ARCHBISHOP MANNINe TO LEA CARD

ARCHBISHOP MANNING TO BE A CARDI-
Nal Arch bishop Manning is 10 be made
a cardinal, SO the Iumor runs in cleri-
cal circles in Rome, as our special CORES
pondeLt tells us this week. We hope tEe
news may be true. No bishop in all the
Church more richly deserves high honor
than Dr. Manning. \ Protestant English
paper, the Pail Mall Gazette. said lately,
''since Cardinal Wolsey's time no Catholic
has exerted SO great personal influence in
England" And even his enemies, and the
enemies of the Church, are forced to be
silent or to say that the influence of the
great archbishop of Westminster has al
ways been used for the good of his own
people, ana for the good of his country.
There never was born and patriotic Eng
llahman so well beloved by the Irish people
as DR. Manning, which shows how much
religious difference has had to do in alien
ating the sister islands. Should Archbish-
op Manning be made Cardinal, there will
be an lrishman and an Englishman wear
ing the red hat at the same time. which
has never been the case before Boston
Pilot.

THE annual State election in Con
necticut will take place on next Mon
day. 1t is very close State in warm
political contest, and although the
Democrats at the election one year
ago elected Charles r. Ingersou Gov
ernor, we do not pretend to say that
they Will re-elect him next Monday
All the indications, however, point to
that result, but in State which for
many years has almost annually
changed her executive officer, it would
be extreme folly IN us to express anv
positive opinion as to the result. The
Democrats Of Connecticut are now
showing and always have shown q
firm resolve to conquer in the good
fight. They have heretofore elected
such men as Isaac Toucey, Thomas
H Seymour, and James Z. English,
as their candidates for the highest State
office. This sometimes exceptional
result, together with the brilliant vic
tory recently achieved by the unterri-
fed Democracy of New Hampshire,
inspires the well grounded belief that
the contest in the Nutmeg State
4 next Monday will retain Governor In
B gersol' and the balance of the present
State officers in power, and also that
a majority Of Democrats will be re-
turned to the Legislature on joint bal
lot. We will, however, in this, as in
other State elections, patiently have to
wait for the wagon"

THREE reports have been made to
the Legislature by the joint committee
appointed TO investigate the charges
against a. l. Guss, Superintendent of
the Cassvil!e soldiers orphan school
at Cassvilie. The majority report,
which is signed by Anderson, Rutan,
Collins and Chalfant, of the Senate,
and by Oliver, Young, and Jones, of
the House, does not in direct terms
pass upon the guilt or innocence OF
Mr. Guss, but recommends that the
superintendent OF soldiers orphan
schools discontinue the school at Cass-
Vile and distribute the orphans among
other schools. All three reports were
referred TO the Governor and Superin-
scndcnt Of soldiers orphan schools
for their official action. One of the
minority reports is signed by Mr.. Or
Wis, from Centre county, and Mr Rey-
nolds, from Bedford county, both
Democrats, who make some practical
and philanthropic suggestions in refer
ence not only to the Cassville school,
but to ali other schools Of q similar
character. We publish these recon-
mendations below, believing that they
will meet with general approval:
First-That the proprietorship and con-
troll of the soldiers orphan schools should
be transferred TO the state and state au-
thorities.
Second--That the girls and boys bo edu-
Gated and maintained III schools separately
set apart for each sex.
The state has assumed responsibility
nG to the care and education of soldiers or
phaus which it cannotin justice abandon.
The only question of pressing importance
to be determined by the legislature is the
true interests OF these children. The pre-
sent system of paying to certain proprle-
tors a gross sum for the board, clothing
and education of the orphans makes the
money in crest of the proprietor and the
eifare Of the scholar two opposing prin-
ciples. The care and suSteuance of chill
drcn should never be put to such hazard.
Beside this the character Of a school should
not be imPcriled by prOprietorship sub
jcct to change FOR q money consideration
and practically beyond the control of pro
per authority.
The separation Of the sexes at the age at
which scholars are received and cared for
in the orphans schools is measure of re-
form which we belle ve will commend itself
to the general judgment without argument.
The unfortunate scandal at Cassviilc only
enforces the propriety of q change IN this
respect without originating the reasons
for it.

