§ebforb|n()iurfr. BKBFOKD, I'A., FRIDAY, MARCH B,tSffJ. TBI (ONNKi i.svil.i.i: RAILIOAB AND THE PENNSYLVANIA LBGHLATI'KE. Bomo weeks since, Col. McClure in the Chatubersburg Rrp'xitary, charged upon the Pennsylvania Legislature that it now is. and for years past has been, reeking with corruption. Col. McClure is a frequenter of the Lobby, aud has been, within the last four years, a member of each brunch of the Legislature. He ought to know that where of he speak-. He can say, like Omnia rich' pan fui. We see no reason to doubt the accuracy of (Jol. McClure's powers of observation >r the correctness of his information, and ate not disposed to become the champion of the honesty of the Legislature—would rather undertake seine -mailer job—thougff we think the present Legislature, would com pare favorably enough, in this regard, with some of its predecessors; as, for instance, the Legislature which repealed the toDuace tax and enacted the Sunbury aud Erie Hail Koad bill, wherein Col. McClure was a prominent member of the Senate, and Thom as A. Scott of the Pennsylvania Rail Road Company was a still more prominent num ber of the Lobby. So far a- we have considered the subject, we are inclined to regard Col. M,-('lure's proposed Constitutional amendments with l ivor. One thing is very sure, some great reformation at Harrisburg is necessary and that right speedily. For example look at the Legislation in re gard to the Connellsville Rail Road. In I84(> that company was incorporated, and in ] 857 had completed its line from Pittsburgh to Connellsville, had the whole road lo cated to Cumberland, and had procured releases for the right of way of the entire route. It also had under contract the Sand Patch Tunnel through the Alleghany t w tain and a good deal of work done thereon. The financial trouble of that period and the failure of Geo. ' l - " '* , the road, postponed temporarily any further work. It was not until 18uh that the tinan •jdjsffaw" e ■' ~ me company Warranted a further effort to complete the road. In the early part of 1854 lion. Ben jamin Latrobc, the President of the compa ny, advertised the whole line from Connells ville to Cumberland to be let on contract. •Just then the Pennsylvania Legislature, in stigated by the Pennsylvania Rail Road company, interfered, and reciting in the preamble of the act that the road had ab used, and abused its charter, repealed, for that professed reason, the charter. The matter went into the United States Circuit Courts and Judge Grier ruled, the Legisla ture could not thus take away vested rights. I'hat the quc-tion of misuse or abu-e of chartered privileges was for the Courts, that it could only be decided by a jury. Accord ingly a jury was empannelled at Williams port 'ast June, to determine the fact, and the verdict w.i 3 that the company bad not | misused or abused its charter. At this trial the Pennsylvania Rail Road company was represented by Theodore Cuy ler, the regular attorney of that road and by two Ex-Judges of the Supreme Court, Low ry and Black. One would suppose that this would be enough for the Legislature, that honest UP. u who had been deceived by a Hail Road com pany into a repeal of the charter of another road thus unjustly and on a false allegation of fact thus proved to be false (irrevocably and unchangably proved to be false for the verdict settles the fact forever) would hasten to revoke the law. Yet the Pennsylvania Rail Road company has again been at \ ..irk. and the Legislature refuses to do this ju-1 thing. How long shall these thing- be? What extent of patient long suffering do political tricksters and corrupt Kail Koad officials im agine the people possessed of? Is the Pennsylvania Rail Road to stand in the waj of progress and utterly prevent the devel opment of Southern and South Western Pennsylvania by any Rail Road except they be petty tributaries to her, and paying her rates which are almost prohibitory. It- costs more now to get freights from Pittsburgh to Bedford than it used to by wagons. The utmost freedom of traffic and of transit, unimpeded by State lines or by the interest, real or fancied, of any set of men, or city, is what the country demands and ought to have. The whole developments of the last three years demonstrate that the so-called Con nellsville & Southern Penn'a. K. 11. is a mere sham, of the Penn'a. 11. It. company to occupy the ground to keep any road from being made. If this were not the case why j have they not made the road from Mt. Dal las to Bedford ? That portiou of the line: would be immediately available. They could operate it in connection with the Hun tingdon and Bedford Road