SUNBUEY, MARCH 5, 1S73.
The Tariff Restoration Bill.
TTe received a telegram from Washington
yesterday, announcing the important fact
that the bill had passed, restoring the tariff
duties orcertain manufactured articles as it
was before 1872, when a reduction of ten per
cent, was made by an act of Congress. The
friends of the restoration of this ten per
cent, duty, had a closely contested fight
with the free traders, but came off victori
ous. The Ilouse bill passed the Senate on
Tuesday night by a dose vote, (30 yeas to
29 nays). This is a it at and important vic
tory for our workingm en nd mechanics over
the free traders of the South and West,
who assisted by I mocruic Northern
dough-faces, made a strong effort to pros
trate and ruin the great industries that give
life and prosperity to our treat State. In
this contest no one has manifested greater
interest than our worthy member of Con
gress, Hon. John IX Packer. Thero has
been no act cf Congress this session so im
portant to the interests of Pennsylvania as
this, and its passage cannot fail to have a
most beneficial effect upon all kinds of
business.
Hon. Simon Cameron'. In 1SC2, when
there were no adequate means, or facilities
for public defense, and Congress bad ad
journed for an indefinite period. President
Lincoln directed the Secretary of War, Geu,
Cameron, and Mr. Wells Secretary v.f tfca
Navy, to arrange for organ'.ztug trxpt
and providing the ttwssary suppli... and
transportation, which tvasacwrdiisy done
by those officers. Tor this act a resolution
of ccusure was passed upun those officers
at the next arssiou of Cougr. On Tues
day bsl, the House, by a aoaminous vote,
directed that the resolution of censure
passed iu 1SG2, upon Simon Cameron, be
rescinded. This kss but a simple act of
justice to an ItouocaLk and patriotic states
man. The high tribute paid Gen. Came
ron by all the members of both parties, from
all part of the Union, ou tho. passage uf
.he resolution, to his integrity and worth,
is a severe rebuke u those who dare not
face him, but cowardly and assassin-like
arc constantly trying to stab him in the
dark. It muni certainly be very gralifyiug
to the venerable and patriotic statcruan to
see that he has 'overwhelm d" bis enemies,
and in bis decliniug year3 is supported
and respected by friends of .".11 parlies from
, every part of the Union.
The Local Option met with a Waterloo
defeat last week in the House at Harrisburg.
by a vote of 128 to 50, for its repeal. The
reason assigned for the repeal is, that the
law proved ineffectual, that it did not les
son druukenness, nor reduce crime in the
localities where the law was adopted. In
fact in many instances liquor was sold in
violation of the law with impunity, and no
attempt made by any one to punish the
offenders. For this the advocates of tem
perance are in a measure responsible.
Tbeir neglect in not in forcing the law has
given many a bad opiuiou of its merit. Un
less a law is enforced there is no use for its
enactment. But iu this case there were
perhaps iue reasons why some of the
leaders of the temperance cause refused to
bring violators of the law to justice. The
fear of exposure f tl.eir inconsistency, in
.dvoca iaa the temperance cause when they
arc interested in the traffic of liquor,
is undoubudly putting a death blow
to the toinrauct cauae. Whm men prf
f r love tor a cause, aud it is fouud that
its only a hypocritical pretext fr personal
interest, it will sooner or later fail. This
has been too much the case in the temper
ance cause. Men have worked themselves
to the front rank for personal interest, who
are kuowu in private to be in more need of
reform than those they try to jiersuadc to
turn away from the evil. Such men are
an obstacle to the cause, and do more in
jury than the sellers of rum. Ir some of
these wolves in sheep's clothing were cast
off, the temperance party would no doubt
receive additions of men with more sinceri
ty to accomplish the good object wished for,
without expecting to profit themselves.
So long as the leinperauce party is lead by
men devoid of priuciple themselves, and
who do not open their mouths to enforce
restraining laws that arc on the etaiuU:
books, we caunot hope for any improve
ment in the temperance cause, nor will
there be any use of the passage of laws to
prevent the liquor traffic.
