WAGES for the sexes, is now one of the
subjects attracting attention among all civ
ilized nations. In England, and in the Uni
ted States more particularly, the proposition
to make wages the same, for the same work,
whether performed by women or men, is
being accepted as just and proper. In this
country there is little opposition to this
claim, though for some reason it is not fully
acceded to. Public opinion approves the
claim, but the claimants have as yet re-
ceived little more than this approval.
Where this act of justice ought to begin, is
in all public places, for all work done UNI
der the control of the government. In the
business of teaching, where woman per-
forms the same service as a man, the pay
ought to and must be the same. Once lei
the standard be thus fixed for services of q
public character, and we will speedily have
itrecognized in all private pursuits.

VIRGINIA RAILROADS.

The Philadelphia North American takes
very sensible view of the railroad inter-
ests of this State, and the value that a
general railroad law would be to our peo-
pie. 1t closes its article, with true com.
prehension of our interests, thus:
Considerable portions of the Virginia rail-
roads have already passed into the hands of the
great Pennsylvania Central, whose knowledge
and ability in the matter Of developing way traf-
flc and increasing the productiveness OF lines
are well known. The extreme Jealousy displayed
toward this company by SO. many Virginians OF
education and influence, shows how serious are
the obstacles to the increase of business on any
railway route 10 that State. Every planter Is Isl.
politician, and wants to regulate matters 10 SUIT
| his own notions, whether he owns any Stock IN
| the company or not Now we might suggest 10
| the Virginia journals that are advocating the
construction of new lines, that just in proportion
| as they allow the existing lines to be made pro-
| fitable by their managers will there be DISPOSE
| ton to build new roads.
| What we desire to impress upon our friends in
| Virginia is, that the essential element OF the
| prosperity OF a free state is that railroading
should be left free and untrammelled. 1t is so IN
| any number Of persons may combine and build
| q road anywhere. In Pennsylvania the law is
| the same. But over and above this, public sen
| timent must correspond with the law. Com
MERGE must be left free to mark out It's own ehan
| nels, and not be forced to comply with arbitra
| ~ requirements of sectional or local interests
| Pennsylvania offers an example in this respect
| Railroads pass through her territory In ever,
direction to and from points beyond.

ILLEGrTIMATE CHILDREN.

A bill was recently introduced into
our Legislature and referred, to amend
the Bastardy Act. This reminds us to
say what we have long thought in
common, as we suppose, with most people
who have reflected at all upon the matter.
Our legislation upon this subject is unjust
and barbarous. The child born Of illicit
love is as pure and stainless as that born
in lawful wedlock. It is as precious in the
sight of God as the offspring of the most
favored house. A soul has been incarnated
in the flesh in obedience to the physical
laws which the Creator has ordained.
1t comes stainless as the falling
snow into the world on its way to
higher destinies. Who shall dare plant
thorns for its innocent feet, or block up its
pathway to happy and successful
life. He is monster who would brand
its innocent brow with shame. Yet the
law now does this and is responsible for the
hard and brutal sentiment which seeks to
disgrace and degrade the very children who
should be the objects of its most loving
and tender care. The first step in amending
our present law is to make all chaldren
legitimate. By the most careful and
stringent provisions, the parentage of chill
dren born out of wedlock should be ascer-
tanned and their parents compelled to give
them care and education. Their rights
should be protected by every possible guar
anty. Whatever advantages may accrue
from family connections or inheritance
should be secured to them. The law
should see to it, that every child born
into the world is acknowledged
and cared for by its parents,
and especially by the father as the most
capable. Such legislation would be just
manly and Christian. 1t would be health
full in its social influences every way. 81
lar from breaking down any proper re
straints, it would raise barrier to shield
the most sacred institution Of our socia
life. 1t recognizes the sacredness o
motherhood and infancy, consecrated BY
Gods eternal law, as, under all circumstan
ces, the proper objects of the paternal car
of the State.

THE HOMESTEAD AMENDMENT TO
THE BANKRUPT Law.

Colonel Platt succeeded in getting in his
amendment to the Bankrupt law under
suspension of the rules. Mr.. Platt ex-
planned to the House the attempt to nullify
the humane legislation of last winter by
the courts of Virginia. The House there
upon suspended the rules and took up the
consideration of the bill, which was passed
by two.thirds vote. 1t will undoubtedly
pass the Senate, also.
1t now looks as if the Senate would
hold the House bill repeating the Bankrupt
law absolutely, and substitute one extend
ing the time till the first of January. with,
perhaps, some important amendments.
One requiring somebody to pay the printer
for bankrupt notices, is very much needed,

INCREASE OF THE CURRENCY.

Mr.. Hooper, chairman of the Committee
on Banking and Currency, has prepared a
bill to increase the currency to the extent
Of five millions per annum for the next
five years. This bill meets with our
hearty approval, because it recognizes what
seems to have been ignored by Congress,
viz: The necessity Of adapting the vol
ume of the currency to the growing BUSH
ness Of the country. So far, the prevailing
idea of the finance doctors has been to
bring about specie payment by contrac-
ton. This insane and ruinous policy was
pursued for nearly two years by McCul-
loch until Congress pat stop to it.
The West and South suffered
intensely from that mad attempt
to cure disease which was only agra
Uated by the ignorance and stupidity that
attempted to force specie payments at the
cost of ruined industry and trade. What
we want is, cheap money. The people must
have tools to improve the vast natural
wealth of the country. Of all tools money
is the most important. 1t rests with Con-
gress now to meet this crying need of the
people, by abandoning forever the policy
taught by the old political economists Of
Europe, and accepting the deductions Of
modern science, which appeal as well to COM
mon sense. First make the money good, Their
make it plenty. Mr.. Hooper's bill is Q
step in the right direction, and will dc
great good if passed. We hope to see tho
principle upon which it is based more thor
oughly understood, accepted, and applied
IN our financial legislation. The working
men Of the country. by whom we mean al
who are engaged in legitimate production
and trade, must combine as one man to de
mand of Congress that their claims shall
be considered. The finances are now con
trolled BY and for the brokers, who wan
money to be scarce and the rates of interes
high. The people should be furnishe
money at three per cent. on good security
This aoiN be done, when they have the sens
and pluck to rise in their might and rescu
their birthright from the hands that hay
robbed them for centuries, by the cunnin
mechanisms of finance.
