Dr. Huxizr, of 8t Paula formed Episcopal Church, in & germon nx?o: * Newspapers,” preached lagt ovening, found much tlat was good to say about the #ecular press of the day, and more especially that of Chicago, which he recognizes as a valuablo aid to the Christian ministry in tho dissaminstion of good thought and {n the Teprobatioy and prevention of bad deeds, On the subject of Sunday papers he took tho broad and intelligent view that an assault upon the publishers fnvolved an sssault upon the Christian and Gob-fearing pablic of Clicago, in response to whose demand the Bunday paper is printed. Tho 2 faot that for several years past certain of 1 for the benofit of abankrupt railroad and n tho clergvmen of the city have periodically pointed ont the sinfulness of buying, read. ing, or advertising in the Sunday papers, together with the fact that the patrouago has stendily increased, proves tlat a vast pre. ponderance of the people of Chicago agree with the Rev, Dr, Hunrea in recognizing in the pross a powerfol moral agent which deserves support. e The newly-erected Dioceses of Quincy and Springfield, in this State, have the worst of luck in their effort to equip thomselves with Bishops. First, tha Rev. Dr. Hanuts disap- pointed the Quinoy people, and now the Rov. Prof. Geonor Fox Sgruous declines the Bishoprie of Springfield after the requi. sito majority of Standing Committees and Bishops have consented to his conseoration, It will bo remembered that *‘ consent” was oneo rofused on the occasion of Dr. Bey. woun's election na the successor of Bishop ‘Warrznousz, and it is presumad that hisdelay in making known his intentions with refer- ence to tho Quincy eloction was tho result of a desire for an opportunity to demonstrate that he conld be a Bishop if ho wanted to, Dr. SBexxoun's vindication by thia process is doubtless very gratifying to himself, but the disappointed church-people of Quincy Diocese con bardly be expected to get on. thusiastic overit. The murdoer of the Earl of Larrarvt is partly explained by tho statemont that tho Tonant law of Ulster does not oxtend to the sonthern counties of Ireland, Though vari- ons attempts have been mado to give its pro- visions goneral effost, none of them haa suc- ceeded. Ils most important provision, In accordanco with which the landlord is re- quired to pay for improvements made by his tenants before eovicting them, has boen habitually disregarded on the Lerrnnt estata. Obly o short time beforo his death he ap- penled from o verdict of £337 10s given against him, nccording to the Ulster custom, 83 tho valuo of tho tonant-right in a farm from which ho had efocted a family who had held it for throo generations. e was, indeed, a ermel and rapacions landlord, aud his loss will be mourned by fow of his tenants, nlthough the bLotter portion of them, no doubt, will deeply rogrot the manner of his death, Ho was mot only odious for his exactions in busiuess relations, but for his porsonal vicos, Tho New York Z'imes, which evidantly has good anthority to spaak {from, says of him: *'As he rose-in richos, ho foll in roputation, and there was not in the whole country a man moro despised by thoso of his own rank, moro loathed by thosa be- low it. Ilis arbitrariness and want of kindly cousideration were by no means the worst of his offonses in the oyes of his dopendenta, He farther took advantage of thelr helplesa- ness to make it subsorvient to his own gross immorality, and fathors and brothers knew that tho compliance of those dearost to them was the price which must bo paid for n roof over their heads.” Bympathy or pity ox- ponded upon tho fato of such s man would ‘ba worse than usaless. ——— THE IMBECILITY OF CONGRESS. If it wero the intention of the two Houses of Congress to desorve the contempt of the country, thoy conld not labor more success- fully to that end tban they have dono for soveral wecks, and in fact ainco the session began. Tho Bilver bill was forced upon the congideration of Congress by the imperions domand of the wholo people; that demand was too strong for even the idle, demngog- ical, snbsidy-selling Congress to resist, Out- side of tho Silver bill, howaver, Congross hag given no attention to business, and has ovinced no purposa to do anything not pajd for, Tho only business which is vigilantly attended to, zealously watohed, and indus- triously and ably