itiebfoti) Inquirer. BEDFORD, PA., FRIDAY, XOV. | OBEI) TO LAH. One of the peculiar features of Amcri can character, that arrests the attention and wins the admiration of every intelli gent foreigner, is the universally acknowl edged supremacy of the law, and the im plicit obedience yielded thereto. It ia an essential quality without which republican governments cannot exist. Without it democracy would be forever a failure. It is a fundamental principle of all free governments, that the will of the peo ple shall be the law of the land. The measures of the majority, expressed by their votes at the ballot box and incorporat d in to the laws of the State by tluir represen lives, must be the law and to it im| : obedience must be render" ! by d if the • laws be obnoxious they mu-t -till' '• <no until, by a new appeal at the proper too -, the obnoxious features are removed in the >ame manner in which they were first pas cd. This feature of our national character forms the basis of our political stability and domestic quiet. This deference to law is the legitimate result of a general diffusion of intelligence. And in thi may be found incontrovertible evidence, that free, repub lican, constitutional governments can only exist permanently where the masses are ed ucated The respect for, and observance of law are the natural result of that intel ligence which can comprehend the tact, that whenever an obnoxious law is p-"- - d it may be openly and freely discussed and its unjust features held up before the public, until, convinced of its injustice, public opinion through the ballot-box decrees its repeal. Thus every act of the majority not founded on sonnd principles of strict and impartial justice is sure to be speedily exposed and promptly repealed by an intelligent public opinion expressed in a legal manner at prop er and regular intervals. Tt is becau-o of this assurance the method of reasoning by which it is reached being clear to every in telligent mind, that efforts at a forcible re sistance of obnoxious or unpopular laws are almost entirely unknown, e.-peciallv in the free States. The gigantic rebellion so re cently suppressed could never have arisen had the same degree of intelligence perva ded that deluded section of our country that prevails in the free States. No better ar gument than this is required to demonstrate the importance of educating the masse- of our people, yea its absolute necessity, if wc would preserve our free institutions and continue a law abiding people. It i- only the ignorant and degraded that will permit themselves to be blindly led by political demagogues into acts of violence as a means of redressing their grievances, under a re publican form of government. Compact party organizations, moving like dumb ma chinery at the will of a single leader, arc al ways to be deprecated, in a Democratic gov" eminent, as the unmistakable evidence of that degree of ignorance that thinks not for bui t/tiuUi; ■•<! keener*/ ,i... mischievous and dangerous direction of wily, scheming demagogues. On the other baud the fact, that the strict discipline of a party is impossible because of the diversity of opinion among its members, is one of the most cheering evidences of the safety with which the country's destinies may be en trusted to its earc. Diversity of opinion indicates independent thought and action, and no party, in which these conditions ex ist, however strong, can ever endanger our national liberty. The masses of such a | party can never be carried into unlawful ex- i cesses or forcible resistance to regularly en acted laws, by any leader or leaders what ever their popularity or ability. The ten dency to a strict obedience to existing law ever increases with intelligence and de creases with ignorance. There can be no greater or surer safeguard to our republican institutions than the general diffu-ion of in telligencc, and the education of the ma -ee; nor can there be any more dangerous, enemy to our liberties than an ignorant and degra ded populace. The one gives stability to free governments, the other hurries them to their downfall. Intelligence and liberty go hand in hand and rise or fall together. Ig norance is the friend and tool of tyrants alone. THE REACTION BUGBEAR. The copperhead papers arc teeming with Hauiing accounts of what they choose to call the "Great Reaction." True they have car ried New York by over 40,000 majority, which neither wc nor they expected, they have carried Ohio and Pennsylvania but by very small majorities and New Jersey and Maryland have gone with them. We are satisfied thet they shall rejoice while they may, but we predict that their joy will not