THE great central idea of Christianity
the resurrection of the savior of man
kind, was celebrated in an appropriate
manner in most of the churches of the
city Easterday.
In the Catholic and Episcopal Churches
the seYvices were of atruly imposing char
acter and the attendance unnsally large.—
After the penitential season Easter comes,
as spring after a long irin r, and buds of
hope, joy and.gratitude spring forth in
all hearts. These seasons, if rightly con
sidered, are eyeute which give all persons
a higher platform on which to act, and
hence communities are benefited by their
lessons and discipline.—As.
AT the last Presidential election, the
Grant-Pinchback officers reported the
returns from Baton Rouge, Louisana,
thus: Grant, 3,350: Greeley, 1,204.
This showed a most decided Radical ma
jority in Baton Rouge. But the charter
election was held in that city on the 7th
instant, and the Radicals did not have
sufficient confidence in!their rote to put
op a ticket, so that the MeEnery ticket
was elected without opposition. C,,u'd
a stronger proof be adduced of the falsity
of the so-called "count" of the &Rog
gites ? Yet President Grant keeps Kel
]ogg and his friends in power, a..tl thus
tramples upon the rights of , the people,
the voice of the majority expreised through
the ballot-box.
AT the late charter election in Albany
New York. the Democrats carried the
city by fifteen hundred majority. In
noticing the result the Albany Argus
says: "The result in the sev
eral wards proves how strongly .and in
dignantly the people condemn the ger
rymandering of the districts by the Leg
islature of 1572, whereby the Republicans
fashioned the bounds to suit themselves,
in violation of every principal of fairness
It made to difference to them whether
one ward had four-fold more territory or
population than its neighbor. The only
question that entered into their scheme
vas hew to carry a majority of the sit
teen against an aggregate Democratic
majority of fifteen hundred." This they
failed to do at the last election. Still,
the attempt to legislate a minority into
a majoitr remains to blacken and blast
the charaeter of those who concocted and
carried out the scheme. Tl.e Apportion
ment bill of this State is of a similar
character, and intended for like dishol
est pnrposes,and it may produce the same
effect if suffered to become a law.
Divorces.
The great number of divorces granted
during the present session of our legis
lature has attracted attention. Hereto
fore no bills were so hard to pass through
as those annulling the marriage contract.
This year the rule appears to have been
reversed and divorce bills seem to have
slipped through in large numbers as
easily as local bills of the most trivial
character. A well informed correspon
dent, who seems to have taken pains to
secure com' information, declares that
"some of the divorce bill which have
been passed presented no grounds for
2egislative action and most of them
would have been rejected by the courts."
Ais high time the right to pass divorei
bills was taken away from the legislature
by constitutional limitation. The marriage
tie should only be dissolved by the courts
for good reasons after proper judieal in
restigation, with fall notice to both par
ties

IN England they have a habit of send
ing to jail grocers and liquor dealers who
sell unwholesome and adulterated com
pounds. At Clerkenwell recently, one
George Brown adyertised cheap tea at
eighteen pence a pound. A chemical an
alysis proved that the stuff contained
numerous ingredients, including iron
filings, but not a leaf of Sonchong, Young
Ilyson, Bohea, or any other variety of tea
plant. Brown was arrested and when
examined by the magistrate, he indig
nantly rsked what kind of tea the public
expected for eighteen pence. He was sent .
to jail for six months. In Pennsylvania
there is a statute which punishes with
6ne and imprisonment any person
who shall sell adulterated or unwhole
some articles of food or drink, or who
shall adulterate any food or liquor for the
purpose of sale. But white the most vil
%nous adulterations of every descrip
tion are exposed for sale every day to
poison the people, punishment for the
offense is seldom heard of.
TITE St. Louis Democrat, administration,
says of the steal: We record with great
pleasure the fact that Senator Schnrz de
clined to receive the 85,000 of back pay
voted by the last Congress; and with
equal pleasure we record a similar fact in
favor of Vice President Wilson. But we
c infers to more concern for the future
than fur the past of this increased pay.
