For two months post tho praeeedings in Congress have been siugularly monoton ous and uninteresting. The reason of litis id, so faros tho House of Representatives is concerned, that this body hue be'tin incubuting a new set of rules, and ever since the tirst of tho year has been going into the Committee of the Whole i lay by day for the purpose of discussing t ho proposed changes. Tho new rules are allowed by every body to be a great im provement over the present rules, and are the product of the wisdom of both sides, hut nuvortheless the debate in Committeo of the Wholo has been long and wearisome. Finally, the job was completed yesterday, so far as tho Committee of the Whole could complete it, but the House, in its representative character, has now to adopt thetu. This remaining gauntlet lias got to be run, and it is expected that one or two stiff contests will now occur. The principal bone of contention has been what is known as tho twenty-first rule, the rule that covors appropriations! and that admits of riders in the shape of leg islation on the top of the appropria tions of inonoy for the support of the various departments of the government. Your roaderBare familiar with the history j of tho extra session of Congress last year,1 as respects these riders, and will readily recall how long and bitterly tho Democ racy attempted to saddlo tho regular sup plies of money with tho repeal of tho so called election laws. The fail election put u damper on their contest, and it is doubt ful whether they will renew tho tight this session. They may, however, for they nearly always manage to put their foot in it, in soino shape or other, just before elec tions. Providence has apparently decreed that they should always do thus, aud so regularly has it happened that they have done so in the past that we can scarcely expect toseo them miss their opportunity at the close of the presont session. BIDBR8 O.N API'ROl'llIATIONS. Tho discussion in tho committee of the whole oTer -tho 2lst rule, has arrayed the two parties in the IIouso on nearly party lines. Such men aB Frank llurd, of Ohio, on the Democratic sido, havo made learned arguments, based on precedents in English history, to show that the power to saddle appropriations of money with certain conditions has been one of the safeguards of popular liberty. He and other Democratic loafers hayo cited the various contests between the Crown and the House of Commons, in support of their position as champions of riders on appropriation bills. On tho other hand, .Alexander 11. Stephens, who is a Demo crat. Imt not a- partisan Democrat, con totitis that there ia no similarity whatever between the history of said contents' in ltagland, and the status of affaire in this country. Wo have no Crown hero, says Stephens, but the people; nobody exer cises hereditary or royal pcerogativea here; the people pass upon all issues that arise in Congress every two years, which ia often enough, and they elect a President every four years. So that the power to rectify wrongs is constantly in ttie hands of the jieonlu, and therefore it is not only nonsense, but revolutionary nonsonse for Congress to undertake to withhold money from the co-ordinate and equal depart ments of the Government, in order to coerce one of those departments into aquiescence in its immediate views, what ever they may happen to bo at the mo ? inont. The president is clothed by the people with ? power?the power of the veto?as inviolable as any powerconferred on Congress, and it cannot he arbitrarily rendod from him, except by tho high hand of revolution. This is the way tho agreement stands at present on the 21st rule, and it may be continued for somo time to cotnoiu the open House before the rule is disposed of. COMMITTEE OP TIIK W1I0LK. Porhnpa I ought to have said a word in explanation of this parliamentary expres sion. The proposed new rules were re ported to tho llouso of Representatives from a special committee, consisting of leading .Democrats and ltepnblicans, ap pointed at tho extra session of Confess hist yea*. That committee had leave to nit during tho recess, and it is only fair to j say that it has mado a report that embo dies a set of amended rules that are pro nounced excellent by both sides. All changes in tho old rules hnd to be made by unanimous consent in tho Committee, and whoro unanimous consent could not bo obtained tho old rule sought to be changed- was roported back without amendment. The necessity for a now set of ru'fs is recognized by everybody as a great necossity. As tho rules have stood for many years it takes an average mem ber at least two terms to becomo oven tolorahly familiar with them, and a now member has no chance what ever in parliamentary strategy with an old member. As soon as tho special committee submitted their report early in the year, the liouss resolved it self mto a Committee of the Wholo on the subject of this special committee's work, and day by day, almost without iuterrup* tion it has continued to resolve itself into a committee in order to debate the charges proposal. After a daily discus sion which ofton takes a very wide range, sud after the members get very