championed, are the swindling bills prepared by the snbsidy mob, and pressed with o fidelity that ar. gues well for the liborality of the pay- maater, The Pacific Railroad Ring, which now owes the Government over $90,000,000, ond will owe in 1900 $160,000,000, has its champions and backers so well trained in the Scnate that it 1s impossiblo tobring that body to a vota upon the bill compelling thoso companios to begin payment of what thoy owe. The people of tho United States might well rejoico if they could recognizo among their Bonators an equal nwmber of men nctuated by n zeal, displaying an abill. ty, and practicing the same sleopless vigi- Innce, that are never wanting in the interest of tho railroad comphnies who defiantly ro- fuse o account with tho Government. In the Housa thore is a bill passod by the Sonate providing for the issus of & popular loan in sums of #25, and paynble in coin or greonbacks, Against this bill aro arrayed the rotten, bankrupt, and swindling eavings and other banks of tho country, and the Loan bill is buricd in committes, For the liko reason, and st the Inatance of the same corrupt f{nterost, the House refuses (o act upon tho Fostal Bavings Dank bllls, or any other practical and honeat logialation, ‘The Tarif bill, which has for its purpose encoursgement and aid to the incresse of American manufsctures and {heir large export to other countrios, cannot got & hear- ing, though the House is willing to devote throo days to » disgracefal and humiliating exposure of a profligate system of doorkeep- iug, or willing to givo a week to the harle- quinism and buffooneries incidontal to Dxw Burren's struggles to get back into the Dem. ocratio party, The House, as well as the Benato, seoms to be laboring not to do sny- thing, except to keep the subeidy schemes in that position that, 1n the lsat hours of the sassion, thoy may be hurried through and passed, possibly without making s record of the yess and nays. 'The Committoss are packed to obstruct and defost, mot to expedits, honest and legitimata log- iglation. In the nesantime, the agents and atlorneys, male and female, of the spplicants for special legislation swarm on tho floors and in the committee- rooms plying thoir vocation with the earnest~ ness of laborors in harvest time. If the American poople conld have a clear and thorough conception of the Iguorance, im. becility, corruption, and profligacy of Con. greas, colleotively, & resort to the Crom. wellian process of adjournment wounld not be cousidered altoguther unmerited or out of place, notwithstanding ita illegality, Nothing is s0 demoralizing to a logislative body as the introduction of special legislation for which the beneficlaries are willing to pay liberally, Thbere are *‘claims” which have uot the alightest pretense of legal forco and a3 little equity now pending, which ask from two hundred to four hundred millions of dollars. The Pacifio railroads are asking logislation to release them from ever paying & dollar of the one hundred and Hifty mill. iona of dollars they will ultimately owe the Government; then thero is the Hcorr sub- sidy, that the Government incur s liability of ono bundred and 120ro wmillions o dollars bankrpt construction company ; then there oro the applications for aunual subsidies for steamships on the Pacifio and on the Atlan- tic, and both Honses of Congrass adjourned over a day to go to Pennaylvania to sco the launching of one of tho steamships which is to bo subsidized. All these mons. ures are inherently corrupt, Every dollar voted for them is a dishonest gratunity. Tho applicants know it, and no member of Congress {s so ignorant na not to know they ara dishonest, Of conrse thoy ars to be paid for; those who ask for them are willing and oxpect to pay fopithem; they donot nsk a Benator or Reprosontative to vota for them without expeeting to pay for the vote ; and the country may safsly nssume thnt every man who votes for ono of these bills reccivos a compensation for his vote, which voto means that he be paid from the Trensury a cortain sum of monoy for betray- ing his constituents and his country. Bo long as mensures of this kind are on the legislative calondars, so long ns committees are packed to promote and forward schemen of this character, so long ns all logislation s madae subordinato to these schemes of public plunder, so fong will Congress remain