An examination of the attitude
of the press of the country on curren
cy question shows great preponder-
ance against imitation, and that with
out reference to party lines. The
Springfield Republican, and Boston
Advertiser, the Boston Post, the Bos.
ton Herald, the Hartford Post, the
Hartford Times, the Chicago Tribune,
the Cincinnati Commercial, the Gin.
cinnati. Gazette, the Detroit Tribune,
the Detroit Free Press, the c eyeland
Leader, the Albany Journal, The AL
bany Argus and the st. Louis Repub-
lioan are strenuously opposed to inaa-
ton, while the only newspapers of
prominence which are ontspoken in
favor or that dootrina are the Philsdel-
phias Press. the Cincinnati Enquirer
and the Indianapolis Journal.

Free Circulation of County Papers

There are strong indications that
the postal laws will be 90 amended,
at this session of Congress, as to per
nit the free circulation Of weekly
papers within their respective coun>
ties as under the old law POST
master General Creswell in mes
sage to the Senate, gave Information
in regard to the working II the abo-
lition of iranking, says;
There is one restriction, however,
which be never advised, and which
in his opinion, might bo safely re-
moved-that il, the provision which
forbids free transportation of week
~ newspapers within the counties
Of their publication as heretofore
authoriz d by law. The grounds
upon which this recommendation
are made are, first, that such papers
are 40 evenly distributed over the
entire extent Of the county and con
fined to lines Of transit so short that
they have never been known to i'm
pede the distribution and transpor-
tation Of the mails and secondly,
that the amount of postage levied
upon them as at present collected,
whilst affording but triflipg revo-
nue. to the Department, is yet heavy
enough TO be severely felt by their
propretors and patrons, and to OBJ
struct the dissemination Of local in
ligence."
If this recommendation of Post
master General Creswell is framed
into q law by Congress, we are salts
fed it will meet the hearty approval
of the people.
.It is fashionable now days to
condemn everybody and mourn for
the good old days. The Washington
Star has looked up the record Of the
Senate in 1911, and has the following :

acrimony about 1t, and wise men felt none. IL
was natural that the North, unused to Slavery
and unbenelited by it, should be first to recog-
ME its inquity and be willing to sacrifice it.
1t was Just as natural that the Carolinian or
LOuisianian, born and reared as he was,
should cordially believe in the "curse OF
"Canaan," and become that curse with the
most honest intentions in the world. There IL
nothing which we are so 10th to acknowledge,
however, as the effect that geography and race
have upon the religion and beliefs of men.
This man we see kOO-tOOng to his joss DO
cause he was born in one latitude. and that u
stern COvenanter because he was born In an
other. But that the accident of our own birth
in Boston or Charleston altered right or
wrong for us, few of us admit. We went
through the war. therefore, not philOsophlcally
as a savage necessity, but with deep sectional
grudges and rancors against those who op-
posed u.s. There was danger that even when
the war was over we should never see how
these men, whom for the sake of humanity 1t
was wiled we should overcome, were sincere
as we, fought herOically for what seemed to
them the right, died bravely for 1t. There
seemed to be danger that the ceremonies or
to-day should perpetuate that sectional grudge,
and deepen the injustice which ne did each
other.
It has not done so. Nothing could be more
different than the manner and spirit in which
the day is kept now and during its first OBJ
servances Where one of the Rebel dead IS
buried near Federal soldiers, even IN the
churchyards of villages where prejudice lin
gers longest, his grave is never left without
its fragrant flowers. That very sorrow which
brings tho mourner to linger over his own
brave dead slowly teaches him that his enemy
was a man like himself; father, lover, a
patriot, and Christian south of Mason and
Dixon's line. Nor do we believe that the day,
as has been feared, will ever be subjected to
base political purposes. In the North both
interest and principle urge too strongly the
Cancellation of our estranged brothers. Let
us add to these motives the hearty brO.=Srly
feeling which was so real a verify before the
war, and which made its first battles so hard
TO fight. Those Oh whose graves we lay the
fresh Spring flowers to-day would be first to
recognize the bravery of their foes, and
perhaps have struck hands again with them
ere now in the shadows of that unknown
world to which they have gone together
New-York tribune., 1874-05-30
THE CTSTON-HOUSE BILL.