TIE Legislature adjourned from
Friday last until Tuesday of next
week. This means q long session and
a frfghtful increase Of the expenses OF
the Legislature. There was no posi-
BILE excuse for the adjournment, but
we suppose the party Of moral ideas
will endorse it. 1t would seem to the
average mind not swayed by party pre-
fudice. that when men are elected to
the Legislature they ought to stay at
Harrisburg until their duties are fully
performed 1t used to be SO under
Democratic rule, but the Radical party
has inaugurated Z new order of things
which would be much more honOred in
the breach than the observance.

worth. Credit in general is the offspring
of integrity. Nobody can make it at plea

note, known to carry lie on its face, is
going to be received as on equal value
with coin is simply folly. Not all the laws
that ever were made by the most absolute
of military chieftains, nor all the force
which could be applied to their execution
could ever make any sane man believe that
piece of paper promising to pay gold with
out performance of the promise is of as

TIE Chicago Times remarks that
the simplest, easiest, cheapest. and in
perhaps every respect the best mode Of
initiating the currency was that pro-
posed in the Washington house on
Thursday by Mr.. Cox. His PROPOSE
ton was that congress pass an act de
ciaring every grcenback now in circu-
lation to be a legal tender for three
times the sum expressed on its face.
The effect Of such a measure would be
exactly the same rs an increase Of the
graenback issue to three times the
present amount, and it would involve
no cost of printing and no delay in
giving to the country the benefits" Of
inAation. And vet the house refused
10 entertain Mr.. Cox's proposition.

" Plastering Emma"

The Emma mine, if not the richest in the
world in its yield of silver has comforta-
BILE lode which pans out well for lawyers,
as may be seen by case now pending in
New York court-Williams against the
Nation for libel. The Objectionable article
charged that the plaintiff, after the majority
of the miners had been discharged from the
Emma mine, and while the balance were
acting as an armed guard at the mouth of
the mine, prepared, plastered and en-
grated silver ore on the limestone Of the
mine," through which proceeding Prof.
Silliman was deceived into giving report
the result of which was to defraud the Eng
lish stockholders out of $500, 900; that the
plaintiff was an expert at this sort of thing,
and that, if all were true, he was liable to
be indicted for conspiracy. The defence
set up is that, with equal justice, every
miner engaged in the same transaction
might be indicted; that what was done was
done through the order of others; that the
plaintiff was not an owner, and did not
know that the mine was for sale. No at
tempt it will be seen is made to explain
away the preparing, plastering and ell
grating silver ore in the limestone of the
mine" only that the man under whose di-
rection it was done was no more culpable
than the miners who were paid so much
day as laborers. This is queer logic; but all
sorts Of logic have been emplQYea to boost
until the American minister at the court Of
St. James took shares i'll it and energetical-
ly bulled the stock in London. The fact Of
Prof. Silliman being so egregiously deceived
is not the least singular part of the pro-
ceeding and will serve as first class ex-
ample to show how careful geologists should
be in pronouncing upon specimens sent them
for analysis. No blame perhaps can rest
on the professional reputation of Profess
sor Slliman for the opinion he delivered of
the ore from the Emma mine, and yet this
charge of libel and the defence set up testi-
fies to the fact of gross deception having
been practiced on him, and of the ability Of
plasterers of silver on limestone to deceive
him and others in spite of their geological
and chemical experience of undoubted
skill. Mining, like many other things in
this world, is mighty uncertain, as English
as well as Americans who have flirted with
Emma" have found out sorrowfully to
their cost.

Ireland.

The population Of Ireland decreased by
1, ,622, 319 persons between the years 1S41
and 1851, by 1855, 814 in the next decade. and
1876, ,20S between the years 1861 and 1871.
There is reason to believe that this decrease
by the end of the present decade will have
wholly ceased--that is, that the emigration
will not exceed the natural increase of the
population. The condition of the country
is now really prosperous. Wages have
greatly advanced in consequence of the
limited supply of laborers. The reform of
the land law has had most wholesome eff
fect and not unfrequently Irishmen return
from America with fortunes made there to
take up their abode in their native land.
The aggregate investments in government
stocks, .joint-stoci banks, and savings
banks in 1864 were e54, S8S, 600; but on the
Both Of June, 1878, there were e67, 1862, 600,
an increase of 90 per cent. in ten years.
The value of live stock in 1864 was e30,-
728, ,910; in 1874 it was e37, 225, ,887. 1t is
to be that although in 80 years Ireland has
lost about 100000 of her people, the rela-
tive proportion of Catholics and Protestants
remains almost unchanged. In Munster,
in 1861, 938 out of every 1000 is Catholics;
the proportion now is 936 to each 1000. In
Kerry the Catholics in 1851 were OCT in
each 1000; they are now 96S in 1000. The
old faith does not die out. despite the fact
that the emigrants are for the most part
Catholics.