be of long duration. The more prudent of their leaders already recognize this fact and their rejoicing at the present is tempered with fear of the future. They know that the much talked of reaction will prove de ceptive. Of the elections in ten States, on the .Ith inst, New York, New Jersey, and Maryland were carried by the Cops, while the other seven, despite of local issues, ne gro suffrage and woman's rights have goDe clearly and unequivocally Republican. In New York we had to bear the burthen of the excise law and Temperance question, while a hundred thousand voters through apathy and fancied security did not go to the polls, a largo majority of whom, as usual, were republicans. If in the fact, that, with out a national issue, with sabbath breakers, rum-suckers, outlaws, iu faet all the rabble of the country gathered to their ranks by party pledges, while the republicans were saddled with, the Temperance cause, the observance of the christian Sabbath, and the cause of law and order generally, (all good in themselves but improperly brought into the political arena,) they have only been able to carry three out of ten States, less than one third, they can find cause of rejoicing, in view of a national contest in which all those local questions will be dropped, wc can only say tbey are heartily welcome to all the joy they can get out of such a prospect. If a Presidential election were to be held to-uior row wc would sweep the country with more than half a million of a majority. THE UNION PACIFIC- *AIGKOAD- What It Is, w hat It Will Be. { i„, readers have heard of it lately, and r they will hear more of it at very brief inter- I vais FiV<r hundred miles of track have ! been laid from the East, and an artery for the iron way has been cut through the stony heart of the Sierra Nevadas on the West. For two or three years more along a line stretching across the Rocky Moun tains and through the Humboldt Valleys, there will be the bustle and rush of a great aruiy, with its long trains and busy camps, aud there will be a smell of burning powder, and shocks and echoes like a greet battle. Rut this army is not to destroy, but to cre ate. Its trains are not loaded with bristling weapons, but with picks and shovels, and its artillery sweeps away nothing but the defiant rocks that have stood for long ages in the way of advanciug civilization. In two or three years, the builders of the West coming East, and the builders of the East going West, will meet somewhere about Jiait Lake, aud then we shall have the gran de?t civic celebration of modern times. The two great divisons of a continent will be united amidst national rejoicings, and all the great officers and a host of the great people will be present to witness the august ceremony. We can now imagine, that we -ce the President of the United States driv ing the last spike to the rail which Is to bind the Atlantic and Pacific States together in a national unity and prosperity such as we have never known before. Thousands who have been waiting some better means of reaching California than a crowded steamer and near a month's passage offered, will seek homes among the gold mines aud gar dens by this new and speedy means of Tran sit. Vine growers from Germany will swarm upon her hills, than which none are more productive of wine; and far up the vast regions through Oregon, and Washing ton Territory, to our new Russian Posses sions, the tide of an increasing population will ebb and flow over this Pacific Railroad. The idea of the work was a grand one. It had become indispensable to the develop ment and safety of the nation, and nothing less than the nation's power could execute it. We are practically, to day, almost twice as far from San Francisco as from St. Peters burg, and in ease of war, one side of our country would be almost severed from the other. The nation needed this l'aeific Rail road to develop its vast territories, which arc ,o rich iu lands, mines, and treasure, and to overcome barbarism with the institutions ot religion, science and art. These, as well as other reasons, induced Congress to grant the most substantial aid to the two great companies that are now constructing the Pacific Railroad and tele graph line, and that have already spent over forty million dollars upon it. The land grant of 12,i500 acres to the mile is certainly uiuniliccnt, but it increases the value of every other acre in that vicinity tenfold. The grant of fifty million dollurs in Govern" ment bonds on which the U. S. Treasury pays the interest, and for which it takes a second lien upon the road as security, is large, but the Union Pacific Railroad carries troops, freights, and mails for the goveru llJl.SU io an amount WHICH pays ititn liueiesi several times over. No other public work ever gave such promise of future usefulness or profit. The Union Pacific, unlike other railroad companies,, is a thoroughly national Com pany. It derives its charter directly from Congress, and five Government Directors and three Government Commissioners as sist in the control and inspection of its affairs. It will be the great central railroad of the country, and of course, will be the artery of an immense commerce. And tbi.