kr Ras long been the fashion to deride
and laugh .t•New Jersey, to call it a for
eign country, and .to sneer at its subjuga
tion to the' Camden and Amboy railroad.
Particularly in'New York and Philadel
phia has this been the case, and yet those
cities would be in a lamentable ciindition
were it not-for that peninsular State and
its -- dominant railway. The statistics of
the fruit and vegetables, rabid in that
commonwealth, transported over that
road and 'consumed in those cities, are
startlingly large.. If the science of figures
had never been carried to the extent of
millions, it would have been impossible
to estimate in bushels' the amount of the
various productions of New Jersey. If
the Camden and•Ambox railroad and its
branches had never been built, thoie pro
ducts could never reach the Markets of
the-tivo metropolittut cities of the nation,
which would consequently have been
obliged,to draw their suppliefrom other
locality. Taking the single item of
sweet potatoes, and imagining the New
Jersey Product blotted out, it is hard to
estimate the amount of good solid epicu
rean pleasure which' would be lost to the
country at large. It is-unjust, and-by no
means genorous, to treat New Jerseyas
she.haa generally been treated. • She may
be a sand-patch, she may be 'Merely the

-A QUESTION . nbw In agitation ' ' is
whether stealing is,- or is not, a disease.
The_friends -of many thieves have en
deavored to, excuse, them, so often, by
pleading kleptomania, that it has become
a sort of by-word' 'and 'is indiscriminate
ly used, by reporters and people general
ly, as about synonymous with larceny.
There are, *flyer*, probably few word;

When.we read , of highly cultivated, oth
erwise religious and moral; persons who '
are bountifully provided with this world's
goods, and yet are habitually addicted to
'pilfering a ny and everythingthey can lay

them as far worse than their ignorant and

return them to their o'wnere.- .. Such cases
,are'rere, too rare for the law to recognize
theni, but frequent 'enough„to be seized
upon as possible loop-holes of escape, by

BETTER AND ETTER
Our Republican Adm , *stration has thus
far been four monfi in office, and four
monthly reports upon the state of the
public financesitave been made by the
Secretary of the Treasury. In every in
e
stance th se . reports have shown better
figures an the public dreamed of up to
the ery hour of their announcement.
Jut sit) yesterday. It pleased us to chron
,l6e a very sanguine prediction that the
' reduction of the debt from March 4th' to
June 80th would be thirty ruillions. We
have now the official document from the
Department showing a reduction of $86,-
460,779.48. We claimed the other dair .
ten millions of this. for June alone, and
Mr. BourwELL, with a recliless disregard
'of the GAZETTE'S reputaticfa for accuracy,
thakes the true figure for that month about
sixteen and a half MilliODS. This sore Of
thing may suit the people, but it' shows
very little regard for the prophets of the
Republican press whose noses . are thus
put out of joint. Nor is it of any use for
us to compltin; let us only try to
prophesy her : 1, 1.er a little stronger. 'All
our former vaticinations have been based
upon the old Republican pledges of econ
omy, retrenchment and honesty; but the
Administration have made the perform
ance to return tle most golden, of our
promises. The public debt is under • ac
tual reduction at the rate of more than
one hundreirmillions per' annum. And
it has been wholly accotnpfished by the
most simple of processesthe honest col- -
lection of every dollir of tax, without the
increaie fr j . l mill in the legal imposts.
For example, the last year of \A.. J.
yielded $10,00 : 0,000 from whisky; the first
year of Gnalyr‘will be worth $40,000,000
from that - source alone. From other
sources, the increase is almost equally
marked. The' thieves and money
changers have been expelled from the
temple—that's all of it. The opposition
and some of our politicians who can't get
a chance at the grizulstone, swear that
President Gneszr is a allure. Never was
there a failure with suck a,splendld dir
don of assets. How do the people like i

PIIOOF PIEtitPUSHED.
Yesterday, qunruenting on the Buttday
, _
laws, we avowed the conviction thattheo
lo
gical controversies - are commonly 'con
ducted with less _reason and more heat
titan other sorts of discussions. The pro
ceedings of the Lafayette Hall meeting,
also given yesterday, contained absolute
demonstration 'of the. accuracy' of that
judgment. The seventh resolution adopted
by that meeting, is in these wards:
"That as American citizens, welcom
ing these men of other lands to equal
liberties with ourselves, under American
laws,- wei solemnly warn them that by
huch a defiant innovation of our most sa
cred and time-honored rights, for which
our fathers bled, and which the father
of his country so emphatically proclaimed
and urged, they must be regarded as
deliberately declaring war upon our in
stitutions and aiming to destroy the
foundations of good order ancl_of public
morals, and we shall be conetrained to
regard and treat them as the pronounced
enemies of our country coutof our liberties."
When we remember that noconsidera
ble body of Christians in Coniinental
Europe regard Sunday as it is esteemed
by most Protestant Christians in the
United States, the sweeping impeachment
of this resolution becomes apparent. Will
any sensible man serrously pretend that
the German Evangelical Lutheran minis
ters and meinliership of these cities and'
elsewhere, are bad . men, opposed to
"good order and public morals," and "en
emies of the_ country and its liberties,"
because they follow the venerable Augs
burgh Confession of Faith; in respect
to-Sunday; instead of the ;Westminster?
Or, are they to •be tolerated only liecause
they here forego• some of the latitude
which their Confession allows, , not from
conviction, but out of deference to the
opinionsand feelings they find prevailing
here? Have the Lutherans no claim to
religion's liberty in this republic? Is it
polite or Christian to treat them as ene
mies of all that is good and virtuous
In the hour of the nation's agony
did the Germans allow themselves to be I
"pronounced enemies'of our country and
its liberties`?" • Surely the people of Pitts

