"Hint's Something Kotten In the State of
Denmark."
Tub conduct of the D jnr J ol Tiustpcj of the
Gas Works, nnd more especially of the Chief
Engineer of that establishment. Mr. Manuel,
In regard to the oropos d Investigation of the
books of tie concern, bodes something wrong,
that needs must be concealed. When the
accounts of an office are all correct, when the
balarce between the debit and credit sheets
is exact, and honest management 's revealed
on every page, men are not wont to shrink
and combat aga'usc an examination; It Is not
cuntonary for them to battle and relus3 to
open ihelr books. It is only when some
Iraud, some treachery, nome breach ol trust
most ilagrant and evident has been com
mitted, that they fear to have the record of
their stewardship audited, and their ac
counts brought to llsrht. It Is only a de
linquent that fears to have his superior
look into the official record of finances
under his control, and we should judtro
from the conduct ol the gentlemen interested
in the control of the gas trust that they de
served to appear before the community in
the character of terrified defaulters, who
dread to have their doings investigated lest
some hidden villany should bo revealed. We
do not say that they have been guilty, but
we do assert that the attitute they are as
suming conveys the impiession that they
have indeed been false to their trust. That '
the people think them so is due entirely to
themselves. j
They are quibbling and refusing to allow '.
investigation upon the most trivial and shal
low pretexts, one of which is that the Coun- j
cils of our city have no authority which j
authorizes them to investigate the books of ,
the Gas Office. Let us look at this claim lor
one moment. The members of the Board ,
are elected by Councils, they are the crea- !
hires ot the Councils' choice, they are the
servants of the power which calle l them '
into existence. As the President of the j
United States appoints the Collector of the j
poit of Philadelphia, so also do the members j
of Councils choose the members of the Board
of Trustees of the Gas Works. Can the
President not invesiigat? the doinis of the !
Collector? Can he not examine the accounts ,
of any of the appointees of the Collector?
And cannot Councils, by the same logical do- I
ductiou, investigate the proceedings of any
of their appointees or their appointees' subor
dinates? The superior giving an office has
always the right to look into its accounts,
and we fail to see why the same rule should
not apply to the Gas Trustees. In fact, the
denial of the t rivilego universally accorded
W a Bupur.ui i a iucic picieusu,u iuisb excuse
for picvcnling the examination of what we
now begin to fear will not bear examining.
The opposition of the members excites suspi
cion, and suspicion gives new cause for rigid
investigation.
Whenil Is remembered that lor over twenty j
)cars the books of the trust have remained i
.sealed to the public, and the officers of the
city denied admission to the secrets of the
Board when it is called to mind that these
accounts involve millions of dollars, and the
opportunity tor deception and defalcation has
been great, can it be wondered that the peo
ple, the source of all power, demand to know
why au exorbitant rate is charged for gas
and no cause assigned ? We might suppose
that the secret of its manufacture was not fit
to n.eet the vulgar eye, that the engineers
were like the alchemists ol old, and the for
mula must be kept hidden like the origin of
the Greek lire. Beally the conduct and
arguments of the Board savor rather of the
thirteenth than the nineteenth century. As
regards the chief engineer, Mr. M anuel, we
cannot do him more harm than by leaving
him to make his own record, and we there
foie pass his conduct by without comment.
To Colonel Pace belongs the highest credit
Icr persistent endeavors to have this ring
broken up.
lie was not intimidated by the opposition,
venomous and continuous as he expected it
to be, and by his tearless honesty has proved
himself, though our opponent politically, one
of the most valuable members ol our City
Councils. The Filth Ward has never ihada
better representative.
But one word more. If the Board have not
been guilty of fraud, tin n let them open their
books. If all is correc t, then what honor will
redound to the men who have kept in perfect
honesty an account unaudited for nearly a
quarter ot a century ! But whether they con
sent t r refuse, the people are determined, and
sooner or later all their deeds or misdeeds
must come to light and receive the judgment
ot an enlightened corurmiuitj .
1 he Massacre at Fort Goodwin.
Thk massacre of the garrison of Fort Good
win, lu Arizona, only adds one more instance
ol atrocious slaughter to the numberless pre
vious ones perpetrated by the Indians of that
Territory. Of all the Indian tribes Inhabiting
the United States, there are none so ferocious
and relentlessly hostile as these Arizona
savages. They have for years prevented the
development of the wonderful mineral re
sources of that region, and in many instances
have broken up mining operations therein by
the murder of the parties engaged In them
and the destruction of their works. Many
estimable citizens, first and last, have been cut
off by them, and It is entirely unsafe for Indi
viduals to travel without a military escort
anywhere in the Teriitory. Tbey have never
before, however, made so hold a stroke as this
cne; and it Is to be feared, since they have
mustered force enough to overcome so large
garrison as that at Fort Goodwin, that they
T1IK DAILY
may have extended their bloody vrork to
many of the smaller posts and settlements.
