There' was a time when we had an --objection to being a fossil, even in a political stratum ; • but if the Press is right, we will fossilize a- year or two in Frelinghuysen's place, if - the Press man will go down and wake him up and get him out of the .

If all accounts of the present condition of our adopted child are true, there is good reason to believe that Alaska made a mistake when she- chose anew guardian. Ruisian government, even if strict and harsh, is better than none, and would pro tect the inhabitants from the adven turers that since its annexation have pl undered it. YEAR by year civilizationadvances, and one after another the abuses which shame the agb arc abolished. Slavery, the curse of so many nations, is gradually dying out, and the en lightenment of the-times is a guaran tee of the final victory of humanity over this crime. A. recent dispatch from Cairo says.the Egyptian Minis -- tern have_ decided upon , the total . abolition of slavery in Egypt, and no doubt her example will be followed .by 'other nations where the evil is still retained. , . BRADY and the Dorseys have at last been indicted by the Grand Jury, on a charge of conspiiity to defraud the government on Star Route Mail service: It is to be hoped that all the men who have - been :stealing from the . government Will lie found out and dealt with as , anyother thieves are. Stealing from the United States has come to be regarded by many as honorable, and a few convictions, fol• lowed by sentences to the • peniten tiarv, would - be a valuable le4n to those political log rollers who con fuse robbery with sharp co4racting 'NE Chinese arc again command ing* t.lu attention of Congress. A bill has been reported to . the Ijouse to prevent their immigration and pro .liibitiog their importation as laborers for twenty-five years: The bill is Aefended..on the ground of public in terest, and opposed as contrary to the policy of the founders of Ameri 'can government. The immigration question is one of the important quest inns which this country_ mtist meet ; and the wholesale emigqition of paupers and criminals- fr4l , m the old countries ought to be restrained and put, under, the supervisiOn of competent commissioners. Tut: terrible disaster last week at Chester shows how little People know of the dangers- lurking in manufac tories using unknown' material. A score of people were killed by an ex: plosion caused by sornethin i g wlticlr even Prof. Jackson himself. cannot explain. All that is known is that the explosion occurred and the peo- -, ' ple 15t!lv killed. About half the vic tims were looking at, the fire from curiosity. as is usual when a building is bUrnino.. and The firemen were working at a hopeless task, as there was •no .chance to save the building Among the sad things- about this calamity are, that it - Might have been. avoided. had there been -any knowl edge of: the inanufactOry's contents. and that the mon sacrificed were do- ing no god THE great diFicoverieS•of .the last centur3 and the many improvements made,. lead many to ask what can be done in the coming years to parallel the achievements of the past. With steam and lightning working for man, and a thOusand less important agents helping him, it seems scarcely proba ble that the nest, century can equal -its predecessor. But the great prOvements in - electrical machinery in the last year Show that in that department of. natural science, at least, there must-be great and portant advances ;. and it is safe to prodict that, in a few years electrical light will be common in every city and village. It may be that it will be some time before the apparatus will he perfect enough to Make its use practicable in every hobsehold, but the day will come, and this is donbtle;s only one of the many profereents which the future. hides. of the evils of the time is the extravagant use of adjectives in con 4 versation ; what is technically termed gush." 'lsn't it too perfectly beau tiful for any .earthly thing," and 4 . now deliciously lovely," are applied ,with reckless ithprovidence to the most ordinary article::.' The• evil : is growingand, especially among ladies, is developing in conjunction with an a.sthetieism. Men'are less given to the al ti ;' but they may stake large improvement in their se lection of apt words, free from ex travaganee. —lf one has an idea it does not, add to it to have it sand wiched with four or five superlative adjectives, and if he is talking With out one, the• use of them only makes the fact more glaring. Good, plain English, free from unnecessary words; is best to express any thought; and, if pdople would always remem ber it, and that the excessive use of adjectives is an evidence that the trier lacks culture; perhipt