An Importau. wosk In Congress.

An Important Wcek In Congress-.
A week Of steady industry on the part OF
both houses Of Congress has just closed.
During yesterday, in the Senate, Mr.. Chandler
made speech on his own plan for restoring
American commerce. He made some excel
lent suggestions, considering that he lives as far
in the backwoods as Michigan, and is usually
given to tho Incorporate use of buncombe IN
his speeches. He favored drawbacks and
took the broad ground that the Clyde builders
knew more about the business Of building iron
ships than we did, and that iron steamships
were already doing the carrying business OF
the world.
In the House q discussion ensued on
general bill for giving pensions to the sur
viving soldiers and sailors of 1912, tho debata-
BILE point being motion made by Mr. Winans,
and favored by Messrs. Bingham and Butler,
to strike out clause excepting those who
gave aid and comfort to the rebellion. The
bill was finally passed without striking out the
clause. The bill to reduce internal taxation
was then considered in Committee Of the
Whole. The sale Of gold coin through clear
ing house was taxed one-twentieth of one per
cent additional, and the tax on gambling opera
tions in Wall street was doubled.
Altogether the week has been one of the
most important in many sessions of Congress-
Both houses seem to have devoted themselves
untiringly to the transaction of business, and
the business transacted has been rather above
the average character Of latter day Congress
sional transactions. The Fifteenth Amend
ment bill has been passed in both houses and
ranks first in importance, not only on its in
trinsc merits,, but by virtue of having already
reached the midway dignity Of awaiting the
signature of the President. The Legislative
Appropriation bill, one of the most important
routine fIieas;,.l a5, was passed IN the Senate,
with several sensible amendments, one Of
which increases the salary of the Justices of
the Supreme Court. The bill for a uniform
system Of naturalization has been reported in the
Senate and will probably soon come up for con-
sderation, and Mr.. Chandlers shipping interest
bill is already before that body. In the House
the Diplomatic Appropriation bill, another
passed; the Internal Tax bill is fairly under
way; Mr.. Lynchs Shipping bill has been
steadily discussed, and the Cuban question,
called up incidentally, has received a salutary
endorsement by both political parties in the
House, and is in fair way of solution as soon
as it is brought more formally before it.
Against this record Of industry and zeal we
have nothing more serious to place on the
Senate account than the average display Of
buncombe, but in the House the zeal and in
dustry is pretty nearly balanced by the
passage of an infamous land grabbing bill
and at least two displays of Incorporate dis
cussion. The weeks record, however, shows
that both houses are anxious to make up for
lost time, and we are inclined to deal leniently
with the minor faults.

Oac Cent Fare on the Brooklyn Ferries.
The Commissioners of the Sinking Fund
have taken a very sensible view of tho rights
and profits of the Brooklyn Union Ferry Com
pany. In response to the application of this
grievous monopoly for renewal of their lease
for ten years to come, the Commissioners de-
cided that the lease could only be renewed
upon the conditions that the company should
reduce the fare from two cents to one cent on
the boats running between the hours Of five
and halfpast seven in the morning, and the
same hours in the afternoon. The company
have acceded to these terms, and therefore
hold their lease subject to this obligation. The
hours to which these rates apply are those
when the working classes cross the ferries In
large numbers-thousands at time-both
morning and evening. The Commissioners
have therefore taken humane view of the
question, besides putting screw upon
the voracious propensities Of the Brook
lyn Union Ferry Company, which was very
much needed. The travelling public betwee n
New York and Brooklyn, however, must look
ont that those who have to cross the East
river between the hours specified at which the
low rate is fixed are not victimized to make
up for the sacrifice which the company is COM
pclled to make. 1t is not improbable that the
company will economize by running fewer
boats during the day and night to cover the
loss of the extra cent. This is their way Of
doing business. To exact the most and return
the least to the public in comfort and accom-
mediation seems TO be the rule of the Union
Ferry Company. The Commissioners of the
Sinking Fund should see that the reduction Of
one cent during certain hours of the morning
and evening shall not interfere with the privi-
leges of the thousands of people who cross
the ferry in the interval. However, it is
point gained in favor Of the working people
against grasping monopoly, for which W:
have reason to be thankful.

