the greatest degree of harmony, Pleasant

What if a public journal, inview ofthe
conviction, here and there, of ministers
of the gospel for unlawful sexhal inter
course, should denounce all clergymen as
abominably licentious! Or, in view of
the other fact, that some business men re
sort to forgery, or go to Harrisburg or
Washington and procure legislation by
bribery, should denounce the whole bust

dlers and corruptionistsl Would there
be a single honorable or decent man who
would not resent such sweeping calum

that the accusations should be supported

which have been reorganized since the

liberal public policy.
The Albany &ming, cfournat- says
'While we acknotiledgelhat fun iffran
chisement must come, and that the time
for its promulgation ought speedily, t to
arrive, yet we cannot overlook the fact
that there are grave dangers In such a
course—dangers threatening to the peace

distnrbanceain Georgia are full of warn
ing. The sullen attitude assumed by
leading exponents of ultra rebel senti
ment, the vibethreats and vicious actions
from reckless Southern residents; admon
ish -us to be cautious how we restore
to' hem their forfeited rights.
_ The disturbances in . Georgia have no
proper relation to the domestic policy of
'the organized States. For the continu
sMce.of those disorders, the Federal goy
eirmaent must be held responsible, just so
far as that government has, and the State
authorities have not, the power to repress
them, and shall fail to exercise it. Georgia
is in law, and should be in fact, today,
still under the Xederal tutelage. Her
case is certainly not that of a people who
are themselves only and wholly responsi
ble-far the mtAntenance of their own do

nessee, not of Georgia, and the considers-
Ilona which hold in one case do not apply
to the other,-
•
We regard the Federal responsibility
for the domestiqpeace of these States - as
measurably at an end. from the hour that
we recognize their complete restoration
to the Union. Thenceforward, so long
as their local governments 'shell. vlolate
none of the fundametital stipulations at
tending upon that' restoration, we must
agree that the people' or Alabama, or the
Carolinati, as of Pennsylvania or tows,
shall be perfectly at liberty to indulge
themseivei in any degree of ,variety
of, public or private outrage, which
their laws shall permit or their
local authorities shall see fit to wink
at. Let them murder and burn, sullied
nate by the way-side or hang by ntob-law,
as cinch as they. like, so long as they
shall keep their hands off from any Fed

nation at large. lip! their affair, not ours.
We can stand it if - they can. We may
be sure that thty will ultimately find their
own interests in quite another policy—and
that we need not expect any permanent
change until they shall choose to inaugu
rate it themselves.
Are we to hold those States and peoples
foreiier in the Federal leading-strings ?
Are we so greedy of needless responsibil
ities, that we can leave none,to the peo
ples, and their authorities, who, are to
that extent, alone !directly concerned ?
The States reconstructed and restored
must govern themselves, within the sphere
of their local powers urger the Federal
Constitution_alf any . or all of them shall
see tit to become unanimously and-Re

right, and we should be powerless
to- prevent it. We may as Well
`make = up' aim inindi to that at
once. It is r'

we haveimposed upon thptrti.atiffly rebel
lions necka, a yoke which rio State action
of theirs can over "shakeoff, which no
popular violence Can shiver, and which Is
ample to protiet - every Fedend right of
every citizen, <of whatsoever race or
condition. Outside of that yoke, we
must give them the rein, which we have
no longer .-a right to hold, and let them
manage their domestic affairs as they . will.
This question of sffranclisemerit is to
be the leading one,—it is so already—in
the domestic politics of the once-slave

