suspended in this State for nearly four years, and
and martial law was declared TO be in force and
military rule obtained sway. whilst crime COM
mitted at noon day. enjoyed immunity from pun
shment and rights of life. liberty and property
were without the protection of law. And, where
as armed strife in our land has ceased by the
termination of said war, civil authority has been
so far restored in our State as partially to have
secured the blessings of peace. public tranquility,
law and order 20 our people. A civil government
having been instituted, and most Of its functional

THE CHEsNUr STREET BRmGE.-Some
enterprising individuals, laboring under
desire merely to establish point of law rela-
tive TO the bridging Of stream, have seen ct
to bring before the Supreme Court Of the
United States a suit against the erection Of
the Chestnut Street Bridge. The wish to
settle a legal technicality is laudable one,
end the complainants deserve credit for the
effort; for it is impossible for us to impute to
them any other motive than a professional
curiosity. No one could be so blind TO the
signs OF the times, especially to the signs OF
the Chestnut Street Bridge, to anticipate that
1t would be concluded in the lifetime of any
man now living. For all practical purposes
it is the same as il restrained by an Injunction;
what is denied by law is granted by the
energetic contractor, and he can therefore
view the suit and its decision as merely mat
teIs Of legal interest.
Yesterday the opinion Of the Court was
read by Justice WAYNE. 1t amounted to a
declaration that the Supreme Court had no
jurisdiction in the premises, and that the case
comes legitimately under the control of the
Supreme Court of Pennsylvania. The injunc-
tiOn prayed for, therefore, was refused, and
the case decided in favor Of the continuance
of the bridge. 1t is probable that the reason
why the work has progressed so slowly was
for the tear that the whole proceeding would
be declared illegal We are willing to take it
for granted that such is the excuse. There
is now, however, no impediment to prevent
Its completion with the present century. We
would make suggestion that the efforts of
the workmen be so stimulated, that should the
progress of the construction not be unseen
ingly interrupted, that when we celebrate the
termination of the fourth centennial anniver-
sary of the settlement of Pennsylvania, in
1887, the bridge could be chrstened at the
same time. We would not hasten the work
so as to injure the construction, but If not
incompatible with durability, that the termi-
nation be secured by the date we suggest
In COUNCILS last Thursday, communi-
cation was received from HENRY Buckley,
Offering TO clean the streets Of Philadelphia,
remove the ashes and garbage, and to clean
the inlets, for the sum of ninety-fve thousand
| dollars per annum. A resolution to award
the contract to Mr. Buckley was referred to
! the JOINT special committee on the subject.
Should the offer be accepted, 1t would be a
saving to the city OF nearly hundred thou
sand dollars. Although we do not lnow that
the contract can be well executed under such
an appropriation, we can say that the streets
cannot be in worse condition than they are
under the present regime. Any change must
| be for the better, and if a sum as large as that
saved by giving to HENRY Buckley the con-
tract can be acquired, then let it be given
by all means. Where all is to be gained
and nothing lost there need be no hesitation.

Hero we may ns well meet an objection. IL may
be-it has beon said. tf the Sabbath was a binding
moral law from tho beginning OF mankind, as
Luther and Calvin tellus Il is strange that we ind
scarcely any notice OF It's observance for 50 many
hundred years. Surely lift had been a moral law,
binding upon all mankind, more frequent notices OF
IL must have occurred during tho twenty-nTe con-
turies from Adam TO Moses. This rs plausible, but
not solid. For, first, just noted, the history Is
very brief; and we have two notable instances
of Ssbbato observance. Secondly. The patriarchs
Noah, Abraham Isaac, and Jacob were in the habit
OF erecting their affairs and Of calling upon the name
Of the Lord SEQ Genesis Will 20, xii, T. xxi, 8,
xxxv, 1-3. Now calling the name of tho Lord is
description of public worship; and pu 0 10 worship
implies publication of the time and pace--,t in.
wolves conventional argument; and the presumption
Is strong that these days OF pubic worship were che
same observed from the beGnninR-the haliowed
Sabbath day. But my third and chief refutation OF
this objection lie, in the fact that it negation.
There is no record du authoritative that Moses
wife was back woman; therefore she was not
black, she was only ''an Ethiopian woman" There
is no record that Abram forded the Buphrates;
therefore no did not ford that river. There is
evidence that he ferrIed ii therefore he did
not GLOSS 1t at ALL Let us apply this reasoning IN
another case. From the days Of Cam (Gen. w, III
to the food there is but mention made OF wines
(Gen. iV 10l; therefore men had no wines for six-
teen centuries. From the sacrifices of Abel and
Cam to Noah, no sacrifices are mentioned in the
cords and so from Noah to Abraham; therefore the
divine inst uon of sacrifice was utterly neglected
for sixteen centuries and again for four centuries
Again, mo SPECIAL instance of the practice Of CIR
oumcision is recorded as having occurred from the
settlement OF the Hebrews IN Canaan to the time OF
Christ" princeton Rev, October, 1857 There
fore for nearly fifteen centuries the sacred symbol
and seal of Abraham's covenant was lost and IL
nored! On the contrary tho brief notices above OF
the law of sacred rest just such the brief his
tory would reasonably be expected to give.

Trade with the Sonth.

THOSE OF our business men who have
recently been taking upon themselves the
task of raising the necessary capital to estab-
lish steamship communication between this
city and several Southern ports, and those,
also, who have literally subscribed to the
required fund, certainly deserve the cordial
thanks OF this community. 1t is by no means
an agreeable labor to collect subscriptions for
a private or public enterprise Of any kind,
nor has it ever been here light and easy
labor to discharge. Our people are not as
wide awake to their industrial and CONNER
cial interests as are those of New York and
Boston, or, at this time, even Baltimore; and
it needs great deal of stirring up OF the
dry bones among us to push steamship pro-
ect, especially, to successful result But
there are, just now, peculiarly powerful
motives and inducements to stimulate our
manufacturers and merchants to unprece-
dented efforts to build up our maritime trade,
and particularly that with the cities on our
Southern seaboard.
The present value and prospective growth
Of that trade cannot be overesLmated. The
South has not only great deal to buy from
the North, but great deal to sell to the North
in return. And this section is likely TO be
very largely prohted in both ways. That ex-
tensive district of country which was the seat
and theatre of the late Rebellion found ITSELF at
the close of the war in an exceedingly enfeebled
and exhausted condition. Its industry was sus.
pended, its commerce Interrupted, it's rail.
ways and other internal Improvements seri
ously damaged and kept out of repair, whllC
its entire people were reduced to extreme
destitution of all the luxuries, and even yer!
many of the necessaries, OF life. There is
therefore, in that quarter Of the Union vas
