CAMPBELL, OF CAMBRIA COUNTY. BALTIMORE VS. PHILADELPHIA. Philadelphia in her stately dignity, with the incubus of the Penna. Central Rail-road dogging her footsteps, is gradually permit ting ber younger but more energetic rivals to gain upon her in the race of progress. Baltimore, aided by the enterprise and lib erality of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company, has recently established a regular line of steamers to Bremen. She has been enabled to do this through the liberality of her great Railroad Company which has subscribed half the money necessary to in augurate the enterprise. Philadelphia with more than double the population and wealth, and the terminus of one of the great rail road lines of the country has no line of foreign steamers. Efforts have been made time and agaiti to establish sucha line, but, owing to the lack of enterprise ami lib erality on thn part of tier wealthy and corporations, have never succeeded in establishing a permanent line of steamers to any foreign port. Why cannot the Penna. Central Railroad Company do as I tnuch for Philadelphia as the Baltimore and Ohio Company has done for Baltimore? The Penna. Central has been the pet of Philadelphia and of the whole state, having been built and placed upon a sure basis by the liberality of the city and state and now like the generality of pets, shows its appre siarion of the favors shown it, by the most unparalleled ingratitude. Managed in a spirit of supreme selfishness it is willing to sacrifice all the best interests of the 6tate that nurtured it and its chief city to which j it owes so much, to the one idea of grasping ail the outstdc railroad world, in order to ' pour wealth into the coffers of its close- s fisted managers and stockholders. In order to accomplish this it went to Harrisburg iast winter, and asked ami received the privilege of increasing its capital stock $35,- 000,000. Did it give ten or twenty millions pf this toward establishing a foreign line of steamers for Philadelphia or for the buil ding of branch or mainline railroads to con tribute to the prosperity of either the city of Philadelphia or state of Pennsylvania? Net one cent was given toward either. Bat in stead perhaps, a hundred thousand dollars were spent in occupying the route of the C'onnellsville and Southern Pennsylvania Railroad, in order to prevent the building ofaroadon that route by any other com pany. That is a hundred thousand dollars were spent by this tyranieal monopoly to prevent a lhtc of road being built, that would develop one of the richest mineral sections of the state and pour increased business, wealth and population into Philadelphia and largely promote the prosperity of the whole state. What thanks did the people of the state receive; anyevtaencc or gratitude tor their liberality in thus extending the privi leges of the Central Railroad ? >n the con trary they are taxed in freights and passen ger fare over the central Railroad far heavier in proportion than parties out side of the state and made, in great part to pay the expense of keeping the monopoly's Vine in repair, so that they can carry outsi ders and their freights at rates far below what the patient citizens of the state are made to pay. The result of this policy is that throughout the state, wherever the people are obliged to patronize the mo nopoly, they find that freights, in many in stances, cost as much or more to-day, from Philadelphia, then they did when goods were carried westward in Conestoga wag ons. It is not much to be wondered at, therefore, that many peot i begin to imag ine that the boasted advantages of railroads are not so great an improvement on the old methods of transportation after all. Such arc the results of having imposed upon us a grand, greedy, grasping, selfish mo nopoly. When will the people of Philadel phia awake to their interests and shake off the yoke of Central Railroad tyrranny? When she does so, and co-operates with the rest of the state in making all corporations, and especially this grand monopoly, the servants, instead of the grinding and tvrani cal masters of the people, she may hope to take the place she deserves to occupy among the great cities of the nation. Until then, driven away by illiberality, selfishness and lack of enterprise, the business of the state will continue to seek other and more liberal and promising centres of trade. TERRORISM IN THE SOITH. Our Democratic brethern would have the people believe that the South would be a ptuicvv imiouin) u owvu Pope, Sickles, Sheridan&c., were kept away. General Hancok has had several months control of the Southwest trying to carry out a different policy from that of the before mentioned heroes with what results is in dicated in the following article from the Pittsburg Chronicle of a few days ago: The dispatches which we published in yesterday's issue, relative to the brutal mur der of Hon. George W. Ashbvrn, of Co lumbus, Georgia, by a gang of villains in dis guise, and the breaking up of a Republican meeting at Valdosta, Georgia, by a band of regulators of the Ku-Klux Klan, come at the heels of mnch similar information through letters