THE PHILADELPHIA QUESTION.

The only peril which threatens the new
Constitution of Pennsylvania comes from the
Ring which has so long held Philadelphia in
slavery All over the State the proposed
changes are received with overwhelming ap-
proval. The more they are discussed the
more general becomes the favor with which
they are regarded; and it is perhaps not too
much to say that the work of the Convention
has aroused something like enthusiasm from
one end of the Commonwealth to the other
Even in Philadelphia the Constitution will
command, they tell us, large majority of
honest votes, and it is doubtful if it could be
defeated by all the false counting and repeat
ing which the old election machinery would
enable the Ring to employ against it.
We are not surprised at the violence--nay,
the indecency-with which the election ordi-
nance is consequently assailed. Except in the
overthrow of that provision by means of the Su-
preme Court, the Ring has absolutely no chance
whatever And even if the Court should
decide against the ordinance, and restore the
displaced election officers to power, there will
probably be an outburst of feeling among the
honest citizens which will carry everything
before il.

letter to The Cleveland Herald on this sub
ject. There is flavor of "Thus saith tho
Lord" in the writer's al speak whereof
"know," and delightful assurance of tho
judicial mind when he says he is not in sym
patty with Mr.. Carpenter politically. but
deems it his duty to speak in behalf of truth
and justice. The letter lacks a signature.
Its statements are untrue. The proprietors
of the West End Hotel know whether
the facts have been misrepresented. Mr..
Matt. Carpenter himself knows also whether
or not he has been slandered. A denial from
either of these we submit, would be much
more to the purpose than an unsigned letter

ORR FIRST DEITY.

The public mind will not entirely recover from
its suspense until we are more fully informed
in what spirit the Peninsulars of Cuba receive
the orders from Madrid. They are placed In
situation which is painful to any community,
and still more to those Of so exctable and
self-willed q character as the Havanese have
exhibited of late years. They have expressed
themselves so strongly in regard to this case that
it will not be easy for them now to submit to
contrary decision. They have feted the Off
GERS of the Tornado for an achievement which
has been dsowned They have rejoiced over
the executions which are now shown to have
been murders. 1t will not be easy for them
to keep silence, now that the Government has
spoken and contradicted their precipitate
utterances.
But,there is still room to hope they will not
be guilty of the folly of mutiny against the
Peninsular Government. There must be men
of some GOODNESS among them who can re-
strain them from anything mad as resist
ance to Spain, which would speedily end in
their complete ruin and the loss of their pos
sessions in the Antilles. Ii is fortunate that
the Captain General has only recently arrived
from Spain, and has probably not yet given
way to those local influences which
have made so many Governors the
mere instruments of the Casino Espanol.
was his dispatch to CASTELAR,, answering for
the execution Of all orders. which first gave
us reason to hope that just settlement OF the
matter might be arrived at. If he is able to
carry out his orders from Madrid and deliver
the Virginius and her surviving prisoners into
our hands, grave responsibility at once rest,
upon our Government to fulfill the pledges il
has assumed in the face of the civilized
world, by an immediate and rigid
investigation into the character and
status of this vessel We have indicated oui
national honor, so far as it was attacked by
Spain. 1t remains for us TO vindcate our
own municipal law so far as it has been VIC.
lated by the Virgnius, if it has been violated
and if it has not. to make that fact appear.
BY our controversy with England and by its
issues at Geneva we brought the whole
system of international relations more
clearly into harmony with the civilization
of the age 1t is our duty to retain the po-
sition we then assumed, by a conscientious
observance of those obligations which we
have made law for others. In the execution
of this duty, we should be as little influenced
by our sympathies as by any lower range OF
motives. Our national dignity demands a
prompt and thorough treatment of the case OF
the Virginius, as soon as the vessel comes into
our hands.

case. and then gave the orders for the salts
faction Of our claims, though he knew that
by that act he put into the hands of his
enemies the most effective weapon they could
WELD against him. Ii has been the fashion
to call the Republic Of Spain weak govern
ment but it has shown in this affair the
very highest degree of moral strength.
Emanating directly from universal suffrage, it
has disrogarded popular camor. 1t has con-
suited the interests Of the people rather than
their prejudices. 1t has proved once more the
truth of that profound saying of Montesquieu,
that while honor is the ruling principle of
Monarchies, virtue is the necessary stand
ard of Republics. 1t is only Republics
that can breed that race Of moral heroes who,
like Lincoln and Castelar, dare to disregard
narrow and jealous patriotism when it is
opposed to justice, and when sacrifice Is
needed, sacrifice their own popularity rather
than principle.

