ALTHOUGH the majority of the U. P.
ministers and ruling elders voted to allow
instrumental music in the churches, it re-
quired majority vote of the general as
sembly to repeal the law against it, and
this failed yesterday by So to ia, so tho
singing of the psalms will proceed without
fiddle, harp or organ.
THE New York Independent, which
mixes good deal of Republican politics
with its religion, avows all sympathy with
the Pennsylvania Independents and be-
lieves that the future good of the Repub-
lican party will be best promoted by rout-
ing Senator Cameron and his cohorts at
the next election, even if the Democrats
win the day, as seems now not at all un
likely.
CHAIRMAN COOPER is sending out secret
circulars to the different members of the
state Stalwart committee, containing
request that they use their utmost en-
deavors to ascertain the strength of the
Independent Republicans in their county.
1t also urges the importance of knowing
tho names of the prominent movers, how
tho delegates to the state convention of
the 24th were selected, how many persons
were in attendance, if the selections
were by conference or county convention
and tho number of votes polled if ballots
were cast.
LEAR has finally consentcd' to let
somebody else summon his moribund state
convention together, and he says he has
written letter to Mr.. Thomas NJ. Mar
shall, telling him that if he will 20 to the
convention of June 81, will be there also.
II he does not attend doubt whether l
will. But if I do 60 it will not be to vote
for some already nominated candidate. I
intend to have something to say regarding
the selection of delegates to future state
conventions" Lear seems very anxious
to tic himself to Marshalps kite, and a
suspicion is stealing over the state that
Lear is a darling old humbug subject to
spells of dampness.
