The spectacle which is presented

The spectacle which is presented
iu the United States Senate just now
of the twogreat parties of the country
quarrelling over two or three petty Of
fees for short extra session. is not
calculated toimpress people with very
great respect for the dignity of that
body. If there were any principle in-
volyed in the contest the unseemly
wrangle might in some degree be justi-
fed, but there is none. The eloquence,
the wit, the sarcasm and the ridicule
are all expended to save little patron
age on the one hand or to acquire it op
the other. The thing is disgraceful all
around.

In our article on Imports and Ex-
ports we neglected to state that though
we now allow coffee to come into the
country free of duty. on account we
suppose of onr inability to produce it,
the Brazilian government from wl.ich
we receive the bulk Of our supply puts
an export tax or duty on every pound
tha; leaves the country. and this is what
makes coffee so expensive to US.

Last Wednesdays session of our
State Legislature was an interesting
one. In the Senate the special order
was the consideration of the bill to
escheat to the Commonwealth the prop
erty of all corporations which violate
the provision of our State Constitution
prohibiting consolidation. The bill
passed third reading and was laid over.
In the House the bill submitting to
the people of the State, the question Of
removing the State Capital to Phila-

spirited debate was indefinitely post

the debate one member remarked that

According to the opinion of Attor-
ney General Palmer, the members of
the Legislature ere salaried officials.
They cannot vote themselves extra pay
for extra sessions. So much Of tie law
of 1874 as provides for paying $40 per
day for fifty days after the expiration
of the first hundred days Of the session
he holds to be unconstitutional. This
decision fixes the pay of members Of
the present Legislature at $1,000. They
cannot increase it.

The ter,as of peace between the
English government and the Beers Of
South Africa, as announced in the
House of Commons, are not full enough
for US to understond exactly the rela-
tioa that will exist between England
and the Transvaal The fact for con-
graduation is tia. this dreary, dismal
war has come to an end. There was
no honor to England in lighting the
Beers. The annexation OF the Trans
vaal under the Beacons6eld administra-
tion was an act of high-handed usurpa-
ton, recalling the methods of Warren
Hasting and Lord Give Ia dealing
with the poor, week rajahs of India.
The difference, however, between the
people of the Transvaal and the people
of Scinde was that one was an enervat-
ed, Ingenious and timid race the other
descendants of men who, under William
of Orange. conquered the Stuarts ard
menaced the p"Wer of France

The latest census sheets received
have some figures that will lie great
surprise to many people The whole
colored population of the country in
1850 was 6.5TT,l5T, showing an in-
oreGse in the preceding ten years Of l.
691 l42. or nearly 32 per cent against
an increase of the white population in
the same period Of little more than
% per cent, and that due largely to
immigration. One Of the predictions
confidently made was that the Eman-
cipation Proclamation would go far to-
wards oxtcrminating the black race in
this country. But the facts show that
freedom agrees very well with the coll
ored race From 1850 to 1860, when
slavery reigncd in the South, the in
crease of the colorcd population was a
fraction over y per cent, against q
fraction less than 81 per cent, from
1870 to 1880, when slavery was extinct.
And it is a significant fact that much
the largest II crease in the colored pop
ulaton is in " hat were the large slave
holding States A like ratio ofincreGse
during the next t. decades will make
the colored race little short of II ,O0O,-
coo people. These are facts which
challenge the close attention Of states
men ard political economists, as well
as of intelligent Christian people.

Census totals by sex, show that
the male proportion of our population
has grown faster in the last ten years
than the females but in the last
twenty years the women increased in
numbers more rapidly than the men.
This being so, il must be that in tie
last ten years women have changed
their modes of li:ing, their style of
dress, and their habits generally, very
much, as all these enter largely into
the duration of life 1t must be ad-
mitted that American women, as
rule, arc not as studious;y careful of
their health as they should be, that is,
they do not cultivate habits with di-
rect view to promote health. Ameri-
can women are not given to outdoor
exercise. to daily promenades and to
hearty field sports.