A Coop SIaN.-The O5seroer (Presbyterian
organ) cordially endorses the measures adopted
by the Presbyterian Reunion Assembly, in
Philadelphia, looking to renewal Of frater-
nal relations with their brethren Of the Presby-
terian Church South. This is style Of recon-
struction that ought to come from the heart,
gious fellowship as well as the bond of union
among all the States.

AFRICAN CoLoNIzATIoN.-T American
Colonization Society publish an "Appeal to
all Christians and Philanthropists" for fifty
thousand dollars to send emigrants to Liberia.
Since the fifteenth amendment has been rati-
fed it is quite possible that our native colored
population, from which class emigrants to Lii
IBERIA are expected to be recruited, are gene
rally pretty well satisfied that the United
States Is about as free and as good country
as they can live in. Emancipation and enfran-
chlsement were the deathblow to coloniza-
! ton.

SAMBo Come BACK ON HIS RELIGION
emancipation and enfranchisement have done
q great deal toward the political elevation OF
the colored population Of the South, it seems
that the same canno. be said in regard to his
religious advancement. 1t appears from recent
Investigations that the Southern Methodist
Church is rapidly losing lis colored member
ship, there being but about nineteen thousand
members this year, against thirty-two thousand
last year. How can this be accounted for?

A MISTAKE IN ORGANIZING THE FENIAN
ARMY.-In the organization of the Fenian
army of invasion the general rule was re-
versed. Instead of having heavy body Of
rank and file and but few officers, numerically
compared, it is said they had more officers
than men, and as the officers retreated on the
approach of the Canadian militia the minority
of the fighting force only were left to do tn e

Dress Fashions in Europe.

From Paris, under date of the 18th Of May,
comes our special fashions correspondence, in
graceful aid refreshing anticipation of summer.
Despite some local drawbacks the mind of the
French modistes and costumers was active in
the study of new and graceful designs of dress
patterns, and comprehensive in sweep in their
elaboration. Our special writer speaks Of

her departure for London. On this occasion
the aristocracy Of France and England were
closely allied for the setting of the tom and

opening Of the present season. 1t must be ac-
knowlcdged that the confederated beauties, SO
far as we can Judge from our special letter,
succeeded admirably.
In the communication of to-day we have a
description of ''plebisctum" robe, of velvet

JUSTICE TO RoME.-A correspondent asks
ter of her compelling Protestants to worship
outside the walls of the sacred city," as al
legged by Representative Bingham in the
recent controversy in Congress about the
mission to Rome. Our correspondent AYERS
that this story is utterly without foundation in
fact, and the evidence proves that he is cor
rect. The suggestion about the restoration of
General King to the Office from which he was
deprived as Minister to Rome is good, but we
imagine it comes rather too late in the session
for the present Congress to take action
upon it,

Music I'm the Parks.

The public have reason to be grateful to the
new Commissioners of Public Parks for the
opportunity afforded to enjoy delicious music
in the various parks down town which are ac
cessible to multitudes of people who cannot
frequent Central Park, nor come within the
precincts of Theodore Thomas magnificent
classic temple of art. The Commissioners
announce that fine band will play in Tomp-
kins Square on Tuesday evening, from five
o'clock till seven. They also furnish the pro-
gramme of music, that shows admirable taste
in the selection, which embraces the works of
such composers as Mozars, Offenbach, Verdi,
Abt, Herold, Wagner and Strauss. We can
imagine what treat this will be to the denizens
of that crowded region Of the city. We can
fancy the toilers Of the day, and those gentler
ones-women and children-who lean upon
the toilers for support, indulging in such re-
fined enjoyment almost at their doors-such
pleasure as was never furnished them before.
And when they turn their footsteps towards
home, after the last strain of melody has died
away, will they not bless the Commissioners of
Public Parks for their consideration for the
comforts of the people?
Mr.. Sweeny and his colleagues evidently
comprehend their duties in democratic point
of view. They do not confine themselves to
the aristocratic Central Park in lavishing their
favors, but they give fair share of attention
to the little green spots where the sons and
daughters of toll look for their recreation in
the afternoon. On Wednesday evening WASH
ington Square will be resonant with the genius
of the best composers. On Thursday Madison
Square will be equally favored. This is just
what is wanted. 1t is impossible to exagge-
rate the beneficial effects Of occasional music
in the parks. Trfing as the circumstance may
seem it will effect moral revolution in many
districts that no police system could enforce.
It will do more to empty the grogshops,
corner groceries and other pernicious haunts
than people imagine. The attraction Of
delicious music in neighborlng park will
steal many wild and wayward soul away
from gross temptations. For this, as well as
for the pleasure afforded to all classes, we have
reason to be grateful to the Commis sioners for
the music in our public parks