That Mule Aiteaks Again! Wc
uotice by the Itafltj of Wednesday that
Mr. Chas. Hottensteiu, County Auditor,
and who was playing "mulcM while the
accounts of the Commissioners aud County
Treasurer were being audited by the board
of Auditors, has filed a minority leport.
If Mr. Ilottenstein-s report is not got up
in better shape than his statements in the
Jkmccrat last summer, it will greatly puz
zle the Court to understand it. As be is
one of the "pure" Democratic officers of
the county, we presume that be will ask
that his report be also published iu connec
tion with the majority report, to help swell
th2 expenses, and that he be allowed extra
itompensation for bis laliors and clerk hire
in getting it up. Mr. H. is. however, en
titled to some credit for his persistency in
showing himself a blockhead, with the de
termination that the couuty should pay
for bis mulish obstinacy and conceit, Mr.
Jlottensleia has no right to present a min
ority reoort. If the. Auditor's lUport,
which is the report of toe majority, is not
correct, his proper course is to file excep
tions to it when presented for confirmation
in court.
Tuc Legislature never seems happier
than when it is tinkering with the liquor
laws. The latest proposed amendment is
one offered by Mr. Lusk, which provides
for a fine of alO or five day's imprisonment,
or both, at the discretion of the Court, up
on any person who is found iutoxicated.
Ia case the liquor is purchased on Sunday,
the defendant can necure his release by
testifying where he secured it, and the
party selling it is then to be prosecuted.
If the laws already on the statute books
were inforced, perhaps the Legislature
could be relieved of the labor of enacting
any more on this subject.
Latest News.-The 43d Congress ad
journed sine rlk yesterday. The "Force
Bill," wbich passed the Ilouse, failed in
tbc Senate. The Bounty bill was defeated
in the Senate. All appropriation bills
passed.
Trft Kepublioan .State Central Commit

legislature, will help in fubpidiag the
I nrbnlent element in that Stat.
We last week published the reports of
the majority and minority of the Congres
sional Investigation Committee in the
Louisiana case. The minority, Messrs
Hoar, Wheeler and Fiye are Republicans,
the majority. Messrs Phelps aud Foster are
Liberals, aud Messrs Marshell and Potter
are Democrats. The majority report is
brief and inconclusive except that it de
clares that uo intimidation of voters was
practical at I he election of 1874, aud that
the action of the Returning Board iu de
claring certain conservative candidates for
the Legislature lllcally elected, and in re
fusing them certificate of election was an
usurpation. There U no statement of the
anarchy which exists iu Louisiana; no
causes assigned that leri to it nor any sug
gestion of a remedy save the withdrawal of
troops. Tlie minority committee appear
to have done better, and given U9 an an
alysis of the causes f the complications ex
isting in that State, which is corroborated
by tbc Southern members of Congress,
Nsuinstn vddrctfi counseling their people
to abstain hereaf.er, from the acts of blood
an I cruelty wbich have produced a reigu
of terror in neai ly every Southcn State.
The majority c mimittee's report only goes
as far as loppic g off the branches, while the
minority dug t o the root of the tree. Their
report will probably stand as the ablest and
eo ii j Wte au alysis ever made of the social
and political, disorders of the South. This
admission -of the violeuce, bloodshed and
law!es3ues s whic h had been prevailing at
the ScHttb , is contained in the appeal to the
Wtite Leagues and Kn-Klux to keep quiet
fee a w'aile. It means this :
"Geutlenicn, there are two very import
ant factious just about to come off in New
Hampshire and Connecticut. . Our Demo
cratic frieuds in those States are not very
fastidious, uor very easily moved ; but they
do not like to be met, every morning, while
prosecuting a canvass, with reports of
Coushalta massacres and Vicksburg
slaughters. It is advisable, therefore, that
you should theathe your glittering bowie
knives aud pocket your revolvers for a little
while. There will be just as many niggers
to shoot at, after those elections, as uow ;
therefore, put a present restraint upon
your cut-throat proclivities, and alter the
Connecticut election is over, you can make
up for lost lime aud bag all the human
game you want. Wc can face it out, after
that, and heap ridicule upon the "outrage"
business, as we have done heretofore."
