The Rev. DR.. DEEMS took occasion TO
say, III his pulpit, on sunday, that hishouse
was overrun with persons soliciting him to
give them money or TO procure situations
for them and he added that he did not in
any case furnish pecumiary assistance, he
was not prepared to find situations, and
that # the opportunities with which lie
was oppressed continued, he would move
into the country.
by bringing this subject forward so pub
liclv and conspicuouslv, DR.. DEEMS chal-
lengos discussion OF the property OF the
course which he has adopted, and of that
which he threatens TO pursue.
In no case does DR.. DEEMS give money.

ability. h. must be above the average of

poor"
Why should not DR.. DEEMS do what he
can to obtain situations for those who are
out Of employment, and THUS assist them
in earning an honest livelihood and in
keeping the Ten Commandments Is il
beneath any disciple of CHRIST to engage
in such an unselnsh ana benevolent oocu-

The Nation Paying for Spies on an
Editor.

When the editor OfTHE SIN was summon
ed 10 Washington, by a committee of Con-
gress, 10 give testimony as to the corrup-
tions OF the Navy Department. IT became
apparent to the Secretary OF the Navy that
THE SUN must be suppressed or in some
way crippled, or the great placer which his
department furnished Ia the cOufederates
who were preying omit would be destroyed.
In Mr.. MURTAGH, one of the Police Com
mi,sioncrs OF the District Of Columbia, and
editor of the Washington Republican, the
Secretary found willing ally. Accord
imgiy we read IN the sworn testimony of
Detective MCELFREsII, before the commit
tee of Congress now Investigating the late
District Police, that he, Mo ELFREsH, was
ordered by Mr. CLARvoE, chief of the De
toctive Corps, to follow MIR. DANA, To see
where he went in Washington, whom lie
conversed with, and what he did; that two
other officers, in cit zen's clothing, were
appointed for the same purpose aud that
they reported at the Republican Office.
Teiegrnms were sent to Philadelphia, TO
cause Mr. DANn's arrest there, on MS way
through the city. Copies of these tele-
grams were produced. They were printed
in yesterdays SUN, in our Washington des-
patches.
when Congress is asked for an appro-
priation for the District of Columbia, to
delny the expense OF Its police, il may
be well in the light OF these disclosures, TO
ascertain in advance something Of the
manner in which the money Is to be cx-
pended.
very grave question which arises with
reference to the facts exposed by this tes-
timony is whether the President OF the

this conspiracy to interfere with the free

Carrying Forward the Conspiracy.

DON CAMERON. who, with the aid OF his
venerable sire and the powerful assistance
of the Molly Magures, has despotically
ruled Pennsylvania for some years, pro-
poses. IL is understood, to refer the settle
ment of the Presidential question to the
followers of the Clan CAMERON in his
native state, which is now fully entitled to
dispute with Kansas its title to the appella-
ton Of the Rotten Commonwealth.
In accordance with orders supposed to
have been unofficially issued from the War
Department, the Pennsylvania Legislature
has passed a set of political resolutions
instructing Congress how TO have the cleo
toral vote counted; but this is only
minor incident In the plan arranged for
the Intervention of that State in the decis-
ion Of the Presidential question. The next
move IL TO put the State militia on war
footing, so rs TO be ready at moments
warning to march to Washington in sup
port Of the conspirators who are trying to
steal a President by means of false count
ing, ballot-box stufing, perjury, and
forgery.
In the Republican caucus at Harrisburg
on Thursday last. n member of the Legis-
| lature named Lone informed those pres
ent that he had bill, which had been
| prepared IN Washington, aud had been
| submitted to Gov. HARrRANFT and APP
| proved by him, providing for the appro-
priation of a million dollars TO arm and
| equip the National Guard OF Pennsylva-
MA TO be used in case Of emergency in
Washington. Mr.. LoNG declined to say

clared that II was proposed in Washington
and approved by the authorities there and

was appointed to confer with Gov. HART
RANFT in regard to its passage.

that the conspiracy to count in HAYES was

State troops from Pennsylvania to sup

shows that the rumor was not without

so long submitted to the dctation of the

The course of the Sultan in comforting a
Constitution upon his subjects probably
made different impression upon the rep
resentatives Of different European pow
ers. For England, which prdes herself on
furnishing the model of Parliamentary
machinery, the proposition was spiced
with adroit iialtery. To Russia, which has
never known the blessing of self-govern-
meut, it perhaps carried sting of sar-
Casm. Regarded from an impartial stand
point 1t looks TO us very much as If a
debtor, whose creditors were pressing for
mortgage on particular house, were to
offer with sup RIB magnanimily 10 assign
his whole property to his wife, In whose

scheme seem to have been regulated. The
number of deputies accorded TO each prov

According TO the report Of tho Prison
Commission, life at sing Sing last summer was
a. gay and easy az any losfer could wish for.

tive played games, and peddlers supplied them
with whatever they were willing to pay for,
while the keepers kept goOd-naturedly out OF
sight. or iraternzed with tue convicts.
In October, however, Sing Sing looked
more like prison filled with men SEN
fenced 10 hard labor. Clinton Prison was
somewhat less dem ora.ized than Sine Sing, but
Auburn WAS far better. Our prison system Is
very bad, and we hope the Superintendent the
amendment to the State Constitution authorz )
Will correct the abuses which now So disgrace
IL. WHAT Is needed Is entire impartiality In
dealing with the convicts, less crowding, and
better discipline. There Is nothing 20 subver-
sive OF the objects Of imprisonment as In
equality In the treatment OF couyicts. All should
fare alike, rich and poor; the rights of the
prisoners should be respected by the even ad-
ministration Of justice, and all should be kept
busy. As II has been, our prisons have been
schools OF crime aud institutions wherein men
grew hardened against law and society.
