been set apart by large majority of the
Christian Church for an especial consideration
of the death Of Christ and of tho events pre-
ceding that death. AS secular observers, with
no interest in one denomination OF another to
serve, we can but say as we have said before,
that we can see no reason why this reverent
observance of certain religious anniversaries
should be condemned as superstition; nor why
people who celebrate the birthday of Wash
ington and the battle of New Orleans to the
increase Of their patriotic fervor should sneer
ut those who strive to Hndle pious devotion

We are curious to see what il to be the ultimate
action of the Legislature on the legal neWspaie r
Job. There never was a more paIpable or more
aggravating little swindle. TO charge several thou
sand dollars for the publication of the calendars
which THE TRIBUNE publishes free and sends
to dozen lawyers for ono that the legal

taxpayers. But when you add to it the
requirement that the advertisements. which the

CANAL CONTRACTS.

When a company undertakes to build rail-
road it invites proposals in such form that
it shall know what tho work is going to cost.
The directors estimate the amount Of labor
and the quantity of materials that will be re-
CURED, but they do this merely for their guild
ance in judging the fairness of the contract
ors' prices, or in fixing the sum Of their capt.
tai. The bargain they make with the build
ers is for the construction of so many miles
of road at such and such price. The State
of New-York builds, enlarges, and repairs
canals upon very different principle -
one which we believe to be unparalleled in
tho business Of any private person. Its engi-
neers make guesses, more or less wild, of the
number Of sh0vels of earth and loads Of stone
that will be found in certain section of
work, and the number of barrels of cement,
feet of lumber and pounds of spikes required
for the completion of the necessary structures,
and then invite contractors to bid upon these
figures. When the bids are all in, the engi-
neers know no more about the probable cost
of the job than they did at the beginning.
Every bid is TO be interpreted by tho quantity
sheet, and OF the correctness, even approx
mate correctness, OF that there is no ASSURANCE
Mt all. Every item In the contract contains an

And the reason he gives is that "no stock

We're it not for tho requirements OF

and uncertainty than they are ut present.

The sueqneharna floods have apparently
spent their force. Although the full extent of
the destruction wrought cannot be ascertained,
it is clear that the damage to property is less
than the people of the inundated towns and
villages had reason 10 fear. 1t is not improb-
able, however. that the gorges rendered sta
tonary by the colder weather of the last few
days, may be the cause not only of new
alarms but Of new losses

There is some reason to believe that the
contest in the Protestant Episcopal Church
over the Rev. DR.. De KOven's candidacy for
Bishop of Illinois is to be fought over again,
and on about the same ground. His friends
now propose to make public an authoritative
statement of his belief and church practices,
which, they claim, have been so misrepre-
scented as to cause his defeat. In the mean
time special Diocesan Convention would be
held in Illinois, and the defeated candidate be
placed once moro before the Standing Com
mittees. The details of this programme,
together With the views of some of DR.. De
Koven's friends who advise different co irse
of action, will be found in Milwaukee letter
printed to-day on another page of THE
TRIBUNE. The rejection of DR.. De Koven
afforded the Rev. Dr. Ever Of this city occa-
sion for sermon yesterday on the revolutions
in the Episcopal Church. 1t will be seen by
our report of this discourse that DR.. Ever took
the ground that the vote of the Standing
Committees on this question shows sub
stantal victory for what he terms the
"Catholio" party. The wonder is, he thinks,
not that DR.. De Koven was rejected, but that
so early in the career of CathOlicity twelve
:" dloceses have dared to vote for Catholic
"and twelve dioceses presumed to vote against
"a Low Churchman.p

A semi-official report of the complexion OF
the Louisiana Legislature under the Wheeler
compromise gives the Senate to the Repub-
licans and the House of Representatives to the
Conservatives. This is nearly all that was de-
manded in tho Conservative claim which was
rejected by the Administration in January at
the points Of Gen. de TrObriand's bayOnets.
The business before the Legislature is COM
plicated however, by the extorted promise
that the crimes of Kellogg shall be cOndOned,
and by certain pledges, the purport of which
is only whispered in regard to the Senatorial
seat now awaiting legally chosen claimant.
The possibilities of Louisiana politics are still,
therefore, both numerous and uncertain. The
next few months will decide whether Kellogg,
Casey, Pinchback, or a Conservative will come
to the Senate next Winter, and it is not i'm
probable that in either case Kellogg will be
superseded in his usurped gubcrnatOral chair
The politicians have conquered the opponents
of the compromise into submission born, no
doubt, of the conviction that their keeping
quiet may lead to an improvement in the
political prospects of Louisiana, while it can
not possibly make them any worse.

