among the resolutions was one calling
the attention OF the house of bishons 70
the attractions of the canons by Law
readers, who, it was cleimed, were in
some instances exceeding their powers.
inere was sharp debate in the house
OF deputies this morning over a propo
sition to put check on the house OF
bishops by requiring that it should act
on al! matters Of legislation coming
from the house of deputies within three
days or the same would 20 into effect
without the bishops sanction.
The resolution was introduced the
other day by Deputy Biddle. of Pennsyl-
vania. Everything was voted down, in.
GLIDING the Biddle amendments, and the
bishops will be left without restraint.
The deputies spent the entire after
noon in debate. The only action on
record is that they decided to here
after call an assistant bishop, "bishop-
coao lutor." This is in accordance with
the desires of the revision Commission
which commended the term s.bishop
coadlutor." This was no. done without
considerable debate, however, as there
was q strong element in favor of re-.
tanning the old name assistant bishop. "
Another debate ensued over the cues
tion OF selecting term by which the
mead OF the house of bishops should be
known. At pres MT ne is called presid
ing bishop and holds office through
seniority. The revised version calls him
a primus snd has him elected. There
was strong opposition to the use of
Latin words, and many other names
were suggested.

tered Eden, and as there will be till
mans redemption is full and complete;
but, under the tenign influence of the
Christian religion, enlightenment ia
taking the place of darkness and m IN as
whole are better than they ever were.
This is especially true OF the Anglo
Saxon race, AMI Of the Am erlcan psople
in PARTICULAR. The religious instincts
OF that race find in the new world their
highest Developments and there has baen
no abatement in this respect in tbs
onward march OF thu present genera
tlon. On tue contrary events OF the st
ton years show q greater advancement
in m oralitY. The tone of the press ia
higher than i has ever been; corrup ton
and fraud in public places are fes--
lessly exposed and reforms demanded
wherever needed, the work in this line
being especially noticeable in New
York, Philadelphia, Chicago aud other
large cities of the Union.
The church is also zsalously enlisted
in the work OF reform, and in it's own
way is rendering great assistance in
purifying the social and political atm os,
phere Of the nation. Men are taught by
precept and example the value of
morality and the hatsfulness of sin.
The golden rule as political maxim Ia
coming more and more into vogue.
Men are beginning to see that q politi-
cal wrong can, under no circumstances.
be- SO gilded as to become the right and
proper thing, and they know that the
reasoning which pronounces 1t right
under some circu instances to rob man
OF his ballot, but wrong always to steal
his horse, is raising distinction when,
practically, there is no difference. In a
word, the country is on the upgrade
morally. both socially and politically.
All the elements of patriotism are here,
and, should the occasion call for it,
events will fully prove the truth of the
assertion.

PATRIOTISM, PAST AND PRESENT.

1t is the custom Of the pessimist and
"ths old times" morali6t to deplore the
wickedness OF the present age and the
degeneration of mankind in all the es-
sentials OF true liberty and progress.
They see or affect to perceive in the
lavish expenditure of money and the &C.
emulation Of wealth by q favored few
the inrosds Of q force destined to wreck
society and bring decay and ruin to re-
publican institutions. The pessimist
believes mankind inherently wicked
and that where no limit is act to the &C.
cumulation or disposal OF money, 1t will
as an element of power be employed to
opprcss the poor and impose upon the
people an oligarchy OF wealth, with g.
system CT government as unjus. and as
rapacious as any that ever cursed tn
earth.
The sold times" morslist looks always
behind and is ever prasing of the virtues
OF the Fathers OF the Republic" Both
classes sec corruption all around them,
andpredict degradation to the people
and ruin to their institutions. They
yearn for return to the simplicity of
earlier days and the social and politica
purity that prevailed in years gone by.
Both SEQ through glass darkly; but
neither sees things as they really are,
because they go no deeper than the sur.

WHY TIE MACHINE WANTS A NEW
CONSTITUTION.

The machine knows that the Walton
law must go, and the proposed new con-
stitution is to be only another device
for fraud. The United States now has
the same constitution that Jefferson and
other patriots gave US moro than a
hundred years ago. An occasional
amendment is al that has been re-
quired to modernize and fit II for the
changes Of time.
The making Of new constitution is
most serious undertaking, and will
surely bring evil results, for, under
present conditions, it would be prac-
tically impossible to form constitution
that would be beyond the use OF design
Ing politicians for political jobbery
Virginia has prospsred under Tao
present constitution and while there
are defects in it that should BIO righsed
this result can better be accomplished
By amend ments than by such q radical
and revolutionary measure as the es-
Establishment OF new constitution. The
expenses OF our State governments should
be reduced When this result is
reached, which can easily be accom-
plished by amendment, all will have
been accomplished that will be neces-
sary in constitution TO give US pure
and economical government.
