. It will be some days before the Republican eanous fixes upon tbe fortuuate man who is to euoceei Mr. Baokalew. Iu doing so they should be guided by one principle alone ths selection of the best intu in the Sta.e for the position. The interests of Pennsylvania in the Senate are too momentous to be entrusted to feeble, incompetent, or corrupt hands. A man sans j.evr et sans reproche without fear of po litioal demagogues and without the possible taint of corruption the man demanded by the interests of the Commonwealth and thi responsibility of the position. Above all, we trust that tbe members of tbe Legislature will ignore tbe argument of locality entirely, aad if the best man for the place is foil mi iu Mid dletown, let Senator Cameron's colleague be his next-door neighbor. Tlio City Oituclls. This morning the first meeting of the two branob.es of the new City Couuoils was held for purposes of organization. As was ex pected, the old offloers were all reelected, anl the business of our City Legislature will go ou about the same as if no interruption had oo ourred. The position of a Councilman is by no means a sinecure. There are nearly a soore of States in the Union whose population does not equal that of the city of Philadelphia, and whose necessary legislation does not ap proach that of our city in qnntiir or import ance. Our new Mayor has freely extended his hand to the members of Coanoils, and laid down a policy in his inaugural adires8 whioh cannot fail to benefit the city if it be rigidly adhered to by him and not wantonly obstructed or embarrassed by the action of Counolls. The Republican members of thse bodies should meet Mayor Fox half way, aud enter into a laudable rivalry with him to give the oity a wholesome, impartial, aud non partisan administration. Ii this bs done, oar oity will-be benefited in a thousand different ways, not least among which will be a marked deorease In the burdens of taxation. Infanticide. Tub statement made by the Coroner in his annual report with regard to the in crease of the crime of infantiolde, is oalcula'ei to cause serioas apprehen sion, and to excite discussions as to whether something cannot be done to oheok this fearful evil. During the year 18o"3 the number of cases of infanticide was 94, against 66 in the year 1867. Thu Coroner remarks .hat "this shows a fear'ul increase in the orime ot child-murder, which is sufficient to excite considerable alarm in the oommnnity. It is almost impossible to prevent suoh crimes by any lw which could be passed, but some legislative action might tend to considerably lessen tin number of 'lnnooents' who are slaughtered by unnatural motLers." The oase of Hester Vaugban is the only one among the entire number that are lnoluded in the Coroner's report that has excited any great degree of pullio interest. While many persons thought tbat this woman ought not to be allowed to &.o unpunished, tbe general voice of public opinion was against the extreme penalty of tbe Uw being euforosd against her; aud (rom iti statements made by the Governor to persons who interested them selves in her behalf, it is probable that he tever Intended to permit the seutence of the court to be executed. - Tie oinnmstauceB whioh usually induce tbe comniiision of the ciime of infuntloi le are such that it is impossible not to feel much Sympathy for the criminal; bat iuview of such an exhibit as that made by the Coroner, It is worth while to oounider whether suoh sympathies are not misdirected. It is impossible for any legislative aotion to oheok the orime of child-murder so long as publio opinion Is on the side of the murderer, and we cannot but think, with Jadge Ludlow, that an example is needed, and that a criminal of this kind, tried, sentenced, Itud the sen tence unrelentingly carried out in spite of the appeals of the sympathizing, would have a most salutary effeot in preventing others from committing tbe same offense. - - . We have very little hope, however, that th" extreme penalty of the law, as it stands, will ever be enforced; and perhaps if the death penalty were done away with in cases of this kind, and it was nndei stood that any punish ment less than death would be enforoed ac cording to the strict letter of the law, aud that no appeals for meroy would be listened to for a moment by the executive, but that retribu tion swift and sure would follow the offdnsei we would be able to make some impression on the minds of those who are disposed to tread in the footsteps of Hester Yaughan. The subject, we admit, is full of difficulties! whichever way we look at it. The ordinary cases of infanticide make a different impres sion on the minds of the oommnnity from the murder of adults; but in view of the enormous increase of the crime during the past year, it is evident that some practical measures should be adopted to check it if possible. Specie Payments. Ukpbr the old banking system of this country tbe