A the organization I? practically worth
les it is an expensive luxury. We pay the
Adjutant General's Department annually
$17,874. We paid It $4000, for the Cen
tennial plc-nic We pay nnnually J32,2"S.
for armory rent. Of cour-e all that is a
trUa compared to the amount paid the
officers and men. The late riots have cost
the State, beside, over half a million of dol
lars, exclusive of loss to proj erty from
blundering military operations. Notwith
standing we bad this largn ami expentive
organizatlou,the Slate was obliged to call on
tho authorities at Washingtou for troops. It
must be admitted that our present militia
army is n failure, and should at onco be
placed on a more economical and effective
footing . We aln believe that every State
that calls on the President li r troops, should
pay their expenses if ent. The people
would then bo more interested in protecting
their own property and persons. Thcro is
enough in our present niganizitinn to pick
out say 5,000 good men, who would do all
that is required, and it would bo bettrrto
have them even at tho present cost.
CONTESTED ELECTION CASES.
The trial of a contested election by a par
tisan: tribunal, is conceded to bo the vsricst
iarco imaginable. Political majorities will teat
their own partisans with little or no regard to
law or evidence. Tho "counting in" of Hayes
is n fair illustration of this, whero evcu the
highest judicial tribuual of the land f-e.ited a
President agaiust law and popular choice.
And then came the anomaly of seating Kel
logg of Louisiana, who claimed to be elected
by a Legislature that even Hayes refused to
recognize as legal
But equally gross wrongs have been per
petratod in our own State. The case of
Green vertut Shortz is still fiesh in the mem
ory of our readers. In that case Mr. Green
came, to the Legislature with his ciedentials
signed by every Hcturu Judge in the county,
the most of whom were Republicans'. Hut
because he was a Democrat, the Hepublicau
majority refused him a beat to which hu bad
a prima facie right, aud seated his opponent
at once, before a contest, and when he hud
not a tingle scintilla of right to claim the
seat. The instances might be multiplied.
Tho latu Constitutional Convention i-ougbt
to remedy this monstrous evil, but the bias
of partisanship showed itelf there, and bad
was made wnrso. It piovided in Sic 10 of
Art. II, that '"each House shall judge of the
election and qualifications of its members."
This language is almost identical with that of
the Constitution of 183S. But the new Con
stitution further provides that all contested
elections shall be tried by "courts of law,"
without relating whether or not their decis
ions are tn be final ; and the Act of 1874, de
bigned to carry out that section of the Con
stitution, in effect only constitutes tho judges
a Court of inquiry. The Legislature is
not bound by the decision, and take the
testimony anew, just as if tho question
had not been settled by an impartial tribunal.
In practice, a successful contestant before the
Court, after a tedious aud expensive trial,
finds himself compelled to retry his ca.-o be
fore a partisan committee, and gcnera'ly tho
decision of the court is reversed.
A case in point will illustrate tins'. Mr.
Hazlett was duly elected to the Legislature
from Forest county in 1S7(1. His seat was
contested in tho Courts by Mr. Agnew, his
competitor, but the claim of Mr. Uazlett was
confirmed. Agnew then appealed to a Ho
publicau House, which of cotirso sealed
liim. They claimed i'urty-iko votes for Ag
new in Tioue-ta township, which decidtd the
easo. Hut these foity-livo voters, Republi
can, oomo fetwaid and swear that they vottd
fur Jiazlett ; aud thus we have tho example
of a Legislative Committee, notwithstanding
their tolemu oaths, stuffing a ballot U.c I
Agnew was thus seated by fraud, and the
people robbed of their choice. It is possible
there la no remedy, but a party which sanc
tions such rascality detcrves defeat, and the
man who approves of it should not bo believ
ed under oath.
The Cost or the Lahor Riots, Sena
tor Dunkel Introduced a bill hi the Senate,
providing for the payment of 1615,000 to
the troops called out to suppress the riots
last summer and who havo not been paid,
aid other expenses incldeut to the great out
break. The estimates furnished Senator
Dunkel from the adjutant general's depart'
ment as to the cost of the troops aud oth
er expenses is about us follows ;
Troops, 807,000 00
Transportation, 141,000 00
Quarter master's stores. 03,003 00
Subsistence, U'l.OW 00
Medical stores, 3,400 00
This is somewhat in excess of ihe require
ments of Senator Dunkel' bill.
In (Senator Dunkel' bill provision b made
for the payment of troops for a lull mouth,
where ten days or more have been served