for the present until they get the rest of the line comple ted. Are the people of Southern Pennsylvania thus to be cajoled and hood-winked? Gen tlemen of the Pennsylvania Rail Road be warned in time. It was a single feather that broke the loaded camels back. There is a Sampson in the land, and y>- and your : 1-legislative tool- are Philistines. It is true j that Sampson is sleeping, but he may lie : Providentially awakened to lay his hand up j on your iniquitous earca. sea. If we are to have a Constitutional convention it would be well to inquire what provisions can be adopted to protect us from the incubus of a Rail Road monopoly that is crushing the | very life out of a large section of the Com monwealth. TIIUEE panels of a heavy hoard fence in , Altoona were lately blown down by a gust of wind, and, fulling upon Mr. Geo. llinckle broke that gentleman's leg and shattered his ancle.

HHE UK THE SHOE PINCHES. We have taken a deep interest and a somewhat active part in the movement to amend our Hrhool Laws. For the further ance of this object we have frequently dis co- cd the question in our editorialcolumns. We have taken radical ground; the disease radical ~ne, and we believe that none but radical measures can remedy it. To some of our positions, the "Teacher's Ad locate" ha- seen fit toobject. It appeals to the public for a vindication of the Superin tendent's Convention, from our declaration "that we believe that the great majority of the Convention, and indeed of Superin tendents and teachers generally are woeful ly deficient in a knowledge of the school statistics of. the State, and the working of our school laws already in existence," It may demur, but the- well informed educa tors of the State will agree with us. W'o .ire satisfied* from our own intercourse both with the Sup rintendenm in the Convention and the teachers generally, t hat cur faith is well founded. Many good teachers there are, and Superintendents too, and we have no doubt but that the editor of the Advo cate is of the number, but they are in a fearful minority. The gist of the Advocate's demurer from our position on the amend ments will be found in the following extract from its la t article. "The principal objec tionl to he urged against the plan of distri bution according to the ratio of the schools, are its tendency to increase unnecessarily tlm number of seho- Is, and the hostility which it would • ncounter from the towns ami cities. Tito latter clause tells the tale for the Adcocute, and for a treat many of our Superintendents, and indeed not a few of ouf Legislators, who, while a great majority of their constituents arc anxious for reform in the school lav, -e are muzzled by their fear of some rotten, old fogy bor ough or country village, where the people are quite willing to aceeptall the advantages, but averse to bearing any of the burthens of the Gomroon School System. We were aware that short-sighted and illiberal minds iu country villages, as well as in the larger cities, would oppose us, and we are not sur prised at their appearance in the arena, even from the mountain fastnes.-es of the Al k-riiaiue a- well as from the larger and richer idtrinpi rno cUIHn pari ui ifio oiaic. ic .mow that we would have shortsightedness and sclfi.-hin s io contend with, and vveal-o .new that we would find opposition in our midst, from those who were incapable of ri sing above the -elfish interests of their own isolated di-tiicts. We were prepared for all this. But we counted, and still do, on the -tanee of those who can rise high enough above mere self to enable tlicm to take broad and liberal views of public meas ure-, and consider the interests of the whole State, without any cramping from village g' is.- ips. Wo expect to fight it through and are by no means alarmed at a little factious opposition, even from those we intend to benefit. We still adhere to our belief that the appropriation should be distributed in proportion to the number of schools Our space forbids the taking up separately each ca-e cited by the Advocate, to show the pro propriety of a distribution accoiding to tin number of pupils, but we will examine its first comparison of John-town district with Carroll, the one a borough, the otic raeoun try district; it shows that Johnstown rem iv ed 33 ct-\ of an appropriation, per pupil, while Carrol township received but 21 ct-. and all ges that the distribution according to the ratio of pupils, would give them equal amount - per pupil, and thereby do justice ta tli- country districts. lict us examine into the character of the justice proposed to he obtained by this method. The fundamen tal principle of the law is that the State ' owes equal educational facilities to ati its children. Johnstown, by the propos- j cd method would have received an ] j appropriation of sslt\.V sufficient to j have kept her it .