in declared rebellion, was never SO
formidable an encmy 10 the liberties

ARTICLE l.-Whcnever in the Opiu-

States the coming OF Chinese laborers
TO the United Strtes Or their residence

only as is necessary to enforce the
regulation, limitation or suspension
of Immigration, and immigrants shall
not be subject 10 personal maltreat-
ment or abuse.

THERE are only 25,OOO,0OO Of acres
in Ireland, and yet more than half OF
this amount of land is owned by 75O
landlords. More than this. the Par.
liamentarv reports, published a few
years ago, show that out of these 75O
persona, seventy savsn per cent. were
abssntees. These men are simply
lseches, drawing money out of the
and spending it abroad, hav-
ing no interest in the unfortunate
peasant who has to live on the land.
Every Improvement the latter makes
works against him, for it increases the
valne of the land and inevitably the
amount of the rent. The system puts
, premium as itwere on poor farming.

THAT a crash in Wall street is inn
minent, the most careful judgments of
the country predict, and that 1t will
be soon seems equally certain. The
same condition of affairs existed in
1873 prior to the crash, SO far as in
vestments were concerned; every body
seemed crazy to buy all sorts of stocks
without enquiry as to their substance;
the staid farmer and villager with cash
in hand wanted to double it every
twentytfour hours, as is announced by
the press being done in Wall street.
Brokers have orders from all over the
country, and in consequence all sorts
of stuff is crowded OH the boards and
disposed of, which must soon explode
and create q scare which will be equal
to a small sized panic. But people
must learn lin come manner and per-
haps this is as just way as another

arY.
Judge Osborne, of Catskill, N. Y,
has just rendered \ decision in the
Sullivan county quo scdfrant0 suit,
brought against County Judge VIM.
l.. Thornton, of that county. Mr.
Thornton, who ran on the Greenback
ticket, was elected AS County Judge
OF Sullivan in the fall of 1873, for a
term OF six yearf, defeating County
Judge Bush, who was candidate for
re election OH the Democratic ticket
During the canvass Thornton an
nounced that he would serve the
county, If elected, for 81 200 a year
though the salary was 50 500. Mr.
Thornton was elected, and has served
as County Judge since January, 1879,
aud, true 10 his promise TO the people,
has only taken 81, 200 . Year, though
the Board OF Supervisors raised the
usual salary. The unsuccessful Dem
ocraiic candidate did not take his de.
feat kindly, but brought quo scar-
rantO suit. setting up that Thorntoh's
agreement to serve for ST 200 per an
mum, if elected, was In the nature of
q bribe, made to influence the voters
of the county, aud he prayed that
Thornton should be declared ineligi-
BILE, and that he (Bush) should be in
stalled in the office as the one who
had received the highest number OF
legal votes. The case was tried last
summer, but the decision has just
been rendered.
Judge Osborne holds that Thorn
tons promise to take 81 1900 was in
the nature of bribe, and removes
him as ineligible for service on that
account. but the Judge refuses to
place Bush on the County Bench, only
going 80 far as to declare the Office
vacant. The result is that Governor
Cornell will find it necessary to fill the
vacancy for this year, and another
electi. will be held next fall.

THE money contributions of leadin

THE money contributions of leading
capitalists and corruption j"bbers TO
the election of Gar field last fail, were
communicated TO Gath " the other
day In Philadelphia. These contribu
,ions were to carry the October States.
Jay Gould gave 100000, the largest
single subscription, and afterwards
added $4,000 to it; Vanderbilt gave
$4,000; Morton. Bliss s. Co., syndi-
cate bankers. $4,000: Standard OIL
Company, $500. A committee of
bankers in addition raised 100000,
and refused to take subscription un-
der $4,000. Don Cameron raised $1O.-
600 10 beat Bayard in Delaware. And
our own Dungannon boy is credited
with raising $4,000 in Pittsburgh for
Indiana. He did better than that.
When we read Of the subscriptions of
these syndicate and subsidy gentle

the Republicans are making in Con-
gress against three per cent. bonds and
the cutting off of funding perquisites.

