scbfori) Inquirer. BEDFORD, PA., FIIDAI', FEB. J, 1868. |.F\NBVLVANIA WIDOWS NOT TO SAVE INCREASE OF PENSION. The Pension office has decided not to pay Increase of pension to widows and orphans when the orphans are supported in Sol diers' Orphan Schools. This is a severe and uncharitable thrust at Pennsylvania. This state has done much for those who were made orphans by the late war while in other States little or no provision has been made. And because Pennsylvania has made liberal provision of this nature she is to be deprived of the annuities of the general government. We cannot sec why the Pennsylvania widow should not receive the same at the bands of the government that the Maryland widow receives ? W nat right has the general Government to claim exemption for charities bcsloWtd by 1 sylvania ? There are hundreds of widows in Pennsylvania to-day who pay more to place their children in the Soldiers Orphan Schools than the increase of Pension to which they would be entitled, if they did not avail them selves ofthe schools, would amount to. Ihe children o of all reputable mothers arc allowed to visit them twice a year, not at the expense of the School, but at the ex pense of the mother. Again the mother is allowed to visit her children frequently and when the mother has to travel several hundred miles to do so as they have to do when any ofthe Bedford county children are visited the Increase of Pension is no wheie. We hope Congress will correct this matter. THE RESTORATION I>^" RL J B /"I" TFR OF THE PITTSBURGH AMU CONMEIYNVILLE RAILROAD. The Supreme Court of J'ennsvlvania Jcci ded the act of Assembly winch deprived the Pittsburgh and Conoellsville Kailroad Company of its Charter to be unconstitu tional. and immediately upon the promulga tion of this decision the Legislature of Pennsylvania, first the Senate and then the House, unanimously restored the Iranchises of the Company with a provision that the road must be completed m three years from the approval of the restoratory act. lhe repeal of the charter was one of the greatest outrages ever perpetrated by the Legisla ture and the Restoration was a simple act of justice. The road will be put under con tract, wc suppose, as soon as the weather opens in the Spring, at least we have a right to expect this. What effect this will have on the Southern Pennsylvania and Con ncllsville Company we are not prepared to say. THE GREAT REACTION J.! ! Our Democratic cotemporaries have been dilating ad nauseam upon the great political reaction, that has taken place throughout the country. Giving loose rein to their imaginations they predicted the election of their candidate for Congress in t he Eighth dis trict of Ohio by a heavy majority, isince the election has taken place we hear no more of the reaction in that district. It was a reac tion in the wrong direction; a republican gain of six or eight hundred in as.ingle ( on gressional district in two aionths was truly a great reaction but it was not the kind our democratic friends predicted. Whether such reaction? are palatable or not, they may as well reconcile themselves to their lot and prepare for a great deal more of the same kind. This is only a picket gun compared with the thunder they will hear next fall. WANT seems to have become an almost world wide epidemic during the present winter. In many parts of our own country there exists real suffering from poverty, but very few if any are in danger of actual star vati i. This distress among us is attribu ted by some to the fault of the government, but the fact, that the Southern States and the Democratic City of New York, the one asserted to ]bc under the heel of radical despotism and the other known to be in the full enjoyment of all the blessingsC?) of a modem Democratic government, are the two centres of greatest suffering, seems to indicate some other cause, and that existing among and created by the people. But our suffering is slight and limited in comparison with the severity and general prevalence of the most distressing want in nearly all parts of Europe. In London alone there are at present 40,000 people fed by the govern ment to save them from starvation. The same story comes from nearly all of conti nental Europe, including France, Austria, Prussia, Poland, and Sweden, in all of which great distress prevails and many are on the verge of starvation. Four hundred thousand francs have been appropriated by the French government to help check death by starvation in Algeria, and- 3,000,- 000 fraDcs have been appropriated to direct charity in France. THTE attention of our readers is called to the speech of Hon. W. H. Koontz on the ouiside of this issue. It is an able and lucid argument in favor of the Supplemen tary Reconstruction measures pending in Congress. COMMONWEALTH vs. PITTBBURGII A- CONNELLSVILLE R, R. CO. Important Judgment tor the Defendant. Judge Sharswood of the Supreme Court yesterday gave an opinion in the important case of the Commonwealth vs. the Pitts burgh and Connellsville railroad company of which the following were the principal points: 1. It is claimed on behalf of the Com monwealth that the defendants have for feited their charter under the laws of Penn sylvania, by procuring a charter from the Commonwealth of Maryland. The Court say no authority has been cited for this position. A corporation does not transfer its allegiance by accepting a charter from another State. It does not thereby throw off its obligations under its original charter nor can it take shelter under the wing of its new relation from the conse quences of any violation of its duties under its old one. The Courts will maintain and enforce all her rights against her own cor porators, without regard to any immunities she may claim to possess beyond her terri tories, and within the jurisdiction of another State. The Court is therefore, of opinion that this eanse of forfeiture is not sustaned. 