Madlcm et aI. is n dispute between rival beards or claimant trustees for tlie control of tlie remnant of property In the powesalen or tlie decrepit society of Seven Day Baptists tit Eplirata. It has bajn dragging Itself through our courts for several years, get te tlie deer of the supreme court lu 18S2 and was kicked out in 18S3. One set of tlie contestants claim a constituency of 10 members of tlie soclety, tlie ether 17. though tlie regularity of some et these latter is lm paached en tlie ground that tlie preacher who baptized thein Inte the sect was net orthodox and authorized. It can easily be seen upon what narrow lines these rights dlvlde aud hew stubborn men, mere concerned about the worldly than the spiritual Interests of a religious assecla. Hen, ene party with its property in baud and the ether h?htln;r for control of it, could wage Interminable litigation evor the issues thus involved. But it is net the policy of the law that litigation should be eternal. However nasty this church quarrel and contemptible the s'.ake in It, tlie parties te it are entitled somehow te llual judgment, and it is net entirely the fault of the civil law that they de net obtain It. The J tidge Pat terson trustees being in possession of the property, he granted and made perma. ncntan injunction against the Judge Livingston trustees, from which the president judge very naturally dissented, whereupon the supreme court en an np peal decided that In view of the divided court below the decree was void, aDd there was nothing before it te discuss or decide. When it came en fgr further argument in the lower court, Judges Livingston and Patterson divided as before and there tbe case remains, tied up as befere, and likely te remain se until death, a new judicial election or a returning respect for the law aud re gard for the rights of Bulters en the part of the court, Intervene te unlock the dead lock. In the capacity of a mutual friend the Intelligent. Kit only renews the sug gestions of the supreme court itself te our equally esteemed, but net always fraternal judges, when we recommend them te take the easy and honorable way out of their dilllculty te which the supreme court points them when it says. "If the learned judges below canuet agree upon a proper decree they have the power te call upon a judge from another district te decide the case for them." Te be sure, this would be a serious rellectluu en their own sense of judicial preprlety.aa it would be graceful and entirely proper for either te yield his pride of opinion te 'allow a decree te be entered se as te luImHef the supreme court reaching themeiitH of the case; but as neither shows any disposition te de this tbe plan te Invite a judicial referee from betnu ether district 13 the enlj practicable one, aud there should 1 no delay in reporting te it. There are some very excellent neigh boring judges te whom this service might be committed. Judge Livingston would, et course, object te Judge Clay Clay eon, of Delaware teuutyfand Judge Pat tersen would net propeso a member of the Dauphin county court ; neither might incline te tlie Berks county judgCB, us being tee nearly of the vicin age of the case , but Judge Wlckes or Judge Gibsen, of Yerk, Judge Futhej of Chester, or that bright aud braiuy new judge, Arneld, of Philadelphia, would be just ttie man te clear the judicial track here of the obstructions piled upon it by the collision of an irresistible force with an immovable body. Tjik statu beard of accounts has cei tulnly acted with wisdom in declining te take jurisdiction and in referring te the courts the claim of the Western Union telegraph company te a settlement for $50,000 of the $117 000 tax account charged agnlnst the corporation by the commonwealth, and which it was re ported a abort time age this beard had agreed te compromise at thu lesser amount offered by tlie company. The scandal cieated in Pennsylvania some years age by Its bjard of accounts ms terleusly nud suspiciously ab itlngu large part of a claim for tax against a delin quent transput latum company should be for all Union warning of the stnte ofll efll clals te proceed with caution in such matters and leave all doubts in their minds te be settled by courts of law. Especially should they be wary In deal ing with he wily a corporation as the Western Union, which cornea forward new claiming that the amount it offers is the outblde sum in controversy, aud "the company h willing te pay, became they desire te avoid litigation aud live in peace and harmony in the state." This c mipany lias grossly offended the law, and imposed upon the people et tills commonwealth by absorbing competing lines in violation of the constitution, and itdottrvesuo consideration except tlie strict constrir.'tlen of the law's letter. Nothing is mere disastrous ie a can didate for olllce than that his party friends go fishing or hunting en election day. In vlew of the ticket nominated en Wednesday, a cousidcrable number of Philadelphia Republicans show a maul fest disposition te de this thing. The Philadelphia Evening Jiidldm, about tlie Btralghtest organ of its party in the city, prints the names of the nominees and adds te their editorial announcement that "the duck sheeting is said te be very flne nlenr the Jersey shore and the fishing Is net bad." The JhtVetin sails in the Stokley beat. Ir thore la anything fatter than a Star Koute contteot it is the pest of siweial oeunsol fur the govcrumeut lu the prose cution of tbe Star Reuters. Tub eud of tbe Star Reute trial aud the report of our county auditors may get along about the Bauie time, but few muu new born will last until then. Seven beds of United States senators have fat oflleial clerkships lu Wnslilngcu aud the number of relatives raeru remote In degree that enjoy similar distinction is legion. In splte of the boasted eflicieuc) of New Yerk dotectivo agencies, Mr. Delmunioe, a prominent citizen, has been missing nearly a wcek ; aud tbe alleged sleuth hounds of justice are rapidly reaching the conclusion that the earth has swallowed up the object of thelr search. TilET have disagreeing judges down in Nashville, Tenn., tee. They "stand high lu the community " Relleetiaus by ene upon the ether's court recently caused them te seize each ether by the threat and draw knives, but at this stage of the judicial disagreoeieut somebody else called hiuiKelf in and they were scpamled. Thus far la the Epbrata church case the battle with carnal weapons has been re stricted te the pitchfork engagement botween the litigants. The olive trees planted by Spitnsh missionaries in California ene hundred years age are still prolille of crops, wbile from their stock have spruug the large cultivation of this tree ami tbe thriving industry of oil making which has attract ed se much attention te viticulture in that favored climate. With the development of this iuterest In our country the superior ity of olive oil te butter as an element of culsine Is likely te becoine mero generally appreciated, while the advantage of culti vating a richly bearing tree that yields in seven or eight years and lasts for centuries are net likely te etenpe the notlce of the California planter.

Ttie cist te collect $1 ranged from .018 per ceut. in New Yerk te $50.8 1 in Atlanta. There ate ever thirty places where it cestH ever a dollar te collect every dollar of custom receipts, and it is real droll te read that lu ene towatbrce men, at an cxpunse te the gev ernment or 41,3U1.5.i collected $282 ; In another, eight men, at an expimse of ?j,rj.-j.e; ceuectcu ssiv.ai, while et a third an official force of two in-sn, were paid $1,067.05 or taking in 31, aggregate receipts fur Unde Sam. Ex-Mayek S'1eki.i:v, of Philadel phia, sreaks out straight aud bluntly iigiilmt the Republic in city ticket nomi nated ou Wednesday. He siys it will be beaten and ought te be beaten ; that Smith Is net lit te be mayor and gained his nomination by disreputable methods ; that his election will net be aided by the fcuppert or the money of Stokley's friends; that the men who nominated the ticket this jear betrajed Stokley in 1831, nud his friends ewo them nothing but the sharp edge of the knlfe. This might be only the idle talk: of a disap pointed man, but Stokley, however tin tin ucrupuleuB, Is an Individual of unques tionable will power and personal ferce ; he repreeenta an obstinate Iniluence In Philadelphia relitics that will make itself felt lu February.

One toheol of financiers are of opinion that as th? Binklng fuud has been exceeded by $455, 115,333, we should suspend further pay ments until the requirements of the fund catch up with that amount. Mr. Felgcr, ou tbe ether hand, holds te the present system, by which the $250,000,000 or par cents, will be reduced within three or thrce and a half years.
