It decided that taking the Lackawaxen section of the Delaware and Hudson Canal, (as the Wears improvement came to be known,) on the conditions prescribed, was altogether inexpedient. But, in the course of the aforesaid ex amination, the Delaware and Hudson Canal Company wu made aware that it was exercising rights in this Common. wealth to which it had no title; that it was, in fact, using its New York Ben chines within our borders without au thority. At _the following session of the Legislature, a bill was introduced waiving the State's nght to resume the franchises granted to Mr. Worn, and authorizing the Delaiare and Eidson Canal Company to proceed in Pennsyl. Tanis under its New York charter. There was a prodigious tight over this bill; but it is cafe to affirm that notmore than one member of either HOl3lO com prehended the meaning and scope of it, and that the Governor, who finally ap proved the bill, was equally In the dark. They supposed It was a sarrender, with out consideration, of saleable rights be longing to the State, when the design was simply to domesticate here the Nett York charter of the Canal Company. By the passage of that bill the Delaware and Hodson Canal Company became a Pennsylvania corporation; a fact public men at Harrisburg have not discovered up to this time. PUBI By Trams Tom Dina. The Pennsylvania Coal Company grew out of the consolidation of several companies created by the Pennsylvania Leghilature. In form It is strictly a Pennsylvania company. All its elec• tiona are held within the State, and a definite proportion of its officers are citizens here. This company "owns a railroad, extending from Pittston, on the North Branch of the Susquehanna, to Hawley, on the Laekawaxen, white it strikes the Delaware end Had. r son Canal. From lb!. point to Ink water on the Hudson, it has,i ty con tract, the right to use one-half the lock age on the said canal. Ice fart, it em ploys not more than thirty boats, pre ferring a rallwaytransportation or which it has the option: This is by a breech road of its own construction, tram Haw ley, down the Liebman n, fifteen miler, to its confluence with the Delaware, there intersecting the Erie Railway, over which It runs trains either to New burg or New York. The Delaware, lAckawanna and Western Railroad Company also exists exclusively by authority of our own law'. Scranton is the centre of its ope rations, frMn whence it extends east and west Towards the east it rum an in dependent Ithe of railway down to Easton, or near thereto; and from thence ' a third rail on that Central Railroad of New Jersey to accommodate its broad. Image. Thus it 'reaches Newark Bay. at Elizabeth, and nuts on to Jersey City. From Scrantou its Independent road runs wait to - Great Bend, in Saoquehan• ea county, where it ' lntersects the Erie Railway, by which it reaches Bingham ton. From this point It seeds coal, by the Chet:tango cane), to and by railroad, direct to Syracuse.. It also follows the Erie to Owego, and thence, the branch to Ithaca, where it freigh a down the Lake to Central and Western New York. • Bat all three of these Companies are, in reality and substance, New York. Their stock Is mainly held in New York; their main offices are there; and tne management proceeds from thence. 1 The laws of this State, so far as essential to the existence of the Companies, are complied with, but that is ail. it was claimed, last year, that there New York Companies had powers which none of the strictly Pennsylvania Com p anies enjoyed; the latter being simply common carrier% and hence making no gains by merchandising in coals.

I Oaring that the Five-Twenty b - Onds may legally, and should be lastly and right- flatly made payable in the currency of the country which may be a legal tender whenever those bonds are redeemed. From our knowledge of the tone of the ' Republican press, and of the opinions prevalent among the masses of the party In Ohio, we have no doubt that these resolutions were adopted by more than a majority vote—probably with some thing near an entire unanimity, and that they faithfully represent the condo- Lions of the great body of the party. The I I test of the resolution relative to bond. redemption is u follows: Resolved. That the Republican party risllcriletif to U :3 i t tai l r th t i o w tre y ttri ender which tae Are-twenty bonds ware Issued, end said bonds should be paid in ilun cur rency er the country which may be a legal tender 'rhea the Government shall be pro pared' to redeem sun bonds. Upon the question of taxation of bonds, the Indiana Convention proposed to subject the present issues to their share of the pablic burthens, except where ex preasly protected by existing enact meats, while the Ohio Republic ens con fine the question only to future Issues. I Substantially, these poll! ions agree, since the adoption of either secures the approval of the other by the Govern ment. • To the poiltion which Indiana and Ohio have time taken, the reader may prepare himself to see thi Republicans of the other. States of the West and Northwest bringing those States, one alter another, when their Conventions are held. Those States will cast very nearly one-half the entire vote in the National Convention at . Chicago, and heir constituents will demand the earn= est efforts of their delegates to embody similar declarations in the platform of that body. It Is proper to state these facts and the just inferences which we draw as to their bearing upon political calculations, that our reader!, citizens of Penn/Sinn/I, and moat of them Republicans, may ex actly understand what to expect, when they meet their western !held, at Chi cago. These questions will come up, backed with great numerical force and will have to be. disposed of. The Re. publicans of those States will say—and probably with trutbrthat they . will be In danger of losing their State elections, and of periling the vote for President in November, unless they can squarely take the ground of Equality in taxation and One Uniform Currency for the dis charge of public and prirateohllgations. As to expansion or contraction of the currency, an agreement can easily be reached on the basis of things u they are, prohibiting any further tinkering legislation and leaving the question sub ject only to the necessities colitis Tress ' ury itself.

