TUMDAY yjivffisci THe I-asker Resolutions, The correspondence In tlie Lnakcr natter Is nt IcriKth published. Tlie res res res olutlens of the IIouse wcre transmitted Irjr Secretary PrellnghtiyRen te Minister Sargent, under date of January 1 1, and ,were sent by the ruinlatcr en February 1, te Count Hatzfeltlt, the German socro secro socre Ury of state. They next turn up in tlie bands of the German minister at 'Wash, logten, who en March 7th, delivered te Secretary Frellnghuysen n dispatch he had received from Count Bismarck accompanying tlie returned reso lutions, which, he siys, he lias net asked tlie oruperer'a permission te eend te tlie Reichstag, te which they were directed, because he did net individually nRree with tlie expres sion in the resolutions of approval of Herr Lasker'a opinions. Secretary Fre if llnghuysen tells Minister Elsendecker.ln the involved phrase nffeetcd by diplo mats, that the president does net euro a continental what he does with the reso lutions, since they were net delivered as directed, aud Minister Eisendecker replies that " your answer expresses no wish and consequently relieves my gov ernment from the obligation it has felt te retum the resolution which was entrusted te it for transmission." Then en Marcli 10 Secretary Freltng. huysen relieved his mind nnd wastied his hands of the business by sending the correspendeno t te Congress nnd writing a dispatch te MlnistcrSergeaut, in which be Bays that "it docs net occur te me hew the transmission of the resolutions would have involved an endorsement of the political views of Mr. Lasker by the German chancellor," aud intimates that he don't knew what he had te de with them nnyhew, but that it don't make much difference that the Reich stag was deprived of tlie official commu nication, os it long since get it unotll unetll clally. The non-official communication ha concedes, " whlle n matter of regret, Is net one of concern te either branch of 1b inconsequential in tlie amount lest te tlie public, but very significant of tlie reennncss nnd partisanship which characterize tlie ndmlulstrntien of local affairs, and which Inevitably lead te corruption nnd public robbery. Mil, Moiiuisen is reported te be dis appointed that he has net had public manifestations from New Yerk of ap proval of his bill and his policy, just as lie was disappointed In net receiving tlie support of tlie Iren manufacturers In his preposition te give them free ores ; and new It is reported as "net unlikely that lumber will be dropped from the frce list te please seme of the Michigan and California Democrats." 13y this time It Is plain that Mr. Morrison's bill nnd policy nre neither free trade nor tariff for revenue only, nnd that te evolve a general tariff policy from a detailed schedule- of duties is im almost hopeless undertaking, as It Is Improper te call a protective tariff scaled down horizontal ly a tnrlff for revenue only. Mr. Mer rlsen's razeed bill does net seem te satisfy anybody, being neither fish, flesh nor fowl. The e ally closing movement in this city, which seemed te be se auspi ciously inaugurated, new appears te have almost ceme te an early close itself. This is te be regretted Inasmuch in these who engaged in It generally admit that it occasioned no less te them te offset the obvious advantages of limiting the hours of business. There are few cities the size of Lancaster in which business is extended ever thirteen or fourteen hours of the day, and a larger spirit of cooper ation nnd broader liberality of sentiment would certainly suffice here te institute new and Improved motlieds. As a rule men will de mere and better work in ten hours than in fourteen.

GUPID IN COURT. A tVII.I. IT HI". UK Tllltlll. w.ts . wav A Mean Business. Uynrieus acts of the Legislature, It has been made the law that for the cel lectien of taxes In certain townships In Lancaster county, bids shall be Invited and the collection of the same shall be awarded te the lowest bidder, his com pensation for this Bervlce te be the nmeunt of the bid ; and the difference uetwecn that sum and the usual feo.ef Ave per cent, upon the nmeunt collected Bhall be paid Inte the treasury of the school fund of said district. Among the townships covered by this act are Warwick and Leacock. The acts are of different da'es, but all agree that the commissieneis "shall" appoint the lowest bidder collector of the taxes. This is qualified by a supple mentary act of 16C0, which empowers the commissioners te se censtruu the act as te appoint, in their opinion, the best bidder. It happens this year as It hiu happen ed berore that- in Warwick and Lev cock, each, a Democrat was tne lowest bidder. As seen as this was discovered a petition wa3 circulated and obtained the signatures of the Republican school directors of these districts, asking the commissioners te nppelnta higher bid der, who happened te be a Itepubllcau , and taking refuge behind this, Cemmia flloners Myers and Sumray have already appointed Jacob Stark, la Leacock, although bis bid was nine or ten dollars higher than that of W. W. Russer, a thoroughly competent man, but a Dera Dera Dera oerat ; and In Warwick, where the cir cumstances are similar, they Incline te the appointment of the higher bidder, a Republican, who himself is a member of the school beard nnd Joins in the petition tnat he be appointed, te the less of the Bchoel fund. The commissioners defend their action en the greuud that the county must pay the same te ene bidder as the ether, the difference benefiting only the local school beards, and as they petition for the appointment of the higher bidder the commissioners nre Justified In be awnrding the collection ; they also claim that the nppolntees are experienced cel. lectors. It will readily occur te the average mind that this is a llimsy pre. text for an act of partisan meanness ; but their conduct is only less reprehen reprehen alble than that of the township Bchoel beards, who after bids nte received for the benefit of their school fund reject the lower and mere preUtable,Blmply te keep the collection In the hands of partisan political allies. By these nets of the Legislature the collection of taxes In many districts of this county, like the building of bridges aud ether public work, was te be let en business principles, and the evasion and subversion of the law by the Republican commissioners and various school beards, behind whose misconduct the cemmis. blencra take cowardly refuge, is a pitiful exhibition of partisan meanness, which revenue," it mu3t expect te be under steed as indulging iu sarcasm. The only Republican scheme thus far proposed te get rid of the surplus revenue was te " dlvide " It, aud that is se characteristic of the grand old party that none will fall te duly credit it with an exclusive proprietary interest in it. m m Fheelt translated Frehughuysen's note te Miuister Sargent, means " Bis mavck be d d."