This is the sum total of what the Southern
address really means ; but it is none the
less a confession, as we have said, that the
"outrage"' stories were records of actual
facts."
While at Harrisburg lately wc were
glad to find that Northumberland county,
for once in u long pel iod, was ably repre
sented by her iiicmbera of the Legislature.
Dr. J. J. John the Republican member is
represented to us as one of the most indus
trious and euergetic members of the Ilouse,
aud by his exemplary deportment has won
the esteem of the members among whom
be exercises considerable iu'flueuce. Being
a man of ability and integrity.be was placed
upon several important committees in
which he is an ardent worker. It was rc
marked to us by a gentleman well acquaint
ed with our legislatures for years past, thatr
Northumberland county bad a member in
Dr. John, who was destiued to make bis
mark.
The Democratic tuo ruber W. P. Withing
ton, Esq., is one of the foremost on the De
mocratic side of the House, aud is looked
up to as a leader among the Democracy.
Looking over thai tide of tin: House we
confess, that by aparum-v, the inateral
that body is composed of,the Democracy of
Northumberland can well lie proud of their
member.
THE letter of our Washington correspon
dent was received too late for publication
this week. We publish the following
extract therefrom in reference to a gallaut
officer in the late war, and a popular geu
tleman in his sectiou of the State (3d) :
"I had the pleasure of meeting Colonel
Andrew Stewart, the Kepublicau candidate
in the 21st District at the last electiou.
The District is largely Democratic but his
iiersoual popularity made him many votes,
although beaten, be reduced the lieinocra-
tic majority nearly oue half. The Colonel
is a tine looking, congenial, and intelligent
geutlemati, and the sou of the old 'Tariff
war horse,' Audrew Me wart, fcr. I have
beard his uame mentioned for the nomina
tion of the Kepublicau party for Stale
Treasurer, aud if the caudidate is to be
chosen from the western part of the State,
I know of oo oue who would be more pop
ular. Ilis tine military record, his pluck
aud ability, gifted with tho energy he in
herits from his father, aud the prestige his
father's uame gives him. would make him
a popular candidate."
The Senate having passed the Ilouse bil
for the admission of Colorado and New
Mexico as Slates, with some immaterial
amendments, it is almost certain that the
anxious jieople of those Territories will
have their wishes gratified. Colorado has
a population of 140.000. with 73." miles of
completed railroads constructed, at a cost
of $30,000,000. New Mexico has also
grown rapidly in wealth and population
since 1S70. The conditions annexed to the
privilege arc that the proposed State Con
stitutions are not to be voted on uuul July,
17', and that those instruments shall se
cure jKiifect political and civil equality to
all the people of the new Commonwealths.
These conditions are just to the people of
the United Stairs as well as to the petitiou
rs. The Houee Civil Bights Bill passed the
Senate on Saturday, and liae been approved
by the Presideut. The act ha) no reference
to schools, but securts to colored people
tho right to enter public resorts railway
cais aud the jury box. For refusal of these
lights the fine is five hundred dollars for
each offence, and suits under the act can
be instituted in the United States courts.
The bill nassed the Senate by a vote of 33
yeas to 2'i nays.
There is a general opiuiou in Austria
that a war with Germany isiiniuiiu-nt, and
that Bismark was mana-uvriug to at range
matters so that Austria may aeetu to be the
aggressor. The Emperor Francis Joseph
is very desiious that peace should continue
and avers to the discussion of the war ques
tion. It having pleased the Archduke
Juliana Sal valor of Austria to write a
pamphlet declaring that an Austro-German
war was imminent, his ImjHTiul relative,
the Emperor Francis Joseph, plad him
under arrest aud degraded him from mili
tary rank. If there be any faith in treaties,
Russia is bound to assist Austria in the
event of Germany forcing the latter into
the field.