the domornlized, imbecilo, and negligent body it hos shown itself to be. Tho Appropristion bills are even kept back, in order to give the subsidy mnnagera time to matars their schemes, and Congress remains fncapable of legislation and devoted to buffoonory and demngogism that are positively disgraceful. P e, AROTHER DEAD DOURKEEPER. Thers is a heap of trouble on the Demo- cratic Congressman's mind, growingout of tho difficulty of getting a Doorkeaper who can keop a door. It commenced with Frrz- noan, who was *“a biger man than old Gnavt,” It has oulminnted with poor ofd Mr. Porx, who has been mado the scapogont of Democratio incompotency and corruption, though ho was ‘‘a biger man™ than Firz- nuen, Mr. TnoupsoN now keeps the door tempornrily, and is ‘‘n biger man® than aither Frrzuvan or Porx, bocause ho is both Sergeant-at-Arms and Doorkeoper ; but even ho holds on to tho knob with desperate grip, not knowing what minute ho too may loso his hoad. 8o far as we can see, the late Doorkeeper whas o worthy, unoffenditg old gentloman, a8 good a Domoorat as any of those on the floor, bettor than Bex Burees, who has just been taken into the Bourbon bowom, and with o clear personal record until he was forced to carry out tho Dsmoeratic policy. Ho foil into very badcompany, and was con- sequently rained. On ono side ho was be- 8ot with Dewocratic Congressmen, who ad- vised him to do all sorts of things ho ought not to havo done, and on the other side he was im- portuned and hounded by a mob of place-soekors, Ho had to feod tho wholo Democratio party outside of tho Houso and inelde, and that, too, st a time when it was 8o voraciously hungry that it threatoned to eat up door, Doorkeoper, and all. The poor man was driven to distraction with the pros- saro of Democratic polioy on the ono hand and the howls of the bungry mob on the other. Ile could not satiafy everybody, and in trying to bestride two stools ot once he wont to the ground, No fanlt can bo found with his industry, for he crowded up the pay-roll with more namoa than it haa over Liad bofore, but ho did not know how to dis- tribute tho patronage whora it would do the most good. Hu made blunders right and loft. He was guilty of sins of omlssion and commission. Tho officos woro distributed so racklesaly ;that hosts of his Demoaratic friends were not roprosonted gt all, while others of tho party corrupted the poor old man, ho all tho while hugging the delusion to his breast that ha was carrying out the Domo- cratio policy., 'Then, having corrupted their officor, having made bim what ho was, they turned bim out in disgrace, aud a menner, moro contemptiblo act nover was porformed by the demogogues and corruptionists who ropresent the polioy their victim sought to carry out. Ilis fatlt was in not knowing how to satisfy the domands of ono faation his misfortuno was in bolng corrupted by tho other. Tho long discussion over the Iate Door- kooper devoloped somo interesting facts relative to the Doorkeoper's roll of cripplod and disabled soldiers. ‘Chore were only four- teen positions on this roll, and tho Door- keopar lad the whola country to draw from, and yetho could not keep it full, although the Democratio delegations raked their con. atituencies through with fine-tooth combs, huanting for cripplod Democratio soldiers, My, Foye mercilessly cautorized the Democ- racy on this point, aa will bo scon by some extraots, o called tho roll. The first man was Mr, IoLt, of Massachusetts, who was rocommended by the New England Dento- eratic delogation. Ho had gworn in the Committoo thot he waa in the service throo yoars ad s soldier; upon the cross-oxamina- tion i sppearad that he had nover boen in active servico at all, but belonged to an inde- pendent compeny in Boston, whatevor that is. Mr, Faye commented ns follows IloLy, to-day, 1s ln_tho employ of the Demo- cralic party of this Houss, notwithstanding that he committed, 1nspirit at any rate, perjury; amd evary man of that Commitiee, and’ dvery man in this louse, knowse that in spirit he committed per- Jury. When he was put upon that roll ho elinee decelved the membara from Conuecticut and New liampshire, or alse ho decelved Mr. Porx, and thus got bimself put on tha woldlera' rotl, '1u it wanh{‘:l the Dausocratic party 1o kcep that man from that time to thie lu the employ of the lfouset le it New England Domacracy 1o doso?

