A Word of Caution to the Contributors
to Southern Relief

WE would drop word of caution TO our cti-
zens in making contributions for the relief of
the Southern poor If they would avoid
being imposed upon, and the danger of hav-
ing their contributions misapplied or appro-
priated to personal ends, let them make their
donations directly TO some Ueli-Iaown and resDon-
SiJle organization, and aUoid putting their money
into the hands of special agents, no matter ho,o
,ceU recommended. No safer method can be
devised than to put contributions directly in
charge of the Bureau for Freedmen and Refu-
gees, of which that noble Christian patriot
and soldier, Maior-General Howard, is the
head. It's agents are scattered all over the
South, are well acquainted with the circum-
stances of the people in the various localities
can be depended upon to make wise and
impartial distribution of the benefactions COM
mitted to their trust, and will do the work
free of charge, as they are paid by the Gov
ernment.
The American Union Commission, of this
city, of which Samuel V. Merrick is President,
offers to take charge of the distribution of
funds for the relief of the South. This is a
safe and reliable organization, composed of our
own citizens, and having excellent facilities
for doing the proposed work.
We drop this word of caution, because
whenever the community is aroused to give
by the spectacle of suffering on a large scale,
there are always a greedy brood of cormorants
who make their appearance, collect funds, and
pocket the proceeds. We saw something of
this some six or eight years ago, when contri-
buttons were made to the starving poor of
Kansas. If the benevolent would have their
contributions reach the class for whom they
are designed, let them contribute solely
through established and responsible agencies.
Avoid giving money to private individuals,
trusting to their honor and judgment for
proper application of it.

The Growth of Our City.


Mr.. PARTON, in recent number of the atlantic
Monthly, tells the wonders of Chicago-a city
built in thirty years, and which now bids fair
to rival all her great sisters of the Old or New
World. We read with interest the descrip
tion of its size, and have heard Philadelphians
express wonder at what am enormous city it
must be. By reading that one article many
lifelong residents in our midst are made more
familiar with the new metropolis of the North
west than they are with their native munich
pality Most of our readers do not know what
an enormous affair the City of Brotherly Love
really is. They know that part bounded by
a few squares north Of Market and extending
a few squares south; they know there is a
place called Kensington and another called
Richmond, and that they are north of Market
street, and with that simple idea they are
satisfied. Yet within few years, quietly and
without ostentation, the limits of the built-up
portion of our city have been gradually ex-
tending themselves. While the more wealthy
portion of the inhabitants are going towards
the west, and locating themselves towards the
Schuylkill, the artisans and mechanics have
and south, and, in imitation of their opulent
neighbOrs, leaving the central part of the
Delaware neighbOrhoOd of the municipality to
the business and turmoil of money-making.
If any one wants to become aware of the i'm
mense number of wOrkmen who daily 90 so
lar north as to have their resting place lost in
a maze of streets whose names are utterly I'M
known to our readers, let him walk down any
street east of Seventh, about six o'clock in the
evening Of any day in the week. 1t would
seem as though one long procession was
marching TO the north. A continuous stream
| of laborers, iiremen, mechanics, and all those
who are engaged in manual labor, pours out of
all these streets towards Kensngton and Rich
mond. In those localities which lie along the
banks OF the Delaware, which are numbered
differently from the rest of the city, are located
small, neat houses suitable for the residences
OF families; and here this long line finds a
home. We have often heard it asked, Where
do our workingmen live Let any who desire
| to know face these crowds, and they will find
in what direction the growth of small houses
is tending.
While the rendezvous OF many of our bone
and sinew are to the north, the south OF Phila-
delphia is also extending itself. The accept
ance OF League Island will necesstate the cree
tion OF little village of homes for the work
men when the Navy Yard is removed there.
While commerceis also tending in that direc-
tion, we shall soon see the day when from the
Island to the present limits of the city will
be continuous line of residences, warehouses,
and the like We are all aware of the growth
of Chicago, and are familiar with the constant
trumpetings OF New York. Let us turn to our
own city, and see how she is extending herself.
Evidently fitted by position to be the largest
city of America, with no crampsd-up space,
with boundaries marked by nature, all that

Law Reforms.

THERE is a bill now before our Legislature
allowing interested parties to testify in their
own suits. This is measure of legal reform
already adopted in many of the States of the
Union, and probably destined to prevail in all.
The old assumption that the right way to get
at the truth is to exclude the very parties who
know the most about it, is being very gene
rally abandoned. The theory now is that it is
better to let all the facts in the case be brought
out. The fact that party is interested may
90 to affect the credibility of his testimony,
but ought not to exclude it. Interested par
ties undoubtedly would be tempted to testify
as favorably as possible for themselves, and
in some cases might even commit downright
perjury; but both sides would be heard and
it is difficult matter for a false witness to
stand the test of a skilful and searching cross
examination. We have no doubt that in
great majority of instances jury, after hear
ing the testimony of the parties interested, in
connection with the other testimony, would
be enabled to more justly find verdict accord
ing to the real merits in any given case than
they would without the testimony of such
parties.
In many instances, to deprive man Of the
right of testifying in his own case is to de-
prive HIM of justice altogether. The facts
may be known only to the parties themselves.
What propriety in such cases can there be in
preventing them from testifying?
We believe that the allowing of parties to
testify in their own cases, and the allowing of
verdicts to be found by two-thirds Of a jury,
would be two reforms which would go great
way in securing a better administration of
Justice throughout the country. We regard
the latter as quite as important as the former.
A single corrupt juryman can now defeat the
ends of Justice in any case. If he do not pre-
vent the finding of any verdict at all, he can
force the finding of such an one as shall ac-
commodate his notions rather than the ends
of Justice. In vast majority of instances,
we believe that verdict found 10y eight jurors
out of twelve would conform more nearly to
the law and the facts OF the case than unani-
nous verdict of the twelve.

A RITUAmsrlc SPEcMEN.-The last proceed
ing of the New York Ritualists We're conducted
somewhat as follows,-At eight in the even
ing, the clergy, three in number, entered the
church, accompanied by the chorsters, one
of the latter having a large gilded cross of
black walnut. A Lenten hymn was sung as
professional, after which the rector knelt at
the foot-stool, and chanted the Litany. The
sermon followed, the preacher preceding it 10y
marking himself with the sign of the cross,
and repeating an invocation to the Trinity,
after the manner of the Church of Rome. The
performance was closed by chanting the
lfSerere, ard the special Collects for Ash,
Wednesday.

MANUFACTURING HoPE.-The New York
World occupies half column with list of
the various towns in New Hampshire in
which the Democracy have achieved gains.
Most the towns indicate an increase of from
two to ten Of their inhabitants. From these
astonishing changes the World congratulates
itself that the prospects of the Democracy look
bright. The radicals have swept the entire
State, carrying all their candidates, and
actually show an increase in the total vote
polled, the causes for the greater increase
of the Democracy being found in the fact that
the friends of a certain defeated candidate
for the Republican nomination omitted to
vote for his successful competitor. If the
Democratic party shows no greater signs of re-
turning life than that evinced in the Granite
State, we think it is dead beyond resurrection.