furnished as many men to the ranks of
theAefenders of the Republic, as any

as follows :
"That as citizens of PittsburA l a . nd
of Pennsylvania, we call upon our pkibiio
men to take earnest 'ground in defense
of our Sabbath rights, and we warn all
timid and truckling politicians, who are
afraid to speak out, that they may rather
be allaid not to speak out, when our sa
cred privileges as a law-observing and
Sabbath-keeping people, are thus shame
fully set at nought." ,-
Tell us, gentlemen, is it not possible
there are "truckling politicians," and
"truckling" among those who are not
politicians, on your' side, as well as on
the other? Sunday, breaking is a very
common thing. The daily newspaper
printers and the manufacturers of this city
are nearly all Sunday 'breakers. So are
the managers and stockholderS of the lo
comOtive and horse railways.' There are
a hundred churches I. these innidelpall
ties, with aggregate sittings for fifty thou
sand people; and these are not all: occu
pied on any Sunday.j a Where are the
other two hundred tho and? Barely,
there is something of portentotis import
in this, which we commend to the earnest
consideration of the perions who are ape!.
daily charged with the management of
religious ceorporations. If matters are
allowed to go on in this way, it is evident
that some years hence the Sunday laws
will be construed by the Courts in con
formity with the opinions expressed by
Judge , Low= in 1859, and by Judge
READ in 1867. What is needed 1s not so
much angry denunciation as wise and
prudent effort. And there is no time to
he lost•
The higheit duty and the dearestv
\Prix
ilege of men and women is the public and
private worship of God. That public
worship may be decently observed it is
indispensable that, either by authori %
ty or consent, a specified time be set
apart for it, and that no interferences
shotddbe permitted. The American pop
ulation of English; Welsh and Scotch
origin have strong convictions in regard
to Sunday, in whic.h eve largely ; 'partici-
pate. Itukthe population of other stocks
have other convictions,"of equal strength,
and their numbers are decidedly formida
ble, and increasing constantly. Each
citizen has the same rights under the laws;
'and will continue to have until represen—
tative governmenk shall be abandoned.
How these diverse stocks, comminiling
here for all time, will settle the Sunday
question, is a problem the future' must
decide. r -
tcommunlcatedo 4.
In -- considerins - .the Sunday question, it
would be unjust, not to take into account
the fact that our community is composed
of a ireat variety ~of, elements, differing
materially from each other in their man
_
ne , and in nothing more than their ob
servance
of the first day of the week.
Th established mode here is . conform°.
bleito the tastes and convictions, of un
dciubtedly a considerable majority of the
community, especially of the old residents,
but a large and very respectable minority,
composed principally, but not altogether,
of Germans and their descendants, are as
sincerely and conscientiously dis
satisfied. Having been accustomed
in 'their native countries, 5 to
attend church, and also ' to enjoy
innocent and moral amusementatinclud
ing - music, parades, processions, &c.,
they feel the restraints of the present sys
tem, which is partibularly irksome in a
city, like Pittsburgh, devoid of the public
grounds, with her contracted, shadelesa
streets. Who can censure them for
claiming as Much`liberty air the law per
mitsvin observing and enjoying the day
after their own manner? Surely no one
knowing the spirit of , that class, should,
or could expect less. It may, and does
appear to some, that breaking a custom
is as censurable as breaking a law of the
land.
•
Who cannot see , that enforcing the ob•
servance of repugnant customs , upon a
numerous, spirited and law-abiding part
of our community, will not be accom
plished without remonstrance and resist
aneeto the extent permitted by law. If
We claim respect for our; customs,. let via
notlerget that those who differ have an
equal right to make same claim on their
own behalf, and equality Would suggest,
at last, an examination into the case to
the extent of ascertaining whether all the
different parties could not substantially
enjoy their own usages, in their own sev
eral• Ways, without interfering' with, or
annoying each'other.
Can a true advocate of equal rights say
to another, you must not amuse yourself
on Sunday, because it is akainst my con
victions to amuse onesself on - that day ?
A true republican must rather say, Twill
do as I please and you shall do as you
please, and nelther shall interfere with the
other. I've matters of faith, each one is
certain that he is right,/ and all others in