A PRETTY .MUDDLE.
When, In tho name of common sense, are
the pcoplo of till 4 Comntnnwealtlj to know
what tlio order of business will bo In the
Legislature 7 J-.' early three, weeks have
rasied since that bidy convened, and It ha
not yet been able to ascertain what kind of
meeting It Is holding. The members of that
learned assemblage cannot find out whether
they Rro holding an ndjoui licit session or n
regular annual meeting, nnd consequently
tho wholo State Is kept waltlug In ignorance
if the proper manner to proceed In tho pre
sentation of local bill. A large number of
f iicli bills were dropped at the Wt session
because four or live months was not long
enough In which to pass them. Tho ques
tion now Is whether such bills shall be taken
up whero they stuod on the calendar at the
adjournrjut, or If they mutt be reintroduced
as new bills. At tho opening of this session
tleSenato decided to begin anew, the House
voted to tako up tho old calcmhr. This
produced a dead-lock and a committee of
conference was therefore appointed by each
Houo to adjust the matter. This joint com
mittee reported in favor of beginning all
general legislation anew, but to allow local
bills that were advertised at last session to
bo iclntroduced without another advertise
ment. This report was adopted in the Sen
ate, but voted down In tho House. On
Tutsday Mr. Ciehr moved that a new com
mittee be appointed. Jackson, of Mercer,
moved the following amendment : "Resolved",
That all bills and resolutions which remain
ed undetermined in the House nt the cloe
of the session of 1377 shall be resumed and
acted upon by tho House lu the same man
ner as if an adjournment had not taker:
place." The following amendment to this
amendment was olTeicd : ''SttolttJ, that no
business pending at the close of the session
of 1S77 shall be considered at this session
unless introduced dc noxo, except reports of
special committees outstanding." A vote
was taken on this last motion and resulted
In itn adoption, tho House thereby deciding
to commence business anew.. This leaves
the situation about ns it was. three weeks
ago.
The State is paying its Representatives; to
make laws for the benefit of her citizen?,
and it Is about time this nousenso ceases.
What the people want Is some equivalent for
their money. Tho present session might
rather not have been held than that so much
valuable time sbhould be fooled away as it
lias been. But the State has been captured
and ne are in the hands of Pittsburgh and
Philadelphia statesmen.

The State Board of Agriculture will ask
the Legislature this winter to cnlargo its
powers that it may furuisb quarterly reports,
to contain the results obtained at the ex
perimental farm", crop statistics f the sev
eral counties and uf the State, and euch
other Infurnistioii as may be tound impor
tant and useful. An appropriation of $5,
000 Is wauted to accomplish this result.
As we have before stated this Hoard Js an
expensive, humbug, mainly devised to give
sine cure cilices to political dead beats. Last
year It cost us $5,400.18, uud tho people did
uot receive one dollar of benefit. A kindred
fraud is the publication of the Agricultural
Reports, bulky volumes of which are pub
lished annually, and which tho people never
see, for which they should be grateful. They
are filled with reports from County Societies
which the people see iu their local papers,
and similar stale matter. What interest is
it tons that Mrs. Smith of Pik) County got
a premium of 25 cents for a baby dress, or
that Miss Jones got a diploma for a bouquet
or that Adam's mare won a $5.00 premium
at Krief The people want less unnecessary
expenses' because it meant less taxation ; aud
our members should set their laces like flint
against bills that put usdea) burdens on the
people.

