—wmmmmmmmm——• OLD CHURCHES.

The deliberations of the triennial convention of the Episcopal Church in this country' may be looked upon as specially important inasmuch as we are in the ter-centenary of the English Reformation. It was in lr71 that the Articles were formally adopted, and Archbishop Parker's canons and constitutions promulgated. Bv these acts the doctrine and discipline of the Church, were settled in the form which it still retains. Three centuries is a long period for any institution to endure unchanged in its substantial framework, especially when those centuries have been stirring and eventful, and full ot forces which have acted as powerful solvents on all human kingdoms and constitutions. Why this organization has maintained itself for so extended a period, while other Reform organizations have gone to dust, it would be hard to determine. The Bishop of Lincoln, who has just been presiding over tl.o congress of the Established Church at Nottingham, says it is because the English reformers anchored their Church to the Church of all previous ages by three strong chains—in the authority of Scripture, the interpretation of Scripture, and the rule of the Christian ministry. They did not leave to the ".verifying faculty" of the individual conscience, or the uncertain action of the individual intellect, to determino what Scripture is, or what it means but they laid down a fixed external standard for both. They ruled that Holy Scripture was that which has been "commonly received" as such in the Church, and that preachers were to expound it as "the Catholic "Fathers and the ancient Bishops of "the Church" had done before them. And while pronouncing no judgment on those communions, which, by no fault of their own, are deprived of Episcopal ordination, they firmly laid it down as an absolute essential in their own.

Doubtless these rigid and unalterable tenets have had much to do with the endurance shown by tho Episcopal hurch. Similar faith in tho infallibility of ecclesiastical oracles accounts lor tho perpetuity ot tho Church of Home. Earthly Churches, to withstand tho storms of advorslty, have found it necessary in the past to form close alliances with temporal power, to keep before tho eyes of tho people constantly the pomp and grandeur and grontness of the sacerdotal dignitaries, and, building upon tho superstitious reverence of tho* masses, to insist upon tho opinions of the Fathers as the only infalllblo rule of faith. And yet, notwithstanding the centurka which have given prestige to tho Church of Rome, and to the Church of England, we doubt not that both of these are less in harmony with tho good progress of these d»y« than any other evangolical organisations in tho world. The one, in its recent tri-cnnlal convention in Baltimore, dwelt upon the length of surplices of surpassing importance, and its most momentous action was in defining critically the meaning of the world "regenerate" as applied to the ministration of tho rite of baptism to infants. The other is willing to go to war to maintain the temporal power of the Top© whom they look upon as the vice-gerent of Christ on earth—ignoring tho utteranco of the Savior when he declared that His kingdom waa not of this earth.

The simple story of Jesus, as given in the synoptic gospels has naught of the pomp and show and glitter which pervade the churches claiming authority now by divine right. It is tho story of an unostentatious Xajwreno who wont up and down the earth doing good. His associates were usually of the pooreat and commonest. In His name endleas wrath Is thundered now from the Vatican upon the heretics who are unwilling to fight for the temporal power of the Pope and In His name the Established Church of England inflicts all manner of inconvenience and stigma upon the non-conformists. The Church of Rome and ths Church of England have been powerful engines for good in their time, and powerful engines for evil, too, but their grandeur and ove.rtoworing influence will soon he thing* of the past, A liberal sentiment la growing to be colossal throughout Christendom which declares that religion mast he of the heart, and not «if the Hp* or vwdmenta. This liberallam will push to the wall all the ceremonies and hollow mockeries by which men hare sought through all the ages to appease the wrath which their own cowardly imaginings have attributed to the Cieator. When this liberalism has pervaded all the homes of men will the earth become rtially the grand cathedral of God.

SECOND EDITION.

nro editiox.y

Of this Paper are published. Tlie FIRST EDITION, on Thursday Evening, has a large circulation among farmers and others living outside of the city. The SECOND EDITION, on Saturday Evening, goes into the hands of nearly evtry rending person la the city. #4 Everj- Week's Issue Is, in fact,

