Reform of the Republican Party

Ne record with sincere Qualification the fact
that the most Important journal Of the Republi-
can party, the Netc Rork Tunes, not only appre-
oiates the necessity Of reform within the party,
lut has energetieally commenced the work OF
pointing ont the precise nature and scope of the
indispensable measures The following extract
is taken from the Tunes Of yesterday:
ave frequently begged tue Senators an Rep
resentatiVcs to apply themselves TO practical busi.
ness, but the only practical measure which the
people viVidly recall is the odo1s back-pay bill
II may be said that it Is unjust TO Congress thus
10 single out an unpopular measure, and take il
ls the representative work OF the session. Ysi
the people cannot be blamed, for the back. paw
bill touched their interests very closely, and was
certain 10 provoke resentment and indignation
Why the Republicans who voted for il and de.
Tended II never toresaw these consequences, has
always been q mystery To US. This was one al
the cases in which tue party journals proved
themselves much wiser than the party leaders -
We hope that the Tunes will 20 on TO insist
upon the full repeal OF this oaIous bill not
merely so far as 1t affects the salary of members
ofCongrees, but the salary Of the President aleo
Certainly, considering how bad the bill is and
how thoroughly the responsibility for II rests on
the Republican party, there is no measure which
can be more imperaIively required by prudent
regard Tor The future. il Is true that the members
OF Congress who have taken the back nav cannot
DC compelled TO disgorgs il; neither, we suppose
can the President be expected 10 surrender that
part OF his present years salary which he has
already drawn al the increased rae but lie can bt
prevented from drawing that increase hereafter.
inasmuch as the constitutional provision against
the reduction Of the Presidents pay during his
period Of onlce does not apply IN This case.-N. Y
San.
The Commercial says 1t does not think the sal
anes Of Congressman too high. The New Yorh
Times does not appear to agree with it, Perhap,

to do with the opinions Of the Times, and mai
change those Of the Commercial also.

IAN Honest confession, &C."

No paper in the United States has recently gone
50 far to champion the Republican party as the
New York Tunes, and none has more fully earned
ITS confidence; and yet yesterday 1t employs the
following language alt ought 10 be obvions to
the Republican leaders that such another session
of the Legislature as the last which was held in
this State, or another session Of Congress like
that which closed in the spring, win utterly ex-
unguish the party. Ia tins State months were
wasted in idle wTangles, in mismanagement, aud
in bunghng attempts TO deal with urgent public
business. This may not have been so much the
fault of the leaders as of the material with which
they had to deal, but the party has had To tax c
the responsibility OF all the mistakes. Nor onght
we TO complain of this. The public at large can
not be expected 10 apportion The blame for party
failures among individuals. ."-Phila. preSS

probably got her dress, thence to her headdress
During the evening, while she was arranging heI
hair, she felt something singular about ii aud
commenced to ascertain the cause, and no sooner
had she placed her hand on the bug, when she re.
ceived severe and painful sting on one Or her
fingers. Her husband, who happened to be near
by, iushed 10 her, and seeing the situation folded
a towel together and took the bug from her hair
and while doing so received a sting through the
thickness Of the cloth TO his hand.
