Harper's Weekly tells of a grand
church in Chicago, which boasts
of a splendid organ and three
thousand dollar choir, but rather
dryish preacher, within which the
following lines were found scrib-
bled on the fly-leaf of a hymn
book:
Gould old King David but for once
TO this good church repair,
And hear bis psalms thus warbled forth,
Good gracious How he d swear.
"And could st. Paul but inst pop in,
From higher scenes distracted,
And hear "the Romans" thus explained
By George he d run distracted.

The Panamint excitement, which we
predicted, has come, and there are now
1000 men in district where there was
not n dozen last Spring; and several
thousand more will probably go within
few months, though it is doubtful
whether there will he regular employ
ment business for 500. The value of
the ore so for taken out is not one per
cent. OF the money spent by Adventures
IN travelling to the district.-[S. F. Alta.
23d.
Our venerable friend, the Alta, does
occasionally say something that is worth
noticing, and the above quoted re.
marks are not the least valuable. What
ever may be the real worth of the Pana-
mint mines, there is no doubt bu. that
like all others, it will take some time to
develop them. Iu the meantime great
rush is being made, and the result of it
will be, that the whole thing will be over
done and there will he as many broke
men running round to borrow a piece to
get square meal as there was when the
collapse of White Pine occurred. We,
therefore, think that in the matter of
pulling up stakes and setting ont for
Panamint it will be we'll to make haste
slowly. In spite of the highly colored
accounts published in various papers,
one of which, as matter of news, we
yesterday reprinted from the Carson Tri-
bune, there is no doubt but the labor
market will be overstocked and that bus.
mess matters will be very much in the
same condition. Next Spring, if the
mines support the character which ia
now claimed for them, there will be plen-
ty OF time to think of making q venture
in that direction. We are aware that the
ABOVE is advice gratis, and probably
worth as little as that commodity usually
is. but it expresses our views on the mat.
ter nevertheless, and is the result of ex-
perience of almost every mining excite.
ment that has occurred since 1851.

THE NEXT Sc sSION.

We see from our exchanges that the
more conservative portion of the Re-
publican press expresses much anxiety
respecting the course that the present
Congress is likely to pursue in the COM
ing session, which will be its last. 1t is
feared that it will be signalized with
much rash and reckless legislation. That
the greater portion of the present Re-
publican majority in the House will be
actuated with sort of vindictive negli-
gence, in consequence of which a mum.
Der of dangerous and improper measures
will be enacted. We can scarcely credit
this, because such a proceeding would
form the very best and most effective
political capital that the Democrats could
desire. They would seize on it and
WELD it with destructive force against
their opponents in 1876. As We said be-
fore, the best element of the Republican
party, the men who carried it forward in
its career OF usefulness and renown see
this, and therefore are SO anxious that
they and their party shall not be placed
in 90 dangerous and defenseless pre-
dicament. They will therefore throw
the whole weight Of their influence in
the scale Of conservatism and the bes
interests of the country, and endeayo
to choke off the unprincipled and in
furious schemes that may be projected
by the less reputable members of tht
party. In the present Congress there
are good many members who would
have no scruple in the world about
forwarding to completion, any piece,
of knavish jobbery, provided their own
interests were sufficiently consulted
They feel that it will be their last chance {;
that they are looked upon with suspicion
by the respectable portion of their own
party, who will take very good care that
never again will they have an oppor-
tunity of jeopardising the interests OF
better men than themselves. These
black sheep are not confined to one
party, they exist in both, as the history
Of the salary grab, Credit Mobilier,
and other matters, very surely indicates
The adoption, however, of such tactics
on the part of the Congressional major
ity. would be such clear case of politi.
cal felo de Sc, that we cannot but think
that the able and astute leaders of the
party will see the danger into which the
more reckless would lead them, and,
on the contrary, by series OF wise,
temperate and patriotic measures, en-.
deavor to convince the people that they
are still worthy the confdoHoo tnat mas

mutton. As the New York Herald re.
marks, II this is not done, the campaign
of 1876 will be q runaway race. unless in.
deed the Democratic House should show
an equal lack of principle and proper
appreciation Of the situation and their
duties. In that case, of the two evils it
would be difficult to tell which was the
lesser.
