It is praclic.i'.y seffled iht tbe pies: deiu will nor vis.t the wtsf a! all during the present year. On the 17th of August a convention of the L'niLeu Labor l'arty, of New York, or in other words the Henry Cieurire l'arty, will inett at Syracuse in tha'. State. Tim convention will have as one of its delen ites from the city of New Voik, K?v. EJwa'J McGlyuo, who was elected to tbe position one day last week at a meeting of the First As sembly district. In Philadelphia on Satur-tay last As sistant District Attorney Kiusey pre pared and laid betore tbe Grand Jury an iudictmetit in tbe folio ins words : That Louisa F.hrline, on the 1'lst day of June, lsso, and on each and every day thence continually uutil tbe day of of thehnJlng of tbis indictment was and is a c muioti eavesdioi pr, and then ami tbeie continually utul on each day and all of s.uJ days and times did listen about tbe bouses aud under the windows and eaves of the houses of tbe citizens then and there d svHIinjr. beann tattle ar.il repeating tbe eauin in tbe bearing of other persons to tbe counnou nui sance of tbe citizens of this t'ommon wealtli, arid against tbt i;ict and digni ty of the l'omm'nei.l'.b of Pennsyl vania.

Tbe Graud Jury found a tiut) bill agair.si' Louisa. Tumi v-Korn out of tbe forty-three comities in Ohio which have chosen delegates to tbe state convention, h.ive instructed them to support Judge TLur ma;i for Governor. The unswerving devotion of t be Democracy o? Ohio to tb political fortunes of Alien G Thur tuan, reminds one of tbe same feeiing of confidence anl admiration that tbe galldiit Whigs of Kentucky throughout his public career entertained for Henry Clay. Judge Thurman s.ijs that he does not want mid would not accept tbe nomination. The Democrats however, aru determined upon tendering him the honor, believing that tbe "old man"1 nnder all 'h eireuinstauces will not le ciin If Iih aece;ts th nomination there is r.ot much doubt of his election over For iker, tbe presDt Governor, who will be renominated. TiiK otlici.il notice of Dr. Edward MiGlvrn's excommunication by Arch bishop Corrtgan. of New York, is pub lished elsewhere in our paper. As Dr. McGiyiu by his actions and utterances for several months past boldly and per sistently invited this final result, he was no doubt prepared for it and was not at all surprised when the decree was made public ou Saturday last. Dr. McGlynn is a ripe scholar and possesses au exceptionally bright intellect, but ihe vicious political theories of Henry George which be ba3 espoused with such 'ntemprrate zeal, have g lined com plete mastery over him and he will here after oaly be known and heard of as the ablest follower of George a'-d his eco nomic heresies. He has simply relin quished his place in tbe pulpit, of which he was a shining and conspicuous orna ment, tor tbat of a political Bgitator, a blower and striker for his guide, counsellor and friend, Ileury George, whose peculiar views on the land ques tion aro not likely, during the present century at least, to make much head way among the intelligent poition of the working people of the United State?. As Dr. McGIvtm h.s m.ide bis own bed, so he must lie down in it. The Commission appointedto revise the teveruelaws of tbe State he'd its meeting at Philadelphia on yesterday first week, and organized preparatory to en teric? on tbe important business before it. The personal of the Ccmmission is as follows: State Treasurer euay. Au ditor Geuetal Norris, Senators Grady Cooper, Newniyer, Reefer, Wolverton and Mo Ateer, Speaker Rover and Repre sentatives Jamus L. Graham, of Alle gheny ; Henry M. Foote, of Tioa ; J. R Finley. of Washington ; William R. Leeds, Horatio P. Connell and John E. Faunce, of Philadelphia, ktd Samuel M. Wherry, of Cumberland ; also the three appointed fcy the Governor Ex Auditor General Niles. Ex-Attorney General Palmer and l brlstian Ileydrick, of Venango county. Ex Auditor Gen eral Niles was unanimously elected chairman of the Coninvssion and a Secretary and Ser-eant-at-arms cho sen. Several committees were then ap pointed cn tbe d'flerent subjects to be acted on by the Commission. Tbe com mission acted wisely in se'ecting Ex Auditor Gereial Niles as its President. He is a practical, s'rrrg common sense man and h;id a great deal to do with the preparation of tbe revenue bill which was passed by tbe last Legislature, but which was lort by George Handy Smith, Pret-iJent of the Senate, some how or oilier forgetting to sign it and theroby compelling the Goveror to with hold fr m it bis approval. Tbe r?xt, and all subsequent meetings of the com mission, will be held at Atlantic "ity. the well-known sea sHe resort on ibe