The number of troops in the Territory la far
too small for the work they have to do ; they
can neither protect the people nor thomaelve?.
The mineral wealh of Arizona is very great,
but it can never be developed until those mur
dering savages are subduod or exterminated.
Positive Value or Republican Principle.
It Is somewhat remarkable that, in a country
whose Government is so unmistakably
founded as ours is upon the most radical
principles ol popular rights, there should be
so much reluctance and hesitation at giving
those principles a full and fair application.
The underlying principle of a republican
form of govtrnmer t is th:it the people arc
competent to govern themselves. The open
ing sentences ot Mir Declaration of Indepen
dence contain the most radical enunciation
of republican principles ever put forth by
any nation. And yet the great central ques
tion of our politics during the whole of our
past history, and especially for the last twenty
live years, has been, and still continues to be,
whether those principles shall be carried out
In the actual workings of our Government.
V e sometimes speaK as though the question
ol popular rights was one. for foreign coun
tries, in ;t for us. Not so, however ; th.'ie is
no country on the face of the earth where
tlii ' question is more of a practical ono at
the present moment thau with us. Engiaa l
is asitafed over her Ueform hi 1. What is
that? Simply a proposal to extend the
siiflrare. And what is the vital question ol
American politics but the same? Our con
servatives and radicals might change shoes
to-morrow with the English tories and libe
rals. Cuari.es Sumner Is merely the Ame
rican J. S. Mill, The arguments of our
conservatives under the false name of Demo
crats against popular rights are precisely
those of the English tories. The contest here,
as there, is one of true democracy against
privilege. The only differences are, that we
have in some respects made vastly greater
advances towards realizing popular rights
than Great Britain has, and so have fewer
steps to take lo reach the ultimate goal ; and
that in establishing popular rights we are
but naturally developing the essential and
avowed principles of our Government
merely realizing our long-accepted and de
clared ideal; while in Great Britain the
triumph of popular rights involves a com
plete revolution in the fundamental ideas of
her society and Government. Hence it is,
that an American conservative is politically a
vastly meaner man than a British tory. The
tory is but a natural product of his country;
the conservative is an anomaly a mon
strosity. The reluctance on the pari of Americans to
realize our ideal in government is very
strange. If our experience of the actual
workings of republican principles had been
disastrous, there might be some excuse for
this ; but such is not the case. The republi
can experiment here has been eminently, won
derfully successful, and the most signally so
when the most thoroughly tried. Take Mas
sachusetts, for instance, a State which has
gone further in realizing the true republican
idea than almost any other and what do we
see ? Where, ou the face of the globe, shall
we find a better governed, more prosperous,
intelligent, or happy community? Where
shall we find the true functions of civil
society more fully met? If there is such dan
ger in the extending of the suffrage, if popular
rights are so full of peril, why do we not see
the evil results in Massachusetts ? Ilere is a
fact worth more than all the theories of all
the conservatives, from the chiefs of the Eng
lish tories in Parliament, down to our Saui.s
jiup.ys and Jack Rouerses in Congress.
But we may take a wider view, and with
our whole country under our eye, may defy
the enemies of republican principles to point
out their evil ellects. Here, too, popular
rights have proved safe and beneficent. In
deed, there is not an element in the growth
and prosperity ot the country which we may
not trace directly to the fountain-head of free
dom. Why then should we shudder at mak
ing a still wider application of principles that
have hitherto proved themselves so full of
blessing? Wc have already several millions
of voters, and j et our conservatives prophesy
universal wreck and ruin if a few thousands
more shall be added to the number ! What
cowardice and want of taith in republican
institutions!
It we scan the future, where do our dangers
lie ? In the direction of increasing popular
rights? Let us judge ol the future by the
past. What brought upon us our recent ter
rible struggle? Was it freedom or slavery?
Was if a desire to Increase popular rights and
extend republican institutions? The philoso
phic Mr. Stephen's, Vice-President of the
Kebtl Confederacy, explicitly and elaborately
informed us that the new Government was
to be founded, not upon equal, but unequal
rights ; not upon republican, but aristocratic
principles. Perpetual and hopeless bondage
for a psrt of the people was to bo its boasted
chief corner atone." Not, therefore, at the
door of equal rights and popular privilege
are we to lay the responsibility for our great
war. Not to their account are to be charged
the three hundred thousand lives and the
three thousand millions of dollars spent in
that colossal struggle. Nay, but it was through
them and their might that we conquered. .