and newspapers, and show that in portions of the South, a reign of ter rorism is in actnal operation. It verily seems that these ill-fated people are moved by some malignant fatality to thwart all efforts which look towards their gradual restoration to order and prosperous enter prise. Not satisfied with opposing every political measure that has been devised to enable them to get out of the dreadful slough in which they were left upon the suppression of the rebellion, they are actu ally engaged in the suicidal business of convulsing society so utterly by lawlessness, as to put a complete quietus upon the views and schemes ol all those adventurous North ern capitalists, who had begun seriously to meditate risking their families and fortunes m the South. There is no truth more manifest than that the Southern people cannot extricate themselves from poverty and business stag nation withont aid from tho North. The appeal lately made in behalf of Gen. LEE'S Collage, shows that they cannot sustain even an educational institution without foreign aid. But the wide spread torpor and misery that rest like crushing shadows upon every department of labor and industry, can never be expelled unless capital and fresh muscle and enterprise from other qaarters come ID to impart life and energy, and stimulate the desponding population. So important awl so palpable is this fact, that not long since a leading journal in Richmond, \ irginia, kepi up for weeks an urgent editorial invitation to Northern men to come on with their money and'buy lands, and mills ana fac tories, and start once more the wheels of labor, assuring them ola warm and cordial reception, and denouncing as vile slanders the reports that they would encounter risk of persoflal violence. It is not pleasant for us to be com polled to state that at present, in many Southern States, it would he unsafe for a Northern man to buy property and attempt to carry on any fanning or manufacturing enter prise. We have never gone out of our way to give added circulation to the prejudicial stories that are periodically current about the South. Whenever we could, consist ently with the truth, present the brightside of the picture, we have cheerfully done so. But it is, in our judgment, perfectly clear from the accumulated information which poors in upon us, that, notwithstanding the cheerfwi fancies of such military optimists as General HANCOCK, there is an immense amount of crime perpetrated in Tennessee, Georgia, Texas, and portions of Arkansas and Missouri. How far it would be possible to curb these excesses by military power we cannot deter mine. It is probably impossible to keep perfect order over so wide an area and amongst a population so thoroughly demoralized bv a long and unsuccessful war. \ ears will elapse before ai.j-UGnir bearing the faintest semblance to the orderly ana regulated institutions of the North will prevail. Then will slowly set in a desirable immigration, and the wasted and cursed South will begin to recover, to get strength, to enjoy the BLESTIDGS of law, and to reap the fruits of sensibly directed industry. EDUCATIONAL ENDOW MENTIS. We arc indebted to the courtesy of an unknown friend for a copy of the PhUadd phut Evtmny JiuUetiu containing a somewhat leDgthy notice of the donation of $20,000, by John A. Brown. Esq, of Phildealpliia, to Lafayette College, at Easton, Pa. Beside the present, this institution has recently been the fortunate recipient of a number of handsome douations. Thelargestof these was $220,tH)0 made by Mr. Pardee. A number of other citizeus of the State have given sums from $20,000 to $25,000 toward its emhwiuent We always delight to record contributions toward building up and increasing the number and efficiency of our institutions of learning. On the education of our people depends the stability of our froc institutions, and men of wealth can do nothing that will con. tribute more to the glory of the state and the welfare of her people than to contribute liberally of their means to promote the efficiency and permanency of our educational institutions. We also approve of concen trating, to a certain extent, offorts of this kind! upon a few good schools rather than upon a great many indifferent ones. While, therefore, we are gratified to re cord this last act of beaeficenee, we feel constrained to call the attention of the public to a matter of both state and national interest. We mean Pennsylvania College at Gettysburg. Will not some of our mil lionaires donate a few hundred thousand or a million of dollars to rear an educational institution uu mis nxsunic giuuui, m-* shall be not only an honor to the state but to the nation? What titter place in all onr wide land to send our sons to learn lessons of wisdom, and patriotism at the same time, than that on which our national liberties were for the third time rescued from the enemies of free institutions? Gettysburg is already enblazoned on the pages of history as one of the great battle-fields of the world. Its name will be surrounded with a halo of glory, and pilgrimages will be made to Cemetery hill and Round Top from all parts of the world, while