There is no subject to which the opposi tion so frequently resort, ai a subterfuge, in their appcab to the prejudices of the people, as that of Equality. When reason fails them, they close their political ha rangues with imprecations against Negro Eqvjdiiy. In public speeches, newspaper editorials and colloquial argument, the hur |j; then of their speech from exordium to per oration is Negro Equality . Though they thus constantly appeal to the prejudices of the people, they never trust themselves in an honest discussion of the fundamental principles upon which social equality is based. From newspaper editors and pub lic speakers down to bar-room politicians, they carefully refrain from any such discus sion ■ fbr with all their professed fear of negro equality, they would be compelled to acknowledge, not only, that negro equal ity is an utter impossibility, but, that social ©quality even among white men is a thing unknown in this or any other country. Equal rights before the law is one thing, but social equality is quite another. We do believe that the government should know neither white nor black, rich nor poor, high nor lew in the application of the law and the guaranteeing to her citizen'- of all their rights of persou and property. But social equality does not depend upon nor can it be governed by legislative enactments. It is determined by a thousand contingen cies dependent upon and within the control of each person for himself alone. Between the educated and the ignorant, between the cultivated and refined and the rude and coarse, between the debauchee and libertine and the sober and upright, there is not, nor can there be social equality. Between the various classes of soeiety there are bounda ries which no legal enactments of state or national governments can break down or destroy, their occupations, degree of intelli gence, habits of thought and life and a thousand smaller considerations, while they may sometimes admit of pleasant inter course, will evea remain insuperable obsta cles in the way of social equality. No one, who has any regard for his reputation for intelligence and veracity, will care to make these appeals to the prejudices when reason can never be called to his aid. As men increase in moral and intellectual cul turc they rise in the social sphere ; as they lapse into ignorance and moral depravity they fall m the social scale, and though family connection, wealth or other extrinsic circumstances may for awhile buoy them up, sooner or later they inevitably sink to social degradation. Such has been the in exorable law of social life in every age and land and nation, since our first parents "Hund in baud, with wandering steps and glow, Through Eden took their solitary way," and such it will remain to the end of time, the ranting appeals of political demagogues to the contrary notwithstanding. FREE RAILROAD LAW Wc trust that our friends in Bedford will soon be prepared to say that they are in fa vor of a Free Railroad System, and also that they will eschew further dalliance with the "monopoly," which has availed them nothing, and has stabbed our most vital in terests. Since we have been in the same district with Bedford, we have uniformly adopted her legislative nominees, supported them in good faith, and by our rotes elected them and yet in even- instance where our Railroad interests have been supposed to be inimical to those of the monopoly, we have lacked the hearty support of the members from Bedford. Weao not now intend to complain of the past, and are content to "let bygones be bygones," but we say to our friends in that county in all candor, that such a state of things can no loDger continue and our amicable _ relations he preserved. Self preservation is natures first law, and Somer set county has at last determined to put her foot down in behalf of her own rights, though she stand alone in her defense of them. Ihere isno antagonism between the Rail road interests of Bedford and Somerset, save and except that created by the branch of the monopoly running into the former county, and our people cannot and will not consent any longer to have their interests sacrificed, because of that sop thrown to our neighbors. VY e disclaim in advance all i iea of dicta ting, or attempting to dictate to Bedford in anything pertaining to her nominations, or to her local interests, we simply state a fixed fact, that the people of this county, will support no candidate for either branch of the Legislature wlio is not distinctly pledged regardless of the wiles or frowns of the mono poly, to support in all legitimate ways their Railroad interests. We opine moreover too that the legislative candidates in this district will be required—"if not prepared to say that they are in favor of a Free Railroad Bill,' —to give some good and sufficient reason why such a law should not be enacted or at least lie submitted for approval or re jection to that fount of all power, the peo ple.