BEDFORD, PA., FRIDAY, XOV. |
OBEI) TO LAH.
One of the peculiar features of Amcri
can character, that arrests the attention
and wins the admiration of every intelli
gent foreigner, is the universally acknowl
edged supremacy of the law, and the im
plicit obedience yielded thereto. It
ia an essential quality without which
republican governments cannot exist.
Without it democracy would be forever a
failure. It is a fundamental principle of all
free governments, that the will of the peo
ple shall be the law of the land. The
measures of the majority, expressed by their
votes at the ballot box and incorporat d in
to the laws of the State by tluir represen
lives, must be the law and to it im| :
obedience must be render" ! by d if the •
laws be obnoxious they mu-t -till' '• <no
until, by a new appeal at the proper too -,
the obnoxious features are removed in the
>ame manner in which they were first pas
cd. This feature of our national character
forms the basis of our political stability and
domestic quiet. This deference to law is
the legitimate result of a general diffusion
of intelligence. And in thi may be found
incontrovertible evidence, that free, repub
lican, constitutional governments can only
exist permanently where the masses are ed
ucated The respect for, and observance of
law are the natural result of that intel
ligence which can comprehend the tact, that
whenever an obnoxious law is p-"- - d it may
be openly and freely discussed and its unjust
features held up before the public, until,
convinced of its injustice, public opinion
through the ballot-box decrees its repeal.
Thus every act of the majority not founded
on sonnd principles of strict and impartial
justice is sure to be speedily exposed and
promptly repealed by an intelligent public
opinion expressed in a legal manner at prop
er and regular intervals. Tt is becau-o of
this assurance the method of reasoning by
which it is reached being clear to every in
telligent mind, that efforts at a forcible re
sistance of obnoxious or unpopular laws are
almost entirely unknown, e.-peciallv in the
free States. The gigantic rebellion so re
cently suppressed could never have arisen
had the same degree of intelligence perva
ded that deluded section of our country that
prevails in the free States. No better ar
gument than this is required to demonstrate
the importance of educating the masse- of
our people, yea its absolute necessity, if wc
would preserve our free institutions and
continue a law abiding people. It i- only
the ignorant and degraded that will permit
themselves to be blindly led by political
demagogues into acts of violence as a means
of redressing their grievances, under a re
publican form of government. Compact
party organizations, moving like dumb ma
chinery at the will of a single leader, arc al
ways to be deprecated, in a Democratic gov"
eminent, as the unmistakable evidence of
that degree of ignorance that thinks not for
bui t/tiuUi; ■•<! keener*/ ,i...
mischievous and dangerous direction of wily,
scheming demagogues. On the other baud
the fact, that the strict discipline of a party
is impossible because of the diversity of
opinion among its members, is one of the
most cheering evidences of the safety with
which the country's destinies may be en
trusted to its earc. Diversity of opinion
indicates independent thought and action,
and no party, in which these conditions ex
ist, however strong, can ever endanger our
national liberty. The masses of such a |
party can never be carried into unlawful ex- i
cesses or forcible resistance to regularly en
acted laws, by any leader or leaders what
ever their popularity or ability. The ten
dency to a strict obedience to existing law
ever increases with intelligence and de
creases with ignorance. There can be no
greater or surer safeguard to our republican
institutions than the general diffu-ion of in
telligencc, and the education of the ma -ee;
nor can there be any more dangerous, enemy
to our liberties than an ignorant and degra
ded populace. The one gives stability to
free governments, the other hurries them to
their downfall. Intelligence and liberty go
hand in hand and rise or fall together. Ig
norance is the friend and tool of tyrants
alone.
THE REACTION BUGBEAR.
