BEDFORD, PA., FRIDAY, JULY 13, 1860.
CAMPAIGN INQUIRER
The INQUIRER will be issued as a cam
paign paper from and after the Ist of July to
the 1-th of October, 1866, to accommodate
those who are not regular subscribers.
The importance of the campaign should
-limulate the Republican party to place the
IN in the hands of every friend of Re
publican principles in this county. The can
vass will not only be important in view cf the
election of a Governor, but it will be recol
lected that a member of Congress, Senator,
two Reoresenuitives, and a full county ticket
from Prothonctary down to Andit-or are to be
e'ected. Every member of the Republican
party should be alive to the necessity of
promptly distributing healthy reading matte,
among the masses. Bedford county must be
carried against Copperbeadism at the coming
election. We were only beaten on an aver
age from 130 to 140 last fall. At least 100
deserters voted to make this majority. Since
then the bill disfranchising deserters has be
came a law and they will be excluded from
voting at the next election. This gives the
Republican party a majority of a few votes.
Now then is the time to wrench the political
ascendency from the party which, as a body,
has so terribly abused its power in this coun
ty for the last four years, and to accomplish
this much desired result the INQUIRER will
labor earnestly and deal most vigorous blows.
Every Union Man in the County, with
out an exception, should have a Copy.
Let our friends see that this is the case. A
little exertion will do it.
REGULAR TERMS:
The INQUIRER will be sent, one year, for
B—.oo, if paid in advance: $3,50 if not paid
within six months, and $3.00 if not paid
within the year.

THE FOURTH AT WOOHBEBRY.— The 4th of
Juiy was celebrated at Woodberry by the In
dependent Order of Odd Fellows, under the
auspices of Cove Lodge. No. £3B. Large
dr legations of the fraternity from Martinsburg,
Blair count) and from Bedford, uuitiDg with
them.
i he entire affair in all its detail was a com
p'ete success. A falling shower of rain com
pelled the Order to adjourn from n grove
where tho exercises were intended to have
been held to a Church in the town, but did
not in the least m;.r toe enthusiasm of the
cccasion.
Addresses were delivered by Dr. C. N.
Hickok, Prof. Schafier, Rev. Dr. Clark, Rev.
John H. Wilkinson, Rev. Cooper, and Rev,
A. W. Decker. The regular oration was de
livered by Dr. Hickok, which was one of the
finest pieces of oratory and log.c that it has
been our privilege to listen to for many years.
We will give a single extrr-ct, and wo feel sor
ry that space compels us to confine our selec
tion to only one of the many fine points in
this production:
' Man. the child of circumstance, was a
wanderer from his home influences. He was
a stranger among strangers. He was lonely,
heart-sick end weary. He was tempted and
fallen by the way. lie was destitute and dy
ing. He saw around hira on every side, those
whose forms and facet bore the impress of
the same creative power—the marks of the
sane handiwork. They were his brothers.
Did they recognize the fraternal claim ? Did
their common humanity impel them to pause,
the t they might cheer the lonely one : that
they might make gled the heert of the deso
late; that they might nourish the destitute;
that they might raise the fallen ; that they
might comfort the dying ? Alas' no! "The
Priest and the Lcvite passed by on the other
side"' and lett the stranger one to go on in his
lone pilgrimage—the dying one to die in his
desolation, What then could be expected of
the multitude ?
Then the spirit of Odd-Fellowship, like
a btautifi 1 angel vision appeared, and
with her magic wand toucLed the scene,
and a'l was changed. Brothers met the
lonely one iu the streets of tire strange
city, and he was lonely no longer. Brothers
warned the tempted one, and he fled from
danger. Brothers ministered to the suffering
one. and his sickness was not unto death!
Brothers cheered the weary ono, and he was
comforted. Brothers fed the hungry one,
and he perished not. Brothers clothed the
naked one, and he shivered 'neath the cold
blasts no longer. Brothers folded their arms
around the dying one, and with his latest
breath lie blessed thein."
With regard to the entertainment furnished
by Co - e Lodge for their visiting brethren,
and the ladies accompanying them, and oth
er invited guests, it is impossible by descrip
tion to do it justice. It was splendid, and
was fully appreciated and enjoyed by several
hundred individuals who all expressed their
unqualified approval of tlieir reception. Af
ter leaving the Church the procession reform
ed and returned to the Lodge room where
three tables the entire length of the I-lall
were loaded with the munificent repast with
regard to which good judges remarked they
''had never seen a better."
Skip' "B" sends us the following item un
der date of Bloody Run. Juuc 30, 1806:
Our town received a rare treat yesterday.
The Huntingdon String Band led by B. M.