there 'would be an improvement. COWGRESS AND THE TAIRUT. One of the questions that like Ban qui's ghost -will not " down;" but, which insists on perPetually coming up to annoy the Democrats and' a few Repnblicans who refuse - to work with their party, is the tariff ques tion. refuses to keep quiet, and . timid Congressmen who fear to ex press an opinion, tremble whenever the subject of the tariff corries,np for consideration. Members from Penn sylvania,- if they represent their con stituents, haVe little - trouble, for the citizens of ,the Keystone State are practically , unanimous on this sub ject. A protective tariff is necessary for every one in this country ; but . the arguments in • its - favor apply with especial force -in a State like ours, which depends on coal and iron mines, and manufacturing for her Wealth. • • A bill for the revision s of The tariff is before the Senate ; Lind in some form must pass Congressduring the present session; and members may well be careful of- their votes upon what is the most important question in Amelican politics. Just' What the :committee should do .and of. whoM it should be composed, are questions upon phich there must necessarily be a difference of opinion but there Can be no doubt that a general, thor ough investigation which shall give the legislators knowledge . of the sub ject aught to be made. After the work of the committee is dene, then Congress must impose such a tariff on all important articles of. import that come in competition with Amer ican,manufactures as shall protect the American articles. This country is too ,young for free trade, and too young for a " tariff for revenue only." The •iniustriess demand protection and the men who arc advocating free trade are working for a cause that if successful must inevitably close man ufactoriee and mines, cheaper - labor, farm values; everything in fact; and. change thousands of men from con- - sumers to producers. The policy of • free traders is short-sighted and • un reasonable, and is, as Senator Frye well said, a .compliance with• British • ideas for . British benefit. America, paying her workmen good;' living wages cannot compete with the' pau per labor of Europe. The laorers of the Old World unable to.purchase land, and with only,. the choice of paying unconscionable rent or work , inb at beggar wages, will always manufacture articles cheaper - than can be done here, and we must either stop Manufacturing or give American labor protection, by making a duty equal to the dilterence ,between the value of labor hereand in competing countries. That a nation should be self sup porting, independent of other nations ard able to sustain himself by the production of eyery.necesiary article, is a cardinal principle .of politiCal economy. A govetnment or party that is opposed, to a policy whiehwill preserve this independence, does not deserve the support of any intelligent . man ; and yet a majority of the Dem ocratic members of Congress are in favor of free trade, or a tarifF which will practically destroy our manu factures and depend upon•foreigners for our supplies: The tariff question is not local, as Gen. Hancock thought but.general. All parts of ourcoun 7 , try_ are affected by it, and the fanner in the West who ships his wheat east for the use of tho employes . 4 the mills, has a better market, and ob tains a better price foil& grain than he could if free tradesliut the mills and forced the laborer ; to become a grain raiser. The 'voters of eVery. State demand careful, conscientious action upon this question by their lepresentatives;_ mad they demand, too, that they shall come ,out in a manly way and support some policy. The non-committal, afraid-to-vote Congressman, who waits and - dare - not express an opinion until a meas ure has been successful, will not an swer the demands of the • American voters upon this question.. • Members of Congress should know the wishes, of the men whom-they represent and then vote accordingly, if they wish to do their duty 'or descrie the com mendation of those who elected them. • c • Forty-five Democrats have pledged themselves to vote against the bill for the revision of the tariff; - and Mr. 