THE following resolutions have been
introduced in the Pennsylvania Senate
and referred to the Committee on Fed
eral Relations. 1t is thought they will
pass:
Resolved, That our Senators in Congress
be instructed, and our members be request
ed, to use their power and influence to
secure the passage Of a bill to remonetize
silver.
Resolved. That our Senators be instructed
and our mem bers requested, to take such ac-
ton as will tend To result in the earliest
possible constitutional liquidation of the
Government bonds in which the national
banks are predicated, by the substitution
or payment thereof in legal-tender notes
usually denominated s'greenbacks."
Resolved, That our Senators and Repre-
sentatives be Instructed to use their best
efforts to make the entire issue and circula-
ton of the so-ealled grCenbacks legal-ten-
der for all debts, dues and demands, except
In such cases as the original contract may
provide otherwise.

life are caused in this way. A law re-
quiring the companies to construct fences
on either side of the track and to keep
them in repair would be humane pro-
vision, and would protect persons as we'll
as property; and in the end, would be
more economical for the companies them
selves.

ANeeded Amendment.

The Legislature has been in session
Just one week. Its first business was to
place itself in condition for work
which it did promptly. The committees
have been appointed with view to the
peculiar fitness Of the members for the
duties assigned them. One of the first
acts of the Senate was to decide whether
a Constitutional Convention should be
called, and without wasting time in discus
ing proposition to that effect was re-
iected. But this does not follow that 10
changes are to be made in the organic
law. Others are needed and we have nc
doubt the Legislature will take due note
of them. Prominent among the rest, Is
an amendment to hold State and county
elections at the same time elections for
members of Congress are required to be
held by the Federal law and thus to dis
pense with the trouble and expense of
annual elections. During Radical rule
in this State, the Democrats arrayed
themselves solidly against such propo-
sition. The reasons at that time were
good and sufficient. By Federal law the
United States Marshal is authorized to
attend at the polls with his posse, and
the United States army is placed at his
bidding under pretense of providing
against intimidation, but really to act as
electioneering Instrumentation the Repub-
lican party. To be rid of this Infamous
machinery in their State and local cleo
tons, the Democrats persistently voted
against any amendment bringing the
Congressional and State and county cleo
tions together But the circumstances
have entirely changed. The people
have broken the rod of their oppressors
forever. They have wrested their Gov
eminent from the hands of the spoilers,
in spite of the military power of the
| Government. General Grant confessed
his impotence to hold the Southern
States longer in subsection to the militia
ry power against the will of the people,
and had initiated the policy which MIR.
Hayes has carried out by removing the
troops Military supervision no longer
exists. The States are RENTED to the
control of their own affairs. In 1875
Congressional elections were held, AND
even then, though the iron hand of Grant
welded the sword Of the nation, the PEG.
pie triumphantly asserted their,right to Sc.
lect their own Representatives. Without
mourning the least hazard to the right Of
free elections, the Legislature may, al
this session, initiate the proposition for
the proposed amendment. The people
have weathered the storm, and they are
anxious for all the repose they can safely
enjoy, without imperilling their welfare,
from the agitation consequent upon fire.
quent elections. In other times and I'm.
der different circumstances, we combat
ed the amendment which we are now ia
voring; but the times and the circum
stances have entirely changed, and it is
the part of true craftsmanship to change
with them. At all events, we insist upon
the Legislature giving the people an OPP.
portunity to express their will at the
polls. The cost in the mode prescribed
by the Constitution will be small, and il
is their sovereign right to be heard

THE Senate has rejected the nomina-
ton of Mr.. Henry Musgrove as one of
the Trustees of the Lunatic Asylum; and
it has acted wisely. 1t is not sound poll
cy to place Republicans in positions of
influence and responsibility, if the Dem
ocratic- Conservative party intend to keep
control of the State and county govern
ments, and it is we'll for the Senate and
House of Representatives to make their
determination in this regard known of all
men in manner so emphatic that it will
not be misunderstood. In a word, the
meaning of the vote is, that no opposer
of the Democratic-Conservative party
need apply.

REPUBLICANIsM In VERMONT.

The harmonious action of the Vermont
Republican Convention dispelled what
ever apprehensions the spirited canvass
which has been going on the past week
respecting the candidacy has created.
All the elements, after consultation,
united upon Col. Red6eld Proctor as the
candidate for Governor, and the hearty
enthusiasm of the convention give assur-
ance that the gallant Republicans of that
stanch Republican State will roll up one
of their magnificent majorities next
September.
The platform of.the convention is brief
but comprehensive. Its Endorsement of
the Administration. in its general policy
and motives. carries with it an approval
of the financial policy of Secretary Sher-
man and his determination to bring the
country to specie basis. 1t approves
all of the efforts of the Administration
to secure administrative reform and ac-
cords to the President that honesty Of
purpose and motive to which all fair.
minded men will concede that he is
entitled.
AS Vermont is one of the first Repub.
lican States to speak this fall, the coun'
try will look with more than usual in
terest to see if the Republican ranks
stand by the old Republican faith. Il
is not enough, therefore, that the Repub
licans of Vermont elect their ticket
They must see to it that Vermont makes
her devotion to Republican principles
emphatic by an old time majority