South-eastern const of New Jersey, distant from Philadelphia by rail about sixty-five milt s, commercing ou Tues day neit. Atlantic City teintr on the sa const is a much cooler place in sum mer than Harristuig, but for various reasons the sessions of the commission. In our judgment, shou'd have been he'd at the latter place. The wnk of tbe commission when oomp'eted w ill be laid before the Governor, who will then de termine the question of railing an extia session of tbe Legislature to give it Igeal force and effect. On Jace 3 las:, says tLe i'tiilade'rh lltcord, Attorney General Kirk pat ricki seut to the Secretary of Internal Affairs au otuniou in tLe effect tbat as the lax . on waicLes, houLo'.d furniture and . pleasure carriages bad betu aboliabed by tbt act approved Miy 13, and with it all Ifgil remedies for its collection. ibercfore uo returns of ouch property as j ueied by a nuaitx-r of ber representa taxable should Le required from County ' tive men, to visit that city durine the c , . ,... ! national encampment of the Grand Junei'7, tbe 15 ar J of Revenue Corn niisiiouers sent ou: a circular addressed to County (.'jmmusioncrs instructing them t ) iaciude this class of personal property lu their returns for tbe current y-ar, "as It is tbe intention of tbe Hoard of Uivtnue Commissioners to insist upen tha collection of said tax for the present jear." As the fictitious Ko-Koof light opera is made to say: "Here's a state of things!' Tbe Revenue Commission ers insist that this repealed tax shall be collected, even though the official ex pounder of laws fi the Commonwealth has said that the tax has been "abo'isb ed, and with it all remedies for its col lection, whether assessed prior to the renp.il or not." It tnv rw trn a hi b,en urged, tbat the Legislature did not ! intena to interfere with the taxes which . had already been assessed and were being collected prior to tbe time when tbe act of May 1'5 became a law of the Commonwealth, But do such intention is discernible in tha phraseology of the act itse.f, which is as concise and direct as language can make it. There is no verbiage in the tifty-four words that constitute the law, oo sentence suscep- j t-U'c ul double Ct f !-t!l:CtiOD. It is s;eciuY-a!ly stated tbat all taxes upon j watcbts, household furuiture and j pleauie carriages "aie hereby abolish ed, aud the laws under which said taxes are levied and collected, so far as they relate to the property herein mentioned, are hereby repealed." Why the Revenue Commissioners should have tk-n occasion to ruu counter to tbe Attorney General's opinion is at present a sort ol Slate secret wbicn no tellow can Ond out. Tbe position taken by the Commissioners is absured. In ordering the levy of this tax they have led the horse to water. wlich is easy enouch, but the work of collecting the amounts levied will be like an attempt to make tbe horse drink which is altogether uiioth.-r afTtir. Grand Master Workman Po;v dekly published a letter last week in a scranton paper, where he lives, on the subject of immigration, in which he says : Tbe influx of foreigners at the rate of from luuu to 10.1WU a day is detrimental to the immigrant and the country to which he comes. I say, and now re peat, that until it can e shown that tbe perion landing on our shores can be seif- sustaining for one year he should not be I allowed to land. The man who is not self-susiainicg is a pauper, and this ; country has t-o use for him. If he j throws a resident of this country out t of employment by taking bis situation from him and works for less wages be I makes a pauper or a dependent of the I American. Every man, to be in accord with the genius of out institutions, ' should be independent. The conditions which surrounded the immigration of i lifty, twenty-five or even ten years ago j were far different from those surrouud- ing the poor felliws who land to-day, : and among the men who cry out against I imminration o-day are thousands who landed no lontrer ago than fen year?. Improved machinery and new inventions i have within fbe last twenty-live years j made if possible for one man to do the j work of three. In eveiy case where the machine had made it possible for a j man to d ) in a dav what if required three ; men to do before two out of every three, t must look elsewhere for a man's chance of earning a livelihood. Twenty-five years have witnessed the absorption of our public lands by syndicates. Native and alien bonanza farming on the one hand, and land speculation on the other, have made it impossible for the two men who have been displaced y the machine to go upon the land and earn a living. They must reruaiu In the town or city.

