appeal which we here reproduce, and
which will probably not fail Of gaining its
object:
ave earnestly ask all friends Of the Witness aid us
IN recovering at least the number OF subscribers We

The Witness Is a consistent, industrious,

with ability aud steadiness. We should like
to see ii making more account of the prac-
teal essence Of religion, and joining Tue

reality to what is too often mere pro-
fesson; but we take pleasure in COM
mending it as it is. 1t will be remembered
that, some time since, being in financial
embarrassment, the Witness called upon
evangelical people to raise money TO carry
it through. The success OF that call af-
fords encouragement to the belief that

We learn also upon high authority that
the young editor of the Tribune, disguised
with the shameful part he has played rs
the stool pigeon Of JAY GOULD, is endeav-
oring to interest religious capitalists sufIi-
GENTLY TO induce them TO advance the
enormous sum Of money, from $500, 900 to

out GoULDs control Of the Tribune, and

Finance Committee, where the mysterious
murder of 1874 was done on the similar
section in the act OF 1870. Still, there was
general suspicion that even the hardest
OF MACREY's slaves would falter when
II came TO a square vote. But the com
mittee reported it back, and Mr.. AL
BRIGHT moved TO amend 80 that IL
should he the duty of the Treasurer TO re-
port, not interest only on the public
money, but the premium, bonus. or con-
sidera,ion received by the state Treasurer

the Democratic Senators seem to have re-
garded this provision as very necessary,
inasmuch IA TTeasurers sometimes receive
large brides, as In the JONES case, for
placing the public money in banks from
which their friends can borrow IL.
But 1t was too much for Mr.. MAcKEY's
Senators. They bristled up all of n sudden,
and with the most astonishing dignity, Mr..

nant speech. lie denounced the ALBRIoHT

Of immaculate Republican statesmen,

The Treasury Ring in the Pennsylva-
MIA Senate.

The effort to bring the Pennsylvania
Treasury Ring TO some kind of terms has
been renewed in the Legislature. But it
seems nearly hopeless; the Senate is still
In the hands Of MAcKEY and KEMBLE; and
the corrupt practices by which the will of
the people Is continually Daflied by these
msolent bosses; are doubtless being carried
Nn as usual.
IT will be remembered that in 1874 Mr..
hAcKEY, having remarkably convenient
Finance Committee in the Senate, en-
ployed it very adroitly in causing the sur
rOptitious and fraudulent repeal OF the
troublesome act OF 1870, which required
him W make monthly reports TO the Au-
ditor-General, giving III detail the amount

provision was reGnacted the other day by

which required the Treasurer not only to

principally caused by the continued assault on

their lofty pinnacle o1 exaltation they have mis-
represented and malignel him until his friends,

American newspaper. Yet II often ap-
pears. The shyness shown by some OF our
contemporaries In the treatment of Mr..
DEECnER has been positively saddening.
He has relied on it and proflted by II. OF
course the Tribune sold out to him, for
that is its way; but other journals, of hon
orable pride, seem to have stood in fear of
his hodge-podge array of friende. That
Is n fatal mistake. Such friends can neither
help nor harm a newspaper, but Keeping
silent while an adulterer and a perjurer
faunts his impudence before the public,
does do great harm. The man should
have received teri ifio broadside from the
whole New York press. II is n reproach
against our civilization that he has not
been scourged with the lash OF every news
