THE DELEGATE ELECTIONS. To-mobbow will be . big with the fate of the ambitious Republican politicians of Philadel phia. We publish elsewhere sketches of all the candidates for county offices, Congress, State Senator, and State - Legislature, and when it is remembered that the people are called upon to discriminate not only among those who compose this formidable array, but also among an innumerable army of aspirants for the ward offices, some idea may be formed of the herculean task which is thrust upon them by the present system. As if this task was not in itself sufficiently difficult, new complication have been added- by the intervention of delegates, so that the proposed nominees are at best voted for by proxy, and the result of the canvass is involved in such a maze of doubt, treachery, corrupt tion, and confusion that only trained politi cians can understand it. The legal portion of our political f abrio all hinges upon this extraneous machinery of the delegate elec tions and nominating conventions, which are outside of the pale of law and beyond the comprehension of citizens who do not make them a special study. In this very confusion the professional politician at once finds de light and profit. Useless to the community for every good purpose, and anxious only to revel as a parasite or a plunderer, his Bervioes are uniformly called into active requisition at the time when, by hook or by crook, by fair means or foul, one man is to be picked out of a hundred thousand as the recipient of the honors and emoluments of office. News papers have appealed for years to the bulk-of the party to attend these delegate elections for the purpose of ensuring good nomina tions. Sometimes these appeals have not been utterly in vain, but generally they are' disregarded; and when we consider how fre-' quently well-meant and vigorous efforts to promote reform - have proved unavailing; bow much deception, ' - rascality, and corruption are commonly practised; and bow fearfully the system fails to carry out the ends it is professedly created to promote, we can scarcely wonder at the prevailing disposi tion to leave the professional politicians and their immediate retainers to fight out this battle for the spoils among themselves. In their bickerings, however, let them remember that the time when they could positively en thrall independent voters is rapidly passing away, and that if no other resource is left to an outraged community it will deeply resent bad nominations at the polls, ff the people are betrayed in June they have always a chance of giving vent to their indignation in October. Even the Democracy of. this city were invited last year to an entertain ment too revolting for their, not over-dainty stomachs, and the overwhelming defeat which they subsequently received is traceable to this cause. Let Republican wire-pullers be ware of attempting a similar experiment upon the masses of the Republican party. If they make good nominations there will be an ex cellent prospect of the election of the Repub lican ticket. If they try to foroe notoriously bad men upon the public, thousands of voters stand ready to teach them a lesson they will not 6oon forget. TEE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES ' AS A POLICE COURT. The exact nature and extent of the privileges of members of Congress are beginning to be matters of serious interest to the people of the United States, and also the authority.of the Senate and House to imprison persons charged with disrespect or other offenses, or to seize without any other form of law than a resolution the private papers and property of citizens. Of late, the House of Representa tives especially has been exercising an almost unlimited power in these particulars, and as the fondness for conducting inquisitorial in vestigations seems to be increasing, it is well that an energetio protest should be made be fore the evil attains such a magnitude that it will be difficult to deal with. , The power that has been exercised by the House very frequently of late is a dangerous one at the best, and it would be open to the most serious objections if it were lodged only in the hands of vir tuous, high-toned, and honorable' men. Un fortunately, however, the majority of the men in Congress are neither virtuous, high toned, or honorable, and the results aohieved by the various investigating committees during the past few years have not been such as to inspire the public with much respect for the men comprising them, or with much regard for the superiority of this method of executing justice over the ordinary forms of law. Many of the investigations undertaken by the nouse have apparently had their origin in private malice, and they have been chiefly characterized by unseemly wraugles and exhibitions of general blackguardism on the part of the members of com mittees, witnesses, and", persona- accused of offenses, by irregular and Illegal seizure of private papers, and by a total disre gard for any of the constitutional or legal rights of citizens, while the practical results have in the majority of instances been either to make the investigation ridiouloua or to cover up and extenuate offenses that deserved punishment. The whole business of eon ducting investigations by committees of Con gress is fast becoming both ridiouloua and dangerous, and the scene that oocurred in the House of Representatives on Saturday is a fair example of the improper exeroise of the power claimed by the two branches of Con gress to order the arrest and imprisonment of real or imaginary offenders, and to send for persons and papers, without any limit to the discretion of committeemen. Week before last . Hon. Charles H. Porter, a member of the House from Vir ginia, beoame involved in a quarrel with an Irishman named Patrick Woods in the streets of Richmond. Several aooounts are given of the affair, whioh seems to have had its 'origin in whisky; but as the result was the infliction of a sound thrashing by the Hibernian on the sacred person of the Congressman, the latter has gone like a big baby to the House of Representatives, and besought its interference for the punishment of his assailant. The House unhesitatingly complied, and on Saturday the offender was brought before it by the Sergeant-at-Arms, and the whole matter was referred to the Judiciary Committee, Woods, meanwhile, being