A MEETING OF CITIZENS WHO WOULD
SUPPRESS him.


SUPPRESS HIM.
"A large meeting of citizens OF Delaware
Chester and Montgomery counties, in-
Guiding many prominent gentlemen, res
idents on the line of the Pennsylvania
Railroad between Overlook and Down
ingtown, was held at Bryn Mawr, Mont
gomery county, on Saturday last, for the
purpose of devising ways and means to
abate the tramp nuisance and to protect
their fami les and property from the vag-
abonds who ihfest the country districts.
MIR. John Whitney, of Delaware county,
presided. A series of resolutions were
adopted that those present insist that the
proper officers of the three counties pro-
ceed at once to enforce the vagrant act of
May s, 1876, which requires all persons
going from door to door, or placing them
selves in streets, highways or other roads
to beg or gather aims, aud all persons
wandering abroad and begging who have
no fixed place of residence in the town
ship; ward or borough, to be arrested as
vagrants by any constable or other officer
of the peace, upon notice 20 HIM by any
inhabitant OF the township, or on his own
view; aud which provides for commit
ment OF such vagrants for not less than 80
days, nor more than six months, with H.
ability to labor under orders of the over
seers of the poor; aud that the lenient
provisions of this law, which permit of a
discharge after ten days good behavior,
or on the giving of satisfactory security
therefor, should not be applied to other
than exceptional cases, but that for the
future it should be made the general rule
that sentences be served out in full as

What one woman may do, even
though she be fallen sister, is illus
trated in story from Louisville. Two
years or more ago an anonymous let
ter sign.d "Magdalen" appeared in
the Courier Journal of that city which
detailed in singularly simple but elo-
quent words the hapless life of her
class, appealed t. the kind-hearted for
something more than a merely charil-
able Interest in these outcasts and ex-
pressed the writers own sincere inten-
tion to reform. The letter was SO ex-
ceptional of it's kind that the usual
newspaper custom of refusing TO print
anonymous contributions was waived.
and the appeal was given prominent
place. 1t at once aroused very great in
terest and vigorous but fruitless efforts
were made to discover the author.
But it had its effect in the organiza-
tion of society for the succor of the
fallen which met with such prompt
response from the good people of the
town that house was secured ample
means provided for its support, and a
system of personal visits > the homes
of these poor creatures was inagura-
ted. These efforts, we see by recent
report of the society, have been crown
a W
work, Says the President OF the society
"began with but one inmate for the
Home. The number is now seventeen
women and nine iHfants The number
received during the year has been
larger but from time to time they have
either married or been returned TO
their homes. The most successful work
is with young girls. who, after their
first mistep, seeing their folly. go to
the Home broken-heaIte ed and anxious
for the offers of mercy. There are also
within the Home a number of women
who have for years lived an abandon
ed life, they also exhibit the deepest
symptoms Of contrition. One day in
each week the Home is visited by
delegation from tie Young Mems
Christian Association, and at 3 O'Clock
every Sunday afternoon a sermon Is
preached by one of the city pastors.
These services have had the effect of
leading the girls to think about rel.-
gion and within the past two weeks
three of the inmates have made con-
fession of faith in Christ" Of her
whose appeal led to all this it was af-
terwards discovered that she Was the

We agree with our correspondent. There
is no reason why schoolmarms should not
mako good wives, and If the young men
have any prejudice against them on account
OF their profession, they are foolish fellows.
They know how to manage children, they
could not get their places unless they were
intelligent and educated, and they pursue
one of the most honorable cmploymcnts in
which man or woman can engage. The let
ter of our correspondent is neatly written,
and IL she has sometimes failed to designate
the opening of a sentence by Il capital letter,
we have gladly corrected the error, well
knowing that she is not exceptional among
women In SO doing, and thinking just as well
Of her as II she had done the proper thing in
that matter OF grammatical routine We
are glad she does not lack for offers OF mar
riagc, and we trust that her choice is judi
cious, and will lead to all the felicity that is
possible in this uncertain world.