weary with tho differences between tweedledee and tweedledum, some one move* that the committee do now rise, and if the motion carries, the committee rises, aud the mem ber who haa acted as chairman steps down and oat of the speakers choir (aud the speaker resumes it) and proceeds to tell the speaker what has been done in his absence by the committeo of the whole House, which piece of information the sneaker in his turn announces to the House. After this formality is gone through with the House is generally ready to ad journ, and thus it is that legislation drags1 its slow length along from week to week. A. W. C. BELIUI017M JUtlFI A.ND IIM'IIWION. A religious lunatic in England has broken out in a pamphlet in which ho calls upon his brother ministers to pray for the con version of tho devil. We submit that this bold enterpriuo to check ein at the foun* tain is a lit subject for a week of prayer, although the HeraId and PrahjjUr solemn ly asks, "What ground is there for faith that such prayer will bo answered?" Sunday keeping has been a recent novel topic, for the meridian of France, discussed in the Chamber of Deputies. It seems that an old law prescribing tho keeping of tho day has lingered on the statute book, obsolete for half-century or more to be sure, but only now lormally abrogated, no that as a .Kronen journal puts it, "Frencbmon aro now frco to work or not to work on tho seventh day, as thoy please." There was quito a stout dofenso, however, for legal Sunday keeping from a number of the deputies. Reading for Lent is the topic of a little homily in the Churchman. There aro two distinct ends, it says, to be sought One is instruction; the other is the quickening of devotion. The quality of one's reading is, therofore, to be determined very much by what one's greatest need may be. One j will aid the other. Were study hardens the intellect, or becomes a sort of substi tute for the excitemont and interest of the amusements of othor seasons. Mere de votional reading may run into febrile and mystical excess. A little well-digested, thoughtfully pondered and exhaustively used, will be much fetter than a quantity iiastily run through. Such reading should be a spiritual tonic; but tonics become poisons when used in excess. There are 1,130 Congregational ministers in this country without a charge, and the serious question what to do with them, and why are things thus, aro forcing themselves into earnest discussions. It is estimated that about 200 of the/?o minis ters aro not in positions to accept any charge, and that some of them, perhaps, do not desire one; but after all such allowance is made theie remain IKK) minis ters still unemployed. Statistics indicate, as an offset, that there are 002 churches which have no pastors, about 00 of which aro unable, it is supposed, to support one ?showing 000 pastorless churches able to support a pastor if they would, and 900 churchless pastors willing to tako charge of a church if they only bad a chance. Cardinal Newman has delivered an ad dress lately on the growth of Protestant tolerance toward Catholics during the past thirty years in England. Thirty years ago, Catholics had become very un popular, he said, through the wholo coun try, owing to a general fancy that, in some way or other, our authorities at Rome wero conspiring together. against tho re ligious liberties of England. The appoint ment of an English cardinal and ot En glish bishops was looked upon as a great insult, since a Christian hierarchy was alreaay established in the country, and a, now one seemed to bo intended to take its1 place. The causes of the change in son timent, he said, wero many. First, t{ie| opposition was too violent, too unjust, sometimes too extravagant to last?another evidenco of the law that reaction of mind | follows on great excitement. A second reason was the knowledgo that came to the nation from experience as timo went on, that tho alarm had, alter all, been unnecessary, and that there had been no reason for the grave prophecies oi danger, and the panic, fright and strin gent measures on the part of tho execu tive and the country. The third cause which ho indicated was the conversions, of which there have been not a few. Eng- j land is not, in the eyes of Catholics, a heathen country, needing conversion as a heathen country needs it; but it is a coun try which knows only half the gospel, and tho mission of Catholics is to make them know tho whole of it. Fifty years ago, the Catholics in England were an un known sect: now there is hardly a family in the kingdom but has relatives or asso ciates of that religion. Cardinal Newman cites, as another cause,- tho great ligure presented to the wholo world by the lato Popo Pius IX, and its elfect iu favor of Catholics. I would suggest that a potent reason 1 why there should be an iinmenso acces sion to all Protestant churches in these years, may be found in the fact that the churches need the liberal views and the education, the new intellect and the now hoart now to be found outside the walls of the denominations. Not only does the church need such an invasion by moral men, young aud old, but it has for the most part becomo