remanded to the custody of the Sar-geant-at-Arms, and Imprisoned in- the crypt of the Capitol. This would cer tainly seem to. be a case for the attention of the Richmond municipal authorities rather than for the National House of Repre sentatives, and for the House to constitute itself a general police court every time one Of its members, in any part of the country, may happen to engage in a drunken brawl, is not only to lower its dignity, but to set a pre cedent that cannot fail to be productive of serious consequences in the future. The man Woods probably deserves any punish ment that may be inflicted upon him, but the Hon. Charles H. Porter' does not appear to be any better than his assailant; and how Woods could have violated any of Porter's privileges as a member of Congress by beat ing him in Richmond, unless for fome offi cial act, is exceedingly difficult to under stand. f , Congress has an immense amount of very important work to do before the end of the session, and it would be much more satisfac tory to the country if it would confine itself strictly to its legitimate business, and let in vestigations into the conduct of Tom, Dick, and Harry alone until the real business of the country is disposed of. A case like the one now before the House is unworthy of its con sideration, and that body goes outside of its legitimate functions ' when it undertakes to inquire how and why one of its members hap pened to receive a black eye. RAILROAD GRANTS IN THE FAR WEST. An interesting digest -of the extent of the publio domain west of the Mississippi, pre pared by the "Veteran Observer" of the New York Times, which was recently published in this journal, knooks a great deal of the non sense out of the virulent opposition to the land grant to the Northern Paoifio Railroad. It appears that even if 120,000,000 acres are given to this and other continental railways there will still remain 873,000,000 aores un sold and unappropriated, exclusive of Alaska, so that emigrants who wish to settle in re gions remote from railways can be fully accommodated for an indefinite period of time. In Pennsylvania we have now a population of more than one person for every ten acres of land, and nearly half our territory remains uncultivated. By the time the , region west of the Mississippi is equally well filled up it will contain one hun dred millions of people, and even then room will be left there for new accessions of popu lation. But it is on or near the rail way lines, above all other places, that settlements - will first be estab lished. In .former times the rivers were necessarily selected as the centres of civiliza tion because they offered the only natural facilities of cheap and speedy travel and trans portation. Now railways perform the 'same office in a much more satisfactory manner, end bring the farmer and his products within hailing distance of civilization, whether he breaks ground in Minnesota or Nevada. No body works half as hard to put publio lands in the market, and to crowd them with set tlers, as the railroad companies which obtain land grants. Their peouniary salvation depends on the establishment of settlements, for with out them, neither the land nor the iron track is worth a baubee. The man who bemoans a land grant to a live company in an important and fertile region, on the ground that it will retard settlement, should study the history of the operations of the Illinois Central Railway, and trace their stupendous influence in ad vancing the Garden State to a foremost rank in the American sisterhood. The argument founded on the allegation that land grants and gigantic railways will necessarily enrich a few speculators is superficial." In this age, progress, improvement, and marked success of any description nepessarily put money into the pockets of those who encounter the risks and surmount the difficulties involved in great enterprises. If we are to stop every wheel which renders a profit to its owner, we shall soon be brought to a standstill. The projects which do not pay in some shape are necessarily forced, sooner' or later, to . Btop from sheer inanition, and if we arouse publio indignation against every enterprise that may permanently prove ' remunerative, we, shall retire from the ranks of live nations into the hopeless and helpless company of effete con servatives. If we bad stopped the war be cause contractors made money by furnishing supplies, or if we had told railroad men for the hist thirty years that they sheuld never realize a dollar of profit on their operations, America to-day would be -the scoff of her rivals instead of an object of mingled dread and admiration. ' OU1TUARV. f William (illin.r. Minima. On Saturday evening William uiliuore 8imm, the well known poet and novelist, died in Havana, Georgia, at the age of sixty-four years. Mr. mrams wi of Irish descent, and was born at Charleston, Booth Carolina, April IT, 1800. lie early nianiie sted a talent for literary pursuits, but various clrcura tanoes combined to prevent hltn from obtaining many educational advantages, lie commenced life as a clerk In a drug store, but afterwards studied law and was admitted to the bar. The law did not suit him, however, and he drifted Into jourualWni, becoming, la UU, editor of the Charles ton Gatettt. This paper declared for the Union dar ing the nullification excitement, and became s6 unpopular that Sir. Slmms was forced to relinquish. It lie then removed to Hlnghara, Massachusetts, where he wrote his lonrest and most elaborate poem, "Atalantls, a Ptory of the 8ct," which was published In New YorK in 1333." This brought him Into notlee as a litterateur, and he rapidly produced a number of works of poetry, history, romance, and miscellaneous Sketches and essays, which achieved considerable popularity. . . ,. Blnce 1848 be took no' active part In politics, bat daring and after the Rebellion he produced some very ridiouloua verses and magazine articles, glori fying secession and the lost cause, 7 which added nothing to his reputation. As a poe t Mr. Slmms did notmeke any decided mark, although he was the author of a number of verses that achieved consid erable popularity In their day. He Is best known by his prose romances, which are numerous and enter taining. - ' SPECIAL NOTICES. ' Par oHillttonat Special AoMom ttu ttuid Hhn. JJST 8 U M M E RAIMENT. R FOB MEN AND BOYS.
