1t is reported 10. official circles at
Washington that President Hayes has
agreed to ''hedge little" in his plans
and policies, in order to conciliatc the
opposition in the Republican party.
He has concluded, in the first place,
not to appoint any one to take the
Office of the collector of the port OF
New York, and nominations for many
other positions will be withheld for the
present. Such concessions are not only
wise, but they are of prime necessity
if The President intends to lead his
party into future political campaigns
or assist its leaders to secure victory
hereafter. The modified plan Of oper.
atoms will keep ambitious Southern
Democrats quiescent, without taking
from the people Of that section the
right to peace, and local selfgovern'
ment, and party and people alike will
be better served and suited.

That which is still called society IN
New York is still exercised over the
circumstances connected with the mar,
riage of Thomas Lord and the widow
Hicks. IF all the circumstances were
known, the interest in the matter
outside of the Lord family, would
have ceased with the event, but the
truth is, there is mystery enshroud-
ing the whole affair. 1t is known that
the knot tied was double bow knot,
as the pair were married both by Car
dinal McCloskey and a Protestant
Episcopal clergyman-the Rev. DIR.
VanKleck-but that is all that is
vouchsafed to the curious public. as
the loving couple have declined to
make even their whereabouts known.
and thus continue to be objects Of alb,
sorbing curious interest.

In Peru the Chinese immigration Is
encouraged by the government and
favored BY the people. There are
seventy thousand Cinnamon already
in that country, and direct steam COM
munication is to be established for the
purpose of facilitating further immicra-
ton. The Chinese not only make
faithful house servants and common
laborers. but take readily to trade and
industrial employment Of higher
grades. Many of them have become
converts to the Catholic faith and
have married Peruvian women Of the
lower classes. They are allowed the
privileges of citizenship, and the bulk
of them are becoming naturalized in
order to avail themselves of this priv.
ilege.

Though there has been no very
great religious events to speak Of
during the year just past, it has been
one Of more than usual prosperity to
American churches. the leading de-
nominations reporting large gains.
The Methodist Episcopal church re-
ports net gain Of $4,000 members,
against $1,000 last year, and the
Protestant Episcopal church has in
creased its members by about l3, 800.
Even the Dunkers report more re-
cruits than in any other year of their
history. The Episcopal General Con
vention i'm Boston, and the National
Congregational Council at Detroit
have been the important religious con
ventions Of the year in this country,
while the Pan-Presbyterian Council al
Edinburg has been the international
event in this direction.

SAYS the New York Sun: The Rev.
DR.. John Hall spoke on Sunday with
some feeling about the criticism Of the
newspapers upon the church for its
harboring of bad men. He contended
that no amount of money would pur.
chase church membership for q man
who was morally unsound.
We do not deny the truth of this.
We think, however, that DR.. Hall
was wrong whsn be twitted the newe.
papers with not having themselves ex.
posed the scoundrelly church members
whose conviction as forgers and EN-.
bezzlers has giver rise to the present
discussion. Though the newspapers
did not directly bring to light the
crimes of these religious frauds, they
yet contributed to their discovery and
punishment by persistently and vigor
ously denouncing the loose CONNER
cial morality which has been 60 preva'
lent since the war. They gave the
public warning, and moulded its opin
ion and sentiment, 90 that q sort o.
thievery committed BY respectable
men. and which hitherto has gone un'
punished. Is at last visited with the
penalties of the law. Did the churches
lend . hand in this good work ? Were
they Is earnest to push It forward Al
the newspapers?

The late Chief Justice Chases
mother once bore her part in a little
comedy which was almost Shaksperean.
With her husband she was visiting
two of his brothers, who were also
married. The three gentlemen, sitting
and talking together, made some
playful wagers on the subject Of their
wives tempers, and agreed to test
them. So walking into the room
where the three ladies were seated at
the fireside making caps. which at
that time were very fashionable. the
trial began. The first brother. after
some sighting remarks concerning
caps in general and his wife's handi'
work in particular, commanded her
to "throw it in the fire." Naturally,
the indignant lady paid small atten.
ton to the order. The next brothers
attempt met with the same result but
no sooner did the Chief Justice father
command his wife to toss her cap into
the fire than the cap went into the
flames, and that in the most prompt,
sweet and serene manner. 1t may,
perhaps. be unnecessary to add that
of the three husbands he was the ono
most thoroughly we'll managed.

