On the third of April, 1837, a charter was granted by the Legislature of Pennsylvania to a corporation styled the "Pittsburg and Connellsville Rail road Company," which corporation also obtained a charter from the State of Maryland. The obj et of this company was understood to be the the construction of a railroad from Pittsburg, Pa., to Cumberland, Mil. Some twenty years elapsed after the date of its incorporation, before the company began to show any signs of life; but at last it built a part of the projected road, that now in operation between Pittsburg and Connellsville. P failed, however, during twenty seven years of its existence, to com plete the road to Cumberland. In 1861, the people of Somerset and Bed fo d counties despairing of the abili ty of the Pittsburg and Connellsville Railroad Company, to complete their road, and having received the most positive assurances from New York and other eastern capitalists, that if the charter of this company would be repealed and a new company, which they were about to organize, chartered, a road, having an eastern and western through connection, anil passing through the coal field of Somerset aid the center of . edford, would be made in a very short time, peti tioned the legislature for the revo cation of the Pittsburg and Connells ville charter and the incorporation o: tie proposed new company. Accord ingly, the Legislature revoked the P. & C. charter and incorporated the "Connellsville and Southern Pennsyl vania Railroad Company." The re peal of the P. & C. charter was made upon the ground that the act of 1837, which granted said charter, provided that "if the said company shall at any time misuse or abuse any of the privi leges herein granted, the Legislature may resume all and singular the rights and privileges hereby granted to the said corporation," and upon the allegation that as the said company had been in existence twenty seven years and had failed to fulfill the purpose ol its creation, it had misused and abused its corporate privileges. Since the re peal of the P. & C. charter and the in corporation of the new company, the whoie subject has been in litigation in tie State and IT. S. courts. The old company, notwithstanding the fact that it had been legislated out of exis tence, proceeded to tunnel the Alle ghenies, and the Commonwealth pro ceeded against the company by quo wirranto. This case was argued in the Supreme Court of this State, a few days ago, and resulted in judgment for the defendants. Judge Sharswood deliv ered the opinion of the court, which concludes as loliows: By the 2t)tn section of the original act of incorporation of April 3, 1837, it is provided that "if the said company shall at any time misuse or abuse any of the privileges herein granted, the Legislature may resume all and singu lar the rights and privileges hereby granted to the said corporation." The questions which naturally arise upon ttie construction of this provision are two—l. Is the Legislature constituted the sole and exclusive judge of the fact of misuse or abuse upon which their power to revoke is conditioned ? And 2. If not, what effect ought to be giv en to their act ? As to the Ist question upon the ordinary rules applieo to the interpretation of language, no difficul ty could arise. 'lf this were a con tract bet ween man and man it could not be pretended that when one party reserves the pow er to rescind in a certain event, he i> thereby constituted the judge wheth er the event has occurred. It is a con dition precedent to the exercise of tin power, and the party exercising it must prove affirmatively the execution ol the fact. The power of the Legisla ture in grants and contracts is not like the power of the English Parliament, it is limited and restrained by the pro visions of the Federal and State Con stitutions, so that it cannot impair contracts either made by itself or oth ers. It corresponds more properly to the nglish crown—as to which it is certainly the established law of that country that the King cannot derogate rm his own grant, and when an ex press power is reserved in a certain e vent or upon certain conditions, it must be proved affirmatively that the event has occurred, or the condition been fui ill led. What effect, then, are we to give to the act of Aug. 19, 18642 The plead ings leave but one question open for consideration, namely, whether upon the true construction of the act ot April 11, 1856, called in the argument the condoning act, all misuse or abuse of its corporate privileges by the com pany before that date was pardoned ami released. We have no difficulty in saying that upon these pleadings ft is admitted that no misuse or abuse had taken place, which would give any constitutional right to the Ligis hture under the twentieth section ol the original act of incorporation, to re- S'i u>* to- rights and privileges grant ed to the defendants and that the righ of eminent domain in this instance has no. been constitutionally exercised. We have given to all the points pre sented by the Commonwealth the most careful consideration, and on tiie whoh are of opinion that they have not been sustained. Judgmeut for the defen dants." This decision knocked the breath out 0 the Legislature and it at once hasten ed to restore to the Pittsburg and Con* I nellsville Co. the charter which wsia revoked in 1861. This, however, leaves the Connellsville and Southern Penn sylvania Company intact, and it re mains now to be seen which company will keep faith with the people. We understand that Mr. Hughert, the President of the Pittsburg and Connells ville company, who is said to be a very reliable man, has promised that "the cars shall run from Connellsville to Cumberland within one year from the date of the restoration of the charter." We hope most earnestly that this promise will be fulfilled. If it be, Mr. Hughert will deserve to be ranked among the first railroad men of the country. Meanwhile, we shall look, with renewed confidence, to the capi talists who promise to build the "Con nellsville and Southern Pennsylva nia." It is certainly their interest now to go ahead with the construction of the road. Philadelphia, especially, should perceive the necessity for a railroad which will divert to its own market, the trade which may, in a few years, be carried to Baltimore. But we shall see what we shall see. Y-E-H! The Bedford Inquire)', of last week, has an article appealing to the Radi cals of this county to organize for the Spring election. Yes! to organize for the election of men who will support the Congressional Negroizing of ten States of this Union ; for the election of men who assist in strengthening Con gress in its efforts to