It is said that "straws show which way
the wind blows," and judging from the
straws set in motion by the breeze started
by the late municipal elections in Pennsyl
vania, the Baltimore Amtvimn has this
to say of the prospects next November :
"The result of tbc Pennsylvania local elec
tions makes it patty plain that the Itepufc
licans have a largo majority in the State,
and will carry it as usual this year. Gov
ernor Hartranft will undoubtedly be renom
inated, and from the indications as thus
j iwn will certainly b re-elected."
"The Fouck Bill." The Republican
majority in the Ilouse of Representatives
at Washington, passed the "force bill" on
Saturday last,aud it will.most probably.pass
the Senate before the close of the session.
It is a desperate remedy for a desperate
disease. It is called the "forct bill" be
cause it proposes to empower the President
to use forcible means to put down White
League outrages, and other acts of violence
against the laws and the public safety, and
to protect tho weak aud despised from the
persecution of the intolerant and strong.
This is probably the last act of legislation of
the kind that will ever pass. The Phila
delphia Press says "all other means for the
pacification of the South and the protection
of the newly-enfranchised citizens having
failed, armed insurrections still being in
existence, and the authorities of the several
States being harmless to suppress them,
the bill, objectionable as it is in many re
spects, was an imperative necessity, which
could not be evaded. As Mr. Hoar's com
mittee in its report on Louisiana said :
'Some of tbc occurrences which we are con
strained to report are of a nature so cruel
and barbarous as to excite astouishment in
any people making the least pretence to
civilization. But bloodshed, lawlessness,
attempts by minorities to gain political
power by force, delusions iuflamiog great
bodies of people, unrelenting hatred of op
ponents nnd the use of these as instruments
by designing and unprincipled leaders all
these things were almost inevitable. We
find tlx'in existing to an extent which has
almost overthrown republican government
in one State, and, if not checked, are a
dangerous menace to the peace of the whole
country.' These things roust be slopped.
The Southern people refuse to do it, aud
compulsion is necessary.
Many of the features of the bill are harsh,
and were ouly accepted by Republican
members because there was no alternative.
As it was. thirty-three recorded themselves
against it. The conferring of the power to
suspend the writ of habeas corpus upou
the President, to be used at his discretion,
is a warrant repugnant, to every Americau
President ; the extension of the civil and
criminal jurisdiction of the United Stales
courts to cover the offences enumerated in
the bill is also an uupleasaut innovation,
while the immense number of Federal
officials which the bill permits to lie ap
pointed,' the army of supervisors, marshals,
and deputy marshals, increases its unpopu
larity, and "is certain to be the cause of
complaint agaiust the Republican party.
However, the. bill -as inevitable. With
out it the Government is impotent. The
great power it creates, dangerous as thej
seem, can. we believe, be safely entrusted
to the President. Their use depends upon
the Southern people themselves. They can
avoid the necessity of their exercise. As
Mr. Barrows ia his eloqneut speech on
Saturday advised them : 'Strip the hide
ous masks from your outlaw Kuklux. dis
band your White Leagues, visit swift aud
condign punishmeut on your unarrested
and untried felons, enforce State and United
States laws with a firm baud ; jrive to hu- i
man life security, and to projierty prelec
tion ; recognize the equality of all men be
fore the law, ami their right the fuiieBt
guardianship ; put out the tires of your
burning churches aid school-houses ; make
the freedom of the. ballot so secure that
voters shall not lx intimidated; let free
speech reign ; let ostracism be unknown ;
renew your allegiance to the Government ;
extend a generous welcome to Northern
labor and Northern capital ; abandon all
hojie of the lost cauie ; in a word. Accept
the fciiualion in good faith, and you will
have a jieace that will iviju supreme."
The- Northern C entral Railroad.
ANNUAL KEfOKT TO THE STOCKHOLDERS.
The annual meeting of the stockholders
and the board of directors of the Northern
Central Railroad Company was held in
Baltimore on Thursday. Colonel Thomas
A. Scott, the newly-elected president, sub
mitted the annual report of the condi
tion jf the nwd. The report states the
revenue of thu main line, with its leased
and controlling roads, was S4.076.5u0.43,
aud the excnscs were S3.3S3,.Vi3.!.), leav
ing as net earnings $1.2'.t2,940.50.
