Governor Geary In Kansas.
TnnBB is a chapter in the public Ufa of Gene
ral Gkaby, tho Republican candidate for
Governor of this State, which ought to be
fiilly written out at this time, If for no other
reason than to vindicate his character against
the assaults that are being made on it by the
Democratic press. We have not space to do
the subject Justice, nor, with the pressure on
us of the many other topics that demand at
tention, have we the requisite time to perform
tho task satisfactorily. A brief allusion to
some few leading tacts is all we can attempt.
It will be recollected that General Geary
was appointed Governor of the Territory of
Kansas during the Administration of Presi
dent Franklin Pierce, and at a period
too, when afTilr3 In ihat quarter were In a
highly excited and turbulent condition. It
wan hoped that with the election of Mr
Buchanan as the successor of Mr. Pierce,
the dihordcr raging In Kansas would bo com
posed, and ptace established through a vigor
ous and Impartial administration of law. Tlii)
expectation, however, was disappointed
General Geaby, after having done much to
quell the intestine troubles in the Territory,
and to bring about a state of comparative
order and security, resigned his 'ofUce, and no
successor was found equally well fitted for
tho position. His appo ntment originally as
Governor, and the lair promises of aid and
Bupport which were held out to him by the
Ni tLonal Government, were regarded at the
time, by the friends of law and equal rights,
aj a plii.lfje of returning tranquillity. It was
confidently predicted that justice would now
be meted out by an impartial hand, and license
and ruffianism shrink back abashed before
the strong arm of tho Federal authority.
. Put the old adage ''Put not your trust in
princes," was on that occasion equally well
verified bv a Democratic Administration, for
3 resident Piebce forgot the trusty servant
yhom he bad placed in so responsible and
cMfflculfc a situation, and left him to cope
ui aided with the powerj of riot and lawless
ness. Governor Geaby stated emphatically
that the cause of bis resignation was the
failnra of the national Executive, Mr. Pieuce,
to fulfil tho pledges made to him at the time
of his appointment. lie had been assured
that the army, militia, and Treasury of the
United States should assist him to the utmost
necessary extent in securing and maintaining
order in Kansas. But when he applied for the
aid of the Federal troops, he was insolently
told by the officers that they were not there
to protect him; and we have his own offi
cial avorment lor the fact that the only trea
sury from which he drew means for support
in his trying situation was his own pocket, to
which the Government was then, and, for all
we know to th e contrary, is yet, Indebte I to the
exient of several thousand dollars, lie further
stated, in taking leave of his arduous post,
that had he received the promised assistance,
he would have succeeded in effectually sup
pressing the fearful civil disturbances which
bad so long and painfully afflicted the Terri
tory.
These were not only lamentable, but dis
graceful facts, and afforded one among many
j-igtal instances of the weak and vacillat
ing policy which distinguished the adminis
tr tion ot President Piebce in so eminent a
decree.
Covernor Geaby had great difficulties to
contend wit h in the arduous station which he
then occupied, and we do not believe that
there was or is one man in a thousand who
would have met and combated them as
a nestly and fearlessly as he did. His life
was in constant danger, for a number of des
peradoes had sworn to assassinate him. The
judiciary of the Territory were his bitter op
ponents. Yet in the face of all this, assistance
by men and money was denied him. In
&ueu an extremity, what could he do? He
lought the hydra of disorder and lawlessness
most nobl ; but he was left to stand or fall
alone, and was obliged at last to yield.
j n his parting address to tho residents of
tl.e Territory, he disclosed the true causes of
the unfortunate state of affairs which existed
there at that date. It was occasioned, he
said, not by those who had fixed homes In
that region, and who were conscientious,
peace-loving, law-abiding men, but by indi
viduals who had no direct interest in Kansas
whatever, and who chose to make it the thea
tre of their ruffian exploits. And this, no
doubt, was the real state of the case.
Had Govern r Geaby been supported at
Washington, as ho was toli?'r he would b3, in
bin efforts to arrest the bloody strifo that pre
yailed in Kansas when he consented to take
the direction of affairs there, he would un
questionably have accomplished completely
the formidable task he undertook ; and there
is good grou id for . sserting that the impres
sion which his wise and Just and energetic
Action made on the people there while ho re
mained In office as chief magistrate of the
Territory, contributed materially to the final
adjustment of the whole difficulty. His high
executive qualities were exhibited during
that critical ptflod in a manner most honor
Able to himself and beneficial to the country;
Ai d his manly and sagacious conduct In that
perilous situation furnishes one of the strongest
possible proofs of his eminent fitness for the
loUion for which he Is now a candidate.
The Pennsylvania War Debt. 1
The bill to reimburse the " taW of rennsyl-
vanfa for her military expenses during the
raid's that were made upon her In tlie course
of the war has been introduced into the
Senate, and will doubtless pass that body
Considering the far-1 that Pennsylvania bore '
the brunt of the attack, and appropriated;
ironey without stint to keep the liebel hsrdes 1
from overrunning the North, we conceive the
bill to be an eminently Just and propor one. '.
