Congress has very often and very lately,
the United States is very important part Of
the law-making power. His Legislative ca
pacity, stated at its lowest quantity under the
constitution, is equal to the difference be-
tween majority vote and two-thirds vote Of
both houses, and at its highest, considering
the political difficulty Of getting two-thirds
vote in favor of any measure, his capacity
practically outdoes that of both houses to-
gether. 1t is to be hoped this fact will be
kept in view by the gentlemen who are Just
now sharpening their quilts or picking out
new steel pens to deprecate the course of the
by his letter to Senator Jones, of Nevada
what should be done in the way of financial
legislation.
With the financial board practically cleared
by the veto, only the views of the veto were
left as instructive indications of what legis-
lation might proftably be ventured upon.
That also was, in effect, dictation to Con-
gress, but one strictly within the forms Of the
law. Congress, however, was not disposed to
profit by the very plain differences deducible
therefrom. 1t has made much of its idols
ever since, and has made little progress to-
ward the solution even Of those financial
difficulties which it can solve or help to solve.
1t was plain that law without distinct provis-
ion for redemption, or one looking to it, would
only meet the fate Of the vetoed bill. Yet over
this sine qua non for any bill that may hope to
pass the President, Congress has higgled and
chartered like committee of impecunious old
burghers buying cheap fish of pedler very
late on a warm day. They criticised the fish
numerically, and offered cent pound
lower every time their eyes contemplated some
new deficiency in the article, and when the
odor forced itself upon them they were
inclined to relinquish the bargain altogether !;
yet buy they must, and the quandary they
were in between this necessity and their dis
inclination to the bargain seemed IRENE
diable.
Now, however, Senator Jones, of Nevada,
has secured the Presidents consent to the
publication of q memorandum which is sup
posed to present clearly the views entertained
by the President as to what financial legisla-
ton is necessary. Congress may take notice
or not of this memorandum; but we fancy il
will not be without influence on the minds OF
those practical legislators who wisely deem il
an Improbable fact for Congress and the
President to be at cross purposes on topics
where progress can be made only by common
agreement.
The great point Of the Presidents memo.
randum is its agreement with the veto on the
leading fact of our financial condition-the
necessity of taking steps toward redemption
and resumption. Perhaps the steps proposed
are not the best, but they are scarcely yet in
the domain where their discussion can be Of
public advantage.

Among the topics chosen to-day Of peculiar
interest to ladies is that on which DR.. Miller
will talk this morning-''The Mother-in-Law
Against Her Daughter-in-Law." 1t is gener-
ally assumed that those personnges are con-
stantly arrayed against each other, and if DR..
Miller can give some good reason why they
should or should not be thus arrayed he will
no doubt confer favor on perhaps o number
Of mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law who
may attend his service this morning. Dr.
Fulton, of Brooklyn, has chosen another sub
ject also full of interest to women. "The
Possibilities OF Christian Womanhood" is a
theme that ought to command the attention
Of the class Of persons for whom IL is de-
signed. And, while other pastors devote SER
mons by the dozen or the score to young men,
il is pleasing to know that at least one does
not ignore the other sex. The Doctor will
preach in the morning on 1.-THE Heavenly Rec
ognition," on which topic very little that is new
can be said. But il is well sometimes to
bring old truths to our remembrance. And
the ladies themselves will have a talk this

explain the rationale Of priesthood. If the
first had been well established there should
be no need Of the latter. Given the sacrifice,
there must be the priest; but since Christ
offered Himself once for all, the argument OF
Paul Is that there is nothing left for the priest
to do in the sacrifcial line. And Paul is con-
coded to be pretty good authority, except with
ritualists. tt@