One fact is mentioned in recent dis
patches from Washington which is pro-
phetic. 1t is said that some of the
holders of bonds. in lately cashing their
coupons, declined to receive gold, but
asked for greenbacks instead. The pre-
MUM for gold has sunk so low that they
deemed it no object to peddle in it, but
preferred to receive bills. This is as
we have supposed. Once bring green
backs to par and thousands would prefer
them on the score of convenience. When
gold ceases to bear bonus multitudes
will dislike to be burdened with more
than a single specimen. And this will
help the work of resumption. Hundreds
who could exact interest from the gov
eminent in gold will content themselves
with United States notes. The column,
therefore, of which that vaporing bank
official in New York spoke few weeks
ago, that were going to besiege the doors
of the sub-treasury on resumption. will
dwindle into feeble band when they
find they can get all the gold they desire
for such bills as they happen to hold
Few will wish to hoard when gold ceases
to bear premium. and thousands viii
willingly let it lie in the treasury vaults
if they can have confidence that the.
can command it at any hour on presenta
ton Of the greenbacks.

skillful management of a minority in
such way as to completely battle the ma
jorlty, until they had been forced to
show their hand SO Enthusiastically that
none need be left in doubt as to the i'm
port of last weeks conflict. He did all
that could have been done, and though
finally overcome by sheer force of num-
bers, he succeeded in placing the Demo-
cratic party on record as an incendiary
and disturber of the peace. He has nev-
er failed to vindicate the judgment that
has many times heretofore dictated his
selection as the leader of his party in
trying emergencies and his discreet
management, last week, by which Dem
ocracy was forced to purchase a victory
at price it can i'll afford to pay, secur-
ed the warmest commentator of friends
and forced the respect of his enemies.
1t should not be forgotten that this is
more than a party question in which a
few politicians are interested. Our pros
perity. every vital interest, the revival
of business, if not the perpetuity OF Re-
publican institutions, are involved but
it will take the united protests of the
whole country to force the mischievous
demagogues and self-seeking fellows now
running the Democratic side of the Ma.
tional House of Representatives, to de.
sist from their revolutionary programme.
Another proof of the totally unscru.
pulous character of the House majority
is furnished in the report of Ellis from
Committee on Elections, that Rainey
(colored) Republican Representative
from South Carolina, who was elected
by 5000 majority, is not entitled to hi'
seat because troops were at the polling
places on election day. 1t is another
expedient devised without the least re
gard to law or equity to retain contro
of the next House.
No funeral occasion in this country
probably, ever called out such an at
tendance of representative men of almos
every calling in life, as that of Professor
Henry, last Thursday. UNDINE.

ENCoURAGING.-One of the encour-
aging signs in respect to our business
prospects is to be found in the fact that
there is no falling off as yet in our ex-
ports, as has usually been the case at
this season of the year. The bulk of our
cotton is marketed before May, and the
new crop is yet growing in the fields.
But cotton has ceased to be our main ex-
port. Besides petroleum, which is repre-
sented to be the second product of our
land in value for foreign consumption,
grain and -four, butter and cheese, beef
and pork, have become prominent articles
of shipment, They fill almost every O.
cean steamer, and rise to the value of
scores of millions of dollars. And in ad-
ditioD to these, agricultural implements
and textile fabrics are abroad every
week. Last week cotton goods to large
value were shipped. Half million dol
lars worth were sent from New York and
Boston. And in some respects manu-
featured goods are specially profitable tc
be exported. Like granite and ice they
lessen not the fertility of our soil. Ev.
cry cargo of -four or corn takes away sc
much of the richness of our virgin terri
tories, and transport it to some Other
land. A bale of cloth, however. repre-
sents in the main so many days of labor
and skill.

part of the Russian Government as will
at least open the way for an amicable
settlement of the questions in dispute.
The Count, as Russian Ambassador to
England, has an opportunity to exert a
notifying influence upon both govern
ments, and he is said to have won the
Gar over to the acceptance of his views.
On his way to and from st. Petersburgh
he stopped at Berlin and had conferences
with Bismarck, which shows the cordial
feeling existing between the German
Emperor and the Gear.

The Hartford (Conn.) Courant, in
speaking of the result of Mr.. Moody's

there have been about eight hundred ad-

directly to the Moody revival, and it is
thought that the number will be increase
ed to over one thousand. The effect of
the meetings extended outside of Hart
ford, of course. and probably the church
es in the neighboring towns will have
received accessions so as to bring the to-
tai number of conversions, which can be
accounted for, up to at least fifteen hun
dred.