THE malls have brought a S»py of the edict of the Mikado of Japan doing away with the Daimios. The Government ot Japan really seems to be earnestly bent on carrying out immense reforms in ail parts of the Empire, and placing Japan in an honorable position among the independent civilized nations. Every department of the Government, the civil and military service, tho Treasury, and the Departments of Public Instruction and Religion are being overhauled and put upon a new footing the knowledge acquired by the different embassies visiting the United States and Europe, within the last three years, having been put to practical use at once. The greatest source of weakness to the Empire was the existence o. tho hereditary feudal princes or Daiinois, who were virtual sovereigns of extensive domains.al ways jealous of and often at war with each other, and inclined to oppose any act of the Central Government not calculated to inure to their direct benefit. Perceiving this, the Mikado determined to g«t rid of the dangerous class quite as summarily as did the ruler ot of Egypt of the Jannizaries, if not in so sanguinarv a manner, and accordingly issued an edict which has already been carried into effect. This edict, which, strange to say, his been obeyed without seri ous disturbance anywhere, was read to tho assembled Daimios at Yeddo in presence of the Mikado and President ol the Council of State

EDICT OF THE MIKADO.

It appears to me that in the time of reformation, If it Is our desire to aid and make our people happy, ami to take honorable position with respect to other nations, we .should make the reality correspond with the name, and make the governmental power to be centralized Into one. I previously ordered the Ilaus (feudal governments) to send up a report of all their affairs, and appointed the Daimios to be Chi-han-Jlo (governors), and prescribed to each their duties but having for several hundred years Wen hereditary rulers, some were satisfied with merely the nanu, and neglected their duties. How then Can the people be made happy,and we takean honorable position amongst nations? 1 have deeply lamented this state of things, and now abolish the Haus (ftudal territories), and convert them into Kens (Imperial domains). In performing your dutiestloaway with all useless matters, and cleave to retrenchment cut off all unnecessary expenses, and abrogate all troublesome laws. lio you, my crowd of servants, carry out this my mind!

A'CASK illustrating the folly of litigation has just been concluded in a Massachusetts court. Four years ago two ladies were riding with about a dozen others in a four horse coach, on a picnic excursion in Ashfield, when a defective bridge gave way and pr cipitated tho team, with the passengers, some twelve feet into the stream below. Both ladies]were injured. The defect of tho bridge and the liability of the town seemed undoubted. One of the ladies offered to settle for $l,roo, but tho selectmen refused. The matter went into court, and now after four years of litigation the town is mulcted in stun of 910,135, and must besidesjf largo bill of costs for their own ifi** es, and tho lills of their able counsel? Tho result is rather an expensive lesson, and may serve to render towns more careful oi" their highways, and not to litigato such claims when damages occur through their neglect.

TIIK Express, while virtually admitting that improper women" cannot lawfully bo excluded from places of public amusement says: "But this is certain: Ladles will not consent to be mixed up promiscuously with that class of women and gentlemen will not take their lady friends where they are very likely to be brought in contact with the occupants of bawdy houses,"

Now we know that ladies do not decline to appear on tho streets, or to travel in railroad cars or other public conveyances, for fear of being "mixed "up with that class of women," yet the danger of contact with "improper "persons" is much greater in these than in any public hall of this city. Somo may approach the sublimity of virtue by wrapping the cloak of exclusivencss about thein and thanking God that they are not as others, but this is not In harmony with the lesson of that Nazarene teacher to whom we are indebted for all that is good and pure in our civilization.

The Cincinnati Enquirer has taken a new departure and advocates tho Pittsburg Post's scheme of nominating Col. Thos. A. Scott,the head of the Pennsylvania Central Railroad company, for the Presidency. It assumes that Edwin M. Stanton wasagood judgeofmen and in the most difficult and trying part of the war, as his Assistant Secretary, indicated a high appreciation of his fine and unequaled administrative talent. There are wonders in these days! During the latter years of his life Mr. Stanton was hated more bitterly by Democrats than any other man in America. That his endorsement of a citizen should be considered by a leading Democratic journal as a recommendation of that citisen for the presidential nomination by that party, Is truly remarkable.

EUSEWWKRK In this Issue will be foand a poem written for the MAIL by Hester A. Benedict. We have republished from prominent periodicals many songs written by this authoress, and onr readers will agree with us thai they possess a sweetness caught from Heaven itself. Mrs. Benedict Is young In the field of literature and we doubt not that her name will be written among the earthly Immortals if her work Is not stopped or hindered by the Master's hand.

TWK administration again holds itself up for general execration by reducing the public debt daring the month of October, 86.170.7mSR. What doe* Mr. Boutwell mean by such conduct as those?

