Tin period for electing delegates to nominate Republican candidates for the various local office is rapidly approaching and the necessity of forming good tickets cannot be too Btronjrly impressed upon the body of the Republican voters as well as the wire-pullers. We trust that the interest in these preliminary proceedings will be greater than usual; that public-spirited citizens will make zealous efforts in every ward to secure the election of honest and intelligent delegates, and that an earnest determination will be CTinccd to chooe nominees that will worthily represent a great and noble political organiza tion. Wc are not unmindful of the obsta cles to a genuine and full expression tf the better seutiment of the party at these preliminary gatherings; wc know how apt they are to fall under the control of the worst men it contains, either through fraud, corruption, or neglect, and we fear that they will never properly perform their functions until they are regulated by laws similar to those which govern general elections; but we still hoie that all will be done that is practicable under the present system to exclude weak and wicked men from the posts of honor, and to present to the public a ticket that will not awaken the blush of shame upon the cheeks of honost men. If, how ever, this hope proves fallacious, and if the con ventions, falling under the control of bad men. use their transient power to foist upon the com munity nominees who are notorious only for Intellectual imbecility conjoined with corrupt rapacity, they may as well know in advance that their action will be , indignantly spurned at the polls, and that their labors will result only in the overwhelming defeat of the organization they profess to worship, but which they in reality do more to injure than all its open adversaries in Philadelphia. We are not wantiug in devotion to the principles of the Re publican party. We rejoice In its triumphs and mourn over its defeats. We love to contribute to the success of its standard-bearers in great national contests, and to record its local victo ries In all cases where It deserves success. But if the contest is to bo narrowed down to a mere question whether corrupt partisan haridaus, pro fessing Democracy on the one hand or profess ing Republicanism on the other, are to be sent to llarrisburg to grow rich on ill-gotten gains, and to trifle with the great interests of the State, it will be as well for the present, and far butter for the future, to leave the Democracy bear the whole burden of this shame, and to keep the Republican party clear of the disgrace of putting knaves and fools Into high offices. The lesson has been taught over and over again that there is a limit to the endurance of a large body of the Repub lican voters, and that on some occasions they will not be driven r cajoled into the support of weak or infamous candidates, though their mise rable pretensions be bolstered up by fifty nomi nations; but this feeling is now stronger than ever, and any clique or combination that at tempts to defy it will commit not merely a crimo, but what in partisan morality is even worse, a blunder. We know no section of the Union in which the Republican party has suffered as much from bad nominations a in Philadelphia. Year after year its strength has boon weakened and Its success imperilled by weak or objectionable candidates; aud If something is not done speedily to arrest this downward tendency, it may soon become as hopelessly Democratic as New York. Thou sands of men who prefer the Republican party, and would willingly contribute to its local as well as its national success, are at the same time too conscientious and patriotic to knowingly vote for worthless, weak, or corrupt candidates simply because they are labelled "Regular nomi nees." Rendered indignant by repeated outrages upon their good nature, they are in no mood for tame submission to new indignities. The Re publicans of this city cannot possibly achieve a general triumph without their assistance, and that assistance will Inevitably be withheld from every candidate who cannot be truthfully en dorsed as honest, capable, and reliitble. In view of the results of the last city election, aud the scandalous conduct of many of the Republican members of the Legislature, it is more important now than ever that the true friends of thu Re publican party should endeavor to redeem its sinking fortunes. The path to victory can be opened only by good nominations. If the organi sation falls under the control of men who are wicked and foolish enough to select bad candi dates, these schemers will only disgrace them 8elve and injure the party, without bene fiting their favorites. However noxious good citizens may be for the safety of a ship that goes to sea, while she is under the command of an honest captain and an honest crew, and while she is renderiug good service, If the vessel falls into the hands of pirates who use her only to prey upon peaceful commerce, a universal prayer goes np for nor capture or destruc tion. It is with a feeling akin to this that thou sands of intelligent voters are now regarding the preliminary movements in