GOING BACKWARDS
" 'While the question of abolishing the frank.
ing privilege is being discussed in Congress
and while the figures show the enormous
amount of money charged to the Government
on that account, the members of the Pennsyl
vania Legislature, we are told, intend voting
themselves that privilege. Why they should
be entitled to postage out of the public treasu
ry is hard to understand, and cannot be ex.
plained by the fart that documents must be
sent to their constituents. The position of
lawmaker should be one of great honor and
not sought for as a money snaking enterprise.
Those who go to Harrisburg for profit are un
fit representatives of the people. They say at
once "we come for money," and then begins
corruption. If any Senator or Representative
wishes to write a letter to his friend or con
stituent on business let them settle the matter
of postage as business men do in pe ordinary
affairs of life, and if documents ard speeches
by the thousand are to be sent around to
please the vanity of the Speaker let him foot
the bill. We are now in a fair way to reduce
our State expenses. Economy and retrench
ment commend themselves to the public. Let
us not go back to the old extravagant linbitS
and by so doing run into debt.
TUE LEGUILATERE
Up to the time of going to press we had
received no information concerning the or
ganization of the Pennsylvania Legislature.
The caucuses held on Monday night indicated
the election of Charles 11. Stinson, of Norris
town, for Speaker of the Senate, and B. B.
Strang, of Tioga county, Speaker of the Low
er souse. The contest for State Treasurer,
between W. W. Irwin, of Beaver, and R. W.
Mackey, of Allegheny, grows very warm.
No nomination will be made until the Speak
ers of both houses shall designate a time for
holding a caucus.
In the house of Representatives but a very
few more than one-third of last year's mem
bers are returned, and as a number of them
are pledged to measures of reform, a reduction
of State expenses may be looked for. Among
the reductions will lie the expenditures for
printing, and a smaller number of subordinate
officers will be appointed this year titan last.
A wholesome law regulating mining and pro
tecting the lives of miners is contemplated.
TUE death of lion. E. M. Stanton has caused
sincere regret among all the friends of the
Union. During the rebellion hr WfL9 the back
bone of the administration and to him Mr.
Lincoln looked for support aud encourage
ment. He may have made mistakes—who has
not ? But at heart lot was honest and sincere.
Having but one object in view—the good of
the country, he toiled and toiled until his life
was the sacrifice. He (lied poor but we feel
that the country will not let hid family want.
The base and cowardly attacks of the rebel
sheets upon this departed patriot nre not sur
prising. In life he treated them so they de•
served, they wait until the grave has closed
over hint before attempting their slurs. - Ilk
nomination and prompt confirmation no Asso
ciate Justice of the Supreme Court were but
slight rewards for his eminent public services.
TUE funding of the National debt at .41 per
cent. Interest sounds well. The Nation appa
rently saves 11 per cent. in interest annually.
But if Americana invest their money in 7 per
cent. gold bearing railroad bonds and the ob.
ligations of the„ United States are all taken in
Europe, Lbw long can the country stand send
ing that amount which will be required to'pay
the Interest on our consuls every year to feed
the capitalists of the Old World ? Unless our
exports equal that large shipment of gold in
amount, we think that" the people had better
pay the rate of interest they are now paying.
We don't imagine ourselves capable of med
dling with our great finaneial problem, hilt the
above feature of the case has appeared to us
and we therefore give it to our readers.
Colsonkss will get to work in earnest imme
diately upon re-assembling. The different com
mittees will at once report important bills for
action. The contested election , ,cases of Tay
lor Vs. Beading, and Covode vs. Foster will
be decided easily. It is said that Messrs.
Taylor and Covode are sure of receiving their
certificates and that iu both cases great Dem
ocratic frauds were discovered. We have not
vet heard from the lion. John D. Stiles. Ilas
he introduced any bills or resolutions, origi
nated any measures or been anything but ❑
voting member? Pennsylvania's interests ate
great and we should like to hear occasionally
that our members arc alive.
SENATOR Pratt of Indiana is n wonder. Ile
actually wants to resign and go home to at
tend to business. This is his first sestion and
yet he has seen enough to make him long for
the quiet and comforts of home. We admire
the man. Ile is not ambitious, no politician,
dislikes intrigues and wire pulling and must
be honest or his conduct can not he explained.