Hence, we see that, whether we look at
specific communities or at the whole country,
whether at State or national affairs, whether
to peace or war, whether to dangers we have
met or to perils we are likely to encounter,
we find republican principles in their widest
application to be wise, safe, and beneficent.
They bless the people and they strengthen
the State. Why, then, should we hesitate to
let these principles have "'free course and be
glorified ?"
EVENING TKLHGHAl'H.
Si Reasons lor the "Consolidated Debt."'
1. It i educes all the varied forms of the
present loan to a uniform basis, thus doing
away with all coniusion, and preventing the
continual renewing of expiring bonds, and at
the same fime saving the Government 2,.H
percent, per annum on some $l,000,009,00Ct,
rid ore per cent, per annum on some
$1 5CO.000.000 more.
2. While thus saving the UnitcJ States
Interest money annually amounting to over
thirty-five millions, no 1 justice is done to the
people, as the additioui'l advantage of a longer
term of investment compensates for the
decrease of Interest, and this decrease reacts
on themselvts, and continually lessens the rate
of taxes.
It provides for the gradual extinction ot
the national debt by creating a sinking fund
out of the money saved by the decrease in the
rate ot interest, ami this fund, at compound
interest, by doubling itself in every twelve
years, will, of its own accord, seem to grow
in size, and remove the whole burden In
tb'rty-fivc years.
4. It gives a practical plan ol dividing the
burden of indebtedness between the present
and luture generations, and performs an
act of justice to the contemporaries of the war,
by ielieiiig them of the additional burden
of paying the debt after having fought out
and conquered in tli2 conflict.
f. By exempting these newly issued bonds
from all taxation another inducement is added
to the investing in the only form of stocks
fiom which n percentage lu the divideud U
cot demanded. And while the nation thus dis
criminates in favor of Itseli, yet it docs no
injustice to any of its citizens, as the loau is
open to all, and those who give the capital to
the Government should certainly not be com
pelled to return to its creditors a portion of
the interest paid on the money it has bor
rowed from them.
0. It renders the payment of the national
debt a certainty with the coming generation,
nnd this prevents any tear ol the de
cline below par which is found in English
Consols.
Iasngs ol the Constitutional Amendment
by the House ol Representatives.
The House of Representatives, yesterday by
(he decisive vote of V2$ to :J7. passed the joint
resolution for the ameudiuent of the Constitu
tion, precisely in the lorrn it was originally
reported lrom the Reconstruction Committee.
There was considerable disposition manifested
to modify the third section the one exclud
ing from the rigiit to vote for members of
Congress and Presidential electors, until alter
the fourth day of July, 1870, all persons who
voluntarily adhered to the late insurrection,
giving it aid and comfort; but when the final
vote came, the Union members stood in solid
phalanx, and the resolution passed by 10
more than the required two-thirds vote,
tvtn Raymond, of New York, voted with
the majority.
The resolution now goes to the Senate.
Should it receive the requisite vote there, it
then goes directly to the Legislatures of ihe
Srates tor acceptance or rejection the signa
ture ot the President not being requisite. We
append the resolution in lull as passed:
A Joint Ji'esniution lJrooiing an Ameahwnt lo
the Constitution of the dated Stalest.
Be it Resulted, etc., Tliut the lolloviiiL'' article
be proposed to tlie Leeiylaiures of the several
States ns an amendment to the Coiistitmioii.
which when ratitied by three-fourths ot the suit!
Lipislaiures shall tie valid us a part ot the Con
stitution, namely:
Article. Section 1. N'o State shall make or
enforce tiny law which shall abridge tlie privi
leges cr immunities ot ciliens or the United
(states; nor shall any State deprive any
per.-on ot life, liberty, of property without due
process ot law, nor deny to any person within its
jurisdiction the equal protect ion ot the In vs.
Section 2. Representatives shall be apportioned
amonu the several States which may be included
within this Union uecr.rding to their respective
numbers, counting the whole number of peisons
in each Slate, excluding Indian not taxed. But
w henever in any State the elective franchise
shall be denied to any portion of its male citi
zens not less than twenty-one years of aire, or in
any way abridged, except lor participation in
rebellion or other crime, the basis of represen
tation in such State shall be reduced in the pro
portion which the number of such male citizens
shall b( ar to the whole number of male citizens
not less than twenty-one years of ae.
Section 3. Until ihe Fourth day ot July, 1870,
all persons who voluntarily adhered to the late
insurrection, giving it aid and comfort, shall be
excluded lrom the rieht to vote lor members ol
Congre's, and lor electors lor President and
Vice-President of the United State".
Section 4. Neither the United States nor auy
State shall assume or pay any debt or obligation
already ii.enrred. or w hich may be hereaiter iu
cuired, in aid of Insurrection or war auainst the
United states, or auy claim tor compensation for
l' ss of involuntary service or labor.