POLICE CoURr.-There were but two
cases before the Police Court yeeterday.
Both plain drunks. One very plain
drunk.
Michael McMannway was on his
road from Cincinnati to Pittsburgh on
Friday. Getting dry on the road he
stopped off here and hysted in a gallon
or so Of fusil oil. 1t so impeded his
navigation that lie couldn't go any fur
Their. He went into the Second Ward
market house to rest and there fell
asleep. 81 and costs was the price
charged for it He didn't have so
much lucre so he went to geology
school for five days.
Daniel Bowers is another of that
family whose greatIrepresentative, Joe,

dear ancient mamma in the county OF
Pike, State Of Missouri, because he
was determined 10 roam and hadn Il the

The GREAT REFoRMED.-When To
by Vance was released from jail the
other day, after his narrow escape from
serving five years in the penitentiary,
we declared with a voice like unto the
beating Of drums and clashing Of Gym
balls, that he was about to reform; that
the chain gang that had known him 80
often should know him no more forever
and that he had taken N his last load
of fusil oil. We had onr doubts, but
kept an eye on lobe On Friday we
actually saw him al work, carrying in
coal. Then we believed all things were
possible Ia lobe. Satisfied that if he
could mctaphorically take himself 10y

himself a heavier load than the could
bear. TO cut off Tohc's benzinc is 10
cut his throat. Yesterday he treated
his good resolution to such an extent
that he got badly drunk, and took it
upon himselfto clean out North Wheel

his long vacant place in Professor

writ declares is held by the said Lieut.
Dawes without lawful authority. The
application was granted and the cause
was heard on Saturday The recruit
ing officer refused to obey the writ and
have the body OF Cook brought into
Court, on the ground that the Circuit
Court was without jurisdiction in the
matter. General Wheat made a very
strong, close argument for the petitioner
and George B. Caldwell, AssiS tam
United States District Attorney, for the
officer. The case was submitted TO the
Court and will probably he decided

CIRCUIT CoURT.-The sensation be-
fore the Circuit Court on Saturday was
the trial of Randall Tristler for burg
larry at F. BashoPs. As Tristler has
already been tried for an offence of a
like nature and the jury had fixed his
term of Imprisonment at twelve years,
seven for the offence and FIVE because
Of a former conviction there were many
speculations as to whether the facts Of
the previous conviction charged in the
second Indictment would be given to
the jury second time The matter
was suddenly disposed Of however, by
Tristler Withdrawing his former plea Of
not guilty and pleading guilty to the
charge, and the Prosecuting Attorney
Withdrawing the allegation of the for
mer conviction.
When told to stand up to receive his
sentence, Judge Melvin ask him if he
had anything say why sentence should
not be pronounced against him, he said I:
Nothing, only the people here are so
blood thirsty against me that ! could
not get fair trial, and that's the reason
] plead guilty TO this charge.
Judge Melvin then said: 1t is the
judgement of the Court that you be
taken to the Penitentiary Of this State,
there to be confined for the period Of
seven years as found by the jury, and
the question Of your former conviction
having been submitted to the jury and
by them found to be true, Won will be
confined for the additional period
five years as fixed by law. And on'the
second indictment, TO which You have
Just pleaded guilty, it is the judgment
of the court that you be confined in the
penitenliary for an additional five years
making in all seventeen years.
Tristler laughed as the sentence was
pronounced and said "Is that all q