for considering the affairs of Cuba. But the
financial situation has assumed additional
gravity in consequence of the Virginius case
The Government, already running ahead Of
its income, has been forced to enormous ex-
pendtures in arming for possible war, and
we shall have to provide for the pressing
necessities of the Treasury besides looking
into the general financial system of the
country. An increase of taxation will certainly
be called for. but it is to be hoped that Con-
gress will not unsettle business and derange
our struggling industries by foolish tinker
ing with the tariff. A great danger threatens
us in the schemes Of the infatiOnists, the shin
plaster financers with nostrums for NOV
ing the crops and making everybody rich. If
Congress has common sense all their plans for
expansion will be summarily thrown out, and
some steps will be taken to bring US back to
the hard money basis on which alone the
country can safely stand We confess that
we regard the prospect with apprehension.
Imitation will be urged by persons who ought
to know better; it is favored III u blind sort
of way by the President; and it can lead to
only one result-a repetition of the disasters
from which we have just begun to recover.
We urge Congress to put an end to all this
mischieyous business, and to do something to
prevent Mr.. Secretary Richardson from play
ing havoc any longer with interests which he
does not understand.
Notwithstanding the vigorous denunciations
of some of the political conventions, we
doubt whether the Back Pay fraud will be
treated as it ought to be. Mr.. Cox got
slap in the face when he introduced the sub
iect in the Democratic caucus; the Repub-
licans are too deeply implicated in the scan
dial to take any action upon it; and
members of both parties have done their best
to make reduction to the old rate impossi
BILE by drawing their salaries in advance
at the increased rate. But with regard
to the threatened Investigations into other
scandals, such as the District finances and
certain railway jobs, there is more hope. The
ruling majority is strong enough to prevent
any damaging disclosures if it chooses to re-
peat its former course; but we have good
reason to know that some of the strlctest
Administration men in Congress are disposed
to rebel against the corrupt Rings which
have ruled and disgraced the party, and to
join in an independent movement for reform
In so dong they would have the cordial sup
port of honorable men of every shade of
opinion. Perhaps before the end of the ses-
sion they might thoroughly regenerate their
party. 1t is not yet too late.

THE MEETING OF CONGRESS.

The Forty-third Congress assemblies to-day
under circumstances of no little difficulty
and peril. The personal and political situation
of many Of the members is awkward. The
condition of public affairs Is complicated and
unsatisfactory. The people will watch the
proceedings of the two houses with unusual
closeness and without any very strong partisan
bias, and the ability of our national legis-
lature to deal with the present exigencies
will be judged in an uncOmfortably cold
and critical spirit. In the Senate there have
been no important changes except the retire
ment of Judge Trumbull, whose learning and
integrity will be severely missed Mr.. Patter-
son of New Hampshire has passed away from
a chamber where his influence had been ire
trieyably ruined, and visitors to the gallery
will look in vain for the rubicund
PomerOy, the comic Nye, and the
faithful Harlan. These men, however,
were not powerful as legislators, and their
retirement will not injure the dominant party.
Mr.. Conkling and Mr.. Morton will continue
to lead the orthodox, with such help from Mr.
CARPENTER az circumstances may enable that
gentleman still to render. We take it for
granted that the Wisconsin Senator will
not be reelected temporary President. The
elevation of Mr.. Wilson to the seat left vacant
nv SCHUYLER Colfax makes room for Mr.. Bout
well. who is not so safe Senator as the
patriotic politician he succeeds, although he is
an honest and reputable gentleman. Mr.. Sum-
ner. Mr.. Schurz, Mr.. Thurman, and Mr. Bayard
will overtop most of their associates quite as
much this year as they did the last. In the
House the changes are more numer-
Gus. Banks, Brooks, Hill, Dickey Bing-
ham. Morgan, Kerr, Voorhees,, FarnswOrth,
Finkelnburg, and Austin Blair are among the
most conspicuous of the members who are
gone; but the active spokesman of the Admin
istration nearly all remain, the Speaker will
he reelected, and the business Of the session
will be controlled by the same hands which
have managed affairs before. OF the influence
of the new members il is too soon to Judge
New-York sends one of the ablest OF them IN
the person of Lyman Tremain. The President
has large majority in each chamber-less by
three votes in the Senate than it was during
the Forty-second Congress, but very much
greater in the House.
The one subject which threatened a few
days ago to OvershadOw all Others IN the
deliberations of Congress seems TO be now In
course of settlement, and if the Spanish Gov
eminent is as strong as its friends in Wash
inplon believe there is no immediate necessity
