THE peculiar tribunal known as the Court
of Hastings was resuscitated in London last
month for special purpose. 1t is court OF
record, and the supreme judicature Of the
city of London. For centuries it was held
weekly on Tuesdays, and the Lord Mayor
and Sheriff presided as judges. Two sorts
of causes were pleadable, pleas OF land and
common pleas. Deeds also were enrolled,
recoveries passed, and writs of right, waste,
partition, dover, and repleyin determined
The business for which it was resuscitAted
on the 23d ult. was the enrolment of two
deeds declaring the trusts in which Sir Albert
Sassoon has recently set apart 2,700 rupees
for the purpose of founding two scholarship:
in connection with the City Of London
School. The Lord Mayor and the Sheriff
went to Guildhall in state to attend the
ceremony, which lasted but few minute:
and consisted of the relation of the trust:
upon which the scholarships were conferred
and of the subsequent enrolment CT the
deeds in question. ''' i5il

A PENNSYLVANIA paper has found out
that women are the cause Of the panic and
the financial depression which followed. This
remarkable discovery was made by looking
over certain dry goods bills, and figuring up
how much more 1t costs than it once did to
build a woman's gown. Families, says this
sapient editor, who could live in former
times on a thousand dollars a year require
three thousand now. In accounting for the
increased expense wouldn the Pennsylvanian
do well to take into consideration the facts
that cigar which once cost three cents now
costs twenty. and that the price OF drinks"
has risen from six cents to twenty-five? 1t
is possible that the increased cost of these
necessaries materially swells the "household
expenses" -

Quite likely the next Democratic National
Convention will be held at Charleston; and
who knows but history will repeat itself by
the appearance of Jefferson Davis once mole

Burlington, Vt, Free Press.
The leading Democratic organ of Ohio has
philosophical way of stating things. 1t
says: "The tendency of the New England
mind is toward the Republicans" That's so.
When the Republicans were in authority
in New Hampshire, a law was passed that at
elections the polls should not be kept open
after half-past six O'Clock in the evening.
The Democrats, who like darkness rather
than light, last year passed a law that where
they choose, towns or wards may keep the
poHs open until midnight. That the pur-
pose of the law is to facilitate the perpetra-
tion of frauds is clearly shown by the fact
that in those wards in Manchester and Ports
mouth where frauds were anticipated, the
Democrats kept open polls until late hours.
"rhe people of New Hampshire have
spanked the Democracy of that state and
sent it to the foot of the class, just as they
do Republicanism when things go badly in

THAT was a pleasant scene in the Penn

tives Friday evening, aud one calculated to
delight the "reformers." An attempt was
made to reach certain bill which fixed the
rates of boomage. Desperate opposition
was made to it, and when the bill immedi-
ately preceding it was reached the greatest
disorder prevailed. Members gathered in
knots, stamped across the floor to deaden the
sound cf the reading of the bill. brought
cigars and liquor into the hall, and finally
turned off the gas. During this scene the
presiding officer smoked, the members black

THE amendment to the postal laws which
passed Congress on the last night of the ses-
sion is certainly oppressive and unjust, doub-
ling as it does postage on every kind ofpostal
matter except letters, and papers mailed from
the office of publication. Several of the jour-
nails which condemn the change, throw the
responsibility upon Senator Hamlin, who re-
ported the amendment. But Senator Ham,
lin and his colleagues evidently did not sus-
pect the full bearing of the amendment, be-
lieving it referred to merchandise only. Mr..
Hamlin directly made that statement, and
the Senate voted with that understanding.
So the passage of the amendment seems to
have been a blunder and not wilful imposi-