©ho€*U open each 1.25; months with a -alary for < ach teacher j of $45 per. month ; now the AJc< , ii, it de ire to do exact Justice to the country j districts, will <• rtainly allow that Carroll township is entitled to as good teachers as Johns: v,v.j, and therefore should be enabled to pay as high wages, but by tbe Advoc 'e's i 'cily J' -<t system of di h ibutiwi, Carroll would get but $325.08, for her 13 schools which would keop them open, at a teacher's salary fur each of $45, each about .55 of a month. Here we find a fearful discrepancy in this model system. The Advocate will excuse our obtusencss, if we cannot under stand why the town should be furnished by the State with about two and one-fourth times as much proportionate aid as the country. But this is not all. The Advo cate might have stated that the cost of tui tion of each scholar per month in Carroll district was 69 cts. although the teachers received but. $25.00 per month, while in Johnstown, the cost was but 31 cts. though the tcachet s received an average salary of $45.00 per. month. Such statements, we admit*, would not help the Advocate's argu ment very much, but they are stubborn facts and must be taken into account. We hope the Advocate will state the whole ease to the citizens of Cambria county, and partic ularly to tho.-c of Carroll district. CKIFPLBD FOR LIFE. The person who has been so unfortunate as to lose an arm or a leg, or l>e otherwise maimed, usually receives the commisera tion of the community. It is indeed a great a great misfortune to be thus maimed. But there is a class of cripples whose infirmities are of a much more serious na ture, but being the legitimate result of their own follies, they seldom, or never receive the sympathy front the public, which their de ploiable condition might be expected to ex cite. They are forever doomed to cripple through life, for no amount of assistance suffices to restore to them what they have wilfully thrown away, wasted time and neg lected opportunities. We met one a while ago on the sidewalk, we knew him when a school boy, he prt pared hisLatinand Greek from translations, and copied his Mathemat ies from his ela--mat • - slate; he was apt at marbles and shinny. In looking upon his lithe form and bright eyes, his friends prophesied fot him a career.of honor and u ef'tt!!ie>.s. little did anyone dream that in wasting hi.- two* and neglecting his oppor tunities for mental ulture, he wa i irever blighting his future prospects. .School days over, and marbles bod •> ide. he entered up- ou the study of a profession ; his mind was untrained ; be failed to enter his profession, next ho tried business, fust one kind, then another, failure followed each attempt—as we passed hiui by, we involuntarily ex claimed "Crippled for life." Wr .saw anoth er —he was still young, with a limited edu cation lie had entered n lucrative profession, his prospects were lair, by proper diligence his educational deficiencies might have been remedied and his mind fitted to elevate him to honor and usefulness in his profes sion, but every moment of bin time that ! could by any device be spared fioni the im perative duties of his profession, win devo ted to social dissipation or tound him the Loon companion of merry fellows, in mid night revels ; his mind was neglected, he ceased to improve—A little later, we saw him again—long after business hours he made his appearance in his accustomed place, he tnct us with a furtive glance, but blood-shot eyes and drowsy looks told the story of his last night's dissipation ; lie was unfit for business, he too, we mentally ejae ulated. is being "Crippled for life." We see these cripples every day. They -(and at the street corners, they loaf at stores, bar rooms and beer shops ; they may be found lata at night in Lack rooms, with cards, liq uors and tobacco, they are "Crippled for life." There are many such cripples in eve ry community. They drag out at stored, useless existence, an incubus upon society, a reproach to themselves, and oft tim i a burthen to their friends. With such pic tures before our eves, when we see a young man begin to drink from the poisoned chal ice of idleness and di-sipation, makin. em ployment the exception, and diversion the rule, sooner or later leading to the in toxicating cup, we feel constrained to cry out, stop ere it is too late, turn back while you may ; once fairly in the current of a dissipated life, the further von go the lo<i is your chance of ever being rescued from the downward cour-.e. The victims of op portunities unimproved, lie -cattoied a 1 along the pathway of life. How many will heed the warning? How many will i .