R.ilwar Progress In Pennsylvania.
Orb of the most Important new railway enter
prises In Pennsylvania, the extension of
the Pittsburg and Connellaville Railroad to
Cumberland, Is now apparently about to be
completed. The adverse legislation having
been all surmounted, and Baltimore having
succeeded in obtaining the funds necessary to
oonstruct the road, the entire line is about
being placed under oontraot, and it is supposed
that it will be in operation before 1870. The
avowed object of this road is to give Baltimore
superior connections with a large and im
portant region that has heretofore been
In a commercial sense tributary to Philadel
phia. The enterprising Baltiinoreana are in
dulging bright anticipations in reference to
the influence it will exert in increasing the
prosperity of that city. They hope to acquire,
by its aid, not only the trade of Pittsburg, and
of the region traversed between Pittsburg
and Cumberland, but of the trade of the
Western States beyond Pittsburg; and they
also expect to gain a very large propor
tion of the commerce based on the petro
leum of Pennsylvania. Senator Sherman
recently stated ra the United States
Senate that while the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad controlled the Maryland Legislature
and prevented the establishment of any con
necting or intersecting lines, in that State,
adverse to its interests, it profited by the free
railroad laws of other Commonwealths, in
extending its Brlarean arms in many direc
tions, and although he referred apeoially to
what had been done in Ohio, his remarks
applied with equal fores to the improvement
now progressing in South western Pennsylvania.
A feeling of hostility to Philadelphia, which
prevails among a portion of the citizens of
Pittsburg may have a considerable effect in
promoting the ambitious designs of Baltimore.
Another lever upon which she relies for suc
cess is her newly established line of steam
BhipB to Europe, and the zeal and energy sUe
Las displayed In starting aud supporting this
enterprise might be profitably imitated in this
0ity. More could be done to counteract the
movements to which we have referred by esta
blishing a splendid new line of steamships
between this port and the leading ports of
Europe, than by any other measure within the
scope of our citizens.
Another important new enterprise in con
templation is the construction of a cheap
freight railway, which, by crossing the Alleg
heny mountains at the lowest praotioable
grade, will, in combination with the Philadel
phia and Erie railway, and the western por
tion of the Pennsylvania railway, transport
bulky articles between the feast and West at
rates far lower than those attainable under the
present railway system. Engineers are now
at work making the necessary surveys, and
the time cannot be far distant when this pro
ject will be crowned with suooess. It cannot
fall to be of immense utility to Philadelphia
It will go very far to neutralize the advantages
Which New York now derives from the cheap
freights of her Erie canal, and will place withia
the grasp of our citizens every facility thy
could desire for converting Philadelphia into
-one of the greatest marts of the world.
Independent of these leading thoroughfares,
it is probable that a road leading south from
Buffalo to a point on the Philadelphia and Erie
Road will soon be constructed, and there are a
number of extensions, branches, aud minor
railways now in process of construction in
various portions of the State. Among these
improvements are inoluded the extension of
the Lehigh Valley Railroad northward to
the New York State line, various branches of
the North Pennsylvania and the Reading Rail
read, the Reading and Wilmington Rallroad,the
Columbia and Port Deposit Railroad, a rail
road through Snyder county, called the Middle
Creek road, and several others. The Free
Railroad law, passed at the last session of the
Legislature, affords great facilities for the con
struction of numerous looal roads, as it
Obviates all difficulties in obtaining charters,
and we may reasonably anticipate that one of
the most important results of that law will be
a large increase of the number of these looal
enterprises.
The Southern Electoral Votes.
Wb cannot pretend to view with anything like
favor the proposition to have the Legislatures
of the Southern States ohoose the Electoral
College in these Commonwealths. There is to
Our mind something exceedingly unsatisfac
tory, to use the mildest term, in this manner
of hearing the voice of the people. We know
that the South cannot complain if such a de
eislon was to be reached; that for many years
it baa been the custom in South Carolina to
have the Eleotors chosen in this manner; yet
for all that, it does not conform to our views
of a strictly republican government. It nat
urally removes the election of President so far
from the people that it has no parallel exoept
In the Venetian method or extending and con
trading by lot the council to choose a Doge
In the first plaoe, the people choose the mem
bers of the Legislature, then ia turn the
members choose the electors, and fiually
the electors, untrammelled by anything but
moral obligations, choose the President of the
United States. There are, therefore, no less
than two chanoeB for corruption or intimida
tion. A majority of the people may choose
a small majority of the Legislature. The de
sertion of a few members may elect an en
tirely Opposite Eleotoral College from that,
desired by the masses, and the Eleotoral Col
lege may In turn vote for a man whom neither
the members of the Legislature nor the people
at large desire. In all this there is entirely
too muoh riBk. In the choloe of eleotors
there is some danger, but that is virtually
oanoelled by the dread of popular indigna
tion. We therefore depreoate the oholoe of eleo
tors in the Southern States by the Legisla
tures. It is not sound policy, ner ia con
formity with the spirit of our Constitution.