The Republican papers continue to
be earncst aud eloquent over the Mo-
rey letter forgery; but they are silent
as the grave about the false and forged
letter which they kept standing at the
head of their columns during the late
campaign. purporting to have been
written by Hon. F. E. Bsl'zhoover, OF
Pennsylvania, relating to soldiers
pensions. They seem to think they
were performing pious duty in de.
ceiving their readers by the publica-
ton of forged Letters and speeches,
which they falsely claimed came from
Democrats.

claims among these, but the lapse of

which calls for the strictest inquiry.

The consolidation of the telegraph
companies is beginning to open the
eyes of the people to dangers by which
tho country is surrounded. When the
control of our finances are confined to
the tender mercies of the consolidated
National Banks, and commerce and
intelligence to monopoly railroad,
steamship and telegraph companies,
the people will begin to realize that if
their liberties are not already lost they
are in danger.

going to Mexico soon, in the interest
of the combination formed TO extend

him Indispensable to the success of
those great enterprises, should be a
national pauper?

4th of March. It will be the most
swell affair of any Inauguration since
the Government was founded. 1t 10
estimated that there will be military
companies from every State in the
Union, and they will number $1,000
men. Quite a contrast with the in
auguratiOn of Thomas Jefferson, when
he rode from the White House to the
Capitol, solitary and alone, on horse
back, tied his horse to fence and went
to the platform, read his inaugural ad-
dress, took the oath of Office and rode
back to the White House in the same
unostentatious style.

OUR RELIGIOUS COLUMN.
OLD cnuIoH CALENDAR.

July 3. Third Sunday aftor Trinity.
July 10. Fourth Sunday after Trinity.
We pity or condemn the man who denies or
doubts the doctrine of the Holy Trinity we
are sure that he is greatly in error, I" unsouud
in the faith" And we are right in that per-
suasion. But to have correct belief is not
all that goes to the making Up of Christian.
The saving faith is the faith that works by
love-" And we shall be little benefited by
our ability to reason accurately OH the sub
lime mysteries of the Trinity, If we are want
ing in those virtues and graces, the absence
of which will incur the displeasure of the
Holy Trinity.
The same must be said of that sort of re-
lgion which consists in lively feelings and
animated expression of religious confidence
/" by their fruits ye shall know them," is the
Saviour's rule of judgment and by this rule
every one is to try himself.
One of the clearest evidences a Christian
can have, that he does indeed possess saving
faith, is the frequency, The nathralasss with
life, whether sad OF joyful, prosperous or adj
verse. 81 have set the Lord always before
me: He is on my right hand. therefore
shall not be moved this bespeaks faith
that truly corresponds with S. Paul's descrip-
ton. 1t is a seeing Him who is inviss5te. 1t
makes the belief of the Unseen as real, as
positive, as influential, as the sight and
knowledge of the visible things Of time and
sense. 1t is by the power of such faith

INTERNATIONAL REvIEw.-The July num-
and presents a variety of excellent articles.
The Army Question in Europe . is discuss
ed by II. Won Hoist, who concludes that to
realize the dream of eternal peace the size of
armies must be reduced and the defences
made more perfect. Edward Atkinson asks
6 What makes the Rate of Interest !" and
answers the question in his well-known lucid
and interesting manner. Robert p. Porter,
under the title of Eight Decades of "a Cen
tury," considers some of the problems raised
by the late census regarding the growth and
character of our population. William Myall
makes I" The English Evolutionists " sub
ject for a most interesting article. "The
Reform in Pronouncing Latin" and Colo
nization," by J. Laurence Laughlin, are arti-
Giles which will be of special interest and value
to college students and authorities. The
First San Francisco Vigilance Committee"
by Thomas @. Cary, is an article with the
flavor of the early and turbulent days Of the
Golden State about it, and will surely be read
among the first in the number, which is, as a
whole, good and worthy one not, perhaps,
as brilliant as some of its predecessors, but
we'll up to its high standard.
