TDE NEW REPUBLICAN RULES. The convention appointed to consider the proposed new rules of the Eepablhan party of Philadelphia held a session yesterday after noon, at which a portion of the report made by the committee was adopted, with some amendments, after a series of animated de bates. The only promising feature of these proceedings is the development of the fact that some of the members of the convention are disposed to improve the old order of thincs, but it is to be feared that in all vital and materially important changes they will be overruled by the majority. The discus sion of one of these reforms is reported as follows in a morning contemporary: AN IMPORTANT AMENDMENT. "Mr. Littleton moved to amend rule five by In serting after the word convention the following: And ch representative In every convention sliall cast the Republican vot given at the last preceding ?eneral election of the division which he represents, or the candidate first named on the Republican ticket then vsted, and the candidate receiving thu major lty of vottsso cant beiore such convention shall bd the nominee of the party for the oillce In question ' , "n r. Littleton, In a lengthy speech, advocated this Fystem. "Mr. William B. Mann replied, and declared him self utterly opposed to the measure. He stated that a few ward would then control the entire party, and a delegate representing a division of four hundred Republican voters could counterbalance ten dele gates of divisions containing but forty Republican voteseach. He also thought that the couuting up of these votes would occasion confusion and pro long tne sessions or conventions. "Oilier gentlemen replied, and a very general and somewhat noisy debate ensued. Finally a voto wax tak-n, and tne amendment was rejected by a vow cf 13 yeas to 40 naj a, barely a quorum of delegates being present." The amendment advocated by Mr. Little ton crntains the germ of the first step towards a true reform in the organization of Republican conventions, and its defeat affords lamentable evidence of the determi nation of the controlling spirits of the pre sent convention to make the Kpublican masses of this city hewers of wood and draw ers of water for grasping wire-pullers, Wherever a reform like that proposed by Mr, Littleton bas received the consi ieration which it justly deserves from honestly-dis posed conventions called to rearrange party rulep, it has been adopted. Mr. Mann's argu ment, on its face, condemns his side of the question. He alleges that, under the proposed amendment, "a delegate representing a division of four hundred Republican voters could counter balance ten delegates of divisions containing but forty Republican votes each." Mr. Mann was exactly right in this statement, but ex actly wrong in the inference he drew from it. In party councils one Republican voter ought to bavo as much influence as another, and under the system favored by Mr. Littleton there won'd be, in one respect at least, an approximation to this just result. Rut the logical conclusion of Mr. Mann's argument is that one Republican totir living in a strongly Democratic division ovght to have ten times as much power in a Republican convention as a Republican itho lives in a strong Republican division or ward, and, wonderful to relate, this monstrous doctrine was ratified by a vote of 40 to 13! "The effect of its rati fication is obvious. It tends to pack Republican conventions with delegates who represent rotten boroughs, and who, having but small Republican constituencies, consequently dare to sell or lend themselves to the wire-pullers, and to perpetrate outrages on Republican sentiment which few repre sentatives of large Republican divisions would dare to perpetrate. If the convention per sists in maintaining a large number of rot ten boroughs, the wire-pullers will, by their existence alone, be enabled year after year to moke odious and unpopular nomina tions, and to override the sentiments of a majority of those who attend the delegate elections. If we cannot have a direct popu lar vote for candidates for office the next best thing is that proposed by Mr. Littleton, of giving a just representation to the Republi can strength of the respective divisions and wards; and the worst thing, so far as regard this portion of the rules, is to continue to make one Republican in some sections of the city as powerful as ten Republicans are in other sections of the city. The new rules, to serve a good purpose, and to save the Republican party from a suooes- Bion of future defeats, should be based on just principles, and so arranged as to at once inBure a large attendance at delegate elec tions and provide safeguards for their honest management, as well as for fair dealing in the conventions. The whole spirit of the new rules proposed Is of a' directly opposite char acter. Little by little they provide fr weaving network around the people, until they are oaught in meshes from whioh there is no escape except by staying away from the polls, cutting the Republican ticket, or by voting in part or whole the Democratic ticket. What a convention appointed to frame new rules ought to do is to seek to strengthen the party with the masses, to purify its councils, to devise pre ventives against fraud,' to equalize represen tation, and to lay the foundation of good nominations by inviting the co-operation of all good Republicans in the work of seloctin candidates. The ruling spirits of the prevent convention are doing jut the opposite; they art weakt'ing Vit party wi'h the masses, they are throwing power into the hands A . f t I m .. . or me projissiona'. pout cians, they are perpetuating inequality of representation, they are aymg the foundation of bad twmina turns, and they are repelling disgusted Re publicans from delegate elections and eon volitions. If they finish their Ubon in the manner in which they hav commenced them, they will entail disgrace after rlisgr.o upon the Republican party of this city in years when, and localities where, it is suooeasful; and they w 11 alienate from it thousand of good oiti- zens. THE PARSON AO R RILL IN THE LEGISLATURE. The members of the State House of Repre sentatives yesterday indulged in a general interchange of views on religious matter, the occasion being the