TIE new constitution made it the duty
Of the Legislature at the first session after
its adoption to fix the compensation of the
Judges OF the Supreme Court, and also of
the Judges of the several judicial districts
Of the State. Although it would not seem
TO be very difficult matter to adjust, and
although 1t has been attempted at each Of
the four sessions which has been held since
ths constitution went into effect, The legis
lAtive wisdom of the commonwealth has
not thus far been equal to the task and the
old salaries remain unchanged. An effort
will be made during the present session, aud
ii 10 to be hoped successfully, to arrive at a
settlement of the vexed ques ion. The
principal difficulty heretofore has been that
the members from Philadelphia and Ale
gheny counties demand higher salaries for
their judges than the members from the
rest of the State have been willing TO con-
esde.

THp Democratic members of the Leg isia-
tare of Kentucky, after piotracted strug-
gle in caucus, last week, nominated and
elected General John 8. Williams as the
successor Of Thomas G.. McCreery in the
United States Senate, The new Senator is
familiarly known rs "Cerro Gordo Will
ANS" for something which lie did, but OF
which we know nothing, at tho battle OF
that name during the Mexican war. He is
man of very considerable ability, but is
charged with holding very loose and OBJ
jestionable views on the binding obligation
OF State TO pay its public debt. 1t may
be that the Charge is false, but if it is not,
the Democracy of the gallant State Of Ken
tucky have committed a grievous error, and
il would bavo been far better for General
Williams II he had died soldiers death
on the heights of Cerro Gordo, than to
occupy seat in the Senate as the adyo.
cate of State or national dishonor.

THE discussion in the Senate Of Mat
thews' silver resolution had not been
brought to CLOSE up to Wednesday even
ing. When the vote is taken upon it,
Bland's silver bill, which is matter Of
much greater importance, u i'll be taken up,
but AS the consideration OF the Matthews
resolution was virtually discussion of the
Bland bill, it is not probable that tie latter
will occupy mnch time. The bill, as We
have before stated, authorizes the coinage
Of silver dollars Of 412t grains, and makes
them legal tender to any amount for all
debts. public and private. which of course
includes the bonds of the government. II
1t passes the Senate in it's present shape.

FNBRp 10 a conflict of views betueen II

fNsRe 10 conflict of views between the
Superintendent of Public Instruction and
the Committee on Education in the House
on the subject Of compulsory education in
the common schools OF our State. In bis
last report, Mr.. Wickersharn states his OBJ
Sccticns to .he project, as he had dUno IN
former reports, and yet the House Com
mit'es on Education has reported bill to
enforce ii. We have no doubt that the
superintendent represents nlne-tenths of
the people Of tho State in the position he
has taken on this question, and that the
legislature will be in accord with him If
the bill which has been reported ever
resches a vote. To establish COMPULSORY y
education in opposition to the views and
wishes or the Superintendent OF Commo
Schools would be about AS effective blow
ss the Legislature could possibly infiict
upon the system.

The Philadelphia Democrats last week
Representative delegates to the State con-
vention. 1t is said that some Of them favor
the nomination OF Gen. AcCandless, the
prctent Secretary of Internal Affairs, for
Governor that others are for Andrew II.
Dill, State Senator from Union county, and
that n few prefer James II. Hopkins, Of
Pittsburgh. As the mex. State convention
will be a most important one, it was ex-
pee ed that the Democracy of Philadelphia
would be represented in it by their ablest
and most trusted leaders. A careful study

TIE inauguration of Gencra. Mcclellan

TIE inauguration of Geaera. Mcclellan
rs Governor Of New Jersey, at Trentos, o"
last Tuesday week, brought 20 that historic
city an Immense crowd Of people, not onfy
from, Al parts of the Stale, but also from
Pennsylvania and New York. As popu-
isr de nonsti alton it was perhaps unequale6
by any display Of similar Kind that has
ever taken place. There 10 something
wonderful in the Wild enthusiasm with
which Mcclellan Is always greeted when
ever he shows himself to.a crowd, aud es-
pecially if any Of The old soldiers who
fought IN The Army Of the Potomac are
present. AS a leading Republican paper of
Philadelphia, in referring to the scenes at
Trenton, says, "Geaeral Mcclellan proba-
bIy has a larger end more enthusiastic fol-
lowing than any other living American.
The people of this country believed In 1862,
and they believe yet, that he was the vic
tim of a series OF base and ignoble persecn
sions by a cabal at Washington, who were
envious of his rising fame and determined
to crush him, and although they succeeded
IN their oowardly purpose for time, there
is still the same magic in his name, and the
whole .souled patriotism and uncompromis-
ing integrity Of the man are deep seated In
the popular heart. His inaugural address,
like everything that comes from his pen,
is well and forcib!y written, but is too long
for publication Ia our columns. On the
financial pulley of the government, upon
which SO many and so eonfiio ing views are
held by the people, General Mcclellan es
pouses the side of hard money and the re-
sumption OF specie payment on the tirst Of
January, 1879, as provided for by the act
OF Congress. The Career Of Gen. Mcclellan
in the new field upon which he has entered
he watched with great interest, not
only by his personal friends and admirers,
but by the people of the whole country.