the Republican party. If tickets are framed which deserve support, an Immense body of voters will sustain them; if the energies of the organization arc perverted to the use of plunderers, it will suffer the penalty of de feat. OUR MODERN PHARISEES. Thkrk are in existence at the present tunc -,.u .Uskah of nrofcsslng Christians men II llllli wvt w . who would have made broad their philacteries had they lived in the days of the Pharisees-who are doing incalculable Injury to the cause of religion by their bigotry and Intolerance. This sort of church member is not at far intervals scattered through the world, nor is he at all a r,!rltv in evcrv denomination and every congre gation, but has become at last so large and intlu- aiitial an element in the faith, that the wnol mass is UWoly to be leavened. Against such w would urge the concentrated denunciation of all Who have true love for the beauties of the religion of God. These zealots we can divide into two great classes, and It Is bard to toll which of the two Is worse. The oue class consists of those who deny to their brother Christians of different denominational faith us free an access Into heaven as themselves; the other Is eoin- :S SWi -oS-toDsc :urU3 jrouliL UijU, Uislf .cloths and sympathies to such only as are professing members of some church. Of the first class we need not look far for daily example. Probably of our readers thore aro many who in their hearts are saying that "my wny to heaven is the only true way, and my deluded neighbor will find it to his sorrow." A sort of melancholy pleasure pervades his thoughts as he pities the zeal of his friend over the way, who is wasting, in mistaken zeal, his time ou a false theory of religion. We know of a distinguished clergyman who 'announced from his pulpit, not only that his path to the skies was the most direct, but that it was the only path which would lead to the haven of rost. That same gentleman, now a bbdiop in hi Church, stated that a reverend doctor of auothcr de nomination was no more a minister than a negro laborer in the street. Yet this gentleman was n man high in his congregation, au exemplary Christian and most eloqiicut orator. If the pre late who thus denied to his brother the right to his robes would be found near that brother in the last great day, he will find that he must ex ercise more of thnt most Christian of virtues the virtue of charity. The scntiineut expressed by Bishop is one entertained by very many Cht istalns, only not so broadly expressed. In deed, the ritualistic branch of the Episcopal Church goes so far as to hold it an utter Impos sibility for any one to reach heaven by any other light than six white candles, held by six surpllced boys. Is this charity ? Is this brotherly tole rance? Is this reason or right ? Wc fall to see thnt it is. By what right can one man judge his fellow, and declare himself right aud his neigh bor wrong? By what authority can we, when following our convictions of duty as our con sciences dictate, be called deluded victims and irreligious fanatics ? We would give liberty to nil. We would deny a safe passage to none. Let each be the sole accountant between himself and his God, and let no other tribunal of human judgment sit on his views. We say that such exhibitions of unchristian bigotry ns that which we have quoted is doing daily injury to the cause of Christ is giving the irreligious, scolling world an opportunity and a right to ay that the practice nnd the profession are at variance. Against all such we urge the attacks of the pulpit and the discountenance of all who would not see the cause of Christianity suffer for the sins of its false followers. , While the case of such as deny salvation to all but their exclusive set is a bad one, and well calculated to do great injury to religion, yet we must give the palm for excessive Inconsistency to those who belong to the second class of our Pharisees. To those who deny their charity and close up their sympathies to all who do not belong ostensibly to some Christian church, we eau best illustrate the kind of Christians we mean by an example of actual occurrence. To our know ledge, a gentleman of this city called on a lead ing churchman for the purpose of soliciting a contribution to aid a poor woman who was posi tively in want of food. She had three small children, was penniless, and the rent being over due, was about to be expelled from her home. Upon stating the facts of the case to a church man, he replied that he only gave to a certain society for the alleviation of the wants of the needy, and that therefore he could not give to this particular case. "But," he added. "I will give you a note to one of the managers " and if the woman can pro duce a certificate of membership of some evangelical church, the society will give the necessary food." "What if she cannot give such a eertiticate?" inquired the gentlemcu. "Would not your society give, when she is positively hungry?" "It is against the rule of the associa tion," was the reply; "a certificate in every case is an absolute necessity." Our friend left that Christian brother, went among those who made no profession of