'tions to lend their credit to aid in the con struction of railroads. Unless submitted separately, the last proposition would be likely to defeat the one relating to the Ju diciary, whioh,,otherwise, could not fail' to be ratified. Tun szmouncauxur made yesterday that the bill allowing interested parties to give testimony in Courts, had passed both branches of the Legislature, applying only to certain , counties ? and Allegheny not one of them, created considerable feeling hereabouts, as on no question of reform are our people more pined in - advocacy. The slight, however, is folly explained by the; telegrams la3Vevening. Alle gheny, it seems, waaincluded,in another bill which was matte& 'yesteiday in the, House, and so.amended as to make it getral, law, and passed.. The Senate non-concurred in 'the amended part and thus the ruder rests. • The, Legislature should not' for an instant hesita r te tO make a law-so just and equitable 'apply -to all the Courts in the Commonwealth. The eiperlinent has been tried'elsewherit with ,most satisfactory results, and no good reason can be put forward why Pennsyl vania should remain on the old beaten track discarded by more progressive local ities. Whether the law be made general or not, we urge our members to see to it, that Allegheny county be placed among those securing fthe reform, for our people are unanimous in the demand that it shall be made. . REPENTANCE * STILL OPEN. The Xlrth Article has been, atified by thirteen Legislatures, all of which were chosen last year upon the broad issues presented by a living and progressive Re publicanism. They were chosen in plain view , of the Democratic allegation— reiterated by every orator and'journalist of that party, and presented as the lead ing Democratic, objection to the Republi can Presidential and State tickets of 'l3ll— a Republican triumph would Mean the inaurtration of the political equality of all citizens, irrespective of color or race. On that view, then, we conquered: on that issue the XVth amendment to the Constitution was altogether justified, has been duly proposed, and ratified by nearly one half of the needful number of Legislatures. More than that! Since the proposition of the Article, four States, and four only, have held general elections, and each of the four ratifies thatratification, re-aflirm lag the great princiVe which last Nov ember proclaimed, and which the new Article embodies. , New Hampshire, Michigan, Connecticut and Rhode Island have, within the past month, again en dorsed the Republican doctrine of equal ity before all the laws, by majorities showing, in each ease, an increased per centage of the total vote, cast on the aide of progressive liberty. In all these States the same issue was again presented—and once more we have the same answer. How long will a purblind partizanship lead the opposition, stumbling along from disaster to disaster, in their suicidal re sistance to en inexorable justice? Why will they net exhibit, even at this late hour, some reasonable degree of sense, and unite with us upon the wise policy Which the EV'th Article embodies, that of taking the question, which is so distaste iial to them, outof American polidce for ever? The wisest of , the opposition lead ers would have been glad to do this last year; the policy which declined a course obvious to their prudence, and which once more bound the Democracy to be the victims of their own traditional mistake, was openly deplored by the best of their journalists and statesmen. We cannot forgethow• urgently 'that party watt en treated, even after the unfortunate nomi nations at. New York, to abandon the obnoxious candidates and the fatal poi: icy, and to come squarely Atti to the sup port of a really Democratic Liberty and Equality.

Indeed, it'is apparent that the message of Wednesday was a word in season, fitly spoken. It has convinced the House, not only that something should be done, but that it is a very simple thing which the case requires. it may: be true, as a Senator declares, that no further legisla tion is required, for. the holding of an election in Virginia, but the Honse at last peiceives that it must cover the whole ground, and that...this can properly be done by clothirig the Eletutive,' at once, with'the needful power to 'order the elec tionsin Texas and Mississippi as well, 'Sub mitting the three Constitutions respective ly, by sections or otherwise, and to make inch other provisions as will ensure in each state a fair and orderly expressicmof •the popular sentiment.

TEE ennui Brix, which passed the House a few days since, makes merely the preliminary provisions for the organi zation of a specific Haim, which it; to prepare schedules and perfect other need ful arrangements for the work, subject to the approval of Congress at its next ses sion. Beyond this, the fourth section comprehends the only really important feature of this bill. That section reads 'The census shall exhibit •the number and condition of the population of the United States as it may exist on the lat day of June of the year in which the cen sus is taken; the number of births, mar riages. divorces and deaths thatmay have occurred within one year next preceding said date; the statistics of agriculture and productive industry within the year pre ceding, and statistics of the educational, religious; intellectual, charitable or other social Interests, and vital and sanitary The bill still hangs in the.