--.fit to go on for the present, an I in aft , lile look hack to regret their neglect of th gold en moment of opportunity? The one course offers comfort, usefulness and honor •I . ..-V,. v - I — -■ . (r, torture and disgrace. Young man. for which are you preparing yourself ? The few. short and apparently uneventful, years of early manhood, will decide your destiny tor life, for time and perhaps for eternity. It \ltlt I Mil I. IU; CORRESPONDENCE. ll.uiiusiii no. March 4, 1807. The jury bill to which I referred, at length in a former letter, has been slightly amended and passed, a first reading by the Senate. The only important alteration is in the see ond section, which now is as follows : Strike out all after the words "persons to serve as jurors in the several courts of such county during that year, and—and insert in lieu thereof: "If the said commissioners cannot agree upon the names of the persons to be selected by them as jurors, they shall proceed as follows : —each of the said commissioners shall make a list containing the names of one half of the requisite number of persons, and ten per centum in addition thereto, and the proper number shall be obtained by each of eat 1 commissioners -Diking out. ft-onrj.be list f iriii-hvd l.v tin: other a number equal fto the said addition, and the names not stricken out shall be the selection of the names of jurors: and the said jury commissioners shall in the mode and manner now directed by law, place the names in the proper jury wheel, find the said jury wheel, locked, as now required' by law, shall remain in the custody of the said jury commissioners, and the keys thereof, in the custody of the Sheriff of said county." i'nere is no doubt of the final passage of the hill by both houses, and the Governor will promptly sign it if passed. Justice demands that it should become a Inw. and that right speedily. An effort is being made by editors and pub lishers to liav.. a bill passed providing for the publication of the lam, r .u on wealth in at least tv. i newspapers in each county, at the expense of the county. Lot the Knights of the quill press the matter vigorously. Tito people of Pentia. are as much entitled to know what acta pas 3 each session as arc the citizens of other States. If the biil does not become a law this winter, let the newspaper men refuse to support any man forth Legis lature without he pledges himself to the measure. The temperance convention held in this city on Tuesday and Wednesday last, was de cidedly the largest body of a similar charac ter ever assembled in Pennsylvania, and the first one ever presided over by a Governor of the Commonwealth. Although some of our former Governors were favorable to temper ance, none of them had the courage, while holding office, to accept the j residency of a public meeting. Governor Geary was tem porary chairman of the convention held last week, and upon accepting the position he de livered a ghort address, in which he referred to the evil of intemperance, and expressed a determination to battle under the temper ance flag as he bad done under the (lug of" his country. His Excellency stated that in hi whole lifetime he had not used a quart of in toxicating liquors, and he never will. The convention was composed of the finest look ing body of men and women, ever assembled in convention here, and all expressed a deter mination to use every effort to abate the evil of drunkenness. A series of resolutions were adopted denouncing the liquor traffic and the use of liquors as a beverage, whether in the form of Stomach Hitters, or iu any other shape. Arrangements were made to estab lish un organization to be known as the Penn sylvania State Temperance Union, and a great amount of business was transacted look ing to the advancement of the temperance cause. Every county in the State was repre sented, and I noticed that in nearly every in stance the members of the convention were of the best men to be found in the communi ties which they represented. Whether the meeting just held will accomplish th- great work designed by the -members thereof, re mains to be seen. That something should he done to lesson the traffic in ardent spirits, is not disputed by any one. but it is not proba ble that a prohibitory law will ever be enact ed by a Pennsylvania Legislature. Our li cense laws should be more stringent, and few er retail houses licensed in the various towns and counties. In