All this tends to show that somefh:rg must be done to equalize our population.

He will visit the home of the Canerons in Scotland of whom he is a lineal descendant. Before he left Harrisburg he took oc- i casion to deny the report which was widely circulated last week, through tbe newspapers of this State tbat his sou Don had entered into an arrangement with "Ross" Magee, of Pittsburg, to oppose and defeat Quay's set up ticket at the I Harrisburg State Convention.

"The simple, undisguised, and dis graceful fact is," says the Philadelphia Ttlrgrui-h (R?p) in summing up the St. Louis incidenr, that throughout the w hole business the Grand Army of the Republic, despite its most stringent rules to the contrary, has been made the tool of contemptible partisan trickerv. It j has received a staggering blow, as will soon be manifest, and the sober, patriot ic sense of the American people. North. n. uth. East and West, will sustain President Cleveland and indorse every word of his maniy letter to the major of St. L-niis. The notorious Jake Sharp, who it a second edition of R.ll Tweed, and who wp.s convicted over two weeks ago of having bribed several members of the Nw York Roard of Aldermen in lsl, was to have been sentenced on Wednes day last, but tbe illness of Judge IUr re;t prevented him from going to tbe curt house to perform that duly.

David II. Francis. Mjyor and Chairman. My Dear Mr : Waen I received the exirrmely cordial and gratifying invita tion from the citiz-us of S-. Louis, ten- Army of tbe Republic, I had been con- i templat ing for Some time tbe acceptance i of tbe invitation from that organization to the same t fleet, and bad considered tbe pleasure which it would afford me if it should be possibl-j to meet not on'y members of th Grand Army, but. tbe people of St. Louis ard other cities in the West, which the occasion would give me an oproitunity to vi"it. The exactions of my public duties I felt to be so uncertain, however, tbat when first confronted ly the delegation of which you were the head. I expected to do no more at tbat time than to promise the consideration of the double invita tion ttndered me, and express tbe pleas ure it would give me, to accept the s ime thereafter if ossib!e. 15-jt the cordiality and sincerity of your presentation reiLforced by the heartiness of the people w bo surrouLded ',ai!n?e T. AhaALC ! resist, tue leeiiug uiiu 'iiiuiiucu uio to assure you on the spot that I would be with yon and the Grand Army of tbe Republic at the time designated if noth ing happened in the meantime to abso lutely prevent iay leaving Washington. Immediately upon the public an nouncement of tbis conclusion expres sions emanating from certain important members of the Grand Army of the Re public, and increasing in volume and virulence, constrained me to review my acceptance of these invitations. The expressions refened to go the extent of declaring that I would bean unwelcome guest at tbe time and place of tbe na tional encampment. This statement is based, as well as 1 can Judge, upon cer tain official acts of mine involving im portant public Interests, done under tbe restraints and obligations of my oath of office, which do not appear to accord with the wishes of some members of the Grand Army of the Republic. 1 refuse to believe tbat tbis organisa tion, founded upon patriotic ideas, com posed very largely of men entitled to lasting honor and consideration, and whose crowning glory it should be that they are American citizens as well as veteran soldiers, deems it a part of its mission to comoass any object or pur pose by attempting to intimidate the Executive or coerce those, charged with making and executing the laws. And yet the expressions to which I have re ferred indicate such a prevalence of unfriendly feeling and such a menace to an occasion which should be harmoni ous, peaceful and cordial that they can not be ignored. I be g you to uuderatand tbat I am not conscious of any act of mine which should make m fear to meet the Grand Army of tbe Republic or any other as semblage of my fellow-citizens. The account of mv official stewardship is al ways ready for presentation to mv countrymen. I should not be frank if I failed to confess while disclaiming all resentment, that I have been hurt by the unworthy and wanton attacks upon mo growing out of this matter, and the reckless manner in which my actions atd motives have been misrepresected both publicly and privately, for which, however, the Grand Army of the Re public, as a body, is by no means respon sible. The threat of personal violence and harm in case I undertake the trip in qu'-iition, which scores of misguided, unbalanced men under tbe stimulation of excited feeling have made, aie not ev?n considered. Rather than abandon my visit to the. West anl disappoint your citizers. I might, if I alone were concerned, submit to the insult, to which it is quite openly asserted I would be hel: Tess'y