Ii is to be hoped that the Senate amendment

employed in the Internal Revenue Bureau will
pass the House before the 3Oth inst, a. ut that

advisable or necessary, after the authority for
their employment is obtained from Congress.

The indications just now are than Hon. W
ID. Kelley. who represents the 4th Pennsylva-
MIA district In Congress, will have a severe con-
test in the race next fan. Hon. W. b. Thomas,
who was Collector of Customs for the port of
Philadelphia under Mr.. Lincoln, and popular
and able man, was nominated against Mr.. Kel-
ley on Friday last, by q citizens convention.
The result will probably be that If the Demo-
Gratis do not nominate, and support Thomas, he
will be elected, while, IL they nominate q can
dldate OF tneir own, and Mr.. Thomas remains
on the track, the Democrat will be successful.

We sympathise sincerely win TIA, s-.s..-.-- NV
the accident which occurred in Philadelphia on
Saturday last; but really we think the country
is to be congratulated on the premature ex-
plosion, in mass, of whole warehouse full of
Chinese crackers, fireworks, etc. It's a mercy
to have them go OF in that way, instead of
having them distributed over the country so as
TO create confusion and alarm in half a hundred

Aco'emPorary taking up the cudgels in behalf
OF Mr.. Charles Stewart and his injunctions,
thinks The STAR Is inconsistent because IL
denounced the mode in which Bowen gave out
the awards Of ward paving contracts, and now
disapproves of the action of Stewart in putting a
stop to the operations Of these contractors.
There is no Inconsistency about 1t. We de-
nounced the Bowen electioReering trick of
giving out the contracts to ward partisans at
the time they were 50 given out; then was the
time when Mr.. Stewart should have put on his
injunetiOns- We should have said Amen had he
plastered the Bowen contractors a foot deem
with injunctions, before they entered upon the
wholesale work OF cutting down and tearing I'D.
But now that they have gone on uninterruptedly
until the work Is more than half executed on
many Of their contracts; when side walks have
been cut down ten, fifteen, twenty feet and citi-
zens are shut ont from all access to their premises
except by rear alleys; while the street fronts are
q chaos of bricks, mud, and rubbish-that Mr..
Stewart at this late day should interfere to stop
the work and leave the property-h holders In this
disagreeable position, perhaps for an entire
year, while the matter drags its slow course
through the courts, is a grievance not to be tol
Grated with patience. We are glad, therefore,
to hear that the contractors have concluded to
go on and finish up the most pressing work on
their hands, taking the chances of getting their
pay.
The Mayor, we think, can very properly de-
cline to give out new work to these contractors
until their status is settled, aud can properly
stop the farther execution of work on the out
skirts Of the city where its interruption will be
matter of loss or Inconvenience TO no one; but
citizens placed in the unfortunate condition we
have above described have a right to demand
the early completion of the work to save them
from Inconvenience and nosifire ininrr

HE WEATHER.-The current belief that
Sunday is always the hottest day" seemed to
rest on good foundation yesterday. From all
parts Of the country comes the word that it was
the warmest day of the season, and in MANY
places supposed to be cooler than washinpton
the mercury ranged considerably higher than
here. But We had it warm enough for all prac-
teal pu-poses,-in this world, at least. Perhaps
the fairest indication of the real state OF the
weather in this city was afforded by the Their
mOmeter of Mr.. Hall, at the corner of 18th and
NJ streets, which at O'Clock marked 80 in
the shade and 1919 in the sun.
To-day the thermometer at Hempler's on
Pennsylvania avenue, below 9Th street, regis
tered as follows IS O'Clock 81; at ~, 90; at 9.
80 But in comparing these figures with those
above of yesterday the fact should be borne i'm
mind that there is considerable difference be-
tween the temperature OF the avenue and that
OF NJ street. The latter locality lies much higher
and the air II always cooler there than on the
streets IN the lower part of the city

The public attention has been recently dravn
to the performances of a British railway vita .
tvo-feet track, constructed very cheapiy, with
light engines and cars. The result of its opera
tons more than answered the expectations of its
projectors. It's advantages are: The narrow
track greatly increases the power Of the engine
therefore grades are not so importantly track
may follow the undulations of the country
and trestle work will safely answer instead OF
hlls-the track is exceedingly cheap-the work
ing chesp-the cost of transportation may be
accordingly economical-and for neighborhood
purposes, by lateral lines Of twenty miles or So
this light railway has proved to be an entire
success.
The discovery will prove invaluable, and will
make the railway complete As mode of general
transportafion-the light railways being the
neighborhood feeders Of the trunk lines.

The True News from Cuba.

II would appear that, after all the grand
proclamations of Captain General DE RopAs,
in which he more than demonstrates the
total suppression Of the Cuban instruction,
the patriots are in as good force and spirits

ed by the Havana cable), we learn that Gen.
JORDAN, whose fight from Cuba the Span.
iards reported month ago--and in regard
10 the veracity of this report Gen De RoDAs
In one of his late dispatches officially stated
there was now no question'-has turned up
Mt Boga, port in the Bay of Nucvitas and
opposite the city of that name, and there
gained an important victory over the Span
lards under GoYENECuE. The great haste
with which the last achievements from
Spain were hurried off to Nuevias on the
very moment Of their arrival in Havana is
thus explained.
The raid effected some weeks ago by AR
REDoNDo in the neighborhood of Glines, and
which was eminently successful, Spanish &c
roun;s TO the contrary notwithstanding, has,
Il seems. instigated others, for the Spaniards
are said TO have been defeated in an engage.

quietly incorporated into the common
mass Of doctrine. But suppose some day
n Pope should attempt to prescribe limo
of conduct which should be opposed to the
material interests of any considerable body
of the faithful Or, suppose that he should,
as has already happened in times past, come
into collision with great political powers
and 80 cause q direct contest between the
Church and powerful StatosH Or, again,
suppose that given doctrine, promulgated
by him at certain epoch, should find ITSELF
after little while, contradicted by the ex-
periencc and reason of the whole world
Such contingencies good Catholics will soy
can never arise but the risk that they may
arise is one which the body Of the Church
can hardly contemplate without anxiety.
, The PRONUNCIATION of this dogma therefore
constitutes new point of departure in the
history Of the Roman Church. II brings TO
a sharper and distincter issue the modern
warfare between reason and authority, and
widens and decpons the breach between the
Church and its foes. IL is the great religious
event of the century, and it's consequences
no human eye can altogether foresce.