Greene, Esq., paid us a visit and interspersed
the exercises of Prof. Long's Exhibition with
most excellent music. Mr. Long was fortu
nate in having secured the services of the
best band in this section of the State. After
the Exhibition a number of our citizens were
called upon and serenaded by the Band, and
it was only when the night was far advanced
that it ceased to bestow its compliments.
The Exhibition passed off pleasantly, and
was admitted by all to have been a good one
—creditable alike to the students and to the
worthy professor.

CORNELLSVILiLE RAILROAD CASE.
The Company Has Not Misused its
Charter.—State Lines Not Upon the
Map of the Union.
Charge o 1 Hon. Wilson M'Candless.
WiLLiAMSPORT, June 28.
CIRCUIT COURT OF THE UNITED STATES,
WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA, AT WILLIAMS
PORT, JUNE TERM, 1866.—The City of Bal
timore vs. the Southern Pennsylvania
Railroad Company, et al. lu Equity'
Judge M Candles? instructed the jury as
follows;
I regret very much that iu the trial of
this issue, I have not had the assistance of
my brother. Mr. Justice Gricr, whose se
vere indisposition has prevented him from
taking his seat on the bench at this term.
His high judicial reputation, co-extensive
with the Union, would have given a great
moral efteet to the instructions which it is
the duty of the Court to utter for your gui
dance. That is not expected in what may
be said by me. This is an issue out of
chancery, to inform the conscience of the
chancellor as to a question of fact which can
not be revived elsewhere, and I have only
to instruct you as to what constitutes misuse
and abuse of the franchise of a corporation.
Your verdict for either party, in making his
decree, the Chancellor may disregard alto
gether. You will have perceived during
this protracted and interesting investigation
that the Legislature of Pennsylvania, by an
act passed the 58th of Aprii, 1865, "and
which the Cover nor of the "State refusing to
sign under a provision of the Constitution,
became a law on the 19th of August of the
same year, repealed the charter of the Pitts
burgh and Connellsville Railroad Company.
That law this Court declared to be uncm.-ti
sutional, being a law impairing the obliga
tion of a contract which the State of Penn
sylvania made with a corporation and which
is in violation of the Constitution oft he Uni
ted States. As there was a writ of gunico.r
ranto at the instance of the Attorney Gen
eral of the State pending in the Supreme
Court, we deemed it due to the partiesTitiga-'
ting, as well as a proper courtesy to that
high court that an opportunity should be af
forded to the law officer of the Common
wealth to inquire in that tribunal whether the
Pittsburgh and Connellsville Railroad Com
pany had misused or abused its corporate
franchises. Ample time was allowed for
that purpose and no further proceedings
having been taken by the Attorney Gen
eral this Court directed an issue to try the
question of fact.
You have listened for many days to the
testimony on both sides given by respectable
tand intelligent witnesses and to able and
distinguished counsel who have exerted
their power to illustrate the details in evi
dence and it now becomes the duty of the
court briefly to explain the principle of law
applicable to the case. Upon your verdict
may depend what our final decree will be.
In this examination we have limited the in
quiry to acts of omission and commission on
the part of the corporation subsequent to
the eoodoning act of the State of Pennsyl
vania of the 11th of April, 1856, upon the
iaith of which the City of Baltimore loaned
her credit and paid one million of dollar-.
Any oftlnse against the sovereignty of the
State of Pennsylvania she pardoned by the
act of her Legislature of that date, i'ou
will therefore ascertain from the testimony
and inform us by your verdict whether the
Pittsburgh and Connellsville Railroad Com
pany since the year 1856 has tnisuaed and
abused the franchise granted to it by the
State of Pennsylvania. There can be no
abuse or misuse without a positive act of
malfeasance. This, to furnish ground of
forfeiture must be wilful, it must be some
thing more than accidental negligence,) ex
cess of power or mistake in the mode of ex
ercising an acknowledged power. There is
nothing profound or mystical about these
words misuse or abuse. They are not terms
iof art in the law. The popular sense in
which they are used every day isvcll known.
To abuse is composed ot'nO and vtor, and in
strictness it signifies to injure, diminish in
value or wear away by using improperly.
Misuse is a still rim pier word. It signifies
merely to use amiss. But I admit that
these wi-rds like all others may have differ
ent meaning, when spoken with reference
to different subjects. Acts which would be
an abuse of one thing may be no abuse of
another. We are therefore to ascertain
precisely what is abuse or misuse of tire cor
porate privileges by a company. Abuse in
cludes misuse. We take thorn* both togeth -
or, and define them thus: any positive act in
vioiation of the charter and. in derogation of
Subl : c right wilfully done or caused to be
one. by those appointed to manage the
general concerns of the corporation. Such
is the definition of misuse or abuse, adopted
by the court and you will apply it to the
facts given in evidence accordingly.
