Governor: Pattison's sliow of sim• plieity, and small eoonomy; by footing it when he should ride, and tefusing a well ordeicti disj.lay on the occasion of his inauguration, smacks very strongly of the smallyt rind of demagoguery.

' , An*ortionmenz!bill was introduced in 7 the cr use at Harrisburg on Friday last re t - ScPptrtning the State in Congressional districts. The bill proposes to change the 15th district by making it so as to compose . the counties of Bradford, Stuquehainut; Tioga and Potter.: Of course this bill emanates from democratic sources, and' smacks strongly of gammanderin t ' r by grouping the Republican counties together andallowin' g republicans in deoreratic Coun ties no opportunity of ever seeing daylight politic:illy. Such c impOsition we Arum willnot be supported by the nuanbers Boni Bradford. While the democrats claim that the bill gives the Republicans fifteen out of the twenty eight districts, a cicise inspect,. tin discloses the tact that less' than half can be set down as reliably Repeddican. The aggregate Republican Vote of the State in the Garfield election would entitle the Republicans to seventeen members out of the twenty-eight. BO appaniormoms is fair tlutt does not concede this. One of the nice places at the Nation al or &Me Capitas is that of Chaplain as a very handsome sum is , paid;' some political preacher for' making a prayer two :or three Otates .r iong at the opening of each ( , `' morning session of the two Hows , of the' Legialature. Thewhole thinOs'Agsrded as a mere form and a goOdr'raiini legislators make it a point to wait until :the preacher gets through before going into the legislative halls, Only two mem bers of the NatiOnat Senate were in their places "TlttAiy: morning' when the Chaplain began hi prayer, but the religious portion of the day's proceed ings. went on as decorouity as if there had been kfull house. This was as it should have been, so far as concerns the devotional services, for wherever at the Nationl Ctspitol there are two Senators gathered together' there is some one who ~ n eeils •qo be prayed for. It is a bad sign, however, that of the whole seventy-six there were only two who knew their greatest need. Owing to the election nf the Speaker of the lower House of the New Jersey Legislature to preside over .the joint session for the election of a United States Senator last week,. the Senate tabled a House resolution to hold a joint session on Monday next for the purpose'of electing a State Comptroller to succeed Major Anderson, Rrpublican who now holds the position and whose term expires next week. The office can only be filled at a joint session of the two Houses ; and unless the indig , nation of the memberi of the upper House is appeased, the present incum bent will hold over another year. The election of the speaker of the House to preside over the . joint session by the Democratic plurality is Said to be without precedent in the State. Governor Pattison's course, it ,is upper 'eat,' is rapidly buflding a bridgo over the chasm which separated the Regular and Independent Republicans in Pennsylvania. Mthly of his appointments are so Indefensi blei and the eagerness of his party to grasp at all the spoils within reach is so evident, that the Independents, with the -desire to exercise the largest charity toward his ad ministration, are yet compelled to oppose n. ' Senator Stewart, 'the' anti-Cameron candidate for GOvernor last fall, aided in defeating some of Pattison's nominations thit week. ,In the debate which these. appisintments excited. in the State Senate, Chairman Cooper, of the Regular Republi-, can Committee, Used some significant gnage. • He referred to the Regulars as "fortner Stalwarbrand to the anti:Cami;.'• ion Inen loris !'former" Independents.—Tri /need!. That the Judiciary Committee of the Maine Senate should have agreed to recommend the passage of a bill re establishing the death penalty in that State is a notable and significant cir eunikance. It would seem from this that the experiment of abolishing .the death penalty has 'Ewen as unsuccessful in I%laine as it has elsewhere, and that the fear.of capital - punishment has a deterrent effect upon the criminal mind fQr, which there is no equivalent to be found.. Humanitarianism is an admi rable thing within proper limits, but it may be misdirected for the benefit _of the individual to the prejudice of the community ti -general. If we may judge by - the Democratic notions of civil service reform; says the North American, as exhibited by the new administration and State Legisla ture at Harrisbut, reforui, according to Democratic practiceimeans a slight' sprinkling of small ..,and'linimOrtant Republicans in mincii—positions itind a Hood of wei-known Dan9crats' in all other offices t 'ln plain terms, we now see that thei r idea of civil service re form is a geperal turning out of Re publicans arid a Substittition of Demo crats in their places. The struggle over the election of United States Senators _ in ,Colorado, was settled dn Saturday by - the election of Thomas I l 4 l ‘ Bowen for the full term, and H. A. Tabor to fill the existing vacancy. 'Both are Rep%Leans. The struggle for th- places of Senator Terry in Michigan, Windom, in Minnesota, and Saunders ' in Nebraska, is yet uO. settled. . These are all Republican States with Republican legislatures. The complexion of the 'Semite .politi, cally, for the 48th tOllkreSS depends upon the result of these States. `The receipts into the Treasury of the United States from cu4cons and , internal revenue for the six ' business days of last week were as follows: ; • Monday- • • • ; • • • .. -, ' ..". 41,843,821.47.