godliness men of the world, who did not think it necessary to bow three times in the Creed told his story, and got as much money as he needed. We were, and still are, loth to believe that there exists in our city an association which will discriminate against anj one who is positively suffering. Yet from evidence so undoubted we have it, that it seems put beyond question that even starvation will not open the hearts of this sect to Christian charity. Has the New Testament become obso lete and its principles been forgotten? Is there not still in force the sublime doctrine that "Pure religion and undeDled before God and the Father; is this, 'To visit the fatherless and widow s in their atlliction?' " Do we find in it a discrimination In favor of the widows who have certificates and the chil dren whose mothers have certificates ? Away with ench charity, such Christian enterprise, as this ! We would rather give to one needy one what she actually wants than to ten cases which are fed through such a society. We are not aware that there is a mandate to give a cup of cold w ater only to the professors of religion, nor are we aware that the curse pronounced against thoi-c who refuse exempts those who deny u non-professor. Our modern Pharisees will find, when they come to claim a reward for their well-ordered charity, that upon them will fall the denunciations of the Lord for their re fusal to aid any who are in need, if the ability be theirs. It is a new doctrine that the Church should extend Its aid only to Its followers. We think that it was to the Magdalen that our Lord gave aid, and that he fed the multitude without discriminating between the Jews and Gentiles. The sort of charity which would dis criminate is hypocrisy and bigotry, and is to-day degenerating the pure religion of the Lord into an exclusive clique of bigots. Unto such Chris tians we recommend the sublime denunciation commencing, "Woe into ye ! scribes and Phari sees, hypocrites !" It is the most appropriate oi any of the Bible references. THE NATIONAL ORPHANS' HOMESTEAD AT GETTYSBURG. Is auothcr column we publish an appeal for aid from the directress of the Gettysburg Home stead for Soldiers' Orphans. It is desired to raise an auxiliary contingent endowment fund for this institution, and it is to be hoped that the loyal people of Philadelphia will respond in such a generous manner that the institution will be placed upon a firm basis, and seeurod against any fear of need in the future. The claims of the Gettysburg Homestead need no urging; the care of its Inmates is a sacred duty imposed upon our citizens, and If all who feel Interested or have uny appreciation of the duty they owe to the memory of tho bravo men who died that the nation ml ht live, will contribute according to their means, no matter how small tho donation may be, the directors will without difficulty be able to carry out all their benevolent iuteutious. There arc very few persons who cannot afford to give at least a dollar, If not more, to such an object as this, and It all who can give will do so, I there will be no difficulty In raising ull the I money needed. I Tho Gettysburg Homestead has now umong Its Inmates soldiers' orphans from eleven different gUll'Stf UK VulW". IU? uriort1c4cUtJrelyiby private contentions, and it has received no asslHtancc whatever either from the National or State Governments,, except the charter granted by thc Legislature of Pennsylvania. A perma nent oudowmcnt fund is therefore needed to place the institution on a sure foundation, and as the money for the purpose can easily bo raised if our citizens will only take some lltllo interest in the matter, we hope that the appeal now made will secure the desired results TUB FINK AKT. TtiA Notional Arndsmr of DfxIkii. The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Art is not the only Institution of tho kind In trouble at present. The National Academy in New York Is also the sub ject of au aRltatiou for reform which promises to produce Rood results in making it g really progres sive school of art, and In smothering the, spirit of old foRylsm that lias hitherto kept It back. The New York I'.vrninti Moil, in discussing the subject, says that the most essential of the proposed reforms are First. That the Academy shall be in furl, as in name, a Kational Academy, slid to this end that any artist In the I'nited States shall be eligible lor elec tion as a ineinlxT. Now residents of the city onlv can become mem bers, and thus many of our best artists are exclude). W. T. Richards, of Philadelphia, for Instance, an artist of distinfruished merit, who has earned his spurs long ago, has not tin; coveted N. A., aud has to submit to have one of his lest pictures hung out of sight at the exhibition, while the other Richards, that Is, T. A., who is but thu Corresponding Secretary, and only slays with his palette for consistency gHk'e, has bis daubs placed upon the line and the N. A. after his name half a dozen, ay, a dozen times in the catalogue. The second reform Is to limit the term of oiftoe for President and Vice-President to two years. That is to say. that they shall be elected for one vear, aud