We greet with a oustecordial welcome
the return of our National holiday. The
quiet of our ordinarily boxy thorough
(ores, and the almost universal cessation
of labor, show how completely this day
has won Its way to popular favor, and
how heartily It is enjoyed by the great
body of the people. There Is not a State

Itself Christian, should tins sox nowicge

time and harvest, ae the unfailing irk-

Thin day'• service rightly interpretod,
le a public profession of the nation'e
faith In a personal God, and In an over
ruling Providence. It rebukes the shal
low sophistry of those who prate about
the dogmas of the kindel o tee reunion.
It is Intended to keep alive in mon'ot
minds the great foundation truth of Re
vealed Religion, that •siod Is King In
all the earth."
But apart from HI character so a
religious festival, Indeed it Is the
only religious festival of the whole
year that bears [be sod of the
State, and is therefore binding on all
with an equal obligation. I S.W. apart
from Its character as • relies:4e festival.
I greet its return as a mere dell holiday
—a day of respite and relaxation to the ,
over-worked minds and bodies of men.
And I wish from my heart such days
were multiplied; In the struggle of life
application and toll are itioessant. Men
live piore In one year now than they
could In ten a century agh Life ie in
termitted, the mind is on the rack, mon
go tad to their business, the heavy bur
den of anxiety presalog on them without
intermission wears them out press
turely, leaving them a prey to some row
el:MS malady, or shortening their palm
and trials with an early death. To my
mind, one of the urgent questions of this
day how to provide the people with
the means of rational and elevating en
joymenL It is jolt as Important as to
Simulate enterprise or cherish industry.
Unfortunately, most of the amusements
within toe reach of the people are of
such a character se to corrupt and de
b.; instead of elevating them. Many
of them are shocking to all sense of mod
esty and decency. They entice the
young and throw them In the way of
temptation and snares, and work the
ruin of too many. But days like this,
that are a real respite, strengthen the
bed art of our nature, develop the social
feeling, and, instead of leading the young
from their home; bring the family to
gether, and afford ample opportunity for
the purest ono healthiest enjoyment,
while they relieve from toll and give the
boor jaded mind brief space for relaxa
tion. If on no highargroeurd than MS, I
would gladly welcome the return of
this doy, or a multiplicable of each.
But when to the. ts molded thollict already
alluded to—that it is a public acknowl
edgement of Qod'a over ruling and gov
erning power in the affairs of men, the
day Is lifted up to a far higher plane
than one of more relaxation or emcee.

danger, the rock which may strand, or

Into reckless and extravagant modes of
living—which can only eventuate In de

this problem to their hurt, and ought to
be oar enflicient warning. I very much
fear that in all our notions, and In all
our philosophy of life, we are falling
into the 'rimiest forms of materialism;
so that the question uppermost in the
mind and first on the totigne Is not

There are other signs of the times, by
no means healthful or conducive to an
enduring strength, which, In the midst
of Our boasted proaperity, we ahall do
well to heed, and, 1: Feasible, correct.
While, therefore, I shun on principle
the disouesion of any question that may
be said to belong to the domain
of mere
politics—questions of Statepolicy that
divide men into parties—questions
that are without any moral signllleace,
and about which men may and do differ
honestly. Yet there are certain other
topics which concern the public good
about which I desire to speak in toms
so plain that none can possibly mi.-
understand them. Universal custom
allows to this day a wide range of sub
jects, and grants to the pulpit a freedom
in chewing which other days `do not.
Of this I gladly avail myself.
One of the sorest evil., one that Is •

