The eae inav. a he alleges, be political whollv -ail attempt to effect a political pili pose lij i twin t to tilckeiy in litigation lie that as it niuv. the counter chiuges sttlke to the mot of the foundation lights of civilization. The substance of Senator Quay's alildavlt Is that the mac hlneiy of the dKtilet attorney's olllce has been ued to et ui a case against lilni, to l.illioad him thiough the nnnoyniices and humiliation of a eilmlnal tiial on manufactured evi dence, befoie a piejiidlied and Intel - sted judge, on a charge without war unit in law. under eiti uniHtunce which ate calculated to defer the eventual tilumph of justice until the Immediate polltlcul pulpites of the conspliators ugalnst hlin ijhould have been eonuui mated. Tills- Is an aiialgnmeiu of the coin Is of Philadelphia which, If sustained, must convict those leroonMble for the conditions alleged of being: the mean est iind most dangerous knaves un hung. This chaige.lf established, makes icspec table li compaiisvm the woist thing eei insinuated against Quay. If It Is true that wealth and Influence can leach into the sanctinirv of Justice and by ciaft and cunning tuin the mechan ism of the judieiarv Into a machine); of peisecution and oppiession. then no nuiil Is safe. The ihuigc that such a piostitutltm of the mutts Ii.ih taken place is made b .1 senator of the I'nlted States under oath against a tilbuual heietofoie among the most lespected In the land. It Is a challenge the most mild, the mosl defuim. we can lecall. It is a trumpet call to a battle of polltl uil life or death and theie can be no (oinpionilse until It is decided ileal ly and tlnally.

Tie- leinedy proposed by Senator Mageo for a long- nnd loquacious legis lative sesplon seems feasible and nde ciiute. He says he pioposes to Intio duce before the caucus whlrh Is to de cide upon the organization of the house u resolution pledging the session to ad join n in three months. "One ifrcat leason why legislative sessions have been prolonged," pays he, 'has been be cause of the dllllculty in agreeing upon a time for final adjournment. This mat tet has generally not been taken up until the session has been well ad-' vaiiced and a great numhe. of bills have been Intioduced, When the elfoit has been made to fix the date of ad journment the members whose bills' have been low clown in the calendar have united to postpone action. As a cons-e(iienee many of the sessions have been long- drawn out. When this, hns happened much vicious legislation has been foiced through simplj because impoitnnt laws could not be passed until alter the time for adjournment had been fixed. 'The effectual wav to avoid all this will be for the Hepublleans, w ho will contiol and be responsible for the woik of the leKlslatuie. to pass resolutions In their caucus to nominate oincers of the wnate and house, held at the open ing of the session, pledging their sup pott to adlom anient at a fixed time. This action will lip an earnest to the people of the purpose of the reptesenta tlves of the patty In the leglslatuie to ilo their work with expedition and with the least possible expense to the state, and that only ineiltoilous legislation will leeelve consideration at their hands." It will be a good thing for the Re publican patty and for the people if Senator Magee will put his Plan Into effect. He will be one of the respon sible leaders at Haiilsburg. Circum stances are shaping to put him in posi tion veiy hit Rely to act as the diicctor of the legeneiatlve foices within the party. Tf he will stand forwaid there will be no lack of others to respect his leadership and give It potencv. It tiansplies that the repoi t which credited Geneinl Wheeler with Intend ing to resign fioni conciess was un title. He has not yet decided. Hut stiong piessine is being exerted to In duct him to lemaln In congress vvheie his counsel will be especially valuabl In the consideration of mensuies. for aimy i (-organization, Theio aie gen eials in plentv, but llm lns-R congiess iiii'ii aie at a premium just now.

When we consld el the bio id gulf of batied that sep al ales these two elements, and take into minimi the stiong temptation nt the one element to euK and of the oth er to (hiblt vindictive destun tiveness dining the lemuliilng moments of pow er, llie fait that so little bloodshed and ilotlng- has oicuiied entitle both factions to high pialse.