We wish there were more who would think
as he does. Cowan never dreamed of it.
Garret Davis and Saulsbury would scorn the
Idea. The love of aloe is so great with most
men that they would work fur a life time to
attain Pratt's position and yet he don't, want
it. Happy man.
No successor has yet been appointed to fill
Mr. Stanton's place on the Supreme bench or
to supply the vacancy caused by Judge lioar's
rejection. It is understood that Judge Strong
will have one position and that the other will
be offered to a Southern man. It is probable
that Mr. Hoar will anon retire from the Cabi
net although Gen. Grant is in favor of his re
maining.
SENATOR Drake's theory that the Supreme
Court cannot declare an Act of Congress un
constitutional does not meet with much favor
from either lawyers or laymen. If it were
once understood that ' Congress is Supreme
and that au Act is Law because passed by the
proper body we would be apt to have a better
class of Law-makers or there would soon be
'atiachief brewing.
Ir it Ia In the power of the Legislaturo to do
anything which will prevent a repetition of
the recent mining .disaster, we trust they
will act at once. Scarcely has one tale of
horror been forgotten before another is told.
If Legislation can make the life of the miner
more secure or render aceidents less probable,
no question of party should step in to delay
action.
• 'rut; story told with so much avidity by the
Democratic press that Mrs. Lincoln was to be
married to a German Count is reported on
trlse by letter writer. Mrs. Lincoln is living
a retired iife in a quiet home and should be
safe from the sneers and insults of these.black
guard organs. •
YIIILADVI.PHIA is likely to have a paid
-Are department. We congratulate the chi
genb of that city ou the prospect of a cessa
tion of.the frequent lights nud broils which
bteldtutide under the present systeni.
r ANYTHING that will tell(' to dispel the uni
versal distrust which prevails in husiness cir
cles is oil poured upon the troubled waters.
Many grave , apprehensions have existed
among. even men of Judgment that we were
approaching a panic which would be as serious
In its results as the great financial panic of
18d7, 1 and the feeling has been strengthened
by the publication in sensational journals — of
the rumors that this and that prominent mer
chant or financier had given It as his opinion
that the country was going to the bad, and
that finnncial ruin stared each one of us in the
face. A Writer in the New York Tribune, of
a late dote says that the feeling is owing to
the large decline which has taken place in t h e
premium on gold. and that it is without geed
cause ; that a fuller knowledge of the real con
dition of trade would tend to dispel it. A
crisis in the general trade of the country rare•
ly, if ever, occurs when everybody is looking
for it. Such a panic as that of 1857 comes,
almost always, at an unexpected moment.
The reason is paler t. Each merchant, nt such
a time as the present, is looking forward to dis
aster and is so shaping his course as to be pre
pared for any crisis. He buys only such
goods as will have a ready sale, carries is light
stock and scrutinizes carefully the record of
those who apply for credit. The result of
such a prudent course is that the disaster
which might have otherwise occurred is avert
ed.
It is in limes w hen a spirit of speculation is
rife, says the writer, that financial crises
. are
most apt to -occur—when merchants, antici
pating a heavy trade, lay in large stocks, run
ning deeply in debt therefor. The mercantile
community have closely managed business
during the past Fall, and to-day, notwith
standing trade has been lighter than was au-
ticipated, jobbers have much lighter stocks in
hand than is usual at this season of the year.
This, we believe, generally speaking, is true
of retail dealers too. The people are not well
supplied either, and we are grailnally getting
to the bottom. When that is reached Manu
factories will again be in brisk operation, trade
will revive, and there will be as many for
tunes made then as are lost now. When those
times come, and they can't be far off. blessed
will be they who hold the cash, for it will
multiply handsomely. •
Furthermore, there have not been rts many
failures this year as in the past two or three
Fall seasons, either among retailers, jobbers
or commission dealers. The few failures that
have occurred have been more noticed on ac
count of the sensitive condition of all financial
matters.
THE Republicans of Wilmington, Del.,
have achieved another triumph by electing
their Mayor. A small vote was pulled.

