Wk Lave no disposition to imitate the exam
ple of the Republican journals which assail
the private character of Asa Tacker. lie has
made ft large fortune, and made it honorably,
lie has aoqnired a high character for
integrity as well as enterprise; and the opinion
of the Tribune that he came honostly by his
twenty millions of dollars is doubtless cor
rect. His endowment of the Lehigh Univer
sity was also a generous and praiseworthy act,
Sor which he is entitled to great credit, and
we will not join in any attempt to diminish
the public entimnte of that meritorious de9.l.
At the same time, the peculiar personal
position of Asa Packer is, in our judgment, a
fair subject of public discussion, in view of
the important influence he might exercise
tipon the whole internal improvement policy
ofthe State if he should be elected Governor
of Pennsylvania.
We cannot shut our eyes to the fact that
railroad influence is an important, if not a
predominat ing, element in the politics of the
Country. New Jersey has often been ruled
by her great railway corporations. The scale
of New York politics has repeatedly been
turned by the managers of her powerful rail
ways. Illinois has been influenced, to a large
extent, by the action of the officers of the
Illinois Central. And Pennsylvania has been
by no means free from the domination of her
powerful railway corporations.
There is a special significance in the nomi
nation, at such a juncture, of a Guber
natorial candidate who owns infinitely more
railway property lhan any other man in the
State, and whose whole soul is identified with
the prosperity and progress of one of our most
powerful, progressive, and aggressive rail
ways. As Governor he could exerciso the
veto power, and no legislation could be per
fected against his opposition, unless it re
ceived ft two-third vote in the House and
Senate. Practically, he would be master of
the railwaypolicy of the Commonwealth. If he
threw the whole weight of his influence in
behalf of the corporation in which he is most
deeply interested, he could Bcarcely fail to
secure any legislation he desired to promote
its interests; and he would undoubtedly be
enabled to crush any scheme devised
for the benefit of rival or hostile rail
way corporations. Now, as Asa Packer is the
principal owner of the Lehigh Valley Rail
road, it is not difficult to imagine contingen
cies in which he could, as Governor, exert an
influence that would enhance, by millions of
dollars, ttoe value of his railway stock; and it
is not at all impossible that the very act by
which he could thus be enriched would enure
to the disadvantage, to an equal extent, of
antagonistic corporations, or of sections of
the Commonwealth not traversed by his road.
We do not believe that Asa Packer would be
more apt to exert this fearful power than any
other citizen, but voters should consider wall
the proposition of the Democracy to confer
it upon him, and ask themselves whether it is
wise, just, or prudent to give one who has
fco much at stake a controlling influence over
railway as well as other legislation ? When
A. T. Stewart was appointed Secretary of the
"Treasury, he was confronted by an old law
which forbid any importer from actiug in that
capacity; and the wisdom of the enactment
was generally acknowledged. Does not the
.principle which disqualified him dis
qualify Asa Packer from sitting in solemn
judgment upon the railway legislation of
Pennsylvania? Can he be expected to act
fairly, disinterestedly, and justly on the rail
way enactments which form a large and, in
he me respects, the most important, portion
of legislation, when his own individual in
terests hang trembling in the balance, and
when his veto or his signature to a proposed
bill may put a million of dollars into his pri
vate pune ? This possibility is by no means
remote, and Asa Packer could scarcely serve
through a three-years' term as Governor with
out having the responsibility repeatedly
thrust upon him of deciding whother he
should prefer the promotion of his individual
interests or those of his railway rivals.
The Democratic candidate for Governor is
the embodiment of the Lehigh Valley Rail
road. He created it, extended it, and is still
its guiding and controlling spirit. This
is, in itself, creditable. But should he be
allowed to use the whole influence of the
Executive Chamber to advance its fortunes,
to crush its rivals, to form advantageous
new combinations? The position of the
Lehigh Valley Railroad is peculiar. By the
side of the main line from Phillipsburg to
Wilkesbarre, a distance of 101 miles, runs the
parallel Lehigh and Susquehanna Railroad,
and at many points thoy are but a few yardi
distant from each other. Occupying the
same territory and competing for the same
business, a little legislation granted here, or
a denial of legislation there, may give a con
clusive advantage to one or the other
Of these powerful antagonists. Then
the Lehigh Valley Road, through
its branches and connections, is advancing
into the coal territory heretofore monopolized
1 tn? fading llailroud. How will that cor
poration like the idea of being placed, iu a
152' U L keen the desire of the New
xEZfn, IT to fiud uUet to the
TSStS r-UHylvania,
Lehigh road would naturally become an im
portant link of ch liue
Packer help, as Governor, to consummate a
CwJ'SlWteHWCAlta tin taUwjt, I jMifc
dolphia ? A consolidation of the most psw
erful railway and coal corporations of North
eastern Pennsylvania has been proposed, with
the view of forming a combination that
could control the prices of coal in all
time to come. Will the railway king as
Governor, Becure the legislation necessary to
consummate this scheme ? These and many
other questions of a similar character are
made legitimate Ikbuos of the impending can
vass by the action of the Democratic State
Convention. Wealth ban its burdens and
complications as well as its advantages. If
the Whigs of the oldon time liad nominated
Nicholas Riddle as their candidate for Gov
ernor, the Democracy would have insisted
upon a discussion of the whole policy of the
Unitod States Bank; and, with equal or even