When all is told about the money refunded,
it makes an honorable record for those
who refund it, bat it only reduces by a
trifle the amount of a steal which will at
any rate foot up' a million and a half.
I.•t those who have got the money keep
it, and much good may it do them. We
object, however, to having the steal re
peated at every future Congress,and there
fore we insist upon agitating the question
of repeal as an issue in all future cam
paigns, until accomilithed. Mr. Erastns
Wells, member from. the Second District
of this city, promises to introduce a bill
on the first day of the December session
to reestablish the old rate of $5,000 per
annum.- By so doing he will entitle him
self to the applause of the country, and
the man who vote against him may bid
farewell to public life.
Connecticut.
Graafian, the Credit Mobilist% tha Re
troactive Salary bill, the Caldwell and
Pomeroy cases, and various other acts of
like character, proved too much for the
back of the party camel in Connecticut.
It broke at the late election, and Hon.
1 Charles IL Ingersoll, the Democratic can
didate for Governor, was elected by tour
thousand majority. His opponr nt was-a
strong party man. He coulAcommand
the support of all the party managers.-
1 He was aided by the general government
in all possible ways. All the strength of
the State administration was exerted in
his behalf. Money was poured into the
State from Boston, New York and other
places to defeat the Democratic ticket.—
But all these appliances proved worthless
againt the wrath of au aroused and in
dignant people. The masses iu Connec
. tient daring the last session of Congress
saw the Radical party with its mask or,
and were ansions to put upon record
their repudiation and detestation of the
dishonest acts of that party and its lead
. leg men. Hence they voted for Mr. In
gersoll and defeated his opponent. When
it is remembered that since 1556 the
Democrats have only canted Conneetient
three times, and then by small majori-
thousand

signifcance of the late election in Con

THE address of Governor M.'Enery,
of Louisiana, to the people of the sev
eral states, has been transmitted to the
Kentucky legislature by Governor Leslie.
lie reviews the situation of affairs in
Louisiana and says :
"Their cause is our causes;, for their
danger is our danger. The bitter cup
which they drink to-day may bo soon
commended to our lips.. To abandon her
is to abandon the common cause of state
rights. It the great wrong which has
been perpetrated against her shall pass
unchallenged and unredressed now, it
may serve as a precedent to render re
sistance to similar encroachments more
diflicult in the future."
In conclusion . Governor Leslie says
"I therefore recommend that a re
spectful but earnest and solemn protest
against the u n win an table interference
of federal authority in the state of Louis
iana, to which your attention has
been called be prepared and uttered
by the general assembly of the
state of Kentucky, in a suitable form
to be laid before the congress of the
United States, and that our senators be
instructed and our members in the house
of representatives be requested to give all
proper aid in supporting the appeal pro
posed to be made by the people of
Louisiana for a redress of their griev
ances."
A Statesman Speaks.
In the Senate on Friday Carl Shurz
emerged from his long retirement from
debate, and made a speech in favor, first,
of the vacation of his seat, and if that
fails, the expulsion of the corruptionist
CaftelL He said:
If is time we should face the dangers
which threaten the Republic. • It has no
monarchical traditions, no pretenders of
historic right to distrait its repose and to
plot its overthrow. It is not likely to
succumb to the shock of force. But there
hai.e been no republics whose original
constitution was us healthy as ours, but
died atter all of the slower disease of c.ir
roption and demoralization, and the day
of constitutional life and anarchy of
power which a.ways go hand in hand with
them. It is time for ns to keep, in mind
that it requires more to make and pres
erve a republic than the mere dbseneeof a
king, and that when a republic decays its
soul is apt to die first, while its outward
form may still last. I hope std trust
that we are still far front that point, but
no candid observer will deny that there
are symptoms of a movement in that
direction. But there are symptoms also
which inspire the hope that the down
ward movement may soon he checked.
and that the checking has already oini
menced. Wrat is our office under cir
cumstances like these? This is the Sen
ate of the United States. When the
American people struggle against the
power of corruption, their Senate should
march in the front rank to lead the ad
vancing column. Their SN'llate should
at least hold high its standard of purity
and honor, which is to restore the wan
ing confidence of the citizen in the in
tegrity of the law makers. 'Whatever
personal disagreements, whatever quar
rels of party may divide ns, this is higher
than party. and in this at least the Sen
ate of the United S'ates should be un
animous.