Il not march through Coventry with them, that is flat.” There is but ono reasonable courso left for tho Democratio mafority to pursus, Let them oppoint n Bouthern Doorkeoper with instructions to bestow his patronage upon crippled and disablod Confederates. There wore no Republicans in that army. JOHN B, HAWLEY'S OPPORTUNITY, While it i truo that the course of empirs has in all history boon toward tho Wost, it is oqually true that tho scoptre of real powor has traveled moro slowly, Tho men of the East contond against destiny, and, for a time, by tho aid of groater cunning and largor exporionce, and sometimes by tho avts of chicanery, achieve partial success in post- poning the inevitable. Thus for somo years tho sent of real empiro in this country has boon at loast two days' journoy west of Now Englond and Now York, but the sceptro of power has novertholess romained in the hands of the men of those sections. Through {lio strange fortune of politics and war, the Wost has, sinca 1860, filled the Presidential office ; but this circumstance has not doprived tho men of the East of the control of tho main détails of administration. They bave furnished tho obief Cabinet officers, tho heads of Departments, and tho Chairmen of nenrly oll important Congresalonal committoes. The scoptro of power hns rempined with the moen of the Eaat. As the Sonth formerly controlled tho destinies of the country largely by resson of tho superior skill of its politicians, achioved tmainly by the experionce derived from longor offico tenuros, 5o, since 1860, the East has shapod logielation and coustrued and gon. trolled tho oxocution of the laws bocause of the failuro of the Wost to maka the most of its strongth. ¢ There aro indications that the peoplo of tho Wast are becoming sensibla of thalr real power, and that thoy aro disposed to exercise it to tho fullost oxtant, The firat distinet as- sartion of this sensibilily and purpose was shown fu the position assumed by the rapre- sentatives of the Wost on the subjoct of the remonotization of silver. Standing shouldor to shouldor, rolidly, in support of tho moasure, thoy wereindlfforont aliketo taunts of ignorance and dishonesty, and threats of porsecution. Thoy hind the courage of their convictions. To tho ineults heaped upon them and thelr constituencios they made no rotort; but, strong in the justics of their cnuse, calmly stood their ground, and so doubly won the victory achieved. Thero is another contest now pending against a groat obuso of administration, in fraud of tho rights of honest men every- where, but which is cspocially opprossive to tho Wost. Wo allnde to tho offorts of Weat- orn importors to induco tho Sccrotary of the Troasury to purify tho customs sorvico at tho port of Now York. Thia contest was in. sugurated by the oustoms officers of Chi- cago, and is still being proscouted hera, To the contest Tme Tarouns has, from tha start, givon the most hearty, earnest support, and it will continue #0 to support it until the cause is won or hopelessly lost, Rightly un. deratood, thero fa but one sido to the pend- ing controveray; for At {s disgraceful to as- samo that, where the question {s whether a band of thieves who have been long fation- ing off the revonues of the Governmont shall be dislodged from thelr corrapt hold and puns ished, any respoctable party can be organized on tho side of tho defonse, An effort has boon made, howevor, to distract atton- tion from tho rcal ton false issue, It has been cunningly inslsted that the contost ogoinat the dishonost importers of New York is a soctional one, evoked by a fecling of animosity among the peoplo of the West toward the poople of the East. In this way it has been sought to poison the mind of the Bocrotary of tho Treasury—a Western man —ogoinst the Woeatern men who urge the prosecution of the roform. Dat whils this assumption that tho contest against thiovos is a sectional ono is utterly fraudulent and false, still there is reason to fear that almost ita entire support must come from a single section of the country, ‘The firat atterapt on the part of asubordinate of Bocrotary BneaMaN to poison his mind sgainst tho initial step of the contest—the Investigation of Mosars, Mereorrm, Bino. usy, and Hrmoa—bas utterly failed. Mr. BnxaMax says to Mr, Collsctor Baxras *1 hope you will press tho investigation at Ohi- cago, and mako it a4 thorough as possible.” Mr, Suxnaaw can havo no doubt of the exist. onco of the frands in the New York Custom.