DISSATISFACTION IN Til 12 DEMO
CRATIC HANKS.
Another manifesto which we publish to-day
from honest and decent members of the
Democratic party indicates that the dissatis
faction at the nominations made nt the late
City and County Conventions is extending
and assuming portentous proportions. The
fact is that decent, law-abiding citizens of all
parties are thoroughly disgusted with the rule
of the rings of politicians, who now play into
each other's hands, and there is a settled deter
mination to break them up and to create a
reform. It is understood that Hon. Samuel
Randall will be the Chairman of the Dem
ocratic State Central Committee, and that an
effort will be made to throw overboard such
candidates as Ahem and Stewart, in order not
to weaken the State ticket in the city. If
this is done, it is certain that the position of
the Democracy will be greatly strengthened,
and such action on their part is at once an
example and a warning to the Repub licans.
If the Republican party does not discard the
black sheep on its ticket, its chan ces in Octo
ber will bo slim indeed.
THE NAVY DEPARTMENT.
Tue great majority of naval officers have al
ways been opposed to having one of their
own number at the head of the Navy Depart
ment. It is admitted that thero would be
some advantage obtained if the Secretary
were selected from one of the officers high on
the roll, but, leaving other important con
siderations out of the question, it is esteemed
far more advantageous to have a civilian, who
will be free from all the jealousies and heart
burnings that exist in the sendee, and who
will be able to adjudicate impartially upon all
disputed questions that arise. This feeling
has been greatly intensified since the acces
sion of President Grant, as it is understood
that Admiral Forter is the de facto Secre
tary. It was through the advice of
this officer that the various unpopular acts of
the late Secretary were perpetrated; and while
it was hoped by naval officers in all branches
of the service that Secretary Robeson would
take the reins in his own hands, there has as
yet been no signs that he intends to do so.
There are few persons who know anything of
Admiral Porter but will decide that he is one
of the most unfit men in the service for the
delicate position he now holds. We admit all
that can be said for him as a gallant, patri
otic and skilful commander, but personally
he is unpopular to the lust degree, and he is
one of those officers who think that the navy
of the United States exists for the sole benefit
of the graduates of the Naval Academy in
general and of the Porter family in particular.
This judgment may seem harsh, but it is
true, and it is essential that such things should
be said, as the course of the Navy Department
during the last four months has created a
great amount of serious dissatisfaction among
the officers of the navy, and has brought the
service into ridicule andjdone it much injury.
The old squabble between the line and
staff officers was revived in all its intensity as
soon as Admiral Porter obtained the control
of the department. The surgeons, paymas
ters, and engineers were deprived of the rank
and privileges that had been aocorded them,
and the uniforms were so altered as to mark
in the most distinct and invidious manner the
difference between the two branches of the
service. It may seem a small matter for
men to quarrel about the amount
of gold lace and brass buttons that they shall
wear; and so it is, if that was all. The great
majority of officers of all grades, however,
would be well satisfied if their uniforms were
mado as plain as possible, but by the new
regulations the line officers have been be
dizened with lace and buttons in a particu
larly gorgeous manner, while the decorations
of the staff officers have been reduced in a
corresponding proportion, making them at
once appear as if bolonging to inferior grades,
and by no means as the equals of the line. The
staff officers have never asked for military
command, or for any privileges that will inter
fere with the just position of the line officers,
but they have asked for the assimilated rank,
the proper uniforms, and the privileges of
quarters which will make their social position
on board ship equal to that of the line offi
cers. In other words, they ask to be put upon
the some footing exactly as the staff officers
of the army. The intellectual training aud
discipline of the Navul Academy never have
been such that its graduates can claim any
superiority on that account over the surgeons
and engineers; as a military school, it always
has been inferior to West Point, and it is a
question whother its efficiency has been in
creased under Admiral Porter, who is reported
to pay more attention to the heels than to the
heads of his pupils, and to estoeiu the dano-ing-master
above the professor of mathe
matics. It is certainly time for Congress to
take up this question of the rank and privi
leges of the staff and line, and settle it on
equituble principles, so that no jealous in
fluences in the Navy Deportment will be able
to dihtuib it.
It always has beon one of Admiral Porter's
hobbies to imitate in our service the pecu
Jiiu;iies of JSngUsh. Bavy, TJiis, M WU.l.
as the rivalry referred to, has probably influ
enced his action towards the staff offioera,
and has induced tho changing of the Ameri
can names of our ships-of-war to those of tho
oIrrhio mythology, or to those even more
absurd names borrowed from the clumsy Bri
tish system of nomenclature. This action of
the Navy Department was cloarly illegal,
as it has no more right to change
the name of a vessel without special
permission of Congress than has a private in
dividual. The sooner Secretary Robeson un
does the work of his predecessor in this re
spect, and sends Admiral Porter back to in
struct his youngsters at Annapolis in naval
etiquette, the better it will be for himself,
for the navy, and for the country.
A RAID ON THE Oil, LAND XPKCU
LATURS. Thk New Jersey Court of Appeals recently
decided, in a suit brought to recover dam
ages resulting from the failuro of an oil land
speculation, that tho party who had made
extravogant representations, on which the
transaction was based, should be held respon
sible for tho losses incurred. Undor this
riding, many shar ks may yet be mado to dis
gorge, not only in New Jersey but in Penn
sylvania. Every neighborhood has its victims,
and thousands of men are still suffering from
the swindles perpetrated during the oil excite
ment. We believe that our courts have
already decided that where a party who acted
as agent for a company made false represen
tations in regard to the amount he paid for
an oil properly, he can be made to refund
the sum surreptitiously placed in Lis owa
pocket; and if to restitution in cases of tins
kind our courts add the restitution contem
plated by the New Jersey decision, the few
oil speculators who made fortimos out of the
madness of tho many will have a rough road
to travel.

