The preachers Of those churches in New
York city located on the avenues through
which the trains of the Elevated Railroad
pass have signed Ground Robin" calling
on the Legislature or city government to
prohibit Sunday travel on this road. They
complain, and apparently with reason, that
1t will be impossible for them to hold ser
vices on Sunday unless this is done, as the
noise from passing trains completely drown
their sermons. 1--WE do not object" say they

assumed name of those members of the Leg
islature Of the Keystone State who took and
offered brides for voting for the ssriot dam
ages bill, may yet serve the State in another
building very near the Legislature the peni-
Tertiary. The bribery was clearly, convinc-
ingly proved against half dozen members.
When, however, the Legislature came to a
vote on the question OF expulsion, 1t was i'm
possible to secure the necessary two-thirds to
expel them, although majority Of the Leg
islature voted therefor. Not daunted by this
defeat, the majority Immediately passed a

New York Is very strict in enforcing the
sschicken CODE Isaac Jacobs, Of No. A Mott
street, bought coop Of chickens the other
day, which he placed in his back yard, taking
a chicken therefrom whenever he needed one
for dinner. The unfortunate Jacobs was
somewhat astounded when he was arrested,
with thirteen indictments against him, for
violating section 1877 Of the sanitary code, in
keeping live chickens in his yard without q
permit from the Board of Health. Jacobs
made an eloquent defense and proved that he
had possessed the chickens only one day. 1t
was In vain. He was found guilty by the
jury and sentenced by the judge to pay q
fine of $1oo-at the rate Of So to the chicken,
or go to Jail. The health authorities OF New
York are evidently determined to enforce all
the sanitary regulations even II the streets OF
that city are the dirtiest In the Union.

Prof Mitchell, Of the American Academy
OF Sciences, has been Investigating the matter
of pain in relation to the weather. His series
of observations were made on captain Of
the United States army who had lost his
leg during the war, and who suffered Sc
verely from neuralgia. The best ''yield Of
pain was IL January, February and March,
and the wol St In July, August and Septem-
Der. The am unit Of pain suffered by the one
legged captain n, was in exact proportion with
the storms occurring throughout the country.
A storm, hundreds Of miles away, could be
felt BY the sufferer, and Immediately started
all his neuralgia pains. Prof Mitchells sum-
ming up was that low pressure Of the ba-
rometer Is certain to bring out all our aches

over forty applications have since been made
to the district attorney to begin prosecutions
against other business men, who, like Mayer,
have taken advantage Of their creditors. It
is probable that before these cases are I'm

the difference between honesty and dishones-

THE JURORS TEST OATH.

The bill introduced by Senator Bayard, re-
pealing the jurors test oath and otherwise
amending the law in regard to the drawing
and qualification Of jurors in the Federal
courts passed the Senate on Friday last and
is now before the House Judiciary Committee
for consideration and report.
1t is OF the utmost Importance that this
measure should be pressed to final passage
with the least possible delay. To this end we
hope that the Judiciary Committee will re
port it to the House at the earliest practicable
moment, more especially as rumors have
reached us from various sources to the effect
that the Republicans contemplate opposing
its passage and a resort to dilatory tactics in
order to prevent it. This rumor may or may
not be true; in any event, as the Democrats
will be held accountable for the failure Of this
legislation, they should take no chances by
leaving anything to the promises or the gen.
erosity Of the Republicans. They should
place the passage Of this bill beyond any and
all contingencies, and the only way to do this
is to take it up and act upon 1t at once.
We desire to remind our friends In Con-
gress that there are scores Of the very best
people In this State and every soul Of them
is DemOcrat-who have an immediate, per-
sonal interest in the passage OF this legisla-
ton. The indictments found under the cleo
! ton laws, with the exception Of those against
the citizens Of Natchitoches parish, are still
pending in the Federal courts, where they are
held In allegiance, doubtless, at the instiga-
ton Of the Republican Campaign Committee,
awaiting the adjournment of Congress and a
more favorable opportunity to press them
It is quite true that there is no warrant
either In law or fact, for these prosecutions
that they we're prompted by partisan malice,
and intended to subserve none but the basest
of partisan purposes.
| Nevertheless they have already been the
source Of infinite trouble and expense to those
| Of our people who have been made the victims
of them, Notwithstanding the fact that, even
under the enforcement Of the test oath, not a
single conviction has been obtained. Nor do
we believe that any convictions In these cases
can be procured in sordinary times, even were
the test oath left unrepealed, 50 fragrant Is
the outrage sought to be perpetrated against
our people, and SO manifest the spirit of par
tisan persecution which pursues them. Still,
It would be criminal act Of folly and neglect

An animated discussion of two hoars'
length in the House, Saturday, on the bill
repeating the third section of the Resump-
ton Act, resulted in Republican victory
for sound financial principles. This defeat
OF the Democratic infationists was effected
by the solid vote of the Republicans, re-
inforced by Hewitt and his class of sound
money Democrats.
The bill, which was taken from the
Speakers table and led to the debate, passed
the House during the extra session of II,
and provided for the repeal of the Resump-
ton Act. On reaching the Senate, the
entire bill was stricken out and a new one
substituted and passed. The Senate substi-
tnte provided that United States notes shall
be receivable in payment fer four per cent
bonds, and that on and after the first of last
October, these notes should be taken for i'm
port duties. 1t further provides that after
that date Government notes should not be
Cancelled nor permanently boarded, but
should be turned out again as part of the
circulation, and 1t also repealed the clause
of the resumption Act authorizing the re-
.lrement of United States notes equal to
eighty Per cent of additional circulation is
sued to National banks. When the bill was
reached in the House, last Saturday, Mr..
Ewing was ready with his amen iments in
the shape of three new sections-frst, that
the amount of United States notes outstand
ing May 3lst, '7S shall be maintained, and
in the same denominations second, that no
more bonds shall be sold for resumption pur-
poses third, that interest on bonds which
have been called in shall be limited to thirty
days. instead of ninety as at present. Ewing
advocated his amendments in long speech,
during which he rehsshed the familiar argu
ments of his class of statesmen during the |
craze of financial heresies in former Con-
crosses. lie was supported by Judge Kelly,
md opposed and utterly routed by General
Garfield. The very decisive vote of al to
10. by which Ewing was defeated, shows
hat the House has measurably recovered
rom the madness its large Democratic ma
ority at one time exhibited.