EVF.NING A TI»

is a crime, and subiecting such person

to heavy fi.ics and other penalties. To this end. the best jurists of Germany have been called upon to frame such a law, and prompt action is to be taken in the premises. So the plot thickens and the rope is being twisted which the despots hope will strangle the International. Meanwhile that order grows vastly. I^ouis Blanc is in the movement heart and soul. Mazzini, the great Italian leader, is lor a war upon monarchy to end this sad, skeptical, "egotistical period of transition which weakens and corrupts." The lame lion of Caprera" is ready to put on the red shirt of the Alps and the Vosges. The International is a slumbering volcano. It will burst forth somo day under every throne from the Baltic to the Dardanelles, and from the Ural Mountains to the English channel. It may bo that Europe must walk through blood to regeneration, as America has done before her. Such a calamity will be deplorable, but God moves in mysterious ways. If such a struggle comes let the sympathy, and the strong right arms ii needed, of all true Americans be on the side of humanity as represented by the toilers of Europe. Men now living will see the thrones of the old world buried beneath the cast-off manacles of the people. A few rays of intelligence scattered among the masses havo written he knell of the monarchs. A glimmering of light has prepared the people for revolution tho full blaze of education, as in Germany, will fit them to maintain freedom.

A KEW weeks ngo Mr. Horace Greeley expressed the hope that, it either of his daughters were destined to enter into political liie, his own eyes might be closcd in death before seeing them dishonor womanhood by such conduct. Now the Tribune seems to think that women may speak and mold political sentiment without disgracing themselves. Could any good man desire to die rather than livo to hear liis daughter spoken ofin terms of earnest eulogy such as the Tribune used on Monday in referenco to Miss Anna Dickinson? Here are tho words of that journal:

It is so refreshing to IIml the Labor Queslion dealt with in a better spirit than that of the demogofjue, that we cordially coin mend Miss Dickinson's lecture, to-night, at Steinway Hall, to public attention, and bespeak for her a mil house. Whatever mischief two able orators and a whole regiment of dull ones could do on this subject has been wrought: it will be worth while to see how one who lias proved herself before popular assemblages tlie peer of the best of them can confront them en their chosen ground.

TNE Gubernatorial candidates in Massachusetts havo been catec.hisod by the women suffragists. Mr. Adams, the Democratic candidate, iys, in reply to their queries, that ho is "firmly nnd "unequivocally opposed to woman suffrftge, and that ho shall feel it his duty in tho v- ry improbable contingency of his ever occupying any consid"erable public office, to stand by the "old immemorial division of activities "and functions which seems to him to lio at the foundation of society." Mr. Washburn, the Republican candidate, replies that he is in favor of the admission of women to the exercise of the ballot. Judge Pitman, thoTomperanco nominee, avows the snmn sentiment.

JOHN BKIOHT says of Wendell Phillips He is tho most eloquent man "that speaks the Engli-h language!" James Redpath says of him "He is a "man of independent fortune, and you would be surprised to see how plainly he lives. His house is an unpretending one, in a little street in Bos"ton, called Essex stroet. His liberal"ity is unbounded. Ho does more silent acts of charity than any publie man in the country whom I know."

THE "Black Crook" combination is coming to this city, and of course the local journals which bare been so wrathful because two or three Magdalens have been seen in a public audience here, will demand that the Opera House shall not thrown open for this improper" performance. Of course they will not receive advertisements or complimentary tickets from such a demoralizing concern.

THE "masterly inactivity" plan of the St. Louis Republican and Gen. F. P. Blair, does not seem to strike the great and noble Democratic heart. Some Democrats named Legion swear that the plan is a cowardly one.

THK Indianapolis papers have not contained a slngleallusion to the "black "cat" business for a week. This is right. There is no good reason why purr-petual warfare should be waged upon R. J. Bright.

IF the Democrats were to bold their national convention early in the year and nominate General Grant they might walk away with the Republicans. Wo are astonished that this plan has not yet been suggested.

HOW MR. LINCOLN INDORSED THE NEGRO. Samuel Wilkeson communicates tho following to the Independent. The story is not entirely new, but this rendering of it is none'the less interesting:

In the third year of tho. war, Wm. Johnson, a negro messenger in the Treasury Department, who added to his pay and duties the emoluments and honor' of shaving President Lincoln, went to W. J. Huntington, the cashier of tho First National Bank, in Washington, to borrow §150 on his note of hand. Mr. Huntington, who is kind to the poor as he is rigid in adhering to the rules of good bank management, a lily to tho financial pr hi whut lie wanted to do with the money.

listened favor tnl to tho financial proposition of William, and asked him

To finish my little house," said he. "I have to require a responsible endorser can you give mo one "I reckon I kin." replied William straightening himself up with solid dignity. "I can give von Abram Linkon "Oh he will do," said tho cashier, who turned to his desk and drew two notes for §75 each, payable respectively in 60 and 90 days. William got Mr. "Lincoln's indorsements, and got his money.