It is urged, we know, by those who favor
the plan that at a popular eleotion of eleotors
the Rebel element will be combined to so over
awe the colored citizens that the votes they
cast will not In reality be an exponent of their
wishes. We think this is eminently probable,
and we see but two ways to avoid it. The
one Is to place a strong military force iu the
Southern States, and give safety to the black
by their presence. If this is feasible we think
it would be deoidedly the best plan. Itjvoult
place all on an equal footing, and give the real
wishes of the people. If, however, the doc
trines of Mr. Johnson prevent such steps being
taken, then we favor the total exclusion of all
the Southern votes. If there is suoh a state
of sedition and rebellion there that
citizens cannot vote freely for fear
of their lives, then this state of affairs
is sufficient ground for refusing to receive the
elections thus held as valid. The presenoe of
brute foroe, which overawes and terrifies, is
sufficient greund in every community for set
ting aside the eleotion. We think that there
are then only two alternatives, for the eleo
tion of eleotors by the Legislatures still opens
the choice to be influenced by fear, and as
soon as a man is in dread of bodily injury, his
actions cease to be held deliberate, or indioa
tive of his will. When Congress meets in
September we will have seen by experience
which of these two plans is best.
"Perfect Love."
Thbrk is a proverb, doubtless known to but
few of our readers, which purporteth that one
half the world does not know how the other
half lives, and with equal originality it has
been remarked that, if we desire any in'orma
tion of what is passing amongst ourselves, we
must searoh for it ahead. That a prophet has
no honor at home, is well known, but we had
no idea, until we learned it from Mr. James
Gordon Bennett, of the New York Herald,
that we bad a body of saints existing in our
State. That gentleman has nosed them out,
and great is his rejoicing on the occasion,
inasmuch as they, being named "Perfect
Lovers," he is thus the more readily enabled
to Lave a dig at his rival, Horace Greeley, who
was wont to patronize the sect of "Free
Lovers." They live, he informs ns, at Man-
helm, Lancaster county, Pennsylvania, the
OOUDty lately bouurcd wltla mhlwi v
the patriotio James Buchanan, and Bennett
has taken the trouble to send a special reporter
for the purpose of making a searching investi
gation into all the outs and ins conneoted with
their establishment. Acoording to this repre
sentation of what in England is termed "The
Fourth Estate," they very meritoriously "put
their trust in God," but do not, as the great
English leader Cromwell emphatically super
added to these words, "keep their powder dry."
They on the contrary we say it without any
irreverence appear to plaoe undue reliance
upon Providence, heedless of the profane
maxim ameng our sea captains, that those who
do so must often "eat whin-stone soup." One
of the saints met the reporter with the declara
tion, "I leave the management of all my little
matters to the Lord;" and Bennett, we regret
to say, upon this becomes abominably irreve
rent and impious in his remarks, considering
that he is an exemplary member of the
Churoh, and was, so eminently devout in his
early days that he was then designed for
the priesthood. He goes on to add that this
Perfeet Love system seems to be based on the
maxim of doing more good to your neighbor
than your neighbor oan do for himself that
is, if he has ne cash, and you chanoe to have
ten dollars in your pocket, you must hand over
five of them to him. You must also, it seems,
never let your angry passions rise on any oo
casion or provocation whatever; even if you be
bald-headed you must bear the stings of mos
quitoes and gnats with Christian fortitude,
and "if you break a leg," says the old sinner,
"be thankful it was not your neok." Many
other apothegms are inonloated, as, for in
stance, "If your neighbor cheats you out of
$1000, give thanks it was not $5000;" or "if
your house is burned down, praise God your
wife and children were not consumed with it.'