The copperhead papers arc teeming with
Hauiing accounts of what they choose to call
the "Great Reaction." True they have car
ried New York by over 40,000 majority,
which neither wc nor they expected, they
have carried Ohio and Pennsylvania but by
very small majorities and New Jersey and
Maryland have gone with them. We are
satisfied thet they shall rejoice while they
may, but we predict that their joy will not
be of long duration. The more prudent of
their leaders already recognize this fact and
their rejoicing at the present is tempered
with fear of the future. They know that
the much talked of reaction will prove de
ceptive. Of the elections in ten States, on
the .Ith inst, New York, New Jersey, and
Maryland were carried by the Cops, while
the other seven, despite of local issues, ne
gro suffrage and woman's rights have goDe
clearly and unequivocally Republican. In
New York we had to bear the burthen of
the excise law and Temperance question,
while a hundred thousand voters through
apathy and fancied security did not go to the
polls, a largo majority of whom, as usual,
were republicans. If in the fact, that, with
out a national issue, with sabbath breakers,
rum-suckers, outlaws, iu faet all the rabble
of the country gathered to their ranks by
party pledges, while the republicans were
saddled with, the Temperance cause, the
observance of the christian Sabbath, and the
cause of law and order generally, (all good in
themselves but improperly brought into the
political arena,) they have only been able to
carry three out of ten States, less than one
third, they can find cause of rejoicing, in
view of a national contest in which all those
local questions will be dropped, wc can only
say tbey are heartily welcome to all the joy
they can get out of such a prospect. If a
Presidential election were to be held to-uior
row wc would sweep the country with more
than half a million of a majority.
THE UNION PACIFIC- *AIGKOAD-
What It Is, w hat It Will Be.
{ i„, readers have heard of it lately, and
r they will hear more of it at very brief inter-
I vais FiV<r hundred miles of track have
! been laid from the East, and an artery for
the iron way has been cut through the
stony heart of the Sierra Nevadas on the
West. For two or three years more along
a line stretching across the Rocky Moun
tains and through the Humboldt Valleys,
there will be the bustle and rush of a great
aruiy, with its long trains and busy camps,
aud there will be a smell of burning powder,
and shocks and echoes like a greet battle.
Rut this army is not to destroy, but to cre
ate. Its trains are not loaded with bristling
weapons, but with picks and shovels, and
its artillery sweeps away nothing but the
defiant rocks that have stood for long ages
in the way of advanciug civilization. In
two or three years, the builders of the West
coming East, and the builders of the East
going West, will meet somewhere about
Jiait Lake, aud then we shall have the gran
de?t civic celebration of modern times.
The two great divisons of a continent will
be united amidst national rejoicings, and all
the great officers and a host of the great
people will be present to witness the august
ceremony. We can now imagine, that we
-ce the President of the United States driv
ing the last spike to the rail which Is to bind
the Atlantic and Pacific States together in a
national unity and prosperity such as we
have never known before. Thousands who
have been waiting some better means of
reaching California than a crowded steamer
and near a month's passage offered, will
seek homes among the gold mines aud gar
dens by this new and speedy means of Tran
sit. Vine growers from Germany will
swarm upon her hills, than which none are
more productive of wine; and far up the
vast regions through Oregon, and Washing
ton Territory, to our new Russian Posses
sions, the tide of an increasing population
will ebb and flow over this Pacific Railroad.
The idea of the work was a grand one.
It had become indispensable to the develop
ment and safety of the nation, and nothing
less than the nation's power could execute
it. We are practically, to day, almost twice
as far from San Francisco as from St. Peters
burg, and in ease of war, one side of our
country would be almost severed from the
other. The nation needed this l'aeific Rail
road to develop its vast territories, which
arc ,o rich iu lands, mines, and treasure, and
to overcome barbarism with the institutions
ot religion, science and art.
These, as well as other reasons, induced
Congress to grant the most substantial aid
to the two great companies that are now
constructing the Pacific Railroad and tele
graph line, and that have already spent over
forty million dollars upon it. The land grant
of 12,i500 acres to the mile is certainly
uiuniliccnt, but it increases the value of
every other acre in that vicinity tenfold.
The grant of fifty million dollurs in Govern"
ment bonds on which the U. S. Treasury
pays the interest, and for which it takes a
second lien upon the road as security, is
large, but the Union Pacific Railroad carries
troops, freights, and mails for the goveru
llJl.SU io an amount WHICH pays ititn liueiesi
several times over. No other public work
ever gave such promise of future usefulness
or profit.