or financial quacks in charge Of the public
funds There are plenty of honest, honora-
bic and capable men in the city who would
accept the Office of Mayor and bring vigor,
enterprise, intelligence, experience and integ-
rity to the discharge of their official duties.
Colonel Henry G. Stebbins, Mr. William But
Ter Duncan, Recorder John X. Hackett and
many others we might name would make the
Mayoralty of New York something more than
huge joke or harbor Of refuge for obscure
political tools and personal friends These
gentlemen all have character, position in
society, experience in business, familiarity
with city interests and established integrity to
recommend them to the confidence Of the
community and to give assurance that their
rule would be one Of broad iberalty
and intelligent progress as we'll as Of
the strictest honesty. In the Mayor
now centres the responsibility for the rest of
the city government; and, with any one Of the
citizens we have named at the head Of the
municipality, it would not be difficult task
to procure such an amendment Of the city
charter as would enable the Mayor to make
new appointments in all the departments
The political parties cannot too soon under
stand the necessity Of nominating some such
candidates in the next election. The mis-
chievous humbug of the mo party cry is
now well understood People understand that
with one political party or the other in sole
authority in the city there is better chance
Of good government than with our
present municipal harlequinade. But this
does not interfere with the nomina-
ton of thoroughly independent citizen
as party candidate. Colonel Stebbins, Mr..
William Butler Duncan and Recorder Hackett
are all democrats in the best sense Of the
word, and the Tammany leaders could not do
wiser thing than to place the name Of one
of them at the head of their ticket next No
vember. A Tammany revival is anticipated,
but the organization is not yet strong enough
to follow the old practice of forcing wornout
hacks or characterless ward politicians on the
people under the pressure of party obi
cations. The days of Tweed are not yet
forgotten, and, although the "reform" govern
ment is fast rivalling the old "Ring"
in infamy, the taxpayers are not prepared to
jump back again from the fire into the frying
pan. If Tammany will compel the old politi-
cal aspirants to stand in the background for
the present. and will adopt such leader as we
have suggested, the democracy will probably
carry the city and the State next November
and enter on the race for the next Presidency
without being too heavily handicapped. The
earlier in the season The democratic managers
learn these truths the better it will be for the
party and for the city.

JEROME PARK.-Yesterday was the first day
Of the season at Jerome Park. The day,
though somewhat heavy, was not unfavorable
to racing. The racing was good; and the
crowd was large enough to encourage the
American Jockey Club in the belief that its
enterprise and energy are fully appreciated.
Jerome Park is growing in popular favor. 1t
is rapidly becoming to New York what EPSON
Downs is to London.

to the evidence before the Grand Jury in rela-
ton to Mr.. Stern's purchases of dry goods
for the Department of Charities and Correc-
ton, of which he is q commissioner. As the
evidence has been kept secret heretofore we
offer it as q due to the Commissioners OF Chair

vestigation of the department. Will they in
quire especially into the facts connected with
the payment of bills alleged to be fraudu-
lent after their suspected character had been

Will they also inquire in what amount these
goods were purchased, and in what amount
the bills were sent to the Comptroller? And
will they let us know whether any of the bills
bear evidence of fraudulent alteration?

There is little that is new or peculiarly in.
teresting in the religious press this week.
The Independent opens its batteries against
the admission of New Mexico into the Union
of States, chiefly on the ground that Senate
rial representation gives preponderance Of
power in the general government to th>
minority of the population. favors Senate
rial representation according to population.
The Christian Union fires random shot at
the proposition to complete the Washington
Monument at the capital in time for the Cen
tennial Exhibition. 1t thinks that monument
is the most conspicuous failure within the
municipality of Washington, where there are
many failures
The Liberal Christian glories over the pros
pect of the Unitarian purpose to plant six new
churches this year in six of the principal cities
in the United States. tt
The Baptist Weekly riddles the platform of
the Boston Brewers Convention against the
temperance crusaders and thinks that their
address will enlighten any one who doubts
that beer muddles mems brains"
The Observer discusses the Bowdoin College
rebellion, and, while it thinks the military
drill might be dispensed with, the discipline
Of the college should be maintained at any
cost But the war is now over, the students
having signed again their matriculation pledge.
The ErGmainer and Chronicle charges the 70
cent burning of four poor creatures at Sinaloa,
Mexico, as the natural result of Catholic civ
ilization when uninterfered with. It con-
siders the Roman Catholic Church as "ths
most stubborn and inveterate foe of enlighten-
ment, as Mexico and other Spanish republics
have found to their cost"
The Tablet goes into an elaborate review Of
reasons why the devotion to the Sacred Heart
has spread SO rapidly over oil the earth. The
Cathoac Reuieo cites a conversation between
Bishop Ryan and an Episcopalian clergyman
to show the difference between faith and opin-
ion. The latter would change his church on
the testimony of Paul or an angel from
heaven; the former would not.
The Working Church has an admirable
leader on the nature and manifestation of true
charity among differing denominations.
The Jeaoish Messenger continues it's excellent
articles on the needs of Judaism in this city
and country. Its present and pressing need
this week is normal school in connecticut
with its free schools. It also laments the lack
of interest shown by its corelgionists in the
publication of Hebrew literature. Out Of
eighty thousand Jews only one hundred
and fifty are enrolled in favor Of
publishing society. The Je,oish Times calls for
aid for the starving Israelites in Palestine, and
the Hebrep Leader gives q reason why Jews do
not quarrel as Christian sects do-they have
too much common sense to allow it.