The question of Lay Delegation in the
Methodist Episcopal Church, seems to be
getting fair/y before the membership of
that denomination. We believe whenev
er the issue is clearly set forth that the peo
ple will look more favorably upon the
nieasuret than heretofore. Many who
bitterly opposed the reform, when the
vote was taken before, are now in favor
of it, simply because that it does-not pro
pose representation in the same form that
other Methodists have adopted, and be
cause it does not interfere with'the ap
pointments of ministers. Wbat is propo
sed Is simply to introduce laymen into the
General Conference, the :aw making body.
The vote in some of the leading cities,
where there are a number of churches, has
been about the ratio of eighteen for, to one
against. The Christian Advocats of this
city reports as follows: Pittsburgh Con
ference,l44o for, 172 against; Erie Con
fereuce, '706 for, 251 against, and other
Conferences, principally in the West,
1,871 for, 458 against. By private letter
from New Yorke we are advised that the
vote reported to the Local Committee et
that point was two thousand for, four
hundred against. The general impression
prevails that the measure will be carried,
although strenuous efforts are making by
some persons to prevent the adoption of
this'new feature, and, too, especially, by
ministers who were members of the late
General Conference, who agreed to sub
mit the question to the "godly considera
tion" of the people. Several of the
churches in the two cities and immediate
neighborhood have voted. Liberty Street
takes the vote Tuesday next, ani we be
lieve Smithfield will likewise next week.
The fifteenth quadrennial session of
the United Brethren Church closed its ses
sion at Lebanon ,Pa ,on the first inst. Nev
er heath at Church enjoyed such prosperity
as during the past four years. No ma
tirial change was made in the Book of
Discipline. The Conference made pro..
vision that the Superintendent's of Sun
day Schools Joust be members of the
Church. The law prohibiting the intro
duction of ' choirs and instruments of
music into their churches, was modified
as tote a rule of advice. The law-on se
cret societies was not materially modified.
Like the old law, it is prohibitory. An
effort was made to provide for lay dele
gation, but this - body was not ready to
adopt it. Rev. Milton Wright was elect
ed editor of the Religious Telescope, and
Rev. D. Berger, who has so ably man
aged that paper for the last four, years,
hea l been appointed associate editor.
Well as the paper has teen conducted;
we expect the editors will be able to
furnish us with even a better paper than
before.
The Synod of the Reformed Presbyte
rian Church, at Its late meeting, voted to
require the Mission Presbytery of India,
that had sent a protest against the action
of the Synod which suspended George
H. Stuart, to retuthwithin a year to its
allegiance, and notified them that, if they
roftised, a competent person will be sent
out.. to take possession of the schools and
property. We see by our exchangettLtbat
thA Synod has lost one-half of its minis
terial members during four years, dwind
ling from fifty-three to twenty-seven, in
spite of twenty accessions.
The Libtraf Christian represents that
the Unitarian Church at New Bedford has
voted to dispense with the bread and
wine in the celebration of tbe Lord's
Supper. The excrement is not to be
given up, but improved by suitable vocal
exercises; while the time spent in distrib
uting the elements will be devoted to med
itation and silent prayer.
.The progressive Jews are urging reform
in certain things, especially in the matter
of Church ritual: A meeting or Rabbis
is to be held in New York City shortly,
to discuss various topics relating to re
form. Many ofthe more liberal are
in favor of not only giving up the Hebrew
praying in the Synagogues, but of abro
gating the laws in reference to fond, and
announcing that a personal Messiah is no
more, to be expecte&
The Independent gives an account of
colored people of Cincinnati haying be
come dissatisfied with one of their
schools, and that Catholic , priests , imme
diately opened a school in the neighbor
hood of the disaffected parties, and bade
them send their children free of expense.
This generous offer resulted in gathering
over ono hundred children under Catho
lic influence. • •

The Repabllit SituaUon ~In Pennsyl
yenta.
The efforts of such papers as the Pitts
burgh Commercial and the Harrisburg
Mate Gnard.to make the people believe
that the Republican party Is a corrupt
concern; have been attended with this
much success. They have spread wide
throughlthe country the impression that
the Republican party of Pennsylvania is
on its list legs, and will be defeated next
fall.nnless something is done for its relief.
This has brought together quite a convo
cation of party doctors to suggest reme
dies for its sickly state, As usual the
panacea's proposed for its ailments are
as
numerous as those who consider
themsel v es,called on to prescribe
them. The dominant party in Pennsyl
says one of these physicians (in
Washington) "will succumb next fall un
less the Alabama question be made a
party issue," "One more chance re
, mains,"; says another (in New ,York)
"for the Republicans to secure a victory;
they meat join forces with UM working
men and labor reformers." third of
these sage curators noticing that the, Ty
pographical Union has decidaadiersely
to the negro's claim of admission to Mina
bershipc thinks that the Republican party,
to save itself, should side against these
workingmastinistint.
As the doctors in this case, as in most
others, disagree, the party is at liberty to
choose its own course. In the first place,
we do hot think its disease is nearly as
bad as represented, and in the second
place, the remedies offered would certain
ly make; it worse. When the Republican
party orthia state, or of the country, is
driven to seek outside and demagog,.
!cal banes to save its life, the peo
ple wili know that its life is not
worth 'saving. The Party was born
and raised on the principle of equal
rights. !When it deserts that and seeks to
attach itself to othet and less noble prin
ciples it will die, and ought to. The Re
publican party in Pennsylvania is in
some danger. It has been brought
into it partly by the corruption and ex
travagance of some of its official repre.
seatativea last winter, but far more by the
false assertions of certain journals calling
themselves Republican which have perse
veringly represented that corruption and
extravagance as pervading the whole or
ganization. The true remedy for this
state of things 18 to Choose good men for
our Candidates for office for the fall elec•
Lions. In Allegheny county we have al
ready done so, and as far as we can hear,
in many other counties of the State. If
now the' same principal be applied to our
candidates for State offices, 'the good old
party which,iby Democratic onfession, is
the party of "moral ideas," will once