—Somerset Herald. We hardly know bow to interpret the the above profound comments of our high ly esteemed cotemporary. The members of the General Assembly from this county for the last five or six years have voted, in the main, with the members from the county of Somerset. And we further believe that our railroad interests are very nearly, if not alto gether, those of our neighbor. As for the Free Railroad Law, we believe we have said more in opposition to the monopoly than our Somerset friends, though we have not direcly advocated a Free Railroad sys tem. Our opposition to the Pennsylvania Central has aroused the people and they, in their efforts to defend themselves against outrage, naturally take to a Free Railway Law. This will be seen in the following res olution unanimously passed at our late meeting: "Retolv-ed, That we heartily approve of the recent letter of Gen. Geary in favor of a Free Railroad Law, believing that if the policy indicated therein is adopted it will greatly enhance the material and social in terests of this Commonwealth.'' At the time we penned the squib upon which the comments of our cotemporary are based, we had given the subject of a Free Railway System very little thought, since then we have examined the matter more thoroughly. We do not now hesitate to declare ourselves in favor of the System advocated by our friend. We shall support no one for the office of Senator or Repre sentative who will not pledge himself in fa- vor'of the adoption cf stteh a law. This law has Ucfch adopted in the State ofNew York and is said to work admirably and we are confident that it would prove of the great est possible advantage to this Common wealth. One great source of Legislative corruption Would be dohe away with ; our Courts Wotlld no longer be the arena for ri val railroad combats; sections of country in want of railroad facilities would build up railroads whether it suited any peculiar monopoly or'not ; the few could no longer compel the many to bow in submission to to their heaviest tariffs, and every commu nity would have n railroad controlled by its own citizens. If this be the View of our neighbor sure ly thure is lio variance between us. Let us theu nominate men who will carry out our wishes though ten or fifteen railway monop olies i n the State may take a different view and spend a few millions to de feat us. GENERAL KOONTZ. The faet that General Koontz is again a candidate for re-nomination for Congress, has attracted favorable comment from the press in various portions of the State. We append below, a lew of tho many articles written on this subject, which we clip from papers now on our table: Gen. William 11. Koontz is announced as a candidate for re-ncminitlon For Congress in the Corner vet Herald. We are glad to see the General in the field again, and hope not a single obstacle will be thrown in his way. We are sure he will meet with no op-1 position from his friends on this side of the hills. It is conceded by all that he is enti tled to a re-nomiuation, and if we desire to do justice to one who has always been true to his party and principles, he will receive the nomination without a disenting voice. Two years ago he was fairly elected. Since that time he has been subjected to more an noyance and inconvenience than the emolu ments and honors of the office are worth, being kept out of his scat through the per sistent efforts of his enemies as well as the treachery of professed friends. In view of this, we think the General has double claims upon his party, and we hope they will be recognized.— Gettysburg Star. Gen. William H.Koontz is announced as a candidate for re-nomination in the Adams Congressional District. We trust that our friends in that District will give the General the nomination, that he may wipe out the wrongs of the last election, and prove again to the country that he is the undoubted choice of the people— Harrisburg Telegraph. Gen. Wm. H. Koontz is announced as a candidate for re-nomin\tion for Congress, in the Somerset Herald. We are glad to see the General in the field again, and hope not a single obstacle will be thrown in his way. —Pittsburgh Gazette, The abve Complimentary notices of Gen. Koontz are cut from the Somerset Ihrald- Ilis nomination is conceded throughout the district. As far as we have been able to learn their will be no other candidate in the field. The General deserves this at the hands of his constituents and we are happy to say that it will be accorded to him without op position. ttfWe shall enter the next editorial con vention with "fear and trembling," lest inan unguarded, lnoment by some incident word or action we might provoke to wrath any one or all of that august body, and then, ah then imagine Our consternation and discom fiture at facing a Remington or a score of Remingtons. We expect every individual member of the fraternity to have one or the advertisements deceive us. Well, Gentle men of the press, we have never carried a "pop-gun," so that the mere intimidation of the presence of such an article will bring "us down." ttSL. The gentleman who controls the Huntingdon Globe appears to be very much concerned in regard to the welfare of the Union party up this way. We thank him for his interest, and can assure him that there is not a single Republican in the county that does not fully endorse Congress, and correspondingly express his contempt for the second Tyler. Bedford county has no wolves in sheep's clothing. Yerstehen sic? REMARKABLE CASE OF ABSENT-MIND EDNESS.