THE OLD GEATMED QOESTION.
So much has been said and pqblished
on ons aide of this question, and with
such injustice to the Commissioners.
that a few words on the other side seem
necessary.
In Mt the biethabst Episcopal Church
of Pittsburgh bought two and • half
acres of ground In Pitt township, (now
the Eleventh ward of the city), and set
It apart as a grave yard. They divided
• part of It—leaw than one-half—into
small lots, eight feet •niters. and •old
them to individuals for interment pur
poses only. The rest of the ground was
used for single graves, never •old In
any way, and only permitagiven to bury
bodies as they were needed.
Alter thirty years the ground became
full, and by the growth of the city it was
incorporated In the city limits. Other
and much better cemeteries having been
egabilabed by regularly incorporated
oompanies, many bodies, both from the
iota and the common ground, had been
removed. There were no funds to keep
this ground in repair, it had owned to be
used for new interments, and had fallen
Ines ruin and desolation. The chnrchee
owning it had repeatedly put up and
Exed the fences, but found It Impassible,
from Its exposed condition, to keep It In
decent order. By the extension and im
provement of the streets In the vicinity,
the city had claims against the ground
to nearly three thousand dollar, and the
ground was about to be sold to pay these
claims.
The M. E. Church of Fittataterh had
not been duly incorporated, and there
RIM no charter or Act of Assembly au
thorising titans to lay out the ground for
Martel purpose. For thew reasons
neither the church nor the lot owners
could sell the ground ao as to make a
good title. As the ground had been
abandoned as a burial place, and In Its
desecrated condition was a diegraoe to
humanity, It became yeomanry to vacate
It and remove the bodies to other remo
teness As many who were buried there
had no friends residing here, it became
necessary to appoint soma suitable per.
sons, with power to do so. Hems thl■
Ant of Assembly.
The Asa appointed three poem= ea
Commbuilquere for this - purpose. It di
rected them to advertise for four coneeo
utive weeks, in two of the city papers,
their intention tilt remove the bodies
under the authority of the Act, before
doing so. This they did. And 'after
waiting savant months, they proceeded
to remove the remaining bodies. In the
meantime a great many bodies bad been
removed by their friends. The Commis.
stoner. had at length emptied entirely
the common ground, and had removed a
few bodice from the tote, but only in
those cases where the lot owners had
directed it to be done.
During all this time, extending over •
oeriod of more than • year, and when
everybody knew whet waeibeang done in
the matter, these lot.own•ra, who are
now complaining, never objected -to the
vacation of the ground, mar took one
step to Indicate that the Commissioners
had no power to proceed under the Act.
The only question, was What would the
Commie.loners pay them for the Iota?
On this point the Commissioner. had
several conferences with the-lot owners,
or with a committee who pretended to
represent th e lot-owners Not knowing
what the ground would sell for, or what
would. be the expenses of removing
the bodies andbuying lota in the
other cemeteries, the Commissioners did
not feel that they were authorized to pay
a big price to the lot owners. They pro
m remove the bodies Into such
pro
posed
the lot owner, might .purclrame In
any other cemetery, and reflood them
the original cost of their lots, leaving it
to the mit:store to be appointed by the
Court to say whether they should get
more. Not agreeing upon the price to
be paid for their lota, some of the lot
owners applied to the District Court for
Injunction m prevent the removal of
the bodies, alleging that the Act was nn-
constittidonaL
At this halt the Oommindoners had
esponded the KIM of 18,300 and, were
liable for 12,000 more—expended on the.
filth of being re-imbursed fromatte sole
of the property. The Act authorised
them, atter removing all the bodies to
sell the grotind. The prOceeds of the
male were to be applied, tint, to the buy
ing of new iota and the Altp=lol of re
moval; second, oonape=dMn to lot own
ers; and third, the balance, if any, after
paying necessary mtr. num, to go to the
churches owning the ground. And it
authorised the thurt to appoint three
imitable persons as arbitrators to say
what compensation the he owners should
receive.
Of the seventy-three persons who
OoValued in the proceedings to stop the
mmissionent, forty-nine of them did
not appear from the took@ of the burial
ground to be lot owners. Several of the
othbrs had already moved their deed.
It wee manifest, therefore, that same of
these parties were after money only, and
It was suggested that some of them had
been buying up old certificates ma speo
utaticm.
The District Court thought the Act was
unconstitutional and granted an Winne,
tion. The case was taken up to the Mn.
prams Court, where it is now pending.
Recently, advances were made towards
a compromise, and • very unfair repte
sentatßn of the matter is given In nearly
all of the city dailies
Mr. mill er , • ding to act ibr the
lot owners, an Interview with Mr.
Vankirk, and offered to compromise the
suit In (bud If the Oominisaionentwould
pay thirty-five dollen for each lot repro.
...tad by the wiles In the suit. Mr.
Vankirk agreed to the proposition, if It ,
'Could be done properly and safely. To
see It It could be done, and If so, enter
into the necessary arrarigemmt, they
met at the oillce of Mr. White. Mr. Mil.
ler elated that the parties he represented
owned about sixty lots—some of par
ties to the raft not owning lots, but being
Baste of single interments. Mr. White
suggested that if the Commissioner.
would psy these sixty thirty.thredollars
each tor their lots,they would mast
linelY, in the end, have to pay the same
amount to each lot owner and as there
were three hundred and Men lotaeold,
arntat price the whole amount would
.be over eleven thousand dollars. This
he thought was more than the Commis
sioners would osjustifled In paying, and
perhaps more than that portion of the
property' would sell for. It waa then
=Tthat the price should be fixed
er lot, and that this should be
given out es the price told, so as not - to
Induce others to claim more than that
sum but that the Commissioners should