The thanks of Tcnnsylvanhns are duo for tho
eflerts of Mr. Mtebs and the other members
of the Philadelphia delegation for their efforts
in pushing this important matter to a conclu
sion. Our State has contributed nobly to the
expenses of the war, and ic Is only fair that
those who have been saved by our prompti
tude should glia-e in the expense. There is no
opposition to the bill, its Justice being acknow
ledged by all.
Ciuvalby. The Ago this morning Bays,
with that chivalrlc courtesy which has ever
characterized its course: ' '
"A Miss Clara Barton, to whom Conoress
lias recently voted the smitf sum ot' rli'teen thou
sand dollars lor some mysterious sorvicos she
has rcndired the country in rambling over the
South, has added to the debt of. gratitude which
Hie nnpronrtation only partly cannulli'd, D.ylielp- '
incc the ConimUtcoon Kecsnstrunnon to make
up its forthcoming campaign document."
This sentiment, so perfectly consonant with
the views of all tho knight from the days
of Boyabd, will not surprise those who have
watched the editorial conduct of our contem
porary. To gain a political end, It matters
not whether the fair fame of woman Is sul
lied, or the character of honest men black
ened. Every one not a Democrat knows thit
the services Miss Babtos has rendered, have
been of the most laborious character and un
remuneratlve kind. With the soul of Flo
rence ISionTiNGALKshe has visited the field
of ba tile, nursed the sick, soothed the dying,
kept a record of their place of burial, and has, in
a thousand of instances, been instrumental in
forwarding the remains of the soldier to the
dear ones at homo. When poverty has pre
vented the mourners from paying the neces
sary expense, it has been from Miss Claba
Baiitoh that the needed funds have come.
It is to repay her, and those Irom whom she
borrowed, that the Congress of the United
States unanimously appropriated the 315,000,
ot which the Age cast its horrid insinuations.
Not a Democratic member was found to
object to the payment of the claim,
and it is only, because Miss Babton
bas testified before the Reconstruction Com
mittee that the blacks are "'religious, though
by force of circumstances not moral," that
our venomous neighbor pours Its vial of slan
der on a pure, patriotic, and thoroughly
Christian larty. Let the people, the gentle
men, the men of honor of our Mate, remem
ber that the organ of the Democracy sought
to weaken the testimony of a philanthropic
and disinterested lady, by maligning her mo
tives and seeking to blacken her good deeds
with insinuations of pecuniary recompense.
THE RAILROAD QUESTIO Iff.
Reply of General Orary to tbe Business
Hru ol' Pltisburjj He Is Opposed to
Monopoly, nl iu favor of a Ueneral
Itllronl Law.
On Friday last we published in The Evening
TF.i.EURArn a letter addressed to General Gear?,
our candidate for Governor, by some of the pro
mii.ent business men of Fittsbure, asking his
views upon the subject of the railroad interesU
of Pennsylvania. General Geaby has replied
in tho following card, which, like all the utter
ances of General Geaby, Is pointed, and
unmistakable in its plainness:
New Cumberland, Pa., April 9, I860. Gen
tlemen: Your communication, bearing date
March 20, only reacned me on the 30th ultimo,
and iu compliance with your request 1
piocced to answer it with as little delay as
possible.
You propound fo me three questions, to which
you request an answer, viz:
' 1. Will you. n'e.eoted Chief Magistrate of Penn
sjlvania, faithfully exert the power of your admin
utiation so B8 to doieat any and everyi attempt,
luadu by legislation, or otherwise lor the monopoly
and control by any one corporation o; the railroad
policv ot tho atoT
"2 "Will you oppose and withhold yonr sanction
fiom any legislation conterrinir. upon the Pennsyl
vania Kailroad Company, or any company it may
control, the authority to build branches, unloss the
eoid grant should be under provisions of general law
reputation: the construction or railroads?
' 8 Will you favor, and use the influence of your
adminif tralion to sccuie, tu enactment ol a general
law authorizing the construction und regulation of
railrcade within tins Commonwealth?"
My views end opinions upon these measures I
am tree to give you, and quite willing to indi
cate what my official action would be, so far as
it is proper to do bo.
Pennsylvania possesses immense treasures of
mineral wesiltb. and most extensive manufacto
ries. To develop thee, to loster everything
which tends to their development, aud to che
rish and promote equally the rights and interests
of all her citizens I fully believe to be the Inb-tt-t
duty of hpr statesmen. 1 regard, every kind
of public improvement as conducive to this end;
and I am, therefore, in favor of the mo3t com
plete and elaborate sy.rf.em of Internal Work?,
together with a proper system of Protection to
Home Industry, as a means ot converting nur
vast mineral resources, agricultural product,
aud mantaoiured articles into values. What
ever shall so improve our commercial inter
course, enable our manuidcuircjs to send the
proceeds of their industry to market, and oo
place our State at the head of tiie manufac
turing and producing Htatefc of the Union, shall
have my cordial assistance and cheerful appro
bation. I regard our railroad svsiem us the best mode
of commercial aud social intercommunication.