the human heart continues to thrill with the inspi rations of freedom, and honor to be rendered to the men who sealed their devotion to its principles with their life blood on its hardly contested field. Penn sylvania College already ranks among the first educational institutions in the state having had almost twice as many students as Lafayette in 18G7 and being exceeded by only three others in the State. But this is not sufficient: occupying as it does a central position between the North and the South, easy of access and of historic fame, as a matter of national and statu pride, it should be made the first of the kind in the nation. We hope yet to see our Alma Muter oc cupy this proud position and to hear her named among the great schools of the world. Who will inaugurate the good work ? What shall wc hear from Philadel phia ? Noted for her patriotism during the war, will sho not give at least as much to ward a matter of national interest and pride as she has done for places of less note? GOV. GEARY AND THE TREE RAIL ROAD LAW. Some of the more unscrupulous of our copperhead cotcmporaries have endeavored to throw blame on Gov. Geary for vetoing me iiim nee lamuu vn ao n was passed. They doubtless have weighty reasons for thus aiding the monopoly. Gov. Geary made a noble stand in behalf of the people by vetoing the first bill, which every one knows was so modified by the Senate after being passed by the House, as to suit the wishes of the Central Railroad Company, the bill was then given in charge of a com mute of conference where the Senate amendments were acceded to and the bill in this shape, as passed by the Senate, was forced through the House and sent to the Governor. There were two points on which he based his veto, one that the bill contain ed provisions not relevant to the subject stated in the title and was therefore uncon stitutional; the objectionable provisions were interpolations by the agents of the monopoly allowing any existing railroad company to increase its capital without limit; the other objection was that tho bill was entirely too stringent in its exactions to meet the wants of the people and that more liberty should be allowed. When the veto was sent to the House another bill was immediately passed, we believe unani mously, obviating the objectionable features of the former one, it was promptly sent to the Senate where it was also passed and has since been signed by the Governor. So that instead of being blamed for his courage in vetoing a free-railroad bill, doctored to suit the Central Railroad Companys views, ho deserves the thanks of the people for giving them a law such as they have been asking ior. If he had signed the first bill with its-ei'ieptionable feature* we would now bo saddle 1 with a nominal free railroad law and yet be unablo to build roads because of its rest! ictions. We have not yet seen the bill but are credibly informed that under it there w ill no longer be any hindrance in our laws to building railroads anywhere in the State. We hope it is so and that the peo ple will once more be free to build roads where they please and tind them conducive to their interests, limited only by then ! ability to raise the necessary money. Gov. ' Geary has been true to his promises not ! withstanding tho false assertions of his I Copperhead enemies, aud will receive the thanks of the people for his faithfulness. INK LVSCH'B UKADUALIIESIJJMP TION HLAM. Mr. Lynch of Maine has pending in the j House of Representatives a plan for gradually resuming specie payments. Briefly stated, it consists in issuing from the Treasury coupon bonds to the amount of $300,000,000 of denominations of SIOO and upward, bearing interest at four per cent, payable Quarterly in lawful money, and making these and greenbacks reciprocally convertible into each other at the pleasure of the holder; after the Ist of May next, all United States legal tender tigtes received by the United States, say $1*0,000,000 per year, or $15,000,000 pci uiunth, ro to retired and destroyed, and in their stead notes payable one year from date, in coin, are to be issued to all creditors to whom legal tenders have heretofore been paid. By the Ist of May, 1869, $180,0*10,000 in coin notes would have taken the place of the present greenbacks, having been paid out for salaries, Government contracts, currency interest, and all expenses of the Government. These notes will conic due at the rate of half a million of dollars a day during the year 1869, and are to be redeemed in gold. By repeating the same operation for 1809 and IS7O, the whole issue of green backs now outstanding would have been con verted into demand notes, and would be redeemable in gold by May 1, 1871. Mr. Lynch says that he firmly believes that the presentation and redemption of the first • $15,000,000 of these notes would so estab lish public confidence as to reduce the i premium on gold to a nominal figure. 