represented,lps dollars extra as a kind
of - bonus. TO &Mild:. White objected,
bemuse it would be unjust to other lot
owners, and besides -Involve the Com.
mluionsrs to trodtfl. Mr. Miller also
insisted that the Commtaloners should
pay the mousy bailers the bodies were
removed. To this Mr.

absolutely to pay unless • sale could b
effected. Mr. Miller Insisted upon an
absolute agreement to pay In any event.
Mr. White annealed that if the Damage
ginner. did compromise with these sixty,
it would not prevent any other rattles
bringing a similar suit, and that, so long
as the Judgment of the District Court
stood, declaring the Act unoonstitutional,
the property would not sell to advantage,
if, indeed, any bid at all could be got
for it.
With them difficulties In the way, Mr.
White said, he did not me now the Ccui
missioners could safely bind themselves
abeolutely to pay any price for the lots.
He thought they could safely agree to pay
the expenses or removals in pursuance
of the act, but had better leave the guar
don of compensation to the lot owners
to the arbitrators appointed by Chart.
HA thought also that there shetdd be •
decision of the Supreme Court upon the
constitutionality of the Act—without this

p:seed to Mr. Miller, that the lot owners

what they had already expended. But
to this proposition Mr. Miller would not
The The following morning, after the inter
view at Mr. White'. office, the Commis
edoners submitted In writing three pro
position. to Mr. Miller:
First, They would proceed under the
Act to get lots in other cemeteries, and
remove the bodies, leaving the oompen
'anon to lotowtoirs to be determined by
the arbitrators.
&coed, If the lot-owners would pt
tee to other oemetettes, the• Commie-
&toners would remove the bodies to those
tots end refund the original cost of their
lots.
Third. If the lot owners would remove
the bodies themselves, the Commission
ers would pay ill ex pesussz, not °knead
ing twenty dollars for any one lot, mid
refund the original coat of the lot. In
any event the lot owners, or a commit
tee of them, could be present to see that
the work was done properly. Tb. Com
missionan would apply to Court for the
appointment of arbitrators In prinsuume
of the Act, and would glee asoutity for
the payment of the money.
It seems from the pubilahed proceed.
loge of the meetir ;
veit le the lot owners,
held Monday e , November
that all their pro ona have been re
fused, and an aboard revolution passed
requiring all the bodies already removed,
to be returned. to reef the old grave
yard, till "Gabriel's trumpet will be the
find to disturb them r"
The Commissioners have shown from
the outset every disposition paranoia to
meet the wishes of Ude small faction of
lot owners. The great majority of the
lot owners, more than foarfifths of Gers,
appear to be entirely eatiatied with the
Act cf Assembly and the course of the
Commissioner.. Only about fifty or
sixty of the whole -number—for of the
seventy-three names to the bill lu Court,
a good many had no lot, only • permit
for • single interment—eauld be induced
to lend their name to these proceedings
'against tne Commiodoners. And of
these fifty or sixty, a few leading spirits
have manipulated the whole affair. And
from the facts above stated the publie
can judge whether they have been in
fluenced by a sincere desire to premery
an old dilapidated graveyard, or to make
• good thing In the sale of their lots.
