Gold closed last Saturday in New York at
lie.
Viiginia and North Carolina held their
epublican State Conventions last Thurs
day, and followed the crowd by indorsing
Grant for re-nomination. Really, the way
the tide is running, it is no wonder the Sore
heads despair of defeating him at Philadel
phia.
A. meeting was held last week in Boston
in favor of the proposed religious •amend
ment, to the Constitution—" recognizing
God in the Constitution," as they call it:—
These superfine and crochety Christians
seem bent on keeping their hobby well air
ed; but the common sensAcf . the,whileland
is against them. Even, the so-called reli
gious portion of the Press is almost unani
mous in condemning their project.
Tliarles A. Dana has .been indicted in
Philadelphia for libeling Mr. ,Williteu
liemble, ex-State Treasurer, in an,. article
published in the New York Sun qn the Ev
ans fraud. We agree with Mr. Whitelaw
Reid, that every well-founded prosecution
for libel is a good thing for the Press, and
we think the vigorous prosecution of this
charge will be an excellent thing for Dana,
if not for the Sun. It may encourage the
editor to be a little more decent in his Jour
nali.ml lie has needed .a lessqn 'on that
point for a good while.
The meeting held in the ball of the House
of Representatives on the evening of the
16th instant, in honor of the late Professor
Morse, was a most fitting and interesting
memorial of one of earth's great benefac
tors. It was attended by the chief officers
of the Government, by large delegations
from the foreign embassies, and by many
eminent citizens, the superb hall being pack
ed with the beauty and talent of the coun
try. The addresses were eloquent tin& in
structive, as they could hardly help being
on such a theme, and there was compara
tively little of the spread-eagle, although
Sunset" Cox was one of the speakers.—
The only piece of bad taste wo notice about
the affair was a closing hymn crafted to
one W. H. Browne,:and addressed directly
to that
" Immortal mind, now in Heaven beholding
The wondrous scenes all in glory unfolding."
It was had enough to have thh3 trash sung
at such a time, but to print it in full , in tte
newspapers was simple cruelty ' to 13rowne—
with a final o---aforesaid.
The British and American counter cases
wer4 presented to the Board of Arbitration
established by the Treaty of Washington,
at Geneva, last week Monday. At the same
time the representatives of Great Britain
eubmitted a note declaring that England
will not, consent to have the indirect claim
arbitrated. On the other hand, Mr. cale4
Cushing—most excellent authority on inter
national law—says that protest is worthless,
and the arbitration must proceed. The
trouble seems to be that the English Cabi
netl dare not recede from their , position for
fear of an immediate vot of censure and
expulsion from office, wh le our own- Govfl
ernment believing itself iu the right, bind be
ing backed up by the uniflersal public opin
ion, will not withdraw oir claim for conse.
quentitil Idamages. It looks now as though
the arbitration might go on, England all the
time plotesting against the consideration of
our clam and talking buncombe for home
consu option. But the exigencies of Eng
lish politics may t limpet Mr. Gladstone to
walk out of court and declare the treaty at
lot end. Whatever the upshot of tlw !waft r
may he, it is evident England is having all
the w Oro , and furs now, while on this side
the eater everybody-is tranquil and rather
indifferent as to her course. We only led
we shall collect our damages sometime, and
we are willing,to wait.
Not the least important of the ninny po-
Valeta conventions recently held was the
National Convention of colored people at
Nevi Orleans. The platform
of
at
that gathering was a model of good sense
and moderation. It acknowledges obliga
tion to Republican legislation, and holding
'that all roads out of the Republican ,party
lead into the Democratic camp, it pledges
unswerving support to the nominees of ti e
Philadelphia Convention. It indorses the
Ailministration of President Grunt, recog
nizing his efforts in behalf of the colored
people. At the same time it expresses the
indebtedness of the colored race to Charles
Sumner for his labors in their behalf, and
their assurance of his future faithfulness to
the Republican party. It honors Vice Pres
ident Colfax for voting in favor of the civil
rights bill. Finally, it j proposes to elect'
better men to Congress to succeed the , trea
cherous Republicans who voted against that
bill. This declaration shows 'that the col
ored men, while deeply grateful to the great
dettemplens who have raised them to their
preient poOtion of influence, are not un
teindful of the fact that all their hopes for,
the future depend ujpi the continued suc
cess
of the Republican party, R, wows,
too, that they have political aenae enough go'
see—what many men supposed to belong to
a superior race seem to forfet•--that the only
MEI
road to Republican ascendency lies through
the support of the regular nominees of the
Philadelphia Convention. No/citizens have
more at stake in the political field thau-have
these colored men; they act under thepress :
ure of vital personal interests, and Ave com
mend their conclusionsito the careful cur
sideration of every true Republiejin.
An immense mass meeting to indorse the
Administration of President Grant and to
advocate his renomination was held lit Ceop;-
ertY Institute last Wednesday evening. The
demonstration has rarely been equaled in
point of numbers and genuine enthusiasm;
but it wap, chiefly retruir l ml3,lq for lake promi r ,
nence and representative Charadtef'of the
men composing it. That there should be a
great crowd collected in such a city as New
York by *the 'announcement of speeches
from men like Sickles and Henry -Wilson
and Governor Morton is a matter of course;
but that the meeting should be honored by
We. preserice'ami indorsement of such men
as William E. 'Dodge, Peter ,Cooper, Ed-
wards Pierreponf, Remy Clews, S. B. Claf
lin, A. T. Stewart, Theodore W. Dwighi,
Gen. Sigel, Henry Ward Beecher, William,
Orton, Edwin D. Morgan, S. B. Chittenden,
and a great host of New YOrk's most influ
ential and most honored citizens literally too
'numerous to belnaMed here, is not a matter
of course,,but is a fact of very great sigfi
ficiince. These! men are not
T.hay. are neither office-holders nor .office
seekera. Every, ono if them is perfectly
dependent of politics, and to them the ques-
. . ... ,
lion of the Presidency is
, a matter of,. indif 7
ference except 3o far as the party 'and the
eon try are .concerned. As true Republi-,'
can of course they are in favor of preserv
,ing the unity and ascendeticl of the party;
as shrewdbusiness men and loyal citizens
they wish to maintainithefeancleldit of
the Government, and secure the full fruits of
the late war. As men of common /sew :
they see that' the only way to ao tig 41ii , l'ii
preserve intact the organization of the Re
publican party ; i They know that Grant is"
the choice ofT4O overTheln3ing, majority of
that party; the fact is PrOdalined by every
party convention and every, State election,
They know that even his greatest,enemies
are forced to admit thatibis Administration'
has been in all essential points most success
ful, , They see that the country is prosper
ous; that the 4ises are reduced; that the
debt is being rapidly peat:a; that weAreat
peace amongst jourselves and with all the
rest of 91e world. Possibly they feel some
gratitude for Giant's past services, and some
tcOnfidencein his patriotism and good sense.'
They b,elieye in civil service reform so far
that having found a good servant; itthiiiicist
important office they propuse to keep him,
there. And act they favor Grant's re-cled