These are all very praiseworthy maxims, but
we beg to inquire why, with the fear of Mrs
J. G. B. before his eyes, Bennett ever ventured
to write the lines, "If your wife runs away
with your brother in perfect love, shout aloud
'Glory 1 hallelujah 1 for that is, indeed, a
piece of good luok which calls for unbounded
thanksgiving."
The truth is, fanatlos abound in all conn
tries, and these Saints, infinitely better than
Mr. Horace Greeley's Free Lovers, are not a
whit worse than those still to be found in
England, where we frequently find in a religious
marriage an advertisement for "a deoent maid
of all work," or for "a porter who fears the
Lord and can carry a hundred weight."
A Little too Slow. The Legislature of
South Carolina has been in session thirty days
and has passed exactly five bills, making an
average of a bill a week. While favoring
deliberate legislation, we fear that this is
little too slow. Our sister ought to learn from
us. At Uarrisburg, by the rapid prooess o
passing bills by their titles, au average is
, secured of one bill to every minute and a
quarter of time ooeupied. Somewheres
between the movements of Pennsylvania aud
South Carolina, there must be a happy
medium.
Unmasking too Soon.
TnBRi is a story told of a Highland regi
ment which lay in ambush for . a superior
force of British reldlers. A narrow defile was
selected, and viotory was esteemed certain. So
sure were they, that when the British appeared,
the enemy sprang up from the ambush be
fore they entered the defile, revealed the plot,
and were utterly routed. The story of the
Highlanders seems to be repeated in the poli
tical world to-day. " The Demooraoy aud their
Rebel friends, feeling oertain of suooess, hive ;
lbrown aside all attempts at masking their
intentions, and are boldly declaring them
selves in favor of a new rebellion. They rlorv
in the task of exposing their infamous de
signs. They lay tbem bare with all the pride
of a traitorous heart, and let ns see them in
all their hideousness. The attitude of the en
tire Democracy is not to be mistaken. Howell
Cobb, a revered leader, proclaims a condensed
edition of the platform. In a recent speeoh
be says:
"The erlonlne skeletons which have rmnn
set up In our nililHt as legislators mil be ousted
by Fiauk 11 lair, whom nur nart.v h. mnraolv
appointed lor tbat purpose. Come,
one ana an, ana let us euatoh the oM banner
from me dust, give li again to tbe breeze, and,
ir iieei B be, to the O.xl of battles arid
eirlke one more taormt blow for eusiuuMon il
liberty. Tne door are wide
open wide enough, broad euoaati to re-
reive every white mau In Ueoriila, unless you
should d It-cover nlm commit to von nrcaoiuir
Mtid crawling under tbe cbioago l'talf inn.
Upon I hem there should be no ineroy. rney
have dishonored Ihernwlvtut and sou it to ills
honor you. Anathematize them. Driva them
from tbe pale ot social and political society."
To make yet more sure the avowed inten
tion, we quote the sentiments of a leading
Democrat in Arkansas, as well as Georgia.
Albert Pike says:
Young men. It la for you to brlna back these
golden cinys. The South la our lanl; lb Norm
js a iureiicn ana Hostile realm. maud at the
altar of your couutry. a ear eternal haired ol
lis oppressors. Hwear that the day shall come,
11 these oppressors shall continue, when tne
Busqueiiauna and Olilo Khali be like rivers of
nie, as tneyarenow rivers or dioou, between
your native land aud tbat of the Northern
Huns, whloh no man shall attempt to cross,
and live."
Let the people of the North ponder on these
things, and think of the fearful return of war
which will follow the election of the friends of
these Rebels. It requires no Republioan argu
ments to convince the North of its duty.
In Georgia, the State Senate had a oolored
member whom they desired to get rid of.
They talked about it tor two weeks, tried him
for two day 8, and then he resigned. They
now intend to devote another week to settling
the question whether he could resign. South
era legislators are getting too deep into ethics
to be of much practical value to their States.

Ob t wicked mosquito!

The act of Inserting your horrible bill I
W Itta awful presumption
You seem to have gumption
Enough to stand safely while taking jour ail
The ereatnres come, singing,
And painfully stinging,
Tbe moment they see I put out the light,
At once on alighting.
They set to work biting,
And If I would let them they'd blieme all night.
Though the sound ol their singing,
Tnelr cruel flight wlaglng.
My spirit within me most heaitlly loathes:
Let them come In vast numoers-.

For Bocknlil fc Wilson make elegant clothes.
Let tbe motqultos bite all night; let them sing on

the rest or the man who Is blest wltn a good suit of
