large number of the richest business
firms Of the city have petitioned Gov. TILDHN
to approve the appropriation Of s19,O0O which Is
asked for to support the Court OF Arbitration
Tor the port of New York. The sgners to this
petition represent an aggregate wealth OF very
many millions, yet they have the GOODNESS TO beg
the whole people Of the State TO pay for special
tribunal started for the benefit OF their rich class.
II any body Of men are not satisfied with the
ordinary courts Of justice established for the
whole people, but are allowed TO set up one Of
their own, let them pay for tho privilege. 1t Is
very small business for these great merchants
TO be MISUNDERSTANDING the Governor to aid
them In getting $1,000 out OF the State treasury.
We hope he will tell them so by his action when
the appropriation bill comes before him.

The struggle Of the Spanish Ultramon-
tame party for what Is called " Catholic unity"
il a struggle AGAINST what IA here called religious
freedom. BY the revolution OF 1868 the eccesi-
astical laws of Spain were modified IN the diroc-
ton Of federation, and by the republican revo-
luton OF 1873 full freedom was given TO all
religious bodies in Spain. When the republic
was overthrown In 1874 some restrictions were
placed upon Protestant sects and Protestant
DropaRandism, and a number Of Protestant
churches were closed by the aut horities; but
still there remained measure OF federation,
under which Protestantism had a legal stand
ing. The ultram ontanists now seek 70 restore
the ecclesiastical laws they existed under
ISABELLA ii. There is yerv little probability of
their success under the pressure brought against
them by the Governments OF Germany and Eng
land.

The recent change in the form Of the
Philadelphia LedDtr, by which II is enlarged to
about the size of the Commercial Advertiser Of
this city, affords an agreeable occasion for the
newspapers generally to bestow praise upon the
merits OF that daily publication, and to COM
ment upon ITS prosperity. "The Ledger" says
the Evening Post, is one OF the most successful
newspapers In the country; and 1t has deserved
its success by pandering to no low tastes and
by combining with the convenient presentation
OF the news Of the day, outspoken opinions
on the important questions OF interest" This ia

THE HoUR-GLASS.

Sparkling, dancing downward,
Merrily drop the sands.
While the golden hours so gaily pass,
Amid rose, and lily, and soft green grass
Oh dimpled baby-hands.
Glittering, flashing downword,
In the glow of the April sun. ...
All! sweet white fingers, and sky-blue
eyes,
And cheeks as rosy as western skies,
IT'S pity in Youths first Paradise
That the sands so swiftly run.
Stealing forever downward,
Gray tinging their virgin gold.
Pulses still culver, and hearts still beat,
But the road grows hard for their tired
feet;
Surely the sky had more warmth and
heat,
Aud the sands showed brighter of old
Dropping drearily downward,
The evening is well nigh DER.
The brightest and best the rivers have
crossed,
The bolt is shot, and the venture lost:
The bark on the last long wave is tossed,
The glass needs TO turn no more.