The People 'Cheated at HarrMarg.
We are informed that the bill introduced
in the House by Mr. Mitchell for the repeal
of the act cleating an additional law judge
in this district passed both houses of they
Legislathre, going through the Senate just
before the adjohrnment; but that it has nev
er reached the Governor; and is now, of
course, dead. The rules require . that each
bill, after its final passage; shall be tilessifged
back to the hohie in which it originated,
and be sent by : that house to the' Governor
for his approval., It turns out, on
that this bill was never messaged back to
the House after it had passed the Senate.—
We understand that there is a dispute be
tween the clerks of the respective houses on
this point, and it is impossible now to tell
who is to blame in the matter. But'the fact
remains that between the clerks of the two
houses•the bill!has been effectually killed.
Whether its; eath was effected inteniton
ally, or by eareletneas hardly less criminal,
we don't pretend! o say; but after we relate
one episode in i the passage of the bill, our
readers will probably be ablO to form their
own conclusions on that point. After it
had been passed by the House it was mes
saged over to the Senate 'the same evening;
and the next,morning it was found that the
bill had been torn froM the- files..and could
nowhere be found. Upon attention being
called to this little eirenmstanee, and when
it became evident that there would be trou
ble if the " Mistake" was not corrected, the
bill was again4laeed'in its proper position
on the files. We think the most charitable
will agree with us that this occurrence could ,
hardly have b'pen the result of carelessness.
What villain' Stole it we don't know; bin.
we shall take great pleasure in 'printing his
name, if we can ever learn it.p
But this tampering 'With ihe legislative
files is no new trick at Harrisburg. We
called attention to instances of it in the Leg
islature of last year a few weeks since.—
And during the late session a bill , was pre
sented to the Cloverttor for appreval, havingl
upon it all the marks of having passed both
houses, when in.fact it had passed but one
,of them. Fortunately ii was discovered
and recalled by resolution before it, had re :
eeived the Executive signatiiie.
But what assurance have we that other
so-called laws:h e not been ,paeeed in the'
-same expedition's - fiishion, or 'strangled in
the same swan:ll4y manner after actual pas
sage as the act first above, mentioned? 'gone !
whatever. And not least singtitir thing
about all this' ontrageoud' business is that_
neither house has befaikAble tq diecoveF,npd