As to the sixteen points submitted by the
learned and able counsel for tho respondents
as well as the two by those of the complain
ants, I dismiss them and in the usually
emphatic language of my brother (drier, I
decline to answer such a catechism, except
as to the sixteenth point made by respon
dent and the two points made by complain
ants counsel. I answer distinctly that under
the act of the 18th of April, 1853, the Pitts
burgh and Gonnellsville Railroad Company
have the right to make their road to the
.Marvland line, and to connect there with
any road authorized by the State of Mary
land.
The case now on trial is ono of great na
tional importance. It was not tho design
of the wise f'ramers of the Constitution, nor
is it the policy of the Government and peo
ple of the United Stales, that any Common
wealth shall be permitted to place restric
tions upon commerce between the States of
the Union. Orur territory is so vast in ex
tent embracing such a variety of soil, climate
and mineral wealth and with a restored and
unbroken nationality, so capable of future
and further extension and development that
both for military and commercial purposes,
the mere imaginary boundary lines of States
arc: not to lie considered upon the map of
the Union. It seems too much like the
European system of visiting passports at the
dividing line of every petty monarchical
principality. The propriety and necessity
of this very road has been recently agitated
in Congress and a bill looking to its early
construction has passe 1 its popular branch.
It should be made placing as it will the fer
tile fields of the great West and the Lakes
in direct commuuication with the scat of the
general Government.

RENDITION OF ANOTHER rjLDI
CIAL DECISION IN REGARD TO
THE ATLANTIC AND GREAT WES
TERN RAILWAY CASE.
Difference in Guage no Good Reason
for declaring that a Connexion Can
not Exist.
We publish below the decisions rendered
by the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, at
Wiikesbarre, in the great controversy
between the Philadelphia and Erie Railroad
Company and the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company ou the one side, and the Catawis
sa Railroad Company, the Atlantic and
Great Western Railway Company, and the
Philadelphia and Reading Railroad Compa
ny and other companies on the other side.
The points decided by the court —all the
Judges except Judge Read concurring—are
so clearly stated by the Chief Justice, who
pronounced the.decision, that we need not
restate them. They will be read, undoubt
edly, with great interest.
The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania ex rel.
Attorney General vs. the Atlantic and
Great Western Railway Company. %
Information and suggestion in nature of
quo warranto.
Chief Justice Woodward pronounced the
following decision per curiam :
The ease having been fully argued and
considered, we are of opinion—
First That the instrument J au rti
ficate of consolidation of the Atlantic and
great Western Railway Company, date 119 th
of August, 1805, was a lawful and valid
instrument for the purposes therein express
ed, and upon being filed in the office of the
Secretary of the Commonwealth, constitu
ted the defendants a legal corporation in
the State of Pennsylvania.
Second. That mil teil record is well
replied to by the defendants' pleas, and the
demurrer to the replication must bo over
ruled. But the defendants have leave to
rejoin that there is such a record with j>
prout patf't record.
'lined. If. in support of such rejoinder,
the defendants shall produce the contract of
agreement and act of consolidation set forth
in answer to the oyer craved by the Attor
ney General, with the evidence that the
same was deposited with the Secretary of
State in his office, on the third day of Octo
ber, 1865, the opinion of this Court will be
that the defendants have fully complied with
the requirements of law in respect to said
instrument: that it became then and there
the duty of the Secretary of the Common
wealth to file the same of record ; that as
agents of the Commonwealth, the legal pre
sumption must be that the secretary per
formed his duty, and filed the same of rec
ord, and that it remained and still remains
of record in his office, and judgement will
occordingly be entered for the defendants
upon inspection of the instrument and such
proof. If, in the opinion of counsel, any
endorsement of the date of filing by the
secretary be necessary, a mandamus would
lie to command him to add the appropriate
date, and to perform every other necessary
act in the premises.
OPINION OK CHIEF .JUSTICE WOODWARD.
The Philadelphia and Erie Railroad Com
pany and trie Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany vs. The Catawissa Railrood Com
pany and the Western Central Railroad
Company of Pennsylvania, aud the Atlan
tic and Great Western Railway Company
of the States of Ohio, New York and
Pennsylvania.
Andrew Scott vs. the samo defendants.
Two bills in equity, on appeal from the
decree of the Court of Ni-i I'rius of Phila
delphia, sitting in equity. Woodward, C. J.
An opinion will bo tiled in the above
eases, at the next term of this court, to be
held at Pittsburg on the third Monday of
October next in which the following conclu
sions will be explained and justified :
First. That the plaintiffs in the above
bills in equity being private parties, and
not representatives of the Commonwealth
of Pennsylvania, have no right to draw into
question the corporate existence dc jure of
the Atlantic and Great Western Railway
Company.
Second. That it appearing that Andrew
Seott is not the owner of any stock iu the
said company, he has no equity to mantain
his bill against the said company.