racy and prejudice in the Keystone,State.

Tim Scranton Repub/ican says: '
We trust there is nothing in, the flying
reports that Messrs. Curtin and Forney
will try , to commit the Republican party
of Penn Sylvania to -a war cry against
England. If true, we protest against it,
We want no war with England, and
there is no sufficient ground for shoes,

ner:
The enlargement in the product during
April was caused by a return- - of favors - -
ble weather, unusual success in the tor
redoing and resucitating : of old wells„
the continuous working of the wells,
the largely increaseduse 'of benzine, and
an ordinarylaverage yield from the new
wells. But !another cause, and one more
potent than ! any other, with the excep.
Lion of the se of benzine, was that there
had been m re or less of an accumula
tion of oil i the sand rocks throughout=
the region d, ping the cold weather when , w`
the wells were not pumped• continuously.'
This accumulation was exhausted dur-,
ing April, as the weather was favorable,.
and consequently there was , a material
falling off in the product of the old wells
during May. The quantity of benzine:
used during May was smaller and the
average y ield from the new wells was
light. We should here mention that,
in a majority of the districts benzine
has but little effeet.ailer the third and
fourth application. : •
THE excitement and disorder, into

Venango county was thrown, by

tempt tOexclude certain votes as irregu
lar.and fraudulent, Frompt - the
Republican to say:
These lively manifestations of bad.
blood in COunty Conventions are period
ically exemplifying the beauties' of the'
"Crawford County System"—a system
which originated in political trickery and
best exists through political knavary.:.
If it is right to disfranchise three , or four
hundred good and true Republicans be
cause three or four fraudulent votes are
accidentally or designedly slipped into
the ballot-box of a district at a primary,
election, then the "Crawford County Sys.
tern" is a good thing—otherwise it is a
very bad thing.. If Clounty Conv'entions
sustain such a rule it gives all the advan
tage they need to.the knaves and trick,
stern, and the honest and reliable men of
the party are placed.at theirmlercy. Ilad
we not best consider the plan of return-
Ing to the old "delegate system,". or if
any better can be suggested let as heath?"

THE TRUSS.
The truss is an instrument, or rather an appal !
ante, employed to retain the bowels to their
proper place, when ttey have been forced out of
their natural potation, and this forms a disease
called a rupture or hernia, Hernia is ?educable or
or nit. 'When net reducable. it becomes strangu
lated or incarcerated, a condition of always more
or less danger, and requiring, in most cases, a
Bulgiest operation 'before the intestines can be
restored to their pruper position. When not
strangulated primarliy, ruptures are liable to be
come so by accident or neglect, hence, the neces
sity of trusses to keep the intestines in their prov
er place, and if possible to cure the dlstase by
closing the opening ; through which. the bowels
protruded. In times past trusses haie been re
garded as palliathe remedies rather thsa the
means of effecting a rad:cal mire:. Dr. /later.

opinion that a large port - on of cases, can beradf.
Gaily cured. He attributes the failure to cure,
inmost cases, to the ineffi testy of the trusses

maintains that there are few conditions of the
human botyy requiring greater skill and caPteltr
than those in which there is protrusion of any
part, and mach more so wken the part is se intl

are the intestines. " Trusses of eery kind and at