In comparison with the year 1873. there
was a decrease in yross earnings of S354,
803.15, equal to 7 per cent., and a decrease
in the opperatim: expenses of S3S7.881.30,
equal to 10 3-10 jier cent. The increase
in the net earnings was 233.016.15, or 2
6 10 per cent. In the cxpeuses for mainte
nance of way is included the cost of steel
rails, purchased at an increased price over
that or iron of 240,000. The operating
expenses were 72 4 10 per cent, of gross
earuiiiL's, which, in comparison with 1S73,
shows a reduction of 2 5 10 per ceut. The
coal tonnage of the Northern Central Rail
road iu 1S73 was 705,440 tons, and in 1K74,
7C2.023 t-.ns.
The follow ing improvements recommend
ed to be undertaken during the current
year : A giain elevator at Cauton, with a
storage capacity of ."iCO.OOO bushels aud a
total transfer capacity of 7,000,000 to 10,
000,000 bushels per annum ; a warehouse
for rolling freight at Canton, 500 feet by CO.
and a coal wharf and trestle at Canton, 600
feet long and 60 feet wide, over which 500,
000 tons er annum can be transferred.
Iu order to meet the construction expen
ditures necessary during the current year
for terminal facilities aud to place the com
pauy in funds to retire its tloating debt, it
is proposed to ask the stockholders to give
authority to sell 21,000,000 of the reserved
consolidated general mortgage bonds, and
also to give the board a further authority
to sell the real estate not required for rail
road purposes, aud so many of the assets id
the company as in the judgment of the
board can be sold without detriment to the
interests of the shareholders.
With regard to the freight war uow wag
ing betweeu the Baltimore aud Ohio Rail
road and the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany, with which latter this road is asso
ciated in interest, the report makes this
allusion :
Within the past few weeks severe com
petition for through tiallic has been inau
gurated by the Baltimore aud Ohio Rail
road Company, perhaps with the view of
deterring this company from proceeding
with its proposed terminal facilities at the
city of Baltimore. It wiil not have that
effect. The policy of destroying the best
interests of the shareholders of the roads
without ultimate advantage to the public
who patronize them must produce such
results as will in due time secure the adop
tion of a wiser and more conservative
course, and thus correct the evils referred
to.
Thr i( (j u the Schuylkill at Manayunk
broke up on Thursday last. The water
during ihe night rose rapidly to twenty
feet above its usual height, and only four
feet below the highest point ever reached,
submerging all the houses in the lower part
of the town and forcing the occupants to
abandon them and their contents. The
gas works were overflowed, and the streets
were in darkuess. All the mills, except
oue, had suspended, throwiug at least
2,000 persons out of employment.
Democratic Pi:ktknsions. That
staunch Republican journal, the Philadel
phia North American, in an able article on
the absurd pretensions of the Democratic
party, litters sentiments with which loyal
men in every part of the country heartily
agree. It says the Democrats for several
years have been hinting at, suggesting, ask
ing and demanding the surrender of the
Government into their keeping. During
the war they stood nt'nv off and cursed, or
araued to prove the South iu the right and
the nation iu the wrong, or actively intri
gued through rebel emissaries in Canada to
frustrate the efforts of the nation to pre
serve free government, or secretly Sought
to hand the ualiou aud its destinies over to
foreign arbitration. Never, at any time
during that struggle, did a leading journal
of that party heartily second the people in
their meat endeavor to prove mat tree
government is invincible to assaults from
the sword from within. Never, during
that jieriod of up-heaval, did any lcadiu!