2. Another ground upon which the Com monwealth demands judgment is that the defendants, under the cover of their Mary- land charter, have instituted proceedings in the Circuit Court of the United States for the Western District against another cor poration created by this State, and other persons, praying that an act of the Legisla ture may be declared null and void. _ The Court decides that as the Circuit court of the United States is not the Court oi another sovereign, the point (ails to nave any force. Tbe Oouiroonweoiui hw not the right toconiplaiu that the Circuit Court, in case properly within its jurisdiction, was invoked by the defendants to pass upon the constitutionality of her act of legislation. The defendants violated no duty which they owed to Pennsylvania in commencing suit as a Maryland corporation in a Fedaral Court having jurisdiction. The Court therefore, decides that the Commonwealth has failed to sustain this ground. 3. A third cause of forfeiture averred is that the defendants intend to connect this road with a railroad in Maryland, and are engaged in constructing an extension with the purpose of connecting the game with the railroad of the Baltimore and Ohio rail road company. * The Court is of the opinion that the de fendants are licensed by the Legislature to form a connection with the railroad of the Baltimore and Ohio company. 4. The forth position is that by the Act of Assembly passed Aup. 19, 1864, all the rights, powers, franchisers and privileges conferred upon the defendents "for and in respect to all that portion of the lines of railway southwardly and eastwardiy from Connellsvillc, were resumed, revoked, re pealed, and put an end to" by the repealing act of the Legislature. The Court say that the power of the Leg islature in grants and contracts is limited and restrained by the provisions of the fed eral and State constitutions, so that it can not impair contracts either made by ttsell or others. Upon the case as presented by the pleadings on the fourth poiut. the Court overruled it and enters judgment for the de fendant. _ _ GENERAL NEWS ITEMS. ALL tax is to be taken from manufactured articles nnd placed on the raw material. CONFISCATION no longer troubles the peo ple of the South. THE anti-contraction bill will be allowed to become a law by the President without his signature. THE total ofthe general appropriation bill just reported to Congress exceeds > ,000,000. Mas. LIKCOI N is said to be in ill-health—and Mrs. Audrew Johnson scarcely if ever leaves her room. GOLD wis SMITH'S visit to America induces many people to believe that John Bright will also come to see us. Gov. ORK, of South Carolina, in declaring in favor of Congressional reconstruction, has produced great dismay among the fire eaters of his State. W. L. POUTER, of Memphis, was shot aud seriously injured on Thursday night by a party of men who called him out of his house and fired upon him. A NEW COUNTY is projected out of the I south-western portion of Lancaster and the south-western portion of Chester county. BEN WADE, at the end of his present term as Senator, will have served eighteen years in the Senate. In all that time he never lost sight of the truth, (bat all men are entitled to liberty, and now at the end of his services, he can look success in the face, conscious he never did a dishonorable act or spoke a cra ven word during all his career as an American Senator. IN the Supreme Courtpf the State,on Tues day. Judge Sharswooddelivered the unanimous opinion of the Court on the Conuellsville Railroad case. The opinion decides the act repealiug the charter of the company uncon stitutional, and declares the charter, with all rights and privileges, restored. A. K. MCCLURE offers for sale his interest In the Franklin Depository. THE Blair county Copperhead Convention, just held, has instructed in favor of Gen. Hancock for President. THE Democrat, Grand Rapids. Michigan, hoists the ticket: McClellan and Pendleton. The editor has probably been asleep for four years. JANU ARY 2otb. 1821. was one of the coldest days ever experienced in New England. In Massachusetts the temperature w#3 twenty degrees below zero: and in Maine it was thirty-five degrees below. EX-CHIEF JUSTICE WOODWARD, of this State, has made a speech in Congress, taking sides against Mr. Pendleton on the financial question. He repudiates repudiation. WYOMING County, Pa., has eletted delega tes to the Republican State Convention and instructed for Grant and Grow for President and Vice President. THE wife of the notorious Edward A. Poll ard on Tuesday shot one Dr. Moore in Balti more. Moore was Pollard's friend; Pollard had disappeared; Mrs. Pollard went to in | quire of Moore: Moore's replies were unsatis factory, and Mrs. Pollard got satisfaction by firing a pistol at him. This is the telegra phic report. Mrs. Pollard refused to give bail, and is in jail. She adheres to the good old southern custom of shooting people when disagreements occur. THE contract for the State Printing for three years ensuing, was awarded to the pres ent contractors, Messrs. Singerly & Myers, by the two Houses of the Legislature last Tuesday. Wiley & Geist, of Lancaster, were the next lowest bidders. Ex- VICE PRESIDENT HAMLIN', of Maine, is urged for re-nomination for Vice President on the Grant ticketby Washington politicians. THE Williamsport (Pa.) Standard nomi nates Jeremiah S. Black, Buchanan's Attor ney General, and Johnson's factotum, for President of the United States. A very silly rumor is current in different parts of the Continent, and has even been ex tensively printed, to the effect that the Prus sian Government has secured the use of the United States navy in case of war. THE Pennsylvania State Agricultural Society held its annual meeting and election of officers in llarrisburg last week. A Boyd Hamilton was elected President and Gen. '1 obias Barto, of Heading, was re-elected one of the Vice Presidents. The Executive Committee fixed the time for holding the next annual exhibi tion of the Society, on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, September 21th aiid 30th, and October Ist and 2d. It was ordered that the President and Secretary should invite proposals for the next exhibition, such propo sals to be laid before the Committee at it its