Job tells us that great men are not al ways wise, and it is quite certain that kind hearted and "liberal" men often do and say very foolish things. Bobort Collyer, a popular suulterdal preacher of New:fork ? when living in Chicago, stepped to the front? and defended vigorously open beer gardens on Sunday. Nowlin New York, be is re ported as , demanding that liquor saloons shall not be closed on Sundays, but Kept open in the interest of the Poor 1 We cer tainly hope 'that heismisreported. For the reasoning in;lhe case is too puerile for so gifted a man' s Dr. Collyer surely is. • "The rich," he says, virtually, "haie their' wine cellarlopen on Sunday in theirown homes; and can drink as they , please." And why," he wants tOknow,: "should not the liquor saloons be ikes for the poor on S days, that they may drink as they please, as well as the rich 1" The result !Would be, of rousse, a very free, Sunday, and a tor rent of free rum.,' The rich can gamble, we suppose, in their own homes,, on Sunday, and if they do not disturb the public pence; nobody will interfere. •Why should not the gambling houses 'be open on that day, is well as the liquor saloons, .for the benefit of the poor ? The rich can have their wine cellars open on , all days, election days, and holidays, mad open all night long 4 as/ well; why may not the . liquor saloons do precisely the same things Thai. -Dr. Collyer does not distinguish at 'all; between what a man may use, in his own house, and what, anoth er man may sell, openly,; in his ,IJace of -business" upon the Sabbath - day. 111 We do not imagine he thinks.. liquor saloons a Sun day necessity, to be kept open in the inter est of the poor. Nor, hard as he pleads, in this matter, for poor classep, (Sure to be made poor by thipririleye on which he in-, sists,) can we lataolo that liquor Saloons in this liberal age are to be classified as chari tabk institutions. • But why does he Complain of Sunday restriction, or Sunday prohibition in this matter. - The Sunday law, even when the most stringent, is merely a negative affair. Like the old Mosaic law' e lit tells men what theYshall not, rather than what they shall do. It compels no man to go, to church, to read the bible, to pray, or men to keep holy \ the first day of the week. It supply re quires that no man shall interfere with, or in any manner disturb, those who do wish to keep the day for worship, or rest.. The poor can drink their lager beer, or whiskey, in their holies on Sunday, as freely as the rich their wines. - In the interests of order, and morality it closes liquor saloons Upon that day. The people themselves have made the law, that they may cease from the common work and traffic of life, and unite according to their own special convictions, in the recognition and worship of God; and only those things are prohibited which would tend tO defeat these ends. Of what special . . grievance, then have the liquor dealers to complain ,when they are simply requi -' .- like all other classes of men, to obey a law made by the people for the people's good 1 Sunday is free enough now, but into what a condition of things should we soon drift with a free §unday,and absolutely free rum I Robert Collyer would be likely to preach some plain words in,lis New York pulpit if somel;ody should open a beer garden upon one side of his church, and somebody else a liquor saloonOpon another, and both would be kept in full blast every Sabbath day.