'Vance, of North Carolina made a weak speech in favor of free trade. A great,many Democrats will vote that way, but the Republican party will pass the bill, and when eleCtion comes again the Democracy will see that the party which protects the laboring man, and legislates for Amer lea and not for England, Will get the support of the intelligent voters wl ,/ ose interest have been Protected. "'';.riff fOr revenue; Fred Trade" and other Democratic wa:tchwords are becoming terms of reproach and a Congressman whO.has the misfor-. tune to belong to t that par will do well to think before he votes against- ... America's 'safeguard. Tun Supreine Court has reversed the decision of JUdge Pearson. who held that the legislatork of Pennsyl vania were only entitled to one thousand dollars, for • their -services and that "salary " meant ; a fixed, round sum fora specific term.' Jus tice Sharswood delivered the opinion of the court... lie says; To justify a court. in pronouncing - an act of the legislature unconititntionftl and void, either in whole or in part, t must be able to vouch some exception or pro hibition clearly expresse or neces sarily implied. The doubt is to be resolved in favor of the constitution ality of the act. :This rul4 - con struction is so well settled y author ity that it is Unnecessary, to cite cases,, Where the contention is 49 to the meaning of the word; the rule is that- if any meaning, technical or otherwise, will sustain the exercise of the power, it:ls sufficient. On the other baud, if the :strict indlegal meaning would have - theerect to „ limit or destroy, while so me . proper ameritatimi of the wnrd_would suppoit 11 ..... : „..uu.tne w rctwou.„ „ the act, it must be resorted to. Ile then goes onto show that-both words, salary and wages, mean necessarily •the same, and that the 'e - Onstitution did not mean to prohibit . a per diem. - allowance when the word salarr,la Used . . This is probably good law; but there Ought to be tip= check, upon- members.of the legislature and .. something to keep. them at work'; ' and the restraint upon . prolonged, sessions imposed by Judge Pearson'a . decisOn was the best which could be devised. • One of the legislators in commenting on this case, said .if the Philadelphia. members and others who went hothe over Sunday. had , re mained, and all had - kept at work, one hundred days would have been, ample time to do • all the, busines's which was done. '-With this decision there will be littletO hurry legislatioh and sessions will probably grow ion.. ger in the future. It is suggested, however, by the Court, th ata bsen tees may be made, to forfeit their pt.r diem . p.iy and thus all will receive equitable. compensation • for L their labor. . _ LENT has come again, and for forty days there will be a lull in Society, and people will rest up for the Season :commencing at Baker. A :great many keep Lent - from religious victions, and others because of social relations with those who do observe it, so- there is an almost general ob servance of the time, and the eXperi ence of this country seems to be that Yeail by year more arc affected by it. Many things are said for and against the senson : of fasting; bift theinajority of mankind are probably in favor of it and - benefited by it.- - To many the keeping of Lent is undoubtedly_ a mere forM, withotit :significance or value ,beyond mere physical rest, and to these I;aSter comes as one of the.. greatest blessings of,; the year. But there are some who do not "lose in form the spirit,;' and who keep the fast days reverently as days'for spir itual improvement;, audio these the Lenten-season is one of moral-growth and adiancement. That it is well for eviry one tO.havea special- season when he will examine himself to see what 'advance he has made, morally, is certain ; and as few are likely to do this unless there is some time set apart by a stronger law than mere, personal clection . , - wesrmist admit that there is reason to be thankful for the form which, in the Episcopal and Catholic .autrches, establishes a .pe riod of rest and abstinence. But valued- only by its -beneficial' effect upon health, it, deserves commenda tion ; :and those who consider it a mere formias in too . many cases it is, may see in the rest and quiet which it brings a benefit that the tired vota ries of fashion. 'at least :should be thankful for. It:comes in mid-winter when parties, entertainments and balls have tired out all who habitual ly attend them ; and to all classes it brings a few week's of comparative freedom from the.demands of society; weeks when work may be done which tyranical requirements of society would: prevent at other times; and when' needed rest may be obtained. . 'le any young man wants to obtain education in the manly art of self defence let him.go to college. There he will find ample opportunities:for learning, , and, what is better, an abundant field to display'bis knowl edge. The last row was it Lafayette between the sophomores and fresh men, and 'required the . whole police . force of Easton to suppress it. Per haps these little disturbances teach reliance and fit the young men for the battle of life, and they at least preent the, diseases common to the terribly worked student who nomin ally fill the college halls.