In his communication tho Seccretary says: Iam of tho oMnfon that it ls not advisable to make the metrical syatom of welghts and measures obligatory in any transactions at present, Tho Inyw now legafizesand pormita that aystem to bo adopted 1n all cascs with tho consent of the partios, While tho metrical system is undoubtediy the moro ner- fect thaory, tho old system of weights and meastres is_so ingratted upon the busitiess habits of our follow-citizens that the new system should not be adopted until it is woll understood and acquiesced in by tho body of the peoole. I think prest con- fusion, many Inconveniencos, and much ltigation would arise from its haety adoption. Congress might properly. on any revision of the tarlff, sdopt this system, staling in tho law, however, the equivalents of the old in themetrical systym, but oven this change wonld creato somo embarrass. ‘ment, uad is of doubiful utility. "This schome is pushed somathing nftor the manner of tho scientific gentlomen who urged the demonotization of silver, and it would be well that no bill changing tho system of wolghts and measures be adopted by Congress without first iuforming the country of it, and then even considering whether thore s nuy thing to be gained by it. In oxplanation of what the proposed changa is, the motrio system may bo thus briefly stated: Tho base of the metric system ig tha moter, oqual [n longth to about 39,4 inches, which {s subdivided and multiplied by 10,— as the dollar ia divided into 10 dimes, or 100 conts, sand s tho tonth part of an eagle. ‘Tho millimoter is one-thousandth part of a meter, 25 of those divisions being nearly oqual to ona inch. The kilometor, or 1,000 moters, is about § of a milo. Thedocomoter, or ono.tenth part of & moter, is nearly equsl to 4 inches. A measure of capneity ons docimetor in length, breadth, and thick. noss (internal dimensions) ia called a litor, nearly equal to onoquart. This moasure of wator woighs nbont 2.2 pounds, and is called akilogram, The gram fs one thousandth part of a kilogram, being tho walight of a cuba of water, the side of which is ono conti« meotor, or the hundredth part of a motor, Tho following sentence comprises the ontire motrio systom. **Moasuro nll longths in metors, all capacities in liters, all weights in grams, using decimal fractions only; and saying dooo for tonth, contl for hundredth, milli for thousandth, doka for ten, hokto for hundred, kilo for thousand, and myria for ten thousand,* 3 The Becrotary of the Tréasury also com. municated to tho House tha lettors of several oxperts on tho same subject. Prof, Hainn writeas It has svor been the practica of Anglo-Sazon peopla to maka laws in cunlurmh{ 1o customs, and. 1ot 10 creato customs by compulsory laws, ‘It is indeed diticnlt to say how an obligatory statute could bo exacuted u this connection.

Bat this sssumption is perhaps unwarranted by the facts, and tho relative or comparstive merits of the two systems are open to a wide difference of opinfon, and |t is poasible that, of the two, our own systom, all things considered, is the better. ‘The press censorship recently cstablished in India does not arguc well for the loyalty of the patlyes. The bill provides that whenever any Hindoo journal prints a seditious article, the publisher may be placed under heavy boods not. to repeat the offense or he may be compelled to submit In the future to a censorship overall articles before published. The ban extends to papers prioted in the versacylar, which are sald to contaln many dangerous articles that are per- ceptible oply to those acqualnted with the dis- lsct {n which they are written.