II is reported from Washington that the
Senate Finance Committee is unanimously of
the opinion that to reform the Custom-house
by the abolition of mOIeties, seizure warrants,
and other abuses, without at the same time
raising the salaries of Custom-house officers,
"would result in loss of revenue to the Gov
"ernment," and consequently that 1t would be
unsafe to pass the Roberts bill without con-
siderable amendments. The Committee be-
trays an intimate knowledge of the average
CustOm-h house officer, who will not collect the
revenue unless he sees that he can make more
by doing his duty than by leaving it alone; but
1t does not seem to us that sufficient reason
has been given why the removal of the gross
outrages upon the importers and the burdens
upon commerce exposed in the recent invesu-
cations should be postponed to the camors OF
the hungry patriots vino attend to the busi-
ness of the Administration at our principal
seaports. 1t is quite possible that an uncOn-
ditional repeal of the moiety laws may result
i'm "confusion in the CustOm-house :" but why
it should necessarily entail loss to the reve-
nue., unless salaries are raised at the same
time, we do not clearly understand. To us
the proposed amendment appears important
only as it involves delay and imperils the final
passage of the bill.
A much more serious matter is the dispos-
ton Of the Senate Committee to restore the
black mail section which the House struck out
of the bill, and to iauthOrize the seizure of
books and papers under certain safeguards.
There is no excuse for retaining this provision
at all. No safeguards are sufficient; the seizure
law itself is an objectionable abuse, and no
notifications can make it tolerabe. When the
Roberts bill was first introduced, with sec
ton authorizing the attachment of books and
papers and their use as evidence under GER
tain conditions, many OF the merchants were
disposed to acquiesce in it rather than
risk the defeat of the bill by stand
ing out for a full reform. But
that section was struck out by the House,
and if the Senate restores it the House will
strike it out again. The law is disgrace to
our statute books. 1t has no parallel in the
legislation of any free country. Its only prac-
tical use was to assist blackmailers and mOiety
grabbers. 1t is not needed for the collection
of duties, and it exposes the merchant to an
noyances and hardships from which the laws
protect even the habitual thief. 1t will be to
the shame of the Senate if the seizure law
survive the present session.
But the WAYS of Washington are hard to find
out. Some of the most influential men in the
Senate are resolutely hostile to any sort OF
Custom house reform, and the fate OF the Rob-
erts bill and the FentOn bill is not by any
means assured.

DECORATION DAY.

When the ceremony of decorating the SOL
diers' graves, recurring one or two years in
succession, bade fair to become settled
custom, and to make holiday as fixed in
its observance and effects Oh the popular mind
as Christmas or the Fourth, a good many
wise people were more annoyed than graft
fed. Even those who held the memory of the
brave dead in tenderest care, doubted the
expediency of making the cause and motive
of their deaths q sort of sacred legacy to the
nation of an idea in perpetuity, to be brooded
over, sung, speechifed about from year to
year, and offered to the minds of the young
for their glowing enthusiasm to exaggerate
and dstOrt. Nobody could bid the weeping
mother or wife or comrades of the dead SOL
dier turn away from his grave nor lay a
flower upon it. Yet every true friend of the
Union knew that it would be advisable and
Just that all emotion and heat should die out
of our remembrance of the war as speedily
as possible. There were q few men (and these,
curiOusy enough, were AbolitiOnsts or ex-
treme Secessionists) who from the very close
of the struggle were cool and just enough to
regard it as men in the future might do look
ing back at it through history.
Through the blindness and cupidity of our
ancestors fatal flaw had been left in the
construction of the Republic. Until that was
eflaced she never could serve her purpose as
"a nation, or exhibit her meaning with integ-
riy in the history of mankind.
The war was the inevitable throe which was
necessary to the expulsion of this deformity
this mistake. There was the gist of the whole
matter. There was ~ need 0f bitterness Dol

THg PROTESTANT EPISCOPAL CHURCH.


Rituaism and its cognate subject, the Cum
minis reform. have called out some remarkable
utterances of late from distinguished members
of the Protestant Episcopal Church, and nota-
bly, from Bishop Stevens of Pennsylvania and
Bishop Johns of Virginia. Both these prelates
have the fullest confidence in the practical
blity of settling the disputed points of doc
trine and practice without offense to the
conscientious scruples OF the Low
Church party, and without recourse
to new denominational organization ;
and Bishop Stevens severely reprOves the Re-
formed Episcopalians for seeding from a
church which might have satisfied all their
reasonable demands. Yet both he and Bishop
Johns believe tha. some expressions in the
Book of Common Prayer have been perverted
to "the propagation of Romish errors" While
it is cOntended by both that such construction
is unwarranted. it is also held that the time
has arrived when the church should condemn
Ritualstc practices in language that cannot
be misinterpreted. Bishop Johns has no words
of censure for the two clergyman in his do
cese whose sympathy with the Cummins
movement has led to their withdrawal
from the ministry of the Protestant Episcopal
Church, and seems to entertain the hope that
reflection will lead them to return to the fold
which they have left. AS to the importance
of the present crisis in the church, the views
of both Bishops seem to be embodied in the
declaration of Bishop Johns that the time
"has come for very decided action on the
" paSt Qf those who ,RTize the precious results