make the Blacks the political equals of the Whites throughout the whole Union ; for the election of men who form the pillars of that faction which has kept the con quered people of the South out of the Union for nearly three years; for the election of men who keep the country in perpetual turmoil by supporting a policy which keeps the Negro question in constant agitation ; for the election of men who cling to that party which keeps up a standing army of 50,000 men, at a cost of millions and millions per annum ; for the election of nun who vote the ticket of that party which has robbed the President of his Consti tutional powers and which threatens to throttle the Supreme Judiciary; for the election of men who are the local supports of that Radicalism, which, according to its founder, Thad. Ste vens, "acts outside of the Constitution for the election of men who favor the continuance of the Grand Negro Poor Mouse, the Freed men's Bureau, at a cost of millions of dollars per annum; for the election of men who belong to a party that compels the Government to pay gold to the bond-holding nabob and to stint the crippled soldier, and the dead soldier's widow and orphans with a miserable stipend in paper ; for the election of men who are tied, fet tered, riveted, to a party that has in vented the present system of federal taxation, whereby the poor and middle classes are forced to hear the burden of the Government, whilst the rich bond holders are permitted to go scot-free; aye, for the election of men who are responsible for the distress, misery and ruin which now curse this once happy land. By all means, let the liadiea s organize! If they want to elect any body holding their doctrines, they had better send to Massachuseetts for re inforcements. UAKRISBIUU. Our correspondent, "LEX," not com ing to time, this week, we shall make a brief reference to the more import ant transactions of the Legislature since our last issue. The bill to restore the charter of the Pittsburg and Con nellsville Railroad company, was pass ed without opposition in both houses. The reason of this unanimity was that the Supreme Court had virtually re stored the charter, and it only remain ed for the Legislature to register the decision of that tribunal. There is not the slightest doubt, that if the decision of the Court had been otherwise, the Legislature would not have restored this charter. Hence, no thanks to the Legislature from the Pittsburg and Connellsville people. The bill intro duced by the Democrats to repeal the law passed at the last session compell ing railroad companies to permit ne groes to choose seats in any of their cars, was reported from the Judiciary Committee in the House, but was re ferred back to the Committee by a vote of 42 yeas to 3'J nays, the Rads. voting yea, and the Democrats nay. Scarcely had this vote been taken, when Mr. Deise (Dem.) from the same Commit tee, reported a similar bill which was also referred back to the Committee, by the close vote of 43 to 41. Thus, it will be seen that the Radicals are de termined to cling to their black laws, and that they defy the will of the peo ple. No other legislation of general im|ortance, has come to our notice since our last. The Democrats in the L gislature deserve great credit for their vigilance and compactness of or ganization. THAD. TO THE RESCUE! Shout, Ye Rads! SCREAM. YE DARKIES 1 The cloven foot is visible at last 1 No body can fail to see the split in the hoof of Radicalism now ! cad, ye duped and misled Republicans! Thaddeus Stevens, your party leader, has just introduced in Congress the following bill: "Be it enacted, &c., That on all questions affecting the whole of the United States* whose influence may reach to all national questions, such as the election of President, Vice Presi dent ancl members of Congress, every male citizen of the United States above the age of twenty-one years who shall have resided ten days within the dis trict where lie offers his vote shall be entitled to vote for all such national questions. This act shall not affect any municipal elections or those of chartered companies, but it shall apply to all State elections. All such elections shall be by ballot. If you can swallow this, don't tell us any more that you are opposed to Ne gro Suffrage, or that you are in favor of the people of each State settling the Suffrage question for themselves. Swallow it, if you will, but come out like honest men and stand by what you are doing, and don't tell us that you are against the very thing for which you vote. On the other hand, if you are really and heartilyopposed to making this a mixed nation, like the Mexicans and South Americans, show your manhood by leaving the party that aims at such a consummation. "Be a man. a mouse, or a long-tailed rat!" MIL ARM WOOD AA'D SOMERSET. During the campaign of last fall, the politicians of Somerset county manu factured a story to the elfect that it Judge Sharswood would be elected Su preme Judge, he would decide against the Pittsburg and Connellsville Rail road Company in the litigation be fore the Supreme Court in which that company was concerned. Now, see how Judge Sharswood's decision, an extract from which we publish else sewhere, has given the lie to this Rad ical electioneering scheme. But that falsehood was a "good enough Morgan" to bring out the Somerset Radicals to the election. We refer to this matter only to show how easily some people are gulled.

The attention of the Democrats and Conserva tive-citizens of the country is culled to the Daily and Weekly issues of this widely circulated jour nal. The dissemination of sound political doc trines should command 'ho earnest attention of every true friend of the Union and the Constitu tion. The events of the past political year are full of significance. The uprising of The People in opposition to the destructive policy of Radical ism, clearly shows that the masses are determined to restore again to power the great Dtmocratic party, every page of whose bistoiy is filled with the glory and prosperity of our common country. No more effectual method for presenting the Truth can be devised, than in circulating Democratic journals. It is the intention of the Proprietors of The Age to make it, in every way worthy of the support and confidence that have heretofore been extended to it. Improvements ate conttmplated io every department, and no pains or expense will be spared to keep it in the front rank ot American journalism. The Daily Age contains the latest intelligence from all parts of the world, wi'h articles on Gov ernment, Politics Trade, Finance, and all the current questions of the day ; Local In elligenoe, Muket Reports.