Third That the lea.-e ami contract made
the lirst day of Novem<>et\ ixt>>, between
the Catawissa Railroad Company of the
first part, and the Western Central Rail
road Company of Pennsylvania, and the
Atlantic and Great Western Railway Com
pany of the States of Goto. New York and
Peutisyiv'aiiia, of he second part, is a law
ful aD'l valid lease and contract, and that no
f round has been shown for a decree that it
e cancelled or aunuiled.
Fourth. That the memorandum of
agreement made the 31st of October, 1860,
between the Sunbury and Erie Railroad
Company of the first part, and the Catawis
sa Railroad Company, of the second part,
is lawtul and valid for the term of twenty
years from its date and that all the rights
and interests of the Catawissa Railroad
Company under said agreement have pass
ed to and become duly vested in the Atlan
tic and Great Western Railway Company.
Fifth. That under the several contracts
and agreements, and within the meaning of
the act of Assembly of the 23d of April,
1861, mentioned or referred to in the bills
and answers, the Philadelphia and Erie
railroad connects the Catawissa railroad with
the Atlantic and Great Western railway
notwithstanding the diversity of guage in
said roads.
Wherefore it is now, this 2'Jth day of
June, A. D. 18(56, considered, ajudged and
decreed, that the decrees made in the above
cases at Nisi Prius be reversed, set aside
and taken for nought; and it is heredecreed
that each or said plaintiffs' bills be dismiss
ed, at tho costs of the plaintiffs respect
ively.
DISSENTING OPINION OF JTSTICK READ.
The Philadelphia and Erie Railroad Com
pany et al vs. The Catawissa Railroad
Company ot al.
Andrew Scott vs. the same.
Eastern District of Pennsylvania. Ap
peal from decree of Nisi Prius.
Read, J.—ln my opinion at Nisi Prius. I
said. "The real question in this case is
whether the railroads of the Atlantic and
Great WesdLrn Railway Company and the
. hiladelphia and Erie Railroad Company
arc connecting roads within the meaning of
the acts ai Assembly of the 13th of March
1847, the 29th of March, 1859, and the 23d
of April, 1861—for if they are such con
necting roads, the fivst named road is con
nected by means of an intervening railroad
with the Catawissa railroad, with the road
o. the Philadelphia and Erie Railroad Com
pany.
I believed the true construction of' thes
acts required that connexion to be a mechaue
teal connexion, so that the cars and locomo
tives of the one road could run over the
other, thus preventing a break of gauge,
which the uniform experience of England
and America has proved to be highly injuri
ous both to freight and passenger traffic. A
careful study of railroad history had so
impressed the extent of this evil'upon my
rniml, that I believed the words, the spirit
and the policy of these acts required such a
construction. My brethren think different
ly, and they regard the connexion meant as
simply a business one ; This rules the case,
and all other questions become entirely
immaterial, for whether the consolidation of
the the Ohio, Pennsylvania and New York
companies was legal or not, still there was a
Pennsylvania road, under a charterfrom the
htiite, with a business connection at Corry,
and neither the plaintiff nor any one else
had a right to apply to a court of equity to
restrain, the execution of a lawful contract.
. Ihe policy of avoiding a break of guage
is proved by the stipulations of the Phila
delphia and Reading contract ; and, since
the argument before me, the road from El
mira to Canandaigita has had its gauge
changed four feet eight aud a half inches
forming, with New York Pennsylvania and
Maryland roads a continuous land route,
with one uniform gauge, from the Niagra
to Washington city. Still further; since
the commencement of this court the Mor
ris and Essex—one of the roads to be used
m the contemplated route to New York
base hanged jts gauge to a uniform gauge
of four feet eight and a half inches (the nar
row gauge), bo as to connect mechanically
with the 1 ennsylvania road at Easton.
I dissent from the decree just filed.

Standard History of the Grand Army.
THE GREATEST WORK ON THE WAR.
1 nivercally endorsed by army officers and the
press. The author says:
"I design in this volume to record what that
Army did and suffered in ten vfcmpaigns and two
score battle*."
"I shall have to celebrate the unswerving loy
alty of this aTmy, *that oft times when the bond of
military cohesion failed held it, unshaken of for'
tune, to a duty self-imposed."
"I shall have to follow It through a checkered
experience, in a tale commingled of great inisfur
tunes, great follies and great glories: but from
first to last it will appear that, amid many buffets
of fortune, through "winter and rough weather,"
the Army of the Potomac never gave up, but
made a good fight, and finally reached tho goal."
The Army and Navy Journal rays:
"This is the only American critical work on the
late war. and it is thoroughly critical and entirely
divested of all political hue crtone."
This is the only history of the "Grand Army,"
and no one who has borne a put in its conflicts,