Democratic journal chronicle a Union vie
lory without employing qualifying phrases
intended to dampen the enthusiasm of the
people aud weaken their con lid"uce in the
men who direeted our armies and provided
lor their re enforcement. Every leading
journal of that party, whin il is came ne
cessary to choose where it would stand
when the rclicls lowered the national Hag
and pluuderrd the national arsenals and
Custom-houses, qualified its condemnation
of the acts with so many its and huts that
the condemnation lost its point. To ihe
inhuman barbarities practiced upon help
less prisoners of war at Libby, al Belle Isle,
at Andt-rsonville, and at Salisbury, no lead
ing Democratic paper entered its protest.
If they noticed these barbarities at all il
was ouly to doubt their exisleuce or to ex
cuse them by countercharges of hardships
put upon rebel prisoners of wariu northern
prison camps. The party and Us press
were essentially aud heartily, though iu a
cowardly way, rebel in all their sympathies
and rebel in their tactics. And so pro
nounced was this sympathy that a stranger
had no difficulty in singling out every De
mocrat iu the crowds that gathered around
the bulletiu boards and in the post offices
throughout the country ou the arrival of
stirring news from the seat of war. Every
Republican who roads this can to-day iden
tify hundreds of Democrats who more or
less openly rejoiced when our arms suffer
ed defeat, or mourned when the forces of
rebellion aud treason were driven back.
These things are not forgotten. They will
never be forgoltou.
All this went to prove, and did prove,
that the rebellion was not merely a revolt
of the South against the North. It was a
rebellion of the people. That party had
demauded a coutinuance of their lease of
power, and the people refused the demand.
Then the bold leaders, who were always
located in the slave States, raised the stand
ard of revolt. They did uot rebel against
injustice oppression, for they had occupied
ttie seats of power for a quarter of a cen
tury and more, and still sat in them when
they lowered the flag and plundered the
custom-houses, navy-yards, and arsenals.
They had their way and undisputed sway.
Tiiey had every branch of the Government
in their control. But the people decided
to change servants, and the servants in
possession endeavored to become masters.
The bold leaders in this attempt to over
throw popular government did not intend
to reckon without their host. They had
been feeling the pulse of Democratic politi
cians in the North for jears. They found
that pulse beating iu harmony with their
own. They were fully assured of the mor
al fupjrt of the Northern leaders, iilertiy
CSSC111-..0 respect inferior to the Southern
leader-of the pan.. t, latter had the
assent of the former to any aeu- .i,,.
might elect to take. They hoped for more.
They expected that the Northern leaders
would be able loco-operate with them by a
counter-revolt in the supreme moment.
They had been assured that Ihe Northern
masses would never couseut to draw the
sword against the South. Had they un
derstood the situation at the North, they
would have rushed iuto revolt witfiout deli
beration ; and had they paused to delibeiate
they would uot have revolted at all. They
did uot know, what was evident enough
to ohserving people here, that the only
stren"tli of the Democratic party iu the free
North 'corresponded very nearly to that
which Great Britain brought agaiust he J
colonies. . The moral uprising all over the;
North from 1855 down to 1860 had sub-J
traded the bone and sinew of the Demo-i
cratic party from the organization, leaving'
a mass of flabbiness.
It became evident from the very out-1
break of the rebellion that the bouthern
leaders of the party had been deceived.
They had the sympathy of the Northern
leaders, and have had it from that hour
to this. But these Northern leaders were
and are a set of emasculated politicians,
professionals, who babble about statesman
ship and wisdom just as shams ever babble
much about that of which they know least.
They sympathized with the rebellion, but
the Northern masses did not sympathize
with them. Their mercenaries were a mere ,
dron in the bucket, and the enthusiasm of
patriotic devotion licked them us a devour
ing flame. The Democratic house of cards
ciumblcd iuto ruins at the very onset.