Last week there was an animated
and spicy debate in the Senate upon
the woman's suffrage question, and it
was finally decided the advocates Of
womanhood suffrage could not be per-
mitted to plead their cause riru roce
in the Senate chamber. They had de-
sired to beard the lions in their den
and carry the upper house by coup
de main, and had they once gained ad-
mission to the august assembly there
is no telling what victories they might
have won, for there is much evidence
to prove that the Senatorial heart is
peculiarly susceptible to female fasci-
nation. An uneasy consciousness on
the part of our senior legislators of
weakness on this score may have had
much to do with the course taken.
They may have felt in their secret
hearts an inability to Withstand the
wiles of such charmers as Susan b.
Anthony and her set, and feeling thus,
may have, therefore, beth6dght them
selves of the discretion which is valor's
better part. But, altogether apart
from such considerations, even if each
separate senator was fully convinced
of his perfect ability to Withstand the
fiery assault of the strong minded fe-
male, there was no alternative but to
deny the petition. If women who
want to vote are to be allowed the
privilege of taking Congress by the
button hole and arguing their case in
propria persona, why not every one
else who has q pet grievance he wishes
to ventilate or pet project he wishes
to introduce! Besides, what the dear
ladies wanted, was contrary to all the
laws and traditions of the Senate. 1t
must have gone to the hearts of the
gentlemen who voted "No" to refuse
anything 90 simple to . woman, for
your Senator prides himself on his
gallantry; but duty must be done,
howsvsr painful it'may be in doing.

The Albany La,r Journal calls at

dissenting opinion, if one is held, never

Speaking of VOORHEES, great speech
on the silver question, Tuesday, q
Washington correspondent says, it is
the general judgment that VOORHEES,
excelled himself in his speech today.
The only criticism made is that he did
not handle the legal aspects of the
question as was expected of him.
The best expression of opinion from
the opposite side is that che assumed
it and then made it very bad" The
speech is commended on all sides, how
ever, as being . marvel Of construc-
ton and expression. The friends of
silver and repeal are subscribing for
it in pamphlet form by thousands Of
copies. The Missouri delegation alone,
it Is said, will take one hundred thou
sand copies. 1t will probably have a
larger circulation than any speech
ever delivered in Congress. This is
principally owing to the fact that the
speech handles the subject in a manner
which an ordinary mind can very easily
understand. The delivery was treat.
1t occupied fully two hours. during
which time Voorhees, voice was hardly

many places where applause could
have been obtained, the Tall Syca-

merely delivering those parts with but
slight emphasis. never partaking Of

This is a little piece Of word
painting by Henry Clay Dean
"What a pitiful spectacle to see
whole country ruled by usurers! The
bankers and usurers who commence
the violation of the law on the first
day of January. and close their op'
preston on the thirty-irst days Of DE
cember, each day adding a new vic.
tim to their mercenary evasion Of
their obligations to society.
This vulture, who lives upon the
carrion Of society, may each day be
seen watching the putrescent carcas:
as it is falling into bankruptcy, like
buzzards, who light upon new born
calves, commence their feast with the
eye. and carefully pick out each
precious morsel until the young bovine
is devoured.
These sanity skeletons, with Their
nasal twang, breathed through hawk
bill noses without blood, which is sub
stituted by the claret water thai
gathers around the gills of lizards,
take upon themselves the Christian
task of teaching children in the Sab
bath schools, whilst they are carefully
preparing to despoil their childhood
by the foreclosure of cut-throat deeds
of trust.
These cadaverous, lank. lean bur
lesques upon the immortal man, as
sumo the highest graces only to de
ceive the unwary. that they may the
more readily pounce upon their un-
suspecting prey. These violators Of
the law of God and man-these per
petual criminals. assume to lead the
Church of God"
