A few days ago the - World published I trief synopsis .° of the laws which have strangled - our commerce, and called the ettvition of American Wrcbants to the Tact that a sweeping reform of our - navi gation. acts must .nPcessarily precede any attempt to recover our lost position on the ocean: Had President Hayes con- suited the interest' cif the country'instead of the interest of his . nwn ,Administra tion, a movement 'for the repeal of the restrictions which, t: ow--, make the estab lishment of an American merchant ma- , . rine imppossible might have been begun and carried through at a Bn/rime:session of Congress. If the war in .Europe be cr,me general, and particularlY if it in volves Great Britain, the carrying trade of the world will naturally seek the pro tect* of, the 'American fla `, and yet the actual state of our laws reg. lating com merce is such that American capitalists and merchants will be entirely unable to avail themselves adequately 'of this gel den opportunity. At the Chambei of Commerce dinner this sabject, so vital to NeW York, was taken up by Secretary Evarts; wilt was strongly seconded by Mr. David A. Wells, Secretary Evarts talked Free Trade with an 'emphasis which shows that he at least has little faith in the `- resurrection of. Old Line Whiggery,- declaring that when we sell we must be ready to buy; that commerce mist be delivered from entangling laws; that tariff ought to be simple ; that noth ing can prevent the' revival of our com mercial prosperity but bad laws, and that we mustget ships by buying them as well as by building them: Mr. Wells clinched these statements which echo so exactly with our own. "What is the use," he - said, "of an army or navy to defend our commerce_: when - the `laWs say there shall be no commerce ? By. Sur present laws a citizen is forbidden..to import three things—counterfeit m(;ney, obscene books and, ships." :Everybody must ad mit the appositeness of such la,nguage as this.before such an audianee on such an occasion ; and it is 'an _encouraging sign .to see the fundamental doctline of Free Trade in all things, including the ves sels by which ,all trade must be carried on, thus openly' advocated not only by a theoretical political economist . whose opinions are those of a professor, but by the representative. etatesman of the Ad ministration, who must be supposed'to speak with an th ority regarding its . policy. If; as the . .remarks of , SecNtary 'Evarts indicate, the Administration _intends to urge the abandonment of the _Republi can doctrine of complicated tariff's . for protection and not for. refe, andto , revenue, , advise the,repeal of those restrictions on the , purchase of _ships which ,the Repub lican Tarty imposed - and .has so long Maintained, the last link which connects Mr. Hayes 'and his associates .__with the record of theorganization which:put thein into office:will be severed... Such a move,. ment would be another long step towards recognizing the - triumph of Democracy in our, national affairs, and one scarcely less difficult to take than `was the , cone . * !lion of Home Rule to - the- Southern states., Every day makes it plainer - that the' Administration of Mr. Hayes is lead ing directly, not to . any coMpromiie be'- tre!' The , Democracy and the Adminis tration, but to an • absolute supremacy, of Democratic ideas. and of Democratic or, ganization in the control of public aflaire. The party which actually, carried the last presidental election; and-not the par ty 'which cgnningly 'and Unfairly appro- Priated . to=` itself the presidential office, Must rule the nation, , and the Sooner all sensible men recognize this - as ineyitable the soonetwe shall see the!conntry really moving on:, to a ne . w''era of Prospeilly and ueo.ce. • , ,-, - - . . . ctiriona experiment:with the tug net - Nret .

Colonel-J. W. Forney, in: .a letterlo the Lancaster New' Era,' tellS a obarsc teristic story relating to `the' late': -Presi dent Buchanan, and which :stiows how etrongly . he was opposed to gambling, on the result of elections, not ouly'opposed to it personally,.but opposed to his polit ical friends 'betting _ ; on elections- eve n when they a ':fsare thing" Of it. The point . may be ,made by giving Colonel Forney's language - f • , "It was after the Presidential tilection in November, of 1844, when lienty Clay was the Whig, and-. James K. Pblk the Democratic candidate. , Great 'crowds had, gathered at the' railroad' depot in Laricaster to'reeeive the news froth West ern Pennsylvania. There 'were no uni versal telegtepif wires. then, as now, and we had to be, content with the news as it carne to u 8 by ?team. The train from Pittsburg came in and a great rush was made to get , elPsion news from the pas sengers.. The first man I 'filet was the late Henry S: Megraw, then a young lawyer in large practice 'in Pittsburg, who, taking 'me aside, gave me the fig ures of the results in a number of the Western counties, which he' had confi dentially obtained from a correspondent of a New York paper who had collected them for the exclusive use of his employ ers. They indicated that. Pennsylvania had gone for Polk. Xo other passenger couldsupplithe facts I bad in 'my poss ession. Mr. Buchanan was among the waiting throng, and I very naturally pri vately gave him , my news. I never shall forget his remark ; not let.these re- • turns be used' for any betting purpoiws ; take them to the , whig.. headquarters with my respects; and make them the common property of both partite: I promptly followed, his advice, - although what if had to say to the Whigs was not palatable. In half hour :afterwards the .:train from•the . -East brought, the fact that New York bad deplared..for the Democrats, and it was a Pleasant i . eflection that no. body had . won any money by offeribg to wager on the secret returns from' western Pennsylvania!' But all this . was - before the doctrine of "addition, division and silence," was taught and :practiced by the ; leaders of the dominant party in' . Pennsylvania.--- The men who run the affairs of the State and. nation on behalf - of Pennsylvania now act'of l a different -Mould from the sage of 'Wheatland; who would not Per mit betting upon seer4'informattoti., The politicians who have ; been running our state for years would 'not, only bpt on se cret information, but would use it as they have used it, in-the interest or frandiand stuff the ballot-bo to 'Overcome ,theaa; tnal vote of the people, which is deitto them their paid :agents-secrefly:to no tify them 'of the preciSe amount of fraud required:: But .there has beei a great change in Penniylvania 'politica in the last thirty-three years: , A eorrespendent of the Baltimore Sun states- that- a= venerable sontherner . recent Iv called on.

A catie of great interest was argued tie r fore the - Suprente Court last week. -Hon, Job Mann owned a firm in Bedford county worth $60,000; and. at his he devised his farm in trust for the edu cation of the Poor_ you_ig m. n . of Bed. fOrd - tottitty,whodesired to study fOr,the ministry,' without regard to sect or'de nomination. The will provided thatAhe court should'apPoint a' trustee Ito manage the farm. ani apply, the. Proceeds, but it gave the power of. selecting these young men to . the court. of . Bedford county.— The Supreme Court is' now pondering over the point raised by the heirs 'of Mann that the court could not, under the Jaw,. accept _the trust, because .the functions imposed by it were extra: judi cial, and that : if= the court could not dis charge the trust it' had 'no power to' dele , gate the trust :to another, because. it was a sPeciat trust and Confulence reposed ia the court'; that there existed no.creative , energy. to set, the trust.-in motion, and' therefore the trust must fall. • • • Attorney General Lear rendered a very important decisiOn-'Several days 'zince in relation : the $3,000,000 geld' (Stati) bonds; as they are, 'called.