'The difference between the plan and that of i immediate resumption is that it limits the amount of notes which can be presented to the Government for redemption to half a million of dollars per day after one year from the Ist of May next. As oar gold receipts from customs amount to about a third of a million a day, it is thought that so gradual a run on the Treasury for its gold could be successfully met uutil the public confidence had so far improved as to reduce the premium on gold to a nominal figure, when specie payment would be resumed by the banks and the people voluntarily. Mr. Lynch's plan is one of the most thoughtful of the gradual plans of resumption yet advanced. —. Tribune. TUE ELECTIONS. Our copperhead contemporaries have re- j v.cuily been exemplifying inc om j drowning men catch at straws. Beyond re- ; cording their old majorities in a few local 'elections and heralding them abroad as "great re-actions," "glorious victories" &c., 1 they have had nothing to cheer their drooping spirits until the barren victory of Connecticut. Barren victory we call it because—though they carried the Governor by 1735 of a majority, an increase of about 700, it was done by the increased vote of a few large towns, where there are reported to have been extensive frauds committed. The charge of frauds is further substantiated by the fact that while the Govenor has been elected by the cop- ' perhcads, the Republicans have carried the ' legislature by an increased majority. Tiie J victory in fact is worse than barren, it is an absolute defeat, for while they have elected j the Governor for one year, we have gained the legislature which will elect a I nited . States Senator for six years, to fill the place j of the renegade Dixon whose term expires on ; the 4lh of March next. The ostensible re joicing over snch mythical victories as this is j but a mockery of mirth, a whistling to keep ; their courage up. Yet with this single ex ception no election this year, in which there has been anything more than a local issue, has gone copperhead. The special election for I Congressman in Ohio, the fierce struggle in : New Hampshire, later the election in gallant little Übode Island, where we increased our majority nearly 3000, and now Wisconsin, have all gone Republican. Verily if the elections are to be relied on the much talked of 4 're-action" of our copperhead brethren is yet to come. The people are indicating their approval of Impeachment as well as of the whole course of the Republican party by the unmistakable test of the ballot box. THE AMERICAN COLONIZATION SOCIETY is making an earnest on>nl f,> r tnnnev tn wtv-a.. :.. lAocrta more than two thousand frecdman who want to go there. Four thousand frecdmcn have petitioned Congress to send them to Liberia, or to give the Colonization Society the means to send them. Some of their petitions have been published, and also some letters from them, from all of which we judge they are persons of some intelligence, good character, and earnest in their desire to emigrate. They are poor and unable to pay their expen-os. Many of them have friends in Liberia. They arc all needed there —and an they want to go there, it seems desirable that they should be assisted. Tho Society's ship is expected to sail first of May aad can carry six hundred and fifty cf them. Donations should therefore be made at once and sent in sums, large or small, to Rev. W. Me Lain, D. D., Financial Secretary, American Colonization Society, Washington, D. C. MR. GOLDWIN SMITH IS COMING.— Mrs Goidwin Smith, to correct inaccurate report, that are afloat, writes from Oxford, Eng land: "I am going to devote myself to the study, and, if after due study I feel equal to the task, to the composition of American history. With this view I shall probabjy take up my abode in the United States in the course of tho present summer. My undertaking necessarily implies a pro longed residence in the country where it oust be carried on. But lam not going to seek naturalization in America, or to cast off my allegiance to ipy own Sovereign and my native laqd." IN view of the frauds developed in the Senatorial contested election case just con eluded, and ofthe frauds proven in the contested election cases in Philadelphia, and of the fact that the immense Dctno cratie vote in the Luzerne and Schuylkill mining districts, is now known to have been cast on false naturalization papers, is it not a piece of impudence in Judge Sbars wood to remain on tho Supremo Bench. There is not a doubt that Judge Williams was fairly elected, that be had a majority of the legal vote cast, and that he should cow be on the Bench ofthe Supreme Court. If George Sharswood is the man of honor he is claimed to be, be should blush to hold a place which nine out of every ten honest men in the State beliefs was secured for him by the frauds of liispai tizan supporters. —fi'late Guard. .MB.

The companies howev er. are compelfld to lay down a flat rail, with a projectbn in the middle, which keeps the grooved wheel of the ear in place. Carriages arc thus not incommoded in the least by the railroad. Here a railroad track makes it very inconvenient to drive a ear rage through the areet in which it i- laid. The rail is a deep groove into which the earrage-wheel drops, and from which it is extracted only at the risk of braking the wheel or tho axle. UENEUAJ. MAV.S ITEMS.