Section .1. Connies shall have power to en
force, by apmopriute legislation, the provisions
oi this article.
A Point of Morality.
Ax every session of our State Legislature we
hear complaints of bribery and corruption.
Bills are said to be carried through both
Ilouses by means of money, and all that.
But blame in this matter should not be cass
altogether on the members of the Legislature,
since if taere were no persons willing to buy
them or their votes, there would be none
bought.
Our judgment of the riht or wrong of a
thing depends very much upon the point of
view from which we regard it. An instance
of personal conduct, for example, which,
looked at in the light of another's interest,
would appear dishonorable, is apt to seem
morally unexceptionable if beheld in the light
ol our own interest. In plain language, what
a man finds It, in a worldly sense, profitable
to do, he is likely to fancy It entirely proper
to do. There is no more insidious and potent
casuistry as respects the rectitude of any act,
than that with which a -elfish, sordid purpose
cajoles the conscience.
Abstractly considered, most persons with
any correct notions ol propriety would de
clare it highly criminal to bribe a member of
a State Legislature ; yet it is quite notorious
that gentlemen whose ideas of honesty and
decorum are singularly nice and severe, theo
retically, do not hesitate to get a bill through
PU"1LA1)KM'H1A, FRIDAY,
the halls of legMation by corrupt moans,
whenever they are sufficiently interested to
make a temporary truce wi'.h their princi
ples for the sake of their pockets. They do
not, of course, proced in the direct and posi
tive manner in which a plain, bold, frank
knave would go about the same business. Tbey
are fastidious and dclicate-min iod preuz che
ra'iirs, whose moral scruples have to be pre
fei ved from any coarse violation, while, thoy
mar age, meanwhile, to carry ttieir point.
'1 bey are, in a word, of that class of men go
graphically described by "Lady Macbeth," in
the following apostrophe to her husband :
''I do fear thy nature:
I' is oo full o' tlie milk ot trim mi kiudi ..,
To atch the nearest av: I'lui'i ,nild'i. Un
(8 rent;
Ait not without aipt-itl in; 'ml .vit'iont
The illncM should at'eud it. Wh itthou would'st
hiflhly,
That oeld'st th ei liulilv: ',w,.fsf ntf ytuy
few,
And yet wowtTitt wii'n't win."
lor such peisons, then, there must be a
roundabout way of gaining an end which
they are not willing to accomplish directly.
Thej will not be seen thrusting their dainty
hands Into aty dirty transaction, though they
are ready ei ough to reap the benefit of it if
they can do so without being lu any other
respect parties to the iniquity.
For example, an Individual or a private
company is anxious to have a bill passed
through the Leclslature. They are per
suaded that the thine can only be achieved
by means of money, applied skilfully by an
expert "borer" at Ilarrisburg. A certain
lund is accordingly placed in the hands ol a
suitable agent, who is authorized to use it as
he may judge proper and necessary for effect
ing the object in view. Under that general
trust, the broker is free to bay as many legis
lative votes as he may need to carry the par
ticular bill. But, as the prud:sh gentlemen
whom.be represents do not expressly instruct
him to resort to any such corrupt expedients,
they fancy themselves quite irresponsible for
his acts, whatever they may be.
In this manner much of the bribery that U
practised every winter at Ilarrisburg is ef
fected. Tlie persons who turirsh the money,
and lor whose advantage it is expended, do
not actually see how it is applied, nor do they
wish to know. Yeteveiyman of sense and
honor must perceive that the absence ol posi
tive privity in these cases to the acts of an
agent makes no real difference In the moral
responsibility of the principals, and that
when they do not expressly prohibit any
corrupt use of the money they supply, they
are chiefly accountable if it is basely used.

rpiE LONDON "ATIIEXAETM,"
The highest lltcraiy authority, says ol
" LOVE'S CONFLICT,"
"Such novels as this arc just tho class which we de
sire to 8?e multiplied; because tliov deal with trials wlih
which society Is only too well acquainted, und by deal
ing with them In a piactlcal manner, show how they are
to be met, and how they are to be overcome. The very
simple secret of tho Interest that pervades 'LOVE'S
CONFLICT. ' consists In a very difficult achievement
the delineation ot men and women who really aro men
and worrcn. and do not pretend to bo ante's or devils.
Miss Marryntt lias discovered tho Importance of this
fee ret on her first entry Into tho legion ot novelists; and
the amount of success sfic has at once attained, in en
deavoilngto act upon her discovery, encourages us to
hope that she will persevere In tlie same track."
TMs Is tho secret of the great populurity of
"1YOMAX AGA1XST WOMAX."
Both novels are sold for 73 cents each, in
It LORIXC'S RAILWAY LIBRARY.