From the London letter on our third page
Il appears that DR.. Kencaly has lost no time
I'm bringing his grievances to the attention Of
the British House of Commons. His remark
that he had 10 respect for English Courts of
law was calculated to shock most English
men. and if il were made outside OF Parliament
would probably result in his severe punish
ment. IL must be admitted, however that Sir
Alexander Cockburn's methods OF administering
Justice are not of kind to develop nigh
respect for the courts.

with northern stations We have now the assur-
ance of good data from the most southerly

sent on our third page the official reports from
the observers at Picking and on New-Zeaand,
now first made public. The letter of Prof
Watson contains some new observations on the
atmosphere of Venus which will attract atten-
ton among astronomers.

Canal oues,jop, which the Governor has pre-
cipitated upon the Assembly. is not to add TO
them. MIR. John Kelly has of late been re-
parded by some as wavering in his support
of Gov. Tilden. The interview with him, re-
ported in another column, shows that he Is

The receipts from customs at the Sub-Treas-
ury in this city for the first three weeks Oh
March show a decrease of more than million
dollars from the amount collected in the same
period of last year. The main cause OF the
decrease is the disturbance in the gold market,
though it is not unlikely that other unfavor-
able influences have been at work. For the
first week of the month the receipts were
SO, 712 700; for the second week, S2,932,6OO. and
for the last week only $i,712.OOO. For the
corresponding weeks of last year the receipts
were, respectively, $2,43S,49o; S267l ,4oo, anu
s2,573,OOO. The contrast between the s'eaui-
ness of last year and the rapid and progressive
falling of this year is remarkable, ana nuS'
| be anything but satisfactory to secretary
| BristOw.
The debate in the Senate on Saturday was
| notable for the maiden speeches OF. several of
the new Senators. Mr.. Kernan's was an able,
logical and remarkably dispassionate express
sion of the legal objections to the approval
by the Senate of the Administration policy
in Louisiana. The accession of such lawyers
as Mr.. Herman and Judge Christiancy cannot
fail to be great gain for the Senate in
point of dignity and ability, although parti-
san associations in opposition may prevent
their views having due weight. The votes
taken on Saturday show that the caucus reso-
luton in approval Of the Presidents action
in Louisiana is likely to prevail, unless the
debate goes on so long as to cause its loss by
the absence of some of its unwilling sup
pOrters.

Every right thinking person must COM
mend the Presidents action in the Missis-
slppl matter. He virtually says to Gov
Ames, Why don't You help yourself, why
not exhibit more selfreliance, and use your
own resources, instead of appealing for ex-
traneous aid%' Fancy the governor of Penn
sylvania or the executive of New York call
Ing Tor United States bayonets TO suppress
domestic broils. The former was recently
called upon to meet organized violence in the
mining regions of his state, and acted
promptly and decisively. using his own
troops TO suppress IL. Had he called for
United states troops without exhausting his
own resources he would have made himself
ridiculous In the eyes OF the whole country.
In his case, Gov. Ames has exhibited a.
timidity discreditable in the executive of a
state. He certainly owes IL to himself, no
less than the government, to explain his hot
haste in calling for troops, and the reason
why he so long delayed answering the specific
queries of the Attorney General.

Now that fast mail trains are an accom-
plished fact, ii will be necessary for the tele-
graphic news associations to reorganize their
service, especially in The large cities that are
closely connected by these rapid distributors
OF intelligence. 1t will no longer answer, for
example, for the news collector or agent of
one Of the associations at New \ ork, Phila-
delphia, or Baltimore, to content himself
with making up rehash OF the news In the
morning papers Of either OF those cities and
sending Ii out In the form of dispatches
Tor the afternoon journals of the country.
Under existing mail arrangements these pa
pers themselves are laid down at the princi-
pal points within q radius of two hundred
miles from the place OF publication before the
resume from their columns ia filed i'm the
telegraph office for transmission, and they
are delivered to exchanges as much as two
hundred and fifty miles distant before the
matter so made up has all been received by
telegraph. This will never do. Improve
ments in the dissemination of news by tele
graph must at least keep pace with the pro-
gress made from time to time in the mail
service, or the public will soon learn to look
upon IL as an expensive piece OF machinery
mat has outlived its usefulness except for
great distances. III IL is intended that the
telegraph shall maintain the supremacy it
has held so long, 1t will be necessary for the