W hercas, The corruption and the ruinous policy of the
Radicals have at length driven the people of tbis Com
monwealth to determine dpou their removal from power,
and to look to the Democratic party as the only means of
restoring the prosperity of our State and of instituting the
reform so earnestly desired ; therefore
liotolvel, That .fully sensible of the responsible position
of our party, and consci m that suooess in the cominr
campaign will depi n I upon an honost and fair adherence
to the principles we have always sdvocated, it is a duty wo
owe f the Cnmmnnw.vilth, as WV1 ay to our partv, to son
that we come before the people for their support in a man
ner and by moans tliut cannot be impeached.
Resolve I, Tin t.rx'ogni.inji in the outrageous conduotof
the late City and County Conventions, held in this city, a
determination to force upon us, by the grossest inu la, ac

nothing but n overwhelming .'e'eat await us at the elec

to have been nnmiiuted to withdraw, and to uuite with us
in urging a lair, honest and regular nomination. We hero

FRANKLINITE BANKER'S CHEST.
Pebrytillb Station, Pennsylvania RR.,1
June 12, lSoft.
Messrs. Farrkl, ngRRrno A Co.,
No. 62 Chesnut street, Philadelphia,
Gents: A persistent but unsuccessful effort was
made on the night of May 89, i860, to drill the
Banker's chest received from you a few menth ago.
From facts that have come to our knowledge, it la
evident that the attempt to open it was renewed on
Sunday evening following. Finding all efforts to drill
it useless, the effort was then made to break the
lock. The hammering was heard by parties In the
neighborhood for several hoars, but supposing it to
arise from the railroad men replacing a defective
rail, excited no alarm. The tools, with the exception
of the drills, were left. It is evident that they were
not only prepared, but perfectly familiar with the
construction of your Chest
That they failed la another evidence that your
Banker's Chests are what you claim for them, Burglar-Proof.
Respectfully yours,
1P X BALSBACK, Agent.