The ECCLESIASTICAL DIFFICULTY IN Bo-
HxNnA-Some time ago We wee made aware
of the fact that the Austrian Empire had fol-
lowed that of Germany in its legislation in
ecclesiastical matters. From our news of this
morning it will De learned that in some Sec
tons Of the Austrian Empire the new laws are
not much in favor. In Bohemia, the land
inseparably associated with the memory of
John Huss, one OF the first Of the Reformers,
the laws ore in bad odor. The laws are severe
on the Catholic Church, and the episcopal
authority is armed and up in open resistance.
We shall not be surprised to learn that
Bohemia has proved itself strong enough to
resist what it calls tyranny in ecclesiastical
affairs. Now that Bismarck is toning down,
Francis Joseph cannot afford to be too severe.

Political Notes.

Four parties have entered the political field in
Nebraska and others are expected to come to
time shortly. The Temperance men meet Sep
tember 2, Republicans September 8, lndepen-
dents September 8, and Democrats September
TO- When all parties are duly marshalled for
battle lively skirmish will be opened for the
seat of the Rev. Mr.. Upton in the United
States Senate.
Andrew Johnson's prospects for succeeding
Brownlow in the United States Senate are very
promising. Mr., johnson is aiming to take the
Democratic leadership of the South, and one of
his chief claims is that he is in favor OF paying
the national debt in greenbacks.
In almost every Congressional district in Illi-
nos the Republicans, Independents and Demo-
Gratis have called separate conventions, and in
many of them there will be three candidates.
Ex-Governor Washburn, OF Wisconsin, Gays
the Chicago Tribune, has returned from Europe
Just in time to assist in the autumn elections.
Senator Carpenter is doubtless confident that
he could have managed quite as well without 80
dangerous an ally.
General VIM. Cogswell, the chosen champion
OF the anti-Dutler men in the sixth congression-
al district of Massachusetts, is said to have con-
scented to be a candidate for the Republican
nomination.
The Salem, (Mass.) Gazette says it is the gem
eral impression in the sixth congressional dis
trict in Massachusetts that Geu. Butler will be a

could be made against him if his opponents
could unite upon Republican candidate.

beautiful day it was. The turnout of the chill
dren was very full. Meeting at the church al
leaving it in carriages and wagons, away thy
went up the Creek road, Newarks beautiful val
hey and pleasure travel, until they arrived at the
place designate1-Lovers Retreat. The spot il
very well named and a more beautiful place
could not be found, being ~ miles
from Newark and owned by Mr. Chambers,
OF Philadelphia who comes down each summer
to spend the summer months. The party spread
in all directions; while some exercised Them
selves in putting up table for the eating de-
partment or dining hail. which certainly showed
the wisdom of the builders, for when the bell
struck for dinner, coming in they found every
thing the palate would wise. Had the table not
been strong we do not know what the co1se-
quence would have been, and all did ample JUS
tice by the looks of the empty plates and dishes.
Then DR.. Suddard, of Phila., made q very pretty
address to the children, and was listened to by
all present. The singing of hymn fol-
lowed The children were again
dismissed, scattering themselves, some playing
ring-toss very pretty innocent game, croquet,
trap and bat, and other games. Dir. kollock

part making the pic-nc grand success. Mr:
Homewood Arthur Chillas, Joseph Fisher and
others very kindly furnished the teams and car
riages for tine conveyance of the party from the
church to the ground. Coming home the day
came near finishing up very badly from the fact
of the Inch pin of one Of the wagons coming
ont hlartlu,
The latter was somewhat bruised. The pin WIS
found, put in again, and all getting aboard, they
came into town in good time, nothing else hap
pening to mar the pleasure of the day.