The fuit of ejectment recently brought
agani:t the Government by General Uustis
Leo for possession of the Arlington estate in
Virginia attracts particular atteution, as that
spot is uow a national cemetery, where rest
the remalus of nearly sixteen thousand of the
sons of the Nation who fell on cither side du
ring thu war for tho Union. The property
was never eonfi-cated, as has been generally
uppo-s?d, but was sold try the Government
under the direct tax act for $05 of over-due
taxes. General Robert K. Ixo never hail any
interest in the proprrty whatever, and that of
his wife was only a life interest, so that at her
death it reverted to General Custis Lec. Bills
were introduced in Congress while Mrs. Lee
was alive to pay ber for the estate, hut nodef
inite action was ever reached. The estate
covers over a thousand acres ol beauti
ful woodland, and the site is the most impos
ing on the Potomac, overlooking the Capital
aed the surrounding couutry for many miles.
Arlington House, the old mansion, was from
1802 nutil the time of his death the residence
of Goorgo Washington Parke Custi', the
adopted Kin of George Washington, and his
daughter, the wife of Genera Robert K. Lee,
occupied it till 1861, when he left it to cast
his fortune with the arms of tlio Southern
confederacy. It was occupied as hcadquart

officers until 1803, when it passed iuto the

"Holy Father keep through thine own

they may bo one j we aro." John 17 i 11.
These words were spoken by Jesus before he
was betrayed into tho hands of sinners.
"Keep those whom thou hast given me that
they may ho one, It was not designed by
Jesus that his pceple should bo divided
that sectarianism liould rule. That they
may be one as we are," one in purpose.
That thoy should work together in love.
When tho people of God aro united and
work together on one common platform,
tho work of the Iiird must prosper. We
must work if wo would plcaso Him who hath
tilled us. Shall wo work alone, or shall wo
unite in our efforts to do good ? A. II. Karle
a well-known evangelist writes : "A gambler
was brought to Christ through the influence
of union meetings and requested tno to tell of
his conversion wherever I go. 'Toll them I
could withstand tho appeals of each denomi
nation, when they worked separately, but
when they united in a meeting and I saw tho
spirit of love prevailing ttnong them, I felt
its power and gave myself to tho Saviour.'
Mr E. adds s 'A talonted physician who ad
vocated infidel principles for many years,
oamo into one of our meetings and publ cly
made this statement, 'For the last four years
I have been convinced that there was no real
foundation for infidelity, and when I looked
upon tho different sects often speaking un
kindly of each other and refusing to work to
gether for tho salvation of souls, I felt
that there was about as little in the churches
to rest upon. Ru t when I attended this
Union meeting and saw the brotherly
love manifested ; then I felt there was a
reality in religion and I needed it. Nothing
reached me until I felt the power of this Un
ion.' " Such cases are common. "In Union
there is strength." Shall the people of God
be divided and thus hinder the work of the
lxird ? The people of God make up the
Church. They arc in vital connection with
its living Head and its connection is not
through some Ion; line of "succession," but
by its direct acquaintance with Christ, through
his abiding word and his indwelling spirit.
Every trne chnroh whatever may bo its love
liness or its outward state is on alevel of es
sential dignity and authority with every oth
er church on earth. Some of tho Corinthi
ans said : "I am of Paul and I of A polios
and I of Ccnhus, while others said 1 am of
Christ." Shall we be of Paul or of Christ ?
Is Christ divided ? No. Are his people 7
All Christians nre individual members of the
one body of Christ. It is one of the sins of
this age to deny the unity and completeness
of Christ's body and set up tests of this unity
others than those that he has appointed. This
unity embraces tho whole family of God
The fact that wo are united to Christ is proof
that we are united to his people. One has
said, "Men restrict their fellowship, and hence
while Christ's Church is inclusive and far
reaching, their churches aro narrow and shut
out wore Christians than they shut in." True
hearts long for unity. Christ's parting prayer
was that thoy might be one. Deeper
than tho names and creeds of men throbs
that inward lifo which makes Christ's people
one. Wiokcd men and devils would divide
the flock of God. Let us pray that his peo
ple may be one. God says "I will give them
one heart and ono way that they may fear me
forever, for the good of them and of their
children after thm." Jer. 32 ; 39.