med TO absolve thee from all thy sins in the name

Hero Father MORRILL, forgets to state
that the American rcvscrs struck out both
the rubric and the form OF absolution from
the Office before inserting II In their book,
another evidence, it is believed, that while, to
use their own words, they Wero far from in
tending to depart from the Church of Eng
land in any essential point Of doctrine, dis
ciplnc, or worship" they were equally
far from permitting any other than the
general public confession and dissolution Of
their Prayer Book TO be practiscd
1t is pity, we repeat that these inter-
csting facts were not incorporated in Father
MoRRfLLs graphic and eloquent statement
Of his opinions on the subject Of private
confession, because the omission OF them
might suggest the idea that he has been
wanting in candor and righteousness This,
OF course, no person familiar with his char

however, only one side of this subject has
been handled by the reverend gentlemen
with whom our reporter convorscd; and we

supply and Demand.
We take from the Memphis Appeal the
following argument in favor Of another Pa
ciiir railroad.

following argument in favor OF another Pa
cilic railroad:
"1fanyihns were wanting to prove the necessity for
the Texas Pacific Railroad, from Marshall to SAN Diego
without touching or connecting with HuSrScroN's
called southern line the discriminating Of freight
hy the Central and Union Pacific roads would be sum
ci,ntn
II there is such n necessity, the road will
be built. Whatever material thing there Is
real and adequate need for, will in due
time bc produced. The law Of supply and
demand is sure and Irresistible. As soon as
the necessity is felt, the new railroad will be
created, and then the monopoly rates of
freight will come down.
But our Memphis contemporary means
that the Federal Government ought to inter-
fcrc and build this railroad by subsidies
This Is the sort of necessity which il sup
poses to exist in the case; but it is no ne
ccssity at all. The Federal Government has
no business to build railroads. 1t was not
organized for such n purpose. The Consti-
tuition gives it no authority to do such n
thing. The existing Pacific Railroad was
only built rs n war measure, as something
necessary in order to defend and maintain
the unity Of the country in time of civil war
But this is a time of peace, and there is no
reason whatever for building new railroad
by subsidies from the national Treasury.
The real sense of the argument adduccd
in favor of subsidies for the Southern Pacific
Railroad is not that commerce and the pub
lie interests feel n necessity for such n road,
but that it will be profitable to certain
private capitalists and Spectators. 1t is to
make them rich that the money Of the pco-
pie is to lie taken out Of the Treasury. That
is the only necessity there is in the case.

Private Confession in the Episcopal
Church.

The information respecting the practice Of
private Confession and absplutiOn in the
Protestant Episcopal Church which the Rev.
Farther MORRILL, Of st. Adams Church fur
nishes, through our reporter, will be found
very interesting reading Many members
OF that communion will doubtless be startled
10 learn that private confession has gained
0 considerable footing in this country,
and, according to Father MORRILL,, is even
Oh the Increase 1t is to be regretted that
on this point he was not little more eX-
plct. An estimate, or an approximation TO
one, Of the number Of American clergymen
habtually hearing confessions and giving
private absolution Is what most Epscopa-
lians would bc greatly interested to obtain.
We suppose that the parishes where such
practices prevail are not numerous outside
OF the large cities; and the popular impress
sion Is that even in New York, n prominent
centre Of Ritualism, Episcopal father con-
lessons and pcnitcnts might be counted by
very small figures.
Respecting the authority Of the American
Episcopal clergy 10 hear confession, We can
not but think also that Father MORlaLL' 5
statements are lacking in completeness. He
f. perfectly correct in saying that the An
glican Church permits private confession,
though it does not make it obligatory. That
fact was clearly established in a document
put forth few years ago by Dr. PUsEY,
Archdcacon DLSIsoN, Canon LIDDoN, and
other prominent High Church clergymcn,
entitled q Declaration on Confession and
Absolution, a. Set Forth by the Church of
England. in which it Is shown THAT the
Church left it 10 the consciences Of indi-
yidunls, according to their sense Of their
needs, to decide whether they would con-
fcss or not But a practice permissible in
the Church Of England is not necessarily
tolerated by her ollshoot the Protestant
Episcopal Church Of America. The two
churches differ in various points Of dlsci-
pine, and private confession is one Of them
II is precisely on this point that Father
MORRILL, fails to do justice to his sui Jcct.
While quoting, for instance, the passage
from the EXhortation to the Communion in
thc English Prayer Book: IF any Of you
by this means cannot quiet his own con-