periodical suspensions of specie payments were usually, if not invariably, caused by suoh a derangement of the balance of trade as de pleted the American stock of the preoious metals. Excessive importations of foreign manufactures were continued under low tariffs until the industrial interests of the nation be came depressed, and large debts were due abroad. The country merohants bought on credit from the jobbers, the jobbers purchased on credit from the Importers and manufactu rers, the importers negotiated as bast they could American notes to meet their foreign obligations; and when the European demand for gold became urgent, after our markets were glutted with goods, a shock was given to the complicated oredit system then prevail ing, which soon led to a suspension of speole payments. As the bulk of the assets of the banks consisted of commercial paper, they were compelled to refuse to redeem their notes and checks in gold a3 soon as mer chants failed to meet maturing obligations. The disastrous effect of excessive importa tions was, of course, greatly heightened by deficient exports. If the cotton or grain crop failed, or if the prices of the American staples in European markets were reduced below the average standard, our foreign creditors be came distrustful of their debtors in this r ountry, and in their eagernesB to secure im mediate payment they deranged our whole financial system. It was common to trace back the old suspensions to the failure of soma particular bank or trust company, and to as cribe numerous subsequent failures to the unlucky or unfavorable circumstances whloh precipitated the first downfall; but those who carefully noted all the influences prevailing on such occasions, did not fail to observe that the banks fell "like bricks in a row" only when the general prospeiity of the country had been undermined by a prostration of its diversified industry, and by an Unhealthy dis proportion between its imports and exports. The success of the manifold plans for re sumption of specie payments whioh are now agitated hinges upon the single point whether tbe export of specie can be arrested. If the present stock of available preoious metals in this country oould be increased by an addition of the produots of the rich new mining territories for a few years, the supply of gold would be amply sufficient to justiiy and main tain resumption. The body of the American people have full faith in the disposition and willingness of the Government to honestly meet all its obligations, and but a small amonnt of gold would be sufficient to supply tbe demand of our oitizens for speole in ex change for promises to pay whioh were oom monly held to be as good as speoie, and more portable and convenient. Foreign creditors, however, are beyond the reach of the legal tender act, and they will never be content to receive 'greenbacks as a substitute for gold. If we continue to contract debts abroad at the rate of one hundred million dollars or more per annum, we must either pursue the suioi dal policy of increasing the permanent foreign indebtedness represented by stocks and bonds, or make large exports of the preoious metals, and thns postpone the period of resumption. The difficulty can scaroeiy be overoome by any single remedy. It will require the com bination of a variety of favorable influences Congress coop erating with the people, legisla tion doing something, and economy, industry, and favorable seasons still more. If the people cease to waste their substance for foreign luxu ries; if American goods and wares are generally substituted for foreign fabrics; if the exports of petroleum, corn, cotton, flour, wheat, pro visions, and other perishable articles are largely increased, and if the balance of trade is turned in our favor, almost any plan of resumption may be safely adopted, and re sumption will then indeed become the true way to resume.

"Mr. Greeley has published some un palatable things about me, but I have no doabl be thought at tbe time they were true.

Of Mr. Henry Wa'd Beecher the Gneral says: "I guess Ueecber dun't want any office: but he would be a bettor preacher if be were loss a politician, and a better politician 11 be were less a preacher. It Is impossible for a man to bave a philanthropy that will cov-r a whole nation and vet tot Plymouth Church, lii-ecbpr favored the Cleveland Convention until be found Plymouth Church repudiating tbe platform. He was heart and soul for Chase until Plymouth Church ratitlcd the Chicago nominations. I often wonder that Beecher is content to remain in a suburb of New York wbobo prosperity ia due to tae ad vantages of economy. Plymouth Church coull not fill Utechei's place; Bepcber could baild up a laigcr and better cburcn in any city. I should liko to see his intellect and his heart have full pla: he would soon make a history equal to Wilberforce. He should be persuaded to leave Brooklyn and po to New Yors."