a recent letter I alluded to the fact that a bill had been introduced, having for its ob ject the ah ttei'pot of the gift enterprise liui- . sauce, and expressed a hope that the bill would become a law. I regret to be compel led to write now that there is but little proba bility of my anticipations being realized. In- | stead of the enactment of a law prohibiting the swindling "enterprises" referred to, it is j feared that a bill ma; pass to legalize lotteries i by granting licenses for prosecuting the busi ness. I his would open still wider the flood gates of iniquity by which so tuauy of our people have beeu swindled out-of their hard earned dollars. It is said that New \ ork Rharpers are at the bottom of the matter, and desire the passage of a bill which will permit them to come into this State and pursue their vocation. Our Senators and Representatives could not perform a better work thun to enact a stringent law to prohibit all kinds of lotter ies, gift enterprises, gift concerts, etc. The Legislature ha 3 been compelled to ap point a committee to inquire into the cause of the irregularity with which mail matter is sent to and from this city. Never before lias such a step been necessary, and the fact that the nppniutuient of such a committee is re quired now, is evidence that in tho bauds of ihe Bread and Butter brigade the mails are most miserably managed. Mail matter is mis sent, letters and valuables are stolen and lost, and complaints urc heard from all direction!-, of the iiiismauageraest of postal affairs. It is believed that, a free railroad law will : yet be pa: cd. Home of the members who, j heretofore opposed the measure are now in j favor of it. If wc do get a law of this kind, let it be one that will protect the interests of the Hiate and not allow roads to be built fur the purpose ot carrying Pennsylvania trade into the cities of other States. Let us have a good lav,- or none. Senate passed finally uu act in relation to .the fees of notaries public in the counties ot Bedford, Fulton and Somerset.

Proclamation from Governor Hrowulow. A characteristic proclamation lias just been issued bv Parson Browniow. Alter reciting the fact that outrages upon Union men are frequent in certain count ies ol Ten nessee he says: "Now, therefore, I, William G. Brown low, Governor as aforesaid, by virtue of the authority and power in inc vested, do hereby solemnly proclaim that 1 intend to put a stop to ali such outroges, by at onco calling into actual service a sufficient number of loyal volunteers, under the following recent act, which is now the law of Tennessee: The famous "State Guard Act" is then quoted in full. The Governor proceeds: "I hati no concessions to make to traitor-, no compromise to offer to assassins and rob burs; and it. in the sweep of coming events, retributive justice-shaH overtake the Lawle.-.s and violent their own temerity-will have called it forth. The outrages enumerated must and -hall cease." He thinks that the present State govern mcr.t will be preserved, despite ail the eff orts of disappointed traitors and disloyal newspapers. All the interests of the State and its fair fame ''require that these outrages at once cease." All good citizens arc urged to re main quiet and obey the laws. All such will be protected by the State Guard which in i very county will be commanded by uru dent and experienced officers. Its numbers "will be increased or diminished as the good or bad conduct of the people shall be devel oped. The proclamation closes with these words: "Hoping this proclamation will strengthen the hand- and inspire the hearts of the loyal people of our Htate as to the future, and de ter tin- di-loyal from further acts of viojence, I roq ectfully submit it, with a repetition of the a s-urauce that 1 mean what I say, and that the General Assembly was 111 earnest in the passage of this military law. The Veto Message. WASHINGTON. March 2.—The following is a synopsis of the President's veto men age on the Military reconstruction bill, lie submits whether this measure is not in ii..- whoie character, scope and object without precedent and without authority, and in palpable conflict with the plainest provisions of the Con.-titution, and utterly destructive to those great principles of liberty and hu manity for which our ancestors, on botli ides of' the Atlantic, bear shed so much blood and t xpended so much treasnro. He say- the bill would seem to have upon its face that the establishment of peace and good order is not its real object. lie alluded to the conditions which mii-i be fulfilled before the people of any .