shall 1)0 eligible for re-election once, but ho more. This will prove an excellent reform, we have no doubt, as it will prevent fossilizing and Milord the Academy frequent opportunity to instil new lite Into their two first otllces at least every two years, while at the same time it will prevent the retiring from otllce without any seeming disgra :e attaching to it. Had it not been for tUa sympathy of many acade micians who saw with what feeling the proposal to elect a new President and Vice-President instead of Messrs. Huntington and Uray was received by these gentlemen, there is no doubt whatever thatthe Page Whlttredge ticket would have been elected at the late annual meeting. The third refonn is to reduce the Hanging Com mittee from thirteen to three, anil these three not to be officers of the Academy, and to be changed cverr year. (If we remember right, it is proposed to give the association a voice In the selection of this com mittee.) This great change will tlx the responsibility, and ho place it that those who carry It cannot afford to act selfishly or dishonorably. Three can be tried uud convicted of bad behavior, but thirteen! thir teen is a mob ! The fourth will be an article, probably, calling tor quarterly business meetings, so that every member may take part In the conduct of the affairs of the Academy. Now there Is but one annual meeting, at which the whole time is taken np in voting for officers and members and hearing reports. These, as we have said, are the principal reforms aimed at, all of which will be secured, we do not for a moment doubt, knowing the overwhelming ma jority in their favor. It Is true that the conservatives have done their utmost, and still tight hard against everv etrort to curtail their ancient prerogatives to do nothing and enjoy the honors; but their day is done, and it is time. The reformers aim to make the Academy a live Institution, and a credit, not a dis grace, to the country. The reforms they propose are those in keeping with the spirit of the times; they are not based on selfish or ambitious grounds, but niv earnestly progressive, all of them. BOUTWLLL'S POLICY. His Method or Reducing the National Indebt edness President tirant Seconds Him The M eekly Mule of Jold-Ita llenclicittl JCIIect. The New York Time, Washington correspondent speaks as follows relative to Secretary lioutwell's financial policy: Secretary Boutwell is in receipt of as much disin terested advice and criticism concerning his policy as though the cash in the Treasury were his private fortune, and he had asked for counsel as to the best mode of devoting it to the public good. As in the ease with doctors oi physic, so tnc nnanciai doctors never agree upon any one prominent feature. Take the leading New York papers, for instance; no two of them agree upon any principal point. One finds fault because he sells gold and buys bonds; another because be don't sell more of the one aud buy more of the other: another because he don't re deem the three per cents Instead of the bonds; and another occause it is nounu to nnd iault generally, no matter what Is done. So with the ad vice aud" suggestions of bankers and political econo mists, the prescription of each one will cure, and nothing else will. In view of all this multifarious advice and criticism, it is not wonderful that Mr. Houtwe should tlnd It best to loliow nis own ludir- meut, and leave support to be based upon the re sults of his policy as developed. It may be interest ing to know mat in nis general policy or doing something toward reducing the debt he has a strong supporter in me person oi me resident, (ieueral Grant has been, from the outset, very anxious that a beginning in this direction should be made. He is prepossessed in favor of the slnkiug- und nolicv. but does not especially care bv what agency the policy of reducing the debt is initiated. lie realizes the lact mat. any meuiou Wm ue popular with the neonle and strengthen the credit of the Government, in the end, which exhibits a steady, even though gradual, reduction of the aggregate of the national debt. Such a fact, thoroughly devel oped, will convince the people that the money they pay lor taxes IS Deiug appueu iu ua piuper uses, ami that au administration which reduces and keeps its expenditures below Its receipts Is entitled to respect and confidence. it Is a suggestive fact mat me poney or redeeming the three per cent, certificates, which Is contraction and nothing else, is urged both by the friends and opponents of contraction by people at the East be cause it will compel the hanks to put fifty millions of greenbacks in their reserve funds to supply their places; aud by peopio at uie nmi, who worsmp greenbacks aud cry aloud for more currency, for reasons which it is hard to understand, considering its effect. Just here is the difficulty aud danger of this cla.s 0 obligations. To withdraw them, the Secretary, having no currency, must tirst sell gold to obtain it, thus withdrawing it temporarily from cir culation : for it is in circulation, and In not In the re serve. Then he redeems the certificates with his currency, and it goes where? Not into