The uIrnntorlil Context.
Ih the manipulation ot partisan machinery, every
" imaginable artifice Is resorted to for the purposo
"of falstlnff weak or objectionable candidates upon
tho people, and one of the moat curlou features
Of American politics Is the singular nomination
which are brought about by mysterious agencies.
Tuousandsefmen, no better than their neighbors,
who have no special qualification for Important
positions, and no special claims to public confi
dence, have, in time, become suddenly famous,
not for any good deed they have done,
or - any inherent capacity they have
displayed for doing good, but becnueo a body of
delegate have, for Inscrutable reasons, endowed
them with tho magical attributes of regularly
nominated candidates for leading municipal,
State, or national otllccs. The public usually
tiave no choice left but to accept one of the
'entertainments provided by tho conventions of
two conflicting parties, and tho professional poli
ticians, by controlling the action of these omni
potent conventions, bind the people hand and
'foot. Notwithstanding the profuse disquisition
,f ihf press on almo-t every other subject con
nected with the management of public affairs,
but little light Is usually thrown upon tho secret
Influences by which aspirants for ofHeo commend
themselves to the delegates, who decide what
favored mortals are to be raised on a pedestal,
and rendered objects of the admiration of Re
publicans and the execration of Democrats, or
Jiice versa. Most of this work Is done
in a subterranean, mole-like manner, and the
real reason why a majority of a convention
authoritatively prononnces Tom a fit subject for
"the suffrages of hla fellow-citizens, and Dick
unworthy of such confidence, would often sur
pass human understanding, if a largo allowance
was not uiado for private pledges and promises,
and for considerations entirely foreign to the
public welfare. It Is one of the crying evils of the
times, too, that when a man is once elected by a
skilful combination of these influences, followed
by an endorsement at tho polls, he is usually
more anxious to secure a renomination and re
election than to discharge, In an able and satis
factory manner, the duties of his position. He
endeavors rather to compel the people to serve him
by extending his lease of power, than to serve
the people.
"General Geary, having eujoyed the honors and
delights of the governorship for the last few
years, would scarcely bo a truo politician if he
wbs ready and willing to surrender his present
station. It remains to be seen what degree of
8UcceJLiy Attend his zealous efforts to secure a
Siomination, despite tho general conviction of
Lis unfitness for the gubernatorial chair,
and the prevailing belief that, in tho
rauks of the Republican party of Pennsylvania,
It would be an easy task to find many men of
superior qualifications. Whatever may be his
chances, however, they will scarcely bo improved
by the late action of the Executive Committee
of the Republican Invincible, announcing their
firm confidence in his superior wii-dom and
abilijjr, and their conviction that his nomination
would promote the triumph of the Republican
party lu the October election.
Public opinion has been forestalled In many
ways on many subjects, but we shall be much
astonished if this expedient does not prove futile.
The Invincibles may be useful as an ornamental
appendage of a campaign, but we see no reason
why their skill In carrying torches or wearing
capes confers any special power upon their Ex
ecutive Committee to select a candidate for
Governor of a great Commonwealth.
Tke Beneficial Paving;) Fund
Itobbery.
Om Monday in our flnuncial article wc alluded to
the defalcation at tho Fourth National Bank and
the robbery of the safe of the Beneficial Savings
Fund as tending to weaken the confidence of de
positors in all such institutions. It was not our
Intention to couple the managers of the savings
fund with those of tho Fourth National Bank
under the old regime, but merely to Indicate the
effect of such occurrences. The following are
the directors of the Beneflciul Saving Fund, and
they are all well known in this city to be gentle
men of unimpeachable lutegnty:
Charles A. Reppller, James McCann, Alfrod C. Gib.
son, Daniel
MC1X
Witt! John Tiers. M. J. Dohan, John
leusey, Isaac Mullen, James Maifiiire, Augustus
Merino, John P. Murta, Francis d. crmy, fraticis