introduction of a bill to exempt parsonages from taxation. It is to be hoped that the debate was a souroe of spiritual profit to the gentlemen who par ticipated in or listened to it, for it is certain the members of the Legislature will not be less likely to do their duty to their constituents if they are called upon from time to time to seriously bear in mind that religious matters merit their atten tion both as individuals and as legislators. The debate yesterday indicated very clearly that the religious ideas of soma of our law makers are decidedly hazy, and if we thought that the exemption of parsonages from taxation would have any beneficial e fleet upon the morals of the individuals who are presumed to represent us at Harrisburg, we might be disposed to advocate it as a mea sure of reform that would be worth vastly more than it would cost. As it is, we are totally nnable to see tbo propriety of the proposed exemption: and the members of the House who advocated it yesterday appeared to have the religions vote if we may be allowed the expression in their mind's eye, rather than any particular spiritual good that might accrue to themselves or the public at large. The bill, as originally introduced, applied only to the par sonages in Cumberland county, and it was evi dently intended as an advertisement for Mr. John D. Leibig, the member from Cumber land. Other pious legislators, however, were anxious to make a bid for the religious vote, and Mr. McOowan moved to include Phila delphia county, and Mr. Miller and Mr. "Win. F. Smith the entire State. If parson ages are exempt frqm taxation other property will ere long be presenting nearly if not quite as strong a claim to ba exoased from bearing its proper share in supporting the Government, nnd thus all the taxes will be thrown upon the shoulders of a comparatively limited number of persons, whereas all who receive the protection of the laws, whether private individuiis or religious or other cor porations, should be obliged to contribute towards the cost of benefits that all enjoy. We do sot pretend to deny the gre it benefit that society derives from churches, consider ing them merely as moral agen'f, and as valuable aids in securing a respect for the aws and in promoting public or ler. But it is opposed to the spirit and the letter of the National and State Constitutions that reli gious corporations should reo va t-upport from the State treasury; for, practioilly, to exempt them from taxation is the same thing as paying them so much money out of the treasury. The laws of the nation and of the Stite guarantee protection to all descriptions of religious belief, and this is all that they with propriety can do. It is the duty of the rivate citizens who are interested in certain churches to support them out of their own pockets, and the churches, neither individually nor col lectively, have any right to demand pecuni ary assistance from the public treasury. Mr. Marshall yesterday took the proper view of tne case wnen ne protested against this whole system of exemption as being in violation of the ertio'e in the State Constitution which says that "no man can of right be compelled to attend, erect, or support any place of worship, or to maintain any ministry against his consent. There are thousands of tax-payers in this State who profess no religious belief, and while we freely admit that it would be mach better for themselves individually and for sooiety in general if they were good Christians, it can not be denied that by the exemption from taxation of property belonging to certain re ligious corporations theyafe foroed, in viola tion of the Constitution, to support p'aoes of worship which would not be able to get a dollar from them in any other manner, and to maintain ministers who teach doctrines in which they do not believe. In this city there are several million dol lars worth of church property exempted from taxation, which, if it were obliged to contribute a proper proportion tt the publio expenses, would enable the whole tax rate to be reduced, and thus relieve the publio at large of a portion of its burden. Independ ently of all this, the exemption of church property has been and ia made the exouse for extending 4he exemptions almost indefinitely. The cemeteries, which are mere land specula tions, are exempt without a shadowjof justioe, chiefly through the advocacy of Senator George ConneU, who is well known to be the chief owner of Mount Moriah, and who accordingly is benefited annually to the extent of several thousand dollars. Now it is proposed to exempt parsonages from taxa uon, ana men sometning eise win oe pro posed as having an equal claim, and so the thing will go on until a large proportion of valuable property will pay nothing into the Diaie ireasury, wnue the taxes will be pro portionally increased in other directions. The whole system of exemption is 'wrong. and we sincerely hope that Mr. Marshall and such other members of the Legislature who have any regard for the publio interests will earnestly oppose this Parsonage bill and al similar measures lor increasing the burdens of taxation for the people at large. a uood appointment. we are glad to learn by a despatch from Harrisburg that Governor Geary has appointed J. G. L. Brown as Coroner of Philadelphia, to fill the vacancy occasioned by the death of the late Coroner, Mr. Taylor. Mr. Rrown has been a resident of this city for some years, and is beet known to the bulk of our citizens as the bukinesa manager of Forney's Press, in which capacity be has displayed unwearied devotion to 1 Is arduous dnti-p, an 1 good busi ness tact and talent, combined with sterling integrity. Fr the lat twelve or thirteen years lelaa been a con istenk, emIoub, ac tive, and influential member of the Republican party. In social Hfrt he bas 8tib'ishel and main tained an irreproachable charao'er. Scrupu lously faithful in the discharge of all the duties be assumes, we do not doubt that he will make nn excellent offior; anl as the Coroi er is necessarily thrown, in many oases, into close connection with the reporters, there was special propriety in the selection of ore who has been long an 1 honorably identified with the newspaper profession to fill the vacancy created by Mr. Taylor's death.
