Of the peace that now exists between England
ard America may be reduced to q minimum.
It is to be hoped that similar effort will
be made on this side to establish local COM
mittees to cooperate with the parent associa-
tion in the useful labor that they have thus
taken in hand. Nowhere in the world has so
much been effected by organizations outside
of Government, and independent of party
politics, as in England and, next to it, we
stand with the enormous achievements OF our
Sanitary and Christian and Freedmen's Com
missions. Just as these grew out of the
war, and aided largely in securing the result
that we all longed for, so the pre-
sent necessity may be said to be
one of the memories of the war, and
certainly full and free and frank discussion
of the questions at issue between the two
countries may we'll be counted on to expedite
settlement of them by quickening the ac-
tions of the Governments and their officials,
and by checking the efforts of congressman
and others who would make war or peace
between England and America merely step
ping-stones to help them across the turbid
stream of home politics and party strifes. We
all know that outside of Congress and outside
of Governments, both at home and abroad,
there are men of sound minds and broad,
comprehensive intelligence, who have thought
out the questions now at issue. If they can
be brought together, and, joining to those
who are already associated for the purpose in
England, help to subdue the troublesome
doubts and uncertainties that make up the
open questions between the two countries,
there can be little doubt that the result will
be creditable to them and gratefully accepted.

Mans Home is particularly worthy
of the favorable notice of merchants,
tradesmen, and business men generally, for
they must know that in the ups and downs Of
life the most deserving often find themselves
in their advanced years totally unprovided

The most prosperous of our business men
should remember that it is not impossible
they may be obliged to take advantage Of the

such contingency should ever occur, they will

contributing to its support.

THE BROAD STREET PA VENENT.
RUMoRs are rife that the project for paving
Broad street with wooden pavement is to be
made pretext for securing a contract at an
enormous price from the city. 1t is said
that contractors have made q combination to
the effect that they will not underbid each
other, and under this arrangement the re-
presentatives of different wooden-pavement
interests will each receive double price for
performing their respective portions of the!con-
templated work. Such rumors may we'll in
duce an overtaxed community to ask
Councils to pause before they create wooden
pavement loan. If any money is to be spent
for such purpose, taxpayers should be quite
certain that it is to be spent honestly and
judioiously. 1t is far better that Broad street
should bide her time, or that her property
holders should themselves pave the street
before their own doors, than that taxpayers
should be heeced by an exacting combination.
If the city is willing to spend half million
or million of dollars for paving the
street, it would also be well to in
quire whether such an amount could
not be more advantageeusly expended on
other streets than on Broad street. Practi-
cally, the great highways of the city at this
moment are the centres of the passenger
railway tracks. If they were put in first-rate
condition, much would be done to accommo
date all who drive vehicles of any description
on our thoroughfares; and by tax levied on
all who own drays, cars, or carriages, it would
be easy to raise the interest on the sum ne
cessary to put the centre of the railway
tracks in frst-rate condition, either with
wooden or other pavements

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY IA, 1871.
THE REPUBLICAN RULES.

THE REPUBLICAN HULBS.
ANOTHER attempt was made yesterday, in the
convention called to revise the rules of the
Republican party of Philadelphia, to base re-
presentation in the city conventions upon the
number of Republican voters represented,
and we regret that this attempt was unsuc-
cessful. The party managers are too fearful of
the masses of the party to be willing to give
them fair opportunity to express their
wishes; and an organization which is nothing
if not intensely Republican, in the most
thorough sense of the word, repudistes
Republican principles, and perpetuates the
vicious practices of monarchical tricksters,
in a matter of vital moment connected with
its own partisan rules. When this hagrant
error comes to be generally understood it will
awaken deep indignation. In a partisan
point of view it is very bad policy, for the
reason that it destroys one of the strongest of
incentives to bring out full party vote at any
given election. 1t will often lose the Repub-
lican ticket thousands of votes from this
cause alone, and at the same time
cause the loss of thousands of
other votes through the facilities it offers for
nominations which are repulsive to the Re-
publican masses. 1t is akin to the English
rotten borough system, which has justly in
Cured the odium of the whole civilized
world That gave borough which had but
handful of voters as large a representation
as some large cities of England, and thus
outraged all sense of justice. The system
which the Rules Convention persists in main
tanning gives to few hundred Republicans
in some districts as much influence as thou
sands of voters in other districts possess; and
this wrong is, in principle, quite as bad as
the wrong embodied in the rotten boroughs
of England.
After fixing on the party the wrong already
referred to, the convention is now consider
ing a plan to adjust disputes arising from
contested seats. 1t has happened over and
over again that ring managers have excluded
the fairly elected delegates from conven-
tions, and given seats to subservient to els
who had no just claims to them. If the
rules appertaining to this matter are arranged
to suit the schemes of willy leaders, the party
will be completely at their mercy, and
they will be able to pack conven-
tion after convention with their
creatures. Whenever desperate cheating is
contemplated, series of unjust and un-
founded contests are instituted, and by the
exclusion of considerable number of fairly
elected delegates through this trick,
minority captures the temporary organization,
and then takes good care that the contested
seats are given to the claimants who have the
least right to them. The Rules Convention
ought to adopt rules calculated to prevent
such frauds in future, but it is to be feared
that it will concoct an ingenious plan to ia
cilitate them.

what Brace Greenwood Thinks Of the
Mormon Women.

You hear a good deal about that I" cross"
from both Mormon husbands and wives, but
you only see the shadow of 1t in the faces of the
women. 1 do not mean to intimate that they
all look decidedly unhappy. There is rather in
their faces quiet, battling, negative and abb
negative expression which certainly is as far from
happy content as it is from desperate rebellion.
Naturally, they are more alive to the outside
pressure of public opinion. more sensitive to the
obOquy and ostracism which their position pro-
vokes, than men. Patient and passive as they
seem, they feel these things keenly-the more in
telligent among them, at least-and though up
held by a sincere, devOut faith in this strange de-
fusion, they have toward strangers peculiar air
of reticence, of mistrust, almost of repulsion.
do not wonder at it-their hospitality and conf
denee have often been abused.they have been
intIuded upon by impairment interyiewers, and
their reluctant answers TO persistent questioning
published abroad, with startling additions and
dramatic embellishments Those l have met
appear to me, must say, like good and gentle
Christian women They are singularly simple
in dress and modest I'm demeanor. What sad
dens me is their air of extreme quietude, retire
ment andrepression. But for the children around
them you would think some of them were women
who had done with this world. l am told that
the wives of even the highest Mormon digni-
tariCs show little pride in their lords. 1t were
perhaps difficult to feel much pride i'm the six
teenth part of a man, as men go. Even the first
wife of a wealthy saint betrays in her husband
and household, they saw, no eIultant joy of pos
session. An investment in a Mormon heart and
lone must be rather uncertain stock for a
woman. L am assured, though, that the
second wife is seldom taken without the full
consent Of the first. Not only are the poor
poman's religious faith and zeal appealed to-
but her magnanimity toward her sister woman
out in the cold. 1t must be through great suf-
fering that such heights OF self-abnegation are
reached. The crucitxion of the divine weakness
of a loving wOmans heart must be severe
process. But there is some sorry comfort in the
thought that for these poor polygamous wives
there Is no wearing uncertainty, no feyerish
anNiety-that they are spared the bitterest pain
OF Jealousy, the vague nightmare torture of sus-
picOn, the grief and horror of the final discoy-