subjected if present at the encampment; but I should lear with me there the peopl's higest office, the dignity of which I must protect, and I be'ieve that neither the Grand Army of the Republic as an organization r.or any thing like a majority of its members ! would ever encouraae any scandalous j attack upon it. If. however among the ! membership of this body there are sojie, J as certainly seems to be the case, deter j mined lo denounce me and my official acts at the national encampment, I be ! lieve thy should be permitted to do so unrestrained by my presence as a guest of their organization or as a guest of ir.g is h tne nospitaoie cuj in wnicn their meet- eld. A number of Grand Army I Posts havo signified their intention, I am informed, to remain away from tbe , encampment in case I visit the city at that time. Without considering" the I merit of snch an excuse I feel that I ought not to be the cause of such non- attendance. The time and place of the encampment were fixed long before my invitations were received. Those desir ous to participate in its proceedings should be first regarded, and nothing should be permitted to interfere with their intentions. Another consideration of more im portance than all others remains to be noticed. The fact was referred to by you when you verbally presented the in vitation of tbe citizens of St. Louis, tbat the coming encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic would be the first held in a Southern State. I suppose Ibis fact was mentioned as a pleasing incident of the fraternal feel ing fast gainirg ground throughout the entire land and hailed by every patriotic citizen as an earnest that tbe Union has really, and in fact, been saved in senti ment and spirit, with all the benefits it vouchsafen to a united people. I cannot rid myself of the belief that the least discord on this propitious occa sion might retard the progress of the sentiment of common brotherhood which the Grand Army of the Republic has so good an opportunity to lecrease and foster. I certainly ought not to be the cause of snch discord in any event or upon any pretext. It seems to me that you and the citizens of St. Louis are entitled to the unreserved statement of the conditioLS which have constrain ed me to forego my contemplated visit and to withdraw my acceptance of your invitation. My presehse in your city at the time you have indicated can be of but little moment compared with the importance of a cordial and harmonious entertain ment of your other guests. I assure you that I abandon my plan without the least personal feeling or regret, con strained thereto by a sense of duty, ac tuated by a desire to save any embar rassment to the people of S Louis or their expected guests and with a heart full of grateful ppieciation of the sin cere and unaffected kindneps of yout citizens. Hoping the encampment may be an occasion of much usefulness and that its proceedings may illustrate Ibe high- 1 3 cut oft from the communion of the et patriotism of American citizenship, j Church, from its sacraments and partic I am vours very sincere'y, j ira'.ion in its prayers, and, should he Gt.ovkk Cleveland, j persevere in bis contumacy, deprived of j the right after death to Christian burial.

The decrve of excoinmuiiicativu against Dr. M-G!ynu has at last been pronounced, and be is outside the communion of the Catholic Church. As the decree itself shows, this is wholly a matter of church dis.pline. No refer ence is made in the deree to the econom ical doctrine? which Dr. McGlynu advo catea. He contumaciously refused to present himself in Rome to b-j heard in liis own behalf after t wo orders bad beeu made upon him, and he bos been disi p'.ined for disobedience. Every church establishment, from the highest, lo tbe lowest, and alt social orgamzttions Lave rules and regulations for their govern ment. Tha penalty for pe rsistent dis obedience of these rules is abs tlute exclusion from participation in tbe rites, priv.lt gs and benefits of tb associa tion. Dr. McG.ynn's contumacy made his excommunication necessary for disi pline and as an example. The queuitiou was whether the Church should submit to a contemptuous disobedience of its orders or whether the offending pries: should be punished. That was all. Wfcat might have been the result had Dr. McGlynn presented nimself at Rome tend pleaded his own cause need not now be considered. He has been excommun icated not so much because of the doc trines he preached as on account of his disobedience to a comnand iasuing from the bead of bis Church. This decree or excommunication against Dr. McGlynn cannot affect in tne Siigmest ocgree nis personal or po litical rights as an American citizen, aud therefore cannot be made a grout-d or occasion for political controversy He is now at full liberty to advocate Mr. Henry George's land doctrines or any others that he may entertain. Oaly he cannot do this inside tbe Cnurcb and