ready to welcome thou sands which once it would have turned away. These churches cannot erase a group of false doctrines in a day. Plot ting out is a slow process. But the churches can pass by silently the ideas which no one wants. And generally they aro doing this; j and oro ready to welcome men and women of amazing breadth of belief or opinion. The reasons for standing out sido which were valid 20 years ago, namely, considerations of the false opinions held by those within, are not valid any longer to any great degree, for the ideas inside the sanctuary have movod along and have almost overtaken the religious opinions held by the general congregation. It is of the general or at least a wide spread fact I ain speaking. All must be fully aware that here aud thero a meeting house stands in full relationship with antiquity. The pastors of these are still defining tho infi nite, aro8till positive that tho world has not moved a span since Augustine or Cal vin, and of these churchej -tUfrmembers still debate and ouarrel about doctrines, and mourn over the formB*Oi Iimfiau pleas ure and happinoss. Of such churches the number is small. You are noturged to rush tothesupnortofthese. They should be left to die in tho most posaiblo of peace. But in all cities and in tho towns and evon in tho villages, there are churches full of the sim plest and best doctrines and practices of the religion of Jesus. They wear the old uames yet but not tho old uature. It is difficult to escapo from a long-woru appel lation. It is easier to retain the name and cast around in newer and better associa tions. When a certain young Roman law yer gave sudden promise of great elo quence, some fellow lawyers advised him to adopt a new name, for his father's name meant a root in the garden. It is possible his ancestors may havo raised and sold vegetables. The youug lawyer replied, "1 shall not change my name, but I will attempt so to live aa to roako an humble natne noble." And that the name of Cicero carries no reproach in it we can all testify. So the churches need not adopt new names. It is truo that their ancestors were often hard-hearted, and sometimos utterly contemptible. Many bad associa tions attach to all tho modern church names, but they need not oraao titles for, like the Roman youth, they cau so live as to tnako their names honorable, It might easily como to pass that tho term "Presby terian" or "Baptist" or "Methodist" shall yet look beautiful upon a banner, and shall sound like music to the ear of even the most liberal Christian. A namo will assume a new import as fast as new vir tues comes. Words travel as rapidly as good or bad journeys.?Srrmtm by Rec. David Storing.

Day after day, hour after hour, tbe moat dire, distressing and appalling tidings reach tia regarding the misfortunes of Ire laud in its present calamity. We do not propose to give a long article on the lamen table sUte of things as they now exist. Our sympathy, our ability as editor, our tender vibrations of humanity, long ago, have been moved; but before We would' publicly express our thoughts, we waited, with patience for the most opportune and seasonable time, and now, wo think that time has arrived. Whilst last summer, more or less, on the beautiful Ohio, we sulTered from the want of wator, the peo* pic in Ireland were deluged, over flooded and swamped, and henco all their crops perished, aud thus without anything of culpability oa th'eir part, they are now without bread to eat. tiuch, it is evident, was, and is the will of our munificent Creator, and obey His eternal will we ought. Well, now, what are we west Virgin ians, whcwe generosity is probverbial and spoken of "all ovor the world," why! stand idle whilst our friendly Ireland is famine stricken and in destitution! Come forward, 0 .State, and let us organize a .State fund, uud in the name of our State forward it at once to relieve the demands of suffering Immunity. To tho eternal credit of Itev. T. H. Lacy, of Christ Pro tentant Episcopal Church, of our town, this noble work of Christianity has been already started. He is truly the good Samaritan. Ireland is by its inheritance and birth-right, Catholic, but when the good'Samaritan betweon Jerusalem and Jericho, found the poor man wounded and bruised., weltering in his blood, lie never asked him, are you a Catholic or a Protestant? Are you an Episcopa lian, Baptist or Methodist? Are you an American or a Frenchman? No, no, but because he was made in the "image and likeness" of his bountiful Creator he took caro of him; and our Savior addod, "(jo, aud do thou likewiso and thou shalt live for all eternity with God in heaven." We, therefore, requost in tho name of the depressed and oppressed sufferers of Jreland, that the press of the State take up, and to the fullest extent agitate.this question for the well-being of society and tho relief of suffering and starving humarv ity. On our part, poor as wo are, we will open the State subscription with a Ten Dollar bill. Let our State and State pa pers show tho world, not for bravo, that we are alive and commisserate the de mands, wants and cravings of a distressed, oppressed and starving people. D1KD.
