ANEW PARTY.-A National auti-secret
society convention was in session at Syra-
cuse, n. Y, several days last week, and
adopted resolutions declaring all secret
oath-bound fraternities, including grangers
and secret temperance societies, consni-
racy against all who do not belong to them,
and standing menace to the religion of
Jesus Christ, expressing opposition to free
masonry, and refusing to vote for masons
for civil Office. They evidently intend
making it political society, and if SO it
will have but short life. The members
should know the history Of the Anti Ma
sonicparty and the Native American party,
and abstain from any attempt to get up an
organization such as they seem TO propose.
The objection is not, as a rule, to secret
social societies, but to any secret societies
that may interfere in the politics and 60
vernment of the country.

WASHINGTON June 9.-The conference
committee on the Banking bill to-day Sc
cured the signatures to the measure of all
the members of the committee except Mr..
Clymer, of Pennsylvania, who seems dis
posed to make fight for the Presidents
hard money policy and early contraction
veiws The subject will be taken up in the
Senate tomorrow and passed by the House
at once, SO as to be sent to the President
at least ten days before the adjournment,
SO as to compel his action on it, if he means
to take the responsibility of defeating it,
as there is now no doubt but that he does.
The securing the approval of Senators
Sherman and Morton to the bills is far
more than any one had supposed could be
done, until the Presidential Memorandum
made it necessary for his party to do some
thing to show that they had policy on
which they are willing to make an issue
before the people against the remarkable
fiscal programme of the President. As
there are so many members of the House
who do not agree to all of the provisions of
the conference committees bill, it is not
unlikely that it will not have large ma
jority in the House, and certainly will not
be able to rally two-thirds vote against a
veto, which will consequently be fatal to it.

THE PEACH CRoP.-We are glad To
learn that the prospects for the peach crop
are good, notwithstanding the alarming
reports about the destruction Of the buds
by frosts, bugs, &c. The Wilmington
Commercial of Friday says:
We have had satisfactory interviews to-
day with large peach-grOwers in the MID
dletOwn district, who gave much more en-
couraging reports as to peaches. Some of
those who, few days ago, were loudest in
their assertions that failure was to be ex-
pected, are now, after an examination,
convinced that they were hasty in their
conclusions. We are now tolG that the
crop in New Castle county and as far down
as Dover. and in Kent County, Nd, still
hold good promise, and the small fruit
which has fallen off will only result in the
production Of better and larger peaches
from the germs remaining.
We were shown this morning some
branches taken at random from an orchard,
and from which the injured peaches had
fallen of, and we found those that remained
were in healthy condition, and quite as
thick as the trees would be able to bring TO
maturity. This, we hope, is fair index
to the general situation,

The election Of Mr.. Scott as President of
the Pennsylvania Central, and Of Mr.. Ro-
berts as vice President, does no. materially
change the personnel Of its management.
The new organization is not composed Of
new men, but of men who have been iden-
titled with its management almost from its
first start in life. Mr.. Scott has been in
The company since it began, Mr.. Boberts
since 1851, and Mr.. Cassatt, the General
Manager, since 1851. All three have
grown up with the road, and are thorough
ly familiar with all its details, and the COM
pany is exceedingly fortunate in having
three such men at its command. Its tinan-
cial condition is superb, and we venture to
predict that, when the people are made
fully acquainted with its resources, it will
be under the new management, to the full
as popular as under the old.

THE PRESIDENTS MEMoRANDA.-ln
another part of this paper we publish the
correspondence between President Grant
and Mr.. Jones, the hard money Senator
from Nevada. on the financial question.
The letter of President Grant has created
considerable excitement in Washington's
political circle, and leading Republicans are
reported as protesting great alarm over the
discovery of the aggressive position OF the
President on the currency question. The
constitution provides, that all expressions
of opinions of this character, shall be COM
municated to Congress in the form OF a
message, and there was naturally some
temper shown by the inhationist, when the
letter of the President, being so wide de-
parture from former precedents, was made
public. They were astonished at the de-
cided manner in which he opposes any pro-
iect that does not embody his particular
views. and have expressed themselves in
as earnest terms as the President They
charge him with the responsibility OF
strangling the currency bill in the house
of its friends, and with adhering to policy
that will drive the Republican party into
the breakers in the fall election. The De-
mocrats are no better pleased than many
of these leading Republicans, except so far
as they profess TO have reason TO hope for
some political change in their favor. Since
the veto of the President, the Senate passed
another bill, which was so amended in the
House of Representatives, that committee
of conference was agreed upon, who waited
on the President to obtain his views, in Or
der that a conflict Of opinion might be
avoided. Nothing satisfactory being ac-
complished, the conference committee is
still engaged in framing a bill, but with
little hopes that it will be signed. Since
then the President has put forth a memo.
randum embracing full set of financial
views of the most extraordinary character,
indicating the repeal of the legal tender act,
abolition of all notes under ten dollars, re.
sumption Of specie payment almost at once,
and so on. OF course this is wholly incom'
patible not only with the interests of the
country, but with the wishes OF the
people. The whole will result in LEAVING
the question alone. We have already one
of the best financial systems the world ever
saw, and specie payments are approaching
quite fast enough for the common veal.

the standard of specie in the trying day
which gave birth to the first Legal Tender
act had the country taken the ground of
no small bills as early rs 1870. Again, l
would provide an excess of revenue over
current expenditure. | would do this by
rigid economy and by taxation where taxa
ton can best be borne.
Increased revenue would work II con-
slant reduction of debt aud interest, and
would provide coin to meet demands on
the Treasury for the redemption of its
notes, thereby diminishing the amount of
bonds needed for that purpose. All taxes
after redemption begins should be paid in
coin or United States notes. This would
force redemption on the national banks.
With measures like these, or measures
which work out such results, I see no dam
ger in authorizing free banking without
limit

CIVIL SERvICE.-It would seem that in
the eyes Of the President, Civil Service is a
failure, as may be evidenced by his course
very recently. The Pittsburg Commercial
has well said
Mr.. Richardson became Secretary of the
Treasury through rigid application of the
Civil Service rules. lie was the Assistant
Secretary Of the Treasury when Boutwell,
resigned, and the President allowed the
Civil Service system full swing in promOt-
Jog the FIRST man below the vacant place
above. When, however, it was found that
a continuance of the same rule would pro-
mote Sawyer to Richardson's place, the
President naturally hung back. That was
little too much, and Civil Service had to
step aside. The Civil Service rules are
beautiful, in theory; but in practice, as in
Richardson's case, dead failure. The
fact that they have been abandoned, in or
der to prevent Sawyer's promotion, is a
strong comment on their inapplicability.