The Union Pacific, unlike other railroad
companies,, is a thoroughly national Com
pany. It derives its charter directly from
Congress, and five Government Directors
and three Government Commissioners as
sist in the control and inspection of its
affairs. It will be the great central railroad
of the country, and of course, will be the
artery of an immense commerce. And tbi.-
answers the natural inquiry, "AVill the road
pay !" We don,t see how it can help it.
The traffic that is waiting for it and that
will be developed by it is beyond contingency
aud as there will be no rival line, it is verv
l.kely that the Company will not forget to
charge remunerative prices. The way, or
local businc- - on but .125 miles, yielded over
a million dollars in a single quarter of the
present year, and shows that every section
| is a productive property in itself as soon as
completed.
Under sueh circumstances, the Union
Pacific Company has every reason to antici
pate the most brilliant success, and wo do
not wonder that it is inspired to make the
greatest efforts to secure the completion ol
the line at the earliest possible moment.
Its stockholders have already paid in over
five million dollars in money upon the work
already done, and are able to supply ample
means for construction. Rut if a company
which has already shown so much energy
could tail in finishing their work (which no
one believes possible), it would not cease.
The Government that holds the second lien
upon the road would be compelled to come
in and complete it to protect its own inter
ests, and the security of the First Mortgage
Rondholders would remain unimpaired.
Hon. John J. Cisco, for many years Assis
tant Treasurer of the United States in New
York, is one of the Directors, and also the
Treasurer of this Company. He is well
known to be a gentleman of most conserva
tive opinions and careful judgment in all
financial matters, and we notice that he
recommends these bonds as among the infest
securities.
FIVE THOUSAND persons have recommen
ded the pardon of William Johnson, of Al
toona, who was convicted for counterfeiting
at the last term of the United States District
Court and sentenced to the Western Peniten
tiary. If Johnson had stolen a mackerel or
a loaf of bread to feed a starving family, it
would have been hard to have gdttcn five
persons to sign a petition for his pardon.
Rut he is a rich knave, who became opulent
by Lis rascality, which accounts for the
alacrity with which his pardon is sought.
Of course Johnson, the President, will par
don Johnson, the counterfeiter, on the
principle of a fellow feeling making, him
wondrous kind.— liarritburgh Telegraph.
Johnson has since been pardoned.
DR. MCDO, the conspirator, who is a pris
oner at the Dry Tortugas, faithfully attended
the sick in the yellow fever epidemic there,
all the other Surgeous being prostrated. He
didn't lose a case, and in consideration of his
services, efforts are being made to obtuin a
pardon for him.

KHOM WASHINGTON.
The Bradley Cane —Judge Fisher .Sustained
—Bradley turned out of Court.
WASHINGTON, NOV. 9. —In the Supreme
Court of the I>i.-trict of Columbia to day
Mr. Bradley read a statement in answer to
the rule of the Court for him to show cause
why he sbonld not be excluded from the
Bar as a practicing attorney, owing to his
former difficulty with Judge Fisher.
The Hon. Robert J. Walker made an
argument in his behalf, when the full court,
through Chief Justice Carter, sustained the
order of Judge Fisher, heretofore made sus
pending Mr. Bradley as a practitioner at the
Bar.
Justice Carter, in the course of his re
marks. said it was a painful duty, but it. was
necessary that the court should sustain its
dignity and punish the contempt.
Mr. Bradley thauked the Court for the
delicate manner in which it had announced
its decision, but said that he long ago con
templated retiring altogether from the Bar,
but that the present manner of severing his
connection with the Courts rendered the
separation more unpleasant.
THE SL'KRATT CASE.
Attempt to Burn the Rogers.
WASHINGTON, November 7. —Some per
sons unknown, kindled a fire yesterday
morning, about ten o'clock, in the law office
ofE. C. Carrington, District Attorney, ad
joining the police headquarters, on Louisiana
Avenue. The fire was kindled in the corner
ofthe room, behind hisdesk, and the flames
would have done much damive had the fire
not been discovered and extinguished by
the detectives before it had gained much
headway. The book case under which the
fire was built was filled with valuable papers
many of them being letters and other pa
pers used as evidence in the Surratt case;
and it is pretty certain that this attempt
was to destroy these papers.
THE SUNDAY CAK QUESTION.