. lr .... 1 J-l 11 11... Vl'ltll.... 1
James T. Gallagher, K'lwarU Rolilrtns, Bernard
Ratferty, George Hughes, Henry C. Laughlin, Charles
lXmoghue, and A. J. Gallagher. ' ,
The most that can be charged" against these
gentlemen is that they were culpable in not
having watchmen about the establishment at nil
hours of the day and night, and lu the insecurity of
their building and safe. With regard to thin lat
ter point, the managers couteud that they took
all proper precautious, and we have been called
upon by Mr. Edward Robins, of tho Board of
Managers, who gives us the following informa
tion about the safe which was rifled:
The safe was built for A. J. Drexel, Esq.,
Who considered It so secure that he had no "hesi
tation In confiding to it his own valuables. It
was built of thirteen inch brick, Interlaced with
iron and steel bars, next to which were eight
blabs of solid granite eight inches thick. The
vault was built from the. foundation, and was
arched on the top of the fire-proof. After being
built, an, ordinary fire-proof door and key was
put la, and the directors then ordered from
LUlie's agent, In addition, one of his best burglar
proof doors, at a cost of $640. Not satisfied
with this security, they then ordered a fire-proof
Safe from one of our most celebrated makers, with
four locks upon it: this was placed Inside of
the old safe. This safe could not be opened ex
cept the presence of the President, Secretary,
Treasurer, and one of the directors, each of
whom carried a key. The directors invito all
w ho are Interested In the sub- ject to call and
Inspect the safe, and judge for thomsejves
Whetherthe precautions taken were not judicious.
In aplte of the strength of the safe, however.
tfa fact remains that it was forced Inside of six
hour, and while the Integrity of the gentlemen
On Uu board ot management of the Institution
Cannot be Impeached la the slightest degree,
they lure still very much to blame In allowing
the premises to remain unguardod just at a time
when burglars would be most likely to take ad
jwitag of such negligence. .
Thf Cure for firlmf.
Hon. F.Cahhoi.i.Bbkwtbb, In his charge to the
Grand Jury a few days since, displayed a proper
apprec iation of tho enormous Increase of crime
In our city, and also a Just estimate of that
spirit of pity which some philanthropists
aro always ready to evoke. From his position
ns ono of the Judges of tho Criminal Court, the
author of the chargo Is made singularly capable
of giving us an estimate of tho crimes and pun
ishment of wrong-doers; and he docs so with
force and clearness. Ho shows that in homicjde
rases alono there has been a fearful increase
within the past year. There Is something start
ling in the assertion that in 1807 there were Hi
homicides, and In 18C3 there were 133 an In
crease of about forty per cent. Yet moo Im
pressive is tho assertion that there aro moro
murders committed In ono year than there aro
murderers executed In thirty. Tet both of the
statements bear tho undoubted authority of tho
Judge's word to back them, and cannot be gain
said or denied.
In view, then, of this fearful growth of crime,
what Is the proper courso to be adopted ? Is it
to receive with assent or silence tho utterances
of (the chicken-hearted sympathizers who are
continunlly denouncing thoso who favor a stern
retribution for crime? or is It to throw aside nil
reserve and dcuounce thoso sentimentalities as
ruinous of public morals ? Wo agree with Judge
Brewster In preferring tho latter course. Long
experience has taught us a lessou in w hich there
can be no mistake that leniency without punish
ment is no protection from crime.. It Is Idle to
talk of reform with a class of men whose busi
ness it Is to break the laws, and who have it as
their means of support. An occasional offender
can be cured by kindness. Tho first wrong step
can probably be retrieved through the friendly
advice of one who takes an Interest In
the criminal. But to talk of reform
ing a murderer or a professional thief
ls,ftll nonsense. It must .be borne in mind
that what the London Times says of that metro
polis Is equally truo of Philadelphia: "Crime
is pursued by a numerous cliws of persons as a
regular profession, apart from all casual tempta
tion or impulse. Tho profession Is maintained
by a regular succession of practitioners, like any
honest trade. It bus its seminaries, its markets,
and its places of resort." With such a class as
this, to talk of kindness is nn absurdity. It is
only through fear of tho whip that they can be kept
in subjection. It is only through fear of the pun
ishment which will follow, and the chances that
they will be detected, that any chock can bo put
upon their fell deeds. To this class, wo believe,
belong nine-tenths of all the criminals in Phila
delphia. They are hardened and determined crimi
nals from choice and of their own free will.
They are a set who would choose crime rather
than honesty, and who, had they tho opportunity,
would do all they could to preveut tho necessity
of leading a virtuous life. For such ns these puu