Disgraceful Legislation
HARRISBURG, April 10.—It is deemed
advisable to explain - that under the man
ner in which legislation is condncteil. at
Harrisburg it is practically impossible bi •
know what has been done and what has
been left undone. The system is in ev
ery way objectionable, and appears to hale
been designed to favor concealnient.,t rick
ery and fraud. It is sufficiently Irad to
assert the fact that laws to govern the
people have been made day after day, by
simply reading their titles, but to this
must bo added the announcement that
even if harmless at first, they are liable
to be so manipulated at almost every
stage of their passage as to completely
Lose their identity. The committee which
are presumed to .ousider the bills before
they are presented to the two Houses aru
of no account. No amount of vigilance
will avail either a member or reporter to
ileteci. a change or fraud in a bill, for
how is it possible if the documeat is not
read to know what it contains, or what
changes are made in it? The printing
and filing of bills is of no service, fur
with two thousand of them on the desk
it is folly to attempt an analysis. I)nring
the present week the scene attending the
passage of bills was utterly disgraceful.;
Noise, confusion, misunderstanding and
recklessness prevailed. The Legislature
was transferred from a deliberative body
introa crowd of eager men competing with
each other to go through certain forms'
necessary to secure "the passage' of bills. :
The dangers of such a mode of legisla- ,
tion are plain. The results, (for which
the reporters of the press respectively de
dine to be held responsible,) are not yet
apparent.
Important It True.
A correspondent of the Mobile Reg
ister writing from Washington says:
"Every step the President has taken
since the 4th of March has militated
against him. His interference in behalf
of a political clique iu Lonisiana, his fix
ing of his brather-in-law Casey upon the
senate, aiterhe had .promised to demand
the resignation of the collector at New
Orl.tans, with other things of lesser mo
ment; have set the politicians to looking
about them for another candidate for 1876.
Casey's renomination has sowed seeds of
dissention in the senate, whieli will pro
duce startling changes in the Topublwan
ranks of that body ere twelve months
have elapsed. It has been widely an non no
ed that Morton and Conttling are oon
tending for the leadership of the senate ;
but they have a greater prise in view.—
Both ara Presidential aspirants, and
Conkling baying asann3ed to speak for ,
the sopainistration, 31orton has been '

hence there will be a large opposition
majority iu the house of representatives.'
It matters not what those who are to com
pose this majority may call themselves;'
whether democrats, conservatives, liber
als or republicans, they will be ranged I
against the administration. The wires
that arc even now being Mid will then be'
in full operation, and the work of Presi
dent making will go briskly on. Let us j
glance at the leading aspirue ts. .
"Vico President Wilson has already ;
faxed longing eyes upon the White House.'
He hopes to conciliate the south, whose !
people he has abused and libelled, and
counts largely upon the negro votes.—
Senator Morton, as a representative of
the great and growing west, overshadoes
his eastern rival, Senator Conkling. The
latter is doomed to fall with Grant. a fate
the shrewder western politician will avoid.
Speaker Blaine is perhaps stronger ti t an
either of those mentioned ; abler and a
I more adopt wire puller. He wonld have
the support of many who now consider
themselves democrats, and is the favorite
candidate among the representatives of
the press here. Butler has intimated
that the White House, and not a seat in
; the 'United States senate, is time goal of
his ambition. Ile considers the govern-
I orship of Massachusetts a stepping stone
I to that Presidency, and is to make a vig-
I orous fight for the former position this
fall. Certain republican journals have
suggested Elihu B. Washburne, of 111., as
a candidate for the Presidency in 1876
but a sixteen years' lease of the office
ought to suffice that state. The contest
is apparently to be beteween the east and
the west, with the chances in favor of the
I former. The south is not taken into Con
sideration, and a democraatic candidate
has not even been whispered of as yet.--
It is impossible to look four years ahead
! and discount a political struggle, but
just at present Blaine appears to be the
coming man."