with the authority of one of its teachers. In this respect he stands on the earn. footing wi.h other American citizens. hateverbe may have to say upon polit ical, social and economical questions af fecting the interests of the American people concerns them and him alone. The power of the Church can touch him no further. Sympathy for the fate of Dr McGlynn is entirely wasted. Ire bad himseif de liberately invited the act that severed bim from the church, and he is, doubt less, prepare i to accept all the conse quences. The doctrines in regard to tbe rights or property which he has espous ed, and on which he has (staked bis etanding as a piiest, will be adjudged before tbe bar of public opinion a tri bunal whose judgments, in tbis country at least, are more potential than any decrees which ecclesiastical authority can pronounce. In stepping out of the church as he has done (for tbe decree of excommunication inexorab'y followed bis own act) he has carried his cause be fore tbe court of public opinion stripped of extraneous influences. He speaks no longer as a priest, but as an American citizen. f hiladdihia Jtecord. The W Gettysburg Victory. Another splendid L'nion victory has been won at Gettysburg. At the meet ing of the veteran survivors of both armies around tbe monument dedicated on that historic battlefield two days ago, tbe last vestige of the bitterness engen dered by the w ar surrendered at discre tion, nd the new treaty of peace, whose terms were dictated by the great Union soldier. Grant, with his dying breath, was finally ratified. The result of the war of the rebellion isjsubstantial and priceless. In additiou to the supereminent boon ofjfieedom for all races, it has given us a stronger gov ernment than ever, has destroyed sec tional piejudices and jealousies and has drawn closer the bonds of union between the people of the North and the South. But the memory of the war is now only a sentiment. When ex Confederates grow warm over their convivial meet sngs they may occasiocally talk of the Ixst Cause." When mousing politi cians desire to "fire tbe Northern heart" they may rant and rave about "unrecon structed rebels." But wherethe influ ence of the soldier who survived the war and the honest feeling of the masses come into play, nothing is heard but expressions of generous evmpathy between the victors and the vanquished, and of respect for the sincerity and bravery of both American armies. Thus at the Gettysburg reunion John Sherman writes a letter which admits that the war is ended, notwithstanding his recent efforts to induce Western par tisans to fight it over again ; such a rabid war-whooper as ex-District-Attorney Willian B. Mann, who endorsed Gen. Fairchild's fustian about the re turn of tbe flags, declairs in favor of let ting the ex-Confederates raise a monu ment to the memory of Gen. Armitead in Independence square if thev desire to do so; and the widow of Gen. Pickett.tbe commander w boee charge over the stone wall and among the Federal batteries coet S3 many Union lives, is cheered to the echo and made the recipient of a beautiful floral tribute by the survivors of the very Philadelphia brigade which felt the fatal fotce of the gallant but futile charge. When the survivors of such scenes clasp hands in fraternal nnion on the fields where their battles were fought, who shall tear them apart ? When Federal and Confederate soldiers whose eyes have looked into each other's with bate and fury through the smoke and fire of battle uow beam with brotherly love, what schemeing politician shall In duce them to renew the passions of the war? The Gettysburg reunion kills forever; the hope of the politician tnat there is yet one more President in tbe blojdy shirt.A-. Y. Worll. Rev. Dr. McGlynn. ARcnmsnop Corrioan published the following official decree in the New York Catholic. Review on Saturday last : To tbe Very Reverend Clergy and Faithful Laity of the Archdiocese of New York : Be it Known that on the 4th day of May, 18S7, the Sacied Con gregat ion of t be Propaganda ad mon ished Rev. Dr. Edward McGlynn, late rector of St. Stephen's Church, in this city, that he had already rendered himself liable to ecclesiastical ;ensure by diso beying the positive command of the Sovereign Pontiff, given January 17. Wishing, however, to deal leniently with him, tbe Sacred Congregation re frained from inflicting censure, and, offering him a further opportunity to be heard in his own behalf, gave him a final and peremptory order to present himself iu Rome within forty days from the receipt of the letter containing such order, under pain of excommunication to be incurred j,. fnrto et nimiinatim. This letter was duly delivered to Dr. McGlynn, and, as he allowed the days of grace to pass unheeded, it became onr sad duty to ratify him tbat h9 had in curred by his own act this penalty of excommunication by name, wherebv h attached to this censure ty the canons of the Church.