-outh ern State can be relieved from the bondage of ujiilai v ihuninioa., The rule which it ebtabllhlie.s is plainly to i>g u >oa not lor any purpose of order, but solely as a means of coercing the people into the adoption of principles and measures to which it is known they are opposed and upon which they have an undeniable right to exercise their own good judgment. He concluded by saying that at pre- nt ten States are denied repre sentation. and when the Fortieth Congress assembles on the fourth day of the present month sixteen States will be without a vote in the House of Represent at i'. - —Th< grave facts, with the important question before us, should induce us to pause in a course of legislation which, looking solely to the attainment of political ends, fails to eonsidci she right, it transgresses the laws which it violates or the institutions which it imperils.' From Saint Louis. Sr. hoi is, March 1. —Governor Fletcher has sued the Dispatch newspaper, of this city, for on hundred thousand dollars, lie had previously sued the KepnhUain for a like amount. A special to the Democrat this morning, from Warrensburg, Mo., states that l>ick Sanders, the notorious desperado, "The Knight of Four Revolvers. was found hung by the neck from a tree, in tbe imrue diate vicinity of the late murder, he being, as rumor says, captured in the house of his brother in law. by posse of over sixty men, some of whom identified him as one of the murder. r3 of Mr. Switzer on Monday last. Sanders made no confession, but enough wa obtained from him to show that he belonged to a gang ol' thieves and desperadoes whose late exploits of murder and horse stealing have ereatad so much terror in this and ad joining counties. —His companion, in crime su-seeded in escaping acr-s the Mi-.-ouri river west of Lexington. Great excitement exists in the vicinity, and a iarge mass meet ing was hold in the court house ye.-icrday atternoou, participated in by persons of all parties, and a determination wa- come to immediately to form vigilance committees throughout, the county and western p.rt of the State. Among those who are at the head of the. committee arc men who wvre prominent in the committee at San Francisco California, in 185 S. IN January, l-'U, Wm. Garrett, aced about twenty live years, a resident of Wont Mahoning Indiana county, while in the United States army serving in Kentucky, same acquainted with and married a well • i do vvid w lady of Louisville, named Mrs. Mary Brush, aged about forty. They renio u 1 to Indiana county in this State, where Vt i iiuui bought from his lather a farm for s2,i>oo, paying down $1 500. "Incompati bility of temper" soon manifested itself be tween the couple, which resulted in William leaving his wife, taking with him a goodly share of personal effects. Whereupon Mrs. Garrett, by her next friend, brought suit against her husband, Wm. Garrett, for the recovery of $1,500 in money—a sum she alleges to have loaned her said husband, in order to make payment for the land pur chased, as stated. The case came up before arbitrators in Indiana last week. A vigorous defense was made in the trial of the cause. But the Aibitrators, in their wisdom, deci ded that Mrs. Garrett is entitled to recover from her said husband. Win. Garrett, $l - 75. debt and interest. The trial of the case occupied live days. THE New York Herald's special says: There was a rumor in Washington last night that the President contemplates a clean sweep ol hisCabiuet with but one ex ception. .It is said Judge Black is to be come Secretary of State The one exception i- Judge Staubery, Attorney General. A gentleman who has been a member ol to Cabinets, and who served as a General in the rebel army, now in Washington, savs the President at fir.-t intended to sign the reconstruction bill, but afterwards changed his mind and thought he would pocket it, in accordance with the advice of the elder Blair Again, afterwards, he said he would veto it, and the message would be a strong legal document. Tie gentleman is of the opinion that Mr. Johnson is roally incapable to lili the position he occupies, as he is too much under the control of his Cabinet and one or two outside rings, and he firmly be lieves the President would have signed the hill had it not been for the influence of Mr. Seward and Mr. McUulloeh. THE New York Tribune's Norfolk special says: The five magistiates of the Corpora tion Court arres:ted Thursday for refusing to take negro testimony, were arraigned yes terday. A. L. Hill was discharged: it ap pearing that he had dissented from the de cision of the Court. He is the only Union man among the magistrates. The ease was adjourned till Friday.