Ivhuient, punishment, punishment is the only
watchword to guide jurors and courts.
It is, therefore, the worst possible tiuste and tho
worst possible policy for any man or set of men
to select such a time as this to petition for a re
moval of the death sentence. We do not pro
pose to go into tho abstruse theories of the ques
tion, whether or not society has the right to
take the life of one of its criminal members.
We think it has, and we know it does; and that
is enough, so far as tho theory Is concerned. So
far as the practical benefit of the death sentence
can be considered, wc are thankful day by clay
that it exists; and tho only regret which troubles
us is that It Is not more frequently Inflicted.
We do not say this In a spirit of bloodthirsty
revenge, but culmly, . us peaceable, law
abiding citizens who want protection and
love virtue and quiet. There Is an
Irrepressible couflict between crime
and virtue in every such community ns our own.
We must be on one bide or the other. Wo are
emphatically on the side of order, and believe
thut the only way to deal with those opposed to us
is to as nearly exterminate them as possible. For
misdeeds not homicidal we would mow them up
within stone walls, nnd make them work like
felons, as they are. We would have them toll as
prisoners should toil for crime, as the poor and
honest too frequently have to toil for their
daily bread; while for the higher grade, sch
as those who take human life, we would rid
society of their presence by tho inexorable gal
lows. And in treating them in this way, it Is really
doing God's service, aud obeying the dictates of
justice and self-protection. '
, Feeling thus, .it was with no small degree of
pleasure that we read Judge Brewster's chargo
to the Grand Jury. It Is a sensible and powerful
paper, and one that, If It be only acted tip to,
will check the increase of crime. It is not only
for retribution that we want to see its doctrine
carried out, but it is for the far higher, moro
imperative, and more powerful reason, that pub
lic safety can only be assured by constant ex
amples being made of nil offenders. We are lu
the state that Is described weU by tho Judge:
"It has thus come to pass, gentlemen, that men are
shot down or stoned to death upon our highways,
anil that the law seeniB as powerless for their vindi
cation as it was for their protection. Grand Juries
hesitate to 11 nd true bills, and petit juries often re
fuse to convict except ot interior grades, frequently
coupling those verdicts with recommendations to
lnercy. And even lu an occasional case of great
atrocity, when a conviction Is followed by a sentence
of death, the Executive Is besieged for a pardon. It
Is owing to these efforts to thwart justice that It has
come to pass in Philadelphia that It is more danger
ous for a nian to pick a pocket than to take a life.
The thief Is much more certain of being punished
tlisu the murderer."
For this state of society there Is but one
remedy a vigorous and rigorous execution of
the laws, without lenieucy or mercy, uutil the
tide of increasing crime begins to ebb.
The I'nlon Pacific Itnllroad and
the H'ew York Court.
Thk Union Pacific Railroad is a great national
enterprise, in which every man, woman,' nnd
child in the country is directly Interested,
whether holding stock or not. The construction
of this road, which is to unite tlie Atlantic and
Pacific Oceans, aud pour Into our laps the wealth
of Asia, has been prosecuted with unexampled
rapidity, nnd every human probability Indicates
that, by tho next anniversary of our national
Independence, the rood will be completed nnd
open for the trafllc and tho travel of the world.
That such a great enterprise should have to con
tend, in addition to the obstructions of nature,
with the machinations of selfish and designing
men who seek to control its power and revenues
to promote their own Interests, Is not to be won
dered at. Such bus been the fate of every Im
portant public enterprise ever started In this
or any other couutry. It is vexatious, how
ever, that Just as the Union Pacific
Railroad is about to realize all the hopes of its
projectors, thut it should be embarrassed by such
a suit as thut Irought by Mr. James Flsk, Jr.
We publish to-day the depositions of several of
the directors of the Union Pacific Railroad, which
throw considerable llerht UDon this affulr. and
which are weU worthy of the attentive perusal of
our readers. The great Erie war in which Mr.
FJsk figured at the principal liero la etili Iresii
, I i - - in '"-,...,. -v
in the minds of all, and It now appears as If he
were attempting to win fresh laurels by making
a raid on. the Union Purine Railroad Company.
The most significant and most disgraceful feature
of these contests between the railroad companies
nnd the stockjobbers of Wall street I the man
ner in which the judges of the New York courts
lend their aid In cmburni.-islng and crushing
lhoo who refuse to recognize th" supre
macy of their Wall street friends.
Writs and counter writs are