In addition to the sn-eat main lines, the dtate is
enveloped in a network of minor railroads,
which pour an increasing -stream ol coal, iron,
ore, lumber, live stock, agricultural products,
and the haudiworx of skilled labor, to th dis
tributing point-' within and boyoiid our borders.
, While these corpoiations continue to act their
part as public pervttnts, they should be. carefully
protected. They should not be permitted to
overbtep their leeitiuiate lunctious. As crea
tures ot the law, they should obey, and be, in
every repect, subservient to the law.
I answer to the tirit interrogatory, that whilp
1 believe it to bo iumroper to mine the influeuco
of the Executive Department to bear upon the
Legislature, in anticipation ot its action, excopt
in tlm wavof recommendation. I am heiirtilv oo-
posed to the cieation of any monopoly in tho
r i . j u i ... AM ..i ., i - n.!
railrOUU BYBlmii ui eic ownc, .u iviui; nii.y niw
ticial body created by the law powers which
would place it above and beyond the roach of
the Leo-iKltttiii-p.
To the second intenopatory I say, that wbile
a et-neral railroad bVstem would best comport
with a found publio policy, it must originate
with the .Legislature; anil tiuui it scan do esta
blished by luw, grants ol power may bu properly
made to railroads to construct branch! when
they are desired by the people who are itnme- -dlatcly
interested in tho matter, and would pro
mote tho development of their property an 1
allord them avenues tJ market. Such grant-
being so restricted as not to violate individual
rithtg or public Interests.
In reply to your th rd question, which torav
mind includes both the others, I say, aain, that
I believe a aqneral law regulating tho const ruc
tion of ral iroads and prams of power for th it
purpose to be most consistent with public policy
and the Interests of the Commonwealth; and en
tertaining these views, I wouM certainly ugo the
lcfntitnuto and con 4iiutloti.il powc of the Exe
cutive to si-cure so des' rb)e a result. ;
The spirit of monopoly m tui3 and otliPr niat
tcrsfl fhould be discounted in a republican Go
vernment, and I have no sympathy with any
policy which may be designed lor its encouriire
nicut.
I urn, ccntlcmf n. with bl2h respect, your obe
dient servant, . .John W. Ubaby.

THE CIVIL RIGHTS IJILO. ,

The Inouirer announces the fact that the Civil

proves that Auorew Jouuson has no right to act as

acres who are douying the fact more y do to to do-
lude peopio into timiKing tne measure some mon-i-
gii ous outrage demanding resisiunce. Tuey would
say the same against any part of our policy now."
The Age overlooks the affair entirely.
The Press has the following editorial re
marks: ' For the sixth time in the hitory of our country,
a law oi the United States lias oeeu established in
opposition to the will of the 1'rosident. this mode
oi pencct.ng legtsiat on nas been so very rarely
adoi ted, raiber on accouut ot the intluenco which
the opinions of uur Clnet .Uag.strales have exeroisod
over at least ouo-third of the members oi one of tne
brandies of our National Loirulature, than on ac
count of any doubt ot its propriety, for no such
coubt exists. Congress bas iwocisely tho same right
to veto a veto, it it bas the requisite constitutional
strength, as the Fresiden: bos to veto any of its bills.
The lea-ou must be poweriul iudeed, or the objec
tions of a veto singularly weak and antagonistic to
tho general convictions and desires ot the Amenoan
people, when, in a Government constituted like ours,
the unanimity necessary to nullify the antagonism
ol a l'resideut can be secuiod,
'-The Civil Eights bill, however, has obtained In
both branches even more than tho requisite majority,
and never bare our Representatives and senators
more faithfully reflected tne wishos of their oon
stitutnts than tn ibo steadiness with which they
adhered to this beneficent and vitally importaut
measure. The allegation that they were influenced
b a teelirg of factious opposition, is one of the most
imoloussud unfounded ot the many base oaargos
which are poriouically coidoU by the Cot perhoaus.
However much loyal men may have dliluied, after
the downfall of tne Koboilion, on minor points in
regard to the luture policy to be puitued in the
bouth, they unanimously agreed on this: that
slavery should be destroyed forever, and that its
victims shouid be iepa ly endowed with all tho rights
which are acoordod to human beings in every
civilized society, aud in every Government eiovated
above the level ol grinding despotism.
"It this natutal wish bad been iullv respeoted bv
the provisional State organizations established in
the bouih, it is possible tuat there might have beeu
suuto cenous diversity of opinion in regard to tho
propriety ot enforcing it by Congressional legisla
tion, JUut when the disposition to perform the great
duty ol granting eivil rights grudgingly, lmporfuctly,
and with innumerab'e qualillca ious anu drawbacks,
was manllestod by the .southern Legislatures, it
bi came evident that, unlets the treediueu worn pro
tected by an act ot Congres-i, they would reuiaiu, to
all mien's aud purposes, mure 'chattlos,' duspito