THE PRECIOUS PIETAIR The report of Mr. J. R Bnownr., the Mining Comm!laioner who has been for the year past employed In investigating the condition of the mining interests of the Pacific elope and of the mountains, was transmitted to Congress a few days deco. This report closes with a review of the whole field, and his reasons for predicting an berme rather than a di minution of the yield hereafter. The Commissioner remarks: "No tine/einem need be felt as to • decrease in the source of supply. After many years of travel over the mining regions, I feel justified bxuserting this our mineral resources are practically without limit. Explorations made by competent parties during the past year in many parts of. the mineral region hitherto unknown demonstrate the fact that the are. of the mineral deposit is much larger than was ever before sup. posed. It la safe to aunma that of the claims already recorded in the settled parts of the country, and known to be valuable, not more than one to a hun dred is being worked; and of thou worked perhaps not more than one in fifty piya anything over expenses, ow ing to mismanagement, inelikient sys tems of reducing the ores, want of capi tal, coat of transportation, and other canoes susceptible of remedy. In many districts of Nevado silver ores of less value than one hundred dollars a ton cannot be worked by mill process so u to pay expenses, and there are districts in Idaho and Montana where gold-bear ing ores will not Justity working unless they yield from forty to filly dollars per ton.

In soma sections of the coun try, the indlience of these extraordinary visitations of the Spirit of God upon the publie mind, Is remarkable, and of rare occurrence. Such has been the power of thp religious awakening in a large Western 'city, that it has put a pretty effectual stop to belle, parties, &c.. An instance is given o 1 a ball announced to coins off last week 'at one of the most popular and respectable houses in that city. A splendid supper was prepared; but the guests came not—they were nearly all at one or other of the church. if here meetings were being held. I Fro the seine cause, it Is supposed, net over fo rty or fifty persons attended a lash! s able contort at the Opera House of t place. Another noticeable feat ure these revivals of religion Is, the large number of male adult converts and bead of families. . Th joint committee of the Old and New hool Presbyterians, noticed some days since, meets in Philadelphia next Wednesday. We observe the names of Drs. Charles O. Realty, of Steubenville, Ohio, and W.

Robert McKnight Is th e only layman of this body from this section. Hon. Henry W. Williams, LL.

The CArisfian Intelligeneer thinks it a waste of zeal to try to draw the Re. formed (late Dutch) Church into •a Onion with the Presbyterians. It as sumes there is not the slightest desire on the. part of the Reformed Church to limit Christian fellowship, and none to merge Its identity In any Presbyterian organization large or small. The_Grand DIVIIIOII of the Sons of Temperance, In Ohio, has issued a cir cular setting apart Sunday, the lath, as a day of fasting and prayer to God that the came of intemperance may be done away in the land. • The ministers of the State ars requested to preach at that time, earnest pointed sermons upon the duty of Christians In view of this great evil.

The New York independent, in an or. tide on "Revivals,", States that during last week, 8,201 cases of hopeful con yerslona are reported in the Methodist papers. The number reported in other denominationiare much less, but large, Including about2,ooolmong the United Brethren, 1,000 among the Preebyteri ass, and nearly thousand among the Congregationalistr, ten Baptists and the Lutherans. , A Presbyterian Church at Harrisburg, Pa, supports two home missionaries, Paying $230 to each per annum.

Two of the Mission Canferences, or ganized in the South, by the Methodist Episcopal Church, since the war, hove jest held their annual stations, one. in Georgetown, D.

The increase of Members in the former, from 1884,when the Conference was ordained with eight thousand members, Is fall twelve , thoutand, about two hundred and fifty per cent. The increase of members and probationers alone In the South Caro ilea Conference, . during the.. Yuri. was eight thousand die hundred and twenty two, or nearly one hundred per Cent.

The following interesting item, taken tram an account in one of the Canadian papers, of the dedication of a new Eng lish Lutheran Church, In.

Nicholas Michael, .who emigrated to Canada West from Rhinebeck and Claverack,on the Hudson, New York, In 1797, or 1799. One person, Mary Catharine Mi chael, is yet living of those who Ant came from New York. Though now more than eighty-eight years of age, she makes use of her old German Lutheran hymn book prepared by the patriarch, ' Muhlenberg. It is well bound-and pre served, and was printed in German town, Pa., by Christopher Saner, in 1760. It contains the gospels and epis tles of the church year, with a short prayer after each gospel. It also con tains Luther's Catechism, with a short and excellent application. - Another of her household treasures is a copy of Luther's Catechism, published in Phila delphia, by Carl Cis:, in 1791. These families were in no connection whatever with the Lutheran Church, except through there Invaluable ilttle manuals of doctrine and devotion, for more than sixty years, and yet the result of a few years of miuloriary labor in their neigh. borhood was the organiz.stion and estab lishment of an Evangelical Lutheran Churchl What an argument for the method of our fathers in laying a found ation in the faith, instead ot the epheme ral feelings of the hour! Let not this little church In the wilderness be forgot. ten by the Brotherhood, but be affec tionately commended to the future care and protection of God.