When the first note fell duo it was not paid, and Mr. Huntington, soon after having business at tho TreasuryDepartment, sought for the colored defaulter to his big bank. William was dead. The cashier, in tho courso of time, having occasion to«do some business with Mr. Lincoln, took with him William's two promises to pay. After concluding his interview with the President upon tho matter principal in hand, ho said Mr. Lincoln, the barber who used to shave you, I hear is dead." "Oh yes," interrupted tho President, with feeling, "William is gone. I bought a coflln for tho poor fellow, and have had to help his family." "Well, Mr. Lincoln," sumed the cashier, "I was going to say that I had in the Bank two small notes of William's indorsed by you, which I will now surrender to you." "No you don't," said Old Abo, with lively firmness and uncoiling himself upward in tho arm-chair. "I indorsed tho notes, and am bound to pay them audit is your duty to make mo pay them." "Yes," said the cashier," but it lias long been our custom to devote a portion of our profits to charitable objects, and this seems to bo a most deserving one." Mr. Lincoln, however, stood firm on his obligation and his purpose to pay his indorsements. "Well, Mr. Lincoln, I will tell you how we can arrange this," finally'said Mr. Huntington "This loan on William was a joint one between you and tho bi??iks. You stand half tho loss and I will stand half. You pay one of the notes, and I will cancel the other."

Old Abo flung his leg over tho arm off tho chair in that irresistibly funny way ho frequently had musing over a proposition. Ho thought awhile, tho light playing all over his expressive face, then straightened up, his tweet

Sluntington,"

iatient eyes full of laughter, "Mr. said ho, "tlmt sounds fair, but it is insidious you are going to get ahead of tne you are going to give me the smallest note to pay. Thero must be a fair divide over poor William. Reckon tho interest on both 'notes, and chop tho wholo right straight through the middlo, so that my half shall be as big as yours. That's tho way to fix it.

And that is tho way the grand man "fixed" tho discharge of all his obligations—scrupulously exact, roligiously honest, proudly independent.

The c.ishier laughed as he handed tho notes to Mr. Lincoln, said, pointing to his signatures on the back, "After this, Mr. President, you can never deny that you indorse the negro." "That's a fact," said old Abe, laughingly "but I don't want to deny it." And doesn't the negro indorso him and his works? God bless his memory I

THE STOLEN PASS.

An editor In Ilarrlsburg lost his pass on the railroad, and requested tho officers of the road to secure tlie arrest of any man who should present it. The next day he found tho pass In the pocket of his Sunday trowsers, and proceeded to take a trip upon it. As soon as he offered it to the conductor, that faithful oHicer knocked him qp the head with his lantern, called in three brakemen and tho baggage master dragged him despite his frantic struggles, along the floor into the baggage car, where a braketnan sat on him while the conductor battered him up a lot to keep him quiet and then tnoy searched him to ascertain what other thefts he had been perpetrating. With the exception of a ticket to to tho circus, that man had upon his person absolutely nothing but railroad passes! He had passes over all the main roads and branch lines and feeders and sidings in the State of Pennsylvania. He had free tickets over all the railroads in the Eastern, Southern, Middle^ and Western States, and in four of the Territories. He had a pass over a railroad from Yeddo Yokohama, and another from CalcQtta to Bengal. He had a letter promising him one on the new road which is proposed in Terra Del Fuego, and a manuscript puff which he bad written for a man who bad assured him be should have a pass over the road, which the man said he was about to run under the Mediterranean from Africa to Italy, as soon as it was built. The conductor concluded that he had caught the greatest pass kleptomaniac that the world ever saw. But when be got back to Ilarrisburg the affair was explained. And now, if there is any one editor in the state who is completely sick of "gentlemanly conductors," that editor resides in the State capital.

A San Francisco journal says: "As a rule it is not a good plan to visit the home of a recently married lady to collect money loaned her while you were courting her yourself. The husband is likely to become unduly curious in the matter, and may even take the ground that be is in some way concerned in it. Should be blunder into that view of it you may find it extremely difficult to set him right. We have reason to believe that we are supported in this opinion by Mr. Edward Kelly, of this dty, bot as Mr. Kelly is at tne hospital, suffering from five gashes with a bowie-knife, we have foreborne to personally consult him,"