He feels confident of Its passage in both Houses. The struggle for and against the bill was well fought and stub. bornly maintained through four separate meetings. On both sides the enormous interests to be affected were steadily kept in view. The commercial Interests of the navigation of the Allegheny, lielonon gahela and Ohio rivers concerned in this bill aggregate, Gen. Negley stated, ;100,- 000,000, and employed, directly and indi rectly, 30,000 people! The resolution submitted by Mr... Paine.

W. H. Hunter, Secreta ry, J. W. Asbury; Treasurer, D. E. AE bury. - Revs. W. H. Brown and D. E. Asbury,.candidates for orders, and J. W. Asbury, Thornton 'Hurley and W. A. J. Philips, candidates far full con tctioto n with the . Conferenoe, were placed, probation. Addresses were next de livered by Rev. W. H. Minter Lewis woodsen i Esq., and Rev. W. n:B wn, after which Rev. Dr. h. H. Nesbitt' and Rev. R. T. Miller,' of the M. E. Church. (white) Pittsburgh, were Introduced to the Conference. Bishop Payne closed the morning ses sion with an eddreseto the Ministers on their 'duties, urging upon them all a faithful, zealot:El and untiring devotion to and labor in the work. At three o'clock In the afternoon the ordination of the newly' elected Elders took place. Bishop Payne cbriductSd the services, which were of* solemn atidini ipiressive character. At the cOnclusion of these services, Rev. B. F. Tanner, editOr of the Christian Recorder, preached , a ser mon appropriate to theioacatdon... , In the evening, at seven lend a half o' clock, a meeting of the Missionary Ss- Oiety WBB held, Rev. JJ W. Devine pre siding.. After the usual introductory ex ercises, addresses were delivered, by Revs. Lewis Woodson and W. H. Hun ter on the topic "The cause of missions the cause of Christ." Revs. B. T. Tamer and D. E. Asbury followed on the quee tion "How may we taist promote tile In terest of the` missionary . work." The closing addresses were made by . Revs. J. J. Tindall and J. W. Asbury, who argued that upon the extent of mis sionary work done in and through its ministry, depended the future prosperity of the African Church; All of the ad dresses were able and developed consid erable thought and acquaintance with the subjects discussed. The proceedings were interspersed with excellent music by the char. which added in a great measure to tho interest of the occasion. It is expected the business of the Con ference will be finished to-day. The Proposed New Market Place— Sites Examined by the Committee—No Selection Made. The Market Committee of City Coun cils met yesterday afternoon and visited the various sites suggested for the pro posed new market place for the accom modation of the people residing in the upper and outlying wards of the city. The first site visited watt that on the cor ner of Magee street and Fifth avenue, property held by Meaara. Watson and Magee. The dimensions of thisiand, on which a number of common buildings are erected, were not furnished. It is within five minutes walk of the Court House,.and those who . tidvocate its selec tion argue that at nc/ other point can so many people be hwonveniently accommo dated. The next site examined was that on the south-eastern corner of Fifth avenue and- Stevenson street, now covered by B. C. & J. IL Sawyer's soap factory, and Pier, Dermas & Co.'s brewery. It has a front on Fifth avenue of 130 feet, run ning along Stevenson street to Forbes street 260 feet, exclusive of Beech alley, 24 feet wide, whieli'divides the property. A sewer is to run along Forbes street in the rear, while there is ope already constructed on Fifth avenue. On the ground stand the soap factory and brew ery; both large and good buildings, which would furnish considerable ma terial for a new structure. Underneath all there is a dry cellar ten feet deep, an object "in' Importance, should the 'Own mittee select that site. The location is very good for the purpose, but the figures are rather steep. c , • • • - At tae corner .of 'Reed • and Fnitim streets, and lacing'un Crawford 'street, the property of Messrs. tileolseSteckeer, and William Ward, was examined. The site is an out of the way sort "of a place, on the side of a hill. It contains a few 'common buildings. -''' The estate of Jacob' Tomer,e:Zect., on Filth avenue, nearly 'opposite the Relief engine house, was examined. It has a front of 140 feet on the avenue and runs back • 200 feet to Colwell street. The principal objection to this place is Its hilly characiter,,whieh would render ex. pensive grading necessary.... There are a few old buildings erected on this ground.. At the corner of Miltenberger street and Fifth. avenue a fine site was ex amined, being a part of the old Clark beer _garden. we believe, and now owned by Win. B. Lyon and others. .It has a front of 240 feet _on the avenue,. and a depth of 120 feet to Beech alley, running along Miltenberger street.