- answers the natural inquiry, "AVill the road pay !" We don,t see how it can help it. The traffic that is waiting for it and that will be developed by it is beyond contingency aud as there will be no rival line, it is verv l.kely that the Company will not forget to charge remunerative prices. The way, or local businc- - on but .125 miles, yielded over a million dollars in a single quarter of the present year, and shows that every section | is a productive property in itself as soon as completed. Under sueh circumstances, the Union Pacific Company has every reason to antici pate the most brilliant success, and wo do not wonder that it is inspired to make the greatest efforts to secure the completion ol the line at the earliest possible moment. Its stockholders have already paid in over five million dollars in money upon the work already done, and are able to supply ample means for construction. Rut if a company which has already shown so much energy could tail in finishing their work (which no one believes possible), it would not cease. The Government that holds the second lien upon the road would be compelled to come in and complete it to protect its own inter ests, and the security of the First Mortgage Rondholders would remain unimpaired. Hon. John J. Cisco, for many years Assis tant Treasurer of the United States in New York, is one of the Directors, and also the Treasurer of this Company. He is well known to be a gentleman of most conserva tive opinions and careful judgment in all financial matters, and we notice that he recommends these bonds as among the infest securities. FIVE THOUSAND persons have recommen ded the pardon of William Johnson, of Al toona, who was convicted for counterfeiting at the last term of the United States District Court and sentenced to the Western Peniten tiary. If Johnson had stolen a mackerel or a loaf of bread to feed a starving family, it would have been hard to have gdttcn five persons to sign a petition for his pardon. Rut he is a rich knave, who became opulent by Lis rascality, which accounts for the alacrity with which his pardon is sought. Of course Johnson, the President, will par don Johnson, the counterfeiter, on the principle of a fellow feeling making, him wondrous kind.— liarritburgh Telegraph. Johnson has since been pardoned. DR. MCDO, the conspirator, who is a pris oner at the Dry Tortugas, faithfully attended the sick in the yellow fever epidemic there, all the other Surgeous being prostrated. He didn't lose a case, and in consideration of his services, efforts are being made to obtuin a pardon for him. WEST VIRGINIA ELECTION—IBS7.

KHOM WASHINGTON. The Bradley Cane —Judge Fisher .Sustained —Bradley turned out of Court. WASHINGTON, NOV. 9. —In the Supreme Court of the I>i.-trict of Columbia to day Mr. Bradley read a statement in answer to the rule of the Court for him to show cause why he sbonld not be excluded from the Bar as a practicing attorney, owing to his former difficulty with Judge Fisher. The Hon. Robert J. Walker made an argument in his behalf, when the full court, through Chief Justice Carter, sustained the order of Judge Fisher, heretofore made sus pending Mr. Bradley as a practitioner at the Bar. Justice Carter, in the course of his re marks. said it was a painful duty, but it. was necessary that the court should sustain its dignity and punish the contempt. Mr. Bradley thauked the Court for the delicate manner in which it had announced its decision, but said that he long ago con templated retiring altogether from the Bar, but that the present manner of severing his connection with the Courts rendered the separation more unpleasant. THE SL'KRATT CASE. Attempt to Burn the Rogers. WASHINGTON, November 7. —Some per sons unknown, kindled a fire yesterday morning, about ten o'clock, in the law office ofE. C. Carrington, District Attorney, ad joining the police headquarters, on Louisiana Avenue. The fire was kindled in the corner ofthe room, behind hisdesk, and the flames would have done much damive had the fire not been discovered and extinguished by the detectives before it had gained much headway. The book case under which the fire was built was filled with valuable papers many of them being letters and other pa pers used as evidence in the Surratt case; and it is pretty certain that this attempt was to destroy these papers. THE SUNDAY CAK QUESTION. Opinion of the Supreme Court. —Decision of Judge Strong Reversed. I'lTTsnGßoii, Nov. 7.