issued, nnd all the machinery of the law is
put in operation with a recklessness and open
defiance of public opinion which would be
astounding in nny other locality than New York;
nnd the result has l c-en ilmt the t-toc-k, in many
of thecompanies that hnvc been thus annoyed,
is nearly worthless, ns personN who have money
to invest iref r to ut it where It will not be at
the mercy of a ring of gamblers and a corrupt
Judiciary.
Some of the New York judges have been much
raised of late for their severity towards crimi
nals, and the stern manner in v. hic'i tlicy have
meted out justice to the murderer and "thieves
who have been convicted in their courts. This
action would be entitled to universal commenda
tion if there was reason to I elievc thnt It was
prompted by flnccrc e'esire to protect the com
munity. The unprecedented rigor of one or two
New York judges lately Jb well known to have
been J Te mpted by a ring of Democratic politi
cians, who had Vccome alarmed at tho impu
nity with which crime is committed,
and feared that an outburst of popular indigna
tion would rescue the city from their control.
We have no faith that the paroxysm of virtue
which has atllicted the New. York Judges of lute
w ill produce any permanent effects; on the con
trary! everything indicates that tho wholo judi
ciary of that city is corrupt and entirely under
the control of a ring of sharpers who use the.
forms of law to accomplish their own nefa
rious ends.
That such a state of things must be injurious
to the business interests of New York Is ap
parent.' Tho Union Pacific Railroad and other
great corporations, who now have their princi
pal offices In that city, cannot afford to be an
noyed by constant litigation; and every con
sideration of Interest nud duty demands that
they should shake the dust of New York off
their feet, and establish their headquarters in
some more promising locality, where they will
receive protection and not annoyance from the
courts and officers of the law.
There ' Is no city on the continent better
adapted .for a great railroad headquarters than
Philadelphia. Our judiciary need no enco
miums: their Integrity is well known, and it
would be practically impossible for such men as
Mr. Flsk to carry on a system of legal intimida
tion and hliwkmail here. Matters have now
reached a point In New York that Imperatively
demands some decisive action on tho part of the
Union Pacific Railroad and other companies.
With no legitimate reason for it, their securities
are below par In the market, and they always
will be practically valueless If tho present stato
of affairs continues. The directors of these
corporations know their remedy; and If they
were to remove their offices to Philadelphia, tho
result would be apparent immediately In the
advance of their, securities and tho increased
confidence which all i ersous would feel iu their
stability. ' '
Gonecticct has clone even better than was
supposed. Not only Is Jewell, the Republican
candidate for Governor, certainly elected, but
we carry three of the Congressional districts a
gain of two and have a substantial working
inujority in both branches of the Legislature,
thus ensuring a prompt ratification of the con
stitutional amendment establishing manhood suf
frage throughout the Union. There ure not
many "crumbs of comfort" for tlie Democracy in
this."
Rhode Isla!d holds her State election to-day.
Although tho Republican majority last Novem
ber lacked only 103 votes of being equal to the
entire Democratic vote tho total for Grant
having been 12,W3, and for Seymour 6548 the
untcrrifled nnd undismayed have nominated a
full ticket, and will go through the motions of
casting their ballots. Governor Burnsido de
clined another re-election, aud will bo succeeded
bv 8cth Padelford.

DEPARTMENTS.
READY-MADE CLOTHING.
JODN W. ROGERS, Head of Department.

The majority of our citizens buy their clothoa
Ready-made ; many more would do so if they could
secure as good material, as fashionable styles and
finish as they do In having their garments made t
order. We see no reason why tins should not t
none, ana we propose to ao it, ottering to the pubao
Ready-made Clothing, suitable for the wardrobe of
any gentleman, cut in Style, weU made, of the best
material, and elegantly finished.

SPECIAL CARD.
j We believe that the growth of our city and the Im
proved tastes of our people In this matter of dress de
mand such an enterprise, and we propose meeting

ful and not limited experience, an ample cash capi
tal, the co-operation of the best of workmen in all
departments, aud a determination to succeed ; and
with the help of all who are interested uot only in
the comparatively small matter of

But also In the great matter of extending he mer
cantile Interest and spirit of our city, we Intend
making an establishment which will compare favor
ably both, in the amount of business douo and In the
manner of doing It, with auy similar coucern in New
"York or any other part of the couutry.

grounds, however, that we can supply you wiU
Clothing, either