Heterodox Kreema-onry.
A few weeks ago it became publicly known
that tho ' Grand Orient of France," repre
senting the Ma-onic order in that country',
was reported as having undo an alteration in
the principles on which the craft, not in
France alone, but through Freemasonry all
over the world, is based. Ab the French
ordo declared, ''Freuuiasonry has for its prin
cipal belief tho existence of a God, the im
mortality of the bouI, aud the solida-tc (joint
responsibility) of man " The Grand Orient
or governing power of French Masonry, has
l itcly stricken out this cxprc-sion of princi
ple in favor of an illimitable "freedom of con
science, seventy live French lodges had
strongly protested against this chang e. The
Irish Grand Lodge hod immediately denoun
ced and repudiated it. The Grand Lodge of
England, less impulsive, has appointed a com
mittee to inquire into and report. We are
not aware that the Masonic Grand Lodges of
the United States, or any of them, have taken
the slightest notion in this matter. Masonry,
which hitherto has been one and the same
throughout the world, including amoni; its
members persons of all religious beliefs and
nationality, bound together in the charmed
circle of charity and good fellowship, has al
ways been a religious, though never a secta
rian institution. Its whole character will be
changed if the French innovation be permit
ted t stand if there the fundamental prin
ciple in the craft of belief in God and tho im
mortality of tho soul be abolished. Wherev
er such an innovation is adopted the whole
Masonic body throughout the world must be
affected Of course, the Masonic craft in the
United States will do what is necessary to
repudiato the change which is attempted to
be made in Masonry in France. It is due to
them'clvtB that the Masons of tho United
States, a numerous and mo-t respectable or
ganization, including many clergymen of dif
ferent denominations, should publicly repu
diate the irreligious novelty recently pro
claimed against belief in the existence of God
and the immortality of tho soul. Drat.
Women Lawyers.
The houc jodioiary committee, strange as it
may appear, were altuoet unanimous in favor
of reporting tho bill giving women lawyers
the ri-lit to practice before tho supreme court
of the United States, after having heard the
argument of Mrs. Relva Loekwood, Wash
ingtou's first woman lawyer. As soon as Mrs.
Loekwood left th- committee room, Ben.
Butlir sugifosted that the committee vote
upon the bill. "If any gentleman has any
thing to advance,' said he, "to show that a
woman has uot as good a right to practice
law, everywhere and anywhere, as a man, I
I would like to hear it." Nothing was said,
and it was decided to report the bill favora
bly as soon as the committee if again called
in the houto. Proctor Knott will, it n said,
make a speech in support of the bill, as will
also Duller aud Frye. Mrs Loekwood has a