next meeting, March 18th, 1868. THE Committee of the United States House of Representatives on Banking aud Currency, are said to be in favor of a bill withdrawing the National Bank circulation, and substitu ting legal tender notes therefor. Should such a bill be reported it will encounter strong opposition, but will in all probability command a majority of votes, in the House. NEW YORK may be considered decidedly, a foreign city. The registry list of the last Mayor's election shows66,ooo native to 77,000 foreign votes. The representatives in Congress from that city, vote invariably, in favor of foreign and against domestic interests. Under these circumstances it is a question what weight should be placed in Congress on the opinions or votes of such representatives. Owing to these facts it is notorious that New York is the worst governed city in the United States. A correspondent of the Daily Telegraph gives an account of the famine in Tunis. The country is in a most wretched state. The Arabs are dying by thousands from cold and starvation. In Tunis alone 8.000 have died in two months. The streets are full of or phans from three to eight years old, nuked and starving, eating the offal they find. To add Jo their suffering we have a winter of ex ceptional severity. Mothers abandon their children or sell them to Europeans for less than a shilling. Private charily can do little and the euibannssed government not much more. BAMJ. W. Dens, of guerrilla memory, familiarly known out West an "the brains ol John Morgan," baa very kindly published a letter of instruction to the Democray of the Southwest, in which he suggests George H. Pendleton as the propper candidate for the Presidency. Rebels ud Copperhead allies will experience no difficulty in supporting that nominee. Peudletou and Repudiation are the rallying-notsof the Copper-Rebel host. Au. the anthracite cool in the world is con tined to the WilkesLarre basin in Pennsyl vania, and is comprised in a district about fifty milts in length by four in breadth. It is doubtless destined to be some day exhausted, though not for several generations vet. _ The aggregate thickness of the several veins is about sixty feet. The business of mining and transportation is gradually tending tow ards consolidation in the hands ot a few large companies. A new daily Democratic paper, called the Daily Eagle, has been started in Heading Pennsylvania. THKRE are seventy two new members in the present House of Represeutativcs. Such a change was never before known iu the Leg islature, and shows that the people wore not altogether satisfied with the acts of those who last winter occupied seats in the same body. The fact is instructive to members of the present body. THIS Free Masons of Philadelphia are to erect a granite temple two hundred aud fifty feet long, one hundred and fifty feet wide and with a tower three hundred feet high. It is to be placed so that there will be a street on every side is to cost three quarters ofa million, and be five years in building. The lot is al ready purchased.

This bring. the line to the eastern base of the Rocky Mountains, and it expected thai the track will be laid thirty miles farther, to Evans Pass the highest point on the road, by January. Tie maximum grade from the foot of the mountains to the sumit is bnt eighty feet to the mile, while that of many eastern roads is over one hundred! Work on the roek-eotting on the western elope will continue through the winter, and there is D .,„ no reason to doubt that the entire grand line to the Pacific will be open for business in 1870. T he means provided for the construction of thi. Great National Work are ample. The United States grants its Six per cent. Bonds at the rale of from $16,000 to $48,000 per mile, for which ,t takes a second lien as security, and receives pay ment to a large if not to the full extent of it, claim in services. These Bonds are issued s each twenty-mile section is finical, and after it has been examined by the United States Com missioners and pronounced to be in all respects * first-class road, thoroughly supplied with depots, repair-shops, stations, and all the necessary rolling stock and other equipments. The United States also makes a donation of 12,80# acres of land to the mile, which will b a source of large revenue to the Company. Much of this land in the Platte Valley is among the most fertile in the world, and other large portions are covered with heavy pine forests and abound in coal of tne best quality. The Company is also authorized to iussue its own First Mortgage Bonds to an amount equal io the issue of the Government and no more. Hon. E. D. Morgan and Hon. Oakes Ames are Trustees for the bond-holders, and deliver the Bonds to the Company only as the work progresses, so that they always represent an actual and productive value. The authorized capital of the Company is One Hundred Million Dollars, of which over fire mil lions have been paid in upon the work already done. EARNINGS OF THE COMPANY. At present, the profits of the Company are de rived only from its local traffic, but this is already much more than sufficient to pay the interns on all ibe Bonds the Company can issue, if not an other mile were built. It is not doubted that when the road is completed the through traffic of the only line connecting the Atlantic and Pacific States will be large beyond precedent and, as there will be no competition, it can always bedone at profitable rates. It will be noticed that the Union Paciffic Rail road is, in fact, a Government H r ork, built under the supervision of Government money, and that its bonds are issued tinder Government directors. It is believed that no similar security is so care fully guarded, and certainly no other is based upon a large or more, valuable property. As the Company's FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS, are offered for the present at 9 CENTS ON THE DOLLAR, they are the cheapest security in ths market, being more than fifteen per cent, lower than U. S. Stocks. Tbey pay SIX PER CENT. IN GOLD, or over NINE PER CENT, upon the investment.