—The Bedford Gazette in its issue of the 27th ult., quotes a long article on the Civil Rights Bill from the New York Her ald, representing it as a Republican journal. After this we shall not be surprised to see the same paper attempt to palm off Jeff. Davis, Breckenridgc and Lee upon its rea ders as original abolitionists. It wont do neighbor, even your own followers down in Southampton wont swallow half of that. *K3F~The Merchants' National Bank of Washington suspended payments on the 4th inst. The capital of the bank was $200,000, consequently its circulation, un der the law, was SIBO,OOO, which is of course secured. The liabilities of the bank aside from Government deposits, is estima ted at about $250,000. Soldier's Convention. The following call for a Soldier's Conven tion has been called for at Pittsburgh, on Tuesday, the fifth day of June, next: In obedience to the authority vested in mo by a roeolution adopted by the Con von tion of Soldiers, held in this city, on the eighth day of March, 1866,1 do hereby re quest the honorably discharged soldiers of Pennsylvania to meet in their respective Legislative districts, and elect delegates, not exceeding five in number, to represent their district in a Soldier's Convention, to be held in the city of Pittsburgh, on Tuesday, the fifth of June next, at ten o'clock, A. M. Where any Representative district com prises more than one county, the manner of electing the delegates is respectfully refer red to the soldiers of the district, for such conference as will result in a fair represent ation of each county. Citizens who have borne arms in defense of the nation against treason have especial interest in the purposes of this Convention, and it is desirable that as full a representa tion of the brave defenders of the country as possible should be secured on this occasion. J. F. IIARTRANFT, Late Brevet Major General, U. S. A. Papers favorable to the cause will please publish the above. THE City of Valparaiso, the Capital of Chili, in South America, was bombarded by a fleet of Spanish war vessels on the 31st of March, and the town and 120,000,000 worth of property was destroyed. The City was entirely defenceless. Commodore Rogers, and Gen. Kilpatrick, American Minister to Chili, offered to interfere in defence of the town, and so did the French Minister, but the British Admiral and the British Minis ter refused to co-operate with them, and backed out at the last moment. Valparaiso is said to have been one of the most beauti ful cities in South America. The quarrel between Spain and Chili grew out of a con tested right of possession to the Chinca Gu ano Islands.

THE WHEAT CHOP.— Our information from every quarter, if we except limited re gions, assures us of the unusually promising appearance of the wheat crop. We do not refer merely to Pennsylvania or adjoining States, but to every wheat growing-section of the country. Even in the States lately in rebellion, where this grain is cultivated to any extent, the same accounts of glowing prospects reach us. In California the spring is very forward, and all growing crops wear a most encouraging appearance. In lowa, Wisconsin and Michigan—three of our coldest_States —the crop is said to be as promising as for many years. There was a comparatively small amount of snow fell the past winter, and though the frost has been severe, it was not so long continued as customary. In Virginia, where a lew weeks ngo the wheat crop was supposed to be a to tal failure, the late favorable weather has so much hanged the prospect as to promise a partial crop. This is said to be owing to the recent adoption of the drilling system which, burying the seed deeper and more uniformly, has gvien a crop, where, under the old broadcast system, none could have been expected. We have heard no com plaints about the wheat in western New- York, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri; &c., which is a good sign that there is no ground for complaint, as nobody is so ready to sound the alarm of short crops as the grain speculator of the west. — Gcrmantoicn Telegraph. AN attempt to assassinate the Emperor or Czar of Russia, very similar to the assas sination of President Lincoln, was made re cently. A Russian land-owner, who con sidered himself injured by the emancipation of the serfs, watched his opportunity, and as the Emperor was entering his carriage at St. Petersburg!), discharged a pistol within a few feet of his intended victim. The shot would probably have taken effect but for a peasant who stood by, and who turned aside the assassin's arm while in the act of firing. The hall, although passing close to the Czar, missed its aim. The peasant has been en nobled. The cursed greed of slavery was, as in the case of Lincoln, the motive for the dastardly act. Hon. Cornelius Cole, the new Senator from California, is in Washington, and states that a great majority of the people of the Golden Commonwealth stand steadily with Congress and that if an election were to be held to morrow the report of the Com mittee on Reconstruction would be over whelmingly sustained. THE report sent by the Associated Press of the opinions expressed by the several Secretaries at the late Cabinet meeting up on the plan of Reconstruction proposed By the Committee of FiftecD, >8 said to have emanated from Mr. Seward, one object be ing to put Mr. Stanton in a false position before the country. The special dispatches from Washingtr n all agree in representing that Mr. Stanton favored thei Congressional plan, instead of opposing it. — Eiittlmrgh Gazette. Major James Gleason, A. Q.