circulation, but by law it takes the place of the redeemed certiucates. Then comes a re doubled crv from the West and South for more cur rency ; another attack an Congress only defeated last time by sharp management resulting next time, In all probability, in a complete overturning of the banking interests in the North aud East, or national banking on a free basis, with central redemption which, If It could be secured, would be worth the danger of the attempt. This is more fully appreci ated here than in New York, because political com binations in Congress can be formed to accomplish results which may be the very opposite of what may there be deemed sound financial policy. It may be said that this is, in substance, an argu ment demonstrating the necessity of putting out of existence so dangerous an element of circulation. Possibly it Is, and It ought unquestionably to tie done. The spasms of contraction would surely fol low, and the result In the end would be beneficial. But how would the opponents of contraction, now urging the retirement of these certillcates, be pleased wit h such a result? JEALOUSY. A Colored Man Attempts to Kill Ills Jtlvnl. Kays the Wilmington Comviercial of yesterday: At about quarter before 9 o'clock last evening the residents lu Seventh street, between Orange and Tat nail, were startled by two pistol shots tired In rapid succession. Chief of Police Dougherty was passing there at the time, and saw one colored man fire at another; he Immediately sprang to arrest the man who fired the shot, but before he could do so he had fired a second time. Before he conld lire again the chief had wrenched the weapon from him aud taken him Into custody. He proved to be Joseph H. Mor ris, and the man he shot at Henry llinson. Oue of the shots gra.ed Hluson's leg, leaving no mark, and the other took effect In his back Just between the hip and the lower rib. inflicting a painful and probably dangerous wound. Morris was taken to tho CUv Hall, where he still Is held awaiting tho result of Unison's injuries. He expressed his regret that ho was arrested before he "finished" Unison.

Lntton, who plead guilty to the charge of attempting to vio late the person of the llttln girl, Mary 0. Cook, was placed in tho pillory and remained the full hour. He appeared lost to all sense of shame, and evidently she punishment wss having but little effect upon kirn. He amused himself by whistling, laughing, and to those In the crowd congregated around the pil lory, w horn he recognized, he would speak with as much politeness as his position would allow. At the expiration of the hour.when the jailor took him from the pillory, ho rubbed his wrists, gave a laugh, and, springing down the steps, walked back to prison as unconcerned as though nothing had occurred. The whipping was postponed until 4 o'clock, so that If any others were sentenced to be whipped be fore that time the loathsome Job could be performed at once. The crowd expressed themselves disap pointed that the whipping should be put on", a great many having come from different parts of the coun try to witness the sight. But they had come to see the show, and stay they would if it did not come on Ix-rore night. Dining the Interval between 10 and 4 o'clock the Sheriff was frequently urged with oaths to "pile It on," to "give hlin ," aud like charac teristic remarks. Four o'clock arrived, and no others having been sentenred, the prison gates were thrown open, and pell mi ll the anxious waiting crowd rushed Into the yard. In a few minutes Lutton, In company with the Jailor and Sheriff, made bis appearance. HU bands were fastened to the post, back bared, and in quick succession the lash fell thirty times, leav ing two hundred and seventy purple and crimson ridges. Notwithstanding the urgent appeals to the Sheriff to bnitalir.e himself, he remained a man true to the Instincts of humanity, and Lutton may feel thankful that a humane man lika Sheriff Uk-feardson had per formed the work Instead of some of those who wit nessed it. ,gro .In mi ice. This Is the way, as given by the Naxabachic (Texas) A i ouh, that Justice was meted out to an offending negro, and to a "Looker-on In Vienna' who chose to object to the proceeding: "On the following Friday the negroes in the vicinity banded together and arrested the negro of fending, aud proceeded with hlin to Dresden. On arriving at that place they found no county officers, and were at a loss to know what disposition should be made of him. The citizens of the place a1visd them to take him to Waco, and place him in the bands of the military. This was at first assented to, and they proceeded about a mile on the way. They halted to counsel together'coucernlng the propriety of giving their criminal over to the military, It was feared that the military commander would cause the negro to Join the army, and that ho would come back to avenge himself npon those who then held him. They finally concluded to hang him, which was done 'in short order.' A negro in the party raised such strenuous objections to the procedure as to raise tho ire of the mob, and they proceeded to hang film also, as a fitting episode to the affair."