question of privilege which he claims. This
was ndopted. Next came one from the
Democratic side asking the Judiciary Com
mittee to Inquire whether the taking of (usur
ious Interest for loan of public money by
any officer of the stale was such a violation
of law as to justify Imp- achment and remov
al from office Then came another Demo
cratic thunderbolt requesting our Senators
and Representatives in Congress to demand
the repeal nf the Resumption act, the re
nionetlzstlnn of all Bank Notes. Then one
from the Republican side for limited remon
Itlzatlnn, resumption and no contraction.
The last three as well as several others that
followed found a resting place In that sick
bed of resolutions, from which fen an-e,
the Committee on Federal Relations.
The vexed question of the order of busi
ness of the House has been settled at lat.
On Tuesday morning the matter came up
again and the advocate's of the old calendar
were confident and disposed to push the
fight.they thnughtjthey scented victory In the
air, but, alas a change came o'er the spirit
of thei' dreams. Influences had been at
work on Monday night and Tuesday morn
ing of which they knew nothing. A Bhort
time before the vote was taken a well known
lobbyist was seen passing from desk to desk
and when the hour of trial came about 30
members from the rural districts, many ol
whom had been strong for the old calendar
Wsk'tied and voted to take up new business
aud the de novo fellows carried their point
by a vote of 04 to 87. So the old calendar
id two hundred and fifty files go to the
dealers in rags and old paper. Though in a
clear majority of nearly 100, the country
members do not seem to be able to cope with
the cute fellows from the cities of the 1st and
2nd classes, by which titles Philadelphia and
Pittsburg are known In legislative parlance.
Tney allow themselves to be threatened and
bull-do7ed, a-nl get weak in the knees and
cave at the critical moment.
On Friday last the resolution of Mr. Long
of Allfgheny lor the appoiutment of a joint
committee to irttMigate the causes and
results of th the railroad riots of last Bum
mer, and report to the beislature, was in
definitely postponed by u vote of SO to 74.
It was supposed that this hud put a quietus
upon the project of the goi-d people of Pitts
burg to make the State pay lor the damages
done in the smoky c-iiy . Though generally
regarded as an entering wedee of the scheme
to saddle the rnt iimui the state, many
members who would hue voted agaiust any
bill making the slate liable were willing to
have the cau-es of the riots investigated.aud
so voted. Notwithstanding all these discour
aging facts the bold Alleghenians have
picked their Mints and are going to try it
again. A motion will be made to re-consid-er
the matter and its friends appear to be
confident of success. What combinations or
influences they ground their faith upon are
not yet apparent. I asked one of the friend'
of the project the other day, "Is the Penna.
R. R. Co. in favor ol your proposed bill."
I don't know" he answered, "but they
nueht to be." "Why" I asked. "Because,"
fa d he, "if the state pays the bill they will
get their money soon and without any trou
ble, but if Allegheny Co.,is left alone to pay
these damages they wont get it for twenty
years."
bill has been introducfd in the Senate
providing lor an amei.dment to theionsll-
ution, by a vote of the people, reducing the
nnmber of Senators and Representatives,
making it the same as under the old const!
tutlon. However advisable this reduction
might be in some respects experience shows
that the place to defeat a bad bill is in the
House. In a multitude of councils there is
safety While the house is too large and
uuwieldly a body for the rapid transaction
of business, it is lor the same reason harder
to control or corrupt by autside influences.
That it is so controlled sometimes is true,
but not so easily as It once was.
Among the bills favorably reported from
committee on Tuesday was one by Mr.Stew-
art providing for the re-enactment of the
local option law, and one to prevent the
evils arising from charging and taking usur
ious interest by Individuals, Banks or other
corporations. It provides as a pena'ty the
forfeiture of three times the interest so
charged or taken.
There was quite a spurt of business after
the order ot the same was definitely settled
and a large number ol bills were Introduced,
A large number were also reported from
committee and will appear upon the first
reading calendar In a few days.

The Ueleaied Fenians.
The recently liberated Fenian prisoners sr
rived in Dublin on Saturday from London and
were made the subjects of a magnificent ova
tion. As the train arrived at the elation of the
Dublin and Kingstown Itailway, in Westland
row, they found all immense crowd, accompa

flags awaiting their rrival. About fifteen
thousand men weie packed Into the open space
in front of the station and thousands of torches
were burning. As the four ex-prisonert.C'ham
bers, McCarthy, O'Brie.i and Dayitt, stepped
out of Ihe train, they were seised bv a number
of stalwart men and carried on ihe shoulders of
the crowd to carriages which were in waiting in
the street outside. The bands struck up "God
Hive Old Ireland," and on the insiant every
head was uncovered, and the immense crowd
sang the national air in chorus. An addrees of
welcome was read to which one of Ihe prison.

light procession was then formed which wheeled
out into Brunswick street nnd proceeded to the
hotel, where rooms had been prepared for them.
As the procession advanced Urge numbers of
men tell into the line along the route, and there
must have been lullv 20,000 men in tho proces
ion, while the streets along the line of march
were literally packed with spectators, who
cheered lustily as the ex prisoners passed. All
Dublin was in the streets, and the demonstration
was considered to have exreidtd in numbers,