Aud the leaders found themselves without
a following. They failed to teach them
wisdom. What they had promised to do.
could not be done, and so they did what
ihty could. They held back, they ottered
objections to what others proposed, they
excused, they palliated, they falsified both
history and current fact; and then they
intrigued against the nation and encour
aged division. Finally they applied to an
ambassador of a foreigu Power, by one of
their chiefs, to invoke, foreign mlerrance
in the settlement of a quarrel they had I
themselves inaugurated. They fatight the j
people inch by inch dowu to the close of,
the war. They denounced emancipation j
as a violation of the Constitution, yet cxer-,
cised and defended their Southern col-1
leagues who had repudiated the iustrument I
altogether. They are still groaning over al-,
leged violations of the Constitution, and
those who groan the loudest are such as re
pudiated il in 18CI, and following. These
Democratic leaders set up us defenders of tho
Constitution, whereas but the other day '
they were in full accord, and are still in !
accord, with men who sought to destroy
it and all the rights aud benefits of
its guarantees. Such is the record,
which was not wiped out in 1872, and
which caunot be wiped out while the
world stands. Such as it is, that party
must stand or fall by it,
Six years ago last October, the rebellion
now existiug in Cuba, broke out. In that
time eight Captain Geuerais have wrestled
with it. The eighth, Concha, now retires
aud is succeeded by the brutal and bloody
Valmaseda ; the murderer of school boys ;
the author of the most infamous edict ol
rapine and murder issued in inoderu times;
the choice of the boy King Alfonso, who,
by this selection, shows his nature and
what he mettn by pacification.

The Democratic State Treasurer of Geor
gia is short in his accounts about a million
of dollars. As he is a blue-blooded native
Georgian, says "whar" for where, drinks
whisky, and swe rs by Toombs and Gor
don, and is ueilher a negro, a Republican
nor a carpet-bagger, the difficulty is to com
prehend how a high toned native, believing
in ' home rult;"aud detesting Grant and all
his "minions," could possibly be .guilty of
such a thing. The Democrats of Georgia,
as of all the oilier States. Is-iug the fics of
corruption in office, and being committed
to the doctrine that the Democracy is the
only party that can honestly administer the
Government, it behooves them to explain
how this big steal came about. It cannot
be blamed upon Grant ; nor upon the Re
publicans ; for, thanks to the Ku Klux, no
Republican is allowed to hold office in
Georgia. Democracy has full sway there,
uncontrolled and uninfluenced by any min
ority parly. The blessed reign of the bowie
knife ant) pistol is unbroken throughout the
length and breadth of the Slate. If we are
to look for the pure aud unadulterated ar
ticle of Democracy auy where, surely it must

The Hours' Journal, February 56, says
the quantity of coal sent from the Schuyl
kill regiou for the last week was 11,946
tons, against 12,646 tons for the corres
ponding week last year. The supply sent
from all the region for the last week was
123 724 tons anthracite, and 37,005 tons
bituminous; for the. week 160,819 tons,
against 2U5.0'.Ki tons for the corresponding
week last. year. Decrease, 64,277 tons.
The whole supply sent so far this year is
1.802.786 tons, against 2.227,860 tous to
corresponding week last year ; decrease so
far 425,074 tons, of whch 417.608 tons are
anthracite.
As an illustration of the universality of
the tenduuey of modern commercial thought,
it is an interesting fact that almost every
where in civilized Christendom the specu
lative mind has undergone a change with
reference to values, and is guided by
greater caution than ever in the selection
of investment schemes. Iu France, the
total investments of capital, last year, for
railroads, were 2406,000.000, against 2964,
000,000 in 1873, a decline of more than one
half; while in England, where, during the
same period, the railroad enterprises were
oflered capital to the amount of 21,194,
000, the new railroads attracted only 4,
010,000, the older companies receiving
17.184,300. These figures tell their own
story. We shall all start afresh, presently,
but it will be on a lower pressure, and a
sounder basis.
Scrautou, Mauch Chuuk and Allentown
are the three most important points for
Boston to reach the anthracite coal fields
of this State, and the papers of the latter
city are disputing over the question of the
shortest route. But they will not build a
bridge across the Hudson. In this connec
tion we observe that the Lehigh and Easton
Railroad Company has presented a petition
to the Massachusetts Legislature, setting
forth the advantages to that State of better
connections with that road and thereby
with the coal-fields, and pledging the road
to carry all coal destined for Massachusetts
will guarantee its first mortgage bonds to
the amount of five million dollars.