—ln the Supreme Court this morning, the decree of the Court below in the case ofSparhawk A al. vs. The Cnion Passenger Railway Company, of Philadelphia, was reversed, and the bill dis missed, by a majority opinion. Justices Strong and Agncw dissenting. The rever sal is made upon radical grounds entirely, and the opinion is full aud ably written. Judge John M. Read, in a lengthy opiu ion, takes the broad ground that the run ning of the cars on Sunday is "a work of necessity and charity." Judges Woodward and Thompson say that if the running on Sunday is illegal, the remedy is at law and not in equity. COAI. AND IRON IN KLROPE. The l/>ndon Time, savs it hears from Liege that ttie price or coat is itkH> to rati. •*A - orders have come to hand to meet the re quirements of domestic consumption, but the industrial consumption has been reduced in conecquence of the complete or partial idleness of many works. Purine the first eight months for this year the imports of pig iron into France were '.'8,799 tons, or only 9,f*K> less than in the corresponding period of IXB6. The direction of the Dc cazeville works having sought to reduce wages, the workmen struck; an interven tion of the authorities and concessions on the part of the managers of the works were found necessary in order to restore order. Another blast fnrnacc has been blown out in Belgium (at Cbatclencau;: a rolling mill the basin of the centre has also been stopped. Some contracts for iron and plates arc said to have been concluded at Liege, but at far from remunerative rates. M. Laugrand-Dumoneeau, a well known Brussels financier, has brought for ward a scheme for an Austro Hungarian railway, from Ivaschan to Oderberg, with a branch from Abos to Eperies, or altogether two hundred and twenty-eight miles. The enterprise being wholly a Belgian alliiir, Belgian industrials will, no doubt, supply the rails and plans should the lines be car ried out as proposed." WE are told by the monthly report of the Commissioner of Agriculture that a larger wheat crop never has been raised in this country than duriDg the present *eason, though it is not as large as the breadth sown might have led us to expect. The most noticeable increase has been in the Southern States, with the exception of Texas. Oats and rye are estimated aliove the yield of last year, barley slightly below, beans and peas are an average. In corn, the cash value, and the fattening and sus taining qualities, are greater than last year. Sorgo cultivation generally is reduced; buck wheat is an average crop, potatoes a poor one, and in tobacco a decline is indicated. Cotton is estimated to amount to 2,000,(XX) of bales, with a probability that it will lie one-fourth more than this. The stock of old wheat on hand is very low. A BOi.i) and ingenious scheme is propros ed by a Dr. John McHenry, of Ijouisiaua, by which he desires to unite the waters of the Missouri with those of the Gulf of Mexico, through a new channel. This channel is to begin at Kansas City, on the Missouri, and to run to a branch of the Osage, which is to be connected by a canal with the Neosho river at the falls; thence it is to run two hundred and fifty miles to Fort Gibson, on the Arkansas, and down that river to Fort Smith; then to pass around the base of the San Boles Moun tain into a branch of the Red river, and thence down the Red and Sabine rivers to Sabine Bay three hundred miles, and so on to the Gulf. _ A private letter fromjthe interior of South Carolina says that the most abundant crop is now harvesting known for many years. Corn is selling for fifty cents a bushel, but there is little sale for it, as few have money to purchase. There is much alarm among whites of that part of the State of threats uttered by some negroes, A dispatch from Manchester, England, states that it is regarded as probable that all prisoners who have been tried and condemned to death before the special commission there, will have their sentences commuted; except the three most prominent ones, Allen, Gould and Larkin, who are shown by evidence to be the actual murderers of policeman Beeds. IT is understood that the President com menced the preparation of his annual mes sage on Thursday. Visitors, as a general thing will not he received by the President until after the message shall have been completed.