Opinion of the Supreme Court. —Decision
of Judge Strong Reversed.
I'lTTsnGßoii, Nov. 7.—ln the Supreme
Court this morning, the decree of the Court
below in the case ofSparhawk A al. vs. The
Cnion Passenger Railway Company, of
Philadelphia, was reversed, and the bill dis
missed, by a majority opinion. Justices
Strong and Agncw dissenting. The rever
sal is made upon radical grounds entirely,
and the opinion is full aud ably written.
Judge John M. Read, in a lengthy opiu
ion, takes the broad ground that the run
ning of the cars on Sunday is "a work of
necessity and charity." Judges Woodward
and Thompson say that if the running on
Sunday is illegal, the remedy is at law and
not in equity.
COAI. AND IRON IN KLROPE. The
l/>ndon Time, savs it hears from Liege that
ttie price or coat is itkH> to rati. •*A -
orders have come to hand to meet the re
quirements of domestic consumption, but
the industrial consumption has been reduced
in conecquence of the complete or partial
idleness of many works. Purine the first
eight months for this year the imports of
pig iron into France were '.'8,799 tons, or
only 9,f*K> less than in the corresponding
period of IXB6. The direction of the Dc
cazeville works having sought to reduce
wages, the workmen struck; an interven
tion of the authorities and concessions on
the part of the managers of the works were
found necessary in order to restore order.
Another blast fnrnacc has been blown out
in Belgium (at Cbatclencau;: a rolling mill
the basin of the centre has also been
stopped. Some contracts for iron and
plates arc said to have been concluded at
Liege, but at far from remunerative
rates. M. Laugrand-Dumoneeau, a well
known Brussels financier, has brought for
ward a scheme for an Austro Hungarian
railway, from Ivaschan to Oderberg, with a
branch from Abos to Eperies, or altogether
two hundred and twenty-eight miles. The
enterprise being wholly a Belgian alliiir,
Belgian industrials will, no doubt, supply
the rails and plans should the lines be car
ried out as proposed."
WE are told by the monthly report of the
Commissioner of Agriculture that a larger
wheat crop never has been raised in this
country than duriDg the present *eason,
though it is not as large as the breadth
sown might have led us to expect. The
most noticeable increase has been in the
Southern States, with the exception of
Texas. Oats and rye are estimated aliove
the yield of last year, barley slightly below,
beans and peas are an average. In corn,
the cash value, and the fattening and sus
taining qualities, are greater than last year.
Sorgo cultivation generally is reduced; buck
wheat is an average crop, potatoes a poor
one, and in tobacco a decline is indicated.
Cotton is estimated to amount to 2,000,(XX)
of bales, with a probability that it will lie
one-fourth more than this. The stock of
old wheat on hand is very low.
A BOi.i) and ingenious scheme is propros
ed by a Dr. John McHenry, of Ijouisiaua,
by which he desires to unite the waters of
the Missouri with those of the Gulf of
Mexico, through a new channel. This
channel is to begin at Kansas City, on the
Missouri, and to run to a branch of the
Osage, which is to be connected by a canal
with the Neosho river at the falls; thence it
is to run two hundred and fifty miles to
Fort Gibson, on the Arkansas, and down
that river to Fort Smith; then to pass
around the base of the San Boles Moun
tain into a branch of the Red river, and
thence down the Red and Sabine rivers to
Sabine Bay three hundred miles, and so on
to the Gulf. _
A private letter fromjthe interior of South
Carolina says that the most abundant crop
is now harvesting known for many years.
Corn is selling for fifty cents a bushel, but
there is little sale for it, as few have money
to purchase. There is much alarm among
whites of that part of the State of threats
uttered by some negroes,
A dispatch from Manchester, England,
states that it is regarded as probable that all
prisoners who have been tried and condemned
to death before the special commission there,
will have their sentences commuted; except
the three most prominent ones, Allen, Gould
and Larkin, who are shown by evidence to
be the actual murderers of policeman Beeds.
IT is understood that the President com
menced the preparation of his annual mes
sage on Thursday. Visitors, as a general thing
will not he received by the President until
after the message shall have been completed.

vantage enjoyed by no other journal in the
country.