tampered with the dearest right: of a 'Aefi:
peuple,—who httd,t usurped the very spvci,-
vignty of the Conlinenwealth.. The aut

the indifference ff of a Legislature Which al

tice is ten-fohl ritore alarming.

OUR WASHIN9TON LETTER. ,

mionisu nivusneuerxols.
Mr. Haneocli, of Texas, has proposed in
the House a reisolution authorizing the Pres
ident to appoint a commission ofAlaree per
sons to investigate the extent and chartieter
of depredations corm:pitted
,on the Mexican
border. This 'should be done; and also the
question of hOw far, if at all, 'out; own peo
ple have depredated on the Mexicans. This
subject is one of general interest to the coun
try, and the modest sum of $6,000 proposed
to be appropriatedjor this purpose Will be
quite as likely ! to(yield a wholesome result.,
as some more expensive investigOorts that
hive engaged most of the time of the pres
ent session Of Congress. The Mexican ban
dits are as bad perhaps as any of
.that order
of gentry, and if 'there be not: sufficient
itoNitet 'in the disorganized Government of
Mexico, it having disclaimed all authority
for the outrages chirged as having taklen
place on the Texas border, our Government
should, with their consent, visit condf,gn
punishment upon the muideroushordes,that
are alleged to be . making frequent*aida up
on our territory. What we first want are
the Acts in the definite .form of testimony

Senators and Representatives, and many
other distinguished men, turned the whole
power of his Administration agal st the
party whose misplaced confidence ad in
trusted it into his hands, it was fash, Doable
for those who supported him to c 'claim:
"Theßeptblican party having fulfl led its

thrown by this threatening sece ion, it
+Came out of 'the contest stronger a nd more
powerful than before.

nation and its interests, to those great prin

Col. Jordan cared netlilngfor a Mere cotitz,

inevitable, andllid it; by dedining to allow
the use of his name. BubSequently sundry
friends of Hartranft placed Mr. Jordan' in
nomination for Supreme Judge, out of an
appreciation of his strength, character and
abilities, and supported himin good faith.
Mr. Jordan had 'no knowledge of this. His
own friends didl not 'even co-operate 'in the
movement; not regarding him as a candidate
for that office, which ho was not. • We were
on the ground,- had ample opportunities to

whereof we affirm.
Pennsylvania contains 'no' more , honest