I a liturgy wits produced which the General Synod i doe m Ni. IP Last Hamilton ht., Afternoon. PA.
THE. LEHIGH REGISTER, ALLENTO
three yetrs ago allowed to bo used. as a proper
book of worship in the churches and families of
the denomination.
For the last six or eight years an -opposition has
been organized to this tendency In the Church life
of this denomination. It has souglit especially to
overthrow the liturgy; but through this, also, the
theological position which Is held by the leading
Institutions in the Eastern seetbn of the Church',
the Synods of Ohio and of the North West had
brought out a liturgy framed after a somewhat,
dlflhrent order, and now the straggle was as to
which should live, or whether both should die.
The friends of the order of worship were willing
that this new Western liturgy should be allowed
the same liberty that was allowed the Eastern
liturgy, and so Brought In their report. The op
position urged the sending down or both lit urges
to the c 1 sses to approve or reject, which would
have resulted In the rejection of both, as it r..quires
two-thirds of all the classes to adopt a liturgy.
The report of the committee, recommending that
both shall be permitted to be used, and thus to
live, was adopted by n vote of 117 to 52, nine de
clining to vote.
This decision seemed to shape the course of the
synod in reference to all other questions. The
Church, as it has been moving forward in the past,
was sustained. and vet the policy or measures
adopted were not of a partisan character, but of a
broad catholic spirit, giving proper freedom to the
different tendencies to-work out their legitimate
results.
Anffiher subject that engrossed the attention of
the synod was the question of Church government,
particularly as related to the constitution of the
General Synod. This body, which Is the highest
judicatory of the Reformed Church, is composed
of representatives, not front the district synods,
but from the classes. It corresponds very touch in
Its powers and relations to the General Assembly
of the Presbyterian Church. The questions that
arose related to the size of the body, there being
a disposition to lessen the delegations, to the pow
ers It is to possess, tc the question of appellate Ju
risdiction, Cc. These questions are still under
Consideration, null have been referred to a com
mittee of eleven, to whom was recommitted the
work of revising the constitution, which had been
in the hands of a smaller committee during the
three years previous.
Another question that called forth n good deal.
of interest was the matter of forming German
classes and German synods on the same territory
occupied by English classes and English synods.
An overture changing the present constitution so
I as to allow this was sent down to tin: classes.
The Reformed Church contains a' large German
element; and Its German ministers are men of tine
education and of warm zeal for tile advancement
of the interests of the Redeemer's Kingdom. It in
thought that in this separate capacity in the low
er courts, though united still with the English
, portion of the Church of the General Synod, they
Con be more efficient In their arduous work. This
work relates mainly to the foreign Germans who
are gathered into reformed churches in the large
cities. The, importance for the Church and the
country of bringing this German population under
proper Christian influence cannot well be overes
timated.
Altogether it may be said that this synod was of
I the highest importance for the Reformed Church.
Though there was earnest discussion, 'nod differ
!
eat tendencies there, yet the spirit of Christian
charity and unity prevailed, so that on the most
I important questions there was not a party vote,
but a united vote, carrying large majorities.
There seems to be no good reason why nil par
, ties may not now unite in carrying forward the
practical work which Invites labor. The Church
pu evallingly stands by the liturgy ; but its spirit is
I es liberal towards those who may differ on this
Issue, allowing them full liberty to non a liturgy
. which may be more in accordance with views, that
It Is difficult to see on what ground they can here
after make any objection.
The practical work of this Church, which she
proposes-o prosecute energetically, Is very much
the,..t.qintoffit that which engages other Churches.
She especially is engaged in enlarging the endow
ment of her college at Lancaster, and the theo
logical seminary at Mercersburg, In prosecuting
the work of home missions, and also hi sustain
ing the newly-established foreign mission ; In sup
porting her orphan homes, of which she tins two;
and in building up her congregations and extend
ing the borders of her Zion.
It is beileved that the late General Synod will
serve in no small degree, to Infuse mess life Into all
these operations, and quicken the spirit of unity
throughout this large denominotion. For this end
let all the people pray.—Phi/m/e/p/da Press.
